Quantum Threshold Theorem
In quantum computing, the Threshold Theorem (also called the Quantum Fault-Tolerance Theorem) states that a quantum computer with noise can quickly and accurately simulate an ideal quantum computer, provided the level of noise is below a certain threshold. Practically, the Threshold Theorem implies that the error in quantum computers can be controlled as the number of qbits scales up.

Hotel El Portal de 1610
Hotel El Portal de 1610 is a one star category hotel in León, Nicaragua, in Central America. It's located in the historical center of the city, in front of the house where the world-renowned poet Rubén Darío grew up, which presently is a museum in his remembrance.

Colonial Epoch
The city of León was founded in 1610, which originally consisted of eight avenues to the north and south, west and east around the Central Park and the Cathedral of the Assumption. At the time of the city's founding, most houses were very large, taking up to a half a block in extension, and were built in a spanish colonial tradition. With the passing of time and the increase of the population, the once extensive houses were gradually divided into smaller ones to lodge new families.

The location over which the Hotel El Portal de 1610 lies, is where centuries ago, before its division, laid the house of the former Royal Treasurer of the Spanish Crown, Don Antonio de Betancourt. This fact has given motive to the popular belief, that there must have been (or must be) a hidden treasure buried in the soil.

Twentieth Century
The property in question is located on a south-west corner, exactly four blocks west from the Cathedral of the Assumption, and on the Calle Real (meaning Royal Street), which is one of the most important arteries of the city's traffic. After suffering many divisions throughout the years, the remaining corner was purchased by a young married couple in the late 1940's, until then the house still conserved its original colonial features. In 1964, the old house was demolished, new foundations were installed and the construction of a new and modern two story house began. The new house remained the home of this family for forty years until the commence of the remodeling for the future hotel half passed 2007.

The hotel as such, was inaugurated and opened on December 15, 2007.

Architecture
The small two story hotel building is identical to that of its predecesor the domestic house, except for minor changes.

The sinking of M/V Princess of the stars News
The sinking of M/V princess of the stars on June 21, 2008 was noted as one of the worst maritime disasters occurred in the seas of the Philippines. The ship carried the chemical named endosulfan, which was owned by Del Monte Phils.. The rumored chemical had been discussed by the M/V princess of the stars team on what will they do to the ship. They camed up with the idea that they will refloat the ship to get the other chemicals including the endosulfan that is inside the capsized ship. The estimated time to refloat the ship is 3 months, quoted by Ms. Maria Elena Bautista, the head of the team M/V POTS. The results will be waited until the month of October. But for now, Sulpicio lines is now giving the Compensation money for the families of the passengers of the capsized ship. And also, Sulpicio Lines is also encountering another case, involving the winning families of the sinking of the M/V Princess of the orient, in the year 1998. But now, the speculations still circulate that the Philippine government will take over the Sulpicio lines because of its records of deaths in its sank ships.

Wat Pah Nanachat (Thai: วัดป่านานาชาติ, in English: "International Forest Monastery" or "Monastery of Many Countries") is a Theravada forest monastery in Issan, the northeastern region of Thailand. It sits in the district of (Amphoe) Warin Chamrap, Ubon Ratchathani Provence, Tambon Bung Wai.

Wat Nanachat has gained a worldwide reputation as one of the few monasteries for Bhikkus in the Theravada tradition where the primary language is English. The monastery was founded in the year 1975 on the initiative of the Venerable Ajahn Chah due to increasing international interest (especially from the United Kingdom) in the life style of Forest monastics in the Theravada tradition.

The first abbot of Wat Pah Nanachat was Ajahn Sumedho, an American Bhikkhu who trained for some time under Ajahn Chah at Wat Pah Pong - the root monastery of Wat Pah Nanachat.

Today, students of the Thai Forest monastic discipline live in newly founded branch monasteries and monastic communities around the world, under the loosely organized collective title of the Forest Sangha. The largest branch monastery in this western community of Bhikkus is Amaravati Monastery in the U.K., whose abbot is currently the Venerable Ajahn Sumedho. It is located about 50 miles north of London.

