Four Hugs
What better time of year to focus on the goodwill that makes for human closeness and connection? Valuing individuals and interactions as we Agilists do, it's the stuff we work to create.
I spent a day at my cowork space last week. Not even a whole day, just stopped in to punctuate a stretch of meetings and deadlines. It was enough to bring home the mystery of the season and the beauty of a coworking environment.
Picture receiving four hugs in the space of an hour and a half. Real hugs, not those wimpy one-arm backpats. All were for different reasons.
The first was from a coworker who had recommended me on LinkedIn. He was energized to move that task into the "Done" column. By his action and commitment I felt cared about and respected. So, when we saw each other we hugged.
The second was in solidarity with a coworker overwhelmed by life and its multilayered demands. We speak frequently and seem to take turns, as luck would have it, with our ups and downs.
That day his body language – the set of his shoulders and the tension in his jaw – spoke volumes. We all want to give it up sometimes and go do something easier than this whole entrepreneurial shebang.
The kind of encouragement I wanted to give has no words. No pep talk can motivate like a strong, caring hug.
The third involved a colleague visiting from another community to attend a workshop. We are mostly facebook friends, so standing actual face to actual face was an unexpected pleasure. After a split-second of decision-making in that awkward moment where you're not sure if you're going to hug or shake hands, we hugged.
The fourth was a welcome home. I was standing near the reception area when a coworker I hadn't seen in a while entered. She and I have been open about personal challenges, heartaches and absurdities over lunch or coffee. A lot had transpired in the interim, and we needed to catch up. A long, friendly hug was the best place to start.
Like the holidays and the complex process of community-building, when it comes to hugs, receiving is also giving. I am happy to be part of a workspace – as well as a global movement to improve the world of work – where such chance affection is not only allowed but commonplace.

Mixing Wet Cement
What's in the mix for making things flow between people? Enthusiasm, Curiosity and Desire! Active, receptive and responsive in kind, these three interpersonal strategies reinforce one another and build lateral engagement in communities.
Enthusiasm means putting it out there. Let people see your passions and be happy to see theirs.
Curiosity is the moment when you or I decide to cross the threshold that separates us with a blank and an invitation. Only an open mind can be receptive to new ideas and grow.
Desire is the spark that encourages people to connect. It means expressing the notion that there are many good things in the space between us just waiting to be discovered.
TRY enthusiasm. "I like…."
TRY curiosity, "I wonder…"
TRY desire. "I wish…"
For best results, try all three!
I developed this three-part recipe for Wetting the Cement after some intentional experiments with the ingredients during Summer 2013. Two sets of results were validating.
1. Getting invited to become more and more involved with the Stoos movement and organizing Stoos in Action stoosinaction.dk The core Agile team of organizers was based in Denmark. Fifteen satellites across four continents responded to our invitation to participate. The "action" was a 6-hour virtual conference dedicated to improving the world of work.
2. Submitting the idea for a Guinness-approved world record attempt for Largest Chalk Pavement Art to the Awesome Foundation. Positive community response mobilized over 1,000 individuals, 18 community groups, eight city agencies and a unanimously supportive City Council. The current world record holder embraced us, not as challengers but as successors. The Agile community is now interested in the use of scrum to make public art.
In both cases, the individuals could not have predicted what finally occurred. Enthusiasm, curiosity and desire magnified in an organic way to global scale.
Find out what happens with YOUR special blend in the mix. Share enthusiasm, curiosity and desire to connect. I am always happy to hear from you!

Q: Python package naming convention I want to create some python packages and deploy them in my company, not on PyPi.
I stumbled over the problem that one package name already existed. So instead of mypackage from our repo I installed a PyPi package.
The obvious solution is to change the name of the package. However, if I don't put the package on PyPi, there are chances somebody will place another package with that name.
I currently see two options. Create a dummy package and put it on PyPi to reserve the name. Or use something like a namespace.
I read about PEP 423, which propose this idea, but it seems not to be agreed on.
Is it anyway a good idea to use this? How would I do it? company.package or company_package? Both are not confirming to PEP 8.
Or is there another way?
Edit:
Playing around with different name spaces I observed the following:

*

*Having a dot in the name is really a bad idea, as it seems not to work.

*Underscore does work with one minor annoyance. To install one must run pip install my-package and for import it's import my_package.

A: Don't squat on a name with an empty project. You have already proven your project may have names that are somewhat common "one package name already existed".
According to PEP541 (which was accepted), Your project would be invalid and considered for removal.

A project published on the Package Index meeting ANY of the following is considered invalid and will be removed from the Index:

*...

*project is name squatting (package has no functionality or is empty);

*...

Instead, use a namespace as you already mentioned.

\section{\label{thsec1}Introduction}

 The measurement of signal-to-noise ratio in mesoscopic
 transport devices is of vital importance as it enables
 access to intriguing information about the statistics of
 quasiparticles and various intrinsic dynamics that are
 not available from conventional current measurements
 alone \cite{Bla001,Naz03}.
 For transport through a localized state, the nonequilibrium
 noise is generally suppressed due to the
 Pauli exclusion principle, leading thus to a
 sub-Poissonian statistics \cite{Che914534,Oli99299,Hen99296}.
 However, in systems of multiple nonlocal states, such
 as double quantum dot devices, the
 intrinsic quantum coherence and many-particle interactions
 give rise to different sources of correlations \cite{Wie031}.
 Electron transport can exhibit a unique dynamical
 blockade mechanism, leading thus to a super-Poisson
 fluctuation \cite{Kie07206602,Lin09245303,Mic09035320
 Luo11145301,Luo1159,Lam08214302}.

 In spintronic structures, transport is governed not
 only by the charge flow, but more importantly, by the
 spin transfer \cite{Pri981660,Wol011488,Jed01345
 Jed02713,Aws02,Mor11345,Han071217,Zut04323}.
 The involving spin degrees of freedom introduce
 additional correlated mechanisms.
 Study of spin current fluctuations is crucial for
 possible applications in control and manipulation
 of individual spins.
 A number of investigations have been devoted to the
 noise characteristics of spin-dependent transport through
 various nanostructures, such as quantum
 dots \cite{Han071217,Zut04323,Thi05146806,Bra06075328},
 molecules \cite{Wey12205306,Yu05075351,Mis09224420}, and
 nanotubes \cite{Wey10165450,Wey08035422,Lip10115327,Wu07156803}.
 Different tunneling processes like sequential tunneling,
 cotunneling \cite{Wey11195302,Wey08075305}, etc. were revealed
 to have vital roles to play in spin transport.
 In order to distinguish various spin dynamics it is
 instructive to unravel the charge noise into
 spin-resolved components.
 Consider a general mesoscopic device of a quantum
 dot (QD) system connected to terminals $\alf$, $\alf'$....
 The charge current through the terminal ``$\alf$'' is
 $\la I_\alf\ra=\la I_\alf^{\sgm}\ra+\la I_\alf^{-\sgm}\ra$,
 where $\la I_\alf^{\sgm}\ra$ is the spin-$\sgm$ component
 of the current.
 The temporal correlation of spin transport is characterized
 by the spin-resolved correlation function
 $C^{\sgm\sgm'}_{\alf\alf'}(t-t')=\frac{1}{2}
 \la\{\Delta I_\alf^\sgm(t),\Delta I_{\alf'}^{\sgm'}(t')\}\ra$,
 with $\Delta I_\alf^\sgm(t)=I_\alf^\sgm(t)-\la I_\alf^\sgm(t)\ra$.
 Straightforwardly, the individual spin-resolved noise power
 is given by
 $S_{\alf\alf'}^{\sgm\sgm'}(\omg)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\rmd t\,
 e^{\rmi \omg t}C^{\sgm\sgm'}_{\alf\alf'}(t)$.
 By choosing an arbitrary spin axis \textbf{z}, the total
 charge current noise can be readily unraveled into
 $S_{\alf\alf'}^{\rm ch}=
 S_{\alf\alf'}^{\upa\upa}+S_{\alf\alf'}^{\dwa\dwa}+
 S_{\alf\alf'}^{\upa\dwa}+S_{\alf\alf'}^{\dwa\upa}$.
 Here, the spin self-correlation $S_{\alf\alf'}^{\upa\upa}$
 ($S_{\alf\alf'}^{\dwa\dwa}$) represents fluctuation
 between the same spin currents, which was recently shown
 to be capable of serving as a sensitive tool to identify
 the dynamical spin $\upa$-$\dwa$
 ($\dwa$-$\upa$) bunching, i.e., bunching of up (down) spins
 due to dynamical blockade of a down (up)
 spin \cite{Cot04115315,Cot04206801,Don09153305}.
 It then naturally comes to a question:
 What can we infer from the spin
 mutual-correlation noise (fluctuation between opposite
 spin currents) $S_{\alf\alf'}^{\upa\dwa}$ or
 $S_{\alf\alf'}^{\dwa\upa}$?

