Putting a qubit's surroundings to good use
Where are the quantum computers? Aren't they supposed to be speeding up decryption and internet searches? After two decades of research, you still can't find them in stores. Well, it took two decades or more of research dedicated to semiconductors and circuit integration before we had digital computers. For quantum computers too it will take technology more time to catch up to the science
[caption id="attachment_436" align="aligncenter" width="512" class=" "] The electron spin (black arrow) inside a quantum dot interacts magnetically with the effective magnetic field (orange arrow) of the nuclei of the atoms forming the atomic environment of the electron.[/caption]
Meanwhile, research devoted to exploring bizarre quantum phenomena must continue to overcome or reduce a litany of practical obstacles before quantum computing can be realized. Not the least of these obstacles remains the isolation of qubits---the repository of quantum information---from their surroundings. A qubit, or better yet an ensemble of qubits, exists in a superposition of two or more possible states. The trouble is that superposition is a fragile condition, and the manipulation and final readout of those states are in danger of being undone if a qubit interacts with its environment. A new paper, published in Nature Physics (1) addresses this problem by demonstrating a new type of qubit control, one that actually makes productive use of a qubit's proximity to its surroundings.
The experimental work was performed at the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University in the UK. JQI (2) scientist Jacob Taylor provided the theoretical input to the work over the course of five years of cross-Atlantic collaboration.
ENVIRONMENTAL-ASSISTED CONTROL Qubits come in many forms but have one essential thing in common: they all embody a physical system---whether in the form of a photon or atom or electron or electrical current---which exists in two quantum states simultaneously. In the Cambridge experiment the qubit is a single electron trapped in a semiconductor. The two quantum states, in this case, consist of the two orientations for the electron's tiny spin, either up or down.
The electron's trap is a tiny region of the semiconductor called a quantum dot, essentially a zero-dimensional volume housing a single active electron. When studied at a temperature of about 4 K, the electron spreads as a wave across the 10 nanometer length of the quantum dot. The dot can be considered to be an artificial atom in which the electron (instead of orbiting a single nucleus) is confined in the crystalline lattice of millions of atoms. And like electrons in regular atoms, the select electron in a quantum dot possesses an energy spectrum of discrete energies.
The dot is fabricated using existing nanotechology. In substance it is a tiny lump of indium arsenide (InAs) grown amidst surrounding thicker layers of gallium arsenide (GaAs). Recall the story of the princess and the pea; a girl confirms her status as a princess by detecting a very faint lumpiness created by the presence of a single pea sandwiched between much larger mattresses.
Here the pea is the InAs quantum dot and the mattresses are the GaAs layers. The two species of semiconductor blend, InAs and GaAs, are incommensurate, meaning that their natural atomic spacings are slightly different. In practice this ensures that the atoms in the InAs dot are under some stress amid the surrounding GaAs atom layers. This stress, in turn, leads to the growth of such small 'pea'-like dots, confining the electron inside. Fortunately, one can probe the properties of these buried quantum dots via light, as the materials are transparent, allowing experimentalists to control and manipulate the electron using lasers.
The electron's energy spectrum is made still more complicated by the faint magnetic interaction between it and the nuclei of all those indium and arsenic atoms. Each of those nuclei has a net magnetic field and behaves as if it were a tiny magnet. Those nuclei, in the absence of an external magnetic field, are pointing in all different directions. But at any one moment, the totality of the nuclei exert a single, effective field, which the electron senses. The collective nuclei form a magnetic "environment" for the electron. In just a moment we'll see how the electron is employed as a qubit and how its environment---usually viewed as a threat to maintaining the quantum integrity of the qubit---is actually put to use in the process of manipulating and reading out the qubit.
QUANTUM DARK STATES If a laser strikes the quantum dot at certain wavelengths corresponding to allowed electron energies, the dot will absorb and then reemit light. It will fluoresce. Things get more interesting, however, if the electron can be coaxed into not absorbing light. To do this a dark state must be created. Generally, if a laser beam is tuned to the energy difference between two quantum levels, the atom can absorb laser light and be promoted to the more excited of the two states. The continued presence of the laser light will later stimulate the atom to re-emit the light and return to its lower (ground) state. In some circumstances this absorption/emission process can be stymied if there are closely spaced ground states.
Two laser beams, one tuned to promote the atom from state 1 to state 3 and one tuned to promote the atom from state 2 to state 3, can interfere with each other, leaving state 3 unreachable. This destructive interference can be turned on and off by changing the relative phase of the two laser beams.
This method is employed in the Cambridge experiment. The quantum dot qubit consists of the lone electron being maintained in a state of superposition (spin up and spin down) by laser light. Moreover, the presence of the underlying nuclear magnetic field forming the electron's "environment" helps establish a two-part ground state. Thereafter, the combination of the environment, plus the presence of two carefully-tuned laser beams allows the state of the qubit to be controlled (swiveled around in space) and even to be read out when detectors glimpse the electron as a bright (fluorescent) or a dark object.
In quantum computing, the explicit state of the qubit is unknown (spin up or spin down); this is positively a necessary condition---a required indeterminacy---for the quantum computation to continue. The only thing required is that one knows the relative change in the qubit, such as whether it was swiveled through an angle of 90 or 180 degrees. In conventional computing an example would be a NOT gate, which changes a bit from a 1 state into a 0 state or vice versa. It's only important to know the relative change in the bit, not its actual value. "What is profound is that the electron spin is always in the same quantum superposition, but the physical state evolves with the nuclear field," notes Mete Atature, the Cambridge researcher leading the experimental study.
"Usually you need an external magnetic field to manipulate qubits," says Jacob Taylor, "but this single field can't be used also to read out the final state of a qubit. In our all-optical approach we don't use a field so we can perform manipulation and readout with a single setup."

