Carey Mulligan Called Out This Major Issue For Women In The Film Industry
Lars Niki/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
By Emily Dixon
Earlier this year, Carey Mulligan revealed that her second pregnancy was written into the script of Collateral, the BBC drama in which her character, Detective Inspector Kip Glaspie, just happened to be pregnant. Now, the actor has condemned the lack of support for working parents on film and TV sets, saying that arranging childcare puts a significant financial burden on those with young children. Speaking to the Radio Times, Carey Mulligan said film sets should offer childcare to enable members of the cast and crew to "come and do their job."
As the Guardian reports, Mulligan spoke about the progress made in Hollywood since the Harvey Weinstein scandal and the subsequent spread of the #MeToo movement, commending the introduction of on-set codes of conduct. But the industry continues to falter, Mulligan said, when it comes to supporting working mothers. "I don't think being a working mother in our industry has been made that much easier," the actor said. "It's incredibly difficult. Childcare is so expensive."
"I've never, ever been on a set where they have childcare, but I've been on lots of sets where lots of people have very young children," Mulligan told the Radio Times. The actor has two children, 3-year-old Evelyn and 1-year-old Wilfred, and took Evelyn on the set of her recent films Mudbound and Wildlife. "Loads of the crew had kids, but they had to arrange childcare. It's always incredibly complicated," she explained. Offering childcare, she said, "would make it possible for a lot of talented people to come and do their job."

Mulligan was able to accept her role in February's Collateral after the part was altered by writer David Hare to incorporate her second pregnancy, the actor told What's on TV. "He said he didn't see why Kip couldn't be pregnant and only added two references to the pregnancy in the entire show," she said. "We just put a bump in and got on with it, and as my real bump grew we just took away the fake bump."
Hare told IndieWire, "It seemed to me that it was an ideal opportunity to say that there are women who proceed with their jobs and behave in a completely normal way and get on it with it while being pregnant. All I knew was that I didn't want to make a big fuss about it and that it should just be a fact that she is pregnant."
According to Harper's Bazaar, Mulligan said, "Being pregnant had to become part of the story, and what I loved about it was that there was no, 'oh, no goodness me' [mimics back pain], or 'oh, he/she just kicked'." She continued, "No pregnant acting was allowed, and no crying, which was a revelation. So she doesn't cry. She's a working woman, who's working though her pregnancy."
Still, the actor told the Radio Times that her experience on Collateral was an outlier in the film industry. "I don't think we're at the level where it's acceptable across the board yet," she said. "I think if people can hide it, they do."

This was a very fun BOM QAL in 2014 by Cindy at Quilt Doodle Doodle. Cindy is going to have a blog hop on January 24- 26th to showcase the 2014 QAL. I got motivated to finished mine up!
Cindy is hosting another QAL for 2015. The block of the month is free during each month.
I was so excited on the 1st of each month to rush to Cindy' blog to see what the new quilt block(s) would be.
Month by month, progress was made.
As each section was completed, it was exciting to lay them together to see how it was going to look. All so cute, but isn't the bright colored lights row fabulous? You can see I started getting a little scrappy due to making sure I didn't run out of that blue glitter fabric and also to break it up a bit.
I did a loose loop quilting design to keep it softer and the house got a little special FMQ with some roof shingles, siding, feathers in the heart on the roof, and some embroidered details with a Christmas tree in the window and some outlining on the door, the window, and the heart.
I decided to follow suit and used 100% polyester batting. I can already tell it will be warmer.
It sure was a fun quilt along, but I'm not done since I started another one along the way!
I'll have to get back to this batik version soon.
Linking up at Crazy Mom Quilts.
what a nice quilt, I really like your FMQ as well.
I'm always afraid of running out of fabric too.
Your QDD quilt is beautiful. I made it also, but it isn't quilted yet. Love what you did with yours, and the second one as well. Also love your cat pillows; too cute.
Absolutely adorable. Love the steam coming off the cups of cocoa. Your quilting was perfect too!
What a gorgeous finish, Sheri! I just love your version! I am chuckling about your worrying about running out of the blue glitter fabric! But your scrappy touches are just perfect, as is your quilting!


The exact origin of the passage is not fully clear. The passage came to general attention in 1647. Some self proclaimed witches women who were being tried for witchcraft declared that they had been unable to do harm where there was a cross. The St. Michael's Benedictine Abbey in Metten (founded in 766) was particularly exempt from their influence. A search of the monastery turned up crosses painted on the walls with the formula's initials. No one was sure the purpose of the letters.
St Benedict with cross and formula.
The meaning of those letters remained a mystery for some time. The letters were found to be an old formula for protection against evil. This formula's complete verses were found in a manuscript dating to 1415 in the abbey's library, next to an image of St. Benedict. The same formula was later found in an Austrian manuscript from 1340/50.
protection of St. Benedict. No particular prayer is prescribed, as the devout wearing itself is a continual silent prayer.
What you offer me is evil / You drink the poison yourself."

\section*{Introduction}
For several decades, assessing the existence of genuine quantum behavior~\cite{Sanpera:2018rep} and quantifying coherence in quantum systems~\cite{plenio:2018rmp} have remained as fundamental open problems, critical to applications in computation and information processing. A seminal breakthrough in this direction was made by Leggett and Garg~\cite{leggett,emary}, who considered the conditions that a macroscopic system entirely described by classical physics should satisfy. These are macroscopic realism (a system's property is well defined at every time regardless of whether it is observed or not) and noninvasive measurability (the system is unaffected by measurements on it). When these conditions are met, the system satisfies the so-called Leggett-Garg inequalities (LGIs). The experimental observation of their violation, which serves as witness of quantum coherence, has been sought intensively and reported in various platforms~\cite{palacios,goggin,knee,dressel,zhou2015prl}. \\
\\
In order to establish realistic conditions where LGIs are maximally violated, providing optimal settings for quantum protocols performed in a particular system, its unavoidable coupling to the environment has to be considered. Recent theoretical research on few-qubit systems has determined that Markovian noise degrades quantumness~\cite{emary2013pra,lobejko2015pra,Friedenberger:2017pra,chanda2018pra,ban2018qip}, while non-Markovianity helps restore it~\cite{chen2014scirep,naikoo:2018,datta:2018}. However, many-body interacting systems, where spectacular effects resulting from quantum coherence emerge, remain unexplored within this effort. The non-trivial impact of dissipation in multilevel systems is known to induce unexpected beneficial effects, as entanglement generation and quantum state engineering~\cite{diehl2008nat,verstraete2009nat,lin2013nat,kienzler2015sci}, restoration of hidden quantum phase transitions~\cite{zhang:2017} and environment-assisted transport~\cite{plenio2008njp,mohseni_jcp2008,chin2010njp,sinayskiy_prl2012}, recently observed in several quantum simulators~\cite{viciani2015prl,gorman2018prx,potocnik2018nat,maier2019prl}. Thus such systems constitute attractive candidates for uncovering novel mechanisms of LGI violation enhancement.\\
\\
In the present work we establish such mechanisms in testbed open many-body systems. We show that not only particle interactions, but also bulk dephasing, can increase the violation of LGIs in Markovian systems. For this we assess the quantumness of the transport supported by interacting spin chains when driven out of equilibrium by unequal boundary reservoirs, a configuration considered so far for LGIs on single-particle systems only~\cite{lambert2010prl,castillo2013pra}. Using a minimal model to illustrate the basic ingredients responsible for this phenomenon, we argue that it can emerge under a wide range of conditions.

