Here are a few more of the new books we've gotten in recently:
The Lying Life of Adults
Giovanna's pretty face is changing, turning ugly, at least so her father thinks. Giovanna, he says, looks more like her Aunt Vittoria every day. But can it be true? Is she really changing? Is she turning into her Aunt Vittoria, a woman she hardly knows but whom her mother and father despise? Surely there is a mirror somewhere in which she can see herself as she truly is. Giovanna is searching for her reflection in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves from one to the other in search of the truth, but neither city seems to offer answers or escape. With this new novel about the transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, Ferrante proves once again that she deserves her many accolades. In The Lying Life of Adults, readers will discover another gripping, highly addictive, and totally unforgettable Neapolitan story.
The Mother Code
In this mind-bending debut novel, Carole Stivers explores what it means to be a mother in a world that is more chilling and precarious than ever. It is 2049. When a U.S. attempt at stealth biowarfare goes awry, a team of scientists is engaged to ensure human survival on earth. Their best efforts fail, and they must turn to their last resort: a plan to place genetically engineered children inside the cocoons of large-scale robots–to be incubated, birthed, and raised by these machines, which have been programmed with the latest advances in artificial intelligence: the Mother Code. Kai is born in America's desert Southwest, his only companion his robotic Mother, Rho-Z. Equipped with the knowledge and intuition of a human mother, Rho-Z raises Kai and teaches him how to survive. As children like him come of age, their Mothers transform too — in ways that were never predicted. When government survivors decide that the machines who raised the children must be destroyed, Kai must fight to save the only parent he has ever known.
Northernmost
From the acclaimed author of Wintering: a thrilling ode to the spirit of adventure and the vagaries of loss and love. In 1897 Norway, Odd Einar Eide returns home from a harrowing disaster in the northernmost Arctic only to witness his own funeral in full swing. His wife Inger, stunned to see him alive, is slow to return his devoted affection: she'd spent countless sleepless nights convinced she had now lost both her husband and their daughter, Thea, who'd emigrated to America two years before and has yet to answer their many anxious letters. Further complicating their reconciliation, a newspaperman gets wind of Eide's miraculous survival and invites them both to the city of Tromsø so he can write what he is sure will be a bestselling story. In 2017 Minnesota, Greta Nansen, desperately unhappy, decides to leave her children in her father's care and follow her husband to Oslo, where he's on assignment, in order to end their marriage. But for reasons mystifying even to her, she travels instead to the upper fringe of Norway — to the town where her great-great grandmother Thea was born. A dual narrative told by blood relatives separated by five generations, Northernmost confronts the darkest recesses of the human heart and celebrates our astonishing ability to endure the most excruciating trials.

Healthy Granola Bars - Chewy, Delicious, Easy!
Back in 2012, when I first posted a recipe for homemade chewy granola bars, I had no idea it would still be so popular five years later, with over 28,000 repins and twelve pages of positive reader reviews.
Even the best recipes can be improved upon, and today I'm sharing my updated version of the classic granola bar recipe, complete with six new flavor variations. The recipe makes double the amount of the original. I also fixed up the photos and added a few new ones as well. This is one of those recipes that's withstood the test of time. Five years later, readers are still making it!
These homemade granola bars have slightly better nutrition facts than store-bought Quaker Chewy Granola Bars, but–more importantly–they have a MUCH shorter and cleaner ingredient list!
Stir together all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk liquid ingredients together in a separate bowl, then stir wet into dry.
Transfer the granola bar mixture to a pan lined with parchment paper, and press down as firmly as you can.
Either bake in a preheated oven for 18 minutes OR simply chill until firm, then slice – there is no baking required!
Chocolate Chip Granola Bars: Stir 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips in with the dry ingredients.
Oatmeal Raisin Granola Bars: Stir 1/2 cup chopped raisins and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in with the dry ingredients.
Nutella Granola Bars: Replace the oil with my Healthy Nutella, and add mini chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts if desired.
Vanilla Almond Granola Bars: Stir 1/3 cup finely chopped almonds in with the dry ingredients, and add a few drops pure almond extract to the liquid ingredients.
Trail Mix Granola Bars: Stir 1/4 cup each chia seeds, shredded coconut, and chopped, dried cranberries in with the dry ingredients.
Peanut Butter Cookie Granola Bars: Replace the oil with 1/4 cup peanut butter or nut butter of choice.
Edit: and now there is a pumpkin version!
Line an 8-inch pan with parchment paper. Set aside. If you wish to bake the bars, preheat oven to 350 F. Stir together all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk liquid ingredients together in a separate bowl, then stir wet into dry. Transfer to the prepared pan. Smooth down firmly, using a second sheet of parchment or wax paper. Press down as hard as you can. For no-bake healthy granola bars, chill until firm. (The no-bake option is also firmer if you use coconut oil.) For baked granola bars, cook on the center rack 18 minutes, then press down firmly again. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
These look great I am going to make the original as well as some of the other variations. We have lots of homemade applesauce. My husband will enjoy them for snacks when he goes in the field combining corn. My preschooler and I will just enjoy them at home and for homeschool field trips.
They're old fashioned 🙂 You're ignorance is fine! It can be confusing.
I plan to make a large batch of these this weekend! My son is in kindergarten now and needs a lunch and two snacks everyday. I'm running out of food to send! Would the baked ones hold up better in a lunchbox than the chilled version?
These are in the oven now! I can't believe I never tried your original version. He wanted peanut butter chocolate chip, and my samples were amazing!! Will definitely make again!
these look so yummy….what size pan should we use? it doesn't say!
So strange, could have sworn I'd written it in! Sorry about that – the pan should be an 8×8.
These bars look really delicious…by the way, wondering what camera and lens you use for your blog posts?
I have a Canon T2i Rebel (as of at least 5 years, I think…). Currently, I shoot mostly with an f/2.8 100mm macro lens, but the first photo in this post was actually shot using the kit lens.
These look really good and I want to try them! I have a question –under "To Make The Healthy Granola Bars" it says to bake for 28 minutes. In the recipe part, it says to bake 18 minutes and then press down firmly. So I'm not sure how long to bake! Thanks.
Made these earlier and they came out amazing!!
I used one mashed, over ripe banana, coconut oil, shredded coconut and chopped raisins. No sugar but instead a dash of Trader Joe's dried Stevia (very potent).
I went for the no bake version.
Didn't have any rice crispies cereal left so I actually used GF Cheerios and it worked.
The bars taste like honey and coconut and melt in your mouth! Very rich. A total winner.
I substituted maple syrup for 1/2 of the honey and they turned out great.
Do you think I could bake up a few batches and freeze them for later? I get time to make things like this about once a month.
I freeze EVERYTHING. So, of course. Why not?!
Ah, these look AMAZING beyond words! I used to LOVE those Quaker granola bars, but these look (and probably taste) even better!
What is the best way to store these? I'd like to make a big batch for my 4 kids for the week.
Refrigerated if using coconut oil in the no-bake version. Otherwise they can stay at room temperature.
Is there any substitution for the cereal? We don't eat any. Maybe shredded coconut?
You can definitely experiment and be sure to report back if you do!
Baking soda? Or baking powder?
I made these and added pumpkin seeds and chia seeds, adds a wonderful crunch. I baked them but even after cooling, they were crumbly. Any suggestions? I used applesauce instead of banana and half coconut oil half almond butter.
Same mine was also crumby what could i do about it?
Add a little more liquid?
can I substitute the rice crispies with puffed amaranth?
Sorry haven't tried, but be sure to report back if you experiment!
How long do they last in the fridge or in room temp.?

San Mateo County Bar Association > About SMCBA
Building in 2005
The San Mateo County Bar Association provides a second home for its members since 1916. On March 9, 1916 the local Bar was organized by 13 attorneys and Judge George H. Buck, the sole Superior Judge of San Mateo County at the time.
For years, longer than most have lived, Judge George H. Buck has looked down at us from his perch on the second floor of the county courthouse. Judge Buck presided over the first meeting of the San Mateo County Bar Association on March 9, 1916, and was elected its first president.
Judge Buck was born in what was then faraway Maine in 1847, three years before California became a state. After studying law with an admiralty firm in Boston he became an attorney for the Cincinnati & Lafayette Railroad.
Health problems forced the then 27-year-old attorney to move to sunny California. With 47-cents in his pocket, he took a job as a livery worker in a stable. He worked hard and saved enough to open his own law office. After a few years he ran for and was elected District Attorney. In 1890 he won another election – to the San Mateo County Superior Court.
For the next 42 years, or until 1932, Judge Buck served the citizens of San Mateo County. It is estimatd he heard 20,000 cases while a member of the judiciary.
Judge Buck died at his home on Jefferson Ave., Redwood City, at age 91 in 1938. He was buried in the Union Cemetery at Woodside Rd. and El Camino Real in Redwood City. His son, Norman Buck, who was killed in a train accident in Redwood City at age 27, lies beside him. The tombstone is easy to find.
Stop by someday for a visit. Let the good judge know he is still remembered.
A warm welcome awaits those who visit its offices at 333 Bradford Street, Redwood City. With its worthwhile educational programs, fulfilling volunteer opportunities and friendly social gatherings, SMCBA elevates and enhances the practice of law in San Mateo County.
The mission of the San Mateo County Bar Association is to promote the honor and dignity of the legal profession, to educate its members, to foster the highest professional standards, to encourage collegiality and to maintain cooperation between its members and the judiciary, to furnish excellent indigent criminal defense, to assist the public in accessing legal services, to provide and recognize public service as it relates to this mission, and to advance the fair and effective administration of justice for all.

