Muslim Women in History
Umm al Muqtadir-billah.
Source: Umar Kahhala, A'lam al Nisa.
She directed state affairs due to the incapacity of her son, the Abbasid caliph al-Muqtadir-billah, in the early fourth century A.H. In a public square in Baghdad, she set up a tribunal for the purpose of settling people's petitions and lawsuits one day a week. She placed one of her female courtiers as judge. People were scandalized and no one came to her on the first day. On the second day, the woman courtier brought the famous judge Abul Hassan so the public would know that there was scholarly approval. Many wronged people benefited from this increased access to justice, so people soon overcame their resistance to this idea.
Some fourteen years later, military officers formented resentment at the female influence in the state, and staged a coup. After a failed attempt, they killed Muqtadir in a second coup in 320 A.H. His mother, who became ill from shock, was imprisoned. The new caliph, Al-Qahir, demanded all her wealth and brutally tortured her. He then tried to force her to dissolve all her awqaf (trusts) and appoint his agent to sell them. She retorted, "I established these awqaf in the name of charity and in the name of closeness to Makkah and Madinah, for the weak and the poor, and I will not authorize their dissolution and sale."
Qahir then dissolved and sold them anyway (without the formality of her approval). In 321, Um al-Muqtadir's condition worsened due to the torture. A prominent townsman who had been her son's supporter cared for her at his own mother's home. She died that year and was buried in the cemetary she had founded on Al-Rusafa (a bank of the Tigris River).

The Women who took the Pledge of Aqabah.
This was a historic occasion when leaders of Yathrib/Madinah came to the Prophet (saw) in Makkah, where he and his followers were being persecuted, and pledged allegiance to him. They sent one small party first, then the larger party which is the better known; both pledges took place under cover of darkness (i believe), without cognizance of the Makkan chieftans. Both the First and Second Pledges of Aqabah have political as well as spiritual implications. That is, those who pledged were not only declaring their faith in Islam, but promising political support and, if necessary, military protection, to the Prophet. Here is the relevant passage from the compendium on the Companions by Ibn Hajar al Aqalani, Al Isaba fi Tamyiz al Sahaba.
Naseeba (often called Nusaiba) bint Ka'b bin 'Amr al Ansariya al Najjariya Um Amara
, who is as well-known by her kunya Um Amara as she is by her name.
Ibn Ishaq mentions, narrations from multiple sources, that in the Second Pledge of Aqabah there were from the Madinan tribe of Bani Khazraj sixty-two men and two women, and the narrators claim that the women pledged... [Note here the incredulity of the historian Ibn Ishaq and his reluctance, writing as he was in a period well after the time of the early Muslims, to believe that the women really participated! Despite the verification of this fact by more than one narrator! In the historian's time, women were already pushed out of most forms of public political participation.] ... claim that the women pledged the Prophet peace and prayers be upon him, and he did not used to shake hands with women; rather, he used to put them to the question, and if they agreed, he said, "You may go." The two women were from the family of Bani Mazin bin al-Najjar, Naseeba and her sister, both the daughters of Ka'b. Naseeba had her husband, Zaid bin 'Asim, there with her, and her son by him, Habib, the one who was later killed by Musailama [a claimant to prophethood after the death of Muhammad]. She also had Abdullah, who later narrated a hadith about wudu.
[the following is an abridgement]
When she heard the news that Musailama had killed her son Habib, she swore an oath to God that she would kill Musailama or die trying, and she participated in combat in the battle of Yamamah (waged against Musailama). She sustained twelve wounds in that battle and her hand was lopped off. [Musailama was killed in the battle.]
She also participated in combat at the Battle of Uhud (much earlier), and was party to the Pledge of Ridwan as well.
1. Busra bint Safwan bin Nawfal al Qurashiya al Asdiya.
She was the niece of Waraqa bin Nawfal (the man whom Khadija consulted about Muhammad's prophethood after the earliest revelation). Ibn al Athir ays her mother was Salima bint Umayah al Silmiya. Busra was the wife of Al Mughirah bin Abi al As, and she had a daughter Aisha with him. Then Marwan b. al Hakam married her and according to one (dubious) source, she had a son Abd al Malik with him. Other's say the mother of Marwan's son Abd al Malik was the daughter of "Muawiya brother of Mughira."
Busra narrated [hadith] from the Prophet, peace and prayers be upon him, and Marwan b. al Hakam narrated on her authority as did Urwa b. al Zubair, Sa'eed b. al Musayyib, and other prominent persons of the generation following the Companions.* Al Shafii says Busra was an early Muslim and made the Hijrah. Mus'ab says she was one of the women who took the Pledge. Amr b. Shuaib said, She was my maternal aunt; she narrates a hadith about [what happens to wudu in the case of] touching one's member, and she was a hairdresser who used to coiff the women in Makkah.
[Commentary: ok, this may be dry, folks, but we can still learn from it. Note the care taken by the chroniclers to establish not only paternity of children, but correct maternal line as well. Note the serial marriages, which were common among the women as well as men of the time, as you will notice after having read many of these entries. Note the characteristics which the chroniclers attempt to determine about the companions: at what stage of the development of the community did they enter the faith? did they enter early enough to make Hijrah, a central dating mechanism? Note how the women's descendents report on them, and take pride in having a woman narrator in their ancestry (despite the arab cultural emphasis on the male line). And of course, note that although she comes from a noble family, she was a hairdresser, contrary to assertions that some people might make that only low-status women worked.]
2. Busra bint Uzwan.
Abu Hurairah worked for her and they later married. She was the sister of Utbah bin Uzwan al-Mazini, the famous companion, the governor of Basra (in Iraq). The story of Abu Huraira is true according to this author; she hired him and he was her employee during the time of the Prophet, and she married him later, after Marwan succeeded him [as administrator] over Madinah.

Jamila bint Thabit bin Abi al-Aflah
Jamila bint Thabit bin Abi al-Aflah, sister of Asim, wife of Umar b. al Khattab, was also called Um Asim. Her name used to be 'Assiya (means "intractable") and the Prophet changed it to Jamila (means "beautiful"). After she embraced Islam, she went to Umar and said "I hate my name, give me a name." He said, "You are beautiful (jamila)." She got angry and kept going through names and couldnt find any but her mother's name. So she went to the Prophet(pbuh) |
control of the structural dynamics of SCFS developed by the authors. It consists in the fact that, on the basis of it, as shown by preliminary studies, the following possibilities work out. Firstly, to directly relate those common goals, the achievement of which the functioning of a specific SCPS at a specific stage of its life cycle, with its strategic and tactical goals. Secondly, reasonably determine and choose the appropriate sequences of tasks and performed operations (actions) related to controlled structural dynamics (controlled by self-organization of SCPS). And, thirdly, to consciously find compromise multi-criteria solutions for the allocation of limited resources of SCPS allocated to control the structural dynamics of these systems in the conditions of possible crisis, emergency and emergency situations.<|endoftext|>Health care's most wired. A wired exchange.
There was a time when innovation in health care information technology meant being at the cutting edge of managerial systems. Hospitals made significant investments in financially oriented technology. In the past five years, the investment in clinical IT appears to have outstripped the investment in managerial systems, including enterprise resource planning aimed at improving the supply chain.<|endoftext|>RF-based two-dimensional cardiac strain estimation: a validation study in a tissue-mimicking phantom
Strain and strain rate imaging have been shown to be useful techniques for the assessment of cardiac function. However, one of the major problems of these techniques is their angle dependency. In order to overcome this problem, a new method for estimating the strain (rate) tensor had previously been proposed by our lab. The aim of this study was to validate this methodology in a phantom setup. A tubular thick-walled tissue-mimicking phantom was fixed in a water tank. Varying the intraluminal pressure resulted in a cyclic radial deformation. The 2D strain was calculated from the 2D velocity estimates, obtained from 2D radio frequency (RF) tracking using a 1D kernel. Additionally, ultrasonic microcrystals were implanted on the outer and inner walls of the tube in order to give an independent measurement of the instantaneous wall thickness. The two methods were compared by means of linear regression, the correlation coefficient, and Bland-Altman statistics. As expected, the strain estimates dominated by the azimuth velocity component were less accurate than the ones dominated by the axial velocity component. Correlation coefficients were found to be r=0.78 for the former estimates and =0.83 was found for the latter. Given that the overall shape and timing of the 2D deformation were very accurate (r=0.95 and r=0.84), these results were within acceptable limits for clinical applications. The 2D RF-tracking using a 1D kernel thus allows for 2D, and therefore angle-independent, strain estimation.<|endoftext|>Evaluation of short-term outcomes of impaired creatinine clearance in patients with acute coronary syndromes: A prospective cohort study at tertiary care center
Background: Chronic kidney disease is commonly seen in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and it has been shown to have poor outcomes. We evaluated the prevalence of impaired creatinine clearance and its impact on short-term clinical outcomes in patients admitted with ACS without prior documented chronic renal disease. Materials and Methods: The present study was an observational, prospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary care center in North India. In patients admitted with a diagnosis of ACS, glomerular filtration rate was estimated (eGFR) by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Equation. Patients with eGFR <90 mL/min were taken as study group and those with values >90 mL/min comprised control group. The study group was further categorized into three subgroups on the basis of eGFR (<30 mL/min; 30–59 mL/min; 60–89 ml/min). The primary outcomes compared between study and control group were major adverse cardiac event (MACE) (composite of death, reinfarction, congestive heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and arrhythmia). The secondary outcome measures were individual components of primary outcome. Results: Among the 200 enrolled patients with ACS, the prevalence of impaired creatinine clearance was 29.5%. The study cohort had higher rates of MACE (28.8 vs. 9.2%, P ≤≤ 0.0001), in-hospital mortality (13.6 vs. 3.5%, P = 0.009), and overall mortality (15.3 vs. 5.1%, P = 0.014) as compared to control group. However, the 30-day mortality was not significantly different. The MACE in the study subgroups was higher in eGFR 30–60 mL/min (odds ratio [OR] 3.97) subgroup followed by eGFR <30 mL/min (OR 3.04) and eGFR 60–90 mL/min (OR 1.38). Using eGFR <90 mL/min as cutoff (as compared to serum creatinine [SCr] >1.5 mg/dl) enhances the ability to predict death by 33% and MACE events by 143%. The OR for predicting death with various cutoff of eGFR was as follows: eGFR <30 ml/min – 3.61, eGFR: 30–60 ml/min – 4.2 and eGFR: 60–90 ml/min – 0.5. Conclusion: Almost one-third of the patients presenting with ACS have impaired creatinine clearance. Patients with impaired creatinine clearance have worse outcome in hospital vis-a-vis their contemporary groups with normal eGFR. eGFR is a better risk assessment parameter than SCr for predicting MACE and overall mortality in ACS patients.<|endoftext|>Simulation and experimental results of multiharmonic least-squares fitting algorithms applied to periodic signals
A new generation of multipurpose measurement equipment is transforming the role of computers in instrumentation. The new features involve mixed devices, such as analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters and digital signal processing techniques, that are able to substitute typical discrete instruments like multimeters and analyzers. Signal-processing applications frequently use least-squares (LS) sine-fitting algorithms. Periodic signals may be interpreted as a sum of sine waves with multiple frequencies: the Fourier series. This paper describes an algorithm that is able to fit a multiharmonic acquired signal, determining the amplitude and phase of all harmonics. Simulation and experimental results are presented.<|endoftext|>Prospective evaluation of accuracy of fine‐needle aspiration biopsy for breast lesions using the International Academy of Cytology Yokohama System for reporting breast cytopathology
Classification of breast lesions into different cytological groups can accurately be done using the International Academy of Cytology (IAC) Yokohama System for reporting breast cytopathology. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of breast lesions has been considered to be the primary investigation in detecting breast cancers, especially in low‐cost settings. The main objective of this study was to prospectively re‐confirm the diagnostic accuracy of breast FNAB using the IAC Yokohama system. Additionally, separate secondary subgroup analysis was done to confirm the accuracy of breast FNAB excluding lymph‐node positive and lymphadenopathy positive tumors.<|endoftext|>Dark current reduction of Ge photodetector by GeO₂ surface passivation and gas-phase doping.
We have investigated the dark current of a germanium (Ge) photodetector (PD) with a GeO₂ surface passivation layer and a gas-phase-doped n+/p junction. The gas-phase-doped PN diodes exhibited a dark current of approximately two orders of magnitude lower than that of the diodes formed by a conventional ion implantation process, indicating that gas-phase doping is suitable for low-damage PN junction formation. The bulk leakage (Jbulk) and surface leakage (Jsurf) components of the dark current were also investigated. We have found that GeO₂ surface passivation can effectively suppress the dark current of a Ge PD in conjunction with gas-phase doping, and we have obtained extremely low values of Jbulk of 0.032 mA/cm² and Jsurf of 0.27 μA/cm.<|endoftext|>Book Review: Terence TSAI and Bor-Shiuan CHENG, The Silicon Dragon: High-Tech Industry in Taiwan.

538 to what it calls “hegemony” in the world, in this case domination by the only superpower, the USA. Second, as China continues its rapid economic growth, its need for raw materials, especially crude oil, has skyrocketed. China sees Africa as an important source of those materials. Third, China wants to limit and contain Taiwan’s influence in Africa. After reviewing the evolution of China’s policy toward Africa from 1949 to the current decade, Taylor devotes the rest of his book to a case-bycase account of Beijing’s post-Cultural Revolution relations with Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, and Malawi respectively. His chapter on China’s entanglement in the Angolan Civil War in the mid-1970s highlights the limitations and dilemma in Beijing’s policy and the convergence of Sino-American interests in Africa. The author illustrates how the consideration of preventing Soviet control of Angola led Beijing to support one Angolan faction over another and how the limits of China’s capabilities forced Chinese leaders to rely on the USA in their attempt to contain the Soviet Union. In the end, according to Taylor, the fact that China and South Africa backed the same side in the Angolan Civil War “was extremely embarrassing for Beijing and caused great harm to China’s prestige in the region” (p. 80).

With this well-researched and detailed analysis of Yuan Shih-k'ai's rise to power from 1901 to 1908, Stephen MacKinnon makes an important contribution to our knowledge of the closing years of the Ch'ing period by attempting the difficult task of reassessing both Yiian's proto-warlord image and the nature of the political power structure in late imperial China. One of the author's objectives is to show that, contrary to the view held by many scholars, Yiian cannot be considered the ' father of modern Chinese warlordism or militarism' (p. 5) since his power was not fundamentally derived from a personally controlled and regionally supported Peiyang Army, but, rather, was based on his relationship with the court in Peking and with the foreign powers, especially Great Britain. Moreover, he challenges the broader argument, first made by Lo Erh-kang in the 1930s and later elaborated by Hatano Yoshihiro and others, that Yuan Shih-k'ai's growing political strength before 1911—12 was merely another indication that the Chinese central government had been unable since the rebellions of the mid nineteenth century to stem the flow of power away from itself and into the hands of provincial leaders. MacKinnon maintains that although the power of local elites did undeniably increase after the Taiping and Nien Rebellions, it was not necessarily at the expense of formal government. In his view the Ch'ing power structure of the post-Boxer decade can be seen as ' three simultaneously expanding and overlapping nodes of power: the central government in Beijing; provincial governments and armies at the regional level; and local elites at the svh-xian level' (p. 10). As a competent, reform-minded administrator with enormous influence in Peking and with the foreigners, Yiian was able to place himself at the intersection of these three nodes of power, responding to the needs of local elites and at the same time increasing the ' administrative reach of his representatives at the zian level, the magistrates ' (p. 224). Finally, MacKinnon emphasizes the role of nationalism and a growing fear of foreign encroachment as major factors in stimulating less competition and more co-operation among the power centres in China at this time.<|endoftext|>The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on the Google’s Nexus 7 combines both phone and tablet user interfaces.For the Nexus 7,Google has specifically created a very different combination of User Interfaces whereby the placement of the virtual buttons is completely different from the predecessor Android tablets.
Like the Galaxy Nexus,the Home Screen Launcher in the the Nexus 7 is fixed in the portrait mode and has the virtual buttons at the bottom of the screen,however when the user goes uses the landscape mode for example,in landscape-orientated applications and games eg Dead Trigger,the virtual buttons will remain at the bottom unlike in the Galaxy Nexus.
The Developers Fame It have created an Application named Ultimate Rotation Control,this is an application that enables the user to use the Home Screen Launcher and other Applications in Landscape Orientation,designed for those users who would prefer to use the Nexus 7 with landscape orientation instead of the portrait orientation.
Ultimate Rotation Control negates the already pre-set Orientation settings and thereby forcing the user’s tablet to use the user’s own Orientation choice.
You can also set the Orientation as required separately for all applications according to your own requirement to avoid the problem of some applications not working properly as a result of them being forced to be opened in a specific orientation.
After the application has been installed and set-up,the user will notice that it is present in the notification drawer in addition to a widget present on the home screen,thereby allowing the user to easily change the settings as required.
This Ultimate Rotation Control is available at the Google Play Store,for $0.99,however there is a free 7-day trial version available,for those who want to try it out.Ultimate Rotation Control can be used on any Android Device from the 1.6 Donut to the 4.1 Jelly Bean.
<|endoftext|>April 28, 2009: Is Susan Boyle For Real? What About Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny? The New York Post is On the Case! Also – The Comics Roundup!
Next Article April 29, 2009: Simul-posting, Stargate, and the SyFy Slant.
The article was titled “WHY IS NO ONE SUSPICIOUS OF SIMON COWELL’S LATEST CREATION?”. Intrigued, I clicked on the link and was redirected to a New York Post piece by writer Maureen Callahan that seemed to question the authenticity of Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent. You know Susan, that dowdy, 47-year old woman who wowed the show’s judges – not to mention some 30 million online viewers – with her stirring rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream”. Well, faster than you can say “click and play”, she was magically transformed from frumpy nobody to worldwide darling. But not so fast! The title of Callahan’s article suggests some sort of trickery. Have we all been had? Is the New York Post suggesting Susan Boyle is a sham?
Yeah, what’s with THAT?! You’re going to tell me they just happened to have the cameras rolling when she walked on stage and started singing? And they just happen to have an orchestra on hand to play musical accompaniment? And, coincidentally, there were producers there who had access to a post-production facility that allowed them to edit together a 7-minute movie for “online consumption”. Hmmmmm. Seems mighty fishy to me. Next thing you’ll tell me is that Cloverfield wasn’t a documentary!
Er, um, so? This is “reality television” we’re talking about and, unless you’ve been living under a rock (without cable or satellite reception) for the past 10+ years, you’d know that the “reality” part of the term is a misnomer. In truth, reality programming full of genuine and occasionally surprising moments – all skillfully produced and slickly packaged for mass consumption. Does that make these moments any less “real”? Well, that’s arguable. Like I said, the possibility that the show’s producers may have tweaked the circumstances of Boyle’s performance by either playing up her stodgy image or steering her toward a more on-theme song choice is neither here nor there. Her performance was surprisingly good, it was a great story, and the production capitalized on the event.
That’s show business. I very much doubt that the writer of the piece isn’t aware of how it works. And that’s what annoyed me about her article. She is quick to criticize what she sees as audience manipulation and yet, at the same time, her piece is guilty of doing just that – first by hooking readers with a misleading title that hints at scandal, then offering up a list of painfully obvious insights which, in her mind (and no doubt in the mind of every other television viewer who believes the actors on that CSI show just show up on set and make up their dialogue as they go along), suggest a dark conspiracy.
So every two or three years, I’ll drop by my local comic book store, pick up one of every title on the racks, bring them home and read them. If I like what I’m reading, I’ll purchase the follow-up issue. If I don’t, I move on. I repeat the process until I lose interest in that final title, drop it, and redirect my attention to alternate hobbies like reiki or learning to play King of the Road on the didgeridoo.
This one came out almost a year ago and it’s a one-shot (meaning no follow-up) but I include it here because it was that damn good. I’m a big fan of villains and, while The Penguin has never topped my list of favorites, this particular tale humanizes the habitually cartoonish Oswald Cobblepot. Writer Jason Aaron offers us a glimpse of the vulnerable little boy behind the infamous persona in a story that is both touching and surprising. Frequent contributor to this blog Dasndanger recommended Aaron several weeks ago (in relation to his work on Wolverine). Well, after this book, I’m sold!

Speaking of Wolverine, another one-shot finds our anti-hero returning to Japan to honor pay respect to his late love Mariko. Of course, trouble tends to follow him everywhere – in this case aboard a commercial airliner. It’s a fairly standard story but well-executed. And surprisingly visceral. Mutilations abound! Since when did comics become so violent?
And speaking of terrific writers “Welcome to Spiderman, Mr. Waid”. I picked up the preceding issues of this book and, while in no way offensive, they failed to impress. I was about to drop the title when I caught Waid’s name on the cover. He has been a favorite of mine (I ran into him in an elevator at Comic Con a couple of years ago and in my fan boyish delirium gifted him a bunch of Stargate swag) and his time on The Flash is among my favorite runs. Oh, and there was a little something called Kingdom Come he did a few years ago that makes my Top |
the right or the rear) are available and the large doors also provide quick access to the work area. The machines offer unique precision, even under heavy machining conditions, thanks to the stable construction and high thermo stability. The large dimensional ball screws (40 x 10 mm for the CTX 450, and 50 x 10 mm for the CTX 650) and wide linear guides ensure the best rigidity values and positioning precision of 0,02 mm, with the direct distance measurement system even 0,008 mm is achieved.
Both models feature a turret for 12 tools with VDI 40 / 50 holder and rapid traverses of 30 m / min in all axes. Furthermore, the use of six block tools is made possible. The comprehensive equipment of the models promises maximum efficiency. An upgrade of the complete machine right up to turn and mill full machining is possible thanks to the task-optimised configurations.
Setting the machine apart from their competitors are a FEM-optimised cast iron bed, large ballscrews, linear guideways for high rigidity and top positioning accuracy, and small footprints of 4.9 sq m and 9.8 sq m respectively.
The CTX 450 ecoline operates at spindle speeds up to 4,000 rpm, while the CTX 650 ecoline, with its water-cooled motor, provides maximum torque of 2,000 nm for heavy machining.
Regenerative braking of the spindle and axis drives saves energy. Linear guideways minimise friction and also reduce energy consumption through the use of smaller motors. The machines also use less lubricant, which further mitigates environmental impact.
The CTX 450 ecoline can be fitted with the chip conveyor at the back rather than at the side, reducing the installation width of the machine by up to 35 percent.<|endoftext|>AUTOMATIC APPROACH FOR CALIBRATING OFF-THE-SHELF DIGITAL CAMERAS
Recent developments of digital cameras in terms of size of Charged Coupled Device (CCD) arrays and reduced costs are leading to their applications to traditional as well as new photogrammetric, surveying, and mapping functions. Digital cameras, intended to replace the conventional film based mapping cameras, are becoming available along with many smaller format digital cameras capable of precise measurement applications. All such cameras require careful assessment to determine their metric characteristics, which are essential to carry out photogrammetric activities. These characteristics include estimates of the calibrated focal length, location of the principal point relative to the array coordinate system, lens distortion, and the short and long-term stability of these quantities. These characteristics are known collectively as the Interior Orientation Parameters (IOP). Current calibration methods are based on traditional test fields with numerous distinct targets, which have to be professionally surveyed prior to the calibration procedure in order to precisely determine their three-dimensional coordinates. Establishing, surveying, and maintaining traditional calibration test fields are very expensive and not easy tasks for non-photogrammetric users of digital cameras. This paper relates to the development of a new laboratory calibration procedure that requires an easy-to-establish calibration test field (group of straight lines). In addition, the whole calibration process can be automatically carried out with minimal human interaction. It is expected that this calibration procedure would provide a good tool for studying the short and long-term stability of off-the-shelf digital cameras. In addition, it will give a great push to using those cameras in large scale mapping applications as well as various close range photogrammetric activities.<|endoftext|>Customer experiences with Life extension super digestive enzymes - Is weight loss really successful in the studies?

step over cracks in the sidewalk in an absent-minded game. She was so distracted that she was totally taken by surprise when someone bumped into her.
Eregla let out a little squeak of surprise and fear, toppling down backwards onto the sidewalk. She winced as her butt smacked against the hard surface. She hoped that wouldn’t bruise. Despite her sore bottom, it was actually her tail that had taken the brunt of it. It was a little scraped up here and there, but barely enough to even draw blood. Her skin was just colored a little purple with her blood. It took her a second or two to recollect her senses, but when she did, she looked up to see a Saiyan in some pretty heavy looking armor apologizing and reaching a hand down to her. Eregla smiled sheepishly and took her hand, getting back to her feet and dusting herself off.
Hugging her arm, Eregla looked the Saiyan up and down. She looked awfully nice and civilian to be wearing armor like that. Eregla hoped that she wasn’t anyone terribly important in the Saiyan Kingdom or anything like that. She wasn’t sure what she’d do. As much as Eregla was worried about the welfare of the woman, she was also worried what she would think now that she had gotten a good look at Eregla. She was certainly a sight to see. Her skin was as white as snow except near joints and the tip of her tail where it transitioned to a rich green. She had human blonde hair and Namekian antenna and ears. Not to mention all of the arcosian bio armor all over her body. Eregla wasn’t embarrassed of her looks, but a lot of people gave her odd or wary looks because of it. It kind of hurt, but there was nothing that she could do about it.
Kabocha when she got a good look at the person she'd stumbled into made her blood run cold at the sight of her. It was clear to her what Eregla was because- well this was her father's Expertise. Thankfully she had the few seconds to quickly handle the emotions that splayed on her face as Eregla reoriented. [B-bio android. L-like my dad's research... like... the...] She felt her chest tighten as she could FEEL the growth squeeze her heart slightly now. A moment of pure terror as she pushed the worries back and tried cramming the feeling away as hard as she could as a few thoughts tried invading [She's innocent in all this, don't be rude!] Her Superego shouted, Her Instincts telling her to run, flee. Thankfully she was able to silence the voices pretty quick. [Calm down!] she simply thought as she fixed her expression, sure- it might look slightly fake. But she didn't wanna give the same look she'd got from other saiyans. she had no room to judge another person.
Taking a closer look, while she was terrified of the type of person she was from association, The actual person Eregla was looked kind of pretty! [She's got those gem things that Garruk does, and- wait are those...?] she paused and held a hand up by her chest as she looked at Eregla's antennae. Like Father, like Daughter- her mind started whirling with theories and concepts from what she'd read of her father's research into Bio-Androids. "A-are those Namekian antennae? a-and you have bio gems-" Her worries and instinctive fears burning away to the curiosity that took hold of her whenever she met someone with new traits "Orange is such a great color!- sorry" she paused again as she realized she was rambling "I-i'm Kabocha, I'm a saiyan from around here" her cheeks flush a bit red when she feels a hot wave of embarrassment from being so gung ho. "What's your name?" she asked, ignoring the pain in her chest the best she could.
Hm… something was a little off about the Saiyan girl’s expression. She seemed polite enough, but there was a familiar forced straining behind it. Eregla knew what that meant. Ah, well. What did she expect? She looked very strange. Her eyes fell to the ground to hide her disappointment. What was it about her appearance? Eregla’s guess was that the Arcosian bio armor and bio gems. The gems glinted with her father’s golden hue. Arcosians and Saiyans had a particularly horrible history. She really couldn’t help it, and she definitely still loved her father. Even if he used to be a warlord. He changed for the better! So… Why did they have to look at her like that?
Before she knew it, Eregla felt a familiar sting at her eyes. “I-I’m fine. Just a little scraped up, but I heal pretty quickly. S-See? It’s already gone.” She lifted up her tail, and true enough, the wound had already closed up, only leaving a faint purple blot on her skin. She was relieved that the Saiyan lady wasn’t hurt though. That armor definitely looked really heavy… it could have ended badly if she took a spill the wrong way.
Eregla swished her tail back and forth, feeling horribly awkward. How did one get out of this situation? She supposed that running was a weird but effective option. But, she didn’t want to be rude. Her dad had always drilled into her that being polite was one of the most important things that you could do. Especially if that person had slighted you. Her dad had impressed a lot of weird little lessons like that into her.
Kabocha felt a familiar gut stab when she watched Eregla's eyes trail down, mentally berating herself for being so rude. [This is so irrational! Just because she's similar to... this, doesn't mean you need to be scared...!] She bit her lip while her look was downward, and made a note to make her feel less disliked! Even if it's for one day, cause sometimes that's what you need.
She was actually really fascinated with the quick healing of Eregla, curiously craning her head to see the tail a bit better when the Bio-Android showed it to her. "Wow... Kinda jealous not gonna lie...! Kinda makes me think of games where you regen health..." She blurted out absentmindedly as her thoughts were runnin' a mile behind her mouth. [Oh wow you just showed how big of a dork we are.] A voice resounded in her head and her cheeks pinked a bit. though she shook it away pretty quickly.
"Hey- sorry. I don't dislike you" She rubbed the back of her neck with her right gauntlet'd hand, and sighed. "Actually, you're like- the exact reason my dad's a biologist. He's studied Bio-Androids for years, and well. I love learning about stuff like that! Reading research into biology is why I adore animals, and all the cool things that makes us different but similar! but... recently I kind of learned my dad may have used that exact research to suppress my own ki. the pointed to her stomach, trying to angle it in a way where it points towards the spine "This thing in me that keeps suffocating my heart when my ki interacts with it. I'm sorry" she hugs her arm a bit and chuckles nervously "A-a little TMI i'm sure, but like- I didn't want you to think the weird feeling was actually aimed at you..." She looked to the ground, trying not to meet Eregla's eyes cause she could hardly stand her own awkwardness on this subject.<|endoftext|>Urinary screening tests for fetal Down syndrome: II. Hyperglycosylated hCG
Hyperglycosylated hCG is a form of hCG with more complex oligosaccharide side chains. A specific immunoassay was developed to measure hyperglycosylated hCG. Levels were measured in urine samples from 1157 women between 11 to 22 weeks of gestation, undergoing genetic analysis because of advanced maternal age. Values were normalized to urine creatinine concentration and plotted against gestational age, median values were determined and multiples of the control median (MoM) calculated. The median MoM and log standard deviation (log SD) of the 1134 control samples was 1.0 and 0.47, and of the 23 Down syndrome cases was 7.8 and 0.48, respectively. This indicated a 7.8‐fold increase in hyperglycosylated hCG levels in Down syndrome cases.<|endoftext|>• 94 women (18%) were non-persistent over a 2-year follow-up.

