BYU forward Yoeli Childs battles for a rebound aginst Saint Mary's center Jock Landale in the Marriott Center in Provo on Saturday, Dec. 30, 2017.
BYU's Seljaas making key contributions; Is Nixon close to returning to the floor?
It's not a statistic tracked by the NCAA, but it's a stat that Cougar players keep on the forefront of their minds, especially during games.
By definition, a kill is when a team gets three defensive stops in a row. The concept was introduced to BYU by assistant coach Heath Schroyer when he was hired by Dave Rose last spring.
In last Saturday's dominating 84-50 victory at Santa Clara, the Cougars recorded a staggering 11 kills.
In the second half, BYU held the Broncos without a field goal for more than 12 minutes and Santa Clara missed 17 consecutive shots during that stretch as part of a 19-1 run that saw the Cougars' lead balloon to 38 points.
For a program that has struggled defensively the past several years, the kill stat has helped BYU, coaches and players agree.
Schroyer serves as the Cougars' associate head coach, and not long after he rejoined the program — he was a BYU assistant under Steve Cleveland and was on the staff with Rose from 1997-2001 — he told Rose about kills, a stat Schroyer instituted while head coach at UT Martin a few years ago.
"I don't know where it originated. I think I actually read it somewhere," Schroyer said of the kill stat. "When I was at Tennessee-Martin, it was something that we adopted and used. It really helped us. It's just something that is really tangible in the middle of a game to talk to your team about.
Director of basketball operations Andrew May keeps track of kills on the bench during games and lets the players know their progress.
"I always ask him how many we have. He does a great job with it," Schroyer said of May. "The guys have recognized it. It's the first thing we talk about before we take the floor and it's the first thing we talk about at halftime.
Forward Yoeli Childs said the focus on getting kills translates into an emphasis on playing defense.
At Pacific, where the Cougars lost 67-66 on Jan. 6, BYU recorded only two kills. In a 74-64 overtime loss against Saint Mary's, the Cougars had five kills.
There are many ways to measure defensive effort, including points allowed and field goal percentage allowed.
This season, BYU is giving up 65.1 points per game, compared to 74.3 points a year ago. But that probably reveals more about the slower, more deliberate pace the Cougars are running this season.
Meanwhile, BYU opponents are shooting 44 percent from the field, including 33 percent from 3-point range, this season. Last year, the Cougars' opponents shot 41 percent from the field and 32 percent from 3-point range. BYU's team defensive efficiency is .938, ranked No. 45 nationally this season, compared to .961 last season, No. 50 in the country.
All that aside, the program has emphasized this stat known as a kill.


Does Mercury have an atmosphere?
Mercury has an extremely thin atmosphere which is made up of atoms blasted off its surface by the Solar wind, a constant stream of particles coming from the outer layer of the Sun. Because Mercury is so hot, these atoms quickly escape into space. Unlike the stable atmospheres of Earth and Venus, Mercury's atmosphere is constantly being replenished.

The rise of fantasy gaming
A fantasy game (also known less commonly as rotisserie or even roto) is a kind of game, often played with the Internet, where players build imaginary or virtual groups of actual players of a professional game. These teams compete depending on the statistical operation of these players' in actual games. These point systems can be simple enough to be manually calculated by a"team commissioner" who coordinates and manages the overall league, or points can be compiled and calculated using computers tracking actual results of the professional sport.
Commissioner.com was sold to SportsLine, late in 1999, for $31 million in cash and stock. By 2003, Commissioner.com helped SportsLine generate $11 million from fantasy revenue. Commissioner.com is now the fantasy sports engine behind the CBSSports.com fantasy area (after SportsLine was sold to CBS in 2004).
RotoNews.com launched in January 1997 and published its first player note on February 16, 1997. Within two years RotoNews had become one of the top ten most trafficked sports sites on the web, according to Media Metrix, ranking higher than such sites as NBA.com. RotoNews.com was sold to Broadband Sports in 1999 and later survived as RotoWire.com.
The growth in fantasy sports revenue attracted larger media players. Yahoo.com added fantasy sports in 1999 – a new business model for fantasy sports. A trade group for the industry, the Fantasy Sports Trade Association was formed in 1998.
Other entries to the market during this era included Fanball.com, launched in 1999 by the parent company of Fantasy Football Weekly.
An early survey of the fantasy sports market in the U.S. in 1999 showed 29.6 million people age 18 and older played fantasy games. However, that figure was reduced in later years when it was determined the survey also included people who play NCAA bracket pools, which are not fantasy sports, since they involved picking teams, not individual players.
Internet era
While fantasy sports were fueled by the dot-com boom of the Internet, there was a turbulent period when many of the high-flying Internet companies of the era crashed in 2001. Fanball.com went bankrupt in 2001, (later to re-emerge in 2001).
There were also different business models. RotoNews.com launched the Web's first free commissioner service in 1998, quickly becoming the largest league management service.
Two years later the trend reversed. Sportsline moved back to a pay model for commissioner services (which it largely still has today). TheHuddle.com, a free site since 1997, started to charge for information. RotoWire.com moved from a free model to a pay model in 2001 as well. Despite the economic instability, fantasy sports started to become a mainstream hobby. In 2002, the NFL found that the average male surveyed spent 6.6 hours a week watching the NFL on TV; fantasy players surveyed said they watched 8.4 hours of NFL per week. "This is actually the first time we have managed to demonstrate especially that dream play drives TV viewing," said Chris Russo, the NFL's senior vice president. The NFL began running promotional television ads for fantasy football featuring current players for the first time. Previously fantasy sports had largely been seen in a negative light by the major sports leagues.
Fantasy sports continued to grow with a 2003 Fantasy Sports Trade Association survey showing 15 million people playing fantasy football and spending about $150 a year on average, making it a $1.5 billion industry. More recently a 2013 article by Forbes.com shows 32 million Americans spend $467 per person or about $15 billion in total playing. https://www.forbes.com/sites/briangoff/2013/08/20/the-70-billion-fantasy-football-market/#30a3709d755c
In autumn 2008, the Montana Lottery, one of only four U.S. states to legalize sports betting at the time, began offering fantasy sports wagering for the first time.
Since 2012 there has been a boom of apps being built for fantasy.
Daily fantasy sports (or DFS) contests are played across shorter periods of time, such as a single week of a season, rather than an entire season. Daily fantasy games are typically played as"competitions" subject to an entry fee, which funds an advertised prize pool and an administrative fee is partially collected as revenue for the service.
Daily fantasy sports began to emerge in 2007 with the launch of Fantasy Sports Live. In 2008, NBC launched SnapDraft; and FanDuel quickly became the prominent DFS site shortly after it launched in 2009. DFS experienced a major increase in prominence in 2014 and 2015 with the dramatic growth of two competing services: DraftKings and FanDuel. Both received venture capital investments from various firms, including sports teams and broadcasters, and became known for running aggressive marketing campaigns with an emphasis on large cash prizes.
The legality of daily fantasy games has been challenged, with critics, as well as the state of Nevada, arguing that they closer-resemble proposition wagering on athlete performance than a traditional fantasy sports game, while DraftKings' CEO has known its matches as being like internet poker. DFS suppliers have mentioned the UIGEA's exemptions of fantasy sports because being a general exclusion due to their legality; their legality is subject to the way individual nations classify a game of chance.
Daily Fantasy Sports were not officially available in 5 countries [Iowa, Arizona, Louisiana, Montana, Washington] who have legislation saying a game which involves any opportunity is betting. Additionally many other countries have cloudy legal environments for compensated fantasy sports competitions with negative AG remarks or in the event of Nevada, necessitating a gaming permit. Because of this, Draftkings and Fanduel are busy in just 41 states. Neither is now accepting clients in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Hawaii, Louisiana or even Nevada. Furthermore, Fanduel failed to accept clients from Texas from 2016 to 2018, but reversed it is standing and began offering competitions again. In his closing remarks in the January 2016 FTSA seminar in Dallas, Fantasy Sports Trade Association President Paul Charchian stated"We need to formally legalize fantasy play in 50 states."
But because first legal struggles, 21 countries have since enacted legislation confirming that DFS competitions are lawful games of skill. States like Iowa and Alabama enacted legislation to permit DFS and compensated fantasy sports competitions in 2019. Louisiana passed a voter referendum in 2018 to let paid fantasy sports competitions, but wants to pass a legislation to control the business.

