\section{SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL}
\section{Device Parameters}\label{app:device}

The superconducting transmon device was fabricated by BBN in collaboration with Raytheon RF Components. The device ground plane, resonators and qubit capacitors are \SI{200}{\nm} niobium sputtered on high-resistivity intrinsic silicon, cleaned with an HF-last RCA clean \cite{Kern1990} before sputtering. The niobium metallization was optically patterned and etched with an \ch{SF6}+\ch{O2} RIE-ICP plasma etch. Post-etch residues were removed using an oxygen ash and a \ch{HF} etch. The qubits' single Josephson junction was patterned using a Dolan bridge \cite{Dolan1977a} technique using a \ch{PMMA}-\ch{MMA} bilayer resist and electron beam lithography. The junction was fabricated using aluminum electron beam evaporation after an \ch{Ar+} ion mill etch to remove surface oxides. The sample was mounted in and wirebonded to a custom copper sample holder, with additional aluminum wirebonds across on-chip resonators to short parasitic resonances. This package was in turn mounted to the cold stage of a dilution refrigerator inside a light-tight, magnetically shielded sample can.

\end{figure}

The qubit chip consists of five fixed-frequency transmon qubits, designed to be similar to those described in \cite{Chow2014}, connected by bus resonators in two pairs of three. A micrograph of the device is shown in Figure \ref{fig:device}. For the experiments described in this Letter, only one qubit (Q\textsubscript{3}) is measured, while the other transmons are detuned by at least $\SI{140}{\mega\hertz}$ (with coupling only through bus resonators) and so have no impact on its operation and can thus be safely ignored. Q\textsubscript{3} is dispersively coupled to a readout resonator through which control drives resonant with the qubit are also applied. A detailed description of the control wiring, electronics and software stack can be found in the~\hyperref[app:electronics]{Control Electronics} section. Relevant device parameters are listed in Table \ref{tab:qbparams}. In particular, the photon number population evolution in the qubit cavity and its relaxation time $1/\kappa$ were measured using the Stark shift \cite{McClure2016}. Qubit coherences were measured using standard inversion recovery, Ramsey and Hahn echo sequences, and are listed in Table \ref{tab:coherence}. The $X_{\tfrac{\pi}{2}}$ and $Y_{\tfrac{\pi}{2}}$ qubit rotation gates were implemented as Gaussian pulses with a \SI{60}{\ns} length. Single-qubit error per Clifford gate was measured using randomized benchmarking \cite{ryan2009randomized} and found to be $r = \num{1.1e-3}$ (Fig. \ref{fig:qb_char}a), consistent with the results of GST (Fig. \ref{fig:diamond}). Qubit measurement fidelity, here defined as $F = (P_{0|0} + P_{1|1})/2$, where $P_{1|1}$ is the probability of correctly identifying the qubit state as $\ket{1}$ when prepared in $\ket{1}$, was determined from calibration data taken simultaneously with the QILGST sequences.  To calibrate the measurement fidelity, we used \num{1.3e5} preparations each of the qubit in its ground and excited states. The reflected cavity signal was downconverted and integrated using a matched kernel filter \cite{ryan2015tomography}, and binned resulting in the well-separated readout histograms shown in Figure \ref{fig:qb_char}b. Integrating and taking the difference of these histograms yields a fidelity $F = \SI{96.35}{\percent}$, while an approach using logistic regression \cite{Ding2019} yields a fidelity $F = \SI{96.43}{\percent} \pm \SI{0.7}{\percent} $.

\section{Control electronics}\label{app:electronics}

QILGST control sequences are generated in the \texttt{pyGSTi} software package then compiled and time-ordered using BBN's Quantum Gate Language (QGL)~\cite{qgl}. QGL ouputs a hardware efficient representation of the experiments which are sent to the control hardware over an ethernet interface. The physical control and readout pulses are sequenced using BBN's custom Arbitrary Pulse Sequencer II (APS-II). The sequencing capabilities of the APS-II allow for continuous playback of the QILGST experiments in a interleaved fashion collecting 1024 shots for each $t_d$ without interruption for waveform or data loading.

Our superconducting device is measured in a Bluefors LD-40 dilution refrigerator. Fig.~\ref{fig:circuit_diagram} outlines the complete measurement system. The amplifier pump and qubit control and readout microwave tones are generated using Holzworth9000A microwave synthesizers. To correct for any residual phase instability in the measurement tone, we use an \lq autodyne\rq measurement technique~\cite{ryan2015tomography}. Control and readout pulses are mixed with the microwave tones using Marki IQ-4509 mixers. Control pulses are generated by BBN custom Arbitrary Pulse Sequencer-II (APS-II)~\cite{Ryan2017} units. The readout and control channels are combined at room temperature, and the qubit cavity is measured in reflection through a Krytar directional coupler at the cold stage. A K\&L micro machined 6L250 low-pass filter provides the qubit with protection from high frequency noise above 12 GHz, and a Quinstar QCI cryogenic isolator provides further isolation from the rest of the readout chain. The cavity signal and a pump tone are then combined using a second directional coupler and sent through a Josephson Traveling-Wave Parametric Amplifier (JTWPA). The JTWPA provides roughly 25 dB of gain at the cavity frequency. Additional isolation is provided by a second Krytar QCI isolator and QCY circulator. The readout signal is then amplified at the 4 K stage using an LNF LNC4\_8C HEMT amplifier.

Outside the cryostat, microwaves are amplified further using a L3Harris Narda-MITEQ AMF-4F-04001200-15-10P before downconversion to the \SI{13}{\mega\hertz} intermediate frequency with a Marki doubly balanced mixer. A Stanford Research Systems SR445A preamplifier with a voltage gain of 25 is the last stage of amplification before the signal is captured using a X6-1000M Innovative Integration digitizer card running custom firmware~\cite{QDSP} which further decimates, digitally downconverts and integrates the data using a matched filter \cite{ryan2015tomography}. Data collection and pipelining is orchestrated by a the Auspex software package~\cite{auspex}. All sources, digitizers and sequencers share a global 10 MHz clock provided by an SRS SF725 Rubidium frequency standard.

\begin{figure}

  \caption{Experimental diagram. Microwave control signals are synthesized at room temperature and mixed up to the qubit and cavity frequencies. These signals are routed into a dilution refrigerator and bounce off the qubit sample. The microwaves then pass through both a JTWPA and HEMT amplifier before being down-mixed and further amplified again at room temperature. Microwave attenuation levels are listed for each temperature stage of the dilution refrigerator. The measurement signal from the cavity is converted to an intermediate frequency using an autodyne technique~\cite{ryan2015tomography} and digitized using an commercially available digitzer running custom firmware~\cite{QDSP}.  \label{fig:circuit_diagram}}
\end{figure}

\section{QILGST Simulations}
In the main text, we demonstrated that QILGST worked correctly using simulated data. Here we provide the details of these simulations. We simulated single-qubit QILGST on a gate set consisting of $\nicefrac{\pi}{2}$ rotations around the $\sigma_{x}$ and $\sigma_{y}$ axes, mid-circuit and terminating measurements in the $\sigma_{z}$ basis, and state preparation in $\ket{0}$. The target QI is $\gate{Q}_{\text{target}} =\{\gate{Q}_{\text{target},0},\gate{Q}_{\text{target},1}\}$ where
\begin{equation}
\gate{Q}_{\text{target},k}[\rho] =  \text{Tr}\left[\frac{1}{2}\left(\sigma_{I} + (-1)^k\sigma_{z}\right)\rho\right]\left(\sigma_{I} + (-1)^k\sigma_{z}\right).
\label{eq:zQI1}
\end{equation}
We generated 100 different error models. Errors on the mid-circuit measurement were randomly sampled, and errors on all other operations were held constant. The X and Y operations each had over-rotations of $10^{-3}$ radians along both X and Y axes and were subject to $10^{-2}$ depolarization, while SPAM was subject to $10^{-3}$ depolarization.  The mid-circuit measurement was subject to randomly chosen errors, both on the classical and quantum portions of the channel.  With a probability chosen uniformly from 0 to $10^{-2}$ the $|0\rangle$ was misidentified as $|1\rangle$ (and vice-versa, with another independently chosen probability).  Additionally, X and Y coherences were chosen to persist post-mid-circuit measurement, both strengths equal but chosen uniformly at random between $0$ and $10^{-2}$.

