Time correlated fluorescence characterization of an asymmetrically focused flow in a microfluidic device
In this study, we explore and model the behavior of a prototype microfluidic device which employs two non-mixing fluids (sheath and inlet fluids) displaying an asymmetric focused flow, in the presence of a fluorescent dye. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy is employed, allowing the precise measure of flow speeds across the channels and of the concentration profile of the central focused flux along the flow direction. The system is modeled via a standard Navier-Stokes finite-element approach, coupled to convection-diffusion equations for the solute. Simulations reproduce accurately the shape, the position, and the width of the velocity and concentration profiles along the central channel and across the transversal and vertical sections of the microfluidic device. The observed asymmetric flow with respect to the center of the channel is reproduced numerically with an error in the position determination smaller than 1%.

Abstract: In this study, we explore and model the behavior of a prototype microfluidic device which employs two non-mixing fluids (sheath and inlet fluids) displaying an asymmetric focused flow, in the presence of a fluorescent dye. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy is employed, allowing the precise measure of flow speeds across the channels and of the concentration profile of the central focused flux along the flow direction. The system is modeled via a standard Navier-Stokes finite-element approach, coupled to convection-diffusion equations for the solute. Simulations reproduce accurately the shape, the position, and the width of the velocity and concentration profiles along the central channel and across the transversal and vertical sections of the microfluidic device. The observed asymmetric flow with respect to the center of the channel is reproduced numerically with an error in the position determination smaller than 1%.

ranksum
Test for Equal Median of Two Populations
Statistics of the Test for Two Population Medians
Increase in the Median
Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test
z-Statistic
p = ranksum(x,y)
[p,h] = ranksum(x,y)
[p,h,stats] = ranksum(x,y)
[___] = ranksum(x,y,Name,Value)
p = ranksum(x,y) returns the p-value of a two-sided Wilcoxon rank sum test. ranksum tests the null hypothesis that data in x and y are samples from continuous distributions with equal medians, against the alternative that they are not. The test assumes that the two samples are independent. x and y can have different lengths.
This test is equivalent to a Mann-Whitney U-test.
[p,h] = ranksum(x,y) also returns a logical value indicating the test decision. The result h = 1 indicates a rejection of the null hypothesis, and h = 0 indicates a failure to reject the null hypothesis at the 5% significance level.
[p,h,stats] = ranksum(x,y) also returns the structure stats with information about the test statistic.
[___] = ranksum(x,y,Name,Value) returns any of the output arguments in the previous syntaxes, for a rank sum test with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.
Test the hypothesis of equal medians for two independent unequal-sized samples.
Generate sample data.
x = unifrnd(0,1,10,1);
y = unifrnd(0.25,1.25,15,1);
These samples come from populations with identical distributions except for a shift of 0.25 in the location.
Test the equality of medians of x and y.
p = 0.0375
The p-value of 0.0375 indicates that ranksum rejects the null hypothesis of equal medians at the default 5% significance level.
Obtain the statistics of the test for the equality of two population medians.
Load the sample data.
load mileage
Test if the mileage per gallon is the same for the first and second type of cars.
[p,h,stats] = ranksum(mileage(:,1),mileage(:,2))
h = logical
stats = struct with fields:
ranksum: 21.5000
Both the p-value, 0.043, and h = 1 indicate the rejection of the null hypothesis of equal medians at the default 5% significance level. Because the sample sizes are small (six each), ranksum calculates the p-value using the exact method. The structure stats includes only the value of the rank sum test statistic.
Test the hypothesis of an increase in the population median.
load('weather.mat');
The weather data shows the daily high temperatures taken in the same month in two consecutive years.
Perform a left-sided test to assess the increase in the median at the 1% significance level.
[p,h,stats] = ranksum(year1,year2,'alpha',0.01,...
'tail','left')
zval: -1.1403
ranksum: 837.5000
Both the p-value of 0.1271 and h = 0 indicate that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a positive shift in the median of observed high temperatures in the same month from year 1 to year 2 at the 1% significance level. Notice that ranksum uses the approximate method to calculate the p-value due to the large sample sizes.
Use the exact method to calculate the p-value.
'tail','left','method','exact')
The results of the approximate and exact methods are consistent with each other.
x — Sample data
Sample data, specified as a vector.
y — Sample data
Sample data, specified as a vector. The length of y does not have to be the same as the length of x.
Example: 'alpha',0.01,'method','approximate','tail','right' specifies a right-tailed rank sum test with 1% significance level, which returns the approximate p-value.
alpha — Significance level
0.05 (default) | scalar value in the range 0 to 1
Significance level of the decision of a hypothesis test, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'alpha' and a scalar value in the range 0 to 1. The significance level of h is 100 * alpha%.
Example: 'alpha', 0.01
method — Computation method of the p-value
'exact' | 'approximate'
Computation method of the p-value, p, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'method' and one of the following:
'exact' Exact computation of the p-value, p.
'approximate' Normal approximation while computing the p-value, p.
When 'method' is unspecified, the default is:
'exact' if min(nx,ny) < 10 and nx + ny < 20
'approximate' otherwise
nx and ny are the sizes of the samples in x and y, respectively.
Example: 'method','exact'
tail — Type of test
'both' (default) | 'right' | 'left'
Type of test, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'tail' and one of the following:
'both' Two-sided hypothesis test, where the alternative hypothesis states that x and y have different medians. Default test type if 'tail' is not specified.
'right' Right-tailed hypothesis test, where the alternative hypothesis states that the median of x is greater than the median of y.
'left' Left-tailed hypothesis test, where the alternative hypothesis states that the median of x is less than the median of y.
Example: 'tail','left'
p — p-value of the test
nonnegative scalar
p-value of the test, returned as a positive scalar from 0 to 1. p is the probability of observing a test statistic as or more extreme than the observed value under the null hypothesis. ranksum computes the two-sided p-value by doubling the most significant one-sided value.
h — Result of the hypothesis test
Result of the hypothesis test, returned as a logical value.
If h = 1, this indicates rejection of the null hypothesis at the 100 * alpha% significance level.
If h = 0, this indicates a failure to reject the null hypothesis at the 100 * alpha% significance level.
stats — Test statistics
Test statistics, returned as a structure. The test statistics stored in stats are:
ranksum : Value of the rank sum test statistic
zval: Value of the z-statistic (computed when 'method' is 'approximate')
The Wilcoxon rank sum test is a nonparametric test for two populations when samples are independent. If X and Y are independent samples with different sample sizes, the test statistic which ranksum returns is the rank sum of the first sample.
The Wilcoxon rank sum test is equivalent to the Mann-Whitney U-test. The Mann-Whitney U-test is a nonparametric test for equality of population medians of two independent samples X and Y.
The Mann-Whitney U-test statistic, U, is the number of times a y precedes an x in an ordered arrangement of the elements in the two independent samples X and Y. It is related to the Wilcoxon rank sum statistic in the following way: If X is a sample of size nX, then
U=W−nX(nX+1)2.
For large samples, ranksum uses a z-statistic to compute the approximate p-value of the test.
If X and Y are two independent samples of size nX and nY, where nX < nY the z-statistic is
z=W−E(W)V(W)=W−[nXnY+nX(nX+1)2]−0.5∗sign(W−E(W))nXnY(nX+nY+1−tiescor)12,
with continuity correction and tie adjustment. Here tiescor is given by
tiescor=2∗tieadj(nX+nY)(nX+nY−1),
where ranksum uses [ranks,tieadj] = tiedrank(x,y) to obtain tie adjustments. The standard normal distribution gives the p-value for this z-statistic.
ranksum treats NaNs in x and y as missing values and ignores them.
For a two-sided test of medians with unequal sample sizes, the test statistic that ranksum returns is the rank sum of the first sample.