\section*{Methods}
\subsection*{Nonequilibrium setup}
We consider a spin-$1/2$ chain coupled to two reservoirs of unequal magnetization at its boundaries, as depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig_1}. These induce a net homogeneous spin current in its nonequilibrium steady state (NESS)~\cite{Prosen:2009,Benenti:2009,Mendoza:2013a,Mendoza:2013b,Znidaric:2016,Marko:2017ann}. The chain is characterized by the one-dimensional XXZ Hamiltonian
\begin{eqnarray}\label{Hxxz}
\hat{\mathcal{H}}=\tau\sum_{n=1}^{L-1}\pas{\hat{\sigma}_{n}^{x}\hat{\sigma}_{n+1}^{x}+\hat{\sigma}_{n}^{y}\hat{\sigma}_{n+1}^{y}+\Delta \hat{\sigma}_{n}^{z}\hat{\sigma}_{n+1}^{z}},
\end{eqnarray}
where $\hat{\sigma}_{n}^{\alpha}$ are the Pauli matrices $(\alpha=x,y,z)$, $L$ is the number of sites, $\tau$ is the exchange interaction (we set the energy scale by taking $\tau=1$), and $\Delta$ is the anisotropy along $z$ direction; we take $\Delta\geq0$ without loss of generality. When mapping the model to a spinless-fermion description, $\tau$ corresponds to the hopping and $\tau\Delta$ to a density-density interaction; thus $\Delta>1$ is referred to as the strongly-interacting regime.\\
\begin{figure}[h!]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{Figure_1.pdf}
\caption{Scheme of the system under study. An XXZ spin chain is coupled to unequal reservoirs at its boundaries, which drive it to a NESS where a spin current $J$ flows from left to right. The nonequilibrium $\Delta-f$ phase diagram is also shown, where characteristic magnetization profiles are depicted for each conduction regime. These correspond to a flat profile for ballistic transport, a ramp with homogeneous slope for diffusion, and ferromagnetic domains for the insulating state.}\label{fig_1}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
The boundary reservoirs are modeled as noninteracting spin chains with different average magnetization. In addition, both are weakly coupled to the XXZ chain, and their time correlations decay very rapidly, so their memory effects can be neglected (Markov approximation). Furthermore, the so-called wide-band limit is considered, where the bandwidths of the reservoirs, proportional to their hopping rates, are much larger than the bandwidth of the XXZ chain. Invoking these assumptions~\cite{Benenti:2009,jjthesis}, and following standard microscopic derivations where the degrees of freedom of the reservoirs are traced out~\cite{breuer}, it is shown that the dynamics of the chain under the influence of the environment is governed by a Lindblad master equation,
\begin{equation} \label{lindblad}
\dot{\hat{\rho}}_{t}=\hat{\mathcal{L}}(\hat{\rho})=-i\pas{\hat{\mathcal{H}},\hat{\rho}} + \sum_k\hat{V}_{k}\hat{\rho} \hat{V}_k^{\dagger}-\frac{1}{2}\pac{\hat{V}_k^{\dagger}\hat{V}_k,\hat{\rho}}.
\end{equation}
Here $\hat{\rho}$ is the density matrix of the chain, $\hat{\mathcal{L}}$ is the Lindblad superoperator, $\{.,.\}$ is the anticommutator of two operators, and $\hat{V}_k$ correspond to the jump operators establishing the coupling of the chain to the environment. For the boundary driving we consider operators that annihilate $\pap{\hat{V}^{-}}$ and create $\pap{\hat{V}^{+}}$ spin excitations at both the left ($\ell$) and right ({\it r}) edges of the chain, given by $\hat{V}_{{\it r},\ell}^{-}=\sqrt{\Gamma(1\mp f)}\hat{\sigma}_{1,L}^{-}$ and $\hat{V}_{{\it r},\ell}^{+}=\sqrt{\Gamma(1\pm f)}\hat{\sigma}_{1,L}^+$.
Here $\Gamma$ is the coupling strength (we take $\Gamma=1$), and $\pm f$ are the average magnetizations per spin (in dimensionless units~\cite{Benenti:2009}) of the left/right reservoirs. Thus the parameter $f$ ($0\leq f\leq1$) is the driving, as it establishes the magnetization imbalance between the boundaries. If $f=0$, spin excitations are created and annihilated at the same rate on both boundaries, so there is no net magnetization imbalance and thus no spin transport. If $f>0$, more excitations are created (annihilated) on the left-most (right-most) site of the lattice, inducing a net current resulting from a left-to-right flow and its weaker backflow. We also consider bulk dephasing processes, arising from the coupling of every site of the XXZ chain to local harmonic vibrational degrees of freedom corresponding to the oscillation of the lattice, and quantized in terms of linear phonons~\cite{jjthesis}. Tracing out these degrees of freedom, and considering the wide-band limit, the resulting jump operators are $\hat{V}_{n}^{z}=\sqrt{\gamma}\,\hat{\sigma}_{n}^{z}$ ($n=1,\ldots,L$), where $\gamma$ is the homogeneous dephasing rate.\\
\\
When the spin chain evolves in time as dictated by Eq.~\eqref{lindblad}, it eventually reaches its unique NESS, given by $\hat{\rho}_{\infty} = \lim_{t\to\infty}\hat{\rho}\pap{t}=\lim_{t\to\infty}\exp{\pas{\hat{\mathcal{L}}\pap{t}}}\hat{\rho}\pap{0}$, with $\hat{\rho}\pap{0}$ an initial state. Its transport properties are characterized by its magnetization profile $\langle\hat{\sigma}_{n}^{z}\rangle$ and the homogeneous spin current ${\rm J}=\langle \hat{{\rm J}}_{n}\rangle$, with $\hat{{\rm J}}_{n}=2(\hat{\sigma}_{n}^{x}\hat{\sigma}_{n+1}^{y}-\hat{\sigma}_n^y\hat{\sigma}_{n+1}^{x})$. The phase diagram of the dephasing-free model, obtained from the behavior of both quantities, is depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig_1}. For weak driving $f$ (linear response), $\Delta<1$ shows ballistic conduction while for $\Delta>1$ the system satisfies a normal diffusion equation~\cite{Prosen:2009,Benenti:2009}. This indicates a nonequilibrium quantum phase transition at the isotropic point $\Delta=1$, which is super-diffusive~\cite{Znidaric:2011b}. For large driving $f$ and $\Delta>1$, negative differential conductivity (NDC) emerges, leading to an insulting state at maximal driving $f=1$ in which opposite-polarized ferromagnetic domains suppress transport~\cite{Benenti:2009,Mendoza:2013a,Mendoza:2013b}. This behavior is absent at $\Delta<1$, where transport remains ballistic for any $f$.\\
\\
In the presence of dephasing, spin transport is monotonically degraded with $\gamma$ and becomes diffusive for $\Delta<1$~\cite{Znidaric:2010}, while it is largely enhanced with $\gamma$ for $\Delta>1$, a manifestation of strong correlations~\cite{Mendoza:2013a}. The enhancement vastly increases with driving, as dephasing washes out the NDC and induces an insulator-conducting transition at $f=1$.

