Prev Article 29. - CIVIL SERVICE Next
75-2929a. State civil service board; appointment, qualifications and terms of members; confirmation by senate. (a) There is hereby created the state civil service board. The board shall consist of five members appointed by the governor, subject to confirmation by the senate as provided by K.S.A. 75-4315b and amendments thereto. Except as provided by K.S.A. 46-2601, no person appointed to the board shall exercise any power, duty or function as a member of the board until confirmed by the senate.
(b) Members shall be in sympathy with the application of merit principles to public employment. Not more than three members of the board shall be of the same political party. Except as otherwise provided in this section, no member of the board may hold any other public office or public employment, except military office or the office of notary public. Subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4315c, and amendments thereto, one member shall be appointed from each congressional district and the remainder shall represent the state at large. Subsequent redistricting of congressional districts shall not disqualify any member of the board who is serving at the time of redistricting from being reappointed as a member of the board.
(c) Except as provided by subsection (d), upon the expiration of the term of any member, a successor shall be appointed as provided in subsection (a), and shall hold office for a term of four years and until a successor is appointed and confirmed. All vacancies in the board shall be filled by appointment for the unexpired term in the case of vacancies occurring before the end of a term.
(d) The terms of members who are serving on the board on the effective date of this act shall expire on March 15, of the year in which such member's term would have expired under the provisions of this section prior to amendment by this act. Thereafter, members shall be appointed for terms of four years and until their successors are appointed and confirmed.

En droit québécois

En droit québécois, pour déterminer si les tribunaux québécois sont compétents pour entendre un litige, il faut d'abord se demander si le litige comporte ou non un élément d'extranéité, au sens où l'entendent les arrêts Dell Computer Corp. de la Cour suprême du Canada. Un élément d'extranéité signifie qu'un aspect du litige a un quelconque rapport avec une juridiction étrangère.

Snapping windows is quicker and easier in Windows 10.
Window-snapping, which was first introduced in Windows 7, is a pretty convenient feature for quickly maximizing your screen's real estate. The feature lets you "snap" a window to one side of your screen without having to move it around and resize it manually.
In Windows 10, Microsoft has improved the snap feature to include more options. You can now snap windows so they take up the full half or just a quarter of the screen, and a handy little Snap Assist tool lets you snap windows even more quickly than before.
To snap a window, click its title bar and drag it to the edge of your screen. An outline will appear to show you where the window will snap to once you drop it. Drag it to the left or right side of your screen to snap it to the left or right half of the screen. You can also drag it to a corner to snap it to the corresponding quadrant, or drag it to the top of your screen to get a full-size window.
You can also snap windows using keyboard shortcuts. To snap a window with the keyboard, select the window you want to snap and press Windows Key + Left Arrow or Windows Key + Right Arrow to snap that window to the left or right side of your screen. If you want to snap it into one of the quadrants, first snap it to the left or right side of the screen and then press Windows Key + Up Arrow or Windows Key + Down Arrow to get it into the top or bottom corner. Once the window is in its smallest possible state (a quarter of the screen), you can move it around using Windows Key + Arrow Keys.
In a previous build of Windows 10, you could also vertically snap windows into either the upper or lower half of the screen, but in this build it's no longer possible. Now if you select a window and press Windows Key + Up Arrow, you'll maximize the window. If you press Windows Key + Down Arrow, you'll minimize it.
If you snap a window with the mouse or the keyboard and you're left with a partially empty screen, Windows 10's Snap Assist feature will pop up. For example, let's say you snap a window to the right half of your screen, leaving the left half of your screen blank. If you have any other open windows, Snap Assist will bring them up as thumbnails in the empty left half of your screen. All you have to do is click on a thumbnail, and that window will open in the left half of your screen.
Once you've snapped a window into the empty half of your screen, you can resize both windows by clicking and dragging the dividing line. Resize the window on the right side to the size you want it to be, then let go of the mouse button. The left window will resize itself to fit alongside it, so you won't have any empty screen space.
Snap Assist comes up when you leave half or one quarter of your screen empty, but not if you leave three quarters of your screen empty. This is probably because Snap Assist tries to fill the empty space in one go, and you can't fill three quarters of the screen with a single window.

Three kids in three different decades are forced to leave their homes in order to have a chance at a better life.
Josef is a Jewish boy living in Germany in 1939. When his father is returned to their family after spending time in a concentration camp, the family takes advantage of a Jewish relocation plan. They board the St. Louis, bound for Cuba. Josef and his mother are happy, dreaming of a better life without persecution in a new country but his father is scarred by his experiences with the Nazis and it seems that some of the Nazi persecution has come with them on the ship.
Isabel has lived her entire life in Cuba under Fidel Castro's oppressive reign. When Castro says he will not stop Cubans who want to leave, Isabel's family joins their neighbors in a small boat to try to get to the United States, just 90 miles away. But before they can reach freedom, they must survive days at sea, sharks, dehydration, and the risk of being returned to Cuba by the American Coast Guard.
Mahmoud has learned that the best way to survive the dangers in his city of Aleppo, Syria is to make himself invisible but even keeping his head down doesn't help with the bombings that destroy his apartment building. Mahmoud's family starts a long trek to Germany that involves lots of payouts and dealings with people who don't have the family's best interest at heart all while their plight is ignored by much of the world.
Alan Gratz is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. His most popular books deal with oppressive times and atrocities but he never relies on the horrors of the time period to do the work for him. His writing style is calm - understated - which allows the reader to come to realizations along with the characters rather than telling us what to think. Refugee does this beautifully. All three families begin their journeys with hope and we as readers are led to believe they will soon be able to resume their normal lives in a better place. But the danger and despair slowly grows for all of them. Although they are separated by decades, their stories are very much the same which, I think, makes Mahmoud's story perhaps the most powerful for teens accustomed to hearing about bad things that happened in the past. Mahmoud's family makes their escape with the help of cell phones and Google maps, clearly illustrating that these situations are not removed from us by time, only by our luck to be living in a safe place.
Another thing that I appreciate is that Gratz does not tie everything up in a bow. So many books for children and teens go for the happy ending or pull their punches with the bad guys. In Refugee, each family suffers some serious, realistic losses so that even those families that manage to make it to safety do so with some sadness.
Finally, I am always excited to learn something new even as I am stunned by how much I don't know. Neither my husband nor I had ever heard of the St. Louis. Although it is an awful story, it is fascinating.
Another great book by Gratz that I will definitely be using in reading programs at my school!


