\section{Introduction}

A sequences of independent random variables, each of which takes only the
values $\pm 1$, is called a Rademacher sequence.
Dirichlet series or Taylor series whose coefficients include Rademacher type of
variables are studied, for example, in Kahane \cite{Kah}.

In the present paper we study a multiple analogue of Rademacher sequences and
associated Dirichlet series.  Let
$m_1,\ldots,m_r\in{\Bbb N}$, and let $\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}$ be independent
random variables which take only the values $\pm 1$ and are
defined on a certain probability space $(\Omega,P)$. Let

\begin{align}\label{1-1}
P(\omega\in\Omega\;|\;\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}(\omega)=1)
=P(\omega\in\Omega\;|\;\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}(\omega)=-1)=\frac{1}{2}.
\end{align}
The sequence $\{\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}\;|\;m_1,\ldots,m_r\in{\Bbb N}\}$
may be called a Rademacher sequence of $r$-tuple indices.
The associated multiple Dirichlet series can be defined as
\begin{align}\label{1-2}
F_r(s,\omega)=\sum_{m_1=1}^{\infty}\cdots\sum_{m_r=1}^{\infty}
\frac{\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}(\omega)X(m_1,\ldots,m_r)}{(m_1+\cdots+m_r)^s},
\end{align}
where $s\in{\Bbb C}$ and $X(m_1,\ldots,m_r)\in{\Bbb R}$.

As an example, we will treat the case where
$X(m_1,\ldots,m_r)$ is a product of the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(\cdot)$,
that is
\begin{align}\label{1-3}
\Phi_r(s,\omega)=\sum_{m_1=1}^{\infty}\cdots\sum_{m_r=1}^{\infty}
\frac{\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}(\omega)\Lambda(m_1)\cdots\Lambda(m_r)}
{(m_1+\cdots+m_r)^s}.
\end{align}
The Dirichlet series
\begin{align}\label{1-4}
\Phi_r(s)=\sum_{m_1=1}^{\infty}\cdots\sum_{m_r=1}^{\infty}
\frac{\Lambda(m_1)\cdots\Lambda(m_r)}{(m_1+\cdots+m_r)^s}
\end{align}
is connected with the problem of expressing positive integers as a sum of $r$
prime numbers and the analytic properties of $\Phi_r(s)$ have been
studied actively in the recent past (see \cite{Bh} for references).

In the present paper we discuss the natural boundary of \eqref{1-2} and
\eqref{1-3}, and our
result for the random series could be compared with those of the correspondind
ordinary  Dirichlet series.

\section{The natural boundary}

First we write $F_r(s,\omega)$ in a form of single Dirichlet series:
\begin{align}\label{2-1}
F_r(s,\omega)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}Y_r(n,\omega)n^{-s},
\end{align}
where
\begin{align}\label{2-2}
Y_r(n,\omega)=\sum_{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}(\omega)
    X(m_1,\ldots,m_r).
\end{align}
Since $\epsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}$ are independent variables, we see that
$Y_r(n,\omega)$ are also independent of each other.

For each fixed $\omega\in\Omega$, the series \eqref{2-1} is a Dirichlet series,
so we can find its abscissa of convergence $\sigma_c(F_r,\omega)$.   Then, according to
the zero-one law, we can find a constant $\sigma_c(F_r)$ such that
$\sigma_c(F_r,\omega)=\sigma_c(F_r)$ almost surely
(see \cite[Section 6 of Chapter 4]{Kah}).
In general $-\infty\leq\sigma_c(F_r) \leq\infty$, but here we assume
$-\infty<\sigma_c(F_r)<\infty$.   Our main result in this section is as follows.

\begin{thm}\label{th-1}
The line $\Re s=\sigma_c(F_r)$ is the natural boundary of $F_r(s,\omega)$ almost
surely.
\end{thm}

\begin{proof}
We say that $Y_r(n,\omega)$ is symmetric if $Y_r(n,\omega)$ and $-Y_r(n,\omega)$
have the same distribution.   We prove that $Y_r(n,\omega)$ is symmetric;
and the conclusion then follows immediately from the expression
\eqref{2-1} and \cite[Theorem 4 in Section 6 of Chapter 4]{Kah}.

Let $L(n)$ be the number of tuples $(m_1,\ldots, m_r)$ satisfying
$m_1+\cdots+m_r=n$.
Let ${\bf b}$ be any tuple of $L(n)$ elements,  each element being  1 or
$-1$.   Write ${\bf b}=(b_{m_1,\ldots, m_r})_{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}$, where
$b_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}\in\{\pm 1\}$.
Define
$$
Z_r(n,{\bf b})=\sum_{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}b_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}X(m_1,\ldots, m_r).
$$
Let $A$ be any Borel subset of ${\Bbb R}$, and let ${\cal B}(A)$ be
the set of all ${\bf b}$ such that $Z_r(n,{\bf b})\in A$.   Then
\begin{align}\label{2-3}
\begin{split}
&P(\omega\in\Omega\;|\; Y_r(n,\omega)\in A)\\
&=\sum_{{\bf b}\in{\cal B}(A)}P\left(\omega\in\Omega\;|\;
  (\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}(\omega))_{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}={\bf b}\right).
\end{split}
\end{align}
Since $\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}$ are independent, we have
\begin{align}\label{2-4}
P\left(\omega\in\Omega\;|\;
  (\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}(\omega))_{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}={\bf b}\right)
=2^{-L(n)},
\end{align}
and the same equality holds if we replace ${\bf b}$ by $-{\bf b}$.
Therefore the right-hand side of \eqref{2-3} is equal to
\begin{align*}
&\sum_{{\bf b}\in{\cal B}(A)}P\left(\omega\in\Omega\;|\;
  (\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots, m_r}(\omega))_{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}=-{\bf b}\right)\\
&=P(\omega\in\Omega\;|\; Y_r(n,\omega)\in -A).
\end{align*}
This implies that two random variables $Y_r(n,\omega)$ and $-Y_r(n,\omega)$
have the same distribution.
\end{proof}

\section{The case of Goldbach generating functions}

In this section we consider the special case \eqref{1-3}.  The function $\Phi_r(s)$ defined by \eqref{1-4}
is the generating function of
\begin{align}\label{3-1}
G_r(n)=\sum_{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}\Lambda(m_1)\cdots\Lambda(m_r).
\end{align}
The series $\Phi_r(s)$ was introduced in \cite{EM} where it was
conjectured that:

\bigskip

\noindent (C-$r$) the line $\Re s=r-1$ would be the natural boundary of
$\Phi_r(s)$.
\bigskip

The conjecture is out of reach for the moment. However one can say
more under the RH and other
reasonable
ones on the zeros of the Riemann zeta function like the following due to
Fujii \cite{Fuj91a} :

\bigskip

\noindent (Z) Let ${\cal I}$ be the set of all imaginary parts of
non-trivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$. If $\gamma_j\in{\cal I}$
($1\leq j\leq 4$) and $\gamma_1+\gamma_2=\gamma_3+\gamma_4\neq 0$, then
$\{\gamma_1,\gamma_2\}=\{\gamma_3,\gamma_4\}$.
\bigskip

\noindent In \cite{EM} and  \cite{BSP3}, it was
shown that (C-2) is indeed true under the RH and
a certain quantitative version of (Z)
or (Z) itself. The case of (C-r) is shown to be true if and only if
(C-2) is.

