Severn Trent, UK
Advanced Pressure Management
Severn Trent Water provides water services to 4.5 million customers across the Midlands and Wales. Its Hady DMA, located in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, had a history of pipe bursts and high leakage levels (640 m³/d), which the utility was keen to address.
The DMA has 36.5 kilometres of predominately cast iron pipes and serves a population of 6,245 people, including a critical user, the Chesterfield Royal Hospital.
The site was chosen to be the first to trial i2O's Pump Optimisation solution due to the challenges it faced. The aim was to reduce power consumption and leakage rates, minimise bursts and improve customer service. Prior to the introduction of i2O's Advanced Pressure Management solution, the DMA was supplied with a fixed outlet pressure of 35m, generating unsteady diurnal critical point pressures of between 29m and 34m.
During the trial period and post-optimisation, critical point pressure was targeted at a minimum of 20m. The distribution booster station (DBS) outlet pressure was steadily reduced over a number of weeks to allow the algorithm to learn the relationship between the flow and pressures, and to ensure minimal impact on customers. After a year's operation a number of benefits were identified.
reduction in burst frequency
energy saving from pump operations
reduction in average pressures
reduction in leakage
Optimising pressure within the DMA has also produced a 2.7kg/kWh carbon saving

Q: How to specify computed property dependency in EmberJS on an array of objects that contain another array I am using EmberJS and I am trying to setup the dependency on a computed property. A visitor can contain multiple tickets (an array), and I have access to an object containing an array of visitors. This is my computed property. How can the property be recomputed when a ticket is added to any of the visitors in the visitors array?
App.AttendanceController = App.SlideBaseController.extend
eligibleVisitors:
    (->
        return @getElegibleVisitors()
    ).property('App.state.session.visitors.@each.type')

allEligibleVisitorsAttending:
    (->
        return _.all @getElegibleVisitors(), (visitor)->
            return visitor.tickets.length > 0 and _.any visitor.tickets, (ticket)->
                return ticket.EventID is content.Event.ID
    ).property('App.state.session.visitors.tickets')

getElegibleVisitors:->
    return _.filter App.state.session.visitors, (visitor)->
        return visitor.type isnt App.VisitorTypes['Infant']

A: Something like this should work:
.property('App.state.session.visitors.@each.tickets.@each')
Updates when any ticket is added to any visitor.

A: AFAIK this is not possible right now and won't be for Ember 1.0. See here: https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/issues/541
Nested @each properties don't trigger observers correctly.
I faced a similar problem (nested tree structure) -- I got around it by having each child node have a  reference property to the parent node, and then adding
Node = Ember.Object.extend
  nodeParent: null # to point at parent
  nodeChanged: (->
      @get('nodeParent')?.notifyPropertyChange 'notifier'
  ).observes 'various', 'properties

I used 'notifier' as a general key that other properties on the parent can bind to; when things in the child change, it causes a property change on the parent.notifier, which will in turn trigger other properties you want.
This is a hacky work around. Plus side is that it works, downside is you have to keep track of the child-parent relationship; i.e., for you, each Ticket needs to a reference to its Visitor