 \begin{figure}
 \begin{center}

 spin-dependent transport through double
 quantum dots, in which only QD1 is tunnel-coupled

 \end{figure}

 \begin{figure*}

 Each quantum dot has only one level (assumed to be in resonance,
 i.e., $E_1=E_2$) within the bias window $V=V_\rmL-V_\rmR$.
 In the Coulomb blockade regime and for temperature $k_{\rm B} T\ll V$,
 the Fermi functions can be approximated by either one or
 zero, so the temperature is not involved here.}
 \end{center}
 \end{figure*}

 In the context of spin-dependent transport through a system of multiple
 nonlocal states, we investigate in this work these
 spin-resolved noise components and their connections to
 spin-resolved bunching behavior.
 Specifically, we consider a double quantum dot,
 where only one
 of the dots is tunnel-coupled to the ferromagnetic (FM)
 electrodes (see \fref{Fig1}).
 The system, which can be mapped to the one investigated
 recently in experiments \cite{Nau02161303,Saf03136801
 Nau04113316,Sas09266806}, is of particular interest, as
 it is arranged in such a configuration that can maximize
 locality versus nonlocality
 contrast \cite{Kim01245326,Cor05075305,Dju05032105,Luo10083720}.
 In the Coulomb blockade regime, we observe a unique
 dynamical spin $\upa$-$\upa$ ($\dwa$-$\dwa$) blockade
 phenomenon, namely, bunching of up (down) spins due to
 dynamical blockade of an up (down) spin.
 Different from the conventional spin $\upa$-$\dwa$ bunching,
 it is revealed that this new mechanism is intimately
 associated with positive spin mutual-correlation.
 We further demonstrate that the spin $\upa$-$\upa$ and
 $\upa$-$\dwa$ bunching of tunneling events may be
 coexistent in the regime of low spin polarization and
 weak interdot tunnel-coupling.

 The paper is organized as follows.
 In \Sec{thsec2}, we describe the double quantum dot
 system tunnel-coupled to FM electrodes.
 In \Sec{thsec3}, a Monte Carlo approach is introduced
 to simulate real-time single spin tunneling events.
 The spin-resolved noises, together with spin-resolved
 bunching of tunneling events will be discussed
 in detail.
 It is then followed by the conclude in \Sec{thsec4}.

 \section{\label{thsec2}Model Description}

 The system under study is sketched in \fref{Fig1},
 in which only QD1 is connected to the FM electrodes, whereas
 QD2 is side-connected to the QD1.
 The Hamiltonian of the entire system is
 $\hat{H}=\hat{H}_{\rm B}+\hat{H}_{\rm S}+\hat{H}'$,
 where $\hat{H}_{\rm B}=\sum_{\alf={\rm L,R}}\sum_{k,\sgm}
 \vpl_{\alf k\sgm}c_{\alf k\sgm}^\dag c_{\alf k\sgm}$ denotes
 the left and right FM electrodes;
 $c_{\alf k\sgm}$ ($c_{\alf k\sgm}^\dag$) is the
 electron annihilation (creation) operator of the electrode
 $\alf=$ L or R, with spin $\sgm=\,\upa$ or $\dwa$.
 The ferromagnetism of the electrode $\alf$ is
 accounted for by the spin-dependent density of
 states $g_{\alf\sgm}(\omg)$.
 Throughout all of our calculations presented here,
 we approximate the density of states to be energy
 independent, $g_{\alf\sgm}(\omg)=g_{\alf\sgm}$.
 (Real ferromagnets have a structured density of states,
 which only modifies details of our results but not the
 general physical picture.)
 The asymmetry in the density of states is
 characterized by the degree of spin polarization
 $p_\alf=(g_{\alf\upa}-g_{\alf\dwa})/(g_{\alf\upa}+g_{\alf\dwa})$
 with $-1\leq p_\alf\leq1$,
 in which $p_\alf=0$ denotes a nonmagnetic electrode and
 $p_\alf=\pm1$ corresponds to a half-metallic electrode.

 \begin{figure*}
 \begin{center}
 \includegraphics*[scale=1]{Fig_3}
 \caption{\label{Fig3} Spin self-correlations $S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\upa}$ and
 $S_{\alf\alf}^{\dwa\dwa}$, spin mutual-correlation $S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\dwa}$
 ($S_{\alf\alf}^{\dwa\upa}$), as well as
 the total charge current noise $S_{\alf\alf}^{\rm ch}$ vs polarization
 $p$ for various interdot couplings
 $\Omg/\Gam=0.1$, $0.2$, $1.0$, $5.0$.
 The left and right electrodes are of P configuration.
 The other parameters are the same as those in
 \fref{Fig2}.}
 \end{center}
 \end{figure*}

 The Hamiltonian for the coupled dots reads
 \bea
 \hat{H}_{\rm S}&=&\sum_{\ell=1,2}\left[\sum_{\sgm=\upa,\dwa}
 E_\ell \hat{n}_{\ell\sgm}+U_0\hat{n}_{\ell\upa}\hat{n}_{\ell\dwa}\right]
 +U'\hat{n}_1 \hat{n}_2
 \nl
 &&+\Omg\sum_\sgm(d_{1\sgm}^\dag d_{2\sgm}
 +d_{2\sgm}^\dag d_{1\sgm}),
 \eea
 where $d_{\ell\sgm}$ ($d_{\ell\sgm}^\dag$) is the creation
 (annihilation) operator of an electron with spin $\sgm=\upa$
 or $\dwa$ in QD1 ($\ell$=1) or QD2 ($\ell$=2);
 $\hat{n}_{\ell\sgm}=d_{\ell\sgm}^\dag d_{\ell\sgm}$ and
 $\hat{n}_\ell=\sum_\sgm\hat{n}_{\ell\sgm}$ are the
 corresponding particle number operators.
 Each QD has a spin-degenerate level within the bias
 window $V=V_\rmL-V_\rmR$.
 $U_0$ and $U'$  are respectively the intradot and
 interdot Coulomb repulsions; $\Omg$ denotes
 the strength of interdot tunnel-coupling.
 Hereafter, we consider double-dot Coulomb blockade
 regime \cite{Luo07085325,Luo08345215},
 i.e., $U_0$ and $U'$ are large enough such that states
 with two or more electrons in the double dots are not
 allowed.
 The involved states are both dots empty $|0\ra$, one
 electron with spin $\sgm$ in the QD1 $|1\sgm\ra$ or QD2
 $|2\sgm\ra$.
 Experimentally, it can be realized by properly tuning
 the gate and bias voltages \cite{Wie031,Ono021313,Fuj061634,Kop06766}.