I like dealing with motorcycle racers – they tend to live life very much on the starting line," says Andrea Coleman , as she reflects on her life story in the sitting room of her home in rural England. It would seem that Coleman – here perched animatedly on the edge of her sofa – also approaches life from the starting line. Motorcycles have certainly played a significant role in her life.
As winner of this year's Women of the Year Barclays award, Coleman has been recognised for her use of an innovative business model to improve access to healthcare in Africa. Her foundation, Riders for Health, arranges for African health ministries to help pay for health workers to be trained to ride motorcycles and have their vehicles maintained routinely.
Coleman grew up in a family of motorcyclists – her father and uncle raced bikes before the second world war – and her love affair with the machine began at an early age, and in the early 1970s she went on to become a racer herself. "It's been a huge influence on me," she says. "I saved up before my 16th birthday for my first motorcycle. The day I was 16 I put my L-plates on, took three months and then passed my test. I just wanted to be out riding motorcycles." A sepia picture of her family's motorcycle shop, Williams and Bullus, is on display along a corridor that leads to the library.
In spite of her fierce independent streak, Coleman has invested a lot of energy in her own home in Norton, Northamptonshire. "I love interiors and I'm really interested in design," she says. West African prints line the walls above a beige sofa in the living room, while fairy lights decorate a wooden dresser in the kitchen. A large wooden table stands in the middle of the kitchen in front of an Aga.
At the time Coleman started racing she met her husband, Tom Herron, who went on to become a Grand Prix motorcycle racer. In 1971, the couple moved to County Down in Northern Ireland, where once again Coleman showed her resourcefulness. "I went to the airport one day and I said to the freight companies, 'I've got a van. I can do deliveries for you'. Within two weeks I was running around Northern Ireland and earning really good money," she says.
Coleman followed her husband to Europe on the motorcycle racing circuit. However, tragedy struck in 1979: soon after Coleman gave birth to their twins, Kim and Zoe, Herron died in a racing accident in Northern Ireland. "It was then that I became very interested in motorcycle safety and how you turn something that you really like and value into something that isn't destructive," she says. This interest eventually led her to meet her second husband, Barry, then a journalist for the Guardian who covered motorcycle racing.
Having raised money for Save the Children at racing circuits, she and Barry ended up working for the charity. The couple were put in touch with east Africa specialist Andrew Timpson ("who rode a Ducati and always wore white leathers") who took Barry and Randy Mamola, another GP motorcycle racer, to Somalia to learn how motorbikes could be used in a development context. In 1990, Coleman and her husband co-founded Riders for Health. And they have dedicated their lives to the project ever since.
"Barry's job was to make sure systems were created to be able to reach rural communities," says Coleman. "How do you run and train teams? How do you create a system where vehicles can be maintained where they are needed, rather than have a truck do 4,000km to get back to the main city?" Using imported Japanese motorcycles, they began equipping communities across Africa to deliver better access to healthcare.
The systems that Riders for Health has created, in partnership with other NGOs in seven countries across Africa, help bring predictability into the healthcare system. "That way it also shows the holes," Coleman says. Medical test results can be couriered at specific times rather than being left on the shelf; a midwife can be present at a health centre at times when women are likely to arrive; and health workers can carry the equipment they need for patient visits. On top of that, technicians deliver fuel and spare parts for the motorcycles to health workers at regular times each month.
The quintessentially English setting in which she and her husband live is in stark contrast to their work across remote parts of Africa. But throughout the house's interior, there are references to the continent that has captured Coleman's heart. Zimbabwean Shona sculptures, for example, are displayed in the window looking on to the beautifully tended garden.
Coleman's passion for her work is clear. I ask her how far she thinks it has helped that she is a woman.
A separate kitchen has been built next to where the Aga is situated, just in case any future potential housebuyer prefers an electric oven.


After using eyeshadow primer, apply matte black eyeshadow all over your lid. Remember to tap off excess shadow from your brush to prevent fallout.
Using a thinner brush, apply the same eyeshadow on your lower lash line.
Press the business card like you would a ruler & apply black eyeshadow on that area between the edge & black shadow. Decide on the shape you want- you can even apply it straight up for that winged look *It was difficult for me to hold camera, card & brush at once, so it's off there. But you get the idea.
Remove business card. You should see a crisp line.
Tightline your upper lash line with black kohl pencil.
Also line your lower lash line going all the way to the tear duct area.
Also blend the black eyeshadow on lower lash line with the same brown eyeshadow.
Here, you just fill in any gaps with a liner brush or the same pencil brush.
This is optional. You can use a light shimmery shade to highlight your brow bone.
Curl lashes & apply black mascara on top & lower lashes. See how mascara opened up the eye? Mascara rocks!

\section{Introduction}

In a recent paper, Gamble, Friesen, Zhou, Joynt and Coppersmith \cite{Gamble:2010p1085} consider the application of a multi-paritcle quantum walks to the graph isomorphism problem.   In particular, they examine (a) two non-interacting Bosons; (b) two non-interacting Fermions; and (c) two interacting Bosons.  In each case, a graph $G=(V,E)$ is associated with an Hamiltonian $H$; this Hamiltonian will depend on the dynamics and number of particles chosen.  The corresponding unitary operator is then given by
$$U=e^{-itH}$$
A detailed description of continuous time quantum walks and their properties can be found in \cite{Childs:2008p1088}.

The {\bf Green's functions} associated with this graph are the values $$\mathcal{G}(i,j)=\bra{j}U\ket{i}$$ where $i$ and $j$ run over an appropriate basis (in the case of \cite{Gamble:2010p1085}, this is the two-particle basis).  We say that two graphs are {\bf distinguishable} if their sets of Green's functions differ.

Gamble et al. prove that non-interacting Bosons and Fermions fail to distinguish pairs of non-isomorphic strongly regular graphs with the same parameters (see Definition \ref{srg}).  In order to evaluate the effectiveness of interacting Bosons, they consider all tabulated pairs of non-isomorphic strongly regular graphs with up to 64 vertices.  They find that the interacting 2-Boson walk does indeed distinguish all the pairs of strongly regular graphs they considered.  They go on to ask if, for a high enough value of $k$, an interacting $k$-Boson quantum walk could distinguish all pairs of non-isomorphic graphs.  This would place the graph isomorphism problem in P.  In this paper, we show that for any $k$, there are pairs of non-isomorphic graphs that are not distinguished by an interacting $k$-Boson quantum walk.

In order to prove this, we introduce cellular algebras in Section \ref{CA}.  We define weak and strong notions of isomorphisms between cellular algebras, as well as the construction of these algebras from graphs.  Section \ref{kequiv} defines the $k$-equivalence of graphs, which is based on the properties of their associated cellular algebras.  Sections \ref{unit}-\ref{kboson} apply these ideas to multi-particle walks on graphs, showing that two $k$-equivalent graphs are not distinguished by a $k$-Boson quantum walk.  Section \ref{2boson} is concerned with the case of a two-Boson quantum walk, directly addressing \cite{Gamble:2010p1085}.  Section \ref{kboson} generalizes this to $k$ Bosons.  The existence of $k$-equivalent graphs for any positive integer $k$ is proven in \cite{Barghi:2009p42} and \cite{Evdokimov:1999p668}.  In fact, these are the same graphs that are used to demonstrate that the spectrum of the $k$-symmetric power of a graph do not distinguish arbitrary graphs (see \cite{Audenaert:2005p14,Barghi:2009p42}).  Indeed, many of the results in this paper are analogous to those of \cite{Barghi:2009p42}; the main innovation in this paper is applying these results to multi-particle quantum walks.

