Das Majorisierungskriterium ist in der Quantenmechanik ein Merkmal, das der Unterscheidung verschränkter von separablen Zuständen anhand ihrer Dichtematrix dient.  Es ist für separable Zustände erfüllt, aus seiner Erfüllung folgt aber nicht die Separabilität. Es ist somit das schwächste der drei Operatoren-Separationskriterien in der Quantenmechanik, zu denen auch das Reduzierungskriterium und das Peres-Horodecki-Kriterium zählen.

Das Kriterium wurde im Jahr 1999 von Michael Nielsen und 2001 zusammen mit Julia Kempe veröffentlicht, und wird daher auch  oder  genannt. Anschaulich gesprochen besagt das Majorisierungskriterium, dass separable Zustände global eine größere Unordnung zeigen als lokal.

Definition
Das Majorisierungskriterium ist erfüllt, wenn die Eigenwerte  der Dichtematrix  eines quantenmechanischen Zustands durch die Eigenwerte ihrer partiellen Spuren  und  bezüglich der Hilberträume  und  majorisiert sind:

Hierin steht:
  für den Eigenwertvektor der Dichtematrix  des Gesamtsystems bestehend aus Alice und Bob,
  für den Eigenwertvektor der Dichtematrix  von Alice,
  für den Eigenwertvektor der Dichtematrix  von Bob.

Der Operator  wird als "… wird majorisiert durch …" (siehe Majorisierung) gesprochen und  bedeutet für zwei Eigenwertvektoren  und  der Dimension :

Die Markierung  deutet dabei an, dass die Eigenwerte im jeweiligen Eigenwertvektor  absteigend nach ihrer Größe sortiert sind. Wenn die Dimension eines Eigenwertvektors kleiner als der andere ist, so wird sie durch Anfügen von Nullen an den Größeren angeglichen.

Verwendung
Für separable Dichtematrizen ist das Kriterium erfüllt.
Wenn das Kriterium nicht erfüllt ist, ist die Dichtematrix nicht separabel.
Der Umkehrschluss, dass aus der Erfüllung des Majorisierungskriteriums die Separabilität der Dichtematrix folgt, bzw. dass für eine nicht-separable Dichtematrix das Majorisierungskriterium nicht erfüllt ist, gilt nicht.

Es gibt beispielsweise isospektrale Zustände, die zwar das Majorisierungskriterium erfüllen, aber nicht separabel sind (siehe unten).

Das Majorisierungskriterium ist schwächer als das Reduzierungskriterium oder das Peres-Horodecki-Kriterium, weil aus einem erfüllten Peres-Horodecki-Kriterium in 2x2 bzw. 2x3 Dimensionen (d. h. einem Zustand, der aus zwei Qubits oder einem Qubit und einem Qutrit, also einem Teilchen mit drei möglichen Zuständen, zusammengesetzt ist) die Separabilität von  folgt, während die Rückrichtung beim Majorisierungskriterium im Allgemeinen nicht erfüllt ist.

Beweis
Inhaltlich orientiert sich der Beweis an einschlägiger Literatur. Um das Kriterium zu beweisen, ist es notwendig, eine bistochastische Matrix  zu finden, sodass die Eigenwerte der Dichtematrix (in beliebiger Reihenfolge) aus den Eigenwerten der reduzierten Dichtematrix folgen: . Mithilfe dieser Gleichung lässt sich zeigen, dass alle Schur-konvexen Funktionen oben gezeigte Ungleichung

erfüllen, für Schur-konkave Funktion folgt dieselbe Ungleichung, in der sich die Richtung des Ungleichheitszeichens ändert. Damit lässt sich das Majorisierungskriterium auf das Entropie-Kriterium zurückführen, bei dem aus der Von-Neumann-Entropie Rückschlüsse auf die Separabilität gezogen werden können: Bei einem reinem Zustand verschwindet die Von-Neumann-Entropie, wenn sie aber für ihre partiellen Spuren nicht verschwindet, ist der Zustand verschränkt.

Beispiele

Isospektrale Zustände
Sei

mit den Eigenwerten der Dichtematrix  ein (nach PPT-Kriterium) verschränkter Zustand, dann sind dessen partielle Spuren gegeben als

mit den Eigenwerten . Hier ist das Majorisierungskriterium also offensichtlich erfüllt, da die Summen über die Eigenwerte identisch sind. Wäre die Rückrichtung des Majorisierungskriteriums erfüllt, unterläge man hier dem Trugschluss, dass  separabel wäre, obwohl es ein verschränkter Zustand ist.

Werner-Zustände
Betrachte die Zustände der Qubit-Familie der Werner-Zustände,
 mit der Einheitsmatrix .

Die Dichtematrix lautet

.

Die Eigenwerte dieser Dichtematrix sind gegeben als

.

Die partielle Spur über  und  ist gegeben als , also sind die Eigenwerte gegeben als . Fülle diese jetzt mit Nullen auf, bis dieselbe Dimension wie für  erreicht ist und erhalte

.

Rechne nun das Majorisierungskriterium nach:

Daraus folgt also, dass der Werner-Zustand für  verschränkt ist, was das gleiche Ergebnis ist, was auch aus dem Peres-Horodecki-Kriterium hervorgeht.

Romare Bearden (American, 1913-1988)
Firebirds, 1979
Image height: 55 cm Image Width: 38 cm
What story do you think this work might tell?
The artist, Romare Bearden, said that music, particularly improvisational jazz, influenced his work. How does this work show those influences?
How do the bold colors in this lithograph affect your reaction to the work?
This is a color lithograph by Romare Bearden called Firebirds. The work is a good example of Bearden's style of using bold, flat areas of color to create a collage effect that recalls African cloth. Firebirds may be associated with the phoenix, the bird of Egypt thought to be tied to the sun-god. According to legend, the phoenix lived for 500 years. It laid an egg in its nest, set it on fire, and out of the ashes, a new phoenix was born. This relates to ideas about rebirth and resurrection of the dead, and to both pagan and Christian beliefs.
Lithography is a kind of print in which the artist etches, or carves, their artwork onto a plate, usually made of metal. The plate is then coated with ink, which sticks to different parts of the plate depending on how the artist carved it. The plate is placed in a printing press with a piece of paper, which is then printed with the artwork. The plate can be re-inked so many copies of a single work of art can be made.
Romare Bearden grew up in New York City's Harlem, where he met many of the cultural leaders of the Harlem Renaissance as a child. In the 1930s he studied art at New York University and the Art Students League. Bearden also spent time in Paris where he was influenced by European modernism and abstraction. In the 1960s Bearden became interested in representing African American themes in his art. He became famous for his painted collages made of photostats and cut paper, which represent black people in uncertain times and spaces.
The art of African American artist Romare Bearden is inspired by European modernism, African tribal forms, Byzantine mosaics and Chinese calligraphy. In the 1960s he achieved acclaim with the development of his photomontages which addressed African American political and social themes, street scenes, and jazz musicians. Bearden's art cuts across color boundaries, yet testifies to its cultural heritage. He translated well-known collages into monoprints and graphic works seeking to make his imagery more available to a wide audience.
Compare and contrast with Thomas Hart Benton's Portrait of a Musician. How do you see the influence of jazz in both of these artworks? How are they different?
Bearden was inspired by traditional African art. What similarities can you find with the Bamana Antelope headcrest?
The website of the Romare Bearden Foundation has extensive information about the artist's life and work, as well as educational resources for use in the classroom: http://www.beardenfoundation.org/
Washington's National Gallery of Art provides a children's guide to the art of Romare Bearden with a biography, several examples of his work and related activities: http://www.nga.gov/kids/zone/beardencg.pdf