For each error model, we simulated drawing $N$ samples from each of the QILGST circuits, with $N$ varying logarithmically from 16 to 1024. For the data with each value of $N$, we applied the QILGST analysis to obtain an estimate of the gate set. We then computed half the diamond distance between the estimated QI $\widehat{\gate{Q}}$ and the \emph{true} QI $\gate{Q}_{\text{true}}$ used in the simulation (\emph{not} $\gate{Q}_{\text{target}}$), as a measure of the estimation inaccuracy. Fig.~\ref{fig:simulations} shows estimation inaccuracy versus $N$. It scales as $\nicefrac{1}{\sqrt{N}}$ (standard quantum-limited scaling), indicating that QILGST is correctly reconstructing the QI up to the expected statistical fluctuations.

\section{QILGST Experimental Results}
Here we include some additional analysis of the QILGST experimental results. Fig~\ref{fig:diamond} shows the the half diamond distance error ($\epsilon_{\diamond}$) for each gate for $t_d \geq 1020$ (when the datasets are Markovian). We examine the estimates obtained from both QILGST and LGST.  (The latter does not incorporate circuits containing any mid-circuit measurements, and therefore does not reconstruct an estimate for the quantum instrument.). There is good agreement between the LGST and QILGST reconstructions of the non-QI operations, and the error rates are reasonably stable across the examined delay times.

We also provide the QILGST reconstruction of $\widehat{\mathcal{G}}(\SI{2020}{ns})$ in Table \ref{tab:gatevals}.

\section{Stark Shift Model for Non-Markovian Error}

The QILGST fits in the main text show evidence for a considerable amount of non-Markovian error. A possible model to explain this error is the AC-Stark shift of the qubit frequency due to residual photons in the measurement cavity leftover from the mid-circuit measurement. The AC-Stark shift will be time-dependent as the photons leak out of the cavity, and thus induce a non-Markovian error on subsequent gates following the mid-circuit measurement. A qubit-only Hamiltonian describing this error model is given by
\begin{align}
    H(t) = H_{k} + \delta(t) \sigma_z,
\end{align}
where $H_{k}$ for $k \in \{x,y\}$ is the Hamiltonian describing the intended gate, and $\delta$ is a parameter describing the Stark-shift. Based on the lowest order dispersive theory, we would expect that $\delta(t) = \chi n(t)$, where $n(t) = \left<\hat{a}^\dagger\hat{a}\right>(t) = n_{i}e^{-\kappa t}$ is the time-dependent expectation value of the cavity photon population, with $n_{i}$ the initial photon population that depends on the outcome of the mid-circuit measurement, labeled by $i \in \{0,1\}$, as we drive on one of the shifted cavity lines for measurement. All parameters in this model have been measured by independent calibration experiments, see Table \ref{tab:qbparams}.

The gate generated by this Hamiltonian is given by
\begin{align}
    G_{k}(t) = \mathcal{T}_{\leftarrow}\exp\left(-i\int_{t_0}^{t_0 + t_{\rm gate}} H(t) dt\right) \approx \exp\left(-i\int_{t_0}^{t_0 + t_{\rm gate}} H(t) dt\right) = \exp\left( -i\left[H_{k}t_{\rm gate} + \varphi_{i,m} \sigma_z\right]\right),
\end{align}
where the approximation sign is an indication that we have approximated the full time-ordered integral with the first order term of the Magnus expansion. We have verified that the second order term of the Magnus expansion results in a phase error that is at least an order of magnitude smaller than the first order phase error $\varphi_{i,m}$. From the experimental calibration and dispersive theory, the first order phase error is given by
\begin{align}
    \varphi_{i,m}(t_d) = \frac{\chi}{n_{i}}\left(1 - e^{-\kappa t_{\rm gate}}\right)e^{-\kappa\left(mt_{\rm gate} + t_{d}\right)}, \label{eqn:phiBBN}
\end{align}
where $m \in \{0,1,2\}$ labels the gates following the mid-circuit measurement.

For the modelling results presented in the main text, we approximate the implemented gate more accurately by replacing $H_{k}$ with $\log(\widehat{G}_k)$, the generator \cite{blumekohout2021taxonomy} of the superoperator representation of the gate $\widehat{G}_k$ characterized by QILGST at 2020ns delay. We model each gate following the mid-circuit measurement as
\begin{align}
\widehat{G}_{k}(\alpha, r, i, m) = \exp[\log(\widehat{G}_{k}) + \alpha_i(t_d) \exp(-mr_i) \mathcal{Z}], \label{eqn:StarkModel}
\end{align}
where
\begin{align}
    \alpha_i(t_d) = \frac{\chi}{n_{i}}\left(1 - e^{-\kappa t_{\rm gate}}\right)e^{-\kappa t_{d}},
\end{align}
and $r_i = \kappa t_{\rm gate}$ under the dispersive model.

In addition to the model given above with $\varphi_{i,m}$ of Eq.~\eqref{eqn:phiBBN} determined entirely by independently characterized parameters, we also fit a model of the form of Eq.~\eqref{eqn:StarkModel} with all $\alpha_i(t_d)$ and $r_i$ as free parameters. For this model fitting, these free parameters are independently fit at each delay time, and for each mid-circuit measurement result. The model fit results in a phase error
\begin{align}
    \phi_{i,m}(t_d) = \alpha_i(t_d)e^{-mr_i}.
\end{align}

Fig.~\ref{fig:z-rotation} shows the calculated value of $\varphi_{i,m}$, and the fit estimate of $\phi_{i,m}$ as a function of delay time for each gate following the mid-circuit measurement. The two models agree reasonably well above $t_d\approx900ns$.  We note that a) the effect is much more pronounced (as expected) when 0 is read out than 1, and b) the fit model does not quite follow an exponential decay at low $t_d$. This latter point indicates that while the Stark shift inspired model of Eq.~\eqref{eqn:StarkModel} with free fit parameters is a good effective model for the data, it does not agree with simple microscopic dispersive theory. This indicates that the discrepancy is likely not due to mis-characterization of the system parameters, but of qualitatively distinct physics arising from effects outside of dispersive theory.

