Distribution of technetium-99m-labeled multilamellar liposomes in patients with Hodgkin's disease
R. Perez-Soler, G. Lopez-Berestein, L. P. Kasi, F. Cabanillas, M. Jahns, H. Glenn, E. M. Hersh, T. Haynie
The distribution of 99mTc-labeled multilamellar liposomes composed of dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DMPG) at a molar ratio of 7:3, administered intravenously, was studied in 10 patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD). The dose of lipid was 150 mg/m2 and the mean dose of radioactivity injected per patient was 8.1 mCi (range 6.7-9.8). Whole-body imaging techniques were used, and for each organ an uptake index was calculated as the percent photographic density (PD) relative to the PD of the liver. Results were compared to those in a group of 6 patients with other malignancies. Increased liposome uptake in several skeletal areas was observed in one patient with HD with diffuse bone involvement and in the bone marrow of 2 patients with HD with bone marrow involvement. No definite liposome uptake was observed in lymph nodes involved by HD or in tumor areas of patients with other malignancies. Patients with HD had a significantly higher uptake by bone marrow (23.8% compared with 10.2% at 4 hr, p = 0.02), and lungs (59.6% compared with 25.0% at 4 hr, p = 0.01) than patients with other malignancies. Among patients with HD, the uptake by bone marrow and lungs were higher in those with constitutional symptoms (bone marrow at 4 hr 31.4% compared with 16.2%, p = 0.02; lungs at 4 hr 68.8% compared with 50.4%, p = 0.19) and with liver involvement (bone marrow at 4 hr 30.8% compared with 16.8%, p = 0.03; lungs at 4 hr 73.6% compared with 45.6%, p = 0.03). These results suggest that patients with HD have a different pattern of distribution of multilamellar liposomes which may be related to a combination of nonspecific stimulation of the reticuloendothelial system and tumor uptake. It does not appear that liposomal 99mTc is capable of adequately imaging HD for clinical diagnosis.

Q: Intent for call does not open dialer I am using Intent to make calls from my app.
Here is the onClick for the TextView on which if the user clicks I want to open the dialer:
txtCall1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                  public void onClick(View arg0) {
                      Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
                      callIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
                      callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:"+ci.getContactPhone1()));
                      startActivity(callIntent);
                  }
              });

My problem is that with Api level 12 devices instead of dialer a dialog opens which asks to add the number to contact. This is not the case for Api level 19 or 18.
This is tools I am using. I have just updated my everything.

A:
My problem is that with Api level 12 devices instead of dialer a dialog opens which asks to add the number to contact

That is because API Level 12 devices (Android 3.1) all were tablets without dialers.

What am I supposed to do?

Ignore API Level 12, as approximately zero devices use it.
Beyond that, if your app must run on a phone, add <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony"/> to your manifest, to indicate that your app requires telephony capability, so you are not distributed to tablets without dialers.

Guided by two powerful speakers, Caitlin Childs and DeAmon Harges, this interactive workshop will take participants through the basics of ABCD while offering practical tools that you can put into practice in your communities, schools and organizations. Choose one of the Part I workshops and consider signing up for Part II on Saturday afternoon for a more intensive training.
Caitlin Childs and DeAmon Harges have a friendship based on trust, understanding and healing. Over the past 7 years they have used their connections to make social change with the people with whom they work and live. In their community-building work, they use a variety of tools and practices including Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), popular education, intentional listening, and art to creatively generate sustainable dialogue and action.
At Broadway United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, DeAmon Harges is the original "Roving Listener." By listening, he discovers the gifts, passions, and dreams of citizens in his neighborhood, using them to build community, economy, and mutual delight. DeAmon's work is based in the Asset-Based Community Development Institute (ABCD), joining neighbors and institutions to discover the power of being a good neighbor. His organization, The Learning Tree, brings those ideas and others to the forefront of community and organizational life. As an artist, DeAmon uses his art for social change and community building. He characterizes his work as "deep listening" and "positive deviance" a big difference from typical models of neighborhood organizing.

DOL Surpasses Government Target for High Value datasets
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor today made six high-value datasets publicly available — twice the number designated as the first target in the Obama Administration's Open Government Initiative. The datasets released today include information from the department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which will make it possible for anyone in the public to better track health and safety conditions in the American workplace. Earlier this month — two weeks ahead of schedule — the Labor Department launched its own transparency Web page (http://www.dol.gov/open). The page tracks the department's efforts to comply with the administration's Open Government Directive.
"This administration's efforts to transform the federal government into a transparent institution are unprecedented and a testament to our president's commitment to promote and facilitate the involvement of Americans in their government," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "I am proud of the important steps that my department already has taken to improve transparency, and I look forward to building on them."
Aside from the six datasets released today, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics previously released dozens of datasets highlighting employment projections, trends, surveys and statistics, and OSHA made available a dataset to report weekly fatalities and catastrophes as reported by its area offices.
In accordance with the administration's Open Government Directive issued in December 2009, the Department of Labor uploaded the information released today to Data.gov. The administration's directive established a new standard for government agencies, insisting that by specific dates they achieve key milestones in transparency, collaboration and participation.
The six datasets released today by the Department of Labor are listed below:
OSHA Data Initiative — Establishment Specific Injury and Illness Rates
http://www.data.gov/details/1461 Also see on OSHA's Web site at http://www.osha.gov/pls/odi/establishment_search.html
Each year, OSHA collects work-related injury and illness data from employers within specific industry and employment size specifications. This data collection is known as the OSHA Data Initiative or ODI. The data are used by OSHA to calculate establishment specific injury and illness incidence rates. Data from 1996 to 2007 are searchable online.
Department of Labor Research and Evaluation Inventory
http://www.data.gov/details/1376
This inventory is the first phase in the development of a single repository of all completed and planned research and evaluation projects that have or will be conducted by the Labor Department during the upcoming calendar year.
This dataset includes: a title and description of each project; the date the project began; the date the project was published with a link to completed research and evaluation project outcomes as these become available; and information on contract or grant resources, if applicable. The database will be updated on a monthly basis.
Project GATE (Growing America Through Entrepreneurship)
Project GATE was a random-assignment demonstration project designed to help public workforce system clients create, sustain or expand their own businesses. A total of 4,198 applicants to Project GATE were randomly assigned to either the program group or the control group. This set represents the final data from the evaluation and includes administrative data from the six- and 18-month follow-ups and survey data from the six-, 18- and 60-month follow-ups of program participants.
Public Workforce System Dataset (PWSD)
The PWSD is a dataset that can be used to answer questions about various public workforce system programs and how these programs fit in with the overall public workforce system and the economy. It was designed primarily to be used as a tool to understand what has been occurring in the Wagner-Peyser program and contains data from quarter one of 1995 through quarter four of 2008. Also, it was designed to understand the relationship and flow of participants as they go through the public workforce system.
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Net Impact Evaluation Dataset
The evaluation employs administrative data from 12 states, covering approximately 160,000 WIA participants and nearly 3 million comparison group members. Focusing on participants who entered WIA programs between July 2003 and June 2005, the evaluation considers the impact for all those in the program, the impact for those receiving only core or intensive services, and the incremental impact of training services.
Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) Registered Farm Labor Contractor Listing
The MSPA requires a contractor to obtain federal certification prior to performing any farm labor contracting activities.

