Decontamination Process Reduces MRSA Infections By 40 Percent
On Behalf of Brian McKeen | Jul 9, 2013 | Medical Malpractice
Deadly bacteria like MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, kill more people every year than AIDS, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The problem is especially serious because the majority of these infections occur in hospitals and nursing homes, where patients are medically vulnerable. The medical community has struggled to find ways to combat these "superbugs," but new research has uncovered a great method to fight MRSA and other bacteria.
A study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that routine decontamination of hospital patients reduces the chances of MRSA infection by about 40 percent.
More than 40 U.S. hospitals participated in the study, which involved the daily bathing of patients using antiseptic wipes and administering a bacteria-fighting nose swab twice a day. About 70,000 patients were part of this expansive study.
Generally, doctors are delighted by the study's findings. The process prevents one bloodstream infection for every 54 patients that are decontaminated. Now, researchers must find efficient and cost-effective ways for hospitals and nursing homes to incorporate this process, especially in settings where the patients are particularly vulnerable.
If you or a loved one has suffered a serious infection from MRSA or another form of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as C. Difficile, contact an experienced medical malpractice lawyer to discuss your legal options.

The first of a series of case studies was launched on the Magna Carta Legacy website. The website is an initiative of the Magna Carta Committee, made possible by a grant the Magna Carta 800 Committee.
The Magna Carta Legacy website celebrates important legal ideas found in the world's most famous legal document, the Magna Carta. The website explains key ideas from the Magna Carta and contains international case studies which trace how ideas from the Magna Carta are recognised in legal systems today.
The 800th Anniversary of the grant of the Magna Carta on 15 June 2015 is the ideal moment to look at the way in which the law and government work in the 21st Century. The purpose of the website is to educate about the law and to explain how ideas central to the Magna Carta are protected or enshrined in law.
The section exploring important principles and themes of the Magna Carta is live. Case studies on Constitutional Change in Fiji, Limits on the Power of Government in Australia, Access to Justice in India, and the Rule of Law and Independence of the Judiciary in Uganda are soon to follow!


The theme this year focuses on William Shakespeare and the Age of Queen Elizabeth I.
The co-directors of the festival – the wife-and-husband team of singers Cheryl Bensman Rowe and Paul Rowe (below, in a photo by Katrin Talbot and signaled in the answers by the initials CBR and PR) took time out from the hectic preparations to answer an email Q&A with The Ear.
CBR: We chose the theme to honor the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare and the musical connections in his plays and sonnets, which also reflect the world of Queen Elizabeth I.
Audiences will hear many works of famous Elizabethan composers including Orlando Gibbons, Thomas Tallis, Anthony Holborne, John Dowland and others.
How does Elizabethan music differ from its counterparts in, say, Italy, France and Spain. What is the historical origin and role of the music from that era?
The lute song also originated in Italy but was taken to new poetic heights by John Dowland and his compatriots.
The English composers did create a unique style of sacred music with William Byrd (below top) and Thomas Tallis (below bottom) as the greatest of these Elizabethan composers.
What music and composers of the era have been most neglected and least neglected by historians and performers? What big things should the public know about Elizabethan music?
PR: Audience members may be less familiar with the vocal and instrumental consort music of this era. Many of these pieces were not intended for public performance, but were played as home or parlor entertainment. The pieces were designed to be very flexible and could be played with a variety of voices and instruments.
The reign of Queen Elizabeth I (below) with her active encouragement of the arts was a peak of artistic achievement in the long history of the British Empire. Music, poetry, dance and theater all thrived for more than 20 years and produced some of the greatest masterworks of Western culture, including the plays of Shakespeare.
Can you tell us about the All-Festival concert program on Saturday night, July 16?
CBR: The All-Festival Concert will feature MEMF students and faculty performing a new program created exclusively for MEMF by Grant Herried (below), "Shakespeare's Musical World: A Day in the Life of Elizabethan London.
The program is organized by times of the day with speeches from different plays of Shakespeare. Musical reflections include several wonderful pieces by Orlando Gibbons including "The Cries of London," "O Come Let Us Sing Unto the Lord" and a setting of the "Magnificat" by Orlando Gibbons, "Music Divine" by Thomas Tomkins, a motet by Thomas Tallis, and other works by Thomas Weelkes, Thomas Morely, John Coperario and John Dowland.
Retired UW-Madison history professor John W. Barker will be giving the 6:30 p.m. pre-concert lecture on "Queen Elizabeth I: The Politician" in the Elvehjem Building of the Chazen Museum of Art.
Are there other sessions, guest lectures and certain performers or performances that you especially recommend for the general public?
PR: We would like to encourage everyone to see all the concerts and experience the entire week. It's like stepping back in time to a different era—a living history lesson complete with an authentic sound track.
Classical music: Let us now praise churches for providing concert venues.
"Two of your recent posts sing the praises of Wisconsin Public Radio.
"May I also suggest that we thank area churches?
"Not only do they provide concert venues for various groups, but their active promotion of music more generally — choirs, organ accompaniment — throughout the year is worth a blessing.
"On Christmas Eve, we went to the First Congregational United Church of Christ (below, in a photo by Kent Sweitzer of the Madison Bach Musicians performing its annual Baroque holiday concert) to hear an abbreviated Nine Lessons and Carols.
The Ear couldn't agree more and is happy to comply.
Quite a few churches or church-like organizations come immediately to mind.
There is Grace Episcopal Church (below), on the Capitol Square, which is where the Wisconsin Chamber Choir held its concert this year of various settings of the Magnificat and which hosts the FREE Grace Presents series.
There is the Immanuel Lutheran Church (below), on the near east side, that hosts the Willy Street Chamber Players and the Madison Bach Musicians.
There is Holy Wisdom Monastery (below) in Middleton, which holds a variety of concerts and hosts the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society in the summer.
And even though it is now a landmark building rather than an active place of worship, there is the historic Gates of Heaven Synagogue in James Madison Park, where the Wisconsin Baroque Ensemble performs.
The Ear is sure there are many more that he is leaving out.
So he asks readers to please leave the names of other churches and concerts or musical events in the COMMENT section.


A film by Indonesian newcomer director Mahesa Desaga, Nunggu Teka (Waiting to Arrive), was named winner of a short film competition in the 2017 Australia-Indonesia Cinema Festival (FSAI) at XXI Senayan City cinema in South Jakarta on Sunday.
The 14-minute film follows a mother who lives alone in an old traditional house. While waiting for her only son to come home during the Idul Fitri celebration, she prepares his favorite food dishes.
Mahesa, who hails from Malang, East Java, said the story was based on his personal experience. "I am now at the age where I often 'act busy'. When my mother asks where I am, I usually answer that I'm busy with work. Then, I thought, how does my mother feel about this?" he said.
He added that the film did not intend to put a conclusion to the story. "The audience must have their own background with their own mothers. They will perceive [the ending] on their own," the Brawijaya University alumni said.
The film marked the first creation of 88 Mil Production, which was established by Mahesa alongside other members of Malang-based film communities in 2015.
One of the competition's judges, Kamila Andini, described Nunggu Teka as a film that can touch the viewers' feelings. "It has a universal theme about a mother, while at the same time it is authentically Indonesian due to the setting in Lebaran," she said.
Kamila added that the film was consistent from start to finish.
As the winner of the competition, Nunggu Teka is being considered to be screened in the Melbourne International Film Festival slated for August. Mahesa said that he would use this opportunity to learn more about Australian films, as well as introduce Lebaran culture in Indonesia to the audience.
Aside from Nunggu Teka, a one-take film by Happy Salma, Ibu dan Anak Perempuannya (A Mother and A Daughter), also received an award at the competition. Adapted from Happy's novel, Pulang (Going Home), it has been recognized by both viewer's choice and jury's special mention awards due to its "great script writing, superb acting and elegant performance", as well as its meaningful ending, said Kamila.