Q: Confirm that two filesystems are identical, ignoring special files /media/A and /media/B should be identical, but I want to confirm before deleting one.
Duplicate file finders don't work, because they'll find two copies of the same file within B, for instance.  I only want to confirm that every file in one is identical to the other.
diff -qr /media/A/ /media/B/ seems to work, but the output is cluttered with garbage like

diff: /media/A//etc/alternatives/ControlPanel: No such file or directory

and

File /media/A//dev/tty8 is a character special file while file /media/B//dev/tty8 is a character special file

I can suppress the former with 2> /dev/null, but I don't know about the latter.
rsync -avn /media/A/ /media/B/ also produces a bunch of clutter, like "skipping non-regular file".
How can I compare the two trees and just make sure that all the real files exist in both and are identical?

A: Using this following command should check to see if they are identical.
diff imageA imageB -r 2> /dev/null | grep -v "is a character special file" | grep -v "is a block special file" && echo "viola"

A: Take a look at Guiffy.  It's not free, but has a 21 day free trial, which doesn't limit functionality :
Guiffy home page
Full (massive) list of features
It claims to do the following, and seems to be very close to what you are looking for, or may get close enough that you can take it from there:

*

*Folder Compare works with Unicode file/folder names

*Folder Compare works with archive files (.zip, .tar, .jar, and others).

*Save compare reports - the Guiffy folder compare tool generates reports as HTML

*Quickly launches a file compare from the folder compare.

*User friendly folder compare view with Explorer-like interface and expandable sub-folders.

*Folder Compare interface includes popup menus for file synchronization operations.

*Recursive compare option - folder compare can do a file tree compare.

A: Use rsync in write mode (with -v/--verbose and without -n/--dry-run), and run it a few times until the output stabilises. Run it as root so that recreating non-regular files (implied by -D and -a) works, which should get rid of the clutter.

In the last year, Val has undergone some important changes that have made our food options both more delicious and nutritious. Yet every day, students can be overheard complaining about Val to their friends. Of course not every student is going to be thrilled with Val's food options every day, but there are some considerations we all should make before publicly complaining about a service that ultimately provides us with everything we need and more.
Despite all the recent buzz over Twitter's IPO, the College's own quiet technological revolution has gone largely unnoticed. After years of pink slips and green sheets, it seems that the College has finally begun to embrace the 21st century.
Statistically speaking, last year was not a stellar year for the College's admissions. Total applications dropped from 8,555 for the Class of 2016 to 7,927 for the class of 2017, representing a decline of 8.2 percent. The overall admit rate increased from 13.3 percent to 13.7 percent.
1. Learn how to study effectively. Find your a nook inside the library or around campus (we won't share ours because that would defeat the point). Take study breaks often. Go for a walk around the trails or simply call a friend or family member.
2. Stay healthy. Don't fall into the routine of ordering calzones at 2 a.m. every day. Invest in healthy midnight snacks. Try to eat as healthy as the options at Val allow you. And we cannot stress this enough: get enough sleep every night.
A school year has almost passed us. Ask anyone to summarize the collective experience of students this year and they will place the unfolding of much public drama at the center of it. Pleasant memories dot our individual recollections, but painful ones sit squarely within those memories shared by most all of us.
This exam period, for the first time in our collective student memory, students have as much to look forward to going into finals as they already have to not look forward to: first, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis promises to keep spirits up as students get excited about not having any use for their glass coasters and Spring Formal; second, students should also appreciate the generous end-of-year break we received — an extended "reading period."

Home News and Analysis PE Deals PE firms get ready to host summer internships remotely
PE firms get ready to host summer internships remotely
Most programs have adopted a virtual format and intend to host their incoming summer hires remotely over Zoom meetings and calls.
Milana Vinn
Vista Equity, Carlyle Group and General Atlantic are among PE firms preparing to host their summer internships remotely amidst the global pandemic, sources familiar with the arrangements told PE Hub.
MBA students with accepted offers will still get their summer program experience; however, due to social distancing guidelines, they won't be required to relocate or meet their mentors in person, multiple sources familiar with the firms' plans said.
Most programs have adopted a virtual format and intend to host their incoming summer hires remotely over Zoom meetings and calls. Others are still finalizing plans, with an expectation to have the structure set by the end of April, sources said.
"Everybody is kind of stepping back and scratching their heads as far as how you do this remotely – so it doesn't change the experience, it doesn't take away from institutional knowledge and best practices," one of the sources told PE Hub.
Vista Equity, for instance, expects to move forward with all full-time hires, including associates, analysts and interns, one of the people said. All new hires are expected to officially start in June, remotely.
Moreover, some expressed optimism that the economic uncertainty could make for a fruitful internship experience.
"I can imagine why Vista would be moving forward with full-time associates and analysts, as well as with interns. The firm is well positioned, particularly given the volatility in the public markets," the source said.
TPG also expects to honor all offers and onboard full-time associates that come through the Associate Orientation Program, as well as its interns, the firm told PE Hub.
TPG hosts its internship in partnership with organizations such as Girls Who Invest and Seizing Every Opportunity. It is working with the organizations to assess the format, a TPG spokesperson said. The internship is expected to launch in July.
TPG's Associate Orientation Program is set to begin in late summer and the firm plans to onboard its incoming hires in person, the firm's spokesperson said.
"We are planning for a live orientation program, however are working to develop contingency plans for offering a virtual program if necessary, based on health, safety, and travel guidance from local governments and health authorities at the time," the TPG spokesperson said.
Carlyle Group is also evaluating a potential virtual format. The firm plans to virtually onboard interns in mid-June via Zoom and welcome its associates in the end of July when Carlyle's Associate Program usually begins, sources said. If the situation permits, Carlyle will host its interns in the office, if the office is back up and running and the interns are comfortable commuting in, the sources explained.
Some PE firms decided to shorten the time that interns will spend with them this summer.
General Atlantic plans to launch its summer analyst program, equivalent to an internship, July 6, instead of its original June 1 start date, the sources said. The length of the program will be compressed to five weeks, they said.
Similarly, Riverside Company is planning to push back its internship program for a month or so and start in early July, versus early June, according to sources.
The firm is still refining the format of the internship and plans to communicate final terms with nearly 25 incoming interns by end of April, the people said.
The decision to compress the duration of internships is driven by the underlying pressure that PE firms are already experiencing in their internal processes, sources said. Portfolio support takes more time than usual and is more sensitive due to the crisis, which becomes a priority for firms over external programs, they said.
Some firms, however, remain hopeful about the potential to run parts of their programs in-person.
Alpine Investors, which hired 10 interns across its sourcing and investing teams from seven schools, is looking to start its internship remotely, but hopes to do as many weeks in-person as possible, Matt Moore, a partner at the firm told PE Hub.
The firm also plans to host its annual CEOs in Training program, which is scheduled to start in August. The onboarding may pivot to an online format, depending on the situation, the investor said.
Overall, most firms have a similar mindset on how to handle summer programs in the unprecedented circumstances.
"It's a pretty close-knit community within private equity so people tend to try and follow consistency on how everybody else is approaching it, so there [are] a lot of pre-conversations on how you're thinking about it, how you're going to approach it," one of the sources said. "I think people, just by talking, flush a lot of the details out."
Vista Equity, General Atlantic and Riverside Company declined to comment on the record.

