It didn't have to end this way. Not in Brian Urlacher's eyes.
The eight-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker and future Hall of Famer yearned to be a Bear for life. He wanted to walk off Soldier Field on his terms.
When the Bears sent out a news release Wednesday saying they were parting ways with their longtime leader, the reality of the moment caught Urlacher by surprise. In fact, Urlacher and his camp never voiced a desire to move on, although the Bears' statement labeled it a mutual decision.
"My phone was blowing up, and I had no freaking idea what was going on," Urlacher said. "I had 10 messages in 20 seconds. Then I was like, 'Holy crap.' It was crazy."
Even crazier to Urlacher was the team's decision to hold firm on a one-year contract offer that maxed out at $2 million and included $1 million guaranteed. Urlacher, a free agent for the first time after 13 seasons, initially sought a two-year, $11.5 million deal and figured the sides would reach a middle ground. Problem was, there never truly were any negotiations.
After Urlacher's agents presented their initial proposal after the combine, the Bears took a few weeks to mull it over before sending an email Thursday with the one-year, $2 million offer. Urlacher made $7.5 million last season.
"It wasn't even an offer, it was an ultimatum," Urlacher told the Tribune. "I feel like I'm a decent football player still. It was insulting, somewhat of a slap in the face.
"They came back with the offer and said, 'This is what it is, take it or leave it.' It was, 'If you want to play for the Bears, you'll play for this. If not, then you're not playing for the Bears.'"
Urlacher's agents, Pat Dye Jr. and Bill Johnson, responded with another proposal to play for one year at about $3.5 million. Although general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman had voiced their support of Urlacher and expressed a desire to have him back, the Bears wouldn't budge.
"This whole offseason, I had a bad feeling about this situation anyway," Urlacher said. "I just wish they would have said, 'We don't want you back.' I think this whole thing is just about them saving face and trying to say that they made a run at me."
Urlacher, who turns 35 in May, said he has worked too hard this offseason to consider retirement. He counted on the sides coming to an amicable agreement so a hamstring strain wouldn't be his last memory as a Bear.
"I wanted to be here," Urlacher said. "I wanted to be in Chicago. I wanted to finish here. Now, it's not possible.
$2 million is a lot of money. But I'm not going to put my body through what it goes through during the season for that amount of money. Not for anybody. Not at this point of my career. It's not worth it to me."
Emery and Chairman George McCaskey expressed their thoughts on Urlacher in the team statement.
"Brian has been an elite player in our league for over a decade," Emery said. "He showed great leadership and helped develop a winning culture over his time with the Bears. We appreciate all he has given our team, on and off the field. Brian will always be welcomed as a member of the Bears."
Said McCaskey: "As Bears fans, we have been lucky to have such a humble superstar represent our city. He embodies the same characteristics displayed by the Bears all-time greats who played before him, and he will eventually join many of them in the Pro Football Hall of Fame."
The Bears might not appreciate Urlacher's value until they take the field without him this fall. A severe left knee injury suffered at the end of the 2011 season kept him from roaming the field in his usual fashion last season. His teammates, however, understood the importance of having him out there as a defensive field general and overall team leader, even if a step slower.
Lance Briggs, Urlacher's tag-team partner at linebacker, was too emotional to talk about his friend's abrupt departure when contacted by phone Wednesday. Pro Bowl cornerback Tim Jennings had a difficult time coming to grips with the news too.
"Hell, yeah, it's a shock to me," Jennings said. "I thought the organization would at least have a little bit more respect for the man, pay him what he's worth and not try to lowball him.
"Brian knows what he's worth, going out there at the stage of his career that he's at and risking his body. It was very insulting to hear what they thought of him. And it's very disappointing that he won't be coming back."
Urlacher's legend was born Sept. 17, 2000, when he recorded 13 tackles and a sack in his first NFL start after being drafted in the first round out of New Mexico. Thirteen seasons and a franchise-record 1,776 tackles later (according to team statistics), Urlacher must start a new chapter.
His agents have been in contact with the Cowboys, Vikings, Cardinals and others. The Cowboys appear to be a long shot based on their tight salary-cap situation and faith in Sean Lee at middle linebacker. The Vikings plan to address their middle linebacker void through the draft.
Urlacher isn't focused on any one team.
"I would like to go somewhere that has a chance to win," Urlacher said. "There are a lot of opportunities out there for me. I'm not in any hurry to make any decisions right now."
Despite the way things ended, Urlacher said he is not bitter toward the franchise.
"There are no hard feelings between me and the Bears organization," Urlacher said. "I'm going to miss the hell out of my teammates. I had a great run here."