the simple acts would save. The Bush Administration estimates that expanded offshore drilling (McCain’s newfound passion) would meet 1 percent of our demand some two decades from now. Compare that to the instant 3 percent improvement in gas mileage by keeping tires inflated and the 4 percent improvement by doing regular maintenance. Even Republican Governors Arnold Schwarzenegger (CA) and Charlie Crist (FL) have made the same common sense point that McCain and the right wing are now mocking. It looks like the only joke here is McCain’s plan to continue selling out to Big Oil in a losing effort to drill our way out of an energy crisis. Perhaps McCain would do less damage if he just went back to ignoring these important energy issues.
Update: Now McCain has decided to sumbit to common knowledge and has said that now he doesn’t disagree with Obama on the importance of tire pressure. McCain reportedly said, “I don’t disagree with that. The American Automobile Association strongly recommends it.” Naturally his campaign continues to mock the idea.<|endoftext|>PROPAGATION & INTRODUCTION
The two-year-old Quarry Cove in the Yaquina Head Natural Area near Newport, Oregon represents the first transformation of a coastal quarry into an intertidal habitat for marine invertebrates. To create 0.9 hectares (2.3 acres) of tide pools at or below sea level, contractors excavated additional basalt from the floor of the abandoned quarry. While meeting ecological objectives, the designers also had to comply with the strict accessibility standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The careful grading of the quarry now allows both the adequate inand out-flow of tides and the close observation of marine life by all visitors.<|endoftext|>Comment on: Functional relationship between bacterial cell density and the efficacy of antibiotics.
Sir, We read with great interest the article by Udekwu et al. on the relationship between bacterial cell density and antibiotic efficacy. These authors have nicely shown by using in vitro time–kill, MIC estimation and antibiotic bioassay experiments modest or substantial inoculum effects on the efficacy of six antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus. Using a sophisticated mathematical model, the authors conclude that the course of antibiotic treatment can be affected by cell density and suggest that ‘PK/PD indices would be more predictive of the efficacy of antibiotics if, instead of using conventional estimates of the MIC, densitydependent functions of MICs were employed as the denominators of these indices’. We studied the possible therapeutic relevance of the inoculum effect shown by b-lactams against Escherichia coli strains by using in vitro and in vivo models, and Udekwu et al. comment on a couple of other papers of our group. However, we would like to add some other information that reinforces the main conclusion of their paper and that was obtained using a peritonitis-sepsis model in non-neutropenic and neutropenic mice treated with five different b-lactam antibiotics. We inoculated the b-lactam-susceptible E. coli ATCC 25922 strain in porcine gastric mucin at 1000 LD50 and antibiotics were administered at different dosages 1 h post-inoculation. In vitro MIC determinations using the standard (low) inoculum size ( 5 10 cfu/mL) and a large one ( 10 cfu/mL) demonstrated a great inoculum effect for piperacillin, aztreonam and cefotaxime, with a modest effect for cefazolin and a lesser one for ampicillin. Regression analysis of the pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic indices showed that the most significant parameters predicting the efficacy for the five b-lactams were those calculated when the MIC was determined using the large, rather than the standard, inoculum. Such good correlation was equally good for Cmax/MIC, t.MIC and AUC/MIC and was found in both non-neutropenic and neutropenic animals. On the other hand, the correlation between all the above-mentioned pharmacodynamic indices was extremely poor when calculated using a standard inoculum. Therefore, we concluded that ‘the time that the levels in serum exceed the MIC is a significant parameter determining the efficacies of b-lactam antibiotics, but the correlation is much better when the MICs obtained with the large inoculum instead of those obtained with the standard (low) inoculum are considered’. What was the rationale of these experiments? Pharmacodynamics is undoubtedly a very useful tool for selecting drugs, doses and intervals for treating infectious diseases and several indices for predicting efficacy are well established. If the time that the levels of a b-lactam exceed the MIC is the most significant pharmacodynamic index for predicting efficacy, it should be expected that with antibiotics for which MIC values (determined with standard inoculum) are very low, e.g. cefotaxime for some Gram-negative organisms, a low dose of such an antibiotic (50 mg rather than 1–2 g every 6–8 h as usually administered) should be sufficient. Experiments to test this prediction in patients would clearly be unethical, but such experiments have been carried out on small animals. What occurs if we administer a low dose of, for example, cefotaxime, piperacillin or aztreonam that achieves serum concentrations moderately above the MIC (determined with standard inoculum) during 30% to 50% of the dose interval? Simply, the animals die.<|endoftext|>The fishing bats of the world don’t quite conform to the standard stereotype of the flying mammals belonging to the Order Chiroptera—that is, a minuscule creature wheeling about at dusk to snag mosquitoes or moths out of the darkening sky. These specialized hunters swoop down upon small fish and other aquatic organisms in the manner of miniature ospreys or bald eagles. Only a few bats of the thousands of described species are known to regularly hunt fish. These include representatives of the vesper-bat family, such as the long-fingered bat of Eurasia and the fish-eating bat of Mexico, as well as two kinds of noctilionid bats: the greater and lesser bulldog bats of the Neotropics. Read on for more facts about fishing bats and their interesting behavioral patterns and diet.
Most bats are insectivores: Many use echolocation to pursue flying insects like moths on the wing. Others are nectar-eaters, performing essential pollination duties for various kinds of flowering plants. The largest of the world’s bats, the so-called flying foxes, feast both on fruits and nectar. Along with species that drink the blood of large mammals (the well-known vampire bats), frog-eating bats and others that occasionally target songbirds, fishing bats have some of the most unique diets—piscivorous, technically—of the order. Rarely do fishing bats prey exclusively on fish: The long-fingered bat, for example, hunts aquatic insects part of the year, and the fish-eating bat may actually feed more heavily on crustaceans.
One obvious fact about fishing bats is that most exhibit morphological traits that assist them in catching fish and other aquatic creatures. They tend to have relatively longer legs and hind feet than other bat species. According to the US Virgin Islands Division of Fish and Wildlife, for example, the clawed feet of the greater bulldog bat may be nearly four times as big as those of bats that don’t prey upon fish. The greater bulldog bat and some other piscivorous species like the fish-eating bats also have specialized tail and rear-membrane structures that allow their legs and claws to sieve freely at the surface of the water to snag small fish.
The US Virgin Islands Division of Fish and Wildlife describes the hunting habits of the greater bulldog bat. The foraging bat cruises within a few feet of the water’s surface, employing echolocation to identify the ripples that might betray a feeding fish. To capture its prey, the bat will then drop lower and runs its claws through the water. It may consume the fish on the wing or roost with it somewhere nearby. A 2008 study published in the Dartmouth Undergraduate Journal of Science investigated bulldog-bat foraging behavior in Costa Rica’s Rio Sirena Lagoon. The researchers suggested the bats preferred upstream hunting because calmer water there, beyond the most intense roiling of tidal currents, better served their echolocation–and possibly helped them avoid competition with and predation from aquatic hunters like bull sharks and American crocodiles.
Another little know facts of fishing bats, is that they are sensitive to a variety of environmental changes. Water pollution, for example, may affect them in the same manner it affects any higher-level aquatic predator. Habitat loss is also a major issue. The bats suffer not only from hydrological diversions and impoundments affecting their hunting grounds, but also from human intrusion into their roosting caves and crevices. Such highly specialized species as the island-dwelling fish-eating bat of Mexico also faces threats from introduced, non-native animals like rats.

Recent advances in wireless sensor networks have facilitate the realisation of pervasive health monitoring for both homecare and hospital environments. The concept of Body Sensor Networks (BSN) has been introduced recently where miniaturised wearable or implantable wireless sensors are used for continuous monitoring of patients. To facilitate research and development in BSN, a BSN hardware development platform, called BSN node, is proposed by Imperial College London. With its compact, low power and flexible design, the BSN nodes provide a versatile developing environment for pervasive healthcare applications.<|endoftext|>Effects of Haobie Yangyin Ruanjian decoction on hepatic fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride in rats.

If your cat is micro-chipped you can get a special cat flap which reads the microchip and allows only your cat to come in. But it's not cheap.
For a while we've been leaving our cat flap open and allowing Mog to come and go though the night as he pleases, as he likes to sleep in the greenhouse in the Summer. But we often wondered what he did while we were asleep. And a little while ago we had a suspicion that the new tom on the block might be coming in and stealing Mog's food.
But we weren't sure. So before spending £100 on getting Mog micro-chipped and fitting a fancy cat flap, I decided to apply a little technology to the problem.
I had pretty much all the bits I needed, so I set about building an automatic cat flap monitor.
A 3D accelerometer glued to the cat flap detects the tilt of the flap when it opens. This is continuously monitored by a Raspberry Pi, which also has a Pi camera attached. The Pi switches on a light and triggers the camera to start taking photos when it detects the cat flap opening.
All that is needed, then is each morning to review the photos taken the previous night, and to look for any evidence of the wrong cat. And as a result, the intruder has been successfully nabbed!
But can we automatically distinguish the foreign tom from Mog? No animal microchip reader seems to be easily and cheaply available. Could we automatically analyse the photos to determine the colour of the cat? Probably, but that sounds like hard work! Is there an easier way? Yes there is - read on! And how can we deter the wrong cat? I have a way, and no, it involves neither high voltages or cucumbers!
Step 1: What You Need
This is what you will need:
- A Raspberry Pi, case, power supply and SDCard with Raspbian installed. Any model of Pi will do including the Zero, except for the original Zero which lacks a camera port.
- A Raspberry Pi camera and case or mount. You will probably find it helpful also to get a longer camera ribbon than the default one that comes with the camera.
- A WiFi dongle, unless you are using a Pi 3, which has on-board WiFi. Alternatively you can use a powerline network adapter as I did, because I found the WiFi less than totally reliable, probably because my router is directly behind the central heating boiler from where I needed to locate the Pi.
- A 3D accelerometer module. I used the Pimoroni one, but the MPU-6050 or MPU-9150 (which I've used on different Instructables) will work just as well. I believe the newer MPU-9255 should work but I haven't tried it. It might need an updated library.
- A 12v LED lamp. One of the G4 SMD disk ones works very well, but anything that you can mount in a suitable position will do.
- A 12V power adapter. Mine was a very old Apple charger. (Early iPods could be charged from 12V.)
- An NPN power transistor, a 4.7K resistor, a small piece of stripboard, and a short length of pin strip.
- Connecting wire or ribbon cable, jumper leads, soldering iron, solder, wire cutters.
- A hot-melt glue gun for sticking the accelerometer to the cat flap, and blu-tack to hold wires and other bits in place.
Step 2: Switching the Light
The GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi can only switch 3.3V at a small current, so the 12V LED light must be driven by a transistor which can be controlled by a GPIO pin.
You can use almost any NPN power transistor, such as TIP31 (or TIP31A or TIP31C), BD135, BD237 or C1162 (2SC1162), but in order to use the stripboard layout unchanged, make sure the collector is the central lead. If you're not sure, an online search for the transistor type will find you a datasheet from which you can confirm which pin is which.
Cut a piece of stripboard to size and solder the transistor, resistor and pin strips to it as shown.
Using female to female jumper leads, connect the input pin to the Raspberry Pi GPIO pin 7 and the ground pin to the Raspberry Pi GPIO pin 6.
I used 2 strands cut from a spare length of ribbon cable to connect the lamp. If you use a G4 disk lamp you can unsolder the pins from the back of the disk and solder the wires in its place. Solder the other ends of the wires to the stripboard. These G4 lamps are designed to run on AC and so it doesn't matter which way round you connect it. If you use a DC lamp connect the positive and negative as shown.
Depending on what sort of 12V power supply you use the method of connection may vary. If it has a flying lead with a plug on the end you can cut off the plug and solder it to the stripboard. Alternatively, if it has a 2.1mm or 2.5mm power plug you can obtain a matching socket and connect this to the stripboard via a short flying lead. In either case it's very important to connect positive to positive and negative to negative.
You can hold the stripboard in place with blu-tac, somewhere between the Raspberry Pi and the lamp. Blu-tac is also a good way to hold the wires neatly in place.
The pair of pins in the centre of the board are for testing. If you short them together (with or without the Raspberry Pi connected) the lamp should light.
Step 3: Attaching the Accelerometer
If you use the Pimoroni accelerometer you may wish to remove the connector and solder a length of 4-way ribbon cable directly to it, long enough to reach the Raspberry Pi. (With care, you can lift off the black housing - it doesn't come off willingly - then unsolder the 26 gold plated inserts individually. If you want to you can push the inserts back into the housing in order to reuse the connector.)
The ribbon cable should connect GPIO pins 1, 3, 5 and 9 to the corresponding pins on the accelerometer.
In the case of the MPU-6050 or MPU-9150 you can solder the 4-way ribbon cable directly to it. These often come with a separate pin strip which you can use if you want to. You can use it instead on the stripboard in the previous step.
On these accelerometers the connections are labelled. Connect them as follows:
GPIO Accelerometer 1 Vcc 3 SDA 5 SCL 9 Gnd
Where the wires are soldered to the accelerometer (whichever type you use) they will be under strain as the cat flap opens. A blob of hot-melt glue will prevent the wires from flexing and eventually breaking at the solder joint.
The accelerometer should be positioned such that the positive z axis points downwards with the flap fully open in an inward direction, and horizontal with the flap closed. (It's quite easy to modify the program if that isn't possible.)
Carefully position the accelerometer on the flap of the catflap as near as possible to the hinge, but making sure it doesn't foul the catflap frame when it opens inwards completely. There needs to be sufficient slack on the ribbon cable to allow it to open outwards completely. Now fix it to the flap with a hot melt glue gun.
If you need to remove it later you can cut through the glue with a sharp craft knife. Warming it with a hair dryer or a heat gun on a low setting will make this easier.
Secure the ribbon cable to the cat flap frame with blu-tac, leaving just enough slack to allow the flap to open fully in either direction. You can keep the ribbon cable in place at other points on the door and the wall with blu-tac.
The easiest way to connect the ribbon cable to the Raspberry Pi GPIO connector is probably to cut two female to female jumper leads in half, and solder these to the 4 strands of the ribbon cable. Insulate the joins with PVC tape.
Step 4: Setting It Up
There are plenty of tutorials coving the basic set up and operation of the Raspberry Pi. Unless you have room for a keyboard, mouse and monitor close the the cat flap you will need to set it up to run "headless", i.e. operated remotely using PuTTy or VNC over your home network.
In your home directory on the Raspberry Pi, create a directory called "catflap" and into it dowload catflap.py and either XLoBorg.py or MPU9150.py, depending on which accelerometer you are using.
If you're using the MPU-9150 you need to edit catflap.py. Change these lines near the top of the file:
from XLoBorg import * #from MPU9150 import *
to:
#from XLoBorg import * from MPU9150 import *
To test that everything is working, at a Terminal or PuTTy session, type:
cd catflap python catflap.py
(Don't repeat the cd command if you've already done it in the same Terminal or PuTTy session.)
If you now open the catflap the light should come on and the camera should start taking photos. These will be stored in a daily subdirectory of catflap |

By Leon Harris. New York: Harper & Row, Publishers, 1979. Pp. 411. $12.95
moved north from Houston. This move resulted in stores in nine towns and in 1872, the establishment of the Dallas store. The firm remained a family affair although a partner participated for a while. By the time of the Dallas opening Isaac had returned to New York to handle buying and credit, and brother Alex came from Cincinnati to run the Dallas store. From that time on the Sangers greatly influenced the rapid growth of the city, which was accelerated when the Panic of 1873 stopped railroad building and allowed Dallas to consolidate its position. By the late 1870s Sangers closed its railroad-town stores and concentrated on those in Dallas and Waco. Brother Phillip joined Alex in Dallas, and between 1876 and 1902 the firm expanded rapidly. The store departmentalized, adopted credit, established mail orders, utilized newspaper advertising, and added customer delivery and a monthly magazine. The decline started when the brothers began to die. Each possessed a particular talent and replacements had not been trained. Rosenberg, whose story really ends in 1926 with the sale of Sangers to Stifel, Nicholous & Co., places most of the blame on Alex for his failure to make hard business decisions. This seems unduly harsh, for the firm had been run as a team, and Alex could not have been expected to carry the entire management load. It seems instead that the company was fairly typical of a family-operated firm that failed to prepare for the future. The outcome of the story was inevitable. Because of neglect, an all-too-common bane of firms, Rosenberg did not find available many company records or family correspondence. Thus, most of the story is reconstructed from secondary works and newspapers. Noticeably absent is much information on the highly competitive merchandising market in the Dallas economy, which may have caused as much difficulty as inept management. The author recognizes and makes the most of what he had, but business historians will find the volume of minimal use. Rosenberg, however, has added a great deal to regional and state history, and the book captures extremely well the spirit of the area and its people.<|endoftext|>Evolutionary genetics of the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene (icd) in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica
Sequences of the icd gene, encoding isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), were obtained for 33 strains representing the major phylogenetic lineages of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica. Evolutionary relationships of the strains based on variation in icd are generally similar to those previously obtained for several other housekeeping and for invasion genes, but the sequences of S. enterica subspecies V strains are unusual in being almost intermediate between those of the other S. enterica subspecies and E. coli. For S. enterica, the ratio of synonymous (silent) to nonsynonymous (replacement) nucleotide substitutions between pairs of strains was larger than comparable values for 12 other housekeeping and invasion genes, reflecting unusually strong purifying selection against amino acid replacement in the IDH enzyme. All amino acids involved in the catalytic activity and conformational changes of IDH are strictly conserved within and between species. In E. coli, the level of variation at the 3' end of the gene is elevated by the presence in some strains of a 165-bp replacement sequence supplied by the integration of either lambdoid phage 21 or defective prophage element e14. The 72 members of the E. coli Reference Collection (ECOR) and five additional E. coli strains were surveyed for the presence of phage 21 (as prophage) by PCR amplification of a phage 21-specific fragment in and adjacent to the host icd, and the sequence of the phage 21 segment extending from the 3' end of icd through the integrase gene (int) was determined in nine strains of E. coli. Phage 21 was found in 39% of E. coli strains, and its distribution among the ECOR strains is nonrandom. In two ECOR strains, the phage 21 int gene is interrupted by a 1,313-bp insertion element that has 99.3% nucleotide sequence identity with IS3411 of E. coli. The phylogenetic relationships of phage 21 strains derived from sequences of two different genomic regions were strongly incongruent, providing evidence of frequent recombination.<|endoftext|>Interresponse-time punishment: a basis for shock-maintained behavior.
Lever pressing of squirrel monkeys postponed brief electric shock according to a free-operant shock-postponement procedure. Pressing also produced shock with a probability proportional to the duration of the current interresponse time in some conditions, or to the fifth ordinally-preceding interresponse time in others. These conditions provided equal frequencies and temporal distributions of response-produced shocks either contingent on or independent of the current interresponse-time duration, respectively. Shock delivered contingent on the current interresponse-time duration resulted in shorter mean interresponse times and higher overall response rates that shock delivered independent of the current interresponse time. In subsequent conditions, response-produced shocks were sufficient to maintain responding following suspension of the postponement procedure only when those shocks were contingent on the current interresponse time. Presenting shock independent of the current interresponse time, conversely, suppressed response rate and ultimately led to cessation of responding in the absence of a conjoint shock-postponement procedure. These results demonstrate interresponse-time punishment in the absence of any indirect avoidance contingencies based on overall shock-frequency reduction, and strongly support similar interpretation at the more local level of shock-frequency reduction correlated with particular interresponse times. Differential punishment of long interresponse times also provides both an a priori basis for predicting whether a schedule of shock presentation will maintain or suppress responding and a framework for interpreting many of the functional relations between overall response rate and parameters of consequent shock presentation. Finally, these results and others indicate the importance of response-consequence contiguity above and beyong any notion of noncontiguous contingency in the control of behavior.<|endoftext|>Bevacizumab treatment of patients with breast cancer is associated with induction of MYH11.

In developing countries like India, the level of awareness about quality management practices (QMP) in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has increased recently. This study attempts to develop and validate a QMP scale for manufacturing SMEs. Using Pareto analysis vital QMP factors were identified and questionnaire was administered to 750 SMEs with 68.5% response rate. In order to extract and validate the latent factors, exploratory factor analysis coupled with confirmatory factor analysis was used. Further, structural equation modelling (SEM) was deployed for determining interrelationships of extracted factors. This resulted in seven-QMP factors with R = (0.50-0.81) and R-squared values ranged between 0.23-0.66 representing the variation in 35 items. The study contributes to QMP literature, by bestowing empirical data on QMP factors which are more appropriate for manufacturing SMEs. Though the study was conducted in Indian SMEs context, the research outcomes may be applicable for general manufacturing firms with slight modifications.<|endoftext|>Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with methotrexate alone, sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine, or a combination of all three medications.
BACKGROUND
Rheumatoid arthritis is a common disease that causes substantial morbidity and mortality. The responses of patients with rheumatoid arthritis to treatment with a single so-called disease-modifying drug, such as methotrexate, are often suboptimal. Despite limited data, many patients are treated with combinations of these drugs.
METHODS
We enrolled 102 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and poor responses to at least one disease-modifying drug in a two-year, double-blind, randomized study of treatment with methotrexate alone (7.5 to 17.5 mg per week), the combination of sulfasalazine (500 mg twice daily) and hydroxychloroquine (200 mg twice daily), or all three drugs. The dose of methotrexate was adjusted in an attempt to achieve remission in all patients. The primary and point of the study was the successful completion of two years of treatment with 50 percent improvement in composite symptoms of arthritis and no evidence of drug toxicity.
RESULTS
Fifty of the 102 patients had 50 percent improvement at nine months and maintained at least that degree of improvement for two years without evidence of major drug toxicity. Among them were 24 of 31 patients treated with all three drugs (77 percent), 12 of 36 patients treated with methotrexate alone (33 percent, P < 0.001 for the comparison with the three-drug group), and 14 of 35 patients treated with sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine (40 percent), P = 0.003 for the comparison with the |

Thanks for the interesting post. Regarding the feature and target centering when using NN shouldn’t this step be unnecessary if the NN layers have biases?
It generally helps convergence since you don’t have to move biases as much and in this case you really want them to be centered if you’re multiplied by -1.

Each colony is built around a king and a queen, and reproduction is the sole purpose of termites. I strongly suggest you to visit Termite Control Near Me to learn more about this.
Termites enter more than 2 million structures per year, causing millions of dollars in harm per year. Termites were a significant problem for land owners, causing annual harm of $2 billion. Termites are so smart and effective that no attempt has been entirely productive at termite-proof building methods. Termites live concealed within wood, so are therefore hard to spot. They pose a significant and persistent hazard to every home ‘s worth. So many occasions we see a portion of the house drop, this brings on a symbol of pest activity.
After treatment or termite service some area needs to be treated again because termites also can usually find gaps in the application of pesticide, and can get into your house anyway even if most of it is protected.
If an established pest control operator needs facilities, notify at least two or three credible companies in your region for assessments and maintenance estimates. As with the application of pesticides to the soil, it is recommended to hire licensed, experienced pest control firms to provide a baiting service. It is not always appropriate to use synthetic and toxic materials, and we provide outstanding service and quality assurance while upholding our commitment to environmental protection.

I am here to share my awareness and my un-awareness.
And I found it very amazing.
It is absolutely amazing to have the feeling of air getting into your body through the nostrils and then through the wind pipe getting into your lungs.
This is what I had been told about the experience you will receive.
But it had always confounded me that how can I have the same feeling about it as others.
Why should I behave the same? How can I tell whether I will get that particular result if I haven’t even tried it?
I had a brilliant brainwave. What if I had to relive my life as if I am completely unaware and even bereft of the sciences, the language of communication and all the privileges that we have today and with just the same body as is now (without clothes obviously) and also the intelligence of the brain.
If I am left to myself in this new found existence, universe, HOW WOULD I PROGRESS (IN EVERYWAY POSSIBLE) TO GET INTO THE LEVEL OF PROGRESS THE HUMANITY HAS GAINED THROUGH THE AGES???
For this instance, HOW WOULD I KNOW OF MY BREATHING?
How do I believe it that it actually moves through the wind pipe and into the lungs where it helps in supplying the circulation of oxygen to each and every cell of my body and also the circulation of pure blood in the above stated places!
I can’t just believe!
NOW, when I look upon the way I breathe in the air, moment to moment, I start feeling the air dissolving into just energy and vibrations are set around my entire body, perhaps even farther.
Just one breath and I am in bliss.
Not that I could have experienced such bliss the billion times I had breathed in my life!!
But I wanted to go even deeper than just a momentous bliss. So I just feel the breath even closer and even slower.
I start to fell every cell, every matter in me and around me to be lit. I can finally actually see my constituents to its finest details (that of just pure energy)!!!
The more I felt it, the more I realized that I forgot to breathe out. My respiration just got slower and slower, about to go infinitely away into some blissful continuum.
THE MUSIC INSIDE ME, THE SPACE INSIDE ME STARTED TO VIBRATE AND JIGGLE IN SOME SOUGHT OF A UNIVERSAL TUNE.
I HAD FORGOTTEN COMPLETELY ABOUT WHY I WASBREATHING IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I lost myself to the music in me.
I experienced limitless energy flow every where around me and then I became one of the energy flows.
I felt like dissolving into nothing and yet everything.
i felt like i just warped out of any physical laws governed space and time.
no event occured, for it was just being my self.
that was when i snapped out feeling tremendously energetic, just becaue i became aware of the very small energies inside me and out too.
i did not wish to be in tthe same mode for long...
too much bliss at a time will obliterate my existence completely.
now i can go to that stage of bliss even for small period of time and be back.
it helps a lot in many situations where a simple respiration can just let you go of any ill.<|endoftext|>Team of 8 who are all remote and maintain 100 production reports.

Like most local jurisdictions, the Stevensville Town Council had been meeting virtually when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit last spring. They went back to "in person" council meetings in early summer, using a larger venue at the Stevensville Library to promote social distancing.
But when COVID cases started to climb in the Bitterroot, the council went back to online. That decision prompted some residents to stage protests a couple of weeks ago, calling on the council to return to "in person" meetings, borrowing a larger venue if necessary.

So here’s your guide to some Halloween favorites that make for a boo-tiful Halloween marathon full of tricks and treats.
What better way to start Halloween than with a cult classic? In this movie, a skeptical teenager accidentally reawakens three wicked witches. When that happens, he, his sister, his friend and a boy stuck in a cat’s body have to stop the witches from destroying the world and killing innocent children. In the meantime, the three witches have to quickly learn about the modern world, namely that Halloween is a holiday where children dress as witches, not when witches cast curses. “Hocus Pocus” is not the most frightening movie, but it will definitely cast a spell on your evening and set the mood for the scarier movies to come.
“Halloweentown” is the cornerstone of all Halloween movie marathons. The movie follows Marnie Cromwell and her siblings on Marnie’s 13th Halloween. While their mother tries to restrain the children’s fascination with all things Halloween, their grandmother actively encourages it. The children follow their grandmother to her home in Halloweentown, where they discover that they’re descendants of a long line of powerful witches. Their revelation comes at a good time, because Halloweentown needs all of the Cromwells to protect the citizens from a growing evil. “Halloweentown” embodies everything Halloween, with monsters, witches, magic and curses.
Get ready for the scarier side of the Halloween marathon. Meet Freddy Krueger in one of the original slasher films. A group of four teenagers all have the same nightmare: a man with long, blade-like nails chases them to a boiler room, where he prepares to kill them. At first, the teenagers wake up in time to avoid his blade, but when one girl’s nightmare ends with her real-life murder, the other teenagers become frightened. Nancy, one of the teenagers, learns that the man of her nightmares was once a murderer, but the parents of the neighborhood had killed him years ago. This film is not for the easily frightened, as Freddy might haunt your nightmares after viewing this movie.
“Insidious” will make you wish you were watching a movie that’s only about a possessed house. When their son falls from a ladder in the attic of their new home, Josh and Renai take him to the hospital and try to make their house safer. When nothing they do can stop the supernatural forces that seem to reside there, Josh and Renai call in some experts – paranormal investigators. The investigators explain what is causing the paranormal activity. It’s not their house; it’s their son. Find something to cover your face, because the final scary movie of the marathon is next.
End your holiday marathon with the eponymous film. When a six-year-old Michael Myers kills his sister, the authorities tried to get him help. Then they tried to keep him locked up. Now he has escaped and plans on terrorizing his old neighborhood. “Halloween” will make you jump with fear and question what is right and wrong. The film spawned a whole franchise of movies following serial killer Michael Myers, but watch the original to see why his name lives in infamy.

That is how “Primitive Number # 3” was born, a chair obtained by curving a multilayered panel of ash wood and beechwood (the ash wood was used to cover the external part of the multilayer and the beechwood for the internal). Its name originates from a game of subtraction: 4 are the legs usually present in a common chair, 1 (the number of wooden panels used) is the neutral element, 4 – 1=3, the result is in fact 3 (the number of strips of wood used) a prime number considered to be the perfect number. The wood was left in its natural state in order to enhance its tactile quality. The three parallel strips also have a double function, structural support, and seating. With regards to the metallic part of the chair back, as with the 4², it traces the profile of two mirrored flags making the two chairs belonging to the “Equations for Dreamers” collection much alike. The chair back, shaped by a hollow reinforcing rod that gives it a greater structural lightness, also has the function of tying the three strips of wood together by using 6 eye-catching colored screws. The choice of color is once again subtle and delicate according to the dream state pattern that inspired the designer.
Dimensions: Total height 85cm, width 50cm, thickness 50cm.
Material: Multilayer of ash wood, beechwood, and hollow reinforcing rod.
The “4²” ideally recalls elementary school chairs reinterpreted in a modern way by looking on the funny side in order to bring back memories that are often lost. Dreams and numerical-mathematical logic are a constant feature of the collection that “4²” belongs to (Equations for Dreamers). The four legs usually present in a chair have in fact been elevated to the square. The supporting structure is made of a hollow reinforcing rod and, in the part forming the chair back, traces the profile of two stylized and mirrored flags. An evocative image that influenced the designer after she stayed in the United States, where she was struck by the remarkable presence of flags due to the profound American patriotism. The chair back is joined to the wooden seat (multilayer of Finnish birch plywood) by 4 eye-catching colored screws. The contemporary shapes are highlighted by curved but essential lines, all placed in a romantic and surreal perspective. The line is geometrical and the ergonomic proportions have been slightly increased all the while maintaining its artistic character and design, nicely rendered by its light and delicate coloring.
Material: Multilayer of birch and hollow reinforcing rod.<|endoftext|>Most know Nicole Curtis as the star of the HGTV home improvement show, Rehab Addict. But she has been more famous lately for the problems in her personal life.
Nicole Curtis just can’t seem to catch a break. The Rehab Addict opened up about the delay for the popular show’s eighth season. There is no doubt that her personal issues are a spanner in the works. From the time Nicole Curtis was pregnant, the home improvement extraordinaire has been going through a lot. Her baby daddy, ex-husband, and business, have all become hot topics of the media. Here’s everything to know about her in our Nicole Curtis wiki.
She is a licensed realtor and interior designer, who advocates for the preservation and restoration of existing architecture over demolition when feasible. Curtis buys historic yet neglected properties and restores them.
Believe it or not, she once bought a house for $1.00, and after $100,000 in fixes, she sold it for $145,000! At 18, she bought her first house and paid only $600 a month for the Florida home. She also worked with LeBron James and his foundation to renovate the home of a family in need.
The DIY Network was looking for a real estate agent in the Minneapolis area, when they stumbled upon Curtis’ web site and work. The producers were so intrigued that they called her in for a test shoot. The rest, we know, is history.
With her widely successful business and a popular TV show, Nicole Curtis has amassed a net worth of $5.0 million.

