![]() Right now, instead of the trillions of operations that might be needed to run a full-fledged quantum algorithm, we can typically only perform dozens before noise causes a fatal error. The greater the influence of noise, the shorter the algorithm that can be run before it suffers an error and outputs an incorrect or even useless result. Noise causes the information in the qubits to become randomized - and this leads to errors in our algorithm. Now consider a quantum algorithm, executing many operations across a large number of qubits. By contrast, typical quantum bits become randomized in about one one-thousandth of a second. A typical transistor in a microprocessor can run for about a billion years at a billion operations per second, without ever suffering a hardware fault due to any form of interference. This is known as decoherence.Ĭompared with standard computers, quantum computers are extremely susceptible to noise. When qubits in a quantum computer are exposed to this kind of noise, the information in them gets degraded just the way sound quality is degraded by interference on a call. Just like a mobile phone call can suffer interference leading it to break up, a quantum computer is susceptible to interference from all sorts of sources, like electromagnetic signals coming from WiFi or disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic field. ![]() “Noise” describes all of the things that cause interference in a quantum computer. Here we’ll get to the heart of why quantum computing is really hard: noise and error. Building a universal quantum computer with millions of entangled, coherent quantum bits running complex algorithms is not going to be simple or straightforward. The journey to realizing functional quantum computers will be long and it's a path that Q-CTRL is committed to making as easy as possible for you. ![]() Noise in quantum computing Click to watch ep4.

![]() The splice wire ends are then trimmed as needed, and the splice may then be soldered, and/or covered (e.g., with a heat-shrunk tube of insulation). NASA recommend "tight, with no gaps between adjacent turns." The wires are then again held with pliers, but on the first-made twist, to the right of the crossing point, and then the left splice is formed by winding the remaining wire tip toward the worker for a comparable 5-6 snug twists. The wires are then held with pliers to the left of their crossing point while the right splice is formed by continuing to wind the wire tip away from the worker, creating 5-6 twists snug against the core wire and against each preceding twist. The short tie splice has it being formed after stripping the insulation from a pair of wires for several inches, each, crossing the wires left over right as shown in figure part A then, a hooked cross (figure part B) is formed holding the crossing point of the two wires, and pulling the right wire tip toward and pushing the left wire tip away from the worker, leaving the tips oriented vertically as shown. The 1915 textbook Practical electric wiring describes the construction of the Western Union splice short tie and long tie. ![]() NASA included the splice in its technical standard Workmanship Standard For Crimping, Interconnecting Cables, Harnesses, And Wiring, first produced in 1998. Based on this study Lineman Splicing can be a reliable, secure means of splicing wires together.In 1915, Practical electric wiring described it as being, "by far the most widely used splice" in practical electrical wiring work. The tensile testing showed that the solder connection at the splice was as strong or stronger than the un- spliced wires and there is no reliability issue associated with this type of splice. In every splice sample the wire break was outside the splice area. In no case was there any failure of the wires at the splice connection. It is thought that the reason the spliced wire did not meet the tensile strength of the un-splice wires is due to the slight offset of the wires at the splice causing an uneven stress where the wires were being held in the pull test fixture. In every sample the wire broke outside the splice area usually close to the point where the wire was secured to the pull tester.Īs one can see the tensile strength of the spliced wire is very close to the tensile strength of the un-spliced wires. (See summary below) � There were no failures at the splice area where the solder connection was made. � The average tensile strength of the wire before breakage was 17.7 lbs for the Linman splice using 22 AWG, and 58.9 lbs for the Lineman splice using 16 AWG. � The average tensile strength of the 22AWG wire un-spliced was 20.7 lbs and the average tensile strength of the 16 AWG wire un-spliced was 62.6 lbs. The same testing was also performed on 5 samples of Lineman Splices with 16 AWG wire compared to the tensile strength of an unspliced 16 AWG wire. In order to determine the reliability of the Lineman Spliced connections pull testing was performed on 5 samples of Lineman Splices with 22 AWG wire compared to the tensile strength of an unspliced piece of 22 AWG wire. Testing to determine Lineman Splice 22 AWG wire pre-solder condition compared to Lineman Splice 22 AWG wire post-solder condition ![]() ![]() The termination shall not be located in a flexure zone and shall be provided acceptable stress relief. The completed solder termination and any exposed metallization shall be over-sleeved with transparent / translucent heat shrink tubing.Į. The wraps shall not overlap, and the ends of the wrap shall be trimmed flush prior to soldering to prevent protruding ends.ĭ. The wraps shall be tight, with no gaps between adjacent turns. The conductors shall exhibit proper insulation spacing.Ĭ. The conductor ends shall be parallel to, and in contact with, each other.ī. The termination shall comply with all the requirements of NASA-STD-8739.3 for a solder termination, including the following: a. This type of splice is more suited to solid, rather than stranded conductors, and is fairly difficult to complete. The wrapping pattern is designed to cause the termination to tighten as the conductors pull against each other. The Western Union or Lineman splice was developed during the introduction of the telegraph to mechanically terminate aerial conductors that were subject to loading stress. ![]() These popular features make their return in Torchlight II in improved form.