Pfizer drops out of dementia drug race
From our spring 2018 issue of Care and Cure magazine, learn more about the pharmaceutical company Pfizer pulling out of neuroscience research.
In January, news hit the headlines that pharmaceutical company Pfizer is pulling out of neuroscience research.
This means that it will no longer work on potential treatments for dementia including Alzheimer's and other conditions such as Parkinson's.
Pfizer came to this decision after a number of setbacks in its research. This included the failure in 2012 of the drug bapineuzumab to help people in the mild to moderate stages of Alzheimer's. Dr James Pickett, Head of Research at Alzheimer's Society, described the move as, 'A heavy blow to the estimated 46.8 million people currently living with dementia across the globe.'
This is not a reason to lose hope. Financial giant KPMG thinks other companies are unlikely to give up, saying, 'It's too big a market to ignore. People are going to continue to go after it despite roadblocks.'
Other pharmaceutical companies have since come forward to pledge their continued involvement in dementia research. For example, Lilly said that the last 30 years of hard work has taught it to better understand the condition and inspired new therapies to test. The US National Institutes of Health invested an estimated £2.9 billion into dementia research in 2017 alone, triple the amount it spent in 2013.
But it's not all about money and markets. Finding new ways to treat and cure the condition is an international effort, not only of pharmaceutical companies but of scientists working in labs in universities and hospitals.
For example, large co-operative research initiatives such as the EU-run AMYPAD, EPAD and MOPEAD are recruiting clinical study members from across Europe with the help of universities, hospitals and research institutes. These types of studies will help us learn more about why people develop dementia and why mild cognitive impairment becomes dementia in some people but not others.
'As we make progress in our understanding of the diseases that cause dementia, we hope pharma will unite with us to turn breakthroughs into treatments that could improve the lives of millions.'
At Alzheimer's Society, we continue to fund £10 million of biomedical and care-focused research each year. We have committed to raising £50 million to establish the UK Dementia Research Institute. We set this up together with Alzheimer's Research UK and the Medical Research Council to bring the brightest research minds together in excellent research facilities in the UK to tackle dementia.
Dr Pickett said:
'Every three seconds someone in the world develops dementia and, with this number set to rise, there has never been a more important time for such life-saving research. As we make progress in our understanding of the diseases that cause dementia, we hope pharma will unite with us to turn breakthroughs into treatments that could improve the lives of millions.'

Residential Helipad Coming to Western Loudoun?
written by Jeanine Martin September 2, 2014
In December of last year Chuck Kuhn, President and CEO of JK Moving company, bought Egypt Farm in western Loudoun county. His purchase included an old farm house and 540 acres on Watermill Road in Philomont, the North Fork area. According to Loudoun property records he paid $5,179,700 for the land. He hopes to put a helipad in the middle of those 540 acres but the idea has not been popular with the neighbors. [read_more]
Kuhn intends to purchase an adjacent 400+ acres. He will place most of the nearly 1,000 acres into a conservation easement to protect the land from development and to reduce his taxes. He is building a 7 bedroom home on the property to accommodate his nine children. The house is expected to be completed next year. JK Moving is the third largest moving company in the US. Kuhn currently commutes to his office in Gaithersburg, Maryland, at least 80 minutes by car. Eventually he will move to his company's office in Sterling. To shorten his current commute to 11 minutes Kuhn intends to commute by helicopter. To do that he has applied to Loudoun county for permission to build a helipad on his property for his Eurocopter EC130.
If Kuhn is granted permission by the board of supervisors it will be the first residential helipad in Loudoun county. Currently there are only two such pads in Loudoun, one at the Loudoun hospital center and one in Bluemont owned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Residents living near Egypt Farm are strenuously objecting to the helipad which will be built in the middle of Kuhn's 540 acres. Kuhn's neighbors have a Facebook page opposing the helipad and a petition to be sent to the board of supervisors. It is a very rural farm area, residents say a helicopter would disrupt the peaceful nature of the area and would spook their cattle and horses.
"We strongly oppose a helipad on Egypt farm," Purcellville resident Louis Boink wrote. "We have cattle and horses, all of which will be disturbed by low flying helicopters."
"NO HELIPAD!" wrote Roy Beach, who said he was also a neighbor of Egypt Farm. "Upon acquiring Egypt Farm, Mr. Kuhn repeatedly flew over my house, spooking my horses and creating a noisy disturbance. . . . And I fear it would negatively impact my property value."
Kuhn says he has also received support for his purchase of Egypt Farm because of the easement which means the property will remain as a working farm.
"The good news is we have a great number of supporters," Kuhn said. He plans to win more.
Kuhn intends to talk with the community to share his plans for his property including the helipad.
Loudoun board of supervisors will hold a public hearing before making a decision on Kuhn's special exemption. It's likely the hearing will be in November although it has not yet been scheduled.
More here and here.

US Bans All Cotton and Tomato Products from China's Xinjiang Region | Donald Trump News
U.S. Customs and Border Protection allege the goods are manufactured using the forced labor of detained Uyghur Muslims.
The United States is imposing a region-wide ban on all cotton and tomato products from China's western Xinjiang region over allegations they are subjected to forced labor by detained Uyghur Muslims, a announced Wednesday the CBP (Customs and Border Protection).
The action covers raw fibers, clothing and textiles made from cotton grown in Xinjiang, as well as the region's tomato-based food products and seeds. The ban, known as the suspension order, also applies to products processed or made in third countries, CBP officials said at a press briefing.
The agency, which is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), estimates that about $ 9 billion in cotton products and $ 10 million in tomato products were imported into the United States during of the past year.
DHS Acting Deputy Secretary Kenneth Cuccinelli said the ordinance sends a message to importers that "DHS will not tolerate any forced labor" and that companies should eradicate Xinjiang products from their supply chains.
In December, the US Congress passed the bipartisan Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which assumes that all products made in Xinjiang are made with forced labor and therefore banned under the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, unless that the commissioner of the CBP certifies the contrary.
The move is the latest by the administration of outgoing US President Donald Trump to harden the US stance against Beijing in the administration's final days, imposing economic sanctions that would make it harder for President-elect Joe Biden to ease tensions. U.S.-Chinese after taking office on Jan.20.
The move follows the ban on cotton products from China's largest producer, Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC). Both will have a significant impact on cotton production in Xinjiang, which produces up to 20 percent of the world's supply of the raw material.
CBP officials said about 43 consignments of cotton-based products have been held up at U.S. ports of entry since the XPCC ban was announced. US clothing manufacturers have in the past criticized a broader ban as unenforceable.
The United Nations cites what they say are credible reports that a million Muslims held in camps have been put to work in Xinjiang and religious leaders, activist groups and others have said crimes against humanity, including genocide, were being perpetrated there.
China denies mistreating Uyghurs and says the camps are vocational training centers needed to fight extremism. Beijing dismissed the forced labor allegations as "false news … to suppress Chinese companies and China."

Marcabru fou un trobador que va viure en el segle XII; la seva activitat poètica pot situar-se aproximadament entre els anys 1130 i 1150.

Era originari d'Autvilar, a la regió de Gascunya i d'extracció humil. Sembla que es dedicà professionalment a la poesia, exercint com a joglar de les seves pròpies composicions. Fou protegit del també trobador i poderós senyor feudal Guillem X d'Aquitània, fill del també trobador Guillem IX de Poitiers, i d'Alfons VII de Castella i Lleó, en la cort del qual romangué durant uns deu anys. Encara que s'hagin conservat dues vidas de Marcabrú, amb prou feines aporten dades biogràfiques rellevants. Rebé l'àlies de Panperdut a causa d'un sirventès que li dirigí un tal Audric del Vilar, a qui Marcabrú respongué amb igual o major virulència.

Es conserven 42 poemes seus, dels quals quatre amb la música. La seva obra es caracteritza pel to moralista: es queixa contínuament de la corrupció dels costums, del triomf del fals'amor (fals amor) sobre el fi'amor (amor cortès). Era coneguda la seva misogínia. La seva és una obra difícil, no per la seva adscripció al trobar clus, sinó per la seva relació amb la poesia popular de l'època, per complet desconeguda en els nostres dies.