Update: The story was updated to reflect that Carlyle Group is still evaluating its internship format.


"Did you know most Americans (78 percent) agree that preparing financially for life's unknowns is a way to show that you care? In fact, a little closer look at the data finds almost 2 in 3 (65 percent) think that having life insurance is key to taking care of their family financially."
Nearly 8 in 10 single parents (78 percent) agree that financially preparing for life's unknowns is a way to show your loved ones you care. And most of them (85 percent) say feeling financially secure is a top priority, as is reducing financial stress (79 percent). However, only slightly more than half of single parents have life insurance in place compared to parents who live with their spouse/partner (72 percent).

In January, plans for the Hook Lane housing development of 300 houses were turned down (for now) by councillors.
But not until members of the same Conservative-dominated development control committee had already approved outline planning applications for two other schemes in the village, late last year.
The housing already pushed through by Arun District Council consists of a scheme for 400 houses south of Summer Lane and another scheme of 280 houses north of Sefter Lane.
Voting this time Conservative councillors seem to finally be acknowledging the lack of infrastructure and the dangerous nature of the Pagham Road. One conservative councillor even labelled the scheme "overdevelopment".
All too little, too late for the residents of Pagham, Aldwick and Bersted.
The schemes are being put forward by developers following Arun District Council's approval of the Local Plan in 2018, which allocated land for thousands of houses surrounding Pagham, Aldwick and Bersted, to the west of Bognor Regis.


Back in March, I expressed my concerns about director Juan Solanas' sci-fi romance film UPSIDE DOWN (2013). It didn't help that reviews of it were less than positive. Therefore, I wasn't in a rush to see it in the theater. When the film showed up on Netflix, however, I decided to give it a shot.
This post will include some spoilers so I can best explain why it didn't work for me.
The upside is that UPSIDE DOWN is *definitely* a science fiction romance film. No doubt about it, when it comes to SFR content, the film's heart is in the right place. It's even got a great tagline: "What if love was stronger than gravity?"
The downside—and it's a big one—is that the film fails on multiple levels. I don't even know where to start, quite frankly.
I'll tackle the setting first. UPSIDE DOWN is certainly a pretty film to look at. Some might even describe it as gorgeous. It's a high concept idea with an easy-to-grasp premise: two opposite worlds locked in an embrace by gravity. The "Up Above" world is prosperous, while the "Down Below" world is dystopian in nature.
One of the problems, however, is that in the beginning, the film sets a reader up to expect hard SF elements. There's a lengthy info-dump at the beginning (not unlike some hard SF novels) and a clear attempt at presenting the science in a plausible way. Unfortunately, the film veers off into science fantasy and is inconsistent regarding the laws of physics.
Also, a skyscraper-type building, owned by the evil corporation TransWorld, connects the two worlds. Subsequently, we're asked to assume the two planets rotate at exactly the same speed. Because otherwise the building would be torn apart.
So there was quite a bit of handwavium as far as the hard SF elements. I think UPSIDE DOWN would have been better served as being science fantasy right from the beginning.
The romance plot can be summed up as hero meets heroine, hero loses heroine, hero pursues heroine, hero finds heroine. The romance is of the forbidden nature kind, like Romeo and Juliet, because people from the two worlds aren't supposed to develop relationships. How the Up Above world regulates such a Draconian law isn't clear, except for the fact that gravity prevents citizens of either world from easily traveling between them (for example, gravity would constantly pull someone from the opposite world toward the ceiling). That's leaving a lot to chance, which made me question the intelligence of the Up Above leaders.
The film is also very clear about the soul mate component. Like I mentioned earlier, it's very pro-SFR. The hero and heroine meet as children, but the plot quickly jumps forward in time to reveal them as romantically involved adults. The shift from kids to adults gave me whiplash. I can't even tell you what qualities they see in each other. They meet and fall in love because they're forbidden to do so, I suppose.
We learn plenty about Adam, but Eden has zero backstory. It's scary, actually, how little we know about her. She's more of a possession for Adam to acquire, marry, and have babies with. She's the queen of Damsels In Distress. Very problematic subtext if you ask me. I estimate she only has 1% agency in the entire film. In fact, there are secondary characters who are more three-dimensional than Eden. Her diminished characterization doesn't make any kind of strategic sense when one is attempting to entertain with an SFR.
Once the hero loses the heroine, the film focuses on his effort to reunite with her. She develops amnesia (a regular romance trope, it should be noted), which presents another roadblock to her reunification with the hero.
The romance heat level is 100% sweet, by the way. There's kissing and hugging. I didn't mind that, but I also think their sexual journey was another aspect sacrificed for the sake of the visuals. Even a brief, modest love scene would have gone a long way toward developing the romance better.
As the hero attempts to reunite with Eden, the tension and conflict levels are very low. Lots of screen time is devoted to Adam working on an invention that, if perfected, would change the dynamics and fates of the two worlds. Much of the film is this: he's either working on his invention or running away from Up Above after one of his visits with Eden.
"TransWorld," which apparently rules Up Above, is a bland and ambiguous villain. Even in one scene where Adam was caught by some TransWorld goons, they let him go soon afterward. Less than a minute in terms of screen time, IIRC.
The film ends on a strong note of "love conquers all." Despite that hopeful theme, overall the film's drama was sorely disconnected from the sparkly visuals. The SFR aspect was simply a hangar on which to prop them.
After I finished watching UPSIDE DOWN, I became really frustrated in light of its reported 50 million dollar budget. I know a mid-level budget for this kind of film is a guarantee of nothing, but we do tend to associate a higher price tag with higher quality (it's a pedigree thing). UPSIDE DOWN represents a lost opportunity. Pretty visuals mean nothing in the absence of a compelling story. I can't help but wonder how many good SFR films could have been made with those millions. I'd rather have a great story in a low-budget film than pedigree.
As an SFR superfan, I feel burned by UPSIDE DOWN. I'm disappointed I couldn't love this film.