In Bhutan there is a traditional national dress prescribed for men and women, including the monarchy. These have been in vogue for thousands of years and have developed into a distinctive dress style. The dress worn by men is known as Gho which is a robe worn up to knee-length and is fastened at the waist by a band called the Kera. The front part of the dress which is formed like a pouch, in olden days was used to hold baskets of food and short dagger, but now it is used to keep cell phone, purse and the betel nut called Doma. The dress worn by women consist of three pieces known as Kira, Tego and Wonju. The long dress which extends up to the ankle is Kira. The jacket worn above this is Tego which is provided with Wonju, the inner jacket. However, while visiting the Dzong or monastery a long scarf or stoll, called Kabney is worn by men across the shoulder, in colours appropriate to their ranks. Women also wear scarfs or stolls called Rachus, made of raw silk with embroidery, over their shoulder but not indicative of their rank.[6]
American historian and author Ruth Edna Kelley of Massachusetts wrote the first book-length history of Halloween in the US; The Book of Hallowe'en (1919), and references souling in the chapter "Hallowe'en in America".[145] In her book, Kelley touches on customs that arrived from across the Atlantic; "Americans have fostered them, and are making this an occasion something like what it must have been in its best days overseas. All Halloween customs in the United States are borrowed directly or adapted from those of other countries".[146]
So, still a t-shirt, this costume requires just a little bit more of effort. You have to download the app onto your digital device! Then you simply slip your phone into the Velcro pocket inside the tee, and you'll have an animated effect right on your shirt. With still practically no work involved, this Digital Dudz shirt is the perfect easy choice for fans of horror movies, and we're sure you're going to get lots of attention.
Spider Woman a.k.a. Spider-Gwen might be from an alternate universe, but with her stylish look we think she'd be right at home on any planet. With this costume's sleek hoodie and dynamic color scheme we're sure you're going to love pretending you're the one who got bit by a radioactive spider. Give this cool costume a try to bring this up-and-coming superhero to life!
Spider-Man has been featured numerous times in Hasbro's Marvel Legends series. He first appeared in the Movie Sandman Build-a-Figure wave in both his outfit from the first movie and his black costume from Spider-Man 3. He was next featured in the Arnim Zola Build-a-Figure series, this time sporting his Big Time costume. The movie version of Spider-Man from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was then featured in the Ultimate Green Goblin Build-a-Figure wave. A classic version of Spider-Man was later featured in the Hobgoblin Build-a-Figure wave, nicknamed "Pizza Spidey" by fans due to the presence of a slice of pizza. The Ultimate version of Spider-Man was then featured in the Space Venom Build-a-Figure series. The Symbiote version of Spider-Man then appeared in the Sandman Build-a-Figure wave. A Spider-Man: Homecoming-themed wave was then launched, with Vulture's wings as the "Build-a-Vehicle" this time. The line featured the movie version of Spider-Man in his costume and his homemade suit, as well as Cosmic Spider-Man. Spider-Man has also been featured in several two-packs and box sets, including a Captain America: Civil War-themed set that included Iron Man and Captain America, and a two-pack with Ultimate Vulture.
When fighting Electro, Spidey had to modify his costume to defeat his foe. He once made a costume from a rubber air mattress that made victory over Electro possible. On another occasion, when Electro's powers were amplified, Spider-Man used an improved version of the insulated costume that was resistant to Electro's attacks. With the help of X-Man, Spider-Man once again defeated Electro.
Dr. Doom has broken Dr. Octopus out of prison as the final mover in the latest plan for world conquest. Using Ock's expertise to help him draw on the arcane energies of the Negative Zone, Doom has found a way to wield absolute power. Now the only thing standing between Doom and his goals are Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four--and one of the F.F. is already Doom's prisoner!
In 1994 Captain Universe appeared in a one-shot, coinciding with a promotion, with the claim that readers could have a comic about themselves made for a fee. The comics were generally stock stories, with minor details (such as skin or hair color, key names or phrases, etc.) altered based on information provided by the purchaser. Veterinary student Jeff Christiansen, who would later become the force behind the resurgence of the Official Handbooks of the Marvel Universe in the mid-2000s was made the official Captain Universe of the comic so that it could be considered an in-continuity comic. The one-shot was titled X-Men/Captain Universe: Sleeping Giants.
Sometime later, Spider-Man revealed his identity to the Black Cat who would end up breaking up with him. She was unable to bear the fact that Spider-Man liked to live a civilian life as Peter Parker instead of staying in costume. Mary Jane would return to New York and she visited Peter in his apartment. Meanwhile, the Puma had tracked down Spider-Man but Peter sensed his presence using his spider-sense.