For a vendor selling through the channel, the sales and technical ability for a channel partner critically determine how much revenue will be generated by that specific partner. By leveraging its Partner Relationship Management (PRM) software and its Marketing Concierge services, ZINFI can reach out to a vendor's partner base and engage them for various partner training programs.
Once a new partner has expressed interest in joining a vendor's partner program or an existing partner wants to carry one of vendor's new products from their portfolio, it is essential to put together a business plan with the partner and a roadmap for the next few quarters. This is where ZINFI's partner planning services come in.
ZINFI can work with a vendor's partners to effectively plan out a multi-quarter growth strategy, which includes segment planning, end user targeting, marketing campaigns, sales closure plan, product training, and trial planning. A vendor's inside sales team can also use ZINFI's platform to develop their own channel marketing and sales plan. ZINFI's planning solution also links with ZINFI's market development funds (MDF), rebate and rewards modules which will allow a partner to think through how they can effectively deploy vendor funds to drive ROI for a certain product category.
Most vendors have effective training materials. ZINFI can enable a vendor with an automated capability coupled with marketing concierge services to effectively deliver the train to a set of target channel partners in a timely manner. ZINFI can assist a vendor by creating a dynamic delivery platform for online training and marketing. A vendor's training content can be given away for free or sold at a pre-determined price using ZINFI's online training catalog.
By working with a vendor ZINFI can not only deploy its Partner Relationship Management (PRM) platform that would deliver online automated learning management solution, but also proactively reach out to a target set of partners that are falling behind to achieve necessary certifications and milestones to become successful channel partners.
ZINFI's partner marketing concierge services can drive effective training roll out and adoptions globally.
When a channel partner goes through product training, marketing planning, and sales execution, it is very important to reach out in a systematic way to capture a partner's experience with the programs. This not only increases partner satisfaction, but also allows the marketing teams to improve the effectiveness of the current programs.
ZINFI's survey solution can enable ZINFI's partner marketing resources that are working for a vendor or a vendor's own inside sales team to effectively get feedback from channel partners quickly and efficiently. ZINFI's dynamic survey solution is fully integrated with ZINFI's Partner Relationship Management (PRM) and Partner Marketing Management (PMM) reporting modules. ZINFI can customize each survey to capture partner feedback quickly and effectively.

Which doctor is highest paid in USA?
Doctors have traditionally been labelled as rich for some reason and although we're definitely not rich compared to professionals with the equivalent amount of education, we're certainly not in poverty either.
The average medical graduate is in their early-mid 20s so a medical career can potentially span 40+ years..
Percentage distribution of household income in the United States in 2019Annual household income in U.S. dollarsPercentage of U.S. households50,000 to 74,99916.5%75,000 to 99,99912.3%100,000 to 149,99915.5%150,000 to 199,9998.3%5 more rows
Six figures can be anywhere between $100,000 – $999,000. Depending on where you live, six figures is considered rich by many people's standards. A top 1% income earner in America makes about $400,000 a year. Therefore, if you want to be certain you are rich, you might as well shoot to make at least $400,000 a year.
The next level up, with wealth of $10,000 to $100,000, contains 21 percent of the world's population, but has 12.5 percent of its wealth. The next level, from $100,000 to $1 million, has just 7.3 percent of the population and about 40 percent of the wealth.
The lowest-paid specialties—internal medicine, family practice, and pediatrics—reported earning less than half of the annual salary of those in the top.
According to an online survey of more than 20,000 physicians across 29 specialties, the highest-paying medical specialties are:Plastic surgery—$501,000 per year.Orthopedics—$497,000.Cardiology—$408,000.Radiology—$401,000.Dermatology—$392,000.
Meanwhile, medical specialists earn an average of $329,000, as of 2018. Across all specialties, Medscape found that the average salary for physicians is $299,000. Those numbers are up moderately from 2017, when primary care physicians average $217,000 in professional income, while specialists averaged $316,000.
Become an expert Fifty-six percent of professional self-made millionaires in my study were doctors. Surgeons and scientists earned the most money and were the wealthiest, according to my data. Next up were lawyers, then engineers, then financial planners. One CPA made the list.
$500,000 a year or higher is a level which I think is considered rich. Anybody who thinks otherwise has no concept of financial reality. Even the government almost agrees after compromising by raising the income level for when the highest marginal tax bracket kicks in to ~$400,000 from $200,000 back in 2013.
By most measures, a $250,000 household income is substantial. It is five times the national average, and just 2.9 percent of couples earn that much or more. … The cost of living in New York, for example, is 105.7 percent higher than that in Peoria, according to Salary.com.
In the 2018 Medscape Physician Compensation Survey, the average physician salary is somewhere between $223,000 and $329,000. … According to the same Medscape survey, U.S. Physicians earn more money than physicians in all other surveyed countries except Canada, which apparently leads the pack.
At $200,000 a year, you are considered upper middle class in expensive coastal cities and rich in lower cost areas of the country. After $19,000 in retirement contributions to your 401(k), you are left with $181,000 in gross income, leaving you with roughly $126,700 in after tax income using a 30% effective tax rate.
The title Mister became a badge of honour, and today, in many Commonwealth countries, a qualified doctor who, after at least four years' training, obtains a surgical qualification (formerly Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, but now also Member of the Royal College of Surgeons or a number of other diplomas) is …
Only about 20 percent of American households even break the six-figure mark, according to Census Bureau data. But while many Americans still see that number as a prized income, it doesn't necessarily roll out the red carpet anymore.
Competitive programs that are the most difficult to match into include:Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery.Dermatology.General Surgery.Neurosurgery.Orthopedic Surgery.Ophthalmology.Otolaryngology.Plastic Surgery.More items…
To be considered "rich," Americans say you need a net worth of at least $2.3 million.
Yes definitely. A lot of them earn that much ! Just think about a hypoyhetical average neurosurgeon in ny who is pulling in 2 million dollars from his hospital now his bonus from hospital will be about 200k. … With this much level of income many us doctors are worth above 100 million dollars .

How can you turn your medical school dreams into reality? By following the 5-step framework that Linda Abraham, CEO and founder of Accepted, lays out in this quick video. Watch, and learn.
You're going to make a fantastic physician. You know it. Your family knows it. And now you need to convince the medical schools to accept you. That's the goal now, and the obstacle in the path to your dream career.
Let me show you the how to get to where you want to go.
As a result you may be experiencing stress, fearing failure, and feeling plain old overwhelmed.
You don't want the application hoops – and there are several – to prevent you from becoming the dedicated, capable doctor you know you can be.
I get it. I'm Linda Abraham, the founder and president of Accepted, and we've been guiding clients to medical school acceptance for over 20 years.
Our clients tell us that applying to medical school is a grueling process, much more difficult than the undergraduate application process. And they also tell us that we help them get in.
I just gave you an overview of the 5 critical steps you must master to get into medical school – allopathic or osteopathic. I go into more depth in the webinar, The 5-Part Framework for a Successful Medical School Application, and you are invited to view the webinar now. It's free to view.
You need the additional information and depth provided by the webinar, so don't delay. Watch it to reduce the risk of rejection and reapplication and increase the likelihood of acceptance to medical school.
And let's face it – this isn't really just about overcoming those 3 C's that I mentioned at the beginning or even about getting accepted to medical school. It's all about pursuing the career of your dreams and become the caring, compassionate, and skilled physician you know you can be.
Work one-on-one with an experienced medical school admissions pro and get accepted to the medical school that will help you achieve your career goals. View Accepted's catalog of Medical School Admissions Services for more information.