I believe that watches are the most important accessory we often wear, especially for those who have busy schedules. I honestly feel naked without a watch. For me, it does not only help us keep track of time, but it also completes and boosts our outfits. Colorful watches usually matches a quirky and fun outfit, while gold and silver ones are for classic looks. But if you are donning a preppy style, Daniel Wellington watches are for you!
Daniel Wellington was founded in Sweden by Filip Tysander and was inspired by a gentleman from the British Isles who had an impeccable style, and loved to wear his Rolexes on old weathered Nato straps. Of course, this gentleman is Mr. Daniel Wellington.
What Daniel Wellington watches have as compared to other watches is their thin and elegant watches which have a clean design and without too many features. The Daniel Wellington watch is suitable for every occasion. Regardless if you're attending a black tie event, playing a game of tennis or enjoying a sunny day at the beach club – the Daniel Wellington is a beautiful companion.
You'd think I'm crazy if I told you that I love Daniel, but not till you personally see the gorgeous watch I got. The Classic Sheffield Lady, from the Classy Collection, has a genuine black leather band, rose gold ring color (also available in silver), and eggshell white clock face. It costs $199. But believe me, this classy and elegant watch is definitely worth it!
Daniel Wellington watches also have interchangeable straps to suit your mood and style. Nato straps originate from the British navy, where divers would use the strong nylon straps over their wet suits. Even though they were originally made to avoid rust, they match the watches perfectly with their look and versatility.
Can't enough of these classic and timeless watches? Get your own Daniel Wellington watches now at http://www.danielwellington.com/. They ship worldwide, including the Philippines, so you could avail of these watches wherever you are. Don't forget to use the discount code, mishrendon, to get 15% off your purchases!
*Discount code valid until August 10, 2013.
I really like the ones on the last picture.
Unfortunately I'm not able to use watches many times as I used to but I have already fell in love with DW watches.
I love this type of watch on ladies, they are pure elegance!

I am a lifelong member of IHM and I love to be able to continue my family's tenure here as IHM parishioners. My grandparents have been members of the parish since its founding in 1954. It was here at IHM that I was baptized, received my 1st Communion, was confirmed as well as married. I am also a graduate of IHM!
I am proud of the fact that I am not only professionally invested in Immaculate Heart of Mary; I am personally invested as well. I am a lifelong resident of Boone County; I attended Conner High School and eventually went on to graduate with a Bachelor's in Education from Northern Kentucky University and my Master's degree through Xavier University. My husband Tim and I have three wonderful daughters; Maria, Noelle and Faith, and all three of them are students here at IHM.
Teaching is not just my job, but my vocation. I love being in the classroom and interacting daily with young fresh minds! Children have so much to offer the world! The rewards of seeing students succeed, learn and grow are what make this job the best job in the world!