Regardless, Lee received Goodman's approval for the name Spider-Man and the "ordinary teen" concept and approached artist Jack Kirby. As comics historian Greg Theakston recounts, Kirby told Lee about an unpublished character on which he had collaborated with Joe Simon in the 1950s, in which an orphaned boy living with an old couple finds a magic ring that granted him superhuman powers. Lee and Kirby "immediately sat down for a story conference", Theakston writes, and Lee afterward directed Kirby to flesh out the character and draw some pages.[20] Steve Ditko would be the inker.[note 3] When Kirby showed Lee the first six pages, Lee recalled, "I hated the way he was doing it! Not that he did it badly—it just wasn't the character I wanted; it was too heroic".[20]:12 Lee turned to Ditko, who developed a visual style Lee found satisfactory. Ditko recalled:
Rocking out a thundering DIY Thor costume you crafted at home is a weekend job. According to Marvel, Thor is the God of lightning and thunder as well as one of the Asgard Lords. A Thor costume must have a red cape (make use of your curtains), a black or silver undershirt, a bulky belt, and boots. Thor's mighty hammer, known as the Mjölnir, is a must. One of the superpowers he possesses is an ability to produce infinite magical power called Odinforce. No wonder why Thor almost broke Captain America's shield by throwing the Mjölnir at him. Anyway, you can create a Mjölnir easily out of cardboard. Here's a quick video on how you can do it.
Halloween costumes in the contemporary Western world sometimes depict people and things from present times and are sometimes read in terms of their political and cultural significance. Halloween costumes are sometimes denounced for cultural appropriation when they uncritically use stereotypical representations of other groups of people.[38][39] Immigration and Customs Enforcement Secretary Julie Myers was involved in a scandal when she awarded "Best Costume" at the ICE Halloween party to an 'escaped Jamaican prisoner' dressed in dreadlocks and blackface.[40]

Tens of thousands of Lebanese bid a final farewell to Patriarch Sfeir
Lebanese and foreign dignitaries as well as ordinary people paid tribute to the cardinal. The incumbent Patriarch al-Rahi described his predecessor as an "unshakable rock" and a "man of reconciliation". For Card Sandri, he "performed his mission in turbulent circumstances". Émile Lahoud, who was president during the Syria "era", and Hezbollah were among the few no-shows.
Beirut (AsiaNews) – Thousands of people, from every walk of life and religious background, travelled to Bkerké to take part yesterday afternoon in the farewell ceremony of former Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir, who passed away last Sunday.
The funeral of the Patriarch Emeritus, celebrated as the great guardian of national unity, began at 5 pm with the arrival of Lebanese President Michel Aoun, Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Parliamentary Speaker Nabih Berri.
In the funeral prayer the incumbent Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi spoke for all Lebanese when he said that Card Sfeir's death is "a national loss".
Viewed as "the patriarch of the second independence," he was an "iron patriarch and an unshakable rock", the man of "national reconciliation" capable of resisting "without weapons, sword, or missiles".
Patriarch Sfeir worked "on removing barriers, enhancing national unity and strengthening coexistence, which he considered to be Lebanon's essence," Rahi added.
Card Leonardo Sandri, Prefect of the Congregation for Eastern Churches, attended the service. In his address, he said that the Patriarch was a "free and brave man who performed his mission in turbulent circumstances" like those of war and Syria's occupation.
He always defended "his country's sovereignty and independence" and promoted dialogue in Lebanese society at the ecumenical, interreligious and social level.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun awarded Card Sfeir the Lebanese order of merit of the Grand Cordon grade.
In addition to Lebanese officials, the funeral was attended by Vatican officials (including the Apostolic Nuncio to Syria Card Mario Zenari), French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and representatives of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan.
"Patriarch Sfeir is the father of peace and coexistence in Lebanon and today we're taking part in the funeral at the Saudi leadership's orders," Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Walid al-Bukhari said.
Amid the many political figures stood out the absence of former Lebanese President Émile Lahoud, a major figure of the "Syrian" era, and pro-Syrian Shia party Hezbollah representatives. By contrast, the Druze delegation was already present at the Patriarchate in the morning.
The formal aspects of the ceremony notwithstanding, the liturgical service saw huge crowds with people coming from every part of the country. Since the morning, families, groups and single individuals attended the hourly Masses, praying in the small church of the patriarchate before the body of the late cardinal.
"He is the father of all the Maronites," said a man from Tabarja, "the father of our Church; a man of rare strength whose contribution is as important as that of Saint Maron, the first Maronite patriarch."
Echoing such view, Maha, a woman who came from Ksara along with a religious fraternity, said that "Someone wanted to make him a partisan of this or that faction." In reality, "Patriarch Sfeir was simply a nationalist who fought against injustice and defended Lebanon in all its denominational and partisan components. I waited for his homily every Sunday. He embodied our only hope against the [Syrian] occupation."

