Women are ever divided by a miserable distrust, whereas all their weaknesses intertwined might make for their lives a crown of love and strength and beauty....How one of them strove to deliver her unhappy friend, the words which she spoke to her, the examples which she set before her, the joys which she offered her: these are what I have tried to record in this book.
ue of beeches stretches in front of our garden; and at the far end is the open country. Here we have placed a seat which looks out over space. Nothing but fields and fields, as far as the eye can reach; nothing but land and sky. We love the security of this elemental landscape, where the alternations of light succeed one another inexorably. The noontides are fierce and dazzling. The soft, opalescent mornings are fragrant with love and pleasure. But, most of all, the sunsets attract us by their unwearied variety, sometimes sober and tender, ever fainter and more ethereal, sometimes blood-red, monstrous and barbaric.
The one which I watched to-day was pale and grey; and the obedient earth humbly espoused its gentle tones. With my hands clasped in my lap, it seemed to me that I was drinking in the peace that filled my heart; and my eyes, which unconsciously fastened on my hands, held for a moment my whole life enclosed there.
Then I heard indistinctly steps approaching me. A woman sat down on the b

Heavy industrial areas off limits to new churches
New churches looking to open up in the city will have a large swath of available lands to work with — just not heavy industrial properties that tend to be more affordable for poorer, immigrant churches.

New churches looking to open up in the city will have a large swath of available lands to work with — just not heavy industrial properties that tend to be more affordable for poorer, immigrant churches.
The bylaw passed Wednesday evening, grandfathering in churches now situated in the eight per cent of land zoned for heavy industrial, but closing the door to future congregations looking at these more reasonably priced areas.
The initial bylaw raised the ire of religious groups around the city when the draft was first introduced last year and many religious groups expressed concern they'd be booted from their buildings and left without a place of worship.
However, new churches will still have access to 92 per cent of all buildable lands, said planning chair Peter Milczyn.
Most industrial area will still be accessible to new churches, he said. Heavy industrial areas are predominately located off major roads and in the middle and in the middle of employment districts, which can be a combination of both light and heavy industrial.
And there is a significant amount of industrial zones exempt from the bylaw.
"One third of all our industrial zoned land for a variety of reasons is excluded from the bylaw, so they'd be able to establish places of worship in those areas," he said.
Councillor Adam Vaughan, who voted in favour of the bylaw, attempted to amend it to allow for places of worship to rent school facilities with the hopes religious groups could be established closer to their actual communities, but was defeated.
"I just thought we could find a way to accommodate Sikh temples and mosques, I just think a little more accommodation was possible," he said.
In the last decade, the number of churches in industrial areas has nearly doubled to 414 from 216. However, it's unclear how many churches currently exist within the now-restricted heavy industrial areas.

Teaching in Taiwan
... teaching programs were concluded after Dong He and Jia Li, I was welcomed to stay with a fellow family on the program for an extra week. They had immigrated to the U.S, and had raised their children in New Jersey. However, every year they return to visit family in the capital Taibei and the metropolis of Tainan.
Walk with me please, as we travel through an adventure of learning and exploration in the Far Eastern country of Taiwan.

... we were awake anyways at 3:30 am to get ready for the sunrise tour at 4 am despite the promised wake up call did not happen. The sunrise was OK. It is reputed to be one of the must see sights in Alishan. Glad that we took the bus ride rather than hike up to a viewpoint in the dark.
We are going to take the bus to Sun Moon lake this afternoon to a 4 star hotel. Hopefully, hot water will be running.