Price drop $75 per 500 pixels and $200 for the controller/power supply/enclosure. Price for everything dropped to $325. And again, prices do NOT include shipping BUT I'll pick up half the actual shipping costs.
All controllers listed in the first post are sold pending payment.
Not sure how to tell the difference between generations 1 and 2? Generation 3 is easy to spot since there are surface mount components and the layout is totally different. I'm pretty sure all the controllers I'll be listing are generations 1 and 2. If anybody knows an easy way to spot the difference let me know and I'll be sure to post that info too. And I should have stated that I'll test all the channels and network ports before I send any controller out. I keep good notes on such things throughout the lighting season and make repairs as needed. I haven't had any controllers act up in a couple years but I'll double-check just to make sure. And honestly, if anything should ever go wrong with the controllers I sell I'd be happy to repair them. I can't fix a controller that totally burns up but a bad network port or a bad channel is easy to fix(you'd just have to pay shipping).
They did when they were stored last year but I'll make sure they do before I send any out. I have a stash of spare ports here so any I think are questionable I'll just swap out.
I bought all these last year to use in our display and never got around to adding them. The pixels are brand new. They come in bags of 10 strings(50 pixels per string) and the one bag was only opened to get a good picture of the nodes. They are 5v WS2811 IP68 and I included a bunch of pictures here... https://photos.app.goo.gl/nhSZfPGqqDR6xLet7 The SanDevices E682 controller is fully assembled in a CableGuard CG-1500 enclosure. It includes a 60A 5v power supply mounted on a power supply kit from HolidayCoro.com. There are pictures of the controller here... https://photos.app.goo.gl/CZFDJFH1n8Jin67A7 I'd like to get $85 per 500 pixels and $215 for the controller/power supply/enclosure. If you buy everything I'd drop the price to $350. All prices do NOT include shipping BUT I'll pick up half the actual shipping costs. If you have any questions or want a picture of something let me know.
Thought I'd update this thread with a bit of good news... for 2018 I'm going to do a display for a buddy of mine at his local business(Robot City Games in Binghamton, NY). He has two huge front display windows(approximately 8'x20' each) and a huge front facade that I can attach items to or hang items off. There is also a flat roof above this that we may or may not try to get some 10' trees going on. The best part is there is a large municipal parking lot right across the street so traffic shouldn't be an issue! Finally... FINALLY!!! I've helped this friend in the past with his arcade and front display lighting(we have ~50 10w RGB floods all over the place inside) and we actually work well together. Keeping my fingers crossed this will work out well(for both of us)! Just look at this blank slate... can't wait to get things designed!
I'm maybe about 2/3 of the way down. The big items are left but they all have superstrands that need to be balled up so I'd like it to be at least 35F and sunny when I do them... makes them wind up easier.
I have been dreaming of a backyard walkthrough display... so many possibilities! You can do WAY more than a public display! We are stopping our front yard display after this year and I was supposed to take 2018 off but... who knows... maybe our backyard will be bright next year. Good luck with the new knee!
I definitely don't mind the setup and tear down. This year I enjoyed it more than ever... it was a bit more difficult than years past but just seeing everything once it's together is very gratifying. I would definitely like to continue to do something, somewhere. I have a friend who owns a business and I'm wracking my brain to figure out how to decorate his building. Traffic shouldn't be an issue there but the display would have to be unique since he doesn't have any "yard". And no offense meant by the "job" comment... if folks want to dedicate their free time to managing traffic more power to them! That's just not something I find appealing. I spend enough time replacing my incandescent bulbs so I couldn't imagine having to be outside 3 or 4 hours a night too!
I understand what you are saying but personally I feel I donate enough of my time over the 3 month lighting season(from start to finish). If I have to babysit people outside every night then yep, I'm out. Which that is the point I think we are at unfortunately. You folks that have massive traffic flow plans and volunteers to implement these plans are way, WAY more dedicated than me. I can see maybe doing this sort of thing if I were retired and didn't have a day job but I just can't be out there all the time. Not only "can't" but I don't *want* to be either. The fun part of the hobby for me is actually watching our lights. I love grabbing a few beers and sitting in my truck watching the lights and watching people watch our lights. Kids and old people are my favorite because their faces light up the same. Oh well... I can tell my mind is made up to end our lights just how I'm typing here. It seems my mind is at ease with the thought so I'm 99% sure I've answered my own question on whether or not it's time. It's been a GREAT hobby for sure and I've met some GREAT people here so thanks LOR!
I'm in my 10th year and I've written two sequences myself and hated it. LOL. I am totally with you on what you wrote! I am so thankful Richard Holdman shared ALL of his sequences the first three or four years he did his lights at his old house. He was also cool enough to make tutorial videos on various parts of his display. Between these two things, I felt confident enough to plan my display over the entire 2008 off-season. When the lights lit for the first time I was floored! Without that sharing that went on, I doubt I would have jumped into this hobby. I am very, VERY thankful to everyone who has shared over the years. I am not artistic enough to sequence from a blank page. I have re-written almost entire sequences but to start from nothing? I just can't do it. What's more is I try to capture other people's displays in ours. I love some of the displays I've seen over the years and it's awesome to capture a little touch of them. Whether it be with a lighting effect, or using an actual song... I totally know who I'm "copying" and it brings a smile to my face. Nobody, I mean nobody that watches our display knows where I've borrowed things from. And I doubt they'd care either since we have almost no animated displays around us. People just like to watch dancing Christmas lights and that's what I like too so I do this crazy display. All thanks to people sharing. So thank you sharers. You make it possible for us non-creative folks to appear creative.
Thanks. It's a DJI Phantom 3 Standard. The camera is the 2.7k version as opposed to the 4k upgrade. I kept my eye out on eBay for refurbished ones and picked ours up for ~$300. Great drone... I can't say enough good things about it.
I had this a couple years and it was traced down to my communication lines running too close and parallel with channel cords. All I had to do was make sure they were separated and when the do cross power lines I cross at 90 degrees. Good luck.
I has been very windy around here too. Face burn has been had on more than one day for sure. Final push was this week since I took it off of work and after four 10-12 hour days I am finally *almost* done. Just have the spiral tree to populate(frame is already setup) and then the strobes. I always shoot for December 1st but I also always try to have enough done to give the family a show Thanksgiving night.
Ugh... I'd say I'm about 35%-40% setup so far. Time is just flying this year!
Put our 16x50 RGB display up yesterday with the daughter since it acts as a simple Halloween decoration. Today I'm going to start getting stuff out of the Christmas Shed. Wire frames and mini-trees get left out for a bit so rain can wash off any cobwebs and mouse "stuff". Then I'll grab the megastrand tubs so I can start replacing burned out lights(yep, still mostly incandescent here). Will probably put the roof lights up today since it's nice out and there's a possibility of my work not cooperating with my regular display setup schedule(as in all of November).
Where to buy connectors for Sandevices E682?
I'm looking for the 4-pin connectors used for each channel. I need 16 of them since I had some weird kind of galvanic corrosion happen over the off season. Really odd thing that I'm happy was just contained to the wire side of the connector. Searched a few parts places but didn't have any luck. Hoping someone here has a source. Thanks in advance!
Love your show! Thanks for sharing.