Notebook: Gators close to full strength for first time this season
Robbie Andreu
Florida linebacker Jonathan Greenard (58) riles up the crowd last Saturday during the game against Auburn at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. [Matt Pendleton/Correspondent]
Starting Florida defensive ends Jon Greenard and Jabari Zuniga have practiced without incident this week and are on schedule to play in Saturday's game against Georgia, UF coach Dan Mullen said Wednesday.
"They've been out there practicing. It's pretty good to have them out there," Mullen said on the SEC coaches' teleconference. "We limited a little bit of reps on Monday and put up more (Tuesday). They've progressed very nicely. We expect them to be ready to go play."
Greenard and Zuniga have both been out with a high ankle sprains. Zuniga missed the last five games, while Greenard sat out the last two.
Slot wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who missed the last six games with an injured shoulder, returned to practice last week and also is expected to play in Saturday's game.
"KT looks good," senior wide receiver Van Jefferson said. "(Tuesday) he was going crazy out there. It's like he never left. It's been great to have him back. I think he is going to be a real big factor in the game on Saturday. I love having him on the other side of me because he is a mismatch for anybody that is guarding him."
With the return of Toney, Greenard and Zuniga, the Gators are the closest to being at full strength for the first time this season.
"I'd love to see what type of team we can be with our full complement of players," Mullen said.
'Dogs healthy up front
With the help of a bye week last week, the Bulldogs have returned to full health on the offensive line, which is one of the team's strengths.
Coach Kirby Smart had high praise for the Florida defensive front his offensive linemen will be facing Saturday.
"They're excited for the opportunity to play against what is an elite front — quickness, speed, pass rush, high-motor guys, a lot of twitch guys," Smart said. "So, they're going to have to rise to the occasion because they're going to have to go against one of the most productive fronts in the country."
CBs healthy this time
The Gators played Georgia last year without starting cornerbacks Marco Wilson and CJ Henderson. Wilson injured his knee in the second game and missed the season, while Henderson went down in warmups before last year's game.
Wilson and Henderson are good to go this time.
"Just going to be great corner play out there," Wilson said. "With both of us out there, it's going to be a great opportunity to challenge their wide receivers."
The Gators were not much of a challenge in last year's game without Wilson and Henderson. UGA quarterback Jake Fromm threw for 240 yards and three touchdowns in the Bulldogs' 36-17 win.
"That was hard," Henderson said. "That was a bad day for me. Bad luck, I guess. I hope this game goes better. We're preparing well."

I hope no player has a career nor season ending injury, however, I would not mind seeing Fromm have to take a locker room nap before the start of the second quarter. More than that, it'd be just freakin' epic to send the leg humping butt sniffing turd eaters home with their heads down and tails tucked. I am picking the Gators by 10, hoping that I am correct in my prognostication that the Gators will start peaking Saturday, and will, unlike against LSU, maintain their gaps, keep containment on the run, and take the ball away at least once while not turning it over. I would like to see us at least try returning some punts and kick-offs. Other concern, not that I'm an expert, is Trey Dean in his position, and our tendency to give up 3rd and forever.
GatorNutz October 30, 2019 At 5:11 pm
Small correction Robbie…Henderson went out early in the first quarter with a neck/shoulder stinger.
I can't wait for Saturday afternoon to get here. It's going to be interesting to see how the Gators do in this game with a full complement of defensive players AND a passing game the Dawgs will have to respect… for a change!
GO GATORS!!!
PVBGator October 30, 2019 At 7:57 pm
Georgia is getting healthy as well. Sounds like their 6'5″ receiver Cager may be back. We really need Greenard and Zuniga to keep Fromm uncomfortable so he can't dial in on this dude.
PVB…You got that riight. Cager's a grad transfer from Miami. Might be their top go-to guy if he's healthy–especiallg on 3rd and long. Big play maker.
Ocalarob October 31, 2019 At 6:41 am
Big game no doubt. Win and you control the east. Lose you you are out of the race ( almost). We need everybody back, but also playing at a high level. I am still somewhat concerned about the defense and giving up big plays especially on third down. Go Gators!


You've heard the phrase "more than meets the eye"? It's when there is more to something than you first see. So, when you buy a house, you don't want to sign the papers and then find out that there was "more than meets the eye" under the floorboards. Or, on the positive side, sometimes people have hidden gifts and talents that you don't see at first glance, so there is "more than meets the eye" about them.
The phrase is important because when you think of the world we live in, there is actually more to it than meets the eye.
It's important to remember that Paul was writing to Christians. This is not a prayer that they would come to Christ, but that they as believers would see that the resources they have. I think this means that many of us don't see what we could see…if we only prayed that God would open our eyes, and the eyes of those we love.
First, the great hope that they have. This is heaven. And how many Christians live nearly every day without thinking about heaven and the joy that awaits them there.
And second, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints. Pay attention now – This is not our inheritance – this is God's inheritance. Yes we have a great inheritance ourselves – that's the hope we have in the gospel, but he also wanted us to see what God's inheritance of us means to Him. Here's how he puts it – we are His riches. Glory to God. You can think on that for the next three years. Sum it up this way though – Christian, he loves you a lot. You are part of God's riches.
And third, Paul prayed that these believers would know the immeasurable greatness of God's power toward those who believe. Paul says that this great power is the power that raised Jesus from the dead…available to us…the immeasurable greatness of God's power toward those who believe.
And so, moved by Paul's example, it's been probably about two decades that I've been praying this prayer out of Ephesians 1 for myself and for those I love, and I invite you to join me, because I don't know about you…but I'd like to see a few chariots of fire.

During the past few days, parts of Southwest were taken over by masses of people due to all the events related to the Inauguration of President Barack Obama. I attended some of the events, namely the We Are One concert at the Lincoln Memorial and the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol. Here are some photos I took during these events.
The MSNBC studio on the National Mall started broadcasting on Saturday, January 17th from 7th Street & Jefferson Drive. The studio has a window so passersby can see the broadcasters and guests, and it offers great views of the Capitol building from inside.
The We Are One concert, which officially kicked off inaugural activities, was held at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday. There were estimates by CNN that 750,000 people attended the free concert. I was standing east of 17th Street, which was outside of the security zone. Jumbotrons were installed so the large crowd could see the concert.
Several streets north of the SE-SW freeway were closed to vehicles on Inauguration Day. This photo was taken along D Street, in front of L'Enfant Plaza, where tour buses were parked and a crowd of people were trying to find their way to the Washington Monument around 10:30 AM, since by then the security zone at the National Mall was already closed. The WBJ reports that the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station was one of the more heavily used stations since it was one of the closest open stations to the Mall. According to a WMATA press release, January 20th broke the record for the amount of people who used Metrorail...1.12 million riders.
This photo was taken after the President gave his inaugural address and the crowd near the Washington Monument were leaving the National Mall. The Washington Post reports that an estimated 1.8 million people were gathered at the National Mall for the swearing-in ceremony, the largest crowd ever on the Mall.
National Guard troops were stationed in several spots to help with crowd control. This Humvee was parked along Maine Avenue near the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
This photo was taken at the intersection of 7th Street and G Street looking north on 7th, as spectators from the swearing-in ceremony were making their way back to buses or other modes of transit. Visible in the background of this photo is the new facade of Constitution Center.

Eberhard Bosslet's works evoke extremely strong emotions. Here, his works were installed in spaces wrested from an architectural complex where construction had been interrupted in the '30s, and which had been intended to accommodate the faithful visiting the adjacent Scala Santa, or holy staircase, one of the most popular Christian sites in Rome. The extremely high, powerful walls were left unplastered, the stones and bricks clearly visible. This naked architectural structure surrounding Bosslet's technological objects almost neutralized their dangerous, disturbing aspect. But then one realized that the intrinsic quality of the emotions they evoked was actually reinforced by their juxtaposition to the setting, to those bare and "sacred" spaces.

PUBLISHED ONDecember 10, 2021 5:36 AMByCookie Monster
Besides discussing about Apple's upcoming mixed reality headsets, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also shared his predictions on other products such as the AirPods Pro 2, Apple Watch and iPhone SE.
For the second-generation AirPods Pro, Kuo says it is likely to launch in Q4 2022. Kuo's July report stated that the AirPods Pro 2 will have an "innovative" health tracking feature, which Bloomberg claims to be enabled by new motion sensors. The WSJ reported in October that future AirPods may come with temperature sensors to measure the user's core body temperature from inside the ear, and motion sensors to track the user's posture.
For the Apple Watch, Kuo predicts that the 2022 Apple Watch lineup will consist of the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE, and a new "extreme sports" model. Bloomberg reported in March that Apple is considering to introduce a rugged Watch model with rubberised casing. The Apple Watch Series 8 is expectted to come with a blood glucose monitoring feature.
For the iPhone SE, Kuo expects the 2022 model to have 3GB RAM and launch in the first half of the year. Display analyst Ross Young wrote in April that the LCD display of the 2022 iPhone SE will remain at 4.7-inches and may come with 5G connectivity. The 2023 iPhone SE is expected to have a bigger display and 4GB RAM. Ross claimed the 2023 iPhone SE will sport a hole-punch display.