\section{SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL}
\section{Device Parameters}\label{app:device}

The superconducting transmon device was fabricated by BBN in collaboration with Raytheon RF Components. The device ground plane, resonators and qubit capacitors are \SI{200}{\nm} niobium sputtered on high-resistivity intrinsic silicon, cleaned with an HF-last RCA clean \cite{Kern1990} before sputtering. The niobium metallization was optically patterned and etched with an \ch{SF6}+\ch{O2} RIE-ICP plasma etch. Post-etch residues were removed using an oxygen ash and a \ch{HF} etch. The qubits' single Josephson junction was patterned using a Dolan bridge \cite{Dolan1977a} technique using a \ch{PMMA}-\ch{MMA} bilayer resist and electron beam lithography. The junction was fabricated using aluminum electron beam evaporation after an \ch{Ar+} ion mill etch to remove surface oxides. The sample was mounted in and wirebonded to a custom copper sample holder, with additional aluminum wirebonds across on-chip resonators to short parasitic resonances. This package was in turn mounted to the cold stage of a dilution refrigerator inside a light-tight, magnetically shielded sample can.

  \caption{Micrograph showing the device studied in this Letter. Q\textsubscript{3} is the central qubit.\label{fig:device}}
\end{figure}

The qubit chip consists of five fixed-frequency transmon qubits, designed to be similar to those described in \cite{Chow2014}, connected by bus resonators in two pairs of three. A micrograph of the device is shown in Figure \ref{fig:device}. For the experiments described in this Letter, only one qubit (Q\textsubscript{3}) is measured, while the other transmons are detuned by at least $\SI{140}{\mega\hertz}$ (with coupling only through bus resonators) and so have no impact on its operation and can thus be safely ignored. Q\textsubscript{3} is dispersively coupled to a readout resonator through which control drives resonant with the qubit are also applied. A detailed description of the control wiring, electronics and software stack can be found in the~\hyperref[app:electronics]{Control Electronics} section. Relevant device parameters are listed in Table \ref{tab:qbparams}. In particular, the photon number population evolution in the qubit cavity and its relaxation time $1/\kappa$ were measured using the Stark shift \cite{McClure2016}. Qubit coherences were measured using standard inversion recovery, Ramsey and Hahn echo sequences, and are listed in Table \ref{tab:coherence}. The $X_{\tfrac{\pi}{2}}$ and $Y_{\tfrac{\pi}{2}}$ qubit rotation gates were implemented as Gaussian pulses with a \SI{60}{\ns} length. Single-qubit error per Clifford gate was measured using randomized benchmarking \cite{ryan2009randomized} and found to be $r = \num{1.1e-3}$ (Fig. \ref{fig:qb_char}a), consistent with the results of GST (Fig. \ref{fig:diamond}). Qubit measurement fidelity, here defined as $F = (P_{0|0} + P_{1|1})/2$, where $P_{1|1}$ is the probability of correctly identifying the qubit state as $\ket{1}$ when prepared in $\ket{1}$, was determined from calibration data taken simultaneously with the QILGST sequences.  To calibrate the measurement fidelity, we used \num{1.3e5} preparations each of the qubit in its ground and excited states. The reflected cavity signal was downconverted and integrated using a matched kernel filter \cite{ryan2015tomography}, and binned resulting in the well-separated readout histograms shown in Figure \ref{fig:qb_char}b. Integrating and taking the difference of these histograms yields a fidelity $F = \SI{96.35}{\percent}$, while an approach using logistic regression \cite{Ding2019} yields a fidelity $F = \SI{96.43}{\percent} \pm \SI{0.7}{\percent} $.

\section{Control electronics}\label{app:electronics}

QILGST control sequences are generated in the \texttt{pyGSTi} software package then compiled and time-ordered using BBN's Quantum Gate Language (QGL)~\cite{qgl}. QGL ouputs a hardware efficient representation of the experiments which are sent to the control hardware over an ethernet interface. The physical control and readout pulses are sequenced using BBN's custom Arbitrary Pulse Sequencer II (APS-II). The sequencing capabilities of the APS-II allow for continuous playback of the QILGST experiments in a interleaved fashion collecting 1024 shots for each $t_d$ without interruption for waveform or data loading.

Our superconducting device is measured in a Bluefors LD-40 dilution refrigerator. Fig.~\ref{fig:circuit_diagram} outlines the complete measurement system. The amplifier pump and qubit control and readout microwave tones are generated using Holzworth9000A microwave synthesizers. To correct for any residual phase instability in the measurement tone, we use an \lq autodyne\rq measurement technique~\cite{ryan2015tomography}. Control and readout pulses are mixed with the microwave tones using Marki IQ-4509 mixers. Control pulses are generated by BBN custom Arbitrary Pulse Sequencer-II (APS-II)~\cite{Ryan2017} units. The readout and control channels are combined at room temperature, and the qubit cavity is measured in reflection through a Krytar directional coupler at the cold stage. A K\&L micro machined 6L250 low-pass filter provides the qubit with protection from high frequency noise above 12 GHz, and a Quinstar QCI cryogenic isolator provides further isolation from the rest of the readout chain. The cavity signal and a pump tone are then combined using a second directional coupler and sent through a Josephson Traveling-Wave Parametric Amplifier (JTWPA). The JTWPA provides roughly 25 dB of gain at the cavity frequency. Additional isolation is provided by a second Krytar QCI isolator and QCY circulator. The readout signal is then amplified at the 4 K stage using an LNF LNC4\_8C HEMT amplifier.

Outside the cryostat, microwaves are amplified further using a L3Harris Narda-MITEQ AMF-4F-04001200-15-10P before downconversion to the \SI{13}{\mega\hertz} intermediate frequency with a Marki doubly balanced mixer. A Stanford Research Systems SR445A preamplifier with a voltage gain of 25 is the last stage of amplification before the signal is captured using a X6-1000M Innovative Integration digitizer card running custom firmware~\cite{QDSP} which further decimates, digitally downconverts and integrates the data using a matched filter \cite{ryan2015tomography}. Data collection and pipelining is orchestrated by a the Auspex software package~\cite{auspex}. All sources, digitizers and sequencers share a global 10 MHz clock provided by an SRS SF725 Rubidium frequency standard.

\begin{figure}

  \caption{Experimental diagram. Microwave control signals are synthesized at room temperature and mixed up to the qubit and cavity frequencies. These signals are routed into a dilution refrigerator and bounce off the qubit sample. The microwaves then pass through both a JTWPA and HEMT amplifier before being down-mixed and further amplified again at room temperature. Microwave attenuation levels are listed for each temperature stage of the dilution refrigerator. The measurement signal from the cavity is converted to an intermediate frequency using an autodyne technique~\cite{ryan2015tomography} and digitized using an commercially available digitzer running custom firmware~\cite{QDSP}.  \label{fig:circuit_diagram}}
\end{figure}

\section{QILGST Simulations}
In the main text, we demonstrated that QILGST worked correctly using simulated data. Here we provide the details of these simulations. We simulated single-qubit QILGST on a gate set consisting of $\nicefrac{\pi}{2}$ rotations around the $\sigma_{x}$ and $\sigma_{y}$ axes, mid-circuit and terminating measurements in the $\sigma_{z}$ basis, and state preparation in $\ket{0}$. The target QI is $\gate{Q}_{\text{target}} =\{\gate{Q}_{\text{target},0},\gate{Q}_{\text{target},1}\}$ where
\begin{equation}
\gate{Q}_{\text{target},k}[\rho] =  \text{Tr}\left[\frac{1}{2}\left(\sigma_{I} + (-1)^k\sigma_{z}\right)\rho\right]\left(\sigma_{I} + (-1)^k\sigma_{z}\right).
\label{eq:zQI1}
\end{equation}
We generated 100 different error models. Errors on the mid-circuit measurement were randomly sampled, and errors on all other operations were held constant. The X and Y operations each had over-rotations of $10^{-3}$ radians along both X and Y axes and were subject to $10^{-2}$ depolarization, while SPAM was subject to $10^{-3}$ depolarization.  The mid-circuit measurement was subject to randomly chosen errors, both on the classical and quantum portions of the channel.  With a probability chosen uniformly from 0 to $10^{-2}$ the $|0\rangle$ was misidentified as $|1\rangle$ (and vice-versa, with another independently chosen probability).  Additionally, X and Y coherences were chosen to persist post-mid-circuit measurement, both strengths equal but chosen uniformly at random between $0$ and $10^{-2}$.