When did they win the vote?
An outline (with a bit of help from the Corn Laws)
The struggle to win the vote is as important a topic as any at KS3 but, like many important topics, it can be difficult to create the level of enthusiasm that we feel it should deserve. It's natural to develop a depth enquiry, perhaps on the Suffragettes, maybe on Chartism if there's time within the KS3 scheme of work, but placing that depth study in an outline context can be tricky. It's a classic KS3 conundrum – we'd like students to take away knowledge of Peterloo, the 1832 Reform Act, Chartism, the Reform Acts of 1867 and 1884 and why there was such opposition to extending the franchise – plus those other issues such as the importance of the secret ballot - but for many teachers time is against this.
This activity offers an outline of franchise reform which can provide a context for a depth enquiry – that outline can be done quickly but the key to its success is its use of physical representation of how many people could vote. However before we get there I've begun with a topic many people are only too happy to ignore – the Corn Laws of 1815. Why? - because they help students understand why people wanted the vote. In the early 1800s fear of hunger and starvation, a fear increased by the Corn Laws, was a prime motivation behind the demand for the vote.
This overview activity can be completed in one, maybe two lessons. Like other activities on this site, it's not a 'print and do' activity which takes away the need for preparation. There's a detailed description of the activity below but it needs careful thought about how to use it and mental rehearsal to make it effective.
There's more discussion below on this activity and its links to possible depth enquiries but some final introductory points:
1. Please don't shy away from significant topics such as parliamentary reform because they seem difficult to teach (that sense of difficulty sometimes comes from experience of teaching a topic to an older age group).
2. We always need to help students care about an issue and in this case, given the prevailing mood of 'why bother voting?' this is even more important than usual.

This activity will help students know and understand that:
a) hunger and fear of starvation were a major reason why people wanted the vote in the early 19th century.
b) the pace of change in franchise reform (who could vote) was extremely slow.
Students may also, depending on the focus of your teaching, understand the pattern of franchise reform i.e. the Reform Acts of 1832, 1867, 1884, 1918, 1928.
The Activity
Part 1 Why did they want the vote?
This part of the activity requires students to put themselves in the shoes of people in the early 19th century, to think as if inside the situation. This will help hugely with understanding and motivation. Like many activities it takes longer to describe than do – it's not as complicated as may appear!
a) Choose 2 students to be English farmers. They should stand at the front of the room to one side. Give them the A4 wheat price placards. Everyone else in the class is a British worker.
Explain to the class that many of you (the workers) are worried about whether you can feed your children - you don't earn a lot of money and you may lose your job at any time (and there's no unemployment pay).
Explain that bread (made from wheat) is the main part of the workers' diet – without bread there's the danger of hunger and even starvation. [You could flourish a brown uncut loaf while explaining this to focus attention on bread].
b) Ask workers why they would like the cost of wheat to be low? Answer – because bread will be cheap and they will be able to afford plenty of bread to feed their families.
Ask the two farmers whether they want the price of the wheat they grow to be low?
They'll need help with this but guide them through and draw out that low wheat prices mean that they will have lower income so be poorer. In turn this could mean that farmworkers lose their jobs.
The key points from the above are:
• Workers want wheat prices and resulting bread prices to be low so that they will not go hungry.
• Farmers want higher prices – they'll make more profits and employ more people.
c) Explain that the cost of wheat in 1814 is £3 a quarter in Britain (this is a notional figure). Get the English farmers to hold up the £3 A4 sheet.
Now tell everyone that the cost in France is £1.50 a quarter
(I think we can gloss over shillings but, in case you don't know, 50 pence equalled 10 shillings. A quarter was 28 pounds – roughly 13 kilos, think bags of sugar or similar)
Ask workers – will British or French wheat make cheaper bread? Answer – French.
Ask - should we import French wheat into Britain to produce cheaper bread?
[hopefully they'll agree this is a good idea because they'll be able to buy more bread]
d) Ask the farmers – what do they think of importing cheaper French wheat?
[Steer them to answer – it' not a good idea – they'll sell less English wheat or have to lower their own prices. Either way they'll be worse off. This may mean having to sack workers or lower wages]
e) What is the British government doing?
Take the role of Prime Minister yourself and announce new laws in 1815 – the Corn Laws. They say that we can't import wheat from abroad until the price of British wheat reaches £4 a quarter.
Ask farmers – what do you think of this? Answer – no cheap imports so good for profits. An excellent law!
Ask workers - what do you think of this? Answer – a terrible law – less chance of cheaper bread and more chance of hunger.
As Prime Minister, explain that you are pleased that the farmers like the Corn Laws – because they can vote. The workers do not have a vote.
f) The next harvest is poor – less wheat has been grown.
Ask farmers what they'll charge for wheat per quarter?
(Will they still charge £3 … or more? People will pay more because there's not so much to buy. Remind them that foreign wheat can be imported when the price reaches £4 – steer them to deciding on £3.50 or even £3.95)
g) Ask workers – how do you feel about this much higher price?
(they should be very worried - bring out fear of hunger – can they afford to buy much bread?)
Ask them - what can you do about it? How can you change the law?
(steer them to thinking about changing the government – but they can't do that because they can't vote – so they have to protest, campaign, march etc)
h) So why was voting so important to people in early 1800s?
This is the headline point – they wanted to vote to reduce the chances of hunger and starvation.
[At some stage you can add other things to this explanation too – to improve working and living conditions, because it was fairer etc but that central point about hunger is important. It will also explain the changes in the pattern of demand for reform over time, hence William Cobbett's comment that 'you cannot agitate a man on a full stomach'. It's obviously up to you when and how you build on this core point about why people wanted the vote – see below for use of sorting cards.]
Stage 2 – how long did it take people to get the vote?
This is very much a quick overview, using your students physically to demonstrate the pace of change in franchise reform. The idea is simple but visually very strong – you use 20 students to represent the adult population of Britain and at each reform more students stand up in proportion to the number of voters. 20 is by far the easiest number. Using 25 or 30 sometimes means getting half a student to stand up! The table below gives you the numbers. Again this explanation makes it look more complicated than it is!
a) Ask students what percentage of adults they think could vote at the time of the Corn Laws (before 1830). Were they men and women or just men?
Ask 1 student out of 20 to stand up – he is the voter - i.e. 5% of the population.
b) Explain that you are quickly going to summarise how long it took for all 20 – the whole adult population – to get the vote as a result of new laws in Parliament called Reform Acts.
One of these Reform Acts became known as The Great Reform Act – ask class why it might have this name? As you go through this outline choose which Act deserved this name – you could give this task to those students not in the 20 'voters'.
c) Explain – the first Reform Act came in 1832 following many protests and riots. For example, in Bristol the army broke up one large protest. Many people – middle class and working class – hoped they would get the vote. What % of people do you think had the vote after this Reform Act (i.e. how many more of the 20 would be standing up)?
Answer – 1 more student to stand up (see table below). The number of voters did not even double. The new voters were all men who were well-off. Ordinary working men still could not vote. Do you think this was The Great Reform Act?
d) The next Reform Act came in 1867 – that's 35 years later (think in terms of a baby growing to be 35 since 1832 – a long time).
This Act followed many years of protests, collections of signatures and petitions and many working people educating themselves. What % of people do you think had the vote after this Reform Act (i.e. how many more of the 20 would be standing up)?
Answer – 1 more student to stand up so now 3 out of 20 (see table below). The new voters were all working men in towns – they still had to be quite well-off. Many ordinary working men and all women still could not vote. Do you think this was The Great Reform Act?
e) The next Reform Act came in 1884 – that baby born in 1832 is now 52!
This Act gave the vote to many working men in the countryside – though not all working men. What % of people do you think had the vote after this Reform Act?
Answer – 3 more students to stand up so now 6 out of 20 (see table below). Over half of working men could vote – but many others and all women still could not vote. Do you think this was The Great Reform Act?
e) The next Reform Act came in 1918 after World War One – that baby born in 1832 is now 86!
This Act followed many years of campaigns, many peaceful, some violent, by women to gain the vote. Women had taken a full part in war work, working in industry to make weapons and doing many of the jobs left empty by men. Many men who fought and died had not had the vote in 1914 either. Who do you think got the vote?
Answer – all men over 21 and all women over 30 – so now 17 out of 20 can stand up. Only women aged 21 to 30 still could not vote. Do you think this was The Great Reform Act?
f) Explain that 10 years later all women over 21 could vote – ask the remaining three students to stand up.
Date of Reform
% of adult population who could vote
Number of students who should stand up in group of 20
Before reform - 1830
Give students cards to hold up with the date they got the vote on – so one 1832, one 1867 etc. If they were colour-coded the pattern would be very easy to see.
Some possible areas for discussion:
• How would you describe the rate of change in the numbers who could vote?
• Which Act do you think deserves to be called The Great Reform Act? Why do you think the 1832 Act has this name?
[You could use Sorting Cards A to consolidate the questions above – can students match the Acts to the descriptions?]
• Why were so many people desperate to have the vote – and why did some oppose extending the numbers of voters?
[You could use sorting cards B to introduce reasons for and against extending the number of voters – they're not meant to cover everything but can introduce issues you'd come back to in a depth enquiry.]
• You could look at other reforms that were sought and (mostly) were introduced over time. Sorting Cards C provide the six points of the People's Charter and the reasons why each point was sought after. You could ask students to match the aims to the problems and then suggest which of the six points were likely to have the highest priority for protesters in the 1800s. They could create a pyramid of importance using the sorting cards.
• You could also extend this discussion to overseas attitudes to voting – see the PowerPoint slide showing the queue to vote in South Africa in 1994
Reflections (for teachers)
1. What enquiry questions do you want to pose for follow-up depth enquiries?
• We often ask 'why did they get the vote in xxxx?' or focus on a single phase such as Why did so many people join the Chartists? or 'Why did women get the vote in 1918?' but here are some other possibilities which span a longer period and draw on a variety of movements:
• Why did it take so long to win the vote?
• Why did winning the vote matter so much to so many people?
• Did violence help or hinder winning the vote?
2. What other opportunities are there for using this kind of physical representation at KS3 or later?
3. What other opportunities are there for using this balance of outline and depth?
Constructive feedback is always welcome, particularly anything that will help other teachers.