The result of their study stated that, “while Martial Law may accelerate development, in the end the Philippines would become a political archipelago, with debilitating, factionalized politics.” Almonte recalled that their findings led to the conclusion that “the nation would be destroyed because, apart from the divisiveness it would cause, Martial Law would offer Marcos absolute power which would corrupt absolutely.” īy the end of January 1970, Enrile, with the help of Efren Plana and Minerva Gonzaga Reyes, submitted the only copy of the confidential report on the legal nature and extent of Martial Law to Marcos. Marcos also wanted to know the consequences of declaring Martial Law. Marcos made this instruction as he “ an escalation of violence and disorder in the country and to know the extent of his powers as commander-in-chief.” The President also stressed that “the study must be done discreetly and confidentially.” Īt about the same time, Marcos also instructed Executive Secretary Alejandro Melchor and Jose Almonte to study how Martial Law was implemented in different parts of the world. In his memoir, then Justice Secretary Juan Ponce Enrile recalled that on a late afternoon in December 1969, Marcos instructed him to study the powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief under the provisions of the 1935 Constitution. The same thing is true with the declaration of martial law It is a useful mental exercise to meet a problem before it happens. One of my favorite mental exercises, which others may find useful, is to foresee possible problems one may have to face in the future and to determine what solutions can possibly be made to meet these problems.įor instance, if I were suddenly asked, to pose a given situation, to decide in five minutes when and where to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, I have decided that there should be at least five questions that I would ask, and depending on the answers to these five questions, I would know when and where to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. This was indeed the culmination of a long period of preparation: As early as May 17, 1969, Marcos hinted the declaration of Martial Law, when he addressed the Philippine Military Academy Alumni Association: Embassy in Manila knew as early as Septemabout Marcos’ plan. ![]() ![]() In his own diary, Marcos wrote on Septemthat he informed the military that he would proceed with proclaiming Martial Law. Marcos was going to use a series of bombings in Metro Manila, including the 1971 Plaza Miranda bombing, as a justification for his takeover and subsequent authoritarian rule. Aquino Jr., during a Septemprivilege speech, exposed what was known as “Oplan Sagittarius.” The Senator said he had received a top-secret military plan given by Marcos himself to place Metro Manila and outlying areas under the control of the Philippine Constabulary as a prelude to Martial Law. A week before the actual declaration of Martial Law, a number of people had already received information that Marcos had drawn up a plan to completely take over the government and gain absolute rule. The culmination of a long period of preparation The propaganda effort was so successful that up to the present, many Filipinos-particularly those who did not live through the events of September 23, 1972-labor under the misapprehension that martial law was proclaimed on September 21, 1972. 1973 to memorialize the date as the foundation day of his New Society. Throughout the Martial Law period, Marcos built up the cult of September 21, proclaiming it as National Thanksgiving Day by virtue of Proclamation No. Some sources say that Marcos signed the proclamation on September 17 or on September 22-but, in either case, the document itself was dated September 21. 1081 on September 21, 1972, placing the Philippines under Martial Law. The Daily Express was the only newspaper allowed to circulate upon the declaration of Martial Law ![]() The anniversary of the declaration of martial law is on September 23 (not September 21) “FM Declares Martial Law”-the headline of the Septemissue of the Sunday Express, which was the Sunday edition of Philippines Daily Express.