Post category:English / Sierra leone
By Ruth Harley with special thanks to all the campaigners that shared information
Campaigners in Sierra Leone are spread out all over the country. This report highlights the key challenges that each region or county faces, the type of FGM that takes place, and a few action points for moving forward.
There is no one way to fight FGM. Each region or county has different cultures, traditions, and challenges around FGM, therefore we have to be specific in our approaches to end FGM.
Port Loko:
Challenges :
Efforts are still needed in remote communities especially in Kambia and other parts of Port Loko district.
The only reason that girls want to join their parents on FGM is due to the old tradition which says that you are only a complete woman if you go through it.
Despite been rated high in the reduction of FGM practice in Sierra Leone by various alike campaigners and institutions, Port Loko District is faced with the issue of changing the beliefs of rural and or village communities.
According to the last census conducted in 2015, the district has a population of 615,000 people most of them are in remote communities. The majority are women and girls.
Type of FGM:
There are figures obtained by various research on the type of FGM practiced in Port Loko just like other parts of Sierra Leone. They show that 32% practice type Ib (removal of the clitoris with the prepuce); 64% undertake type IIb (partial or total removal of the clitoris and labia minora); and 4% had type IIc (partial or total removal of the clitoris, the labia minora, and the labia majora). By and large, type In and IIb are more common.
How is it carried out?
First girls are made to believe in traditional and cultural practice at a very young age. Some are initiated even before age 5.
A ceremony used to take place, but now more often done secretly in some communities. Parents buy (despite their poor living conditions)a lot of clothing to induce the victims (girls) so that they can be dressed with new looks.
There are various stages before, during, and after mutilation. All of the stages are scary and sometimes shock occurs and leads to death. More of these deaths are recorded and reported but little or no action is taken by state Authorities.
Action points:
Education and effective communication is still required to reach out to village communities in Port Loko District.
This is attainable with media engagement as well as community engagements.
Radios are still the most reliable source of information to these people and could be an effective way to reach them out.
Koinadugu:
Tradition and culture don't allow people to talk about FGM initiations in some communities.
Some Cutters (Sowies) are demanding money from us so that they could lay down tools because they have no other source of income.
Language barrier in some parts of the district.
The poor road network to access radio stations and communities. Poor communication network to access internet facilities.
Type of FGM :
Sensitizations should be done on a monthly basis via media and radio.
Conduct training for cutters ( Sowies) and stakeholders at the chiefdom level.
Kenema :
Sometimes the Sowies in Kenema react to the message that campaigners disseminate to the general public, about the practice of FGM. They go on the media to tell people not to listen to the campaigners.
They took the girls to a specific place commonly known as a society bush or ground and there they will initiate them, and the new initiatives will stay in the bush for a period of sometimes two or three weeks.
We will involve religious leaders on the radio
We will extend sensitization out of Kenema city
We will have a workshop with the sowies
Tonkolili :
Questions community members ask:
"Do uncut women have sex that is satisfying with their partners?"
"If uncut girls or women scratch their private parts, do they also produce bad odor?"
Type FGM:
After cutting to them, the initiates would be left in the shrine for one or two months for the wounds to heal.
During that time, they will be taught how to take care of their husbands' homes, teach them how to conduct themselves in society, how to greet their husbands, teach them how to cook and serve their husband's water, how to organise their husband's documents among many other good attributes.
Sensitise both parents, initiators, Paramount Chiefs, religious leaders, underage girls, and women to stop the practice.
Freetown :
Freetown being the most populous place in Sierra Leone, and a cosmopolitan city, it hosts different tribes and different kinds of people, therefore the type of FGM performed in Freetown is also heterogeneous.
All the kinds of FGM are practiced in Freetown, below are some of them;
type 1 (clitoridectomy) – removing part or all of the clitoris
type 2 (excision) – removing part or all of the clitoris and the inner labia (the lips that surround the vagina), with or without removal of the labia majora (the larger outer lips)
type 3 (infibulation) – narrowing the vaginal opening by creating a seal, formed by cutting and repositioning the labia
other harmful procedures to the female genitals, including pricking, piercing, cutting, scraping, or burning the area.
How FGM takes place:
FGM in Freetown is often performed by traditional circumcisers or cutters who do not have any medical training. But in some circumstances and some tribes in Freetown it may be done by a medical professional, for example, in the elitist Krio tribe 90% of their women that undergo FGM, do so through medical practitioners.
The main issue with FGM in Freetown and Sierra Leone by extension is the lack of adequate knowledge of its hazards by young girls that are the potential victims, and the politicisation of the practice; whereby politicians use FGM as a means through which they canvass votes among the womenfolk of Freetown and Sierra Leone Generally.
There needs to be National Legislation criminalising the practice of FGM.
There needs to be mass sensitisation and awareness-raising campaigns against FGM by campaigners targeting women and girls.
There should be an alternative means of livelihood for Soweis who are involved in the practice of FGM as a means of livelihood and survival.
All FGM secret shrines should be transformed into schools, and skills training centres for women and girls.
We must incorporate an Anti Fgm course in the school curriculum.

Preston is a suburb located in the northern part of Paignton in Devon. Preston is a popular destination for family holidays and has two main beaches; Hollicombe, a red sandy beach with cliffs and rock pools, and Preston Sands with rock pools, beach huts and facilities. At low tide it is possible to walk between Preston Sands and the adjoining beaches at Paignton. The ward population at the 2011 census was 10,924.

Preston had a railway station called Preston Platform briefly between 1911  and 1914.  The entrance to the platform (now bricked up with grey breeze blocks) can be found on the footpath that runs in a northerly direction below the railway bridge at the bottom of Seaway Road.  Preston Platform was the only halt ever built between the Torquay and Paignton railway stations.

The main road through Preston is the A3022 (formerly A379) with Stagecoach service 12 operating every 10 minutes between Brixham and Newton Abbot.

On the edge of the district is Oldway Mansion, built for the Singer family and later home to the Torbay Council offices.  After an aborted attempt to sell the building, the Mansion remains in Council hands but as of November 2020 is closed to the public.  However the gardens remain freely available for exploring.

Preston has a primary school, Preston Primary, which technically is in the Livermead suburb of Torquay, with the boundary between the towns of Paignton and Torquay running through the school grounds. St Paul's Church was built in 1938–39 to the designs of Nugent Cachemaille-Day.

Chad Klinkenborg, Barry Crose join Mule Deer Foundation
Ammoland Inc. Posted on December 13, 2016 by Ammoland Editor Joe Evans
Chad Klinkenborg
Mule Deer Foundation
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -(Ammoland.com)- The Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) has hired Chad Klinkenborg and Barry Crose to join its strong team of Regional Directors. Klinkenborg will be serving chapters in western Montana, and Crose is filling a new position covering MDF activities in Idaho.
The two have already jumped into their jobs and are actively working with their chapters to expand MDF's engagement in these two important states.
"Chad and Barry are excellent additions to our staff and they have hit the ground running in their respective states," commented Mike Laughter, Director of Field Operations for MDF. "Montana and Idaho are the heart of mule deer country and we have so much potential to build on these chapters' hard work. I'm confident Chad and Barry will add significant value to our already exceptional field team."
Chad Klinkenborg joins MDF after five years as senior regional director with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in Oregon; prior to that he worked with the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies in Washington, DC as a grant coordinator.
Klinkenborg was born and raised in the Midwest and followed his father who is an avid outdoorsman into the woods hunting and fishing as soon as he could walk. With a passion for conservation established early, it was a natural fit to pursue a degree in forestry and natural resource conservation through the University of Montana.
It was during his college years that Chad developed a deep love for Montana. He will be based out of Bozeman.
"Montana is truly the best place to live if you love to hunt and are passionate about conservation," said Klinkenborg. "I am excited to help MDF grow as an organization to enhance wildlife habitat and protect open space. We have very strong chapters established in Montana and potential for even more growth so I know together we'll be achieving great things to further MDF's mission."
Barry Crose has been volunteering and working for conservation for three decades. He grew up in eastern Washington and his love of the outdoors began as a Cub Scout progressing through to becoming an Eagle Scout.
His father was an avid deer hunter taking an annual trip to the Steens Mountains in eastern Oregon and eventually heading to Montana, where Barry joined him and shot his first mule deer buck when he was 21. Crose earned a degree in leisure services and his early positions focused on recreation, marketing, and fundraising for a resort on the Olympic Peninsula and then for the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce before moving into the banking industry.
During this time, he began actively volunteering for conservation organizations and then took a job as a Regional Director for Ducks Unlimited. Crose has been living and hunting in northern Idaho but will be relocating to southern Idaho to work for MDF.
"Instead of working for someone else's pocket, I'd rather be working for a cause," Crose noted. "As a Regional Director for MDF I'll be able to make an impact for conservation and for my passion of hunting. If we do things right, I know that my son and his future children will also have the great opportunities that I have had."
About MDF:
The Mule Deer Foundation is the only conservation group in North America dedicated to restoring, improving and protecting mule deer and black-tailed deer and their habitat, with a focus on science and program efficiency. MDF is a strong voice for hunters in access, wildlife management and conservation policy issues. MDF acknowledges regulated hunting as a viable management component and is committed to recruitment and retention of youth into the shooting sports and conservation.