American Labor Activists rally to build support for the Employee Free Choice Act, 2003
02 December, 2003 to 10 December, 2003
Zach Lytle, 28/05/19
The AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in the United States, moved to counteract the shrinking union strength and the ever growing corporate power via legislation, the Employee Free Choice Act. Andy Levin and Stewart Acuff, two veteran union organizers, spearheaded the effort. In the summer of 2003, Acuff and Levin agreed on what the act would entail.
Armenians protest for resignation of Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan, 2018
31 March, 2018 to 8 May, 2018
Nerissa Nashin, 28/04/2019
Since gaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Armenia has spent almost two decades as a quasi-authoritarian state with the ruling Republican Party controlling most of its political, economic, and social institutions. Serzh Sargsyan became President in 2008 and under his rule, Armenia endured slow economic growth, high unemployment rates, and corruption.
Brown University students campaign for Brown to cancel contract with Adidas, 2012-2013
November, 2012 to 24 April, 2013
Zach Lytle, 02/05/2019
PT Kizone, an apparel factory in Tangerang, Indonesia, held major contracts with Nike and Adidas. In September of 2010, the factory started to withhold its workers' severance pay. In January 2011, the factory failed to pay its workers their monthly compensation. At the end of the month, the owner of PT Kizone, Jin Woo Kim, fled to his home country of South Korea. The factory declared bankruptcy and closed on 1 April 2011. PT Kizone fired all its workers, to whom the factory owed $3.4 million in severance compensation.
Nigerians strike to protest reduced fuel subsidies, 2003
30 June, 2003 to 8 July, 2003
5.5 out of 10 points
Meghan Kelly, 29/11/2015
Nigeria, the most populous African country, is filled with oil reserves, particularly in the Niger River Delta. Oil was the main national export, comprising 98% of Nigeria's export earnings and 83% of government revenue in 2002. Starting in the mid-1980s, the Nigerian government subsidized fuel, letting Nigerians buy oil and gasoline at prices significantly below market levels.
Chilean students protest for free public education, 2011-13
March, 2011 to November, 2013
Meghan Kelly, 20-09-2015
On 11 September 1973, Chilean dictator Augusto Pinoche came to power and during the 1970s, he privatized Chile's education system. The central government gave money to some private schools, while the public schools remained grossly underfunded. This commercialization of education began a legacy of educational attainment disparity along socioeconomic class lines—the poor received poor quality education, received jobs that paid meager wages, and remained poor, while the wealthy received high quality education, went on to university, and obtained well-paying jobs that increased their wealth.
Citizens stop development companies' destruction of bay habitat in Manatee County, Florida, 2013
6 June, 2013 to 23 December, 2013
Erica Janko 07/04/2015
On 6 June 2013, developers Carlos Beruff and Larry Lieberman asked
Florida's Manatee County Commission for environmental exceptions and
zoning changes to Long Bar Pointe, a 523-acre area of land along
Sarasota Bay. In 2012, Lieberman, the land's owner, as well as the
president and founder of Sarasota's Barrington Group, partnered with
Beruff of Medallion Homes to complete the development project. Beruff
and Lieberman aimed to build a 300-room hotel, two retail centers, a
convention center, 1,086 single-family homes, 1,587 low-rise multi
Nigerians Protest Removal of Fuel Subsidy, 2012
1st January, 2012 to 16th January, 2012
Timothy Hirschel-Burns 03/29/2015
On 1 January 2012, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan abruptly removed
the fuel subsidy provided to citizens by the government. Finance
Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala championed the decision and the country's
citizens received no prior warning. The government argued that the
removal of the heavy subsidy would free up funds for other public
services, including health and infrastructure projects, and that the
liberalization of the fuel industry would benefit the economy. They
also argued that the primary beneficiaries of the subsidy were the
Writers Guild of America strikes to increase funding for writers from large studios, 2007-2008
May, 2007 to February, 2008
In the early 2000s, as technological advancements expanded media
sources, media writers faced challenges receiving compensation for their
work that producers redistributed online and through television reruns.
The Writers Guild of America (WGA), comprised of the Writers Guild of
America, West (WGAW) and the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE)
represented the interests of over 12,000 "writers in the motion picture,
broadcast, cable, and new media industries in both entertainment and
news." On 18 May 2007, the WGA released a "Pattern of Demands" to the