\section{Introduction}

Recently, importance of entangled states
of multipartite system
has been realized not only as a fundamental concept of quantum
mechanics
\cite{bib:GHZ} but also as an essential resource for quantum information
processing \cite{bib:QSS}.
 Up to now, there have already been several experimental
reports on 3- and 4-particle entangled
states \cite{bib:dik,bib:pan,bib:GHZexp}.
One of the important measures
to analyze how close the produced quantum state is
to the desired maximally entangled
state is the fidelity\cite{bib:fid}, i.e., the
overlap with the desired entangled state.
For bipartite systems and multipartite systems, the fidelity is used as
a criterion for nonseparability
and distillability of the so-called Werner state or Werner-type state,
 i.e., a maximally entangled state mixed with the completely depolarized
state\cite{bib:sepadis}.
In the classification of mixed three-qubit states\cite{bib:class},
it was shown that one of tripartite witnesses
can be used to
detect a state that does not belong to the
biseparable class. This
witness is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal W}= \frac{1}{2}\mbox{$1 \hspace{-1.0mm}  {\bf l}$}-P_{\rm GHZ}, \label{witness}
\end{eqnarray}
where $P_{\rm GHZ}$ is the projector onto a GHZ state.
When ${\rm Tr}[{\cal W}\ \rho]<0$, the state
$\rho$ lies outside of the biseparable class and
has genuinely tripartite entanglement.
Since ${\rm Tr}[{\cal W}\ \rho]$ is written as
$1/2-f$ using the fidelity $f$ to the GHZ state, the
fidelity is useful to determine to which
class a state belongs\cite{bib:witope}.

As can be seen from these examples, it is important to
determine the fidelity $f$ of experimentally
produced states from the observed data.
Systematic arguments about the possible fidelity values
allowed by experimental data for multipartite system will
be helpful to the experimental realization of
various applications in quantum information processing.
The main purpose of this paper is to give a formula for
the possible range of the fidelity value
in the simplest case, i.e., the case where an expectation value of a
single operator is given as experimental data.
We present a class of observables which are suitable for
determining the range of the fidelity of a state
to the $n$-partite GHZ state $|\Phi_n\rangle$.
 The class is determined
through the expansion of the projection operator
$|\Phi_n\rangle\langle \Phi_n|$ into
the sum of direct products of Pauli operators for
each party.
Given an
expectation value of an observable belonging to the class,
the formula gives a lower bound and
an upper bound for the fidelity.
As an example, we analyze
 the GHZ-state
preparation  experiment by Pan {\it et al}. \cite{bib:pan}
and show that the fidelity to the GHZ state is larger than
$0.71$. This indicates that
the observed state does not belong to the
biseparable class and
has genuinely tripartite entanglement.

In addition to the argument of what kind of states are possible
under the constraints of experimental data,
there also is a problem of determining which state is most likely
under the constraints. Such problems of estimation
 for
bipartite system has been discussed
 along the maximum entropy principle\cite{bib:Jaynes}.
Application of only this principle sometimes leads to an
estimated state that possesses
stronger entanglement than the minimum entanglement that is compatible
with the measured data.
Based on the additional assumption that the realization
of a stronger entanglement is less
realistic,
Horodecki {\it et al}. introduced a new constraint, i.e., minimization of
entanglement\cite{bib:Horodecki} in applying the maximum entropy principle.
They thus obtained an estimated state that has the minimum entanglement.
Rajagopal derived the same state with a different assumption together with the
the maximum entropy principle, i.e., to minimize the variance of a Bell
operator\cite{bib:Rajagopal}.
Since then,
much attention has been paid\cite{bib:connect} to this problem.
Here we will show that, in multipartite systems,
applying the minimum variance principle
to the operators belonging to the above class gives the
states with the minimum fidelity that is allowed by the
constraints. This is a generalization of Rajagopal's
results to multipartite systems, and reveals why and
in what cases the minimum variance leads to small entanglement.

This paper is organized as follows.
In Sec.~\ref{sec:desired},
we take a GHZ state as the state of interest
and present the class of operators by
decomposing the projector into the sum
of operators forming a commutative group.
In Sec.~\ref{sec:ineq}, we derive
a simple formula that gives a lower bound and
an upper bound for the fidelity.
In Sec.~\ref{sec:exp}, we apply the formula to analyze
 the GHZ-state
preparation  experiment by Pan {\it et al}. \cite{bib:pan},
 and show that the fidelity to the GHZ state is larger than
$0.71$.
Sec.~\ref{sec:vari} deals with the state estimation problem
based on the minimum variance principle.
Sec.~\ref{conclusion} concludes this paper.

\section{Decomposition of projector and class of
observables}\label{sec:desired}

In order to discuss the fidelity,
we have to specify one state of interest.
We have referred to the state as the {\it desired state}.
we take $n$-partite GHZ state $|\Phi_n\rangle$ as the desired state,
which is defined as
\begin{eqnarray
|\Phi_n\rangle:=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|+_1;+_2; \cdots ;+_n\rangle+
|-_1;-_2;\cdots;-_n\rangle).
\end{eqnarray
In the following discussion, we consider the fidelity of the state
$\rho$
to $|\Phi_n\rangle$,
i.e.,
$f:={\rm Tr}[\rho\ |\Phi_n\rangle\langle\Phi_n|]$.
The projection operator $|\Phi_n\rangle\langle\Phi_n|$ can be expanded as
\begin{eqnarray
|\Phi_n\rangle\langle\Phi_n|&=&
\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}\Biggl(\prod^{n}_{j=1}(\sigma^j_x+i\sigma^j_y)+
\prod^{n}_{j=1}(\sigma^j_x-i\sigma^j_y)\nonumber\\
&&+\prod^{n}_{j=1}(I^j+\sigma^j_z)+
\prod^{n}_{j=1}(I^j-\sigma^j_z)\Biggl)\nonumber\\
&=&(1/2^{n})(O_0+O_1+\cdots+O_{2^{n}-1}),\label{NFO}
\end{eqnarray
where $O_{p}$ is defined by
\begin{eqnarray}
O_{p}:=\prod_{j=1}^{n}(\sigma_x^j)^{b_0}(\sigma_z^j)^{b_j},\label{element}
\end{eqnarray}
where the $n$-bit sequence $b_0b_1\cdots b_{n-1}$
is the binary representation of
$p$, $b_n=\sum_{j=1}^{n-1}b_j$,  since
the terms with odd parity for $b_1\cdots b_{n}$
vanish in the above expansion.
The superscript $j$ of the Pauli operators
denotes particle $j$.
It is easy
to see that $O_pO_q=O_{p\oplus q}$, where
$p\oplus q$ is the bitwise XOR of $p$ and $q$.
Hence the set of $2^n$ operators $\{O_p\}$ forms
a commutative group isomorphic to $(Z_2)^n$.
We denote this
commutative group as
$\Lambda_n$.
The operator $O_0$ is the identity operator for
the $2^n$-dimensional space, and the other
operators $O_1,\cdots,O_{2^{n}-1}$
have two eigenvalues, $\pm 1$.
All elements of
$\Lambda_n$ take $|\Phi_n\rangle$ as an eigenstate
with eigenvalue 1.

For $n=2$, the above expansion is explicitly written as follows,
\begin{eqnarray
|\Phi_2\rangle\langle\Phi_2|&&=(1/4)
(I^1I^2+\sigma^1_z\sigma^2_z+i\sigma^1_y i\sigma^2_y+\sigma^1_x\sigma^2_x),
\label{2-fo}
\end{eqnarray
where $I$ represents the identity operator for
the $2$-dimensional space.
For $n=3$, it is written as
\begin{eqnarray
&&|\Phi_3\rangle\langle \Phi_3|=(1/8)
({\cal O}_{III}+{\cal O}_{Izz}+{\cal O}_{zIz}+{\cal O}_{zzI}\nonumber\\
&&\quad
+{\cal O}_{xxx}+{\cal O}_{xyy}+{\cal O}_{yxy}+{\cal O}_{yyx}
),\label{3-fo}
\end{eqnarray
where we have used the simplified notations as
${\cal O}_{III}:={ I}^1I^2I^3,\
{\cal O}_{Izz}:={ I}^1\sigma^2_z\sigma^3_z,\
{\cal O}_{zIz}:=\sigma^1_z{ I}^2\sigma^3_z,\
{\cal O}_{zzI}:=\sigma^1_z\sigma^2_z{ I}^3,\
{\cal O}_{xxx}:=\sigma^1_x\sigma^2_x\sigma^3_x,\
{\cal O}_{xyy}:=\sigma^1_x i\sigma^2_y i\sigma^3_y,\
{\cal O}_{yxy}:=i\sigma^1_y\sigma^2_x i\sigma^3_y$,
and
${\cal O}_{yyx}:=i\sigma^1_y i\sigma^2_y\sigma^3_x$.

Now let us consider the problem of determining the
fidelity by measuring the expectation value of
an observable. The most direct approach is, of course,
to measure $\langle|\Phi_n\rangle\langle\Phi_n|\rangle$,
which will be done by conducting $2^n-1$ different
correlation measurements to determine
$\langle O_j\rangle\ (j=1,2,\cdots,2^n-1)$.
Our interest here is how we can deduce the information
about the fidelity from observables that can be measured
by much smaller number of correlation measurements.
In what follows, we give a formula to derive an inequality for
the fidelity from an expectation value of an observable
belonging to the class ${\cal C}_n$ defined as follows.