"Lack of cooperation" holding up murder investigation
Julian Sadur,
Sheriff Mike Lewis
With the crucial 48 hour deadline already passed in Salisbury's most recent murder frustration at the Wicomico County Sheriff's office is mounting.
"We have a lack of cooperation among witnesses in this case. Absolutely," said Sheriff Mike Lewis.
It's that lack of cooperation that Lewis said is holding up the investigation into Friday's homicide. Wyatt Fitzgerald was gunned down on the 900 block of Booth Street in broad daylight, but no one has come forward with answers.
"We know there are eye witnesses to this crime, what we need is for our community to step up to the plate and say you know what we've had enough," Lewis said.
Knowing the challenges officials face 47 ABC went into the community searching for answers, but we too left empty handed.
Lewis was not surprised. His team has been working around the clock since Friday to try to bring Fitzgerald's killer to justice. He adds he understands the culture in that neighborhood and that people are fearful of retaliation, but he urges them to step forward.
"If they don't want to be part of the case we fully understand that, but we still implore them to call me and do the right thing," Lewis said.
Lewis said those with information will be kept anonymous and would not be forced to testify. His office is also offering a monetary reward for information.
With or without their help though Lewis does have a promise he says he will fulfill.
"I have a duty and a responsibility to bring closure to the family members of the man who died in the 900 block of Booth street Friday afternoon and I am determined to do that," Lewis said.

Mama Kat's Writers Work Shop Writing Prompt: Tell us the story of how your pet came to be a member of your family.
Hi, everyone. My name is Nishe' and I'm taking over my mommy's blog. I will be telling you how it is that Oreo got to live with us. As you know , we got Jojo in February. About a month or two after we got our cat Jojo, Oreo came. We got Oreo from our cousin. It was a bit rough for about……a week. After that week, things were good. It was a surprise to me and Tyler when we got Oreo and it was DEFINITELY a surprise to Jojo , who was a little upset with the change. When we put them to bed, one had to go into the bathroom and one had to do into the cage. One time, Jojo was trying to get out of the bathroom. We let him out and he walked right over to the cage, where Oreo was, and lifted up the sheet that was over the cage and hissed at Oreo. I was awake at that time, trying to go back to sleep because Jojo woke me up. I grabbed a water bottle and sprayed Jojo because I did not want a fight to start between them. After spraying Jojo, I put Jojo in a box then put a blanket over the box. Then I got back in my bed and went back to sleep. Now, Oreo and Jojo get along great and we are all happy. Now, they play together, sleep in the same place, and they share the same space. This has been going on for…..I'd say 7 months with no problems. Oreo is playful, loveable, silly, greedy, and fun. That's Oreo and how he became apart of our family.
Skye recently posted...Holiday Gift Ideas for Geek Girls (Or Guys)... and a giveaway!
Great job, Nishe', & thanks for sharing with us about Oreo. It is great that Jojo & Oreo get along well.

Weight Loss Challenge: Clean Your Fridge!
Posted by kwdserv on May 1, 2014 in Challenge | Comments Off on Weight Loss Challenge: Clean Your Fridge!
The more unhealthy the food you have in your fridge, the harder it is to make healthy decisions when you're hungry. This week your challenge is to go through your fridge and pantry and find one unhealthy item to throw away daily. If you can't bear to throw it away, give it away to someone as a gift — neighbors and co-workers love junk food!
After you've chosen something to throw away, spend some time thinking about what healthy item you can replace it with. The goal is to have as few unhealthy items in the house as possible so that it's less of a challenge to eat well.
Remember, to be successful think SUBSTITUTION, not deprivation. If your go-to is chips because of the salty crunch, substitute them with celery sticks and guacamole or hummus. This will satisfy the crunch and the salt (hopefully sea salt is used so you are getting a bit of potassium to balance out the sodium).
If you find yourself in a state of confusion because you do not have any other unhealthy items in your fridge or pantry…. DO A HAPPY DANCE! Instead, I encourage you to introduce a new veggie daily.
JOIN ME: POST the pics of the food or "food-like" item you are tossing or giving away and what you are replacing it with! Remember to tag @SolomaFitness and add #MayMiniChallenge.


Property investments have long been associated with wealth creation. In a recession, though, they can be risky for owners who need to sell.
Frans and Caroline Swaalf, management consultants in the Netherlands, have been enamored with South Florida since they were graduate students at the University of Miami in the 1990s.
The Swaalfs began investing in other properties. In 2011, they bought a small condo in an Art Deco building and doubled their money when they sold it six years later. They put that money into a larger condo in Miami that overlooked the water, and then looked for a buyer. But Frans Swaalf expects to make only 5 to 10 percent when the sale closes.
Several high-end property markets are softening, which presents a buying opportunity — or a selling crisis. New York is still in the midst of a boom for high-end properties. Kenneth Griffin, founder and chief executive of the hedge fund Citadel, paid a record $238 million in January for a penthouse apartment overlooking New York City's Central Park.
Allison Turk, a broker with EWM Realty in Miami who advised the Swaalfs, said that some neighborhoods, like Coconut Grove, are flourishing, but that buyers had to be more selective and sellers more pragmatic.
Paul Sullivan is a New York Times writer.