 Tunneling between QD1 and electrodes is described by
 $\hat{H}'=\sum_{\alf k\sgm}\big(t_{\alf k\sgm}
 c_{\alf k\sgm}^\dag d_{1\sgm}+{\rm H.c.}\big)$.
 The FM electrodes result in spin-dependent tunnel
 couplings
 $\Gam_{\alf\sgm}=2\pi\sum_k|t_{\alf k\sgm}|^2\delta(\vpl_{\alf k\sgm}-\omg)$.
 In what follows, we consider two magnetic configurations.
 (i) The parallel (P) alignment, when the majority of electrons
 in both electrodes point in the same direction. (ii) The antiparallel
 (AP) case, in which the magnetization of the two electrodes
 are opposite to each other.
 Thus for the P alignment we have
 \bsube
 \be
 \Gam_{\rmL\upa/\rmL\dwa}\!=\!\frac{1}{2}(1 \pm p_\rmL)\GamL
 \;\;{\rm and}\;\;
 \Gam_{\rmR\upa/\rmR\dwa}\!=\!\frac{1}{2}(1 \pm p_\rmR)\GamR,
 \ee
 while for the AP configuration we set
 \be
 \Gam_{\rmL\upa/\rmL\dwa}\!=\!\frac{1}{2}(1 \pm p_\rmL)\GamL
 \;\;{\rm and}\;\;
 \Gam_{\rmR\upa/\rmR\dwa}\!=\!\frac{1}{2}(1 \mp p_\rmR)\GamR.
 \ee
 \esube
 Here $\Gam_\alf=(\Gam_{\alf\upa}+\Gam_{\alf\dwa})$ is
 the total coupling strength regardless the spin orientation.

 \section{\label{thsec3}Results and Discussions}

 In order to get a deep understanding of the spin dynamics and
 fluctuations in transport,
 a Monte Carlo method is employed to simulate the
 real-time single spin tunneling events in the quantum-jump regime.
 We introduce two stochastic point variables
 d$N_{\rmL\sgm}(t)$ and d$N_{\rmR\sgm}(t)$
 (with values either 0 or 1) to stand for, respectively,
 the numbers of spin-$\sgm$ ($\sgm$=$\upa,\dwa$) electron tunneled
 to the double dots from left electrode and that from the double dots
 to the right electrode, during the time interval d$t$.
 The conditional quantum master equation for the
 reduced density matrix reads \cite{Goa01125326}
 \bea
 \rmd \rho_\rmc=&-\rmi {\cal L}\rho_\rmc(t)\rmd t
 -\sum_{\sgm=\upa,\dwa}\{\Gam_{\rmL\sgm}{\cal A}[d^\dag_{1\sgm}]
 +\Gam_{\rmR\sgm}{\cal A}[d_{1\sgm}]
 \nl
 &-{\cal P}_{\rmL\sgm}(t)-{\cal P}_{\rmR\sgm}(t)\}\rho_\rmc(t)\rmd t
 \nl
 &+\sum_{\sgm=\upa,\dwa}\rmd N_{\rmL\sgm}
 \left[\frac{\Gam_{\rmL\sgm}{\cal J}[d^\dag_{1\sgm}]}{{\cal P}_{\rmL\sgm}(t)}-1\right]\rho_{\rmc}(t)
 \nl
 &+\sum_{\sgm=\upa,\dwa}\rmd N_{\rmR\sgm}\left[\frac{\Gam_{\rmR\sgm}{\cal J}[d_{1\sgm}]}{{\cal P}_{\rmR\sgm}(t)}-1\right]\rho_{\rmc}(t),\label{rhoc}
 \eea
 where the attached subscript ``c'' is to indicate that the quantum
 state is conditioned on previous measurement results.
 Here the superoperators are defined as
 ${\cal L}(\cdots)\equiv[\hat{H}_{\rm S},\cdots]$,
 ${\cal J}[X]\rho_{\rmc}\equiv X\rho_{\rmc}X^\dag$ and
 ${\cal A}[X]\rho_{\rmc}\equiv\frac{1}{2}(X^\dag X\rho_{\rmc}+\rho_{\rmc}X^\dag X)$.
 The involving stochastic point variables satisfy
 \bsube
 \bea
 E[\rmd N_{\rmL\sgm}(t)]=&{\cal P}_{\rmL\sgm}(t)\rmd t=\Tr\{ {\cal J}[\sqrt{\Gam_{\rmL\sgm}}d_{1\sgm}^\dag]\rho_{\rmc}\}\rmd t,\label{dNL}
 \\
 E[\rmd N_{\rmR\sgm}(t)]=&{\cal P}_{\rmR\sgm}(t)\rmd t
 =\Tr\{ {\cal J}[\sqrt{\Gam_{\rmR\sgm}}d_{1\sgm}]\rho_{\rmc}\}\rmd t,\label{dNR}
 \eea
 \esube
 where $E[(\cdots)]$ denotes an ensemble average of a large number of
 quantum trajectories.
 In this quantum trajectory approach, spin tunneling events
 condition the future evolution of the system state [see \eref{rhoc}],
 while the instantaneous quantum state conditions
 the measured spin tunneling events through the double dots
 [see \eref{dNL} and \eref{dNR}] in a self-consistent manner.
 One thus is propagating in parallel the information
 of the conditioned (stochastic) state evolution ($\rho_\rmc$)
 and detection record (d$N_{\alf\sgm}$) in
 a single realization of the readout measurement experiment.

 The spin tunneling events (d$N_{\alf\sgm}$) leads
 straightforwardly to the spin-$\sgm$ dependent
 current $I_{\alf}^{\sgm}(t)=e \rmd N_{\alf\sgm}(t)/\rmd t$,
 and consequently the total charge current
 $I^{\rm ch}_\alf=I^{\upa}_\alf+I^{\dwa}_\alf$.
 Hereafter, we will use
 $\bar{I}\equiv E[I^{\rm ch}_\alf(t)]_{t\rightarrow\infty}$
 to represent the ensemble stationary current.
 The spin-resolved time correlation function
 [$C_{\alf\alf'}^{\sgm\sgm'}(t)$] and
 its corresponding noise spectrum
 [$S_{\alf\alf'}^{\sgm\sgm'}\equiv S_{\alf\alf'}^{\sgm\sgm'}(\omg=0)$]
 can be evaluated following \cite{Goa01235307},
 or by using alternatively a spin-resolved quantum master
 equation approach \cite{Gur05205341,Dju06115327}.
 In what follows, noise between different electrodes are not considered
 as it simply satisfies $S_{\rm LR}^{\sgm\sgm'}=-S_{\alf\alf}^{\sgm\sgm'}$
 for the present two-terminal device
 (Note such a relation generally does not hold for
 a multi-terminal structure \cite{Bag03085316,Cot04115315,Cot04206801}).
 For simplicity, we assume symmetric tunnel couplings
 ($\GamL=\GamR=\Gam/2$) and equal magnitude of spin
 polarization in the two electrodes ($p_\rmL=p_\rmR=p$).

 First let us focus on the P alignment.
 \Fref{Fig2}(a)-(f) show the set of measured spin tunneling
 events ($\rmd N_{\rmL\upa/\rmL\dwa}$) and the
 corresponding real-time quantum state ($\rho_\rmc$) for
 polarization $p=0.8$ and interdot coupling $\Omg/\Gam=1.0$.
 We observe unambiguously the bunching of up-spin tunneling
 events.
 When a down spin is injected into the double dots,
 it will stay there and experiences some oscillations
 between the two dots, until it finally escapes to the
 right electrode
 [see \fref{Fig2} (e) and (f) the instantaneous
 quantum states of a down spin in QD1 and QD2].
 The up spins can flow only in short
 time windows where the current is not blockaded by a
 down spin [see \fref{Fig2}(a)-(c)], leading thus to
 the conventional dynamical spin
 blockade, as discussed in Refs. [\onlinecite{Cot04115315,Cot04206801,Don09153305}].
 For clarity, we refer to this mechanism as dynamical
 spin $\upa$-$\dwa$ blockade to specify the bunching
 of up spins due to dynamical blockade of a down spin.
 The dynamical spin $\upa$-$\dwa$ blockade gives rise to
 a prominent super-Poisson spin self-correlation
 $S^{\upa\upa}_{\alf\alf}$, as shown in \fref{Fig3}(a).
 Note here we only need to consider $S^{\upa\upa}_{\alf\alf}$
 due to the fact that $S^{\upa\upa}_{\alf\alf}$
 and $S^{\dwa\dwa}_{\alf\alf}$ are symmetric
 with respect to the spin polarization $p$, i.e.,
 \fref{Fig3}(a) vs (b).