What is the European Forum?
The European Forum of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Christian Groups is an ecumenical association of LGBT Christian Groups in Europe.
The European Forum aims to achieve equality and inclusion for LGBT people within and trough Christian churches, other religious bodies and multilateral organisations.
The European Forum works for freedom of religion, for human rights and dignity for LGBT people and for an affirmative discourse on human sexuality.
Diversity in our life stories: an advantage for our participation in the ecological transition?
Problems related to ecology raise questions with an increasing number of people. Here the stakes are shared world-wide. Within each of our countries, our leaders must take action in critical areas (to limit global warming, to protect the environment, …). But it is also reasonable to think about the paths that our own lives have taken. How can their diversity help us to commit ourselves to participation in the ecological transition?
In Memoriam: Émile Letertre
The founder of the European Forum, Émile Letertre, passed away in peace on July 5th, 2015. He was 91 years old. Émile Letertre was a Catholic priest from the French group David & Jonathan who invited groups from all over Europe to the first gathering of LGBT Christians that took place in Paris 1982. He realized how important it was that we get to know each other and support one another. The European Forum of LGBT Christian Groups grew out of this initiative.
Activities Report 2014–2015
In 2014/15, the European Forum of LGBT Christian Groups achieved many important projects and activities. An overview can be found in the Activities Report 2014-2015, that was presented at the Annual Conference 2015 in Merville, France.

I remember. It was the evening of April 29th, and I had opted out of attending a major social event to watch, of all things, C-SPAN. Honestly, it felt a little pathetic. Well, not "a little". It felt really pathetic. Little did I know that I, sitting in front of the television with my laptop resting on my tacky pajama bottoms, would soon be witnessing something remarkable.
Tony Snow is Ron Burgundy!
What was so funny about the video was that Tony Snow was playing lead flute... just like Ron Burgundy on Anchorman (Keith and I said it out loud at virtually the same time). Unfortunately, the video is not up on YouTube. Not yet, anyway.
CNN Report: FOX News anchor takes White House gig
Snow is less of a news anchor and more of a talking head and political analyst. He was a speech writer for the first President Bush in 1991, and a nationally syndicated columnist for The Detroit News and USA Today. It's also worth noting that Snow is currently battling colon cancer.
Putting this guy in the hot seat should be interesting, to say the least. He's used to pontificating in front of cameras and probably doesn't mind getting in the faces of reporters. He's bound to be more animated than McClellan, the White House robot whose only directive is to 'stay on message'.
Tony Snow -- your new White House Press Secretary?
As the White House staff shakeup continues a name has been mentioned as a replacement for outgoing Press Secretary Scott McClellan: FOX News Channel weekend anchor and political analyst Tony Snow.
Snow, who was previously a speech writer for the elder president Bush, is currently in negotiations with White House officials to take over the position. The New York Times is reporting that Snow is also waiting for a clean bill of health from his doctors (he had surgery for colon cancer in 2005) before he makes a final decision.
Snow is not the first personality to leave
politics then jump back in again. Back in the early 1970's Fred Dalton Thompson was an active lawyer during the
Watergate hearings. He then appeared in such television shows as Wiseguy, China Beach, and
Roseanne and the movies Die Hard 2 and The Hunt For Red October before returning to politics
as Senator of Tennessee from 1994 til 2003. He is currently playing Attorney General Arthur Branch on Law &