Tonnes Of Teasers For "Marvel Comics #1000" Out at the End of the Month (Spoilers)
by Rich Johnston
On Saturday, August 31, Marvel will officially celebrate its 80th Birthday. Marvel Comics #1000 will be published on Wednesday, August 28th in commemoration of the date. But I've had a sneaky peek ahead of the big day. There will be some spoilers below, but these will be more of the teasing variety.
Firstly, it's great. Really great. This could have been awful, but I love it. Across eighty years, each page tells a Marvel Comics story tied into a certain year and something that happened in that year – a Marvel comic or movie released, or a storyline published, or a character making a first – or last – appearance. So you get a mixture of an ongoing story told by Al Ewing and a page by celebrated creators about characters very important to them, tied into a specific time and place. An just as it is about the past, it is also about the future, focused on 2020 and beyond as much as it is 1939. If you liked the way narrative played out in both The History of The Marvel Universe, House Of X #2 and Marvels, this is made for you.
There are the deepest dives into continuity, far beyond the likelihood that 99% of readers will get all the references, but you should get the shape of them. You don't need to know Proust, or the differences between German and Greek philosophy to find Python funny. But it may encourage you to find more. So Bleeding Cool will give you a few heads up, nevertheless.
1. The Return Of The Masked Raider
Bleeding Cool already looked at the history of the Masked Raider or Masked Rider, and how that would lead to a new series for the character who predated Marvel Comics in prose and appeared in adapted form in Marvel Comics #1.
2. It Begins With A Flame
And there is lots of that original comic in Marvel Comics #1000. Marvel Comics – later Marvel Mystery Comics, was the first comic to use the name 'Marvel' that would one day name the company publishing it, and including the first appearances of the Human Torch, Ka-Zar and the Sub Mariner. And so Ewing with Steve Epting reprise the first time the Human Torch was shown to the Scientists Guild in Marvel Comics #1 in the first page, set in 1939. But how does this all join together?
3. The Very First X-Men
Page two, by Ewing and Patrick Zircher features The Ferret from Marvel Mystery Comics #4 in 1940 (shared with The Human Torch, Angel, Ka-Zar and Masked Raider) being visited by the Three Xs from Mystic Comics #1, published at the same time. Who also happen to be same people in the Scientists Guild.
4. That's Not All
And later in Marvel Comics #1000, named as Dr. Jerome Hamilton, Maris Morlak, Professor Wladyslav Shinski, and Carlo Zota, otherwise known as the Enclave… and you may more readily recall what – or who – they got up to. Three separate groups, all the same people. But what are they after?
5. The Eternity MacGuffin
We mentioned the Masked Raider. And The Ferret. Turns out their black mask was the same mask, based along the lineage. Al Ewing's stories mostly concentrate around the Eternity Mask throughout history. Real events, but also worn by the fictional. And worn by Marvel characters in medieval to modern times, including the Black Knight, Thunderer, Black Rider and more – the paucity of designs and printing definition in early comics is used as a strength here, with items and characters being reinterpreted as being the same one across companies and continuities. I reckon if Al Ewing would have had his way, it would have been worn by Zorro as well. And then catching up to the present and heading into the future…
6. You Can Go Back Again
Lots of people get to revisit what they once gave to the world, or pay homage to those no longer able to, and look for new takes.
Kieron Gillen and Doug Braithwaite revisit Loki for the year of the first Journey Into Mystery, with all the Lokis over the decades tempting each other. Whatever your favourite version he, or she, will be here.
Priest and Brian Stelfreeze from two Black Panther runs, get to criticise some of the superficial reactions to the Black Panther movie and the Wakanda Forever memes
Little Blackagar in Slumberland recreates the Inhumans via Winsor McCay by Jonathan Lethem, Everett Lethem, Desmond Lethem and Paul Hornschemeier.
The friendship of Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane is encapsulated from their storyteller Gerry Conway and Greg Land.
Roy Thomas with Rod Reis are recreating the moment of the creation of Wolverine – and all the hands that went into him.
Miracleman by Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham not interacting with Marvel Comics continuity – instead they are reading it. Similarly, Darth Vader's appearance by Charles Soule and Terry Dodson bears no correlation to the rest of the story – or rather, at least as much as Gail Simone with David Baldeon celebrating Deadpool's first appearance.
While Being Human creator Toby Whithouse and Alan Davis celebrate Dez Skinn, Richard Burton and David Lloyd's creation Night Raven seems to set up huge swatches of stories yet to be told – is there any chance they might?
Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw give a brand new take on one of Spider-Man's most famous powers. While Joe Quesada revisits Daredevil and Marvel Knights with Kevin Nowlan, Peter David and Adam Kubert revisit their final issue of Hulk, Chris Claremont and Steve Larocca return to their X-Men story via Sage, Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung on Young Avengers while J Scott Campbell on Mary Jane revisits – and dismisses – *that*cover,
Oh and JMS has himself regretting Sins Past.

Doesn't support 2.6 kernels, multi-core/CoreXL, IPSO 6 or Power-1 Appliances with CoreXL. All of which look like HFA dead-ends until R70 comes out.
R65.4 - Compilation of HFA_40, R65.2.100, Connectra R66, VSX Plugins and Messaging Security (which itself was part of HFA_30). Note plugins... these are a compatibility nightmare, and make migrations incredibly messy. I'd be terrified of any upgrade/downgrade/migrations that have this involved - the permutations are way too complex.
To me, R65.4 looks a lot like what happened at the end of the R55 cycle, with R55W/P etc diverging from the main codebase and confusing the heck out of everyone who assumed that newer=better/recommended. It's *very* unclear whether R65.4 is yet another path that will diverge as far as HFAs are concerned, but there's certainly not a lot of good direction from Check Point as to what all these releases mean, and what we as users and partners should be looking to deploy.
Endpoint Connect is the forthcoming Checkpoint unified client. From my understanding, it is some successor to Secureclient with many NAC / encryption features to provide a full "endpoint" security package.
Endpoint Connect has been available on Connectra for about a year now. It is a lighter-weight IPSec client with the ability to run an endpoint scan ala ICS/ESoD. The "Intent" is to focus development efforts here instead of SecureClient (With it's firewall/enforcement features being superseded by Secure Access (Integrity)).
Personally I like it better than SC. It seems faster. I have not figured out how to manage it on VPN-1 R65_HFA40 yet though.
Yes this is more like a "Feature Pack" than what we've been seeing as an HFA. Most (maybe all) the "add-ons" were available in special builds.
Yup you are right as far as I can tell. R70 FWIW is SPLAT 2.6.
AFAIK just the "new" features of the VoIP gateway will require a different license, but no there is no information in the field as of yet.
R65.3 and now R65.4 also is designed to fix some of the plug-in mess we got into early on. The idea from the beginning was for plug-ins to be released and then rolled up in a HFA like manor.
R65.4 is trying to pull in all the divergent code-bases so we don't end up with the R55/w/p/R56 mess just before R70 is released.
As for R65.4 is HFA40 for Management with the plug-in rollup. HFA50, etc will be supported on it.