Early front-runners Canterbury-Bankstown will face their toughest test yet when they travel south for a gripping encounter with the Melbourne Storm.
The Bulldogs are one of only three teams to win each of their opening two games and have done so off the back of some jaw-dropping rugby league from an attractive backline.
At the weekend it was winger John Sila setting tongues wagging, with a monumental display of power and speed that saw him rack up seven tackle-breaks and an astounding four tries.
His contribution to the Bulldogs' 32-24 win over Parramatta was complemented beautifully by five-eighth Moses Mbye who is beginning to emerge as an NRL certainty.
The Storm endured a much less convincing preparation, slumping to 10-point defeat at the hands of North Queensland after opening their campaign with a solid win against the Dragons.
Storm custodian Denny Solomona could hold the key for the home side after an impressive match in the number 20 jersey last week.
Countering Bulldogs pivot Mbye is Corey McGrady who will need to improve out of sight if the Victorians are in with a shot. This will be won and lost in the halves – and the Bulldogs won't at all mind that.
Tip: Bulldogs by 10 points.
It's tough to find a clear favourite for this battle of the west, with both sides somewhat abandoning the form that saw them clinch impressive victories in Round 1.
Parramatta found themselves stuck in first gear for much of their clash with the Bulldogs, with prop Pauli Pauli and winger James Tuitahi the only Eels to rack up more than 100 metres.
For the Wests Tigers it was defence that let them down from the outset, fullback Kieran Moss crossing for his first of three tries inside the first minute.
The results are a reverse of a fortnight ago when Parramatta put on a 46-point attacking blitz and the Wests Tigers held Newcastle to just 12 points.
If both sides can recapture that form it will make for a fascinating Friday afternoon. If things play out more like last weekend, this could be a dour slug fest.
Home side advantage is really the only indicator here, but a fickle one.
The only positive to take from the Gold Coast's performance last weekend is that their opponents this week were even worse.
In a very worrying sign for Sea Eagles fans, things seem to have picked up where they left off in 2012. Manly coughed up an unforgiveable 15 errors in their 26-14 shellacking at the hands of Newcastle, which would have looked even worse had prop Jake Trbojevic not crossed the line with less than a minute to go.
Five Sea Eagles were forced to make more than 20 tackles in a performance that showed little sign of a silver lining. They will be hoping for a change in fortunes this weekend and it could come in the form of a dejected Titans outfit.
The Titans let in seven tries at home to the Raiders and weren't much better with the ball in hand, fullback Matthew Russell the only player to make triple figures in metres gained.
Both forward packs have been forced to do plenty of tackling over the past fortnight; don't be surprised if the floodgates open this week.
It will be fascinating to see which of the two talented halfbacks Matthew Beddow (Gold Coast) and Zach Nicholls (Manly) puts the pill in the right place at the right time most often. Whoever wins that battle, wins the war.
Tip: Gold Coast by four points.
A sensational comeback win by the Roosters over the Warriors last weekend will give them a pile of confidence as they head into this important clash against Brisbane.
The Broncos travel to Sydney with plenty of soul-searching to do and will go down to the Roosters if they haven't improved since stumbling to a 40-28 loss to the Dragons last week.
Here's hoping both teams are at the tops of their game, with salivating match-ups all over the park lending this clash blockbuster potential.
Brisbane back-rower Caleb Timu was easily the best of a beaten bunch last week (two tries, 25 tackles, five tackle-breaks) and Jack Siejka, his opposite number in the tri-colours is just as explosive. Siejka was quiet last week but his aptitude for the NRL is no secret.
The battle of the five-eighths will also be fascinating, with Brisbane's Kodi Nikorima and the Roosters' Samisoni Langi amongst the best in the game over the opening fortnight.
These two teams are fairly evenly matched from back to front, but expect the Broncos to fire up for a derby they relish.
Oh dear. They are the two words fans of both of these sides will be muttering in response to disastrous, winless, starts to season 2013.
With 70 points scored against them in 160 minutes of football, the Warriors boast the worst defence in the Holden Cup. The bad news doesn't end there – their 28 meagre points thus far have been bettered by every other side.
For Cronulla, their demons are more clear-cut. Their attack has simply failed to fire. Only their opponents this Sunday have scored fewer points.
But a shining light for the Shire boys this season has been centre Anthony Moraitis, whose three tries from two losses this year have been very impressive.
He lines up against David Fusitua, a centre whose reputation has so far outweighed results. The Warriors need him to click, fast.
With both point-scoring and defence emerging as chronic problems for both sides it's difficult to see where tries will come from.
But don't forget, the Warriors lost on the buzzer last weekend. That, and a trip across the Tasman, might just have sucked the wind firmly from their sails.
Tip: Sharks by four points.
Lick your lips, it's time for a tasty top-of-the-table extravaganza.
The Rabbitohs put memories of a heartbreaking two-point loss to the Roosters behind them at the weekend and were probably the best side of the Round in a clinical 32-18 dismantling of the Cronulla Sharks.
Centre Aaron Gray enjoyed the hum of a home crowd as he scored two tries and ran like the wind for 132 metres. His partner in the centres Tyrone Phillips was equally impressive, scoring a try himself, running for 161 metres and breaking five tackles.
Their opponents Penrith remain undefeated and have proven to all and sundry why they deserve their place atop the Holden Cup ladder.
Last week it was more of the same, punctuated by a stunning performance from fullback Kieran Moss who scored a hat-trick of tries, made 214 metres, broke seven tackles and set up a further two four-pointers. All before bedtime.
The battle of the backs that awaits us this Sunday is nothing short of salivating and if you're at the ground it will be difficult to peel yourself away for refreshments.
Expect the Panthers to do it, just, in a high-scoring but tight Sunday-afternoon thriller.
Tip: Panthers by six points.
Both the Raiders and Dragons will be ruing a lack of consistency over the opening rounds, but equally happy that a corner has been turned – the combatants both racking up their first win last weekend.
But the redemption won't last long for one of the sides and one has a funny feeling it will be the Raiders to return to their losing ways.
While the Raiders' 38-24 win over the Titans was infinitely better than their Round 1 farce, the Green Machine did let in 24 points and commit a worrying 15 errors.
Star halfback Mitch Cornish (one try, two try assists) was adequate without being brilliant and the two Raiders wingers ran for a combined total of just 64 metres.
The Dragons' 40-28 win, in contrast, makes for much more convincing reading.
Four of the Dragons' back five made more than 100 metres, lock Kal Collins delivered 51 bone-jarring tackles and the Dragons made a mockery of the Broncos' defence in racking up 43 tackle-breaks. Had they not taken their foot off the gas in the last 10 minutes, the score would have been more representative of their dominance.
All this says that Canberra, though enjoying hometown advantage, will need to lift if they're to head to Newcastle next week with any confidence at all.
Tip: Dragons by 14 points.
Rounding out week three of the Holden Cup are two sides who must feel relieved to have walked away with two points at the weekend.
The Knights, though victorious, might think it best if their clash against the Sea Eagles is soon forgotten. The Novocastrians were forced to trade blows with Manly for most of the match and should have gone on with a much bigger win against a much lesser opponent.
For the Cowboys, the relief will be of a sweeter kind, proving to naysayers that their first round blip was just that. The Melbourne Storm were flattered by the 26-16 scoreline as North Queensland had well and truly wrapped the result up with 15 minutes to play.
Power up front proved a valuable asset for the Cowboys and they will be hoping prop Patrick Kaufusi (126 metres, three tackle-breaks, 23 tackles) carries similar form into this clash.
This week he runs into defensive behemoth Jackson Hill who made 35 tackles last outing and missed precisely zero.
An interesting forwards clash awaits and one that might just tumble in favour of the visitors.
Tip: Cowboys by eight points.

How EDE got its start
Twenty years ago I was teaching ballroom dance for the Bellevue Parks Department. As a former competitive ballroom dancer I was thrilled to be teaching something I loved. I was also coaching cheerleading at a high school, and I didn't really care for it, so I only lasted a year. The people at Bellevue Parks heard I was a cheerleading coach and talked to me about starting a beginning cheer class for younger kids. I wasn't very excited about it...my one year coaching hadn't been entirely positive. We offered the class once and it got cancelled because of low enrollment. I thought, "okay, we tried...moving on." But the Parks people wanted to try once more. They did, and the enrollment maxed out at 20 kids. And the rest, as they say, is history. We soon added Basketball Cheer Squad so we could have fun cheering for a team. The program's name started as Bellevue Dream Elite, but after a year evolved into Eastside Dream Elite to reflect that kids were coming from all over the greater Eastside to participate. We were at first invited to cheer for the Dream Hoops basketball program which is where the "Dream" part comes in our name. But the Dream Hoops program ended up getting cancelled that year, so we started cheering for the Bellevue Parks Youth Basketball League and have been cheering for them ever since. In next month's installment…the first competition team.

Az U541 Szmila (ukránul: Сміла), ex. UK–68 az Ukrán Haditengerészet iskolahajója. Lengyelországban építették 1984–1985-ben. 1996-tól tartozik az Ukrán Haditengerészet állományába. Honi kikötője Odessza.