A: As Mono and HimBromBeere already mentioned, your question is a bit difficult to understand, but I will try anyway.
It seems like your want to know later in your code, if a certain error message was found. You can simply remember this in a bool variable, for example:
bool errorMessage2WasFound = false;

for (int m = 0; m < listBox3.Items.Count; m++)
{
     if (listBox3.Items[m].ToString() == errorMessage2)
     {
         writerWCC.WriteLine(data[i]);
         listBox2.Items.Add(data[i]);
         errorMessage2WasFound = true;
         break;
     }
}

if (errorMessage2WasFound)
{
   // do what you want to do in this case
}

Frankie Edgar reveals why he is retiring after UFC 281: "I feel great"

Former UFC champion Frankie Edgar will call it a career after a legendary 15-year run in the promotion.
Frankie Edgar is set to take on fellow 135lber Chris Gutierrez at UFC 281 in Madison Square Garden in what will be the final bout of the 41-year-olds career.
Competing from lightweight to bantamweight, Frankie Edgar has taken on and beaten some of the who's who of the lighter weight classes but now over 17 years since his professional debut he knows it is the right time. Talking to MMAFighting, Edgar revealed that it was time to spend more time with his family.
"It's a lot of things I would think," Edgar told MMA Fighting. "Kind of the way my fights have been going as of late led to that as well. My body, I am getting older. I feel great. In camp, I'm such a strong minded person that I always have great camps. I always feel good but the body takes its toll throughout the years and I just want to move on and see what's next.
"I know I can't fight forever. I could definitely string it on a couple more years probably but I know I'll never move onto what's the next chapter in my life. I think now I'm being selfish when I'm still trying to chase this and I've got a family and kids that want to have goals of their own. They want me around and probably want me to be able to speak good and have my wits about me. I just now is probably the best time."
Edgar was also honest about the potential head injuries that can come with competing in sport like MMA but says that he feels no ill effects.

"It's definitely in the back of your mind," Edgar said. "You can't help but hear talks of that in sports and especially in our sport but across all sports. It's not like I notice anything like oh man, I'm forgetful or I'm slurring my words but I don't know if that's how it works. Does it happen one day, you wake up and you're messed up or does it happen gradually? Who knows.
"I'm going to be 41 next week and I feel like I'm somewhat coherent, maybe not the most, but I guess good enough for now so maybe leave well enough alone." (H/T MMAFighting)

UAE's TAQA starts selling power from India hydropower project
Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) said that the Sorang hydropower project at full capacity can supply emissions-free electricity to 500,000 homes.
DUBAI: A government-owned power utility firm in the UAE said it has started selling electricity from its 100 megawatt run-of-the-river hydropower project in Himachal Pradesh to help meet India's growing energy demands.
"We are keen to participate in meeting India's growing energy needs through the completion of this project which provides cost-efficient power and helps develop renewable energy sources," chairman Saeed Mubarak Al-Hajeri said.
TAQA, meaning energy in Arabic, is an international energy and water company listed in Abu Dhabi and operating in 11 countries across four continents.
"Sorang is our third major project to be completed this year, with two other projects set for completion by the end of 2015," he said yesterday.
The Sorang project is powered by the Sorang Khad river which originates in the Himalayas. It uses run-of-the-river technology to convert the river's natural water flow to electricity, eliminating the need for a reservoir.
"I would like to congratulate our team in India for safely completing this very challenging project in difficult terrain. This has been achieved largely thanks to a disciplined approach to project execution as well as the strong partnerships we have built with the local community and government" Al-Hajeri said.
The facility started supplying power to northern India on October 31. TAQA's India operations also include a 250 megawatt lignite power station in the Neyveli region of southern India.

Russian GP 2015
Rosberg Retires as Hamilton Closes in on Third Championship
Nico Rosberg's title challenge is all but over after he retired from the lead of the Russian grand prix and handed the win to team mate Lewis Hamilton; who now only needs two points to clinch his third world championship. Sebastian Vettel came home in second place whilst Sergio Perez finished a spectacular third place. But, unfortunately for Perez and Force India, it was the retirement of Rosberg that caused a lot of the talk after the race. Having taken pole position on the Saturday, Rosberg made a brilliant start and kept the lead into the first corner, something that has somewhat eluded him in recent races. No doubt he would have had last year's nightmare start on his mind, where he out braked himself into turn 1, ruining his tyres and his race. No such problem this time though as he kept Hamilton behind him and set about building a gap. However, Rosberg's luck just wasn't there again, as he seemed to have a problem on lap 6. By lap 8, he had pulled into his pit box and turned the engine off. His race and championship were over. For Hamilton though, it was another casual Sunday afternoon drive for the British driver, who cruised another win closer to equalling Ayrton Senna's haul of three World Championships.
Perez's Quality Shining Unnoticed
Over the last few years, it has been Nico Hulkenberg that has grabbed the headlines as F1's most underrated, should be in a top car driver, and obviously with great justification. He won the Le Man 24hours in June, and constantly displays his talent at every event. His team mate Sergio Perez seemingly had his shot at a top drive at McLaren and blew it massively, not displaying the talent that saw him replace Lewis Hamilton for the 2013 season. 2013 wasn't the season that Perez thought it would be, with the team's decline starting steadily, with Perez's highest finish for the team a 4th place. We must not forget that this is a driver who could have, and probably should have, won the Malaysian grand prix in 2012 for Sauber, only to finish second behind Fernando Alonso. Throughout his time at Sauber, he showed just how good a driver he is, especially with his tyre management.
When the announcement came in near the end of the 2013 that Perez wouldn't be getting kept on at McLaren, there were a lot of people who thought that that was it for Perez and his F1 career. Step in Force India to save him from the F1 abyss and inject a resurgence into his career. Since he signed for Force India, he has been the Perez of old, with some really eye catching performances - especially this season. His confidence has came back which has been a key factor in his F1 stock rising again. What stands out most for me is that whilst Perez has had two podiums for the team, the more highly rated Hulkenberg has none. Potentially, Force India have one of the strongest driver line ups on the grid, if only they could produce the car to go with the talent they have in it.
Sainz Has Eventful Weekend
During qualifying, Carlos Sainz suffered what could only be described as a horror crash. Sainz crashed into the barriers at turn 13 at 200mph and hit the barrier with an impact around 46G. Sainz spent the night in hospital and many wondered if he would race at all on the Sunday. Unbelievably, Sainz was cleared to race and didn't look back. He did admit to feeling dizzy at the beginning of the race, which does throw questions about his fitness into the spotlight. Despite this, Sainz had a fantastic race and his retirement late on was very harsh on the young Spaniard. If Max Verstappen wasn't his team mate this season, I believe a lot of talk would have been about Sainz. If you look at the amount of times Sainz has retired from a points position, he would be right up there with Verstappen. Sainz's only issue with having Verstappen as a team mate is that Max is still on a learning curve, and can only get better. Sainz obviously is still very young and on a learning curve himself, and still has plenty of time to establish himself in Formula 1.

