Ozarks Technical Community College helps all types of students achieve their goals – whether it's the first-time freshman hoping to transfer to a four-year institution or the returning student looking to advance in a career. But what about the 14-year-old, gifted, homeschooled student headed for a Research I institution? As it turns out, OTC has a plan for that student too.
Just a few days shy of his 14th birthday, Matthew Parker earned a perfect score on his ACT. His parents, not quite ready to send him off to a four-year university, reached out to their local community college for help.
So Matthew and his parents, John and Christine, met with college administrators at the OTC Table Rock Campus to formulate a plan. As a result, Matthew began auditing a chemistry course on campus in the fall of 2018. His instructor, Rex Gerald, Ph.D., is a retired chemical physicist who used to work at the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago. Rex said the opportunity has been a great learning experience for both Matthew and the students in his class.
Matthew agreed, stating that the interpersonal relationships he is creating with other students are just as valuable as the research and experiments he's conducting in class.
Earlier this semester, Matthew attended a conference at the University of Tennessee at Martin where he presented his collaborative research on three different projects. The first analyzed the impact of knowledge in decision making. The second featured a scaled-down system for industrial-scale liquid processes and the third highlighted a laser-based system for forensic analysis.
At the end of the conference, Matthew received an award for giving one of the best oral presentations there. He will present his research again at another undergraduate research conference held next month at Missouri S&T in Rolla.
Looking ahead, Matthew predicts he will continue auditing classes and conducting research at the OTC Table Rock Campus until he's ready to pursue an education at the four-year college or university of his choice. He hopes to become a theoretical physicist someday.
Until Matthew uncovers the "theory of everything," he's enjoying his experiences in the Table Rock campus chemistry lab with Rex and his fellow classmates.

Q: Can I use jQuery-UI Dialog with HTML5 full screen? I've been working on a web application that, among other things, uses Google Maps API to display a map of an area with "pins" marking points of interest.  When the user clicks on a pin, the application uses jQuery-UI Dialog to display information about the clicked pin in a dialog.
Later on, I decided that it might be nice to have a button the user can click on to make the map fullscreen.  This was no problem for the map, but when the user clicks on a pin, he cannot see the dialog unless he exits fullscreen mode.
This is presumably because the div that holds the dialog is outside the fullscreen div that holds the map.  I tried moving the div that holds the dialog inside the div that holds the map, but that doesn't work either; apparently, jQuery-UI moves the div to the end of the document.
Is there a practical way to make jQuery-UI Dialog play nice with HTML5 fullscreen?  I have seen other threads about this on other sites, but I haven't found a satisfactory answer.

A: By default the plugin appends your dialog <div> to the end of the body, which has the side effect of removing it from wherever you had placed it.
Using the appendTo option of .dialog you can override this behavior:
$( "#yourDialog" ).dialog({
    appendTo: "#parentElement"
});

Where "#parentElement" is your <div> that is being set fullscreen.

Experts in rating cases under the spotlight
The recent case of Gardiner & Theobald v Jackson (VO) [2018] UKUT 253 (LC) has substantial implications for many involved in rating. The case casts a spotlight on the role and duties of the expert in the tribunals with particular focus on success-related fees.
The president of the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) has warned expert witnesses that they could be referred to their professional bodies if they do not adhere to what are clear civil procedure rules.
Sir David Holgate said experts owed the same "duty of candour" to the court as solicitors, and, following the example set by the High Court, the Upper Tribunal would, if necessary, require them to provide written explanations for their behaviour.
He said if an expert fails to declare a conditional fee arrangement from the outset of his involvement in tribunal proceedings, there is "a clear risk" of the resources of other parties and the tribunal being wasted. Additionally he expressed concerns about independence, in that it gave the expert a "direct financial interest" in the outcome of the case, which could undermine their "independence and impartiality" which is required by the tribunal.
Sir David announced that the tribunal had decided to send a copy of its decision to the President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, so we can expect the RICS to restate to their members the "Rating Consultancy Code of Practice" along with the practice statement titled "Surveyors Acting as Expert Witnesses". The President of the Rating Surveyors Association has already taken action in this regard.
Sir David warned that the tribunal could "consider what further action should be taken" where an expert may have abused the tribunal's procedures through a serious failure to comply with the rules or related breach of a professional code of conduct. He emphasised that "This tribunal relies heavily on the independence, diligence, expertise and skill of the wide range of experts who appear before it" recognising that "The great majority of these experts discharge their obligations to the tribunal impeccably". He concluded by saying that any notion that the inclusion of a signed declaration by the expert in his report is a mere formality needs to be "completely dispelled."
I agree. It looks as though surveyors will be placed in the same position as solicitors who, in rating cases, were allowed a success-related fee before a VT; but the moment a notice of appeal was served, the whole fee basis changed, retrospectively so that the excess of the VT fee over the fee-earner's hourly rate had either to be returned to the client, or transferred by the solicitor to his client account, and the client told that the money was being held on general account of, and would be applied to, the costs of that appeal

UK Focuses on Safety of Navigation

International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s rules and regulations for suppressing unlawful acts against the safety of navigation can be seen in the wider context of the global fight against terrorism.
The United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (UNCTED) carries out assessment visits to countries to assess their compliance with various international security instruments and UN Security Council resolutions.
IMO took part in a follow-up visit to the United Kingdom (7-11 October) together with experts from Interpol, the World Customs Organization and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, particularly to assess the country's implementation of the special maritime security measures in IMO's SOLAS chapter XI-2, the ISPS Code, as well as the SUA Convention and Protocols.
Topics covered included movement of goods and persons, law enforcement, legal and criminal justice matters, countering the financing of terrorism, and countering violent extremism.
The UNCTED assessment visits are carried out on behalf of the UNSC Counter-Terrorism Committee.
The visits allow the Committee to monitor, promote and facilitate Member States' implementation of relevant Security Council resolutions and international counter-terrorism instruments.
This is done through information sharing on good practices and existing initiatives, and, where necessary, by facilitating technical assistance to enhance counter-terrorism capacity in UN Member States.

Citizens Services Minister Lisa Beare speaks in the B.C. legislature, June 2021. (Hansard TV)
B.C.'s $25 information access fee 'modest,' to speed up service
Frequent filers slowing public access, Minister Lisa Beare says
The B.C. NDP government's proposed $25 fee for filing non-personal freedom of information requests is aimed at speeding up service, and it's not an obstacle for the vast majority of people who file five or fewer requests in a year, Citizens Services Minister Lisa Beare says.
Beare and Premier John Horgan have been criticized for introducing the fee in an overhaul of B.C. privacy law, with Information and Privacy Commissioner Michael McEvoy calling the up-front fee charged by the government and its agencies for non-personal information "a troubling proposal."
Beare introduced amendments to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act Oct. 18, emphasizing that no fee will apply to individuals applying for their personal information. The proposed $25 filing fee for media organizations and others making FOI requests is "modest" and "in line with other jurisdictions and it will not be a barrier," since 98 per cent of applicants put in five or fewer requests in a year, Beare told reporters at the B.C. legislature.
The system has struggled to meet deadlines on information requests for years, but Beare says performance is improving, with 86 per cent of responses given by deadlines in 2020 and 81 per cent so far this year. She said the changes are supported by universities and regional health authorities, which have been dealing with high demand for COVID-19 information requests.