Joe D. and Maura F. White were not allowed to deduct home office expenses for Joe�s self-employment as a handyman. He worked primarily at three different sites, and the most that happened at home was that he received work orders, which were not enough to be either important aspects of the job or to be counted as administrative or managerial activity. He would have had better luck with the shed were he kept his tools, but none of his claimed expense came from the shed. Mr. White also could not deduct vehicle expenses for driving to and from work sites, because his contention was that he was driving between work sites. That is, between his home office and the labor sites. Alas, since he lost on the home office issue, he was only driving from home to work, which is not deductible.
Mr. White�s gross income as a handyman was $4,995.03. The white�s AGI was under $26,000. This case well illustrates the need for government-funded low-income tax advisors. Any decent one could probably have instructed Joe as to how to set up his home office to qualify for the deductions.

on website kultmagazin.sk when I click Load more (posts), new posts are shown without images. You can try.
Do you have in mind where can be problem? I don't have any special plugins for images.
That infinite scroll plugin is installed only now, the thubnails in Load more (načítať viac) button don't show images before.
Or is it possible to just have ,,Next Page"?
Any other category (own category site) have Pagination.
I need one or another, doesn't matter if it's load more or pagination for me. But if it's Load more, I need to show thubnail images. In Pagination images works fine, but I can't get Pagination on Index site.
I can't turn off Load more button (even if it's turned off in Theme options).
..and I can't turn off Pagination. Theme options is like ignoring me with this settings.
Can I give you login please so you look at it?
I don't know what to do :( I only hope that I don't have to restart whole site, because client have so many articles there.
Thank you very much, I was trying plugin combinations until know and know I know where is the problem.
Jetpack plugin is causing Load more problems.
..but if it's possible to fix Press theme with Jetpack plugin. It will be great.

Boris Johnson's woes overshadow trip to ease Ukraine crisis

LONDON – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson couldn't escape his domestic woes during a trip to Belgium and Poland on Thursday aimed at increasing pressure on Russia over its military buildup near Ukraine.
Johnson was trying to show NATO's resolve in response to Russia massing troops near its neighbor's borders. But he faced questions about a police investigation into lockdown-breaching government parties that has shaken his grip on power.
And a previous Conservative Prime Minister, John Major, excoriated Johnson in a no-holds-barred speech, saying the government's disregard for rules and truth had corroded democracy and "shredded" the U.K.'s reputation around the world.
"The prime minister and officials broke lockdown laws. Brazen excuses were dreamed up. Day after day the public was asked to believe the unbelievable," Major said in London.
Major, who led Britain between 1990 and 1997, said Johnson and his government had treated the truth as optional and believed that "they and they alone need not obey the rules."
"Our democracy requires that the truth and the law should be respected and obeyed, above all by the government," Major said.
"Deliberate lies to Parliament have been fatal to political careers" and "must always be so," he added.
London's Metropolitan Police force is investigating a dozen parties held in the prime minister's 10 Downing St. office and other government buildings when the U.K. was under coronavirus restrictions.
The force is writing to about 50 people, including the prime minister and his wife Carrie Johnson, asking for them to account for their activities on the dates under investigation. Anyone found to have broken the rules faces a fine.
Johnson's opponents say he should quit if police found he broke the rules. But he refused to say Thursday whether he would resign if that happened.
"That process must be completed and I am looking forward to it being completed and that's the time to say more on that," he said during a news conference alongside NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in Brussels.
In Poland, Johnson said it was "demonstrably untrue" that his behavior had shredded Britain's international reputation.
Johnson is fighting to extinguish a blaze of controversy over "bring your own booze" office parties, birthday celebrations and "wine time Fridays" held by his staff while millions in Britain were barred from meeting with friends and family because of his government's COVID-19 restrictions.
In addition to the police probe, a total of 16 parties have been investigated by a senior civil servant, Sue Gray.
In an interim report into the four parties not under criminal investigation, Gray found that "failures of leadership and judgment" enabled events to occur that "should not have been allowed to take place" and described a Downing Street operation marked by excessive drinking and dysfunctional dynamics.
Johnson apologized — without admitting personal wrongdoing — and shook up his office team in attempt to reassert control. The staff moves are intended to reassure Conservative lawmakers who are debating whether to seek a no-confidence vote in the leader who won them a big parliamentary majority just over two years ago.
Johnson wants the focus to be on the Russia-Ukraine crisis and the U.K.'s efforts to use a mix of deterrence and diplomacy to resolve it. The prime minister also traveled Thursday to Poland, where he met President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, then visited British troops serving as part of NATO's presence on its eastern flank.
The U.K. has also sent hundreds of troops to Estonia and will deploy Royal Air Force jets to southern Europe and two Royal Navy vessels to the eastern Mediterranean. Johnson said the forces would help "defend NATO from north to south."

Q: How to zip files created on a specific date using powershell? I have a script in place to zip all the files which were created on a specific date.
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.IO.Compression.FileSystem

$logfolder = "c:\users\riteshthakur\desktop\abc"
$startdate = "20161205"
$enddate = "20161205"

Where-Object {$_.CreationDate -gt $startDate -and $_.CreationDate -lt $endDate} |
foreach{[System.IO.Compression.ZipFileExtensions]::CreateEntryFromFile($arch,$_.FullName,$_.Name)}
# archive will be updated with files after you close it. normally, in C#, you would use "using ZipArchvie arch = new ZipFile" and object would be disposed upon exiting "using" block. here you have to dispose manually:
$arch.Dispose()

I am running this script but this is throwing : "Cannot add type. The assembly 'System.IO.Compression.FileSystem' could not be found."
Please help.

Surfboards are expensive! Not only are they hard to build, but the hand shaped ones are truly a work of art. Built only after years of testing and development, the surfboard shaper is a true craftsmen. It takes a ton of hours and highly skilled individuals to create each board. From the shaper to the glasser and sander, a lot of time and effort is invested. This means the cost of building a board is high and thus the retail price isn't cheap. A lot of surfers can't afford a full quiver of boards so finding ones that can handle a wide range of conditions is essential. Here in the NW, we have two predominant swell seasons. In the Spring and Summer we get smaller, short period lackluster waves. Our Fall and Winter sees much larger and stronger swells coming out of the North Pacific. Finding the right boards for these different conditions is essential to maximize your wave count and fun factor. After years of surfing here and selling boards in the shop, we've broken it down to three boards every surfer in the NW should own. We also included samples from some of our favorite shapers.