A Strategic Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan was developed and shared with the campus community in August 2019, setting the framework for a multi-year effort focused on increasing the recruitment and retention of students and employees from underrepresented groups. Edinboro has a long-standing reputation for supporting students with physical disabilities and is widely known for its accessible campus, so we have a history of serving this underrepresented population. While we have made strides in recent years to further strengthen diversity and inclusivity on campus, we recognize that there is more work to be done.
Edinboro's newly established National Association of Black Journalists is leading the way for students of color from similar majors to join together and support each other. In process: The National Association of Black Accountants, the PASSHE system Health Professions Diversity Organization and The Latino Business League.

I'm just beginning to learn how to use SAGA 2.1.2 tools within QGIS 2.12.1 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer by working through exercises in Mastering QGIS by Menke et al. (https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/mastering-qgis). Chapter 7 introduces the SAGA raster calculator and "Clip Grid with Polygon" tool. In both cases we are to save the result as a .tiff file, but the only file type available in the "Save To" dialogue is .sdat.
Is there something wrong with my installation of SAGA (I've tried using both the stand alone QGIS Windows installer and the OsGeo installer), or am I missing something else? Mastering QGIS appears to have been written for an earlier version of SAGA, so the tool dialogues in the book don't quite match those in QGIS 2.12.
How can I save the output of these SAGA tools as .tiffs?
It seems that you are correct, SAGA tools in processing always output grids as SDAT format or a temporary file.
If you really need a TIFF file as a final output (you can use SDAT in other processing tools), I advice you use the temporary file option and then use save as... (Right-click the output layer) dialog to save it as GeoTiff.
Other option is to use another processing tool called "Translate (Convert format)". If you pretend chain the tool in some processing model, this will be the best way.

The pair is expected to break down from 200 MA, which will send the pair lower towards a major support line. U.S. President Donald Trump made his most extensive comment suggesting that Hong Kong's protest movement fate be tied to a trade deal between the United States and China. This was after China accused the United States of orchestrating the protest, including U.S. lawmaker Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. This statement by President Trump further complicates the negotiation between the two (2) largest economies in the world. After putting tariffs of 10% to $325 billion worth of Chinese goods, President Trump threatened to impose another 15% on the same amount of good, which totals to 25% tariffs on all Chinese exports to the United States. The current status of Hong Kong was created after its handover to China in 1997. Histogram and EMAs 13 and 21 was poised to go down.
USDSGD
The pair failed to breakout from a major resistance line, sending the pair lower towards a major support line. Strong economic headwinds and the U.S.-China trade tensions have not stopped Singapore from attracting an unexpectedly large amount of investment commitments. In just six (6) months, Singapore has attracted $8.1 billion in investment commitments in manufacturing and services. This is higher than the $5.3 billion worth of investment commitments it had drawn from the same period last year. This was partly due to Singapore's hosting of "Singapore Convention on Mediation". The convention was signed by 46 countries including the United States and China. On the U.S.-China trade dispute, Singapore encouraged the two (2) largest economies in the world to settle their disputes. Histogram and EMAs 13 and 21 was expected to further move lower in the following days.
EURDKK
The pair is seen to continue moving lower in the following days after it broke down from a major support line. U.S. President Donald Trump is playing fire in the European Union. He was supposed to visit the new Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen but abruptly cancelled his plan after the PM declined the possible talk on the acquisition of Greenland, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Greenland was strategic for the United States as it can be converted to a military base and protect mainland U.S. against a possible Russia invasion. Denmark also lay claims to the Arctic Region with Greenland. The Arctic region is a possible disputed territory in the future if ice melts at a faster pace, paving way for a new formed territory. On the other hand, this can affect the European Union as it was relying on the U.S. led NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) Alliance. Histogram and EMAs 13 and 21 will continue to move lower.
EURTRY
The pair is expected to further go up in the following days after the recent crossover between MAs 200 and 50 through which the pair broke out. Turkey is coming back to the European Union after Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu tells Brussels that difficulties with Turkey's accession to the 28-member state bloc should be remove in cooperation between the two (2) parties. This was after Turkey threatens to suspend EU migration deal due to lack of Visa-free travel to the European Union. Negotiation for Turkey's accession in the European Union started in 2005 but was partially suspended in the recent years following Turkey's decision to purchase Russia's S-400 missile defense system that will compromise the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) Alliance defense agreement, which most EU-member states are also members. Histogram and EMAs 13 and 21 will continue to go up.

NZ posts new annual migration record in March year
Thursday, 21 April 2016, 12:23 pm
Article: BusinessDeskThursday 21 April 2016 12:09 PM
By Tina Morrison
April 21 (BusinessDesk) - New Zealand set a new annual migration record for a 20th month in March, as more people moved across the Tasman from Australia.
New Zealand had net migration of 67,600 in the 12 months through March 31, Statistics New Zealand said.
Migrant arrivals rose 9 percent to 124,100 while departures slid 2 percent to 56,400. Net migration from Australia was a gain of 1,900, the highest since August 1991 and the sixth straight month of annual gains.
Record migration has helped underpin economic growth, with the economy expanded at a 2.3 percent annual pace in the fourth quarter of last year, boosting demand for housing, vehicles, services and retailing. Migration has continued at a stronger pace than Treasury and the Reserve Bank expected, keeping wage inflation low even as demand rises.
"Strong growth in the population as a result of net migration has been a key contributor to growth in spending and economic activity more generally, and has boosted the economy's productive capacity," Westpac Banking Corp senior economist Satish Ranchhod said in a note.
Still, Ranchhod noted that seasonally adjusted net migration slowed to 5,300 for the March month, from 6,000 in February. That's the lowest monthly increase since May 2015.
"Migration can be volatile on a month-to-month basis, so we're careful not to place too much weight on one month's data," Ranchhod said. "This could be the first sign that things are starting to turn."
Those on work visas jumped 12 percent to 38,620 in the year through March, while student visas climbed 8.7 percent to 27,704 and arrivals of New Zealand and Australian citizens gained 5.9 percent to 36,355. India remained the biggest source of student arrivals even as the annual tally slipped 4.1 percent to 9,815. It was followed by students from China, up 20 percent to 5,719, and students from the Philippines which increased 70 percent to 2,239.
Work visa arrivals were led by those from the UK, France, Germany and Australia.
The biggest influx was to Auckland, where migrant arrivals rose 10 percent to 52,443 in the March year.
Arrivals to Canterbury rose 5.4 percent to 12,864 while those headed to Wellington increased 13 percent to 9,194. Tourism continued to boom, with visitor arrivals rising 10 percent a record 3.26 million in the year through March.
"China's burgeoning middle class is boosting the pool of potential tourists," ASB Bank economist Kim Mundy said in a note. "Combined with increased numbers of holidaymakers from the US and Australia, tourism growth continues to grow strongly."
The increase in tourist numbers and international students has helped boost exports of services – which is now the strongest performing sector of the New Zealand economy, Mundy said.