Landslide in Indonesian illegal gold mine: At least 3 people dead
Unemployment People trapped Fatalities support bar failure Landslide Illegal mining North Sulawesi province Indonesia CivilEngineer
News On Natural Disasters / Failures Landslides Landslides
Landslide in Indonesian illegal gold mine Source: BBC
A landslide at an unlicensed goldmine buried numerous people, causing at least 3 fatalities, in Indonesia.
The landslide occurred at 9:00 local time on February 26, 2019 in the Bakan village, North Sulawesi province, Indonesia. Support beams in the gold mine gave way due to shifting soil. The structural collapse triggered the slide.
When starting a mine, the characteristics of the landscape should be considered. Such an evaluation would involve "the type of soil -- if it is stony or not -- how many trees or other forestation is present in the location, and the ability of the slope to support the burden if it rains (heavily)," as Agus Budianto, landslide mitigation head at the Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center, describes.
However, illegal small-scale mines do not carry out such investigations and thus structural or soil failures can occur. In this particular case, the supports bars failed triggering a soil failure.
According to recent updates, 7 people have been confirmed dead and 19 have been rescued. Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict the number of people that are still trapped under the debris. "We think there are still many people inside the mine, because it is an illegal mine, so we cannot predict. Based on statements from people who survived, the numbers are inconsistent. Some say there were more than 100 in the mine, some said about 80. We are still in the dark when it comes to the actual number," Yasti Soepredjo, head of the Bolaang Mongondow region, stated.
Rescue teams were working by hand in search of survivors as heavy equipment could not be carried in such a remote region. Moreover, rescuers should be particularly cautious when digging inside the rubble to avoid triggered subsequent failures. "Unstable soil conditions make us extra careful lifting rocks because it can lead to new landslides. We still hear voices crying for help from people beneath the rubble," Abdul Muin Paputungan, a local disaster official, commented.
Some people believe that local unemployment has forced residents to rely on illegal mining in order to survive.