3) All Year Performance Longboard - Everybody should have a longboard in their quiver! Since the majority of our surf spots are beach breaks, a performance longboard works much better than a larger log style board. We are not blessed with long running point breaks, which are ideal for traditional longboarding. We need more agile boards for our quick and short beach breaks. They are also good when the surf gets bigger due to having more rocker, less volume, and are usually designed with a 2 + 1 or thruster fin set up. They work very well for catching our slopey peaks during the winter and you will often find our surf instructor Gary sitting way outside on his performance longboard waiting for the biggest set of the day.

What's going on with Prince's music from the vault?
hi there I haven't heard anything about the music that was in the vault. Last I heard they were putting on digital format but nothing really has been said or what's happened to it?

There's still rumors of an unleaked Hey Hannigan Experience.
I recall Morris Hayes saying in an interview that Prince recorded at least ten albums prior to his passing,one being Welcome 2 America. Maybe that will eventually be released.
That's really ambiguous. Prior to his passing is literally his whole life. And he certainly recorded more than ten unreleased albums. Morris was around as long as Fink, if not longer. That time obviously saw many, many albums recorded. Prince always said he waited to put out albums until he had songs that sounded like each other so they were cohesive. So who knows exactly how many albums are there, but "at least 10" is a silly statement by Hayes.
Did I miss where you or anyone of us were due a constant update on vault material?
TrivialPursuit said:
I believe that he may have been talking about albums that were released, as well as some that were shelved for whatever reason and he specified the time frame of 2010-2014 iirc. That may have included 20ten,W2A,protege albums and the last three Prince releases.

Be serious. That will never leak.
guess so! Chillax just a question no need to get tiffy about it. After all this is forum for chat, freedom of what's on our minds extra. So what if things are repeated. Some of us are new to the chat and some have been here for years and years..we are not at the same level. Moving on...
I'd say 90% of his stuff from 1978 - 1994 has leaked already. But very little from 1995 - 2016 has surfaced. Now, unless he just didn't record as much as he said, I'd say there's still plenty of unreleased material in that vault.

Right you are Rainbow1, some people.....
love2thenines2
We don't know nothing 4 real what is in the <vault or so few....we don't know what is the unreleased material in the hands of collectors at this stage....so we can't say that....a part of the unreleased stuff has surfaced thru the years 4 sure but we don't know what the Volume of Material Prince has written thru all these decades so ...what we know 4 sure is WE DON't KNOW!!
luvsexy4all
I say they should release one song per month download... ..and at the end of the year rlease them on CD with 3 extra tracks. And do this yearly FOREVER.
love2thenines2003 said:
I doubt that as much as 90% from 78-94 has leaked, my guess is that around 30% has leaked but we really don't know. Prince wrote and recorded new songs all the time so there could be plenty of songs from 78-94 we never heard of.
I'm just askin' the question. Where is it written that Org people or whoever has to be updated on the status of his unreleased material? You wanna know where some of it is? It's in a set called Piano and a Microphone. Some of it is on Purple Rain deluxe. Dude's been dead for just under 3 years. Anyone thinking that vault material was going to be emptied and every album magically remastered with 5 disks of outtakes are sadly ignorant of how it all works.

tend to believe most of the studio work is out... released or official. This is based on photos of the vault and known work orders. Books like The Vault (and princevalt) and the 1983 84 sessions book, as well as the photos from the vault, seem to confirm that much of it is out there.
But that is okay. There is 10 good albums worth of stuff. If it comes out and you already bought it... you should still buy it.

Sometimes I have to defend
that which I find distasteful.
OnlyNDaUsa said:
I don't believe that.
The police photos only showed a portion of what the Vault was. The one at Paisley was like a snapshot of what they organized in 1996ish.
We know that the Estate shipped 8,000 cassettes - 1 of which was P&M83 - out to Iron Mountain. There was 0 cassettes shown in the Paisley vault. The master boxes that were found in other rooms had to have come from somewhere that wasn't the main vault since the main vault seemingly stops in 2004.
That's not to say there's thousands of original songs we haven't heard but we only really know what he did up until he went independent and even what we know from that time is incomplete. Not to mention all the different versions of the songs he did release. Original takes, re-recordings, xtended mixes, reloaded, remixes, etc. H.M Buff said that Prince took multiple runs at Welcome 2 The Dawn. All we knew about before that interview was the one released on The Truth and the electric version that was used as hold music.
First posthumous album is coming from Tidal this year. Only thing we know is it won't contain "any of Prince's music catalogue that is subject to prior agreements with Warner Brothers Records."
[Edited 1/12/19 16:00pm]
no yesterday or tomorrow, no better remedy for sorrow
You see, that's something I find difficult to believe. If you look at all the leaked studio recordings, the vast majority of it comes from his Warner Bros years. What about his late 90s stuff, or Musicology, 3121, Art Official Age etc. Are there really no outtakes from his post millennium work? I don't think that even half of his stuff is out there yet.

you are correct. And we know of some songs like "The Divine" and alternative versions like the full length "She Gave Her Angels" both are said to be epic... oh and the full version of "Come Back"
I admit I thinking more of the WB time as that is (from what I understand) what is in that vault. He said there are multiple vaults.
rdhull
Its still there.
c'mon baby, where's ya guts?
There were unheard recordings from 2003-2012 in the vault. Someone who was cataloging what they could from the photos taken, put a list together and I saw a few titles that were unfamiliar to me. Some looked like they were likely outtakes from 3121 and Planet Earth from the dates they were recorded and others were said to be for the Welcome 2 America album.

The Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Site Law (ECL §27-1301 et seq.) is the New York state superfund (SSF) program. NYSDEC has promulgated regulations implementing the state superfund program at 6 NYCRR 375.
Both the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and the Department of Health have the responsibility to ensure that the risks posed by inactive hazardous waste disposal sites are properly evaluated and addressed. The
While the NY SSF is similar to the federal superfund program known formally as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), there are significant differences between the SSF and CERCLA.
The definition of hazardous wastes under the SSF differs in some respects to the CERCLA definition of hazardous substances;
The definition of a site under the SSF is generally narrower than the CERCLA definition of a "facility";
Unlike EPA's authority under section 106 of CERCLA, NYSDEC does not have authority under the SSF to issue unilateral administrative orders. However, NYSDEC does have general authority under ECL 71-2727 to issue summary abatement orders and to abate water pollution under ECL Section 17-0303(2)(3)(4);
DEC does not have authority to create liens against contaminated property like EPA has under CERCLS sections 107(l) and (r);
The SSF does not provide NYSDEC with the right to seek recovery of its cleanup costs. Instead, NYSDEC through the state attorney generally seeks recovery of its costs by filing a CERCLA action in federal court;
The SSF has more broader categories of responsible parties than CERCLA; and
The SSF does not impose reporting requirements on responsible parties though these parties may have reporting obligations under other authorities

Juan Mariana
Author and Jesuit, b. at Talavern, Toledo, Spain, probably in April, 1536; d. at Toledo, 16 February, 1624.
He is one of the most maligned members of the Jesuit order, owing to the opinions expressed in his book, "De rege et regis institutione", on the killing of despots. He joined the order 1 January, 1554. Nothing more is known of his parentage or his family history.
It is an evidence of his talent that, as early as 1561, after finishing his studies, he was called by his superiors to Rome, where he taught theology for four years. After a further short sojourn in Sicily, he occupied the chair of theology in Paris (1569-1574), but was obliged through illness to return to Spain. There he spent a great number of years at Toledo, occupied almost exclusively with literary work.
Among his literary labours the most important is undoubtedly his great work on the history of Spain, which is still remembered to-day. There was published as late as 1854, in Madrid, an improved and richly illustrated edition continued up to that year. The work first appeared as "Historiæ de rebus Hispaniæ libri XX. Toleti, typis P. Roderici, 1592". A later edition of the compiler himself, carried on still further is "De rebus Hispaniæ libri XXX", published at Mainz in 1605. This edition bears the imprimatur of the order for the thirty books, given by Stephan Hojeda, visitor from Dec., 1598, and of the provincial from 1604. The author had in the mean time converted a Latin edition into Spanish and this appeared complete, containing the thirty books of the Latin edition, at Toledo in 1601. This went through a number of editions during the lifetime of the author and through others after his death.
The second work published is that mentioned above, "De Rege et Regis institutione libre III et Phillippum III Hispaniæ Regem Catholicum, 1599". The work was written at the solicitation of the tutor of the royal princes and at the expense of Philip II (Garcias de Loaysa), but was dedicated to Philip III, who had become king in the meantime. It was not objected to by the King nor anywhere else in Spain; it was obviously calculated to bring up the King as the true father of his people and as a pattern of virtue for the whole nation. The Protestant Dr. Leutbecher (Erlangen, 1830) expressed his judgment of the book in the following terms: "Mariana's excellent mirror for kings . . . contains more healthy materials for the education of future kings than any other princely mirror, and is worthy of all respect as much from kings themselves as from their educators. . . . Would that all kings were as Mariana wanted them to be." The book certainly contained a misconstrued observation in favour of the assassination of Henry III of France, and defended, though with many restrictions and precautions, the disposition and killing of a tyrant. That did not escape the Jesuits in France and they drew the attention of the general of the order to it. The general at once expressed his regret, stating that the work had been published without his knowledge, and that he would take care that the book should be corrected. In 1605 there really appeared a somewhat altered edition at Mainz; to what degree the book had been corrected by the order is hard to discover. Mariana himself had not prepared another edition. But in 1610 a real storm broke loose against the book in France; by the order of Parliament the book was publicly burnt by the hand of the public executioner, while in Spain it continued to enjoy the royal favour. The general of the order forbade members to preach that it is lawful to kill tyrants.
There was still a whole series of smaller works from the pen of Mariana; many of them are only in manuscript. Some of his published works are not without value in political economy - his work "De ponderibus et mensuris" for example, which appeared at Toledo in 1599 and at Mainz in 1605, and his little "De monetæ mutatione", which appeared in a general collection of his works in 1609. In a criticism of this small publication Pascal Duprat (Sommervogel, V, 592), a French economist, declared as late as 1870 that Mariana had set forth the true principles of the money question far better than his contemporaries. This work, however, proved fatal to the author. The fact that he had opposed with genuine courage the depreciation of the currency laid him under a charge of treason to the king, and Mariana, then seventy-three years old, was actually condemned to lifelong imprisonment, which took the form of a committal to a Franciscan convent. He was only to be allowed freedom shortly before his death.
The vehement character of Mariana, which strove against real or intended wrong, had also its dark side. The period of his old age coincided with a stormy time in the history of the order. In the order, which had just them begun to flourish, there were a nu mber of members who were not satisfied with the approved principles of the founder and the Holy See, especially as there was a good deal in them that did not correspond with the principles of the older orders. Even the solemn Bulls of Gregory XIII, which again expressly confirmed the points criticised from within and without the order, did not altogether bring quiet, so that in the year 1593, under the government of Acquaviva, there was a general congregation for the purpose of expelling some of the members. Juan Mariana, for a long period at least, was numbered among the dissatisfied and the advocates of change. In the year 1589 Mariana had already prepared a manuscript to defend the order against the attacks of some of his opponents; the general, Acquaviva, was inclined to have it published, but as it was desirable not to disturb the momentary calm that had come in Spain, this "Defensorium" was never printed. Some time later Mariana, when internal dissensions prevailed in the order, was engaged in the preparation of a memorial, which it is highly probable he intended to forward to Rome. According to Astrain ("Historia de la Compañia de Jésus", III, 417), it must have been written in 1605. The author took great care of the manuscript; there are no indications it was ever intended to be published. But on his arrest in 1610 all of Mariana's papers were seized, and in spite of his request nothing was returned.After his death the memorial was published at Bordeaux by the opponents of the order in 1625 under the title "Discursus de erroribus qui in forma gubernationis Societatis occurunt". After the expulsion of the Jesuits from Spain it was often reprinted again (1468 [sic], 1841) in Spanish, and named "Discorso de los enfermadades de la Compañia. Since the publication of all the editions was the work of opponents of the order, there is nor guarantee that the original text has been reproduced whole. Astrain, nevertheless, showed (op. cit. III, 560, note 3) that the copies of the manuscript which had passed through his hands agreed with the printed work. The original text was thus published without being essentially altered. It is but the effusion of a dissatisfied member of the order. The further development of the order and the further papal confirmation of the principle of the order show Mariana to have been wrong in his criticisms, though his subjective culpability is much lessened by the circumstances. He never left the order; and there seems to have been an entire reconciliation in his last years.