For each error model, we simulated drawing $N$ samples from each of the QILGST circuits, with $N$ varying logarithmically from 16 to 1024. For the data with each value of $N$, we applied the QILGST analysis to obtain an estimate of the gate set. We then computed half the diamond distance between the estimated QI $\widehat{\gate{Q}}$ and the \emph{true} QI $\gate{Q}_{\text{true}}$ used in the simulation (\emph{not} $\gate{Q}_{\text{target}}$), as a measure of the estimation inaccuracy. Fig.~\ref{fig:simulations} shows estimation inaccuracy versus $N$. It scales as $\nicefrac{1}{\sqrt{N}}$ (standard quantum-limited scaling), indicating that QILGST is correctly reconstructing the QI up to the expected statistical fluctuations.

\section{QILGST Experimental Results}
Here we include some additional analysis of the QILGST experimental results. Fig~\ref{fig:diamond} shows the the half diamond distance error ($\epsilon_{\diamond}$) for each gate for $t_d \geq 1020$ (when the datasets are Markovian). We examine the estimates obtained from both QILGST and LGST.  (The latter does not incorporate circuits containing any mid-circuit measurements, and therefore does not reconstruct an estimate for the quantum instrument.). There is good agreement between the LGST and QILGST reconstructions of the non-QI operations, and the error rates are reasonably stable across the examined delay times.

We also provide the QILGST reconstruction of $\widehat{\mathcal{G}}(\SI{2020}{ns})$ in Table \ref{tab:gatevals}.

\section{Stark Shift Model for Non-Markovian Error}

The QILGST fits in the main text show evidence for a considerable amount of non-Markovian error. A possible model to explain this error is the AC-Stark shift of the qubit frequency due to residual photons in the measurement cavity leftover from the mid-circuit measurement. The AC-Stark shift will be time-dependent as the photons leak out of the cavity, and thus induce a non-Markovian error on subsequent gates following the mid-circuit measurement. A qubit-only Hamiltonian describing this error model is given by
\begin{align}
    H(t) = H_{k} + \delta(t) \sigma_z,
\end{align}
where $H_{k}$ for $k \in \{x,y\}$ is the Hamiltonian describing the intended gate, and $\delta$ is a parameter describing the Stark-shift. Based on the lowest order dispersive theory, we would expect that $\delta(t) = \chi n(t)$, where $n(t) = \left<\hat{a}^\dagger\hat{a}\right>(t) = n_{i}e^{-\kappa t}$ is the time-dependent expectation value of the cavity photon population, with $n_{i}$ the initial photon population that depends on the outcome of the mid-circuit measurement, labeled by $i \in \{0,1\}$, as we drive on one of the shifted cavity lines for measurement. All parameters in this model have been measured by independent calibration experiments, see Table \ref{tab:qbparams}.

The gate generated by this Hamiltonian is given by
\begin{align}
    G_{k}(t) = \mathcal{T}_{\leftarrow}\exp\left(-i\int_{t_0}^{t_0 + t_{\rm gate}} H(t) dt\right) \approx \exp\left(-i\int_{t_0}^{t_0 + t_{\rm gate}} H(t) dt\right) = \exp\left( -i\left[H_{k}t_{\rm gate} + \varphi_{i,m} \sigma_z\right]\right),
\end{align}
where the approximation sign is an indication that we have approximated the full time-ordered integral with the first order term of the Magnus expansion. We have verified that the second order term of the Magnus expansion results in a phase error that is at least an order of magnitude smaller than the first order phase error $\varphi_{i,m}$. From the experimental calibration and dispersive theory, the first order phase error is given by
\begin{align}
    \varphi_{i,m}(t_d) = \frac{\chi}{n_{i}}\left(1 - e^{-\kappa t_{\rm gate}}\right)e^{-\kappa\left(mt_{\rm gate} + t_{d}\right)}, \label{eqn:phiBBN}
\end{align}
where $m \in \{0,1,2\}$ labels the gates following the mid-circuit measurement.

For the modelling results presented in the main text, we approximate the implemented gate more accurately by replacing $H_{k}$ with $\log(\widehat{G}_k)$, the generator \cite{blumekohout2021taxonomy} of the superoperator representation of the gate $\widehat{G}_k$ characterized by QILGST at 2020ns delay. We model each gate following the mid-circuit measurement as
\begin{align}
\widehat{G}_{k}(\alpha, r, i, m) = \exp[\log(\widehat{G}_{k}) + \alpha_i(t_d) \exp(-mr_i) \mathcal{Z}], \label{eqn:StarkModel}
\end{align}
where
\begin{align}
    \alpha_i(t_d) = \frac{\chi}{n_{i}}\left(1 - e^{-\kappa t_{\rm gate}}\right)e^{-\kappa t_{d}},
\end{align}
and $r_i = \kappa t_{\rm gate}$ under the dispersive model.

In addition to the model given above with $\varphi_{i,m}$ of Eq.~\eqref{eqn:phiBBN} determined entirely by independently characterized parameters, we also fit a model of the form of Eq.~\eqref{eqn:StarkModel} with all $\alpha_i(t_d)$ and $r_i$ as free parameters. For this model fitting, these free parameters are independently fit at each delay time, and for each mid-circuit measurement result. The model fit results in a phase error
\begin{align}
    \phi_{i,m}(t_d) = \alpha_i(t_d)e^{-mr_i}.
\end{align}

Fig.~\ref{fig:z-rotation} shows the calculated value of $\varphi_{i,m}$, and the fit estimate of $\phi_{i,m}$ as a function of delay time for each gate following the mid-circuit measurement. The two models agree reasonably well above $t_d\approx900ns$.  We note that a) the effect is much more pronounced (as expected) when 0 is read out than 1, and b) the fit model does not quite follow an exponential decay at low $t_d$. This latter point indicates that while the Stark shift inspired model of Eq.~\eqref{eqn:StarkModel} with free fit parameters is a good effective model for the data, it does not agree with simple microscopic dispersive theory. This indicates that the discrepancy is likely not due to mis-characterization of the system parameters, but of qualitatively distinct physics arising from effects outside of dispersive theory.