{\it Class} ${\cal C}_n$:  An observable ${\cal A}$ belongs to ${\cal C}_n$
if and only if ${\cal A}$ is a linear combination of
operators $Q_1, Q_2, \cdots , Q_m\in \Lambda_n$ with
positive coefficients, and the set
$\{Q_1, Q_2, \cdots , Q_m\}$ forms a
system of generators for $\Lambda_n$.

The class is determined through $\Lambda_n$, and hence
determined by the desired state $|\Phi_n\rangle$.

The minimum cardinal number of systems of generators for $\Lambda_n$
is $n$.
To see this,
suppose there are only
$l(<n)$ generators.
In this case, however,
they can generate at most
$\sum^l_{i=0} {_l}C_i=2^{l}(<2^{n})$
kinds of elements of $\Lambda_n$ due to the property of the Pauli matrices.
An example of a system of generators for $\Lambda_n$ is
\begin{eqnarray
\{O_{x,x,\cdots,x},\overbrace{O_{z,I,I,\cdots,z},
O_{I,z,I,I,\cdots,z},\cdots,O_{I,I,\cdots,z,z}}^{n-1}\},
\end{eqnarray
where
$O_{x,x,\cdots,x}:=\sigma^1_x\sigma^2_x\cdots\sigma^n_x$,
$O_{I,z,I,\cdots,z}:={ I}^1\sigma^2_z{ I}^3\cdots\sigma^n_z$,
and so on\cite{bib:Buzek}.
This system of generators for $\Lambda_n$,
indeed, generates all $2^n$ elements of
$\Lambda_n$ with the help of Eq.~(\ref{element}).

As for $\Lambda_2$,
examples of a system of generators are
$\{\sigma^1_x\sigma^2_x,\ \sigma^1_z\sigma^2_z\}$,
$\{\sigma^1_x\sigma^2_x,\ \sigma^1_z\sigma^2_z,\ i\sigma^1_y i\sigma^2_y\}$,
$\{I,\ \sigma^1_x\sigma^2_x,\ i\sigma^1_y i\sigma^2_y\}$
and so on.
As for $\Lambda_3$,
examples of a system of generators are
$\{{\cal O}_{xyy}$, ${\cal O}_{yxy}$, ${\cal O}_{yyx}\}$,
$\{{\cal O}_{xyy}$, ${\cal O}_{yxy}$, ${\cal O}_{Izz}\}$,
$\{{\cal O}_{xxx}$, ${\cal O}_{xyy}$, ${\cal O}_{yxy}$, ${\cal O}_{yyx}\}$
and so on.
\section{Inequality for fidelity}\label{sec:ineq}

In this section, we derive an inequality under the
condition that the expectation value of an operator
${\cal A}\in {\cal C}_n$ is specified. First, we will show that
if the given expectation value is the maximum value,
the state must be $|\Phi_n\rangle$. For that, we use
the following lemma.

{\it Lemma.} Let $X,\ Y$ be operators taking
 eigenvalues $\pm 1$,
and $[X,Y]=0$.
Then,
\begin{eqnarray
1-|\langle X\rangle-\langle Y\rangle|
\geq\langle XY\rangle\geq\langle X\rangle+\langle Y\rangle-1.\label{cov}
\end{eqnarray
This is directly proven by inequalities:
\begin{eqnarray
\langle(1-X)(1-Y)\rangle\geq 0 \quad {\rm and} \quad
\langle(1\pm X)(1\mp Y)\rangle\geq 0.
\end{eqnarray

In the following,
we consider
${\cal A}=\alpha_1 Q_1+\alpha_2 Q_2+\cdots+\alpha_m Q_m$
$(2^{n}\geq m \geq n,\ \alpha_i>0,\ \forall\ i)$.
We assume that
${\cal A}\in {\cal C}_n$.
We assume that the maximum expectation value
$\langle{\cal A}\rangle=M$ is given,
where $M:=\sum^m_{i=1} \alpha_i$ is the maximum eigenvalue of ${\cal A}$.
Because all coefficients $\alpha_i$ are positive, $\langle{\cal A}\rangle=M$
implies $\langle Q_1\rangle=\langle Q_2\rangle=\cdots=\langle Q_m\rangle=1$.
Since $Q_j^2=I$ for any $j$ and the set
$\{Q_1, Q_2, \cdots , Q_m\}$ forms a
system of generators for $\Lambda_n$, any element $Q$ of $\Lambda_n$
can be written as
\begin{eqnarray}
Q=Q_{\beta_1}Q_{\beta_2} \cdots Q_{\beta_l},
\end{eqnarray}
with $1\le\beta_1 < \beta_2 <\cdots <\beta_l \le m$.
We show that $\langle Q\rangle=1$ for all $l$ as follows.
When $l=1$, then $\langle Q\rangle=1$ holds.
Suppose $\langle Q\rangle=1$ holds when $l=k$, i.e.,
$\langle\prod^k_{i=1} Q_{\beta_i}\rangle=1$.
Then with the help of the lemma,
$\langle\prod^{k+1}_{i=1} Q_{\beta_i}\rangle=1$ holds.
Let $X$ be $\prod^k_{i=1} Q_{\beta_i}$ and $Y$ be $Q_{\beta_{k+1}}$,
respectively.
The lemma leads that
$1\leq \langle \prod^{k+1}_{i=1} Q_{\beta_i}\rangle\leq 1$.
Hence $\langle Q_1\rangle=\langle Q_2\rangle=\cdots=\langle Q_m\rangle=1$ means the expectation values of
all elements of
$\Lambda_n$ are one.
This means
that the fidelity is 1 with the help of Eq.~(\ref{NFO}).
Therefore we obtain the following:

{\it Proposition 1}: Let $M$ be the largest eigenvalue of
${\cal A}\in {\cal C}_n$. If ${\rm Tr}[\rho\ {\cal A}]=M$,
then $\rho=|\Phi_n\rangle\langle\Phi_n|$.

This implies that
the largest eigenvalue $M$ is not degenerate.
This is crucial point in deriving an
inequality for the fidelity.
Let us write the eigenvalues of
${\cal A}$ as
$M,\ r_2,\ r_3,\cdots,$ and
$r_s$($s\leq 2^n$), where
$M>r_2>r_3>\cdots>r_s\geq -M$.
In this notation,
when some eigenvalues of
${\cal A}$ are degenerate, then
$s< 2^n$ holds, and when all the eigenvalues of
${\cal A}$ are not degenerate, then
$s=2^n$ holds.
Since proposition 1 implies that $|\Phi_n\rangle$ is the
only eigenstate for the largest eigenvalue $M$,
we can generally expand $\langle {\cal A}\rangle:={\rm Tr}[\rho\ {\cal
A}]$ as
\begin{equation}
\langle {\cal A}\rangle=Mf+\sum^s_{i=2} q_i r_i,
\end{equation}
where $f={\rm Tr}[\rho\ |\Phi_n\rangle\langle\Phi_n|]$ is the
fidelity to $|\Phi_n\rangle$, and $q_i(\ge 0)$ satisfy
$f+\sum^s_{i=2} q_i=1$. Using this relation to eliminate
$q_2$, we have
\begin{eqnarray
\langle{\cal A}\rangle&=&Mf+(1-f-\sum^s_{i=3} q_i)r_2+
\sum^s_{i=3} q_i r_i
\nonumber\\
&=&(M-r_2)f+r_2-
\sum^s_{i=3} q_i (r_2-r_i),
\end{eqnarray
We thus obtain
\begin{equation}
\frac{\langle{\cal A}\rangle-r_2}{M-r_2}\leq f.
\label{n-ineq}
\end{equation}
The equality of the relation (\ref{n-ineq}) holds when
$\sum^s_{i=3} q_i=0$.

We can also derive an inequality that gives an
upper bound of the fidelity by eliminating $q_s$, namely,
\begin{eqnarray
\langle{\cal A}\rangle&=&Mf+\sum^{s-1}_{i=2} q_i r_i+
(1-f-\sum^{s-1}_{i=2} q_i)r_s
\nonumber\\
&=&(M-r_s)f+
\sum^{s-1}_{i=2} q_i (r_i-r_s)+r_s,
\end{eqnarray
and
\begin{equation}
\frac{\langle{\cal A}\rangle-r_s}{M-r_s}
\geq f.
\label{n-inequp}
\end{equation}
The equality of the relation (\ref{n-inequp}) holds when
$\sum^{s-1}_{i=2} q_i=0$.
We therefore obtain the following proposition.