I grew up in rural Michigan before receiving my undergraduate degree at Ohio State University. I am often asked what it was like to move into "enemy territory" for school, but I would not have had it any other way. I decided to go into the field of mental health partway through my undergraduate career and instantly felt at home. I fell in love with the idea of helping people heal from wounds not visible to the eye, and empowering people to live their most authentic and fulfilling life. I decided to go into social work for the diversity of available career paths, and attended the University of Alabama for graduate school. Through this educational journey, I developed a rather intense love of college football and spend most fall Saturdays cheering on the Buckeyes and the Crimson Tide.
As a therapist, I am committed to empowering members to live their most authentic life. I enjoy helping others develop strategies to manage life's daily stressors, as well as heal from past hurts and work toward future goals. I believe members are best suited for recovery when they are fully informed and empowered to make changes in their lives. I strongly believe in the connection between physical and mental health and believe everyone can benefit from being more active.
To "thrive" means to prosper or to flourish. In order to do either of these things, we must work to find balance in life between our responsibilities and our interests. I am a firm believer in "practice what you preach," and as such, I am constantly striving to find physical outlets for life's daily stressors. To me, thriving looks like taking time for the things I love, including running, bicycling, walking my dog, and spending time with loved ones.

Q: MS Access Group Summary I'm fairly new to Access, and I have a database (didn't make it, inherited it and don't currently have access to the author or full documentation) that contains a bunch of financial information for the company I'm interning at, and I'm running into a strange error with, well, group summaries in a report. Allow me to illustrate (format visible but actual information obscured):
This is the information displayed correctly, as happens sometimes (the actual detail group is two layers below what's currently visible). The green is where the summary is correct for where it should be. The red is where the summary is giving the correct values for the second Project Responsibility row, specifically.
Then I clicked Hide Detail in the first Project Responsibility row which, as far as I can tell, runs only an embedded macro that makes things visible or not and changes the button's caption (it's the only thing listed under Event in Properties), then clicked it again (didn't actually need to to induce the error, but I wanted the report to look as similar as possible). The report now displayed this, colours symbolizing exactly what they did before.
The design view versions of those cells are just =Sum([the column's variable displayed]), except for the % column which is =Avg. They themselves have no event handling Properties is showing me.
The error is reproducible, but not exactly consistently: sometimes the summary starts out correct, sometimes it becomes correct after fiddling with the various Show/Hide Detail buttons, sometimes it's the first time I've opened that report after starting Access and sometimes not. The only constant is that hitting a Show/Hide Detail button when it's correct makes it cease to be.
Anyone know anything about what might be causing this? If not, could you explain what further details might be helpful in narrowing it down so I can provide as much as I can?

Many everyday household items may contribute to poor indoor air quality. Compounds found in carpeting, furniture, upholstery and drapery fabric constantly emit gases or fumes. Other sources of pollutants can include cleaning agents, paint and personal care products.
Though they are typically more efficient, today's homes do not breathe (ventilate) the way older homes have. Tight-sealing weather stripping and storm doors keep indoor air in and outdoor air out. This provides greater energy savings, but the limited exchange of outdoor and indoor air can mean a buildup of contaminants on the inside of the house. In these circumstances, a whole home ventilation system is recommended. Ventilation systems exchange polluted indoor air for more breathable outdoor air, without sacrificing energy savings.

Q: Added functionality broke my tests - very simple logic too I have code similar to this:
public List<string> Expected = new List<string>();
public int SpecifiedID;

public DataIn(int ID, string Value)
{
  Expected.Add(Value);
  //if (ID == SpecifiedID)
  //Expected.Clear();

  //Need to add this but my tests that do something like
  //CollectionAssert.AreEqual(new[] { "2", "4", "6", "8" }, logic.Expected);
  //all fail as Expected is empty.
}

//Example Test
[Test]
public void NewTestFunction()
{
   MyClass logic = new MyClass();
   logic.SpecifiedID = 4;

   logic.DataIn(1,"2");
   logic.DataIn(2,"4");
   logic.DataIn(3,"6");
   logic.DataIn(4,"8");

   //This will FAIL if Expected.Clear is added in the class.
   CollectionAssert.AreEqual(new[] { "2", "4", "6", "8" }, logic.Expected);
}

This is simplified a lot however I have tests that check the validity of the Expected contents when DataIn is called. However I now have realised I have to clear Expected after every DataIn call. This has broken my tests obviously as there is nothing in it to assert against.
Any suggestions on how to keep the tests that validate the contents but also allow me to empty the collection?

A: The answer is simple - your code does not pass your test. I.e. it does not behave as expected (you describe expected behavior in your test). So, code should change - remove call to Expected.Clear(). Or think about what you expect from your code.
UPDATE (for case when expectations changes):
public void ShoulHaveAllDataInWhenIdIsNotSpecifiedID()
{
   MyClass logic = new MyClass();
   logic.SpecifiedID = 3;

   logic.DataIn(1,"2");
   logic.DataIn(2,"4");

   CollectionAssert.AreEqual(new[] { "2", "4" }, logic.Expected);
}

[Test]
public void ShoulClearAllDataWhenSpecifiedIDPassed()
{
   MyClass logic = new MyClass();
   logic.SpecifiedID = 3;

   logic.DataIn(1,"2");
   logic.DataIn(2,"4");
   logic.DataIn(3,"6");

   CollectionAssert.AreEqual(new[] { }, logic.Expected);
}

Also consider doing behavior testing instead of state testing. By providing mocks to your class you can check how it interacts with them. I.e. check what data passed to your class dependency.

A: Initialization to known good state should be part of your test/class setup method.  From your description, though, it seems like you may have too much coupling between your tests or that your tests are testing too much at one time.  Each test, with appropriate set up, should be independent and ideally able to run in parallel.  Typically this means that each is running against a different instance of the class under test and you don't have dependencies on global data, or at least those dependencies are read-only so you can set it once for all tests.

A:
When the SpecifiedID is matched everything has to be cleared

This is one test. Instantiate your object. Give it a SpecifiedId of X. Call DataIn() on it with Y as a first parameter and then with X as a first parameter. Assert that Expected is empty. Simple.

when the next call is made it starts adding data to it again ready for
  validation

This is another test. Instantiate your object. Give it a SpecifiedId of X. Repeatedly call DataIn() on it never using X as an ID. Assert that Expected contains the passed values. Simple.
Two requirements, two tests. Really, I can't see what's the big deal here.