Története
UK–3 típusú iskolahajó, melyből 20 darabot épített a gdański Wisła hajógyár 1982–1990 között a Szovjet Haditengerészet számára. A Szmila a sorozat 15. egységeként építését 1984-ben kezdték el. 1985-ben bocsátották vízre és agyanabban az évben állították szolgálatba a szovjet Fekete-tengeri Flottánál UK–68 jelzéssel, ahol a szevasztopoli Nahimov Haditengerészeti Akadémia állományába tartozott.

A Fekete Tengeri Flotta 1996-os felosztásakor a hajó az Ukrán Haditengerészethez került, ahol az U541 hadrendi jelzést kapta és a Szmila nevet kapta a Csernyihivi területen fekvő Szmila város után. A hajó az ukrán fennhatóság alá kerülése után is az Ukrán Haditengerészet Nahimov Haditengerészeti Akadémiájához tartozott és Szevasztopolban a Sztrilecka-öbölben volt a bázisa. A Krím 2014-es orosz megszállása idején az orosz csapatok elfoglalták, majd április végén visszajuttatták Ukrajnának, az új bázisa  Odessza lett. A hajó az odesszai Nemzeti Tengerészeti Akadémia Haditengerészeti Karának kötelékében üzemel.

2017 októberétől nagyjavításon tartózkodott Mikolajivben a Fekete-tengeri Hajógyárban, amelyet december 12-én fejeztek be.

Pair Sentenced For Murder, Attempted Murder Outside of Westlake District Church
Posted by Fay Arfa | Apr 11, 2016 | 0 Comments
Two women were sentenced today to decades in state prison for killing a man and attempting to kill another person outside a Westlake district church in 2012, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced.
Janeth Lopez, 26, was sentenced to 40 years to life in state prison, while Ivy Navarrete, 34, was given a 60 years-to-life term by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Curtis Rappe. They were found guilty in November of second-degree murder, attempted murder and felony vandalism. Gun and gang allegations also were found to be true.
At an earlier trial, Pedro Martinez, 27, was convicted of similar counts and was sentenced last March to 100 years to life in prison.
Deputy District Attorney Robert Rabbani of the Hardcore Gang Division said the trio were responsible for the slaying of 25-year-old Andres Ordonez on Nov. 4, 2012.
Lopez sprayed graffiti on the walls of the Iglesia Principe de Paz church in the Westlake area when Ordonez and another parishioner came outside, the prosecutor added.
Martinez, who was sitting in a car nearby, got out of the vehicle and opened fire, killing Ordonez and wounding the other churchgoer. Lopez and Martinez fled and jumped into a car driven by Navarrete.
Case BA404685 was investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department.

The memorial commemorate the people who had served on the twelve New Forest airfields during the second World War. The airfields played an important part in securing the eventual victory, and bought home thousands of prisoners-of-war and service personnel. They were involved in training, flying in defence and on offensive missions, to the ferrying of secret agents into occupied Europe. During D-day thousands of sorties were carried out. In addition to the Royal Air Force, American, Canadian, Free French, Polish, Australian and Czech units were based in the New Forest.

We don't do Mardi Gras, not really...but we absolutely do King Cake. Also, Cajun music; check out our playlist on Spotify.
My dear auntie down south got us this year's King Cake delivered Friday afternoon. That sucker was made Friday MORNING. Rouse's guarantees delivery as quickly after it's baked as possible...and they did it. Baked it before dawn Friday, according to the packaging, and it got here by FedEx by sundown. By my calculations, ten hours from oven to back step at the farm.
We've been consuming it. It's more calories than we're used to, but hey....King Cake!!
For the uninitiated, here's the background of King Cake, including an explanation of the baby stuck in the cake that you see above. Rouse's doesn't put the baby IN the cake; it's a choking hazard. The recipients of the delivered King Cakes, therefore, have to insert said baby into whatever part of the cake they wish. We don't stick the baby anywhere except the icing so you can see it, then we remove it. I think the cats are using it as a toy right now. Which actually is great; EVERYBODY in the house is now enjoying some aspect of King Cake!!
Here are our previous adventures with King Cake: 2010, 2011, 2012. We loves em.
For those of you who do observe Mardi Gras, it's this Tuesday, March 5. As they say down south en Francais....Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Swimming Waikato's partnership with Wintec's Sports Science and Human Performance Department is making huge strides in developing our swimmers in the region and one key project is the development of what we believe is a world class pre-activation programme which is available to every coach and every swimmer in our region. We're confident that our swimmers will benefit hugely through increased flexibility/mobility, body awareness, movement literacy and injury prevention. The pre-activation programme also doubles as entry level strength & conditioning support for junior swimmers.
The programme has been developed, ostensibly, as a swimming-specific warm up, and each and every one of our swimmers will benefit from carrying it out before training and competition .
The is available online in high resolution video-file format. Swimmers and coaches can access these videos on their phones, ipads or laptops. Each video is accompanied by an instructional voice-over to ensure that the swimmer focuses on the correct technique when carrying out the exercise.

\section{Introduction}
Just over a decade ago, Kitaev proposed a model of a many-body ground state that can be exactly solved, yielding a spin liquid with Majorana Fermion excitations~\cite{Kitaev:2006ik,Nasu:2016hga}. He considered a honeycomb lattice with spin 1/2 moments experiencing a bond-dependent exchange, such that different components of the spin couple along different bonds (see Figure~\ref{fig:Kit}a). This model can be realized in materials under the right conditions of crystal electric field, spin-orbit coupling and on-site Coulomb repulsion that produce an insulator with $J_{eff}=1/2$ moments. In systems where the honeycomb lattice is formed by placing the magnetic atom inside edge-sharing octahedra, one can realize the necessary bond-dependent exchange due to the impact of strong spin-orbit coupling on the hopping (see Figure~\ref{fig:Kit})~\cite{Jackeli:2009hz,Kim:2008gi,2017arXiv170107837C}. A key difficulty with this proposal is that additional interaction terms may arise and produce long range order~\cite{Kim:2015iq,Yadav:2016br,Mazin:2012gq,Gretarsson:2013fp}. While some of these terms are enabled simply by symmetry, they are strongly enhanced by lattice distortions that mix the $J_{eff}=1/2$ and $J_{eff}=3/2$ states, altering the hopping terms. Recently, $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ has emerged as a potential candidate to realize a Kitaev quantum spin liquid state~\cite{Plumb:2014hh,Sandilands:2015hn,Nasu:2016hga,Johnson:2015jc,Banerjee:2016jz,Sandilands:2016gr,Cao:2016ep,Kubota:2015gu,Lang:2016jn,Zhou:2016fe,Ran:2017ke,Banerjee:2017dk}.