Australians Blockade World Economic Forum - 2000
11-SEP, 2000 to 13-SEP, 2000
Jamie Irwin, 03/22/2015
The World Economic Forum (WEF) coordinated cooperation and activities for the largest and most influential corporations in the world and governments. According to one self-definition, it "engages political, business, academic and other leaders of society in collaborative efforts to shape global, regional and industry agendas." Each year, WEF held regional meetings of 1000+ attendees. These leaders dominated the setting of economic and social policy around the world and promoted free trade and deregulation, often referred to as a "neo-liberal" agenda.
French Students and Workers Strike Against Sarkozy's Austerity Policies, 2009
January, 2009 to March, 2009
Stephen O'Hanlon 23/02/2015
The French General Strikes in 2009 came during the first quarter of the country's recession and was the first general strike in an industrialized nation since the global financial crisis in 2007 and 2008. Economic forecasts predicted that the economy would contract by 2 percent in 2009 and that unemployment would reach 10 percent by 2010. In response to these poor economic predictions, French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced a $34 billion stimulus plan in December, which included capital infusions to banks of more than $11 billion.
South Korean campaigners prevent government intention to weaken unions and facilitate lay-offs, 1997
December, 1996 to March, 1997
Dong Shin You, 02/22/2015
President Kim Young Sam started his first attempt at changing labour laws in April, 1996. The government formed the Labour-Management Relations Reform committee composed of labour group leaders, management community, academics, and civic groups. It was the first attempt by the South Korean government to reform the country's authoritarian labour relations, and labour unions were hopeful of structural changes that would guarantee their long-delayed rights.
Belgian Workers Strike against Austerity, 1960-61 ("Winter Strike")
1960-1961, 1960 to 1961, 1961
Clare Perez, 2/3/2015
The Belgian workers strike of 1960-61, often referred to as "Winter Strike" or "The Strike of the Century", was considered to be one of the most important Belgian strikes of the 20th century. Strike history in Belgium had always been slightly unconventional compared to Northern European, North American, and French and Italian strikes. Differences existed in the frequency of strikes, the size of the strikes, as well as the duration. Belgium had frequent strikes pre World War II, and this history of striking contributed to the success of the Winter Strike.
French public sectors strike against the Juppe Plan 1995
September, 1995 to December, 1995
Jacques Chirac became president of France with a majority 53 to 47 vote in a close May 1995 presidential election. Chirac had little time to celebrate, however. Chirac faced the daunting tasks of fixing France's waning economy and addressing widening social inequality. At the time, France's economy was limping along with unemployment at 12.3% - higher than any other leading industrialised nation.
Syracuse University workers strike for pay equity and job security, 1998
August, 1998 to September, 1998
Guido Girgenti, 25/4/2014
On 30 June 1998, the contract between Service Employees International Union Local 200A (SEIU) and Syracuse University (SU) expired. Preceded by two months of negotiation, SU made a final offer for a new contract before the 30 June deadline.
University of Virginia Students Hunger Strike for a Living Wage for Staff 2012
February 17, 2012 to March 1, 2012
Tom McGovern 14/04/2014
Students, faculty, and staff at the University of Virginia began the first of a series of campaigns to improve the wages and working conditions of the University's lowest paid employees in 1997. In 2006, students and faculty who identified themselves as members of the Living Wage Campaign conducted a year-long nonviolent struggle to raise the wages of the lowest paid University workers, which culminated with 17 students staging a sit-in in the President of the University's office for four days before being arrested.
Indigenous Peoples in Bangladesh Protest to Stop Open Pit Coal Mine 2006-2014
26 August, 2006 to 6 February, 2014
Andrés Cordero and Ryan Leitner 02/04/2014
Phulbari is a region in the northwest region of Bangladesh. It is an important agricultural region that is also home to low quality coal deposit. Several companies have proposed to use the open pit technique for mining the coal, which would displace thousands of people, many of them indigenous people. The proposed mining projects would destroy farmland, homes, and divert water sources to be used in the mining process.
KMPX San Francisco Radio Workers Strike 1968
March, 1968 to May, 1968
In the 1960's, San Francisco was a center of the youth counterculture that was spreading across the United States. The civil rights movement, the Black Power movement, the Red Power movement, the Feminist movement, and LGBQT movement had all been challenging the dominance of the governing political elite.
Students and staff at the College of William and Mary campaign for higher wages for housekeepers 2010-2011
September, 2010 to September, 2011
Beginning in 1999 and lasting into 2001, students at William and Mary and members of the Tidewater Labor Support Committee (TSLC) carried out what they called a "Living Wage Campaign," during which they protested and petitioned the school's administration to raise the salary for housekeepers employed by the college. The campaigners declared victory after the administration conceded to raising wages of the housekeepers to $8.29 per hour, which was far from their original goal, and ceased their campaign in 2001.
Lawrence Mill Workers strike against wage cuts, 1919
3 February, 1919 to 23 May, 1919
Kerry Robinson 16/02/2014
In 1919, the United Textile Workers and Central Labor Union, in
a rush of union activity, managed to shorten the work week from 54 hours to 48
hours. The unions negotiated this reform by making a concession of an overall
cut in wages, which were already below the cost of living. Immigrant workers at
textile mills in Lawrence, Massachusetts welcomed the change in hours, but
could not afford a decrease in wages. Aware of a successful strike involving
immigrant workers in Lawrence back in 1912, the mill workers decided to use the
same tactic to combat the wage decrease.
Wesleyan student-labor coalition wins living wages and unionization for campus janitors, 1999-2000
October, 1999 to April, 2000
Guido Girgenti, 02/02/2014
From the mid-1990s into the early 2000s a wave of economic justice activism swept through college campuses in the United States, spurred in large part by the global justice movement's spotlighting of corporate malfeasance in the United States and especially in the global South. Seeking to fight in solidarity with underpaid and unprotected laborers, a number of college campuses launched campaigns demanding their universities end the purchasing of apparel produced in sweatshops. Between 1999 and 2000, 18 campus campaigns used sit-ins and building occupations in pursuit of this goal.
Australian Aboriginal workers strike for fair wages and equality, 1946-1949
1 May, 1946 to Spring, 1949
Dylan Cohen, 18/10/2013
In 20th century Australia indigenous workers were treated completely differently from the Caucasian settlers on the continent. Until the 1920s, for example, Aboriginals employed at pastoral stations in Australia received rations of clothing and food instead of cash wages.
Spanish Indignados protest austerity measures, 2011
13 May, 2011 to 4 August, 2011
Zachary Arestad, 21/10/2013
The economic crisis which began in 2008 hit Spain harder than any other country in the European Union. They set eurozone records in 2011 with 21.3% unemployment and 43.5% youth unemployment. In an attempt to put a stop to the rapid collapse of the Spanish economy, the government passed sweeping employment changes in 2010. These changes made it easier for employers to hire and fire workers and increased the retirement age from 65 to 67.
Greek citizens protest austerity package 2011
May, 2011 to September, 2011
Rachel Vogel, 13/10/2013
In early 2011, the Greek state developed a plan of austerity measures to meet its debt repayments. Due to major financial problems, it had just failed to meet the budget targets established in 2010 when it received a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Eurozone. The new proposal to be voted on in June 2011, called "The Medium Term Economic Program," included the privatization of a number of industries and utilities including but not limited to power and water companies, ports, banks, and the train operator.
British win repeal of Poll Tax (flat tax), 1989-1990
Spring, 1989 to November, 1990
Ojas Chinchwadkar 9/22/13
Margaret Thatcher was reelected for her third term in 1987. One of the changes she promised to implement was to levy a flat tax that she called a "Community Charge," although it became popularly known as the poll tax. A flat tax means that everybody, regardless of wealth, has to pay the same amount. The tax was to be set in the 1989-1990 financial year in Scotland, and in the 1990-1991 financial year in England. However, it was unpopular from the moment she proposed it, and she met resistance from both the people and her party.


I love how Sam can fly in a regular cap and no goggles. I guess my windscreen isn't large enough, but I can't stand the wind blowing into my eyes, even around glasses.
The cap is one I found only after considerable internet searching, think it is a shooting or driving hat or something like that. The short bill is attached to the cap and it won't blow away like a regular hat. I lucked out with the windscreen on the D.VII, it has three panes and is just large enough to avoid having to use googles.
That whole center line thing is me being a bit paranoid about the rudder losing authority at lower speeds, particularly since I land under power.
I tend to force the tail down a bit too early, and thanks to being short coupled (and my wheel bearings being a bit ragged) it's a tad wiggly for a few feet.
Btw, I experimented with the whole "keep the tail up as long as one can" thing to see what would happen. Hilarity is what happens - that is to say one laughs about it after the fact.
You and me both. My eyes really can't stand the wind blowing around, yet I know Fly Baby guys who fly without goggles and don't have any problems.
My eyes have always been sensitive, though. I wonder if the folks who get by without goggles are contact wearers, and are a bit more accustomed to stuff being around the eyes.
Bought a nice one in Ireland a couple of years back...in fact, the men of the whole group I was with bought them. Got back to the US, and a friend told me that in Britain, these are known as "rat catcher" hats...as they're the type of headgear often worn by men of that class.
Edit: Found a site that advertises them as "ratcatchers".

