]This silver and gray striped tie is one of Cavallieri's more festive tie designs. The narrow silver stripes are not printed on but were woven into the fabric - creating more depth and a thicker and more luxurious feel.
This tie is part of Cavalleri's "business stripe" collection. Should you like this design then we also carry this tie in; bright red, burgundy, lime-green, navy, and charcoal-black. Handmade from pure silk.
Work-fluctuation theorem for a charged harmonic oscillator

The solution of the Langevin equation including the inertia term is used to prove the transient work-fluctuation theorem for an electrically charged Brownian harmonic oscillator in an electromagnetic field. The theorem is proved for the physical situation in which the system is driven out of equilibrium by an arbitrary time-dependent dragging of the trap potential minimum. The proof is first given for a harmonic oscillator in the absence of an electromagnetic field, and then is extended to include the case of a charged harmonic oscillator under the action of crossed electric and magnetic fields. The case of a linear motion for the potential minimum is explicitly addressed.Speculation continues to grow within the industry over a potential merger involving Connells and the newly-combined agencies of Leaders and Romans.
Connells has told Estate Agent Today that it firmly denies the speculation, which has existed in the agency industry for some weeks.
However Peter Loverdos, the chief operating officer of Property Services Holdings - the parent company of Romans and Leaders since their merger into a ‘super-agency’ in March - has simply told EAT that the company will not comment on “industry rumours”.
Estate Agent Today has also spoken with Bowmark Capital, which backs both Romans and Leaders and which announced their merger in the spring. A spokeswoman for Bowmark was asked explicitly if she wished to deny the speculation but instead said the firm was declining to comment.
Leaders and Romans have a combined total of over 140 branches and revenues of over £100m.
Property Services Holdings is led by joint chief executives Paul Weller (of Leaders) and Peter Coles (of Romans).
Adrian Gill, outgoing executive director of estate agency at LSLi - owner of Your Move, Reeds Rains and Marsh & Parsons - is joining Property Services Holdings in the future, thought to be early in 2017.
Meanwhile Connells Group - which has told EAT that it “isn’t merging with Property Services Holdings or any other organisation associated with Romans/Leaders” - recently gave its half year results to the City.
It posted an increase in pre-tax profits from January to June 2016 of 15 per cent, making £31.3m, up from £27.3m for the same period last year.
Connells Group, owned by Skipton Building Society, grew its sales and letting agency division during that period through a series of acquisitions including Rook Matthews Sayer in the north of England and the Paul Dubberley independent which it purchased from investment company Bond Wolfe.
In its results, Connells Group said it would be continuing to expand and acquire, despite incurring market uncertainty in some areas following the Brexit vote.

RomConLead - has a ring to it...
Connells appear to have kicked everyone in their offices and set them some new super-high targets on new instructions because everything they list appears to be hugely over-valued.
Please login to commentThe Goal of Explore College Majors Week is to create a space for college and pre-college students to have the opportunity to enjoy meaningful conversations with faculty members and advisors involved in all the credentials (majors, minors, and certificates) offered in the College of Arts and Sciences.
This event involves College advisors and faculty members representing departments and programs and staff from the Walter Center and College Recruiting acting as room hosts. And of course — the College and Pre-College undergraduate students attending the event!
Below you’ll find a schedule of events with departmental groupings, participants, and Zoom links for all three nights of this event. Zoom rooms are organized by advisor assignments. If an advisor(s) serves multiple departments/programs, faculty members from each will be present in that room. Each Zoom room has a room host and advisor and faculty representatives.
Zoom rooms are designed to be spaces for casual mixing and conversation. As with the Majors Expo in years past, which is a traditional fair-style event, students will drop-in and drop-out of these rooms as they please to mingle with department representatives.
If you have specific questions about this event please email the Walter Center.
Monday, Oct. 26, 6:00-7:30 p.m.
Wednesday, Oct. 28, 6:00-7:30 p.m.
Room hosts should arrive in their Zoom rooms no later than 5:45 p.m. the night they are assigned to host.
Promote academic advisors to role of co-hosts.
Make sure everyone is introduced to each other and set up any organizational logistics that might be appropriate.
Change the legible title labels of all advising and faculty members to make their names and roles clear.
Set up individual breakout rooms for each of the programs/departments represented. Faculty can be placed into these rooms before the event begins, or when appropriate.
Discuss with the room participants how they wish — or do not wish to– use the Room’s chat function.
Make sure everyone present understands the mechanism of breakout rooms and how to return to the larger Zoom room from the breakout rooms.
Let students into the room from the waiting room.
Takedown the student’s name and email for later follow-up purposes.
Inform students how the room wishes to use the chat and breakout rooms.
Advisors should arrive in their Zoom rooms no later than 5:45 p.m.in order to touch base with the Zoom room host to help configure the room for the event.
Advisors are the organizing principle behind each Zoom Room configuration.
Answer more detailed questions students may have about curricular issues.
Depending on the nature of the question, the advisor should feel free to set up a mechanism to talk with the student at greater length about their individual situation after the event concludes.
It is not appropriate to speak about specific, personal student considerations in the public Zoom Room setting. The advisor, however, should feel free to field questions of a general nature in the larger Zoom Room setting.
Depending on the nature of a given Zoom Room’s population and popularity, a host and advisor can work to place the advisor and student in a more private breakout room for a time. In general, however, Advisors should expect to spend the majority of their time in the larger Zoom Room, available to all students who come showing an interest in the departments and programs represented in that Room.
In rare cases, a Zoom Room may have more than one advisor. In such cases, breakout rooms used for conversations between an individual student and an advisor might be more common.
At least one faculty member from each department/organization should arrive in their Zoom rooms no later than 5:45 p.m. in order to help prepare the Zoom room for the event.
Departments/Programs are allowed more than one faculty member and may wish to have faculty members take shifts during the event.
The goal is to have at least one faculty member present for each department/program for the duration of the event.
Faculty members may wish to stay in the larger Zoom room for discussions, but they can also work with the Host to set up a breakout room to enable smaller conversations with an individual student or smaller group of students.
Departments/programs may wish to have PDF documents describing their majors and minors, which can be emailed to interested students. You may want to view the student-facing event webpage to see what information is already readily available to students.
In cases where departments or programs have a current physically open office on campus, such departments and programs can offer swag or informational materials to students willing to stop by their brick-and-mortar campus department or program offices. Departments and programs are responsible for providing their own swag and informational items.
In most cases, we are looking for students to drop in and out of rooms, and thus we don’t expect faculty members or advisors to have a preplanned presentation for those who come. Advisors and faculty members should be able to discuss the curricular demands of the certificates they offer.
The exception to not having preplanned presentations may occur in the case of departments with a large number of majors such as such as Biology and Psychology and Brain Sciences. In cases where there is a good possibility of large numbers of students visiting a particular Zoom Room, the advisor and faculty members should have a short prepared presentation (no longer than five minutes) that they can give at regular intervals followed by a question and answer time. These larger departments and programs should also strategize on how best to use breakout rooms to facilitate smaller group discussions involving students if that seems appropriate.
Students will enter and exit as they please. The room host will let them into the larger Zoom room from the waiting room, and then they’ll either have a chance to discuss a given major/minor with those present or be sent into a break-out room.
We wrote in the morning about a potential vulnerability in Intel’s chips which would leave PCs of all operating systems vulnerable to being hacked despite all earlier protections and sandboxes in place.
Now Intel has released a statement in response and vociferously denied that the issue is exclusive to Intel chips, is as serious as portrayed, or that PCs