Why the Mossad Assassinated Al-Qaeda Leader al-Masri
from Comments on: ANALYSIS: Why the Mossad Assassinated Al-Qaeda Leader al-Masri.
The Mossad did it again. After carrying out a daring night raid in a neighborhood of Tehran and stealing a large part of Iran's secret nuclear archive in January 2018, the Israeli spy agency in August of this year was again active on Iranian soil.
On August 7, Mossad agents belonging to the Kidon unit of the Israeli spy agency assassinated Abu Muhammad al-Masri, Al-Qaeda's second in command, and his daughter Maryam, the widow of Hamzah bin Laden, the son of Osama bin Laden, in Tehran.
The Mossad reportedly decided to take out al-Masri because he was plotting new terrorist attacks against Israeli or Jewish Diaspora targets.
The New York Times reported that the Mossad killed al-Masri at the behest of the US government, which had offered a reward of $10 million for information regarding his whereabouts.
This seems unlikely, however.
First of all, al-Masri was also wanted by Israel because his men tried to shoot down an Israeli Arkia Airlines plane that departed from Mombasa International Airport with 271 people on board in 2002.
The missiles narrowly missed the plane, which was then escorted by Israeli fighter jets to Ben Gurion Airport, where it landed safely.
Al-Masri was also behind the bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel in Mombasa killing three Israelis and 13 Kenyans, while wounding 80 other people who had just checked in.
In addition, Al-Qaeda was behind an attack on the El Ghriba synagogue in Tunisia in 2002, and tried to do the same with synagogues in Turkey and the United States later.
Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, furthermore, has called for terrorist attacks against Israeli targets after the Trump Administration recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights in 2019.
It is true that al-Masri was also responsible for two bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania on August 7, 1998, killing 224 people, including 12 Americans, while wounding 4,000 others. But US President Donald J. Trump would undoubtedly have announced the assassination of the Al-Qaeda leader, while the Mossad almost always keeps mum on its hits and operations.
The Mossad has a long track record of assassinations inside Iran and must have a strong presence in the Islamic Republic.
The Israeli spy agency reportedly killed at least five Iranian nuclear scientists between 2009 and 2012 in the same way al-Masri and his daughter were assassinated, namely by a hit team of two men on a motorcycle.
Secondly, Israel had an interest in leaking the information about al-Masri's assassination to The New York Times at this particularly moment because the incoming Biden Administration is planning to resume talks with Iran and wants to rejoin the JCPOA, the landmark 2015 nuclear deal between the Islamic Republic and six world powers, among them the United States, which at that time was under the administration of Barak Obama, of which Joe Biden was a prominent member.
The entire Israeli political establishment is opposed to new US engagement with Iran not only because of the fact that the Islamic Republic is trying to advance its nuclear program, as the IAEA, the UN nuclear watchdog, reported last week. Israel is also keen to maintain US pressure on Iran to curb the Islamic Republic's support of regional terrorist organizations.
Although Iran is denying that it had been sheltering the Al-Qaeda leader for the past 20 years, the fact is that it has given refuge to Al-Qaeda terrorists in the past following the September 11 attacks on the Twin Towers in New York in 2001.
Some pundits now point to the fact that Iran is a Shiite Muslim country and therefore they say it seems unlikely that the Islamic Republic was giving shelter to an Al-Qaeda leader because that organization is Sunni.
Iran, however, is also the main sponsor of Hamas, which is also a Sunni terrorist group. Clearly, Tehran is ready to work with any terrorist organization that can help it achieve its goal to expand the Islamic Revolution across the globe.
The timing of the revelation of the assassination of the Al-Qaeda leader by the Mossad after The New York Times,a paper affiliated with the Democratic Party, was tipped off could have a lot to do with an Israeli effort to cement relations with the incoming US Administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu apparently wanted to send a message to the incoming administration about the need to continue close cooperation between the US and Israel in the struggle against Iran and its many proxies, and not to start where the Obama Administration left off, namely trying to make the Islamic Republic a "normal nation".
The news about the Israeli assassination of the number two leader of Al Qaeda, furthermore, sends a new message to Iran that, like Netanyahu said, Israel knows what you are doing and when you are doing it and where you're doing it.

Tonight, with his second-place finish in the 50 free, 35-year-old Anthony Ervin became the oldest American male swimmer to make the Olympics in an individual event since 1904.
Ervin finished tonight's event just .01 behind Nathan Adrian, coming into the wall with 21.52.
This will mark Ervin's third Olympics. He won Olympic gold in the 50 free and Olympic silver in the 400 freestyle relay at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. He finished fifth at the 2012 London Olympics in the 50 free.
That time ranks him fifth-fastest in the world this year.
His time tonight was also only a tenth of a second off his all-time best, a 21.42 semifinal swim from the 2013 FINA World Championships in Barcelona, Spain. That swim makes him the 14th-fastest man in history. He went on to win the silver medal in that event.
Ervin also made the 2016 Rio team as a member of the 400 free relay, after finishing fourth in the 100 free on Thursday night with 48.54.
Let's hear it for THE OLDS!! Way to open our minds. A great accomplishment at any age, and such a cool guy! Bravo Anthony!
Alright, I'll ask: who WAS the swimmer older than Anthony Ervin back in 1904, Swimswam?
It's also been 16 years since Phelp's first Olympics. Ervin (19) and Phelps (15) were team mates in 2000.

\section*{Introduction}

The developement of on-demand individual deep impurities in silicon is motivated by their employment as a physical substrate for qubits \cite{pla2012single}, for emitting individual photons \cite{aharonovich2016solid}, to fabricate Hubbard-like quantum systems \cite{fratino2017signatures,baczewski2018multiscale}, and to engineer properties of nanometric-scale transistors \cite{shinada2014opportunity}. Electrically-controlled spin qubits in silicon have been reported so far at cryogenic temperature \cite{pla2012single, maurand2016cmos}, while optical control of silicon qubit is still lacking \cite{awschalom2013quantum}.
Highly-correlated electron states in defects such as NV centers in diamond \cite{dolde2013room,NVreview} and divacancies in SiC \cite{koehl2011room,christle2015isolated} can be exploited as room-temperature optically-controlled qubits, thanks to a deep donor state optically coupled to excited states in the band gap.
In silicon, the di-vacancy structure would be potentially interesting for engineering a similar spectrum, but creating such defect type
on demand in the bulk is currently unfeasible.
Conversely, exploiting Ge
atom implantation in silicon would offer the opportunity of
correlated and
controlled spatial positioning, thanks to
the tendency of Ge to
recombine with
vacancies.