Funny, I've never felt the need for goggles in any of the open cockpit aircraft I've owned. I've tried them just to see what it was like, didn't like the tunnel vision. Even in completely open (no windshield) ultralights, I wore sunglasses or clear safety glasses just to guard against bugs.
Yet the old time aviators are all shown with goggles.

Q: What is the computational complexity class of thermal photon statistics I would like to know the computational complexity of the following formula for the variance of thermal photon statistics.
$$P(n)=\sum_{d=1}^D\prod_{m=1}^M\frac{1}{(1+\langle n_m \rangle)(1+\langle n_m \rangle^{-1})^{n_{m,d}}}$$$$\langle n\rangle=\sum_{n=0}^\infty nP(n)$$
$$\left\langle (\Delta n)^2\right\rangle=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \left(n-\langle n\rangle\right)^2P(n)$$
This will take some explanation so here goes, $n$ is the number of photons and is the discrete random variable, $m$ is the mode index, $M$ is the total number of modes and can be anything from $1\to\infty$, $d$ is the distribution index, $D=\frac{(n+M-1)!}{n!(M-1)!}$ and is the total number of possible distributions, $\langle n_m\rangle$ is the mode distribution - for example if $\langle n_0\rangle=3$ that means there are 3 photons on average in mode $m=0$, $n_{m,d}$ is the number of photons in mode $m$ and distribution $d$.
The problem is given $M\ge1$ and the set of average photon populations $\langle n_m\rangle$ what is the variance?
As $M$ and increases in size the problem becomes more and more complex; $n_{m,d}$ is essentially a $M\times D$ array for every $n$.
Is finding the variance (the third equation) a P, NP, EXPTIME or some other type of problem?
EDIT: It appears to me that this problem is similar to Chess in that finding a solution takes a lot of time, as well as checking a given solution. Also looking into the computational complexity it seems that the third equation gets more complex as $\sim O(k^N)$ where $N$ replaces infinity in the second and third equation, and $M$ is set to $N$. $k\approx 4$ for small $N$ but slowly gets smaller for larger $N$.


A component is a part of an asset that for any reason needs to be identified separately from its parent asset. Reasons may include a different useful life or maintenance regime.
The International Infrastructure Management Manual defines components as "specific parts of an asset having independent physical of functional identity and having specific attributes such as different life expectancy, maintenance regimes. risk or criticality."
An essential part of an asset which may be separately removed and replaced to extend the life of the asset. (e.g. road seal as a component of a road asset; or a roof as a component of a building asset.) - A Wealth of Opportunities.


War, violence, conflict and problems are the stuff of media. The "clash of civilizations" makes better copy for journalists than the "dialogue of civilizations," according to a prominent speaker at the sixth Doha Conference of Interfaith Dialogue, which concluded here yesterday.
"Surely it is not an overstatement to say that Western media tends to stir up Islamophobia, while Muslim media tends to stir up anti-Americanism and hatred of the West," said Love.
He said that the most typical form of violence perpetrated by religious communities is, perhaps, the "violence of words." What makes the violence of words particularly dangerous is the globalised, interconnected nature of the world.
"In this google-ized world, our words are likely to reach beyond our primary audience and enter the global marketplace of ideas," said Love. Citing several examples, he said violent words not only stir up hatred, but sometimes lead to death and destruction.
"Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations haunts us. Huntington would not want to say that the clash of civilizations is inevitable. But the way he arranged his evidence and the way he argues leads to these conclusions. Though he writes as a scholar and not as a religious leader, nevertheless his words can be construed as violent," said Love.

Tucked away in Oberlin Library's Special Collections is a Book of Hours (1523) by Venetian printer Gregorio de Gregoriis. Books of Hours were popular medieval prayer books across Europe, and Oberlin's text is particularly compelling as its full-page illustrations originate from an unknown French book printed roughly 35 years prior. My study places this book in its social context through investigating Books of Hours, the invention of print, book circulation, and early publishing in Paris and Venice. I also analyze the book's unique aspects, theorizing the origin of the French illustrations and their sometimes peculiar placement and repetition.

I'm writing this whole thing in org-mode. Here are some tips about how the project is structured.

## Header Args

It takes a while to evaluate each code block, so I've added this to each section:

```
  :PROPERTIES:
  :header-args: :eval no-export
  :END:
```

Then, on each exercise, to add to the default instead of wiping them out, I have a block like this:

```
**** Exercise 9.2: Computing Derivatives
     :PROPERTIES:
     :header-args+: :tangle ch9/ex9-2.scm
     :END:
```

## Publishing Text with Exercises

If you include `:comments org`, you'll get all of the surrounding context
spliced in around the exercises.

## Noweb

Say you want to show off some block of code, but splice it in later.

Tuchel looking forward to 'stress test' against Liverpool, Van Dijk
Pre-match thoughts from the Chelsea head coach
By David Pasztor and Fellipe Miranda Aug 27, 2021, 6:37pm BST
Share All sharing options for: Tuchel looking forward to 'stress test' against Liverpool, Van Dijk