This study investigated the potential protective role of aqueous leafextracts of Chromolaena odorata and Tridax procumbens against pulmonary toxicity induced by doxorubicin. To this end, the effects of these extracts on the profiles of pulmonary biomarkers, lipids and electrolytes were monitored in doxorubicin-treated rats. Doxorubicin was intraperitoneally administered at 15 mg/kg body weight (48 h prior to sacrifice); metformin was orally administered daily at 250 mg/kg body weight (for 14 days); and both extracts were orally administered daily at 50, 75 and 100 mg/kg body weight (for 14 days).The concentrations of pulmonary malondialdehyde, cholesterol, triglyceride, calcium, chloride and sodium of Test control were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those of the other groups. However, the concentrations of pulmonary ascorbic acid, reduced glutathione, magnesium and potassium as well as pulmonary catalase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities of Test control were significantly lower (P < 0.05) than those of the other groups.The administration of the extracts prevented doxorubicin-induced adverse alterations in the profiles of pulmonary biomarkers of oxidative stress, cholesterol and electrolytes and maintained them within the normal ranges .Therefore, these herbal preparations from C. odorata and T. procumbens are promising candidates for the prevention/alleviation of doxorubicin-induced pulmonary toxicity.<|endoftext|>Our stream side house is a great launching pad for adventures in the Southern Adirondacks (skiing at Gore, cross country skiing at Garnet Hill Lodge, rafting in the Hudson River, hiking, mountain biking, exploring pristine Thirteenth Lake....). It is also a wonderful spot for relaxing and spending time with friends and family: making a fire in the fire pit along 13th Brook, playing board games, reading a book while listening to the stream... A great place to play hard and rejuvenate.
Front Porch: There is a screened in front porch which is excellent for holding gear (bikes, skis, backpacks etc.). We also use it to store some sleds, snow toys, beach noodles, 2 beach chairs etc.
Front Living Area: The front door opens into the 1st of two living spaces. To the left is a long bench and to the right is a couch (that is long enough to sleep on), two side chairs and the dinning table.
Downstairs Bathroom: The downstairs bathroom (which has a bathtub) is across from the dining area.
Downstairs Bedroom: The downstairs bedroom has a single room and you can fit another person on a foam fold out mattress (stored in the upstairs bedroom closet). Unlike air mattresses, this one doesn’t deflate at the worst possible time but it is a bit smaller than a regular twin sized mattress.
Kitchen: The kitchen is between the two living spaces. It is small, but has all the necessities including some fun extras (a rice cooker, slow cooker and an espresso machine) and two stools for seating at the mini peninsula. As with many houses, we always all end up in the kitchen and given the location and layout of the kitchen it somehow holds more than you would imagine.
Back Living Area (yellow room): At the back of the house is the second living area with a sofa (technically you can sleep on this, but it would be tough for a tall person) and two side chairs plus access to the back deck. This is my favorite room because it overlooks the stream and you can hear the stream while relaxing on the sofa. There are games and a tv in the unit along the wall. Note, we have Netflix (and you can access other websites) and videos, but no cable. We also have a smart speaker.
The Back Deck: The back deck isn’t huge, but it gets a lot of sun and is a great spot for watching and listening to the stream. If you’re lucky you’ll see the grey heron.
Upstairs First Bedroom (king bed): The back bedroom has a king bed plus room (if you put in the corner in place of the black chair) for a fold out cot (found in the closet). You can’t see the stream, but you can hear it.
Upstairs Second Bedroom: The front bedroom has two twin beds.
Upstairs Bathroom: The upstairs bathroom is smaller but gets the job done and has a shower.
Workspace: While there is no dedicated desk, we’ve worked at the dining room table and the off-white side table in the yellow room (just pull up the director chair).
If you have any questions at all, please reach out. I'm happy to answer any questions. I will even tell you the pros and cons, nothing is perfect you just have to figure out what best suites your needs.
While we just listed our house in Aug 2020, our house is not new to Airbnb. In the past, a local realtor (a great guy who is so knowledgeable about the area) managed rentals, including with a listing on Airbnb. Sadly he is no longer managing rentals and I couldn't figure out how to move the reviews from his listing to our listing. We got positive reviews with a caveat - one guest didn't like that we have well water. I agree with them, I wish we didn't have to use well water, but that's life in the Adirondacks.
I will provide access instructions prior to arrival. It is pretty low tech.
No parties , no pets and no smoking please. Because of Covid concerns, our cleaning person will not be coming in immediately after you leave so you will need to take the trash (either back home with you or to the dump). Sorry for the inconvenience.
North River - We’re in North River a small town about 10 minutes north of North Creek. My favorite part of the drive is the stretch on Route 28 between North Creek and North River winding along the Hudson River.
North Creek - Most retail (including a Tops supermarket and a hardware store that doubles as a general store) is in the village of North Creek, about 10 mins south of the house, off Route 28.
North Creek Mural - The Adirondack theme mosaic mural (opposite Cafe’s Sharah) is a must see.
Restaurants - We tend to eat in (shopping at the supermarket in North Creek). You may want to grab some smoked items at Oscar’s Smokehouse in Warrensburg. If we go out, Bar Vino in North Creek was our go to place for delicious food with a great selection of beer on tap and wine, but it is now 21 and over which makes things tricky for us. Becks Taverns, specializing in German/American food, is another favorite - they also have live music in a yurt and outside. We also love Cafe Sarah for her baked goods and Izzy’s for their sandwiches. If you’re interested in a big sports bar try Basil and Wicks a little south of North Creek. You can also enjoy a beer and/or food and beautiful views at Garnet Hill Lodge, less than 10 minutes further up Thirteenth Lake Road.
Gore Mountain is about 15 minutes away about 5 miles back down 28, then turn right and right again, and up you go.
North Creek Ski Bowl is a small mountain on its own (maybe a bit bigger than Colgate’s hill), just before the Gore turnoff as you head south. Great for small kids and beginners, and when there’s good snow, it is connected to the main mountain. Pro Tip: if the connection is open, park at the Ski Bowl, buy your tickets there (no line, no massive parking lot, no shuttle, no long walk . . .) and start your day by heading up on the Hudson Chair and connect to Gore when you’re ready. Very civilized! Just make sure you either (a) get back before they close the return connector (you can still ski this when it’s closed, but they don’t patrol it), or (b) drop a second car at Gore base and shuttle back to the Ski Bowl at the end of the day. There is also night skiing and XC skiing at the Ski Bowl (all accessible if you have a Gore lift ticket). I believe it’s also possible to buy a cheaper lift ticket that allows access only to the Ski Bowl.
You can also make the drive up to WhiteFace or try the smaller mountains south. Our family loves Gore so much we rarely stray.
Garnet Hill Lodge offers cross country skiing, snowshoeing and winter biking. You can also hit the trails around Thirteenth Lake although they are not groomed. Feel free to use the snowshoes in the basement.
If you’re up for a drive try Mount Van Hoevenberg in Lake Placid (a massive complex) or Lapland Lake (a hidden gem).
Summer Activities - There is so much to do in the summer: hiking, rafting, swimming up at Thirteen Lake (continue up the road and take a left onto Beach Road, a dirt road) or Minerva Lake (about 20 minutes away, with bathrooms, a playground and a snack bar plus you can rent a kayak, canoe or stand up paddle board), rock hopping in the stream, fishing…... Check out Dunkley Falls in Warrensburg, a swimming hole with a cliff jump. If you’re looking for a bigger lake, try Indian Lake, Schroon Lake, Friends Lake or Lake George. |

being marketed? Unless the opposing party is prepared to admit the fact in question, the party asserting the fact will need to prove it by experiment.
Experimental evidence is permitted in a number of jurisdictions in Europe, including in oppositions at the European Patent Office (EPO). However, the most rigorous testing of experimental evidence, and therefore the most reliable evidence, is in the High Court of England and Wales.
Any party may submit a report of an experiment at the EPO or in a civil law trial, but the content of that report cannot be challenged in cross-examination and there is little opportunity to explore the details of the experiment or how the experimental protocol was decided
upon. There is therefore scope for what Lord Justice Jacob, a former Court of Appeal judge, called ‘‘litigation chemistry,’’ by which he meant that experimental protocols can be finessed in order to obtain the ‘‘correct’’ result. The procedure at the High Court of England and Wales ensures that experimental evidence can be thoroughly tested by the opposing side.
A party wishing to rely on an experiment to prove a fact in High Court proceedings must first serve on the other side a Notice of Experiments. This is a formal document, usually served after disclosure or discovery and before expert evidence is exchanged, which sets out the facts which the party seeks to establish and gives full particulars of the experiments proposed to establish them (CPR 63 PD 7.1). The party receiving the Notice must respond stating whether or not each fact is admitted and may request the opportunity to inspect a repetition of some or all of the experiments detailed in the Notice.
The party seeking to rely on the experiment must then apply to court for permission, which will generally be granted unless the court deems the experiment’s expense
disproportionate to the probative value, and the party will then repeat the experiment in the presence of the opposition. The witnessed repeat will then be the results that will be relied on at the trial, not the results included in the original Notice. The party seeking to rely on the experiments will include in the trial documents a copy of the Notice, a copy of a report of the repeat, and an expert witness will give evidence as to what the experiments prove. The expert can be cross-examined on any aspect of the design, the repeat, and the significance of the experiments.
The opposing party may wish to conduct its own experiments, either to prove facts it wishes to prove in reply, or to try to disprove facts seemingly proven by the first round of experiments.
A ‘‘live’’ performance in any industry inevitably entails risk, and live scientific experiments are no exception. Experiments can fail and if it fails during the witnessed repeat then the party seeking to rely on those experiments will all of a sudden have a missing link in the chain of evidence on which they rely. They will not be permitted to rely on the data in the Notice of Experiments unless the judge agrees and even then very little weight will be given to it. So, how best to prepare and design experiments so as to minimize the risk of them failing?
First, the golden rule is to keep experiments simple. The more complicated the experiment, the more likely it is to go wrong. Ascertain the narrowest facts to be proven by experiment and design the simplest experiment sufficient to prove those facts. Anything more is a hostage to fortune.
For example, I was once involved in a case which hinged on the question of whether or not a skilled team would have identified a new member of a virus family. In order to identify the new member at the priority date, the skilled person would have had to obtain tissue infected by the virus, extract template DNA from that tissue, design some PCR (polymerase chain reaction) primers and then perform PCR on the extracted DNA using those primers.
At first it seemed that we would have to repeat that entire experiment in order to prove our point. However, on reflection we realized that certain steps, such as obtaining infected tissue and extracting the DNA, would have been routine at the time and there was no need for us to repeat them and to risk them going wrong. The only critical fact we needed to prove was that the primers our expert says he would have used would have worked. We therefore simplified the experiment down to the single, easily performed step of testing the primers in a PCR experiment on some pre-prepared DNA.
The opposition objected, saying that our experiment did not prove that the skilled person could have conducted all the steps of the experiment at the priority date, because we used reagents unavailable at the priority date, namely the purified DNA of the then unknown virus. At trial the judge agreed with us that those were routine steps and that any competent laboratory would have been able to execute them. Our simple experiment worked and proved to be valuable evidence that the primers the skilled person would have selected would have been effective.
Second, the expert witness who will testify at the trial about the experiment and what it proves must be fully involved in designing the protocol. The expert must be able to explain and justify all decisions relating to the design and execution of the experiment. If the expert is asked a question and answers unconvincingly, the evidential value of the experiment will be lessened.
Third, try not adjust the protocol over a series of ‘‘work up’’ experiments until you obtain the ‘‘correct’’ result. Documents relating to work up experiments must be disclosed to the other side, and if it is apparent from those work up experiments that various conditions or other aspects of the protocol had to be finessed in order to make the experiment give the desired result, then that may well reduce the evidential value of the experiment.
Fourth, practice the experiment. Laboratory technicians are not robots and can get nervous when conducting an experiment in the presence of eminent professors, half a dozen lawyers and other assorted hangers on (including, usually, a video recorder). Practice makes perfect and so if it is not too expensive then it is well worth performing a dry run or two (note these are not work up experiments, but dry runs).
Experimental protocols tend to be designed carefully, and sometimes the carefully designed protocol conceals a gift to the other side. Success or failure of an experiment can depend on seemingly small factors so it is important, when witnessing a repeat, to take a note of every detail no matter how seemingly insignificant. Once back in the office the team can pore over the details to try to identify aspects of the protocol on which the opposition’s expert should be cross-examined.
As mentioned above, it is open to either side to conduct Experiments in Reply. This could be a repeat of the other side’s protocol under different conditions in order to show a different result.
In a case I worked on our client had based an anticipation attack on a patent on the existence of an experimental protocol in a scientific journal dated before the priority date. Our client the claimed the protocol produced, when followed, compound X, the subject of the patent. When our expert conducted an experiment following that protocol it resulted in compound X. However, when the other side ‘‘followed’’ the protocol no compound X was produced. At first glance both sides appeared to be conducting an identical experiment but producing different results. On closer inspection, our expert realized that the other side was using a different filter paper for a particular step of the experiment. Crucially, the prior art protocol specified a particular brand and pore size filter paper, which our expert had used, but the other side did not. The different filter paper appeared to prevent the production of compound X. It was a small and seemingly insignificant detail on which the fate of the patent turned.
Assuming your experimental evidence survives the witnessed repeat and cross-examination of your expert at trial unscathed then it can be extremely useful and reliable evidence when deployed in other jurisdictions. It is very difficult for a foreign judge or an EPO Examiner to gainsay evidence that has been through the mill of the intensive English proceedings and survived all attacks.
Conversely, an experimental report submitted at the EPO, unwitnessed and not subjected to cross examination, can be discredited fairly easily if later put into High Court proceedings. Experimental evidence prepared for U.S. proceedings has often been finessed to the point of becoming ‘‘litigation chemistry’’ and it can therefore be difficult to use it in English High Court proceedings. It is generally best to start afresh.
Seeking to rely on experimental evidence is high risk but can be high reward. There is no answer to a welldesigned and focused experiment used to prove a particular point. When designing the experiment, the aim should always be to remove any unnecessary frills: the simpler the better. When analyzing the opponent’s experiments, look closely at each choice of technique and reagent and question why it was used.

In leveraged buyouts, the hottest trend on Wall Street in the late 1980's, investors using borrowed money, often raised by issuing high-yield ''junk bonds,'' buy up the stock of a company. In other cases, the managers of companies increased their debt to make their companies less attractive to hostile bidders.
'Profits to Bondholders'
Robert S. McIntyre, the director of Citizens for Tax Justice, a research organization sponsored by organized labor, told the senators he agreed with Mr. Reischauer's analysis. ''Corporations are sending their profits to bondholders rather than paying dividends to shareholders and taxes to the Treasury,'' he said.
Mr. Rosen said, however, that leveraged buyouts might actually have increased corporate profits, and thus tax payments, by leading to more efficient management. The data on tax payments collected so far, he said, are ''inadequate to make definitive statements.''
Mr. Reischauer and Mr. Rosen more or less agreed about other circumstances that had reduced corporate profits, including higher than anticipated interest rates and larger than expected increases in wages and salaries, which led to higher individual tax collections.<|endoftext|>Before the event, Nursultan Nazarbayev familiarized himself with the expositions of the Centre’s museum, including paintings by the studio of military artists devoted to Kazakhstan’s Army, the Orbulak Battle diorama and the projection exhibition using 3D-mapping show.
Speaking at the festive meeting, the President of Kazakhstan congratulated all those present on the beginning of Zhas Sarbaz activity, the purpose of which lies in patriotic education of young people. In this regard, the Head of State emphasized the importance of forming the national spirit and deeply studying the country’s history.
"One of the significant issues of the recently published Address to Kazakhstan’s Nation is patriotic education. If we are unable to protect our homeland, then everything we have done over the 27 years of independence will lose its value," Nursultan Nazarbayev said.
The President of Kazakhstan noted that all measures taken by the government today are aimed at creating favourable conditions for the future generation.
"All this is for the youth, being our future. All the work being done is aimed at ensuring that your life is better than ours, so that Kazakhstan becomes even more prosperous," the Head of State addressed the movement’s young members.
Nursultan Nazarbayev called on the youth to actively join the ranks of the members of Zhas Sarbaz.
"Zhas Sarbaz movement should appear in all regions of our country. Young people should be in the ranks of this movement. Therefore, you need to go in for physical culture, to master military specialties. The movement together with Defence Ministry should take an active part in the process of educating patriots. And only then you will become a support for your nation," the President of Kazakhstan said.
The Kazakh leader focused on the article "Seven Faces of the Great Steppe" in strengthening Kazakhstan’s patriotism.
Nursultan Nazarbayev also noted the importance of maintaining stability and interethnic harmony for the benefit of prosperity of Kazakhstan’s society.
"There are many ethnic groups in our country, and we are all citizens of Kazakhstan. We have a rich history, thanks to which we have absorbed tolerance and respect. These values unite our Kazakhstan, making it a strong and respected state. Therefore, being a patriot is our common duty," the President of Kazakhstan emphasized.
In conclusion, the Head of State wished success and new achievements for everyone present.

A review of the new federal data privacy and security bill reveals a troubling double-standard: private-sector companies would face criminal prosecution for willful concealment of a security breach while public agencies engaging in the same conduct would be off-limits for identical punishment.
The Leahy-Specter Personal Data Privacy and Security Act of 2007 has ignited behind-the-scenes outrage in the private sector that public agencies – responsible for multiple and in some cases, repeated security breaches – would not be held to the same standard of reporting. Privacy watchdogs, meanwhile, believe the bill likely will be significantly diluted as it makes its way toward an uncertain vote. Whatever the outcome, the initial inequity – as obvious as it is – has led to private griping rather than head-on public attacks. Attempts to discuss the issue with the bill’s sponsors, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Sen. Arlen Specter (R- Pa.), were futile as staff for both senators failed to respond to requests for comment about the bill’s inexplicable absence of accountability for government agencies.
“Should the government be required to protect information just like private entities do? Absolutely,” remarked Marty Abrams, Executive Director of the Center for Information Policy Leadership at Hunton & Williams LLP.
Irrespective of the scope of the TJX (T.J. Maxx/Marshall’s) breach – the company announced in late March that information from 45.7 million credit and debit cards had been siphoned from its systems – a substantial percentage of the larger-scale thefts have taken place under the semi-watchful eye of the government and its partners. In May 2006, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced that it had potentially exposed personal data (names, Social Security numbers (SSNs), birth dates) of veterans and their families when an employee took home a drive containing sensitive personal data on as many as 26.5 million people.
Like the privacy and security problems with private-sector vendors, the public sector also has experienced the fallout of a vendor’s error. For example, at the end of 2006, a company working for the Wisconsin State Department of Revenue printed SSNs on the outside of tax booklets sent to state residents. The company, Ripon Community Printers, tried to get the state to quash the news, arguing that nobody would have identified the digits as SSNs, as they weren’t separated by dashes, and that publicizing the incident would alert would-be identity thieves to the breach.
Under the Leahy/Specter bill, the government and its partners continue to get off with an apology and some credit monitoring for such breaches and notification failures or delays. While such “penalties” have the potential to be costly, they hardly compare to the proposed criminal sanctions for private entities. And there’s no explanation for the discrepancy between the treatment of private and public entities.
“It’s a very valid question. This bill sound-bites very well, but you can poke holes in it when you take a closer look at it,” said Dave Morgan, Founder and Chairman of behavioral targeting ad network TACODA.
Nobody expects this issue to be addressed anytime soon. In fact, most believe it’s a toss-up whether the bill will survive the poking and prodding of various Congressional committees.
“One hundred million people have had their data breached or exposed over the past couple of years. If that’s not enough to get action, what is?” asked Alan Chapell, President of privacy/security consultancy Chapell & Associates.
Shannon Kellogg, Director of Information Security Policy in the office of government relations at security firm RSA Security, bases his uncertainty about the legislation’s ultimate fate on the ever-brisk pace of technological innovation as well as the proven ability of hackers to stay ahead of the good guys.
“It’s great to put something down on paper, but threats, particularly in cyberspace, continually evolve,” he explained. “Today you might want to tell everybody, whether it’s private [companies] or the government, to do X, Y and Z. Tomorrow those actions might not address the problems at hand.”
One thing is clear, however. Before consumers will trust their governments or the private sector with their personal information, there has to be a policy to promote accountability for protecting the data. Unfortunately, punishing the private sector alone is only half a policy.

young men and women can do these days. There is certainly no limit for this this generation,” Mr Entsch said.
“The things young Australians are achieving on a daily basis in this space is staggering.
“I cast my mind back to when I was at school, not even in my wildest dreams did I believe what our youngsters are achieving today was even remotely possible.”
Mr Entsch said STEM was critical to Australia’s future because some of the fastest growing job occupations require STEM rich skills.
“I have absolutely no doubt that STEM will become the building block of learning, driving innovation and creating new opportunities across all aspects of our society and economy,” he said.
“STEM is, and will continue to be, a powerful economic driver.
“A recent report from PricewaterhouseCoopers has estimated a change in just one per cent of Australia’s workforce into STEM-related roles could add some $57 billion to our GDP over the next two decades.”
Mr Entsch said the federal government had committed $64 million to fund a series of early learning and school-based initiatives to directly support STEM teaching in classrooms.
“STEM is all around us and relevant in everything that we do,” he said.
“Hopefully our young Australians will be curious and adventurous to discover how these critical skills will enrich and impact their lives into the future.”<|endoftext|>Annual Report for the year of our Lord 2017 Report from Minutes of Parochial Church Council The PCC held 12 meetings, apart from 2 meetings, there was a full attendance. The PCC members also attended meetings of Finance Sub Committee: Fabric Sub Committee: Fund Raising and Social Sub Committee: Mission and Out Reach Sub Committee: During the year the main discussions have been centred around the proposed extension to the north side of St. Hilary's Church; the major repairs to the severe damp problem on the wall of the Bell Tower; plus health and safety recommendations for work to graveyard; garden of remembrance; grass and hedgerow areas; carpeting of corridor in Parish Centre plus external repairs and painting of both the Hall and Church. Also health and safety work has taken place at St. Martin's Church, ongoing discussions on Car Parking at St. Hilary's Church. Discussions also took place on the replacement Vicarage. Two options were not acceptable but the new build at Hendrefoilan was considered appropriate for our Vicar and, his wife. Discussions also took place on robing of Eucharist Assistants. A monthly service of worship without a Eucharist, on a trial basis, was approved by the congregation. Discussions took place on the poor state of repair to the Parsonage - resulting in considerable work having to be undertaken before a decision takes place on whether to sell or not. Three presentations were put to the PCC regarding Mission and Looking Forward. The Parish Web Site is ongoing. Finance caused many discussions, particularly the Parish Share. A Ministry Area Mother and Toddler Group has started up on Friday afternoons - the PCC hopes that this will be successful. January saw the Inauguration of Clyne Trinity Ministry Area - service held at St. Paul's Sketty. St. Martin's held a Carol Service in December - the Church was enhanced by lit candles - a full church for this event, which is hoped will be held annually. Also it is hoped that the Parish New Year Luncheon will be an annual event. All the Fund Raising Events were financially successful. The PCC expresses its gratitude to Murray Davies, Roy Chapman, Steve Gardner; Alan Clewett, Eddie Rowe and his daughter for the work they carry out thus ensuring that the Graveyard and surrounding areas are well kept. Appreciation also to Mike Bevan for his generosity and to David Holloway for the work he has carried out that has improved the external look of both the Parish Centre and St. Hilary's Church.

The Diocese of Swansea & Brecon Abridged Minutes of a meeting of the Diocesan Conference held on 14 th October 2017 at Brecon Cathedral Annual Report for the year of our Lord 2017 1. Archbishop John welcomed those present, especially those who had come to give presentations, those organisations who had brought displays, and new members. The Cathedral and Diocesan Office staff were thanked for preparing for the Conference. A period of stillness and prayer followed. i. Board for Social Responsibility: It was noted that Communities First funding for Faith in Families is to cease, leading to a significant risk of staff redundancies and the closure of some of the Family Centres. The Conference was asked to express its concerns about this. The following motion was proposed by ++John and seconded by the Archdeacon of Brecon: This Conference (i) affirms its full support for the Faith in Families initiative, (ii) regrets the reduction in support from external partners which places that initiative in jeopardy, and (iii) urges those partners and others to work with us to explore possible alternatives to secure the initiative’s future”. Dr Gill Todd commended the trustees and staff of Faith in Families for the professional job they do and expressed the concern of the Audit Committee over the implications of the funding withdrawal. Canon Padraig Gallagher clarified that although redundancy notices had been issued this would most likely lead to a slimmed-down workforce rather than centre closures. The motion was carried nem. con. There was no further formal business. 2. Archbishop’s Address: ++John addressed the Conference on the continuing need to face change both within the church and in the world. The example of the early church, in sharing gifts and working together was commended. A renewed emphasis on evangelism was beginning to emerge. He repeated the permission he had previously given for experimentation with new ideas and methods of working. Buildings continue to be a pressing concern. 34% of total parish income was spent on buildings in 2016, compared with 4% on outreach. 3. Presentations: i. Liz Parry gave a presentation on the Brecon St Mary’s Community Review, which led to a reordering, the creation of a community café, and the transformation of the building from a fortress into a place of hospitality and welcome. ii. iii. Sharon Lee, Director of Housing Justice Cymru, gave a presentation on the work of HJC. Particular attention was given to the campaigning and lobby role the organisation has at national level, and the ways in which local churches can work for good in the area of homelessness. Wendy Coombey, Community Partnership & Funding Officer for the Diocese of Hereford, gave a presentation on her work in supporting the churches of her diocese. Particular attention was given to finding new ways of using church buildings, and practical guidance in the development of projects and attracting funding. ++John thanked all three speakers for the quality of their presentations. 4. Closing Remarks: ++John summarised the business of the day and concluded the meeting with prayer.

It was a great disc and was greeted enthusiastically. It was so well received in fact, that they have just issued a special, limited-edition vinyl
version of it. This is not a new phenomenon; vinyl is making something of a comeback, especially with classic-rock acts. Although LPs account for a miniscule amount of music sales overall, some of us never completely abandoned it. With Last Train Home, Foghat have produced an outstanding package. Not only is the double-album limited to just 1,000 copies, but it comes in a beautiful gatefold sleeve, and the vinyl itself is a stunning shade of blue.
Blue is a natural choice for the set, as this is a collection of blues songs, which has always been a part of Foghat‘s music. Their first hit was a cover of Willie Dixon’s “I Just Want To Make Love To You” off of their 1972 debut Foghat. What they did with those older songs was to put a seventies rock spin on them, which FM radio ate up. Their heyday (at least for some of us) was their 1975 Fool For The City album, which contained the classic “Slow Ride.”
There were more hits to come, but things changed over the years. Like so many groups of the era, Foghat’s audience slowly fell off. It’s a sad story, but the group continued to record and play live regardless. By 2010, two members of the “classic” Foghat lineup had passed on – “Lonesome” Dave Peverett in 2000, and Rod Price in 2005. The 2010 CD release of Last Train Home was dedicated to the memories of them.
The group that recorded Last Train Home consisted of Roger Earl (drums), Charlie Huhn (vocals, lead guitar), Bryan Bassett (lead and slide guitar), Jeff Howell (bass), Colin Earl (keyboards), Lefty Lefkowitz (harmonica), and special guest Eddie “Bluesman” Kirkland – who played guitar and sang on “Good Good Day,” and “In My Dreams,” (both of which he wrote as well). Sadly, between the time of the CD release, and this LP – Eddie was killed in an auto accident, and he too receives a special memorial dedication on the back cover.
Last Train Home is a tribute to the blues masters who inspired Foghat in the first place. It is a project that Roger Earl and Lonesome Dave had |

to move. I feel you start to push back against me, hungry for it, and I push your hips away from me, rocking the table on its legs. I grip the back of your neck in my left hand and slide the belt off your shoulders, wrapping a loop in my hand with a flip of my wrist. I bring it down on your right cheek with an overhand swat before changing direction with the backswing and then I bring it down on your left. The sound is loud in the quiet room and I gaze down at my work with beastial pleasure as I see you slide your hands up and grip the edges of the table.
I bring the belt down lightly on your right shoulder, and then your left, squeezing your neck tightly and then lean over you.
Your hips slam up against the edge of the table again and again.
I ease back just enough not to injure you further, but otherwise leave you welted and gasping.
I take everything you give up to me and return it to you tenfold, my focus on what you want a narrow beam slicing through any other thoughts I might have, my attention fully devoted only to giving you what you crave.
I pull your arms to the small of your back and slip the loop of my belt over your wrists, binding them together and pulling the slack taught, then slide my hands to your hips and piston in and out of your tight, warm, flower.
I ask you if you’re close. I grab your breasts and pull on your nipples as I thrust up into you, taking you. I feel you tighten around me harder than you have yet and feel you push against me. I know you’re close, so I pull you to a standing position. I brush the hair away from the right side of your neck and murmur the word “Cum.” in your ear as I thrust up, and I feel you surrender control of your orgasm to me in one long tremulous moan. I hold you close to me, against my body as I growl my approval in your ear softly, gently as your orgasm slowly plays itself out. Eventually your spasms slow down, and you start to shake slightly. I loosen the belt and let you free, carefully pulling myself from you. I then slide my right arm under the bend of your knees as I support your upper body with my left and carry you to the couch.

Maybe we can do a group intro this weekend! All new players get an intro, show the important locations, where to get supplies, help finding a new area to build etc.
Anyways ScarletNemesis can you have a quick peep at the OP, drop me a message and we'll get organized!
Also be warned we've been preparing for the holiday season, so there's some unusual decorating spammed around town! Most of the year it's a lot more classy.
Could you post a pic of what it looks like now?
I'm curious to see how it changes.
Everything seems great so far! The new mobs have been added to the available custom spawns list.
I've done it on a test rig before, has to be done in a certain timeframe though.
But if you've got any cash spare I would go for the cheap GPU instead. Anything that can handle OpenGL 2.1 should be fine, that's pretty old so buying used will be your best bet.
Edit: Make sure it has Win10 drivers before buying!
Have you upgraded to Win10 in those last few months?
There are no drivers for your integrated graphics on Win10, you'll need to rollback to Win7 or buy a cheap GPU.
There's an old bug where you need to restart the game after changing render distance for it to work properly.
Looks like you get great fps at distance 10 (compared to 32) anyways.
And you get 70 with shaders on a laptop? That's pretty decent!
You're trying to run distance 32... why has no one noticed this?!
Still, that's pretty good for a laptop!
Reduce render distance to something more sane.
Thank you, we have been building more too, I really need to make new pictures to show here.
You only need to read the first post here, there isn't much other info on this thread because we all chat about the server in a private message for the players.
Existing players are invited to join me for a spooky adventure.
Eternal darkness, extra mobs, and a new dimension awaits!
You're not on default settings at all, you're running some kind of mod I've never heard of before, but it obviously messes with rendering code. Run a vanilla profile to see if the mod is causing the problem.
You're trying to render 200 entities in a small space on a laptop's integrated intel graphics. Does that laptop have a dedicated GPU? nVidia or AMD?
Graphics drivers are only slightly outdated (according to intel download center) so try updating.
So.... have you done any of those things yet? Checked for new drivers?
Screenshot with F3 details, which OS are you using. Three times now...
Contrary to that one poster...
Either that or you forgot to update all drivers or something after resetting everything back to normal.
So... your advice is to do what I already said.
Good advice. Most intelligent thing you've added to the conversation so far.<|endoftext|>The quickest and easiest way to get your drivers back on the road after the unexpected happens.