A: Why do not just change test function. Create a new test function:
[Test]
public void NewTestFunction()
{
    Data("Bla");

    //Test for something

    Expected.Clear();
}

If this is not what you're asking for, please clarify.


Beer runs in the family for Tom and Nick Moench. The pair put their heads together, mixed their techniques and knowledge to brew Inoculated Orange Blossom Pilsner (IOBP) in time for Father's Day.
The new refreshing sour beer is a take on Tom's classic Orange Blossom Pilsner (OBP). Nick took his dad's recipe and added a custom blend of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae), Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) and Pediococcus pentosaceus (P. pentosaceus) grown by Inoculum.
Tom, founder of Orange Blossom Brewing Company, began homebrewing in 1978 when it became federally legalized. One of Florida's first craft beers, known as OBP, was born 10 years later in his garage. The beer industry has drastically changed since then, which Nick can attest to. His dad's pilsner is older than he is.
Nick is the owner of Inoculum Ale Works, Florida's first sour-only production brewery, and a soon-to-open taproom in downtown St. Petersburg. In the Inoculum lab, which includes a DNA sequencing machine, Nick produces the yeast and bacteria needed to create his sour beers in-house.
"We grow new microbes and use them to ferment our sour beers. Each batch tells its own story. This collaborative beer starts with the strong foundation of my dad's OBP. It's something new that appeals to both craft beer lovers and sour aficionados alike," explains Nick.

\section{Introduction}
Entanglement is a completely quantum characteristic which has given rise to a
number of counter-intuitive phenomena. The most well known of this is the
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, which arises because of quantum
correlations. With the advent of quantum computation, this correlation
has come in handy for a number of purposes, not achievable in the classical
world. In a remarkable result \cite{Bennett}, it has been shown that an unknown single
qubit state can be teleported to a desired destination through an EPR state.
Entanglement is well understood in the case of two particles. In the multi-particle
scenario, much remains to be understood and explored. In the case of three particles,
the well known states are the GHZ and the W states. Interestingly, the former can
be used for teleportation but the latter is unusable for the same purpose. In the case of four particles,
entangled Bell pair and the cluster states have found much applications
in Quantum computation. These states have been experimentally
realized in laboratory conditions \cite{china}. Higher particle generalizations are of recent origin.
Prominent among them is the five particle Brown state \cite{Brown}, which has
been numerically shown to be highly entangled. Recently, the utility of this
state for teleportation, Quantum state sharing and superdense coding have been
illustrated by us \cite{Sreraman}. These kind of states for the purpose of
specific tasks are called Task oriented Maximally entangled states (TMES) \cite{Pankaj}.

Superdense coding is intimately related to teleportation, whereas in the
case of state-splitting , multiple parties need to cooperate for a given
member to recover the state. In reality, entangled states are prone
to decoherence. In many scenarios, highly entangled states may not be required
for the purpose at hand. Hence, it is worth investigating a less entangled
state for physical applications. Below, we consider a variant of the Brown state
for usefulness towards teleportation and dense coding. Also, the state is highly
robust from the point of view of entanglement. This state is asymmetric in the sense
that it does not have the same form for all $(3+2)$ splits.
This state has the form :
\begin{equation}
|\psi_{5}\rangle=\frac{1}{2}(|000\rangle|\phi_{-}\rangle+|010\rangle|\psi_{-}\rangle
+|100\rangle|\phi_{+}\rangle+|111\rangle|\psi_{+}\rangle),
\end{equation}

where, $|\psi_\pm\rangle=|00\rangle\pm|11\rangle$ and
$|\phi_\pm\rangle=|01\rangle\pm|10\rangle$ are Bell states. $|\psi_5\rangle$
exhibits genuine multi-partite entanglement according to
both negative partial transpose measure, as well as von Neumann
entropy measure. The von Neumann entropy between (1234$|$5) is
equal to one and between (123$|$45) is two. These are the maximum
possible entanglement values between the respective subsets. Even
after tracing out one/two qubits from the state, entanglement
sustains in the resulting subsystem and thus, is highly `robust'.
Also, the state is maximally mixed, after we trace out $1$, or
$2$, or $3$ or $4$ qubits which is an indication of genuine
multi-particle entanglement for the five-qubit state
$|\psi_5\rangle$. Four-qubit states do not show such
characteristic behaviour and fail to attain maximal entropy
\cite{Higuchi}. Thus, the five-qubit state can provide an edge
over the four-qubit state for state transfer and coding.
We recall the standard protocol for teleportation for the sake of
completeness. Alice and Bob share a maximally entangled state
$|\varphi\rangle_{AB}$, where A and B respectively refer to the
subsystems of Alice and Bob. Alice wants to teleport
$|\psi\rangle_a$, in her possession, to Bob. Thus, she prepares
the combined state,

\begin{equation}
|\psi\rangle_{a}|\varphi\rangle_{AB}= \frac{1}{\sqrt{D}}
\sum_{x=1}^{D}|\phi_{x}\rangle_{aA}U_{x}|\psi\rangle_{B}.
\end{equation}

Here, ${U_x}$ are unitary operators on subsystem B and
${|\phi_{x}\rangle_{aA}}$ are mutually orthogonal states of the
joint system. Now, Alice makes a projective measurement on the
joint system and classically communicates the result to Bob, who
then recovers the state, after applying appropriate unitary
operations.

\section{A single qubit state}
In the seminal paper, Bennett \it{et al.} \normalfont \cite{Bennett}  considered the
teleportation of a single qubit state given by $\alpha|0\rangle+\beta|1\rangle$
using the Bell state as an entangled channel. In their scheme,
Alice first combines the unknown qubit with her state and
peforms a Bell measurment and communicates the result
of her measurement to Bob via two cbits of information.
Bob, then performs an unitary operation and obtains the
unknown qubit. We now demonstrate, the utility of $|\psi_{5}\rangle$
for teleportation. Let us first consider the situation in which Alice possesses
qubits $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$ and particle $5$ belongs to Bob. Alice
wants to teleport $\alpha|0\rangle+\beta|1\rangle$ to Bob. So,
Alice prepares the combined state,

\begin{eqnarray}
(\alpha|0\rangle+\beta|1\rangle)|\psi_{5}\rangle=|\phi_{1}\rangle_{a_{1+}}
(\alpha|0\rangle+\beta|1\rangle)+|\phi_{2}\rangle_{a_{1-}}\alpha|0\rangle-\beta|1\rangle)
+|\phi_{3}\rangle_{a_{2+}}(\beta|0\rangle+\alpha|1\rangle)+|\phi_{4}\rangle_{a_{2-}}(\beta|0\rangle-\alpha|1\rangle),
\end{eqnarray}

where, the $|\phi_{x}\rangle_{a_{i}\pm}$ are mutually orthogonal
states of the measurement basis. The states
$|\phi_{x}\rangle_{a_{i}\pm}$ are given as,

\begin{eqnarray}
|\phi_{x}\rangle_{a_{1}\pm}&=&(-|00001\rangle_{A}+|00100\rangle_{A}+|01001\rangle_{A}+|01110\rangle_{A}\pm(|10000\rangle_{A}-
|10101\rangle_{A}+|11000\rangle_{A}\nonumber+|11111\rangle_{A}),\\
|\phi_{x}\rangle_{a_{2}\pm}&=&(-|10001\rangle_{A}+|10100\rangle_{A}+|11001\rangle_{A}+|11110\rangle)_{A}\pm(|00000\rangle_{A}-
|00101\rangle_{A}+|01000\rangle_{A}\nonumber+|01111\rangle_{A}).
\end{eqnarray}