{\it Proposition 2}: Let $M$, $r_2$, and $r_s$ be
the largest, the second-largest, and the smallest eigenvalue
of ${\cal A}\in {\cal C}_n$, respectively.
When $\langle{\cal A}\rangle:={\rm Tr}[\rho\ {\cal A}]$
is given, the fidelity
$f:={\rm Tr}[\rho\ |\Phi_n\rangle\langle\Phi_n|]$ is bounded as
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{\langle{\cal A}\rangle-r_2}{M-r_2}\leq f
\leq \frac{\langle{\cal A}\rangle-r_s}{M-r_s}\ .\label{final}
\end{eqnarray}

\section{application to experimental data}\label{sec:exp}

We analyze the experimental data
by Pan {\it et al}.\cite{bib:pan}.
In this experiment they obtained
four expectation values of three-photon polarization
correlations,
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\langle xyy\rangle\simeq
\langle yxy\rangle\simeq
\langle yyx\rangle\simeq 0.70, \nonumber\\
&&\langle xxx\rangle\simeq 0.74. \label{experidata0}
\end{eqnarray}
These experimental data is obtained by the post selection, i.e.,
picking up only the events with each of the three detectors
registering a photocount. If the detectors used in the experiments
were ideal ones, the post-selected state would be
contained in a $2^3$-dimensional subspace, which can be
identified with a tripartite system of three qubits.
Then the above observed values could be considered to give
the expectation values
$\langle{\cal O}_{xyy}\rangle$,
$\langle{\cal O}_{yxy}\rangle$,
$\langle{\cal O}_{yyx}\rangle$,
and $\langle{\cal O}_{xxx}\rangle$.
 In the real experiment, however, the detectors are not ideal,
namely, they cannot distinguish a single photon
from more than one photons and they have a limited quantum
efficiency and dark counting.
Due to these imperfection together with the nonideal photon source,
the post-selected state also contains contributions
outside of the $2^3$-dimensional subspace, in
which two photons or no photons enter the same detector.
However, the superfluous contributions can be neglected
as compared to the statistical uncertainty (a few \%) of the observed
values as follows\cite{bib:dik}.
The contribution of no-photon events are due to
dark counting, but
the rate of the dark counts is low enough \cite{bib:dik} to be able
to neglect the effect.
The contribution of more than one photon entering a detector
passes the post selection only if another detector have a
dark count, or more than two photon pairs are created in the
parametric downconversion. The former case is negligible
due to the low dark count rate, and the latter is also
negligible since the probability per pulse to create
$n$-photon pairs is of the order of about $10^{-4n}$.
We can thus
assume that the post-selected state is related to polarization of three
photons and approximately supports $2^3$-dimensional Hilbert space. Hence
we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\langle{\cal O}_{xyy}\rangle\simeq
\langle{\cal O}_{yxy}\rangle\simeq
\langle{\cal O}_{yyx}\rangle\simeq 0.70, \nonumber\\
&&\langle{\cal O}_{xxx}\rangle\simeq 0.74. \label{experidata}
\end{eqnarray}
The limited quality of the polarization optics just before the
detectors may make the visibility lower, which will
make the estimated fidelity smaller.
Hence we use these experimental expectation values
for restricting the fidelity from below.

Clearly, each observable of
(\ref{experidata}) does not belong to ${\cal C}_3$.
Therefore we take the summation of these
expectation values.
We then obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
\langle{\cal A}\rangle
\simeq 2.84, \label{experidata2}
\end{eqnarray}
where ${\cal A}=
{\cal O}_{xyy}+{\cal O}_{yxy}+{\cal O}_{yyx}+{\cal O}_{xxx}$.
Apparently,
${\cal A}\in{\cal C}_3$ holds, and eigenvalues of ${\cal A}$
are $4,\ 0$, and $-4$, where $0$ is a degenerate eigenvalue.
With the help of Eq.~(\ref{final}),
where the parameters are set to
$M=4$ and $r_2=0$,
we can state that the observed state in this experiment
has the fidelity to a GHZ state
larger than or equal to $0.71$\cite{bib:sufficient}.
Because the value is lager than 1/2, with the help of Eq.~(\ref{witness}),
these experimental data, indeed, ensure
the observed state does not belong to the biseparable class and
has genuinely tripartite entanglement.

\section{relation between variance and fidelity}\label{sec:vari}

In this section,
we show that
if we apply the minimum variance principle
for estimating the states from an experimentally obtained
expectation value of an operator belonging to ${\cal C}_n$,
the estimated fidelity becomes the minimum value that is allowed
by the constraints. This is a generalization of Rajagopal's
results \cite{bib:Rajagopal} to multipartite systems.

Let us consider Rajagopal's case, i.e., bipartite system
in which the variance of Bell-CHSH operator
$B=\sqrt{2}(\sigma^1_x\sigma^2_x+\sigma^1_z\sigma^2_z)$
is made minimal.

Suppose that an expectation value
$\langle{\cal A}\rangle$
is given, where
\begin{eqnarray
&&{\rm Case\ 1}\quad{\cal A}=\sigma^1_x\sigma^2_x,\nonumber\\
&&{\rm Case\ 2}\quad{\cal A}=\sigma^1_x\sigma^2_x+\sigma^1_z\sigma^2_z.
\end{eqnarray
Note that, for Case 1, the operator ${\cal A}$ does not belong to
${\cal C}_2$,
whereas, for Case 2, the operator ${\cal A}$ belongs to ${\cal C}_2$,
and ${\cal A}=B/\sqrt{2}$.

For Case 2,
combining the results by Refs.\cite{bib:Horodecki} and \cite{bib:Rajagopal},
it is shown that if variance
$\langle(\Delta{\cal A})^2\rangle$ is made minimal,
the calculated fidelity to $|\Phi_2\rangle$ takes minimal
when the expectation value $\langle{\cal A}\rangle$ ($\geq 0$) is given.
In this way,
the minimum entangled state was derived from Jaynes principle.
For Case 1, the given
$\langle{\cal A}\rangle$ determines a range
$0 \le f \le \frac{\langle {\cal A}\rangle +1}{2}$
for the possible value of $f$,
and the minimization condition for
$\langle(\Delta{\cal A})^2\rangle$
puts no further condition on this range.
The allowed fidelity value is thus unsettled and can be any value in the
region, except for the case that
$\langle{\cal A}\rangle= -1\ (\rightarrow f=0)$.
(Remember $-1 \leq\langle{\cal A}\rangle\leq 1$ for Case 1).
This also means that, for Case 1, we cannot derive minimum fidelity (i.e.,
zero) from the minimum variance principle.

Next we consider several examples for tripartite system.
There are eight GHZ states,
which are written as
\begin{eqnarray
&&|\psi_{1(8)}\rangle:=(1/\sqrt{2})
    (|+_1;+_2;+_3\rangle\pm|-_1;-_2;-_3\rangle),\nonumber\\
&&|\psi_{2(7)}\rangle:=(1/\sqrt{2})
    (|-_1;+_2;+_3\rangle\pm|+_1;-_2;-_3\rangle),\nonumber\\
&&|\psi_{3(6)}\rangle:=(1/\sqrt{2})
    (|+_1;-_2;+_3\rangle\pm|-_1;+_2;-_3\rangle),\nonumber\\
&&|\psi_{4(5)}\rangle:=(1/\sqrt{2})
    (|+_1;+_2;-_3\rangle\pm|-_1;-_2;+_3\rangle).
\end{eqnarray
The eight probabilities of observation of these GHZ states
for the state $\rho$ are defined as
\begin{eqnarray
p_{i}:= \langle\psi_{i}|\ \rho\ |\psi_{i}\rangle,\quad(i=1,2,\cdots,8).
\end{eqnarray
We can see that $|\psi_1\rangle$ is equal to $|\Phi_3\rangle$.
The fidelity $f$ is then identical to $p_1$.

Suppose that an expectation value
$\langle{\cal A}\rangle$
is given,
where we consider
\begin{eqnarray
&&{\rm Case\ 1}\quad{\cal A}={\cal O}_{xyy}+{\cal O}_{yxy},
\nonumber\\
&&{\rm Case\ 2}\quad{\cal A}={\cal O}_{xyy}+{\cal
O}_{yxy} +{\cal O}_{zzI},\nonumber\\
&&{\rm Case\ 3}\quad{\cal A}={\cal O}_{xyy}+{\cal
O}_{yxy} +{\cal O}_{yyx}.
\end{eqnarray
Note that, for Case 1 and 2,
the operator ${\cal A}$ does not belong to ${\cal C}_3$,
whereas, for Case 3, the operator ${\cal A}$ belongs to ${\cal C}_3$.