The ministry says it now processes more than 10,000 FOI requests annually, with the volume of requests increasing by more than 40 per cent over a two-year period, reaching an all-time high of more than 13,000 requests in 2019-20 (13,055).
Beare highlighted the most prolific sources of FOI requests, starting with the B.C. Liberal opposition, which made 4,772 applications in 2020-21. That averages 13 requests a day and the government estimates it cost $14.3 million to deal with them. One media applicant, Vancouver blogger Bob Mackin, made 397 applications in the same year, more than all other media combined, with an estimated processing cost of $1.2 million.
The amendments also remove a requirement to store B.C. information within the province. Beare said no other jurisdiction has that restriction, which prevents use of cloud-based services, and security requirements for contractors will protect privacy. McEvoy called the legislation "a blank cheque" for the government to use information storage outside of Canada.
Beare said moving from a dedicated data centre in Kamloops to a cloud-based system will require administrative as well as contract controls to protect data.
"We are going to be in a hybrid model for a long time," she said.

Charles went over to the window and looked down at the gray waters squeezed in between the canal's stone walls. In the distance, the dark mass of the belfry, its proud bells gone, could be seen.
"I'll never see the Americas!" he said.
"You'll see them through my eyes. You know you can trust me."
"Later," he said. It was not an order; it was a plea. He must have been in great distress to speak to me in that supplicating tone. With firmness now, he said, "I need you here."
I lowered my head. I wanted to see the Americas then and I wondered if I would still want to later. It was then that I should have left.
I waited ten years. Everything constantly changed and yet everything remained the same. In Germany Lutheranism was gaining steadily, the Turks were once more threatening Christianity, and the Mediterranean again became infested with pirates from whom we unsuccessfully attempted to take Algiers. There had been another war with France which resulted in the treat of Crépry-en-valois, whereby the emperor gave up all claims in Burgundy, and François I renounced his rights to Naples, Artois and Flanders. After twenty-seven years of fighting, which had drained the strength of both France and the Empire, the two adversaries found themselves face to face with not the slightest change in their respective positions. Charles was happy to hear that Pope Paul II had convoked a Holy Council at Trent, but the Lutheran princes, immediately upon learning of the Pope's plans, set off a civil war. Despite the torturous pains the gout was inflicting upon him, Charles personally took command and acquitted himself heroically, wreaking havoc upon the enemies' forces. But the emperor's governor in Milan committed the blunder of occupying Piacenza, and the Pope, furious, began negotiations with Henri II, the new king of France. As a result, the Council was moved from Trent to Bologna. At Augsburg, Charles was forced to accept a compromise which satisfied neither Catholics nor Protestants. Both sides obstinately rejected the project for which we had ceaselessly struggled ever since Charles became emperor, that of a German constitution.
"I should never have signed that compromise," Charles said. He was slumped in a large, deep armchair, his gouty leg resting upon a footstool. It was thus that he passed his days when events did not compel him to mount a horse.
"There was nothing else you could do," I said.
He shrugged his shoulders. "I've heard that too often."
"You've heard it because it happens to be true."
The only solution... we have no choice... nothing else you could do... Through the years, the centuries, the mechanism slowly unwound itself. Only a fool could believe that the will of a single human being was able to change its movement. What did our great plans matter?
"I should have refused," he said. "No matter at what price."
"It would have meant war and you would have been defeated."
He passed his hand across his brow; the gesture had become habitual. He seemed to be asking himself, "Why not be defeated?" And perhaps he was right. In spite of everything, there were men whose desires had left their marks on earth —Luther, Cortez ... Was it because they had accepted the idea of being defeated? As for us, we had chosen victory. And now we were asking ourselves, "What victory?"
"Philippe will never be emperor," Charles said after a brief silence.
He had known it for a long time. Ferdinand's ambition to bequeath an empire to his own son was too fresh, too strong. But never before had Charles openly admitted this defeat even to me.

James Caleb "Cale" Boggs (* 15. Mai 1909 in Cheswold, Delaware; † 26. März 1993 in Wilmington, Delaware) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker und von 1953 bis 1960 Gouverneur des Bundesstaates Delaware. Außerdem vertrat er seinen Staat in beiden Kammern des US-Kongresses.

Frühe Jahre
Cale Boggs besuchte die öffentlichen Schulen seiner Heimat. Bis 1931 studierte er dann an der University of Delaware. Nach einem anschließenden Jurastudium an der Georgetown University in Washington wurde er im Jahr 1938 als Rechtsanwalt zugelassen. Danach arbeitete er in Dover in seinem neuen Beruf. Boggs erhielt außerdem das Recht, sowohl vor dem Obersten Gerichtshof von Delaware als auch vor dem Obersten Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten Prozesse zu führen. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs war er als Colonel auf dem europäischen Kriegsschauplatz eingesetzt, wo er zeitweise unter dem Kommando von General George S. Patton stand. Nach seiner Rückkehr in die Vereinigten Staaten war er 1946 beisitzender Richter an einem Familiengericht im New Castle County.

Politische Laufbahn

Kongressabgeordneter
James Boggs war Mitglied der Republikanischen Partei. Im Jahr 1946 wurde er als Kandidat seiner Partei gegen den Demokratischen Amtsinhaber Philip A. Traynor mit 56 % der Wählerstimmen in das US-Repräsentantenhaus gewählt. In den Jahren 1948 und 1950 wurde er jeweils in diesem Amt bestätigt. Damit vertrat er zwischen dem 3. Januar 1947 und dem 3. Januar 1953 die Interessen seines Staates im Kongress.

Gouverneur
Bei den Gouverneurswahlen des Jahres 1952 gelang es Boggs, den Amtsinhaber Elbert N. Carvel zu schlagen. Nach einer Wiederwahl im Jahr 1956 konnte er fast zwei komplette Amtszeiten als Gouverneur absolvieren. In seiner fast achtjährigen Amtszeit wurden einige Regierungsabteilungen neu strukturiert. Boggs unterstützte auch die Idee, den Kommunen mehr Kompetenzen einzuräumen.  Außerdem wurden damals einige Schuldistrikte zusammengelegt. Ein heißes Thema in seiner Regierungszeit war die Eingliederung der afroamerikanischen Kinder in reguläre Schulen zusammen mit den weißen Schülern (Desegregation).

US-Senator
Im November 1960 wurde Cale Boggs gegen den Amtsinhaber Joseph Allen Frear als Class-3-Senator in den US-Senat gewählt. Aus diesem Grund trat er am 30. Dezember 1960, zwei Wochen vor Ablauf der regulären Amtszeit, als Gouverneur zurück. Boggs trat sein neues Mandat im Kongress am 3. Januar 1961 an und konnte nach einer Wiederwahl im Jahr 1966 bis zum 3. Januar 1973 sein Amt ausüben. Bei den Kongresswahlen des Jahres 1972 unterlag er gegen Joe Biden, dem späteren Vizepräsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten von 2009 bis 2017 und 46. US-Präsidenten seit Januar 2021.

Weiterer Lebenslauf
Nach dem Ende seiner Zeit im Kongress wurde Boggs als Rechtsanwalt in Wilmington tätig. Er starb im März 1993. Mit seiner Frau Elizabeth Muir hatte er zwei Kinder.

\section{Introduction}
Quantum communication channels in the presence of correlations among
subsequent uses have attracted much attention recently.  Correlated
qubit channels were originally investigated in the context of
classical information transmission, showing that for certain ranges of
the correlation strengths the generation of entanglement among
subsequent uses is beneficial to enhance the amount of transmitted
information \cite{memory}.  New interesting features then emerged in
the study of quantum memory (or correlated) channels by modeling of
relevant physical examples, including depolarizing
channels~\cite{MMM}, Pauli channels~\cite{mpv04,daems,dc}, dephasing
channels~\cite{hamada,dbf,ps,gabriela,lidar}, amplitude damping
channels \cite{vsdamp}, Gaussian channels~\cite{cerf},
lossy bosonic channels~\cite{mancini,lupo}, spin chains~\cite{spins},
collision models~\cite{collision}, and a micromaser
model~\cite{micromaser} (for a recent review on quantum channels with
memory effects see Ref.~\cite{memo_review}).