\section*{Results}
\subsection*{Leggett-Garg Inequalities Calculation}
As shown by Leggett and Garg~\cite{leggett,emary}, macroscopic classical systems satisfy the inequaity $\mathcal{C}\pap{t_1,t_2}+\mathcal{C}\pap{t_2,t_3}-\mathcal{C}\pap{t_1,t_3}\leq 1$ $(t_1<t_2<t_3)$. Here $\mathcal{C}\pap{t_i,t_j}$ denotes the two-time correlations of a dichotomic operator $\hat{Q}$ (with eigenvalues $\pm1$) between times $t_i$ and $t_j$, and is given by $\mathcal{C}\pap{t_i,t_j}=\frac{1}{2}\langle\pac{\hat{Q}\pap{t_i},\hat{Q}\pap{t_j}}\rangle$. For the NESS $\hat{\rho}_{\infty}$, which is unaffected by an evolution under $\hat{\mathcal{L}}$, this correlation with $t_i<t_j$ is given by
\begin{equation} \label{time_correl}
\mathcal{C}\pap{{\rm t_{i},t_{j}}}={\rm Re}\left(\rm{Tr}\pas{\hat{Q}\exp{\pas{\hat{\mathcal{L}}\pap{t_j-t_i}}}\hat{Q}\hat{\rho}_{\infty}}\right).
\end{equation}
Thus, $\mathcal{C}\pap{t_i,t_j}=\mathcal{C}\pap{0,t_j-t_i}$, and taking time intervals $t_2-t_1=t_3-t_2=t$, the LGI reduces to $\mathcal{K}\pap{t}\equiv 2\mathcal{C}\pap{t}-\mathcal{C}\pap{2t}\leq1$, where we define the Leggett-Garg function $\mathcal{K}(t)$, and $\mathcal{C}(t)\equiv \mathcal{C}\pap{0,t}$. Note that we cannot regard the nature of transport as classical from observing that the LGI for some $\hat{Q}$ is satisfied, as it might not capture the quantum correlations that inequalities for other measurements might. However, we do assess genuine quantum behavior when one LGI is violated~\cite{lambert2010prl}.\\
\\
We focus on LGIs when performing measurements of local observables $\hat{Q}=\hat{\sigma}_{{\it  l}}^{\alpha}$ ($\alpha=x,z$) for site ${\it  l}=L/2$ on the NESS $\hat{\rho}_{\infty}$. In this form we reduce edge effects as much as possible; however we have verified that the results are qualitatively the same when performing the measurements on different sites (see Fig. S2 of the Supplementary Information (SI)). To evaluate the LGIs violation in the boundary-driven setup for large systems, we obtain their NESS applying the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group~\cite{Zwolak:2004,Cirac:2004}, describing the state by a matrix product structure~\cite{Prosen:2009,Schollwock:2011}. Then we calculate the time evolution of Eq.~\eqref{time_correl} to obtain the single-site two-time correlations, from which the Leggett-Garg function $\mathcal{K}(t)$ follows immediately. Our simulations are based on the open-source Tensor Network Theory (TNT) library~\cite{tnt,tnt_review1}. This constitutes a novel and topical application of matrix product states, fueled by the growing interest in evaluating two-time correlations in dissipative many-body systems~\cite{poletti:2015,everest2017prb,he2017prl,wang2018pre,wolff:2018}.

\subsection*{Controlling LGI violations with interactions: dephasing free case} We now show that violations of LGIs can be tuned by interactions, and can indicate nonequilibrium quantum phase transitions. For this we consider the linear-response regime, where the system presents a transition from ballistic ($\Delta<1$) to diffusive ($\Delta>1$) spin transport. In Figs.~\ref{fig_2}(a) and~\ref{fig_2}(b) we show $\mathcal{C}_{\alpha}\pap{t}$ for $\alpha=x,z$, which measure the response of the system when adding or removing a spin excitation for $\alpha=x$, or measuring the local magnetization for $\alpha=z$. These correlations already show a qualitative difference, most notable for early times, between the two transport regimes. First, since for $\Delta=0$ and weak driving the NESS is very close to an identity~\cite{Znidaric:2010b,Znidaric:2011a} (with terms of $\mathcal{O}(f)$ accounting for the spin current and magnetization and higher-order corrections for correlations), the results are very well approximated by known analytical results for an infinite-temperature state. These correspond to an exponential decay~\cite{capel:1977} for $\alpha=x$, $\mathcal{C}_x\pap{t}\approx{\rm e}^{-4\tau^2t^2}$, and a squared Bessel function~\cite{katsura:1970} for $\alpha=z$, $\mathcal{C}_z\pap{t}\approx\mathcal{J}_0^2\pap{4\tau t}$, thus being independent of the details of the driving. The qualitative behavior continues when increasing $\Delta$ approximately till the isotropic point. For the strongly interacting regime, the correlations $\mathcal{C}_x\pap{t}$ develop early oscillations of frequency $\sim\Delta^{-1}$, while those of $\mathcal{C}_z\pap{t}$ are strongly suppressed.\\
\\
In Fig.~\ref{fig_2}(c) and~\ref{fig_2}(d) we show the corresponding Leggett-Garg functions; these are obtained exactly for $\Delta=0$, namely $\mathcal{K}^{x}\pap{t}=2{\rm e}^{-4\tau^2t^2}-{\rm e}^{-16\tau^2t^2}$ and $\mathcal{K}^{z}\pap{t}=2\mathcal{J}_0^2\pap{4\tau t}-\mathcal{J}_0^2\pap{8\tau t}$, which agree with our numerical simulations. For all $\Delta$ and early times the inequalities in both directions are violated, indicating genuine quantum behavior which cannot be accounted for by a classical description\footnote{We do not consider longer times, where revivals of the LGI violations occur, as we are mostly interested in the maximal violations $\mathcal{K}_{\text{Max}}^{\alpha}$, which take place at an early time.}. In Fig.~\ref{fig_3} we show the maximal violations $\mathcal{K}_{\text{Max}}^{\alpha}$ as a function of $\Delta$, and observe that while the function of $\alpha=z$ monotonically decreases with interactions, that of $\alpha=x$ has a non-monotonic behavior, but increases for $\Delta>1$. Moreover, at the isotropic point the direction along which the LGI violation becomes maximal changes, from $\alpha=z$ for $\Delta<1$ to $\alpha=x$ for $\Delta>1$. As a result, the direction and magnitude of the overall maximal violation can be controlled by $\Delta$, being enhanced in the strongly-interacting regime. This also shows that the LGI violation indicates the nonequilibrium critical point, a property that it also features in equilibrium~\cite{Gomez:2016prb,Gomez:2018prb}.

\subsection*{Dephasing-enhanced LGI violations}
Now we discuss LGIs of the driven system in the presence of bulk dephasing. As previously mentioned, for strong interactions $\Delta>1$ and large driving $f=1$ dephasing melts the ferromagnetic domains that suppress transport, inducing a transition to a conducting state. Thus the spin current is enhanced with $\gamma$ by several orders of magnitude, as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig_4}(a). This constitutes a many-body scheme of environment-assisted transport~\cite{Mendoza:2013a}. Here we calculate the maximum violation of the LGI for $\alpha=z$ as a function of $\gamma$, also shown in Fig.~\ref{fig_4}(a). Small systems are considered to be able to calculate the NESS in the absence of (or for very weak) dephasing, which takes an exponentially-long time due to the presence of the ferromagnetic domains~\cite{Benenti:2009,Mendoza:2013a}.\\
\\
For $\gamma=0$ LGIs are markedly violated, since operator $\hat{Q}$ is applied between the ferromagnetic domains and induces appreciable dynamics. But remarkably, as the system becomes conducting due to weak dephasing, it also presents enhanced quantumness measure manifested in the increase of the violations. Even for stronger dephasing $\gamma\approx1$, where $\mathcal{K}^z_{\text{Max}}$ decreases with $\gamma$, the violation is still larger than that of $\gamma=0$. Thus there is a wide range of environmental couplings where in addition to a large transport enhancement, quantum features are strengthened. This is in stark contrast to the weakly-interacting case, depicted in Fig. S1 of the SI, where both the spin transport and the violation of LGIs are monotonically degraded with dephasing. This indicates that the origin of the observed effect is truly a consequence of strong interactions between particles, a scenario where LGIs remain largely unexplored.
\begin{figure}[t]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.7]{Figure_4.pdf}
\caption{(a) Maximum violation of LGI for the XXZ chain along $z$ direction (blue solid line, squares) and shifted spin current (red dashed line, triangles) as a function of dephasing $\gamma$ for $L=16$, anisotropy $\Delta=2$ and driving $f=1$. Inset: Maximal violation (blue solid line) and current (red dashed line) for the minimal model with $f=1$, $K=10$, $\delta=1$ and $\Gamma=1$. (b) Dephasing-enhanced LGI violation at intermediate driving. We depict the maximal LGI violation for $\alpha = z$ as a function of dephasing rate $\gamma$, for $\Delta=2$, $f=0.5$ and different system sizes $L$.}\label{fig_4}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

