Faking quantum probabilites: Beyond Bell's theorem and Tsirelson bounds. (arXiv:2105.12728v1 [quant-ph])
上午8:50 | Marek Czachor, Kamil Nalikowski | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org
Local hidden-variable model of singlet-state correlations discussed in M. Czachor, Arithmetic loophole in Bell's Theorem: Overlooked threat to entangled-state quantum cryptography", Acta Phys. Polon. A 139, 70-83 (2021), is shown to be a particular case of an infinite hierarchy of local hidden-variable models based on an infinite hierarchy of calculi. Violation of Bell-type inequalities is shown to be a `confusion of languages' problem, a result of mixing different but neighboring levels of the hierarchy. Mixing of non-neighboring levels results in violations beyond the Tsirelson bounds.
Collapse-in and Collapse-out in Partial Measurement in Quantum Mechanics and its WISE Interpretation
Gui-Lu Long (Tsinghua University)
SCIENCE CHINA Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy, (2021)
In this short communication, we will concentrate on the partial measurement issue and give an explanation concerning the WISE interpretation. The essential idea of WISE is given in Ref. [4], together with the linear combination of unitaries (LCU) formalism of quantum computing. LCU has now become one of the major techniques in quantum algorithm design. The quantum circuit implementation of LCU is given in Refs. [7, 8], and a review of the subject is given in Ref.[9].
Protecting quantum states against loss. (arXiv:2105.13233v1 [quant-ph])
上午8:50 | Benjamin Desef, Martin B. Plenio | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org
Quantum error correcting codes (QECCs) are the means of choice whenever quantum systems suffer errors, e.g., due to imperfect devices, environments, or faulty channels. By now, a plethora of families of codes is known, but there is no universal approach to finding new or optimal codes for a certain task and subject to specific experimental constraints. In particular, once found, a QECC is typically used in very diverse contexts, while its resilience against errors is captured in a single figure of merit, the distance of the code. This does not necessarily give rise to the most efficient protection possible given a certain known error or a particular application for which the code is employed.
In this paper, we investigate the loss channel, which plays a key role in quantum communication, and in particular in quantum key distribution over long distances. We develop a numerical set of tools that allows to optimize an encoding specifically for recovering lost particles without the need for backwards communication, where some knowledge about what was lost is available, and demonstrate its capabilities. This allows us to arrive at new codes ideal for the distribution of entangled states in this particular setting, and also to investigate if encoding in qudits or allowing for non-deterministic correction proves advantageous compared to known QECCs. While we here focus on the case of losses, our methodology is applicable whenever the errors in a system can be characterized by a known linear map.
Science Spoofs, Physics Pranks and Astronomical Antics. (arXiv:2103.17057v2 [physics.hist-ph] UPDATED)
Authors: Douglas Scott
Some scientists take themselves and their work very seriously. However, there are plenty of cases of humour being combined with science. Here I review some examples from the broad fields of physics and astronomy, particularly focusing on practical jokes and paper parodies. This is a mostly serious overview of a non-serious subject, but I'd like to claim that there is in fact some connection between humour and creativity in the physical sciences.
Gibbs Paradox in the View of Information Entropy. (arXiv:2105.12566v2 [cond-mat.stat-mech] UPDATED)
Authors: Xiao Xu
This paper introduces the basic concepts of information theory. Based on these concepts, we regard the states in the state space and the types of ideal gases as the symbols in a symbol set to calculate the mixing entropy of ideal gas involved in Gibbs Paradox. The discussion above reveals that the non-need for distinguishing can resolve the contradiction of Gibbs Paradox, implying the introduction of indistinguishability is not necessary. Further analysis shows that the information entropy of gas molecular types does not directly correlate to the energy of a gas system, so it should not be used for calculating thermodynamic and statistical dynamic entropies. Therefore, the mixing entropy of the ideal gas is independent of the molecular types and is much smaller than the value commonly thought.
Antimatter and the second law of thermodynamics. (arXiv:1704.01750v4 [hep-th] UPDATED)
Authors: Gabor Etesi
In this short paper we make a proposal that the second law of thermodynamics holds true for a closed physical system consisting of pure antimatter in the thermodynamical limit, but in a reversed form. We give two plausible arguments in favour to this proposal: one refers to the CPT theorem of relativistic quantum field theories while the other one is based on general thermodynamical arguments. However in our understanding the ultimate validity or invalidity of this idea can be decided only by future physical experiments.
As a consequence of the proposal we argue that the dynamical evolution of pure macroscopic antimatter systems can be very different from that of ordinary matter systems in the sense that sufficiently massive antimatter systems could have stronger tendency to form black holes during time evolution than their ordinary counterparts. Taking into account the various uniqueness theorems in black hole physics as well, as a result, antimatter could tracelessly disappear behind black hole event horizons faster in time than ordinary matter. The observed asymmetry of matter and antimatter could then be explained even if their presence in the Universe was symmetric in the beginning.
Black hole thermodynamics in the presence of a maximal length and minimum measurable in momentum. (arXiv:2104.08672v4 [gr-qc] UPDATED)
Authors: Bilel Hamil, Bekir Can Lütfüoğlu
In this work, incorporating the effect of the minimum measurable in momentum and maximal length, we studied thermodynamics property of Schwarzschild black hole and the Unruh effect. {\color{red} According to this scenario, we see that the black hole temperature cannot be smaller than a certain minimum value of $ T_{\min} $. Moreover, we find that black hole mass cannot be larger than a maximum mass value of $M_{\max }$. Considering these findings first we compute the corrected Hawking temperature versus the mass and examine its characteristic behavior. Then, we derive the black hole's entropy and heat capacity. We find that the black hole is stable when $\frac{M_{\max }}{\sqrt{3}}<M<M_{\max }$. Finally, we examined the modified Unruh effect. We find that the modified Unruh temperature explicitly depends on $\alpha$.