IR, Raman and photo-emission spectroscopy combined with DFT calculations strongly suggest the system is close to the $J_{eff}=1/2$ limit, with octahedra that are nearly undistorted at low temperatures. Perhaps due to the smaller spin-orbit coupling expected in a $4d$ system, $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ reveals an extremely narrow spin-orbit exciton (2 meV wide) well separated from charge excitations~\cite{Sandilands:2016gr}. Thus the low-energy model of $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ does not contain any charge fluctuations, unlike the $5d$ Ir systems where the spin-orbit and onsite $d{-}d$ excitations are overlapped in energy~\cite{Gretarsson:2013fp}. Perhaps most promising is the observed continuum of magnetic excitations, where the Raman temperature dependence and the excitation dispersion seen by neutrons is consistent with fractional particles expected from the pure Kitaev model~\cite{Nasu:2016hga,Sandilands:2015hn,Glamazda:2017gc,Banerjee:2017dk}.

(b) Structure of the ideal $\alpha$-RuCl$_{3}$ lattice, with Cl atoms octahedrally coordinated around each Ru. The hopping pathways are indicated by black dashed lines, which for a perfect $J_{eff}=1/2$ state will lead to a Kitaev interaction.}

\end{figure}

Despite its importance to the formation of an ordered state, the structure of $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ remains controversial. In particular, the exact structure appears to be sensitive to atomic disorder and stacking faults, which are not uncommon in van der Waals crystals such as $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$~\cite{Cao:2016ep,Majumder:2015ck,Maksov:2016gr,Glamazda:2017gc}. Surprisingly, the addition of stacking faults leads to an enhanced onset of antiferromagnetic order (higher T$_N$)~\cite{Cao:2016ep}. This rather counterintuitive observation may result from additional tunneling pathways opened by the stacking disorder that boost the Heisenberg terms. If correct, this suggests that exfoliating $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ down to single layers could suppress the long range order and perhaps stabilize the quantum spin liquid.

Through the use of applied magnetic fields, a number of probes now suggest that once the long range magnetic order is suppressed, a spin liquid state emerges~\cite{Leahy:2017cv,2017arXiv170607240P,2017arXiv170606157W}. If a similar suppression is achieved through exfoliation, the resulting state could be closer to the original Kitaev proposal. In addition, exfoliated $\alpha$-RuCl$_{3}$ would allow one to bring many well-developed techniques for exploring 2D atomic crystals to bear, for instance by utilizing van der Waals heterostructures to control the local environment and perhaps even exploit proximity effects~\cite{Geim:2013hf,Jariwala:2016el}. Crucial to this approach will be the evolution of the lattice and electronic structure that ultimately control the balance between the various exchange terms. Inelastic light scattering provides an excellent means to explore these issues. Raman has already demonstrated its utility in determining the lattice structure, symmetry, magnetic order, two-magnon excitations, magneto-elastic coupling, and disorder in various 2D materials~\cite{Tian:2016ki,Wang:2016rs,Sandilands:2010je,Lee:2016ga,Ferrari:2013jx}. In $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$, bulk measurements have revealed the spin-orbit exciton, and how magnetic fluctuations interact with the lattice via the asymmetric phonon broadening (i.e. Fano lineshapes)~\cite{Sandilands:2015hn,Glamazda:2017gc}. The Raman response also showed the hysteresis in the structural transition via the appearance/disappearance of modes as well as the mode frequency and strength~\cite{Glamazda:2017gc}. As with efforts to determine the structure via diffraction techniques, the polarization dependence of the modes has been interpreted in terms of both the single layer (undistorted honeycomb) and monoclinic (distorted) structures. As shown in Table~\ref{Tab:Select}, these two can be separated by the response of phonons to different polarization configurations of the incident and Raman scattered light.

    \caption{\label{Tab:Select} Structures for $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$, along with the possible modes Raman allowed by symmetry. In addition we show the modes that would arise in back scattering for co-linear ($c(XX)\bar{c}$) and crossed ($c(XY)\bar{c}$) configurations. We note that only the Trigonal and Rhombohedral structures, with undistorted honeycombs, allow a mode to appear in the colinear---but not the crossed---polarization configurations.}
\end{table}

To directly address the possibility of tuning the behavior of $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ via exfoliation, we performed a Raman study of several exfoliated crystals with thickness ranging from 43 nm down to single layers. We have measured the polarization and temperature dependence from room temperature to 10 K. While the thicker pieces produce spectra similar to those seen in bulk, in thin layers we observe an anomalous  broadening of the phonons with temperature. Particular attention is paid to a mode already shown to exhibit strong coupling to the magnetic excitations, suggesting an enhanced broadening from additional magnetic fluctuations in thin layers. Intriguingly, we also find an A$_{1g}$ phonon mode---forbidden by symmetry to appear in crossed polarization---is nonetheless observed in the thinnest samples at all temperatures. This is suggestive of a structural transition driven by the decreasing thickness or by strain incurred in the process of exfoliation.

\section{Exfoliation}
Single crystals of $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ were grown using a vapor transport technique from phase pure commercial RuCl$_3$ powder~\cite{Banerjee:2017dk}. Exfoliated crystals with typical sizes $10{-}30~\mu$m were mechanically exfoliated onto Si/SiO$_2$ substrates from bulk crystals using scotch tape following the methods used for graphene and other van der Waals materials~\cite{Novoselov:2005wx}. Exfoliation yielded monolayer, bilayer and multilayer flakes, which were first identified by optical color contrast (Figure~\ref{Exfoliation}a), and the thicknesses were then checked by atomic force microscopy (Figure~\ref{Exfoliation}b). Typical single layer thicknesses were 0.8 nm, compared to $\approx6$ \AA~found in xray diffraction~\cite{Cao:2016ep}. Fortuitously, unlike other recently explored vdW materials such as black phosphorous and MoS$_2$, $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ appears to be stable in air: we find the Raman spectra of all thicknesses even down to monolayers to be reproducible after months of exposure to air, even when measured in separate Raman systems with different excitation lasers (see  Figure~\ref{Exfoliation}c).