\section{Cellular Algebras}\label{CA}

\subsection{Definitions}

Cellular algebras are a generalization of coherent configurations, which were developed by Weisfeiler and Lehman (\cite{Weisfeiler:1968fk}) and Higman (\cite{HIGMAN:1970p409}) as an approach to the graph isomorphism problem.  We will see how these algebras are generated from graphs;  these generated cellular algebras capture structural information about the underlying graph that we will use to prove the main theorem of this paper.

Let $V$ be a finite vertex set.  Then, $\text{Mat}_V$ is the algebra of all complex-valued matrices indexed by $V$.  We define a cellular algebra as follows:

\begin{definition} Let $W$ be a subalgebra of $\text{Mat}_V$.  Then, $W$ is a cellular algebra if the following hold:
\begin{enumerate}[(i)]
\item $W$ is closed under Hadamard multiplication $\circ$.
\item $W$ is closed under complex conjugation $^\dagger$.
\item $W$ contains the identity $I$ and the all-ones matrix $J$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{definition}

The following is a useful consequence of this definition:

\begin{prop} If $W$ is a cellular algebra, then
\begin{enumerate}[(i)]
\item $W$ has a unique basis of $0-1$ matrices $\mathcal{R}$, and $\sum_{R\in\mathcal{R}}R=J$.
\item There is a subset $C\subseteq\mathcal{R}$ such that $\sum_{R\in\mathcal{R}}R=I$.
\item If $R\in\mathcal{R}$, then $R^\dagger\in\mathcal{R}$
\end{enumerate}
\end{prop}

We call $\mathcal{R}$ the set of {\bf basis relations}\footnote{The term {\em basis relation} comes from an alternative  definition, in which we consider binary relations on $V$, rather than the equivalent $0-1$ matrices} of $W$.  We will also use $\mathcal{R}^*$ to denote the set of all sums of elements of $\mathcal{R}$; this is the set of {\bf relations} of $W$.  A set of vertices $U\subseteq V$ is called a {\bf cell} of $W$ if $I_U$, the identity on $U$, is a basis relation of $W$.  The set of cells of $W$ is denoted by $\text{Cel}(W)$.

\subsection{The Cellular Closure: Cellular Algebras from Graphs}\label{secsrg}

The cellular algebra $W=[M_1,...,M_\ell]$ is the smallest cellular algebra containing $\{M_1,...,M_\ell\}$, a set of $n\times n$ matrices.  We say that $W$ is {\bf generated} by $\{M_1,...,M_\ell\}$.  If $G=(V,E)$ is a graph with adjacency matrix $A$, then we say that $W_G=[A]$ is the {\bf cellular closure} of $G$.  This will sometimes be denoted by $[G]$.  Strongly regular graphs have the simplest cellular closures:

\begin{definition}\label{srg}
A {\bf strongly regular graph} $G$ is associated with a set of parameters $(n,k,\lambda,\mu)$ such that:
\begin{enumerate}[(i)]
\item $G$ has $n$ vertices.
\item Each vertex has degree $k$.
\item Each pair of adjacent vertices share $\lambda$ common neighbours.
\item Each pair of non-adjacent vertices share $\mu$ common neighbours.
\end{enumerate}
\end{definition}

If a strongly regular graph $G$ has adjacency matrix $A$, it is easily verified that $\{I, A, (J-I-A)\}$ form the basis for the cellular algebra $W_G=[A]$.  While most generated cellular algebras are not as straightforward as this, the Weisfeiler-Lehman algorithm (see \cite{Weisfeiler:1968fk}, \cite{Evdokimov:1999p1005}) calculates the cellular closure of a set of matrices in polynomial time.

\subsection{Weak and Strong Isomorphisms}

We will define two notions of isomorphisms between cellular algebras--- one of a combinatorial nature (strong), and the other of an algebraic nature (weak).  Let $W$ and $W^\prime$ be cellular algebras with vertex sets $V$ and $V^\prime$ and basis relations $\mathcal{R}$ and $\mathcal{R}^\prime$, respectively.

\begin{definition} A {\bf weak isomorphism} is a bijection $\phi\colon W\to W^\prime$ that preserves addition, matrix multiplication, Hadamard multiplication and complex conjugation.
\end{definition}
Two immediate consequences of this definition are that $\phi(I)=I$, and $\phi$ is a bijection from the basis relations $\mathcal{R}$ to $\mathcal{R}^\prime$.  We also note that $\phi$ induces a bijection between cells, $\phi^\prime\colon \text{Cel}(W)\to\text{Cel}(W^\prime)$.  We will use the following lemma and its corollary in the proof of Theorem \ref{indistinguishable}.

\begin{lemma}\label{celltocell}
Take $X\in\text{Cel}(W)$.  Then $\size{X}=\size{\phi^\prime(X)}$.\end{lemma}
\begin{proof} Let $\mathcal{R}_X$ be the set basis relations of $W$ restricted to the vertex set $X$.  Define $\mathcal{R}^\prime_{\phi^\prime(X)}$ analogously.  We will first show that $J_X$, the all-ones matrix on the set $X$, is mapped to $J_{\phi^\prime(X)}$, the all-ones matrix on the corresponding cell in $W^\prime$.  Since, $\phi(I_X)=I_{\phi^\prime(X)}$ and for any $R\in\mathcal{R}_X$,
$$I_X\cdot R\cdot I_X=R$$
it follows that
$$I_{\phi^\prime(X)}\cdot\phi(R)\cdot I_{\phi^\prime(X)}=\phi(R).$$

Therefore, if $R\in\mathcal{R}_X$, then $\phi(R)\in\mathcal{R}^\prime_{\phi^\prime(X)}$.  Moreover,

$$\phi(J_X)=\sum_{R\in\mathcal{R}_X}\phi(R)=\sum_{R\in\mathcal{R}^\prime_{\phi^\prime(X)}}R=J_{\phi^\prime(X)}$$

Now, comparing
$$J_X\cdot J_X=\size{X}\cdot J_X$$
and
$$J_{\phi^\prime(X)}\cdot J_{\phi^\prime(X)}=\size{\phi^\prime(X)}\cdot J_{\phi^\prime(X)}$$
gives us $\size{X}=\size{\phi^\prime(X)}$.

\end{proof}

\begin{corollary}\label{treq}
For all $R\in W$, $\text{tr}(R)=\text{tr}(\phi(R))$.
\end{corollary}
\begin{proof} Let $C$ and $C^\prime$ be the basis relations of $W$ and $W^\prime$ that sum to the identity.  Then, for each $R\in W$ and $I_X\in C$,
$$R\circ I_X=q_R(X)\cdot I_X$$
for some $q_R(X)\in \mathbb{C}$ and
$$\text{tr}(R)=\sum_{X\in\text{Cel}(W)}q_R(X)\cdot\size{X}$$
Since $\phi$ is a weak isomorphism, and applying Lemma \ref{celltocell},
\begin{flalign*}
\text{tr}(\phi(R))=&\sum_{X\in\text{Cel}(W)}q_R(X)\cdot\size{\phi^\prime(X)}\\
=&\text{tr}(R)
\end{flalign*}
\end{proof}

Weak isomorphisms respect algebraic structure, but do not take into account the vertices underlying the cellular algebra.

\begin{definition} A {\bf strong isomorphism} is a bijection $\psi\colon V\to V^\prime$ such that, for each $R\in W$, there is a unique $R^\prime\in W^\prime$ such that
$$\forall u,v\in V,\: R(u,v)=R^\prime(\psi(u),\psi(v)).$$
\end{definition}
Note that a strong isomorphism $\psi$ induces a weak isomorphism.  Unfortunately, not all weak isomorphisms are induced by a strong isomorphism.