 The spin self-correlation $S^{\upa\upa}_{\alf\alf}$
 increases monotonically with the polarization as
 displayed in \fref{Fig3}(a).
 Only for sufficient spin polarization that the ``$\upa$-$\dwa$''
 competition mechanism takes place, which leads eventually to
 the super-Poisson spin
 self-correlation $S^{\upa\upa}_{\alf\alf}$.
 Yet, it is also instructive to investigate the noise at
 low polarization, for instance $p=$0.
 The total charge current noise $S_{\alf\alf}^{\rm ch}$ as shown
 in \fref{Fig3}(d) exhibits unambiguously super-Poisson statistics
 for $\Omg/\Gam=0.2$ (dashed line).
 It implies bunching of charge tunneling events regardless
 of the spin orientations.
 However, neither of its components ($S^{\upa\upa}_{\alf\alf}$
 or $S^{\dwa\dwa}_{\alf\alf}$) exceeds the Poisson
 value
 [$S^{\upa\upa}_{\alf\alf}/(2e\bar{I})|_{p=0}
 =S^{\dwa\dwa}_{\alf\alf}/(2e\bar{I})|_{p=0}=0.46$].
 It means that the super-Poisson charge noise does not
 stem from the dynamical spin $\upa$-$\dwa$ or
 $\dwa$-$\upa$ bunching.
 In other words, the spin self-correlations $S^{\upa\upa}_{\alf\alf}$
 and $S^{\dwa\dwa}_{\alf\alf}$ do not capture the whole
 picture of spin bunching.

 We ascribe the occurrence of the super-Poisson charge noise
 to a unique dynamical spin $\upa$-$\upa$
 or $\dwa$-$\dwa$ bunching, which is confirmed by the
 numerical simulation of real-time spin tunneling
 as shown in \fref{Fig2}(g)-(j) for $p$=0 and $\Omg/\Gam=0.2$.
 When a down spin is injected into QD1,
 it cycles to the QD2, where it is localized due to weak
 interdot tunnel-coupling. The current is thus blockaded until the
 down spin finally tunnels to the right electrode,
 which is then followed by a bunch of down spins flowing
 through the system, i.e., bunching of \emph{down} spins
 due to dynamical blockade of a \emph{down} spin
 [see \fref{Fig2}(k)-(l)].
 We call this new mechanism the dynamical spin $\dwa$-$\dwa$
 blockade to distinguish it from the $\upa$-$\dwa$ one.
 Similarly, dynamical spin $\upa$-$\upa$ bunching is
 observed as shown in \fref{Fig2}(g)-(i).
 However, the dynamical spin $\upa$-$\upa$ or $\dwa$-$\dwa$
 blockade does not necessarily give rise to super-Poissonian
 spin self-correlations.
 We will reveal this new spin bunching mechanism is
 intimately associated with the spin mutual-correlation
 $S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\dwa}$,
 which thus can be utilized as an additional diagnostic
 tool to the dynamics and fluctuations in spin transport.

 \begin{figure}
 \begin{center}
 \includegraphics*[scale=0.75]{Fig_4}
 \caption{\label{Fig4} Time dependence of correlation function
 $C_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\dwa}(t)$ for $\Omg/\Gam=0.2$, $p=0$ (solid line)
 and $\Omg/\Gam=1.0$, $p=0.8$ (dotted line).}
 \end{center}
 \end{figure}

 For a quantitative analysis, we first evaluate some fundamental
 time scales involved in transport (for $\Omg/\Gam=0.2$ and $p$=0).
 By using 2000 independent trajectories analogous to the
 ones shown in \fref{Fig2}(g)-(l),
 we get the average delay between the occupancy of the
 dots by two consecutive up spins $\tau_0=1.01\Gam^{-1}$
 and the average dwell time of up spins
 on the double dots $\tau_{\upa}=4.00\Gam^{-1}$.

 The average duration of the ``bunch'' of up spins is
 then obtained as $\tau_{\rm b}=6.01\Gam^{-1}$.
 (An alternative approach to obtain these quantities
 can be found in Ref. [\onlinecite{Cot04115315}].)
 The above time scales are able to reveal the
 intrinsic dynamics in spin transport.
 Consider, for instance, the spin-resolved time correlation
 function $C_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\dwa}(t)$, as shown by the
 solid line in \fref{Fig4}.
 It is negative for times shorter than $\tau_0$. It then
 rises, becomes positive and reaches a maximum at
 a time comparable to $\tau_{\upa}$.
 Finally, it decreases on a time scale of
 $\tau_{\upa}+\tau_{\rm b}$.
 For the time scales of tunneling of down spins, analogous
 analysis can be applied.
 The above characteristic times in the correlation function
 thus allow us to attribute the positive $S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\dwa}$
 to the dynamical spin $\upa$-$\upa$ or $\dwa$-$\dwa$ blockade
 mechanism.
 In comparison, these unique time features can not be identified
 in the case of large interdot coupling ($\Omg/\Gam=1.0$) and
 strong magnetic polarization ($p$=0.8), as shown by the
 dotted line in \fref{Fig4}.

 \begin{figure*}
 \begin{center}
 \includegraphics*[scale=1]{Fig_5}
 \caption{\label{Fig5}
 Spin self-correlations $S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\upa}$ and $S_{\alf\alf}^{\dwa\dwa}$,
 spin mutual-correlation $S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\dwa}$ ($S_{\alf\alf}^{\dwa\upa}$),
 as well as the total charge current noise $S_{\alf\alf}^{\rm ch}$
 vs polarization $p$ for various interdot couplings $\Omg/\Gam$
 =0.1, 0.2, 1.0, and 5.0. The left and right electrodes are of AP alignment.
 The other parameters are the same as those in \fref{Fig2}.}
 \end{center}
 \end{figure*}

 The requirements to observe the dynamical spin $\upa$-$\upa$ or
 $\dwa$-$\dwa$ bunching of tunneling events thus can be inferred
 from the spin mutual-correlation. For the P alignment, the
 analytic expression is give by
 \be
 S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\dwa}=2e\bar{I}\frac{(1-p^2)\Gam^2-16\Omg^2}{200\Omg^2}.
 \ee
 It might be either positive or negative, depending on the
 degree of spin polarization and the strength of interdot
 tunnel-coupling.
 For $\Omg<\frac{1}{4}\Gam$, positive spin mutual-correlation
 is observed provided the electrodes are weakly polarized,
 implying thus the occurrence of dynamical spin $\upa$-$\upa$
 or $\dwa$-$\dwa$ bunching [cf. \fref{Fig2}(g)-(l)].
 It is worth noting that the presented spin transport
 behavior persists over a wide range of polarization
 as long as the interdot coupling is weak enough.
 It thus offers an opportunity to observe the coexistence
 of spin $\upa$-$\upa$ and $\upa$-$\dwa$ bunching of
 tunneling events, as displayed in \fref{Fig2}(m)-(r)
 for spin polarization $p$=0.25 and interdot coupling
 $\Omg/\Gam=0.1$.
 In the opposite regime of $\Omg>\frac{1}{4}\Gam$, the interdot
 coupling is large enough to overcome electron localization
 in QD2, leading thus to the disappearance of the dynamical
 spin $\upa$-$\upa$ or $\dwa$-$\dwa$ bunching, as
 confirmed by our numerical real-time simulation (not
 shown explicitly).
 The resultant spin mutual-correlation is negative at arbitrary
 strength of spin polarization [see the dotted ($\Omg/\Gam=1$)
 and dash-dotted ($\Omg/\Gam=5$) lines in \fref{Fig3}(c)].