After my last competition in November of 2008 I received a lot of positive feedback about my physique and just how much it had improved from my previous outing. Clients, friends and family who were either at the show or viewed photos afterward mentioned over and over just how wide my back looked, how small my waist was, how much overall mass I carried, and more than anything, how my pecs reminded them of the one and only Arnold (and that would be Schwarzenegger, not Palmer). However, unlike past years I did not hear very many comments about my arms. This was unusual and actually concerned me, as I had always felt that my arms were pretty darn big, and certainly worthy of selling at least a few dozen tickets to the "gun show!" Consequently I decided to carefully review the contest pictures myself so that I could evaluate where my bis and tris stood in relation to the rest of my physique. In my opinion symmetry and aesthetics are more important than anything else, and thus this is something I have always carefully kept an eye on while sculpting my body in the gym. Apparently, however, after meticulously examining my photos I realized that my arms had in fact fallen a bit behind, especially in relation to the size of my chest and shoulders, which grew tremendously during 2008. The disparity was most noticeable in my both my side chest and front lat spread poses, where my pecs and delts appeared to literally "swallow up" my arms, making them look almost weak in comparison. This was totally unacceptable to me, and I vowed then and there that the next time I step onstage I would be reloaded with bigger, better guns!
*Lying Overhead Cable Curls: This unique exercise is my personal favorite for a targeted assault on the brachialis (which when developed will increase the biceps' "peak"). Begin by placing a flat bench in front of a weight stack on one side of a cable crossover machine. Make sure that the bench is at least a foot or so away from the stack, as the goal here is to make your arms appear more like mountains, not to put a mountain-sized lump on your head (LOL)! Attach a short straight bar to the upper pulley, lie down, and plant your feet firmly on the floor. Have someone hand you the bar as trying to grab it yourself is a bit awkward on this exercise. Start with your arms perfectly straight and then begin curling the bar both down and back, so that at the full contraction point, the bar is actually behind your head. As you curl you will need to draw your elbows back slightly and tip your head forward just a bit in order to achieve this exaggerated range of motion. At the bottom hold the squeeze for 1-2 seconds and then return the bar under control to the starting position. Note: as a variation, this exercise can also be performed seated, facing an upper cable pulley. In this case you would hold your arms straight overhead, and again curl the bar down and back to full contraction.
** Elbows-Out High Smith CG Bench Press: Lie on a flat bench as you would with regular CG presses, but slide your body forward so that the bar is just about even with your chin. Take a close grip on the bar, but instead of keeping your elbows tucked close to your body, rotate them outward until the upper arm is perpendicular to your torso. Of course this will also rotate the position of your hands on the bar as well, so be very careful about taking your grip, because with this exercise it will almost be as if the bar is simply "lying" on your palms. This is why I perform these on a smith machine, so there less chance of the bar rolling out of my hands. Once you are in position, un-rack the bar from the safeties and lower it slowly until it reaches a point just below your chin before carefully, but forcefully pressing to the top. Locking out is not really possible with this movement, so there will be constant tension on the tris throughout the set. You will likely only need about ½ to 2/3 of your normal CG Bench Press poundage with this alternate version.
*** Face High Single Arm Cable Tri Extensions: As a trainer/coach I am very similar to the great Charles Glass in that I am constantly looking for new angles that will hit the muscles in a unique way. This takes some experimentation, but once I find that perfect groove, hitting the muscle just where I want to, I smile wide, knowing I have found another training "gem." This is one of those movements, and it has quickly become my favorite triceps isolation exercise! In order to perform it properly you will need access to an adjustable pulley system, so that you can set it up at a height that is just about even with your chin. Grab the end of the pulley with no bar or handle attached (if it has a rubber ball near the end that is the perfect spot) and turn your body 90 degrees to the left, so that your left foot is now the one closest to the machine (this is in order to work the right arm). Bring your arm up so that your biceps is up between chin and nose height, and at full stretch your fist is almost back by your left shoulder. Then, without moving the elbow, forcefully straighten your arm until the triceps is fully contracted. Squeeze hard and then slowly return to the starting position. Turn your body around and repeat with your left arm. This is one that you can play around with, changing the angle of the elbow just slightly so that the forearm moves in an upward, downward, or straight plane. Each method gives the exercise a somewhat unique feel and exhausts a different set of motor unit pools.
Once the exercises were in place it was time to turn my attention to just how I would proceed to train my guns. Now, unless you live under a rock, or just flew in from outer space, you are sure to know that I am the developer and pioneer of two different (but synergistic) training programs – P/RR/S and FD/FS – both of which would be called upon to help me add some beef onto my pipes. However, because my plan was to specialize on arms, I used a different rotation of the two methodologies than I did with other body parts, as well as unique applications of each. "Do what you have always done and you will get what you always got," is a saying that certainly applied here, and thus, I knew my bis and tris needed a somewhat new prescription. With that in mind, this is how I set up my week to week arm-attack!

Fans familiar with Guardians of the Galaxy will be a surprise — the backstories of the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy from Eidos Montreal and Square Enix will be unique. This was told by the games creative director on the PlayStation. What are the main differences? Attention, spoilers! Peter Quill, for example, will call himself Star Lord after the beloved music band from Earth.

Twelve years before the events of the game, there was an intergalactic war against Chitauri. During this war, Drax was able to carry out what he could not do at MCU, namely, kill Tanos.
As for Gamora, she is still Thanoss foster daughter, who is also the foster daughter of Thanos. took part in the war with Chitauri.
However, because of her past, she failed to gain hero status. Its not all the new details that await players in the new Guardians Of The Galaxy.
Fortunately, theres a bit left to wait: theres more than two months left before the games release. As early as October 26, new Watchmen stories will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC.