\subsection{Cellular Algebra Extensions}
The $k$-extension of a cellular algebra $W$ is a larger algebra that contains additional structural information about $W$.  Before constructing the $k$-extension, we first need to define the centralizer algebra.
\begin{definition}
Let $G$ be a group acting on the set $S$.  The {\bf centralizer algebra} is defined as follows:
$$\mathcal{Z}(G,S)=\{A\in\text{Mat}_S\colon \forall g\in G,\;A^g=A\}$$
\end{definition}
In the next definition, we use the centralizer algebra $\mathcal{Z}(\sym{V},V^k)$.  In this case, $\sym(V)$ acts entrywise on $V^k$.
\begin{definition}
The {\bf $k$-extension} $\widehat{W}^{(k)}$ of a cellular algebra $W$ is the smallest cellular algebra containing $W^k$ and $\mathcal{Z}(\sym{V},V^k)$:
$$\widehat{W}^{(k)}=[W^k,\mathcal{Z}(\sym{V},V^k)]$$
\end{definition}
The following lemma is reproduced from \cite{Barghi:2009p42}, and was originally proven in \cite{Evdokimov:2000p1036}:
\begin{lemma}\label{cylindric1} Let $S=\{R_{i,j}\colon 1\leq i,j\leq k\}\subseteq \mathcal{R}^*$ be a set of relations.  Define the cylindric relation $\text{Cyl}_S$ such that, given $\overline{x},\overline{y}\in V^k$,
$$\text{Cyl}_S(\overline{x},\overline{y})=\prod_{i,j}R_{i,j}(x_i,y_j).$$
Then, $\text{Cyl}_S\in\widehat{W}^{(k)}$.
\end{lemma}

\section{The $k$-Equivalence of Graphs} \label{kequiv}

We would like to use these ideas of weak isomorphism and $k$-extension to draw meaningful connections between graphs.

\begin{definition} Let $G$ and $G^\prime$ be graphs with adjacency matrices $A$ and $A^\prime$.  Then, $G$ and $G^\prime$ are {\bf equivalent} if there is a weak isomorphism $\phi\colon [G]\to[G^\prime]$ such that $\phi(A)=A^\prime$.  We say that $\phi$ is a similarity from $G$ to $G^\prime$.\end{definition}

Since $[G]$ is the smallest cellular algebra containing $A$, the weak isomorphism $\phi$ is in fact uniquely determined.  We now broaden this definition to take into account $k$-extensions

\begin{definition} Let $G$ and $G^\prime$ be graphs with adjacency matrices $A$ and $A^\prime$.  Then $\phi$ is a $k$-equivalence if
\begin{enumerate}[(i)]
\item It is an equivalence from $G$ to $G^\prime$.
\item There exists a weak isomorphism $\widehat\phi\colon \widehat{W_G}^{(k)}\to \widehat{W_{G^\prime}}^{(k)}$ such that
$$\widehat\phi\mid_{W_G^k}=\phi^k\qquad and \qquad\widehat\phi\mid_{\mathcal{Z}(\sym{V},V^k)}=I$$
\end{enumerate}
\end{definition}

Clearly, 1-equivalence corresponds with our existing definition of graph equivalence.  The following lemma appears in \cite{Barghi:2009p42}, and tells us that a $k$-equivalence acts in a convenient way on cylindric relations.

\begin{lemma}\label{cylindric2} Let $\phi$ be a $k$-equivalence from $G$ to $G^\prime$.  Let $S\subseteq \mathcal{R}^*$ be a set of relations of $W_G$.  Then,
$$\widehat\phi(\text{Cyl}_S)=\text{Cyl}_{\phi(S)}$$
where $\phi(S)=\{\phi(R_{i,j})\colon R_{i,j}\in S\}$.
\end{lemma}

\section{Unitary Evolution and Cellular Algebras}\label{unit}

Let $H$ be a Hamiltonian and $W=(V, \mathcal{R})$ a cellular algebra containing $H$.  Then, unitary $U$ corresponding to $H$ can be written as

$$U=e^{-itH}=\sum_{j=0}^\infty\frac{(-itH)^j}{j!}$$

We will now take advantage of the fact that $U$ lies within $W$ to express the values of the Green's function in a convenient way.  Since $H\in W$, we can write each $H^j/j!$ as a linear combination of basis relations:

$$\frac{H^j}{j!}=\sum_{R\in\mathcal{R}}p_R(j)\cdot R$$

This gives us

$$U=e^{-itH}=\sum_{R\in\mathcal{R}}\left[R\cdot\sum_{j=0}^\infty p_R(j)\cdot(-it)^j\right]$$

This gives us a convenient way of expressing Green's function in terms of the basis relations $\mathcal{R}$.  Since each $R\in\mathcal{R}$ is a 0-1 matrix, the values of the Green function are given by
$$x_R(t)=\sum_{j=0}^\infty p_R(j)\cdot(-it)^j$$
each with multiplicity
$$m_R=\text{sum}(R)=\text{tr}(RR^T)$$

\begin{theorem} \label{indistinguishable}Let $H$ and $H^\prime$ be two Hamiltonians contained in cellular algebras $W$ and $W^\prime$ respectively.  Furthermore, let $\phi:W\to W^\prime$ be a weak isomorphism such that $\phi(H)=H^\prime$. Then, the Green functions for $H$ and $H^\prime$ take on the same values with the same multiplicities.\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}    Define $p^\prime_R(j)$, $x^\prime_R(t)$ and $m^\prime_R$ as above.  Since $\phi$ is a weak isomorphism,
$$p_R(j)=p_{\phi(R)}^\prime(j)$$
and therefore
$$x_R(t)=x^\prime_{\phi(R)}(t)$$
Corollary \ref{treq} tells us that
$$m_R=\text{tr}(RR^T)=\text{tr}(\phi(RR^T))=m^\prime_{\phi(R)}$$

Therefore, the Green functions for take on the same values with the same multiplicities.
\end{proof}

\section{Interacting 2-Boson Walks and 2-Equivalence}
\label{2boson}

We will first consider the case of two interacting Bosons.  We will extend this to to $k$ particles in the following section, but we include the 2-Boson case separately as it directly addresses \cite{Gamble:2010p1085}.  In \cite{Gamble:2010p1085}, the Hamiltonian for a two-Boson quantum walk is given by:

$$H_{2B}=-\frac{1}{2}(I+S)A^{\oplus2}+UR$$

where $U$ is a constant energy cost and

\begin{flalign*}
S=&\sum_{i,j}\ketbra{ij}{ji},\\
R=&\sum_i\ketbra{ii}{ii},\\
A^{\oplus n}=&(\overbrace{A\otimes I\otimes...\otimes I}^n)+...+(I\otimes I\otimes...\otimes A)
\end{flalign*}

The following lemma is a direct consequence of the definition of 2-extension, as well as Lemma \ref{cylindric2} regarding cylindric relations:
\begin{lemma} \label{HtoH} If $\phi$ is a 2-equivalence from $G$ to $G^\prime$ with corresponding 2-Boson Hamiltonians $H_{2B}$ and $H^\prime_{2B}$, then
\begin{enumerate}[(i)]
\item $\widehat\phi(S)=S$
\item $\widehat\phi(A^{\oplus2})=(A^\prime)^{\oplus2}$
\item$\widehat\phi(R)=R$
\end{enumerate}
and therefore $\widehat{\phi}(H_{2B})=H^\prime_{2B}$.

\end{lemma}
\begin{proof} See the proof of Lemma \ref{HtoHk} for a more general proof.\end{proof}

Combining Theorem \ref{indistinguishable} and Lemma \ref{HtoH}, we arrive at the following:

\begin{theorem} \label{2bos} If $G$ and $G^\prime$ are 2-equivalent graphs, then they are not distinguished by the interacting 2-Boson walk.\end{theorem}

\section{Interacting $k$-Boson Walks and $k$-Equivalence}
\label{kboson}

We will now consider the $k$-boson case.  We will consider each term of the Hamiltonian in turn. First, we replace the term $(I+S)$ from the 2-particle Hamiltonian with $\sum_{\sym{k}}S$.  That is, we will work within the subspace invariant under any permutation of the $k$ particles.  Next we replace the term $A^{\oplus2}$ with $A^{\oplus k}$.

Finally, we consider the interaction term.  We would like the energy contribution from each site to be a function of the number of particles at that site.  Let $\overline{x}\in V^k$ be a basis state of the $k$-Boson system.  Then, define $v_x$ as the number of particles at vertex $v$ in state $x$.  Then, $V_x=\{v_x:\;v\in V\}$.  Then, we can partition $V^k$ into equivalence classes $X_1,...,X_\ell$ such that $x$ and $y$ are in the same class if and only if $V_x=V_y$.  Let $R_i=\sum_{x\in X_i}\ketbra{x}{x}$.  Finally, to each of the $X_i$, we assign an energy penalty $U_i$.  This gives us the interaction term, $\sum_{i=1}^\ell U_iR_i$

Putting these together, we arrive at our $k$-Boson Hamiltonian:

$$H_{kB}=-\frac{1}{k!}\left(\sum_{\sym{k}}S\right)A^{\oplus k}+\sum_{i=1}^{\ell}U_i R_i$$

Note that this expression allows for a good deal of flexibility in the nature of the interaction between particles.  In particular, it includes the non-interacting case, as well as the Bose-Hubbard model, in which the contribution from each site is proportional to the square of the number of particles at that site.

We are now ready to prove the following lemma:

\begin{lemma} \label{HtoHk} If $\phi$ is a k-equivalence from $G$ to $G^\prime$ with corresponding $k$-Boson Hamiltonians $H_{kB}$ and $H^\prime_{kB}$, then
\begin{enumerate}[(i)]
\item $\forall S\in \sym{k},\;\widehat\phi(S)=S$
\item $\widehat\phi(A^{\oplus k})=(A^\prime)^{\oplus k}$
\item $\forall i,\;\widehat\phi(R_i)=R_i$
\end{enumerate}
and therefore $\widehat{\phi}(H)=H^\prime$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof} First, we note that any $S\in\sym{k}$ is simply a cylindric relation, with $R_{i,j}\in\{I,J\}$ for all $(i,j)$.  Since $\widehat\phi(I)=I$ and $\widehat\phi(J)=J$, we can apply Lemma \ref{cylindric2} to prove (i).