Quantum many-body scars and weak breaking of ergodicity
2021年5月27日 星期四 上午8:00 | Zlatko Papić | Nature Physics – Issue – nature.com science feeds
Most large quantum systems are ergodic, meaning that over time they forget their initial conditions and thermalize. This article reviews our understanding of seemingly ergodic systems that in fact have some long-lived, non-thermal states.

Invariance or equivalence: a tale of two principles
The presence of symmetries in physical theories implies a pernicious form of underdetermination. In order to avoid this theoretical vice, philosophers often espouse a principle called Leibniz Equivalence, which states that symmetry-related models represent the same state of affairs. Moreover, philosophers have claimed that the existence of non-trivial symmetries motivates us to accept the Invariance Principle, which states that quantities that vary under a theory's symmetries aren't physically real. Leibniz Equivalence and the Invariance Principle are often seen as part of the same package. I argue that this is a mistake: Leibniz Equivalence and the Invariance Principle are orthogonal to each other. This means that it is possible to hold that symmetry-related models represent the same state of affairs whilst having a realist attitude towards variant quantities. Various arguments have been presented in favour of the Invariance Principle: a rejection of the Invariance Principle is inter alia supposed to cause indeterminism, undetectability or failure of reference. I respond that these arguments at best support Leibniz Equivalence.

On the face of it, characterizing quantum dynamics in the exponentially large Hilbert space of a many-body system might require prohibitively many experiments. In fact, the locality of physical interactions means that it can be done efficiently.


Self-defense key to Jones' entrepreneurial pursuits | HartfordBusiness.com . New to the site? Click here to register.
Joe Jones is an accomplished martial artist and instructor, but he's also an entrepreneur who owns a private security firm and real estate in Hartford.
Growing up as a New Jersey teenager in the 1960s, Joe Jones was shy, skinny and lacked self-confidence. His mother, Dora, encouraged him to talk more with his father — a tough World War II Army veteran also named Joe.
Mom told her son that his dad once took on three men who were harassing her and knocked them out simultaneously, without ever using his hands.
Little Joe was mesmerized. How could someone beat up three men while having his hands in his pockets? He eventually found out that the Army trained his father in martial arts. Big Joe was not a black belt, but he (apparently) caught on quickly.
At 10, little Joe began taking lessons in self-defense from his father, then later from certified instructors. He eventually earned a black belt in 1969. He is now a 10th-degree black belt.
Joe Jones' love of the martial arts would prove transformative. It became an integral part of his life that he parlayed into teaching, world championship-level fighting, and the martial arts Hall of Fame.
For the last 25 years, Jones has also owned Jo-Ryu Security LLC, which has operated since 2005 out of a spacious 12,000-square-foot brick building he owns on Franklin Avenue in Hartford.
Make no mistake, martial arts is the family business. The security firm is a successful spin off. Everyone in the Jones family is an accomplished martial artist. Joe Jones and wife Mattie's five children all have black belts. The grandchildren are in training.
"Once they start walking we put them on the mat," Jones said.
His private-security business employs about 40 people, including several family members. There is a fleet of vehicles and a couple stretch limousines. Many staffers are licensed to carry weapons. The firm provides security for events, parades, nightclubs, construction sites, large churches, apartment buildings, businesses, schools and corporate executives. There are about 15 core clients.
The key to great security? "Unity and people working together as a group," said Jones, 69. "If one of us is in trouble, we are all in trouble. We back up each other and make the client feel safe."
Jones is a man of great faith. His love of God and the martial arts have given him discipline, structure, serenity and confidence. Those attributes embody his business philosophy and instructions to the thousands of students trained over the last 48 years, about 200 of whom have earned black belts.
Jones is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and a sturdy 195 pounds. He is slow-talking, wise, composed and quick with a smile. His grandfatherly demeanor belies the menacing countenance seen in pictures from his fighting prime back in the 1980s and 1990s when he fought at 163 pounds.
When told he looks downright mean in those images, Jones grins. "When in the ring," he said, "I had to let them know."
Outside the ring, Jones is an entrepreneur with several real-estate holdings. He leases parts of his Franklin Avenue building to a law firm, salon and church. Years ago, he owned a restaurant and a variety store in Hartford's North End.
Jones is well-known in the Greater Hartford community, having taught martial arts for 30 years — 1987 to 2017 — at the LP Wilson Community Center in Windsor. His daughter, Shihan Lisa Jones, teaches there now. Jones developed his own style of self-defense, called Jo-Ryu. It incorporates karate, jujitsu and boxing.
He still actively teaches out of a gym he built at the Franklin Avenue building. A boxing program will be added there soon, along with cardio kickboxing. Jones still laments the untimely death of his son Joe Jr. — a New England amateur boxing champ who died in 1985, at age 17, in a motorcycle accident.
As for the future, Jones said he wants to keep on teaching, growing his security business and managing his investments.
And, he adds, "keep God in my life."