Residential Rehab for People with Disability
Accra Rehabilitation Centre is a vocational training rehabilitation centre for persons living with disability. It is located in the Adabraka district of Accra, directly across Barnes Road from the National Museum of Ghana. In the early years of the twenty-first century, people usually refer to it as 'The Centre.[1] .' The centre is home to about 49 trainees with 14 being female[2]. Altogether, there are 26 staff members that includes social workers, technical instructors and security personnel[2]. The centre runs vocational courses in visual art, leatherwork, masonry, carpentry, cosmetology, tailoring,needle work and rural craft[3] to provide the trianees with employable skills training to enable them live dignified lives.
2 Treatment programmes
The Accra Rehabilitation Centre was established in 1962, under the auspices of the Department of Social Welfare to train and empower all persons with disability to acquire employable skills[2]. The rehab centre is to train and empower all categories of disabilities from; from Visually impaired, hearing impaired, to the physically disabled.
Over the decades, numerous advocacy groups for the disabled have established headquarters in the compound – such as Ghana National Association of the Deaf, Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled, and an umbrella group called Ghana Federation of the Disabled behind which we find offices, a computer lab, a Braille press, workshops and a showroom for products, plus an income-generation venture in the form of a chalk-producing factory[1]. The Centre's a chalk-making factory was set up by the Ghana Association of the Physically Disabled, to train them in chalk production and other vocational skills that will bring them income and sustain them for life[4]
Treatment programmes[edit | edit source]
At the Centre students are fed thrice daily and provided with the necessary materials for vocational training, all at no charge.[3]. Residential rehabilitation courses lasting about 3 months per term are offered at the Centre[1]. At the end of which the students will be tested by the National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI) and the successful ones can establish their own jobs[1]. The failures will continue with the courses until they become perfect in their fields[1] The ages of the trainees at the centre ranges from 18 to 35.

The US Still Hasn't Released Shaker Aamer from Guantanamo, and It's 'Insulting' the UK
British MP Andrew Mitchell was unusually frank with VICE News, saying that the 13-year incarceration of a Guantanamo prisoner is damaging to US-UK relations.

America's continuing imprisonment of a British Guantanamo Bay inmate is "insulting" and "doing increasing damage to the Anglo-American relationship," a senior British politician has said.
The unusually frank comments — made by ruling Conservative Party MP Andrew Mitchell to VICE News — highlight the UK's increasing frustration over the case of Shaker Aamer, a Saudi Arabia citizen and British resident who has been cleared for transfer from Guantanamo since 2007.
"We've shed blood and treasure in a common cause in Iraq and in Afghanistan," Mitchell said, "And for our prime minister and for us to be treated in this way by America is insulting to their oldest ally, and I think it's extremely important that this matter is put to rest as soon as possible."
The former Conservative Party chief whip made the comments to VICE News on Thursday at the end of a cross-party delegation to the US to lobby for the transfer of the Saudi-born 46-year-old, who has been held without charge for 13 years.
They follow repeat assurances from the US that Aamer's case will be resolved. In January, President Obama told Prime Minister Cameron that Aamer's case would be prioritized. In April, US government officials said that he would be transferred within weeks. Mitchell was dismissive of these assurances, however.
"They said that six years ago and he's still inside," Mitchell told VICE News. "And he's not being released. It needs to happen."

Aamer was cleared for release to Saudi Arabia by the Bush administration in 2007, and by an interagency task force that reviewed his case in 2009. He has a British wife and four children, and UK officials fear that he will not be safe if he is deported to Saudi Arabia.
"They will hear me screaming in London if they try to drag me away from here to Saudi Arabia," Aamer wrote in a letter to his lawyer at human rights NGO Reprieve in 2013. "If they come in the middle of the night I will resist them every step of the way. I am going to London only; I wish to be with my wife and my kids. I have many concerns about Saudi and I am not going back to Saudi for many reasons. Most important is my family. They deserve me and I need to go back to them."
A sustained effort to transfer him to the UK — including a recent petition signed by more than 40,000 people — has so far failed to yield results, however.
"Whatever you think of Guantanamo — even if you approve of Guantanamo, which I don't — nevertheless, to be incarcerated for 13 years without charge, and to have been cleared twice… is appalling," said Mitchell.
Mitchell was one of two Conservative MPs in a delegation assembled by Reprieve to lobby for Aamer's release that included fellow Conservative David Davis and Labour MPs Jeremy Corbyn and Andy Slaughter.
Arriving in the US on Monday and returning Thursday, they met with senior senators including Dianne Feinstein and John McCain, who said they would look into the matter and "push it up the line," Mitchell said.
"We were there to lobby for his release and we were there to point out that the prime minister had been promised and nothing had happened. We were there speaking as a broad cross-section of parliament," he added.
However, Aamer's release can only be triggered by a note to Congress signed by the defense secretary — which provides Congress with 30 days' notice of his release.
"That note has not been issued," said Mitchell. He believes the delegation has made progress but says he can't quantify that or give an estimate of when Aamer will be released.
Mitchell agreed that the situation was embarrassing for Britain, "because we've asked that he be released or transferred to the UK, where we have the right security and care systems to address any aspects of this that needs to be addressed, and it hasn't happened."

A spokesman for the Office of the Special Envoy for Guantanamo Closure at the US State Department told VICE News that Aamer's case continued to be a priority.
"We are working to transfer each of the 57 detainees currently approved for transfer in a manner that protects our national security and is consistent with our humane treatment policies," he said. "We recognize the importance the UK government has placed on resolving Mr. Aamer's case in a timely manner, and we have made his case a priority."
A UK Foreign Office spokesperson said Aamer's case was a "high priority".
"We continue to raise Mr Aamer's case at the highest levels with the US authorities and welcome President Obama's continuing commitment to closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay," they said.
The last of nine British citizens and eight British residents to be released from Guantanamo, Aamer was born in Medina, Saudi Arabia. He studied in America and worked as a translator for the US Army during the first Gulf War.
Moving to London in 1996, he continued translating and married Zin Siddique, a British Muslim, fathering four children. They traveled to Afghanistan in 2001 where Aamer says he worked for an Islamic charity. After the US-led invasion, Aamer was captured by the Afghan Northern Alliance and handed over to the Americans, who offered bounties for alleged al Qaeda members.
The US has previously suggested that national security concerns remain over its release of Aamer. In 2007 Wikileaks released an assessment of Aamer prepared by a military analyst. It said that he was a close associate of Osama bin Laden and was a powerful figure at Guantanamo who could control other detainees to the point that he could persuade them to commit suicide. Aamer has always denied being associated with al Qaeda.