This is a 2010 Goldwing @ Roadsmith trike kit installed with 55,000 miles on her.
My question: At what mileage do these front forks start to go bad??? Is this a normal wear and tear @ such a low mile bike?
30,000 - 40,000 on the OEM setup on a two-wheeler on a good day, so yeah, probably is normal fatigue from use.
I would suspect that a trike might load up the forks differently enough (especially with a modified triple tree installed) that wear between a two wheeler and a three wheeler would be an unfair comparison.<|endoftext|>Search over 1 million tracks.

the legacy of the Redmi Show sequence? Let’s to search out out in our lengthy-time size overview of the Redmi Show 9 Professional Max.
As anticipated, Redmi has endured the legacy of a high fee create good on its Show sequence of smartphones. Legitimate admire the Show 8 Professional from a One yr prior to now, the Redmi Show 9 Professional Max seems to be like high fee due to the glass befriend. Exactly, Xiaomi has opted for a similar Gorilla Glass 5 security for each: entrance and befriend of the cellphone. The frames are all made up of plastic nevertheless, from a distance, they will trick you into believing they’re metals due to their glow.
The bent edges of the cellphone impact it happy to take in spite of its dimension. The cellphone is out there in three color decisions – Aurora Dim, Glacier White, and Interstellar Dim. Because it’s miles made up of glass, the rear panel is at chance of fingerprint marks. Fortunately, Redmi entails a defending case interior the field. Speaking about security, as I talked about earlier, the device has Corning Gorilla Glass on the doorway, befriend, and even on high of the digital camera.
As with its non-Max sibling, the Redmi Show 9 Professional Max has P2i water-repellent coating. Whereas we clearly can’t ask Xiaomi to endorse an reliable IP certification on a cellphone of this fee level, the P2i nano-coating couldn’t be extra acceptable. All through my utilization (of higher than 5 months), the cellphone has held up dazzling loyal. Even with a pair of circumstances of falls, bumps, or splashes, it stands unshaken. I’ve been the utilization of the cellphone with the plastic befriend case that comes interior the field, which is able to, to a diploma, be credited to the improved sturdiness.
Likewise, you to discover a fingerprint sensor on the staunch facet of the device. Lengthy-established of a mid-differ Xiaomi cellphone, this sensor itself is sort of a flash and dependable. Moreover, its placement on the facet physique in need to the rear panel moreover supplies to the novel aesthetics of the cellphone. All in all, Redmi Show 9 Professional Max is an especially properly-constructed smartphone with a high fee glass entrance/befriend. The suitable factor that bugged me a exiguous bit is its width as I might’ve most neatly-most commonplace a fairly slimmer device.
Inspiring on to the purpose to, Redmi Show 9 Professional Max components a 6.67-inches IPS panel with FHD+ decision. The conceal has a minimal punch-hole cutout on the tip coronary heart to condominium the entrance-facing digital camera. For an LCD panel, this level to can to search out admirably radiant and has respectable color vibrancy and distinction. Gentle, they lack the great of an AMOLED conceal that you just simply to search out in mid-differ items from diversified OEMs admire Samsung.
Furthermore, Show 9 Professional Max moreover helps HDR10 and Widevine L1 DRM, that method it is seemingly you will possibly enjoy HDR thunder from commonplace video streaming platforms admire YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and extra. Whereas no longer completely making up for the shortage of a punchier AMOLED panel, the machine Xiaomi tries to make amends for the actual fact is very wonderful.
On the various hand, there’s silent no strengthen for a greater refresh fee on a Redmi Show cellphone. The 60Hz refresh is a exiguous bit underwhelming at a time when prospects can to search out the Realme 7 with a 90Hz panel throughout the identical fee differ. That being talked about, the company has launched Redmi Show 9 Professional 5G in China with a 120Hz refresh fee, and if rumors are to be believed Redmi can also rebrand it as Mi 10i or Redmi Show 10 Professional within the world market.
Under the hood, the Redmi Show 9 Professional Max packs in Snapdragon 720G. Based mostly on the 8nm undertaking, the 720G is each mighty and energy-efficient. And all through my time with the device, I didn’t face any overheating components both—as anticipated from a Qualcomm silicon. You acquired’t face any wobble or thunder all through identical outdated utilization. Apps load up quickly and the cellphone fares will all through multitasking as correctly, all due to the sizable amount of RAM interior. To up to date, my unit boasts 8GB LPDDR4x RAM with 128GB of UFS 2.1 inside storage.
Let’s deal with gaming on this cellphone. Whereas taking half in PUBG Cell, you crank up the ambiance to as lots as Cosy graphics and Extremely physique fee. Under this, I didn’t watch any physique drops or stutters all through gameplay. Equally, COD Cell works correctly and affords respectable physique charges. I even tried taking half in Genshin Impression at Extreme render decision and 60 FPS. Whereas I didn’t face any topic with the gameplay, I did watch the cellphone getting heat after round 20 minutes of gaming.
Whereas the effectivity facet of issues is dazzling loyal on the Show 9 Professional Max, considerably within the thermal division, one can also argue that Xiaomi can also’ve taken issues a step additional with a fairly extra mighty chipset. Given how the effectivity distinction (barring thermals) between the beloved Helio G90T and Snapdragon 720G is dazzling minimal, I used to be as quickly as fairly let down by the shortage of a important effectivity bounce between the two iterations.
In phrases of software, my unit ran on MIUI |||IP_ADDRESS||| after I first obtained it. I obtained the MIUI 12 replace befriend within the first week of October and the UI has gotten considerably higher with this replace. As all people is aware of, MIUI is a stunning heavy Android pores and pores and skin with the complete native apps and customizations that come embedded. As a finish results of these native apps as quickly as in a whereas play commercials, I extraordinarily advocate you crawl with their picks from the Play Retailer.
Likewise, the MIUI 12 replace added a brand new look after a watch on coronary heart/notification color which seems to be prefer to have been impressed by iPadOS. The Music app has a separate watch portion the put it is seemingly you will possibly comprise terminate YouTube to enjoy background playback as correctly. Regardless of the enhancements it introduced over MIUI 11, it is miles silent no longer optimized correctly. At occasions after I tried to launch the home coronary heart from the Dwelling Show conceal, it would possibly possibly in its put set off the controls to the Dwelling Show conceal.
Having talked about that, it’s a stunning minor topic that may be mounted with a software replace. And we hope the company pushes an OTA replace dazzling quickly. As hostile to for a couple of components, I beloved the precise individual expertise of the MIUI 12 and I’m assured that the device will purchase MIUI 12 in accordance with Android 11 replace dazzling quickly—seeing how the standard Redmi Show 9 Professional has already obtained the talked about replace.
Inspiring on to the cameras, Redmi Show 9 Professional Max flaunts a 64MP quad-camera setup on the befriend. Complementing it is miles an 8MP ultra-wide, a 5MP macro, and a 2MP depth sensor. Likewise, you to discover a 32MP entrance-facing digital camera on this device.
The pictures from the predominant digital camera are radiant, vivid, and fascinating.
Pictures can flip out fairly oversaturated at occasions nevertheless at a survey, that can also unquestionably be what most individuals are making an attempt to get your hands on.
Inspiring on, images from the 8MP ultra-wide digital camera, on the various hand, are missing in phrases of important components and dynamic differ.
At occasions, it shoots dazzling color inaccurate images too.
The portrait digital camera struggles with edge detection and HDR. The latter is even inferior to that of Realme 7.
Nonetheless silent, the pictures must no longer downright disagreeable and watch loyal complete. Prospects can also commerce the F-stops within the digital camera UI or by strategy of the gallery.
The 5MP macro digital camera is a stress-free one to consider. Surprisingly, the valuable components on the macro images are higher than what I anticipated.
Whereas one shall be snappy to push apart this sensor as gimmicky most often, it was as quickly as a gratifying subversion to look out it working decently.
Likewise, the pictures from the 32MP entrance digital camera are correctly uncovered and detailed. On the various hand, the portrait images from the digital camera are delicate and the background seems to be like overexposed.
The gallery affords a great deal of decisions to edit pictures. As an illustration, one can commerce the sky within the pictures. There would possibly possibly be moreover an erase software that has a therapeutic finish on the pictures.
With the Night time mode on, the 64MP sensor captures loyal beneficial components, color, and dynamic differ.
On the alternative hand, the picture dimension turns into higher than that of identical outdated images.

AIM
To evaluate the radiopacity of calcium hydroxide-based root canal sealers (Acroseal, Sealapex and Sealer 26), a glass-ionomer-based sealer (Activ GP Sealer) and a zinc oxide and eugenol-based sealer (Intrafill).
METHODOLOGY
Five disc-shaped specimens (10 x 1 mm) were fabricated from each material, according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 6876/2001 standard. After setting of the materials, radiographs were taken using occlusal films and a graduated aluminum step-wedge varying from 2 to 16 mm in thickness. The dental X-ray unit (GE1000) was set at 50 Kvp, 10 mA, 18 pulses s(-1) and distance of 33.5 cm. The radiographs were digitized and the radiopacity compared with that of the aluminum step-wedge, using WIXWIN-2000 software (Gendex). Data (mm Al) were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey test.
RESULTS
Intrafill was the most radiopaque material (7.67 mm Al) followed by Sealer 26 (6.33 mm Al), Sealapex (6.05 mm Al) and Acroseal (4.03 mm Al). Activ GP was the least radiopaque material (1.95 mm Al, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
The sealers evaluated in this study had different radiopacities. However, except for the glass-ionomer-based sealer, all materials had radiopacity values above the minimum recommended by the ISO standard.<|endoftext|>Control group selection in critical care randomized controlled trials evaluating interventional strategies: An ethical assessment*
BackgroundEthical concern has been raised with critical care randomized controlled trials in which the standard of care reflects a broad range of clinical practices. Commentators have argued that trials without an unrestricted control group, in which standard practices are implemented at the discretion of the attending physician, lack the ability to redefine the standard of care and might expose subjects to excessive harms due to an inability to stop early. ObjectiveTo develop a framework for analyzing control group selection for critical care trials. MethodEthical analysis. ResultsA key ethical variable in trial design is the extent with which the control group adequately reflects standard care practices. Such a control group might incorporate either the “unrestricted” practices of physicians or a protocol that specifies and restricts the parameters of standard practices. Control group selection should be determined with respect to the following ethical objectives of trial design: 1) clinical value, 2) scientific validity, 3) efficiency and feasibility, and 4) protection of human subjects. Because these objectives may conflict, control group selection will involve trade-offs and compromises. Trials using a protocolized rather than an unrestricted standard care control group will likely have enhanced validity. However, if the protocolized control group lacks representativeness to standard care practices, then trials that use such groups will offer less clinical value and could provide less assurance of protecting subjects compared with trials that use unrestricted control groups. For trials evaluating contrasting strategies that do not adequately represent standard practices, use of a third group that is more representative of standard practices will enhance clinical value and increase the ability to stop early if needed to protect subjects. These advantages might come at the expense of efficiency and feasibility. ConclusionWeighing and balancing the competing ethical objectives of trial design should be done for each trial.<|endoftext|>Rural LGBT Health: Introduction to a Dedicated Issue of the Journal of Homosexuality
The social, political, and public health landscape as it relates to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons has dramatically shifted both in the United States and across the globe in the last 20 years. An increasing social acceptance of diverse sexual identities has been represented in popular opinion polls, nationally representative samples, and studies of college students (Hicks & Lee, 2006; Hinrichs & Rosenberg, 2002; Loftus, 2001), though acceptance of transgender people lags behind (Norton & Herek, 2013). Further evidence of a shifting landscape can be seen in the rise in the number of social support and service agencies serving LGBT populations and increased media portrayals of LGBT persons in television shows, movies, and the press. Political hurdles once thought unimaginable have crumbled, resulting in 16 countries legally recognizing same-sex marriages, including 13 states in the United States at the time of this writing (Freedom to Marry, n.d.). Other political milestones have seen policy shifts to allow military service personnel to serve openly as LGBT, employment and accommodation laws to protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and global condemnation of discriminatory practices against LGBT persons as a form of human rights violations.

I saw a pattern sometime back that you could knit two socks at the same time. Does anyone know where that pattern might be located?
BETH!!! Where the heck have ya been girl!! Missed ya! Good to see ya back!
How have you been? I’ve been knitting with this great yarn from Joannes, it’s Sensations and I’m knitting a great blanket for my niece for christmas. I want to try to make a bunch of socks for the nephews and my other nieces too. Plus matching hats of course.
I will be back as a regular. Thanks for saying hi!
I haven’t been knitting socks for all that long but I do two socks at the same time. It is good because sometimes you just don’t have the spirit to knit that second sock and you are left with an orphan!
Google 2 socks on 2 circular needles and you will be led to a website for socknitters. It has an online tutorial on how to do it and once you get the hang of it, you can probably convert any pattern to a circular needle pattern. They have lots of free patterns on their site.
Cat Bordhi’s book Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles is also a good source.
You can also have two sets of double pointed needles and complete a specific amount of rows on one set and then go to the second set and do the same. You will always have exactly matching socks and I think that people actually do that but in my never humble opinion, that seems like a lot of work.
I prefer the 2 circular needles myself. Less fussy and it eliminates a lot of joins where you can have ladders.

<Abstract> Digital signatures have been used in Internet applications to provide data authentication and non-repudiation services. Digital signatures will keep on playing an important role in future Internet applications. There are two most well-known public-key cryptosystems, the RSA scheme and the ElGamal scheme, which can provide both digital signature and data encryption. More recently, the Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC), in which the difficulty of breaking the system is based on the difficulty of computing a discrete logarithm over an elliptic curve, has also been considered to become a standard in the IEEE P1363 project. The ECC shares many similar features with the ElGamal cryptographic system. In this paper, we want to show that, (a) there are variants of elliptic curve digital signatures, and (b) in addition to provide non-repudiation services, there are several interesting accessories associated with discrete-logarithm based digital signatures. These accessories have important features, such as providing subliminal channels, providing multisignatures, and providing batch verification, etc. In better understanding of these features, we can select digital signature schemes with additional features.<|endoftext|>On Setting Response Criteria for Calibrated Subjective Probability Estimates.
Framing the issue of subjective probability calibration in signal-detection-theory terms, this paper first proves a theorem regarding the placement of well-calibrated response criteria and then develops an algorithm guaranteed to find such criteria, should they exist. Application of this algorithm to tasks varying in difficulty and number of response categories shows that perfect calibration is easiest to attain under median difficulty levels (d' approximately 1.4) and is practically or theoretically impossible to attain when the task is either very hard (d' approximately 0.5) or very easy (d' approximately 10). Implications for calibration research, including the hard-easy effect, are discussed.

The thermal interface material (TIM) located above the chip in a package is a key factor in determining the heat dissipation of a chip.

Therefore, a detailed analysis of the stress state of the TIM in the package is essential for the thermal management of the chip.

I am experiencing something similar at my location... I upgraded my account to Unlimited Fibre Extra in April and my download speed initially rose to 69mbps for two whole days... but then dropped to less than 20mbps where it has remained ever since...
Following my plusnet support conversation last Sunday, I received an OpenReach engineer's call on Monday warning me that he was working on my line... I discovered the engineer testing the lines near to the railway line in my village and he report that an error had been detected in the duct under the railway...
I've added to my support ticket that my service is NOT improved and I'm hoping that more will be done to improve my service...
What makes it hard to accept is that I am being frequently contacted to switch ISP by competitor providers who are ready to promise higher speeds because they claim to have better service management...
OK... so an OpenReach engineer called today at 12:30... he discovered that my line is in perfect working order and that the 67Mbps reported by my Plusnet router is accurate... so why am I only getting sub 20Mbps on WiFi or on my PC with ethernet connection????
He suggested the problem is with the Plusnet router!!!!!!
Even Plusnet reports (see above) that my download speed is only 21Mbps!!!
@firstalpha do you have a static IP by any chance ?
@MisterW do you have a static IP by any chance ?
Yes I do... have done for years...
Why would this cause a problem?
This is what the OR engineer recorded with his wireless gadget as soon as he walked through the door...
@firstalpha Why would this cause a problem?
As @RealAleMadrid said, your Current Line speed is wrong. This doesn't normally affect anything EXCEPT if you're on a static IP. Static IP's are routed over the legacy L2TP network and so the Current Line speed set at 21Mb will be restricting your speeds. I suspect what has happened is that it's been set (in error) to the max for an ADSL connection at some time when the upgrade happened.
Problem is that most of the first line CSC support personnel aren't aware that Current line speed WILL have an effect if on a static IP and so they don't consider it, their understanding is that it is no longer used.
Hopefully one of the Help team (who do know about it!) will spot this thread and correct your Current line speed.
I've tried to attract someone's attention to get this sorted...
1 user liked/thanked this post: firstalpha.
@firstalpha The current line speed is capping your connection your modem sync speeds are good, it's really annoying that openreach have come out, when plusnet could fix this in a minute. The profile should track the BT wholesale IP profile but gets stuck typically at 21Mbps which I believe was the maximum ADSL2+ profile speed. The reason is that static IP users are routed in a different way on Plusnet's network through legacy equipment that still uses the current line speed profile to cap the throughput speed. Most customers are on the "new" network which is not affected. If you manage to contact customer services ask to speak to who has some idea of the ramifications of having a static IP, they are messing you about.
OK... so the download speed is now much better... 57-60Mbps...
Thank you to whoever progressed my download speed concerns...
@firstalpha that's great news, I'm not sure I can take any credit, looks like someone had already spotted it.
Sorry to hear about issues you have had. I can see that @Gandalf was faster than me in updating your IP profile.

Diagnosis of co-infections with multiple pathogens among hospitalized COVID-19 patients can be jointly challenging and very essential for appropriate treatment, shortening hospital stay and preventing antimicrobial resistance. This study proposes to investigate the burden of bacterial and fungal co-infections outcomes on COVID-19 patients. It is a single centre cross-sectional study of hospitalized COVID-19 patients at Beit-Jala hospital in Palestine. The study included 321 hospitalized patients admitted to the ICU between June 2020 and March 2021 aged [≥]20 years, with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 via RT-PCR conducted on a nasopharyngeal swab. The patient's information was gathered using graded data forms from electronic medical reports. The diagnosis of bacterial and fungal infection was proved through the patient`s clinical presentation and positive blood or sputum culture results. All cases had received empirical antimicrobial therapy before the ICU admission, and different regimens during the ICU stay. The rate of bacterial co-infection was 51.1%, mainly from gram-negative isolates (Enterobacter species and K.pneumoniae). The rate of fungal co-infection caused by A.fumigatus was 48.9%, and the mortality rate was 8.1%. However, it is unclear if it had been attributed to SARS-CoV-2 or coincidental.<|endoftext|>Estimating quantities conserved by virtue of scale invariance in timeseries
In contrast to the symmetries of translation in space, rotation in space, and translation in time, the known laws of physics are not universally invariant under transformation of scale. However, the action can be invariant under change of scale in the special case of a scale free dynamical system that can be described in terms of a Lagrangian, that itself scales inversely with time. Crucially, this means symmetries under change of scale can exist in dynamical systems under certain constraints. Our contribution lies in the derivation of a generalised scale invariant Lagrangian - in the form of a power series expansion - that satisfies these constraints. This generalised Lagrangian furnishes a normal form for dynamic causal models (i.e., state space models based upon differential equations) that can be used to distinguish scale invariance (scale symmetry) from scale freeness in empirical data. We establish face validity with an analysis of simulated data and then show how scale invariance can be identified - and how the associated conserved quantities can be estimated - in neuronal timeseries.<|endoftext|>Efficient channel assignment method for multimedia traffic in wireless mesh networks
In wireless mesh networks, the availability of spectrum should be utilized efficiently because the exchanging of traffic rate of multimedia applications is increasing day to day. The traffic of multimedia content may degrade the network performance in terms of high packet loss and throughput degradation because of asynchronous behavior between the sender and the receiver. The proposed Efficient Channel Reservation and Assignment (EchRA) results in successful originating and handing off of multimedia call transmissions using the four dimensional Markov chain process. The EChRA algorithm, proposed in this paper, achieves the maximum throughput performance considering the parameters of blocking probability, dropping probability, and synchronized dwell time between the source and destination. The quality of service is guaranteed by sharing the available slots and by using efficient queuing model to service the incoming and handoff calls, and henceforth, the successful completion of handoff calls rate is increased.

I use an overclocked raspberry pi 4 and I can't get past the 600Mhz range ... The raspberry is always showing low power.
Could someone indicate a good 18650 battery shield for the raspberry pi 4?
I also see it uses a regular usb cable between it and the Pi, what sort of cable are you using, can it handle the current without dropping the voltage?
Are your batteries genuine?
I bought the batteries as being genuine ...
I will test using another usb cable.
In the ad description it says it can support a maximum of 3A.
The keyword there is "maximum". I would typically not run any device at it maximum ratings.
It also goes on to say "not recommended for overload, easy to damage the module, speed up the service life), the output of current depends on the quality of the 18650 battery!"
All in all, given the source and the price I'd be happy if it delivered 1 amp properly.<|endoftext|>A “new” song… what does that mean? If our lives are songs, do we sing the same old song over and over? A new song means a new life, new outlook, new affections, new aspirations. In the Lord, we are being made new. Every day we should be growing, changing, different from the day before. As the Lord makes us ever more like Him, old habits, hurts, patterns of thought and action and sins should be shed away, replaced by more and more of Jesus. Every day our song should be new.

Although significant experience exists in placing airway stents, and knowledge of stent-related complications is widespread, information is lacking regarding methods of surveillance and maintaining patency of these stents. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the actual practice patterns used by interventional pulmonologists for airway stent maintenance. We prospectively surveyed members of the American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology or attendees at their annual meeting during Chest 2008. Sixty-two respondents returned the completed surveys and were included in the analysis. Practice settings included university (50%), single specialty (27%), community academic (11%), and multispecialty (11%) settings. Annual placement of stents was ≤10 (31%); 11 to 30 (45%); and >30 (24%). Considerable variability existed in both medications used for maintenance and surveillance schedules, and less than 50% protocolized postplacement management. Although stent placement is common among experienced interventional pulmonologists, half have no protocol for surveillance or maintenance. Similarly, there is no discernable consistency or standard practice pattern to monitor for or prevent stent failure. Further study is required to determine the best practices for postdeployment surveillance and maintenance of airway stents.<|endoftext|>Greg Toal, let go as Don Bosco's head coach in February, will make his return to the school where he became a legendary figure as part of Bergen Catholic's coaching staff.
The game, which kicks off just after 6 p.m., will be nationally televised on ESPN2.
So this is a big deal for many reasons.
It'll be strange to see Toal on the Don Bosco campus wearing Crusader red. And you can be certain Bergen Catholic wants to get this win for him.
Don Bosco is 2-5 under Mike Teel, Toal's replacement. But that record doesn't really tell the whole story. The Ironmen have lost their past two games to St. Joseph and Paramus Catholic. Each defeat came by one point and the loss to Paramus Catholic came in overtime.
These games are always close and there's no reason to expect that'll be any different this year.
The NJIC playoff format got off to a great start in its inaugural year in 2016 and things are just as intriguing this year.
Hasbrouck Heights, the defending champion, and Wallington will play in one semifinal while Rutherford and New Milford will meet in the other.
Both should be battles.
Wallington is led by QB David Backo, RB Elijah Mitchell and WR Zaheir Mitchell.
Hasbrouck Heights' defense has been excellent all season, yielding just 10 points per game.
QB James Klenk, meanwhile, has really done a nice job leading the offense while WR Jasiah Purdie has given him a dynamic threat to throw to on the outside.
Rutherford will try to shut down a strong New Milford offense. The Bulldogs have given up just 30 points and have shutout three teams.
New Milford has a solid QB in Ryan Picinic, while Bart Nativo has powered the Knights' running game.
Defensively, New Milford has allowed 8.7 points per game.
Staying in the NJIC...
This isn't a semifinal, but it's still an intriguing matchup nonetheless.
Pompton Lakes will host Manchester Saturday at 1 p.m. in a battle of two strong defenses.
Manchester is coming off a 28-0 loss to Rutherford. The defeat cost the Falcons the division title and a spot in the semifinals. That was also the first time all season that Manchester gave up more than seven points in a game.
The Falcons had posted three shutouts and had allowed a total of 20 points going into that game.
Manchester will have its hands full against Pompton Lakes, though.
Especially when it comes to stopping Frank Negrini.
The running back has been outstanding all season. He |
oda has new ways of killing all life on a planet other then shooting it? Could be blocking out the sun or destroying the planets local sun or using biological weapons like how COVID-19 has been. There is denying a species of food and water and air as well. I think there are many creative ways to end all life on a planet that this Dark Yoda can pursue and why not have him use different tactics to kill life on a planet instead of being predictable and using the same plan every time. This Dark Yoda can be the opposite of the Yoda we know and only wants to kill and cause suffering. This Dark Yoda can wield the Dark Saber as well and eat his enemies.
That sounds like an absolute delightful time at the theaters.

This is the Babu Frik section (TROS VD). 'Droid' comes from 'android', which is a human-looking robot, and 'robot' comes from 'slave', and a slave is a robot-looking human.

So, like, how about all those new Star Wars movies?
I'd love to see what they could do with a remake of the whole PT, given the Volume tech.

Irvin RosenfeldWe Talked to the Guy Who Is the Biggest Pothead in the World, According to the Federal Government. Irvin Rosenfeld has smoked over 200 pounds of government-gifted weed, and he says it doesn’t get him high. Irvin Rosenfeld says he has smoked more weed than anyone else in the world.
The only way to measure it is to take the amount of times per week you misplace your car keys, and add that to the amount of times per week you look as furiously as possible for your lighter without ever actually standing up. If that number is over 25, it’s safe to say you’re a stoner. This.
For a lot of people, smoking weed is a lifestyle choice that can make or break a person’s desire to date you. Stoners usually tend to date fellow stoners because of the fact that smoking weed together can be a bonding thing. On the other hand, non-smokers typically don’t date potheads.
Goofy fits the traditional stoner image, similar to Shaggy from Scooby Doo. In many cartoons and films with Goofy, he appears somewhat dazed and confused. … Another popular stoner cartoon character is Winnie the Pooh.

Not to mention beautiful mountain ranges, impressive waterfalls, vibrant African cities, and rivers lined with elephants drinking, hippos wallowing and crocodiles basking in the sun.
Whilst many people will visit Uganda purely for the humbling experience of spending a precious hour in the company of a gorilla family as they go about their normal day's activities of playing, grooming and feeding in their natural rainforest habitat, there is plenty to see, do and enjoy to turn an otherwise short fly-in trip into a longer holiday.
If you are a birder in particular, you can come with your binoculars to see any number of the 1,060 bird species that can be found here.
Uganda is still relatively quiet in terms of visitor numbers, despite all the attractions and highlights to be found here, so you will feel as if you have discovered a piece of Africa and you have it relatively to yourself.
With daily flights also linking Uganda to both Kenya and Tanzania, it is also easy to top or tail your holiday to Uganda with a safari in either of these iconic destinations, or head to the Kenyan coast or the exotic island of Zanzibar before you fly home for some R&R at the end of an otherwise truly memorable |

Nebula filters block out most of the visible spectrum while transmitting the handful of finely tuned colors that emanate from the most luminous constituents of cosmic gas clouds: hydrogen atoms and
oxygen ions. Light-pollution filters, by contrast, are designed to block the colors emitted by typical streetlights and security lights while transmitting light from one or more types of astronomical
objects. In practice, some filters play both roles. Here are the types most commonly encountered:
· Broadband filters strike a balance between keeping “bad" light out and letting “good” light in. They are best suited for viewing galaxies and star clusters, whose own light spans the entire visible
spectrum.
· Narrowband filters more aggressively block light pollution, but at the cost of dimming star clusters and galaxies too. These filters transmit spectral bands that include hydrogen and oxygen emissions, making them both light-pollution and nebula filters.
· Oxygen-III filters transmit only one narrow slice of the spectrum, in which oxygen ions emit a greenish light. They particularly enhance views of planetary nebulae and a few supernova remnants.
· Hydrogen-beta filters transmit one blue-green emission line from hydrogen atoms. They are optimal for just a handful of extremely faint targets, such as the California Nebula and IC 434, the ribbon of
hydrogen gas in which the Horsehead Nebula resides.