 Let us now turn to the situation where the electrodes are
 of AP alignment.
 The self-correlations $S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\upa}$ and
 $S_{\alf\alf}^{\dwa\dwa}$ vs spin polarization $p$
 are plotted in \fref{Fig5}(a) and (b), respectively.
 Again, we take $S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\upa}$ for illustration.
 If the left electrode is fully spin-down polarized, transport
 of up spins are completely suppressed, which leads to
 a vanishing $S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\upa}$ as $p\rightarrow-1$.
 In the opposite limit of $p\rightarrow1$, only up spins are
 allowed to tunnel into the coupled dots; however, under the
 AP alignment the rate of tunneling out to the right electrode
 is strongly inhibited.
 In this case, tunneling of up spins is in close analogy to electron
 tunneling through an extremely asymmetric double barrier
 structure \cite{Che914534}.
 The up spin tunneling events are thus uncorrelated, and the
 resultant noise correlation turns out to be Poisson
 ($S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\upa}\rightarrow1$), independent of
 interdot coupling strength $\Omg$.
 In a wide range in between, the noise is very sensitive to the
 interdot coupling strength.
 Particularly, we observe a super-Poissonian spin self-correlation
 $S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\upa}$, as shown by
 the solid line in \fref{Fig5}(a).
 The occurrence of dynamical spin $\upa$-$\dwa$ bunching
 relies on two conditions:
 (i) Appropriate spin polarization in the electrodes, and
 (ii) strong localization of a down spin in QD2, which is
 fulfilled at weak interdot coupling $\Omg$
 ($\Omg<\frac{1}{9}\Gam$ according to our calculation).
 A rising interdot coupling leads to delocalization
 of the down spin. The dynamical spin $\upa$-$\dwa$
 blockade is lifted, which results eventually in
 a sub-Poisson self-correlation for arbitrary
 polarization [see, for instance, the dashed line in
 \fref{Fig5}(a) for $\Omg/\Gam=0.2$].

 Although neither of the two spin self-correlations
 ($S_{\alf\alf}^{\upa\upa}$
 and $S_{\alf\alf}^{\dwa\dwa}$) exhibits super-Poisson statistics
 for $\Omg/\Gam=0.2$,
 the total charge current noise displays unambiguously super-Poisson
 characteristics [dashed line in \fref{Fig5}(d)].
 Analogous to situation of P configuration, the super-Poisson
 noise here arises from the dynamical spin $\upa$-$\upa$ or
 $\dwa$-$\dwa$ bunching, as one can infer from the positive
 spin mutual-correlation [dashed line in \fref{Fig5}(c)].
 A decrease in the strength of interdot tunnel-coupling
 leads to enhancement of the dynamical spin $\upa$-$\upa$
 or $\dwa$-$\dwa$ bunching, and finally increases the spin
 mutual-correlation [cf. \fref{Fig5}].
 Thus, if the interdot tunnel-coupling is low enough one may
 observe the coexistence of dynamical spin $\upa$-$\dwa$
 ($\dwa$-$\upa$) and $\upa$-$\upa$ ($\dwa$-$\dwa$)
 bunching of tunneling events, as indicated by the
 super-Poisson spin self-correlation and positive
 mutual-correlation \fref{Fig5} (a) and (b), respectively.
 Yet, different from the P alignment, the dynamical spin
 $\upa$-$\upa$ blockade survives  even for a strong
 interdot coupling $\Omg$, as long as the
 electrodes are not weakly polarized.
 In this case, an up spin injected into the double dots
 may experience some oscillations between the two dots
 before it can tunnel out to the right electrode owing to
 a small $\Gam_{\rmR\upa}$.
 Its dwell on the double dots serves an ``effective''
 dynamical spin $\upa$-$\upa$ blockade mechanism, yielding
 thus a positive spin mutual-correlation.
 On the other hand, the small $\Gam_{\rmR\upa}$ also
 inhibits tunneling of up spins, which explains the
 suppressed spin mutual-correlation observed in \fref{Fig5}(c).

 We note that current transport through similar
 structure has also been investigated recently
 in \cite{Wey08075305,Wey08045310} and super-Poissonian noise
 was reported.
 There, the existence of a very lower tunneling rate between
 QD2 and the electrodes than that between QD1
 and the electrodes leads to finite occupation of the QD2,
 which gives rise eventually to the super-Poissonian fluctuations.
 Although the mechanisms are different, the finally results
 happen to be consistent qualitatively.
 That is, the total charge current noise is larger
 in the P configuration than in the AP one for a
 large polarization, see \fref{Fig3}(d) and \fref{Fig5}(d).

 \section{\label{thsec4}Conclusion }

 In the context of spin-dependent transport though a Coulomb
 blockaded double quantum dot system, we revealed unambiguously
 unique dynamical spin $\upa$-$\upa$ and $\dwa$-$\dwa$ bunching
 of tunneling events, as confirmed by the
 real-time Monte Carlo simulation of spin tunneling.
 Different from the conventional dynamical spin $\upa$-$\dwa$
 bunching, this new mechanism is found to be intimately
 associated with the spin mutual-correlation
 for both (parallel and antiparallel) magnetic configurations.
 Under conditions of low spin polarization and weak interdot
 tunnel-coupling, we demonstrated the coexistence of the dynamical
 spin $\upa$-$\dwa$ and $\upa$-$\upa$ bunching events.
 Our analysis together with recent suggestions on measurement
 of spin-resolved noise correlations \cite{Sau04106601,For05016601,Cov04184406}
 may shed light on possibilities towards feedback control of
 spin transport through quantum dot systems \cite{Bra10060602,Kie12091226}.

Grimsby is home to the world's largest offshore wind operations and maintenance centre, a hub for the operations and maintenance of some of the biggest offshore wind farms globally.
The area is also attracting international attention for its pioneering carbon neutral projects. The dramatic rise in renewables locally puts Grimsby Dock's Kasbah in prime position for the sector and makes it the ideal place for supply chain offices, storage, retail or training, as evidenced by CWind Training's recent move to Grimsby Docks.
Big employer
Almost 2,000 Grimsby people are currently employed in the renewables industry and this number is only set to increase as many important projects get under way.
The North Sea area has the perfect climate for wind farms and consequently this is a sector which will continue to see growth and investment in the town during the years to come.
Well established in Grimsby, global players such as Orsted and RWE continue to grow and expand their Hornsea and Sofia offshore wind farms, with the Orsted and Triton Knoll bases actually facing on to Fish Dock Road, the Kasbah's original high street.
Grimsby's proximity to the North Sea, its meteorological draw and the area's accessible UK position make it an attractive proposition for research and innovation projects.
ORE Catapult have recently set up in the Grade II listed Dock Offices, one of its goals being the acceleration and growth of offshore renewables across the region in addition to strengthening the supply chain for nearby wind farms.
Big business and worldwide governments are taking note of Zero Carbon Humber, a partnership dedicated to the capture of carbon and its storage in permanent aquifers under the North Sea.
Zero Carbon Humber is the first project of its kind, attempting decarbonisation at an industrial scale, and is a pioneer in carbon neutrality.
Also currently making headlines is the Gigastack project, a renewable hydrogen collaboration between Orsted, Phillips 66 Limited, ITM Power and Element Energy.
Provision for workers
Of course, where there is growth and employment there are also hungry staff in need of refreshment. The Kasbah has a history of supplying dock workers with food and drink as they go about their day and there is ample room for people considering opening cafes or snack bars close to the water's edge.
Without doubt, this is the perfect time to consider the opportunities available for those looking to position their businesses within the Kasbah community.