Indian Railways and BHEL Sign MOU for setting up of Memu Coaches Manufacturing facility at Bhilwara
In the presence of the Minister of Railways Shri Pawan Kumar Bansal and the Minister for Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises Shri Praful a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed here today between Indian Railways and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) for setting up of Greenfield MEMU coaches manufacturing facility by BHEL at Bhilwara in Rajasthan. The signatories to the MOU were Shri Kul Bhushan, Member Electrical Railway Board, and Shri B. P. Rao, CMD, BHEL.
Main Line Electric Multiple Unit Trains, popularly known as MEMU trains were first introduced in Indian Railways in the Year 1994-95, as a mode of rapid transit system, to cater to non-suburban passengers, residing in small towns and villages surrounding urban and industrial centres. MEMU trains have higher passenger carrying capacity and higher average speed as compared to conventional loco hauled passenger trains due to faster acceleration and braking characteristics. These rakes are now being manufactured with toilet facilities to take care of passenger needs. MEMU trains increase the line capacity utilisation, and therefore are more suitable for running on high traffic density routes.
These MEMU trains have gained rapid popularity over the years. Currently, there are about 160 MEMU services running. There are demands coming from all over the country for running more and more MEMU trains. The demand for these coaches will further increase as Indian Railways have plans to Electrify approximately 15000 route kilometre during the next 10 years, in addition to the existing 22000 route kilometre of electrified track. There was a shortfall in acquisition of 800 MEMU coaches during XIth Plan Period due to capacity constraints at Rail Coach Factory, Kapurthala, where these MEMU coaches are produced. Overall it is expected that the requirement of MEMU coaches will grow to nearly 9000 coaches during the next 10 year period. Setting up of factory for conventional MEMU coaches will go a long way in meeting this demand.
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) is a Maharatna Central Public Sector Unit (CPSU) company, which is a partner of Indian Railways for a period spanning more than 40 years. It has been manufacturing and supplying electric rolling stock including EMUs and MEMUs; as well as sub-assembly and equipment for rolling stock being manufactured at IR's own production units.
The proposed facility for production of MEMU coaches will be set up by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) at Bhilwara in the State of Rajasthan. The entire cost will be borne by BHEL. Government of Rajasthan will provide land to Railways, for setting up the project. In order to make the project viable, Ministry of Railways will give Assured Off- Take orders to BHEL.

So I'm halfway there, the animation works on hover, but I've not worked out a way to reverse the animation on exit.
Anyone know a way to achieve this? And also, if there is a simpler way to achieve the first step I'd be happy to learn it.
Thanks.

A: I tried to write some new code on your solution but was too bad to manage it so i leave that to somebody else.. But i did manage to solve the animation back with the way your code worked...
So what i did was to just create another keyframe when not hovering.. (on the a tag) with the same animation attributes you used ...
a{
animation-name:hoverout;
animation-duration: .1s;
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}

and then i made a new keyframe exactly like yours but backwards...
@keyframes hoverout {
100% {
background: linear-gradient(white, white 100%, $hovercolor 80%, $hovercolor);}
90% {
background: linear-gradient(white, white 90%, $hovercolor 70%, $hovercolor);}
80% {
background: linear-gradient(white, white 80%, $hovercolor 60%, $hovercolor);}
70% {
background: linear-gradient(white, white 70%, $hovercolor 50%, $hovercolor);}
60% {
background: linear-gradient(white, white 60%, $hovercolor 40%, $hovercolor);}
50% {
background: linear-gradient(white, white 50%, $hovercolor 30%, $hovercolor);}
40% {
background: linear-gradient(white, white 40%, $hovercolor 20%, $hovercolor);}
30% {
background: linear-gradient(white, white 30%, $hovercolor 20%, $hovercolor);}
20% {
background: linear-gradient(white, white 20%, $hovercolor 10%, $hovercolor);}
10% {
background: linear-gradient(white, white 10%, $hovercolor 0%, $hovercolor);}
0% {
background: linear-gradient(white, white 0%, $hovercolor 0%, $hovercolor);}
}

Hope this helped! here is a working fiddle too: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/pREadY

Q: What is the XPath to an attribute of an svg Element? Lets say my website contains multiple svg elements and I want to find the following:
<svg id="some-svg-id" />

How can I find this svg via its id?
I aware that //*[local-name()='svg'] finds all svg elements but how can I narrow it further down to one specific via its id?

A: Try this one
//svg[@id='some-svg-id']

or, since id should be unique, this one:
//*[@id='some-svg-id']

A: Hi you can use below solution to fix your problem:
//[name()='svg']//[local-name()='g' and @class='your-class-name']
or
//[name()='svg']//[local-name()='g' and @class='your-class-name']//*[text='rect']
Use * after // something like : //*


There are two interesting conferences coming up this autumn: in September, the Polish Association for Environmental Archaeology has a conference on environmental archaeology on urban sites and in October, the Association for Environmental Archaeology has a conference on Subsistence and surplus production. The AEA conference has finished their programme and there are quite a few interesting talks. The Polish conference, on the other hand, is still open for submissions.
I'm planning to attend the urban archaeology conference and (hopefully) present something there. I haven't quite decided whether to go for the furriers' workshop in Winchester and associated European fur trade, or do a methodology based talk on tanning, horn working and bone working. The fur talk is less multidisciplinary (and therefore less likely to be accepted), but is based on actual finds, whereas the more multidisciplinal methodology talk is less "news" for the experienced people in the audience. Especially since my main thing seems to be "Look, it's more complicated", which is less exciting than "It's more complicated, but this is a possible solution. Tune in again next year for my follow-up talk/article". And since I didn't get the Ph.D. in Lund, it might be a bit optimistic to assume that time and money for an extensive study will show up soon and at the same time.
Unfortunately, the application deadline is 31 May, so I don't have much time to decide (and write).