We live in a world where we have a greater sense of interconnectedness than ever before due to access to social networks, the ever-present media and the larger awareness of the events that are happening in remote areas of the earth where we did not have access previously. Due to this inflow of information, we are able to hear in real time about events like Brexit happening in the United Kingdom, Donald Trump being elected the next president of the United States and Colombia rejecting the peace agreement on a referendum after more than 50 years of war. These situations make us reflect on the state of democracy nowadays. Are the results that we are obtaining in the polls a reflection of something deeper happening in our societies?
I was mostly disconnected from politics until I started to wonder why Colombia has the most resilient civil war in the continent, why the economic bloom is not reflected in a reduction of inequality and why the ruling class still exhibits the same last names from the last century? I became curious and my search for answers suddenly placed me as a speaker at the 2016 World Forum for Democracy (WFD), with the central theme of the relationship between democracy and education and how the later can be a powerful tool to bridge the social divide and foster active citizens that promote the principles of a democratic life.
As a youth advocate on education, I was presenting the idea of DemocrArtization, an approach created by the BogotArt Foundation that deals with the democratization of art and learning through cultural projects as a way to engage children and youth from marginalized communities to be active changemakers in their own environment. The core idea is to be able to change mindsets and show people how they have the power (the etymology of democracy) and can change aspects of the system that they do not like, even if it is at a local level. For example, it could be as simple as noticing a wall that is in bad conditions and replacing it with a mural where all participants co-create it, thus having a higher sense of belonging to their neighborhood, feeling empowered and trusting their skills to positively contribute to their community.
What we were able to see at the forum is that beyond one particular approach, the key is to provide people with ways to counteract the hopelessness that is derived from all the negative news around in comparison with the few highlights of potential solutions to some acute problems. Moreover, it is critical to creating self-confidence to solve the challenges in one’s environment, to be a promoter of an active democracy.
I believe here is where we, the youth, come into play. Although, on a global scale our chances seem limited since 73% of the countries restrict young people from running from office (even when we can vote) and in the media 81% the youth feel unfairly represented, we have the power to change the current outlook of democracy and start to build our future societies, based on the values that we want.
At the WFD, the initiative Kiron led by a young individual won the Democracy Innovation Award for its contribution in providing access to higher education to refugees. This is just one example of the multiple youth-led projects seen at the WFD that are bringing innovative solutions to the global agenda. However, it is not enough for grassroots initiatives to be highlighted.
For transformative change we need to have a model where critical thinking is at the core of our education, remaining curious and learning to ask the right questions; where we perceive and exercise our role as citizens in an active way to have an impact in sustainable change and; where we are able to scale up successful local examples, to the systemic level and decision-making arena. Thus, democracy does not remain as an activity that we learn as spectators but is rather a sport we practice daily to keep growing our strengths and capabilities. I believe that societies where people are acting as politicians on the ground, where they are influencing their immediate environment on regular basis and do not settle for what the status quo offers are precisely the ones who can |
en and, oh my God, Poison was a big one. Even like the smaller guys like Ratt, there’s that whole potpourri of bands.
MM: I understand you produced your new EP, Regina. Have you always produced your own music?
SB: Yeah, yeah, I always have. Every release I’ve done has come from me and myself. But then on a few releases, I’ll bring an idea to my brother, who will play guitar on a track. For Regina, I had my bassist Nathan really bring to life the ideas. Then my guitarist Ian did more of the soundscape, ambient guitar stuff. So, yeah, I do produce all of it, but then there are elements of the release that are brought to life by other people.
MM: How did you learn music production? Are you self-taught?
SB: I’m self-taught. I started actually when I graduated high school. That’s when Garage Band came out on all the laptops. So, I actually started in Garage Band and that was just back in the day when I used my computer keyboard as a musical keyboard. So, yeah, that was maybe 10 years ago, actually. So, it’s been self-learning for over 10 years and, obviously, getting tips and tricks from my friends who also work in sound and stuff.
MM: What program do you use to produce music now?
SB: I like Reason a lot, especially the new update has the features of Ableton that I liked. So, now it’s kind of like one package. I’ve always liked Reason. I think it’s super easy to use and it’s super fun. I was on Ableton for a while and I still enjoy that program, but it’s like a steeper learning curve I think. So, after a while, you kind of get frustrated whereas Reason is user-friendly.
MM: If you were going to have someone else produce anything for you, who would be your dream producer to work with?
SB: Oh, God. That’s a big question. Well, part of me would obviously want to work with Bernard Sumner of New Order. Maybe even like Peter Hook. I know that’s a little controversial to mention both of them. But I think both of them have such an important role in how electronic music progressed. To work with either one of them would be amazing. On a more mainstream tip, I actually appreciate hip-hop producers. That would be interesting and fun. Especially people like A$AP Rocky who produce interesting soundscapes. My all-time favorite, childhood icon is actually Gwen Stefani, so working with her in some way would be cool.
MM: How do you usually approach the songwriting process? Do you start with some beats or the lyrics? How does the magic happen?
SB: I start with the song itself. So, all of the musical elements. I tend to build a drumbeat first and then build out from there. And then once I feel like the song is complete then I start writing lyrics. And I think that each song has its own personality. The way I like to play with my music is if the song sounds more upbeat I like the idea of making a darker lyric to contrast. Vice versa, if a song is kind of sad let’s make it a really boring love song. I like to give each song a chance to evolve on its own. I’ve tried in the past to do lyrics first because some people can do lyrics first and hear the song in their head and then build it out. For me, that method always boxes my ideas in. Like, OK, if I have this lyrical pattern, it has to sound this way. I like the freedom of reversing it and doing the music first.
MM: Your new EP is called Regina. Is there a particular Regina you named it after or is that your middle name or… what’s the story there?
SB: Regina is just no one in particular. It’s meant to be in a pair with the first EP, which is Rex. So, when you put them together you have a king and queen. I find royalty and royal regalia like super inspiring for some reason. I love those old, cool paintings of various kings and queens. There’s such a presence about them. They’re very alluring. So, as far as the EPs go, Rex and Regina are kind of reflections of myself and the two sides that I have. I have the Rex side, the kingside, which is a little more raw and rough around the edges. That one – in comparison to Regina – that EP sounds unfinished like it was thrown together, but it’s an intentional path to take. As far as Regina goes, you have the more calculated yet graceful side of myself and the music on that one is much more developed and dynamic in my opinion. So, Rex and Regina – everybody likes to think of themselves as the king or queen of something, so I wanted to present the idea that maybe we’re both and this is what both sides of me sound like.
MM: Did Regina take a lot longer to make than Rex?
SB: Both EPs are actually one long album and then I just decided to cut it. So, the songs were all done around the same time. Those on Regina maybe took a little bit longer just to do some fine-tuning on some of the musical aspects of it. But, yeah, they were relatively the same amount of time.
MM: I only found a small number of your releases on Spotify, but I found a lot more on Bandcamp. Why aren’t they all on Spotify?
SB: Well, I’m unsigned and I actually have a label that is self-run by me. It’s a situation where I am the label and the artist and everything is self-funded. So, I try to be smart about which ones I put on Spotify because right now it just takes a lot of resources. And I don’t have those huge distribution contacts that I will one day. If I could, I would put more up there. I also think Spotify is my greatest hits kind of space and Bandcamp is more [for] if you’re a really hardcore L.A. Girlfriend fan and you want to listen to my progression and where I started. I use Spotify like the gateway. So, if you’re unfamiliar with me and you want some sort of idea then Spotify represents where I’m at presently whereas Bandcamp is like my yearbook if you will.
MM: The press release states that when making Regina, “What she found was someone who was incredibly strong, yet deeply hurt, but also a spirit that was determined and open at the same time.” What sort of things were you reflecting on when you were writing it?
SB: When these EPs came about I was at a crossroads of where I wanted to go musically. Where I wanted to be. But I found it was an opportunity to look back on where I’ve been and where I am now. And all the things that challenged me but also shaped me into how I think and feel today. And a lot of that was just growing up in the L.A. music scene. How that has its pros but it definitely has its cons as well. Music, especially as an independent artist, is very tough. Especially in L.A., it can get a little competitive. It shouldn’t be like that because there’s a place for all of us, but when you’re faced with that kind of challenge and attitude on a weekly basis it really affects your mental state. So, a lot of it was just reflecting on how I really felt about all of that. And I realized that, you know, this sucks. And with that, I’m big on writing about relationships. I was a person who didn’t have a lot of luck in the dating department. So, it was kind of like all of this rejection, living in a world of unrequited dreams, and how do I come to terms with that, and how do I move forward. You have today only. You can’t go backward. So, what do we do in this moment and how do we become the person we’ve always dreamed about?
MM: On “Possession” you sing, “though I have love for you, it don’t mean that we’re gonna last.” Are you the sort of person who goes into a relationship expecting it not to last?
SB: I used to be that person. That’s been the challenge of my current relationship. My current partner loves me deeply, but from past experiences I’m just always like that’s not [a] forever kind of thing. That kind of thinking is just shaped over years of people leaving. And not just romantically, like friends moving on and not telling you. So, yeah, I’m working on that now. To not think that way in real life, but it does make for a fun writing subject.
MM: How did “Ex” come about? Were you always planning to have an instrumental on the EP or did it start out as an experiment and develop into something you wanted to put out?
SB: “Ex” came about the same way as the other ones. I don’t view it as an instrumental, but I think it’s a cool, one of those sappy moments that I think every album I do should have. But that was more of a fun opportunity.
MM: Has any of your music been released on vinyl yet?
SB: Not yet. I came close to my last album, but, again, |
, 1952); Shushan v. United States, 117 F.2d 110, 116, 133 A.L.R. 1040 (C.A. 5, 1941); Finnegan v. United States, 204 F.2d 105, 110 (C.A. 8, 1953). Somewhat similar publicity attending the indictment and trial of David Beck, one time national president of the Teamsters Union, was relied upon as ground for continuance of his trial. The Supreme Court has now held that error was not committed in a trial court's denial of a continuance on those grounds. David D. Beck v. Washington, 82 S.Ct. 955. A jury chosen from the same panel as was the jury which convicted these defendants had heard some unfavorable comment concerning Decker. No members of the jury in this case, however, were members of such jury and it was not shown that they had heard the unfavorable comment. Nor is it claimed that defendants' counsel were prevented from exercising all desired challenges or that the District Judge failed to properly conduct the voir dire examination of the jury.
(2) Constitutionality of 502(c), Title 29 U.S.C.A. We have difficulty in following the defendants' attack on the constitutionality of the statute involved. Their brief says, 'Section 501(a) and 501(c) are unconstitutional because they are an improper delegation of power to the Federal Courts which is unwarranted under Article III of the United States Constitution. Article III * * * limits the judicial power of the United States to all cases 'arising under this Constitution and the laws of the United States * * *.' Section 501(a) denotes a policy to further regulate labor unions, the propriety of which is unassailable, but the substantive law required to carry out this policy is virtually nonexistent in federal law. There are no laws of the United States or in the Constitution relating to control of fiduciaries. (501(a) says that union officers occupy positions of trust in relation to the union and its members). Hence it seems reasonable to ask, where is jurisdiction acquired so as to entitle a jury in the Federal Court to judge whether or not Section 501(a) has been violated?'
It is late in the day to question the power of Congress to regulate the affairs of labor unions which function as a part of, and have an effect upon, interstate commerce. National Labor Relations Board v. Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp., 301 U.S. 1, 57 S.Ct. 615, 81 L.Ed. 893; American Communications Association v. Douds, 339 U.S. 382, 70 S.Ct. 674, 94 L.Ed. 925. The statute here involved, 501(c), Title 29 U.S.C.A., merely makes it a crime for union officers and employees to embezzle or steal the union's funds. This union is concededly a labor union within the meaning of 402(i, j), Title 29 U.S.C.A. (Landrum-Griffin Act). We find nothing in the Constitution which would forbid Congress from protecting the rights of members of such union against the kind of thievery involved here. Because of the recent enactment of the statute containing the attacked section, few courts have had occasion to consider its constitutionality. Those that have, have sustained its constitutionality. Lawson v. United States, 300 F.2d 252 (C.A. 10, 1962); United States v. Haverlick, 195 F.Supp. 331 (N.D. New York, 1961).
These defendants were not charged under 501(a) which generally describes the duties of trust owed by union officers to their union. The District Judge read that section to the jury in his charge. Defendants claim error on his so doing. We find no impropriety in the reading of this section as a preliminary observation in the District Court's well rounded charge. In any event, no objection to that part of the charge was made and we will not consider it now. Rule 30, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, 18 U.S.C.A. Grant v. United States, 255 F.2d 341 (C.A. 6, 1958) cert. denied 358 U.S. 828, 78 S.Ct. 48, 3 L.Ed.2d 68; Stanley v. United States, 245 F.2d 427, 436 (C.A. 6, 1957).
( 3) Sufficiency of evidence of guilt. Our discussion of the evidence does not cover all that the government produced. We will not lengthen this opinion by a more extended recital of it. We are satisfied that there was evidence from which the jury could find, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Decker, Guinn and Cox were guilty of the offenses for which they were convicted. On testing the sufficiency of the prosecution's evidence to withstand a motion for directed acquittal, the trial court, as well as the appellate tribunal, must view the evidence and the inferences that may justifiably be drawn therefrom, in the light most favorable to the government. United States v. Berkley, 288 F.2d 713, 716 (C.A. 6, 1961); Battjes v. United States, 172 F.2d 1, 5 (C.A. 6, 1949); Riggs v. United States, 280 F.2d 949, 954 (C.A. 5, 1960). So tested, we find the government's evidence sufficient. Defendant Guinn asks to be excused because he was doing his boss' (Decker's) bidding. Loyalty to a superior does not provide a license for crime. The verdict of a jury must be sustained if there is substantial evidence, taking the view most favorable to the government, to support it. Glasser v. United States, 315 U.S. 60, 80, 62 S.Ct. 457, 86 L.Ed. 680; United States v. Manton, 107 F.2d 834, 839 (C.A. 2, 1938); Hodge v. United States, 13 F.2d 596 (C.A. 6, 1926). Applying that standard to the record, we are satisfied that the jury could well find that Guinn and Cox knew what was going on and were willing participants in this mishandling and misappropriation of the union's money.
The judgments are affirmed.<|endoftext|>Welcome to Björkhaga

Isn’t this a bit premature?

It is the most ductile of metals allowing it to be drawn into fine wires so thin a microscope is required to see them. A sponge made of this metal has a remarkable absorptive capacity for oxygen and will absorb 250 times its volume of that gas.
It is a well known property of platinum and its associated family of elements that they transform one chemical substance into another state or substance without substantially changing themselves. This is what a catalyst is - a “transmuter” or agent of change. It is believed that the platinum family was part of the Alchemists’ “Philosopher’s Stone” or that most valuable substance which “changes other substances but itself remains unchanged”. Platinum and its family members are used extensively in dehydrogenation? and aromatization? industrial processes.16 All six noble metals, palladium (Maxted and Ismail, 1964; Tayim and Bailar, 1967), platinum (Cramer et al., 1963; Davis et al., 1963), rhodium?

individual pure forms in thin films at ambient conditions. With this method we prepared high quality crystal polymorphs and resolved crystal structures of 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene (TIPS-pentacene), including a new polymorph discovered via in situ grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and confirmed by molecular mechanic simulations. We further correlated molecular packing with charge transport properties using quantum chemical calculations and charge carrier mobility measurements. In addition, we applied our methodology to a [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]1benzothiophene (BTBT) derivative and successfully stabilized its metastable form.<|endoftext|>Use Newton’s Mechanics to Describe Macroeconomics
There is an analogy between physics and economics. Here, I will use Newton’s mechanics to describe and deduct the principle of macroeconomics. Economics force is defined as F=dMV/dt=dPG/dt. The link between inflation rate, interest rate, growth rate, and money acceleration rate will also be defined. Principles of least action will be applied to the economics principle. Thus, we have new potent tools to analyze economics activities.<|endoftext|>Sorting mechanisms in coarse-grained alluvial sediments: fresh evidence from a basalt plateau gravel, Kenya
An analysis of the Koobi Fora Plateau Gravel, N Kenya, reveals clear-cut but contradictory patterns of sedimentary sorting. Basalt particles form the major constituent and decrease in diameter downstream at a rate of 3 mm km-1, while feldspar is virtually eliminated from the sediment within 30 km. But over the same ground, agate particles increase in size more than 4-fold while the sphericity of quartzite clasts decreases. These apparently conflicting sorting patterns are used to formulate a clearer understanding of the sedimentary processes that operate in widespread gravel deposits. The nature of the basalt particle size-gradient is contrasted with those published for alluvial fans and simple undivided channels to suggest diagnostic features that distinguish braided channel deposits.<|endoftext|>Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma With Normal Intraocular Pressure at the First Visit: Its Prevalence and Ocular Characteristics
Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of normal intraocular pressure (IOP) at first visit among patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and their ocular characteristics. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with PACG in a referral center. According to untreated IOP, we divided PACG eyes into 2 groups: those with normal IOP and those with high IOP (>21 mm Hg) at the first visit. Results: One hundred sixty eyes of 160 Korean PACG patients were included. Sixty percent (97/160) of the patients had normal IOP at their first visit. The PACG patients with initially normal IOP had significantly longer axial length (mean±SD, 22.99±0.76 vs. 22.74±0.61) and deeper “true” anterior chamber depth (ACD) (2.09±0.27 vs. 1.82±0.33) than those with initially high IOP (both P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression revealed that deeper “true” ACD (per 0.1 mm; odds ratio, 1.38) and more hyperopic refractive errors (odds ratio, 1.48) were independent predictors of initially normal IOP in PACG eyes (P<0.05). The prevalence of disc hemorrhage was higher in PACG patients with initially normal IOP than in those with initially high IOP (29.9% vs. 14.3%, P=0.029). Conclusions: Sixty percent of patients with PACG had normal IOP at their first visit. This suggests that without gonioscopy clinicians may misdiagnose PACG as normal tension glaucoma. ACD measurement can aid the diagnosis of PACG because even PACG eyes with initially normal IOP have shallow ACD.<|endoftext|>A numerical study on hydraulic resistance in flow with vegetation patch
ABSTRACT The submerged vegetation patch affects the flow structure significantly. Quantifying this structure, which is crucial for river engineers, depends on estimating the drag coefficient accurately. However, most of the available empirical and semi-empirical relations have some uncertainties. So, the present work attempts to estimate and evaluate the drag coefficient by a theoretically based relation. The Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) and the porous zone model in CFD software have been employed to achieve the objectives. Finally, the results show that the theoretical equation presents a proper agreement with the drag coefficient, which is computed using the boundary layer method. However, the empirical equation cannot show the variation of hydraulic resistance along with the vegetation patch. The flow structure simulated by these models presents a reasonable agreement with the measured data in our experimental flume, showing some small deviation between the model and the experimental data, especially inside the canopy. This deviation might be related to the inability of the porous zone model to simulate the wake and the flow separation within the vegetation and downstream of the patch.<|endoftext|>L1 adaptation as a bolt-on robustifying control law to a baseline dynamic inversion system
L1 adaptive control has emerged as a powerful technique for enabling a posteriori control action given a bounded level of uncertainty and disturbance, while adhering to the appropriate bandwidth of the vehicle actuation system. In this paper, we present our recent approach to leverage the benefits of L1 with a minimally invasive approach to an existing flight control system with an input output feedback linearization method, otherwise known as dynamic inversion. We detail the design steps and the augmented equations for integrating the adaptation via two candidate methodologies, and present simulation results on a multi-input multi-output linear time invariant model of a tailless fighter. Finally, we outline observations and comparisons and conclude with planned research ahead.<|endoftext|>Tracing the Genesis of Contagion in the Oil-Finance Nexus
A new procedure to trace the sources of contagion in the oil-finance nexus is proposed. We do this by consolidating veteran rules derived from the empirical oil literature to filter oil supply, global demand, and oil demand shocks into discrete typical and extreme conditions. We show how these identified conditions can then be used to determine the stable and extreme sub-samples for comparing market relationships in the construction of contagion tests. Our original approach is useful for systemic risk assessment in countries vulnerable to oil market shocks. We illustrate the procedure using the dynamic relationships between the international crude oil market and the financial markets of a small oil-exporter.<|endoftext|>Me at one of the beautiful viewpoints on the Via Degli Dei, that somebody described for me. You see a lot of mountains at the background , in the distance with some snow on top. The yellow flowers smell so nice. And this point you can feel the wind blowing through my hair. It was amazing.<|endoftext|>The term casa particular is very well known in Cuba. The term is derived from Spanish which means private house (single form). In the plural, this term turns into casas particulares. Literally, the term refers to bed and breakfast as time goes by, often associated with ‘lodging’. In contrast to hotels, this type of lodging is more private because it is provided by “individuals or ordinary households”. A tenant may only rent one room in a household where he lives with “the original inhabitants”.
Perceived by a little sign on the entry in the shape of two blue triangles, casa particular is easily found in Havana, the capital of Cuba. Though small, this type of lodging offers what conventional hotels can’t provide, “the hospitality and nuances of Cuban everyday life”. In Havana we recommend Casa Particular Old Havana as the best way to enjoy authentic Havana hospitality.
If you are a traveler who really wants to throw himself into daily life in Cuba, then casa particular is the best choice. You will feel invited by your Cuban friend and we guarantee that the original Havana feel will fit into your memory and will not come out again. To note, not only in Havana, you can also find this form of lodging in other cities. For example, for a fun tropical holiday at an affordable cost, casa particular Trinidad is an option that can’t be missed. Not only Trinidad, Vinales also provides this friendly inn and casa particular Vinales is hard to ignore when you visit this beautiful city.
Compared to when you stay at a regular hotel, the cost that you spend to stay at “this family inn” is cheaper. If you are a backpacker, we hope this article will be very helpful and inspiring.
<|endoftext|>Diagnostic accuracy of the haemoglobin colour scale in neonates and young infants in resource-poor countries.
Due to the insidious nature of infant anaemia, this disorder frequently remains undetected and untreated by health-care workers in resource-poor settings. We assessed the accuracy of a low-cost and simple diagnostic tool, the haemoglobin colour scale (HCS), in estimating haemoglobin (Hb) values in infants between zero and four months of age. In a rural hospital in Zambia, blood samples were analysed for Hb concentration by HCS and HemoCue method. Bland-Altman plots were used to express agreement between the two methods. The mean difference between HCS and HemoCue at birth (n = 94), two months (n = 87) and four months (n = 69) was 0.39, 0.20 and -0.11 g/dL, respectively. Limits of agreement were -2.39 to 1.51, -1.80 to 2.20 and -1.98 to 1.75 g/dL, respectively. Disagreement with HemoCue measurements of more than 2 g/dL was noted in only 4% of all blood samples. We conclude that the HCS provides Hb estimations in infants aged 0-4 months that are sufficiently accurate to improve timely |

Cooling fans...They're everywhere, and they serve the important purpose of keeping things cool, generally electronics. One might rightfully think: "these fans are pretty good at moving air to keep things cool; maybe I can use one of these neat computer fans to keep my widget frosty" followed closely by throwing up one's hands in confusion at the sight of a 3 or even 4-pin connector. OK, power takes two pins but what are these other pins for and how do I use them to convince this fan to keep my things chilly?
The EMC2101 from Microchip/SMSC is fan controller with temperature monitoring and it will take care of all of that for you. With programmable PWM output and tachometer input, with both internal and external temperature sensing, with a 1°C accuracy, it's a perfect friend for any 3 or 4-pin PC fan you may find.
Four pin PC fans have a power and ground pin (those are often red and black) and then two more pins. One of those extra pins, the PWM pin, allows you to set a the speed of the fan. The last TACH pin is for a tachometer output that allows the EMC2101 to monitor the speed of the fan to make sure it's working as expected. Instead of using an PWM output and counter input on your microcontroller, this chip will take care of that all for you, all over every-day I2C.
In addition to allowing you to control a fan, the EMC2101 includes an internal temperature sensor, as well as connections for an external temperature sensing diode. If you use an external temperature sensor, you can even configure a look up table (LUT) that allows you to set different fan speeds depending on the temperature, and the EMC2101 will automatically adjust the speed depending on the temperature.
Delivered to you on our custom Stemma QT form factor PCB, the Adafruit EMC2101 breakout is ready to help you integrate a fan into your project by making it easy to use with a range of devices. A voltage regulator and 5V tolerant pins allow you to use it with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers or single board computers. The included included SparkFun qwiic compatible STEMMA QT connectors for the I2C bus allow you to make easy solderless connections to your controlling device, and the standard headers make breadboard prototyping easy.
Our libraries, wiring diagrams, and example code for Arduino, CircuitPython and Python complete the package. How fan-tastic!

<|endoftext|>In urgent need for a School Psych in Massachusetts to work fully remote. This position is Full Time with the ability to create your own schedule.
<|endoftext|>As Season 5 begins, Christian (Julian McMahon) joins Sean (Dylan Walsh) in Los Angeles, where they soon discover they're pretty small fish in a very big plastic-surgery pond. Soon, the two meet a publicist (Lauren Hutton) who gets them jobs as medical consultants on a night-time soap opera called Hearts'n'Scalpels.
As Season 5 begins, Christian and Sean are very small fish in L.A.'s very big plastic-surgery pond when they land jobs as technical advisers for a TV medical show, "Hearts and Scalpels." Then, Christian meets an actress (Daphne Zuniga) whose career and body are both sagging. Freddy Prune: Oliver Platt. Aidan Stone: Bradley Cooper. Bob Easton: Craig Bierko. Candy Richards: Jennifer Coolidge. Paula Marshall, Lauren Hutton and Tia Carrere have cameos.
As Sean and Christian give breast implants to dueling Marilyn Monroe impersonators (Susan Griffiths, Merilee Brasch), they also spar over a "Hearts 'n' Scalpels" actress (Paula Marshall) in whom Sean has interest. Christian, it seems, just wants to compete with Sean, who has been getting more attention thanks to his role on the show. But Christian finds a way to get attention, too: a nude photo layout. Meanwhile, Julia has news for both of them. Olivia: Portia de Rossi. Fiona: Lauren Hutton.
Sean and Julia learn more about their new family dynamic; Kate (Paula Marshall) reveals a secret compulsion; Matt arrives in Los Angeles with troubling news for Christian and Sean. Olivia Lord: Portia de Rossi. Eden Lord: AnnaLynne McCord.
A series of unfortunate events unfolds for unlucky Dawn Budge (Rosie O'Donnell), who again requires the professional services of Sean and Christian. Meanwhile, the sisterly bond that Annie and Eden (AnnaLynne McCord) are forming unnerves Sean; and a nun (Tamara Craig Thomas) wants breast-reduction surgery. Freddie Prune: Oliver Platt.
A patient inspires Sean to take his relationship with Kate in a new direction; Eden uses extreme methods to persuade Christian to perform surgery on a friend; Kimber reaches out to a former business associate when she and Matt fall on hard times. Ram Peters: John Schneider.
Looking to horn in on Sean's newfound fame, Christian persuades him to tape a reality show about their plastic-surgery careers. Tiffany "New York" Pollard appears as herself.
Sean tries to recapture his youth by having an affair with Eden; Julia questions her relationship with Olivia after a violent and traumatic event; Kimber makes a decision that devastates Matt; and Sean and Christian operate on a retired astrophysicist (George Coe) who claims he had contact with aliens. Ram Peters: John Schneider.
Sean finally discovers that Julia and Christian are sleeping together again; a hospitalized Matt bonds with his rehabilitation counselor (Maggie Siff); Eden and Julia make an uneasy peace; Kimber and Ram (John Schneider) reveal their plans; and McNamara/Troy treats a department-store Santa (Joel McKinnon Miller) who was shot in the face by a boy who was upset about not receiving the Christmas presents he had requested. Christmas Carol: Mary Pat Gleason.
Dawn Budge (Rosie O'Donnell), now a "Hearts 'n' Scalpels" producer, objects when the show is invited to participate in a gay-pride parade. Meanwhile, Christian falls back into old habits; Sean, on the outs with Christian over Julia, hires Gina (Jessalyn Gilsig) as a receptionist to get back at him; and Rachel Ben Natan (Maggie Siff), Matt's disfigured rehabilitation counselor, sees Sean when she experiences pain in her face, but her case proves to be more complicated than that.
Sean hires a talent agent (Sharon Gless); Eden comes on to Aidan; Christian questions Gina's motives for moving to Los Angeles; and the cause of Julia's illness remains a mystery. Meanwhile, an older woman (Selma Stern) wants Sean and Christian to undo the effects of earlier electrolysis procedures on her much-younger husband (Robert Gant). Barbara Shapiro: Marlee Matlin.
Christian deals with the aftermath of Gina's death on several fronts. First of all: What should he tell Wilbur? Meanwhile, Colleen (Sharon Gless) feels threatened when a giant talent agency shows an interest in Sean's acting career.
Eden looks to Sean for help after getting into business with Kimber and Ram; a group of socialites hire Christian for their cosmetic-surgery needs; Sean discovers another side of Colleen (Sharon Gless). Lulu Grandiron: Donna Mills. Annette Wainwright: Joan Van Ark. Catherine Wicke: Shari Belafonte. Bliss Burger: Leslie Grossman.
A TV critic shows Sean the ugly side of Hollywood; Matt experiences a special bond with one of Christian's patients, who says she has a special bond with Christian; Julia clears the air with Christian, and also finds out why she has been ailing.
Tragedy strikes the McNamara/Troy family after Julia is shot by Eden. Meanwhile, Christian has a reunion with Emmy's mom (Lisa Darr); and Sean figures out what happened to that missing CAA agent. Candy Richards: Jennifer Coolidge. Colleen Rose: Sharon Gless.
Sean ends his relationship with Colleen Rose (Sharon Gless) once and for all after the shooting, but the aftereffects linger. And Christian gets disturbing news when he lends Liz moral support during her breast-cancer scare. Meanwhile, Matt decides to take college premed courses.
Christian's illness draws him closer to Liz, and Sean reconnects with his broken family. He also gets some coddling from one of his students (Jaime Ray Newman).
While preparing to operate on Olivia, Sean tries to deal with his feelings for Julia; following their intimate encounter, Liz and Christian analyze their relationship; and Christian meets someone who understands what he's going through when he attends a breast-cancer support group. Candy Richards/Coco: Jennifer Coolidge. Eden: AnnaLynne McCord.
As Matt notices that Sean and his student Raj are starting to start to develop a father-son relationship, he begins to question his decision to become a doctor. Then Raj's father shows up. Meanwhile, Christian and Liz try to make their relationship work; and Sean performs surgery to make an 18-year-old boy look older. The young man has just married his former teacher (Suzanne Cryer), who has spent time |

I've still got snow on my garden since tuesdays night snow .
It's moving northeastwards and then, at some point, it'll stall, begin to pivot and then feed in from the east.
Snowing steadily here, struggling to settle but there is a little on the cars.
My garden before it starts snowing, thats how cold its been the last few days .
It's not snowing in my garden at all, but looking out my front windows I can see the hills on the other side of Caerphilly disappearing fast. It's coming at me like The Fog ?
I've got work in Caerphilly tomorrow so keep us posted! ?
Starting to take a hold now and settling ?
It's reached me now. Very fine at the moment.
Snowing nicely here but its made everything wet unfortunately rather than white, its starting to stick to some areas of grass and parts of driveways but very slushy stuff, going to take a while to turn the wet ground white! Temp 2.3c and dropping.

My question is which intercooler have you guys seen that has the best flow rate and is best suited for our cars? Car is stock at the moment but after this stage 2 and 3 are coming since I already have an open intake and catback (soon to be turbo back with racecat) I'm thinking Evo 8 intercooler since I've seen it's a good fit. Universal 27.5x7x2 or universal 31x12x3 both universal are bar and plate. I'm leaning more towards the 31 inch but I'm not sure if it's a little too big to where I would see some lag. Any help or if you guys have some reviews of your fmic setups would be greatly appreciated thank you.
Get the evo 8 intercooler.
Do88 is designed to fit without modifications. Yes it sits behind the AC core, but the gains are well documented.
Ended up going with Evo 8 intercooler due to the fact that |

The Bar does not want any money returned, but has asked Attorney General Martha Coakley to intervene going forward.
“Nobody got any money here that they did not deserve,” said Paul White, chairman of the Bar’s civil litigation section and a pro bono program for Marathon victims. “The question here is whether some people did not get money that they did deserve.”
Feinberg, who no longer runs the fund, said the criticism is well-intentioned, but said such considerations would have stalled aid to victims in need and added expense to the process.
“I think that speed, consistency and cost trump the theoretical concerns advanced by the Mass. Bar, which in principle I can’t argue with,” Feinberg said.
Runners, meanwhile, have begun looking to next year’s Boston Marathon. Wheeler, who has run at least two marathons since Boston, said he has seen other races more packed than ever. He plans to run Boston next year, too.
Page 3 of 3 - He recalled grabbing a cup of water for a runner who struggled up Heartbreak Hill before the bombing in April. Later, she caught up to him as he tried to stretch out a locked knee and encouraged him to finish the race.
“That’s the community of runners that I think will grow with what happened,” Wheeler said. “I’ve already seen it grow.”<|endoftext|>I understand. I have done that!! Have you? Without the right lighting it's only a tragedy waiting to happen. Lighting in the night becomes crucial once you're camping. So spend some opportunity to test out all of the flashlights and lanterns which can be found on the market to allow you to select from. A lot depends on which sort of a camper you're.
If you're somebody who likes to camp at RV parks (I have done a bit of this ) your requirement for severe lighting has been diminished a bit. The RV park generally provides it via using lawn lights. Based on where you pitch your tent can make a difference regarding the volume you want. If you aren't by that lawn lighting, choosing a flashlight or lantern is essential so as to supply you a very clear path to where you're going.
There continue to be propane lanternsthat are in existence for quite a while. They supply you great light without costing you a great deal of cash. Additionally, there are the battery flashlights and lanterns which may assist you in making your way back into your own tent. Get a few additional flashlights for the remainder of your loved ones, to supply them with all the light they require.
Nowadays you will find the newest LED flashlights and lanterns that supply you incredible lighting. Your campsites are not flat, you will find stones spread across your route back to your own tent, dips from the floor, and fallen branches and trees. Allow me to give you a clue. I've gradually shifted from LED flashlights to LED lanterns due to the larger area that's lit up.
It's also handy as soon as you get into a tent, since it's possible to place them down to the floor and it lights up the entire tent. Additionally, there are tent lights which attach to the surface of your tent, which also provides you ample illumination. A number of the light may also be flipped down to supply you a night lighting. Here is another suggestion. This provides you the ability to share this light with somebody else and have a mild to direct you back to the tent.
There's a wide array to select from, so choose the one which will work for your camping requirements. There's not any reason to not supply yourself with the light required to make your camping experience secure. Happy Camping everybody.
To assist you buy the ideal lighting for you, take a look at our site at [] We've got a massive assortment of flashlights and lanterns that you chose from and at costs that will not hurt your pocket book. There are lanterns which can be broken down to a couple of individual lights. We at Elite Sportsman Supplies provide cyclists a big choice of goods.<|endoftext|>Several days ago, BusinessFrance:

or two baking pans by lining them with parchment paper.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, scoop out the dough by the tablespoon and roll each spoonful in your hands to create a ball.
Dip the balls in the granulated sugar, and then in the powdered sugar.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart (about 12 cookies on a large baking sheet).
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 9-10 minutes.
Remove the pans from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for at least 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make these cookies ahead of time, make the dough up to 2 days ahead and store in the fridge (in an airtight container). Before scooping, rolling and baking, simply let the dough sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.

I'm not sure if I understand. Can you give me the exact error message?
"No route possible" is usually shown when a map is missing between current location and destination. If the map is the Netherlands, make sure you also install the maps for ferry connections. Otherwise, for example in Zeeland, you might be missing a bridge.