For Case 3,
when the variance $\langle(\Delta {\cal A})^2\rangle$
is made minimal,
we see, later, that we can derive the minimum fidelity.
For Case 1 and 2, however,
the minimum variance principle does not work completely.
In Case 1 and 2, the given
$\langle{\cal A}\rangle$ determines range
$0 \leq f \leq \frac{\langle {\cal A}\rangle+2}{4}$ and
$0 \leq f \leq \frac{\langle {\cal A}\rangle+1}{4}$, respectively
for the possible value of $f$.
For Case 2, the minimization condition for
$\langle(\Delta{\cal A})^2\rangle$
puts no further condition on this range\cite{bib:co.}.
For Case 1,
the minimization of
$\langle(\Delta{\cal A})^2\rangle$ makes
$f_{\rm max}$ smaller, i.e., the allowed fidelity value
is 0 for $-2\leq \langle{\cal A}\rangle\leq 0$
and $0 \le f \le \frac{\langle {\cal A}\rangle}{2}$
for $0< \langle{\cal A}\rangle\leq 2$.
(Remember $-2\leq \langle{\cal A}\rangle\leq 2$ for Case 1).
This means that, for Case 2, we cannot
derive the minimum fidelity (i.e.,
zero) from the minimum variance principle
and for Case 1, we cannot
derive the minimum fidelity for
$0< \langle{\cal A}\rangle\leq 2$.

Now we calculate the fidelity for Case 3 from the minimum
variance principle.
If we write operator
${\cal A}$ in the matrix form using the GHZ basis,
the diagonal elements become
$3,\ -1,\ -1,\ -1,\ 1,\ 1,\ 1,$ and $-3$,
and no off-diagonal element appears.
This means that the measured value for
${\cal A}$ can take four values
$3,\ -1,\ 1,$ and
$-3$,
where $-1$ and 1 are degenerate eigenvalues.
Using notations
$p_{\alpha}:=p_2+p_3+p_4 ,\ p_{\beta}:=p_5+p_6+p_7$,
and the relation
$f=p_1$,
the probability that the measured value for
${\cal A}$ takes 3,\  1,\  $-1$, or $-3$ is expressed as
\{$f, p_{\beta}, p_{\alpha}, p_8$\}.
We can calculate this for the three cases corresponding to
$3 \ge \langle{\cal A}\rangle > 1$,
$1 \ge \langle{\cal A}\rangle > -1$, and
$-1 \ge \langle{\cal A}\rangle \ge -3$,
as follows.
When $\langle{\cal A}\rangle$ lies between 3 and 1, the measured value for
${\cal A}$ can take only 3 or 1 but not $-1$ or $-3$ to attain the
minimum variance of its distribution.
The minimization of
$\langle(\Delta{\cal A})^2\rangle$
thus leads to the distribution
\{$f,\ p_{\beta},\ p_{\alpha},\ p_8$\}
to be
$\left\{ \frac{\langle {\cal A}\rangle-1}{2}, \frac{3-\langle
{\cal A}\rangle}{2}, 0, 0\right\}$. Similarly, for
$1 \ge \langle{\cal A}\rangle > -1$ case,
the distribution is calculated to be
$\left\{ 0,\frac{1+\langle {\cal A}\rangle}{2}, \frac{1-\langle {\cal
A}\rangle}{2},
0\right\}$, and for
$-1 \ge \langle{\cal A}\rangle \ge -3$ case to be
$\left\{ 0, 0, \frac{3+\langle {\cal A}\rangle}{2}, \frac{-1-\langle
{\cal A}\rangle}{2}\right\}$.  The derived fidelity in Case 3,
by the minimum variance principle,
is then summarized as
\begin{eqnarray
f=\left\{
\begin{array}{cl}
\displaystyle
\frac{\langle {\cal A}\rangle-1}{2}
& \quad 3\geq \langle{\cal A}\rangle>1\\
\\
\displaystyle
0
& \quad 1\geq \langle{\cal A}\rangle\geq -3 .
\end{array} \right.\label{fid-3}
\end{eqnarray
It is easy to show that this is equal to the minimum of the fidelity values
with the help of Eq.~(\ref{final}),
where the parameters are set to be
$M=3$ and $r_2=1$.
It is thus concluded that, for Case 3, the derived fidelity to
$|\Phi_3\rangle$
by the minimum variance principle leads to the minimum
of the possible fidelity values allowed by the expectation value.

We generalize the argument for
$n$-partite system.
We consider
${\cal A}=\alpha_1 Q_1+\alpha_2 Q_2+\cdots+\alpha_m Q_m\in {\cal C}_n$.
Suppose that an expectation value
$\langle{\cal A}\rangle$ is given.
In the following we calculate the fidelity $f$ from
the minimum variance principle in this case.
We write the eigenvalues of
${\cal A}$ as
$M,\ r_2,\ r_3,\cdots,$ and
$r_s$, where
$M>r_2>r_3>\cdots>r_s\geq -M$.
The probabilities for observing these eigenvalues,
$M,\ r_2,\ r_3,\cdots,$ and $r_s$ are denoted as
$f,\ q_2,\ q_3,\cdots,$ and $q_s$, respectively.
Similarly to the discussion as to Case 3 for tripartite system,
if $\langle{\cal A}\rangle$ lies between
$M$ and
$r_2$, the minimization of
$\langle(\Delta {\cal A})^2\rangle$ leads to
$\sum^s_{i=3} q_i = 0$, which means
$\{f,\ q_2,\ q_3,\cdots, q_s\}$ =
$\left\{ \frac{\langle {\cal A}\rangle-r_2}{M-r_2}, \frac{M-\langle
{\cal A}\rangle}{M-r_2}, 0, \cdots, 0 \right\}$.
The derived fidelity is then summarized as
\begin{eqnarray
f=\left\{
\begin{array}{cl}
\displaystyle
\frac{\langle {\cal A}\rangle-r_2}{M-r_2}
&\quad M\geq \langle{\cal A}\rangle>r_2\\
\\
\displaystyle
0
&\quad r_2\geq \langle{\cal A}\rangle\geq r_s.
\end{array} \right.\label{fid-n}
\end{eqnarray
Eq.~(\ref{fid-3}) is a special case of Eq.~(\ref{fid-n}) where the parameters are set to be
$M=3,\ r_2=1$ and $r_s=-3$.
We can see that Eq.~(\ref{fid-n}) gives the minimum fidelity
with the help of Eq.~(\ref{final})\cite{bib:max}.
Hence we have the following result:

{\it Proposition 3}: When $\langle{\cal A}\rangle:={\rm Tr}[\rho\ {\cal A}]$
is given, where ${\cal A}\in {\cal C}_n$,
the derived fidelity to $|\Phi_n\rangle$
from the minimum variance principle is the minimum
of the possible fidelity values allowed by the expectation value.

\section{conclusion}\label{conclusion}

In conclusion,
we have analyzed the possible fidelity values
that are compatible with an expectation value of a
single operator as experimental data.
We have defined the desired maximally entangled state and
formulated one class that
is related to a decomposition of the projector onto the
desired state.
We have made use of
the commutative group theory to formulate a
class of observables.
When an expectation value of an operator
that belongs to the class is given,
we can derive an inequality that gives
a lower bound and an upper bound of the fidelity
values that are compatible with the expectation value.
With the help of the inequality,
we have analyzed the experimental data
by Pan {\it et al}.\cite{bib:pan}.
The data ensure the observed state does not belong to
the biseparable class and
has genuinely tripartite entanglement.
Finally, we have also analyzed the calculated
fidelity from the minimum variance principle.

John Riel Casimero: The Journeyman Champion
Sep 14, 2020 By Sean Nam
The current WBO World Bantamweight Champion fights again on foreign soil when he faces unbeaten Duke Micah in a 118-pound showdown Saturday, September 26 on SHOWTIME PPV.