10 benefits of vitamin B12 you have never known before!
Vitamin B12 is one of the main nutrients needed by your body daily to overcome diseases, and we will talk about its benefits on our body in details in this article.
What are the sources of Vitamin B12?!
But, we need to know at first where we can get vitamin B12 or the question in another way what are the sources of Vitamin B12?! Simply, we can get this vitamin in meat, eggs, milk, nuts, legumes, chicken and fish.
Most important 10 benefits of Vitamin B12 for our health!
When you are anemic, your body doesn't have enough red blood cells to transport oxygen to your vital organs, which causes you to experience persistent symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness when doing simple activities.
But VitaminB12 helps produce more red blood cells, reducing the risk of anemia.
Forgetting some information or people is a common symptom of vitaminB12 deficiency. In contrast, getting the amounts helps to strengthen memory, so students are often advised to take it.
Several studies have shown that vitaminB12 has an effect on the health of the immune system. It protects against cancer, especially when folic acid is present.
Studies have shown that vitamin B12 supplementation increases the number of sperm and improves their ability to move, which reduces the risk of infertility.
Certain types of vitamin B12 are necessary to control the pain, and without them, the body will not be able to do its functions.
Studies of patients with back pain, neck and legs showed that taking vitamin B12 improved their condition and significantly reduced their pain.
Broken nails and their weakness are a sign of vitaminB12 deficiency, because this is important for the process of producing cells that give their nails shape.
So, eating healthy foods rich in vitamin B12 can lead to healthy nails.
Taking adequate doses of vitaminB12 during pregnancy is essential for a healthy pregnancy.
Lack of vitamin B12 in the early stages of pregnancy may increase the risk of having a child with congenital defects, premature birth or miscarriage.
Maintaining eye health is one of the important functions of vitamin B12, which may damage the nervous system, which in turn affects the optic nerve.
Maintaining enough levels of vitaminB12 help prevent the risk of macular degeneration in the age-related eye. Researchers believe that supplementing vitamin B12 may reduce homocysteine, a type of amino acid in the bloodstream that increases the risk of infection With this disease.
This vitamin helps facilitate metabolic processes within your body because of its role in converting complex carbohydrates into simple glucose chains used by cells to acquire energy.
This mechanism allows your body to do your daily tasks without feeling fast or chronic fatigue.
How do you measure the levels of Vitamin B12 in your blood?!
Normal rate: The level of this vitamin ranged between 200 to 900 ng / l of blood.
Low average: if the minimum values have between 200 to 500 ng / l.
Severe deficiency: If the level is less than 180 ng / l.

Editor's Note: David Farhat, Jr. is an Attorney based in New York. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own.
I'm annoyed at the narrative being promoted regarding the Alabama senate election. Yes, I'm always annoyed. This ridiculous idea of a turning tide or America returning to morality or a victory for the Democrats is just a downright lie. The real story coming out of this and the presidential election is the fact that white people overwhelmingly voted for unqualified, morally bankrupt, mentally unhinged candidates because of racism. Make no mistake, the only logical reason to vote for Trump or Moore is racism. Furthermore, the numbers bear this out. You remove the non-white vote and both these people win by a landslide.
Also, the "victory" in Alabama had nothing to do with the Democrats. They were, quite literally, the lesser of two evils. Black people in Alabama went out to the poles in numbers because they realized that their white neighbors were so racist that they would elect a man that allegedly abuses little white girls before they elected a black sympathizer. Make no mistake; that is the difference between Democrat and Republican for those voters.
What drove Black people to the poles was sheer terror; Terror that hasn't gone away because the reality hasn't changed because Moore lost. The Democrats benefited from that terror and have done nothing to get rid of it. Why would they? They benefit from it. What other base do they have?! Remember this when you get the argument that there are more issues than race come 2018. The evidence says otherwise.
Lastly, I don't care who you are regardless of race, politics, etc. if you are celebrating what happened in Alabama, I send you a strong condemnation because what you are celebrating is a desperate act of a terrified population. Ain't no "we's" down there. Those people came out to try to save themselves and we do them a great disservice by not taking that seriously.

Bourbon's Back: The Rebirth of Whiskey Row in Louisville, Kentucky
Exclusive Interview With Top Chef Stephanie Izard
An Interview with Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking
Karlie Kloss And Gigi Hadid For Versace
Prior to Prohibition, Whiskey Row was a big deal in Louisville. Natural waterways made the city an ideal location for producing and transporting goods, and one of the most important goods that was shipped all over the country was, of course, Bourbon. Louisville's history is intertwined with the classic American liquor, but unfortunately Whiskey Row fell out of popularity following Prohibition in the 1920s. Improving transport infrastructure all over the country meant that Louisville's waterways were no longer critical for production and shipping; on top of that, the American populace seemed to grow disinterested in locally distilled bourbon in the decades following Prohibition.
Now, Louisville is seeing a surge of new activity on historic Whiskey Row. Not only have Americans developed a renewed interest in their national spirit, but Bourbon has grown more attractive in the international imagination. The new Bourbon craze fits in well with a general shift in attitude towards liquor that's seeing a greater focus on small, local distilleries, as well as a return to the art of mixology. In 2013, Heaven Hill opened the Evan William's Bourbon Experience, which was the first of a slew of new distilleries to begin cropping up in the historic downtown area. Four more distilleries have opened since then, and five more are currently under construction.

Some are speculating that Louisville's Whiskey Row will become the next Napa Valley. More businesses and cultural institutions are opening in the area, meaning that, like Napa Valley, Whiskey Row will become a travel destination for more reasons than the spirit that gave it life.

Такмичење у стрељаштву у дисциплини ваздушна пушка 10m у женској конкуренцији на Летњим олимпијским играма 2016. у Рио де Жанеиру одржано је 6. августа на стрелишту Националне олимпијске стрељане.

Учествовала је укупно 51 стрелкиња из 37 земаља, а такмичење се одвијало у два дела. Кроз квалификације пласман у финале обезбедило је 8 најбољих стрелаца, а резултати из квалификација нису се преносили у финале. Златну медаљу освојила је деветнаестогодишња Вирџинија Трешер из САД са погођених 208,0 кругова, сребро је припало Кинескињи Ду Ли, док је бронза припала браниоцу златне медаље из Лондона, Кинескињи Ји Силинг.

У квалификацијама су учествовале и две стрелкиње из Србије. Андреа Арсовић, која се уочи такмичења налазила на првом месту светске ранг листе у овој дисциплини, заузела је тек 26. место са погођених 413,5 кругова, док је Ивана Максимовић била 12. са 415,4 круга. Репрезентативка БиХ Татјана Ђекановић заузела је 35. позицију са 410,8 погођених кругова.