Quantum channels can be characterised completely by means of quantum
process tomography~\cite{chuang}, a well established technique that
requires a number of measurement settings (in an entanglement-based
scenario, or otherwise a number of measurement settings times number
of state preparations in a single system scenario) that scales as
$d^4$, where $d$ is the arbitrary finite dimension of the quantum
system which is sent through the communication
channel~\cite{lobino,sudafrica,quantum}.

Less expensive procedures, with a number of measurement settings
scaling as $d^2$, have been recently proposed to detect specific
properties of a quantum channel that do not need a complete
characterisation, such as for example its entanglement breaking
property \cite{mapdet} or its non-Markovian character \cite{noma-wit}.
A central feature to quantify the channel ability to convey
information is the channel capacity. Efficient procedures have been
recently proposed to detect lower bounds to the capacity of an unknown
quantum communication channel that avoid quantum process tomography,
in particular for the quantum capacity \cite{qcap-det} and the
classical capacity \cite{ms19}. The performance of the procedure
proposed in Ref. \cite{qcap-det} was demonstrated experimentally for
single qubit channels in \cite{exp}.

In the present paper we demonstrate experimentally that channel capacity witnesses can capture correlations among multiple quantum communication channels.
The procedure originally proposed in Ref. \cite{qcap-det} efficiently detects
lower bounds to the quantum capacity of correlated two-qubit channels, which we
compare with the theoretical values reported in Ref. \cite{qcap-corr}. The two-qubit correlated channels are
implemented by acting with liquid crystals affecting the polarisation of two photons. The correlation level is set by controlling the relative operation conditions of the two liquid crystals. The witnessing procedure, that works
for unknown channels, is demonstrated without the need of generating
entangled states.
\section{Capacity witness}
We briefly review the general method introduced in
Ref. \cite{qcap-det} to experimentally achieve lower bounds to the
quantum capacity of noisy channels by few local measurements. This technique has been introduced in order to reduce the experimental requirements on channel characterization. It is part of an ongoing effort to make state \cite{entwitness1, entwitness2,entwitness3, entwitness4, entwitness5, coherence1, coherence2, coherence3, nonclassicality1, nonclassicality2, compressed_tomo} and process \cite{prl_luise, Teo_tomography, cho_tomo} reconstruction more efficient. In addition, calculating the channel capacity demands assessing infinite uses of the channel, a task which can not always be carried out analytically. This also motivates the search of more practical bounds on the capacity.

The method can adopt a fixed maximally bipartite entangled state of two
copies of the system, where just one copy enters the quantum channel
and suitable separable measurements are jointly performed on the
output copy and the second untouched reference copy. Equivalently, the
method can also be carried out by suitable preparation of different
ensembles of a single copy at the input of the channel, with
corresponding output measurements. Since in the present experimental
implementation the second option is followed, we will specifically
focus on this second scenario. We observe that in both strategies the number of measurements is less than the one for the process tomography of the channel~\cite{processresources}, albeit the separable-state case requires more measurements. On the other hand, this alleviates the difficulty of generating multiple entangled pairs at once.

Let us denote the action of a generic memoryless quantum channel on a
single system as ${\cal E}$. The quantum
capacity $Q$ is measured in qubits per channel use and is defined as
\cite{lloyd,barnum,devetak} $Q=\lim _{N\to \infty}\frac {Q_N}{N}$,
where $Q_N = \max _{\rho } I_c (\rho , {\cal E}^{\otimes  N})$, and $I_c(\rho ,
{\cal E})$ denotes the coherent information \cite{schumachernielsen}
\begin{eqnarray} I_c(\rho , {\cal E}) = S[{\cal E} (\rho )] - S_e
(\rho, {\cal E})\;.\label{ic} \end{eqnarray}
In Eq. (\ref{ic}),
$S(\rho )=-\text{Tr} [\rho \log _2 \rho ]$ is the von Neumann entropy and
$S_e (\rho, {\cal E})$ represents the entropy exchange \cite{schumacher}, i.e.
$S_e (\rho, {\cal E})= S[({\cal I}_R \otimes {\cal
  E})(|\Psi _\rho \rangle \langle \Psi _\rho |)] $,
where $|\Psi _\rho \rangle $ is any purification of $\rho $ by means of a
reference quantum system $R$, namely
$\rho =\text{Tr} _R [|\Psi _\rho \rangle \langle \Psi _\rho|]$.

We recall that for any complete set of orthogonal projectors
$\{\Pi _i\}$ one has \cite{NC00} $S(\rho )\leq S(\sum _i \Pi _i \rho
\Pi _i)$. It follows that from any orthonormal basis $\{ |\Phi _i
\rangle \}$ for the tensor product of the reference and the system
Hilbert spaces one obtains the following bound to the entropy exchange
\begin{eqnarray}
S_e\left (\rho , {\cal E} \right )\leq H (\vec p)\;,
\label{se-bound}
\end{eqnarray}
where $H(\vec p)$ denotes the Shannon entropy $H(\vec p)=-\sum _{i}
p_i \log _2 p_i$ for the vector of
probabilities $\{p_i\}$,  with
\begin{eqnarray}
p_i = \text{Tr} [( {\cal I}_R \otimes {\cal E} ) (|\Psi _\rho \rangle
  \langle \Psi _\rho |) |\Phi _i \rangle\langle\Phi _i|] \;.
\label{pimeas}
\end{eqnarray}
Therefore, from Eq. (\ref{se-bound}) it follows that for any $\rho$ and $\vec p$ one has
the chain of bounds
\begin{eqnarray}
Q \geq Q_1 \geq I_c(\rho , {\cal E})\geq S\left [{\cal E} (\rho )\right ]-H(\vec p)
\equiv Q_{DET}
\;.\label{qvec}
\end{eqnarray}
A capacity witness $Q_{DET}$ for the quantum capacity $Q$ can then be
accessed without requiring full process tomography of the quantum
channel as long as the entropy of the output state of the system and a set of probabilities
$\{p_i\}$ as in Eq. (\ref{pimeas}) are experimentally measured.

The experimental measurement of $Q_{DET}$ can then be performed, based
on a maximally entangled state as the input~\cite{exp}. We consider a
complete set of observables $\{X_i \}$ for the space of system
operators, and the maximally entangled state
$\ket{\phi^+}=\frac{1}{\sqrt d}\sum_{k=0}^{d-1}\ket{k}\ket{k}$, with
respect to the bipartite space $\mathcal{H}_R \otimes \mathcal{H}$,
with $d=\mbox{dim}(\mathcal{H})=\mbox{dim}(\mathcal{H}_R)$.  By
comparison with Eq. (\ref{pimeas}), with the identification $|\Psi
_\rho \rangle = |\phi ^+ \rangle $ (i.e. $\rho = I /d$), the
input/output correlations allow to reconstruct probability vectors
$\vec p$ for all possible inequivalent bipartite orthonormal bases $\{
|\Phi _i \rangle \}$ that can be spanned by the set of measured
observables $\{
X_i ^\tau \otimes X_i \}$, where $\tau $ denotes the transposition
operation. The detection method is then supplemented by classical
optimization over all such possible bases. Moreover, the measurement
setting with observables $\{ X_i\}$ clearly allows to reconstruct
${\cal E}(I/d)$, and then to evaluate the entropy contribution
$S[{\cal E}(I/d)]$.