Home : French-Icarian Persimmon Tree Cookbook
French-Icarian Persimmon Tree Cookbook
The Icarian Living History Museum in Nauvoo Illnois compiled recipes for the French-Icarian Persimmon Tree Cookbook. It is not a French cookbook but is a collection of early Icarian recipes from immigrants and their families.
Format: Softcover spiral bound, 190 pages
Publisher: Pollard Press
Compiled by: Louise Anderson Lum
Description: This book is not being presented as a "French" cookbook, but as a collection of treasured recipes from early Icarian immigrants and their descendants. Many are from Lillian Snyder's Blue Jay Note Book, and many more are from neighbors and friends. Very old recipes are used as written.
Recipes were received over a period of time, and those too late to classify were included in Miscellaneous or put in any available space. They were too good to leave out.
Who Were the Icarians?
The Icarians were the followers of the philosophy and writings of Etienne Cabet. Cabet, born in Dijon, France in 1788, was a lawyer, teacher, public official and journalist. He wrote a novel, VOYAGE EN ICARIE, in which he described a social organization which he believed would bring peace, justice, equality and brotherhood to the world. Forced to leave France because of his political beliefs, Cabet and his followers came to the United States.
The Icarian Colonies survived fifty years, longer than most of the 450 utopian experiments in the United States during the 19th century. In 1977, led by Dr. Lillian Snyder, the descendents of the original Icarians organized the National Icarian Heritage Society.
Condition: Cover, interior pages and spiral are in very nice condition.

Listen: Sugarland Concert Catastrophe 911 Call
By Len Brown 3:40 PM PDT, August 16, 2011
In the wake of the tragedy that befell Indiana State Fairgoers this past Saturday, ET has obtained the 911 calls concerning the horrific tragedy before the Sugarland concert.
In the audio clips, a concertgoer swiftly contacts law enforcement it what seems to be just moments after the incident took place. Subsequently, two more callers phone in the emergency due to the dire circumstances.
As fans awaited a performance from Sugarland at the fair, extreme winds caused the stage to crash down, resulting in five deaths and over 40 people injured. Since then, the band has released a statement on their website in which the group extended their sincere condolences as well as other plans.
"We have taken a couple of days to try and even begin to emotionally process the magnitude and gravity of the tragedy in Indiana on Saturday," the group said in the statement. "We are in the process of planning a private memorial in Indiana, to honor those fans who died."
In addition to their private vigil, the band plans on hitting the road again, starting with their scheduled show in Albuquerque this Thursday, August 18th.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. – Authorities asked the public to come forward if they donated to an Orange County woman who claimed her firefighter husband was battling the Holy Fire.
Orange County Sheriff's Department is investigating a woman who is suspected of making up a firefighter husband to scam people into giving money that she would donate to Cal Fire crews, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Ashley Bemis, 28, of San Clemente, received donations including $11,000 in cash, blankets, baby wipes, socks and food between August 10 and August 17, investigators told LA Times. As the investigation continues, Bemis has not been arrested.
Anyone who may have donated gifts or money has been asked to fill out a questionnaire at the OC Sheriff's Department at the San Clemente office.
"We're hoping the community will do a good job of coming forward for us so we're able to present the best case possible [to the Orange County district attorney's office] to hold this individual accountable for her actions," sheriff's spokeswoman Carrie Braun told LA Times.
Bemis may have previously fabricated stories to receive sympathy and money from the community, the newspaper reported.

Property investors urge government to scrap stamp duty surcharge
By Conor Shilling
Property investors are calling for the government to provide more support to the UK property market.
A survey of investors, carried out by MT Finance, found that 97% of respondents don't believe the government is doing enough to support the UK market.
When asked what changes they'd like to see introduced, 50% said scrapping the 3% stamp duty surcharge on additional properties, while a third said they'd like to see a reversal of changes to buy-to-let mortgage interest tax relief.
Meanwhile, 17% of respondents, in which was a relatively small sample size of 135, argued for the introduction of a tiered tax system for buy-to-let property.
The investors were then asked about their political preferences. Some 50% said they would back the Conservatives in a General Election, while 18% plumped for the Liberal Democrats and 16% said they'd vote for the Brexit Party.
Just 3% of those surveyed said they'd back the Labour Party in an upcoming General Election.
"It is interesting that [removing] the stamp duty surcharge is more important to property investors than mortgage interest tax relief - it suggests this group of investors are the ones who are most likely to expand their portfolios," says Gareth Lewis, commercial director at MT Finance.
"Investors have been dealt some serious setbacks, impacted by changes to stamp duty and tax relief but despite [these] changes, many remain resilient and still see property investment as a key tool for retirement planning, and a good home for their monies while interest rates are low."

NRA-ILA | FBI OVERBOARD ON SUSPICIOUS CUSTOMER WARNING?
FBI OVERBOARD ON SUSPICIOUS CUSTOMER WARNING?
Since the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is responsible for enforcing federal gun laws, dealers and other federal firearm licensees typically contact that agency (or state or local police) when they encounter suspicious customers. So, it raised eyebrows when the FBI began circulating flyers in gun shops and ranges, encouraging owners of those businesses to report suspicious customers to "your local Joint Terrorism Task Force" instead. The flyers first appeared in Connecticut, with a revised version appearing more recently in Utah.
The two versions of the flyers we have seen, both titled "Communities Against Terrorism: Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related to Gun Shops and Gun Ranges," list a number of things that would cause anyone to be suspicious. These include use of fake IDs, altered appearances, making radical or anti-American comments, practicing kidnapping scenarios at a range, referring to "jihad training manuals," and attempting to circumvent gun laws.
On the other hand, the flyers also list a number of things that are not inherently suspicious at all, such as paying in cash rather than with a credit card, traveling a significant distance to visit a range, possessing little knowledge about a product purchased, being interested in the use of concealed weapons, and buying bulk quantities of "weatherproofed ammunition."
On that point, we hope good judgment will prevail.