Citizens United to Protect the Maurice River and Its Tributaries, Inc.
Citizens United to Protect the Maurice River and Its Tributaries, Inc., is a 501c3 regional watershed organization. “CU,” as they often refer to themselves, was founded in 1979 and incorporated in 1986. Their mission reads:

Citizens United is dedicated to protecting the watershed of the Maurice River and the region known as Down Jersey, thereby enabling current and future generations to enjoy the environmental, recreational, cultural, and scenic resources of this Wild & Scenic global treasure.

CU empowers individuals, organizations, and neighboring communities to promote the region’s enduring well-being and quality of life. CU invites participation and fosters responsible stewardship. CU supports education, awareness, and informed decision-making utilizing field work, research, and advocacy.

CU was honored by the EPA in 1994 and again in 2000 with Environmental Quality Awards, EPA’s top honor.  Each time, they were credited with spearheading the Wild and Scenic protection effort. In the year 2000 CU was further acknowledged for the work on an osprey colony, their annual raptor and waterfowl survey, the film “Down Jersey” and accompanying teachers’ guide, and the North American Wetlands Conservation Act.

In 2002 Citizens United to Protect the Maurice River and Its Tributaries, Inc. took first place in the category of Education and Learning Institute, NJ Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Watershed Management for their PBS Film Down Jersey and the teachers’ curriculum; Down Jersey: Celebrating Our Sense of Place. Over 500 teachers have taken workshops about the curriculum.

CU’S WORK
CU’s work in the Maurice River watershed typically begins at Willow Grove Lake and continues south; the South Jersey Land and Water Trust begins its work in the vicinity of Willow Grove Lake and extends northward to the headwaters of Scotland Run.

The Maurice River watershed has a drainage of 386 square miles and runs south through Cumberland County, New Jersey to the Delaware Bay. The major tributaries of the Maurice River include Scotland Run, Menantico Creek, Muskee Creek, Muddy Run, and the Manumuskin River. 

On December 1, 1993, President Clinton signed a congressional act designating 10.3 miles (16.6km) of the Maurice River, 7.9 miles (12.2km) of the Menantico Creek, 14.3 miles (23.0km) of the Manumuskin River, and 2.7 miles (4.3km) of the Muskee Creek as Wild and Scenic. CU spearheaded much of the effort for this accomplishment.

The Delaware Bay estuary is a Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance listed site. It has also been named by The Nature Conservancy as one of the “Last Great Places on Earth.”

CU has chosen to work in the Maurice River watershed because of its ecological significance, cultural history, economic importance and recreational opportunities. 

Ecological Significance
The Maurice River watershed includes a variety of habitat supporting rare wildlife and plant populations. Its vast wetland and forest complexes host wintering waterfowl and spring migratory shorebirds. A 1992 report by the National Wild and Scenic River Study states that “[t]he study area functions as critical migration-related habitat for shorebirds, songbirds, waterfowl, raptors, rails and fish. The Maurice River and its tributaries drain the Southwest portion of the Pinelands National Reserve, which is also an International Biosphere Reserve under the United Nations Man and Biosphere Program.”

Cultural History
The Native Americans called the Maurice River “Wahatquenack”. The river’s current name is thought to be derived from the Prince Maurice, a 17th century Dutch ship reputed to have sunk in its waters.

The river’s maritime history is intertwined with the oyster harvest, commercial fishing, and shipbuilding. The AJ Meerwald, a 1928 oyster schooner that operated on the Maurice and in the Delaware Bay, dubbed “NJ’s Tall Ship” by former Governor Christie Whitman, is being restored by the Bayshore Discovery Project to provide educational experiences for the public.

Economic Importance and Recreational Opportunities
The Maurice River supports such industries as commercial crabbing, eeling, net fishing, and oystering. Pleasure boating, kayaking, canoeing, birding, hiking, fishing, hunting and railbirding are several of the recreational activities pursued on the river. President Benjamin Harrison hunted on the Maurice River during his presidential term. 

CU’s Approach
CU’s approach encompasses education, fieldwork, research, and advocacy.