Alternatively, one can devise a detection method that does not require
initial entanglement,  and thus an additional reference system. Indeed,
one can easily verify the identity \cite{bellob}
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\langle X_i ^\tau  \otimes X_i \rangle \equiv
\text{Tr} [( {\cal I}_R \otimes {\cal E} )(|\phi ^+ \rangle \langle \phi ^+ |)
  ( X_i^\tau  \otimes X_i )]\nonumber \\& &
=\frac 1 d
\text{Tr}[X_i {\cal E}(X_i)]\;,
\label{eq:bellob}
\end{eqnarray}
Then, the expectation values $\langle X_i ^\tau \otimes X_i \rangle $
can be reconstructed by preparing the system in the eigenstates of
$X_i$, and measuring $X_i$ at the output of the channel, without need
of using entangled input states. These still give access to the
probabilities $p_i$ in \eqref{pimeas} with a classical optimisation,
as described before.

In the case of single-qubit channels, a measurement setting based on
the customary Pauli operators $\{\sigma _X, \sigma _Y, \sigma _Z \}$
provides probability vectors pertaining to the following inequivalent
bases \cite{qcap-det}
\begin{eqnarray}
B_{1}
=&\{a|\Phi^{+}\rangle+b|\Phi^{-}\rangle,-b|\Phi^{+}\rangle+a|\Phi^{-}\rangle,\label{b1}\\
&c|\Psi^{+}\rangle+d|\Psi^{-}\rangle,-d|\Psi^{+}\rangle+c|\Psi^{-}\rangle\};\nonumber\\
B_{2}
=&\{a|\Phi^{+}\rangle+b|\Psi^{+}\rangle,-b|\Phi^{+}\rangle+a|\Psi^{+}\rangle,\label{b2}\\
&c|\Phi^{-}\rangle+d|\Psi^{-}\rangle,-d|\Phi^{-}\rangle+c|\Psi^{-}\rangle\};\nonumber\\
B_{3}
=&\{a|\Phi^{+}\rangle+ib|\Psi^{-}\rangle,ib|\Phi^{+}\rangle+a|\Psi^{-}\rangle,\label{b3}\\
&c|\Phi^{-}\rangle+id|\Psi^{+}\rangle,id|\Phi^{-}\rangle+c|\Psi^{+}\rangle\};\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
where $| \Phi ^\pm \rangle ={1}/{\sqrt 2}(|00 \rangle \pm |11 \rangle
)$ and $|\Psi ^\pm \rangle ={1}/{\sqrt 2}(|01 \rangle \pm |10 \rangle
)$ denote the Bell states, and $a,b,c,d$ are real numbers such that
$a^2+b^2=c^2+d^2=1$.  After collecting the measurement outcomes, the
capacity witness $Q_{DET}$ is then maximized over the three bases
$B_1,B_2,B_3$, and by varying the independent parameters $b$ and $d$,
namely
\begin{eqnarray}
Q_{DET}&=&\max _{j=1,2,3}\max _{b,d}Q_{DET}(B_j,b,d) \nonumber \\
&=&S[\mathcal{E}(I/2)]-\min _{j=1,2,3}\min _{b,d}
H[\vec{p}(B_j,b,d)]\;,
\end{eqnarray}
where for each $j$, the $i$-th component of the four-dimensional
probability vector $\vec p (B_j,b,d)$ corresponds to
Eq. (\ref{pimeas}), where $|\Phi _i \rangle $ is one of the four
states in the basis $B_j$. As detailed above, the input entangled
state can be replaced with the set of eigenvectors of
$\sigma_X,\sigma_Y$ and $\sigma_Z$, leading to an equivalent
reconstruction.

For a two-qubit channel, as in the present experimental
implementation, the set of observables is chosen as $\{ \sigma _i
\otimes \sigma _j \}$, with $i,j=X,Y,Z$. The input/output correlation
allows to obtain probability vectors $\vec p(B_j,b_j,d_j;B_l,b_l,d_l)$
with $16$ elements, corresponding to the bases obtained by the tensor
product of $B_j$ and $B_l$. The optimization of the capacity witness
is then obtained by maximisation over 9 bases, each of them
continuously parametrized by 4 independent real variables.
\section{Experiment}
In our experiment, we consider a correlated two-qubit unital channel,
where a Pauli $X$ operation acts on each qubit with a certain
probability $p$, jointly or separately thus defining a degree of
correlation $\mu$. More specifically, the Kraus decomposition of the
channel takes the form
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:canale}
    \mathcal{E}_2(\rho) = \sum_{i_1,i_2=0,X} A_{i_1,i_2}\sigma_{i1}\otimes\sigma_{i2}\rho \sigma_{i1}\otimes\sigma_{i2},
\end{equation}
where $\sigma_0$ is the identity and all coefficients of the Pauli
operations other than $A_{0,0}$, $A_{0,X}$, $A_{X,0}$, $A_{X,X}$
vanish. In the above form we have $A_{0,X}=A_{X,0}$, and we can
express the action of the channel in terms of the two parameters
\begin{equation}
    p=1-A_{0,0}-A_{X,0},
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
\mu=1-\frac{A_{X,0}}{p(1-p)}.
\end{equation}
The above two-qubit channel is unitarily equivalent to a correlated
dephasing channel and the quantum capacity is known to be \cite{dbf,ps}
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
\label{qcapvera}
    Q&=2-pH_2[(1-p)(1-\mu)]\\
     &-(1-p)H_2[p(1-\mu)]-H_2(p),
    \end{aligned}
\end{equation}
where $H_2(p)$ denotes the binary Shannon entropy. For this case, the
capacity witness $Q_{DET}$ is expected to provide a strict bound to
the actual capacity~\cite{qcap-corr}.

Notice that the channel acts locally on each single qubit, up to a
unitary operation, as a dephasing operation $\mathcal{E}_1(\rho_1)=p
\rho_1+(1-p)\sigma_X\rho_1\sigma_X$, independently of the value of
$\mu$.  If the two single-qubit channels are independent, their
combined capacity could simply be found by setting $\mu=0$
in~\eqref{qcapvera}; also in this case, the detectable bound on the
capacity is tight.
\begin{figure}[htb]
    \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{fig1.png}
    \caption{{\it The experiment.} a. The setup adopts a nonlinear
      crystal to generate two-photon states. These are then prepared
      in the quorum of polarisation states for the capacity witness by
      means of a polarising beam splitter (PBS), a quarter-wave plate
      (QWP), and a half-wave plate (HWP). The channel
      \eqref{eq:canale} is implemented by a pair of liquid crystal
      (LC) elements subject to time-varying voltage levels $V_0$ and
      $V_X$. Polarisation measurements are carried out by a sequence
      of QWP-HWP-PBS and single-photon detection. Coincidence
      measurements are then performed. b. Voltage sequences applied on
      the two channels for $p=1/2$, in the perfectly correlated
      $\mu=1$ (left) and uncorrelated $\mu=0$ (right) cases. }
    \label{fig:setup}
\end{figure}
\par The channels' effect on the photon statistics is simulated using mixtures of operations on the polarisation of single photons. This is for our purposes equivalent to test the witnessing method after a direct implementation of the channel. Photon pairs are produced by parametric down
conversion source (CW-pumped at $\lambda_p=405$nm, degenerate type-I
emission at $\lambda=2\lambda_p=810$nm with 7.5nm-bandwidth filters, see Fig.
\ref{fig:setup}a). The active elements are liquid crystal plates,
whose birefringence can be varied by applying a voltage. We thus set
two different levels for the voltage, namely $V_0$, corresponding to
the identity, and $V_X$, corresponding to the Pauli-X, for different
times $t_0$ and $t_X$, respectively thus defining $p$.