Meet Marc
Meet Marc Marmel
Traveling down the Côte d'Azur, entertainment executive Marc Marmel was waiting at the airport when he observed a parade of the same conventional luxury travel pieces going by on the conveyor belt, one after the other. It was then that an inspired idea hit him. "Why not create a chic alternative to these traditional logoed and labeled brands? A line of high-end travel goods that already look like they have traveled the world, having a thousand stories to tell." Modeling his collection with this twist on iconic European brands of the 19th and 20th Century, he saw a niche that his aesthetic vision could fulfill for discerning travelers worldwide. Travelers accustomed to private jets, first class service and five-star hotels.
Inspired by the Golden Age of Travel, every design from the Marc Marmel collection looks like a vintage treasure discovered in your grandparent's attic or a Parisian antique fair. Each item is handmade in the U.S. with Marc's signature Italian cracked leather juxtaposed with rich and vibrant silk brocade linings. No two pieces crack alike making each creation as unique as a fingerprint. Each piece from the collection will age exquisitely with use, thus creating an even more weathered and personalized patina throughout its journey in time.
Since its inception, the brand's appeal took off right away. Marc won the "Rising Star Award" from Fashion Group International as Designer of the Year.
Stores such as Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Harrods, Holt Renfrew, Lane Crawford, Matches Fashion, Maxfield and Podium positioned the collection alongside all the biggest names in luxury. Part of the brand's philosophy has been to work with the leading luxury retailers throughout the world.
Prestigious publications including Angeleno, Bride & Bloom, British GQ, C Magazine, Conde Nast, Elle, Flaunt, Genlux, GQ, Haute Living, Huffington Post, Item, Joker, LA Confidential, LA Magazine, L'Officiel Hommes, Los Angeles Magazine, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Riveria, Tatler, Tennis Magazine, Toronto Globe and Mail, Vanity Fair, Vivre, Vogue (German, British, Italian), and Women's Wear Daily featured Marc Marmel in editorials and interviews.
The Marc Marmel brand has grown substantially with many new elements for consumers to get excited about. The collection has expanded and evolved in all relatable categories including handbags, small leather goods and home collection pieces. There are many exciting new styles, vibrant new colors and unique vintage silks that expand upon the brands story within its own very distinctive DNA. The Marc Marmel brand's vision is continually evolving within the foundation of its signature cracked leather and silk. All of Marc's new designs as well as the classic signature styles are now available.
Marc Marmel is a luxury leather goods brand that intertwines a timeless elegance evocative of the golden age of travel, with a distinct contemporary cool connected to its individuality and LA roots.

Team hosts donation drive for disaster victims
Posted by Raiza Giorgi | Feb 20, 2018 | Education | 0 |
Star Staff
The Thomas Fire and Montecito mudslides affected much of southern Santa Barbara County, taking lives, causing injuries, destroying homes and businesses, and shutting down Highway 101 for two weeks as crews worked tirelessly to clean up the mud.
The disasters have also brought out the good in the community, however, with groups including the Santa Ynez High School girls basketball team coming forward to help their neighbors.
"I live in Santa Barbra and so the fire directly affected me, and it affected a lot of friends of mine," said Coach Ashley Coelho.
The Thomas Fire broke out on the evening of Dec. 4 and charred 281,893 acres, destroying 1,063 structures, damaging 280 others and leaving the landscape open for mudslides and debris flows.
The disastrous rain storm on Jan. 9 dumped half an inch of rain in less than five minutes in the mountains above Montecito, which was the catalyst for the mudslide and debris flows that killed 21 people, with two children still listed as missing.
Coelho had been overhearing parents talk about the tragedies and the kids in the bus talk about it and thought they should help the community. The team immediately set to action and was excited to host a donation drive.
The team along with Coelho and assistant coach Jani Lindberg donated two school vans full of clothes, toys and canned food, which they recently delivered to Goodwill in Santa Barbara.
"We are all very proud of our varsity and JV teams for representing our girls basketball program and SYHS. In addition to donating to those in need, our drive brought awareness and compassion to our campus," Lindberg said.
"It's important to give back to the community and teach the younger generation about supporting it," added team captain Lita Wrigh

Home » Blog » What happened at B2BMX18?
From 19 to 21 February 2018, I attended B2BMX in Phoenix, Arizona. It was my first time participating in this specialized conference for B2B marketers, which was co-organized by our Content4Demand partner - G3 Communication. I was truly surprised by the quality of the presentations and speakers. They demonstrated how far U.S. companies are ahead of Europe. It is not surprising that this conference is experiencing exceptional growth each year.
In this article I would like to share 4 insights with you.
Account Based Marketing (ABM) and Account Based Selling (ABS) were by far the most popular topics of this B2BMX edition. However, we could refer to these ideas as Account based Engagement (ABE) instead. These are not new concepts, but in a sales ecosystem where technology is constantly evolving, the terms have been reborn. U.S. sales & marketing teams seem to have understood this, since they have clearly started to redefine their strategy and invest in appropriate technology solutions. Our American technology partners like Terminus and Marketo presented their new products.
LeadFabric is already on this path as we set our strategy last year to be THE European ABM player. For those who haven't had the opportunity to follow our dedicated Zen Events yet, do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
Personalization is the key to building a real customer experience. During his Keynote, Jeff Marcoux emphasized the importance for B2B brands to go beyond simple personalized emails and landing pages. We need to build a real buying journey for the different target groups from the first contact until the closing phase.
It is essential to define your personas and their journey in order to create the right content for each target group, at each stage and in the correct channel. At this conference, we met multiple MarTechs (like SnappApp and Uberflip). They offer solutions to create interactive content in all formats that can be synchronized to Marketing Automation and CRM platforms. We cannot wait to offer this to our customers.
AI and machine learning are creating a new disruptive model in the world of B2B marketing. McKinsey & Co predict that 45% of the jobs in this field will be automated within the next 20 years.
We discovered some very interesting technologies like Conversica, which is a tool that functions as a "sales assistant". Conversica communicates with your leads and customers via Email to set appointments. It is already available in 7 languages. We were amazed by the quality and relevance of this assistant. Koen de Witte (LeadFabric's Director) did not even realize that he had been talking to a robot named Rachel for several weeks until he decided he wanted to meet her.
What differentiates us from AI machines with their incredible computing power is our creativity. This is the skill that every marketer should develop.
There are so many clichés about Millennials: they are individualistic, not very materialistic, resistant to Marketing ... But in fact, they are ultra-connected, work in communities and are attracted to brands that participate on social networks. Within two years, Millennials will represent half the world's population. This is the generation that is literally pouring into our businesses today. American B2B companies have largely begun to adapt their communication as a function of this change.
Millennials are big consumers of digital content and especially video. Of all the B2B content types available, video is by far the one that Millennials prefer to consult. They also attach much more importance to social influencers than previous generations. This means that we can only imagine what kind of communication we will have to create in the future to engage with this generation. Let's be creative, because they are too! Much more than just consuming content on the internet, they express themselves. They post on social networks, write blogs, share videos. They create their own content that they share with their communities.

Q: Get rid of the "Established User" privilege The Established User privilege which is gained at one thousand reputation has been around forever. We all know that it lets you see the vote count on posts.
But I propose we remove the 1k reputation restriction that is in place to access vote counts. Or at least make it to where that privilege doesn't appear on the privileges page.
Why? Because that restriction is completely, 100% useless as you have been able to view vote counts without having 1000 reputation for ages, with this userscript. You don't even have to be signed in to view the vote counts.
Why have a useless privilege when you dont actually even need 1k rep?