Због промене система такмичења који се први пут применио на овим Играма, постигнути резултати победница у квалификацијама и финалу су уједно били и олимпијски рекорди.

Освајачи медаља

Квалификације
У квалификацијама се пуцало у 4 серије са по десет метака, а пласман у финале остварило је 8 првопласираних такмичарки.

Финале
У финалу се пуцало у двадесет серија са по једним метком. Након осам серија стрелкиња са најлошијим резултатом напуштала би такмичење, потом су следиле по две серије након којих је најлошија стрелкиња напуштала такмичење и тако до коначног двобоја две најбоље. Резултат из квалификација се није преносио у финале.

\section{Introduction}
Radiologists are faced daily with the very time-consuming and repetitive task of looking at hundreds of radiography images and writing up radiological reports. The fast turn-arounds they are expected to produce leads to fatigue that can negatively affect diagnostic accuracy~\cite{stec2018systematic}. Supervised learning for automated pathology detection from images has the potential for clinical-decision support, however, such image segmentation and classification learning tasks require detailed annotations covering a large distribution of input data for the algorithms to be able to make robust predictions. Such annotations must be made by qualified radiologists, which, for the detail and breadth of annotation required, will be an equally if not more time-consuming task than manually creating the reports. In addition, classification and semantic segmentation tasks only solve for the prediction of presence of pathologies, and not the generation of reports which contain additional information such as severity, location, and absence of pathologies.

Recently, we have seen supervised learning approaches that aim to take advantage of past radiological exams containing reports in order to either auto-generate the reports~\cite{shin2016learning,jing2017automatic,zhang2017tandemnet}, or to assist in classification tasks~\cite{shin2016interleaved,wang2017chestx,wang2017unsupervised,zhang2017mdnet,yan2019holistic}. The noise present in medical reports in addition to the presence of non-visually significant information, such as the negation of pathologies, make it difficult to learn from them directly as done in natural image captioning frameworks. Additionally, high recall/precision of pathologies is more crucial in the medical domain where the risk of mis-labelling is much higher.

We therefore propose to use a limited number of manual medical concept annotations in order to first learn to extract them from raw reports, and then take advantage of the model predictions as image annotations, thus providing a method for augmenting an image-annotation dataset. We then demonstrate how these image-concept annotations can be learned through sequence models conditioned on image features, and generate a more readable context for the diagnosis that can be used as part of a clinical decision support system, thus greatly alleviating the burden on radiologists. Our approach can be summarised in the following steps:

\begin{enumerate}
    \item We propose a network that learns to extract visually-significant medical concepts from raw reports. To our knowledge, this is a first attempt to that goes beyond simple pathology detection to include concepts such as anatomical position and severity.
    \item We explore several sequence-learning networks that aim to condition the sequence generation process on image features in order to learn to auto-generate structured reports from radiological images.
    \item We use the predictions made by the structured report generation process in step 1 to demonstrate how they can be used to create an image-report training set for step 2.
\end{enumerate}

\section{Related Work}
\subsection{Data-mining Image Labels}
There are two common approaches to extracting image labels from raw reports: statistical and tool based. Radiological text mapping tools such as DNorm~\cite{leaman2015challenges} and MetaMap~\cite{aronson2001effective} have been used to extract labels for multi-label classification~\cite{yan2019holistic} and in weakly supervised localisation learning frameworks~\cite{wang2017chestx}. However, other biological concepts in the reports, such as location, severity, and other visually descriptive features of the pathology are not taken advantage of. Unsupervised, statistical methods such as latent Dirichlet allocation \cite{shin2016interleaved} and clustering~\cite{wang2017unsupervised} have been used to implicitly define topics and cluster groups containing key words and propose classification into these topics and groups. These approaches are heavily dependent on the number of topics/groups providing the lowest perplexity score, which can be a range of values. In addition, these are not generative models, therefore reports can only be selected based on nearest-neighbour methods. To this end, we propose instead to learn to generate reports comprised of medical concept from images, in a similar style to natural image captioning.

\subsection{Radiology Report Generation}
Closest to our work, Shin et al.\ proposed a cascaded learning framework to auto-generate MeSH annotations from chest X-rays~\cite{shin2016learning} whereby image embeddings are first extracted from a pre-trained classification network, and then used to initialise a sequence prediction model to auto-generate MeSH sequences. Zhang et al.~\cite{zhang2017mdnet,zhang2017tandemnet} leverage manually created structured reports in a dual-attention framework to improve features used for classifying histopathology images and to provide interpretability to the classification. The reports used in both cases are far more structured than their raw counterparts and so this approach cannot be directly translated to hospital data. Training on raw hospital reports, Jing et al.~\cite{jing2017automatic} demonstrated how they can be generated by first training a multi-label CNN on the images and the Medical Text Indexer (MTI) tags identified in the original raw reports of the Openi chest x-ray dataset. However, reports can be very long and heterogeneous, and the authors do not evaluate the model's ability to determine whether visually and clinically-relevant medical concepts have been identified. To address the challenges of learning from raw reports directly, we first learn to generate structured reports made up of only visually-significant medical concepts that correspond directly to features seen in the images. Being shorter and vocabulary-controlled, the generation process is easier to evaluate for correct identification of pathologies.

\section{Method}
\subsection{Enriched Concept Extraction from Raw Reports}
We approach learning structured reports from raw textual reports as a multi-label classification task since the vocabulary of MeSH terms is consistent across annotators, and limited. We modify the shallow CNN first introduced by Kim~\cite{kim2014convolutional} for multi-class text classification and later adapted for multi-label text classification by Liu at al.~\cite{liu2017deep} by introducing a learn-able embedding layer as we do not have the advantage of pre-trained word embeddings for medical text, and by introducing dropout followed by a fully-connected layer to each convolutional output prior to the concatenation to aid regularisation.