Report Sheds Light On Lax Oversight Of Surgery Centers
An in-depth investigative report raises troubling questions about the risks of using surgery centers in the United States.
According to a Kaiser Health News and USA Today Network investigation, surgery centers in more than a dozen states operate with little oversight. Patients and regulators have scant information about incidents that may have occurred in these facilities, including serious injuries and deaths during routine procedures.
The article cites an example involving an Arkansas surgery center where patients underwent colonoscopies. Two patients died and another had a close call with death following the procedures, which doctors say are usually extremely safe.
Alarmingly, the three incidents failed to trigger any official investigation in Arkansas, according to the article. Arkansas is one of 17 states with no mandate to report deaths after treatment at surgery centers.
Surgery centers outnumber hospitals, yet these facilities operate under a hodgepodge of regulations across the country. A patient who checks into a surgery center may have no way of knowing the facility has a dodgy history when it comes to safety.
Kaiser Health News (KHN) cited a well-known case involving the late comedian Joan Rivers. She suffered complications after a routine procedure at Yorkville Endoscopy, a New York City surgery center, and was transferred to a hospital. She died a week later, yet her name did not appear in Medicare's public listing of patients rushed to a hospital.
Lawsuit Filed After Comedian's Death
The family of Joan Rivers filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the clinic that treated her, according to the Washington Post. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services took away the facility's accreditation, saying it "no longer meets the conditions for coverage for a supplier of Ambulatory Surgical Center services," USA Today reported.
The patient who had a near-fatal experience in Kanis Endoscopy, the Arkansas clinic, told Kaiser Health News she did not know that two people died three months before she went in for a colonoscopy. While undergoing treatment, she heard two men saying her blood pressure was dropping.
"I said, 'Lord, if it's time for me to go, take me. But I'm not ready,'" the patient, Faye Watkins, told KHN. She later woke up in a hospital feeling pain in her chest from CPR.
A big takeaway from the report is that surgical centers need better oversight. Records of outcomes from surgery are more limited in these clinics than they are at hospitals. Currently, there are about 5,600 surgery centers nationwide, according to KHN, which is slightly higher than the number of hospitals. Patients visit surgery centers for a range of routine procedures, from tonsillectomies to knee replacements. Yet some patients have lost their lives.
According to the investigative report, more than 260 patients have died since 2013 after treatment for routine procedures in surgery centers across the country.
In some cases, Medicare inspectors have ordered an "involuntary decertification" (meaning the government won't pay for senior care at the facility). However, surgery centers that have been hit with such orders have sometimes continued to operate due to different state regulations.
As experienced medical malpractice attorneys in Chicago, we find the lack of oversight and lack of information for patients extremely troubling. No one should expect to be seriously injured or die following a routine procedure at a surgery center.
Lax oversight may be contributing to these senseless tragedies. If you or a loved one was injured or your loved one died after using a surgery center, you will need a knowledgeable attorney on your side. Contact The Deratany Firm today for a free consultation.

Everyone would agree that some of the most elite athletes such as Tiger Woods, Kevin Durant, and Derek Jeter have worked extremely hard to get where they are today. But they didn't just wake up and say, I'm going to be a professional athlete one day BOOM. Each one of them had to put in hours of hard work, grit, perseverance, determination, focus, discipline, application and many other traits to attain the position and platform they now have. With that being said, sports are one of the main things we as Americans associate ourselves with on a daily basis, especially dudes. Our day: Wake up, turn on ESPN then go most of the day scrolling through various webpages on different sports and sporting events. On the weekends we attend some of the biggest and loudest football games one could imagine. Sports are some of the greatest ways to bring friends and families together, but they can also teach us a lot about different things in life.
Being a sports junky, analogies like this one I'm about to tell you are so prevalent to my walk with Christ and hopefully will be influential for your walk with Christ. Growing up I have always been around some type of sport or attending a sporting event. It has been my life, my escape, a way for me to express myself, and a way for me to be challenged at the same time. All in all, not the easiest of rides though. I have dealt with many ups and downs along the way. Sometimes frustration gets to you while other times you cannot seem to miss a shot out there and the game is just…. easy. In the end, sports have shown me a lot about how to have a successful walk with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
To play any sport, practice and preparation are necessary. This is the same in our walk with Jesus. God asks us as servants of Him (2 Timothy) to be fully equipped for every good work. If I am not preparing and building on an area of my game on a consistent basis I will fall in tricky places throughout competition. The same goes for our walk with Jesus. We must work to consistently and intentionally be filling our mind with the good word, taking next steps, and seeking Godly community around us to hold us accountable. We are in awe when Tiger Woods makes a putt to win or Kevin Durant makes a game winner, but do you know how many hours of preparation these guys have put into their job? What if we practice living for Jesus like these professional athletes practice for a game or tournament? We would be hitting game winners almost every week and be on Heaven ESPN top ten. My point is, to be successful in living an AGAINSTIFLOW lifestyle, changes and hard work are mandatory. The work can be hard, but the end results are priceless.


With the buzz of the election year finally coming to a halt, you've probably witnessed your share of lawn signs promoting each candidate's campaign. Like most people, you're also probably tired of seeing them around every corner, beside every bush, and perched by every stop sign. But as annoying as they may be, lawn signs have actually been proven to be relatively successful, not only in electoral campaigns, but also in promoting business growth. Yard signs are cost effective ways to temporarily advertise products, services, and short-term events. They are great for promoting retail events, yard sales, sports tournaments, and of course political campaigns.
The typical lawn sign is 18" x 24", but we also offer custom shapes and sizes in order to meet your specific needs.
Lawn signs are only meant for short term use—typically up to 6 months.
Be sure to choose the right colors and materials—such as coroplast. Coroplast is a plastic material that has a "rippled" effect, almost like a glorified cardboard material.
Be conscious of using appropriate typography and wordage when purchasing your promotional signs. You only have a few seconds to engage potential customers so opt for an easily readable text—keep in mind the color, size, and font being used.
Do you need the sign to be single sided or double sided? Double sided signs add a marginal cost, as well as a tremendous amount of versatility.
Do you need any special finishing, such as grommets or h-stakes? Ask our specialists at A+ Signs for a full list of customizations.
Is this a temporary sign application? Yard signs can be reused and relocated more than just once. However, yard signs typically only have a longevity of 6 months. If you are looking for a sign to use for longer than that, we recommend exploring some of our other options.
If you have any questions or need help with promoting your business through the use of lawn signs or any other commercial sign, be sure to contact the professionals at A+ Signs Inc. to explore your options.

Royal Dutch Shell Posts a Ghastly Loss of $7.4 Billion This Quarter
By Tyler CroweFool.com
Image source: Royal Dutch Shell via flickr.com.
That is not a typo. Royal Dutch Shell reported a net loss this quarter of $7.4 billion. Even other companies in the space have seen their profits drop over the past quarter, but so far no one has seen such a deep dive into the red like Shell did this past quarter. Based on some of the moves the company made this past quarter, though, these losses were somewhat expected. Let's take a quick look at the numbers and what Shell is focusing on to break through this oil industry slump.
By the numbersThat net loss of $7.4 billion for the quarter brought Shell down from a net profit of $4.6 billion in the same quarter last year. That number is a little misleading, however, because Shell took $7.9 billion in charges to the income statement to write down several investments. A large portion of that was related to the recent cancellation of its Alaskan drilling program, but it is also a reflection of the recent decision to suspend development of its Carmon Creek oil sands project in Canada. According to CFO Simon Henry, the company also took a non-cash charge of $1 billion related to currency fluctuations that wasn't included in its "selected items" writedown.
Even if we take out the effects of all those assets writedowns and impairments, results still weren't too impressive. Upstream earnings were dragged into the red mostly on its Americas segment, which lost $1.2 billion this quarter. But like many of its peers, Shell's refining and chemical segments helped bail it out from a completely disastrous quarter, as seen in the following chart:
Data source: Royal Dutch Shell earnings report. Chart by author.
Those weak upstream earnings in its Americas segment is starting to look more like a structural issue the company will need to deal with. This is the fourth straight quarter where the company has lost money on production in the Americas. To be fair, the Americas segment is dealing with much lower price realizations than its international segment. At the prices it saw this past quarter, it's hard to imagine any company generating a profit.
Data source: Royal Dutch Shell earnings release.
The one aspect of the company's results that you could say wasn't too bad is that it was able to generate $11 billion in cash for the quarter including working capital improvements. That was enough cash to cover its capital obligations for the quarter and leave some extra to bolster the balance sheet. This has helped the company keep its net debt to capital ratio at a very comfortable 12.7% even after a year of declining oil prices.
The big picture: Working through the portfolio for the BG mergerYou could call this quarter's decision to write down its earnings so heavily as a way of ripping off the bandage. Alaskan drilling had been giving the company fits for several years now, and chances are it wouldn't have started any significant developments in the area before the exploration licenses in the Beaufort and Chukchi start to expire in 2017 and 2020, respectively.
The same could be said for its Carmon Creek oil sands operations. Several new oil sources have developed in recent years that have much lower breakeven costs, and it could be a very long time before higher-cost sources such as oil sands start to become economically viable again.
Another reason that Shell can now cut ties with these oil sources is that it will have plenty of other investment opportunities available to it with the acquisition of BG Group. The combined companies will have very strong presences in both LNG and non-Arctic deepwater drilling. By refilling its quiver with new development projects, those other more expensive projects won't be missed as much.
What a Fool believesBased on the actions that Shell's management has taken in the face of the recent oil price slide, it's pretty clear that they are trying to reposition themselves before the BG Group merger. By combining the two companies, it will be concentrated in two major areas: deepwater and LNG.
It's commendable that the company has been able to cut costs and get back to some semblance of cash generation that pays for its investments and dividends. However, we may want to wait and see since a large portion of that cash was from working capital improvements. Until we get a clearer picture of what the Shell/BG combined company looks like and how it performs, though, it may be best to sit on the sidelines and watch this story unfold.