10 Tips on Reducing the Environmental Impact of Your City Building Project
Building in a city comes with a unique set of challenges to overcome. To see a project to its fruition, there must be many environmental considerations taken into account. The main purpose of carrying out a self-build venture is to achieve autonomy and sustainability, so the focus on reducing eco-impact is at the forefront. So much so that there will be many hoops to jump through from planning permission councils. Below are ten tips for reducing the environmental impact of your city build, and ways you can carry them out.
Location Is Key
Use Sustainable Materials
Protect the Native Wildlife
Be Clever with Water
Incorporate Green Energy Choices
Insulate
Use Local Companies and Suppliers
Don't Overdo It
Landscaping Matters
The location of your building project is a key factor. In the city, there are always empty plots to be found, and land should never be wasted. So, if it is possible to search out sites that have potential despite outward appearances, it will make use of a space that is lying dormant and would be victim to vandalism or similar crimes. These spaces, like old parking lots, park areas that have fallen into disuse, abandoned buildings, or other similar dilapidations are all viable options to explore and usually have an owner willing to sell for a reasonable price too. Aim for a place close to work or essential amenities to further reduce personal vehicle usage too.
Sustainable materials are clearly the better choice when it comes to catering to positive environmental practices. Avoiding concrete every step of the way, for instance, can significantly reduce the carbon cost of the building initiative and there are several alternates that yield nowhere close to the scale of harm as the original type.
There is always unavoidable disruption to the site plot with the local wildlife, plant life and ecosystems. Before you make any further plans, there are certain species that are protected by law and several eco policies in place to efficiently protect biodiversity to be observed. Bats are a prime example, and a bat survey in a big city such as London is a surprisingly common necessity. If there are suspected colonies, it is in fact more than worthwhile to invest in a professional bat survey. A bat survey in London will deduce the best course of action and avoid fines or similar penalties. A full-scale approach that paints a bigger picture is the most eco-friendly option.
Water is one of the best, eco-friendly natural resources that building projects can take advantage from. Recycled rainwater to use in appliances, despite it being inefficient for consumption purposes, is highly useful for toilets and similar. Installing a rainwater collection system is easy and despite the initial cost, there are monetary advantages in the long-term when it comes to your water bill.
Smart meters like thermostats and similar have numerous advantages and can make a home reliably more sustainable. They are a version of AI style technology that pars with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connections to control various aspects of the building like the heating and the lighting. They can be set remotely, and they serve to learn your energy habits to predict patterns and adapt for sustainability.
Sustainable energy will be commonplace within the next century. Future homes will run off green energy as opposed to fossil fuels, and it is easy to see why. There are untold benefits to converting and building with a greener focus, whether that is solar panel installation or biomass boilers, everything counts. Here are the highlights.
It won't run out.
It is safer.
It does not drain the Earth of natural resources.
There are no carbon emissions.
There are still some barriers to overcome, such as the availability factor and overcoming the initial steep costs of some avenues. However, overall renewable energy is the way forward.
Insulation is one of the most common factors to be overlooked in renovations and new builds, yet it holds such sustainable value. The most efficient insulation aids temperature control in terms of retention and reducing the impact of the changing climate internally.
Local companies and suppliers are more likely to take the local area into their calculations. They have an emotive stake in the area and rely on connections to build upon their portfolio and schedules. So, not only will you be supporting smaller businesses as opposed to corporate chains, but you will also be investing into your future community. It reduces travel costs and fuel demands, while establishing a core, shared interest.
If you have dreams of building a three storey, ten-bedroom property, then that would surely be an interesting adventure. However, to truly implement sustainability on such a scale would be a cataclysmic demand, and the cost would be phenomenal. Near to 40% of the country's carbon impact is found in housing matters, and eco-homes tend to be on a smaller agenda. The focus is usually on function rather than decadence. That does not mean that there cannot be luxurious touches; in fact, quite the opposite is true. The bigger the building, the bigger the environmental impact.
Landscaping, aka how you treat the plants and such, is important too. Plan a space to cater to the needs of the land. If there is a history of drought, for example, don't install lots of thirsty flowers that are going to be neglected as they will A) perish and B) potentially draw vital water sources unnecessarily. Factor in drainage procedures into the landscape plan, as every property requires efficient drainage which does impact the surroundings.
Reducing the environmental impact of your city build is more accessible in modern times. With such a noticeable collective focus on sustainable integration, the whole world is watching what the construction industry does next. When you decide to become a part of that through a self-build project, you enter this world, and it is your environmental responsibility to respect eco-practices and produce an Earth friendly final result. Whether your focus lies on green or recycled building materials, or the in-house energy usage, there is something to be done in every corner that will impact the carbon cost and carbon footprint.

What do young people think about Will Smith?
Written by Team. Posted in News
Well, 2014 has well and truly started and there's no let up for the team with lots of analysis being undertaken in the coming months. Last year we finished all our school data collection and began coding and analysing the data from the group interviews, and we've now moved on to looking at the individual interviews with our participants which explore in greater depth their own aspirations and imagined futures. These interviews were fascinating to conduct and now to return to. We'll be posting blogs about those individual interviews soon, but we thought we'd start the year by reflecting further on some of the initial analysis we've conducted on our group interview data. In these group interviews, we focused on exploring young people's views on celebrity culture: the celebrities they liked, disliked, and how these evaluations of 'good' and 'bad' celebrities were made. As we've discussed elsewhere, while many of our 12 case study celebrities generated relatively mixed views among our participants, one celebrity in particular was universally liked, if not loved: Will Smith, variously located as an inspirational role model, a dream father, an entertaining friend and 'cool guy'. In this blog post Kim explores some of the patterns and themes in young people's talk about Will in those group interviews and begins to question what these might reveal about young people's collective sense making in relation to aspiration, success and race.
As mentioned already, the discussions of Will were overwhelmingly positive. Will was regularly named in the 'like' list/ pile even when he wasn't discussed at length. Indeed, talk about Will tended to be relatively fleeting in comparison to some of the lengthy discussions about other celebrities such as Justin Bieber or Kim Kardashian. Will generated most talk in the all-male group interview in one of our South West Schools where one participant even chose Will Smith as his pseudonym, and another chose Carlton (another character from Will's popular TV series, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air).
Many of the quotes below are drawn from that particular group, however, as we've just been observing in our initial analysis of the individual interviews, the ways in which these young people talked about Will were replicated across almost all of the 48 individual interviews where Will was described as the celebrity they'd most like to befriend if our 12 case study celebrities were their age and attended their school – frequently seen as someone who would be friendly, make you laugh, and be humble and down to earth, and an 'all round great guy'.
Cool Will: 'He's just the boss'
Will was described as 'decent', 'awesome', 'cool', 'the boss', 'down to earth' and 'funny', as in this group of 16 to 17 year-olds from the South West:
Heather: Right. You're just a Will Smith fan aren't you? Yeah, I've got that.
Will: He's just the boss.
Harry: He's just one of them guys that you're like….
Male: Yeah, all the way
Will: it's the nod, nod of appreciation. …
Heather: Okay. Why is everyone such a big fan of Will Smith? Just that he's really cool and he.
Male: He's funny
Male: He seems to get along with everyone.
Male: He plays basketball and he does everything
Male: He's just hot
Male: He's just really, really funny. …
Male: He's just awesome.
Male: You can just tell.
Male: He's just cool.
Will's capacity to make people laugh was also referenced: 'Um, he's just funny. [laughter] He just makes me laugh that's it really' (Ryan, Year 10). As I said above, Will's sociability – his assumed capacity to make people laugh, to light you up and make you feel good, also came across strongly in the individual interviews.
Quite often, Will was aligned with 'being real': decent and down to earth in comparison to celebrities who are 'up themselves':
Like when he's been on like TV shows he comes across as quite a funny person. Coz he's like down to earth. (George, London, year 12)
Yeah, there's probably some that are really up themselves and then like … There's others that are actually, like decent people. … Like Will Smith. I'm sure he rocks … He's probably a decent guy, right. (Will, South West, Year 12)
Elsewhere I have discussed how this 90s TV show continues to have a central role in shaping Will's public image for a generation of young people who were not even born when it first aired, and in our research it is evident that Will's affiliation with the Fresh Prince… is indeed central to his 'cool' and almost 'Peter Pan'-esque image – as someone who just never gets old.
Heather: I remember him from um, what's that show he used to do?
Male: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. [overlapping talk]
Male: Brilliant programme.
Male: So cool.
Heather: Yeah. He was so young then wasn't he?
Male: He doesn't age though. He looks exactly the same.
Male: He doesn't!
Inspiration: Talent, Skill and Hard work
Will's skills and career longevity as an actor were referenced by participants. He was discussed as a talented and good actor with a broad skill set and long list of career accomplishments based on hard work and dedication. As we can see in this quote below, Will was seen as inspirational, representing the broader virtues and ideals of having a long and solid career.
He is wicked. He is like, well, Fresh Prince, innit? [laughter] That's why I'm- he's just- like how long he's been acting for, it's like a very long time, so. And the age he started at, it's like … You know, inspirational. (Dr Lighty, London, Year 12)
Such an emphasis on Will's career success is important in relation to young people's own aspirations and notions of successful and happy futures, where achieving a sustainable and 'good' job – and being able to inspire others – was clearly important to them.
Family: 'The Smiths'
A final key theme in young people's talk about Will in the group interviews revolved around his role as a father and 'family man' – in particular, his relationship with his son Jaden who has followed his father's footsteps into the world of acting.
In one group of London Year 12 pupils, one participant – Dr Lighty – discusses whose life he'd want. He moves from Obama to 'Jaden', rationalising this on the basis of both Jaden's success at a young age, and the virtue of having Will Smith as a father.
Dr Lighty: I'd actually choose um, Obama's life. [laughter]
Strawberry: Too much pressure man, what?
Pringles: Yeah.
Laura: Obama in what way?
Dr Lighty: Like anything I want. No Jaden Smith, sorry, [Strawberry draws deep intake of breath and sniggers] he's at a young age as well, and he's got Will Smith.
This fantasy of Will as your father resonates with the many 'I wish Will Smith would adopted me' memes on Twitter which I've observed.
In another school, in Manchester, a group of Year 10 participants refered to the Smiths as spending their money well – not flaunting it – which we get's read as a sign of being 'down to earth' and authentic (as discussed above).
Kim: So is it when people are celebrities and they get lots of money, and they're not letting it go to their head, is that what you mean?
Somaya: Yes. Like not letting other people, like other celebrities are like, 'I have lots of', like the kind of the way they react. Or 'I have lots of money', then you don't have it, or.
Kim: Okay.
Somaya: Not be so selfish.
Kim: Okay. Yeah.
Anjali: Yeah, like, like, Will, the Smith family like they have got a lot of money … and they don't act like 'yeah I have a lot of money. I can do whatever I want' so.
This discussion resonates with the way Will himself talks about his family as being oriented to career happiness, creativity and self- fulfillment rather than monetary gain or fame, captured in this interview where Will contrasts the 'Smiths' to the 'fame-seeking' Kardashian family.
What might this mean?
The elevation of Will Smith as an 'ideal' celebrity among young people demands unpicking. In many ways we might celebrate the universal appeal of Will as a 'strong' and positive black role model for young people (and indeed, in our own experiences of disseminating the research to the media we have seen how widely held these positive readings of Will are). However, as we've discussed in greater detail elsewhere, our analysis of Will's media representation has turned up some interesting if somewhat unsettling material which point to the post-racial fantasies and neoliberal narratives of success which are embodied in Will Smith's celebrity persona.
We've found Sara Ahmed's work particularly useful in thinking critically about the ways in which Will is positioned by our participants as a source of inspiration and pleasure. Sara uses the term 'happy object' to describe something that represents things seen as socially good so that, through feeling happy about those objects, we align ourselves with 'normal' and socially approved ways of being. In view of the 'sickening work ethic' Will espouses alongside his claims that racism no longer exists, we have argued that aligning ourselves with Will as a 'happy object' brings 'good feelings' that are rooted in post-racial fantasies of meritocracy and neoliberal myths about the power of the individual to overcome disadvantage.
As I discuss in this video, we find this problematic because it erases the presence of racial inequalities and practices of discrimination which continue to shape young people's trajectories. Recent research shows that regardless of the qualifications they accomplish or the 'sickening work ethic' they may hold, young people from minority ethnic backgrounds face very different opportunity structures to their White counterparts. To argue as Will does that race no longer matters is itself injurious to young Black men for whom – as the recent cases of Mark Duggan in the UK and Trayvon Martin in the US demonstrate – being a young Black man in the 21st century is still an 'ontological crime: a crime of being'. These are themes we'll be exploring in further depth in our paper at the forthcoming Celebrity Studies conference.