The Latitudes of Twilight in the North
Speaker: Professor Peter Davidson (University of Oxford)
12 February 14:15 to 15:45
Radcliffe Humanities building, Woodstock Road, Oxford Seminar Room
Professor Peter Davidson (University of Oxford) discusses The Latitudes of Twilight in the North in a lecture organised by the TORCH Nordic Network. One of the characteristics of northern places which has shaped their cultures is the fall of light, from the prodigal "white nights" of midsummer to the murktide of midwinter. Absolute presence and absence of light are crucial elements of northern experience, but it is the infinite gradations of twilight between which have had the greatest effect on the arts of the north. Conditions of half light, of rain-shadow and mist, of forest dimness or overcast industrial city are a constant of the poetry and of the painting of the north. It would be possible indeed to argue that one of the most distinctive elements in northern painting is its response to the lowered lights of evening, of overcast weather.
This talk will trace the emergence at the turn of the nineteenth century of schools of painting and writing which were fascinated by adverse weather and falling light, by belatedness and regret, and how this awareness of light conditions is itself a defining factor of "northness", setting itself in deliberate opposition to the static Mediterranean light which floods baroque landscape painting with an unwavering golden afternoon.

Non-Retroactivity of BIA Precedent Decisions: De Niz Robles v Lynch and Other Recent Court of Appeals Rulings
by David Isaacson, Associate with ABIL member, Cyrus D. Mehta
The Insightful Immigration Blog
Earlier this year, in Zombie Precedents, the Sequel, I discussed how the Second Circuit's April 2015 decision in Lugo v. Holder exemplified a better way of dealing with precedent decisions that had been overturned by a court. As I noted in that blog post, the Second Circuit remanded Lugo to the BIA not only to deal with the issue raised by the overturned precedent, but also to deal with a related question regarding the retroactivity of the BIA's decision in Matter of Robles-Urrea. In that regard, the Second Circuit's decision in Lugo forms part of an interesting trend regarding limits on the retroactivity of BIA decisions, most recently exemplified by the Tenth Circuit's decision last week in De Niz Robles v. Lynch.
The issue in De Niz Robles concerned the interaction of INA §245(i), 8 U.S.C. §1255(i), with INA §212(a)(9)(C)(i)(I), 8 U.S.C. §1182(a)(9)(C)(i)(I). The former provision, as has been discussed previously on this blog in a September 2010 post by Cyrus D. Mehta, allows adjustment of status by certain applicants who have entered without inspection, or are otherwise disqualified from adjustment under INA §245(a) and (c), if they are "grandfathered" as the principal or derivative beneficiaries of appropriate visa petitions or labor certification applications filed prior to April 30, 2001. The latter provision declares inadmissible those who have been unlawfully present in the United States for a year or more and have subsequently re-entered without inspection, subject to a potential waiver which must be sought 10 years after one's last departure from the United States. These provisions, as the 10th Circuit noted in De Niz Robles, are in some tension with one another.
Approximately ten years ago, the Tenth Circuit held in Padilla-Caldera v. Gonzales (Padilla-Caldera I), 426 F.3d 1294 (10th Cir. 2005), amended and superseded on reh'g, 453 F.3d 1237 (10th Cir. 2006), that §245(i) prevailed over §212(a)(9)(C)(i)(I), such that Mr. Padilla-Caldera could adjust status under §245(i) despite having been unlawfully present for over a year, left the United States in order to seek an immigrant visa, and ultimately re-entered without inspection. The BIA then held differently in Matter of Briones, 24 I&N Dec. 355 (BIA 2007), finding that inadmissibility under §212(a)(9)(C)(i)(I) prevented §245(i) adjustment. The Tenth Circuit, in Padilla-Caldera v. Holder (Padilla-Caldera II), 637 F.3d 1140 (10th Cir. 2011), deferred to this BIA decision pursuant to Chevron, U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837 (1984), and National Cable & Telecommunications Ass'n v. Brand X Internet Services ("Brand X"), 545 U.S. 967 (2005), finding it to be a reasonable interpretation of ambiguous statutory language.
In the meantime, however, between the time of Padilla-Caldera I and Matter of Briones, Mr. De Niz Robles had applied for adjustment of status under §245(i) based on Padilla-Caldera I. His application took so long to process that it was adjudicated after Padilla-Caldera II, and the BIA, applying that decision and Matter of Briones, denied Mr. De Niz Robles's application. He argued that this was an inappropriately retroactive application of Matter of Briones to an application filed before that decision was issued. The Tenth Circuit agreed.
As the Tenth Circuit pointed out, when Mr. De Niz Robles filed his application in 2007, he had the option of instead leaving the United States, and serving out the ten-year period before he could apply for a waiver of his inadmissibility under INA §212(a)(9)(C)(i)(I). In reliance on the case law as it existed at that time, specifically Padilla-Caldera I, he chose to apply for adjustment of status instead. The BIA, by applying Matter of Briones to Mr. De Niz Robles six years later in 2013, and defending that position on appeal in 2015, had put Mr. De Niz Robles in the position of having lost years of time that he could have spent towards the ten-year waiver qualification period—by now, he would have served out eight of the required ten years and been only two years away from being able to apply for a waiver, had he left. This, the Tenth Circuit said, was retroactive application of the Briones decision, and was not permissible.