Chelsea's biggest test by far in this early season will be tomorrow's trip to Anfield to take on Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool, who have made an excellent start to the Premier League, just as we have. (In fact, we have the identical record after the first two games: 2 wins, 5 goals scored, 0 conceded.)
It's a "huge" test, according to UEFA Men's Coach of the Year Thomas Tuchel, who will have a nearly full squad to choose from — Christian Pulisic (COVID isolation) and Kurt Zouma (impending transfer) are the only ones expected to be missing the trip.
Technical issues (not at my end) meant I missed the opening part of the PC. Team news is normally asked about in that section, but I can confirm that Chelsea are missing Christian Pulisic and Kurt Zouma for tomorrow's trip to take on Liverpool. #CFC #LIVCHE
— Vaishali Bhardwaj (@VaiBhardwaj) August 27, 2021
"Liverpool had a good start and we had a good start. Tomorrow we will fight from the first minute to get a good result, but it will be a huge challenge and no result will be a decision for the season.
"But of course we are fighting for it because this is the challenge where you need to prove, but we also want to prove ourselves."
Liverpool's failure to keep up with champions Manchester City last season was in a big part due to injuries, none bigger than Virgil van Dijk's ACL. After almost an entire year of recovery the defender is back with a vengeance, and his personal duel with Romelu Lukaku will go some ways towards determining tomorrow's result.
"I'm looking forward to it, and I think many fans of football are looking forward to that battle. But it's not only Lukaku versus Van Dijk, it's Liverpool against Chelsea.
"Of course also for Romelu it's a big challenge. He's had one match with us which was pretty impressive and a good start and from now on we are into details and adapting and to connecting better and better. The stress test is on tomorrow at Anfield, and we will see.
"But when we signed him we knew we were getting a very experienced player, in terms of playing big matches. He loves these kinds of stages and that's why I expect the best we can see from him right now. I'm not sure he has yet reached top level, maybe not, because he only has one game in his legs. But he will have a good match tomorrow, because he loves to play in these types of matches, he's a tough competitor, and against strong opponents."
But Tuchel's also confident that Chelsea can not only compete, but repeat our 1-0 victory from March, which was barely a month into his tenure at the club.
"It is a different Liverpool than without Van Dijk [and] it is a huge upgrade to last March and spectators too, they will be a big factor at Anfield so we will not be able to hear ourselves or maybe communicate as easily as it was without spectators.
"At the same time, we also feel very confident as we have known each other longer and have good experiences together and feel we can fight on this level."
-Thomas Tuchel; source: Football.London
No team's ever won or lost a league in the third match of a season. Win or lose, it will be important to keep that bigger picture in mind.
But if we talk about things like closing the gap and making a run at the title, these are the sorts of games that will be looked at for signs of progress and how well we're doing in those intentions.

'Look! He's got a camera! Get him!'
This is precisely what despots do. They run countries into the ground, then they shoot the messenger.
Venezuela recently cut off Spanish-language CNN in that country after the network broke the story that top Venezuelan authorities allegedly had been selling passports to Middle Easterners, including Hezbollah – which even the Arab-nation Gulf Cooperation Council classified as a terrorist organization last year.
This is no small thing. As America takes bold steps to keep terrorists out, we can't have other nations providing alternative pathways to our shores.
Things have gotten so bad for the press in Venezuela that the Committee to Protect Journalists issued a strong statement calling on the government there to "stop obstructing the foreign press."
With no sense of either perspective or irony, the government accused CNN's coverage of causing "direct aggressions against the peace and democratic stability" of the country and that the network had "generated an environment of intolerance." Right. And the government isn't creating "an environment of intolerance."
The nutty socialist government seems to think if people aren't told about their miseries they won't notice them.
Venezuela's crackdown on journalists, reports The Miami Herald, includes newspapers "seeing their newsprint supply restricted or being bought out by parties more amenable to the government. More recently, foreign journalists have been detained, including two Brazilian reporters, and others have been denied visas to work in the country."
This is right out of the tyrant's playbook, and we quote: "When crashing a country into the side of a mountain with oppressive, stupid, socialist/communist policies, be sure to blame the people telling the story."
They won't succeed for long. And neither will such a government.

I absolutely LOVE this outfit. Tulle and that cute sweater!
I love this tulle on you! you look so flirty and chic!
Very cute. That skirt looks so much fuller here than it does on the Anthro website. Does it make you feel like a princess?
What a great sweater (and outfit:)!
This outfit is so incredibly adorable! I love the black tulle skirt paired with sweatshirt!
I know this is a bit late, but would be able to comment on the sizing of the tulle party skirt from Anthro, I want to buy it online but I can't find any information about the fit.
Love the look though - if I get the skirt I will definitely pair it with chambray and a sweater, so cute! I never would have thought of that!