\section{Raman}
Raman spectroscopy was performed on monolayer, bilayer and multilayer $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ on Si/SiO2 at both room and low temperature. Room temperature spectra were measured in air in a Raman spectrometer with a 514 nm excitation laser and low energy cut-off of 100 cm$^{-1}$. The laser spot size was  $\approx2~\mu$m with a resolution of 1.8 cm$^{-1}$. Low temperature measurements were performed separately under vacuum in a cryostat down to 10 K. These measurements were made in the quasi-backscattering geometry in crossed (XY) polarization, with light polarized in the basal (cleavage) plane. Light from a 532 nm laser was focused down to a $2\ \mu$m spot with an estimated power of 160 ${\mu}$W. The resolution of the low temperature Raman system was 2 cm$^{-1}$. To confirm heating was not a contributing factor to the additional broadening, additional experiments were performed in a custom-built low temperature Raman setup where the anti-Stokes spectra could be collected~\cite{Tian:2016ja}. The ratio of the Stokes to anti-Stokes intensity confirmed the excitation power used did not lead to significant heating ($\Delta T\leq 10~K$).

In measurements of multilayer stacks of thin-films, Fabry-Perot interference can result in strong deviations of the Raman intensity~\cite{1980PhRvL..44..273N,1989ApOpt..28.4017R,Blake:2007hb,Zhang:2015hv,Sandilands:2010je,Zhao:2011bs}, though we note these are unlikely to be strongly temperature dependent. Multiple reflections of both the incident excitation laser and of the Raman scattered light can occur due to the multiple interfaces present. If the optical constants of the constituent materials are known it is possible to compute the net effect this has on the spectra and then normalize it out. This computation consists of two main parts. First, the enhancements of the incident and scattered light at a given depth of the material are calculated. Then, these two enhancements are multiplied and integrated over the thickness of the sample to obtain the total enhancement factor. Each Raman spectrum is divided by the final enhancement factor, after a detector-dependent dark count was subtracted~\cite{Zhao:2011bs,Yoon:2009ke}.

Key to understanding the Raman results are their implications for the symmetry of the lattice structure. We use the standard Porto notation for back-scattering geometry $A(IS)\bar{A}$, where $A$ refers to the propagation axis of the light, $I$ is the axis along which the incident light is polarized, and $S$ is the polarization axis of the scattered light. From the different lattice structures we have calculated the possible symmetries of Raman active modes, and in which geometries they should be observed. These are shown in Table~\ref{Tab:Select}, but can be easily summarized by noting that the lattice structures fall into two categories: those without a distortion of the honeycomb lattice (Trigonal and Rhombohedral), versus those with an in plane distortion (Triclinic and Monoclinic). The undistorted lattices produce modes of A and E symmetry, with A modes only observed in collinear polarization (i.e. $c(XX)\bar{c}$), whereas the E modes are seen in both scattering geometries. For the distorted lattice structures, all observed modes should appear in both scattering configurations. Thus the original bulk data, and those reported here for thick exfoliated crystals wherein a mode is observed being suppressed in $c(XY)\bar{c}$, would be consistent with the undistorted in-plane lattice structures.

\section{Thickness and Temperature Dependence}
We begin with the thickness dependence of Raman spectroscopy of $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ at high and low temperatures. In Figure~\ref{Thickness}a we show the thickness dependence of the unpolarized Raman spectra at room temperature, revealing both a nearly three order-of-magnitude decrease in the Raman response with reduced thickness, along with a notable increase in the broadening of all phonon modes for flakes thinner than $\approx6$ nm. As the broadening increases the three individual phonon peaks in the group between 270 and 315 cm$^{-1}$ merge. Fits to this data give the best results when three Lorentzians are used for all thicknesses, suggesting the individual modes still exist at room temperature. The source of this broadening is not immediately clear, but its occurrence in only the thinnest flakes suggests it may be related to the exfoliation process. For instance, prior work in graphene has demonstrated that exfoliated flakes show a range of residual strain~\cite{Bunch:2007ux} that may, in the present system, distort the lattice sufficiently to broaden the modes. In lieu of such global strain, the $\sim$nm-scale roughness of the supporting SiO$_2$ may induce a locally varying strain potential impacting thinner flakes more due to their reduced stiffness. Finally, the three weakest modes at 106 cm$^{-1}$, 205 cm$^{-1}$, and 315 cm$^{-1}$, appear to vanish in the thinnest flakes but may simply have become too broad to be distinguished from the noise. In short, beyond the loss of intensity and increased broadening, there is little change from the known spectra of bulk $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$~\cite{Sandilands:2015hn,Glamazda:2017gc}.

\begin{figure*}[t]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{Figure_thickness.pdf}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{Thickness}Thickness dependence of Raman measurements: (a) unpolarized spectra at room temperature, and (b) in XY polarization at low temperature. Plots are shown as log intensity due to the large signal decrease with thickness. Traces in (b) are offset for clarity; no offsets are applied in (a).}
\end{figure*}

In contrast, the thickness dependence at low temperature shows an interesting anomaly (see Figure~\ref{Thickness}b). In XY polarization thicker flakes reveal only two peaks between 270 and 300 cm$^{-1}$ (marked by downward arrows), in agreement with results in bulk material~\cite{Sandilands:2015hn}. However, in the thinnest samples a third peak at 315 cm$^{-1}$ has appeared, in the same position as the third peak in the unpolarized and $c(XX)\bar{c}$ measurements of bulk samples.