We also observe enhanced violation of LGIs with dephasing even for much weaker driving $f$, where for $\gamma=0$ the system is conducting and the differential conductivity is positive (as NDC emerges at larger driving)~\cite{Benenti:2009,Mendoza:2013a}. In Fig.~\ref{fig_4}(b) we present the maximal violation as a function of $\gamma$ for $\Delta=2$ and an intermediate driving $f=0.5$, in which the system is conducting and far away from the insulating limit. We first note that in the absence of dephasing, the violation for $f=0.5$ is larger than that at $f=1$ (see Fig.~\ref{fig_4}(a)), which shows that just making the system conducting by inducing a magnetization backflow increases the quantumness measure in the lattice. Furthermore, when dephasing is included, it increases the violation compared to the $\gamma=0$ case; this indicates that the effect is not just a peculiarity of the maximally-driven limit, but emerges in a broader transport regime. The key ingredient is again the existence of strong interactions $\Delta$. This strongly contrasts with the natural expectation that in conducting regimes, environmental coupling degrades LGI violations~\cite{lambert2010prl,robens2015prx}.\\
\\
It is important to stress two additional properties evidenced in Fig.~\ref{fig_4}(b). First, the maximal violation barely changes with the system size, indicating that this is not a small-lattice effect. We have performed simulations around the optimal dephasing rate for systems of up to $L=150$, and observed that $\mathcal{K}_{\text{Max}}^z$ slightly increases with $L$, from $\mathcal{K}_{\text{Max}}^z=1.116$ for $L=30$ to $\mathcal{K}_{\text{Max}}^z=1.120$ (not shown). Thus for large systems the positive impact of dephasing is still present and of almost the same amplitude of that at much smaller lattices. Second, the optimal dephasing slightly shifts to higher values with $L$, but for the largest chains considered, it remains $\approx0.10$. This leads to a wide range of dephasing rates for which the LGI violation is larger than that of the $\gamma=0$ limit.\\
\\
Finally, we note that the LGI violation enhancement by dephasing is also observed when non-local observables $\hat{Q}$ are considered. In particular, we calculated the two-time correlations for strings of operators $\hat{Q}=\hat{\sigma}_{{\it  l}}^{z}\hat{\sigma}_{{\it  l}+1}^{z}\hat{\sigma}_{{\it  l}+2}^{z}\cdots\hat{\sigma}_{n}^{z}$ of different length, located around the center of the XXZ lattice. The results, shown of Fig. S3 of the SI, are very similar to those of Fig.~\ref{fig_4}, both at and away from strong driving, where the maximal LGI violation takes place at a finite dephasing rate. This makes our conclusions more robust, and suggests that this phenomenon could be observed in experiments where measurements are performed on a non-local basis.

\subsection*{Minimal model}
\begin{figure}[h!]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.8]{Figure_5.pdf}
\caption{Minimal model. (a) Schematic illustration. A single-particle system is incoherently coupled to an auxiliary state $|s\rangle$, which induces a current with driving $f$. (b) Eigenstructure. The depicted energies $\varepsilon_{\nu}$ correspond to $K=20$ and $\delta=2$. The gap between the most energetic eigenstate $|\Psi\rangle$ (red dot), preferentially populated at maximal driving and zero dephasing (see Eq. (S1) of the SI), and the conducting band, is of $\mathcal{O}(\delta)$.}\label{fig_3_sm}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
To obtain more insight into the incoherent enhancement of LGI violations, we analyze a simple model which incorporates the essential ingredients of the strongly-interacting lattice~\cite{Mendoza:2013a}. This model, depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig_3_sm}, mimics its gapped eigenstructure, consisting of flat (insulating) and wide (conducting) bands, and the population transfer between them due to coherent processes, incoherent driving and dephasing. It consists of $K$ levels $|1\rangle,\ldots,|K\rangle$, with Hamiltonian
\begin{equation}
\hat{\mathcal{H}}_{\text{Min}}=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{k=1}^{K-1}\left(|k\rangle\langle k+1|+\text{H.c.}\right)+\delta|K\rangle\langle K|,
\end{equation}
where state $|K\rangle$ is elevated in energy with respect to the others by an amount $\delta>0$; thus the bands are separated by a gap of $\mathcal{O}(\delta)$, similarly to the strongly-interacting XXZ model (gaps of $\mathcal{O}(\Delta)$). The driving is modeled by the incoherent coupling of states $|1\rangle$ and $|K\rangle$ to an auxiliary site $|s\rangle$, with jump operators $\hat{V}_{\ell,r}^{-}=\sqrt{\Gamma(1\mp f)}\hat{\Lambda}_{\ell,r}^{-}$ and $\hat{V}_{\ell,r}^{+}=\sqrt{\Gamma(1\pm f)}\hat{\Lambda}_{\ell,r}^+$, where $\hat{\Lambda}_{\ell}^{-}=|s\rangle\langle1|$, $\hat{\Lambda}_{r}^{+}=|K\rangle\langle s|$, $\hat{\Lambda}_{\ell}^{+}=(\hat{\Lambda}_{\ell}^{-})^{\dagger}$ and $\hat{\Lambda}_{r}^{-}=(\hat{\Lambda}_{r}^{+})^{\dagger}$. In addition, the dephasing at rate $\gamma$ corresponds to the jump operator $\hat{\Lambda}_{z}=\sqrt{\gamma}(\hat{I}-2|K\rangle\langle K|)$, with identity $\hat{I}$, which is equivalent to $\hat{\sigma}^z$ in the XXZ model and acts only on the state of highest energy. This is similar to the effect of dephasing on the original many-body system, which induces transitions from high-energy flat bands of the eigenstructure to low-energy wide bands of higher conduction~\cite{Mendoza:2013a}. Finally, the associated local current operator is $\hat{{\rm J}}_{\text{Min},k}=-i\left(|k\rangle\langle k+1|-\text{H.c.}\right)$.\\
\\
This model leads to the emergence of NCD, an insulating state at $f=1$ and dephasing-enhanced transport. These effects are shown in Fig. \ref{fig_4_sm}(a) for $K=10$, $\Gamma=1$ and $\delta=1$. Note that $\delta=1$ does not correspond to the isotropic point of the XXZ model. The model does not capture the transport phase transition, as it is defined to mimic the strongly-interacting regime of the spin chain. Here $\delta$ sets the size of the gap between bands~\cite{Mendoza:2013a}. We clearly see that when $\gamma=0$ the system is insulating at maximal driving $f=1$, where the equivalent of the ferromagnetic domains is a preferred population of state $|K\rangle$ (see Eq. (S1) of the SI). The NDC is washed out by dephasing, which results in a large transport enhancement with $\gamma$. For large dephasing the transport is degraded, as a result of the Zeno effect which tends to freeze the dynamics. Thus the main transport properties of the strongly-interacting XXZ system are captured by the minimal model.
\begin{figure}[t]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.65]{Figure_6.pdf}
\caption{Physical properties of the minimal model. (a) Current ${\rm J}_{\text{Min}}=\langle\hat{{\rm J}}_{\text{Min},k}\rangle$ as a function of driving $f$ and dephasing $\gamma$. (b) Corresponding maximal value of the Leggett-Garg function, i.e. maximal violation of LGI.}\label{fig_4_sm}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
To study LGIs, we calculate the time correlations for the operator $\hat{Q}=\hat{\mathcal{I}}-2|P\rangle\langle P|$, where site $P$ is taken on the central site of the system. Exact numerical results of the Leggett-Garg function $\mathcal{K}(t)$ are depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig_4_sm}(b), showing that, similarly to the original model, two mechanisms enhance the violations of LGIs with respect to the dephasing-free $f=1$ limit (where there is no visible violation), namely introducing a backflow ($f<1$) or dephasing ($\gamma>0$). Very large dephasing degrades this scenario, as expected. Thus in spite of its simplicity, the model features the essential ingredients underlying such phenomena.\\
\\
Analytical results up to $\mathcal{O}(\delta^{-2})$ for the strongly-driven limit, where the effects of decoherence are the largest, help determine how LGI violations are increased; see details in the SI. For the dephasing-free system with $f=1$, $\mathcal{C}^{(0)}(t) \approx \mathcal{K}^{(0)}(t) \approx1$, so the LGI is not significantly violated, as expected. Defining $\beta=2(1-f)(1+\Gamma^2)$ when slightly moving from maximal driving with $\gamma=0$, or $\beta=16\gamma(1+\Gamma^2)/\Gamma$ when introducing weak dephasing at $f=1$, or their sum if both are present, we get the general behavior
\begin{equation} \label{lgi_f}
\mathcal{K}(t)=1+\beta\left(\frac{t}{2\delta}\right)^2.
\end{equation}
This shows that both mechanisms induce an appreciable violation of the LGI which grows quadratically at early times, and which increases linearly as $(1-f)$ and/or $\gamma$. It also manifests that the source of these results, also present in the strongly-interacting XXZ model, is the gapped eigenstructure of the model.