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful
A must-read for Christie fans (but beware the spoilers),
This review is from: Who Killed Roger Ackroyd?: The Murderer Who Eluded Hercule Poirot and Deceived Agatha Christie (Classic crime) (Paperback)
This is a truly brilliant book; Bayard applies a rapier intelligence to deduce whether "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" is what it seems, and whether Poirot - and even Agatha Christie herself - may have been mistaken about who committed the murder...
Bayard's meticulous analysis deals with every detail of the work, and brings in examples from across the whole of Christie's murder mystery canon to support his arguments. As I read the book, I found myself raising objections to the arguments ("But surely...") only to find that Bayard comprehensively dealt with each of my questions as it arose! Part 3, "Delusion", is quite a challenging read, as it examines the Freudian psychology of delusion and how this relates to literary criticism. However, it's thoroughly stimulating, and in Part 4 Bayard picks up the pace again to race to a superbly dramatic denoument.
A few minor criticisms. While the academic references are fully cited in the chapter notes, it would have been useful to have separate bibliography. A list of the Agatha Christie novels quoted, along with their UK titles, would have been even more useful, because the use of US titles occasionally makes it difficult for UK readers to work out which book is being referred to. In addition, Bayard (or his editor) sometimes confuses similar titles, eg confusing Ten Little Indians with Five Little Pigs, or The Mirror Crack'd with Murder with Mirrors. However, although these and other minor errors may irritate some hardline Christie buffs, they don't detract from Bayard's argument.
Overall, this book is a tour de force - a brilliant analysis with a denoument worthy of Christie herself. One word of caution: the book gives away the solution of just about every single Christie mystery, so if you are part way through the Christie canon and looking forward to reading more, this book is NOT for you. However, for serious Christie fans, this book is an absolute must-read. I, for one, will never look at "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" in the same way.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
07 Jul 2013 23:57 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt, Jordan, Russia
A polarised Egypt entered a second week of political crisis, as opponents and supporters of deposed president Mohamed Morsi held rival demonstrations in Cairo and cities across the country.
The rallies on Sunday came as a coalition that backed Morsi's removal wavered over the choice of Mohamed ElBaradei as interim prime minister.
This also comes two days after 30 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in demonstrations by tens of thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters and opponents.
Meanwhile, Ahmed Suleiman, Egypt's justice minister, submitted his resignation on Sunday to the Council of Ministers, Egyptian news agency MENA reported.
Live Box 201372884866233
Suleiman will stay on in a caretaker role until the formation of a new cabinet, it said.
The Tamarod movement, which engineered even bigger protests on June 30 that culminated in Morsi's overthrow on Wednesday, led calls for people to gather at Tahrir and Ittihadiya presidential palace to "complete the revolution".
And the anti-Morsi crowd swelled in the iconic square as people poured in from sidestreets, some unfurling a giant national flag emblazoned with the words "Go away" - echoing a slogan used widely on June 30.
"Egypt had a revolution, not a coup," read a huge banner wielded by one set of demonstrators. Others carried portraits of army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the general behind Morsi's ouster.
There were similar scenes in Alexandria on the Mediterranean and other major cities.
Their Islamist rivals converged on Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque, Cairo University and the Republican Guard headquarters for rallies to support the "legitimacy" of Morsi's election in June last year and to "reject the military coup".
Carrying pictures of Morsi, they erected barricades and set up checkpoints in various parts of the capital. Some even forced the closure of the main road to the international airport.
Doubts over interim PM
In an interview published on Sunday, ElBaradei called for "inclusion of the Brotherhood in the democratisation process".
"No one should be taken to court without a convincing reason. Former president Morsi must be treated with dignity," the ElBaradei told German news weekly Der Spiegel.
The official MENA news agency said on Saturday that caretaker president Adly Mansour had appointed ElBaradei, only for his office to later deny any final decision had been taken.
Live Box 2013731336926396
Presidential adviser Ahmed al-Muslimani said ElBaradei, the former head of the UN nuclear watchdog, remained the "strongest candidate".
"He is on top of the list of names," Muslimani told AFP.
But by Sunday morning, after another round of talks, a senior Salafi politician said his Al-Nour party would not accept ElBaradei.
"Our position is simple. There are two reasons to reject ElBaradei: we need a technocratic economic figure; and we need to end polarisation on the street," said Nader Bakkar.
"We can't talk of national reconciliation and then make Morsi's most ardent opponent prime minister."
An official close to ElBaradei conceded there were fears of alienating Al-Nour, which won almost a quarter of votes in a 2011 parliamentary election, and "driving them" into Morsi's camp.
Morsi, who has been in custody since Wednesday, had issued a defiant call for his supporters to defend his "legitimacy" as Egypt's first freely elected president, in a recorded speech released shortly after his removal.

Reports of Mohamed ElBaradei being picked are denied, highlighting challenges new leaders face in finding consensus.

Presidential spokesman says several options on the table for interim PM, after earlier reports of ElBaradei appointment.