Similarly, each $R_i$ is a cylindric relation with $R_{i,j}\in \{I,(J-I)\}$, so the same reasoning implies that (iii).

Finally, the definition of $k$-equivalence requires that $\widehat\phi\mid_{W^k}=\phi^k$ where $\phi:W\to W^\prime$ is a weak isomorphism such that $\phi(A)=A^\prime$.  Therefore,
\begin{flalign*}
\widehat\phi(A\otimes....\otimes I)=&(A^\prime\otimes....\otimes I),\\
\widehat\phi(I\otimes A\otimes....\otimes I)=&(I\otimes A^\prime\otimes....\otimes I),\\
&\vdots\\
\widehat\phi(I\otimes...\otimes A)=&(I\otimes...\otimes A^\prime)
\end{flalign*}
and $\widehat\phi(A^{\oplus k})=(A^\prime)^{\oplus k}$, proving (ii).

Combining (i), (ii) and (iii) gives us $\widehat{\phi}(H)=H^\prime$.
\end{proof}

Applying Theorem \ref{indistinguishable} gives us the following generalization of Theorem \ref{2bos}:
\begin{theorem}\label{kequivkbos}If $G$ and $G^\prime$ are $k$-equivalent graphs, then they are not distinguished by the interacting $k$-Boson quantum walk.\end{theorem}

\section{Conclusion}

Theorem \ref{kequivkbos}, along with the $k$-equivalent graph constructions given in \cite{Barghi:2009p42}, prove that there is no integer $k$ such that the interacting $k$-Boson quantum walk distinguishes all pairs of non-isomorphic graphs.  This gives a negative answer to a question posed in \cite{Gamble:2010p1085}.  However, while \cite{Gamble:2010p1085} is primarily concerned with strongly regular graphs, the constructions provided by \cite{Barghi:2009p42} are not strongly regular.  The power of multi-particle quantum walks to distinguish strongly regular graphs remains an open question--- a particularly interesting one since strongly regular graphs have particularly simple cellular closures.

Авро Ли́нкольн () — британский тяжёлый четырёхмоторный бомбардировщик, дальнейшее развитие известного бомбардировщика времён Второй мировой войны Авро Ланкастер. Первоначально считался модификацией Авро Ланкастер и обозначался Ланкастер IV и V, позднее получил обозначение Линкольн I и II соответственно. Первый полёт совершил 9 июня 1944 года. Последний бомбардировщик с поршневыми двигателями, принятый на вооружение Королевских военно-воздушных сил Великобритании.

История создания
Использование бомбардировщиков "Ланкастер" в заключительной фазе Второй мировой войны на Тихоокеанском театре военных действий было затруднено их недостаточной дальностью и бомбовой нагрузкой. Также была очевидна большая разница в качестве между британскими самолётами и американскими бомбардировщиками В-29.

В 1943 году командование Королевских ВВС разработало техническое задание на новый тяжёлый бомбардировщик адаптированный для работы на Дальнем Востоке. Новый самолёт должен был иметь большие радиус действия, бомбовую нагрузку и потолок. Создание нового бомбардировщика была поручена фирме Avro.

Создание нового самолёта продолжалось до середины 1944 года. При изготовлении на заводе самолёт имел обозначение Avro 694. В новой модели самолёта были использованы многие элементы конструкции "Ланкастера" и изначально бомбардировщик имел обозначение Lancaster IV и Lancaster V. Но отличий от прототипа было так много, что самолёт получил собственное название "Линкольн". Первый полёт состоялся в июле 1944 года, вскоре после высадки союзников в Нормандии.

От "Ланкастера" "Линкольн" отличался большими размерами. Был удлинён фюзеляж и изменена носовая часть. Увеличен размах крыла. Из-за возросшего веса самолёта было усилено шасси. Наиболее уязвимые части планера, двигателей и систем были бронированны

Конструкция
Avro Lincoln - тяжелый четырёхмоторный стратегический бомбардировщик. Экипаж семь человек: два пилота, штурман-бомбардир, штурман, радист и два стрелка. Штурман -бомбардир также выполнял обязанности стрелка, для чего он поднимался в носовую башню, где располагалась дистанционно управляемая турель.

Фюзеляж - цельнометаллический полумонокок. Технологически состоял из пяти секций: носовая со стрелковой башней, пилотская кабина, центральная секция, хвостовая секция и секция с задней стрелковой башней. Носовая секция была двухэтажной - снизу  располагалась остекленная кабина штурмана-бомбардира, там находился бомбовый прицел и селектор для сброса бомб, а на втором этаже дистанционно управляемая турель.

За носовой частью, над бомбоотсеком, располагалась кабина пилотов, сзади пилотов находились рабочие места штурмана и радиста, в хвостовой части размещались стрелки верхней и хвостовой башен. Под хвостовой частью фюзеляжа, в радиопрозрачном обтекателе устанавливалась антенна РЛС.

Крыло - двухлонжеронное с работающей обшивкой состояло из пяти частей: центроплан с гондолами внутренних двигателей собирался совместно со средней секцией фюзеляжа. Каждая из консолей состояла из двух секций, на внутренней секции размещались мотогондолы внешних двигателей. Элероны и закрылки двухсекционные. Закрылки цельнометаллические. Элероны с полотняной обшивкой.

Хвостовое оперение - двухкилевое. Стабилизатор крепится к хвостовой части фюзеляжа. На законцовках стабилизатора установлены кили овальной формы. Киль и стабилизатор двухлонжеронные. Рули высоты и направления цельнометаллические с весовой и аэродинамической компенсацией.

Шасси - трехстоечное с хвостовым колесом. Основные стойки шасси французской фирмы "Мессье Даути". Основные стойки убирались назад по полету в мотогондолы внутренних двигателей и после уборки закрывались створками.. Колеса основных стоек шасси были снабжены пневматическими тормозами. Амортизация масляно-воздушная. Хвостовое колесо неубираемое.

Силовая установка - четыре поршневых двенадцатицилиндровых V-образных двигателя жидкостного охлаждения Rollls-Royce Merlin 85 мощностью 1750 л.с. каждый. Воздушные винты трёхлопастные. Топливная система состояла из шести баков. Два мягких бака были установлены в консолях крыла между мотогондолами, два жестких бака в фюзеляже и два жестких бака в центроплане. Общий объем топлива в шести баках составлял 16 278 л.

Вооружение -  бомбовая нагрузка достигала почти 10т и размещалось в бомбоотсеке на внутренней подвеске. Стандартными считались бомбы весом 227 кг и 454 кг, но самолет мог нести и более тяжелые бомбы. Предусматривалась возможность подвески шести морских мин. Оборонительное вооружение - четыре пулемета "Браунинг" калибра 12,7 мм устанавливались по два в носовой и хвостовой башнях, в верхней башне размещала спарка 20 мм пушек "Бритиш Испано".

Оборудование -  самолет был оснащен радиолокационной станцией, прицельно-навигационным оборудованием, системой радионавигации. Для попутной разведки и контроля результатов бомбометания был установлен аэрофотоаппарат.

Производство
Испытания первых двух прототипов, проведённые в полном объёме, подтвердили неплохие лётные качества нового бомбардировщика, к тому же благодаря схожести с конструкцией "Ланкастера" экипажи легко его осваивали. Было принято решение заменить стратегические бомбардировщики Королевских ВВС на "Линкольны".

Министерство авиации Великобритании заказало серийное производство 2254 бомбардировщиков "Линкольн". Производство разворачивалось на предприятиях трёх фирм: "Авро" в Чаддертоне и в Йедоне, " Метрополитен-Виккерс" в Трэффорд Парке и "Армстронг-Уитворт" в Бэгинтоне. Первая модификация бомбардировщика В Mk.I с двигателями Rolls-Royce "Merlin" 85 оказалась не очень удачной, двигатели не выдавали заявленной мощности. Более перспективной оказалась модель В Mk.II с американскими двигателями "Packard-Merlin" 68.