\section*{Discussion}
We have discussed schemes for increasing violations of Leggett-Garg inequalities in open many-body systems, illustrated in archetypical nonequilibrium boundary-driven configurations. Using matrix product state simulations, we have determined that in the strongly-interacting regime, interactions and (unexpectedly) bulk dephasing can enhance the violations. The main mechanism behind the latter effect is illustrated by the same observation in a minimal model, which mimics the gapped eigenstructure of the original system. Given the simplicity of the studied models, our results pave the way for novel experimental protocols of detecting macroscopic quantum coherence in a large variety of scenarios, including single-particle and many-body inhomogeneous (e.g. disordered~\cite{Znidaric:2016,Marko:2017ann}) current-carrying systems.

Hypnosis is a state of enhanced, focused attention. It is a state we all naturally and spontaneously enter several times a day. Have you ever driven your car along the highway and missed your exit because you were focused on something else, or watched a movie and not heard certain noises in the room or your name being called because you were so focused on the movie? These are natural states of hypnosis. When you daydream, you are in a state of self hypnosis. The mind is focusing intently on something specific. All hypnosis is self hypnosis.
In hypnotherapy, we offer specific techniques and tools for individuals to discover clarity in their lives and reach specific goals promoting behavior change while in a state of relaxation. The process of hypnosis is really a process of guided relaxation, of just relaxing and letting go of stress, tension or worries. Once you feel relaxed, I guide you with specific tools to help achieve your desired goal through the use of guided imagery and other techniques. You will be conscious, aware and in control throughout the process.
Hypnotherapists are not licensed, but they should be certified. It is important to do some research in finding the person that most resonates with you. When searching amongst practitioners, look at their overall background and how many training hours they received specifically in hypnosis as there is wide variety within the field, some hypnotherapists only receiving a weekend long training. Research where the individual completed his/her training and if it is a style that most resonates with you. I practice transpersonal, client-centered hypnotherapy through Bryn Blankinship's training program, which is certified through IACT.
It is recommended you also find someone who is fully certified in basic and advanced hypnotherapy techniques and is a member in good standing with a reputable professional organization such as the International Association of Counselors and Therapists. This will at least ensure the individual is meeting minimum qualifications of adhering to ethical guidelines and continuing their education.
Yes. I am fully certified in basic and advanced hypnotherapy as well as spiritual regression (past life regression and Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy through the Newton Institute) and maintain membership, in excellent standing, through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists. I am also a certified instructor of hypnosis and teach hypnosis training programs.
Can I be made to do or say something I don't want to do or say while in a state of hypnosis?
No. Nobody can make you do or say anything you are uncomfortable with or anything which goes against your morals and values. You are fully aware, conscious and in control throughout the entire session and can come out of a hypnotic state anytime you wish and even on your own if desired. You will not share any secrets you do not wish to share. If you have seen hypnotists snap fingers or use other techniques to get individuals to behave in seemingly embarrassing ways, please know this is not real in the sense you may think it is. Some people are more suggestive than others, which means they are more willing to play along. What you see on stage or television is done by skilled stage hypnotists and is only for the purpose of entertainment.
The process of hypnotherapy does require a bond and trust between hypnotherapist and client so that the client may fully relax and gain the full benefit and experience of a session, but you are in full control of your actions and words the entire time.
Is hypnosis a form of psychotherapy?
No. Hypnosis is different from psychotherapy, though some psychotherapists may use hypnosis as a tool. Hypnotherapists do not diagnose or utilize psychotherapy tools in a conscious state to promote change, and only work with functional individuals who desire change and/or clarity in life. In hypnosis, conversation is taken place while the client is in a relaxed state, allowing the subconscious mind to come into an individual's awareness. Hypnosis is typically used as an effective and short-term tool to promote behavior change and spiritual exploration, specifically while an individual is in a more relaxed state. If psychotherapy is needed before pursuing hypnotherapy, or in combination with psychotherapy, I do network with several psychotherapists and will make recommendations for that. I reserve the right to refuse to guide hypnosis sessions if I suspect an individual is not mentally stable or at a place in their life where they are able to respond positively to the process of hypnosis. If you experience borderline personality disorder or another clinical diagnosis, I may request a referral note from a psychiatrist or psychotherapist. With your permission, I do often collaborate with other psychotherapists to create the best program for you.
How do I find the best hypnotherapy near me?
I recommend calling a few hypnotherapists near you and asking some questions so you can choose the person who most resonates with you. It is very important that you feel comfortable in this process and have good rapport with your hypnotist.
Do you file health insurance?
I do not file health insurance. However, some individuals may be able to be reimbursed from their health insurance company, HSA or FSA plans, with a therapist or medical doctor's note for the purposes of weight loss, smoking cessation, pain management and/or stress management and anxiety. It is your responsibility as the client to contact all parties, get the proper documentation that is required for reimbursement and to check specifically with the company you wish to be reimbursed by to see if you qualify, and if they will accept hypnotherapy/hypnosis from The Mindful Way as a provider. I am not accountable for individuals not receiving reimbursement under any health policy.
All payments are made in full at the time of a session. Smoking cessation and weight loss are paid for in full as packages up front. Once the first session has been completed, refunds are not issued.
I'm not sure I can be hypnotized. Can I?
Everyone is able to go into a state of self hypnosis. We all do it spontaneously and naturally every day. Hypnotherapy does require a trusting bond between hypnotherapist and client, although it is you, the client, who really allows yourself to go into a state of hypnosis with our guidance. I value every individual I work with and hold great respect for your process. There is a very small percentage of the population that has difficulty being guided into this state by another person, but this is rarely the case and if that occurs, some practice and mindfulness instruction can often assist an individual with such difficulties. I will work with you to determine what is the most effective way to enable you to relax. I also offer EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping as another tool to help individuals who may experience nervousness before beginning a session if that feels like it would be supportive. It is natural to feel nervous and unsure if you can go into hypnosis. I assure you that all sessions are individualized and we will work together to find the tools that are most beneficial to you.
Yes. All sessions are 100% confidential, with the exception of coming to know an individual's safety is at risk. If I discover you intend to harm yourself or another being, or that you are being harmed by someone else, I am required to report this to the appropriate authorities in order to keep everyone safe. Inappropriate behavior toward me is not tolerated and will be reported if necessary. However, this has never been the case, and I don't ever expect it to be so.
Why are there no refunds for a purchased package once a session has begun?
For packages such as weight release and smoking cessation, it is essential that you are committed to the process. Countless individuals have experienced success, but it does take a commitment for you to be there as an active participant and engage in the process between sessions. Paying for a package before services are rendered helps assist you in being an active participant and fully present in this process. I will support you on this journey in whatever way I can.
Please contact me via phone or email as soon you as you know you will not be able to make it. You will be charged for a full session without 24 hour advance notification. This policy is in place because I often book well in advance and want to ensure that I am able to give my clients the best availability with appointments as requested.
What happens if I get a block and am not able to experience a past life regression session?
This rarely happens, although it has happened. If you experience a block, I will offer you a general clearing/stress management session during your scheduled appointment in place of the past life regression session. However, refunds are not issued once a session has begun.
While I have offered yoga therapy and mindfulness practices for children for the purposes of stress management, or for children with special needs, I usually do not offer individual hypnosis sessions for children or teens. However, if you have something specific you would like to explore or have questions about, please contact me as every circumstance is unique. I may also be able to make a referral for you.
How many sessions are required for hypnosis to work?
Hypnotherapy is very effective as a short-term tool to support behavior change. Most clients experience change and/or relief within just 1-4 sessions, but ultimately, it depends upon the individual and the reason for hypnosis. Past life regression sessions are just one session unless an individual chooses to experience more than that. Other types of sessions may be 2-4 sessions, and sometimes more. Clients who choose to see me more often or long-term are usually individuals interested in seeking ongoing guidance with relaxation and stress management. Though this support can be gained from just a few sessions, some individuals enjoy the personal support of ongoing guided relaxation.
Do you use hypnosis for individuals who experience alcohol and/or drug addiction?
No. It is important for individuals to receive the appropriate care needed to be in a healthy mind state and free from dependency on substances. That said, if an individual has received such care and is sober, I am happy to work with him/her in other ways to meet that person's goals. I have experience offering mindfulness practices with those who experience substance abuse. However, this kind of session is different than a hypnosis session and still requires a person be sober for an extended amount of time with psychotherapy experience.
I will not work with an individual who is under the influence of mind altering drugs or alcohol. If I suspect this is the case, I have the right to refuse the hypnosis session and a refund will not be issued.
Can a friend or family member sit in with me during my session?
A family member may be present during the intake portion of the session but not during the actual guided imagery experience. It is important this experience be yours for the purposes of confidentiality. What you choose to share after your experience is up to you. At times, I may offer group hypnosis experiences and during these times, you can choose to invite friends and/or family members to participate with you but only when specifically offered as a group experience.
With the exception of past life and Live Between Lives regression sessions, no other sessions are recorded. This is to ensure that undesirable emotional connections that are released remain released. When you listen to something over again, it is important you do not re-experience what was released so you can move forward in a manner that best meets your needs. I do record past life regression and Live Between Lives sessions, if desired by you, and will send you a recording upon completion of your session.
We leave that up to you to decide, but yes, memory recall is very possible and happens quite often. I have assisted individuals with memory recall, but will not do so specifically for the purposes of finding out if one was abused or experienced something traumatic. If this is discovered in session, I will refer you to the appropriate individual for more long-term mental/emotional and or/medical treatment. However, in my current experience, this has not yet happened. It is normal to question if memories experienced are real. We hold all of our experiences within our subconscious. One exercise I ask clients to try is making up a story. Notice where that is experienced and how that is felt within the brain. Individuals often have strong emotional connections while in hypnosis. These same emotional connections are usually absent during a made up story, and experienced in a different part of the brain.
I accept personal checks, cash and credit cards. I am also able to process payment through the use of your Health Savings Account card, if the session is for stress management/anxiety, weight loss (dr. recommended only) or smoking cessation. Sometimes you HSA company may ask for further documentation from a physician recommending hypnotherapy. Please be sure you can receive this if you plan to use your HSA or FSA account. I do not process payment through FSA cards but can provide you with a receipt with procedure codes for reimbursement. However, it is typically required that you also have a doctor's note recommending this type of service for a specific condition such as anxiety, obesity, or to quit smoking for health reasons, pain management, etc… There will be a $35 fee for all returned checks.
Yes! Please let me know if you would like to learn self hypnosis and we can take a session to teach you how to do that at home.
How Do I Become a Hypnotherapist? Do you offer Hypnotherapy Training?
Yes, I do offer hypnosis training and am a certified instructor. More information on how to become a hypnotherapist can be found here.

