With flight attendants that could easily be mistaken for catalogue models, it's likely for Qatar Airways passengers to find themselves fixated on their airborne hostesses—we know, because during a recent journey on the airline, we couldn't stop staring! Whether embarking on a red-eye or the first flight out to your destination of choice, these beauties are perfectly preened with sleek updos, rosy cheeks, and bold, Bordeaux lips to match their wine-colored ensembles.
One attendant proudly whipped out this black bullet, which concealed the true red shade that popped against her porcelain complexion. Its long-lasting formula claims to last up to eight hours and after a 13-hour flight with this beauty, consider us witnesses of its mighty staying power.
Another attendant fished for her pink-red shade by Austrian brand, P2. The rich hue has a glossy finish perfect for anyone looking for a plumping effect.
The two shared that Qatar Airways does require the flight attendants to choose within a range of berry-toned lip colors. This allows for some flexibility in terms of selecting the undertones and finishes that are most flattering for their skin tones and personal preferences. And while these final picks might be slightly different shades, what the two lipsticks have in common is their long-lasting formulas. Because sometimes turbulence just doesn't allow for frequent touch-ups!
I'm going to be starring at my flight attendants now!!! A bright lip goes a long way for a hard day at work! Power of lipstick!!


It's late October so it's time for the spooky and atmospheric 2018 Dark Ambien(t). We began with a descent into the shadowy underworld of dark ambient, we had a rain-themed set, a block of music found while trawling through the dark ambient caverns of Bandcamp, made a trip into the haunted house where dark ambient and death industrial meet, a set of ritualistic dark ambient for the midnight block, and we closed with a set spacey dark ambient. We recommend turning out the lights out and listening through headphones, but that's your call.
Remember: if you enjoy the music on this show, support the artists who make it.


Yesterday the full IECAC committee met to hear the commercial and residential sub-committees recommendations. Many items were approved with 4 items being referred back to the appropriate sub-committees. Here is a recap of that 2 1/2 hour meeting, what passed, what is still being debated, a few new objections, & a big you have to be kidding me (can you say 62.2.13).
Commercial was first up on the docket and had very few changes. The biggest fight which ended up getting a return to sender involved roofing insulation on existing buildings. This composed of 5 different changes which will need to be reviewed and hammered out. Most notably this centers around C402.2 exceptions which has hooks into a few other sections like C503.1.
The two biggest parties in this debate are the NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association) and PIMA (Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association). The Commercial group will be meeting within the next week or two as there is some urgency to get this done as they need to have there full recommendations to the CDB by May per the statue.
The second modification to the table was to require full height insulation in basements based on the 2009 IECC (R10/13) as compared to the Illinois 2012 version which only required the top 4′ to be insulated to R15. A secondary issue revolves around adding wording that states that a vapor barrier maybe used.
The HBAI countered that it would take 42 years to achieve payback using HERS modeling. Needless to say Darren Meyers who is not a fan of RESNET countered with a few good arguments on why it should be full height (like comfort, eliminating moisture issues, the favorite fiberglass material used doesn't come in R15) but got blasted for simply using a BTU loss calculator and a 1969 report. Needless to say this one got returned for more discussion.
My .02 – full height is best especially on the outside where the vapor barrier belongs – placing a vapor barrier or wrapped fiberglass inside the structure is just asking for issues especially as the concrete needs time to cure.
R402.4.4 Rooms containing fuel burning appliances… the appliance and combustion air opening shall be located outside the building thermal envelope or enclosed in a room, isolated from inside the thermal envelope (i.e. use direct vented appliances) was stricken as it was deemed as to onerous to builders.
#2 – this would equate to an increased burden on code officials and builders to understand… hmmm, compared to builders, architects, and many code officials still scratching there heads on how properly create or read a ResCheck or similar type report?
I really do love #3 above as one of the changes that initially passed was changing the codes & tables to utilize 62.2.13 which increases the ventilation requirements (an additional 2 CFM per 100 SF). This was reversed at the end as one persons name who was used for pushing this through felt misquoted & urged for it to be "reviewed to make sure we get it right." Can I say that is a good thing & they should have left the original language as it was written utilizing 62.2.10. For more on this check out the Great Ventilation Debate where the ASHRAE group had to admit that this was not a good standard & needs more work.