COUNCIL BLUFFS-The Pottawattamie County GOP met on a rainy Friday evening for their 2017 Annual Lincoln / Reagan Dinner.
The high profile audience included US Senator Tom Cotton, Lt. Gov Kim Reynolds, Secretary of State Paul Pate, State Auditor Mary Mosiman and Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett along with local members of the State Legislature.
One missing lawmaker, Representative Greg Forristall who passed away recently was repeatedly mentioned for the impact he made on the state and his local community. Many speakers offered their condolences.
County Recorder, Mark Brandenburg, gave a touching tribute to the late lawmaker.
It's not easy to sum up a man's life in a few paragraphs, especially when that man in Greg Forristall. Greg was an adventurer, a traveler, a farmer, a gourmet cook, a woodworker, a public servant, a lifelong learner, and a man dedicated to others. He had one of the rare, truly Renaissance minds, as a scholar of science, technology, literature, language, and music.
While he was on a constant quest to enrich his mind, he also had a lighter side. Greg was a devoted Hawkeye fan, loved science fiction (especially Star Trek), put on fireworks displays that made every adult feel like a kid again, and he was a late-night internet shopper. Carol was never surprised to have anything delivered to her door-and I do mean anything: a flying drone, rare coins, antique cuff links, boxes of books, dogwood bushes, and even undershorts in bulk.
In debate with him, on the Iowa House floor, found themselves engaged in a battle of the minds.
When the Iowa House was voting in the collective bargaining bill, which was of great importance to the Governor, and he needed his vote, Greg excused himself from the hospital and arrived during the final voting process to cast his vote.
The last time he was on the Iowa House floor, he ran an important education bill on home rule, and as usual, destroyed the opponent's arguments in his closing statement.
"Greg was a happy warrior.-after hearing from his constituents, he'd plant his feet and stand firm for what was best for them and their families. My fond memories and my respect for Representative Forristall, will never diminish.
When introducing Lt. Gov Reynolds, Master of ceremony, Chip Maxwell, mentioned that it could very well be the last time she was introduced with the title Lieutenant Governor.
US Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas who was the keynote speaker joked about the upcoming vote to make Branstad Ambassador to China that will next week will make Reynolds Governor.
Lt. Gov Reynolds recounted coming into the motor vehicle section of the Clarke County Treasurer's office from the private sector.
"I had so many ideas on how to make the office better. I thought we could use more automation and processes that could make the office run more efficiently. Every night I would come home and talk about it to Kevin. After four years the Treasurer decided not to run again which is practically unheard of in county offices. Nobody in the office wanted to run. I asked Kevin about it and he said that if I didn't take the opportunity to implement all the ideas I'd been sharing with him for the past four years he didn't want to hear about it again.
Senator Cotton talked about the state of the Democratic Party and said "they just aren't getting it." He mentioned that Chuck Shumer had protesters outside of his house because he's not liberal enough. He discussed the recent Mayoral race in Omaha where Bernie Sanders endorsement of the Democratic candidate was rebuked by progressives because the candidate was not pro-choice enough.
Cotton discussed his military service, graduating from Harvard a lawyer but enlisting as an infantry paratrooper because he was inspired by the attack on 9/11. He mentioned the eroding American Dream which he said Democrats are trying to pass off as "The New Normal." He juxtaposed the phrase several times with the phrase "Time for a New Beginning" in what could potentially become a slogan for a distant presidential bid from the young Senator.
He said he wanted to wait a few weeks for Governor Reynolds to get settled before he made an announcement which he expected to do late in June.

Basaglar belongs to a type of diabetes medication called long-acting insulin, which works a few hours after injection and lasts for a day. Basaglar is manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim, a Burlington-based pharmaceutical corporation.
Basaglar is mainly used in adult patients for the management of type I and type II diabetes mellitus. In pediatric patients, it is only indicated for the treatment of type I diabetes. Basaglar effectively regulates the metabolism of glucose, thereby improving glycemic control in diabetic individuals. Please note that Basaglar is not effective in treating diabetic ketoacidosis.
Use Basaglar exactly as directed. Before using Basaglar, patients should always read the labels. Patients should be trained to inject Basaglar using appropriate techniques.
Basaglar is designed to be injected into the deltoid, thigh, or abdominal area. In order to minimize the risk of lipodystrophy, patients should rotate the sites of injection. Patient are advised against mixing or diluting Basaglar, as this may alter the time to peak effect or onset of action in an unpredictable way. Basaglar should not be administered via an insulin pump or intravenously, as this can lead to severe hypoglycemia.
As with many other diabetes medications, Basaglar is often prescribed as part of a treatment program that often involves weight control, exercise, diet, eye care, foot care, and dental care. While on Basaglar, doctors may need to perform blood glucose tests on a regular basis. For optimal treatment results, patients should follow their exercise routines and diet/medication regimen closely.
Basically, Basaglar (insulin glargine) works by regulating the metabolism of glucose. Through the stimulation of glucose uptake by fat and skeletal muscle, insulin and insulin analogues are able to lower blood sugar levels. At the same time, Basaglar has an inhibitory action on the hepatic production of glucose. It is believed that insulin can enhance protein synthesis and inhibit proteolysis and lipolysis.
The sterile, colorless injectable solution is supplied in a prefilled 3ml delivery device.
The dose of Basaglar varies from patient to patient, ranging from 1 to 80 units. This medication should be injected once per day at the same time every day. For the treatment of type I diabetes, it is recommended to initiate the treatment with 1/3 of the total daily requirements for insulin. In addition to Basaglar, pre-meal insulin and rapid- or short-acting insulin should be used to fulfill the rest of the daily insulin requirement. If indicated for treating type I diabetes, Basaglar must be used in combination with a short- or rapid-acting insulin.
As for type II diabetes, patients should use 0.2 units/kg (or up to 10 units once a day) initially. While taking Basaglar, the dose and timing of other diabetes medicines (including rapid- or short-acting insulins) may need to be adjusted.
The dose of Basaglar should be adjusted to reflect changes in hepatic or renal function, physical activities and meal patterns (e.g. timing of food intake or macronutrient content).
This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the potential side effects of Basaglar. Some patients may experience adverse effects other than the ones listed in this section. Patients are advised to seek medical attention right away if they experience any serious or unexpected side effects. Refer to the product leaflet for a complete list of side effects of Basaglar.