Education
CU created an EPA award-winning curriculum called “Down Jersey”. They also partnered with New Jersey Network Public Television in 1997 to create a documentary by the same name in conjunction with this curriculum. Additionally, CU and NJN partnered on two other documentaries: “Bayshore Artists: Celebrating Our Sense of Place,” in 2001, and “Glenn Rudderow: Reflections of a Bayshore Painter,” in 2005. CU and NJN received a Mid-Atlantic Emmy award for Outstanding Arts Program or Special. The documentary aired nationally in 2006.

CU has also created various educational slideshows such as “Eggs to Flight” which follows the maturation of osprey from eggs to fight, and “Fish and Chicks” which traces the decline and subsequent restoration efforts involving the osprey on the Maurice River.

Additionally, CU has created a botanical site that focuses on the flora of southern New Jersey and the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.

CU has also researched the local history, with documentation of the various reaches of the Maurice River as well securing source material on the Burcham Farm, the last remaining diked farm in southern New Jersey. 

Other aspects of CU’s educational approach include participation in various community festivals such as the Cumberland County Winter Eagle Festival and Bay Days; “Raptor Discovery Days,” which involve programming for approximately 600 school children preceding the Eagle Festival; and various activities and events for the education of the public including bimonthly meetings with speakers, presentations for local groups, and activities such as birding, kayaking, and hiking.

The group also provides a scholarship for aspiring art students. The Connie Jost Scholarship was created in 1998 in memory of Connie Jost, a well-known local artist, painter, sculptor, and educator who frequently incorporated fish and marine animals into her works. 

Fieldwork
CU has focused on several concerns with regards to fieldwork: the osprey colony project, purple martin banding, wood ducks, Adopt-a-Swamp pink population, eagle nest monitoring, and international shorebird team assistance.

Osprey Colony Project: The osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is a bird of prey (raptor) which feeds almost exclusively on fish. Seen in the coastal estuaries of many countries, the osprey is present on every continent with the exception of Antarctica. With its white head and black eye stripe it is a striking bird. Its wing span is four and half to six feet and it is highly streamlined, making it a masterful and maneuverable flier. Its talons are extremely sharp, which helps in piercing through the scales of a fish. Osprey generally mate for life but they will choose a new partner if a mate perishes. They normally lay three eggs; four is rare. On average they raise 2.5 young each season. Under the management of the New Jersey State Division of Fish and Wildlife, the NJ Endangered and Nongame Species Program monitors osprey populations statewide. Historically there were 500 nesting pair of osprey in NJ. In the 1950’s and 1960’s the use of DDT reduced their numbers to a mere 50 nesting pair. They were not productive, so chicks were brought in from nests in regions that had not been exposed to these chemical contaminants and the young were fostered by NJ’s remaining birds. The fledglings imprinted to the area and returned as adults to build their own nests along New Jersey’s rivers and bays. Citizens from around the state of NJ volunteered to help restore populations by providing nesting platforms for this threatened species. In the mid 1980’s Citizens United to Protect the Maurice River and Its Tributaries, Inc. (Citizens United or CU) began an osprey colony. In 2007 the State passed the milestone of 400 nesting pair. Citizens United’s volunteers monitor approximately 50 nesting platforms and they have constructed and erected more than 50 platforms for other organizations and corporations, including the NJ Endangered and Nongame Species Program, NJ Department of Protection Bureau of Emergency Response, Community Energy, PSE&G and The Natural Lands Trust. Their efforts have been responsible for providing structures for more than a quarter of the state’s osprey population (and at one point, a third of the existing structures).

CU volunteers maintain the 50+ platforms along the Maurice River. Each June and July they band the offspring in these structures. Between 1985 and 2007 over 150 people have helped in this effort, and the number is still growing. When the program was begun in 1985 there were only an average of three chicks fledged each year. Since 2006, nesting pairs have produced in excess of 60 chicks. This program is a testament to how people’s efforts can help restore natural resources. The platform design developed by Citizens United has become the official design of the state. People from all over the globe access the Citizens United website for the platform plans and materials list. 