The reason of introducing the random series \eqref{1-3} is to observe
the situation from a stochastic viewpoint.   Let
\begin{align}\label{3-5}
G_r(n,\omega)=\sum_{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots,m_r}(\omega)
\Lambda(m_1)\cdots\Lambda(m_r).
\end{align}
Then
\begin{align}\label{3-6}
|G_r(n,\omega)|\leq n^{r-1}(\log n)^r,
\end{align}
and hence \eqref{1-3}, which can be
written as
\begin{align}\label{3-7}
\Phi_r(s,\omega)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}G_r(n,\omega)n^{-s},
\end{align}
is absolutely convergent for $\Re s>r$.   We will show:

\begin{thm}\label{th-2}
The random series \eqref{3-7} converges for $\Re s>r/2$ almost surely.
\end{thm}

We will prove this theorem in the next section.
In particular this theorem implies $\sigma_c(\Phi_r,\omega)\leq r/2$ almost surely,
and hence $\sigma_c(\Phi_r)\leq r/2$.   The lower-bound of $\sigma_c(\Phi_r)$
will be discussed in Section 5.

\section {Proof of Theorem \ref{th-2}}

Let $E(\cdot)$ denote the expected value, and $V(\cdot)$ the variance.
Write $X_n=G_r(n,\omega)n^{-s}$.   From \eqref{3-6} we see that
\begin{align}\label{4-1}
\int_{\Omega}|X_n|^2 d\omega\leq \left(\frac{n^{r-1}(\log n)^r}{n^{\sigma}}
\right)^2\int_{\Omega} d\omega<+\infty,
\end{align}
that is $X_n\in L^2(\Omega)$.

We use Theorem 2 in \cite[Section 2 of Chapter 3]{Kah}, which asserts that if
$X_n\in L^2(\Omega)$ are independent random variables satisfying
$E(X_n)=0$ and $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}V(X_n)<+\infty$, then $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}X_n$
converges almost surely.

Since
\begin{align}\label{4-2}
E(X_n)=\frac{1}{n^s}\sum_{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}\Lambda(m_1)\cdots\Lambda(m_r)
\int_{\Omega}\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots,m_r}(\omega)d\omega,
\end{align}
and $\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots,m_r}$ is an element of a Rademacher sequence, it
is obvious that $E(X_n)=0$ for any $n$.
Next consider
$V(X_n)=E(|X_n-E(X_n)|^2)=E(|X_n|^2)$.   We see that
\begin{align}\label{4-3}
\begin{split}
V(X_n)&=\frac{1}{n^{2\sigma}}\sum_{{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}\atop{m'_1+\cdots+m'_r=n}}
\Lambda(m_1)\cdots\Lambda(m_r)\Lambda(m'_1)\cdots\Lambda(m'_r)\\
&\times\int_{\Omega}\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots,m_r}(\omega)
\varepsilon_{m'_1,\ldots,m'_r}(\omega)d\omega.
\end{split}
\end{align}
If $(m_1,\ldots,m_r)\neq(m'_1,\ldots,m'_r)$, then
$$
P(\omega\in\Omega\;|\;\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots,m_r}(\omega)=\pm 1,
\;\varepsilon_{m'_1,\ldots,m'_r}(\omega)=\pm 1)=\frac{1}{4}
$$
for any choice of double signs, hence
$$
\int_{\Omega}\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots,m_r}(\omega)
\varepsilon_{m'_1,\ldots,m'_r}(\omega)d\omega=0.
$$
Therefore
\begin{align}\label{4-4}
\begin{split}
V(X_n)&=\frac{1}{n^{2\sigma}}\sum_{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}\Lambda(m_1)^2\cdots
\Lambda(m_r)^2 \int_{\Omega}\varepsilon_{m_1,\ldots,m_r}(\omega)^2d\omega\\
&=\frac{1}{n^{2\sigma}}\sum_{m_1+\cdots+m_r=n}\Lambda(m_1)^2\cdots
\Lambda(m_r)^2,
\end{split}
\end{align}
and the sum on the right-hand side can be estimated as
$\leq n^{r-1}(\log n)^{2r}$.   Therefore
\begin{align}\label{4-5}
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}V(X_n)\leq \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}n^{r-1-2\sigma}(\log n)^{2r},
\end{align}
which is convergent if $\sigma> r/2$.   This implies the assertion of
Theorem \ref{th-2}.

\section{The  abscissa of  convergence of $\Phi_r(s,\omega)$}

Theorem \ref{th-2} gives the upper-bound $\sigma_c(\Phi_r)\leq r/2$.
In this section we comment on its lower-bound.   Since $G_r$ is symmetric
(as we have seen in the proof of Theorem \ref{th-1}), we have the criterion that
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}X_n$ converges almost surely if and only if
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}V(X'_n)$
converges, where
\begin{align}\label{5-1}
X'_n(\omega)=\left\{
   \begin{array}{lll}
     X_n(\omega) & {\rm if} & |X_n(\omega)|\leq 1 \\
     X_n(\omega)/|X_n(\omega)| & {\rm if} & |X_n(\omega)|>1
\end{array}
\right.
\end{align}
(\cite[Theorem 7 in Section 5 of Chapter 3]{Kah}).

In the case $r=1$, we have $X_n(\omega)=\varepsilon_n(\omega)\Lambda(n)n^{-s}$.
Hence if $\sigma>0$ then $|X_n(\omega)|\leq 1$ for sufficiently large $n$, so
we may assume $X'_n=X_n$ if $\sigma>0$.   From \eqref{4-4} we have
\begin{align}\label{5-2}
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}V(X_n)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\Lambda(n)^2}{n^{2\sigma}},
\end{align}
which is convergent if and only if $\sigma>1/2$.   This implies that
$\sigma_c(\Phi_1)=1/2$, and hence, by Theorem \ref{th-1}, the line $\Re s=1/2$ is
the natural boundary of $\Phi_1(s,\omega)$ almost surely.

Next consider the case $r=2$.   Then
$$
X_n(\omega)=\frac{1}{n^s}\sum_{m_1+m_2=n}\varepsilon_{m_1,m_2}\Lambda(m_1)
\Lambda(m_2).
$$
If $\sigma>1$ then we may assume $X'_n=X_n$ for sufficiently large $n$.
>From \eqref{4-4} we have
\begin{align}\label{5-3}
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}V(X_n)=\sum_{m_1+m_2=n}\frac{\Lambda(m_1)^2\Lambda(m_2)^2}
{n^{2\sigma}},
\end{align}
whose right-hand side is
\begin{align}\label{5-4}
\geq \frac{1}{n^{2\sigma}}\sum_{{p_i,p_2:{\rm prime}}\atop{p_1+p_2=n}}
(\log p_1)^2(\log p_2)^2
\gg \frac{(\log n)^2}{n^{2\sigma}}\sum_{{p_i,p_2:{\rm prime}}\atop{p_1+p_2=n}}1,
\end{align}
because one of $p_1$ or $p_2$ is $\geq n/2$.
If the Hardy-Littlewood conjectural asymptotic formula for the Goldbach
conjecture is true, then the last sum of \eqref{5-4} is
$\gg n(\log n)^{-2}$.   This implies that \eqref{5-3} diverges for $\sigma=1$.
Though $\sigma=1$ is out of the range where $X'_n=X_n$ is valid, this argument
suggests that $\sigma_c(\Phi_2)=1$, and hence $\Re s=1$ would be the natural boundary
of $\Phi_2(s,\omega)$ almost surely.