Praise for Health Staff after achievements recognised at Annual Review
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde held its Annual Review today (2 October), which was attended by more than 250 members of the public
The event, chaired by Shona Robison MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Health, Wellbeing and Sport, offered an opportunity to review the performance of Scotland's largest health board across a wide-range of key health priorities.
The audience heard how a number of targets had been met or exceeded including the 80% target of mums-to-be booked for an antenatal care appointment which was exceeded with 87% being seen. Similarly 98% of patients referred to child and adolescent mental health services started treatment within 18 weeks.
NHSGGC last year helped 1,904 people to quit smoking from our most deprived areas and at 95% of target is above the Scottish average of 83%. Almost 13,000 alcohol brief interventions were also carried out in the last year and the board continues to exceed the drug and alcohol waiting times target with 96.8% of patients referred for treatment within three weeks.
Another success was in the area of IVF treatment, with 100% of eligible patients being screened within 12 months, exceeding the target of 90%.
While many performance targets were exceeded, meeting the four hour waiting times target in our A&E departments remains challenging. In the year to March 2017, an average of 90.7% of patients attending our A&E departments were discharged after treatment or admitted to inpatient wards within four hours. While this is an improvement in performance, it fell short of the 95% target.
The cabinet secretary, board chief executive and chairman took a number of questions from the floor on subjects including how the complaints procedure could be improved, Health and Social Care Partnerships engagement processes, paediatric in-patient services at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, and orthopaedic waiting times.
John Brown CBE, Chairman of NHSGGC, said: "NHSGGC has some of the finest healthcare professionals in the country and I am very proud of the work they do every day. Their skill and dedication should be applauded, as they strive to make improvements in patient care and quality standards.
"Our staff deserve praise for continuing to deliver our 18 weeks Referral to Treatment waiting time guarantee for over 89.7% of patients during the last year.
"Our record on treating patients with mental health issues is also something to be proud of with 94.7% of adults and 98% of children and adolescents starting treatment within 18 weeks of referral.
"However, despite this high performance in certain areas, there are still areas for improvement and we need to all work together to achieve this."
NHSGGC Chief Executive Jane Grant, said: "The annual review is a chance to reflect on the last year, while outlining what we are doing to address our challenges, so I welcome the Cabinet Secretary's comments today.
"I also think it's really important to listen to feedback from our patients and use this to improve services for them. There are several examples of where this feedback has brought about real change.
"We have extended visiting times in the last year, to make our wards more accessible for families and carers, as we appreciate what an important role this plays in a patient's recovery. We have also responded to feedback on the food we serve to patients and our catering staff worked hard to create new menus, including lighter options. During 2016-17 we received a total of 13,163 comments and I am delighted that 90% of these were positive.
"The past year has also seen the realisation of a number of capital projects, with new, state-of-the-art health and care centres opening in Eastwood and Maryhill. Orchard View, new 42-bedded dementia and mental health unit on the grounds of the Inverclyde Royal Hospital has recently opened and brought great benefits to patients and their families.
"This investment won't stop there as there are new health and care centres planned for Woodside, Gorbals, Clydebank and Greenock. These will all bring high quality physical environments for our patients and staff and we will also continue to tackle social inequalities for our patients by working with third sector partners and providing wider financial inclusion services.
"Also during 2016-17 we made a major commitment to helping those suffering from trauma, as a result of childhood abuse, war, domestic violence, torture, trafficking and major incidents, with the launch of our new dedicated Glasgow Psychological Trauma Service. This brings together 25 dedicated staff to one site and will offer hope to around 600 of our patients each year."

During 2016-17 NHSGGC made progress against many of our significant Local Delivery Plan Standards and across a wide range of strategic programmes. Highlights include:
Maintaining 100% performance in relation to the number of eligible IVF patients screened within the standard waiting time target.
Continuing the improvement in access to our Child and Adolescents Mental Health Services and Psychological Therapies with 98% of patients respectively receiving treatment within 18 weeks of referral.
Continuing to exceed the 90% drug and alcohol waiting times target, with 96.8% of patients referred for treatment within three weeks.
Continuing to improve access to antenatal care with 87.1% of mums-to-be booking for an ante-natal care appointment at 12 weeks gestation, exceeding the 80% target.

Q: Synchronous notifications with notify-send and xfce4-notifyd? I intend to send synchronous volume notifications in arch(changing volume and showing the progress bar) and was wondering if I can do this with plain notify-send and xfce4-notifyd(eg. a hint or something).
EDIT1: More precisely I want new volume notifications to replace old ones so that it emulates a volume meter and it doesn't flood my screen.
If not, is this possible with notify-osd or do I need to actually use libnotify?

A: Or try zenity. You can do all kinds of fun things with notifications, including progress bars (although they use a regular popup window).