Britain must reclaim its borders, warn Tory activists
Sam Coates
September 1 2014, 1:01am, The Times
Britain must reclaim control over its borders from Europe and introduce tough immigration controls, a leading Conservative grassroots organisation is demanding.
The plan, outlined in ConservativeHome's pre-election manifesto, is supported by YouGov polling, which indicates that seven out of ten voters want free movement within the EU scrapped, rising to nine out of ten among Tory voters.
The calls for tougher limits on EU migration, which command sympathy among some cabinet ministers and many Tory MPs, is a deliberate provocation to David Cameron, who has refused to engage with the idea because he sees it as an unrealistic target for his EU renegotiation strategy.
Pressure is growing, however, after the prime minister was confronted by figures last week which showed that net migration was 243,000…

Q: Is it possible to beat Brock in the first battle with him? In Pokemon: Ash Grey, the first time you face Brock you're supposed to lose to his Onix, as part of the storyline - you then follow Flint to the Hydro-Electric plant, power up Pikachu, and return to face him again.
But is it possible to beat him the first time? I've tried using Butterfree, Pidgeotto & Ratatta, all level 10 (for Sleep Powder, Sand Attack and Tail Whip respectively), but haven't been able to get off a shot with any Pokemon before being hit by a One-hit KO Rock Throw.
Have Onix's stats been boosted to make sure this battle is a wash? Or is it technically stil possible to beat him at this stage?

A: Yes, it is possible to beat him the first time you battle him. The battle ends, and the story continues as if you had lost (As per the story in the anime) which means you still need to beat him again.
I took him with:

*

*Butterfree: Lv 11

*Pikachu: Lv 12

*Pidgeotto: Lv 10

*Pidgey: Lv 10 (Didn't use)

*Ratatta: Lv 10

*Sandshrew: Lv 10 (Didn't use)

I managed to get a lucky Sleep Powder the first move - Onix missed his Rock Throw. I switched to Pidgeotto and Sand attacked him (maxed out accuracy loss). I then switched to Pikachu and Paralysed him with Thunderwave (He was awake by that stage), and started using Thundershock.
I got him to about half health when Onix got in a lucky crit Rock throw, and I switched to Ratatta and started with Tail Whip. Once his Defence was lowered enough I Quick Attacked him until he fainted.

A: I caught a Psyduck in the lake to the right of victory road. It was lvl 21 and knew confusion, so it two hit KO'd onyx! Then he just acted like he beat me, and I was super confused.

A: Well the answer is yes. First capture a Mankey nearby Pallet Town and like other Pokemon Games, train your party until their stats have become ok to that gym. Second Your Mnakey must have the low kick movement that's great against rock types. Thunderwaves and other accuracy ratio attacks are good too. Matter of fact a win or a lose in this case don't change the storyline, you got to play against him again but if you win you won't be blanked out and lose money!

Q: How do I create a join in Fluent Nhibernate on two non-key properties whose names do not match? I have two tables in my legacy database
Purchases

*

*Id int(PK)

*name varchar(50)

*MasterAccount char(10)

*BuyerAccount char(10)

MasterAccounts

*

*Id int(PK)

*Name varchar(50)

*MasterAccountNumber char(10)

*AccountNumber char(10)

I have an object that maps 1:1 to the purchases table. I want to add the "Name" column from the MasterAccounts table to the purchases object as a property.
How do I tell Fluent Nhibernate to perform a join when the two columns I want to join on:

*

*are not defined as foreign keys in the database

*Do not have the same name in each table

It might be helpful to see the SQL that I want to generate.

Select Purchases.*, MA.Name
from Purchases
left join MasterAccounts MA
on
MA.MasterAccountNumber = Purchases.MasterAccount
and
MA.AccountNumber = Purchases.BuyerAccount

A: Assuming that the MasterAccount field in Purchases matches the MasterAccountNumber in MasterAccounts...create a view in sql with the table format you are trying to map:
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[v_PurchaseMasterAccountName]
AS
SELECT     dbo.Purchases.Id, dbo.Purchases.Name, dbo.Purchases.MasterAccount, dbo.Purchases.BuyerAccount, dbo.MasterAccounts.Name AS MasterAccountName
FROM         dbo.MasterAccounts INNER JOIN
                      dbo.Purchases ON dbo.MasterAccounts.MasterAccountNumber = dbo.Purchases.MasterAccount

Create a ClassMap to map your view:
public class Purchase
{
    public virtual int Id { get; set; }
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }
    public virtual string MasterAccountName { get; set; }
    public virtual string MasterAccount { get; set; }
    public virtual string BuyerAccount { get; set; }
}

public class PurchaseClassMap : ClassMap<Purchase>
{
    public PurchaseClassMap()
    {
        Table("v_PurchaseMasterAccountName");
        Id(x => x.Id);
        Map(x => x.Name);
        Map(x => x.MasterAccount);
        Map(x => x.BuyerAccount);
        Map(x => x.MasterAccountName);
    }
}

Ensure your ClassMap is picked up in your FluentMappings.
UPDATE:
This may work instead:
public class PurchaseMap : ClassMap<Purchase>
{
    public PurchaseMap()
    {
        Table("Purchases");
        Id(x => x.Id);
        Map(x => x.Name);
        Map(x => x.MasterAccount);
        Map(x => x.BuyerAccount);
        Map(x => x.MasterAccountName).ReadOnly()
            .Formula("(SELECT TOP 1 MasterAccounts.Name FROM MasterAccounts WHERE MasterAccounts.MasterAccountNumber = [MasterAccount] AND MasterAccounts.MasterAccountNumber = [BuyerAccount])");

    }
}

Thanks to Darren Kopp for the pointer to the Formula option.

A: This is kind of an unusual question and there may very well be other options, but here's my couple of ideas.

*

*Use a formula. The property wouldn't be updateable but in your situation i think that's fine (mark property as read only).

*I think you will have to do a hbm.xml file for this, but you can use your own query for the loader query in nhibernate.

*Figure out what Subselect on the JoinPart does in fluent nhibernate? Doubt this will work but worth a try


"Silent Night": a song that connects people and one that has rung out around the world as a message of peace for 200 years – transcending national borders, language barriers and religions. In 2011 "Silent Night" was listed as an UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The fact that Joseph Mohr, the author of "Silent Night" wrote the lyrics in German is symbolic that this carol has always played an integral role in overcoming barriers. This was unusual in the early nineteenth century, when religious texts were generally composed in Latin – a language understood only by the educated classes. Joseph Mohr, a down-to-earth man, had a particular concern for the poor and needy and felt inspired to create a sense of community and mutual understanding. The German text – which could easily be understood by everyone – was undoubtedly an audible manifestation of this. His own profound Christian faith also flowed into his lyrics. The touching melody by Franz Xaver Gruber, a teacher from Arnsdorf, completed the composition, which was to become a symbol for peace and humaneness.
Christmas 1914 on the Western Front: Only five months after the outbreak of the First World War, more than a million soldiers had already fallen or been wounded. But then an extraordinary pacifist miracle of fraternisation took place among thousands of soldiers of different nationalities.
On Christmas Eve, a hush fell over the trenches. On both sides of the some 50-kilometre-long front in Flanders, the combatants laid down their weapons and helmets and sang Christmas carols of their native countries. "Silent Night" was one of them – sung in various mother tongues. An act of solidarity and a sign of peace in the midst of war.
The economist and philosopher Leopold Kohr, who was born in Oberndorf and emigrated to the US in 1938, was the author of many anti-war publications during the Second World War. With the help of "Silent Night", Kohr initiated a number of campaigns eliciting support for his native country. For years, every Christmas season he published dozens of newspaper articles in which he used "Silent Night" as a political song against Nazi Germany and for the liberation of Austria.