The above observation in the cases $r=1$ and $r=2$ further suggests that, even
in the case $r\geq 3$, perhaps $\sigma_c(\Phi_r)=r/2$ would hold.
It is to be noted that Theorem \ref{th-2} says,
in the case $r\geq 3$, $\Phi_r(s,\omega)$ is convergent almost surely beyond the
(conjectural) natural boundary (C-r) of $\Phi_r(s)$.

\section{Random series in two variables}

So far we have discussed random multiple series in one variable.   But it is
also possible to consider multi-variable random series.   Recently, in the
theory of multiple zeta-functions, various multi-variable multiple series
have come to play important roles; therefore it is desirable to understand
the multi-variable random series.   In this section, as the simplest example,
we consider certain two variable random series and prove an analogue of our
Theorem \ref{th-1}.

Let $s_1$, $s_2$ be complex variables, $a(m,n)\in{\Bbb R}$, and
$\varepsilon_{m,n}$ be independent Rademacher random variables as in the
previous sections.   We consider the following random double Dirichlet series:
\begin{align}\label{6-1}
F_2(s_1,s_2;\omega)=\sum_{m=1}^{\infty}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a(m,n)
\varepsilon_{m,n}(\omega)m^{-s_1}n^{-s_2}.
\end{align}
Outside the domain of absolute convergence, the order of the
above summation is to be understood as
\begin{align}\label{6-2}
F_2(s_1,s_2;\omega)=\sum_{r=1}^{\infty}Q_r(s_1,s_2;\omega),
\end{align}
where
$$
Q_r(s_1,s_2;\omega)=\sum_{mn=r}a(m,n)\varepsilon_{m,n}(\omega)m^{-s_1}n^{-s_2}.
$$
The event of ``convergence'' of \eqref{6-2} does not depend on finitely many
numbers of Rademacher variables, hence we can use the zero-one law
(\cite[Section 6 of Chapter 1]{Kah}) to find that the probability of
\eqref{6-2} being convergent everywhere, and of being convergent nowhere, are
both either 0 or 1.   We assume that both of these probabilities are 0.   Then for almost
all $\omega\in\Omega$, \eqref{6-2} is convergent on a certain non-empty proper
subset $D(\omega)$ of ${\Bbb C}^2$.   This is called the domain of convergence
of $F_2(s_1,s_2;\omega)$.   The domain $D(\omega)$ satisfies the convex property
in the sense that if $(s_1^0,s_2^0)\in D(\omega)$, then any point $(s_1,s_2)$
satisfying $\Re s_1\geq \Re s_1^0$, $\Re s_2\geq \Re s_2^0$ also belongs to
$D(\omega)$.
Again by the zero-one law, we find that there exists
a certain non-empty proper subset $D$ of ${\Bbb C}^2$, such that
$D(\omega)=D$ almost surely.

\begin{thm}\label{th-3}
The boundary $\partial D$ of the set $D$ is almost surely the natural boundary of
$F_2(s_1,s_2;\omega)$ .
\end{thm}

\begin{proof}
This theorem can be proved analogously to \cite[Theorem 3 in Section 5 of
Chapter 4]{Kah}, so we just give a sketch.

Let $(\zeta_1,\zeta_2)\in\partial D$, and consider
$\Psi(z,\omega)=\sum_{r=1}^{\infty}Q_r(\zeta_1,\zeta_2;\omega)r^{-z}$.
Obviously $\sigma_c(\Psi,\omega)\leq 0$.   Let $\delta>0$, and let
$z_0\in{\Bbb C}$, $-\delta<\Re z_0<0$.
Then $\Psi(z_0,\omega)$ is not convergent, so there are infinitely many
$(m,n)$ for which
$$
   |a(m,n)|m^{-\Re\zeta_1}n^{-\Re\zeta_2}\leq (mn)^{-\delta-1}
$$
holds.    Using the Paley-Zygmund inequality (\cite[Section 3 of Chapter 3]{Kah})
we find that there are infinitely many $r$ for which
$$
P(A_r)>\frac{1}{3}(1-\lambda^2)^2
$$
holds, where $0<\lambda<1$ and
$A_r=\{\omega\in\Omega\;|\;|Q_r(s_1,s_2;\omega)|>\lambda r^{-\delta-1}\}$.
This implies $\sum_r P(A_r)=\infty$, so by the lemma of Borel-Cantelli we
find that there are infinitely many $r$ satisfying
$|Q_r(s_1,s_2;\omega)||>\lambda r^{-\delta-1}$
almost surely.  This gives $\sigma_c(\Psi,\omega)\geq -\delta$.
Therefore we can conclude that $\sigma_c(\Psi,\omega)=0$ almost surely,
hence by Theorem \ref{th-1}, $\Re z=0$ is the natural boundary of
$\Psi(z,\omega)$ almost surely.   That is, $(\zeta_1,\zeta_2)$ is singular
almost surely, which implies the desired assertion.
\end{proof}

Two of our children were born on the same day five years apart. Chloe predicted Rickie would arrive on "her" birthday, she was correct and the day has been jointly celebrated since. We held the co-celebrations all day Saturday and well into the night.
As I have mentioned before Chloe fought for her life to enter this world arriving a month early with her tiny arm under the umbilical cord wrapped tightly around her neck and Rickie fighting for his life since with Cystic Fibrosis, a godless disease. Both children are fighters! Rickie and I are both X'ing days off the calendar, because of technology. The energetic lad must interrupt his day in the morning and evening when he dawns a vest connected to a compressor that shakes the hell out of his chest while he inhales outrageously priced nebulizers. Our champ never complains, maybe -procrastinates, but I can't blame him. Challenges await.
Both invited friends over for the day and night. I get tickled listening to Rickie's buddies get excited. The gang has reached different stages of puberty, a shrill voice, a cracking voice and a voice that made me think who is that man in the house? Innocence fleeting, the boys are still discussing building forts and playing video games. Gavin built a fire in the pit and the older birthdayers hung out there. Chloe was serenaded to an old Cat Stevens song by a nice young man. Cole, that took guts and I know our daughter appreciated it.
Thinking forward to next August our houseful of children will dwindle down to one with Chloe, Gavin and Chelsea off at their perspective colleges. Fingers crossed, Hannah will be gainfully employed pursuing her passion after graduation. Our oldest daughter Ali will be on the cusp of becoming a licensed psychologist and our son-in-law Drew begins veterinarian school. This is the role of parents to empty the nest, but the thought remains bittersweet. We are hoping in those fledgling flights life lessons are not too painful and our children put forth their best efforts so the doors of opportunity swing open for them. We are very proud!