A: Let's set aside the question of whether seeing the current vote count on a post is useless.  I, too, use a userscript to see this network-wide, so that particular privilege isn't gaining me much except the ability to somewhat awkwardly view vote counts on my phone (as you might guess, I rarely do this).
This privilege still isn't useless, because it lets you do more than that: you can also see the vote history
I can, for example, open up the highest voted question on Meta.SE, open the timeline, and click "Show Vote Summaries," which shows me this page telling me on which days that post got each of its thousands of upvotes...and, for whatever reason, 8 downvotes (I guess those were from the people who'd been scraping the profile data).


It is highly likely that you will end up graduating college with at least some student loans. Because of the cost of college today, the amount of student loans you graduate with will be something you'll have to think about for years or decades after graduation, so it's a good idea to know what you're getting into. We'll walk you through the types of loans, tips for the FAFSA, and types of repayment plans.
There are two types of student loans: federal and private. Federal loans come from the U.S. government and come in three different forms: direct, direct PLUS, and Perkins. If you have a high school diploma you likely qualify for federal loans. The interest rates on most of these loans are set by Congress each year (except the Perkins loan, which is explained below).
Direct subsidized (or subsidized Stafford) loans are designated for undergraduate students with a financial need. You do not need to worry about any interest accrued while you're in school with these types of loans.
Direct unsubsidized (or unsubsidized Stafford) loans are the most common loans and are available to both undergraduate and graduate students. Unlike their subsidized counterparts, they do accrue interest while you're in school, which you will see added onto your balance after your grace period. More information on grace periods is below. Make sure you factor in the interest on these loans, so you aren't surprised when the amount borrowed goes up upon graduation, due to the capitalization of interest.
Grad PLUS loans, like private loans, take into account your credit scores. They are available to graduate and professional students and come without borrowing limits.
Parent PLUS loans are for parents of undergraduate students. They also do not have borrowing limits, but, again, are dependent upon excellent credit histories.
Perkins Loans – Perkins loans are also subsidized loans undergraduate students with extreme financial need. These loans always charge a 5% interest and do not include fees. However, after September 30, 2017 these loans will no longer be available.
Private loans, on the other hand, come from private banks and financial institutions, and you qualify for these based on your credit score. Because of this, you will likely need to apply for a private loan with a parent or guardian. Typically, private loans come with a much higher interest rate and less flexibility for repayment plans than federal loans. Private loan interest rates are based both on credit scores and the economy.
Most federal loans give you six to nine months after graduation before you must begin repayment. Some private loans may also offer a grace period, though typically a shorter one. Note that your unsubsidized loans will continue to accrue interest during this period, however.
Federal loans default to a standard 10 year repayment plan upon graduation. This plan gives you a fixed amount each month for the next decade, but depending on how big your debt is and how much you're making that amount can be prohibitive. Thankfully there are other options, which are offered through your loan provider or the Department of Education's student loan website. You have flexibility to switch between plans at anytime, depending on what you initially borrowed, your current income, and your family size. These other plans are income-driven, which cap your payment at a particular percentage of your current income, usually 10-15%. However, because you are making smaller payments, your repayment terms increases from 10 years to 20 or 25, meaning your are paying more on interest in the long run. Use the Department of Education's Repayment Estimator to help you figure out what you'll pay with each plan.
Income-based repayment: good if you have a lot of debt compared to income and took out your loans after July 1, 2014.
Pay As You Earn: good if you have a lot of debt compared to income and took out loans after September 30, 2007 and again after September 30, 2011. Very few qualify for this option.
Revised Pay As You Earn: good if you have undergraduate loans and can't afford payment on the standard plan, or if you have graduate loans and don't qualify for options 1 or 2. Not likely a good option if you are married, because your monthly payment is determined by both your and your spouse's combined incomes, regardless of whether you file taxes separately or not.
Income-contingent repayment: good if you have Parent PLUS loans and can't afford payments on the standard plan, but can pay more than on options 1-3.
Graduated repayment: good if you can't afford the standard plan and you expect your income to steadily increase over time. Your repayment term remains at 10 years and will increase every two years, regardless of whether your income does or not.
Extended repayment: good if you can't afford the standard plan and want fixed monthly payments. This extends your repayment plan to 25 years to make monthly payments easier, but also means you are payment much more on interest in the long-run. You can also choose to make graduated payments with this option.
If you work in certain professions, you could have federal loans forgiven after 20 or 25 years of payments. Through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, if you work at a nonprofit, as a teacher, or at a government agency your loans can be forgiven in as little as 10 years.
In order to qualify for any federal loans you must first fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Based on your FAFSA, the government decides how much you (or your family) can reasonably pay towards your college. The difference is then covered by a mix of loans, grants, and/or scholarships, as recommended by the schools you are accepted to. The FAFSA is available for the next academic year beginning in October (starting in October 2016) each year. You'll want to start the process during your senior year of high school, as the earlier you fill it out the more aid you are likely to receive from limited funding sources, such as Work Study.
Before you begin filling out your FAFSA, there are a few things to make sure you have.
FSA ID: If you are a dependent student, know that you will need information on your parents' finances. Your parents will also need to apply for a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) for you. You'll need this ID before you can begin filling out the FAFSA, but should only take a few minutes to get.
Last year's tax returns, W-2s, and any other records of money earned. Depending on when you file your taxes and apply aid, you might be able to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool [link: https://fafsa.ed.gov/fotw1718/help/irshlp9.htm] , which lets you transfer your tax returns directly to your FAFSA.
Upon acceptance to a school you will receive a financial aid award letter. While these letters will include any scholarships or grants the school might offer, it also includes loans you qualify for. Make sure you understand exactly which aid is essentially free money (scholarships, waivers, and grants) and what is actually loan money. Your letter may or may not include the total cost of school. Some may only include the cost of tuition, but not room and board, books, other fees, etc, which add up. If this information is not provided, do your research so you are able to properly determine how much is actually being offered and which school is giving you the best deal.
Note that just because you are offered a particular amount in scholarships, grants, or other "gift" amounts one year does not mean you will receive the same thing next year. Make sure you understand how any aid from the school may change from year to year, as this will impact what you'll need to take out in loans.