Bertoulin published in Volume 113, No. 6, (June, 1987) of this journal. Discusser, Decourt, relates his use of a simple method for the determination of the bearing capacity of piles based on N values of the SPT, and makes comparisons with the data presented in the paper. Discusser Mayne describes experience with site exploration and pile driving which support the conclusions of the paper. Discusser Neely questions the values of average unit shaft resistance and unit point resistance deduced from the load transfer diagrams. Discusser Phatak expresses the opinion that in view of the large variation in K values in static formulas, the procedure of fixing the unit point resistance factor as 4 for back-calculation purposes in not sound. These discussions are followed by a closure by the authors.<|endoftext|>Links generated by LinkUtil.createLink(node) should end up with the same link pattern always. It would not matter if the link is to a root page or a child one. Links should respect the pattern defined at /server@defaultExtension.
For example, in Demopublic. You can see that generated link to root page in the header (magnolia logo) is generated to href='/' and the rest of the links are generated to '/*.html'. This happens when the generated link points to a site definition root node.
Changed link render manager from MultiSiteLinkTransformerManager to LinkTransformerManager and works in the same way.<|endoftext|>Hollywood icon, Harrison Ford, flew the Millennium Falcon (Star Wars) AND a car (Blade Runner) on the big screen.

This artificial intelligence in agriculture applications is done in a relationship with an alternate sort of sensors, radars, GPS frameworks, other cutting-edge contraptions dependent on AI. Seeing these broad applications, artificial intelligence in agriculture is getting a colossal reaction from investors all around. The increasing utilization and rising necessity of better yield of products are evaluated to be one of the essential points that are fueling the demand for artificial intelligence in agriculture.<|endoftext|>So, my poor bike got knocked over by a car in a parking lot the other day and considering an Arai Corsair got crushed under the bike, that makes it worthy of an insurance claim considering the rest of the parts that got scratched, cracked or otherwise mangled. Glad I had Motosliders or I would have ended up with a dented fuel tank and probably a damaged radiator. The sliders really kept the damage down to cosmetic stuff except for a busted shifter and bent clutch lever.
I want to use this insurance claim as an opportunity to get a few more aftermarket parts instead of OEM (IE: Fender Eliminator, nice bar end mirrors, LED turn signals, etc). I figure if I take the parts/labor money from the insurance company, buy the parts and do the work myself I'll come out ahead when all the dust settles. Plus, I like tinkering with my bike anyway.
However, my insurance company wants me to take my bike to a repair shop of my choosing and get an estimate before their adjustor will look at the bike. If I take it to a shop, am I committed to them at that point or can I use them for the estimate and then take the insurance money? I'd even pay the shop for their hour to do the estimate, but I really want to use the money differently than OEM replacement parts.
Insurer is State Farm if that makes any difference...
Anyone have any experience with a similar scenario?
Insco should just cut you a check for what it would cost to return your bike to the way it was. You could spend it on groceries after that.
If you get an estimate from a shop you are in no way obligated to use them for the repair. They appreciate if you do use them, but you don't have to. When someone ran into my car, I went to a few body shops that gave out free estimates and turned those estimates into my insurance company. My insurance company then just mailed me a check to cover the cheapest estimate. Some insurance |
. The network is divided into multiple virtual local area networks (VLANs). Network traffic destined for a destination network device and specifying an address for the destination or including information from which the address can be derived is received from the source. A set of VLANs that can be used to transport the packet from the source to the destination is determined. Each VLAN in the set of VLANs is associated with a different path through the network from the source to the destination. A particular VLAN from the set of VLANs networks is selected, thereby effectively selecting a particular path from multiple selectable paths between the source and the destination.
Abstract: Example embodiments may include a method for configuring an interface that includes determining information for a configuration of an interface of a first device including a plurality of SERDES slices having a plurality of connections to a second device over the interface; and configuring a back channel layer associated with the first device to form a back channel path to carry a message between a transmitter and a receiver of the first device based on the configuration of the plurality of connections to the second device. The transmitter can be in a first SERDES slice of the plurality of SERDES slices and the receiver is in a second SERDES slice of the plurality of SERDES slices.
Abstract: In a method for securely connecting a controller for a machine or plant to a higher-level IT system, an integration layer is provided between the controller and the IT system, a controller image of the controller is generated in the integration layer, and the controller image is accessed from the IT system. The IT system thus always accesses the controller image rather than directly the controller. This prevents malware from gaining access to the controller e.g. via a network.
Abstract: There is disclosed a method, apparatus and computer program for parsing a message using a message model. A message is received comprising one or more message fields. This message is stored as a reference bitstream. The message model is used to compare a message field in one or more subsequently received messages with the equivalent field in the reference bitstream. Finally, responsive to determining that a message field in said one or more subsequently received messages matches a field in the reference bitstream a predetermined number of times, storing parser outputs for the matching field for future reuse.
Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a fabric on a first semiconductor die to communicate with at least one agent on the die according to an on-chip protocol and a packetization layer coupled to the fabric to receive command and data information from the fabric on multiple links and to packetize the information into a packet for transmission from the die to another die via an in-package packetized link. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract: Multiple cameras are operatively connected over a shared link to a video server on a video network. The cameras are operated to capture a plurality of video streams. Each video stream has intra-frames and predictive frames that are sequentially generated timewise apart. A number of the video streams that transmit over the shared link on the network is identified. A number of intra-frames that are generated substantially simultaneously in the identified video streams is also identified. The identified intra-frames in the video streams are offset in time to minimize video artifacts from being present in the video streams being transmitted over the shared link.
Abstract: A network security system comprises a first component that generates an address for identifying a communicating device on a network. A second component receives the address generated by the first component and facilitates transitioning from an existent address to the generated address. Such transitioning is effectuated in order to protect the network against attack while providing seamless communications with respect to the communicating device.
Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including a plurality of communication units connected to one another in a ring shape by a bus, each of the plurality of communication units being connected to one of processing units, each of which executes a predetermined process, and transmitting data processed by the one of the processing units to the bus as a packet, the information processing apparatus transferring data between the processing units and processing the data in a predetermined order. Among the plurality of communication units, in at least one communication unit, a packet including a value indicative of suspension of the process is generated when the connected processing unit has suspended a process, and information showing whether or not the generation unit has generated the packet including the value indicative of suspension of the process is stored.
Abstract: A multi-ring reliable messaging system is formed by interconnecting a plurality of token rings via a pair of gateways that includes an active gateway that is configured to communicate with the token rings and a standby gateway that also is configured to communicate with the token rings. The active gateway receives an original message via a first token ring, generates an associated message for a second token ring based on the original message, and propagates the associated message toward the second token ring. The active gateway supports total order delivery of messages within the token rings and causal-order delivery of messages between the token rings. The standby gateway monitors for original and associated messages received via the token rings in a manner for preventing loss of messages when the active gateway fails.
Abstract: A process cooperation method includes storing in a first storage device a first process result as a result of execution of a first process by a first processor and transmitting the first process result to a second processor, storing in a second storage device a second process result as a result of execution of a second process by the second processor based on the first process result received from the first processor, and transmitting the second process result to a third processor, and moreover transmitting the second process result and an identifier identifying the third processor to the first processor, and storing in the first storage device the second process result and the identifier received from the second processor by the first processor in association with the first process result.
Abstract: A method for providing a status to a plurality of devices in a distributed VoIP system includes circulating a first status data packet between each device in the first group of devices and circulating a second status data packet between each device in the second group of devices. One device in the first group of devices participates in circulating both the first status data packet and the second status data packet, while the other devices in the first group of devices circulate only the first status data packet. One device in the second group of devices participates in circulating both the first status data packet and the second status data packet, while the other devices in the second group of devices circulate only the second status data packet.
Abstract: A system stores at least one item of connection information for each of a plurality of processing systems. The system receives a request from the requesting apparatus and, in response to receiving the request, sets a status related to one item of the connection information stored in the storage unit for connection to one of the processing systems. The system transmits the received request to the one processing system by using the one item of connection information and receives a response denoting a result of the processing from the one processing system. Responsive to receiving the response, the system releases the status related to the one item of connection information, and transmits the response to the requesting apparatus.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises creating, in a computing network, a hierarchal routing topology for reaching a destination, the hierarchal routing topology comprising a single parent supernode providing reachability to the destination, and a plurality of child supernodes, each child supernode comprising one or more exit network devices each providing a corresponding link to the parent supernode; receiving, in one of the child supernodes, a data packet for delivery to the destination; causing the data packet to traverse along any available data link in the one child supernode independent of any routing topology established by network devices in the one child supernode, until the data packet reaches one of the exit network devices; and the one exit network device forwarding the data packet to the parent supernode, via the corresponding link, for delivery to the destination.
Abstract: Signal flows for data-processing applications may be implemented so as to enable each processing node in the flow when it contains a sufficient amount of input data at its input buffer. In various embodiments, such signal flows can be graphically defined in a GUI tool which, thereafter, auto-generates suitable code for implementing the signal flow.
Abstract: A health check mechanism for an overlay network may employ tunneling technology. A health check packet may be sent between endpoints. The health check packet may be recognized in the network and may initiate a health check process on receipt. In some embodiments, the health check packet may include a signature recognized by the network. A destination endpoint, upon receipt of the health check packet, may provide health check statistics to a source endpoint.
Abstract: A unique RVID is used for each spoke node to identify traffic flowing from that spoke node to the hub and from the hub to the spoke. Spoke nodes perform MAC learning on any frame containing their assigned unique RVID and only bridge traffic received on the ring to a client port if the traffic contains their assigned RVID. Thus, MAC learning at the spoke is localized to client routes, or to routes of interest that pass through the hub. The hub node learns C-VID/RVID-ringport bindings for traffic on the ring. When a frame is received on the ring, the hub will use the C-VID and RVID to determine the I-SID and forward the traffic onto the external network. When a frame is received from the external network, the hub node will use the I-SID & C-VID to determine the RVID of the spoke node, and then use the C-VID & RVID to determine, from its forwarding database, which ringport should be used to output the frame.
Abstract: Data center network architectures, systems, and methods that can reduce the cost and complexity of data center networks. Such data center network architectures, systems, and methods employ physical optical ring network and multi-dimensional network topologies and |

So, I moved into my new apartment 2 weeks ago, and finally found the time to cook my first real dinner. The problem is my oven. I love to cook, and it looks like this apartment came with an O'Keefe & Merritt oven, something mustard-colored out of the 70s (not the cool vintage 50s kind.) Two of the burners wouldn't light at all, and the other 2 lit, but when I turned them off and tried to re-light them they wouldn't. And this is my first older oven, so I guess you can't use the oven and the stovetop at the same time? Or at least I couldn't. This aggression will not stand. I guess my question is, after only 2 weeks of occupancy, how do I go about talking to my landlord about getting a new oven? Or talking her into getting a new oven, in these trying financial times. I guess that every tenant before me was fine with it but I could barely make edible pasta and garlic bread and that's not gonna work. Thoughts?
"Hey, landlord, I think the oven doesn't work. Could you get someone to fix it?"
A working oven is kind of part of basic habitability for an apartment. Depending on where you live your landlord may be legally required to replace your oven. Better to ask right after move-in then six months in, which would just make your landlord think you broke it.
Assuming it's a gas oven here.
Will the burners light if you use matches or a lighter? I used to use a range like that, where only two of the burners would self-light, but the other two would not. The oven worked just fine. I'm pretty sure they didn't work because the line between the constant flame and the pilot light was clogged, but I just kinda lived with it.
Mine was an O'Keefe (from the 50's). I assume the pilot light isn't out. As long as it's not leaking gas, it's safe.
But, ovens aren't that expensive these days; if your landlord owns multiple buildings, she may have an extra oven around. Your landlord will be interested in ensuring you remain a tenant in the apartment, and also that the apartment is in good shape for future tenants.
So, if it really bothers you, it doesn't hurt to ask in this situation.
And if it's an electric oven, it still doesn't hurt to ask.
4. Depending on that tenancy agreement, whether you've noted the oven/stovetop in any condition report.
You should first of all, call up your landlord or real estate agent and tell them you have a non-functioning stovetop. If they won't fix it or replace it, look up your local tenants' union or association, who can advise you of the next steps.
You should be able to have it fixed. Ask politely but firmly.
Good point, Phoenix. I guess I'm just wondering if it's just me since no one seems to have bothered about it before, but I'll call her tomorrow.
Also, when it cools down, it makes an intermittent loud clicking sound for what feels like hours.
I've lived in many places with older ovens, both gas and electric, and I've always been able to use the oven and stovetop at the same time. Your oven isn't working. Call the landlord and politely describe the problem, then mention you need to be able to cook in your new apartment - with all four burners and the oven - and would appreciate it if she could get it fixed as soon as possible. That's normal landlord stuff. If she doesn't fix it, then you have another situation entirely, probably one worth using another question for.
Where else would you have posted it? Nothing about this was improper at all.
I had a similar issue with a vintage oven/stove at an apartment. The landlord sent over a repair guy who quickly fixed the issue (the lines were clogged), then he demonstrated how to light the pilots properly. There's a good chance if you ask your landlord for a new stove, you will get a really cheap electric one because they are more affordable. See if the gas one can be fixed first. Gas is so much nicer to cook with.
Ugh, sounds like a hazard. Even if the landlord won't do anything, you're better off having the gas company shut it off at the main.
My old unit was leaking gas from the wall connection (!) After it was shut down properly, I threw that sucker to the curb and never looked back. I'd rather use a convection toaster oven and double burner than worry about it.
Keeping stuff up is part of the job and the expense is part of the operating costs of renting housing. How long you've been there isn't an issue, it wasn't right in the first place. Let your landlord know about the problems and don't feel any concern about it.
The clicking on cool down is probably just some sort of metal expansion/contraction issue and likely won't change, if your landlord opts for repair you will likely just have to live with it. I've had ovens that did the same.
Can you lift up the top of the oven and look underneath? The fantastic old oven in my fantastic old apartment had two pilot lights right underneath the cover. One for the left two burners and one for the right two burners. When I first moved in only one side of the stove worked, but it was pretty trivial to knock all the built up gunk off the pilot and relight it. They were also kind of sensitive. If you put the cover down too fast they would go out again. Take a peek, it's not rocket science.
I wouldn't worry about the timing. If something is going to go wrong with an apartment, it is most likely going to show up just after a new tenant moves in. The last person may just have put up with the shoddy range until the moved out. Also, different usage patterns sometimes put something on the verge of breaking over the edge. Having a working range is totally part of the rent you pay. Plus, a malfunctioning gas range can be a major hazard. I wouldn't hesitate to call them.
Nting that the lines are clogged. If you'd lived there awhile and the oven was previously fine, I'd give you all kinds of instructions about cleaning.
Let the landlord get a guy in there to clean and service your stove and oven. Few landlords are stupid enough to fuck around with the possibility of a gas explosion.
speaking as a landlord, i prefer tenants to notify me immediately when there is a problem with appliances, especially something like a gas stove where a poorly functioning appliance might lead to a huge disaster.
it is more than likely the previous tenant couldn't be bothered with telling the landlord, so you inherited the problem. never underestimate the power of people "just putting up with it" so that either they didn't have to talk to the landlord, or they feared that telling the landlord about a problem would result in rent being jacked up or fines levied.
since you are new to this apartment, and this landlord, it will be a perfect opportunity to see what kind of service you get for your rent dollar. remember, your landlord should be working *for you* and providing you a safe place to live with things in relatively working order.
a simple repair might do the trick if your landlord doesn't want to go through the hassle and expense of replacing it. the brand name you mention is well-known, repair should be easy.
if the stove is now beyond repair (thanks to a previous tenant not reporting it) then another option might be to get a reconditioned stove. this is what I do for my tenants, and I have a reputable used appliance dealer who goes over the appliances with a fine tooth comb before selling.
good luck, and please do contact your landlord a.s.a.p. and express that this is a safety issue.

During the spectacular week-long event Canberra’s Commonwealth Park will play host to a stunning night-time display of colour aimed at showing off the park’s famous flower beds with a range of innovative artistic illuminations.
Over 100,000 light bulbs, including 1,500 handmade lanterns have been installed across the park to transform the garden beds into a sea of lights. It’s taken a month to construct the displays.
A major feature of this year’s event is a giant mirrored flower surrounded by 48 searchlights in Narang Pool. Along with the light installations, Nightfest will also feature a host of entertainment events such as comedy acts, circus acts, UV Dance party and a silent disco (sounds good!) Around 35,000 visitors are expected to attend Nightfest this year.<|endoftext|>Economic gain apropos socio-ecological pain: expansion of plantation crops in biocultural jhumscape of North East India

Thyroglobulin appears in the circulation of vertebrates at species-specific concentrations. We have observed that the clearance of thyroglobulin from the circulation occurs in the liver by macrophages. Here we show that the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 were released by incubation of mouse macrophages (J774) with thyroglobulin. Thyroid hormone release was a fast process, with an initial rate of approximately 20 pmol T4/mg per min and approximately 0.6 pmol T3/mg per min, indicating that macrophages preferentially release T4. The bulk of released thyroid hormones appeared after 5 min of incubation of macrophages with thyroglobulin, whereas degradation of the protein was detectable only after several hours. During internalization of thyroglobulin, endocytic vesicles and endosomes were reached at 5 min and lysosomes at 60 min. T4 release started extracellularly by secreted proteases and continued along the endocytic pathway of thyroglobulin, whereas T3 release occurred mainly intracellularly when thyroglobulin had reached the lysosomes. This shows that the release of both hormones occurred at distinct cellular sites. Our in vitro observations suggest that macrophages in situ represent an extrathyroidal source for thyroid hormones from circulating thyroglobulin.<|endoftext|>The angiogenic growth factors HGF and VEGF in serum and plasma from neuroblastoma patients.
AIM
To determine whether concentrations of the angiogenic growth factors hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) correlate with clinical and genetic markers in samples taken at diagnosis in children with neuroblastoma (NB).
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Heparin plasma (P-) and serum (S-) samples of healthy controls (n=73, mean age +/- SD 3.5+/-2.1; females/males: 23/50) and patients with NB (n=62; 2.2+/-1.8; 26/36) were collected between 1988 and 1999. Clinical data included age at diagnosis, gender, stage, outcome, amplification of the oncogene MYCN, loss of heterozygosity at the short arm of chromosome 1 (1p LOH) and ploidy.
RESULTS
HGF and S-VEGF-A were elevated in NB as compared to controls (38/62 patients, p<0.0001 and p<0.05, Mann-Whitney U test). HGF concentrations were higher in high-stage (stage 3-4) as compared to low-stage (stage 1-2) disease (p<0.01). P-HGF was elevated in patients with 1p LOH (p<0.01), MYCN amplification (p<0.001) and di- or tetraploidy (p<0.001). S-HGF concentration was elevated in patients MYCN-amplified tumors only. Plasma and S-HGF concentrations were higher in the deceased group (p<0.05), but not P or S-VEGF-A.
CONCLUSION
This study showed that concentrations of HGF and S-VEGF-A are elevated in patients with NB. Furthermore, HGF and S-VEGF-A concentrations correlate to higher stage disease and HGF correlates to genetic markers known to indicate a poor outcome. These observations imply that HGF and VEGF-A have biological roles in NB and suggest the possibility of interference with HGF or VEGF-A signaling as a therapeutic strategy.<|endoftext|>In Context Healthcare and Public Policy: Verbal Abuse of Female Nurses: An American Medical Form of Gender Apartheid?

The hospitalization of a newborn separates mother and child at a time when their contact is essential for developing the mother's role. Therefore, mothers tend to feel incapable of meeting their child's needs, and face difficulties in dealing with their personal feelings and the demands of their family. The objective of this study was to identify the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis Conflict in performing the role of mother in studies addressing the experience of being a mother in the neonatal unit. This is an integrative literature review, which utilized 15 qualitative studies published between 2004 and 2009, in journals indexed in the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature and on the Medical Literature and Retrieval System Online. This diagnosis is a nursing phenomenon to be studied by neonatal nurses so they are able to recognize and propose interventions to meet the mothers' needs, considering that nine out of ten defining characteristics were identified in the mothers' statements.<|endoftext|>I'm sure many of you have seen my recent posts about Abbey's unwillingness to eat.. she is definitely a picky eater.
Anyways, I haven't given in and she hasn't gotten any mix-ins with her kibble for 7 days tomorrow. On a fluke, we offered her the same food in a different bowl. We have two large, stainless steel metal bowls - one for water and one for food. We generally wash them by hand, since I know that some animals are very finicky with certain dishwashing liquids. Normally she doesn't have problems with these bowls.. she drinks her water out of them fine. But when we put the plain kibble in the metal bowl, she refuses to eat it, but she'll eat at least a little bit of it in a ceramic bowl.
EDIT: Just gave her a little bit in a ceramic bowl and she took the food out little by little and put it onto the carpet then ate it...?? She's a weirdo.. Then i put some in a plastic bowl and she ate it directly out of it.
EDIT AGAIN: This morning she's back to not eating.. not out of plastic, ceramic or stainless steel.. AH!
Stainless for me is easiest to clean, but I have heard of some dogs (2 I know of) having problems with the reflection from stainless. Is your dog a bit skittish elsewhere?
I have plastic and am switching because she is chewing it! Funny, she doesn't chew anything else but her bowl.
haha of course. it always happens like that! :P Abbey had a smaller plastic dish with that nonslip grip stuff on the bottom, but it was wayyy too small, so i bought new ones and they were stainless steel.. now i think i need to go buy new plastic ones!!
Stainless steel is much better for the most part. Many dogs develop allergies and "acne" due to contact allergies to plastics (on their chin/muzzle/nose), and with the tiny scratches that end up in the plastic, it harbors bacteria, even when run through the dishwasher constantly. Either way, my feeling is that dog dishes should be sent through the dishwasher as often as our own dishes to keep them as clean as possible, and to cut down on bacterial levels in the bowls.
i agree that stainless steel is much better, but she will absolutely not even go near the food when it's in the stainless steel bowl, so i think i'm going to have to go another route..
The bowl isn't the problem, you are. You are letting her dictate how to do things, i.e., changing foods, adding stuff, etc. Put her food down for 15-20 minutes. If nothing happens, pick it up and don't feed her until her next meal. In the meantime, no treats, nothing. Next meal, put it down. Pick it up after 15-20 minutes. After a few of days of this, she'll get the message.

ABSTRACT That facial expressions are universal emotion signals has been supported by observers agreeing on the emotion mimed by actors. We show that actors can mime a diverse range of states: emotions, cognitions, physical states, and actions. English, Hindi, and Malayalam speakers (N = 1200) viewed 25 video clips and indicated the state conveyed. Within each language, at least 23 of the 25 clips were recognised above chance and base rate. Facial expressions of emotions are not special in their recognisability, and it is miming that may be the universal human ability.<|endoftext|>The Company and the Shogun: The Dutch Encounter with Tokugawa Japan by Adam Clulow (review)

interested in political economies of hope, the potential of new biotechnologies to cure and treat disease, and the creative and generative potential of new biologically oriented forms of belonging. Others have argued that biological citizenship is better understood as a highly stratified form of citizenship that excludes the non-compliant, non-normative or disabled subjects, racialized and immigrant bodies, as well as the very poor. As claims for rights and recognition are increasingly made in biological terms, this potentially crowds out other forms of citizenship that are articulated around more traditional solidarities such as national identity, labor organizing, and party politics. This article discusses the primary debates and tensions among proponents of this framework and introduces some of the critiques of biological citizenship both as a conceptual tool and social process. The article is organized according to the major fields that the term biological citizenship has been applied to interpreting: addiction and pharmaceuticals; HIV-AIDs; mandating health, genetics and disability; and race and immigration. Though the major works on biological citizenship are classified into one of these groupings, there is quite a bit of crossover (for example, all of the works on HIV-AIDs are also necessarily about pharmaceuticals). Therefore, reading around in other sections may be valuable. The article ends with a discussion of the major critiques of the term.
General Overviews and Foundational Texts
Petryna 2002 first introduced the term biological citizenship in her ethnography of the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster Life Exposed. She defines biological citizenship as “a massive demand for but selective access to a form of social welfare based on medical, scientific, and legal criteria that both acknowledge biological injury and compensate for it” (p. 6). She locates this as a particularly “post-socialist” phenomena in which citizenship claims were being radically transformed in the wake of state building projects in the former Soviet Union. Other major treatments of the term are Rose and Novas 2005 and Rose 2007. In these later works, the authors reflect on global transformations in citizenship and argue that new forms of biological knowledge are increasingly connected to citizenship projects. These reflections are not tethered to a specific site of ethnographic engagement which allows the authors to make larger claims about the newness and pervasiveness of this form of citizenship, but also sacrifices the specificity of Petryna’s treatment of the term. Rose and Novas 2005 define biological citizenship quite broadly as “all those citizenship projects that have linked their conceptions of citizens to beliefs about the biological existence of human beings, as individuals, as families and lineages, as communities, as population and races, and as a species” (p. 440). Around the same time as the biological citizenship literature emerged, other authors were describing very similar processes, but adopted different nomenclature; biosociality (Rabinow 1996), genetic citizenship (Heath, et al. 2007), and biomedicalization (Clarke, et al. 2003) are three important examples. Rabinow’s use of biosociality was widely adopted in the field and has the advantage of referring to social processes and social life more broadly than biological citizenship which is usually employed to talk about the more explicitly political acts of organizing and advocating for access to resources and treatment. In their important reference text on anthropology and biomedicine, Lock and Nguyen 2010 also take this more holistic view; they discuss how biomedical knowledge and practices that work to “make up” selfhood must be contextualized within kinship and social life more broadly. In Heath, et al. 2007 the use of genetic citizenship is particularly notable for its rigorous discussion of the concept of citizenship. While the literature on biological citizenship almost always explores the biological in depth, it often uses “citizenship” metaphorically to refer to identity or political subjectivity more broadly. By 2008, the term “biocitizenship” had gained sufficient notoriety to merit an entry in The Lancet as a historic keyword.

DOI: 10.2307/1519765
Important article in the sociology of medicine. Since 1985, the authors argue, we have entered the era of biomedicalization characterized by political economic reorganization of medicine, a new focus on health understood through risk calculations, a technoscientific turn, new knowledge practices, and the increasing salience of biomedical identities and body work. Describes many of the same processes discussed in Rose and Novas 2005, but in a decidedly less optimistic tone that centers stratification. Uses term “technoscientific identities” and not biological citizenship.
Cooter, Roger. 2008. Biocitizenship. The Lancet.
DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(08)61719-5
Described as a “key work in-the-making,” this brief entry in the Lancet cites Petryna 2002 and Rose and Novas 2005. Biocitizenship understood as a new form of identity, that of a biological consumer. The consumerist and transnational biocitizen challenges a traditional nation-state framework of rights and responsibilities.

Multiple ethnographic examples recount new forms of patient activism, identities, and novel alliances formed among state actors, patients, family members, scientists, and pharmaceutical and biotech companies. The piece argues that knowledge, science, and the public sphere have been increasingly “geneticized” with lay people becoming experts. Contains a useful discussion of how conceptions of citizenship have changed with feminist, queer, and disability rights scholarship and activism.
Lock, Margert, and Vinh-Kim Nguyen. 2010. An anthropology of biomedicine. Malden, MA: Wiley-Blackwell.
In this comprehensive survey of the anthropology of biomedicine, the authors provide an overview of anthropological works on subjectivity in relation to healing and biomedical practices (pp. 283–302). Though the term biological citizenship is not used in this text, the kindred terms of genetic citizenship and biosociality are employed in the chapter on genetic testing and screening (pp. 315–319).
Petryna, Adriana. 2002. Life exposed: Biological citizens after Chernobyl. Princeton, NJ: Princeton Univ. Press.
Is the earliest ethnographic monograph that employs the term biological citizenship. Those exercising biological citizenship made demands on the Ukrainian state for access to medical care and social welfare following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. These demands (which were not always recognized or acted upon by the state) for services, care, and reparation were made in the name of a biological injury.
Rabinow, Paul. 1996. Artificiality and enlightenment: From sociobiology to biosociality. In Essays on the anthropology of reason. Princeton, NJ: Princeton Univ. Press.
Builds on Foucault’s understanding of biopower. More expansive than most uses of biological citizenship; biosociality describes and troubles nature/culture. Argues that new practices of life enculturate nature. These practices include gene modification, the obligation to improve health in response to risk factors, and new forms of sociality organized around genetic and disease status.
Rose, Nikolas. 2007. The politics of life itself: Biomedicine, power, and subjectivity in the twenty-first century. Princeton, NJ: Princeton Univ. Press.
Rose’s 2007 book on biopolitics contains a revised and expanded chapter on biological citizenship. Rose provides a genealogy of the term, relates it to terms such as biosociality and genetic citizenship, and argues that traditional, national understandings of citizenship are inadequate to globalized realities. Rose characterizes biological citizenship as individualizing and collectivizing, reliant on hope, imposed from above, and issuing from within individuals who increasingly understand themselves in biological terms.

The second major source of the term. Rose and Novas argue that new notions of vital damage and vital rights have come to animate citizenship claims. The media, science education, and pharmaceutical marketing “make-up” biological citizens. A fundamentally active form of citizenship, it requires new forms of knowledge and responsibility and is oriented around a political economy of hope.

A main goal of my recent Journal article was to integrate governance and management approaches from my ongoing |
lift in revenue from the first day.
“Things worked well. We’re happy with the technology and the partnership…that led us down the path of ‘If we can do this with Yieldbot, can we do this with another company or another advertiser and increase [revenue] even more?’” Festa said. “Ultimately, in order to do that and keep the user experience we had, we needed to use another bit of technology that Yieldbot had called Pubfood. We utilized more technology to add other advertisers to the page and in doing that we were able to see a 20% lift across our display inventory utilizing multiple header bidding partners.”
LittleThings has been working with Yieldbot for about a year and with Pubfood specifically for about six months, Festa said.
With header bidding, publishers get more intelligence about the context and the value of ad slots and because they are able to monetize that better, they can think about reducing the number of ads on a page because they can better profit off of fewer ad slots, Copeland said.
“From Yieldbot’s point of view, if you understand the intent and motivations of consumers inside the header, you can look at having three slots instead of five, which allows for more competition and you can make more money for those slots and then because of who they allow in to the header, you can pick partners that will give a better user experience,” Copeland said.
Indeed, Festa said LittleThings’ desktop experience has an average of about two ads per page, which it is able to do because of header bidding.
“We generate more from less placements and to put that into context, if you have the old system where you go to Advertiser A first and try to fill the impression…you don’t care about the quality of the impression,” Festa said. “Advertiser B might have a beautiful car ad, but the user in the past never [saw] it even if the publisher would make more and it would be a better experience. Header bidding allows us to generate more per ad placement.”<|endoftext|>DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN.Edit
Bradly Brown and his family used a double barrel shotgun to fight off the
the crites that invaded their farm. Even though it was shown in one scene that there
were two winchester rifles over the chimney mantle where the shotgun was hanging but eventually they ran out of ammunition for the shotgun.

COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.Edit
Sheriff harv used a colt single action army to fight off the crite leader but to no avail and charlie mcfadden
also used a colt single action army in the fourth critters film that was given to him by Albert and charlie used the handgun to not just fight off the last remaing crites but to also shoot counselor tetra in the head Ethan also used the revolver when he was destracting tetra's storm troopers when Albert gave charlie the handgun it first appeared that there were only six rounds for it until later on in the film when Ethan used it he was seen loading an extra round into the guns cylinder. But of course the only reason albert gave charlie the handgun was because with the crites closing in the revolver was their only defense left and albert thought that since charlie was from earth he new how to shoot one of those handguns.Charlie even mentioned that he's "a .38 special man himself" so when charlie and the others were on the ship charlie was ready for whatever was coming which is why he had the hammer on the pistol pulled back and had it ready to fire when the crites entered the craft charlie fired 5 out of 6 rounds managing to not only kill one crite but also "murdered the ship" in the process.