Staying on top of your rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment might seem like an inconvenience at times, but it's worth it — in fact, the alternative can put your quality of life at risk.
Without proper treatment, RA can cause long-term damage to joints and serious damage to your whole body, along with persistent pain and disability, says David Pisetsky, MD, PhD, a rheumatologist and professor of medicine and immunology at Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina. Without proper treatment, over time, your joints may become deformed and lose some of their function.
But on the flip side, the right treatment can go a long way toward preventing long-term damage and preserving joint function. "With current treatment options, most people can have a good control of symptoms and reduce RA progression," Dr. Pisetsky says. "Many can even experience remission."
Short-Term Complications of Untreated RA
If left untreated, RA can cause a number of short-term complications, particularly joint pain, Pisetsky says. And because RA affects the entire body, without treatment you may also experience general malaise, fever, and fatigue.
Untreated RA can also increase the risk for infection, Pisetsky says. RA is an inflammatory type of autoimmune disease — meaning when you have RA, the immune system concentrates on attacking your joints and other tissues instead of protecting you from illness. The more severe your RA, the greater the risk for infection, according to the Arthritis Foundation (AF).
When RA Goes Untreated: Long-Term Health Issues
If RA is left untreated in the long-term, it can affect not just quality of life but the duration of it, too. "Persistent inflammation can lead to a shorter lifespan," Pisetsky explains.
Uncontrolled RA can also increase your risk for heart disease, because RA-related inflammation not only affects the joints, but also the heart. This inflammation can also contribute to narrowing of your blood vessels, according to the AF, allowing plaque to build up.
People who have RA have as much as twice the risk of heart disease as the general population, according to the AF. According to study published in April 2018 in BMC Rheumatology, due to the link between RA and heart problems, it's important to manage not just RA but heart disease risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and being sedentary.
And the more advanced your RA, the greater your risk for heart damage, the American College of Rheumatology notes.
However, untreated RA can affect more than just your joints and your heart, leading to complications ranging from skin issues, to bone thinning, to eye complications, and beyond.
That said, following a regular treatment plan that helps slow the progression of your RA can help protect your joints, your heart, your overall health and well-being — and your life.

The Importance of Seeking Early Treatment
About 85 percent of those who develop RA sustain joint damage, and most of that damage occurs within the first two years of onset, according to the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center. Today, many experts recommend early, aggressive treatment to protect vulnerable joints.
Remission is increasingly possible thanks to new therapies, which can be used alone or in combination. Your doctor will work with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses your individual needs. Your RA treatment plan may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) — a wide category of immune-suppressing drugs that includes biologics as well as the newest approved RA treatment option, janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, according to the AF.
In addition, making healthy lifestyle choices, like getting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy body weight, and following an anti-inflammatory diet, like the Mediterranean diet, can help you feel better and promote healthier joints, the AF adds. According to a study published in August 2018 in the journal Arthritis Care & Research, people with RA who were overweight were 25 percent less likely than those at a healthy weight to achieve sustained remission in the first three years following RA diagnosis, despite being on the same treatment. Those who were obese were 74 percent less likely.
Working closely with your rheumatologist can help you find the most effective combination of lifestyle changes and medication to gain control of your RA — and your life.
Even if it takes some time to find the right treatment for you, it's important to stick with it. Though you may find symptom relief fairly quickly, "finding the right medication for prolonged care can take longer," Pisetsky explains. "Usually, several months can elapse before it is clear if a treatment is working or not and whether it's time to try something new."
Treating RA is a long-term commitment, so find a rheumatologist you feel comfortable with, and don't get discouraged if a particular drug doesn't work for you. Give your body time to respond to new medications, and let your doctor know of any concerns you may have about your treatment.

Highlights from the Knockout Stages of the Champions League
The most prestigious tournament in European soccer gets to the business end
By Glen Levy @glenjlFeb. 14, 2013
CESAR MANSO / AFP/Getty Images
Real Madrid's Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo vies with Manchester United's Northern Irish defender Jonny Evans during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg football match Real Madrid CF vs Manchester United FC at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid on Feb. 13, 2013.
Real Madrid 1 – 1 Manchester United. It says something about the magnetism of managers Jose Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson that their pre-match remarks arguably made as many headlines as anything uttered by the world class players on show. Madrid's Mourinho isn't having the easiest of seasons, with his side trailing behind rivals Barcelona in the league, and journalists were keen to know what his next managerial move might be. Would he eventually take over from Sir Alex at Manchester United, when Fergie eventually calls it a day (he's been the boss since 1986)? While the former Chelsea manager confirmed that a return to English soccer "will be my next step," he dismissed the possibility of heading to Manchester because "I think we have to end our career at the same time. [Ferguson] at 90 and me at 70."
It was a cute, yet respectful, answer and a reminder that, even with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney taking to the field at Madrid's Bernabeu stadium Wednesday, these charismatic leaders are enthralling. Ferguson, who can handle anything thrown at him, had a zinger of his own in response to Spain's press labelling his striker Rooney as a "hooligan," and "a freckled demon." "Rooney can't read Spanish so we will be all right," said Sir Alex.
Perhaps Rooney had been taking lessons, and was so hurt by the remarks that he put in a curiously quiet performance. Luckily for United, one of his strike partners for club and country, Danny Welbeck, was far livlier and gave the road side an early lead (and potentially crucial away goal) with a header from a corner. Ten minutes later and former United star Ronaldo equalized with an even more powerful header, somewhat reminiscent of the goal he scored for United in the 2008 Champions League final. Say what you will in the great Lionel Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo debate but it's hard to find a player who heads a ball as decisively as the Portugese playmaker.
The game was utterly compelling and played at a pace which made a mockery of any claims that international soccer is the pinnacle of this sport. There's a frenetic quality to Champions League knockout games, but class and poise somehow remains on show. In theory, United remain more on track to progress to the quarter finals thanks to the tie, and Ferguson has his defence and goalkeeper David De Gea to thank for holding firm (the always on point, and hilarious, Roger Bennett tweeted that "This was a lot like witnessing De Gea's BarMitzvah. The day he became a man.") The game might not have ended up being the final that Sir Alex wanted but the good news for the rest of us is that we get to do it again in a few weeks.