When the BIA or a similar agency tribunal acts to overturn an existing decision via Brand X, the Tenth Circuit decided, it should be treated for retroactivity purposes similarly to an agency that declares its new policy through rulemaking. Although retroactive rulemaking is sometimes permitted, it is disfavored. Applying the factors that govern such a retroactive agency rulemaking, the Tenth Circuit determined that the reasonableness of Mr. De Niz Robles's reliance on Padilla-Caldera I, and the dire consequences to him if the BIA's ruling was allowed to stand, weighed particularly strongly in favor of finding that Briones should not be applied to him.
In this way, De Niz Robles went beyond what Lugo had done, flatly finding that it would be inappropriate to give retroactive effect to the BIA's ruling rather than merely remanding for further explanation of the point. This is partly because the context made clearer in De Niz Robles that there had in fact been a retroactive ruling. The Second Circuit in Lugo had asked the BIA to address, among other factors, "whether its holding in Matter of Robles-Urrea was a departure from prior law." Lugo, slip op. at 5. In De Niz Robles, the Tenth Circuit did not need to defer to the BIA on the analogous question, but was able to resolve it on its own: it was quite clear that Briones was a departure from prior law, at least within the jurisdiction of the Tenth Circuit, where it was contrary to Padilla-Caldera I.
The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit followed a similar path to the Tenth in Acosta-Olivarria v. Lynch, decided less than two months before De Niz Robles, on August 26, 2015. Like the Tenth Circuit, the Ninth had, prior to Matter of Briones, issued a decision allowing §245(i) adjustment despite inadmissibility under INA §212(a)(9)(C)(i)(I): Acosta v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 550 (9th Cir. 2006). Like the Tenth Circuit, after Briones, the Ninth Circuit had overruled its decision, in Garfias-Rodriguez v. Holder, 702 F.3d 504 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc), deferring to the BIA under Brand X. And like Mr. De Niz Robles, Mr. Acosta-Olivarria had applied for adjustment of status after his Circuit case law indicated he could do so, and before the BIA and Circuit told him he could not. The bottom line was the same in Acosta-Olivarria as in De Niz Robles: the Ninth Circuit held, over one judge's dissent, that the BIA's ruling in Briones could not be applied retroactively to Mr. Acosta-Olivarria, and so an immigration judge's order granting him adjustment of status, which had been set aside by the BIA, was reinstated.
De Niz Robles, Acosta-Olivarria and Lugo are not the only relatively recent decisions to reject or cast doubt on retroactive application of a BIA ruling. The Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit also did this in its July 2014 decision in Velasquez-Garcia v. Holder, 760 F.3d 571 (7th Cir. 2014). There, the Seventh Circuit rejected retroactive application of the BIA's decision in Matter of O. Vasquez, 25 I&N Dec. 817 (BIA 2012), interpreting the "sought to acquire" language of the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA).
As discussed in more detail by a number of posts on this blog and articles on our firm's website, INA §203(h)(1)(A), added by section 3 of the CSPA, requires that a child have "sought to acquire" lawful permanent residence within one year of visa availability in order to take advantage of protections under the CSPA that fix the child's age for purposes of derivative visa eligibility at a point younger than that child's actual biological age. The BIA held in Matter of O. Vasquez that absent "extraordinary circumstances", this provision could only be satisfied by the actual filing of an application for adjustment of status or of analogous forms and fees used to apply for an immigrant visa from the Department of State. (USCIS subsequently issued an interim Policy Memorandum elaborating on what it would consider to be extraordinary circumstances.) Prior to O. Vasquez, however, the BIA had in several non-precedential decisions been more lenient, allowing a broader set of "substantial steps" towards the obtainment of permanent residence to qualify as seeking to acquire for CSPA purposes. As discussed in a previous post on this blog, for example, the BIA's October 2010 unpublished decision in Matter of Murillo and other pre-2010 cases allowed such steps as hiring an attorney to meet the seeking-to-acquire requirement.
The Seventh Circuit in Velasquez-Garcia held that it would not be appropriate to apply the stricter O. Vasquez standard to those who may have complied with the prior, laxer standard of seeking to acquire before O. Vasquez was issued. As the Court of Appeals explained: "In light of the state of the law at the critical time, a reasonable person reasonably could have assumed that the [CSPA] did not require him to file an application within one year." Given the immense burden that applying the new rule retroactively would have imposed on Velasquez, and the tension between the effect of retroactive application and the remedial purpose of the CSPA to ameliorate the effect of administrative delays – among which the Seventh Circuit included the eight-year delay by the BIA before promulgating precedential guidance regarding "sought to acquire" in O. Vasquez – the Seventh Circuit held that Mr. Velasquez-Garcia should be permitted to proceed under the standard in effect prior to O. Vasquez.
These sorts of retroactivity issues can be expected to continue to arise in the future as the BIA aggressively uses its policymaking interpretative authority under Chevron and Brand X, at least when that authority is used to reinterpret a standard unfavorably to immigrants. (Changes in a rule which are more favorable to those affected by that rule are not the sort which raise retroactivity concerns under the case law, since allowing someone to apply for a benefit from which he or she previously was precluded does not raise the same unfairness concerns as a change in the other direction.) Under such circumstances, attorneys and clients should be alert for the possibility that the less-favorable BIA precedent may not apply retroactively, particularly to those who could potentially have relied on the prior state of the law. The issue of retroactivity is often a complicated one, but it is worth exploring in appropriate cases.