Single-atom devices based on conventional doping elements such as phosphorous \cite{hamid2013electron, tan2009transport}, arsenic \cite{prati2014atomic, hori2012quantum} and boron \cite{khalafalla2007identification}, as well as other shallow-level dopants \cite{schenkel2006electrical, van2015single} are limited by their shallow impurity electronic ground state
($\sim 40-50$~meV from the conduction or the valence band edge), so they become fully ionized as soon as one raises the temperature above $\sim 15-20$~K.
Room-temperature transport across a disordered 1-dimensional array of P donors implanted in a silicon transistor channel has been demonstrated\cite{prati2016band}.
However, in order to secure bound electrons to an isolated donor at room temperature or to electrically manipulate spin states up to $5-10$~K,
it is crucial to rely on deep impurity states near the middle of the band gap.
Deep levels in the silicon bandgap can be generated by electron irradiation of silicon doped by As, P, and Sb atoms \cite{Watk64, Lars06} but the lack of position control and their low annealing temperature between 350 and 450~K make them unsuitable for microelectronic processes.

Isovalent impurities in silicon for accessing the high-temperature regime have been explored\cite{mori2014band,mori2015study}.
Germanium, when dissolved in a substitutional position, does not generate any useful localized state, being isovalent to silicon. A careful choice of the annealing temperature after
implantation around 750~K, \cite{Supr95} however, allows one to activate the defect forming deep energy states in the silicon band gap, associated to germanium-vacancy complexes (Ge$V_n$).

The localized levels of these Ge$V_n$ defects \cite{Supr95,Shul73} have been characterized in the 1970's by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) showing two energy states around $-0.53$~eV and $-0.28$~eV below the conduction-band minimum.
These energy levels are similar to those reported
for the
simple
silicon vacancy, that would be suitable to behave as deep donor state in terms of energy.
Nevertheless the vacancy location
is not controllable in the
process of device fabrication.
On the contrary, Ge ions can be implanted by single-ion
implantation technique with nm-scale precision.

The diffusion coefficient of Ge in silicon
is similar to that of Si in silicon,
namely
much lower than, e.g, that of P and As and other deep-level transition metal dopants (Au, Fe, Cu, Ni) \cite{Mehrer},
in particular at the low annealing temperature of 750~K.
The formation and activation of the Ge$V$
complexes is therefore ascribed to the mobility
of the vacancies, which recombine with the Ge ions.
The Ge atom therefore provides the spatial
control by pinning the position of the vacancy, which, in turn, provides the energy
level deep in the bandgap.
As the formation yield may be as low  as around 10\%,
similarly to the case of N$V$-centers and Si$V$
in diamond, the implantation of
a countable number of atoms by
single-ion implantation may achieve the desired
number of Ge$V$ defects per implantation site.
Quantum devices based on such properties may range
from room-temperature 2D Hubbard
systems to single-defect-based transistors.

Our work has been triggered by the availability of single-atom implantation techniques as developed by two of us.
Such techniques have already been used to deal with ions such as P\cite{jamieson2005controlled},
As\cite{prati2012anderson}, Bi\cite{weis2012electrical}, C\cite{tamura2014array},
Ge\cite{prati2015single}, and Er\cite{celebrano20171}, by implanting them one-by-one in a controlled way\cite{shinada2016deterministic}.
Because of the wide availability of Ge in
microelectronics processes
and its role in controlling the position of deep-level defects
\cite{prati2015single}, Ge represents a promising candidate
for the extension of single-atom technology to high temperature, with the advantage of a relatively straightforward integration with the standard fabrication technologies of conventional microelectronics.

We characterize here different Ge$V_n$ complexes in silicon, namely a substitutional Ge atom bound to one, two or three adjacent vacancies, and analyze, from a theoretical perspective, their local arrangement and electronic properties.
Previous theoretical works have already proven the tendency of Ge to cluster with vacancies to relax strain, and the resulting stability of Ge$V_n$ complexes\cite{Chen08,Chro09,Vanh10}.

The calculation of the electronic properties of the systems considered here cannot
exploit simple one-electron theories, such as the effective-mass theory used for
conventional donors, and requires
higher-level {\it ab-initio} calculations,
usually performed in the Density Functional (DFT) approach \cite{Overhof}.

In this context,
the theoretical description of shallow donors has to
manage the issue of the large extension of the defect states
that cannot be correctly described in
manageably small computational cells.
Differently, deep energy levels are expected to be localized around the defect with wavefunctions that decay in a range of a few atomic units.
In the latter cases
spurious delocalization effects in the theoretical description
can arise due to the approximate local or semi-local exchange
and correlation potential usually adopted in DFT.
These unphysical effects are
a consequence of the self-interaction error which can be corrected
by many-body treatments or high-level functionals.
These methods correct at the same time the localization of the wavefunctions and
the binding energies of the localized levels, by solving the
gap problem encountered in DFT that would require otherwise alternative
procedures to estimate the binding energies of defect states, as recently
shown for example by J.\ S.\ Smith {\it et al.}\cite{Smit17}
Specifically, here
we adopt a DFT approach based on a screening-dependent non-local exchange term
that corrects the self-interaction error inherent in local/semilocal approximations,
providing a reliable estimate of the silicon gap and of the energy position
of the defect states relative to the conduction-band minimum\cite{Sko14}.
This kind of hybrid functional exploits an analytical expression
for the exact exchange fraction, which is inversely proportional
to the macroscopic electronic dielectric constant of the material.
In this way the effective screening of the long-range tail of the
Coulomb potential is naturally accounted for in the {\it ab initio}
procedure, leading to excellent results
in reproducing the electronic
properties of nonmetallic systems\cite{Sko14,Gero15,Gero15b}.

With the experimental band-gap value excellently reproduced by the
adopted hybrid functional, the excited states in the gap, obtained here
in terms of charge transition levels (CTLs), are derived directly
from the eigenvalues of the neutral and excited system in the spirit
of Janak's theorem\cite{Jana78}.

\section*{Results and Discussion}

Figure~\ref{geometry} shows the relaxed atomic configuration around the defect
complexes considered here.
Relaxation from the ideal crystal geometry leads to quite small displacements, mainly involving atoms surrounding the vacancy which move towards the void. The largest displacement is shown by the Ge atom, as expected.
The tendency of Ge to aggregate to vacancy complexes is confirmed by the defect binding energies, reported in the Supplementary Information, which agree well with previous calculations\cite{Chro09}.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=1.0\columnwidth]{1.eps}
\caption{The relaxed geometries of the three analyzed complexes: Ge$V$, Ge$V_2$, Ge$V_3$.
Silicon atoms surrounding directly the vacancy are highlighted by a darker color.
The dots near these atoms indicate the unpaired electrons in the dangling bonds.
}
 \label{geometry}
\end{figure}

Focusing on the electronic properties, a substitutional Ge atom does not introduce any doping charge in the crystal: the number of unpaired electrons (black small dots in Fig.~\ref{geometry}) associated to any Ge$V_n$ defect complex is even, being the same of the corresponding $V_n$ cluster in silicon.
According to our simulations, the most stable spin configuration is a global $S=0$ state, although with a nonzero spin density appearing locally on the atoms surrounding the defect  and rapidly decaying away from it.