I'm trying to establish who the parents are for Haniel Davies from Glyn Ceiriog. In the 1841 census he is at Pandy Uchaf with his parents Edward Davies and Elizabeth Roberts, and other siblings. However, according to the Llangollen Advertiser he died on the 10th January 1892 at the age of 64. This puts his birth in 1827 (probably). Edward and Elizabeth got married on the 7th April 1828 at which time Edward was a widower. This suggests that Haniel was probably Edward's son by his previous marriage. Unfortunately I can't find any baptism record for Haniel and the only census record I can find for him is 1841 (which may be due to his slightly uncommon name and poor transcriptions).
I think I may know who his mother is, but I'd be interested if anyone has any further insight into Haniel and might come to the same conclusion as I have.
RG12 Piece 4638 Folio 98 Page 18, Garth, Llansaintffraid Glyn Ceiriog.
Is this the family in 1871 - again minus Haniel?
Thanks for all the feedback. Yes I did spot the census records minus Haniel. He was a road worker so I expect he was away from home at the time of the census, although I'm not sure how that would be captured. You'd think he'd appear as a lodger somewhere but I can't find him anywhere.
In any case, that doesn't really help me get closer to identifying his mother. I think I have a clue but I'm still working on that.
In the 1841 census he is at Pandy Uchaf with his parents Edward Davies and Elizabeth Roberts, and other siblings. Edward and Elizabeth got married on the 7th April 1828 at which time Edward was a widower.
I've looked at all my non-c records for Denbighshire and the online non-c ones for other neighbouring counties but can find no trace of a baptism. Have you got any baptisms for the other children of Edward and Elizabeth?
Also, note that Elizabeth was Elizabeth Edwards not Roberts . Witnesses of the marriage were Benjamin Davies and Edward Edwards .
Yes of course - I mistyped. It was Elizabeth Edwards.
So I did find an early marriage record for an Edward Davies, for the 6th June 1808, to a Mary Hughes. I'm wondering whether this is the same Edward Davies. Also given the apparent birth of Haniel in 1827 relatively close to Edward's second marriage, whether Mary died in childbirth to Haniel. It's a very long shot, but if I'm right, it would explain a fairly strong DNA match between myself (I think Mary may well be the sister to my 3g-grandmother Elizabeth Hughes) and a direct descendant of Haniel Davies.

Chinese and Taiwanese mobile companies look for channel partners in India
By Srabani Sen
About 60 exhibitors from various fields of telecom and communications, representing countries like China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and India at the 6th CMAI India International Communications Fair (ICOMM 2011) in New Delhi, were quite upbeat about the fast growing telecom market in India.
India has become the fastest growing telecom market in the world today, and is the second largest in the number of subscribers. With the launch of 3G technology in the country, India adds about 18-20 million subscribers per month. So there is a good demand for anything to do with mobile phones, mobile accessories, mobile components, value added services, e-commerce, mobile governance, machinery for testing and manufacturing mobile phones, etc.
The B2B event—ICOMM 2011—had resulted in contracts worth US$ 65 million, and five companies committed to start manufacturing facilities in India for handsets and tablets with an approximate investment of US$ 250 million. The event also witnessed the launch of the Indo-Global Digital Devices Association, a joint mission of companies from India, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan for the promotion of mobile, tablet and digital devices in India. The association will help in facilitating FDI investments and strategic tie-ups in the Indian market.
While many of the Chinese and Taiwanese companies at the event were on the look out for channel partners in India, the Indian players had expressed their desire to tie up with mobile phone and smartphone OEMs and expand their business overseas as well. "Chinese manufacturers are developing mobile phone products specifically for Indian buyers in a bid to tap the country's booming market," said David, sales director, Overseas Sales Department, Marketing Centre, Shenzhen Migo Telecom Technology Co Ltd.
Chandresh Sharma, manager, R&D, Terminals, MSAI, agreeds with this view. "India is an important market for global mobile device manufacturers with aspirations to grow their global market share," he stated. MSAI is the premier force behind developing standards in the Indian mobile industry, which it does by studying global practices and customising them for specific Indian needs. These standards are created and implemented to enhance the value chain which the mobile industry provides to the Indian consumers.
On the other hand, after grabbing a considerable chunk of the market from global mobile giants like Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson, Indian handset players are now focusing on foreign shores to expand their reach. Indian brands like Karbonn Mobiles, Micromax and Intex are fast penetrating into markets in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, West Asia and Nepal. "Maxx Mobile has entered the Dubai and Bangladesh markets and is doing quite well," said Sandeep Tomar, zonal manager, Sales, Maxx Mobile.
Sensing the huge potential of the Indian market, many new domestic brands are entering the market, such as Josh Mobiles, which was launched pan-India in 2010. "The Josh brand is growing in leaps and bounds. With our exhaustive R&D, we have successfully generated innovative technologies and are all set to revolutionise the telecom consumer space," said a Josh Mobiles representative at the event.