Alice can now make a five-particle measurement using
$|\phi_{x}\rangle_{a_{i}\pm}$. Bob can apply suitable unitary
operations given by $(1,\sigma_{1},i\sigma_{2},\sigma_{3})$ to
recover the original state $(\alpha|0\rangle+\beta|1\rangle)$.
This completes the teleportation protocol for the teleportation of
a single qubit state using the state $|\psi_5\rangle$.

\section{An arbitrary two qubit state}
Teleportation of an arbitrary two qubit state was first studied, by Rigolin \cite{Rigolin1},
using two entangled Bell pairs as a quantum channel. Later, a genuinely entangled four qubit state
was introduced by Yeo and Chua \cite{Yeo} for the same purpose. In this section, we shall
investigate the efficacy of $|\psi_{5}\rangle$ for the same purpose.
Alice has an arbitrary two qubit state,

\begin{equation}
|\psi\rangle=\alpha|00\rangle+\mu|10\rangle+\gamma|01\rangle+\beta|11\rangle,
\end{equation}

which she has to teleport to Bob. Qubits $1$, $2$, $3$ and $4$,
$5$ respectively, belong to Alice and Bob. Alice prepares the
combined state,

\begin{eqnarray}
|\psi\rangle|\psi_{5}\rangle & = &
\frac{1}{4}[|\psi_{5}\rangle_1(\alpha|01\rangle+\gamma|00\rangle+\mu|11\rangle+\beta|10\rangle)+
|\psi_5\rangle_2(\alpha|01\rangle+\gamma|00\rangle-\mu|11\rangle-\beta|10\rangle)+\nonumber
\\ & &
|\psi_5\rangle_3(\alpha|01\rangle-\gamma|00\rangle+\mu|11\rangle-\beta|10\rangle)+
|\psi_5\rangle_4(\alpha|01\rangle-\gamma|00\rangle-\mu|11\rangle+\beta|10\rangle)+\nonumber
\\ & &
|\psi_5\rangle_5(\alpha|11\rangle+\gamma|10\rangle+\mu|01\rangle+\beta|00\rangle)+
|\psi_5\rangle_6(\alpha|11\rangle-\gamma|10\rangle+\mu|01\rangle-\beta|00\rangle)+\nonumber
\\ & &
|\psi_5\rangle_7(\alpha|11\rangle+\gamma|10\rangle-\mu|01\rangle-\beta|00\rangle)+
|\psi_5\rangle_8(\alpha|11\rangle-\gamma|10\rangle-\mu|01\rangle+\beta|00\rangle)+\nonumber
\\ & &
|\psi_5\rangle_9(\alpha|00\rangle+\gamma|01\rangle+\mu|10\rangle+\beta|11\rangle)+
|\psi_5\rangle_{10}(\alpha|00\rangle-\gamma|01\rangle+\mu|10\rangle-\beta|11\rangle)+\nonumber
\\ & &
|\psi_5\rangle_{11}(\alpha|00\rangle+\gamma|01\rangle-\mu|10\rangle-\beta|11\rangle)+
|\psi_5\rangle_{12}(\alpha|00\rangle-\gamma|01\rangle-\mu|10\rangle+\beta|11\rangle)+\nonumber
\\ & &
|\psi_5\rangle_{13}(\alpha|10\rangle+\gamma|11\rangle+\mu|00\rangle+\beta|01\rangle)+
|\psi_5\rangle_{14}(\alpha|10\rangle-\gamma|11\rangle+\mu|00\rangle-\beta|01\rangle)+\nonumber
\\ & &
|\psi_5\rangle_{15}(\alpha|10\rangle+\gamma|11\rangle-\mu|00\rangle-\beta|01\rangle)+
|\psi_5\rangle_{16}(\alpha|10\rangle-\gamma|11\rangle-\mu|00\rangle+\beta|01\rangle)].
\end{eqnarray}

Here, $|\psi_5\rangle_{i}$'s forming the mutual orthogonal basis
of measurement are given by :

\begin{eqnarray}
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{1}=\frac{1}{2}[|\phi_{-}\rangle|010\rangle+|\phi_{+}\rangle|111\rangle+|\psi_{-}\rangle|000\rangle+|\psi_{+}\rangle|
100\rangle];
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{2}=\frac{1}{2}[|\phi_{+}\rangle|010\rangle+|\phi_{-}\rangle|111\rangle+|\psi_{+}\rangle|000\rangle+|\psi_{-}\rangle|
100\rangle];\nonumber \\
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{3}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{-}\rangle|000\rangle+|\psi_{+}\rangle|100\rangle-|\phi_{+}\rangle|010\rangle-|\phi_{-}\rangle|
111\rangle];
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{4}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{-}\rangle|000\rangle+|\psi_{+}\rangle|100\rangle-|\phi_{-}\rangle|010\rangle-|\phi_{+}\rangle|

|\psi_{5}\rangle_{6}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{-}\rangle|111\rangle-|\psi_{+}\rangle|010\rangle+|\phi_{+}\rangle|000\rangle-|\phi_{-}\rangle|
100\rangle];\nonumber \\
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{7}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{-}\rangle|111\rangle-|\psi_{+}\rangle|010\rangle-|\phi_{+}\rangle|000\rangle+|\phi_{-}\rangle|
100\rangle];
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{8}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{+}\rangle|111\rangle-|\psi_{-}\rangle|010\rangle+|\phi_{-}\rangle|000\rangle-|\phi_{+}\rangle|
100\rangle];\nonumber \\
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{9}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{+}\rangle|111\rangle+|\psi_{-}\rangle|010\rangle+|\phi_{-}\rangle|000\rangle+|\phi_{+}\rangle|