The key to introducing correlations between the two channels is the control of the relative timings of the LCs. Consider, for instance, the case for $p=1/2$: during the total counting time $T_c=8$s, on each channel the LCs remain, overall, at $V_X$ for $t_X=4$s and at $V_0$ for $t_0=4$s. In the first arm, we simply switch between the two voltage levels halfway during the measurement (Fig. \ref{fig:setup}b). The two channels will be maximally correlated, $\mu=1$, if we change settings of the LC in the second arm at exactly the same time (Fig. \ref{fig:setup}b); on the opposite extreme, the channels act independently, $\mu=0$ if the four possible settings $(V_X,V_X)$, $(V_X,V_0)$, $(V_0,V_X)$, and $(V_0,V_0)$ all occur for same duration (Fig. \ref{fig:setup}b). We can access intermediate values of $\mu$ by anticipating the switching time from $V_0$ to $V_X$ in channel two, ensuring it is switched back again to maintain an equal amount of time for both settings; this also guarantees that $A_{0,X}=A_{X,0}$. The same reasoning can be applied to other values of $p$ and $\mu$, following the prescriptions detailed in Table 1 in the Appendix. Our implementation of the channels is a simple one, and has the advantage of providing good control of the level of correlations. However, we can rely on such realization for our goal of testing the channel capacity witness.

In order to avoid recurring to four-qubits entangled states, the
capacity witness has been measured by using the separable-input
strategy described in the previous section. In our scheme, we encode
the eigenvalues of $\sigma_Z$ as the horizontal $\vert H \rangle$ and
vertical $\vert V \rangle$ polarisations; the eigenvalues of
$\sigma_X$ as $\vert D \rangle =(\vert H \rangle + \vert V \rangle
)/\sqrt{2}$, and $\vert A \rangle =(\vert H \rangle + \vert V \rangle
)/\sqrt{2}$; the eigenvalues of $\sigma_Y$ as $\vert L \rangle =(\vert
H \rangle +i \vert V \rangle )/\sqrt{2}$, and $\vert R \rangle =(\vert
H \rangle -i \vert V \rangle )/\sqrt{2}$. All these states can be
prepared and measured by a suitable combination of half- and
quarter-wave plates~\cite{tomography}. All relevant probabilities are
then evaluated based on coincidence count rates; no correction for
accidental events and  dark counts has been implemented.

When estimating the probabilities in \eqref{pimeas}, experimental
imperfections may lead to small negative values. These are well known
artifacts that may occur also in quantum
tomography~\cite{tomography}. When these are used in the expression of
the entropy, they lead to imaginary values; we found that just considering
the real part provides a sufficient regularisation.

We use the single-qubit and two-qubit witness for the
combined capacity of the two channels $Q_{\rm tot}$, as well as the
capacities of the individual channels $Q_1$ and $Q_2$. As these bounds
are known to be tight, we can adopt $Q_{\rm lim}{=}Q_1+Q_2$ as the
capacity for the independent use of the channels, namely without
exploiting the presence of correlations.
Therefore, as far as the channel is modelled by Eq. (\ref{eq:canale}), we can assess whether the channels present correlations based on the experimental data. Without any assumption on the form of the channel, the experimental data can only show that the joint use of the channels (whatever they are) provides better bounds to the quantum capacity.
\begin{figure}[htb]
    \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{fig2_new.png}
    \caption{{\it Experimental bounds on the quantum capacity.} In all
      panels, the blue columns represent the experimental values of
      $Q_{\rm tot}$, to be compared to the green columns indicating
      the limit $Q_{\rm lim}$ for an independent use of the channels,
      when ignoring correlations. The cyan edges are the
      theoretical predictions for the ideal channel \eqref{eq:canale}
      given by Eq. \eqref{qcapvera}. Errors are of the order of 0.005,
      and hence are not visible on this scale.}
    \label{fig:eskimo}
\end{figure}
\par Our experimental results are
depicted in Fig. \ref{fig:eskimo} for the different values of $p$ and
$\mu$ considered in our experiment. Whenever the experimental
imperfections force a negative lower bound to the capacity, this is
replaced with zero. Some discrepancies with respect to the theoretical
expectations can be appreciated, mostly due to the fact that the LCs
do not implement the operations $\sigma_0$ and $\sigma_X$
exactly. Appendix 1 reports more experimental details. A direct comparison between theoretical and experimental bounds for $Q_{tot}$ shows that one can not be used as a limit for the other.
\section{Discussion}
As we can see from the results reported in Fig. \ref{fig:eskimo}, the
green columns refer to the witness for the total quantum capacity of
the local channels, that corresponds to the theoretical values
reported in Eq. (\ref{qcapvera}) for $\mu=0$. It is clear from the
theoretical expression that for fixed value of $p$ the capacity of the
correlated channel is lower bounded by the value of the total capacity
of the local channels, and in particular it is an increasing function
of $\mu$ at fixed $p$.  If the channel that we are observing is
guaranteed to be of the form (\ref{eq:canale}), the detection of a
capacity larger than the corresponding theoretical value for $\mu=0$
signals the presence of correlations in the channel. This
behaviour can be qualitatively identified also in the results reported
in Fig. \ref{fig:eskimo}, where it is apparent that the blue columns
get closer to the green ones for decreasing values of $\mu$. We want
to stress, however, that the detection method that we implemented
works for any form of channel. In realistic experimental scenarios, a noisy channel will present deviations from its expected model, and in the extreme case the noise could even be completely unknown. Predictions based on a model can give useful indications but would fail at giving a reliable knowledge. On the contrary, the presented method certifies a lower bound to the quantum channel capacity by means of the only experimental data. The major advantage of our method is that it does not need a complete experimental reconstruction of the channel. In fact, this would require full process tomography and would then be much more demanding in terms of measurements required.

Stepbrother charged after man shot in face
EASLEY — An Easley man is behind bars after turning himself into authorities on Sunday after his stepbrother was shot in the face on Friday.
Derrick Jeremiah Goode, 42, of 123 21st Street in Easley, had been at large since the incident and sought by police in the shooting, authorities with the Pickens County Sheriff's Office said.
Police say they believe a verbal dispute between two family members resulted in a single gunshot wound to the face of an adult male also living at the home at the Silverlake Mobile Home Park.
Deputies say they were called to the Baptist Easley emergency room in reference to a shooting. When they arrived they spoke to the victim, who told officers that he was holding his brother's gun and it went off, striking him in the lower jaw. When officers went to the waiting room, a witness at the scene told deputies that the victim was covering for his stepbrother.
After taking a written voluntary statement from the witness, deputies obtained warrants for the arrest of Goode for attempted murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
Pickens County Chief Deputy Creed Hashe told the Courier that no bond had not been set, and Goode is being held at the Pickens County detention center.

In Haiti and its neighboring Dominican Republic, floods and landslides have been reported along with the destruction of houses and buildings; there has been a number of casualties in both countries. The hurricane is expected to take its course to the north and is estimated to reach the Southeastern U.S. In the states such as Florida and South Carolina, some of the residents have already started fleeing their homes.
In the past, AMDA has conducted extensive emergency relief for the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti in January 2010. It was said to be one of the worst disasters that left more than 220,000 deaths and 1/3 of the population displaced. AMDA deployed AMDA Multi National Medical Mission comprising medical personnel from eight countries (17 doctors, 8 nurses, 9 coordinators and 2 prosthetist) which provided medical assistance and relief supplies. In the later phase, AMDA also focused on providing prosthetic limbs for those who lost their arms and legs as well as medical services for the cholera epidemic.
AMDA Headquarters is currently in contact with AMDA Haiti, its local chapter, to assess the extent of damage and the arising local needs to deliver timely and effective assistance. The said AMDA coordinator is schedule to arrive in Port-au-Prince, the capital, in the morning of October 9th.