To separate out static disorder from thermally induced dynamic fluctuations, we measured the temperature dependence of the Raman spectra in three samples: a `bulk' flake 23.8 nm thick, along with bilayer and monolayer flakes. These data, acquired in XY configuration, are shown in Figure~\ref{Temperature}, where we immediately observe a strong difference in the response of the bilayer and single layer from the thicker flake. Similar to previous bulk measurements performed in XY geometry, the 23.8 nm sample primarily reveals modes of E$_{g}$ symmetry  at all temperatures. The most pronounced effect seen occurs in the mode at 164 cm$^{-1}$, which acquires a significant Fano lineshape at low temperatures but does not reveal strong broadening with increased temperature. In contrast, in the thinnest layers (Figure~\ref{Temperature}b,c), a symmetry-forbidden mode (315 cm$^{-1}$) is clearly observed at low temperatures. This mode exhibits a curiously strong temperature dependence: while all phonons peaks are observed to sharpen with decreasing temperature, this 315 cm$^{-1}$ phonon is barely visible at all at room temperature, but rapidly grows in intensity as the temperature is lowered. The similar behavior of the mono- and bilayer flakes confirms this behavior is not an isolated event. Moreover, the mode at 164 cm$^{-1}$ in the thin samples undergoes a strong increase in width with temperature.

\begin{figure}[t]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{Figure_temperature_v2.pdf}
    \caption{\label{Temperature}Temperature dependence of Raman spectra for various thickness flakes, measured in XY polarization: (a) bulk exfoliated crystal, 23.8 nm thick; (b) bilayer; and (c) monolayer.}
\end{figure}

\section{Discussion}
The appearance of the 315 cm$^{-1}$ mode in XY scattering is quite surprising. Only undistorted layers should contain both the E$_g$ and A$_{1g}$ modes, with the A$_{1g}$ mode disappearing in the XY configuration. Indeed, this was seen in Ref.~\cite{Sandilands:2015hn}, where a D3d symmetry of a single layer was assumed (which was also found to be consistent with the behavior observed for the magnetic continuum). In agreement with that prior work, in the thicker flake the two modes at 270 and 300 cm$^{-1}$ dominate in XY scattering. Interestingly, for distortions of a single layer consistent with the monoclinic structure, the high temperature bulk phase would produce Raman modes only of A$_{g}$ and B$_{g}$ symmetry; and in our geometry the A$_{g}$ modes should be visible in both polarization configurations. Noting that the thicker flake does show this nominally forbidden mode---albeit with a very low intensity---the observation of this mode may indicate the onset of a small distortion of the lattice at low temperatures, that is strongest in the thinnest flakes. In principle, this mode could also appear due to polarizer mis-alignment. However, in that case i) the observed strong temperature dependence would not be expected, and ii) the mode should appear in the thicker flake with more or less the same relative intensity as in the thinner flakes.

As noted, fits to these data strongly suggest the higher energy peak is present even at room temperature, although due to broadening it has merged with its neighbors. However the lower signal-to-noise in the thinner samples leads to large error bars in quantifying the intensity and width of the modes between 270 and 315 cm$^{-1}$. Therefore we turn our attention to the phonon mode at 164 cm$^{-1}$ visible in all samples, and which is established to strongly couple to the magnetic fluctuations~\cite{Sandilands:2015hn}.  In measurements of bulk $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ crystals, this mode acquires a Fano lineshape ascribed to interactions with a continuum of magnetic excitations, and indeed a Fano lineshape is clearly visible in our data (see Figure~\ref{Temperature}). To quantify the change in the broadening of the mode with thickness, we performed fits to the data in a limited range around this peak. The results for the frequency and linewidth for five different thicknesses are shown in Figure~\ref{Fano}. For samples thicker than two layers we find behavior consistent with the bulk results, namely a small softening resulting from anharmonicity~\cite{1972PhRvB...6.1490L}, and a broadening above 100 K attributed to standard phonon decay into two acoustic modes~\cite{1966PhRv..148..845K}. The divergence of the mono- and bilayer samples' behavior from that of the thicker material is rather striking: both the central energies and widths are closely matched across all samples at low temperature. However, as the temperature increases the mono- and bilayer samples reveal a much stronger mode softening accompanied by a sharp increase of the width, which at room temperature is $2{-}3$ times broader than the same mode in thicker samples.

\begin{figure}[t]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{Figure_Fano.pdf}
    \caption{\label{Fano}Temperature dependence of the (a) energy and (b) width of the 164 cm$^{-1}$ phonon (labeled by its energy at low temperature), for five different flake thicknesses.}
\end{figure}

Thus overall we find the two thinnest samples stand out by the appearance of a symmetry-forbidden mode and an unusual behavior of the lower energy, Fano-shaped mode. Is a common cause behind these observations? Structural disorder is an obvious culprit: as mentioned, thin flakes exfoliated on Si/SiO$_2$ can have a range of built-in tension~\cite{Bunch:2007ux}, which here may introduce distortions of the Cl octahedra and enable otherwise forbidden phonons to appear. Indeed a monoclinic to rhombohedral structural transition has been observed in some bulk crystals below 150 K. These two structures lie close in energy and it is conceivable that the strain of exfoliation could re-introduce distortions tending toward the monoclinic structure~\cite{Cao:2016ep}. Interestingly, even at high temperatures, bulk-like samples provide little evidence for the mode in XY. Combined with our observation that at low temperatures the energies and linewidths of all modes are very close to that of the bulk, we rule out any major structural reorganization. Instead our results suggest  a stronger distortion appears only in thin layers. This agrees with prior x-ray and neutron scattering studies which find that even aggressive bending of bulk $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ crystals results in only small structural changes~\cite{Cao:2016ep}.

On the other hand, the 164 cm$^{-1}$ phonon width may be broadened by a variety of physical mechanisms: disorder, an increase in anharmonic phonon scattering, and especially magnetic fluctuations which are already known to drive the Fano lineshape. Examining Figure~\ref{Fano}, we see at the lowest temperatures both the central energy and the linewidth values closely agree across all samples at the lowest temperatures. Since disorder will dominate as T$\to0$, it would appear that the disorder potential in the thinnest flakes is not particularly stronger than that affecting the thicker ones. Thus we may contemplate more exotic origins of the distortion, for instance, the possibility of a strong magneto-elastic coupling generating a distortion in order to stabilize magnetic order, driven by the large entropy of the proximate quantum spin liquid. Nonetheless, the strong temperature dependence of the linewidth with similar low temperature energy, suggests enhanced magnetic fluctuations cause strong additional broadening in thin layers.