ABOUT GOLD RALLY SLOTS
Launched back in 2004, Gold Rally has remained one of Playtech's most popular video slots up to date, and it is quite probably the best three reel game you will have ever played. Gold Rally only resembles those old-style slot machines, but it is much more similar to the contemporary games, seeing as how it contains eight paylines and numerous special features.
The storyline follows three seasoned gold miners on their latest attempt to dig up enough gold to retire from what is an incredibly difficult job. At the same time, the players will be on the quest of their own to find a way to life-changing payouts that can be won by activating Dynamite Bonus or high-value progressive jackpot.
HOW TO PLAY GOLD RALLY
Slot players will not have too many options when it comes to selecting the size of their wager since coin value is fixed at $2. They only get to choose the number of paylines to be active, with bet one and bet max buttons used to activate between 1 and 8 paylines. Bear in mind that the progressive jackpot can be won only when maximum eight lines are active.
Three matching icons on an active payline are required for a payout, with only horseshoe symbols paying out even when one or two of these appear on a payline. Meanwhile, Gold Scale Scatter is the only icon here that pays regardless of its position on the reels. Five or more of these anywhere will award Scatter Pays.
Three reel video slots rarely have a lot to offer in this particular department, but Gold Rally is clearly an exception to the rule. Even with the progressive jackpot aside, the game houses more than enough special perks and benefits that include Dynamite Bonus and Scatter Pays.
Dynamite symbols appearing in all four corners of the game screen trigger the Dynamite Bonus. Players are then required to mine for gold and can win a good selection of instant credit prizes based on their choices.
Scatter is depicted as a Gold Scale and it is by far the most desirable icon on the game screen. Five, six, seven and eight Scatters positioned anywhere award an instant prize of 5, 10, 50 and 200 credits respectively.
Gold Rally is linked to a progressive jackpot that starts at $75,000 and tends to pay out at least a couple hundred thousands, with 2% of each wager going towards the jackpot fund. The top prize is awarded when nine Gold Scale symbols are scattered on the reels, while maximum 8 paylines are active. If the said combination occurs at less than maximum bet, the player receives 5,000 coins.
GOLD RALLY ON MOBILE
This was one of Playtech's first high-profile games to appear on mobile, with the game available on tablet and smartphone since 2009. Simple graphics and easy game play ensure that the slot looks great on smaller screens, with all those special features loading quickly and without any glitches.
With coin value fixed at $2, Gold Rally is unlikely to appeal to casual gamers, but high rollers and those with large bankrolls will thoroughly enjoy impressive payouts in the main game as well as an opportunity to trigger the Dynamite Bonus and progressive jackpot which seeds at $75,000.

March 22: One of the last local Luiseno indigenous peoples, and an advocate for the San Luis Rey Luiseno Band of Indians, Louise Foussat was an amazing community educator. She visited many schools to educate other about indigenous people and taught related courses at Palomar College. The Oceanside Unified School District honored Loussat by naming a school after her---the Louise Foussat Elementary School---vindication for Loussat's inability to attend local schools because of her American Indian heritage. August 25th is Louise Foussat Day!

Bank Pleads Guilty to Tax Evasion Scheme
Offshore Account Update
Posted on February 27, 2015 | Share
Bank Leumi is an Israeli-based international bank with subsidiaries in seven countries, including Switzerland. Bank Leumi was under investigation by the Department of Justice and has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement that was recently filed in a California court.
The deferred prosecution deal arose after Bank Leumi was accused of a decade-long effort to help U.S. citizens evade tax obligations. It is the first deal of its kind to be entered into by an Israeli bank.
This case is one more in a long list of "wins" that the Justice Department has had in recent years. The Department of Justice is aggressively investigating banks and investors and is taking legal action for tax evasion schemes. Banks are responding by pleading guilty and turning over information about U.S. account holders who may subsequently find themselves facing criminal and civil actions by the Internal Revenue Service.
If you have money or accounts offshore that you have not declared to the IRS, you need to understand that you are at risk of getting into serious legal trouble. Now is the time to call a New Jersey tax law firm to learn about your options before you are under investigation. If the IRS is already coming after you, you need qualified legal help right away.
Bank Leumi Pays Fines & Provides Information on Investors
Bank Leumi has admitted to helping U.S. investors defraud the U.S. government over a 10-year period. The financial institution reportedly assisted taxpayers in preparing false tax returns and providing them to the IRS.
The bank also did things like holding mail for account holders and making collateralized loans based on the value of offshore accounts so U.S. account holders could keep their foreign funds hidden while leveraging their money in the U.S. Bank accounts were kept under numbers or assumed names in order to try to keep those accounts secret from the Internal Revenue Service.
For its participation in these and other tax evasion schemes, Bank Leumi will pay the government $270 million in penalties. There are multiple subsidiary banks involved in the deferred prosecution agreement, including a Swiss branch called Leumi Private Bank. A total of $157 million of the money that is being paid to the U.S. government is assessed as part of the Department of Justice's Swiss bank program that lets Swiss banks avoid criminal prosecution in exchange for large fines.
The Swiss bank program requires the bank to turn over identifying information on U.S. investors. Bank Leumi Group will provide the Department of Justice with details on more than 1,500 U.S. account holders and has also agreed to cooperate with future investigations.
Once investors are under investigation by the government, they generally lose the opportunity to take advantage of voluntary disclosure programs. If you are being investigated or worry about being investigated in the future, you need to speak with NJ tax attorney Kevin Thorn at the Thorn Law Group as soon as possible about representing you.

Are you interested in this mug swap? Well basically I will be sending a fellow blogger a mug.... So they can have a nice big mug of coffee... Or TEA! This is a great opportunity to meet other bloggers, but also a great way to get MAIL!!! I love receiving actual mail that isn't junk or bills! Don't you?
If you would like to join in the fun, do it quick as the swap closes at the close of April! Go visit Suzel Says for more info! Or just click the cute little blog button below!
I cant wait to "meet" who i will be exchanging mugs with!
**** UPDATE: To see the mug i received from the lovely Jenn at Sunnier Side of Sass please go HERE!