31) What would be a simple way to continuously monitor the log file for a service that is running?
where $LOGFILE is an environment variable corresponding to the path to the log file to be monitored.
By default, the Linux tail command prints the last 10 lines of a given file to standard output. The -F option causes additional file content to be displayed in real time as the file continues to grow. This yields a simple mechanism for monitoring services via their log files in close to real time.
The -s option causes tail to sleep for a specified number of seconds between updates (e.g., 'tail -F -s 10' will update the displayed file contents roughly every 10 seconds rather than in close to real time as the file is updated).
The -n option can be used to specify a number of lines other than 10 to initially display (e.g., 'tail -n 20 -F' will first display the last 20 lines of the file and will then continue updating the output in realtime).
32) How do you insert a new line or text after every n lines in Unix?
Let us consider a file. The requirement is to insert a line with text "UNIX" after every 2 lines. Below awk script can insert string "UNIX" in a file for each 2 lines.
33) How to remove the Control-M character from a file in Unix?
34) How to print tomorrow's date in Unix?
$ date -d "1 day"
35) How will you find which operating system your system is running on in Unix?
36) How will you run a process in background? How will you bring that into foreground and how will you kill that process?
For running a process in background use "&" in command line.
For bringing it back in foreground use command "fg jobid" and for getting job id you use command "ps", for killing that process find PID and use 'kill -9 PID' command.
37) How do you copy file from one host to other?
We have many options to transfer files from one host to another host, you can say by using "scp" command. You can also use rsync command to answer this or even sftp would be okay.
38) How do you check how much space left in current drive?
By using "df" command in Unix. For example "df -h ." will list how full your current drive is.
39) Write a command to display the first 5 characters from each line of a file?
40) What is the significance of '$?' ?
$? gives the exit status of the last command that was executed.
0 (Zero) – means command returns successful.
Non Zero – means command returns unsuccessful.


Artist Management. By The Hour.
#ReTweet4Pete: Pete Seeger Memorial in D.C.
Steve Keene is a Brooklyn-based multi-media artist who has uniquely showcased his work internationally. His focus series include hand painted multiples, wood sculpture and Tattooed Plywood. Though Keene earned his Masters of Fine Arts from Yale, his sensibilities lie somewhere between environmental architect, poster designer, woodworker and classical painter.
His work ethic may be second to none. With an estimated 300,000 pieces in public and private collections, Keene's hand painted multiples editions make him one of the most prolific artists ever. Taking a cue from screen printing and woodworking, he is well-known among independent music fans for creating original album artwork, video sets, stage sets and posters for such musical luminaries as Silver Jews, Pavement, The Apples in stereo, Soul Coughing, The Klezmatics and The Dave Matthews Band, amongst others.
Keene likes to think of his work as an endless painting with no boundaries – one that becomes an environment for people to participate. Watching him work on hand painted multiples is mysterious and engaging – the colors and strokes build over time in a rhythmic pattern and the form emerges much like a building takes shape as the bricks are laid. People watch, wait and ultimately walk away with an actual piece of his ongoing endless painting right in their hands.
SK's most recent show "Modular Synthesis", at Shepard Fairy's Subliminal Projects in Los Angeles, showcased his iconic Album Art Tribute paintings, Los Angeles points of interest and his new Tattooed Plywood series.
In Summer 2014, Keene was the Artist In Residence for The Brooklyn Public Library, gaining recognition for his first official New York City show by performing his live painting exhibition on The Central Library Plaza, 3 days per week for over 3 months. This unique performance brought art to literally thousands of people over the course of his residency.
Keene has been covered on the pages and airwaves of National Public Radio, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, Spin, The Brooklyn Paper and Filter, amongst many others. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams named June 14, 2014 Steve Keene Day throughout the City of Brooklyn.

AmerisourceBergen Promotes Michael D. Dicandilo To Executive Vice President And Chief Financial Officer
AmerisourceBergen Corporation recently announced that its Board of Directors has elected Michael D. DiCandilo, 44, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective immediately. DiCandilo, who was previously senior vice president and chief financial officer of the Company, will continue to report to R. David Yost, AmerisourceBergen's Chief Executive Officer.
"Mike's election as executive vice president is recognition of his outstanding contributions to AmerisourceBergen, and the expectation that he will continue to play a significant leadership role in driving the Company's performance," said Yost.
Prior to being named senior vice president and chief financial officer of AmerisourceBergen in 2002, DiCandilo was appointed Vice President and Corporate Controller in 2001, shortly after the merger of AmeriSource Health and Bergen Brunswig.

In molecular biology, glycoside hydrolase family 97 is a family of glycoside hydrolases.

Glycoside hydrolases  are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycoside hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of >100 different families. This classification is available on the CAZy web site, and also discussed at CAZypedia, an online encyclopedia of carbohydrate active enzymes.

Glycoside hydrolase family 97 (GH97) is a bacterial family. The central part of the GH97 family protein sequences represents a typical and complete (beta/alpha)8-barrel or catalytic TIM-barrel type domain. The N- and C-terminal parts of the sequences, mainly consisting of beta-strands, most probably form two additional non-catalytic domains with as yet unknown functions. The non-catalytic domains of glycosidases from the alpha-galactosidase and alpha-glucosidase superfamilies are also predominantly composed of beta-strands, and at least some of these domains are involved in oligomerisation and carbohydrate binding. In all known glycosidases with the (beta-alpha)8-barrel fold, the amino acid residues at the active site are located on the C-termini of the beta-strands.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas State hired Chris Klieman of North Dakota State to lead its football program Monday night, passing the reins from retired Hall of Fame coach Bill Snyder to someone with three Football Championship Subdivision titles but little Big 12 experience.
Klieman was hired to lead the Bison by current Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor, and was seen as one of the front-runners for the Wildcats' job ever since Snyder announced his retirement.
Klieman is only the third coach to lead the Wildcats since 1988, when Snyder was hired off Hayden Fry's staff at Iowa. Snyder turned one of the worst programs in the history of major college football into a perennial contender during his first stint in Manhattan, then returned after a three-year retirement — during which the program slid under Ron Prince — to lead the Wildcats back atop the Big 12.
Klieman said he grew up going to Snyder's football camps in Waterloo, Iowa, and he played against his Wildcats while at Northern Iowa. He also was the defensive coordinator at North Dakota State when the Bison, then led by Craig Bohl, upset the Wildcats in Manhattan to open the 2013 season.
"He is a perfect fit for us, both from a personal standpoint and as a head coach," Taylor said. "He is a tremendous teacher who I had the pleasure to hire at NDSU and watched turn into a very successful coach. He will bring a ton of energy and excitement. His teams play extremely hard, disciplined football.

Neuromuscular Therapy in Washington D.C.
Neuromuscular therapy is a type of bodywork that reduces chronic pain and normalizes body posture by selectively loosening tight muscles and connective tissue. When posture is distorted, joints deteriorate prematurely, nerves become compressed, and circulation is impaired. Tissues are deprived of vital nutrients. Chronic pain often results.
The therapist develops an individualized strategy to restore the client's healthy posture and reduce pain. Overly tightened tissues are relaxed through the use of specifically applied manual therapy.
Neuromuscular therapy is effective for many soft tissue pain problems including back and neck pain, headaches including migraines, hip and shoulder pain, numbness and tingling in the arms or legs, and the soft tissue aspects of fibromyalgia syndrome.
It is also quite effective at improving dysfunctional posture patterns that, if uncorrected, can cause eventual degeneration of the joints. Neuromuscular therapy has also been clinically effective for a wide range of other related conditions.
Specific types of dysfunctions and repetitive motion and accumulative traumas that may result in sciatica, rotator cuff dysfunction, carpal tunnel and thoracic outlet syndrome, temporomandibular joint dysfunction and migraines.
Physical benefits of neuromuscular therapy include restoring muscle strength, increasing flexibility and relieving pain. If need to relief from pain caused by posture, biomechanics, and nerve entrapment, or trigger points, you may wish to try the neuromuscular therapy techniques at Eye Street Massage Therapy.
Trigger points are especially irritable places in muscle tissue that send pain to other areas of the body.