When Universal City Studios Inc. began developing its first Orlando property, the park was originally envisioned along the lines of the long-established Hollywood Studio Tour, with most guest experiences occurring in an extensive tram tour of the limited-access back lot, along with a handful of rides and shows in the front of the park. When Disney aped that exact game plan for Disney-MGM Studios (now Disney's Hollywood Studios), Universal did a dramatic 180, breaking out the tram tour's iconic encounters—King Kong, Earthquake, and JAWS—into their own headliner attractions, each of which easily exceeded its Disney contemporaries in technology and thrill (if not reliability) upon the 1990 debut of Universal Studios Florida (USF).
Since the turn of the millennium, the two parks have gone in different directions. Whereas Disney's Hollywood Studios (DHS) essentially abandoned its production facilities long ago, USF test-markets TV pilots to guests and hosts some actual filming, some of which visitors can attend.
More important, USF has either updated or replaced nearly every attraction that opened in the 1990s, supplanting King Kong with Revenge of the Mummy, Back to the Future: The Ride with The Simpsons Ride, and JAWS with The Wizarding World of Harry Potter–Diagon Alley. Each upgrade and new attraction brought with it groundbreaking advancements in ride hardware and special effects.
In contrast, only one truly innovative attraction has opened at DHS in the past decade: 2008's Toy Story Mania! While work is under way to revitalize DHS, at the moment the park offers just 5 real rides versus USF's 10 major moving attractions.
Watching USF's constant evolution has been thrilling, but it can also be disconcerting—if the last time you visited was in the early 2000s, you won't recognize the majority of the park. USF celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2015, but precious little early history is left intact in the park for longtime visitors who loved such long-gone opening-day attractions as Alfred Hitchcock: The Art of Making Movies, The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, and Ghostbusters Spooktacular.
It takes 10 to 12 hours to tour Universal Studios, including a break for lunch. Your early morning hours will be spent on rides; most of Universal's stage shows don't usually start running until an hour or two after the park opens, and play to partially-filled theaters until early afternoon.
USF is laid out in a P-configuration, with the rounded part of the P sticking out disproportionately from the stem. Beyond the main entrance plaza (known as the Front Lot), a wide boulevard stretches past several shows and rides to the park's New York area. Branching off this pedestrian thoroughfare to the right are four streets that access other areas of the park and intersect a promenade circling a large oval man-made lake, where the majority of the shows and attractions are located. The area of USF open to visitors is a bit smaller than Epcot.
Beginning at the park entrance and going clockwise, the first area you'll encounter is Production Central, which includes the Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem, Rip Ride Rockit, Transformers The Ride-3D, and Shrek 4-D attractions. At the top of the P is the New York area, including Race Through New York starring Jimmy Fallon (opening 2017) and Revenge of the Mummy. Next is San Francisco, future home of Fast & Furious: Supercharged (opening 2018); The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley, with Hogwarts Express - King's Cross Station and Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts; World Expo, with MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack; Springfield, home of The Simpsons Ride; and Woody Woodpecker's KidZone, containing E.T Adventure, two stage shows, a small roller coaster and several play areas. The last themed area, back near the front of the park, is Hollywood, featuring Universal Orlando's Horror Make Up Show, and Terminator 2: 3-D.
In most of USF, the line where one themed area begins and another ends is blurry, since much of the architecture consists of boring box-like soundstages barely concealed behind false fronts. No matter; guests orient themselves by the major rides, sets, and landmarks and refer, for instance, to "the waterfront," "over by E.T.," or "by Mel's Diner." In diametric contrast, the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter -Diagon Alley (and, to a much lesser extent, the Springfield area around The Simpsons Ride) is an immersive themed area whose scope and scale exceed those of any current Walt Disney World land.
Where to Find Strollers, Wheelchairs, Lockers, Etc.
Almost all guest services are found in the Front Lot, just inside the main entrance. Services and amenities include stroller and wheelchair rentails to the left as you enter; and lockers, lost and found, and first aid to the right. You'll also find the Studio Audience Center, where you can sign up to be an audience member at any live television productions that may be recording that day. Past series taped at USF have included game shows, talk shows, cooking shows, Telemundo's La Voz Kids, and TNA's IMPACT Wresting. Call 407-363-8400 and select option 5 to find out what's scheduled during your visit.
See more wheelchair information on our special needs page.
See more locker information on our lockers page.
See more stroller information on our kids page.
Universal Studios Florida "Secret Entrance"
There is actually a "secret" secondary entrance to USF tucked under the Rip Ride Rockit track, between Despicable Me and the Universal Studios Store. It doesn't open until late morning (usually around 10:30 a.m.), but it can save you a few minutes entering on a busy afternoon; follow the signs from CityWalk for the Blue Man Group theater to find it. It also makes an excellent egress when you want exit towards Islands of Adventure.
In addition to the shows profiled, USF offers two major daily outdoor entertainments, along a wide range of smaller street performances.
Costumed comic book and cartoon characters (Shrek and Donkey, SpongeBob SquarePants, Transformers) pose with guests at organized meet-and-greets that are marked on the park maps. Others, like Woody Woodpecker, along with look-alikes of movie stars, both living and deceased, roam the Hollywood and Front Lot areas for photo ops. See our Universal with Kids page for more character information.
The Studio Brass Band performs familiar TV and movie theme songs in a funky, high energy style. You'll see them in the morning as you enter, set up on the corner near the Hello Kitty store. Show times are listed in the map, and usually end by early afternoon. The band may take 5 during slow seasons.
Universal has introduced some small-scale street shows in the New York and San Francisco sections to distract crowds while the replacements for Twister and Disaster! are under construction. Marilyn Monroe and the Diamond Bellas perform a four-minute song and dance routine (anachronistically lip-synched to the Moulin Rouge cover of her signature song) in front of the Macy's facade, followed by a photo op. Nearby, the Sing It! show is an a cappella 'competition' loosely inspired by the 'riff-off' scene in Pitch Perfect, featuring earworm pop tunes performed by powerful vocalists. The Beat Builders are a quartet of beefy guys who hang out on the scaffolding outside of Louie's Restaurant and turn their construction equipment into percussion instruments, in the tradition of Stomp. Finally, San Francisco's Flying Fish Market sells no seafood, but the troupe does toss fish-shaped juggling clubs while flipping off trampolines and performing other acrobatic feats. All of these shows have performance times listed in the park map, and none are worth going out of your way for. If you aren't on a tight touring plan and see one starting as you walk by, stop and watch until you get bored, but don't be surprised if some have been retired by the time you visit.
During peak seasons, you may find Street Breakz breakdancers demonstrating their skills near KidZone, or a troupe of gymnasts in a random spot; it's impossible to say what kind of acts Universal will pull out when the parks get packed.

Correlated electronic properties of a graphene nanoflake: Coronene
Suryoday Prodhan, Sumit Mazumdar, S. Ramasesha
We report studies of the correlated excited states of coronene and substituted coronene within the Pariser–Parr–Pople (PPP) correlated π-electron model employing the symmetry-adapted density matrix renormalization group technique. These polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons can be considered as graphene nanoflakes. We review their electronic structures utilizing a new symmetry adaptation scheme that exploits electron-hole symmetry, spin-inversion symmetry, and end-to-end interchange symmetry. The study of the electronic structures sheds light on the electron correlation effects in these finite-size graphene analogues, which diminishes going from one-dimensional to higher-dimensional systems, yet is significant within these finite graphene derivatives.