My father's W500 laptop won't turn on, even when plugged into power. He thinks it's a battery issue and is planning to buy a replacement battery, but I've never heard of a laptop that won't turn on with a dead battery if the AC adapter is plugged in. Is this actually something that can happen with a W500?
Have you taken the battery out then plugged it in, and have you taken out the CMOS battery for a bit to reset the BIOS?
A couple of thoughts (although they may be obvious).
1. Are you certain the power brick, removable AC and attached DC cable are all OK and producing the correct voltage? Sometimes old cables break-down internally and either don't pass current, don't pass enough juice or develop internal short-circuits and need to be repaired or replaced. Does the power light come-on at all or is dim? Is this a new problem or has the machine not been used in a while?
2. When you remove the battery from the machine, does it still not boot? If so, then the battery might have an internal short or faulty electronics board -- in which case, a new battery is likely the remedy.
You might also try removing both batteries, as the previous poster suggested.
Thank you both for responding. I live in a different city than my dad, and it's tough to get him to follow directions when it comes to this kind of thing, so I can't do much in the way of diagnostics. I asked him to try removing the main battery and powering up, but I haven't heard back yet. I'll try to get him on the phone tonight to see if the power light is turning on.
This issue recently happened to me with my Lenovo W500. I bought a replacement battery, a new charger, and a new CMOS battery and I still haven't been able to power up the laptop. No light indicators appear. Also tried combinations of holding down the power button down for 30 seconds without the battery(s), with the battery(s), and still no luck. Does anyone know how to resolve the issue?

SYSTEMS CONSULTATION
Lack of Objective Evidence of Progress Sinks Parent's Tuition Reimbursement Request
Feb 20, 2020 | by Special Education Solutions | 0 comments
In R.H. v. Board of Education Saugerties Central School District, 776 F. App'x 719, 74 IDELR 221 (2d Cir. July 2, 2019), the Second Circuit Court of Appeals continued its pattern of denying tuition reimbursement for unilateral parental placements when there is not a sufficient showing from the parents that the unilateral placement was appropriate. Although the decision is not precedential, litigants may cite it pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 32.1 and the Second Circuit's Rule 32.1.1. More importantly, it provides a basis for prediction of what the court is likely to do in similar cases.
According to the district court, No.1:16-CV-551, 2018 WL 2304740, 72 IDELR 58 (N.D.N.Y. May 21, 2018), which the court affirmed, the case concerned a teenager diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and anxiety. The parent grew dissatisfied with the student's placement in the school district, where the student had been bullied and subjected to treatment that led to intense anxiety and a drastic decline in attendance. The parent placed the student at the Ridge School, which had been denied approval from the Commissioner of Education for special education placement. The school was for students with high functioning autism who did not learn satisfactorily in a traditional school environment. There were four students – two in ninth grade, and one in sixth grade – but the student was the only seventh grader. Instruction was in a group for all subjects, with no homework and the option to skip participation if a student declined to read a given subject. Materials were outdated, and students did not need to make up work they skipped. The school had two full-time teachers, and five part-time teachers. The student did not have a written education plan, behavior plan, or academic goals, nor a remedial program to address areas of deficiency. The student's teacher, his developmental-behavioral pediatrician, and his parent all stated that the student made progress, based on their observations.
The Impartial Hearing Officer and the State Review Officer agreed that the school district failed to provide a free, appropriate public education in the school year when the parents removed the student. The IHO ruled that the student made educational progress at Ridge and the equities supported reimbursement, but the SRO vacated that part of the decision, reasoning that there was insufficient evidence that Ridge provided the student instruction specially designed to address his social and emotional needs, rather than merely providing the student advantages that might be preferred by the parents of any child. The district court agreed with the SRO and denied reimbursement, declaring that "there was scant evidence in the record that constituted 'objective evidence' of progress, which is preferable in this Circuit." Id. at *7. The court cited an absence of report cards, progress notes, work samples, or standardized assessments. And although the student's attendance improved, there was also evidence of regression, including an altercation and refusal to complete assignments.
The court of appeals issued a short opinion affirming the district court decision. The court said that increased attendance in and of itself did not show that the private program was specifically designed to meet the student's individual needs. Moreover, said the court, "Although there was testimony that C.H. made some progress socially and emotionally, the record contained no evidence of test scores, grades, written behavioral plans, or other progress reports to support R.H.'s claim that C.H. made progress at Ridge." 776 F. App'x at 721. The court also said that the SRO did not improperly fail to defer to the IHO's credibility determinations. The problem was not credibility, according the court, so much as the courts' need to defer to the SRO's expertise in determining how much evidence is needed to reach an adequately supported decision.
A takeaway from the court of appeals decision is that objective evidence of educational progress is likely to be highly important in a tuition reimbursement case. Conclusory general opinions from private school staff and/or parents, even if credible, will probably not suffice. It might be noted that a hearing officer has the authority to ask questions to clarify or complete the record. This would be a good example of a situation where just asking a witness why s/he thought the student was making progress would be very helpful and appropriate. This approach could provide objective evidence of progress in the private placement or the lack of it and, therefore, provide a more solid factual and legal basis for a conclusion of law on whether the unilateral placement was appropriate.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski Provides Update On Lonzo Ball's Injury
LOS ANGELES, CA - JANUARY 05: Lonzo Ball #2 of the Los Angeles Lakers looks on during the first half of a game against the Charlotte Hornets at Staples Center on January 5, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images)
It hasn't been the best of offseasons for Lonzo Ball. The Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard is currently rehabbing from a knee injury. He's also hearing his name mentioned in trade rumors after the signing of Rajon Rondo.
ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski has provided an update on the status of Ball's injury, which is a meniscus injury in his knee.
Wojnarowski said on his podcast today that the injury would require surgery, later clarifying on Twitter that he meant it might require surgery.
"Listening back to pod discussion on Lonzo Ball's knee injury, I misspoke: What I planned to say was that he may require surgery, not that he requires it," he wrote.
Wojnarowski provided more details on Ball's situation earlier in the week.
There is reportedly a belief around the Lakers that Ball's knee injury news was leaked to prevent him from being traded.
"This is a message to Lonzo Ball," Wojnarowski said on ESPN. "His injury — that knee injury — I think there's a belief around the Lakers that it was within his world that that got leaked out there to keep him from getting traded. He doesn't want to be traded from L.A. It wasn't the Lakers that wanted information out on that knee injury. There were a lot of teams that were checking on possible deals with the Lakers and there were questions about that knee. They want winning, veteran players there. You have LeBron James now, and he's 33 years old. They want win-now guys. And Rondo is going to challenge Lonzo Ball."
The Lakers have had quite the offseason so far. It's only going to get more interesting as we move forward.