Q Would I also need to replace the air filter ? Asked by trevor On Sept. 28, 2018, 2:06 a.m.
A Hello Trevor, thank you for your question. It is recommended to replace the air filter when the lamp is replaced. However, we have had many years of success of cleaning the air filter in our projectors at least once a month and only replacing it when the filter has already been washed to many times and the filter cloth on the filter is starting to become damaged.

LoveReading View on Every Child A Song
August 2019 Book of the Month
Nicola Davies celebrates the forthcoming 30th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in this beautifully illustrated picture book. Using the metaphor of each child being a song, she explores some of the 54 rights it sets out, from the right to education, to freedom of thought and expression, to the rights of child refugees. Short, lyrical sentences of text will start discussion and conversation and Marc Martin's rich water-colour illustrations, whether of children, scenes or vegetation, add movement and drama. A book to inspire children to think about the world and their place within it.

Every Child A Song Synopsis
When you were born, a song began...
So begins this lyrical and unique non-fiction picture book by award-winning children's author Nicola Davies. With tenderness and heart, Nicola introduces young readers to the universal rights that every child is entitled to under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Using the metaphor of song, the book opens with the arrival of a newborn and its unique 'song', then pans out to explore all the essential things that every song needs to thrive - love, protection, a home, a name, the chance to explore and learn.
In the latter half of the book, the issues of child labour, exploitation and war are sensitively introduced to emphasise that we all must play our part in championing children's rights and offering support to those who need it most.
With deeply moving watercolour illustrations by award-winning artist Marc Martin, this is a book that encourages children and adults alike to speak up for young people all around the world, and to treat one another with compassion and kindness.

Please share your story about why you choose to work for Corwin, and why Corwin inspires you to do your best.
I came to Corwin with a passion for social justice and a sincere desire to sponsor authors and programs that work to increase the odds of success for all students -- including those who have been historically marginalized. I had been with my previous company for more than a decade and was on the fence about the making a move. I received a care package with five Corwin titles. At the top of the pile was Glenn Singleton's "Courageous Conversations about Race." Reading Glenn's book was my "tipping point." I concluded that any company that had the conviction to sponsor such courageous publications was the right home for me. I've since worked with Glenn on two subsequent book projects as well as other brave and talented champions for educational equity.
What is your proudest moment as a Corwin employee? Please share a story about a milestone or accomplishment by you as an individual or by Corwin as a company.
There are so many proud moments but one recent example was attending the 2014 National Association of Multicultural Education award ceremony where Gary Howard's "We Can't Lead Where We Won't Go" received the Philip C. Chinn Book of the Year Award. This book/video package is the cornerstone of a complete professional learning program which also includes Corwin-sponsored consulting and institutes. I'm passionate about this program, which was designed to enact system-wide, equity-focused reform and am especially proud to be a steward of Gary's work.
Do you have any other memories, stories, or general thoughts that you'd like to share?
Corwin is truly an extraordinary home -- for authors, consultants, change agents, artists, visionaries, and those of us who share a passion for helping children and creating a better world. I not only feel valued and honored as a professional, but am reassured to be part of an organization that truly embraces values that are consistent with my own. I'm so glad to have landed here!
I've always been impressed by how intelligent and passionate everyone at Corwin is. The wealth of knowledge that is necessary in order to work with our brilliant authors and dedicated customers is astounding. Everyone is focused on educating our children in the most successful way possible and it is reflected in how tirelessly everyone contributes to that goal.
Why are you at Corwin?
The vision, mission and values of Corwin strongly mirror my own, and the steadfast passion, energy and dedication to supporting educators are deeply rooted in every aspect of Corwin. I am here because I am continuously inspired, motivated and elevated by my colleagues, our clients and most importantly, the students we work for.
Why have you stayed with Corwin for so long?
I am celebrating five years with Corwin and I strongly believe I have found my "forever home" in a company. I am here because I truly care about the work we do and am honored each and every day to work with amazing colleagues and globally-recognized leading educators and researchers.
Why do you pull the long days?
Because it is worth it! Our clients – teachers, administrators and most importantly, our students – depend on us and need us. For me, there is no greater calling than knowing the work we are putting in today (regardless of how many hours) has a significant, profound and immediate impact into the lives of educators and students.
Why do you put in the extra effort?
We are blessed to have truly forward-thinking, compassionate and driven leaders at Corwin and they have a developed a culture that embraces hard work, dedication and determination while understanding a healthy balance of work, life, and family. I put in extra effort because I know our leaders expect it of us, and we want to deliver because we know we can! I want to not only meet our goals, but exceed them.
What is it about Corwin that drives you?
The colleagues I work with, the authors and practitioners who are in the trenches with our clients every day, and the students who will be the future leaders of tomorrow. Corwin has professionally and personally grown me in so many ways and the past five years have been nothing short of incredible. I can't wait to turn the page for the next chapter with Corwin!
The thing that resonates with me most about any company is its culture. Corporate culture is hard to quantify, but for me it is most evident when you review a company's vision through the mind frames of its current employees and leadership team. Every company has a vision, but it is the journey towards achieving that vision that creates a company's culture. I am a Corwin employee because the company culture that has been created here over the past twenty five years makes every day at work feel like I am coming home. Like any family, my Corwin colleagues have acted as mentors, allowed me to make decisions and take risks, provided a framework to grow and a support system to grow within, celebrated my successes, lamented my losses, shared knowledge, challenged me to push myself and my thinking, imparted life lessons about the importance of collaboration and collegiality, and were not afraid to tell me when I was wrong. When I started my Corwin career, I knew that I had stumbled upon something special; four years later I know that I actually stumbled upon something that is one of a kind. In many ways, I grew up at Corwin- this company has been the university of my unofficial MBA, MAT, and MAP- but what is most remarkable about the time that I have spent here are the relationships that I have built and the consistency of highly principled, highly skilled, and highly motivated Corwinites that exist at every level of the organization. I am honored to be a part Corwin because Corwin's vision is a vision that I am proud to aspire towards each and every day...and the coolest thing about it is, I know the rest of the company would say the same.

Patriots honored, dedication planned
By Staff Writer on September 11, 2013
Sept. 11 is known as Patriot Day in honor of the 2,977 people who were killed in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The American flag is supposed to be flown at half staff at American homes, the White House and at all U.S. government buildings and establishments at home and abroad. A local patriot and Marine who gave his life for his country while serving in Iraq will be honored at an upcoming dedication ceremony. The Pike County board of education and American Legion Post 197 will hold a dedication program Saturday, Sept. 28 at 10 a.m. The program will be held at the alternative school building. In case of bad weather, the program will be held in the gymnasium. Citizens and members of the school board and Post 197 will be dedicating a memorial to fallen hero Lance Corp. J.D. Walker and rededicating the alternative school building as the Pike County Memorial Annex Building. J.D. Walker was a resident of Pike County and graduated from Pike County High School. He joined the Marines and was serving his second tour of duty when he was killed in action in Iraq in 2007. The board of education has decided to provide the Pike County Memorial Annex Building to be used as a general monument for all those in Pike who give the ultimate sacrifice while serving the community. The intent is for the building to house memorials for all of the community's fallen heroes. The public is invited to attend this dedication as a hero is remembered and honored and Pike County receives a home for its memories.