Производственные линии по сборке "Линкольнов" были подготовлены в Канаде в компании "Виктори Эйркрафт" и в Австралии на Государственном авиационном заводе. Всего на британских заводах изготовили 3 прототипа, 82 "Lincoln" Mk.I и 465 "Lincoln" Mk.II. В Канаде, в связи с окончанием войны, производство было остановлено и был выпущен только один экземпляр Lincoln Mk.XV, еще четыре самолета были разобраны на стапелях, а сборка остальных 95 так и не состоялась

В Австралии начиная с 1946 г из деталей и агрегатов, поставляемых из Великобритании, было собрано 43 самолета модификации В Мк.30 и 30 В Мк.30А. Пока разворачивалось серийное производство бомбардировщиков Вторая Мировая война закончилась. Британское правительство приступило к переводу страны на мирное  положение. Были отменены крупные военные заказы в том числе и на бомбардировщики "Линкольн". Не вышли из стадии проектирования несколько перспективных модификаций.

Заводы фирмы "Авро" к 1947 году остановили сборку "Линкольнов". Только завод "Армстронг-Уитворт" выпускал бомбардировщики вплоть до апреля 1951 года, в том числе 18 самолетов изготовили для ВВС Аргентины. Всего в Аргентине эксплуатировалось 30 бомбардировщиков "Линкольн", 12 самолетов было приобретено бывших в эксплуатации.

Эксплуатация
Принят на вооружение в августе 1945 года и участия во Второй мировой войне не принимал. В 1950-х годах использовался Королевскими военно-воздушными силами для подавления восстания мау-мау и совместно Королевскими военно-воздушными силами Великобритании и Королевскими военно-воздушными силами Австралии во время войны в Малайе.В Аргентине использовался во время государственного переворота в сентябре 1955 года — «Освободительной революции», свергнувшей Хуана Перона. Использовался как правительственными войсками, так и противниками Перона. В 1963 году во время восстания аргентинского военно-морского флота использовался правительственными войсками как по прямому назначению, так и в роли воздушного командного пункта.

Военная карьера этих самолетов оказалась короткой, но география эксплуатации была очень обширной. Помимо метрополии "Линкольны" использовались в Малайзии, Кении и на Аравийском полуострове.

В ноябре 1946 года была осуществлена экспедиция под названием "Гудвилл Линкольн". В ходе которой несколько бомбардировщиков совершили перелет, протяженностью 32 000 км в столицу Чили Сантьяго.

Эскадрильи "Линкольнов" часто привлекались к различным военным учениям. К началу 1950-х годов наступала эра реактивной авиации и Королевские ВВС начали постепенно выводить "Линкольны" из боевых частей. Последним громким аккордом службы "Линкольнов" в Бомбардировочном командовании Королевского воздушного флота стало участие 45 бомбардировщиков в воздушном параде, просвещённом коронации Елизаветы II 15 июля 1953 года.

Оставшиеся на вооружении "Линкольны" были переориентированы на решение вспомогательных задач. До 1960 года самолеты использовались в качестве учебных в Школе бомбометания, а также служили для поддержания летных навыков экипажей, отобранных для новых реактивных бомбардировщиков. Одно звено "Линкольнов"  использовалось для отладки наземных радиолокационных станций. Один самолет был переоборудован под летающий танкер и использовался для отработки системы дозаправки в воздухе.

"Линкольны" использовались для испытания новых типов турбовинтовых и турбореактивных двигателей, некоторые самолеты были задействованы для испытания отдельных самолетных систем: образцов управляемого оружия; нового шасси; противообледенительных систем.

Имперская школа воздушной навигации переоборудовала один самолет для осуществления дальних перелетов. С бомбардировщика было демонтировано вооружение и установлены дополнительные топливные баки, доведя запас топлива до 20 916 л.  В 1950 году этот самолет совершил кругосветный перелет, преодолев за 28 дней 40 225 км. В следующем году он участвовал в арктической экспедиции, базируясь в Исландии.

Австралия эксплуатировала свои самолеты до июля 1961 года. Аргентина приспособила свои "линкольны" для гражданских целей. С одного из самолетов демонтировали вооружение, установив обтекатели, а в фюзеляже оборудовали грузоотсек и пассажирскую кабину на 12 мест, таким образом переоборудовав его в транспортный самолет для обеспечения арктических экспедиций. Еще один самолет, также переоборудованный под транспортный, получил дополнительные топливные баки совершил рекордный полет продолжительностью 20,5 часов в район Южного полюса. Аргентина эксплуатировала свои "линкольны" до 1967 года.

Avro Lincoln был последним британским стратегическим бомбардировщиком с поршневыми двигателями. Большая часть "Линкольнов" была утилизирована. До наших дней сохранилось четыре самолета. Два в Аргентине один в Австралии и один в Великобритании.

Инциденты с самолётом
Использовался Королевскими военно-воздушными силами Великобритании также в варианте разведчика. Так, 12 марта 1953 года самолёт-разведчик Линкольн над территорией Германии выполняя разведывательные задачи был сбит лётчиками 43-го истребительного авиационного полка ВВС СССР В. Ивановым и В. Алексеевым

Bette Davis and Claude Rains in Mr. Skeffington.
Mr. Skeffington was yet another starring vehicle for Bette Davis during her nearly 20 year run as the Queen of Warner Bros. Released in 1944 it gave Miss Davis her 7th Best Actress Academy Award nomination in 10 years. She was nominated in 1935, '38, '39, '40, '41, '42, and '44. She won twice, in '35 and '38 making her just the second actress to accomplish that feat (Luise Rainer was the first).
Mr. Skeffington is an epic melodrama about a woman who is the belle of New York City right before the First World War. It is different from most of Bette Davis' roles in that she is playing someone who is supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the city. Since Bette Davis was not a conventionally beautiful woman she seems, on the surface, to have been miscast. Somehow though she pulls off the part and makes you believe that she is incredibly beautiful and that many, many men are dying for her affections.
She marries Mr. Skeffington, a wealthy Jewish businessman whom she proceeds to treat more like a friend than a husband. She still gets visits and proposals from dozens of men, although she remains technically faithful to her doting husband. They have a daughter but soon after her husband returns from serving overseas they get a divorce. Fanny, not being interested in being a mother, let's her ex-husband raise their daughter while she continues her carefree life of men.
Time passes and the roaring '20's come and go. Somehow Fanny Skeffington manages to keep her looks. Then in 1935, shortly after seeing her now grown-up daughter for the first time in a decade, she comes down with diphtheria, a disease that ages her so that she goes from looking like a woman in her 30's to a woman of 60. She is in reality about 50. Her garish post-disease makeup foreshadows Baby Jane.
The ending is melodrama of the highest order. Fanny is crushed by the fact that she has lost her looks and with them all her male suitors. Then Job Skeffington returns from Europe, where he has been living for many years, escaping the clutches of the Nazi's shortly after their rise to power, and comes to see her. Fanny assumes that he will be like all the others, but destiny, under the swastika banner, has intervened, Mr. Skeffington is now blind. She will forever be the beautiful young Fanny to him. Fanny quotes one of her husband's favorite lines, "A woman is beautiful only when she is loved."
All the high drama is balanced with light humor. There is a running gag about Fanny constantly canceling luncheon dates with the never-seen Janey Clarkson. In fact the final moment of the movie mentions her.
Claude Rains is wonderful as the patient Job Skeffington. His name is a not very subtle Biblical reference. Fanny is a wonderful part. Bette Davis gives her a higher speaking voice than she normally used, and she really buries herself in the part, remaining in character the entire movie without ever letting the scenery chewing BETTE DAVIS take over the role.
This isn't the best movie of Bette Davis' amazing career but it is one of my personal favorites. It is a great movie for a rainy day or to catch late at night. It is easy to get caught up in the story and you may find yourself shedding a tear or two at the ending.