|\psi_{5}\rangle_{10}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{-}\rangle|111\rangle+|\psi_{+}\rangle|010\rangle-|\phi_{-}\rangle|000\rangle-|\psi_{+}\rangle|
100\rangle];\nonumber \\
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{11}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{-}\rangle|111\rangle+|\psi_{+}\rangle|010\rangle+|\phi_{+}\rangle|000\rangle+|\phi_{-}\rangle|
100\rangle];
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{12}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{+}\rangle|111\rangle+|\psi_{-}\rangle|010\rangle-|\phi_{+}\rangle|100\rangle-|\phi_{-}\rangle|
000\rangle];\nonumber \\
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{13}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{+}\rangle|100\rangle-|\psi_{-}\rangle|000\rangle-|\phi_{-}\rangle|010\rangle+|\phi_{+}\rangle|
111\rangle];
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{14}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{-}\rangle|100\rangle-|\psi_{+}\rangle|000\rangle+|\phi_{+}\rangle|010\rangle-|\phi_{-}\rangle|
111\rangle];\nonumber \\
|\psi_{5}\rangle_{15}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{-}\rangle|100\rangle-|\psi_{+}\rangle|000\rangle-|\phi_{+}\rangle|010\rangle+|\phi_{-}\rangle|

|\psi_{5}\rangle_{16}=\frac{1}{2}[|\psi_{+}\rangle|100\rangle-|\psi_{-}\rangle|000\rangle+|\phi_{-}\rangle|010\rangle-|\phi_{+}\rangle|
111\rangle].
\end{eqnarray}

Alice can make a five-particle measurement and then convey her
results to Bob. Bob then retrieves the original state
$|\psi\rangle_{b}$ by applying any one of the unitary transforms
shown in Table \ref{tab1} to the respective states. As is evident,
each of the above states are obtained with equal probability. This
successfully completes the teleportation protocol of a two qubit
state using $|\psi_{5}\rangle$.

\section{Superdense coding}
We now proceed to show the utility of $|\psi_{5}\rangle$ for
superdense coding. Entanglement is quite handy in communicating
information efficiently, in a quantum channel. Suppose Alice and
Bob share an entangled state, namely $|\psi>_{AB}$, then Alice can
convert her state into different orthogonal states by applying
suitable unitary transforms on her particle \cite{Wiesner}. Bob
then does appropriate Bell measurements on his qubits to retrieve
the encoded information. It is known that two classical bits per
qubit can be exchanged by sending information through a Bell
state. In this section, we shall discuss the suitability of
$|\psi_5\rangle$, as a resource for superdense coding. Let us
assume that Alice has first three qubits, and Bob has last two
qubits. Alice can apply the set of unitary transforms on her
particle and generate $64$ states out of which $32$ are mutually
orthogonal as shown below:

\begin{equation}
U^{3}_{x}\otimes I\otimes I\rightarrow|\psi_{5}\rangle_{x_{i}}.
\end{equation}

Bob can then perform a five-partite measurement in the basis of
$|\psi_{5}\rangle_{x_{i}}$ and distinguish these states. The
appropriate unitary transforms applied and the respective states
obtained by Alice are shown in the Table \ref{tab2}.

\begin{table}[h]

by Alice after performing unitary operations $U^{3}_{x}$}

The capacity of superdense coding is defined as,

\begin{equation}
X(\rho^{AB})=log_{2}d_{A}+S(\rho^{B})-S(\rho^{AB}),
\end{equation}

where $d_{A}$ is the dimension of Alice's system, $S(\rho)$ is
von-Neumann entropy. For the state $|\psi_{5}\rangle$,
$X(\rho^{AB})=3+2-0=5$. The Holevo bound of a multipartite quantum
state gives the maximum amount of classical information that can
be encoded \cite{Bruss}. It is equal to five, for the five-qubit
state ($log_{2}N$). Thus, the super dense coding reaches the
"Holevo bound" allowing five classical bits to be transmitted
through three quantum bits.

\section{Conclusion}

We have illustrated an example of a TMES for teleportation
of an unknown single and two qubit states. This state is also a
very useful resource for superdense coding. The superdense coding
capacity for the state reaches Holevo bound of five classical
bits. This also gives a picture, about what kind of lesser
entangled states could be useful for teleportation and superdense
coding. The study of the decoherence properties of this state and the
Brown state also needs careful investigation in case of any practical application.
The usefulness of $|\psi_{5}\rangle$ , and the Brown state for many other
applications like the Quantum error correction and one way quantum computing
needs extensive investigation. The physical realization of these states
in laboratory conditions is yet another challenge.

Home Rowe-Barr Collection of Texas Currency Republic of Texas $50.00 (fifty dollars) star note
Republic of Texas $50.00 (fifty dollars) star note
Title Republic of Texas $50.00 (fifty dollars) star note
County of Origin Harris County
Place of Issue Houston
Currency Type Star Note
Bank/Issuer Republic of Texas
Date Nov 4th 1837.
Notes This star note was issued in Houston by the Republic of Texas. The first formal currency of the Republic was poorly printed and easily counterfeited. Only $514,510.00 was issued late in 1837 and in January 1838. All were signed by William Gordon Cooke for Sam Houston, President, and by Henry Smith, Secretary of the Treasury. Seven rows of printed emblems decorate the left and right borders of the note with two rows across the top and bottom edges. The phrase 'REPUBLIC OF TEXAS.' is printed within the left border, and the phrase 'FIFTY DOLLARS.' is printed within the right. A five-point star appears in the upper-center of the note. The abbreviation 'No.' is printed to the left of the star; the number '176' is handwritten adjacent to it. The number '50' is printed in a box-style design consisting of a double box of printer emblems on each side of the number in the upper-left corner of the note, while the Roman numeral 'L' is printed in a similar design in the upper-right corner. The amount 'FIFTY DOLLARS,' is printed in the center of the note. The year '1837' is printed on the note. The probable issue of all varieties is 2,000. The note is also signed on the verso by Cooke. Houston was a famous statesman, two-time president of the Republic of Texas, United States senator from Texas, and governor of Texas (TSHA). Smith was known as the first American governor of Texas during the provisional government operating from November 15, 1835 until March 1, 1836, as well as secretary of the treasury during Sam Houston's term as president, and a member of the House of Representatives during the Republic (TSHA). Cooke was a soldier who held numerous positions in the military, including that as Houston's assistant inspector general, as well as stock commissioner during Houston's first term as president of the Republic, at which time Cooke was responsible for issuing stock certificates to fund the public debt (TSHA). From June 1837 to November 1839, Cooke was the official signer of Sam Houston's name to promissory notes issued by the Republic due to Houston's arm injury (TSHA). CR: H-7.