An asylum seeker who led police on a high speed chase while drunk behind the wheel, has been spared jail.
When Nasser Ali was eventually arrested and officers asked him how much he had drank he answered "a lot", Teesside Crown Court heard.
Nasser, from Somalia, appeared at the court for sentencing after previously admitting a charge of dangerous driving without insurance and driving without an appropriate licence.
The court heard that on May 3 this year at 2.20am police were drawn to a vehicle driven by Nasser at the junction of Mandale Road and Thornaby Road in Thornaby.
Prosecuting, Paul Lee, said the car drove off towards Midddlesbrough Road, consistently accelerating and then braking.
He said: "At one point he came to an almost complete stop before accelerating away.
"Having travelled on to Stockton Road he reached more than 60mph in a 30mph speed limit."
The car drove on to Newport Bridge where the driver lost control braking sharply on the bridge.
Mr Lee said it eventually collided into a lamp-post. The police car stopped alongside the vehicle and Nasser made off on foot.
A short chase followed before he was caught and arrested.
Mr Lee added: "He was interviewed under caution.
"He admitted that he had been driving but made no comment regarding the nature of the driving. When asked how much he had to drink, he said he didn't know but said 'a lot'."
There was also a passenger in the car and the court heard that he was the owner of the vehicle.
Mitigating, Graham Brown, said Nasser was depressed at the time of the incident. He said he had come to the UK from war-torn Somalia after both his parents lost their lives.
Nasser was living on Teesside at the time of the offence but has now moved to London.
The court was told that he has no previous convictions.
Judge John Walford said: "Those who seek asylum in this country owe an enormous amount of gratitude to this country and they should reflect that in their behaviour and abide by the laws of this country. What you did was to put the lives of other people at risk."
Nasser was given a 10 month sentence suspended for two years with a three month curfew requirement. He was also disqualified from driving for 12 months and ordered to pay £100 costs.

© 2016 American Physical Society. We examine the problem of finding the minimum number of Pauli measurements needed to uniquely determine an arbitrary n-qubit pure state among all quantum states. We show that only 11 Pauli measurements are needed to determine an arbitrary two-qubit pure state compared to the full quantum state tomography with 16 measurements, and only 31 Pauli measurements are needed to determine an arbitrary three-qubit pure state compared to the full quantum state tomography with 64 measurements. We demonstrate that our protocol is robust under depolarizing error with simulated random pure states. We experimentally test the protocol on two- and three-qubit systems with nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. We show that the pure-state tomography protocol saves us a number of measurements without considerable loss of fidelity. We compare our protocol with same-size sets of randomly selected Pauli operators and find that our selected set of Pauli measurements significantly outperforms those random sampling sets. As a direct application, our scheme can also be used to reduce the number of settings needed for pure-state tomography in quantum optical systems.

Release Overview
The focus of this release was to further improve the Tagging of users on an approval, along with various changes to the Feedback Report screen.
AD-1437 Approvals > Ability to Tag any user on a markup
When adding Markup on an approval request, typing an @ will now allow you to Tag specific users to alert them to your markup, just like a tag on Facebook or Instagram. For example, if you saw some text on a page and wanted to ask "Jane" a question about it, you could type your question and then add @Jane. A notification would be sent to Jane and she would be able to access the page and Reply to your question.
If you tag a user who is also an approver, they would be able to see all of the feedback that they could previously, along with any other markups they were tagged in. The tagged mark-ups will have a darker background to stand out from the rest.
If you tag a user who is not an approver, then they will only be able to see the markups they were specifically tagged in.
AD-1438 Approvals > Move Feedback Report into the Full Screen Approval View (Stage 1)
In a coming sprint, we will be removing the Feedback Report screen and will replace it with the Full Screen Approval view with extra capabilities. To begin this process, we have had to move the button used to access the Feedback Report.
You will be taken to the Full Screen Approval view where you will be able to see all of the feedback and export it "as is". If you need to modify any of the comments, then you will need to switch to a "Feedback Mode" to edit and export any feedback.
Full Screen Approval View > Remove Duplicate information at the top of the screen
In the Full Screen Approval view, information that was shown at the top of the screen and then duplicated in the right side panel. We have now removed this duplicate information from the top of the screen.
Note: These items are only available to organisations who have access to the Resources module. If you would like more information on this, please contact your admation liaison.
AD-1442 Self-Assign Task Improvements
If you are a member of an organisation where you would be expected to assign tasks to yourself, you will now have access to a new tab in the Tasks module, which allows you to see any unassigned tasks. From there, you can assign a task for yourself to work on.
AD-1444 Review Feedback Screen > If feedback has been collated, the name of the person who made a comment should be next to that comment
Scenario: I have submitted an approval request to Ben. Ben has forwarded the request to John and Jane. John and Jane have responded, Ben has collated their feedback, so that it forms part of his own comments, and has responded to me.
When I look at the feedback, it will now show John and Jane's names against any comments they made, unless Ben modified a comment that John or Jane made. In that case, Ben's name would be shown against that comment.
AD-1446 Forward Approval > Project details not shown
If you forward an approval request, the recipients will be able to see the project details by rolling over the "i" button in the top left corner.

Razer Phone 2 arrives exclusively from Optus today on a range of 24 month plans
Daniel Tyson
After announcing their second generation gaming phone last month, the Razer Phone 2 is now available to purchase as a carrier exclusive from Optus in Australia from today.
The phone is available from Razer, and will be arriving at retail as well, but if you want the phone on a plan Optus has partnered with Razer as part of their commitment to growing the gaming and esports ecosystem in Australia which began with sponsoring the inaugural PVP Esports Championship in Singapore last month.
The Razer Phone 2 is available starting on a range of plans which include bonus data offerings until the 13th of January, and unlimited calls and text to standard Australian numbers. Plans start from $90 per month plan ($45 Plan + $45 Phone), including 4GB of data (2GB + 2GB bonus data) on the Optus 4G Plus network, but there's many other options including their $105 per month plan which includes a massive 200GB of data (100GB + 100GB Bonus Data).
The Razer Phone 2 reflects Razer's heritage as a top tier manufacturer in the gaming industry, incorporating many features adored by gamers such as the 120Hz Ultra Motion IGZO LCD display which is 50% brighter than the previous model to improve viewing in direct sunlight. The screen also incorporates HDR with Netflix HDR certification included, and Dolby Atmos sound for better audio on the move.
The phone also utilises their Vapor Chamber cooling technology from their laptop range allowing for improved cooling of the Snapdragon 845, which translates to an additional 20-30% performance improvement from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. The processor is paired with a massive 8GB of RAM and 64GB of on-board storage which can be expanded with microSD cards.
Though quite blocky in design, the 16:9 aspect ratio of the phone should make for a great gaming platform, and design wise the multi-coloured Chroma logo on the rear which can be customised to your liking.
Razer Phone 2 will launch with Android Oreo 8.1, with an upgrade to Android Pie 9.0 in the works. Razer has also committed to keeping pace with Google's monthly Android security patches.
Optus Head of Product Shawn Van Graan said of the addition of the Razer Phone 2 to the Optus range
Optus is moving into a new and exciting esports market as the exclusive Australian carrier of the amazing new Razer Phone 2. As one of the world's top gaming device manufacturers, Razer has designed a high-performance smartphone that is packed with features, including a 120Hz LCD display, extra-long battery life and internal cooling system, making it the perfect companion for Optus customers who love gaming and consuming video content on the go.
Our Optus plans for the Razer Phone 2 offer huge amounts of data, as well as the option to add entertainment extras including Optus Sport and TV streaming on eligible subscription services without using the plan's data, which is perfect for mobile gamers and entertainment fans.
You can order the Razer Phone 2 from the Optus website now, with delivery between 1-5 days, or head in-store to check out the phone at your local Optus store.