Location: Tavarua, Fiji
Event window: May 29 – June 3, 2016
Today's call: Fiji Women's Pro complete – Congratulations Johanne!
Conditions: 6 – 8 foot (2 – 2.5 metre)
TAVARUA, Fiji (Tuesday, May 31, 2016) – Johanne Defay (FRA) has claimed victory today at The Fiji Women's Pro, Stop No. 5 of 10 on the 2016 Samsung Galaxy WSL Championship Tour (CT), besting reigning three-time WSL Champion Carissa Moore (HAW) in six-to-eight foot (2 – 2.5 metre) surf at Cloudbreak.
"I've never beat Carissa (Moore) before," Defay said. "She is such an amazing surfer and she took 9-point rides in every heat. It is crazy and I am so happy. I want to thank my family because they have been up all night watching."
Today is the second elite CT win for Defay, who claimed her first CT victory at the Vans US Open last year. The 2015 Fiji Women's Pro semifinalist dispatched Courtney Conlogue (USA) in the Quarterfinals and Bethany Hamilton (HAW) in the Semifinals before facing Moore. Previously at 7th place on the Jeep Leaderboard, the result moves her to 4th place.
"The waves were really incredible for us this year – we are so fortunate," Defay said. "All the girls were ripping. I felt like I wasn't surfing very smart heats leading up to the Final. I was getting good waves at the end and advancing so I wanted to start strong in the Final. I'm so stoked right now."
The Final match-up saw extraordinary performances from both surfers. Defay dropped an excellent 8.40 with massive hacks and clean turns in the pocket. With less than ten minutes left on the clock, sets out the back gave both surfers opportunities to improve their scores. Moore set up with a huge backside hack, but fell on her second maneuver. Defay attacked the lip to lock in an 8.70, putting the three-time World Champion in a combination situation with less than five minutes left. Moore was not able to find the waves to combat Defay's 17.10.
"I was having an okay year but this really helps me get into a better place for me on the rankings," Defay said. "The next few events are usually strong for me so I hope to keep the results coming."
Defay heads into the upcoming Vans U.S. Open of Surfing as the defending event winner.
The Fiji Women's Pro marks Moore's first Final appearance of the season and her best result at the event. Moore put on a flawless performance en route to the Final, including a perfect 10 in her Quarterfinal match-up against Laura Enever (AUS). The runner-up finish will see her stay in the 3rd position on the Jeep Leaderboard.
"It was really an amazing event and I'm really happy with the way everyone surfed," Moore said. "Disappointing that I wasn't able to stay in rhythm for the Final, but congratulations to Johanne (Defay), she surfed incredible."
"Fiji has been a challenging event for me in past years so it felt great to get some solid waves and big scores under my belt here," Moore continued. "Big thanks to my coach, C.J. Hobgood, and to my support team here at home. Finals is a good result and I'll look to build upon it at the next event in Huntington Beach."
Bethany Hamilton (HAW), global sporting icon and wildcard into the Fiji Women's Pro, was eliminated in Semifinal 1 by Defay. The Frenchwoman set the rhythm early by unleashing vertical maneuvers to earn a near-perfect 9.20. Defay backed up her opening ride with an 8.27, forcing Hamilton to find two new scores. Defay continued to strengthen her two-wave total, throwing away solid scoring rides. Hamilton fought back with sharp cutbacks, but was not able to defeat Defay.
Hamilton caused a series of upsets as she blazed through the draw, eliminating world No. 1 Tyler Wright (AUS) in Round 2 and defeating six-time WSL Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) in Round 3, before taking down Nikki Van Dijk (AUS) in the Quarterfinals. This event marks Hamilton's sixth appearance in a Championship Tour event and the third-place finish is her best ever CT result.
"Coming here and competing in the Fiji Women's Pro is a dream come true and I am stoked with how I did," Hamilton said. "The women on the Championship Tour are surfing amazing right now and the level continues to get better and better. I have so much respect for all the girls and it has been an amazing time here. I am so thankful for my husband's and family's support and all of my fans for cheering me on. It has been an incredible experience."
Bianca Buitendag (ZAF), 2015 event runner-up, took on Moore in an epic Semifinal clash. The two surfers went wave for wave to secure a spot in the Finals. Moore got off to an incredible start with powerful backhand snaps that earned her a near-perfect 9.77. Buitendag battled back with an excellent 8.27 and 7.83 to take the lead in the last ten minutes. Under pressure, Moore responded with solid rides to regain the lead. Moore continued to improve her situation by delivering another near perfect score, a 9.27, forcing Buitendag to find two new scores with five minutes left. Buitendag's 3rd place finish marks her best result this season. Buitendag will remain at 9th place on the Jeep Leaderboard.
"Learning from the best, like Carissa, will help me improve," said Buitendag. "The way Carissa approaches the lip is much more committed and critical to what I had done. Definitely that and spending more time on lefts, because I do not do that as often. There is so much to learn from all of these girls and I am so happy to be a part of it."
In a heated re-match of the 2015 Fiji Women's Pro final, Buitendag previously edged out defending event winner Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS) in the Quarterfinals by just 3.73 points, ending Fitzgibbons' run for a third-consecutive event Title. This 5th place finish will see Fitzgibbons remain 5th on the Jeep Rankings.
Courtney Conlogue (USA) was eliminated in the Quarterfinals by Defay. Conlogue controlled the heat with a 14.00 two-wave score, but an aggressive three turn combo under Conlogue's priority earned Defay an excellent 9.17. Conlogue was given one last opportunity advance in the dying minutes of the heat, but could not close the 1.07 gap on Defay.
"In the start of the heat I definitely had control of it," Conlogue said. "As I came around, I lost my rhythm with the ocean and Johanne ended up maximizing on it and I made a few mistakes in that heat. I just have to go back to the drawing board and learn from my mistakes heading into the US Open. I am trying to win events and surf the best I can. When I get to the US Open that is what I will be working on."
Conlogue's 5th place finish in Fiji has earned her back the WSL Jeep Leader's' Jersey at the upcoming Vans US Open of Surfing.

Heads up to all Nags Head vacationers!
The Towns of Buxton and Nags Head are planning a Beach Nourishment project scheduled for 2018.
The Town of Nags Head is working towards conducting its first beach nourishment maintenance project. Plans call for sand to be placed on 10 miles of beach during the summer of 2018. Nags Head's oceanfront from the Bonnett Street public beach access at 2919 S. Virginia Dare Trail (near Mile Post 11) south to the town line with the National Park Service (near Mile Post 21) will be impacted over the 4 to 5 month-long project.
The Town is now awaiting permits and hopes to receive construction bids in late March or April. The bid amounts may make it more feasible to delay construction until the summer of 2019; however, the preferred goal is to conduct the work in 2018. Construction is not slated to begin until late June/early July 2018. Dune stabilization measures such as sprigging and fencing will also be included in the project.
*This information has been provided by Dare County and the town affiliates. This information is not binding and dates of scheduled nourishment are subject to change.

This interview with Tobi Lütke, C.E.O. of Shopify, an e-commerce software company, was conducted and condensed by Adam Bryant.
A. I grew up in Koblenz, a small town in Germany. I got my first computer when I was 6, and I was part of that early generation of children who grew up with computers always being around. I fell in love with them early on.
Tell me about the culture of your company.
We're very honest about everyone's strengths and weaknesses. We even post them on our internal wiki. Everyone is invited to do it, and they can explain how they like to work and what they value. It takes a year of working together until you sort of understand people. We've always been looking for ways to accelerate this.
Another concept we talk a lot about is something called a "trust battery." It's charged at 50 percent when people are first hired. And then every time you work with someone at the company, the trust battery between the two of you is either charged or discharged, based on things like whether you deliver on what you promise.
Humans already work like this. It's just that we decided to create a metaphor so that we can talk about this in performance reviews without people feeling like the criticisms are personal.
Of the initial team of us that started the company, none of us had any kind of experience of building a company or managing. But we are all supercommitted learners, ferocious readers and personal-growth junkies. So we really committed to giving each other feedback, and we're trying to expand that to the entire company.
I work under the assumption that we have no idea how to build companies yet, and that 50 years from now people will look back at the companies of today and they will seem like the black-and-white footage of the first hockey games. We have no idea how to build the best companies yet. To me, that's the most interesting part. Trying to build a company that I'm going to be less embarrassed about in 50 years than all my peers is a great motivator for me.
This is something we get from the life story without ever asking the question explicitly, which is so much more powerful because people often know how they're supposed to answer.
It's pretty simple. I just tell them to optimize their choices to be exposed to growth. Being part of something that's growing fast is better than being part of something that isn't growing fast because opportunities are essentially everywhere and you're not competing for something.
And I tell people to not treat a career as a ladder. That's really the most important thing. At our company, we talk about career being more like a jungle gym.

Sheridan az Amerikai Egyesült Államok északnyugati részén, Oregon állam Yamhill megyéjében elhelyezkedő város. A 2020. évi népszámlálási adatok alapján 4639 lakosa van.

Története
Absolem B. Faulconer 1847-ben érkezett a térségbe; a települést a földhivatalnál 1866. december 13-án jegyezték be. Az 1866. április 4-én megnyílt posta első vezetője Faulconer fivére, Thomas volt. 1871-ben szálloda, kocsiszerviz, templom, iskola és kettő kovácsműhely is volt itt. A Dayton, Sheridan and Grande Ronde Railroad keskeny nyomtávú vasútvonala 1878 októberében érte el a települést.

Sheridan 1880-ban kapott városi rangot. Névadója a mai Grand Ronde-i rezervátum területén fekvő Fort Yamhillbe rendelt Philip Sheridan tábornok. 1894-ben a lakosságszám elérte a négyszáz főt; ekkor már bank és malom is működött. McMinnville felé postakocsik és vonatok is közlekedtek; a folyón való átkelést egy fahíd biztosította.