Last year when I went on the Forks Chamber of Commerce Logging and Mill Tour, it was a sad trip. It was the last time the tour would ever be stopping at Allen's Mill. Everyone wondered if the tours would continue.
But the tours never missed a beat, commencing again last May and going all summer. Most of the time, the new tour bus has been full!
Last Thursday morning I was joined on the tour with RVers, Elks Club members who had been camping at the Forks Elks Lodge. The tours usually happen on Wednesdays, but this extra tour had been added.
Forks Chamber's Executive Director Lissy Andros checked everyone in at the Visitor Center. She then checked their shoes (proper footwear is required) and as everyone buckled up, she told the group about the lovely new/used tour bus they were sitting in — one that was purchased with the help of a Port of Port Angeles grant and other community donations.
Off we went with veteran log truck driver Butch Kuchan at the wheel and Richard Halverson doing the talking. We headed south for the White Rock Road, or the Red Rock Road, or the Seahawks Rock Road. This day, it was white with "Channel 22" painted on it.
We got to a thinning sale for Rygaard Logging. Kelly Oakes of Port Angeles was working the sale. Oakes Logging is a family affair, with dad Kelly and his two sons.
Everyone watched as Oakes finished loading one truck and then another. He and his son Jake then got out of their machines and answered a ton of questions. Oakes explained the thinning sale process and answered questions about bidding sales and 'Do you take a vacation' and 'What time do you get up in the morning?' (the answer was 2 a.m.) He also spoke about the high cost of L&I (Labor & Industries) and its impact on his business.
Oakes said someone from a Boston newspaper was recently out taking photos of them logging.
The group then made their way down the road a bit to watch the Oakes' other son operate the feller-buncher.
As we left, I reminded Oakes that I knew him in second or third grade … I was crushed that he did not remember me. His family moved from Forks to Port Angeles when he was in fourth grade.
The next stop was Long Cedar, on Russell Road. Halverson explained the process of shingle/shake making and described what we were seeing on the stacks of bundled shakes. As we entered the mill, Halverson asked that those takings videos and pictures NOT distract the sawyer! Nobody ever wants to see a severed finger!
Losing Allen's Mill was a real blow to our community, but as long as there are loggers there is still a story to tell — the story of where your wood products come from.
The last tour for this season was Wednesday, Aug. 31. Tours resume again next May.


The losers must feel really unwanted. Two separate candidates in the state of Washington are winning elections from Tuesday even though both are dead. In Des Moines (a Seattle suburb), John Rosentangle, who died at 63 from an illness in August, won 71 percent of the vote in the King County Water District. In Aberdeen, John Erak who passed away at 81 in June is winning in a city council race with 53 percent of the vote. Both passed away after the filing period ended and their names could not be removed from ballots.


WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Authorities say a South Florida man beheaded a dog and duck outside his suburban apartment.
Media outlets report that Palm Beach County deputies responded to the home Tuesday evening and found 28-year-old Javier Orelly digging a hole next to a headless dog. An arrest report says a neighbor had called 911, saying Orelly was kicking and throwing the dog around near a shrine in front of the apartment.
Deputies found the dog's head nearby, next to what turned out to be the remains of a duck.
Orelly faces two animal cruelty charges. A judge ordered him held without bail pending a mental-health evaluation.