Let $\bm{x}_i\in\mathbb{R}^d$ be the d-dimensional word vector for the $i$-th word of report $\bm{p}$. The textual report is thus represented as a concatenation of word embeddings: $\bm{p} = [\bm{x}_0, ... \bm{x}_i, ... \bm{x}_M] \in\mathbb{R}^{M\times d}$ where $M$ is the maximum length of the reports. A filter $\bm{m}\in\mathbb{R}^{hd}$ is convolved with a window of $h$ words to produce a new feature $c_i$:

\begin{equation}
 c_j = f(\bm{m}*\bm{x}_{i:i+h-1}+b)
\end{equation}

where $f$ is a non-linear activation function and $b$ is a bias term. The filter is applied consecutively to every $h$-word window in the sentence, resulting in a feature map $\bm{c}=[c_0, .... c_i, ... c_{M-h+1}] \in\mathbb{R}^{M-h+1}$. Max-over-time pooling~\cite{collobert2011natural} is applied over each feature map to capture the most important feature $\hat{c}=max(\bm{c})$. In this way we apply many filter operations with varying window widths in order to obtain multiple features that are able to capture semantic information of reports with varying word lengths. We use the sigmoid activation function as we require an independent prediction for each class and train by minimising the multi-class sigmoid cross-entropy (SCE) loss. In addition, we add terms to balance maximising the true positive class prediction with true negative class predictions as the positive label space is very sparse:

\begin{equation}
 \begin{split}
 \widehat{SCE}_i = &- \lambda_1 \sum_{j=1}^K \left(  y_{j}log(f(s_{ij})) + (1-y_{j}log(1-f(s_{j})) \right) \\
 &- \lambda_2 \sum_{j=1}^K y_{j}f(s_{j})/ \sum_{j=1}^K (y_{j}f(s_{j}) + y_{j}(1-f(s_{j}))) \\
 &- \lambda_3 \sum_{j=1}^K (1-y_{j})(1-f(s_{j})) / \sum_{j=1}^K ((1-y_{j})(1-f(s_{j})) + (1-y_{j})(f(s_{j})))
\end{split}
\end{equation}
where $K$ is the number of classes, $y_{j}$ is presence/absence of class label $j$ for instance $i$, $f(s_{j})$ is the prediction for instance $i$ on label $j$ made through a sigmoid activation:

\begin{equation}
 f(s_i) = \frac{1}{1+e^{-s_i}}
\end{equation}

The weights of each loss term, $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3$ are non-negative, sum to 1 and chosen through cross-validation. Finally, the modified SCE loss is averaged over batches.

\subsection{Report Generation from Images}
Given that it is possible to learn structured report outputs from raw reports, we propose a method of learning to auto-generate structured reports directly from images. We explore multiple ways of conditioning the MeSH sequence learning on the image embeddings that aims to maintain the dependency between the word generation process and the image embedding at every time-step. The MeSH sequence is modelled using an RNN, specifically the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) implementation proposed in~\cite{hochreiter1997long}. Each LSTM unit has three sigmoid gates to control the internal state: `input', `output' and `forget'. At each time step, the gates control how much of the previous time steps is propagated through to determine the output. For an input word sequence $\{x_1, \dots, x_n \}$ where $x_i \in \mathbb{R}^d$, the internal hidden state $h_t \in \mathbb{R}^{h}$ and memory state $m_t \in \mathbb{R}^{m}$ are updated as follows:

\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
h_t &= f_t \odot h_{t-1} + i_t \odot \tanh(W^{(hx)}x_t + W^{(hm)}m_{t-1}) \\
m_t &= o_t \odot \tanh(h_t)
\end{split}
\end{equation}

where $ x_t \in \mathbb{R}^D$ is the word embedding, $W^{(hx)}$ and $W^{(hm)}$ are the trainable weight parameters, and $i_t$, $o_t$ and $f_t$ are the input, output and forget gates respectively. Bias terms are left out for readability.

The image embedding, $\bm{im}_i=\text{CNN}(I)$ where $\bm{im}_i \in \mathbb{R}^g$ is extracted from the final spatial-average pooling layer of the pre-trained CNN. We explore three ways of conditioning the sequence learning process:

\begin{enumerate}
\item RNN0: The image embedding is projected into the same embedding space as the word embeddings via a dense transition layer: $\bm{im} = \text{relu}(W^{(dg)}\text{CNN}(I))$. The image embedding is concatenated with the word sequence and thus treated as the first `word' in the MeSH sequence.
\item RNN1: The image embedding is projected via a dense transition layer into a fixed embedding width and combined with the output of the recurrent layer through either concatenation or summation operation, and passed to the decoder $dec$:
\begin{equation}
\bm{dec}_t = \text{relu}(W^{(z)}(o_t*\text{relu}(W^{(dg)}\text{CNN}(I)))
\end{equation}

where $*$ represents concatenation or summation and $W^z$ are the weights of the decoder.

\item RNN2: The image embedding is projected via a dense transition layer into a fixed embedding width and combined with the input of the recurrent layer through either concatenation or summation operation, and passed to the encoder $enc$:
\begin{equation}
\bm{enc}_t = \text{relu}(W^{(a)}(x_t*\text{relu}(W^{(dg)}\text{CNN}(I)))
\end{equation}
where $W^a$ are the weights of the encoder.
\end{enumerate}

The model architectures are illustrated in Figure~\ref{fig:seq_models}. For all models, the decoder outputs are passed to the prediction layer $s(t) = f(W^{T}x_t)$ where $f$ is the softmax function. The models are all trained by minimising the cross-entropy loss  between the output and true sequence:

\begin{equation}
L(S,I) = -\sum_{t=0}^{T} \log p(P_t = T_t | \text{CNN(I)}, P_0 \ldots P_{t-1})
\end{equation}

where $p$ is the probability that the predicted word $P_t$ equals the true word $T_t$ at time step $t$ given image features $\text{CNN}(I)$ and previous words $P_0 \ldots P_{t-1}$, and $T$ is the LSTM sequence length.

\section{Experiments}
\subsection{Dataset}
We evaluated our models on the OpenI~\cite{openi} Indiana U. Chest X-ray Collection. This dataset consists of 7,470 frontal and lateral chest x-ray images and 3,955 associated radiological reports from the hospital's picture archiving systems. They have all been fully anonymised to remove patient names. In addition to the raw text reports, each exam has MeSH annotations made by qualified radiologists. MeSH annotations are (with some exceptions) formatted as [pathology/description,... pathology/description] where \emph{description} is a combination of \emph{anatomy/position/severity}. The number of captions per image is on average 2.33, with an average of 2.68 MeSH terms per caption.
\subsubsection{Preprocessing} This involved lower-casing, punctuation and non-alpha-numeric character removal from reports and MeSH. We limit the MeSH annotations to just one \emph{pathology/description} pair by selecting the caption with the most common pathology. Additionally, as the negation of pathologies was generally standard across reports, we performed negation removal using regex. Finally, the text reports were cropped/padded to 32 words based on the average of 20.23 +1 std of 11.9. MeSH captions were cropped/padded to length 5 based on average+1 std. Empty reports were removed. This resulted in 3,023 unique report-MeSH term pairs, of which 300 were randomly selected for validation and 300 for test.