Q: Does the order of data in a text file affects its compression ratio? I have 2 large text files (csv, to be precise). Both have the exact same content except that the rows in one file are in one order and the rows in the other file are in a different order.
When I compress these 2 files (programmatically, using DotNetZip) I notice that always one of the files is considerably bigger -for example, one file is ~7 MB bigger compared to the other.-
My questions are:
How does the order of data in a text file affect compression and what measures can one take in order to guarantee the best compression ratio? - I presume that having similar rows grouped together (at least in the case of ZIP files, which is what I am using) would help compression but I am not familiar with the internals of the different compression algorithms and I'd appreciate a quick explanation on this subject.
Which algorithm handles this sort of scenario better in the sense that would achieve the best average compression regardless of the order of the data?

A: A typical compression algorithm works as follows. Look at a chunk of data. If it's identical to some other recently seen chunk, don't output the current chunk literally, output a reference to that earlier chunk instead.
It surely helps when similar chunks are close together. The algorithm will only keep a limited amount of look-back data to keep compression speed reasonable. So even if a chunk of data is identical to some other chunk, if that old chunk is too old, it could already be flushed away.

A: "How" has already been answered.  To answer your "which" question:
The larger the window for matching, the less sensitive the algorithm will be to the order.  However all compression algorithms will be sensitive to some degree.
gzip has a 32K window, bzip2 a 900K window, and xz an 8MB window.  xz can go up to a 64MB window.  So xz would be the least sensitive to the order.  Matches that are further away will take more bits to code, so you will always get better compression with, for example, sorted records, regardless of the window size.  Short windows simply preclude distant matches.

A: In some sense, it is the measure of the entropy of the file defines how well it will compress.  So, yes, the order definitely matters. As a simple example, consider a file filled with values abcdefgh...zabcd...z repeating over and over. It would compress very well with most algorithms because it is very ordered.  However, if you completely randomize the order (but leave the same count of each letter), then it has the exact same data (although a different "meaning"). It is the same data in a different order, and it will not compress as well.
In fact, because I was curious, I just tried that.  I filled an array with 100,000 characters a-z repeating, wrote that to a file, then shuffled that array "randomly" and wrote it again.  The first file compressed down to 394 bytes (less than 1% of the original size). The second file compressed to 63,582 bytes (over 63% of the original size).

A: Sure it does. If the input pattern is fixed, there is a 100% chance to predict the character at each position. Given that two parties know this about their data stream (which essentially amounts to saying that they know the fixed pattern), virtually nothing needs to be communicated: total compression is possible (to communicate finite-length strings, rather than unlimited streams, you'd still need to encode the length, but that's sort of beside the point). If the other party doesn't know the pattern, all you'd need to do is to encode it. Total compression is possible because you can encode an unlimited stream with a finite amount of data.
At the other extreme, if you have totally random data - so the stream can be anything, and the next character can always be any valid character - no compression is possible. The stream must be transmitted completely intact for the other party to be able to reconstruct the correct stream.
Finite strings are a little trickier. Since finite strings necessarily contain a fixed number of instances of each character, the probabilities must change once you begin reading off initial tokens. One can read some sort of order into any finite string.
Not sure if this answers your question, but it addresses things a bit more theoretically.

Support local actors, go watch, 'The Porridge Queen' play
Posted by Mandisa Rasmeni | Aug 29, 2017 | After Hours
The Committed Artists of Namibia (CAN) will be showcasing "The Porridge Queen Play" on 2 September at 18:00 at the FNCC and tickets cost N$150.
The fund raising event will see the proceeds go towards the overseas studies of a junior female actor from CAN, Zenlia Philander.
The one hour long satire 'The Porridge Queen', takes the audience on an interesting journey through present day Namibia and it is insightful, though provoking and entertaining.
Handjievol is the main character selling porridge on a street corner in Independence Avenue to make a living.
The Artists association has encouraged the public not to lose out on the opportunity to be entertained with outstanding contemporary theatre, written and directed by theatre practitioner, Frederick Philander and contributing towards the future of an actor who will be an ambassador to Namibia and its people.
According to the organisers, buying a ticket for the play will automatically enters one for a raffle draw that will take place during the same event, where ten prizes can be won ranging from a weekend for two at any of a wide range of well know tourist destinations, to a dinner for six, smart devices and more.

Last night Big Kid showed me a drawing he did of himself as an adult sitting at a desk. The desk had a computer on it (with Windows XP--Big Kid is a die hard fan of that particular operating system and apparently plans to use it well into adulthood regardless of technological advancements), a small photo of three little people and a larger picture of a girl in a picture frame that had flowers around it and said "Cupcakes" at the bottom.
His own name plate said "Waffles." That's his class nickname.
His girl friend who is not his girlfriend's class nickname is Pancakes. When I exclaimed in delight how adorable it was that their names coordinated, he scoffed and declared it a coincidence.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Me in 30 years at my desk. I have a wife and 3 kids."
"You should have named her Pancakes."
His jaw hardened and he glared up at me, with a slight snap of his head.
"WHY would her name be PANCAKES?" He asked, angrily.
"Dude...I just thought it would be cute. You know, because it goes so well with Waffles."
He was seething mad, just staring at me.
"Just not sure why you'd pick that name."
"Particularly since I told you that's J.'s nickname..."
"Oh, I...forgot? I just thought it would be cute."
"Not cute." He declared before stomping off to his room.
I'm going to drop it but his future wife "Cupcakes" looks a lot like the way he draws his current friend "Pancakes."