\section{Conclusion}
In this paper we explored the possibility of destroying the long range order in $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ by exfoliating down to a single monolayer. The Raman spectra are consistent with the overall structure remaining intact, however the appearance of a mode in both XX and XY configurations suggest the development of significant in-plane distortions away from the perfect honeycomb lattice. If correct this suggests enhancement of non-Kitaev terms in the exchange that could further stabilize the ordered state. At the moment the origin of this distortion is unclear. The exfolation process, or the use of non-flat substrates, may contribute significant strain leading to the distorted structure, but further Raman and x-ray studies on various substrates~\cite{Lupascu:2012gm} will be required to clarify both the structure, and the role played by the substrate. We also note that the phonons in mono- and bilayer samples reveal significant additional temperature dependence. This could result from the additional distortion leading to enhanced anharmonicity. However a much more intriguing possibility is that enhanced magnetic fluctuations in thin layers strongly reduces the lifetime of the phonons. Studies on substrates with reduced background contributions and further enhancements of the Raman via interference would enable closer examination of the magnetic fluctuations. Nonetheless our results clearly demonstrate the possibility of tuning the Kitaev paramagnetic state in $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ via exfoliation.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - The starting job at running back isnt the only thing Montee Ball lost during his month on the sideline recovering from a torn right groin.The Denver Broncos second-year pro said he eliminated sweets and cut down on carbs and fried foods during his rehab because at 224 pounds, he wasnt hitting the holes fast enough.So, he dropped a dozen pounds and now tips the scales at right around the weight he was at Wisconsin and two pounds lighter than he was at the NFL combine in 2013.Today I felt great out there, Ball said Wednesday following his first practice since he was hurt Oct. 5. I felt a lot more elusive. I felt a lot more agile. And this is where I should have been at the beginning of the year.Ball said he realizes Ronnie Hillman deserves to remain the starter — for now — after leapfrogging him during his absence because the running game has been a lot better since hes been in there.He did a great job of taking that job from me, Ball said. He should start now because he did a great job. But Im going to most definitely be working for that spot again.Hillman, whos quicker and more decisive at the line of scrimmage, has rushed 363 yards and three TDs while averaging 4.3 yards a carry also catching 17 passes for 121 yards and a score in Balls absence, giving Denver a legitimate ground game to go with Peyton Mannings passing prowess.When he got hurt, Ball was averaging 3.1 yards a carry, a significant drop-off from the 4.7 he averaged as a rookie.During his time off — which followed several missed practices in August after undergoing an emergency appendectomy, Ball said he watched film and realized he was pitter-pattering too much at the line of scrimmage.It wasnt entirely his fault: Behind a reconfigured offensive line thats had its share of troubles, Broncos backs have seen at least three carries go for no gain or negative yardage in seven of their eight games so far.Defenders have consistently found the gaps between centre Manny Ramirez and guards Orlando Franklin, whos still adjusting to his switch from tackle, and Louis Vasquez, who isnt playing at his Pro Bowl level of a year ago because of nagging back and ribs injuries.Ball took it on himself, however, to do what he could during his time off to get better prepared for a stretch run like he had last year.It was kind of my plan, so I could move better, hit the holes faster, he said. I was 224 when the injury happened. Im 212 now and I most definitely love it. This is where I was at in college, and I feel a lot more comfortable at this weight.Ball played at 220 pounds last year.So, this is the lightest Ive ever been in the NFL and Im loving it, Ball said. I havent been hitting the holes fast. Ive been doing too much second-guessing.Ball said he felt fine after Wednesdays workout and ice tub soak. He said he no longer is in any pain and hopes to return Sunday when the Broncos (6-2) visit the Oakland Raiders (0-8).Ball got hurt when he accidentally did the splits while chipping a defender before going out on his route in a game against Arizona. But he said his right groin was actually sore since the start of the season.I wasnt telling anybody about it. I was just trying to work through it on my own, Ball said.Tearing the groin, Ball said, was a blessing in disguise because Im learning how to be a pro and learning better ways to take care of my body.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Cheap Nike Shoes Online .

Rajon Rondo had 18 of Bostons season-high 38 assists and the Celtics committed just seven turnovers in a 118-111 win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night.SEATTLE -- Working both sides of the plate and mixing in his changeup, Indians starter Josh Tomlin had little trouble keeping the Seattle Mariners at bay Saturday night. Tomlin threw the second complete game of his career, throwing a one-hitter with a career-high 11 strikeouts in Clevelands 5-0 victory over Seattle . Tomlin (5-5) didnt walk a batter and a leadoff single by Kyle Seager in the fifth inning was the only blemish on his evening. It was the second complete game of Tomlins career and the first one-hitter by a Cleveland pitcher since Billy Traber did it against the Yankees on July 8, 2003. "He commanded so well," manager Terry Francona said. He was expanding (the strike zone). He showed in to keep them honest and then hed go away. A little farther. A little farther, just leading guys to pitches. "That was just a tremendous outing." Its only the third time since 2002 that a pitcher has recorded a one-hit shutout with at least 11 strikeouts and no walks. St. Louis Shelby Miller struck out 13 in a 3-0 victory over Colorado on May 10, 2013. San Franciscos Matt Cain equaled Tomlin with 11 strikeouts in a 5-0 win over Pittsburgh on April 13, 2012. "I felt good and I knew I was commanding the ball well to both sides of the plate," Tomlin said. "I had to have a good changeup today to get them off everything else." The Indians jumped on Mariners starter Roenis Elias (7-6) for a pair of runs in the first inning. Asdrubal Cabrera doubled and scored on a single from Michael Brantley. Brantley advanced to second on the throw home and scored on a double by Carlos Santana to give the Indians a 2-0 lead. Mike Aviles singled with one out in the fifth and came around to score on Michael Bourns double. A balk by Elias moved Bourn to third and Cabreras sacrifice fly scored Bourn to givee the Indians a 4-0 lead.dddddddddddd Meanwhile, the Mariners couldnt solve Tomlin. He retired the first 12 batters he faced with some help from right fielder Ryan Raburn. He tracked down a deep line drive from Seager with a diving grab on the warning track in the second inning. "Great catch," Francona said. "Im glad it doesnt get lost two hours later because that was a really nice play." Seager singled to lead off the fifth and took second on a wild pitch and advanced to third when the throw from catcher Yan Gomes sailed into centre field. He was stranded when Tomlin struck out Michael Saunders to end the inning. "Our at-bats were not at-bats we want to talk about," Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said. "We want to forget about them. It was one of those nights." Gomes homered off Elias in the sixth inning to extend Clevelands lead to 5-0. NOTES: Tomlin is 4-1 with a 3.41 ERA in five career starts against Seattle and 3-0 with a 2.12 ERA at Safeco Field. ...