"I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing" remarked legendary artist Vincent Van Gogh.
Ghanaian-born artist Enam Bosokah has now taken the delightful art form by the scruff of the neck and raised it to a whole new level of exquisiteness.
"A lot of artists avoid pens because of the irreversibility (i.e., the inability to erase), but I believe it is one of the easier tools to work with", says Enam.
Eyeing from a distance, the images look more like black and white pictures. A closer glance, however, reveals intense use of creative techniques such as cross-hatching and stippling.
Unlike most artists, Enam does not require a studio.
Enam says that he wants to be able to create anytime and anywhere–that is why he just uses pen and paper, while sitting on his bed and drawing.
There is no name for the style of drawing that Enam does. "I have not named my style as I will always change it, I didn't want to keep to one confinement. It's a freestyle." says the evolving genius.
Further segregating himself from the crowd of commercial art, Enam has decided not sell his art as of now. He wants to build a collection first.
On his current artistic experience, Enam remarks, "I haven't had an exhibition where people can see my work and interact with me. When I get them together and exhibit, I can tell a story to my audience".
To earn his bread-and-butter, Enam accepts custom orders from fans of his art.
Enam has gained much popularity by depicting prominent African personalities in a stunningly realistic fashion.
Most African painters shy away from "hyperrealism" and "photorealism", which is the what exemplifies Enam's paintings as incredibly unique.

Work has begun on writing a programme and making materials for a series of online courses that anybody can take to learn the TCE. In the last year I have made a bit of online content and used Patreon as a means of communicating with pupils willing to subscribe to the service. I've found, however, that this is not an effective way to people to learn and so I'm moving on. Current plans have the programme split into four courses, each of which contains a series of lessons, videos, and practice materials. There will also be a forum for students to discuss the course material, share their ideas and hopefully grow a bit of a community. More news to follow once things are up and rolling!

Rich has been giving lessons about the Tongue Controlled Embouchure over Skype and everything is going great! After only a couple sessions pupils report development in their abilities and have a clear path of what to practise in order to meet their goals.
Because learning the TCE is now a clearly structured course of learning material, coupled with logical explanations of how to get the best results from your playing, you too could notice vast improvements in your playing by taking some lessons over Skype.
Not sure about the Tongue Controlled Embouchure? Get in touch and ask some questions! Sometimes just being more knowledgeable about a subject can help you to make better decisions without dramatic changes to your technique or style.

TCE Power Training Book Out Now!
A couple weeks ago Robert J. (Bahb) Civiletti and Niranjan (Nini) Wijewickrema published a new book about the Tongue Controlled Embouchure. It is packed full of historical information about playing with the tongue between the teeth as well as 170 pages of exercises and drills to build and maintain a virtuoso embouchure. Below you can read my review of that book, which is published on Bahb's website (http://tce-studio.com). The new book can be bought on that website for only $65.
"Finally a book that deeply explains (with citations) the historical narrative and modern-day relevance of the tongue controlled embouchure! All of that coupled with exercises that provide a true brass-player's workout whilst teaching you to play correctly and develop awareness of your chops – this book is a game-changer in understanding how to become a proper virtuoso musician. There is no nonsense in this approach to playing; no time wasted on gimmicks or bravado strength building; just sensible development of the key aspects of embouchure control and real power.I have had this book for two weeks and the exercises have already added another level to my development. All aspects of the TCE are combined into efficient tools that train your embouchure and easily show any weaknesses.

\section{Introduction}
A direct consequence of the discreteness of the electron charge is the presence of time-dependent fluctuations of the electronic current, called shot-noise. In the tunnelling limit, the power spectral density of the shot-noise is given by $S_{I} = 2q|I|F$, were $q$ is the charge of the tunnelling entity, $I$ the average current and $F$ the Fano factor that encodes correlation effects (see \cite{blanter_pr_2000} for a review of the theory and application of shot-noise measuments in mesoscopic systems). Particularly suited for mesoscopic systems, shot-noise has been a powerful tool in the study of electron-electron correlations in e.g. Kondo systems \cite{meir_prl_2002, delattre_naturephysics_2009, yamauchi_prl_2011, ferrier_naturephysics_2016}, Coulomb blockade scenarios \cite{cleland_prl_1990, altimiras_prl_2014}, and has been used to reveal fractional charges in the fractional quantum hall regime \cite{depicciotto_nature_1997, bid_prl_2009}, as well as doubling of the charge transferred for Andreev tunnelling \cite{jehl_nature_2000, ronan_pnas_2016}. The spatial resolution of these experiments is typically determined by the width of the contact leads to the sample and therefore ranges from tens of nanometers to several microns. This makes it impossible to study single impurities in a host material, for instance single atom Kondo physics, or correlation effects at impurities in doped Mott insulators such as the high-Tc cuprates. Previous efforts have shown the feasibility to increase the spatial resolution of shot-noise detection by using a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) \cite{birk_prl_1995, kemiktarak_nature_2007, herz_nanoscale_2013, burtzlaff_prl_2015}, allowing for the study of junctions formed with nanometer sized metallic particles \cite{birk_prl_1995}. This is because the shot-noise is a current noise and will consequentially have the same atomically resolved resolution as the tunnelling current in an STM. Most of these approaches relied on relatively high tunnelling currents \cite{kemiktarak_nature_2007, herz_nanoscale_2013, burtzlaff_prl_2015}, which due to the high local electric fields result in unstable junctions with many (weakly Van der Waals bound) correlated electron systems.