RICK'S LASER GUN.EditIn the fourth film Rick the captain of the r.s.s. tesla crew used a futuristic laser rifle to open the drifting speciman collection pod that contained the last two crite eggs and charlie from the third film then later when the pod was opened and charlie and the freshly hatchet crites were free and rick (who was killed by the crites) pointed at his laser gun which charlie then used to hunt the critelings down when at the same time he met ethan but unfortunitly the laser rifle was destroyed when they fell down into the space stations waste disposal.

A significantly redesigned Rogue has a more powerful engine, more standard safety features and a sharp new look.
The 2.5-liter DOHC 4-cylinder sounds similar on paper, but this newer version now features direct fuel injection and is good for 11 more horsepower (181) and 6 pound-feet more torque (175). Fuel mileage is also increased, now 27 city and 35 highway for the front-wheel drive S model. The continuously variable transmission is unchanged.
Rear seat accomodations have improved, with more headroom, legroom and hip room for rear occupants. Maximum cargo volume with the rear seat folded also improves, now 74.1 cubic feet, up up 4.1. The look of the interior is much more premium, with rich-looking materials and even a floating center console with storage underneath the shifter and cupholders. Another nice feature: pull-up sunshades on the rear side windows are available. Platinum models even have separate temperature controls for the rear A/C and heating vents.
Rear parking sonar is now standard. Front parking sonar is now available, standard on Platinum and optional on SL. The Around View Monitor is now standard on all models except S. A new Intelligent Driver Alertness monitor warns the driver if he becomes drowsy or innattentive.
Previous Rogue models with the Nissan Intelligent Key has buttons for entry only on the front doors and liftgate, the new Rogue has them on all five exterior entry points, a standard feature on SV, SL and Platinum.
The previous conventional shift lever has been replaced with an electronic joystick. Older drivers will not like having to remember to press the "P" button on top to select "Park." Platinum models get a fully digital gauge cluster.

The Speak Now album itself was also a transition, where every song was made by Taylor herself and hidden gems that didn’t made it into the mainstream media became fan favorites that only a few people would know. It remains Taylor’s most ambitious tour as well, taking her to countries she had never been before in Asia and Europe. We also get a new member and musical director: the immensely talented David Cook.
This was also the first tour that I covered from start to finish, writing entries for every city and came up with the label of Inside Speak Now whenever I was giving out spoilers for people who had not seen the tour yet. I wrote two personal concert experiences plus a rare treat: Meeting the Agency!
This tour also brought us the Arm Lyrics, surprise song covers usually relevant to the location where she was performing and duets with secret guests.

Dog Might Games has been crafting fine wooden gaming accessories for over 4 years. During that time, the number one requested item from our fans was wooden dice. After years of building our amazing staff of woodworkers and after months of prototyping, we are now ready to produce the best dice available in a wide variety of rare woods and exotic natural materials (see our notes about how these are sustainably harvested below). Backed by a lifetime guarantee, our Artifact Dice are an awesome addition to any gaming table.
Below is a quick reference list of the wood species and other natural materials we are offering for this project. Learn more about each species' characteristics, traditional uses, weight compared to plastic polys, and pricing, further down the page.
If you'd like to know more about how our dice perform compared to plastics, check out our FAQs at the bottom of the project page.
Titan Bear a weekend of gaming for 2 at the Dog Might Headquarters in Ann Arbor, MI. with the Dog Might crew. Includes a one of a kind set of Artifact Dice built to your specs in one of the rarest woods or exotic materials in the world and more Dog Might swag then you can carry! Includes domestic flight in the continental USA, room, board, and a weekend of awesomeness. Dates to be determined.
We build high quality custom tabletop gaming hardware. From Deck Boxes to Dice Towers, each piece is created on site in our woodshop in Michigan by our devoted team of craftsmen. The company was willed into existence over 2000 years ago by a pair of insane axe-wielding Viking Lumberjack Gods. The Viking Lumberjack Gods had already been converting local Ents, and their less animated cousins, 'trees,' into high quality tabletop gaming gear for centuries. With the advent of the worldwide series of informational tubes, the Viking Lumberjack Gods realized that it was time to share their harvest with the rest of humanity. They opened the doors of Dog Might Games so all mortals could enjoy the bounty of Ent corpses converted into utilitarian gaming hardware.
Dice will be built in the order pledges are received so pledge early and hold your place in line. Fulfillment will begin on the project's 'delivery' date of November 2018 - we are currently projecting completion of approximately 50 sets of dice per month, starting in November 2018. This is a very conservative estimate that may be increased depending on the growth of the project. Please, follow along in our updates for the latest news and if, at any point in the process, you have any questions, send us a note at [email protected] and we will take care of you. We have fulfilled thousands of orders over the last few years and on time delivery is a top priority for us. We have invested in new machinery specifically for making dice and this project will not be effected by, nor will it effect, our other production or fulfillment. A Pledge Manager will be used after the project is complete, giving you the opportunity to choose the specs of your dice pledge and list any add-ons you would like.
We are devoted to ensuring that every one of our customers is filled with joyous celebration. When you use you Dice.
Will the Dice look exactly like the photo? Our Dice are a product of nature and each set is made from unique materials. We source our materials from suppliers that are well known to us and are confident all sets will be similar to the photos.
Will these Dice Roll "True"?
Our dice are a product of nature - and nature is imperfect. We cannot guarantee that our dice will be perfectly balanced. However, during our testing, they have proven to be very reliable. When using these in normal gaming, whether with board games or RPGs, they are more than chaotic enough to provide a significant amount of randomness. For more information read the article in our Forums: 'Wooden Dice: Are these things balanced?'.
Are These Dice Factory Perfect?
No, they are not. They are precision cut by a CNC machine, and then sanded, inlaid, and finished by hand. Hand sanding is accurate, but is not the same as mould-injected plastics. We minimize errors as much as possible and will not sell dice that fall outside of our strict guidelines. Remember, if for any reason you are not happy with your dice, they are backed by our 100% Kick Ass Guarantee.
Why Do They Cost More Than Traditional Dice?
Our dice require a lot of individual attention from skilled artisans. This is predominantly slow, precise work with high attention to detail. Each die is given an absurd amount of Viking Lumberjack TLC.
Do These Roll Like My Plastic Polys?
Close, but a little different. We leave sharper edges on our dice that result in a more chaotic roll which provides more randomness when it comes to natural materials.
How Does The Weight Of These Dice Compare to Plastic Polys?
A set of plastic polys generally weigh 1.0 oz +/- 0.1 oz. Our lightest dice are 0.7 oz and our heaviest dice are 1.3 oz. For more information read the article in our Forums: 'Wooden Dice: The weight of wood'.
Are These Dice the Same Size as Regular Polys?
They are slightly larger to show off the wood grain and to provide more heft in hand. The largest diameter is 1". Note that Wooden Dice will work with our entire product line with the exception of the Hero Sleeve and Traveller Dice Tower.
Want to ask a question about our dice?
We propotyped our Wooden Dice with the help of our small group of product testers, the Underdogs. They know a lot about our dice and many of them have a set of their own already. You can find them, and us, chatting up our forums all through the day. Come and join in the discussion. The reviews have been amazing and thoroughly prototyping dice makes us extremely confident in our ability to fulfill at our projected rate, if not better.

June 30, 2014 by Marty Rouse, National Field Director
New Hampshire (NH) State Democratic Party Chair Raymond Buckley and NH Executive Council member Chris Pappas are in our nation's capital today at the invitation of President Obama to attend the White House LGBT Pride Month reception. They dropped by HRC headquarters on the way to the White House to say hello.
Raymond and Chris are two of the Granite State's most influential openly LGBT leaders. Chairman Buckley worked closely with NH legislative leaders as it debated and then passed marriage equality in 2010. His leadership and influence extend far beyond state borders. He is also President of the Association of State Democratic Chairs and Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee.
Ray Buckley has worked hard for decades fighting for fairness and equality. In 1986 he founded the NH Citizens Alliance for Gay and Lesbian Rights. Today, Chairman Buckley is a strong advocate for adding gender identity to the state's non-discrimination law and for electing new LGBT officials.
Chris Pappas was elected as a state Representative in 2002 and in 2012 was elected to the powerful Executive Council. As one of only five members on this influential and unique statewide council that works closely with the Governor, Pappas represents 260,000 constituents. Chris hails from Manchester and is co-owner of the Puritan Restaurant, a NH landmark and family restaurant opened by his great grandfather in 1917.
It is always a pleasure to see old and new friends.

Remove a single resident parking space and replace with two or three secure cycle parking units, approximately 16.0m away from junction with Falkland Road on the western side of the carriageway.
During the previous public consultation for secure cycle parking units, several residents’ responded that they would like to have a choice on the look and feel of the type of cycle parking unit that would be installed on the street. We are now able to offer you a choice of two different types of units, and are asking you to let us know your preference. To help you decide, we have included key information for each type of unit, one made by Cyclehoop and the second by Asgard.
Each unit is 1.36m high with a curved profile roof.
If approved the units will be installed in March/April 2018. The Council would take responsibility for the installation of the units, however they would be managed by the relevant manufacture who will maintain the units, the cost of this covered by the annual membership fee.
<|endoftext|>The MISIM-FET in thin semiconductor layers: Depletion-approximation model of I-V characteristics
Current-voltage equations have been derived for metal-insulator-semiconductor-insulator-metal inversion-type field-effect transistors (MISIM-FET's) in thin layers of single-crystal silicon. These dc equations, based on the depletion approximation and the gradual channel approximation, describe the effects of the "back" MIS gate on the "front" MIS channel in the triode region of strong-inversion operation. When the thickness of the silicon is less than twice the depletion depth, the front and back channels can interact. The de effects are a variation in the channel current and drain saturation voltage of one channel with voltage applied to the opposite gate. These models account for front-back channel interactions apparent in the MISIM-FET tetrode structure which cannot be modeled by one-sided MOS theory. In addition, they offer speed and simplicity in calculation or simulation of device characteristics. Preliminary experimental support is provided.<|endoftext|>Is it complex environments or complex systems that undermines police reform in developing countries?
Abstract This article is a reflection upon the challenges facing police reform in developing countries. In doing so it explores the usefulness of complexity theory both to understand the evidence of relative failure and to reconsider the explanations offered for that failure in terms of unique individual factors or the complex nature of the environment. The article suggests that the nature of police organisations as complex social systems may be a principal reason for failure. The article outlines some of the key features of complex systems and illustrates these from actual police reform. The article then turns to whether complexity theory can be of any practical use in police reform programmes. It concludes that greater success may be forthcoming if the insights of complexity theory are taken on board by reformers.<|endoftext|>Erythromycin Prophylaxis for Neonatal Conjunctivitis: Ointment Versus Drops.
BACKGROUND
Due to a shortage of individualized erythromycin ointment (IEO), we switched to shared erythromycin drops (SED). Following this change, nurses claimed observing more cases of eye discharge.
OBJECTIVES
To test whether switching from IEO to SED affected the rate of neonatal conjunctivitis (NC).
METHODS
The study group included 14,916 neonates > 35 weeks of gestation, further divided into two birth periods of 12 months each: 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2013 (IEO) and 1 February 2014 to 31 January 2015 (SED). We compared the two birth periods with regard to three variables: clinical NC (number of conjunctival swabs/1000 neonates), bacterial NC (number of culture-positive swabs/1000 neonates), and bacterial growth percentage (number of culture-positive swabs/100 samples).
RESULTS
Compared to 2012-2013, the period 2014-2015 included fewer cesarean deliveries and shorter length of stay (LOS). Clinical NC, bacterial NC and bacterial-growth percentage were not different between the two periods. Variables that were independently significantly associated with increased clinical NC included male gender (OR 1.48, CI 1.21-1.81) and LOS (OR 1.24, CI 1.18-1.29). LOS was associated with bacterial NC (OR 1.19, CI 1.11-1.28). Coagulase-negative staphylococci, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the prevalent pathogens, though without difference between periods.
CONCLUSIONS
Rates of clinical NC, bacterial NC and bacterial-growth percentage were not different between the study periods. Switching from IEO to SED had no effect on the NC rate.<|endoftext|>In vitro study of pro-inflammatory and anti-tumour properties of microvesicles from bacterial cell wall of Pantoea agglomerans.
In the environment, Gram-negative bacteria are capable of producing large amounts of endotoxin-containing microvesicles - spherical structures measuring 30-50 nm in diameter, emerging by fragmentation of the outer membrane of the bacterial cell wall. Microvesicles are suspected of inducing inflammatory lung diseases, but possibly also of stimulating anti-tumour defence mechanisms. The present study was aimed at assessing the pro-inflammatory and anti-tumour properties of microvesicles in vitro. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 5 healthy volunteers were cultured for 6 h, 24 h, 3 days, and 5 days with microvesicles (MV) of Pantoea agglomerans at concentrations ranging from 0.48-1500 microg/ml. The following outcomes were measured: secretion of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha (by ELISA and ELISpot), intensity of cell proliferation (LPT), expression of surface markers CD8, CD14, CD16, CD25, CD69, CD80, CD83, HLA-DR, and apoptosis markers (by flow cytometry). After 24 hours, a clear dose-dependent response to microvesicles was seen for IFN-gamma production, starting already at the lowest concentration of 0.48 microg/ml (p=0.04). A 2-fold increase in TNF-alpha production was seen after 3 days at the concentration of 1,500 microg/ml (p=0.05). A clear and significant dose-dependent increase in cell proliferation in response to MV was detectable after 5 days (p=0.001). A decrease in the percentage of CD14(+)CD83(+) monocytes was observed after 1 day of culture. We conclude that IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha are triggered at different concentrations of microvesicles: at lower concentrations only IFN-gamma is upregulated, whereas at higher concentrations both IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha are secreted.<|endoftext|>Enumeration of Vibrio cholerae O1 in Bangladesh waters by fluorescent-antibody direct viable count
A field trial to enumerate Vibrio cholerae O1 in aquatic environments in Bangladesh was conducted, comparing fluorescent-antibody direct viable count with culture detection by the most-probable-number index. Specificity of a monoclonal antibody prepared against the O1 antigen was assessed and incorporated into the fluorescence staining method. All pond and water samples yielded higher counts of viable V. cholerae O1 by fluorescent-antibody direct viable count than by the most-probable-number index. Fluorescence microscopy is a more sensitive detection system than culture methods because it allows the enumeration of both culturable and nonculturable cells and therefore provides more precise monitoring of microbiological water quality.<|endoftext|>A reformulation of the Lesaint–Raviart discontinuous Galerkin method for advection equations
The Lesaint–Raviart method was introduced in 1974 for the numerical solution of the neutron transport equation. It is probably the first discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method ever introduced. In this paper, we propose an equivalent formulation of this DG‐type method for advection problems that can be easily implemented into existing finite element codes. The proposed formulation also presents some advantages in domains where there is no inflow boundary such as those encountered in the tire industry.

Two asymptomatic, elderly patients with a distant history of smoking presented with solitary lung masses on screening chest radiographs ordered by their primary care physicians. One was an 87-year-old man with a 3.7-cm left upper lobe mass and the other a 72-year-old woman with a 2.6-cm right upper lobe mass. Both had a significant history of cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and type II diabetes mellitus. Because of clinical suspicion for a primary lung malignancy, positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (CT) scans were ordered and demonstrated increased hypermetabolic activity within the lung masses, but not within the mediastinum or outside the thorax. CT-guided biopsies revealed poorly differentiated, nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma in both patients. Per standard guidelines, the patients were referred to a thoracic surgeon; however, both were deemed high-risk surgical candidates. 1 Therefore, both patients were referred for definitive radiotherapy of their stage I lung cancers. Using CT-based radiotherapy planning, both patients were treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) using three doses of 18 Gy delivered within 1 week and at least 72 hours between each fraction (Figures 1A, B). Per our standard practice, on each day of treatment, we performed cone beam CT scans on the treatment machine to ensure proper positioning before the delivery of each radiotherapy dose. In these two patients, the cone beam CT scans performed before the first and second radiation doses did not identify any tumor changes. However, the cone beam CT scan before the third radiation dose demonstrated a large, central cavitation within the tumors of both patients (Figures 2A, B). These findings represented a rapid and significant change from the second treatment cone beam CT that |
climb to second spot in the Eastern Conference against an out of sorts Atlanta outfit this weekend. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
Orlando City beat Atlanta United 3-1 at the end of last month.
Atlanta won just one of their last seven games.
Orlando won seven of their last 11 fixtures, losing only twice.
Atlanta United’s underwhelming start to the new MLS campaign continued on Thursday when they were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw by one of the league’s newest franchises, Inter Miami.
With Frank de Boer ousted as manager and Stephen Glass moved up to replace him in the dugout temporarily, Atlanta are in the midst of a period of uncertainty, and Orlando City took advantage of that when the teams last met just a little over a week ago.
City, who can move up to second in the Eastern Conference with another victory on Sunday, left Atlanta with three points after a fine 3-1 win at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and with United looking low on confidence, Orlando are worth backing to take advantage of their plight again.
Alongside our home win forecast, we’re tipping Orlando to win 3-1 for our correct score prediction. Atalanta look completely out of sorts at present, and a more impressive City outfit, who won 3-1 in two of their last three games, can match the winning result they secured at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium at the end of last month.<|endoftext|>An Arduino UNO application: GPS guided unmanned ground vehicle
This paper presents an application of Arduino UNO to GPS guided unmanned vehicle. The four-wheeled small scale (55 cm χ 25 cm) vehicle is capable of moving forward, rotating and consists of a GPS sensor, a magnetometer, a motor driver and four DC motors. The target coordinates (key points) are manually entered as a part of the control algorithm script (.ino file). The developed control algorithm makes a blind calculation of the distance and required rotation between consecutive key points. The initial coordinates of the vehicle, however, requires the only field-dependent calculation of the distance and target heading between the initial and the first key point. The whole target route is achieved by consecutive “rotation” and “forward movements (straight path)” between key points. The GPS sensor is used to determine the initial coordinates whereas magnetometer is used to determine the heading (and rotation) before (and during) each key point movement. When taxiing through blind-calculated route, the acquired GPS data is transmitted via Bluetooth for offline monitoring.<|endoftext|>There’s an intriguing backdrop to Deloitte’s 2013 Global Shared Services Survey report, just published. Why are so many business cases being missed in shared services?
The survey confirms that things are progressing as expected. There’s growth – in the breadth of services offered, and in the spread of locations – and more complexity and sophistication, with more multifunction SSCs, more hybrid delivery models and more stand-alone GBS organizations.
The word on the street is that few shared services programmes deliver their business case. They may do great things, they may employ very talented people, but often there seems to be a question mark over benefits realization. And although the 2013 Survey report doesn’t comment on this directly, a (separate) Deloitte webinar last week seemed to confirm that there’s no smoke without fire.
There’s no single solution. Every organization is different. But I’m going to stake a claim that one of the root causes for the ‘missing’ benefits – maybe the root cause – is a laid-back approach to process management.
It’s the attitude that defining process is simply an overhead and a non-value-add activity; that it’s a temporary project requirement, to be consigned afterwards to a dusty folder on the intranet; that it doesn’t matter if process is in duplicated and overlapping fragments, in different tools and formats, unconnected with real work, and ‘governed’ only by email.
Without the rigour and support of a process management platform, effective collaboration among the stakeholders on the design and implementation of change is, at the very least, in jeopardy. We see it mostly obviously, and dramatically, in the chasm that can appear between IT and the business, but it undermines effective collaboration between all the other stakeholders too.
As it happens, my colleague Angela Chamberlain and I are presenting a WTG webinar on this theme next week. To hear more on how Nimbus provides a platform for process excellence that can underpin sustainable success in HR Transformation, please register here and join us.

People will make fun of the rear wing, then ask why the underbody neon lights aren't on. They'll rag on the ligneous shift linkage, hare-trigger clutch pedal, jerky slow starts, unpleasant interior materials, and stereo system that sounds like a boombox in an empty garage. They'll say you're making less rational decisions than Shia LaBeouf.
Don't debate the STI's shortcomings. Instead, fight what driving an Subaru WRX STI says about you. People will make you out to be a senseless goon, but what you really are is an automotive enthusiast that knows a good bargain. For $35,000, you get a spacious sedan with a 305-hp, turbocharged boxer engine and performance that merits a higher price. The car will accelerate like a slightly turned-down 911 Turbo. It sounds like one, too.
The Subaru WRX STI feels set up to go to a track day or run a rally stage at any moment. You never think you're going through turns fast enough in this car. You'll meet traction's limit but when you do, you won't go tumbleweeding—you'll do controlled four-wheel slides. The steering will get light but won't go limp, the engine will respond to each of your right foot's taps, and the blow-off valve will spit out excess air when you lift to shift gears.
The Subaru WRX STI is unchained without being uncontrollable. It's more polished than its predecessor, but not by much. It's the STI's performance per dollar that sells the car. If you buy an STI, your spouse or friend or Tinder buddy will look at you like you're coming through a bathroom door with an axe, but reassure them you know what you're doing. While it might not look like it, you're sane.

Our aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) in the control of postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus associated with the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. This study was carried out as a single centre, prospective study with a sample size of 30 patients to evaluate the effectiveness of LLLT following surgical removal of impacted third molars. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of 15 each. Group 1(Study /LLLT group) consisted of patients undergoing LLLT and with the use of postoperative analgesics and antibiotics. Group 2 (Control) included patients who were administered postoperative analgesics and antibiotics without the concurrent use of LLLT. The predictor variable was the LLLT application following mandibular third molar impaction surgery. The outcome variables namely pain, swelling, and trismus were evaluated on the day of surgery and 1st, 3rd, and 7th postoperative days (POD).Results:The pain was highest on POD 1 and gradually reduced by POD 7 in the study group when compared to the control group. Swelling showed a steep increase on POD 1 and thereafter a gradual reduction was observed on POD 7, when compared to the control group, the study group showed a significant decrease in swelling. Mouth opening was the lowest on POD1 and gradually increased by POD 7 in the study group than in the control group. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that the application of LLLT to impacted mandibular third molar sockets helps eliminate/or reduce postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus.<|endoftext|>Realized Volatility and Price Spikes in Electricity Markets: The Importance of Observation Frequency
This paper uses high frequency spot price data from eight wholesale electricity markets in Australia, Canada, and the United States to estimate realized volatility and the frequency of price spikes. I find similar levels of realized volatility in Australia and North America, with estimates ranging from 1500% to 2700%, much greater than estimates reported previously in the literature. In hourly data, the frequency of price spikes ranges from approximately 35% to 40% in seven of eight markets. I present evidence that increasing the lag length in the calculation of bipower variation improves jump detection in electricity prices.<|endoftext|>PRESIDENTIAL SYMPOSIUM: UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF OBESITY ON HEALTHY LIFE EXPECTANCY THROUGH CROSS-NATIONAL COMPARISONS
Background: Health assets are resources that individuals or communities have at their disposal, which protect against negative health outcomes and promote wellbeing. Health assets may mitigate the effects of frailty for hospitalized older adults and decrease mortality and other adverse outcomes. Methods: This secondary analysis was performed on data collected on 1418 inpatients aged over 69 using the interRAI assessment system for acute care tool. Potential health assets present in the dataset were chosen based on a literature review and expert opinion.

the Senate last week, Sen. Jeff Bingaman discussed the one single issue that has roiled our government for all three decades he has served in the Senate.
," Bingaman said.
The debate predates his Senate service. He noted that two yeas before he was elected, Ronald Reagan declared in his 1981 inaugural address that, "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."
The weakness in that analysis is that it assumes we've only got one problem, when in fact we have many — some of which government is uniquely suited to deal with.
Bingaman reviewed the top issues faced by Congress during his 30 years of service, and concluded that the record of progress was mixed at best.
— National security: The end of the cold war and the collapse of the Soviet Union were "clearly the most positive developments that we have seen in the last 30 years," Bingaman said.
," Bingaman said.
— Economy: Bingaman noted that when he arrived in the Senate in 1983, it was, "a period of large deficits compared to anything the country had experienced for several decades."
The Reconciliation Act of 1990 and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of that same year both increased tax rates and cut spending to produce balanced budgets and even surpluses from 1998 to 2001. But the Bush tax cuts combined with increased spending for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a new prescription drug bill took us back to even larger deficits, Bingaman said.
."
— Energy: Major energy bills passed in 2005 and 2007 "moved us toward a better and more comprehensive national energy policy," Bingaman said. However, the bipartisan consensus evident when those bills were passed no longer remains.
"I hope that in future Congresses there will re-emerge a recognition that climate change is a reality, that our policies to meet our energy needs must also deal responsibly with environmental issues, including the damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions."
As for Congress itself, Bingaman said its not hard to see why public opinion is at an all-time low. He said three things Congress must change are a willingness to shut down the government, to risk default by refusing to raise the debt limit and abuse of the filibuster in the Senate.

Use simple materials--some of them already in your yard--to strengthen plants to endure the rigors of winter.
Protect branches from winter wind, ice and snow damage by pruning straggling, leggy and weak branches back to a growth junction as plants enter dormancy in the fall. This will prevent breakage, tearing and splitting that can damage larger portions of plants. If pruning branches larger than 1 inch in diameter, protect cut surfaces with grafting wax or wound paint to prevent disease and ice damage. Prune back dead foliage and stems on flowering perennials to prevent wind damage that can pull on roots.
Protect base stems and roots from freezing temperatures, ice and snow. Mound top soil, wood chips or shredded bark mulch around plant roots and lower stems, to a height of 3 to 6 inches. Rose growers routinely mulch over hybrid graft sites low on main stems; that way, a rose that was pink last summer will remain pink in seasons to come.
Use burlap or permeable landscape cloth and green stakes to build wind-barriers around vulnerable hedges or free-standing evergreens. Water and warmth will penetrate the cloth, but wind-damage will be less.
Make a greenhouse with plastic sheeting and green stakes around perennials and small evergreens in planters. Place movable planters in clear plastic bags. Anchor a green stake in the soil and gather bag edges around it. Cut some holes or slits close to the rim of the planter to allow for moisture from rain and snow to enter. Wrap sheeting and stake it around large planters that cannot be bagged. Translucent plastic permits light and warmth to penetrate.
Augment cold protection inside weather barriers by adding 6 inches of shredded bark mulch or fallen leaves. Some gardeners substitute shredded newspaper.
Use the branches from your post-holiday Christmas tree and other evergreen decorations to protect plants during mid-winter ice storms. Build tents over roses and other vulnerable perennials with branches. These temporary shelters prevent heavy snow and ice from breaking plants. (Cut and store the trunk of your Christmas tree to fuel next year's Christmas fireplace.)<|endoftext|>Experimental work creating a 360 immersive game in the Unity game engine, using a custom made cube camera to render the game content via Syphon to Omnidome for a real time immersive gaming prototype.

Commission green lights first phase of Oregon Clean Fuels Program
- Christina Williams
- Sustainable Business Oregon editor- Portland Business Journal
Oregon's Environmental Quality Commission voted four to one Friday to start the first phase of the Clean Fuels Program, an effort to stimulate the use of more low-carbon transportation fuels that was put in motion by the Oregon Legislature in 2009.
During phase one of the program Oregon fuel producers and importers will keep records and report to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality on the volumes and carbon intensities of the fuels they provide in Oregon.
The second phase of the program, which will begin after further study and structuring, will likely begin in 2015.
In the second phase fule businesses will be required to reduce the carbon content of those fuels by using more biofuel-type content. The ultimate goal of the program is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent from 2010 levels.
Last week, a coalition of businesses that oppose the Clean Fuels Program, formed to voice their concerns which include higher prices and burdensome regulations.
There is also concern that a similar program enacted in California is facing a lawsuit which questions the use of low-carbon requirements as interference with interstate commerce.
Jana Gastellum, climate protection program director for the Oregon Environmental Council, pointed out that the California Air Resources Board is continuing to move |

Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) is a renowned specialist in prison breaking in high-security facilities. He owns a company with his partner Lester Clark (Vincent D'Onofrio) and he works with his coworkers and friends Abigail (Amy Ryan) and Hush (50 Cent). (Caitriona Balfe) that offers five-million dollars to him to test a state-of-art facility. Breslin accepts the challenge but soon he learns that he was double-crossed. The cruel prison ward Hobbes (Jim Caviezel) gives special attention to Breslin, following the instructions of his client and uses his right arm Drake (Vinnie Jones) to break Breslin. But the inmate Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) gets close to Breslin and helps him to find a way to escape and find who betrayed him. Will they be well succeeded in their intent?
"Escape Plan" is a full of action movie with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger and a great cast. The plot has the usual flaws but entertains a lot using the themes prison, betrayal and revenge that are always attractive. My vote is seven.

This very rare heirloom leaf celery grows in a dense bush of regular celery shaped leaves, topping pinkish red stems. Celery is normally classed as a biennial, but will continue to grow, after going to seed in the second year. Performs well on the coast as a winter vegetable, if mulched with straw or leaves. The flavour of the leaves in medium strong, great for a garnish and flavouring sauces, stews and soup. The young leaves make a fine salad addition. Leaf celery is also a good digestive aid.

Wait, why is it “up to each of us and every one of us” to make the government work better?
I didn’t sign up for that job. You probably didn’t, either. The folks who run the government never seem all that interested in my suggestions about how to get it to work better, anyway.
I’ve got other stuff to do besides making an effort to make the federal government work better. You probably do, too.
I thought he spent most of 2007–08 telling us that he was the one who could get the federal government to work better, and then spent 2012 telling us we had to keep him in that job. Now he’s saying that “better” will require effort from . . . everyone. Apparently none of us are allowed to “stand on the sidelines,” or else the whole thing won’t work.
In fact, Obama says at the beginning, “as anyone knows, dealing with the federal government is not always high-technology and it’s not always user-friendly . . . Currently, when our government asks for bids on a project, it’s usually written in complicated language with complicated requirements that most people don’t understand.” Well, we didn’t write those forms.

WAS IT WORTH A 900 MILE PLANE RIDE????
The NASCAR Xfinity Series spent last Saturday night running a stand alone event at the Iowa Speedway where rookie phenom Erik Jones scored his third win of the season for Joe Gibbs Racing. Because of the fact that the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series was racing on the other side of the country, in Pocono, Pennsylvania, it was assumed that for once the Xfinity teams would be allowed to compete without the presence of Cup drivers and their high dollar rides. It was a situation that many heralded as being about time.
However, we soon learned of Brad Keselowski's plans to run the race at Iowa despite a very stringent Pocono schedule. Keselowski began last Saturday driving his Roger Penske owned Ford in the Cup series' final practice at Pocono. Next it was off to a nearby airport where he boarded a Penske owned plane that transported him 900 miles to Newton, Iowa. Keselowski finished 8th in his Discount Tire Ford. After the race he flew back to Pocono and made to the comfort of his home away from home personal RV a little past 2am eastern time. As it turned out, rain moved the Cup race from Sunday to Monday giving the driver plenty of time to rest and relax.
The question remains: was the round trip airplane ride really worth it? The cost of aviation fuel alone says probably not. So, why do it especially when Penske Racing had NASCAR Next driver Austin Theirault at Iowa to drive the car during practice and qualifying session while Keselowski was at Pocono.
When it comes to participating in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Penske brings his A plus game by placing his Cup drivers, Keselowski and Joey Logano, behind the wheel. Penske Racing won the Xfinity Series' Owners Championship in 2013, 2014 and 2015. However, the domination of the series by Kyle Busch, Erik Jones and Joe Gibbs Racing has left Penske in fifth place in the current owners points standings 94 points behind leader J D Gibbs. With no other Cup drivers in the Iowa race it's likely Penske thought this race might be an opportunity to cut into the Gibbs lead. It's also likely that Discount Tire, a long time Penske sponsor since 2007, was only too happy to support flying Keselowki to Iowa last weekend.
Was it worth all that effort? Only Roger Penske can answer that question but it sure was interesting.
Last weekend the community of Lovelock, Nevada held their annual Frontier Days. It was a three day community celebration that included two nights of racing at the Lovelock Speedway. Meanwhile in the community of Fernley, Nevada, the Fernley 95A Speedway was set to present their normal Saturday night program. However, when the Fernley track management heard about Frontier Days they opted to cancel their show.
In a prepared statement they said "due to Lovelock Speedway running Frontier Days that weekend, we here at Fernley 95A Speedway felt it would be appropriate to not run a program during their biggest race of the year. We feel all tracks benefit when they work together to support the racing community."
A tip of the racing hat goes to the Fernley 95A Speedway management. It was a very classy thing to do.