Buses transport South Florida residents all over the region. City buses take commuters where they want to go while chartered and tour buses transport tourists to major local attractions. School buses get children to and from school, and shuttle buses are a way to get to airports or tourist sites.
While bus accidents are rarer than car collisions, they are devastating when they occur. Flaxman Law Group has put together this FAQ to answer the most common questions people have about bus collisions. If you have been injured while riding a bus and need more personalized help, you can schedule a free, no obligation consultation with a bus accident attorney. Just call 866-352-9626 or contact us online to schedule your consultation.
A bus collision is a crash between a bus and another user of the road. It can involve pedestrians, trucks, cars, or others. In some cases, bus accident injury claims also result from on-board injuries. For example, if a bus brakes too quickly and passengers are injured, this can lead to a claim.
Bus accidents can happen for many reasons:
Driver inattention
Poor driver training
Drivers under the influence
Other users of the road being negligent
Violence on board the bus
Poor security on the bus
Mechanical defects
Insufficient bus maintenance
Road design
Florida is fourth in the nation when it comes to bus accidents. The good news is that most city buses remain on city streets, so collisions involving these vehicles tend to not involve high speeds. For these buses, collisions commonly happen at intersections and when the bus is pulling out of a bus lane or away from a bus stop. However, shuttle buses and other tourist buses can sometimes also be involved in higher-speed accidents on highways.
With the exception of some smaller shuttle buses, buses usually do not have passenger air bags, which reduces the protection to occupants in a collision. In addition, people and objects (such as luggage) on a bus can collide or become airborne in an accident, which can put passengers at risk of many serious injuries, including:
Contusions and abrasions
Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
You can reduce your risk of injuries by choosing bus tour companies carefully. Look into the owners and any safety measures the company takes, as well as past accidents. No matter what kind of bus you're on, you can stay safer by:
Becoming familiar with safety features of the bus, including emergency exits or seat belts (if possible)
Sitting within sight of the driver, if possible
Securing any items, such as backpacks or luggage
Avoiding distraction so you can focus on personal safety
Sitting down or holding onto a secure bar to maintain your balance
If you're in a bus accident, the bus driver, if he or she is able to, will go through the emergency procedure. Follow his or her directions. If the bus driver is incapacitated, stay calm and exit the bus if it is safe to do so. Get emergency help for anyone who is seriously injured. After your accident, you may also want to:
Report any criminal activity to the police
Take photos of the scene and note down the bus number, the time, and the bus driver's name
Get the contact information of any other passengers and witnesses, if you can
Report the incident to the bus company
Contact a bus accident injury claims attorney in Hollywood or your community so you have someone to negotiate for compensation for you
In many cases, there may be multiple liable parties after a bus accident. Other drivers on the road may be partly liable, and the bus owner or operator as well as the bus driver may be partly at fault. Even the manufacturer of the bus may be held liable if their faulty product design contributed to the accident. One challenge with city bus accidents, however, is that city buses may be the property of a municipality and in Florida there are limits to civil claims against governments and government agencies. Working with an experienced personal injury attorney can help you uncover all liable parties.
An attorney can also help you determine how much your claim may be worth. In Florida, if someone's negligence caused your bus accident injuries, you may be able to seek compensation for lost wages, medical costs, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses related to your injuries. The more severe and life-changing your injuries, the more you may be able to recover.
Yes. If you are walking or biking and a bus strikes you, you can seek compensation for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses if someone else's negligence led to your injuries.
Yes. If you can prove negligence or insufficient security allowed the assault to happen, you may have a claim against the owner of the bus, the driver, and the assailant. Even if the assailant is not caught, you may have a claim against the company who owns the bus or the tour operator. This type of situation can be more complex, which is why you may want to speak with an experienced bus accident injury claims attorney, who can evaluate your situation and help you understand whether you have a claim.
In many cases, bus accident claims may be settled out of court. However, an experienced attorney is willing to take your case before a judge, if that is the best way to get compensation for your injuries.
An experienced attorney has knowledge about the law and about cases similar to yours, so he or she is ready to pursue compensation for you. When you work with a bus accident claims attorney, your attorney will investigate the accident to determine the liable parties and the value of your claim. Your attorney will file all the paperwork and will follow the correct process for your claim, so your claim is not thrown out.
One important role your attorney plays is to negotiate. An experienced attorney understands the tactics insurance companies and other parties use to try to pay you less compensation, and this means your attorney is prepared to counter those strategies to get you fair compensation.
For example, the legal team at Flaxman Law Group has more than 60 years of combined experience. We have negotiated with many insurers over the years and have taken cases before the courts, recovering over $100 million for our clients. We understand a serious traffic accident can change your life and our goal is to help you understand your legal options so you can make decisions about your future from a position of strength.
Our team offers contingency fee arrangements, so you don't have to pay unless and until we win compensation for you. We also offer no-cost, no obligation consultations. Just call Flaxman Law Group at 866-352-9626 or contact us online to schedule your free consultation.

Please review NOVA's Emergency and Inclement Weather Closing policy in full at Emergency/Inclement Weather Closing Policy.
In the event of a college-wide or campus-specific closure or delayed opening, the decision will be announced on the home page of the NOVA website and on local TV and radio stations. A text alert will be sent to cell phones that are registered with NOVA Alert. Individuals may also call the College Call Center at 703.323.3000. Please do not call College Police for closing information; this may delay and/or interrupt critical information flow and decision making.
If the College closes early due to inclement weather, students, faculty and staff may be provided with specific times they can leave. This will help to ensure a safe and orderly departure from buildings and campuses.
Please Note: Doors will be locked one hour after the College's closing time. For example: If the College closes at 4 p.m., doors will be locked at 5 p.m. Doors will unlock one hour prior to the College's opening time. For example: If the College opens at 10 a.m., doors will be unlocked at 9 a.m. While doors are locked, no access to campus and non-campus buildings are permissible.
In the event of an extended closing, faculty are required to notify their students their backup plan for instructions.
At the start of every semester, faculty are expected to communicate to students and to their Dean, their alternative approach to continue teaching and learning during emergency closures lasting more than a day. Faculty must also provide their Dean with a copy of their syllabi explaining their approach to continuing instruction during emergency closures. Examples of alternative teaching and learning approaches include utilization of Blackboard, video conference, email, conference calls, special topics research, discussion, etc. Faculty must announce their alternative delivery approach to the class as soon as possible after the College is closed. The alternative delivery approaches specific to the course should be documented in the course syllabi.
When the College announces a delayed opening, classes that would have started prior to an opening time and continued at least 45 minutes after the opening time will still be held at the opening time. For example: if the College opens at 10 a.m., a three-hour class that normally begins at 9:30 a.m. and continues to 12:30 p.m. would start at 10 a.m. and continue as usual until 12:30 p.m.
When the College is closed, no day or evening classes will be held until classes begin on the following morning. Campus closing and delays affect all campus offices including Testing Centers, Tutoring Centers and Libraries.
Students taking ELI/NOVA Online courses will be notified by faculty by email and/or Blackboard if a closing or delay will affect their ELI/NOVA Online course or if due dates have been changed due to weather. If a course has a live, virtual session scheduled, that meeting may still take place. When making such a decision, the faculty member should take into account the fact that the conditions causing the closure may prevent students from accessing the technology necessary to connect to the course activity (example: students who do not have Internet access at home or whose access may be disrupted by the severe weather).
Classes or other NOVA activities, including Workforce Development classes, conducted at non-NOVA locations (examples: military bases, clinical healthcare facilities, other institutions' or companies' facilities, etc.) are governed by a college closure or delayed opening decision. In addition, if the host facility is unavailable due to closure, the NOVA class or activity will be suspended.

After I posted photos two weeks ago, many people wondered if Melrose Leadership Academy's new site would be ready for the first day of school. MLA community members were at the school for the parent work day, but the site was still unprepared. The PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) Board had planned a 2012 Welcome Day for the weekend before school started. Would the school be available? On Saturday August 25, 2012, painters were still working outside while parents were meeting their children's teachers. Who would have guessed that movers were still removing furniture one night earlier?
Two weeks ago the new multipurpose room was full of supplies from our old building and the current one. Our old school's multipurpose room was much smaller with a maximum occupancy of 146. The new site has a maximum of 550, so not only was our current site full of boxes, it was full of many more supplies than our last site could hold.
There are many people who worked extra hours (and days) to make this possible. Is there someone who you think needs special recognition? If so, feel free to let us know who we should acknowledge.