Purple Martin Banding: Purple martins (Progne subis) are the largest of the North American swallows and, in the eastern U.S., are entirely dependent upon man for their housing. In conjunction with CU, members and other individuals band the birds for research purposes. In 2007, CU member Allen Jackson and those working with him banded over 6000 purple martins. CU also donates funds to purchase the bands. The team’s goal is to band 8000 in 2008.

Wood Ducks: CU has put up a number of wood duck boxes on both the Manumuskin and the Maurice, and has also taught various groups of students to build them, as well as making the plans for the boxes available online.

Adopt a Swamp Pink Population: Swamp pink (Helonias bullata) is a federally threatened member of the lily family. Seventy percent of its global population occurs in New Jersey. CU has partnered with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service on a monitoring project, “Adopt-a-Swamp-Pink Population”. The survey results are shared with U.S.F.W.S. and NJ Natural Heritage.

Assisting NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program: CU assists in two facets: a number of volunteers monitor eagles’ nests for the State; and their members also provide support to the international Shorebird Team that visits May-June of each year to study the migratory shorebird phenomenon. CU members help with the banding of shorebirds, as well as hosting the scientists during their stay by providing them with meals and local cultural activities.

World Series of Birding: CU’s team, the “Fish Hawks”, was formed in 2007 and placed second in the category of limited geographical region that year. A portion of the monies raised by the team defray the expenses of hosting the international shorebird scientists.

Research
CU has funded in part or wholly a number of studies of flora and fauna in the Maurice River watershed including an annual Raptor Waterfowl study carried out since 1988, a number of botanical surveys, and the Parvin-Tarkiln Branch Water Study.

Advocacy
Citizens United to Protect the Maurice River and Its Tributaries, Inc. has had a long history of making presentations and giving testimony for land protection efforts. The NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife credits CU as the catalyst for the Maurice River Project Area, a cooperative endeavor under the North American Wetlands Conservation Act. This project began in 1994 and has been responsible for the protection of as much as 60,000 acres of wetland and wetland buffer in the Maurice River Watershed. The project area includes one of the hemisphere’s most prominent shorebird concentration sites, as well as one of the state’s most important habitats for bald eagles, waterfowl, and several other migratory birds. In addition, the area contains the world’s largest population of the globally endangered sensitive joint vetch, the state’s largest expanse of wild rice marsh and an old growth swamp forest unique in the Eastern United States for its age and character.

CU played a key role in the dedication of the Maurice River and three of its tributaries: the Menantico, Manumuskin, and Muskee Rivers; as Wild and Scenic River by the US Congress. The organization’s members initiated many of the nominations that were submitted to the National Park Service and Congress. They also served on the Wild and Scenic Task Force that developed the summary of outstanding resource values and the ultimate management plan for the Rivers.

They have challenged the placement of structures within the wild and scenic corridor that might compromise the scenic beauty of the waterways. They have worked with cell tower companies on locating towers in less obtrusive places, especially existing tall structures.

CU has helped design various city ordinances for tree harvesting, land mining, communication towers and the like. They have also advocated various alternatives to the development of environmentally sensitive sites.

CU has worked with corporations helping them to meet project mitigation standards. They have led efforts to stop pollution of sites that were ultimately deemed US EPA Superfund Sites.

Partnerships
CU has partnered with a host of other conservation organizations over the years. Partners have included National Park Service, Natural Lands Trust, The Nature Conservancy, New Jersey Network, New Jersey Audubon Society, NJ Conservation Foundation, Bayshore Discovery Project, NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, Rutgers Environmental Law Clinic, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. CU also works with corporations on their habitat projects: Community Energy, PSE&G Estuary Enhancement Project, Morie Sand and Gravel and others.

CU is also a member of the South Jersey Bayshore Coalition.

Mad Max (band)
Mad Max is a Melodic Rock band from Münster, Germany, that consists of Michael Voss (vocals), Jürgen Breforth (guitars), Roland Bergmann (bass) and Axel Kruse (drums). Mad Max debuted in 1982 with their self-titled album and managed to gain a lot of success in Europe and Japan in the mid-80's before fading away in 1989. Michael Voss and Jürgen Breforth reunited and put out a comeback album in 1999. Six years later the whole band has reemerged again and put out three albums in 2006 and 2007.