![]() I was going over some early cubase files to remix and ran into the kontakt 4 to 5 issue. apple sent a tech out to investigate and replaced it with the newly released mac pro. I had a new G5 mac once that caught on fire the third year i had it. I have never regretted paying that much for a mac because they can be used for a long time, though if i pay for that much for an upgrade, i would like to have a significant performance improvement. apple made the silver huge mac pros too well and if you had one, there was not a lot of reason to upgrade to the trashcan unless you needed thunderbolt.Įven the trash can macs are upgradable with new processors. they said they were going to update the mac pro, but i think the imac pro will be it. and the thing is, the new mac often only offer a 10 to 20% increase in performance which with audio and cores, one may not even see., apple is supposed to release an imac pro soon. I am not sure what the term is for the hacked macs, but many have taken the 2006 - 2012 mac pros and put 12 cores in them, changed vid cards, and installed some system hacks and firmware mods to get it all to work. ![]() Whoever spends 5k on a computer probably has enough money to buy another after 5 years though, the trashcan is not exactly the average-Joe computer. Then again I am a tinkerer and I'm not really scared of messing around with stuff, I understand for less technologically inclined people this might be scary. I would just patch the OS installer and install it, no big deal. Old Mac Pros with upgrades are still real Macs, they still run on with the official motherboard and require no custom bootloader, changing the CPU definitely doesn't make it a Hackintosh because only compatible ones can be used.Īpple usually drops support with the excuse that the hardware is not powerful enough for the latest OS and the Trashcan Mac is still a beast of a machine to this day, if they do that then the few people who bought it (it was one of Apple's biggest flops) will be pissed. (I am an avid Hackintosh user for a few years now) these are very expensive computer upgrades.Ĭlick to expand.What? Either I misunderstood what you said or you're mistaken about what's a Hackintosh. ![]() when, not if, apple drops support for 2011 and earlier macs late next year, it will be an issue. the same is true of all NI products when they change the version.Īlso, on the mac side, there are some who have hackingtosh macs that they took early mac pros and put 12 cores in them, after 10.11 is dropped from support, they would not be able to use the latest version. now there is a reason why you have to keep earlier versions, for example if you used kontakt 4 in your cubase project, it will not open that in kontakt 5, you will need to have kontakt 4 still installed and save it as a kontakt file and then open that in 5 in a new or updated track. in this case, 5.66 is the last version you can add libraries and i have legacy eastwest NI products that require that that may not be able to use native access, so i have to keep the standalone version of 5.66 archived, though this may be fixed now with native access. I usually have the latest version of kontakt installed since i use in mainly in vst form and you can always keep the previous version if you need it later. ![]() It was in 2011 that the issue moved from being one of football choreography to international politics. Before England’s famous friendly win against Argentina in Geneva in 2005, the pre-game press conference was interrupted by Eriksson and David Beckham standing in solemn silence at 11am. The mid-November international break always means that England play around the time of Remembrance Sunday. Not just because they are symbolically the team of the whole country, but because of the simple fact of the calendar. ![]() When he did, some observers were bemused that a manager from Sweden should feel the need to.īut within five years, the routines of Remembrance had become an established practice for the England team. When Sven-Goran Eriksson was unveiled as England manager in November 2000, giving a press conference in Sopwell House in Hertfordshire, FA officials insisted that Eriksson should wear one. The rise of the poppy as a symbol in English football was one of the background stories of the first decade of this century. It certainly provokes more complex emotional responses than just gratitude and respect. On this view, it has been pushed on football by a newspaper campaign, has been the subject of unseemly competition between clubs, each one trying to do outdo the others, and has been used as a test of character or loyalty, deployed against anyone who does not go along with it. To the Royal British Legion, who run the poppy appeal, it is a crucial fundraising opportunity for the armed services community, helping them raise money for veterans and their families.