Matthew McGregor
Obama Media Team
Matthew has been working in digital, communications, and politics around the world for 15 years.
For President Obama's re-election campaign he ran digital rapid response, working at the intersection of digital and communications, with senior staff across departments.
Labelled "Obama's digital attack dog" by the Guardian, Matthew spearheaded the campaign's online work to frame Governor Romney's business record, to prepare the campaign's online response to the vice presidential pick, and around the debates.
The Times described the work of Matthew's team: "Every time Mr. Romney slipped up, raised a policy point or made a decision, indeed, every time he spoke, the team was ready to counterattack with slick graphics, funny blogs and e-mail blasts. The most devastating hits often included excruciating videos of Mr. Romney's most embarrassing moments."
Matthew played a pivotal role in flagging Governor Romney's comments about London being unready to host the Olympics on the first day of his trip to London. Mark Halperin and John Heileman write in Double Down, "McGregor's intercession turned the frame into Romney-as-not-ready-for-prime-time-player — and a one-man special-relationship wrecking crew."
Before and after the 2012 campaign, Matthew worked at Blue State Digital, initially setting up and running their London office before moving to the U.S. to oversee international and political work, including election campaigns in India, Australia, and most recently for the U.K. Labour Party during the 2015 General Election.
Matthew has a long history of working with progressive organizations, including labor unions, advocacy groups and not-for-profits. He is a regular public speaker at conferences on developments in digital communications, rapid response and social media, and is regularly quoted in the media on those topics.
A native of Norwich, England, Matthew gained a BA in Government and Politics at the University of Sheffield, UK in 2001. Now a dual citizen, Matthew is an avid fan of the Washington Nationals and EPL team Norwich City. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife.

Very beautiful catcher dreams! Feathers are beautiful, not disheveled, looks great! I really like, thank you very much to the seller.
Very nice dream catcher for the price!


In 2009 God placed a little girl in our hearts. I held Nephtali during the January 2010 earthquake and leaving her behind was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. This is the account of her journey home.
We are in the air. And we appear to be making good time after a lengthy delay due to heavy rain and lightning.
If we land when we are predicted to we will have about 12 minutes to get to our connecting flight. At the Dallas/Ft Worth airport, that's not likely. We're hoping there's a flight available later in the afternoon or evening..
Please continue to pray that all goes well and we are able to arrive in Haiti as scheduled.
12 - The number of hours until we get on a plane.
96 - The number of hours until our little girl gets off the plane.
And Nick as healed enough that we are not concerned about her travelling... That's a very good thing indeed. Praise God.
We have been experiencing a whirlwind of emotions over the last week.
First the good news. Nephtali's Visa appoint is set for tomorrow and plane tickets have been purchased. If all goes as planned, we will be flying to Haiti next Monday on the 28th and will be bringing her home on the 30th.
Now the not-so-great news. Nicky is experiencing extreme sciatica and cannot not sit down for more than a few seconds without tremendous pain. As it is now, there is no way she could endure the plane rides (or even the hour-long ride to the airport). The last time she experienced sciatica, it lasted almost six weeks.
As anyone in her shoes would, Nicky wants so desperately to make the trip. And as anyone in my shoes would, I want her by my side when I make the trip. Please join me in prayer that God will heal her in time to travel.
What words do you type to describe a feeling so long in the making that you yourself, when you hit your knees and raised you hands high, couldn't find? When the only sounds were moans and tears?
Maybe instead of finding the words I will share the ones sent to us and you will understand. "USCIS in Port au Prince, Haiti is pleased to inform you that the I-600 petition, which you filed at this office on December 7, 2011 on behalf of Nephtali Lehaut, seeking to qualify her as your immediate relative has been approved"
Approved....4 year and 4 months praying for those words.
Our Butterfly is coming home.
Wednesday is Nephtali's 8th birthday. This is the 5th birthday spent apart from our not-so-little-now Butterfly. The years have gone by and she is not the round faced little goofy toddler that ran into my husband's arms chewing on a crayon and sashaying down a pretend runway to the laughter and clapping of the big girls around her. She is now a little lady. A spunky beautiful little lady so eager to learn new things but so stubborn when she is not interested. So quick to flash her smile and melt your heart, to act a clown to make you smile, and to stop and bow her head in prayer.
Over the years we have learned may things about this amazing child of God. This child that we have prayed for, fought for, and have been blessed to call our daughter. But in truth, as hard it is to say... a little lady of eight. Five birthdays later... and still a stranger in so many ways.
There are so many mysteries to uncover in this bundle of curly black hair, big front teeth, and skinny little arms and legs. What is her favorite color? Will she favor chocolate or vanilla? Is she afraid of spiders like her Papa? Will she be a book worm and soak up stories? What talents has God given her? What giants does she battle when she closes her eyes?
There is a beautiful tapestry that has been woven over the past eight years with perseverance and pain, laughter and love, caution and curiosity, but we haven't been able to be close enough to see those individual threads that have been used in its making, just the big picture it makes when seen from afar.
May 15th, this year, will be the same as it has been the past four years in many ways. Nephtali will go to school, she will play, she will eat her rice and beans, she will be still with her thoughts and dreams, she will close her eyes and fall sleep. Will she even know it's her birthday?
Here in Kansas we'll make Haitian spaghetti, we'll hold hands and thank God for our far away butterfly and pray for her well-being, we'll make a cake and sing happy birthday in hopes that a note or two will be carried on an angel's wings across the ocean to her ears as she drifts off to sleep.
But May 15th this year will also be a little different. This year there is a seed of hope growing - a whisper in the winds from heaven - a stirring in our hearts. A whisper which says this is the last last birthday of hers we will celebrate apart.
We are almost there sweet butterfly. We are almost close enough, precious daughter, to see, to learn, to embrace the colors, the textures, the strengths and weaknesses that make up who you are. We are almost ready to stretch out our arms and hold you tight, never to let go again.
All Glory to God. He creates the most beautiful things and writes the most amazing stories.
Thanks for all the prayers. We do know that the interview on the 9th did happen, but we do not know how it went. We now continue to pray and wait for USCIS to send us an email to see if their confusion is cleared up with the information they were given. It could take a couple weeks to get a reply from them.
Nephtali's 8th birthday is this coming Wednesday. This will be the 5th birthday of hers we've celebrated apart. Praying hard it can be celebrated for two reasons. The first in thanksgiving because of God's goodness at bringing that precious butterfly into this world and the second for an approval to bring her HOME!
It's a little over two weeks since our final documents were submitted. We were expecting 3 or 4 weeks before we heard anything but on Tuesday of last week we received an email from USCIS (US Customs and Immigration) asking for clarification on some dates in the paperwork.
Nephtali's birth father has abandoned them and gone to the Dominic Republic years ago but had since come back to Haiti. Because he was back in the country IBESR (Haitian Social Services) wanted him to go to court to relinquish his rights. When he did so they put that paperwork in with her mother's, making it seem that the mother and father appeared together and making the previously-provided dates appear inconsistent. USCIS asked our lawyer for clarification and a written statement of what happened.
The Lawyer responded quickly with an email explaining the confusion and said she would get them the written statement and another document to support the clarification.
We received an email this morning from USCIS stating that they had scheduled an interview for the birth father and Nephtali on May 9th at 9am. The orphanage director's assistant has responded that she should be able to find the birth father and get him and Nephtali there. Later the lawyer also responded that the written statement would be delivered at that same time.
This is the same heart-wrenching interview that was done last year with Nephtali and her birth mother.
Friends, this interview is not pretty. USCIS is making 100% sure that there isn't the slightest chance the birth family can be restored. With so much trafficking and bribery in the adoption system, it's something they can't avoid. But it can be a very ugly interview. It's broken my heart several times to hear stories of children repeating the questions and answers about them in this process. Please pray for Nephtali's heart as she, again, has to sit in a room listening to one of her birth parents explain how they do not want her or anything to do with her.
Please also pray that Her birth father can be located, has his ID, and says all the right words to satisfy USCIS and that the written statement from the lawyer clarifies everything so that we can receive our final approval in the next week or two.