Kezdetben a legfontosabb iparág a mezőgazdaság volt; 1910 körül többek között komlót, lóherét, almát és szilvát is termesztettek. 1910 márciusában a Sheridan Lumber Company dolgozói a magasabb bérért sztrájkba kezdtek; a törekvéseiket támogató Industrial Workers of the World Portlandben megakadályozta, hogy a cégek sztrájktörőket alkalmazzanak. Az alkalmazottak bérét végül napi 25 centtel (mai árfolyamon körülbelül 7,3 dollárral) emelték. Az 1913. július 18-án kiütött tűz a belvárosban háromszázezer dolláros kárt okozott; az épületek többségét fél éven belül téglából újjáépítették. 1930. október 30-án a jezsuiták egy 361 hektáros farmot vásároltak, ahol papneveldét indítottak; a létesítményt a következő évtizedekben folyamatosan bővítették.

1932-ben megnyílt a mai Oregon Route 18; a Déli-Yamhill folyón ma is álló acélhidat 1939-ben adták át. 1940-ben a mezőgazdaság még mindig fontos szerepet töltött be; ekkorra a népességszám meghaladta az ezer főt. Az OR-18 elkerülő szakasza 1957-ben készült el. A Yamhill folyó 1964. december 22-ei áradása a várost két napra elszigetelte a külvilágtól. A jezsuiták a papneveldét 1974-ben eladták a Szcientológia Egyházzal kapcsolatban álló Delphian Foundationnek.

1989-ben átadták a kis és közepes biztonsági fokozatú rabok fogva tartására tervezett szövetségi börtönt. A fogvatartottakat is hozzászámolják a város népességéhez; a 2000. évi népszámláláskor a Népszámlálási Hivatal tévesen rögzítette a börtönpopuláció nagyságát, ezért a Legfelsőbb Bíróság elrendelte a választókerületek újrarajzolását. 2008-ban az 1875-ben épült metodista templom leégett.

Földrajz és éghajlat

Földrajz
Az Oregon-hegylánc lábánál fekvő várost észak–déli irányban elválasztó Déli-Yamhill folyó rendszeresen megárad.

Éghajlat
A város éghajlata mediterrán (a Köppen-skála szerint Csb).

Gazdaság
A legnagyobb foglalkoztatók a mezőgazdaság, a faipar, valamint a gyártó- és a szolgáltatóipar. A legtöbb embert a Spirit Mountain kaszinó, a szövetségi börtön és a Liberty Home építőipari vállalat alkalmazzák.

A Main és Bridge utcák által határolt kereskedelmi negyedben található a város egyetlen jelzőlámpája.

Közigazgatás
A közbiztonságért a Yamhill megyei seriff hivatala felel, amely az egykori vasútállomás épületében működő városházán rendőrőrsöt tart fenn. A városnak saját tűzoltósága, valamint víz- és szennyvízszolgáltatója van. A településnek kettő parkja van.

Kultúra
Az 1892-ben épült Travelers Home villa 1982-ben bekerült a történelmi helyek jegyzékébe. A Chemeketa regionális könyvtári együttműködésben részt vevő városi intézmény a Bridge és Yamhill utcák csomópontjában fekszik. A Sheridan Museum of Historyban a térségből származó leletek és fotók vannak kiállítva.

A Sheridan Hometown Dayst és a Mud Dragset évente rendezik meg; előbbin felvonulást, utóbbin autóversenyt tartanak.

Oktatás
A város közoktatási intézményeinek fenntartója a Sheridani Tankerület. A közelben fekvő The Delphian School a Szcientológia Egyházzal kapcsolatban álló magánintézmény.

Közlekedés
A város az alábbi közutakon közelíthető meg:
 Oregon Route 18
 Oregon Route 18 Business

A térségben három magánrepülőtér (Deer Creek, George és Poverty Hollow) található. A Yamhill Community Action Partnership keretében McMinnville irányába menetrend szerinti autóbusz közlekedik.

Média
Az 1890-ben alapított The Sun hetilap 1263 példányban jelenik meg.

Ufóészlelés
Paul és Evelyn Trent farmja volt az 1950. májusi McMinnville-i ufóészlelés helyszíne. A sajtóban megjelentekkel ellentétben a telek nem McMinnville-ben, hanem Sheridanben található.

Forum Index » Readers Comment on the JEA, Issue No.1 2015 » Individual stakeholder interests vs enterprise-wide goals?
In our article "Measuring Enterprise Architecture Effectiveness using Key Performance Indicators", it is stated that "at some point, specific stakeholder interests may have to prevail for enterprise-wider goals" (p. 48). This formulation could lead to some confusion. Initially, we meant to say that specific stakeholder interests that do not align with the longer-term vision may be considered inferior to enterprise-wide goals. This, however, is an interesting discussion in itself: to what extent are specific stakeholder interests inferior to "the greater good"?
My sincerest apologies to both the authors of this article and the JEA readership. Due to a "cockpit error" on my part, the version of this article that I forwarded to the production staff was the next to last version that came out of the editing process. The final version read "specific stakeholder interests may have to make way for enterprise-wider goals".

This dictionary is exactly what an English speaker beginning Chinese needs, which allows an English speaker to translate easily into Chinese. It's easy to read, logically laid out and accessible with the vocabulary building panels and the grammar boxes. It also lists the appropriate measure word with each noun in its definition. The book contains numerous examples of usage, which helps beginners avoid speaking in English syntax with Chinese vocabulary. Also, the different senses of each word are distinguished clearly with examples. For more details and the reviews of this book, or to buy this book, click here.
This is one of the best Chinese dictionaries. It has many pictures with all the words you would need associated with it. For those learning Chinese, and wanting to increase your word power, this is an excellent book. Inside this book are around 6,000 (Chinese equivalent of) words divided into categories, in sections of around 25 words each. It is a must for everyone that is eager to expand his vocabulary but feels a little bit intimidated by the classic, non illustrated, dictionaries. Familiarising yourself with the vocabulary in this book will give you an excellent grounding on the road to fluency in Chinese.

Marshawn Lynch's Bay Area Mansion Is the Most Lavish NFL Player House
By Mary Jo Bowling Feb 8, 2016, 4:45pm PST
The people have spoken: Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is the NFL player who owns the most over-the-top mansion. His 7,000-square-foot waterfront retreat triumphed over Tom Brady's former French villa-inspired estate to be named the champion of the first ever real estate Super Bowl. Since Lynch has just announced his retirement and has opened his clothing store, Beast Mode, in his beloved hometown of Oakland, it's not a stretch to think he'll take up residence soon.

Last year, Macy's was among the worst performing stocks in the S&P 500. Today, the beaten-down department-store chain demonstrated its commitment to better performance by firing 3,000 workers and offering--this is my favorite--"a voluntary separation opportunity" for 165 senior executives." Macy's is also closing 40 stores.
These moves, according to the company's press release, will save some $400 million, and "represent progress toward the company's previously stated goal of re-attaining over time an EBITDA rate as a percent of sales of 14 percent."
Shares of Macy's have jumped 2.6% to $ 37.07 at 5:53 p.m. in after-hours trading. They dropped 2.2% during regular market hours.

If a problem is found, then sometimes bespoke orthoses can be prescribed to improve your foot posture.
Sometimes more basic insoles, podiatry treatments, stretching exercises and footwear advice can be used to alleviate pain.
If you have diabetes you should have your feet checked at least annually by an appropriately qualified podiatrist. Andrew Barker has specialised in the field for over 18 years working as part of a specialist diabetes team.
If you have any diabetic foot problems please make an appointment, or if you simple want your feet assessed and checked why not book in for a diabetic screening appointment.
Bunions and hammer toes can be extremely painful and can lead to painful callus and corns.
They can often be treated without the need for considering surgery.
It is essential to identify as early as possible, any problems that might need specialist treatment in order to prevent problems in later life.
Common problems treated include flat feet, curly toes, verrucae (warts) and lower leg pains.
Routine treatments usually include the removal of painful lesions such as corns and callus as well as nail care.
These can be treated and measures put in place to limit discomfort and help to prevent reoccurrence.
Corns and callus are a common problem that can be very painful.
Toe nails can become thickened and curved in becoming painful and difficult to manage. They can usually be treated without any discomfort.
Occasionally, they need to removed permanently which involves a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthesia.
The way we stand, walk and run all has an impact on our lower limb and foot health. If someone has poor foot posture or mechanics, this can lead to a host of problems involving the foot, leg, knee, hip and back.
Common foot problems such as flat feet, heel pain and plantar fasciitis can be treated following a biomechanical examination, where your walking (gait) pattern, posture, joint condition and alignment and muscle power are all looked at.
Andrew Barker is a member of The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists and registered with Health and Care Professions Council.
He has over 20 years experience in dealing with all aspects of foot care.