6 Reasons These Entrepreneurs Crush It While Others Merely Succeed
Confidence, risk-taking, delegation: America's most remarkable entrepreneurs have a few key traits in common.
By Leigh BuchananEditor-at-large, Inc. magazine@LeighEBuchanan
Bijou Karman
Two weeks after earning her real estate license in 2013, Liz Abrams was leading motivational sessions for more than 70 agents at the brokerage where she worked.
Abrams had surged from the starting gate, nailing 22 listings in her first month on the job. She invited envious colleagues to "wine nights" during which they'd sip chardonnay and watch her work on potential sellers.
"I said, 'I'll make the calls. You guys sit and listen and take notes,'" says Abrams.
Eager to build her own stable of sales stallions, Abrams launched, with her husband, an eponymous realty company in Virginia Beach, Virginia, in 2014. With seven children at home, Liz and Jim Abrams argued over the expense of leasing their first office. "He was like, 'Liz, how can we cover that?'" recalls Abrams. "I said, 'If we build it, they will come.'"
The Abramses built it. And indeed, the clients came. Abrams Realty is No. 254 on the Inc. 500--our annual ranking of America's fastest-growing private businesses--with $2.3 million in revenue and a growth rate of 1,932 percent. Its success reflects, in part, Abrams's outsize confidence, one of 10 strengths that founders of fast-growing companies possess in abundance, according to Gallup.
Over 37 years, the companies on the Inc. 500 have undergone seismic shifts in industries and business models. But one key element hasn't changed: the founders. Their achievements alone--akin to building a Formula One car from scratch and driving it to victory in a Grand Prix--distinguish these entrepreneurs. But there is something distinctive too about how such people think and act and--perhaps most important--react in the particle accelerator that is company building.
In the September 2014 issue of Inc., Gallup confirmed our belief that those who start fast-growing companies are indeed a breed apart. Gallup had previously identified 10 strengths that virtually all entrepreneurs possess in some quantity, ranging from confidence and determination to relationship building and a focus on profits. The organization correlated those strengths with specific business outcomes: exceeding profitability goals, say, or achieving a certain level of revenue. Then Gallup partnered with Inc. to learn whether founders on the Inc. 500 list scored higher on a test of those 10 strengths than did a national sample of more conventional entrepreneurs. They did, by a substantial margin.
The article resulting from that exercise, "Inside the Mind of an Entrepreneur," helped readers understand the psychology and talents of people creating the job and innovation engines of tomorrow. This year, Inc. and Gallup conducted a similar study and broadened it to include founders from the Inc. 5000. Close to 200 entrepreneurs took a deeply detailed assessment comprising more than 100 questions that took half an hour to complete. That number may be too small to produce definitive conclusions. But since the performance gap between fast-growth founders and the national sample is so wide--as it was four years ago--the results strongly suggest that the 5000 are, in fact, unusually gifted.
"Don't go so far out on a limb that you can't come back," says Volt Athletics' Dan Giuliani--who's tops at managing risk.
"The overall talent level for the Inc. 5000 is much higher," says Sangeeta Badal, Gallup's principal scientist for entrepreneurship and job creation and co-author, with Gallup chairman Jim Clifton, of the book Born to Build. Underscoring her point: Twenty-three percent of Inc. 5000 respondents scored in the "exceptional" range on the assessment, compared with just 2 percent of entrepreneurs in the national sample. "People in the exceptional category have the ability to form large businesses--$50 million and above," says Badal.
Inc. 5000 respondents not only scored much higher overall than the national sample; they also scored higher on each individual strength. They beat out conventional entrepreneurs most dramatically on independence and selling. The group's top-ranked strength is risk-taking--not excessive risk tolerance, but rather managing the vagaries of risk--just as it was four years ago.
The assessment also turned up differences between men and women that Gallup considers worthy of further investigation. In a confirmation of certain stereotypes, women were much stronger in relationships than men, and men were much stronger in risk than women. But women also scored significantly higher in determination and independence. "It is possible that, given the lack of role models and support for entrepreneurial women in our society," says Badal, "those who ended up in the Inc. sample are the ones who said nothing is going to stop me."
Gallup identifies three types of company builders critical to a top-functioning leadership team: rainmakers (revenue generators), conductors (managers), and experts (topic specialists). Forty-nine percent of Inc. 5000 founders were classified by Gallup as rainmakers, compared with a third of the national sample. By contrast, 35 percent of the national sample emerged as experts, compared with just 19 percent for the Inc. 5000.
"The only thing standing between you and the sale," says fearless founder Liz Abrams, "is you."
Clearly, the Inc. 5000 were born to execute. But better news lies in Gallup's wider research, which finds that 57 percent of rainmakers exceeded profitability goals, compared with 46 percent of conductors and 32 percent of experts. "There is something about these people that drives not only the top line but also the bottom line," says Badal. "It is not just about sales but, more broadly, an affinity for numbers."
By Gallup's reckoning, Liz Abrams is the quintessential fast-growth entrepreneur, scoring in the top 10 percent in all strengths but risk. Now she's trying to instill some of those same strengths in her sales team. That requires even more confidence than selling herself. "If they see any doubt in you--any self-questioning--it will carry over to them," Abrams says. "I tell them: The only thing standing between you and the sale is you. You have to know you can do it."
Dan Giuliani and his co-founder, Trevor Watkins, lived like ascetics for the three years it took to launch Volt Athletics, a Seattle-based developer of performance-training software for sports teams. Both maintained side jobs: Giuliani as a sports broadcaster and strength coach; Watkins as an IT consultant. They took no salaries and lived together to conserve their funds. Before approaching even friends and family for investment they spent a full year developing the product and another year beta-testing it with coaches. "We wanted to build something without putting anybody else's money at risk until we could prove that it could work," says Giuliani. Even after rollout, Giuliani traveled to campus sports facilities, seeking to de-risk the product by proactively scouting potential problems.
Two years after launching Volt, the partners took their biggest gamble: developing a second product for individual athletes, a very different market. But the new product would require most of their attention. Giuliani worried about starving their still-dewy first offering of resources.
After careful analysis, the partners judged they had a sufficient technical lead to forestall competition in the timeframe needed to develop the consumer product. The new back-end code could also be used to improve the team offering, "so no matter what happened, the work would not be wasted," says Giuliani. To keep things moving for their team, they deputized several employees to make decisions normally made by the founders.
A year after launch, the new product represents half of Volt's business and has contributed the lion's share of its growth. "We never stretched ourselves so thin that the company was going to completely fail," says Giuliani, whose father founded Optiva, maker of the Sonicare toothbrush and the No. 1 company on the 1997 Inc. 500. "You don't go so far out on a limb that you can't come back."
Felicite Moorman was intellectually precocious. At 16, she was calculating FICA taxes for the movie theater where she worked. In college, she had four majors. During her first year of law school, she sued AT&T for overcharging her father on roaming charges. When AT&T didn't show up to small-claims court, she won by default. When AT&T didn't pay, she filed a claim against one of its properties. AT&T settled.