Airbus cuts A330 orders, claws back Russia deliveries
Stock Markets Apr 08, 2022 04:45PM ET

By Tim Hepher
PARIS (Reuters) -Airbus lost a fifth of outstanding orders for its A330neo long-haul jet in March as the plane's largest customer went through restructuring, but won sales elsewhere for more than 100 of its smaller jets, monthly data showed on Friday.
AirAsia X cancelled 63 of the A330-900 version of the A330neo, an upgrade of the long-established A330 wide-body model, as well as 10 smaller A321neo aircraft, Airbus said.
The European planemaker also said it had delivered 142 planes in the first quarter, up more than 13% on the year.
But the net number of deliveries stood at 140 after two for Aeroflot were cancelled due to sanctions on Russia.
Airbus had counted the two A350 deliveries for Aeroflot in its end-year tally in December as part of its forecast-beating annual deliveries, but the planes did not fly to Russia. Airbus has also cancelled the associated Aeroflot order, data showed.
"Airbus may seek new owners for these assets," Jefferies analyst Chloe Lemarie said in a note.
Industry sources have said Airbus is trying to sell surplus A350s to Air India including three which it claims to have available as a result of a spat with Qatar Airways. The two sides are involved in a bitter court battle over the fate of A350s following the discovery of surface damage in the fleet.
The widely watched delivery totals confirm a range of 140-142 reported this week by Reuters, quoting sources - a higher number than some analysts had anticipated.
CLEANING BACKLOG
The announcement came as Chief Executive Officer Guillaume Faury told a German newspaper that Airbus is sticking to its goal of raising benchmark narrow-body production to 65 a month by summer 2023, and reaffirmed financial goals despite the war in Ukraine.
The A330neo is an upgrade of Airbus' most-sold wide-body jet designed to compete with the Boeing (NYSE:BA) 787 at a lower price.
It clocked up hundreds of orders only to face patchy demand as it was left heavily dependent on troubled AirAsia X.
Airbus has been gradually reducing the presence in its books of orders deemed unlikely to come to fruition while shifting attention to booming sales for the narrow-body A321neo.
"It is always a shock to see a large wide-body cancellation but these aircraft have probably not been counted in investors' delivery forecasts for at least the past three years," Agency Partners analyst Sash Tusa said.
"With the focus on strong demand for the A321neo, it is a good opportunity to take a look at the A330neo orders and clean up the backlog."
In legal testimony on Thursday, Airbus minimised the benefits of its hot-selling A321neo compared to Boeing's 737 MAX 10, in contrast with its own marketing pitch, but analysts described the move as a courtroom tactic in its widening legal dispute with Qatar Airways.
After Friday's rejig of orders, Airbus has 200 undelivered A330neos in its order book versus 265 a month ago. These include 28 for Iran under a nuclear deal that collapsed in 2018, though Tehran is in talks with major powers aimed at reviving the deal.
Airbus said on Friday it had sold a total of 253 jets in the first quarter or a net total of 83 after cancellations. Rival Boeing will issue quarterly data next week.