Chaos - Chaotic Pendulum Experiment


Education and Advocacy Dr. Michael Dennis, President of the Canadian Association of Optometrists, explains why eye exams are critical for preventing or treating vision loss.
For many, vision loss is a highly feared disability. The good news is that it can be treated or prevented in 75% of cases with early detection and treatment. Mediaplanet connected with Dr. Michael Dennis, President of the Canadian Association of Optometrists, who shares his insights into why regular, comprehensive eye exams are critical for all Canadians.
Mediaplanet (MP): What is the biggest misconception Canadians have when it comes to vision health?
Dr. Michael Dennis (MD): The idea that having 20/20 vision is equal to having good vision health. Canadians need to be much more aware of their eye health and vision care, which begins with a visit to an optometrist for a comprehensive eye exam (CEE). A CEE looks at the entire eye and visual system and can detect eye diseases and disorders as well as other systemic health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure.
MP: How important is it for those who are already blind or have low vision to continue to visit an eye care professional?
MD: Patients living with low vision want to retain whatever level of vision they have. An optometrist works with low-vision patients to develop a treatment plan that reflects where they are on the vision continuum. If a patient's vision loss is beyond treatment, an optometrist will recommend vision rehabilitation, referring them to Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada for more appropriate assistance.
MP: Why are optometrists an important part of an eye care team?
MD: As primary eye care specialists, optometrists are the first eye health professionals that patients see who are uniquely well-positioned to deliver cost-effective early detection, prevention, and treatment of eye diseases and disorders. There are approximately 6,000 optometrists across Canada, located in almost every community and available for timely consultations.

Are Open Data businesses viable?
February 25, 2017 Liveblog, ODCamp4business models, businesses, live capture, odcamp4, open data businesses, open data ecosystem, opendataAdam Tinworth
Is just repackaging and selling open data viable? Or should businesses be more sophisticated, aggregating and adding valuable insights to the data?
Some data sets are switching from OGL to restricted licences – like the ratings list. That has stopped some uncomfortable commercial uses – but killed some academic uses as well. The OS polygon data has been problematic because the co-ordinates can't be republished. That's been tightened up in a way that makes them completely useful commercially, because of wording that encapsulates all "benefitting" from the data.
We're still missing some open data infrastructure and tools – including tools for non-technical users. There's no real funding for that, so it's being done in people's spare time right now. There is a difference between open and shared data, largely that open data licences don't create a contractual relationships. Now, in theory the open data user could create a separate contract with the provider – but there's little evidence of that happening. Is there an argument for open data plus – a paid commitment to continue providing open data?
The Supplier Relationship
Traditional businesses manage supplier relationships – why shouldn't open data businesses? The information that have could benefit the supplier. There's benefits for both. The data publishers often don't know who is using their data – and how.
One American provider makes the data available for free – but changes for bandwidth, which allows for heavy users cost management.
Competition is an issue. You build a product on open data, and your competitors can copy it quickly -0 there's no play as access to the data is negotiated. The answer? Built value added services or insights into your product, which is harder to replicate. It comes down to innovation.
There are many challenges around continuity of supply. Crowd-sourcing is no guarantee that there won't be a single point of failure that leads to a break in supply. Sometimes government bodies withdraw data products.
We need to push for commitments to maintenance when people publish data. The ODI certificates scheme was designed to aid in this.
There has been some friction between the public and private sectors. The public sector is still uncomfortable with people making money off "their" data – even though it is owned by the public. And some public bodies are still trying to sell access to our data.
Engagement is more than just making the data available – it's a conversation and an ongoing process. One way of addressing changes to, say, licence or location, is to stick it in the metadata.
SWOT analysis of the open data ecosystem
The strength of an open data business is that it has access to a free, rich source of data they'd have had to pay for previous.
Technology companies can concentrate on the technology, not the business of lawyers and contracts.
It's specialised – some people are scared of data, so you're unlocking something the general public can't otherwise access. * There's a great community around open data, which can help you solve problems.
It's global – or, at least, European.
It makes people think about how data links together.
You can get the providers to tell you what went into creating the data. Private providers are much more cagey about that.
Capricious changes of license or availability.
Data not being updated.
It can't be a unique selling point.
It collects private businesses to collect their own, hidden data as a competitive advantage.
The data hygiene part can be time consuming.
Open data businesses aren't making their code open source – because it's their advantage.
It changes the dynamic of first mover advantage – you end up just advertising to others how it can be done, and they can copy you.
If you work in the open, and you make a mistake, there can be reputation issue.
There's lots of competition: NGOs, research organisation, who have different funding models.
There's a huge dependency chain with a single point of failure: the data.
You can't demand changes from your supplier.
You have to work harder with the data – so it builds your understanding, as you seek your angle and value add.
Open data quality is so messy, and there are so many sources, being able to find it is an competitive advantage.
There's endless duplication of effort as people download and clean it. Can we reward people for sharing better versions of the data?
Could open data businesses start generating data as well as consuming it?
Could you turn data into a public utility?
Can you use open data to drive innovation?
As funding declines in government are their partnership opportunities in delivering the data?
You can expand quickly – start with a specific product, test that, and then expand by adding data sets.
Free brain power – you're crowd-sourcing brainpower
Data is not subject to the tragedy of the commons. It's a change of culture in running your business – because the data gets more valuable as it's used. It's the network effect.
Leveraging the enthusiastic community.
The perennial threat of privatisation of government services. We lost a bunch of data when British Waterways was privatised.
A change in political attitudes to open data.
Brexit – and data sets collected for Europe.
Misattribution of flow.
The funding crisis leading to pull back of open data initiates in local government.
Some local authorities lack the skills tp publish open data.
The time it takes to build a body of advocacy for open data – and people's patience for a proved case.
← Open Data: the basics for newbies	Open data ecosystems →
1 thought on "Are Open Data businesses viable?"
Owen Boswarva says:
This is a good account of a lively discussion, and I appreciate the difficulty of producing notes for immediate publication. Following are a couple of clarifications:
The gist of the bit about OS polygon data was that it's now completely *useless* (rather than useful) commercially; unless the re-user wants to stump up £ of course.
For reference the recently revised OS terms are here:
https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/about/governance/policies/inspire-index-polygons-licensing-terms.html
Open data licences *do* create a contractual relationship; all licences are technically contracts, even highly permissive ones. The issue is that open data licences don't contractually oblige the publisher to continue to provide or support the data.

Gunn was speaking to ET in an interview about all things Guardians — from the upcoming Christmas special to next year's third feature film — when he addressed whether or not Guardians 3 will be his last ever Marvel movie.
"At least for the time being," Gunn said "I mean, never say never. Who knows? But for the time being, yeah."

It was announced in October that Gunn would take over the Worlds of DC movies and TV shows slate alongside The Suicide Squad producer Peter Safran.
The duo would take on the roles of co-chairpeople and co-CEOS of DC Studios, which is replacing DC Films at Warner Bros. They replace DC Films head Walter Hamada.
Gunn officially started the role in November and went on to tease an "8-to-10-year plan" for DC Studios that would span movies, TV, and animation for multiple DC Comics characters.

DC has been all over the place as of late with the halting of several TV shows and the cancellation of Batgirl. However, Gunn has assured fans that some projects are safe, like Peacemaker season two.
Gunn's Marvel equivalent Kevin Feige recently responded to his director's new role, saying that he speaks to Gunn every day about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which comes out in May.
"How he'll have any time to work on DC until May I don't know, but once he does have the time I'll be very excited. I'll be first in line," Feige said.

Feige isn't the only one reacting to the news. Superman actor Henry Cavill, who recently returned to the role, said he can't wait to work with Gunn.
"He's clearly a very, very talented man, and I cannot wait to sit down and have long, long conversations with him," Cavill said.
While Gunn has a big DC future, his main focus until May will be his two Guardians of the Galaxy projects at Marvel, which begins with the holiday special that comes out on November 25 on Disney+.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 and Vol 2 are available now. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is coming to Disney+ later this year, and then Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 arrives on May 5, 2023.