Shakhtar Donetsk 2-2 Borussia Dortmund. Unless you were at this game, did it truly take place? With no disrespect intended, who would have been watching when Madrid vs. United was on at the same time? But anyone who did tune in was treated to a thoroughly absorbing contest, with Borussia Dortmund emerging happier than Shakhtar Donetsk. Twice Dortmund fell behind, to Darijo Srna's free-kick and then substitute Douglas Costa doing his best to replicate Dennis Bergkamp's wonder goal for Holland which knocked out Argentina at World Cup '98. But the German outfit would not yield. They equalized through the prolific Robert Lewandowski and, with three minutes to play, Mats Hummels. Dortmund continue to go under the radar but if they progress, as they will be expected to, nobody will fancy playing them.
Celtic 0 -3 Juventus. Scottish side Celtic had already defied expectations in this season's Champions League by emerging from a group which contained Spartak Moscow, Benfica and Barcelona, who Celtic memorably defeated at home. So when you beat Messi and his mates, a knockout match against Italian giants Juventus is unlikely to fill you with fear. But despite giving their all, and, to keep the soccer clichés rolling, working their socks off, Celtic got caught cold by a classic road performance from Juve, who soaked up considerable pressure from the home side, and then went down the other end of the field to score three times.
Within three minutes, striker Alessandro Matri made defender Efe Ambrose pay for his misjudgement. But the Italians didn't score their decisive second and third until the final 15 minutes of the game when Claudio Marchisio scored on the counter-attack before Mirko Vucinic rubbed salt into the wounds after another error from the hapless Ambrose. His selection may have caused some surprise, considering that he played in last Sunday's African Cup of Nations final for Nigeria and didn't even arrive back in Glasgow until the day of the game.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon didn't shy away from the monumental effort required in the return game next month by stating that his side "need[s] a miracle. It's the harsh reality of football at this level." He also got in a dig at referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco, calling him "very pro-Juventus" for what he felt was robust man-marking at corner kicks, and how "it's not rugby we're playing, it's soccer." Regardless of the sport, if Celtic did somehow manage to overturn the deficit, the result would surely be on a par with their historic win in the final of this competition back in 1967.
Valencia 1 – 2 Paris Saint-Germain. PSG made one of the biggest splashes in the recent transfer window by enticing David Beckham to join for the remainder of the season. Despite being eligible to play in the Champions League, Becks wasn't included in the squad (though was watching from the stands) and will be pleased that his new side won the first leg, on the road no less. But perhaps he and they will reflect that the task at hand is more difficult than it ought to be. Going into injury time, PSG had a healthy 2-0 lead, courtesy of Ezequiel Lavezzi and Javier Pastore's first half goals. But then two major blows: first, Valencia halved the deficit when Rami headed in Tino Costa's free-kick, and then Swedish enigma Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sent off for a stamp, though it didn't appear as if there was much contact with Andres Guardado. His three-match ban means he'll miss the return fixture on March 6. At least they'll have a replacement player raring to go, even if Beckham's best days are probably behind him.

Employee theft is considered a form of white-collar crime. The concept of white-collar crime was first introduced by Edwin Sutherland in his 1939 presidential address to the American Society of Criminology. Most scholars now agree that white-collar crime is presently a very broad subject. Historically, white-collar crime has been thought of as crimes committed by executives in any corporate setting. This is a common misconception in that theft by employees can occur from any position within an employer's chain of command. Whether an entry-level worker takes office supplies or a CEO embezzles millions of dollars, both employees have committed employee theft. White-collar crime is divided into two crime categories, occupational and corporate crime. Presently, scholars regard employee theft as an occupational crime. However, scholars have been unable to accept a universally conclusive definition of employee theft.

Katt Williams may have had a tough year in 2016, but it looks like things are really starting to turn around for the comedian. In addition to recently dropping his own Netflix special, "Great America," the star also revealed that he is set to make a cameo in the popular comedy series, Atlanta.
This wouldn't be the FX series' guest appearance. In the first season, the show had a cameo from Migos. Atlanta will reportedly return for season on Mar. 1 at 10pm EST on FX.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Rising raw material costs and a string of natural disasters that disrupted production sapped business confidence among Japan's big manufacturers in the September quarter, a central bank survey showed on Monday, taking it to the lowest in more than a year.
The survey gave little indication underlying sentiment had been hit by escalating global trade frictions. But the specter of a fully-fledged trade war weighed on companies' business outlook, which could threaten otherwise brisk capital expenditure, a bright spot in the world's third largest economy.
The survey casts doubt on the Bank of Japan's view that a solid economic expansion will help accelerate inflation to its elusive 2 percent target, although there were some signs that companies were gradually passing costs to their customers.
"Sentiment is leveling off due to slowing exports and weakening factory output amid worries of a global trade war," said Takeshi Minami, chief economist at Norinchukin Research Institute.
The headline index for big manufacturers' confidence fell to plus 19 in September from plus 21 three months ago, the BOJ's tankan survey showed, deteriorating for three straight quarters and lower than a median market forecast for plus 22.
The index for non-manufacturers fell to plus 22 from plus 24 in the June survey, matching a median market forecast and worsening for the first time in eight quarters.
Both big manufacturers and non-manufacturers expect business conditions to remain unchanged three months ahead, the survey showed.
Investors took the deterioration in the tankan business mood in their stride, pushing Japan's Nikkei share average .N225 to a 27-year high on Monday, as an extended weakening in yen helped improve export earnings prospects for Japanese corporations.
Despite the somewhat subdued business mood, the latest tankan underscored solid corporate capex plans, driven by demand for refurbishing capacity and boosting investment in robotics and automation to cope with labor shortages in the aging population.
Big companies plan to increase capital expenditure by 13.4 percent in the current fiscal year ending in March 2019, compared with 13.6 percent in the previous tankan survey.
Capital expenditure plans at all firms grew 8.5 percent in this fiscal year, close to the pace seen during Japan's bubble economy era, Minami said.
"There's room for further improvement given that small companies firm up earnings estimates from now on, although that will depend much on how effects of a trade war play out in business sentiment," he said.
In an encouraging sign for Japan's battle with deflation, the survey showed companies became more able to pass on costs, with the index measuring change in output prices at plus 7 for big manufacturers, the highest in a decade.
Underscoring the tightening labor market, the survey's index measuring employment conditions at big firms hit minus 23, meaning the tightest level since 1992.
Japan's economy rebounded in the second quarter from a contraction in January to March thanks to robust business spending.
But a summer of escalating trade frictions and natural disasters that disrupted supply chains cloud the outlook for the export-reliant economy.