London: Finance
David Stewart - Latham & Watkins
Latham & Watkins has a team of 'practical, commercial and hands-on problem solvers' and its US capital markets practice is one of the largest in London. Its emerging markets workload includes representation of both issuers and investment banks on landmark and multi-jurisdictional debt offerings in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The practice advised initial purchasers including Citigroup and Goldman Sachs on the $500m debut issuance by Turkish petrochemicals company Petkim Petrokimya. Sovereign deals are another key feature of the practice and a highlight was the firm's work for joint bookrunners on a $3bn notes offering by the government of Ukraine, which was listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. Both deals were led by key partners Lene Malthasen and David Stewart, who is primarily based in Moscow but spends a significant amount of time in the London office. Malthasen is developing the firm's English and European debt practice, as well as playing a leading role in emerging markets work, and she has extensive experience in liability management transactions. The London practice is also active in the US private placements market, and Malthasen represented TWINSET on a €170m notes issue. Counsel James Baxter also played a key role in that transaction.
Within: Emerging markets
Latham & Watkins is a leading player in debt capital markets transactions involving emerging markets. The practice has extensive experience in Russia and the CEE region, as well as other key jurisdictions. Debt specialist Lene Malthasen is a key partner in the group, and frequently advises on Rule 144a issuances and liability management transactions in Russia, the CIS, the Middle East, Southern Europe and Asia. Last year, she advised the joint bookrunners on a $3bn notes offering and tender offer by the Government of Ukraine. The firm has worked closely with JPMorgan on all bond issuances out of Ukraine since 2016. David Stewart, who works between the London and Moscow offices, focuses on the broader CEMEA region, bringing his knowledge of US securities law to bear on debut bond offerings and liability management transactions. Malthasen and Stewart worked together to assist JPMorgan and Citigroup with an offering of loan participation notes to fund a loan to the State Export-Import Bank of Ukraine. Also recommended are counsels Ed Kempson and James Baxter for transactions in Russia and the CIS region; and project development and finance partner John Balsdon, who frequently handles oil and gas projects in emerging markets.
Within: Capital markets
Clients value Latham & Watkins LLP's 'combined knowledge of Russian, English and US legal legislation and market practices' and their 'ability to handle domestic and multi-jurisdictional transactions with great expertise from the Moscow office'. The firm has strong capabilities in debt and equity capital markets and in recent work advised RusHydro on its issuance of $360m 7.4% LPNs due 2021. Other highlights include assisting Obuv Rossii with its IPO listed on the Moscow Stock Exchange.

Information law for company participants – the search for a balance of interests
At the present time, in various legal relationships there exists the acute problem of observing a balance of interests concerning the parties involved in these legal relationships, their legal rights, and their mutual economic needs. Judicial practice, when considering disputes between these kinds of parties, takes into consideration not only the formal requirements of legislation, but also the real economic and legal goals and interests of the participants.

What businessmen should know about legislative changes with major and interested transactions?
It is well known that before making significant managerial decisions, the general director must obtain approval from the shareholders or the board of directors. Apart from that, if a director is personally interested in entering into a transaction, approval is also required to proceed with the transaction. In the absence of such an approval, the transaction can be challenged and, in certain circumstances, invalidated. In order to minimize such risks and to eliminate legal uncertainty for the parties to the transaction, the rules governing major transactions and interested transactions must be sufficiently clear. Previously, however, the application of these rules was associated with a large number of controversial legal issues, which were finally solved as a result of the legislative amendments, which will enter into force on January 1, 2017. According to the new amendments, the distinction between major and non-major transactions has been delineated more clearly, parties have been allowed more flexibility in relation to approving transactions, the burdensome obligation to obtain prior approval of interested transactions has been abrogated, and finally the procedure for challenging transactions in question has been made much more complex. Overall, the changes should have a positive influence on business, as they contribute to the establishment of firm legal certainty in this area of the law.

Voting restoration amendment in Florida excludes registered sex offenders
Amendment 4, which will be on Florida's ballot in the upcoming November elections, is a voting rights restoration for felons initiative.
A "yes" vote supports this amendment to automatically restore the right to vote for people with prior felony convictions, except those convicted of murder or — you guessed it — a felony sexual offense, upon completion of their sentences, including prison, parole, and probation.
Due to the exclusion of those with certain prior felony records, the Human Rights Defense Center opposes the amendment. According to ballotpedia.org, "Paul Wright, founder and executive director of the Human Rights Defense Center, a nonprofit based in Lake Worth that advocates for progressive criminal justice reform, wrote the following in the Tallahassee Democrat:
The problem with Amendment 4 is that it perpetuates the discrimination and bigotry of disenfranchisement against a subclass of ex-felons – those convicted of murder or sex crimes. If Amendment 4 passes, it will enshrine into our state constitution discrimination against convicted murderers and sex offenders that will make enfranchising them virtually impossible. While some may point to the serious nature of their offenses, they have nothing to do with voting. The punishment of disenfranchisement does not fit the crime.
I was convicted of murder in Washington State in 1987 for killing a drug dealer during an armed robbery. In 1990, while serving a 25-year sentence, I started a nonprofit magazine from my prison cell which today employs 18 people to advocate for just, humane and fair criminal justice policies. I pay taxes, work to improve my community and am a productive member of society. But the backers of Amendment 4 would deny me the right to vote."
The organization is available for information and for interviews.

I read about this just a few weeks ago. Should this ammendment pass as written, I think it presents an opportunity for a constitutional challenge. Of particular note, many "sex crimes" that can require registration are misdemeanor – nonfelony offenses. Meanwhile, the amendment returns voting rights to most felony convictions; seems a good argument can be made based on equal protection.
I understand equal protection has been argued before with lititle success, however most arguments revolve around whether punishment (registry) is unfairly applied to one group. And, that argument typically gets diverted to the "it's not punishement, because it's a civil regulation" BS.
In this case, however, the state is essentially granting very favorable 1st ammendment (right to vote) rights to all but SO's. And, that fact, cannot be reasonably defended by the commerce clause. It's discriminatory, and a violation. It's not based on a felony; and, of course, it's not based on reason.

There are many states that strip felons of their rights to vote, keep and bare firearms, hold public office to name a few. If the government wants to make felons second or even third class citizens, why should felons pay taxes? Kinda seems like a taxation without representation situation. What was it that the colonists did in response to that? Why is it that law makers feel that making such laws is anywhere close to what the United States of America would allow? Laws like this seem to me to be clearly anti American yet they are in place and being enforced. Is it not the job of SCOTUS to speak in a clear voice as to what laws are in violation of the rights of US citizens?
I have done a lot of research into what the "founding Fathers" intended when they put together the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I can not see how the government has been allowed to go this far outside of what this country is intended to be.
For any level of government to remove the right to vote from any non incarcerated american is crazy. For such laws to be allowed by Americans to continue is beyond insane to me.

What do they think we are going to do once we have the right to vote???
I agree that it is definitely taxation without representation!
I am a business went. I have was released in 2006 and have worked my butt off to run my business dealing with the other discriminatory laws that prevent me from getting certain professional licenses. I have worked hard to help those around me like, my employees, customers (some are in law enforcement/corrections etc.. I have done everything I can to not even create the appearance of impropriety! I have paid my taxes and they are happy to take my money!
But, they are not okay with granting me even equal rights! They place barriers in my way so that I can not move out of the country, and demand that I submit to their intrusiveness in my life!
This is definitely descrimination pure and simple!

what do citizens do when their civil rights are blocked and they are marginally oppressed? They either shut up and deal with it, or they put up and protest. Show up en-mass and refuse to leave until you get what you want. Yes they will attack you. This is the way of things. Ask MLK if he would sacrifice all his comfort for the loss of civil liberties. I would bet he would answer in the negative, because he understood the value of human rights. When some one fights you, you fight back or deal with the consequences of acquiescence.