Matt at Machine is one of Australia's top custom motorcycle builders. So when a new bike rolls out of his workshop in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, it's an event. For his latest bike, Matt wanted a "reliable, fast Italian cafe racer suitable for long, mid- to high-speed freeway runs". So what better platform to start with than the original Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans? It's one of the most iconic motorcycles from the 70s: fast, stylish and oozing with character.
The Le Mans used the engine from the 850T, but with high compression pistons and performance-oriented 36mm Dell'Orto 'pumper' carbs. "I bought this Le Mans two years ago," says Matt. "It'd spent some time as a race bike, and was returned to road-going condition in the early 90s." The Guzzi's engine was already extensively modified, with a kit that increased capacity from 850 to 950cc, Carrillo rods, a hotter cam and 40mm carburetors. Matt was also pleased to find some very nice headwork to complement the larger-than-stock exhaust. To extract every last ounce of performance and reliability, Matt had the top end, the gearbox and the clutch tweaked by local legend Peter Roper—one of the world's foremost Moto Guzzi experts, who fortuitously lives a brisk half-hour ride away from Matt.
The bodywork is alloy, and it was fashioned by hand by Matt himself. There's a new front guard, fairing, dashboard, rear guard and tail section, and a cut-and-modified tank. It all hangs together beautifully, with just a simple paint stripe accentuating the bare metal shapes.
To hear what this glorious machine from Machine sounds like, check out this video on the Machine YouTube page. The next issue of Italian Motor Magazine will have the full story on the build, and more images. To make sure you don't miss it, subscribe here.

China's Tiangong-1 Space Station Falling Down

China has finally confirmed suspicions that their Tiangong-1 Space Station will fall from orbit at some point in 2017. The lack of any specific date, location or other normative information about how, where and why the space station will return to Earth or whether any parts are expected to reach the ground or even where any reentry might occur further reinforces the rumors that there is a problem with the station and the Chinese no longer are controlling its movements. The rumors started when the station was recently decommissioned and the Chinese astronauts were returned home early without any replacements being sent to the station. This had initiated the belief that the Chinese space station was damaged in some way but the fact that they are unsure as to where, when and not controlling how the rather large satellite space station would be reentering the atmosphere and whether the entire station will burn up in the atmosphere does present at least a small threat of landing on land and potential for it striking a populated area. Perhaps it is going to pay, well, at least give some a chance at immortality should they find themselves underneath the falling remnants of the Tiangong-1 Space Station.
China's Tiangong-1 Space Station
The Chinese have been utilizing the Tiangong-1 Space Station for approximately the last five years. The similarities between the United States Skylab and the Chinese Tiangong-1 Space Station are startling. Skylab remained in orbit for six years and the Chinese Tiangong-1 Space Station is predicted to make it approximately five years. Both stations were deserted and left lifeless at the mercy of nature simply waiting for gravity to work its unavoidable result. It remains to be seen if the crash of the Chinese Tiangong-1 Space Station will strike an inhabited area, the center of one of the Earth's oceans or what we usually describe as the middle of nowhere. Skylab caused minimal damage falling in one of those middle of nowheres, namely the Australian Outback and the oceans around Australia and northward into the Pacific Ocean. For now we can only guess as to where Tiangong-1 Space Station will come to Earth. One thing which we need to remember is that Skylab was an early space station made from a part of a Saturn-V rocket booster modified with floor platforms built inside (see montage below). Skylab was never planned on being a permanent station and in consideration of costs there were no thrust boosters which had the power to allow for making a planned reentry. There were orientation thrusters which could have reduced the station speed bringing it to earth faster, but that would have probably led to larger pieces reaching the ground. Modern satellites are required to have a reentry system and a plan for bringing it down over water and choosing an angle of entry which will allow for the maximum amount of the orbiter to burn up in the atmosphere. Yes, ending a satellites life is rocket science. What one wonders is why they do not use the Hollywood method for satellite removal and fire the rockets sending the satellite either into the sun or out towards Jupiter or simply out of the solar system. Perhaps the out of the solar system would need to understand the gravity of such a solution while aiming for the sun or Jupiter is using the gravity of the situation.
Skylab pictured as astronauts orbiting laboratory
on the third and final mission, known as
Skylab 4, in November 1973 and the
building of Skylab from a Saturn-V booster section
There should not be any great fears as over two thirds of the planet is covered with water and large areas of the land are sparsely populated. For those who live in large cities and have been convinced by the eco-fanatics that there are no open areas left on the Earth may we suggest you search for pictures of the steppes in Russia, anywhere in northern Africa and the Sahara Desert or the great plains of the United States, particularly in Nebraska or any of the numerous rain forests anywhere from Washington state to the Amazon. When the United States lost control of their primitive space station Skylab on July 11, 1979, and the seventy-seven ton orbiter rained down on the Thornton farm and house in the Australian Outback, another place of sparse population; that, it turns out, was very fortunate as there was one large section which did reach the ground largely intact, the station's oxygen tank as well as there were numerous smaller pieces including a smaller oxygen tank, a set of nitrogen tanks which powered the attitude thrusters, a refrigeration unit, and a structural ring from the outer hatch piece which is labeled "Airlock/Danger."
Skylab Oxygen Tank Largest Piece Striking Earth in Australian Outback
Skylab is one of the few NASA satellites which had pieces strike the Earth which they made little effort to claim and collect the debris. There was a $400.00 littering fine assessed by the town of Esperance, Australia submitted to NASA which was never paid; but there was also a $10,000.00 reward to be awarded to the first person to turn in a piece of the satellite at the offices of the San Francisco Examiner provided it was done within seventy-two hours (three days) from the reentry of Skylab which was awarded to seventeen year old Stan Thorton from Esperance. Hopefully the paper made a large deal as they probably doubted anybody in Australia would have heard of the offer, let alone fly to San Francisco to claim the prize. Hopefully Stan had a nice vacation in San Francisco paid for in mid trip by the San Francisco Examiner. Must have been nice and well-played Mr. Thorton.
The Russians also has their own space station named Mir. Mir was launched in two stages on February 20, 1986 and April 23, 1996. It finally crashed to the Earth on March 23, 2001. Mir was brought back under a controlled system of three steps using a booster attached to the station. The explanation can be read here. Today we have the International Space Station (ISS) which was a collaborative effort of the European Space Agency, Russia's Roscosmos, Canadian Space Agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (see symbols below). The ISS is presumed to be a long term station expected to serve on into the future and has been slowly added to over the years. How long it remains of use will depend upon planning with a mix of luck as a disastrous collision with any of the following: space debris, meteor, asteroid, comet or other natural space projectile; would be a disaster. The ISS has been an extravagantly expensive project and the cost was the likely reason we did not start building the double wheel luxurious space station like the one seen at the beginning of the movie "2001." Perhaps some day such a station will be built and it will likely say Sheraton Space Hotel at the docking station. We may as well face it that private monies will be what conquers space and initially only the wealthy will be able to afford space vacations and the rest of us will have to find employment to get into space, and the work will be as dangerous as it will be strenuous. Much of this future will not be happening in most of our lifetimes unless the miracles expected in biology in the coming near term are true and readily accessible to the average person. Otherwise we can only dream of our exciting vacation on one of the moons of Saturn.