Video: FSU Coach Jimbo Fisher Grabs Jameis Winston's Facemask After Unplanned Timeout
Florida State freshman sensation Jameis Winston may be considered one of the most impressive young players in the nation, but that doesn't mean he's immune from making mental mistakes on the football field. Winston and his coach, Jimbo Fisher, got into an argument after some clock mismanagement in the fourth quarter of FSU's victory over Florida Saturday afternoon. Fisher made his point known by grabbing Winston's facemask in anger – check it out.
Despite the controversy, the Seminoles rolled the Gators and will play in the ACC Championship Game next week. Hopefully they'll be on the same page by then.

Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova was stunned in the third round of the US Open by a scrambling, moon-balling qualifier ranked No 145.
Aleksandra Krunic, a 21-year-old Serb who until this week had not taken even a set from a player in the top 30, crumpled to the court in celebration and shock on Saturday (local time) when she pulled off the 6-4 6-4 upset of the third-seeded Czech.
"Of course, I didn't expect to win," said Krunic, the second qualifier to pull off such a shocker after 121st-ranked Mirjana Lucic-Baroni beat No 2-seeded Simona Halep on Friday.
After a week of upsets on the women's side, only three of the top eight seeds remain, No 1 Serena Williams, No. 5 Maria Sharapova and No 7 Eugenie Bouchard.
Kvitova, who would have ascended to the No 1 ranking if she won the US Open and Williams had lost before the quarterfinal, committed 34 unforced errors against the fast-moving Krunic, who slid and sometimes went into a gymnastics split to chase down every ball and make her opponent hit one more shot.
Kvitova too often failed to do so, including what should have been an easy putaway of a drop shot. But that went in the net and gave Krunic a point to win the first set. Kvitova sprayed a backhand long on the next point to lose it.
Those problems continued in the second set, when Kvitova bashed a backhand long to give Krunic the break to go up 3-2. Kvitova then sailed a lob long to go down 4-2.
In an epic 27-stroke rally on match point, Krunic looped several towering shots before Kvitova sailed yet another forehand out to end it. Krunic faces the winner of the match between 16th-seeded Victoria Azarenka and Elena Vesnina.
There was no upset for 11th-seeded Flavia Pennetta, who downed American wild-card Nicole Gibbs, 6-4 6-0.
The men's side, meanwhile, remained largely true to form. None of the top 10 and only two of the top 20 seeded men had lost entering Saturday. Tenth-seeded Kei Nishikori continued that trend, advancing in straight sets against No. 23 Leonardo Mayer.
In other key matches Saturday, top-seeded Novak Djokovic faced American Sam Querrey, and fellow American John Isner, seeded 13th, sought to defeat No 22 Philipp Kohlschreiber, the man who has beaten him in the third round the last two years.
For the third time in three matches at this year's US Open, Williams faced an American, this time 52nd-ranked Varvara Lepchenko.
Williams has won 16 matches in a row at Flushing Meadows; she could become the first woman with three straight titles at the tournament since Chris Evert took four in a row from 1975-78.

Democrat Michelle Nunn says she is running for the U.S. Senate from Georgia in 2014.
Nunn, the daughter of former U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn of Georgia, said Monday evening that she is seeking the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss.
Nunn said she plans to draw on her experiences working as CEO of one of the nation's largest volunteer organizations, Points of Light, to run a campaign focused on critical issues such as the federal deficit.
She says she believes in the power of the individual to foster change, work with others and solve problems.
Nunn becomes the first major Democrat to enter the race. On the Republican side, U.S. Reps. Paul Broun of Athens, Phil Gingrey of Marietta and Jack Kingston of Savannah — along with former Secretary of State Karen Handel — have entered the race.

Two horny gay guys hook up for a late-night cocksucking and ass munching session. The dominant guy is a longer head mulatto stud with a goatee, while his baseball cap wearing friend is an eager cocksucker. Kneeling in front of his standing friend, the darker skinned guy wears a cock in this mouth very well, looking extremely happy as his throat gets filled by his friend's prodigious penis. Later on in the cip, the lighter skinned man holds his cap-wearing friend by the back of the head and guides his tongue around to his dirty ass hole, urging him to lick it. A man really has to hope that he wiped his ass that morning!