Cecilia went to the Cinema ever so often, with the popcorn in her hands and a glow in her eyes as she saw perfection played out onscreen. Oh how beautiful it was to see glamour and beauty and heroes and Jazz and happy endings.
Real life was quite the opposite. In the real world, she was an unhappy, nervous waitress with an unemployed, abusive husband during the Great Depression who lived in New Jersey. The Movies for Cecilia provided the only escape from her sad excuse of a life. She would keep trying to leave her pathetic, unappreciative, alcoholic, gambling, beating bum that was her husband, Monk, but he was always right when he said she'd come back.
However, one day, this new movie called The Purple Rose of Cairo came to town. She went the first night alone and again the second night with her fellow-waitress sister. She felt more than lost in the movie with the dashing Gil Sheperd playing Tom Baxter- of the Chicago Baxters, explorer, and adventurer. The third day unfortunately, when she was all sad about not being able to leave her husband again and extra nervous in the restaurant, she dropped her third plate and got fired. As real world became way too horrible and well, real for her she went to her usual Utopia- the Cinema to watch The Purple Rose of Cairo again, and again, and again. Except the fifth time something very unusual happened.
Tom Baxter looked at her and spoke to her right through the screen. She and the rest of the audience were shocked! As were the other characters in the movie. And then the most amazing thing happened when he walked right through the screen...into the real world for our Cecilia.
Tom and Cecilia ran to a closed-down amusement park where Tom declared his love for her. Cecilia couldn't believe how perfect he was! They went dancing later that night after Cecilia made an excuse to Monk to get out. He gave her the most perfect kiss in the world.
But the real world and the reel world shouldn't meet. While Cecilia and Tom were frisking in the pros of such a rendezvous, the other characters, the cinema owner, the producer and Gil Sheperd were facing a lot of problem. They all came to New Jersey, that is the real people, to find a solution. It is then that Cecilia meets Gil the next morning.
She was totally spellbound. He was her favourite actor and she couldn't believe her luck. Gil is very flattered by her and begs her to take him to Tom. Cecilia reluctantly agrees and then when both men meet, they start fighting as Tom declares that he wants to be a free man in the real world and live with his love Cecilia and Gil tells him that he is fictional and cannot do so because, "You can't learn to be real, it's like learning to be a midget. It's not a thing you can learn." But Tom still doesn't want to leave. So he and Cecilia go walking around the town. Tom learns about child-birth and God and how God was like the writers Irvine Sachs and R.H. Levine. At the Church Monk confronts them and Tom and he get into a fight in which Tom loses only because the 'real' Monk plays unfair. Cecilia stands up to Monk and saves Tom, who doesn't have a scratch or a single hair out of place, as those are the advantages of being imaginary.
When Cecilia gets back home, she sees Gil over there. They talk even more and she woos him completely, unintentionally of course. They go by a music store where he buys her a ukulele and sings to her music. Then they recite out lines from his musical after which he kisses her but she leaves him because according to her, "I met a wonderful new man. He's fictional but you can't have everything."
When she returns to Tom, he takes her back to the Cinema where they both enter the screen and go to the Copacabana and introduce the concept of 'free world'. Then they hit New York as they go to all the clubs and all the shows and dance the night away, completely in black and white and love. But then Gil comes to the Cinema and asks Cecilia to come with him to Hollywood. Tom tries to stop her and tell her how he is honest, dependable, courageous, and romantic and a great kisser but Gil wins the argument by saying that he is real. Cecilia chooses the real guy over the fictional one as she explains to Tom how "in his world, things have a way of always working out." Tom feels crushed, goes back into the screen, and watches on as Cecilia leaves with Gil.
She rushes home and packs up her bag to leave as Monk tries to stop her but then screams out that she'll be back as she leaves. And as she reaches the Cinema where Gil had promised to meet her, she finds out he left with everyone else as soon as Tom went back into the screen. She walks into the Cinema to watch the next movie, Top Hat with Fred Astaire and Gigi Rogers singing "Dancing Cheek to Cheek" as she forgets her blues and the real world and how she too danced cheek to cheek with Tom, and gets mesmerised by the Movies all-over again.
The Purple Rose of Cairo is made by the brilliant Woody Allen, who is rapidly becoming my favourite filmmaker. The gorgeous Mia Farrow plays the woeful and lovely Cecilia and Jeff Daniels plays the perfect Tom (though fictional) and the heartbreaking actor Gil.
This movie was so very special. It reminded me of all those films during the course of which we want to live and die. Marie Antoinette for example- the complete beauty and atmosphere and setting and music and clothes and food was so mesmerising that one cannot hope enough for life to be like that. Even Twilight, when I saw it first and knew nothing of it and what it will turn into, was so unrealistic and desirable with the unnatural blueness, and the romance and everything. Obviously now I find it revolting but it was almost magical in the beginning. Also Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist- the incredibly pretty Kat Dennings and oh so cute Michael Cera and the entire brilliance of the one night was what makes one want to live for.
However, the sad and real ending of The Purple Rose of Cairo was more heart wrenching than most of the films I have ever seen. I loathed and loved it at the same time as it shows the unrealistic feel of the real world and the perfect life-like appeal of the reel world. When it was over all I could think of was this sort-of speech of Andy Warhol's after he had been shot and truly understood what he meant.
"Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there. I always suspected that I was watching television instead of real life. People sometimes say that the way things happen in movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television-you don't feel anything. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew I was watching television. The channels switch but it's all television."

THE TAIL OF ELEANOR RIGBY


Hasbro had three events at New York Comic Con this year, an invite only press event, a live stream announcement on the SyFy stage on Friday afternoon, and a panel presentation Sunday afternoon. They announced several new items for the Black Series 6″ line as well as The Vintage Collection during those events. You can see our recording of the Friday live stream on our YouTube channel and we'll have the recorded Sunday panel online shortly.
New Black Series figures announced during Comic Con include the following. If the figure is an exclusive, the retailer is listed in parenthesis.
The Luke Skywalker Stormtrooper figure is interesting in that the wet hair head sculpt was originally planned for the first release of the figure but cost kept it out. It was shown in a large diorama that Hasbro had on display at the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con and their own HASCON event in Rhode Island. You can see the figure in the photos we posted of the diorama from HASCON.
The Vintage Collection line had fewer new announcements but we also found out about some classic TVC figures that will be coming back. Figures that were previously released will come on the same card back with the same numbering scheme. They're listed separately in the list below.
Previously announced figures, VC-132 Yak Face and VC-135 Klaatu (Skiff Guard), were on display at the press event as well.