The ISS has delivered some exciting discoveries, most intentional and some simple accidents happened upon through the actions of everyday life aboard the station. One example of an inadvertent discovery has been told of when astronaut Donald R. Pettit mixed salt, sugar, and coffee grounds in an inflated plastic bag and the different small pieces clumped rather than simply floating independently proving the theory of accretion as a vital and necessary stage for planetary formation. The discovery resulted from Pettit playing around on a Saturday morning only to have Stanley G. Love, whose training in planetary science involved asteroids and collisions, working spacecraft communications in Mission Control in Houston, Texas, who immediately realized the implications of this simplistic, gee-whiz demonstration. "Don!" Love exclaimed, "Do you realize you've just solved the middle stage of planetary accretion?"

Hear what former participants had to say about their experience
We look forward to welcoming thinktankers and policy entrepreneurs from around the world to the 2022 edition.
The School for Thinktankers is designed to prepare the next generation of think tank leaders. A think tank leader cannot rely solely on being a great researcher, they also must be managers, networkers, and communicators. Unfortunately, many researchers and think tankers do not get to build many of these skills during their careers; and by the time they are ready to take on leadership roles it is (almost) too late. The School for Thinktankers wants to remedy this problem by creating a space to learn about the many dimensions of working in, and leading, a policy research centre.
Taught by senior thinktankers and expert practitioners, the programme has a practical approach. It is designed to:
Prepare and inspire the next generation of think tank leaders
Build a community of emerging think tank leaders to support and learn from each other
Encourage participants to reflect on their own organisation and how to support its development
Programme and delivery
The School for Thinktankers is unique in the knowledge that participants acquire and the networks they build. The structure and delivery of the course has been planned to ensure learning and to maximise engagement between participants and facilitators.
The School for Thinktankers 2022 will cover the following:
Think tanks and evidence-informed policy
Policy relevant research
Fundraising and financial management
Cross-cutting issues (included through the course): setting up a think tank, transparency, and credibility in think tanks etc.
The programme includes:
How-to videos. 15-minute pre-recorded lectures delivered by experts in the field and structured to convey information and explain an issue, emphasising good practice on how to approach the issue. Here is a sneak peek of what you can expect from the how-to videos.
Live sessions. Two-hour sessions with experienced thinktankers. Presenters will give a presentation and engage in a dialogue where participants can ask specific questions, engage with experts, and discuss with their peers.
Networking activities. Embedded in the programme are networking activities for participants to get to know each other, the experts, and facilitators.
Background materials. Participants will receive a background note and a reading list for each module.
Discussion with peers and experts. Through a dedicated platform and during the live sessions participants will engage in guided discussions to enhance their practice and knowledge.
At the end of the training, participants who have successfully completed the course will receive a certificate. The criteria to receive this certificate includes: attending 10 live sessions and engaging in peer discussions in at least four of the modules.
Our approach focuses on learning by doing, with real case studies, in a collaborative environment. The School for Thinktankers:
Is based on evidence. It draws on adult learning theories and builds on lessons learnt during our work and previous experiences delivering training.
Encourages participants to collectively bring and reflect critically on their experience, and on the lessons and experiences shared in the programme.
Helps participants to address and propose solutions for ongoing professional issues.
Provides participants with new tools to try new approaches in their workplace.
Promotes engagement between participants, trainers, and course facilitators to build a community of learning, acknowledging that learning and professional growth is usually a social process in which conversation and feedback are vital.
Enables participants to receive individual guidance and supervision from experienced thinktankers coming from a range of backgrounds and social contexts.
Provides learning materials in various formats as well as actionable outputs, which participants can adapt and use in their organisations.
Trainers include directors and former directors at leading think tanks. In previous editions we have had trainers from the Overseas Development Institute, Chatham House, foraus, The Graduate Institute, Belgrade Center for Security Studies and Centre for Economic Policy Research.

«АЗ Гавиржов» () — чешский клуб по хоккею с шайбой из Гавиржова. Основан в 1928 году.

История
Первые матчи по хоккею в окрестности деревень, находившихся на месте города Гавиржова, были проведены в 1928 году. В 1931 году был образован профессиональный клуб КЧТ «Лэзи», названный в честь угольной шахты «Лэзи». Деревни были объединены в город Гавиржов в 1955 году. В 1968 году клуб был переименован в «АЗ Гавиржов», в честь шахты имени Антонина Запотоцкого. В 1992 году команда вышла во вторую по силе лигу Чехии. В 1999 году клуб купил лицензию у «Слезана» и стал выступать в экстралиге. В сезоне 2002/03 «АЗ Гавиржов» уступил в квалификационном турнире клубу «Кладно» и выбыл в первую лигу. В 2010 году клуб по финансовым соображениям не смог выступать в лиге и перешёл в третью по силе лигу страны, но уже в 2013 году вернулся в лигу 1. Из известных хоккеистов, выступавших за «Гавиржов» можно выделить двукратного чемпиона России Яна Петерека. Самым знаменитым хоккеистом, уроженцем Гавиржова, безусловно является звезда клуба НХЛ «Бостон Брюинз» Давид Пастрняк.