Novosom Announces Collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim
News Jan 16, 2006
Novosom has announced collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG to validate liver and pulmonary therapeutic targets in vivo using siRNA. The collaboration will use Novosom's proprietary Smarticles® for in vivo siRNA delivery.
Target validation is an essential stage in the development of new drugs. In this regard, siRNA based approaches are now widely accepted within the industry.
However, until now this could only be accomplished using cell based in vitro assays. Novosom and Boehringer Ingelheim will be collaborating to achieve in vivo target validation using siRNA in animals.
It is anticipated that there will be significant advantages to validating targets in such an in vivo approach. Target validation in vivo is considered to be an essential step forward in the development of therapeutics.
Steffen Panzner, CEO of Novosom, AG commented, "We are delighted at the potential for this collaboration and anticipate it will provide significant further validation of our technology and a potent endorsement of our approach."
"This collaboration is the next step in our key objective to generate therapeutic delivery systems for siRNA, decoys, plasmids and antisense."
Elias Papatheodorou, COO of Novosom AG added, "This is the first of a number of collaborations that Novosom will be announcing in 2006."
"We are excited about the prospects of our Smarticles® molecules in oncology, immunology and liver therapeutics. We estimate that we will enter the clinic with therapeutic candidates within 2006."

Hadith, sau hadîth (în ), reprezintă consemnarea unei fapte sau spuse a profetului Muhammad (d. 632). În sens mai general, termenul poate fi folosit și cu referire la o faptă sau spusă a unuia din tovarășii săi sau succesorilor săi.

Istoric
Au existat literalmente mii de hadith-uri care au circulat în comunitatea musulmană în formă orală și scrisă în primul secol al islamului. Acestea au fost colectate în timpul secolelor al IX-lea și al X-lea. Aceste relatări sunt baza, pe lângă Coran, a legii islamice, practicii religioase, credinței și guvernează religios viața de zi cu zi a musulmanului.  S-a cristalizat astfel adevărul revelat care definește sunna, adică faptele, vorbele și aprobările tacite ale Profetului, un fel de cod autentic de acțiune aprobat de către profetul Muhammad. De-a lungul istoriei islamice, fiecare dintre ramurile islamice importante,sunism, șiism, și sufismul au căutat îndrumare și inspirație în hadith.

Deși din punct de vedere canonic nu sunt egale Coranului, hadith-urile au exercitat o influență la fel de mare asupra dezvoltării gândirii islamice. În hadith Muhammad este cel care vorbește, iar în Coran, Dumnezeu.În hadith, numai sensul este inspirat. În Coran, atât sensul cât și cuvântul sunt inspirate. Jurisprudența (Fiqh) și teologia se bazează mai întâi pe Coran, apoi pe hadith.

În cursul primelor două secole și jumătate de după Muhammad, numărul spuselor și faptelor sale consemnate crescuse considerabil. Oricând apărea o problemă religioasă, politică sau socială, importantă era pentru cel în cauză o vorbă sau o hotărâre a Profetului, fie reală,fie fictivă. Crearea, inventarea chiar, de hadith-uri era o chestiune vitală pentru soluționarea, de exemplu, a adversităților între abbasizi și omeyyazi sau a problemei spinoase a superiorității arabilor față de nearabi. Compunerea de hadith-uri avea și o valoare comercială, mulți câștingându-și în acest fel existența. Existau două școli principale de emitere și certificare a hadith-urilor, cea kufită și cea medineză (după denumirea specifică a orașelor de reședință).

Structura
În forma sa clasică, un hadith este compus din două părți, un lanț de emițători (isnad) și textul în sine (matn) din relatare. Textul urmează lanțului de transmițători și trebuie să fie în stil indirect liber: A mi-a relatat că B i-a relatat, aflând de la C, care știa de la D...
Erau deci foarte importante reputația transmițătorilor precum și veridicitatea lanțului neîntrerupt pornit de la profet. În funcție de aceste criterii, hadith-urile sunt considerate autentice (sahih), acceptabile (hasan) sau slabe (da'if).  Primul martor astfel transmițător al spuselor Profetului a fost Abu Bakr, de altfel primul calif (632-634). Soția lui Muhammad, Aisha, a transmis, de exemplu, un hadith referitor la băuturile alcoolice, care sunt interzise (Haraam) musulmanului.

Semnificație
Hadith-urile explicitau și completau Coranul. Acestea mai ofereau comunității islamice precepte și pilde apostolice din toate domeniile. Călătoria nocturnă, vag amintită într-un verset coranic, se regăsește în forme ample în tradiții. Hadith-urile au contribuit la transmiterea unor proverbe, anecdote, parabole și miracole, toate atribuite lui Muhammad. Prin acestea, familiile islamice și-au găsit poveștile.

Tipuri de hadith. Colecții
Hadith-ul, pe lângă chestiunile legate de credință și aspecte practice din viața religioasă a musulmanului, conține și elemente contextual-istorice, precum și comentarii la adresa Coranului (tafsir).

Un tip foarte special de hadith este Qudsi (sfânt hadith). Acesta conține o spusă atribuită lui Dumnezeu de către Muhammad, dar care nu a fost găsită în Coran. Deși este un proverb divin, acesta nu este privit cu aceeași autoritate precum cea a unui verset din Coran.
În secolul islamic al II-lea, diversele colecții de hadith-uri aflate în circulație sunt antologate în șase volume, devenite de atunci canonice.

Pe linie sunită, prima și cea mai influentă este cea a lui al-Buhari (810-870), persan de origine. Acesta a selectat din cele 600.000 de tradiții culese de la 1000 de șeici pe parcursul a 16 ani de peregrinări prin Persia, Irak, Hijaz și Egipt, aproximativ 7397 de tradiții pe care le-a sistematizat după subiecte (pelerinajul, războiul sfânt, rugăciunea etc). Corpusul de tradiții rivalizează antologia lui ibn-al-Haggag din Naysabur. Conținutul este similar colecției lui al-Buhari, cu diferențe de isnad.
Mai există alte patru astfel de cărți canonice: Sunan, de Abu-Dawud din Basra, Gami, de al-Tirmizi, Sunan, de ibn-Maga și Sunan, de al-Nasa'i.

Pe linie șiită, colecțiile de hadith-uri au fost promovate începând din secolul 10, bazate pe declarații ale imamilor, precum cea a lui al-Kulayni, a lui Ibn al-Qummi și Muhammad al-Tusi. O colecție ulterioară aproape exhaustivă a fost cea a lui Muhammad Baqir - Bihar al-anwar (Oceanul luminilor), definititivată în jurul anului 1674 (aproximativ 110 volume).
Hadith-urile au avut de asemenea audiență în rândul mediilor sufite, în măsura în care le susțineau convingerile și practicile legate de credință.

We have been waiting for a video like this. We like both of these cameras but they're different and one will excel over the other depending on your purpose. The obvious advantage of the GX80/85 is the IBIS and the obvious advantage of the Sony is sensor size and AF.
Olympus's $350 action camera is built to be rugged which does make it physically larger. It's nice to see some more competition in this area as GoPro's prices were getting out of control. This video camera has a small sized sensor which is standard for this kind of camera, and it features a waterproof and "crushproof" build.
This is an interesting comparison as these two cameras are similar in price even though they differ significantly in form factor. If you're going to go for the Blackmagic then it makes more sense to get the 4.6K version unless budget prevents you.
We prefer the Sony A6300 for image quality (despite its rolling shutter and over-heating) to the Sony RX10 II but there are cases where the zoom range of the RX10 II will be more applicable to your shooting purposes.