The long awaited Sassmannshaus method Early Start on the Double Bass is now here. At last students of the largest instrument in the string family can make use of this tried and tested method for beginners, developed by Egon Sassmannshaus for the other string instruments and applied here to the double bass by Holger Sassmannshaus and J. Peter Close. This method will meet the needs of the growing number of young bass students.
Early Start on the Double Bass encompasses everything that one would expect from a Sassmannshaus method: an easy start, progression at a suitable rate, many cross-references to the other string instruments, songs and scales in different positions from early on, as well as many duets. Lively and colourful illustrations by Charlotte Panowsky complete the edition.
The third volume builds a fluent left-hand technique for playing up to the sixth position. As always, each new position is first practiced by itself with well-known songs and exercises, then combined with familiar positions in new duets and pieces, extending the left-hand technique in a logical progression. Scales are now also played in minor keys. Varied bow strokes and patterns (legato, portato, staccato, marcato, martelé, martellato) are introduced. The third finger is used for the first time. The collection presents works by Eccles, Charpentier, Krieger, J. S. Bach, Boismortier, Handel, Telemann, Graupner, Hasse, Chedeville, Haydn, Mozart, Kummer, Schubert, Schumann, Diabelli, Ries, Saint-Saens, Schlemueller, Romberg, Baklanova, and Furtok. An inserted booklet offers piano accompaniments to 7 pieces.
Early Start on the Double Bass, Volume 3 / Fruher Anfang auf dem Kontrabass, Band 3 by J. Peter Close / Holger Sassmannshaus. For double bass (+ piano). This edition: Stapled. Barenreiter's Sassmannshaus. Instructional Method. Performance score, Part(s), Teaching material. Text language: English/German. 64/16 pages. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA9663).

TECH TUESDAY: Analysing Mercedes' Hockenheim upgrade - and why it matters for Hungary
Technical Contributors

'It's important to be wanted' – Webber shares insight into Piastri's mindset during Alpine/McLaren contract battle
Hockenheim saw major aerodynamic upgrades from two teams, Mercedes and Racing Point. The second part of the Racing Point upgrade is expected to appear at the Hungaroring this weekend and so is perhaps best considered all together at that time.
But the Mercedes update arrived in Hockenheim not only complete but incorporating two different cooling packages, one of which was used in the extreme heat of Friday, with what will be the standard package then fitted from Saturday onwards.
The aero upgrade and the cooling package should be considered as two separate developments...
Aero upgrade
The aero upgrade package comprised new front wing (shown below), bargeboards, floor and rear wing endplates. The two upper elements of the front wing have been made less deep, bringing a reduction in the total depth of the wing at the outboard ends. This has brought the trailing edge of the top element much further forward relative to the trailing edge of the endplate.
This creation of space between the rearmost element and the front wheel will have the effect of enhancing the outwash of airflow around the wheel, moving away slightly from the extreme that Merc's original full-depth wing represented. A small detail change can be seen in a new cut-out slot at the back of the endplate's foot section and this is likely creating a small vortex that enhances the outwash effect of the new element arrangement.
Moving back from there, the barge board vanes have been re-angled and reshaped – not in a way that visually tells us what the effect will be, but which will be part of the reworked flow from the new front wing package. Now that outwash airflow is getting more boost from the front wing, so it will have allowed more manipulation of the inboard flow.
The sidepods have been subtly reshaped to give slightly bigger radiator inlets. They now extend outwards, with a slight outward angle as viewed from above, so as to give a greater air capture. Mercedes realised as early as winter testing that the cooling capacity was not as great as had been hoped and had spent some time trying to speed up the throughput of air to compensate before it became apparent that there was no alternative but to increase the radiator size.

Taking more of the flow over the front wing outwards (the outwash) will have freed up some air pressure that can be usefully devoted to the inboard flow through the barge boards and down the body sides, so going some way to compensating for the greater blockage of the bigger radiators. This downforce creation will come at the cost of extra drag, however, and there has been a concerted effort, with the rear wing endplate design, to claw back some of that drag increase.
The draggiest part of a rear wing is the outboard tip where big drag-inducing vortices form off the corner. In some parts of the car vortices are an aerodynamicist's friend and are deliberately induced to speed up airflow. But in others – such as the rear wing tips – they are a negative, adding drag without adding downforce.
The new rear wing endplate shown above features a staircase-style of six small vortex generators, sweeping upwards towards the end tip of the wing. It's probable that these smaller vortices will have the effect of breaking up the bigger drag-inducing vortex off that wing corner.
Cooling package
Within the new aero upgrade, there was an extreme cooling package and a standard one used on Friday and Saturday onwards respectively.
The extreme package features more fully open outlets aft of the cockpit. The standard version has a less aerodynamically-disruptive slot opening behind a less open main outlet. At the back, the extreme version has more space between the crash structure and bodywork to allow the hot air to escape.
As F1 now heads to Budapest, traditionally one of the most demanding tracks for cooling on the calendar because of the combination of summer heat and short straights, Mercedes will be seeking to learn more about their new aero package – but now at least with the consolation of being adequately cooled.

LOVE IT!!! Very well said!! You have a gift for words!!! AND our family is Blessed to have you as part of it!!!
Thanks MIL! I feel the same way about each of you!
That's awesome Deanna…and thank you very much!


Believe it or not I came up with this recipe because I always had too much beer in my house! My father-in-law Harvey worked for a brewery so he would get several cases of free beer every month. He didn't drink so he gave it to us. We always had WAY to much beer on hand (rough life right! lol) so I came up with several recipe as a way to use up some of that beer. These are easy to make and not too sweet...give them a try.
I'm pretty unorthodox in the way I make cinnamon buns so bear with me. My way is much less fussy and substantially easier... trust me it works.
Mix the dry ingredient together (yes even the yeast) in a large mixing bowl and give them a little whisk.
Now pour the wet ingredients over the dry and give a good stir. I use my hands for this...it's messy but it gets the job done.
Throw some flour on your counter and put the dough on top of it. If it's super sticky you can sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough. It should be the consistency of soft play dough at this point. Start kneading the dough, if it's still sticky keep adding little bits of flour until you get it the right consistency. I usually knead for about 10 minutes. You can do this in your Kitchen-Aid if you have one but I like doing it by hand.
Pop your dough ball back into your mixing bowl (no need to wash it first) and cover with saran wrap. Place the bowl in your oven with NO HEAT but the oven light turned on for a bit of warmth. Keep it in the oven until the dough doubles in size...usually about an hour or so. It will depend on how warm your house is.
Once the dough has risen enough take it out of the oven and turn the dough out onto your counter again. Make sure there is still some flour dusted on it.
Now roll out your dough into a thin rectangle. Brush with the room temperature butter, sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the layer of butter and then sprinkle the cinnamon on top of the brown sugar.
Starting at one end, tightly roll up the dough making sure to pinch the long seam side together with your fingers and then placing it seam side down.
Place the pieces into a buttered oven safe baking dish lined with parchment paper. Make sure you leave some space around each piece so it has room to rise.
Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size...It usually takes about an hour or so. Inside the oven with the light on is a good place...just do NOT turn the oven on!
When they have almost risen enough take them out of the oven.
When the oven is preheated put the cinnamon buns back in the oven and bake them for about 20 minutes or until they are just turning golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
Mix the icing sugar and vanilla in a bowl and add just enough water to make a runny icing. Now just drizzle this over your slightly cooled cinnamon buns. YUMMY!!!!!