īut for others, the poppy has become something else: a political tool. It is a mark of gratitude and respect towards the armed forces, a thread that runs through British history from World War I all the way through to 21st-century conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The poppy has grown in significance: more visible, more powerful, more ubiquitous, year after year after year.įor many players and fans, the poppy is a solemn sign of remembrance to those who have died defending their country. In recent years, English’s football marking of the Remembrance period has become one of the most recognisable spells of the whole calendar, spanning two weekends, involving every club in the country and usually the national team as well. Everything in football has changed in 2020 and the weekend of Remembrance Sunday is no different. At most grounds there will only be one lone bugler playing the Last Post, two wreaths brought onto the pitch by the teams’ captains, but that is it. ![]() There will be no parades of soldiers at Premier League games this weekend, no collection tins for the British Legion, no fans to hold up mosaics of poppies in the stands. Closing Īfter rumors circulated that the theater would close, on August 30, 2006, Carolyn Farb announced that she would make an effort to preserve the theatre. The River Oaks Theatre carried on the tradition of showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight, on the second Saturday of every month, complete with the "Royal Mystic Order of Chaos" shadow cast. On April 19, 2007, the globally popular internet show, Pure Pwnage, screened its newest episode at the River Oaks Theatre, before the internet release.November 6, 2006, was officially proclaimed "River Oaks Theatre Day" by Mayor Bill White.Listed as one of the "20 Cool Things About Houston" (2006) by the Houston Chronicle.Declared "Best Movie Theatre" (2003) by the Houston Press.Declared "Best Movie Theatre" (2001) by Inside Houston.Presented an award for the "Preservation of a Landmark Facility as a Unique and Special Venue for Art, Vintage and Independently Produced Films" (2001) by the Museum District Alliance.On March 26, 2000, it was officially proclaimed "River Oaks Theatre Day" by Mayor Lee P.The theater received the following awards: In December 2018, Landmark was acquired by Cohen Media Group, changing the theater's ownership. ![]() The theater was in the River Oaks Shopping Center, on the eastern edge of the prestigious River Oaks subdivision. In December 1996 premiere of the film The Evening Star was held here. Octothe theatre showed its final movie on 35mm film, The Master, before being upgraded to 100% digital projection. On May 15, 1986, the renovated theater re-opened. New paint in gray and blue was applied to the interior. The theater owners installed a café in the upstairs area and elevators. The balcony screens received an ultrastereo sound system, while Dolby was used for the downstairs screens. The 1939-era carbon-arc projectors were replaced with platter-system projectors. ![]() The owners changed the balcony into two 125-seat each mini-theaters. The seating capacity was changed to 546 seats. They removed a group of seats from the downstairs auditorium so a projector could be installed. In the mid-1980s the theater owners spent $400,000 on renovation. The theater's focus went back to first run films by the mid-1980s due to an increase in video VHS releases and cable. After the release of the 1985 film Hail Mary there were protests from church groups. ĭuring a January 1983 screening of Fire on the Water there was a dueling protest between Ku Klux Klan and anti-Klan groups. ![]() The authorities charged him with promoting obscene material but a jury acquitted the manager in an April 1983 trial. Vice squad officers waited for the screening to conclude and arrested the manager in a raid. On September 9, 1982, there was a screening of Salo at the theater this was the third showing in a three-year period. Since 1976, the theater was operated by Landmark Theatres and generally showed foreign language and independent films, as well as other " art-house" movies. later merged with Landmark Theatre Company. The theater's focus changed from first-run films to alternative films such as re-released films, and classic, foreign, cult, and old films. took control of the River Oaks Theatre in 1977. ![]() In late 1975 the chain Trans-Continental took control from Interstate. In February 1947 Interstate Theaters acquired the River Oaks Theatre. It was the last of the deluxe neighborhood movie theaters built by Interstate Theatre Corporation. It was an example of late-1930s Art Deco design. The River Oaks Theatre was built in 1939. |