Here we demonstrate our ability to measure shot-noise at the atomic scale at low currents ($<$\thinspace1\thinspace nA) and high junction resistances ($>$\thinspace10\thinspace M$\Omega$) simultaneously with DC tunnelling spectroscopy. We achieve this by combining a home-built low temperature scanning tunnelling microscope with an LC$_{\text{cable}}$ resonant circuit, and a cryogenic amplifier based on a high electron mobility transitor (HEMT) \cite{dong_apl_2014}. First, we describe the circuit in detail and present shot-noise measurements on a gold surface, which serves as a calibration of the circuit. We then show the sensitivity of shot-noise to the electron temperature and our ability to measure differential conductance at MHz modulation frequencies. We illustrate the capabilities of our atomic scale shot-noise microscope by simultaneously measuring the atomically resolved differential conductance and shot-noise on the high temperature superconductor Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+x}$.

\begin{figure}[h]

	\caption{\label{fig:broadband_stm} Broadband STM. a) Home-built scanning tunnelling microscope (design based on \cite{pan_revsciinstrum_1999}) outfitted with broadband circuitry. b) In parallel to a conventional junction and its stray capacitance, R$_{\text{J}}$ and C$_{\text{J}}$ respectively, a finite frequency circuit is added consisting of an LC$_{\text{cable}}$ resonance and a HEMT amplifier. The inductance is a coil of superconducting NbTi wire, with L = 155\thinspace$\mu$H, which gives a resonance at 1 MHz for a cable capacitance of C$_{\text{cable}} \sim$ 160\thinspace pF. A C = 6.8\thinspace nF capacitance separates the DC and AC circuits and a resistance, R$_{\text{series}}$ = 400\thinspace k$\Omega$, in series with the tunnel junction suppresses cross-talk and ensures the LC$_{\text{cable}}$ resonance has a proper ground. A bandpass filter further removes the DC and high frequency components before readout with a spectrum analyser. c) Thermal noise of the LC$_{\text{cable}}$ resonance at T = 2\thinspace K.}
\end{figure}

\section{The circuit}

At low frequencies ($<$\thinspace 100\thinspace kHz) the noise spectral density is dominated by 1/f noise and mechanical resonances. At frequencies $>$\thinspace 100\thinspace kHz where shot-noise can be determined accurately, voltage noise from commonly used (high input impedance) room temperature current amplifiers is converted into current noise by the cable capacitances. As this spurious current noise grows linearly with frequency it rapidly overwhelms the shot-noise. To overcome the impedance mismatch at low temperature and loss through cable capacitances, we have equipped our home-built scanning tunnelling microscope (Fig. \ref{fig:broadband_stm}a) with an LC$_{\text{cable}}$ resonant circuit with its resonance tuned in the low MHz regime, followed by a low-noise high electron mobility transistor \cite{dong_apl_2014} (Fig. \ref{fig:broadband_stm}b,c). A capacitance (C = 6.8\thinspace nF) separates the current line from the LC$_{\text{cable}}$ resonant circuit, enabling determination of the shot-noise simultaneous with conventional STM measurements. The current noise is converted to voltage noise at the HEMT input by the modulus of the impedance at resonance, $|Z_{\text{res}}|$. This impedance is set by the quality factor of the LC$_{\text{cable}}$ resonance and the resistance, R$_{\text{series}}$ = 400\thinspace k$\Omega$, in the current line that suppresses cross-talk between the two circuits and ensures the LC$_{\text{cable}}$ resonance has a proper ground.

As the conversion of current noise to voltage noise goes with the square of the impedance at resonance, whereas the Johnson-Nyquist (i.e. thermal) noise is linear in impedance, a higher impedances at resonance (i.e. higher quality factor) is beneficial. In order to have a relatively high impedance at resonance, yet still small compared to junction resistances of $>$\thinspace10\thinspace M$\Omega$ typically used for studying correlated electron systems, we use a home-wound inductance of 155\thinspace $\mu$H made from Cu-clad NbTi wire which has an impedance at resonance of 170\thinspace k$\Omega$ (see below). The AC voltage noise output from the HEMT is further amplified at room temperature followed by a bandpass filter to remove 1/f and high frequency noise. The voltage noise at the spectrum analyser can then be approximated by:
\begin{equation}\label{equation:noise}
S_{tot} = (2q|I|F|Z_{\text{res}}|^2 + 4k_{\text{B}}T|Z_{\text{res}}| + \delta V_{\text{amp}}^2)G^2,
\end{equation}
where $G^2$ is the total gain of the amplification chain, $\delta V_{\text{amp}}$ is the combined input and output voltage noise of the various amplifiers and T is the temperature of the LC$_{\text{cable}}$ resonator, which we show to be identical to the temperature of the STM (T$_{\text{stm}}$) and of the tunnel junction (T$_{\text{e}}$).