Time: 12 p.m.
The Lead: The Wesleyan University women's lacrosse team cruised to a commanding 14-7 win over No. 8 Bowdoin College Saturday, marking its first win against the Polar Bears since 2009. It was also the Cardinals' third win over a top-15 team this season. Prior to the start of the game, Wesleyan honored its seven seniors – Rachel Aronow, Leah Giacalone, Meghan Kelly, Liana Mathias, Grace McCann, Becca Phillips and Meredith Smith.
FIRST HALF HIGHLIGHTS:
It was all Wesleyan in the first 30 minutes of action.
Smith scored the first goal of the game in just 1:05 of action, and Aronow put the Cardinals ahead by two at the 15:18 mark.
Following a goal from Kate McAloon of Bowdoin with 13:55 on the clock, Wesleyan responded with a 4-0 run.
Smith started the streak with an unassisted score at the 12:04 mark, and assisted on the next goal by Caitlin Wood '19 with 10:07 to play.
Mathias and Aronow scored the final two goals of the half to give the home team a 6-1 advantage at the break.
The Cardinals' seniors were involved in all six first half goals, as Smith led the way with three points (2g, 1a).
SECOND HALF HIGHLIGHTS:
Smith scored the first goal of the second half as well to increase Wesleyan's lead to six with 25:30 to play.
Both teams exchanged goals within the first 10 minutes of the second half to keep it a five-goal game (8-3) with 20:22 on the clock.
The Cardinals went on a 3-0 run in just over three minutes of action from 15:56-to-12:30 to take a commanding 11-3 lead, essentially putting the game out of reach.
After a Polar Bear score from Kara Finnerty at the 8:37 mark cut the deficit to seven, Wesleyan scored back-to-back goals from Mathias (7:10) and Wood (5:05) to go ahead 13-4.
Bowdoin scored three of the next four goals down the stretch, but it was too late as the Cardinals cruised to the 14-7 victory.
The seniors played a pivotal role in Saturday's win as Smith led all players with five points on four goals and one assist, and Aronow added three goals and one assist. Mathias scored twice, alongside Wood, and Giacalone recorded a game-high five ground balls. Senior goalie Grace McCann was impressive in net and tied a career-high with 12 saves on 19 shot attempts.
Bowdoin was led by Finnerty and Hannah Hirschfeld as they each scored two goals and recorded an assist. Finnerty also picked up five ground balls and caused a game-high five turnovers. Kayli Weiss started in net and allowed six goals on 10 shots, while Erin Morrissey played the second half and made four stops on 12 shots.
BEYOND THE BOX SCORE:
Saturday's win snapped Wesleyan's seven-game losing streak against the Polar Bears, while marking its largest win over Bowdoin since 1982 when the Cardinals won by nine, 16-5.
With five wins in NESCAC play, and still two games to go in the conference schedule, Wesleyan has already surpassed its win total in league play from the previous three seasons.
HEAD COACH KIM WILLIAMS:
"Today our goal was to play inspired and motivated for our senior class, a group that has led in so many ways this year. I thought the team really played well on both sides of the field. Our seniors led the way, setting the tone early and helping us jump out to a strong start. It was a great day for this program, honoring a senior class that has given so much of themselves with a great win against a good Bowdoin team."
The Cardinals return to action Saturday, April 22 and will head to Medford, Mass. to face Tufts. The game is scheduled to start at 12 p.m.

While in town for the St. George Marathon, a delegation from St. George's sister city, Ibigawa, Japan, got a glimpse of healthcare education in America by visiting Dixie State University's Russell C. Taylor Health Science Center on Thursday afternoon.
The 12 individuals representing Ibigawa, including four athletes who will run in the 40th annual St. George Marathon on Saturday, were greeted by Dixie State administration and toured the university's state-of-the-art health sciences facility. Benefiting from its close proximity to Dixie Regional Medical Center and the university's close working relationship with the hospital, the Taylor Health Science Center houses classrooms and labs where students gain active-learning opportunities to practice skills and techniques as they learn about them.
During their tour of the facility, the delegation saw a variety of spaces and labs, as the center houses all of Dixie State's Health Science programs, including Certified Nursing Assistant, Dental Hygiene, Emergency Medical Services, Health & Human Performance, Medical Laboratory Science, Medical Radiography, Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant, Phlebotomy, Respiratory Therapy and Surgical Technology.
Chizu Matsubara, chair of the Department of Education, and Matthew Morin, assistant professor of interdisciplinary arts & sciences, served as translators and demonstrated Dixie State's commitment to global engagement.
Morin presented about the university and city's partnership in which Dixie Sate students travel to Ibigawa and stay with host families as part of their coursework. As part of the program, students create and update the website www.dsuinjapan.com, which features the history, culture and attractions of the city. All website design, photos, videos and content is created by the DSU students in fulfillment of the course's interdisciplinary research and production requirements.