Here's How Boston Children's Is Using Alexa's HIPAA-Compliant Tools
Amazon invited six healthcare partners to test out Alexa's new technology that allows patient data to be securely transmitted.
Some experts have voiced concerns regarding the voice assistant technology's ability to remain completely HIPAA-compliant.
April 17, 2019 Amy Rock	Jump to Comments
Amazon's Alexa voice assistant technology can now transmit and receive protected health information, and Boston Children's Hospital is one of six healthcare entities that is experimenting with the new capability.
Healthcare facilities now have the ability to build Alexa voice tools capable of securely transmitting private patient information, reports Stat News. The announcement was accompanied by the unveiling of six voice programs developed by large healthcare entities, including Boston Children's.
The voice apps are built with Alexa Skill Sets, which now provides a HIPAA-eligible environment to select partners participating in an invite-only program.

In an interview with Information Security Media Group, John Brownstein, Boston Children's Hospital's chief innovation officer, said the hospital uses the application to help parents and caregivers of children who have undergone heart surgery.
The voice program, dubbed "ERAS," allows authorized users to provide updates about a child's recovery, such as pain levels, once they have been released from the hospital. It allows healthcare providers to stay on top of any deviation in the recovery process and intervene if needed.
"We're in a renaissance of voice technology and voice assistants in health care," said Brownstein. "It's so appealing as there's very little training, it's low cost and convenient."
He also assured that the application is HIPAA-compliant and that the hospital signed a business associate agreement with Amazon.
"We use a voice PIN and certain protections to make sure that we're working with the right patient or parent or guardian."
While many are excited at the new possibilities, some experts caution there is room for error, reports Knowledge.
"I think they are testing the water here, but the potential is so huge that my guess is they're willing to take some risks," said Arnold Rosoff, a professor of legal studies and healthcare management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
The healthcare sector is a $3.5 trillion industry.
Here are the other healthcare entities that are also piloting Alexa's new skill set:
Cigna, a health insurance provider, created a voice program to allow employees to manage their health improvement goals and earn wellness incentives
Express Scripts, a pharmacy services organization, created a tool that allows users to check the delivery status of prescriptions and set up shipment notifications
Providence St. Joseph Health, a network of 51 hospitals in seven states, and Atrium Health, a network of over 40 hospitals and 900 clinics, created tools that enable customers to search for a nearby urgent care center and schedule a same-day appointment
Livongo, a digital health company that helps patients manage chronic conditions, uses Alexa to allow patients to request their last blood sugar reading and blood sugar measurement trends

German club Werder Bremen have stunningly admitted that they used a drone to spy on Bundesliga rivals Hoffenheim.
Werder Bremen have stunningly admitted that they used a drone to spy on Bundesliga rivals Hoffenheim's training sessions ahead of their 1-1 draw last Wednesday.
Hoffenheim head of media Holger Kliem had alerted the media to a security breach and advised that they had also reported the matter to the police.
After a week of speculation Werder Bremen admitted their analysis team had been behind the drone flight and apologized to Hoffenheim for the intrusion.
A statement on Werder's website issued by general manager Frank Baumann read: "Werder Bremen briefly brought a drone into action last Tuesday during TSG Hoffenheim's training.
"This is the result of a conversation between Werder CEO Baumann, head coach [Florian] Kohfeldt and employees of the analysis department.
It is unclear at this stage if the Bundesliga or German police will take any further action against Werder or the individuals involved in the drone incident.
Drone technology has become increasingly accessible to private users posing serious concerns over privacy and security. It may not be long before legislators are forced to address the use of drones.
Werder were unable to take all three points from their home clash against Hoffenheim despite making use of the drone, so perhaps football won't see too many more of these types of incident.

DAI/AIA Fellowship for Study in the U.S.
The Archaeological Institute of America is pleased to announce the availability of a Fellowship for archaeologists employed by the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut (DAI), or project collaborators who have temporary contracts with the DAI. The purpose of the Fellowship is to encourage and support scholarship of the highest quality on various aspects of archaeology, and to promote contact between North American archaeologists and DAI scholars.
The AIA offers post-doctoral research fellowships for use during the academic year (one for the fall of 2015 and one for the spring of 2016) at either The Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), The Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, or the University of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Applicants who are archaeologists must have a Ph.D. degree; architects must have their diploma. Both must demonstrate professional competence in archaeology in their applications. Project collaborators must show proof of a long-time participation with a current DAI project by providing a letter of recommendation from a DAI project supervisor.
Fellows will be selected on the basis of scholarly promise as indicated by the applicant's academic record, prior publications, and the merits of the proposed research project. Preference will be given to applicants who are at an early stage of their professional careers. Candidates may indicate a preference for either Brown, UCLA, or Cincinnati, but the final decision will be made by the selection committee.
The Fellowship includes travel expenses for the Fellow, residence at university housing (at Brown University and at the University of Cincinnati) or funds towards rental housing (at UCLA), library privileges, and an additional stipend towards living expenses. Residency will be for a maximum of three months, and no less than two months. While in residence, the Fellow will be expected to give at least one lecture for the host institution.