\section{Calibration}

To calibrate our circuit we bring a Pt/Ir tip in tunnelling contact with a gold sample. The shot-noise in this case is purely Poissonian and the charge single electrons, i.e. F = 1 and q = e. In order to accurately determine the impedance at resonance, as well as the gain and the noise of the amplification chain, we measure the shot-noise of the junction for a range of temperatures between 1\thinspace K and 10\thinspace K. We use a sufficiently high junction resistance ($>$\thinspace10\thinspace M$\Omega$) to not be affected by thermal effects. We further assume that the quality factor of the resonant circuit (Q $\sim$ 25), which is at the same temperature as the sample and tip, is temperature independent below the superconducting transition temperature of NbTi, T$_{\text{c}}$ $\sim$ 10\thinspace K. The temperature of the HEMT, which is mounted on a different stage, is kept below 5\thinspace K, where its input noise and gain can safely be assumed to be temperature independent \cite{dong_apl_2014}. Figure \ref{fig:circuit}a shows the noise as function of temperature in absence of a tunnelling current, i.e. the thermal noise of the resonance plus the background noise of the amplification chain. Upon establishing a current, additional noise is observed as can be seen for T $\sim$ 2\thinspace K in Fig. \ref{fig:circuit}b, which is the shot-noise we are interested in. We fit the peak of the resonance with a Lorentzian (dotted lines in Fig. \ref{fig:circuit}b) to extract its maximum value. Figure \ref{fig:circuit}c shows the peak amplitudes of the total noise as function of tunnelling current for a range of temperatures - the value at I = 0\thinspace nA corresponds to the thermal noise plus the background from the amplification chain as shown in Fig. \ref{fig:circuit}a. To extract all relevant circuit parameters we finally fit the current and temperature dependence of Fig. \ref{fig:circuit}c using Eq. (\ref{equation:noise}), setting F = 1, giving: $|Z_{\text{res}}|$ = 170\thinspace k$\Omega$, G = 4.5x10$^{4}$ (of which the gain of the HEMT, G$_{\text{HEMT}}$, is 2.25) and $\delta$V$_{\text{amp}}$ = 2.42\thinspace nV/$\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$. Subsequent cooldowns have given similar results.

(\ref{equation:noise}) with $|Z_{\text{res}}|$ = 170\thinspace k$\Omega$, G = 4.5x10$^{4}$ (G$_{\text{HEMT}}$ = 2.25) and $\delta$V$_{amp}$ = 2.42\thinspace nV/$\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$.}
\end{figure}

\section{Electron temperature}

An additional benefit of our broadband scanning tunnelling microscope is that through shot-noise we are directly sensitive to the temperature of the tunnelling electrons. At sufficiently low voltages, the shot-noise will become thermally limited as can be appreciated from the full expression of the shot-noise, $S_{I} = 2q|I|\text{coth}(eU/2k_{B}T_{\text{e}})F$, where T$_{\text{e}}$ is the electron temperature and U the bias voltage. This temperature need not necessarily be identical to the bath temperature that is used in the fits to determine the circuit components (Fig. \ref{fig:circuit}), as atomic scale Joule heating, or limited filtering and/or poor thermal anchoring could lead to a higher junction temperature. In Fig. \ref{fig:thermally_limited_noise} we show shot-noise measured at R$_{\text{J}}$ = 10\thinspace M$\Omega$ (E$_{\text{bias}}$ = $\pm$\thinspace 10mV) for three different temperatures. Since at these relatively low voltages and high currents the voltage drop over the series resistance in the current line (R$_{\text{series}}$ = 400\thinspace k$\Omega$) becomes non-negligible, we have taken into account that the voltage drop across the sample is reduced by a factor IR$_{\text{series}}$. As expected, once the voltage approaches the thermal energy of the electrons, eU $\sim$ 2k$_{\text{B}}$T, the noise levels off. The excellent match between the data and the fits (dotted lines) using T$_{\text{e}}$ = T$_{\text{stm}}$ shows that our tip, sample and the resonator are properly thermalised to the bath, and that at $<$\thinspace 1\thinspace nA current Joule heating is negligible. Conversely, it proves we can use shot-noise as an accurate thermometer of the tunnel junction.