Tiger Woods 7 Strokes Back After Hot Start to Round 3 at 2019 Genesis Open
Mike Chiari@mikechiariTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistFebruary 17, 2019

Tiger Woods managed to make the cut Saturday at the 2019 Genesis Open, and he finished the day seven shots out of the lead at six-under after a red-hot start to his third round.
Because of rain wreaking havoc on the tournament schedule Thursday, Woods finished his second round Saturday and then played seven holes of his third round before darkness halted play at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.
Tiger shot an even-par 71 in the second round overall to complement his one-under 70 in the first round, and he was five-under through seven holes in the third round before the course was cleared.
At the end of play Saturday, Woods sat in a tie for 14th place, while Justin Thomas paced the field at 13-under.
Tiger essentially guaranteed that he would make the cut on his final hole of the second round when he sunk a long birdie putt from the fringe on the par-four ninth:
PGA TOUR @PGATOUR
Another angle of @TigerWoods putt to make the cut. #LiveUnderPar https://t.co/l6bpDie7mr
Woods was right on the cut line at even par for the tournament when he bogeyed his first hole of the day at No. 4. After parring four straight and then carding the much-needed birdie on No. 9, however, he secured a spot in the field for two more rounds.
After just barely making the cut, Tiger got himself in contention by reeling off three birdies and one eagle over his first four holes in the third round.
By starting the third round five-under through four holes, Woods did something he accomplished just one other time over the past 16 years, according to PGA Tour Communications:
PGA TOUR Communications @PGATOURComms
Another birdie for Woods, the second time since 2003 he has opened a round in 5-under through four holes (2009 Buick Open/R2)
After having narrowly made the cut, there wasn't much pressure on Woods to begin his third round. Considering how far he was behind the leaders, few figured Tiger would manage to find his way into contention.
That started to change on his second hole of the round, though, when he got on the green in two and made eagle on the par-five 11th to supplement his birdie on No. 10:
5-wood to 6 feet. 🦅 @TigerWoods is bringing the noise. #LiveUnderPar https://t.co/llrFnUsvvT
Woods followed that up with a long birdie make on the 12th:
🔥 @TigerWoods has started Round 3 of the @GenesisOpen 3-3-3. 🐦-🦅-🐦 👀 #LiveUnderPar https://t.co/090pN4dYDj
His birdie-or-better streak continued on the par-four 13th when he stuck his approach shot on the green and rattled home another birdie putt to move to five-under on the round and six-under for the tournament:
6-iron from 190 yards into the wind. 🎯 @TigerWoods has started Moving Day @GenesisOpen birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie. #LiveUnderPar https://t.co/SmBEH6KDuZ
Woods managed to get three more holes in before darkness rolled in, and he parred them all, which put him in great position to make additional moves Sunday. Considering how average Tiger looked in the first two rounds, few could have expected his outburst to start the third.
Even Woods himself was unhappy with how he was playing, especially on the greens.
According to ESPN.com's Bob Harig, Tiger said he was having a difficult time reading the putts over the first two rounds: "I am not seeing the line, I'm not feeling comfortable because I'm not seeing the line. Consequently, I'm having a hard time starting my ball online because I have a hard time seeing it. Hopefully I can find it in here in the last couple rounds."
Per Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, Tiger also specifically mentioned his putting issues during the first round:
Sam Farmer @LATimesfarmer
Tiger Woods: "Four three-putts is as bad as a human being can putt." Oh, Tiger, you have so much to learn.
Woods' putter problems were suddenly a thing of the past in the third round when the pressure to make the cut had been alleviated.
The 14-time major champion still has an uphill climb when it comes to getting into the mix with Thomas, Adam Scott and others near the top of the leaderboard, but he has a fighting chance provided he can continue what he started in the third round.
Even if Tiger levels off and competes for a top-10 finish rather than a win, it should provide him with a huge boost in just his second tournament of the season as he prepares for bigger ones in the coming weeks and months.

Home USA Health Google Science Fair Winner Develops Fast, Cheap Ebola Test
Google Science Fair Winner Develops Fast, Cheap Ebola Test
Wed January 6, 2016
Seventeen-year-old Science Fair Winner develops a $25, fast, easy test for Ebola infections based on silkworm fibre.
Although the Ebola epidemic seems to be dying down, it is still very important to have a test which is easy to use and can be used in the field. This year's Google Science Fair winner, 17-year-old Olivia Hallisey, a sophomore at Greenwich High School in Connecticut, has done just that, earning her fame and a scholarship.
As she wrote in her proposal, early diagnosis is critical both in treatment and to prevent a new epidemic.
She also wrote about other potential applications, saying, "ELISA-based diagnostic for other diseases including HIV, Lyme Disease, Yellow Fever, Dengue Fever and certain cancers, was prompted by the devastating loss of life in Africa during the most recent 2014 Ebola outbreak. The consequences will be far-reaching; the concentration of fatalities in stricken areas has left many children orphaned, and the socioeconomic fabric of entire villages destroyed."
17year-old Olivia Hallisey's new inexpensive ebola test.
"School closures have impacted over five million children, risking permanent educational dislocation and high risk behaviors such as child labor."
"Winning [the google Science Fair] would enable me to continue to develop my Ebola Assay Card as a multiple disease diagnostic assay, and to make a meaningful impact on global health through the early detection of often fatal diseases. I would know that my research saved lives and changed futures."
Her creation, made with advice from numerous medical researchers, uses a few drops of human fluid applied to a test paper similar to pregnancy tests and can detect Ebola antigens in 30 minutes at an individual cost of $25.
[media.giphy.com]
Current tests require laboratory conditions and continuous refrigeration of samples, a difficult problem in a hot third-world country which results in delayed treatment and isolation of patients.
The winner of the Google prize receives a $50,000 scholarship for her entry, "TEMPERATURE-INDEPENDENT, PORTABLE, AND RAPID FIELD DETECTION OF EBOLA VIA A SILK-DERIVED LATERAL-FLOW SYSTEM."