\subsection{Experimental Settings}
We first investigate whether the structured reports can be learned from raw reports by creating a sub-set of size=1000 of the MeSH annotated reports, and training the text CNN on the report-MeSH pairs in the sub-set. The trained text CNN is then used to make MeSH prediction on the remaining set of raw reports, and these (together with the gold-standard annotated sub-set from the previous step) are used to train the image-MeSH sequence model. We compare this to training the image-MeSH sequence model on the entire gold-standard annotated set of 3,023.

\subsubsection{Text CNN}
For the text CNN model, we use rectified linear units as activation function on the convolutional layers, one-dimensional convolutional filters of width 3,4,5 with 512 feature maps for each filter, dropout rate~\cite{dahl2013improving} of p=0.5, with 254 hidden units for the dense layer, and with $\lambda_1=0.5, \lambda_2=0.2, \lambda_3=0.3$ for the loss terms. The model was trained through batch backpropagation, batch size=128 and using Adam optimisation~\cite{kingma2014adam} with learning rate=0.001 for 100 epochs with early-stopping. To compensate for the class imbalance of `normal' vs.\ diseased cases, we select batches with uniform distribution over the classes, augmenting the instances by sentence-shuffling.
\subsubsection{Sequence Models}
Image embeddings are extracted from the last average pooling layers of Vgg16~\cite{simonyan2014very} and Resnet50~\cite{he2016deep} models, pre-trained on ImageNet~\cite{deng2009imagenet} to extract $\bm{im} \in \mathbb{R}^{4096}$ and $\bm{im} \in \mathbb{R}^{2048}$ respectively. For RNN0, the joint image-word embedding dim is set to 2048 for the Vgg input, and 1024 for Resnet. For RNN1 and RNN2, the dense transition layer dimension is set to 1024. For all the sequence models, the LSTM hidden state is set to dim 512, and the LSTM units are unrolled up to 6 time steps (1 for the start token, and 5 for MeSH sequence). All models are trained with batch size 128, using Adam optimisation~\cite{kingma2014}, learning rate=0.001 and early-stopping.

\section{Results}
\subsubsection{Enriched Concept Extraction from Reports}
We evaluate the MeSH term prediction from the text reports by calculating the total binary accuracy (Acc), precision (P) and recall (R), and the mean-over-class (P-OC, R-OC) and mean-over-samples (P-OS, R-OS) precision and recall of the 102 classes. In addition, we report metrics of the `pathology' classes separately by manual allocation based on the definitions on the MeSH term online library~\cite{mesh}. Complete metrics are compared in Table~\ref{tab:text_cnn_results_all}.

\subsubsection{Report Generation from Images}
During inference, the first word is sampled from the LSTM, concatenated to the input, and used to predict consequent words. The quality of the generated reports was evaluated by measuring BLUE~\cite{papineni2002bleu} scores averaged over all the reports, which are a form of $n$-gram precision commonly used for evaluating image captioning as they maintain high correlation with human judgement. BLEU scores of RNN0, RNN1 and RNN2 trained on all gold-standard annotations and on the predictions made by the text CNN are presented in Table~\ref{tab:seq_results_all}. RNN0 is the same framework used in~\cite{shin2016learning}, however, they additionally train their model in a cascaded fashion which significantly improves the model's ability to predict the first word, but struggles to maintain visual correspondence in generating subsequent words, hence the steep reduction in higher $n$-gram precision. Additionally, cascaded models suffer from error propagation during test time, hence the poor performance on test data. RNN1 and RNN2 solve both problems by conditioning the word generation process on the images at every time-step and by being trained end-to-end, hence achieving higher $n$-gram scores on the test data. In addition, we have shown that we can achieve comparably high BLEU metrics when training on the predicted MeSH terms made by the text CNN.

\section{Conclusion}
We demonstrate how, given a small amount of manual annotations, clinically and visually-important concepts can be learned from raw textual radiology reports. We then demonstrate how these concepts can be used as radiological image annotations and used in an image-sequence learning model to auto-generate reports as part of a clinical decision support system.

Press release – Q3 2019 Sales
Financial Results | 24 Oct, 2019 | 5 min
Sales up 8% to 4,772 million euros
8 percentage point outperformance versus automotive production
Guidance confirmed, excluding the one-off impact of the General Motors strike in the United States
Jacques Aschenbroich, Valeo's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"In line with our forecasts, our outperformance accelerated in the third quarter in all of our Business Groups and production regions, including China. This was driven by a customer/product mix that moved back into favorable territory, and by the gradual start of production under contracts in the camera, electrification and lighting segments.
To continue the action plan launched in the first half of the year, we are continuing to roll out our program to reduce costs by more than 100 million euros and further scaling back our capital expenditure by around 200 million euros. This will help improve our operating margin and free cash flow generation in the second half of the year. We confirm our guidance excluding the impact of the General Motors strike."
Paris, October 24, 2019. Consolidated sales totaled 4,772 million euros in the third quarter, a rise of 8% as reported, or 6% like for like(1).
Original equipment sales totaled 4,046 million euros, up 7% as reported, or 5% like for like(1), with the outperformance accelerating to 8 percentage points in the third quarter (from 3 percentage points in the first quarter and 4 percentage points in the second quarter).
All Business Groups outperformed the market during the period, spurred by the start of production of numerous high-tech innovations (cameras and other ADAS-related products, electrification and lighting systems), mainly in Europe, China and North America, where the Group's outperformance is accelerating. In addition, Valeo continued to benefit from the balanced alignment of its businesses across the main automotive production regions and the main automaker customers.
Aftermarket sales were down 3% on a like-for-like basis(1) owing to the slowdown in business in Europe, as well as the closure of operations in Iran.
"Miscellaneous" sales, including tooling revenues, rose by a sharp 46%, confirming the hypothesis of a higher outperformance in the fourth quarter than in the first half.
Consolidated sales for the first nine months of 2019 came out at 14,548 million euros, while nine-month original equipment sales (12,266 million euros) slipped 1% like for like(1), beating automotive production by 5 percentage points.