Ibrahimovic looking for 'last bit of adrenaline' at AC Milan
On January 3, 2020 1:23 pmIn News, Sportsby Emmanuel Okogba
Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic warned Friday he was not back at AC Milan as a mascot but for the "last bit of adrenaline" and to lift a club he loved out of a difficult situation.
"I'm not here as a mascot to dance for the fans next to the Devil (Milan mascot)," the 38-year-old told a press conference in Milan.
"I'm looking for the last bit of adrenaline I might have. At my age you're not looking for anything else but a challenge.
"When you're 38 and get hired by AC Milan it's something that doesn't happen very often, coming here means I still have something to give.
"I got more requests now than when I was 28," he continued.
"I am ready, I feel more than alive, I hope to play immediately."
Ibrahimovic has signed a six-month contract worth 3.5 million euros ($3.9 million) with the option for an additional year.
It will mark the Swede's second stint with Milan, seven years after he left for Paris Saint-Germain.
He played for the Rossoneri from 2010-2012 scoring 56 goals in 85 appearances and helped the club win their 18th and last league title in 2011.
One of the most successful clubs in the world the seven-times European champions are 11th in the table just seven points above relegation.
Milan chief football officer Zvonimir Boban contacted the Swede after he left Los Angeles Galaxy in October and the calls intensified after a 5-0 loss to Atalanta last month, their heaviest defeat in 21 years.
"After Atalanta I got lots and lots of calls, it wasn't a difficult decision in the end," continued Ibrahimovic.

"Last time I left Milan I didn't want to leave. Milan gave me the happiness of playing soccer, I hope this will be true again.
"Things need to be improved in the field and that's why I'm here.
"Milan is always AC Milan and the image of ACM is something that cannot be deleted, you can't change history."
Ibrahimovic said that going to the United States after his career-threatening knee injury at Manchester United had refuelled his passion.
"After two MLS championships I feel more than lively," he said.
"It's not that I can play like when I was 28 or 35, things change but you know what you can do. Rather than running you can kick a ball from 40 metres," he smiled.
Ibrahimovic started his career at Malmo in his native Sweden.
He went on to play for Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, Milan, PSG and Manchester United, winning trophies with all these clubs.
But Boban warned that the club would not just be counting on Ibrahimovic.
"We can't forget the horrible and unacceptable defeat at Bergamo, but we must not hide behind the broad shoulders of Zlatan Ibrahimovic," said Boban.
"We hope the course of the season will change and are optimistic about the effect he will have on the team and the environment but we need results."
AC Milan's first game after the winter break will be at home against Sampdoria on Monday.

Perfect binding and PUR binding – they're essentially the same process, aren't they? Actually, no. PUR binding refers to a method of perfect binding that has become increasingly popular in the last few years. As with traditional perfect binding, a book's pages and cover are glued together at the spine while the three remaining sides are trimmed to give them the classic "perfect" edges. However, there are a few notable differences between the two methods.
How is PUR different from perfect binding?
For sure there are differences between the two binding methods, even if it doesn't appear that way at first glance. It all comes down to the adhesive used during the binding process. The biggest difference between PUR and perfect binding is that traditional perfect relies on ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) adhesives, while PUR makes use of polyurethane reactive (PUR) adhesive.
Book spines that make use of PUR are prepared in much the same way as a traditional EVA-bound book, utilizing a variety of notching, roughing/equalizing heads in order to create fiber. The adhesive then will bond with these fibers during the curing process. The properties of PUR adhesive are designed in such a way that they draw moisture out of the air as part of the curing process. The amount of paper fibers also is reduced with PUR.
Why opt for PUR instead of EVA binding?
One of the biggest advantages of PUR is that it offers significantly increased binding strength. Once the adhesive has set, page pull tests are often up to 50 percent stronger than with books that use EVA glue. It also offers greater aging stability, is impervious to print ink oil migration and is capable of bonding to coated and cross-grained stock. Furthermore, PUR is extremely durable. This is particularly helpful in that it is not susceptible to issues brought on by extreme temperatures, like traditional perfect binding can be.
As with conventional hot melt glues, the initial bond in PUR is formed as it cools and solidifies. Unlike conventional hot melts, PUR contains reactive components (isocyanate groups), which cure in the presence of humidity and form a strong elastomeric film. Furthermore, while EVA's properties allow it to be reactivated with heat, the film produced by PUR cannot be re-melted and is insoluble to most solvents. Thus, EVA binding exposed to extreme heat is able to melt, while a PUR binding will remain in its solid state. Typically, PUR has a heat resistance of 350°F peel failure, compared with 165°F to 200°F for quality EVA. Extremely cold temperatures provide additional problems for EVA, mainly that it is subject to cracking and brittleness. Again, because PUR cannot be reactivated, it is in no danger of cracking. Typical cold crack for PUR measured at -20°F vs. 30°F for EVA.
How does PUR achieve its flexibility?
As mentioned earlier, once the adhesive is set, it is extremely difficult to pull pages from a PUR-bound book. The adhesive cannot be reactivated, giving it increased durability. This might seem like it would make the binding less flexible, but that's not the case.
PUR uses a much thinner application of adhesive than compared with EVA (10 to 12ml vs. 25 to 35ml per EVA). This thinner application of adhesive, along with its reactive properties, is what gives PUR its flexibility. In testing, PUR has extremely high flex-test values, often in excess of 1,000 flexes. It is this flexibility that allows also for greater lay-flat characteristics. When applied properly, PUR's lay-flat ability is comparable to that of true Otabind. Additionally, a thinner application frequently will improve performance and result in improved "mileage" over time. With less adhesive on the spine, there is less distortion of shape and cleaner overall appearance.
What are some challenges associated with PUR binding?
PUR is applied using an open roller pot system and, while this system does have advantages – such as better accessibility for operators and providing greater consistency of application with thicker books – it also can be costly in terms of maintenance and cleaning.
The one-pot system requires a longer cleanup process than traditional EVA systems. The pot must be drained and the adhesive allowed to cure overnight before the pot can be reheated and any remaining adhesive removed. The adhesive pot may require recoating as often as once every three years. The system also allows for greater amounts of glue spoilage.
When it comes to maintaining a one-pot system, it's best to check with the equipment manufacturer for guidance on best practices. The technology does exist to apply (essentially spray) PUR onto the binding edge using slot-nozzle technology. This technology has advantages and disadvantages – the biggest advantage being the cleanup is not nearly as extensive as it is with an open pot system.
Are there times when PUR adhesive is not preferable to EVA?
In almost every situation, PUR is better than EVA. There is one exception, however: If a book block is being bound or prepared for case binding, the spine can't be rounded in the casing-in process if PUR is used. In this situation, EVA has a tad bit more roundability/flexibility.

I blame TSTT for the increase in teenage pregnancies. This is due to free calls at night during which time girls indulge in personal if not sexual conversations with their boyfriends.
Both the poor and the wealthy are experiencing pregnancies in their families. Look around and see the number of babies that are being born to young girls. I spoke to someone in the Ministry of Education about this situation and am calling on them to help the teens. This nonsense must stop.
My elderly husband and I are being disturbed at unearthly hours when we have to hear conversations when we should be getting a good night's rest. Mr Attorney General, could I sue TSTT regarding my disturbance?
This line: My elderly husband and I are being disturbed at unearthly hours when we have to hear conversations when we should be getting a good night's rest has me wondering.
Where are you at night to hear these conversations? Are they being said in your house? Judging from your stance that night time calls by young teenage girls are of a sexual nature, can we then infer that you have a teenage girl in your house indulging in sexual conversations at night for you to have the opportunity to overhear? Or, do you go snooping into young girls bedrooms at night (whether in your house or others) to overhear such conversations?
If the latter, I have no more questions. If the former, I am wondering why you seek to lay blame on TSTT rather than yourselves for failing to control and discipline said teenage nymphet. Your apportioning blame to TSTT is like the person who blames the knife manufacturer when his product is used to commit a murder, but praises when it is used in the kitchen. If you are so displeased with TSTT, disconnect your phone, boycott their services and isolate the nymphet. Problem solved… unless you shortly thereafter have to stop buying certain fruits and vegetables.