(\ref{equation:noise}). c) Enlargement of b) corresponding to energies where the thermal noise of the junction becomes limiting (dots: measurement, coloured dashed: fits with T$_{\text{fit}}$ = T$_{\text{stm}}$, black dashed: $S_I=2e|I|$).}
\end{figure}

\section{Atomic resolution and MHz modulation}

We now proceed to demonstrate that we can atomically resolve spectroscopy and simultaneous shot-noise measurements, and show the benefits of measuring differential conductance at finite frequency, by turning our attention to the high temperature superconductor Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+x}$ (Bi2212). Figure \ref{fig:bi2212}a displays the atomically resolved lattice of an optimally doped sample (T$_{\text{c}}$ $\sim$ 90\thinspace K) with its characteristic incommensurate super-modulation. Using a conventional low frequency (429.7\thinspace Hz) lock-in technique, we measure the differential conductance shown in Fig. \ref{fig:bi2212}b. An additional voltage modulation with a frequency corresponding to the resonance frequency of our LC$_{\text{cable}}$ circuit can be added to simultaneously measure the differential conductance at 1\thinspace MHz. As is apparent from Fig. \ref{fig:bi2212}b, the elevated frequency of the lock-in detection enhances the signal-to-noise significantly, reducing the required measurement time for spectroscopic measurements.

\begin{figure}[h]
	\centering
	\includegraphics[width=10cm]{Figure_4-01}
	\caption{\label{fig:bi2212} a) Atomic resolution image of Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+x}$ taken with our broadband STM. b) Differential conductance using a voltage modulation of 1mV at 429.7\thinspace Hz (DC circuit) and 1\thinspace MHz (AC circuit) with identical averaging times per point, taken simultaneously with each other. c) Spatial variation of differential conductance spectra taken along the line indicated in a), focussing on $|E|>30$\thinspace mV. d) Shot-noise measurements taken simultaneously with the spectra in c), normalised using the circuit parameters determined in Fig. \ref{fig:circuit}. e) Fano factor extracted from the slope of the shot-noise measurements in d). Simultaneously taken measurements in c-e have the same colour.}
\end{figure}

To measure the shot-noise simultaneously with the differential conductance as function of spatial location, we reserve our MHz circuit for shot-noise detection, while applying a low frequency voltage modulation to determine the differential conductance. Figure \ref{fig:bi2212}c shows a series of spectra taken at various locations including regions of small ($\Delta_{\text{peak-peak}} \sim$ 30\thinspace mV) to big ($\Delta_{\text{peak-peak}} \sim$ 70\thinspace mV) gaps. All spectra are taken with a setup voltage and current of 80\thinspace mV and 400\thinspace pA respectively. As the feedback loop is turned off and the voltage is swept from 80\thinspace mV to -80\thinspace mV, the current reduces to zero and changes sign, allowing us to simultaneously measure the current dependence of the shot-noise. The current in this case is predominantly from states outside the gap, i.e. $|E|>$ 30\thinspace mV, and the corresponding shot-noise is presented in Fig. \ref{fig:bi2212}d. Despite the large variation in gap size of the various locations, the states outside the gap that we address here show little to no variation in their shot-noise - the slope of the noise, or Fano factor, plotted in Fig. \ref{fig:bi2212}e is equal to one for all spectra with an error bar of a few percent. This means that outside the gap the quasi-particles responsible for tunnelling have a charge equal to a single electron charge, e, and tunnelling events are uncorrelated within our experimental error, F = 1.

\section{Discussion}
We have shown our ability to resolve shot-noise at the atomic scale simultaneously with the conventional, DC, operation of a scanning tunnelling microscope at low currents and high junction resistances with an experimental uncertainty of a few percent in the slope of the noise. One of the crucial ingredients in our circuit is the use of an impedance matching cryogenic amplifier. Due to its very low input noise at low temperature ($\delta$V$_{\text{input}}$ = 0.22\thinspace nV/$\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$ at 1\thinspace MHz), our cryoHEMT allows us to detect shot-noise with a high signal-to-noise ratio at low currents. For comparison, a low frequency circuit ($\sim$\thinspace 40\thinspace kHz) with room temperature amplification allowed us to detect signs of shot-noise after averaging each data point for several minutes at currents up to 1\thinspace nA. The system described in this work achieves the same signal-to-noise for sub-second averaging times. This can be further improved upon by suppressing the thermal noise at even lower temperature, and/or by increasing the impedance at resonance.

In order to address changes in the Fano factor with an even higher accuracy than a few percent reported here, and/or for low junction resistances, i.e. when R$_{\text{J}} >>$ Z$_{\text{res}}$ does not hold, one important factor needs to be taken into account that was negligible in the measurements we have presented thus far. The voltage to ground at the input of the cryogenic amplifier is proportional to the impedance at resonance of the LC$_{\text{cable}}$ circuit parallel to R$_{\text{series}}$ \textit{and} R$_{\text{J}}$. As the latter reduces, so does the absolute value of the detected noise as $Z_{\text{res}}$ in Eq. (\ref{equation:noise}) should be replaced by the transimpedance $Z_{0} = Z_{\text{res}}R_{\text{J}} / (Z_{\text{res}} + R_{\text{J}})$ \footnote{We can safely ignore the capacitance, C, since $Z_c=1/(2\pi f C) \sim 25 \thinspace \Omega$ is negligible.}. If the current-voltage characteristic is non-linear, as is the case for example for Bi2212, the dynamical resistance has to be substituted for R$_{\text{J}}$ in this correction.