To identify the dominant type of defects one cannot trust a purely equilibrium stability analysis based on the binding energy and on mass-action analysis \cite{Kro56}, because of the complex kinetic effects that direct the Ge$V$ aggregation process, and the strong damage effects due to the Ge-implantation technique.
A theoretical prediction of the relative abundance of the different Ge$V_n$ defects would require to account for all such effects, and is beyond the scope of the present work.
On the other hand, the single-vacancy complex Ge$V$ is certainly stable, and has been identified in experimental studies as the likely source of the observed DLTS signal\cite{Supr95,Shul73}.
We hence postulate that the dominant defect type is indeed the Ge$V$ complex.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=0.8\columnwidth]{2.eps}
\caption{

The dashed line marks the Fermi level.
Gray areas correspond to the bulk silicon bands.

  \label{bands}
\end{figure}

In Ge$V$ two electrons from the dangling bonds
settle in a deep level within the valence band,
similar to the
$a_1$
(s-type) state of the bare Si vacancy\cite{Wat86}.
Further dangling-bond electrons progressively fill
higher-energy defect states, which appear inside the band gap.
Figure~\ref{bands}b reports the computed supercell band-structure along the $\Gamma$-X direction.
Majority and minority spin defect states are shown as red (solid) and blue (dot-dashed) lines. For comparison, we also show in Fig.~\ref{bands}a the results obtained by using the standard GGA functional\cite{PBE}.

The system hence exhibits eight localized states (four for each spin projection).
Globally, these states host the four electrons from the dangling bonds,
so that within the band gap only the two lowest defect states are occupied,
while the higher localized levels sit above the Fermi energy
(dashed horizontal line) and are hence empty in the ground-state configuration.
Importantly, the comparison between Fig.~\ref{bands}a and
Fig.~\ref{bands}b shows that using the hybrid functional,
besides solving the well-known gap-underestimation problem,
it corrects the energy position of the defect states relative
to the valence-band edge in a way that is not reproducible by a simple scissor operator.

As the single-electron Kohn-Sham levels are not representative
of the excited states related to the actual addition or removal
of electrons, we need to compute the appropriate
charge transition levels \cite{Frey14,Vand04} instead:
\begin{equation} \label{ctl:eq}
\epsilon(q|q')=\frac{E_{{\rm f},q'}-E_{{\rm f},q}}{(q-q')}-E_{\rm CBm}
\,.
\end{equation}
Here $E_{{\rm f},q_i}$ is the formation energy
of the defect in the charge state $q_i$ and
$E_{\rm CBm}$ the conduction band minimum.
The expression \eqref{ctl:eq} includes the total energy
of the involved charged defects, and would therefore
require a correction to eliminate the spurious electrostatic
interaction between the periodic replica of the charged defect, as was proposed in the literature\cite{Lany08,Mako95,Castle06}.
Moreover this total energy may be ill-defined because
of the interaction with the balancing background of charge
which is introduced in the present computational approach
to preserve the global system neutrality.
In order to overcome such an issue we use
Janak's theorem \cite{Jana78} in the Slater approximation,
which allows one to estimate the excitation energy
due to the addition/removal of electrons to/from a defect
state as the mean value of the eigenvalue relative to the
first unoccupied/last occupied energy level before and after the excitation:
\begin{equation}\label{janak:eq}
\frac{E_{{\rm f},q'}-E_{{\rm f},q}}{(q-q')}
=
\frac{(\epsilon_{N+1}-\epsilon_{N})}{2(q-q')}
\end{equation}
where the eigenvalue are referred to the conduction band.

Here we consider the ``thermodynamic'' charge transition
levels, i.e., we account for the geometrical relaxation
of the system besides the electronic one, at the new charge state.
This choice is motivated by the long timescale of electron motions in these systems, with respect to the typical structural relaxation timescale.
For an overview of the atomic displacements induced by charge transitions,
and for the value of the ``adiabatic'' charge transition levels
(i.e., computed without structural relaxation in the charged state),
see the Supplementary Information.

\end{figure}

Figure~\ref{CTL} reports the computed charge transition
levels for the three defect states analyzed here,
in comparison with the literature values for
conventional dopants and the single vacancy\cite{Jaga81,Luk03,Agga65}.
The excited states corresponding to the D$^{0}$/D$^{-}$ and D$^{-}$/D$^{2-}$ charge transitions of the defect are marked by thin and thick lines, respectively.

While P and As ions are known to produce shallow levels,
whose energy is so close to the conduction band that
these defects are fully ionized at room temperature
(the $k_BT_r$ energy is marked by a red line in Fig.~\ref{CTL}),
a single vacancy in silicon gives rise to deep levels
that would allow single-electron transport at high temperature.
Unfortunately vacancies in silicon are hard to handle
and control from an experimental point of view.
We find that Ge$V_n$ complexes, easier to control
experimentally, display excited states deep in energy.
In particular those of Ge$V$ are similar to those of the single vacancy.

For instance, similarly to previous reports on P donor at cryogenic temperature, one could control the charge state of one Ge$V$ defect at room temperature which in turn electrostatically controls a nanometric size room temperature single electron transistor. This can be done by placing the donor defect in the proximity of the channel and by controlling it by means of a side gate \cite{mazzeo2012charge} or by photonic processes \cite{moraru2011atom}.

Our calculated thermodynamic charge transition levels for this defect,
equal to $-0.51$ and $-0.35$~eV for the transition
from D$^{0}$ to D$^{-}$ and from D$^{-}$ to D$^{2-}$,
are in good agreement with the measured DLTS
levels observed after Ge implantation at $-0.53$ eV and $-0.28$ eV respectively,
suggesting that this defect is
indeed
present in the Ge implanted sample\cite{Supr95}.
The deviation from experimental observations by DLTS
at $-0.28$~eV \cite{Supr95,Shul73,Budt98} could be
explained by a partial occupation and a consequent
transient non-stationary condition
(see Fig. S.2 in the Supplementary Information).
For the sake of completeness, the experimental value
is also compatible with the Ge$V_2$ D$^0/$D$^-$ transition.
Indeed, as indicated in Fig.~\ref{CTL}, larger Gs$V_{n\geq 2}$
defects exhibit shallower levels, with only the D$^{0}/$D$^{-}$
charge excitation sufficiently deep to ensure
the trapping of electrons at room temperature.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=0.8\columnwidth]{4.eps}
\caption{\label{WF}