Most products can be improved. No matter whether you want to reduce the manufacturing costs, optimize the properties or reduce the number of variants: We will deliver you an objective assessment of the current state, a systematic approach in the development of optimization measures and an overview of technical alternatives, in order to achieve noticeable improvements.
Our pragmatic and easy to follow methods will give you usable results in an amazingly short time!
measures and an overview of technical alternatives, in order to achieve noticeable improvements.
Product Benchmarking: The objective comparison of your product's characteristics with those of competing products will reveal its technical market position. As well as finding the weaknesses in the competitors' designs, we will give you ideas on how you can make your product the best in its class.
Application process analysis: Our application process analysis –supported by eye tracking technology – highlights the weaknesses of the product and the work process. With creativity and an eye for technology from other industries, we use this to develop ideas which make your customers' work easier, which improve occupational safety or which increase the efficiency of the work.
Reducing manufacturing costs: Function integration, same parts, alternative functional principles, new technologies or alternative manufacturing processes make up only a small part of the options we consider to reduce the manufacturing costs of your product. Our unique action-catalog helps us to take all the principal directions into account.
Failure and weak point analysis: Do users of your products complain about functional weaknesses, but the reasons for these remain hidden to you? We will support you in finding the causes of failure. Here we draw assistance from a special problem-solving method. Suitable optimization activities are of course included in the service we provide.
tech-solute® product optimization means saying goodbye to the usual solutions.
We use a special checklist to evaluate technical systems. It ensures that we consider diverse aspects in detail, such as, for example, functional principle, manufacturing costs, shape, material, surfaces, loading capacity, kinematics, etc. Our neutral point of view and the capacity to make an objective assessment gives us advantages over our customers.
We combat known product weaknesses with suggestions for optimization. Here, we think in particular about alternative functional principles, as these offer wider potential compared to detailed optimizations. This is where we profit from our cross-industry activities.
Since cost reduction takes on a dominant role in optimizations, we have developed an action-catalog containing a list of all the theoretically possible actions for product cost reduction. Things get interesting when we go through this catalog step-by-step with your specialists; considering in what form the relevant action could be´implemented for your product.
In comparison to other tools, this approach is pragmatic and, at the same time, very effective. You can be assured that those involved in the development of the product discuss all principal possibilities for cost reduction in detail.
Finally, our ingenuity, which we put to the test every day during innovation development, helps us not just to recognize actions but to develop specific solutions.
In turn, a simple trick helps us in modular development: By putting your existing product out of your mind and initially only concentrating on the requirements and wishes of your markets, it is possible to define the specification for an initial system which will satisfy most of your customers. In the subsequent creative process, your staff evaluate how existing components can be used to realize the initial system. The following ideas generation also focuses on upgrading and downgrading activities which are needed to realize all economically viable variants.
As part of this analysis, tech-solute® investigated how much damage could be caused by using outdated operating instructions for a CT scanner cooling system. Furthermore, an analysis was carried out to discover what would happen if the operating instructions were disregarded in general. The goal was to develop a basis for making a case against potential warranty claims in the case of damage due to misuse.
A combined seatbelt retractor-pretensioning system consists of around 120 components and is produced by the million. At this customer's request, tech-solute® identified potential for cost reduction in the system and presented these as concept suggestions. Here, as well as alternative materials, particular attention was paid to alternative manufacturing processes and the design. With more than 40 developed and comparatively simple to implement suggestions for improvement, significant savings could be achieved.
The goal of this modular development was the cost-effective formation of product variants. Within five workshops it was possible to define the market requirements for an initial system. Thanks to a small number of upgrading and downgrading activities on individual product components, it was possible to form all the required product variants. In ideas workshops, technical solutions were developed together with the customer's team, taking both new and existing ideas into account. Aided by various technology investigations and analyses, tech-solute® contributed knowledge about the current state-of-the-art.
As a neutral partner, tech-solute® evaluated the robustness of selected components of a domestic dishwasher compared with competitors' products, and identified the design principles behind them. For the subjective evaluation, potential dishwasher users from a non-technical background were involved in the project. Based on this analysis, tech-solute® developed ideas for optimizing the design of the object analyzed.

Andover station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Andover, Massachusetts. It serves the Haverhill Line. The station has one platform with a mini-high platform for handicapped accessibility serving one track, while the second track lacks a platform. The previous station building, used from 1907 to 1959, is still extant; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as Third Railroad Station.

History

The Andover and Wilmington Railroad opened between its namesake cities in August 1836 as a branch line off the new Boston and Lowell Railroad (B&L). A small wooden Greek revival station was built near the center of Andover. The line was soon extended north, and in 1842 in merged into the Boston and Maine Railroad (B&M). After building its own route to Boston in 1845, the B&M looked to expand its passenger base to compete with the B&L. In 1848, the B&M relocated its main line from Ballardvale to North Andover to the west in order to serve the new mill town of Lawrence.

The line was moved several blocks west in Andover, away from the busy intersections of the town square. A small house was converted into a temporary station, which was soon replaced by a larger L-shaped station with a large train shed. A brick freight house was built sometime between then and 1875.

In 1906, the B&M began construction of a new station, as residents complained about the smoky conditions inside the train shed. The new station, a copy of Beverly Depot designed by Bradford Lee Gilbert a decade earlier, opened on September 1, 1907. It was used as the station until 1959. It was later converted for commercial use, housing an auto parts store by 1977. In 1982, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Third Railroad Station.

In November 1974, North Andover and Andover declined to renew their subsidies. Service to North Andover station ended on November 15. Days before, Andover commuters and businesses raised funds to continue service until April 1975. On April 7, 1975, town residents voted "overwhelmingly" to reimburse the commuters and subsidize service for an additional year. The town declined to subsidize further service, and the three Andover stops (Shawsheen, Andover, and ) were dropped effective April 2, 1976. The round trip, by then stopping just at Lawrence, Bradford and Haverhill, was ended in June 1976. The MBTA bought all B&M commuter equipment and lines on December 27, 1976, including the Western Route from Wilmington Junction to the New Hampshire border.

Service to Haverhill, including the stop at Andover, resumed on December 17, 1979. A mini-high platform for accessibility was added around 1992. MBTA passengers board from a single platform behind the former freight house. Both the former station and former freight house have been repurposed for commercial use. A second track was built through the station in 2015–2017. The originally-planned second MBTA platform was not built; the second track is largely used for idling freight trains.

Great cities like Delhi are defined, at least to some degree, by some famous cuisines: either through readily available ones and ancestral tradition or through those which draw the culinary traveller from across the world. No doubt many of us must have explored every monument including the nook and corner in our own Delhi, but what do we have to offer in terms of a culinary narrative? In a city as old as us, besides the fact that several of the chaatwalas and halwais have been famous for generations but there is one such Bawarchi of which many people till date are not aware of.
So one fine evening when I was travelling in Delhi Metro, I overheard the talks of two friends. They were discussing Handi Biryani which is served in kilos at some restaurant located near to Pragati Maidan. For me it does not matter what time of the day it is, the mere mention of the word is enough to bring water in my mouth. I being a lover of rice dishes, Biryani is for me is my all-time favourite food. So very next day I planned to visit this place. I took the metro from Vaishali Metro station and de-boarded at Pragati Maidan. I took an auto from there to reach Babu Shahi Bawarchi, 5, Darga Matka Peer, Mathura Road, Pragati Maidan as I had searched the address the night before on the Google. When I reached there to my utter disappointment I found that there the Biryani is served in bulk orders (Per kg.). But then and there itself I planned to wait and get the Biryani packed to take away.
Upon reaching back home, when I opened the wrapping the first thought that popped up in my mind was that the Persian import has proved more futile than the foreign dynasties that brought the trend of marinated meat in layers of semi-boiled rice. The Biryani here is cooked in earthenware pots, the lids are sealed with dough and when the Biryani has finally opened it released the wonderful aroma that made the rats jump in the stomach out of hunger.
In the Sufi shrine of Matka Peer, located next to Pragati Maidan, the cook Babu Khan, supposed to be descended from Shahjahan's bawarchis, is known for chicken and mutton biryanis that must be ordered a day in advance.
In Delhi itself, I had been to many places from Anand Dhaba in Connaught Place which serves extremely hot and oily Biryani to the commercial chains such as Deez, from the five-star hotels like Maurya ITC which serves expensive and disappointing Biryani to Sufi shrines. However, no one could replace the taste of this best Biryani in Old Delhi. It is one of Delhi's best-kept secrets which is still not known to many.
They serve mouthwatering finger licking Biryanis wrapped in handis and the Biryani is prepared in the same manner as it was prepared during the Mughal days. Served piping hot, the place is more of a takeaway type but one can eat in by standing next to the shop. The people are required to place their order, at least, a day in advance to avoid disappointment. The Biryani is sold by weight (per Kg). They can sell it by per plate, but are popular for bulk orders so they sell out quite fast.
Do not try to eat with hand especially when it is served as the heat could burn the fingers. Don't behave like a treasure hunter who impatiently looks for the meat 'piece'. Treat your taste buds with intervening basmati which is as appetizing as an experience.
For the next time, you are planning to have some flavoursome biryani or are looking for a ton of food for a get together with friends, bookmark Babu Shahi Bawarchi.