In boxing, the word journeyman is often code for ineptitude, a lukewarm euphemism for a tomato can, ham-and-egger, has-been, palooka, and that most scornful of monikers, bum.
Which is why it might behoove one to exercise a certain level of discretion when applying that label to a fighter like John Riel Casimero. It turns out the word has several shades of meanings.
In the strictest, non-stigmatic sense of the word, the Filipino bantamweight is a journeyman through and through; there is just no hiding this. Just scan his BoxRec and you'll find that since 2007, Casimero, 31, has scoured the globe looking for paydays in Thailand, Panama, Argentina, China, Mexico, Nicaragua, England, South Africa, and the United States. That makes 10 countries in all, including his homeland, making him something of an outsourcer's dream.
But unlike his other well-travelled peers – and this is the key distinction – Casimero rarely loses.
A journeyman that does not lose is an oxymoron.
"You gotta look this up," said Sean Gibbons, Casimero's omnipresent and perpetually upbeat American advisor. "10 different countries and 10 wins? I don't even know if that's ever been done in the history of boxing."
(It's actually nine wins in 10 countries; Casimero came up short against the formidable Moruti Mthalane back in 2011 in the latter's hometown of Johannesburg, but who's counting?).
"I want Japan!" Casimero, 31, blurted out loud.
"Yeah, he would've loved to take Japan," Gibbons mused. "He needed another country. He needed Japan for number eleven! He'll get that opportunity, though."
"You know when you tell someone you're going to fight in someone's country and they sh-- themselves? Gibbons asked. "Well, the champ over here is different…"
Casimero (29-4, 20 KOs) has proven it time and time again. In a rematch against Thailand's Amnat Ruenreong, in 2016, in Beijing, Casimero won back his IBF flyweight title with a fourth-round knockout. Four months later, he defended it successfully in London, knocking local upstart Charlie Edwards in the 10th round.
Most recently, in November, Casimero flew over to England again and knocked out the incumbent Zolani Tete inside three rounds to become the current WBO world bantamweight champion.
Of course, nothing quite compares to that fateful night in the boondocks of Argentina, when Casimero faced the rugged and devious Luis Lazarte. After getting low-blowed, rabbit-punched, head-butted, and even bit twice, Casimero stopped the Argentine in the 10th round to win the interim IBF flyweight title.
Casimero had barely raised his hands in victory before sordid members of the audience began pelting him and his team with various debris, igniting what was one of the most heinous ring riots in recent memory. Soon, teamsters began crawling into the ring, throwing fists and folding chairs. Gibbons, who made himself an easy target by wearing a T-shirt featuring the bright blue, red and yellow of the Filipino flag, says he suffered a broken rib. Casimero, thankfully, was relatively unscathed.
"I laugh now, but in the moment, I didn't think we would really get injured," Gibbons recalled. "I feel bad now because I got taken out of the arena and I'm thinking 'oh my god, Casimero's still out there, they're probably taking him out back.' It was crazy."
" There is lots of business for me right now. " WBO World Bantamweight Champion - John Riel Casimero
Now, the Filipino road warrior will yet again defend his title on foreign soil when he takes on the undefeated Duke Micah (24-0, 19 KOs) of Ghana Saturday, September 26 at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.
The fight is part of an explosive card featuring five world title bouts, live on SHOWTIME pay-per-view (7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT), including a first-of-its-kind boxing doubleheader as Jermell Charlo faces Jeison Rosario in a 154-pound world title unification match and Charlo's older twin brother, Jermall Charlo, defends his WBC World Middleweight title versus top contender Sergey Derevyanchenko.
Admittedly, the Micah fight came out of left field.
Like most fighters, Casimero was adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Originally, he was gearing up to face three-division titleholder Naoya Inoue.The rapacious coronavirus, however, scuttled the original fight date in April.
"It's been a roller coaster for him," Gibbons reflected. "He arrived here on February 7 planning to fight Inoue in April. All that got cancelled. So when the pandemic hit, he's in limbo, not in his home country. But he's optimistic and he's training thinking he's going to fight in June or July, and that didn't happen."
"I have two daughters, and I have not seen them in eight months," said Casimero, who has been living and training in Las Vegas.
As negotiations for the Inoue fight slowed to a standstill, Team Casimero decided they needed to reverse course – if only because they felt they were being yanked along like some third-string, last-minute replacement opponent.
"The man (Inoue) first of all said he had visa problems, then he said he had back problems, then, you know, supposedly, there were financial problems," Gibbons said. "I think Inoue, he's not afraid of anybody, but…we thought we're not going to sit here and jerk ourselves off.
"We wanted the fight so bad (with Inoue) that Casimero was willing to accommodate weight amenities, as if we were the opponent and we weren't being treated right. So now it's like, we're the A-side here. We ain't no B-side no more."
In other words, Casimero may be a journeyman, but he's also a champion, and he wants to be treated like one.
"Forget Inoue," Gibbons said. "He may not be the best in the world. There's Luis Nery, there's Guillermo Rigondeaux, there's a lot of other bantamweights out there. Inoue may be in the rear view mirror, Inoue may still be there, but Casimero is going to call the shots. He's not going to sit and get jerked off like he did during this period."
Casimero agrees.
"I need to take care of my business first (against Micah), but maybe my next fight will be Nery or Rigondeaux or Inoue," Casimero said. "There is lots of business for me right now."
"After Argentina," Gibbons chimed in, "everything else is easy work."

Seven Days Blogs: Mistress Maeve: Kiss Miss?
I recently dove headfirst back into the dating pool, and I have to admit that I'm a little out of practice. I've been out on a few dates so far. Most of them were bad, with the exception of one. She and I really hit it off. At the end of the date I wanted to kiss her, but I chickened out because I didn't want to offend her by coming on too strong.
I know this question is probably lame in comparison to the other, juicier letters you receive, but is it OK to go in for the kiss on the first date?
No question about love or lust is too small to tackle. Besides, without courtship and kissing, we'd never get it on. Capiche?
I think kissing on the first date is fine, as long as a few key things are in place — undeniable chemistry, strong eye contact and blatant "kiss me" body language (if she's touching your arm while she's talking to you and holding your gaze for moments at a time, she probably won't cringe at a kiss).
To be safe, you should follow a few first-kiss rules. Firstly, compliment her. Tell her you had a great time with her and that you hope to see her again soon. Next, ask for the kiss. It's extremely hot to hear, "I'd really like to kiss you right now." She'll either give you the go-ahead or explain why she prefers to wait. In which case, no harm done — you've given her the ultimate compliment.
And please, if she gives you permission to kiss her, go easy. Take your time. Pull her in close, touch her face and do not jam your tongue down her throat. Your first kiss should be sweet, and preferably closed mouthed.

On Nov. 17, 2008, Eau Claire was No. 9 while being No. 10 on Nov. 24 and Dec. 1, 2008.

Q: i can't insert data in my existing table with SELECT INTO of MYSQL I have another idea that can be more performante than the solution given in my last include question : solution of question
And this is my suggestion but it doesn't work!
SELECT
    32,
    57,
    'MVT/15/12/0001',
    'BSR/15/12/001',
    'S',
    'ART_039',
    'AAAA',
    a.qte_art,
    1,
    a.qte_art - 1,
    'uuuu'
INTO mvt(id_piece, article_id_article, code_mvt, origine_mvt, type_mvt, code_art, des_art, qte_old, qte_mvt, qte_new, link_piece)
FROM article a
WHERE a.id_article = 57

#1327 - Undeclared variable: mvt

Please chek my question in the link because the resean i tried this solution is that i have a trigger on mvt table

A: I think you should use
insert into table(fields) select fields from xxx

A: You must set Insert Section first then do the selecting... The query should look something like this:
INSERT INTO courses (name, location, gid)
SELECT name, location, 1
FROM   courses
WHERE  cid = 2

A: The format to insert int to table using select is
INSERT INTO table_name1 (field_1, field_2, field3)
SELECT field_1, field_2, field_3 from table_name2

For Your case give us
Insert into  mvt(id_piece, article_id_article, code_mvt, origine_mvt, type_mvt, code_art, des_art, qte_old, qte_mvt, qte_new, link_piece)
SELECT
    32,
    57,
    'MVT/15/12/0001',
    'BSR/15/12/001',
    'S',
    'ART_039',
    'AAAA',
    a.qte_art,
    1,
    a.qte_art - 1,
    'uuuu' FROM article a

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West alongside a Dartz vehicle., By The Car Spy/Wikipedia (car); by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images.
Mere hours after photographs surfaced of Blue Ivy Carter being chauffeured out of the Hamptons in a vintage, sky-blue Rolls-Royce limousine driven by Beyoncé, we learn that North West, secondary-compass direction/daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, may be getting similarly extravagant means of transport in the near future.
Jalopnik adds that Dartz is the company responsible for creating Sasha Baron Cohen's understated gold-plated S.U.V. in The Dictator. Our condolences to young North West, on her reported future being transported inside the world's only vehicle more embarrassing and denoting of an overprotective parent than a minivan.