The density for 2 bound electrons differs from that of 1 electron by far more than a pure factor 2: it takes full (electronic and structural) relaxation into account, in particular as induced by the electron-electron Coulomb repulsion.
The side of the simulation cell (black square) is 1.64 nm.
}
\end{figure}

Figure~\ref{WF} displays the charge density of the first
unoccupied electronic state in the gap,
when filled by one (a) and two (b) electrons, respectively.
Notably, Fig.~\ref{WF}a corresponds also to the spin density of the D$^{-}$ charge state.
Differently, the spin density for the closed-shell D$^{2-}$ charge state is zero.
This picture evidences the localization of the additional
electrons on the defect, being the charge density substantially
decayed outside a radius of 0.5~nm away from the defect.
This is confirmed also by the radial decay of the excited-state wavefunction, whose
spherical average we report in Figure~\ref{Bohr}.
This figure also shows a fit of the envelop
of the wavefunction with an exponential function
\begin{equation} \label{fit:eq}
|\psi(r)|^2 \simeq A*\exp(-2 r/a^*)
\,.
\end{equation}
For the Ge$V$ complex we obtain an effective decay length
$a^* \simeq 0.46$~nm, a value much
smaller than
for the shallow states of conventional dopant atoms.
This greater localization
is expected for deep energy levels, in which electrons
are retained much closer to the defect center.

}
\end{figure}

In summary, a Ge$V_n$ defect in silicon behaves as an isovalent donor atom, carrying a deep empty state in the silicon band gap.
For the purpose of its employment for room-temperature single-atom nanoeletronics,
it combines the deep levels of the $V$ vacancy with the spatial control possible by single-ion
implantation,
thanks to the tendency of Ge and the vacancy $V$ to form a complex
at an annealing temperature around 750~K.

Because of the relatively low annealing temperature required to activate the Ge$V_n$ complexes, such process step would be necessarily performed after standard annealing of standard diffusion of contacts and charge reservoirs which involves high temperature.

The adoption of screened exchange hybrid functionals was crucial for simulating
Ge$V_n$ complexes in silicon, as this method
allowed us to determine reliably not only the local
geometry of such defects, but also their electronic properties.
While the ground state lies in the valence band, the
relevant donor state of the Ge$V$ has energy $-0.51$~eV,
in good accord with experiments.
At such energy the defect has a transition from
neutral D$^0$ to negative D$^-$ charge state.
We calculate the charge transition level of the D$^-$/D$^{2-}$
states at $-0.35$~eV in the thermodynamic limit.
By comparison, our calculations for the
charge transition levels of the
Ge$V_2$ and the Ge$V_3$
complexes yield corresponding energies which are
smaller
by a factor $\sim 2$ (see Figure~\ref{CTL}).

The decay length $a^*_0=0.45$~nm of the Ge$V^-$
wavefunction indicates that a significant
overlap of such defect with other similar defects or
with the contacting electrodes in a device require nm-scale
spacing, which is now accessible by the current
semiconductor technology node at 7~nm and below.
The main conclusion of the present work is that Ge$V$
is a valid candidate to achieve single-atom nanoelectronics
at noncryogenic temperature, thanks to its deep excited
state in the band gap, which can keep an electron trapped even at room temperature.

\section*{Methods}

We carried out the first-principles calculations in an
all-electron DFT formalism based on linear combination
of atomic orbitals and a Gaussian-type basis set,
as implemented in the CRYSTAL14 code \cite{CRY14}.
The electronic exchange and correlation was included via a hybrid functional:
\begin{equation}
\label{hyb}
v_{\rm XC}(\mathbf r, \mathbf {r'}) = \alpha v_{\rm X}^{\rm EX}(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'})+(1-\alpha)v_{\rm X}^{\rm GGA}(\mathbf{r})+v_{\rm C}^{\rm GGA}(\mathbf{r}),
\end{equation}
in which the fraction $\alpha$ of non-local exchange
is given by the inverse of the static dielectric constant\cite{Alka11,Sko14}.

Such relation can be proved in the framework of the many-body
perturbation theory, considering the Coulomb-hole-plus-screened-exchange
approximation (COHSEX) for the GW self energy \cite{Hedi65}
in the static limit ($\omega=0$):
\begin{equation}
\Sigma_{\rm GW}(\mathbf r, \mathbf {r'},0) =
\Sigma_{\rm COH}(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'})+\Sigma_{\rm SEX}(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'}),
\end{equation}
where the local $\Sigma_{\rm COH}(\bf{r},\bf{r'})$ term accounts
for the interaction between the electron and the static
polarization cloud.
The non-local $\Sigma_{\rm SEX}(\bf{r},\bf{r'})$
is the static screened exchange:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{COH}
\Sigma_{\rm COH}(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'})&=&
-\frac 12 \delta(\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'})[v(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'})-W(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'})],
\\
\label{SEX}
\Sigma_{\rm SEX}(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'})&=&
-\sum\limits_{i=1}^{N_{\rm occ}}\phi(\mathbf{r})\phi^*(\mathbf{r'})W(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'}).
\end{eqnarray}

The screened Coulomb potential
\begin{equation}
\label{W}
W(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'}) = \int \mathbf{dr''} \frac{v(\mathbf{r''},\mathbf{r'})}{\epsilon(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'})}
\end{equation}
in Eq.~\eqref{COH} and \eqref{SEX}
can be evaluated by neglecting the microscopic
component of the dielectric screening and considering
the macroscopic dielectric function
$\epsilon_\infty$ instead of the microscopic one.

With this choice the COH and SEX contributions
to the self energy correspond to the local and
non-local exchange contributions in equation
\eqref{hyb} and $\alpha=1/\epsilon_\infty$.

Such an expression for $\alpha$
was proved to be suitable to reproduce the electronic gaps
of oxides and semiconductors, and the excited states
therein, with uncommon accuracy\cite{Gero15,Gero15b}.
Moreover, by limiting the unphysical wavefunction
delocalization mainly attributable to self-interaction effects
plaguing local exchange-correlation potential approximations,
the screened exchange hybrid potential allows us
to describe the spatial decay of the localized defect
wavefunctions accurately.
Within the present scheme, one gains the additional
practical advantage of a reduced need for huge simulation
supercells, usually adopted in order to limit the
mutual interaction among periodic defect replicas\cite{Smit17}.

We considered here one defect in a $3 \times 3 \times 3$
simple cubic silicon supercell, i.e., a cubic cell
with a theoretical
lattice constant $a=5.46$~\AA~containing
216 Si atoms in absence of vacancies.
All Ge$V_n$ systems have been structurally relaxed,
until the maximum and the root mean square of the
residual forces reduced to 1.4 and 0.9~pN, respectively.
We used a Monkhorst-Pack grid of $4\times4\times4$
$k$-points and the basis set
for Si and Ge proposed by Towler\cite{Towler}.