Photons which are generated in a two-photon cascade process have an underlying time correlation since the spontaneous emission of the upper level populates the intermediate state. This correlation leads to a reduction of the purity of the photon emitted from the intermediate state. Here we characterize this time correlation for the biexciton-exciton cascade of an InAs/GaAs quantum dot. We show that the correlation can be reduced by tuning the biexciton transition in resonance to a planar distributed Bragg reflector cavity. The enhanced and inhibited emission into the cavity accelerates the biexciton emission and slows down the exciton emission thus reduces the correlation and increases the purity of the exciton photon. This is essential for schemes like creating time-bin entangled photon pairs from quantum dot systems.
1. Introduction
Photon entanglement is an important tool for various quantum communication protocols [1–3]. A traditional way to produce entangled photon pairs is spontaneous parametric down-conversion [4]. However, down-conversion sources obey thermal photon statistics [5]. Quantum dots are semiconductor integrated sources with deterministic single photon emission [6–9]. The quantum dot biexciton-exciton cascade can be used as a source of single (polarization) entangled photon pairs [10–12]. Due to the fine-structure splitting of the exciton state and a low pair collection efficiency it is experimentally demanding to get polarization entangled photon pairs from a single quantum dot [13, 14]. In addition, polarization entangled photons have a generally limited transmission length when travelling through an optical fiber due to the polarization mode dispersion [15]. An alternative type of entanglement that overcomes this problem is time-bin entanglement [16]. Also, time-bin entanglement can be used to achieve higher dimensional entanglement in a straightforward way [17]. Recently, it has been proposed to extend this scheme to quantum dot systems [18, 19].
In this paper we investigate the modification of the temporal correlations of a biexciton-exciton cascade emission from an InAs/GaAs quantum dot. These correlations are essential for the state-purity of the photons produced in the time-bin entanglement scheme. The ability to change the temporal correlations is essential for time-bin entanglement experiments as detailed in the following section.
2. Influence of temporal correlations on time-bin entanglement
In [18, 19] a quantum dot is proposed as the system to create time-bin entanglement (see Fig. 1(a)). Initially, the quantum dot is prepared in the metastable state |m〉 from which it is excited to the level |b〉 with two successive coherent pump pulses. From here, the system decays to the ground state by emitting a pair of photons. If the probability for exciting the system with the first pulse is and the probability to excite the system with the second pulse is p2 = 1, the obtained entangled state is of the form:18]. If the system is not excited from the metastable state |m〉 but from the ground state, the resulting state is a probabilistic mixture of |early〉b |early〉x and |late〉b |late〉x states because the system could be excited in each pulse. The authors of the proposals [18, 19] suggested the metastable state |m〉 to be a dark exciton state.
Fig. 1
Unfortunately, in a real system the photon cascade |early〉b |early〉x is not a product state, but a state of the form:18]. The factor θ(tx − tb) describes the temporal ordering of the two emitted photons and leads to an entanglement of the single cascade, which necessarily reduces the purity of the exciton state and therefore impedes multi-pair experiments [18]. Also, the use of the biexciton-exciton cascade as a heralded single photon source demands the single cascade not be entangled. The purity [20] of the exciton state can be calculated by [18]: 18].
3. Experimental setup
In our experiment we measured the correlation of the arrival times of the biexciton and the exciton of an InAs/GaAs quantum dot embedded in a weakly coupled planar distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) cavity (dot1, dot2, dot3) consisting of alternating layers of AlAs and GaAs. Here, dot1 is a randomly picked quantum dot which emits far away from the cavity resonance. For dot2 the biexciton is red-shifted with respect to the cavity resonance at 6 K and can be red-tuned by increasing the temperature. Dot3 is blue-shifted with respect to the cavity at 6 K and is in resonance with the cavity at 30 K (see Table 1). From the measured correlation we extracted the true lifetimes, whereby we mean the lifetime of a decay process regardless of the level loading dynamics, be it an excitation laser or a higher level feeding the one under consideration. As a reference we performed the same measurement with an InAs/GaAs quantum dot without a cavity (dot0).