Relaxing, fun and enjoyable gay sailing cruise from Trogir (Split) to the Kornati islands. On the way we will sail up the Skradin river to visit the stunning Krka waterfalls National Park. A combination of charming typical Croatian picturesque villages such as Primosten, Trogir and Drvenik and of course the famous rugged moon landscape from the Kornati islands.


SAN FRANCICSCO (Hypebot) – Thanks to two important new partnerships, BandPage is taking the content posted to its app by 500,000 musicians and spreading it to millions of potential fans on Microsoft's XBox Music and VEVO. These partnerships, and those that are likely to follow, are a boost to artists who previously had no way to control their image or content on these highly trafficked sites.
At launch XBox Music will just import artist photos and profiles from BandPage. VEVO will also add tour dates. But expect both the range of content and the services linked to to expand. BandPage has also integrated with Pandora, WordPress, Twitter and Facebook.
"This is the vision that I've had since we started BandPage," founder and CEO J. Sider told Hypebot just before the launch. "It began with us helping artists reach the large pool of fans on Facebook; and then we added widgets to take content to web sites and blogs, Now, we're extending that content to tens of millions of music fans on XBox Music and VEVO."
For the many companies creating direct to fan and other artist services, partnerships with sites popular with fans are increasingly the best way to increase their reach. Last year, Topspin and Viacom launched a similar service, GoDirect, which allows artists to take more control of the image on MTV.com, VH1.com, CMT.com and related sites. Thus far, the Topspin created service has not spread beyond Viacom sites.
"Over the last couple of years these music and entertainment platforms have grown to hundreds of millions of fans and will create a new era of targeted marketing and engagement for the music industry," says Sider.

Ficus pumila, commonly known as the creeping fig or climbing fig, is a species of flowering plant in the  mulberry family, native to East Asia (China, Japan, Vietnam) and naturalized in parts of the southeastern and south-central United States. It is also found in cultivation as a houseplant. The Latin specific epithet pumila means "dwarf", and refers to the very small leaves of the plant.

Description
Ficus pumila is a woody evergreen liana, growing to . It can grow up to  tall if it isn't regularly pruned. The juvenile foliage is much smaller and thinner than mature leaves produced as the plant ages. The leaves are oval, cordate, asymmetrical, with opposite veins. It is creeping or can behave like a liana and also climb trees, rocks, etc. up to 4 m in height or more. The aerial roots secrete a translucent latex that hardens on drying, allowing the sticks to adhere to their support.

Cultivation
As the common name, "creeping fig" indicates, the plant has a creeping/vining habit and is often used in gardens and landscapes where it covers the ground and climbs up trees and walls. It is hardy down to  and does not tolerate frost. Therefore in temperate regions it is often seen as a houseplant. It is fast-growing and requires little in the way of care. It can be invasive when environmental conditions are favorable. Its secondary roots or tendrils can cause structural damage to certain buildings with fragile mortar or structures made of fragile materials.

It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

The plant requires the fig wasp Blastophaga pumilae for pollination, and is fed upon by larvae of the butterfly Marpesia petreus.

Varieties and cultivars
Ficus pumila var. awkeotsang —  awkeotsang creeping fig
Ficus pumila var. quercifolia —  oak leaf creeping fig

Cuisine
The fruit of Ficus pumila var. awkeotsang is used in cuisine. In Taiwan, its fruit is turned inside out and dried. The seeds are scraped off and a gel is extracted from their surface with water and allowed to set and form a jelly known in Taiwan as aiyu jelly (or aiyuzi 愛玉子) and in Singapore as ice jelly (文頭雪).

Toxicity
Like other plant species in the family Moraceae, contact with the milky sap of Ficus pumila can cause phytophotodermatitis, a potentially serious skin inflammation. Although the plant is not poisonous per se, F. pumila is listed in the FDA Database of Poisonous Plants.

*If the surface is porous – natural, unsealed stone for example – the oil may absorb and discolor the surface. Make sure to check in an inconspicuous area before applying.
All you need is coconut oil, baking soda and a bit of essential oil if you have it on hand. Oh, and if you're looking for simple solutions like this one, you can find 22 more uses for baking soda here.
Blend all ingredients together and store in an airtight jar.
If you are removing a label, try to peel off the outer layer of paper before applying the goo and gunk remover. This will allow the mixture to penetrate more quickly. Spread paste onto sticky surface and let sit for 10-60 minutes – the longer it is left on the easier the removal process. Rub with a washcloth and rinse clean. Repeat if needed.
Important note: The baking soda in this formula is abrasive and may leave small scratches on certain surfaces, particularly plastic. Test a small area before applying it to the entire surface. I've used it very successfully with a variety of glass surfaces.
I made this using left over grease from cooking and just adding baking soda. It works like a charm.
Very smart. Why spend $$ on coconut oil when bacon grease serves the same purpose! My mother was famous for recycling common grease for various jobs, even as hand "cream!" She was frugal and smart.
What a great idea! You just saved me a trip to get coconut oil. I always have bacon grease!
Any thoughts on removing carpet glue off wood floors? Your goop remover? Want to keep the finish on the floors. Used mineral spirits, but very slow process.