Today Moorman is co-founder and CEO of Stratis, a Philadelphia-based business that develops software for remotely controlling lights, locks, and alarms in apartment houses and dorms. The industry is changing fast, and Moorman studies it voraciously, deluging Stratis's Slack channels with articles and white papers.
When she's not in meetings, she is reading industry, trade, and technical publications. "I have three or four dozen Google alerts, which I keep fresh," says Moorman, who likens how she ingests information to "drinking from a fire hose."
Much of Stratis's success derives from the deep dive Moorman did into the nuances of financing apartment buildings and dorms, which included informational interviews with numerous industry leaders. She believes entrepreneurs overvalue selling in the early days and undervalue learning. "I love selling," she says, "but it was doing deep research that established the relationships we have today."
Moorman is a great believer in the power of three. When evaluating a nugget of information, she wants three sources to back it up or provide different perspectives. When working with a customer, she develops relationships with people in three roles--ideally in different departments--to fully understand how Stratis is performing. "Ask one person something, and you get their version," says Moorman. "Ask three people, and you get a better truth."
Natasha Miller, a violinist and jazz vocalist, launched San Francisco-based Entire Productions after helping clients find other performers when she was booked. In the early years, she carried every detail about every band and every musician in her brain. She didn't let her first employee interact with clients for six months. "I thought they had to talk to me," she says.
But when Miller finally relinquished some responsibility, "I felt this surge of energy," she says. "I realized my employee did not need 100 percent of my knowledge to do a good job. She could do it with 30 percent if I set things up well."
So Miller downloaded every scrap of information about the business into a customized Salesforce application accessible to all her staffers. She also started hiring those who can assume her public roles--"people who can go out to the marketing and networking events," she says, "and cajole an artist out of the green room and onto the stage."
When Miller handles a complex or delicate business issue, she will share the correspondence with staff "so they can see the language and tone I use." She has even backed out of sales. Her team is currently fielding 200 RFPs, but Miller refuses to be cc'ed. "That was hard, because there were these pings of adrenaline when I'd see those inbound requests," says Miller. "But I know this is how it should be."
Miller used her freed-up time to open offices in L.A. and London--among other things. "I told my daughter I just got my oil changed and had a manicure," says Miller. "I would never have done that on a workday before."
The idea for Royal Vending (No. 2,531) struck Ryan Harrington one day on a ferry to Canada, as he stood in a long line waiting to buy snacks from a machine. "I was thinking, 'Someone who's not even here is making $20 or $30 in five minutes,'" says Harrington. On a museum ticket stub, he scribbled, "Research vending machines."
Now, Harrington plows through lists of daily and weekly tasks tied to monthly, quarterly, and yearly goals, seeking a five-fold return on every investment for his Tigard, Oregon-based company. He measures everything in search of savings, which led to removing the lift gates and changing the cargo containers on his trucks to reduce fuel and refrigeration costs. "If we send a driver on a 15-minute trip, what money will he pull out of that location?" says Harrington. "Is it worth it?"
Today, around 80 percent of Royal Vending's business is micromarkets: cases of sandwiches, drinks, and snacks, coupled with a checkout kiosk, that companies install onsite as a perk for employees. Through testing, Harrington discovered he could charge 20 percent more for products in such aesthetically and experientially appealing markets than he could for identical products in vending machines. Reducing service calls further boosts the bottom line: "You don't lose your quarter" in such markets, says Harrington. "You don't shake the machine to get your chips to fall."
The business still offers vending services, but those compete on price. Harrington prefers the micromarkets, where "95 percent of the new accounts have never asked for a price list." A micromarket may generate five times the daily revenue of a machine in the same location. "We looked at that," says Harrington, "and realized this is the ticket."
Bo Brustkern imagines his industry peers as a Venn diagram. Circle one comprises industry experts. Circle two comprises fans of surfing or biking or snow sports. Circle three comprises leaders he'd like to hang with.
From the intersection of those circles, Brustkern--co-founder and CEO of the New York City-based conference business LendIt Fintech--gins up invite lists for the adventure getaways he's hosted for the past decade. Once or twice a year, around 30 fintech leaders head off to ski the backcountry in Steamboat Springs or ride the waves in Cabo.
"If there is no shop talk, that is perfectly fine--even preferred," says Brustkern. "I'm taking the business edge off so everyone really gets to know each other."
Brustkern's business is dedicated to relationships. He and three partners--all newbies to fintech--launched LendIt when they couldn't find adequate education and networking opportunities in the peer-to-peer lending sector. LendIt's events typically attract 5,000 attendees, many of whom Brustkern gets to know.
"But 5,000 people aren't relationships," says Brustkern, who prefers cultivating small groups to relentless networking. Brustkern introduced invitation-only getaways at his first business, Arcstone Partners, a financial firm specializing in valuing complex securities. He built that business on referrals from a network of hundreds of corporate attorneys whom he assiduously cultivated. Everyone who sent him a client received a handwritten thank-you letter and a bottle of wine.
Today, he writes those letters to companies that sponsor LendIt events. "Investing in those relationships in a thoughtful way made a pretty material impact," says Brustkern. "People appreciate being appreciated."
Ken McElrath recalls the day, four years ago, when he decided to hire a CTO. "I walked to where the engineers were working, and they put their heads down and tried to hide," says McElrath. "I said, 'What is going on?' They said, 'We cannot handle any more ideas. Please, just let us alone so we can execute what we have.'"
As founder and CEO of the Chattanooga, Tennessee-based Skuid (No. 635), whose platforms let people build apps without knowing how to code, McElrath is constantly coming up with new ideas. Such as: a feature called Skuid (pronounced "squid") Ink that lets users apply--with one click--design elements like color and font across multiple screens in an app. He reckons he generates five ideas a day. "My CTO is a buffer between my engineers and my incessant flow of ideas," says McElrath.
McElrath came up with the idea for Skuid at his previous business, which made educational software. Many clients were nonprofits or educators that could not afford developers to customize the product. "I posed the question: Is there any way to create applications that are gorgeous that our customers can just change to their hearts' content without writing a single line of code?" he says.
There was, and Skuid now counts many Fortune 100 companies as clients. But McElrath doesn't limit his creativity to his company's products. One problem that arose: "Skuid is so easy to use that you can build really bad applications just as well as really good ones." So he created teams to go out and train clients on Ideo-style design thinking, in which he is certified.
The company was adding new features and capabilities so fast that customers had trouble keeping up. "What I am learning," says McElrath, "is we have to pace ourselves so that the market can absorb what we have already built."
McElrath, who holds three art degrees, recalls a photo a professor once gave him of that professor standing on his head to gaze at a painting. That image still influences how he keeps his torrent of new ideas flowing. "You look at something from a totally different perspective," he says, "and all of a sudden it starts making sense."