RTD bus door closes on bike helmet and cracks it
Posted: 10:56 PM, May 03, 2016
By: Jaclyn Allen
A Denver man wants to warn others after he says he an RTD bus door crushed his bicycle helmet and could have caused serious injury.
Surveillance video of the incident obtained by Denver7 has raised questions about bus door safety.
"You can see the damage on here. The helmet is cracked all the way around, and it took a chunk out of it," said Steve Garcia, a Denver resident who was taking the Flatiron Flyer from Denver to Boulder last month. "It does take a lot of force to do that."
RTD surveillance video from Union Station shows Garcia (in a white t-shirt) boarding a bus while holding his helmet in front of him in his hand.
Garcia said when the bus driver accidentally closed the pneumatic doors, he stepped back, but not far enough; his bike helmet was caught between the doors for several seconds until the bus driver realized it and opened the doors.
The video shows the helmet then falling to the ground.
Garcia said he was surprised the doors didn't have obstacle detection or sensing technology that would have kept them from crushing his helmet.
"I thought they would open quickly like an elevator door or the trains at the airport, but nothing like that," said Garcia.
A receipt shows RTD reiumbursed him for the damaged helmet, but Garcia said the helmet isn't what worried him.
"My concern is if it had been something other than a helmet, what would have happened?" asked Garcia. "If it had been an infant or a child or an elderly person or a disabled person? It could much more serious, even fatal."
Scott Reed, an RTD spokesman said the bus doors meet all safety requirements and this is the first complaint.
"Fortunately, it appears to be a very isolated incident," said Reed. "There are millions of this type of bus door in operation in the world. RTD has thousands of them over the past several years that have been in operation."
However, there are several types of door sensors available that prevent doors from closing on passengers.
"There are some transit authorities that mandate sensing edges for their buses and some that do not," said Frank Golemis, director of engineering at Vapor Bus International, which makes sensor systems for bus doors . "Some authorities require them only on rear doors, but some require them on front doors as well."
While RTD uses "safety sensitive closure equipment" on the rear passenger door of two-door buses, Reed stated in an email that it is not required on front passenger doors, which rely on bus drivers paying attention.
"The bus operator has full control of the door, and they can stop it instantly," said Reed. "Our bus operators are very very careful. They're safe. And passenger safety is our top concern."
But what happened to Garcia's helmet has raised some red flags.
"I am very surprised that there are no sensors," said Kevin Williams, the legal program director for the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition. "I can say that for anyone with a mobility impairment who does not use the wheelchair lift, the closing of doors could be a serious problem."
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA), which oversees bus safety, does not have any regulations related to the operation of doors on transit buses.
However, the agency is working to strengthen its safety oversight with a new regulatory framework.
"Once the new rules become final and effective, the operation of doors on transit buses may be a safety issue FTA will look into in the future," a spokesperson wrote in a statement to Denver7's Jaclyn Allen.
Meanwhile, last year the FTA issued a proposed rule to test the safety of new transit buses that would establish minimum performance standards. The FTA expects to issue the final rule later this year."
Until then, Garcia said he just wants to warn others that for him, the most dangerous part of riding the bus was simply stepping on.
"How many small incidents would it take for something to be done about it?" Garcia asked.


Amphetamines are stimulants that reduce fatigue, and give the body a feeling of vigor within a short time. Medics discourage the use of amphetamines owing to the high addiction level. The dosage for adults is different from the dosage in children owing to the different capabilities of the body to sustain the tablets, crystals, or powder. People can smoke, sniff, or ingest amphetamines because of the packaging of the stimulants (Poirier, Micallef & Blin 2004). Amphetamine particles have many effects on people who use the substances and the reaction is almost double in school-aged children from childhood to teenage years, children face depression and anxiety, which amphetamines augment and pose risk in futuristic years.
Amphetamines cause many complications in various users including sleep disorders, the risk of addiction, hallucinations, depression, and anxiety among other panic attacks. Different theories explain the use of amphetamine and the discussion limits the outcomes to depression and anxiety. The theory of reasoned action (TRA) mentions that students who display extreme traits need medical assessment.
Instead of playing, a student becomes violent with another student and this explains that various external influences control the behavior of such people. TRA focuses on rapid and extreme behavior change, reduced performance in school, the intentions of the victims, and the capability to display remorse after offending another person (Litchfield & White 2006). TRA purports that before blaming or punishing a child, a parent or teacher need to seek medical intervention to prove that stimulants do not cause the rapid transformation in character.
A link exists between depression and co-occurring substances. A co-occurring substance has an addictive appeal towards the use of such substances. Children need not to use substances such as opioids because of the addictive nature. Inability to access the addictive substances depresses children. The victims have no source of income to facilitate the lifestyle even though they cannot live without amphetamines especially when suffering from ADHD.
Instead of decreasing depression, amphetamines have done the reverse since inability to access the substances leads to increased depression in children. Children who use amphetamines for a long time display weird sexual behaviors. Such children are reckless and become depressed because of the constant urge to seek attention and acceptance. "Depressive symptoms were associated with an increased level of injection risk behaviors but were not associated with risky sexual behaviors.
The co-occurring use of amphetamines also increased the likelihood of risky sexual behaviors (Pilowsky, Li-TzyWu, Burchett, Blazer, & Ling 2011)." School-going children do not need to engage in risky sexual behaviors because of a low immunity and susceptibility to HIV/AIDS and STDs.
TRA explains that depression emerges from intoxication and interference with the human cerebral. During treatment, an individual's desire for amphetamines increases and this causes depression (Litchfield & White 2006). In essence, during the administration and withdrawal stages of using amphetamines, depression occurs. In children, psychiatric assistance is crucial because depression distracts them from studying, playing, and socializing.
Most children who take amphetamines have esteem issues, which makes it impossible to survive without the substances. Children develop levels of mistrust during the discontinuation process, which varies from one patient to another. The withdrawal period in children distresses parents and caregivers since most of them do not talk to other people. It becomes difficult for parents to cope with children under this condition and expert opinion is necessary throughout the healing process.
Hallucinations are consistent and there is a possibility of embarking on the same character after withdrawal from the use of amphetamines (Popper 1989). Depressed children display destructive traits and this is evident in many juveniles. Studies indicate that children who use amphetamines lack motivation to study, interact, and partake in normal activities that children enjoy. The theory of reasoned action believes that a student cannot display a sudden change in behavior when he or she does not introduce a stimulant in the body.
According to the theory of induced delusionality, amphetamines are stimulants that medics use in treating (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) ADHD in children and adults. The feeling of restlessness is common in children subjected to amphetamines for treatment of ADHD. Lack of sleep increases anxiety in children and reduces concentration in class. Insomnia results in a reversed sleeping condition in children, which makes it impossible to study during the day or sleep at night.