Our set-up is depicted in Fig. 1(b). A pulsed, wavelength-tunable Ti:Sapphire laser with a pulse length of 2 ps creates successive pump pulses with a repetition rate of 76 MHz. This light excites the quantum dot sample non-resonantly from the side using a microfocusser. The laser is focused onto the cleaved edge of the sample, allowing the light to be guided between the DBRs. The emission of the quantum dots is collected with an objective and is directed onto a grating, which serves as a monochromator in connection with two collecting single mode fibers. A multichannel event timer synchronized to the laser via a photodiode (PD1) registers the detection events from two avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with a single photon time resolution of 35 ps.
The quantum dot emission can be tuned with respect to the cavity by changing the temperature (Fig. 2). With the increase of the temperature we observe increased emission intensity [21, 22] and a reduced emitter lifetime [23]. Since we would like the fraction in Eq. (3) to be close to one, either the biexciton lifetime should be shortened by the cavity with respect to the exciton lifetime or the exciton lifetime should be lengthened by suppressing the exciton emission.
Fig. 2
4. Results
We measured the arrival times of the biexciton photon and the exciton photon with respect to the pump laser pulse and plotted the correlations of their arrival times in a 2D diagram. From this diagram we extracted the lifetimes of both emitters. Figure 3(a) shows such a diagram for quantum dot dot3 at 6 K where both the transitions - the exciton and the biexciton - are out of resonance, and Fig. 3(b) shows the decay extracted from (a). The measurements resulted in a biexciton lifetime of τb = 0.56(1) ns and an exciton lifetime of τx = 0.66(1) ns. The resulting value for the purity is .
Fig. 3
Figure 3(c) shows the same measurement as Fig. 3(a) at a temperature of 30K. We measured a biexciton lifetime of τb = 0.37(2) ns and an exciton lifetime of τx = 0.98(1) ns. The resulting value for the purity is . We observe the biexciton lifetime to become shorter and the exciton lifetime to become longer. Although a shortening of the lifetime was attributed to the influence of temperature in Ref. [24], their system is quite different from ours. In Ref. [25], whose system is similar to ours, an unchanged lifetime up to 100K was reported. Also, the measurements presented in Ref. [24] showed a shortening of the lifetime for all states. Therefore we attribute the shortened lifetime to an enhancement by the cavity. The exciton lifetime becomes longer, despite being more than 1 nm detuned from the cavity resonance. This is unexpected since the change in detuning is small compared to its absolute value. Temperature effects can be excluded by the same reasons as above. A detailed explanation of the lengthening of the exciton lifetime will require further investigation.
In Fig. 4 values for the exciton purity are plotted for all the investigated quantum dots and for various temperatures. The green triangle is a reference measurement made on dot0. The red square is a reference measurement from a randomly picked quantum dot (dot1) on the sample with the DBR cavity. The blue filled circles represent a series of measurements on the quantum dot2. Here, at the temperature 6K, the biexciton emission is red-shifted but proximate to cavity resonance. With the temperature increase the biexciton emission was tuned away from the resonance. Therefore, the value of the trace presented in Fig. 4 decreases. The open black circles are measurements for dot3, where two single measurements for 6 K and 30 K were shown before. The emission from this dot is at 6 K blue shifted with respect to the cavity. With the temperature increase we can tune the biexciton emission in resonance to the cavity.
Fig. 4
We estimated the enhancement factor using the data of dot3, which could be tuned in and out of resonance with the cavity. For this we took the ratio between the unaltered lifetime of the biexciton and its enhanced lifetime. The resulting enhancement factor is . This shows that the purity of the exciton can go up to with an enhancement factor of only 1.51 ± 0.09 and a suppression of the exciton by about the same factor.
5. Comparison to a theoretical estimate