The atomic scale detection of shot-noise we present here opens up a new avenue to study the dynamics of tunnelling and correlation effects around single impurities in all systems accessible by scanning tunnelling microscopy.

\textit{Note: a similar approach for atomic scale noise detection is reported by Bastiaans et al.: ``Amplifier for scanning tunneling microscopy at MHz frequencies''.}

Felicia Quinn is a Winter Element. Like all Elementals, they have to go to Elemental High. In Elemental High, they learn to manipulate their powers to defend themselves--from what, nobody knows exactly. Yet.
Then Darrell Arrica comes to Element School. She is unique, she doesn't have any of the ten elements. Her element is darkness.
Suthih, an evil empress, is one of the only other Darkness Element left. She and her Dark Devoters want to kidnap Darrell because she has strong darkness powers and is one of the only ones who can defeat her forever.
There's something happening at Winter's Academy.
So what does a school full of magically gifted students do?
Pica is beyond ecstatic at learning she's the Light Elemental; she just as thrilled at realizing her idol will be traveling with her. The way Aeris acted doesn't get her down for long; even though she wonders why she'll find a way to make the Priestess of Air accept her.
In his longing for knowledge, Tegen joined the Elementals to see and learn even more of the world. Being chosen as the Earth Elemental never influenced his decision-it did not intrigue him as to why. At least, he did not think so.


I ordered a Rock64 board w/ some accessories back in October. I show it shipped 11/6 and has tracking info through Shenzen on 11/8 then nothing.
Origin Post is Preparing Shipment, We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece.
My understanding is that EMS shipments should take about 7 - 15 days. I'm well outside that and I normally see packages hit Chicago (or another city) and go through customs. I sent a reply to the sales address which sent me the tracking info with no response. Am I being impatient, or does it seem like this package is really slow or lost?
I ordered a 4G ROCK64 in early Nov. It was shipped on the 11th and it arrived Nov 24th.

Shipping to US in general should arrive in 10-15 business day. However, sometimes the shipment can be stuck at port and waiting for USPS to clear up and this has happen 2-3 times this year. You can provide the order number and I will check for you.

When, I ordered, the order arrived within 6 days. I think there must have been another issue.
Looks like my shipping to US is also stuck. I ordered on March 12th and still have not received it. My order number is #58786 and Tracking is #LS834872746CN. Would you be kind enough to check ?
Sometimes stuck at shipping port for few days for security checking and moving again. This happens when the whole container has suspicious package.
I usually get things within 10-15 days. So this is taking unusually long. I guess I have to wait and hope for the best.

Gov. Newsom Signs Budget That Makes Californians Living in U.S. Illegally Eligible for Medicaid
Posted 4:59 PM, July 1, 2019, by Associated Press, Updated at 06:07PM, July 9, 2019
California's governor vowed on Monday to continue expanding taxpayer funded health benefits to adults living in the country illegally next year, ensuring the volatile issue will get top billing in the 2020 presidential election as Democrats vying for the nomination woo voters in the country's most populous state.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a $214.8 billion operating budget last week that includes spending to make low-income adults 25 and younger living in the country illegally eligible for the state's Medicaid program. California is the first state to do this, with an expected cost of $98 million to cover about 90,000 people
Democrats in the state legislature had pushed to also cover adults 65 and older living in the country illegally, as well as all adults regardless of age. But Newsom rejected those proposals because they were too expensive — about $3.4 billion for all adults living in the country illegally in California.
But Monday, Newsom told a crowd of supporters at Sacramento City College "we're going to get the rest of that done."
"Mark my words," Newsom said. "We're going to make progress next year and the year after on that. That's what universal health care means. Everybody, not just some folks."
If Newsom follows through, it will ensure California's legislature will be debating the issue at about the same time California voters are voting for a Democratic presidential nominee. The state has an outsized role in the selection process this year because its primary is scheduled for March 3.
Republicans seemed to welcome the debate. Speaking to reporters on Monday, Trump said California doesn't "treat their people as well as they treat illegal immigrants."
"At what point does it stop? It's crazy what they are doing," he said. "And it's mean. And it's very unfair to our citizens, and we're going to stop it. But we may need an election to stop it, and we may need to get back the House."
Newsom's comments highlight how quickly Democrats have embraced using tax dollars to provide services for people living in the country illegally. Former Democratic President Barack Obama's health care law dramatically expanded Medicaid coverage in 2014, but only for people living in the country legally.
Last week, all 10 Democratic presidential candidates during the second night of a televised debate raised their hands when asked if they supported expanding Medicaid to cover people living in the country illegally. They included front-runners like former Vice President Joe Biden, Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and California U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris.
"I think the anti-immigrant stance by the Trump administration has in some sense created this as the bigger issue," said Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. "The Trump administration has pushed Democrats even further to defend immigration and provide services to people who are already here."
California's $214.8 billion operating budget, which took effect Monday, also brings back an Obama-era tax on people who refuse to purchase private health insurance. State officials will use the money from the tax to help middle income families — including families of four who earn as much as $150,000 a year — pay their monthly health insurance premiums.
"To Donald Trump: eat your heart out," Newsom said.