The spontaneous emission of a system, which is initially in an excited state, is caused by the interaction with the vacuum of the electromagnetic field. The mode structure of the vacuum can thus influence and change the dynamics of the emission. In particular, the spontaneous emission is controlled through the photon density of states in an optical cavity, which is called Purcell effect. If the transition dipole is in resonance with a single cavity mode the density of states is increased relative to free space and the spontaneous emission is enhanced, which leads to a faster radiative decay than in free space. On the other hand, if the transition is off resonance then the density of states is lower than in vacuum and the spontaneous emission is reduced. In the frame of the Fermi golden rule the enhancement and the inhibition of the spontaneous emission can be calculated perturbatively in the light-matter weak coupling regime [27].
Considering quantum dots as artificial atoms within an optical cavity we can adopt some of the results for atomic systems using appropriate coupling parameters. The enhanced spontaneous emission of quantum dots in an optical micro-cavity has been observed in several experiments [28]. In free space the damping rate of a two-level system is , where ωa is the transition frequency and μ the transition dipole. For a quantum dot between planar cavity mirrors, such that it is in resonance with the lowest cavity mode at zero in-plane wave vector, and is taken to be localized at the maximum of the mode function, the damping rate within a cavity is Γc = FPΓf. The Purcell factor is given by , where Veff is the effective cavity mode volume, λc the cavity mode wavelength at resonance, and n the refractive index of the medium. Here, Q is the cavity quality factor that is defined by Q = ωc/Δω. From the reflection spectrum of the cavity we extracted a Q factor of 900(30). Our sample contained self-assembled InAs quantum dots of low density (≈ 10 μm−2) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The quantum dots were embedded in a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) micro-cavity consisting of 15.5 lower and 10 upper λ/4 thick DBR layer pairs of AlAs and GaAs, with a cavity mode at λ = 920 nm. The physical thickness of the central cavity layer is L = 542.7 nm. For an estimated Purcell factor of FP = 1.5 the effective mode volume is a cylinder with the height equal to the cavity length L and a diameter of 1.4 μm.
6. Conclusion
In this work we showed that both biexciton and exciton lifetimes can be modified with a planar micro-cavity. We measured a Purcell factor for the biexciton emission of 1.51(9) for the planar micro-cavity. While the biexciton emission is accelerated the exciton emission is slowed down by approximately the same factor. The modification of both lifetimes leads to a significant improvement of the purity of the exciton photon from to 0.73(1). The purity is important for schemes generating time-bin entanglement using such a biexciton exciton cascade. In particular the fidelity of the entangled state will depend on the remaining correlation of the two photons. To improve on this result one could use quantum dots embedded in micro-pillar cavities which have a smaller mode volume. As inhibition of the exciton emission as well as the enhancement of the biexciton emission increases the purity of the emitted photon, a sample design where both processes are granted would be optimal. As such devices we could propose coated microresonators [29] or quantum dots embedded in a photonic crystal cavity [30]. Nevertheless, planar microcavities allow for laser-scattering free schemes of coherent excitation and control of the biexciton population [31]. Such a scheme is essential for probabilistic time-bin entanglement [32]. With a Purcell factor of five the calculated value for the purity is already above 85%. Such a Purcell factor is easily reachable in low finesse micropillar cavities which do not show effects of strong coupling. The practical purity requirements depend on the specific use of the entangled photon pairs [33, 34].

Look at the Big Brain on Brad
Sad to say I was watching local TV news at 11:30 p.m. Saturday night; used to be I didn't remember Saturday nights. (Actually, not so much.) Anyway, after USC beat Arizona 20-3, or whatever, WFAA-Channel 8 fired up its late newscast, anchored by our buddy Brad Hawkins and a female anchor we didn't immediately recognize. (It was probably Shelly Slater, a new hire at WFAA.) At the end of the newscast, Channel 8 ran a piece about MTV's new Latin-flavored offshoot, MTV Tr3s, which debuts today.
After it was over, Slater, we think, asked sorta generally, to no one in particular, "Wonder how you say Pimp My Ride in Spanish." To which Hawkins wasted not a split second with his response: "Peemp my ride." Then he kinda looked down at his desk and grinned; Slater, or whoever it was, kinda giggled. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the spirit of Texas. --Robert Wilonsky