Abstract Optimum conditions for chromatographic separation of bromides of (E)-N o-, m-, and p-nitrobenzyl-4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxystilbazole-4 are presented. This work was a continuation of an earlier investigation, which was necessary because of difficulties when standard (octadecyl) phases had been applied. Analyzed isomers show antimicrobial activity. In the investigation were considered three aryl stationary phases (phenylbutyl, naphthylpropyl, and Hypercarb), two mobile phases (acetonitrile, dichloromethane), and various intensities of flow. The best selectivity (α1 = 1.74, α2 = 1.22) was obtained using the naphthylpropyl column and 100% acetonitrile as the mobile phase. An application of the octadecyl phase, recommended by numerous analysts as the standard, allowed only to observe an existence of two compounds, but did not yield satisfactory results.<|endoftext|>45 Days of Erotica.

Creating load combinations is a necessary task in the design workflow. The question is whether this task should not be fully automated, considering that it is pretty straightforward and very well-defined in the relevant design norms. In the context of composite design, such automation is needed even more, because different construction stages need to be considered, and even self-weight varies between the stages of construction and exploitation.
Diaphragms provide clearer results and faster calculation, because they simplify the analysis model. This simplification uses a few reasonable assumptions, all of which are based on decades of engineering experience. The choice whether to use diaphragms is on the design engineer. Using diaphragms in your model is like automating engineering judgement in CAE computation routines.
In addition, composite cellular beams can now be analysed. Support for cellular beams is important in the context of composite design, because without the web openings, composite floors cannot accommodate all the needed services while remaining cost-effective.
Code-based load combinations can now be managed in the background: based on the loads defined on the structure, SCIA Engineer creates, tracks, and dynamically updates a set of necessary load combinations for composite design.
Construction stages and the increased weight of fresh concrete are taken into account, thus eliminating the need for the user to figure out, create and keep up-to-date load combinations.
Rigid in-plane diaphragms combined with tributary-area distribution for gravity loads offer a good approximation of the actual behaviour of composite slabs. These two analysis extensions offer the user a way to obtain clear and verifiable results while reducing computation time.
Composite cellular beams are now supported on analysis level; these can also be designed according to the British and Irish NA via a bi-directional link to the CellBeam* design tool provided by the British fabricator Westok.
For a structure with composite floors, there is practically only one correct set of code-based load combinations that should be defined. But the possible mistakes are many. This is why we decided to offer full automation on the level of load combination generation for composite projects. This makes composite design in SCIA Engineer clearer and easier for the user.
The user can now specify if he prefers the combinations be managed by the software. Based on the load cases that exist in the model, a set of combinations will be generated and load cases will be assigned according to their stage.
The automatic generation of (staged) combinations is supported according to the ASCE 07 and to the EN 1990 code. Four code combinations will be created in the case of the IBC design (ultimate and serviceability for both construction and final stages), whereas five are needed for the EuroCode design (an accidental combination for fire design is generated in addition).
Once created, combinations are automatically updated. If the user adds more loads or new load cases, these will also be included without any action on the user side. The user may disable the |

Who controls the past controls the future.
-George Orwell
As I already said more than once, what the world has now didn’t come out of nowhere. Neither infiltration of the Right nor weakness of the left-leaning mainstream are things brand new, unless someone completely ignores events of the last century that happened outside of the U.S.A.
It would be just stupid to suppose that KGB tyranny disappeared on its own. Fortunately at least for fellow anti-communists I write this article to, this myth has been already exposed, but the main trouble remains unresolved. I guess many people wonder how a thug country with in fact legislated serfdom and daily life comparable to African dictatorship could regain its world domination potential within about 10 years, getting a horde of supporters worldwide.
This “infiltration” has gone far enough to make a real breakup, so we can already speak about two large right-wing groups. But it’s not the worst outcome – at least, compared to Europe where the putinist right has become a mirror image of the official left and the natural right-wing movement is reduced to a few near-extinct groups, harassed by both leftists and putinists.
This “natural Right” can include individuals of different opinions, some of whom may ever deny their political affiliation, unwilling to join any of existing parties – as myself do. They are united by classic centuries-old honest ideals of human Dignity, Liberty, self-defense, private property etc.
The “corrupt Right” (or infiltrated one) is another story. Their NS-like urge to join into flocks and find a Big Wise Leader to lead towards Happiness prevails upon everything. A perfect environment to find pea-brain followers for the ideology of abominations named russism.
Important digression #1. Despite all changes in mass media towards easy access to all kinds of information, russists don’t even try to conceal their leftist essence. Indeed, they are feeding their supporters worldwide with right and left hands both at the same time. Both of sides feel happy, confident that Putin is a true “savior” of Christian world (or true friend of last “socialist paradise” states). This is an evident indicator of their mental capabilities. Or how it’s easy to buy someone for cheap BS and wad of Lubyanka rubles.
It’s very noticeable that corrupt Right demonstrates extreme intolerance towards natural one, often even more ferocious than diehard leftist fanatics. The most recent example is Ukraine, where the people who just wanted to create a strong independent state (where every ethnicity willing to respect oneself and others is welcome) became a target for BS propaganda campaign of mad putinist assholes, who call themselves “conservatives” and “christians”. Either they are being whipped into this hysteria by promise of better salary from Lubyanka, or this is just panic fear of the “natural Right” emerge, which will make all putinist corruption evident, and their lackeys get deserved total contempt, which means one-way ticket to their beloved Russia.
Other example was the 2010 murder of Polish Government. President Lech Kaczynski was not only a strong leader, who could change the future of entire Eastern Europe. First of all, he was one of the key figures for the Natural Right, who opposed European neo-socialist LGBT praising mainstream as well as russist corruption. His common sense, true Faith and manliness were a true exception amongst modern Europeans.
Those digressions could be exhausting for some readers; alas, without a proper introduction the following thoughts would have been unclear, let alone reasons of my rage over Western unforgivable naivete.
PART 1. WHAT TO DO?
The West is deeply contaminated by stereotypes of “friendship” and “alliance” that have been grown, promoted and encouraged since the damned year of 1917. Now the resulting abominations got on the way of good guys, effectively paralyzing them while bad guys are enjoying with sacred cow status. Official libtard governments are working for ruskies – doesn’t matter much if willingly or just because of “non-violence” trend. Using this helplessness of authorities that discredited themselves in any way possible, Putin’s goons are multiplying their ranks worldwide. But weakness of their supposed adversaries is not a key to this disgraceful success.
There is no way to effective resistance without the truth about the past and russians know it – that’s why any attempt to investigate the true history of USSR makes them so mad (in Russia, one can get a real prison term for that). Politically correct junkies may invent a thousand explanations why Russia is aggressive and how it’s like the Third Reich. Any of those arguments will be far from real explanation likewise.
Amongst anti-russists (which are in fact, advanced anti-communists who realized the source of all trouble after watching it from within) the understanding is coming naturally, like bird’s ability to fly. Unfortunately, the West still remains mostly reluctant to use experience of people who successfully resisted against the filth of putinism, helping others to find their way and regain confidence lost in madness of modern political reality. Looks like “enlightened” Westerners still believe it’s possible to stop the plague without quarantine and elimination of the source (too “politically incorrect” methods) or just afraid to offend the nation of red thugs.
If you open ANY anti-russist Website, you find a section dedicated to Soviet history. Often it will be the main one. This is the thing each and every Western anti-communist must always remember, and here comes a reference to Orwell’s quote in the beginning.
To straighten things and undo the corruption as much as possible, one must do a review of “popular” version of History and bring century-old russian lies to complete debunk together with modern BS, which is nothing more than poor copy of their old propaganda regardless of certain subject. Russian barking about “family traditions” and “Christianity” has no more truth than Soviet slogans on “peaceful intentions”.
In a nutshell, I consider the following facts an initial basis:
- So-called “russian people” (nearly 95% of modern russian population) are separate biological group of human-like specimen with inborn serf mentality, reduced mental capabilities and increased aggressiveness. Untermenschen (subhumans) created by methods of unnatural selection, never applied to any living beings by any other regime before or after. Read the interview of Dr. Sergey Melnikoff to know the details.
So-called “great patriotic” war (russian WW2 phase) never was a defensive one. Indeed, their former Nazi buddies decided to strike only after they detected serious preparations for bolshevist assault on Europe. Despite the nature of National Socialism, we must give them a credit: they had working “what if” plan, in contrast to modern partners of Russia, whose pitiful attempts to resist leave them pantless. And if not “evil Nazi invasion”, USSR would have extended its territory until Portugal coastline.
By supporting the evil empire during WW2, the West made a terrible mistake, causing much more trouble for everyone than it would have been if Third Reich ended up as winner in Europe.
So-called “Cold War” has been an excuse for turning a half of Europe into russian bloody playground, and so-called “nuclear balance” for peace – an elitist utopia. Trusting a weapon of equal power to mad thug is a suicide. By missing the opportunity to destroy the USSR before they got the nuke blueprints, the West sentenced itself to life in constant fear and gave Russia another chance for the world domination.
So-called “perestroyka” has been a global hoax. No comments here.
So-called “partnership” with bloody descendants of soviet butchers and feeding brute named Russia with its neighbors (Chechnya, Georgia, Poland, Ukraine… what’s next?) for “own benefit” is nothing but a guaranteed war in the future, already on own territory. It’s not Chechnya or Ukraine, or President Kaczinsky’s head, or even Europe that ruskies want to have. They need THE ENTIRE WORLD to live in serfdom and misery under the reign of eternal thuggish regime. Just because, see p.1. Even if at least one country that has own Dignity and Liberty remains, ruskies will continue carrying on their insane red invasions, blaming everyone around “Nazis, Banderovites, junta, Jihadists” etc.
To admit own mistakes the West made requires courage, which unfortunately, won’t be demonstrated by the majority without a proper motivation. It’s very important to distinguish anti-russist attitude form pro-Nazi, resisting any attempt to equate those two terms – which is one of the favorite tricks of putinists and libtards (read more about that further). BTW, Nazis and their modern followers never were anti-russian in general, but this is another story.
PART 2. FACES OF THE ENEMY
What the West has now? Old moldy myths on USSR, making hereditary criminals untouchable to Justice. Politically correct mainstream idiots who prefer to rot alive in GULAG rather than “offend” ruskies, doing just what thug Putin |
strings, its threads nicely unwound into a vaguely Layla-ish coda. Both parties seem to thrive on the setup, with Lynch apparently relishing his role as band leader, and his conscripts’ enjoyment evident from the grins and flourishes (with drummer Owen Williams deserving special mention for his stellar showboating).
With a full house of talent at his disposal, Lynch recasts his lo-fi, electronically processed originals in new and flattering shapes, demonstrating the versatility of his songwriting in the process. But the evening’s boldest reversioning is reserved for the closing number: an epic take on Bonnie "Prince" Billy’s Master and Everyone, beefed up and expanded to several minutes of monstrous, throat-shredding splendour.<|endoftext|>Stop Motion Lip Sync Project

This comes shortly after the Portland-based DJ/producer released his other EP, Pineapple, along with an official remix by G Jones.
Following up on previous releases, including two albums, seven EPs and other singles, EPROM is not slowing down with his eighth EP, which released on November 28th. As Resident Advisor describes, his sound is like “meshing the rude with the avant garde,” drawing in a variety of comparisons to pioneers like Aphex Twin and Burial for his unique and forward-thinking sounds.
With releases on Warp, Rwina, Surefire, Cloak x Dagger and more, he’s created mixes for other artists such as The Glitch Mob, collaborated on an EP with Barclay Crenshaw (Claude VonStroke) and worked on a side project with Alix Perez called SHADES. He’s also received great support from Flume, Aphex Twin, Bassnectar, Machinedrum, REZZ, G Jones and more.
EPROM is currently on tour with G Jones through February 2018.

Corpus Christi Police Lt. Jason Brady said the injuries did not appear life threatening.
No other details of the accident were released, including the cause, but Brady said a 16-year-old was driving the unidentified car.
The incident tied up traffic in the area for a short period, officials said.

The cause of the fire and damage estimates were not available late Sunday.

Live Oak
Man killed, another hurt in car accident
One man was killed and another injured in a one-vehicle accident at 6:40 a.m. Sunday in Live Oak County.
Elpidio Martinez Jr., 23, died after being thrown out of the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix he was driving. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, he was traveling west on State Highway 72 when he drove the car into a ditch about four miles east of Three Rivers.
The car rolled two and a half times. Martinez was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
Martinez's passenger, 27year-old Hilbert Dell Schuster, suffered a back injury, but he was in stable condition late Sunday at Christus Spohn Hospital Beeville.
The DPS said Sunday the accident was the result of either heavy fog or driver fatigue.

Reservations online must be made with a credit card, according to the announcement. Reservations may also be made by calling 970-384-6309; groups of 20 or more need to call the Hanging Lake information line to make their reservation.
In addition, reservations may be made in-person starting on May 1, at the Hanging Lake Welcome Center, located at 110 Wulfsohn Road in Glenwood Springs, next to the Glenwood Springs Community Center.
Reservations for a permit to visit the lake will cost $12 per person. The 2019 Hanging Lake shuttle season runs from May 1 - Oct. 31, daily, from 6:45 a.m. to 8 p.m. Shuttles will leave from the Hanging Lake Welcome Center and drop visitors off at the Hanging Lake trailhead, according to a press release.
Cars will be restricted from Hanging Lake, this summer as shuttles will service the trailhead outside Glenwood Springs from 6:45 a.m. until 8 p.m., May 1 - Oct. 31.
Visitors may plan for three hours of hiking and recreation from the time they are dropped off at the trailhead until they are picked up. Visitors who wish to shorten or extend their time at Hanging Lake may be placed on standby for an earlier or later shuttle back to the Hanging Lake Welcome Center.
Those who wish to bike or hike to the Hanging Lake trailhead still need to make a reservation for a permit on. According to the release, a percentage of permits have been set aside for an ‘“early-bird” biking reservation special and will be available for a special rate of $9.50 from April 1 through May 1, or until “early-bird” reservations fill up.
The early-bird rate is good for any date during the 2019 season. Hanging Lake is open year-round.
The permit system is also enforced year-round. Those who visit Hanging Lake in the off-peak season (Nov. 1 - April 30) must still obtain a permit through the reservation system; however, it will cost $10 during this time period. During the off-peak season, visitors may bike or drive their personal vehicles to the trailhead as shuttles will not be provided during the off-peak season.<|endoftext|>Apple’s mobile wallet service and Google Pay are now accepted worldwide by Arkay Beverages.

th minute. Both Brodie Steigerwald (Olympic) and Brendan Quilic (Bellingham) were dismissed. Quilici for what was viewed as a two-footed tackle and Steigerwald for throwing a punch after the foul. In the ensuing gathering of players Nick Cashmere was cautioned. He later got a second yellow for holding the ball and delaying the chance of the other team to play it. It was that red that reduced the Hammers to nine men.
Defender Steven Prevost started the comeback effort for the Force with a goal in the 61st minute. Since starting their first EPLWA season 1-5 Olympic has turned the corner with a 3-2 streak.
Yakima United 1-2 Spokane Shadow
YAKIMA, WA—The Shadow, with a game in hand, used a 2-1 win Sunday on the road against Yakima United to leapfrog Vancouver for second in the Evergreen Premier League and just one point back of leaders South Sound. Both teams, coming off positive results the night before against the league’s top two sides, played to a scoreless stalemate in the first half on the long grass that slowed the pace down.
Two minutes into the second half Brady Ulen, who was playing at forward for the Shadow instead if defense, flicked on a Dustin Ferger throw-in, finding Chance Bukoski. The Hawaiian turned on his defender and let loose a shot from about 25 yards that found the upper corner.
The Shadow doubled the advantage in the 68th on a corner. Matt Bray’s service in to the near post was met by Matt Baringer. The UC-Davis player beat the leaping goalkeeper to the ball and nodded it down into the goal.
Yakima tried to rally but could only muster a nice free kick goal from about 25 yards out on the right side that Noe Meza put into the far upper corner past Tony Watters.
The Shadow are now unbeaten in their last seven (6-0-1) and still have not lost a road game in their two years of EPLWA play (10-0-2). The team is also unbeaten in the month of June the past two years now (8-0-1).

In 2012 dozens of groups around the country decided to change that. They coordinated a general strike to take place on May Day that year, encouraging people to avoid school and work and to take part in Occupy-inspired protests against economic inequality.
Hugh D’Andrade contributed to the movement with this poster, inspired by a nineteenth-century May Day broadside by Walter Crane. He released the poster online, under a Creative Commons license, and encouraged people to download it and use it as they saw fit. Its reach spread far and wide on blogs, news sites, and community boards. earliest May Day celebrations appeared in pre-Christian times, with the festival of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers. It is also associated with the Gaelic Beltane, and the giving of “May baskets”, small baskets of sweets and/or flowers, usually left anonymously on neighbors’ doorsteps is a tradition..
May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, has long been a day on which the labor movement holds street demonstrations and marches. This originates with the United States labor movement in the late 19th Century. On May 1, 1886, unions across the country went on strike, demanding that the standard workday be shortened to eight hours. In more recent years this day has been taken back by the “Occupy” movement. Some peaceful, some not-so-peaceful demonstrations have been held across the US in some of the larger Metropolitan areas.
Occupy the Streets
by Eric Drooker
The young woman represents the new generation stepping onto the world stage. (If you look closely, you’ll notice that she’s sowing seeds as she strides across the urban landscape.) I created this image to expand the notion of Occupy to be about public space, which has been shrinking in recent years as everything is becoming more and more privatized. The idea is to step away from your flat-screen, away from the Internet (however briefly) and into the living, breathing world. This poster was pasted onto brick walls and lampposts, and the artist physically left his studio and joined the growing crowd in the streets. — Eric Drooker

hope and pray that no one else will have to experience that level of service from him. Buying a home is a big accomplishment and anyone that is making that step should be represented by someone who is knowledgeable, professional and most importantly, someone who cares about you and the decision you are making to purchase a home. At no point did I feel like Charles displayed any of those characteristics.

Bought a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $125K in Alderman Park, Jacksonville, FL.
My first impression of Mr. Gaulden was professional, patient, kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable about the real estate market. I viewed quite a few homes and never experienced any negative vibes or responses from Mr. Gaulden. He was able to skillfully, and knowledgeably address any questions I had about anything in the homes regarding repairs, market values, financial requirements, and obligations. He always responded to my requests in a timely manner. I dealt with other agents prior to Mr. Gaulden, and I wasn't secure. Mr. Gaulden's care, concern, knowledge, patience, and professionalism added value, and security to my experience that will never be forgotten. He comes highly recommended.
Response from Charles
This gentleman was very helpful while I was looking for a property. He gave me the Pros and Cons of getting properties in all areas of the city. He also informed me of any programs I might be eligible for in my income bracket. I'm very excited about having a Realtor goto guy for future questions about real estate. I'm in the process of informing my family and friends of this gentleman at this time. Thank You Again Mr. Gaulden
Response from Charles
Charles has knowledge in many other areas and he has helped me make decisions many times in the area of realestate. If your looking for an honest opinion, this is the guy. No beating around the bush or leading you on. I mean, all agents are suppose to do so but I experienced it firsthand with Charles. So if you are looking for superior service from a superior agent i would advise that you give him a call.
Btw, Thanks Charles.

We had the pleasure of Mr. Gaulden assisting us in our successful search for real estate, upon relocating to Jacksonville, Florida. Upon meeting Mr. Gaulden, he immediately provided us with care and concern, which we were seeking in a real estate agent. Mr. Gaulden displayed intelligence, and professional knowledge on the matter of real estate, and kept us informed on the process from the inception of our selection of a home, and throughout the duration of our real estate transaction to closing. Mr. Gaulden was patience, and extremely through in addressing our concern throughout the process. I enthusiastically recommend Mr. Gaulden, as he is trustworthy and reliable, and provided us with exemplified customer service, which attest to his knowledge in the sell of real estate.

Charles is a true professional, extremely knowledgeable about the real estate industry. He assisted me with my first home purchase in Jacksonville FL. He did a thorough job in aligning my home purchase with the builders, the actual loan process with the bank and fielding all the questions I had about the process.

a slightly small head the fringe got in my eyes so my partner kindly removed it and blindfolded me. I asked why they didn’t just blindfold me over the wig, seemed reasonable so they gagged me. The response was because I’m in charge and this hairpiece is so alluring I don’t want to damage the strands by catching them in the knots. The wig is a real jet black and so tactile. I felt a million dollars with matching black lingerie and heels. This piece would suit anyone. The box the wig comes in is such beautiful quality, normally I’d bin packaging but the box is so elegant. The box protects the piece and there is also a hairnet. Overall the wig is very good, quality, a good weight with excellent styling. The cost is really reasonable.

So yesterday, I changed the rear brake pads and rotors on my 2017 M6DT and I am not sure if I missed anything?? The RR rotor was shot with a lot of groves in it but the pads were worn evenly?? Same in the RL. I changed them as they were at 90% worn. For rotors I used Bosch 34011641 QuietCast coated rotors at $30 per rotor and for pads I used Akebono ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad - ACT1874 .
I also bought a set of brake caliper bracket hardware kit, but unfortunately I don't think Mazda uses this on 2017 M6 as I couldn't fit the pads into the clips. Even that Mazda actually sells them but not sure why, maybe someone here knows anything more about it. My original pads were installed directly in the bracket.
1. Akebono pads inside and outside pad were different. One had two short studs in the bottom of the pad and originally were installed on the outside of the rotor. So that is how I installed my set. What is the purpose for this feature of these pads??
2. After the install, sims like everything works fine except one thing. Since the rotors are coated, I am able to see the instant wear and I've noticed that only top of the pad is touching the top part of the rotor as the |

Be it a sales team, a basketball team, or a majorette team, all need an ensemble describing them. Well, it’s not about looking good in them, but about having a mindset that helps a team stay ahead of the competition. This mindset is the winning mindset which eventually becomes an identity. Now, setting an identity apart is a must for any team and nothing does it better than custom team uniforms!
Why are Team Uniforms So Important?
While identity may be a significant reason behind team uniforms, uniforms for YOUR team may be a way to flaunt pride and unity. Moreover, it may be a representative message, conveying your values, your mission, and of course, your ultimate GOAL!
Research suggests that what you wear affects your thinking. If that’s true, team uniforms can do wonders. The cherry on top: you can now achieve the goal with the easy uniform customizations. All you need to do is design team uniforms and ready, set, GO!
But, Why Customize?
So you’re probably thinking, why would you spend a few extra hundred dollars on custom team uniforms when you can save by ordering an ordinary team uniform?
In addition to imprinting an image, team uniforms can play the role of sophisticated and professional gears that ensure subtle marketing. Whenever a team makes a public appearance, uniforms stand out and ensure that a brand image is consistently portrayed.
What else is having custom uniforms for your team potentially more beneficial for?
Wearing a uniform offers an association and fraternity feeling boosting confidence.
Uniforms help stand out and stand tall.
Aids team building, efficiency, and harmony.
It’s important to note that even though everyone is working towards the same goal the difference in attire invites the idea of superiority and inferiority in a team. Opting for an identical custom team uniform will really create a sense of equality which is important when your goal is winning as a team.
So, How To Order Team Uniforms?
Choosing the perfect custom uniform for your team may seem a little daunting. Here are some things to keep in mind when going through the process.
Firstly, what items will your team uniform consist of? Let’s say you’re opting for a custom football uniform, you need to bear in mind: top and bottoms, shoes, stockings, etc.. Hire a team uniform maker or sit down with your team and come up with one. Remember quality over quantity!
Of course, in order to clothe an entire team, you won’t be ordering a one size fits all. You’ll need different sizes to fit each individual. For custom sports uniforms, you’ll need to order more than one for each person just in case something goes wrong. Look around and explore options from the many team uniform makers available both in-store and online. Ask for samples and then go ahead and make the final decision.
Having understood how to order any kind of custom uniform is it soccer uniforms or majorette team uniforms, let’s jump to the exciting part!
Top 5 custom Team uniform ideas!
Digital design is known for producing brighter, clearer, more sharp images. You can simply decide on a logo for soccer or majorette team uniforms and forget the hassle of having it converted to another form. You can opt for Direct-to-Garment printing and have an exact replica of your design imprinted on the team’s uniform!
This is a popular and easy method for quick custom uniform solutions!
Screen printing involves the ink is printed directly onto the material through a screen, essentially making the logo part of the garment. This technique is best suited to higher volumes of garments. So, whether it is playing 5 or substitutes, everyone can have jerseys with your team logo screen printed on them.
Why screen print though? Well, because it will help you keep up the legacy for decades as it won’t fade away, won’t cost you much and definitely produce bulk in less time!
Embroidered logos are intricate and created through the use of machinery creating thousands and thousands of stitches to complete the logo. Why print colors when you can bring them to life with 3D embroidery.
What’s special about that? Well, The customization done through embroidery will last a lot longer and look more professional.
So, the uniform for your team doesn’t need to be mainstream. Your caps, socks, and even wristbands can be embroidered with a logo to leave a better impression.
You might decide not to opt for a logo or image on your team uniform. However, that doesn’t mean it cannot be customized. The Colour scheme, style of uniform, and different elements of uniform involved are all different ways of customization. This is a great option if funds are tight.
Why opt for a custom team uniform which is plain?
Because it never goes out of fashion!!!
Last but not the least, team uniforms can also be customized by adding different accessories. For example, a sweatband or headband matching the colors of the team uniform. Knee-high socks with the team logo and even water bottles!
All considered, whether you are looking for custom football uniforms or basketball team uniforms, your purpose is more or less the same. To stand out that is!
So, design team uniforms with team uniform builders over the web or step into custom sports uniform shops and customize the winning attire!<|endoftext|>I am delighted to introduce you to our literacy links.

As a result, there is a huge demand for the best billing systems globally.
It refers to the process of gathering and grouping the usage of telecommunication products or services for specific customers or accounts to record their transactions so as to produce invoices and send them, record payments and store them to the customer accounts.
The development of robust and effective telecom billing solutions was brought about by the complexity of mobile device technology and the pricing plans offered by the telecom service providers.
Having a robust telecom billing system is a very essential component for your telecom installation. Here’s what you need to know about the benefits of a telecom billing system.
The telecommunications industry is very competitive. Therefore, you can get ahead of your competitors by providing your customers with a reliable and efficient payment system for their telecom bills.
The best telecom billing system should have an option of electronic bills. Here, subscribers can view their bills using their digital devices such as computers, tablets or smartphones.
Now, telecommunications companies can save a lot of money that would have been used previously to print bills for their customers. The money can be redirected to other essential expenses in the company.
To prevent duplication problems, the best telecom billing solution should identify any identical records and eliminate them from the system. It is possible through the use of unique numbers of data sets. It is a useful screening process that reduces any errors linked to double billing for one account.
The billing process can be very complex. That’s because there are different pricing options offered to different customers. These include per minute billing or charging billing to the time of the day and many more.
The brand image of a telecommunication service provider can be severely impacted by numerous billing errors. Eventually, the company will lose many of its customers to the competitors. However, with a robust billing system, there is a guarantee of quality.
Customers are always in search of ways to reduce their telecommunication charges. By providing them with detailed information on their telecommunication usage, you will provide the data they need to choose the best billing plan for them.
A detailed billing report shows monthly data on customer’s call duration, date and time when calls were done, messaging information such as number of messages sent, received and delivered as well as the data charges for using their line.
Once a customer logs in to the online portal available from the telecommunications company, they should be able to get their full report without any hassles.
The most efficient and effective billing system should track all the expenditures related to telecom such as assets, usage and rate of subscription. The management team can use the information to make informed and better decisions regarding the growth trajectory of the company.
The telecommunication niche is very competitive. Companies often adjust their pricing tariffs to match the competition. An effective billing solution allows the company to effortlessly implement new pricing tariffs without any disruption to the current billing processes.
With an efficient billing system, telecom service providers can manage their budgeting processes in the right range. The system should be able to track the expenditure from the company’s clients and provide relevant alerts to the company when the milestones have been exceeded. This allows the company to implement appropriate solutions quickly to reduce their expenses considerably.

arrar (Son Volt), Anders Parker (Varnaline), Will Johnson (Centro-Matic) and Yim Yames (My Morning Jacket). Cherry-picking material written during Guthrie’s time living in California during the 1930’s, the subject matter is more in a non-political/non-protest vein. (Although Yames’ psychedelic take on “My Revolutionary Mind” includes the plea for the company of a leftist/progressively-minded paramour.) The foursome each sing lead on a trio of tunes with the other three taking on a supporting role. As such, the creative personalities of each participant are effectively imprinted on each song. Yames’ aforementioned trippy readings do flair up. They not only transition out of the more traditional acoustic arrangements of the Spanish-flavored “Talking Empty Bed Blues,” but tinge the Ladysmith Black Mambazo-ish choruses of “Changing World.” Johnson may heap on the echo throughout the ethereal “”Chorine My Sweet Queen,” but he also employs heavy-handed acoustic guitar (“No Fear”) and indulges in heavily distorted riffage (“V.D. City”), both reminiscent of Steve Earle and Crazy Horse respectively.
Parker’s honeyed vocals add some sweetness to the proceedings whether it’s on the gorgeously wistful “Fly High,” toe-tapping rock of “Old L.A.” or “Angel’s Blues,” infused with blues as they might have been played by Richard Thompson. As for Farrar, an outspoken admirer of Guthrie’s, his lot is more of a mixed bag. He sandwiches everyone else’s songs with epic opener “Hoping Machine,” and its epic combination of layered piano, acoustic strum and ringing harmonies that noticeably swell on the choruses. And while the combination of voices here is as glorious as it is on the remainder of the album, the closing title track still comes off sounding like a more repetitious mix of jangle and rigid cadences. The Uncle Tupelo founding member does redeem himself with “Careless Wreckless Love,” tossing off his usually dour phrasing and instead singing with a carefree breeziness coupled with a number of hooks sprinkled throughout this arrangement. In the end, these four alt-folkies honor their idol’s legacy, providing a gateway for a younger generation of fans to further experience and explore the importance of Woody Guthrie.<|endoftext|>Datorama Tips & Tricks: The Action Center

1. Atlanta Falcons, 7-0
Matt Ryan is a top five quarterback in the league this year and I don't think that can be questioned after what he has done to keep the Falcons undefeated. The offense has plenty f weapons and the defense continues to play better than most expected. The Falcons will likely lose a game, but it is hard to say when that will happen because even when they are challenged, they find a way to get past it.
2. Houston Texans, 6-1
I continue to just love what Houston does each week. The defense is nasty and J.J. Watt is a freak. As an old school football fan, I also love that they win with a solid running game behind Arian Foster and Ben Tate.
3. New York Giants, 6-2
I didn't punish the Falcons for winning close games so I cannot punish the Giants for nearly losing the last few weeks. New York has a way of just finding ways to win late, but Dallas certainly had a hand in the win this week as the Cowboys go the other way and find ways to lose.
4. San Francisco 49ers, 6-2
If Alex Smith plays the way he played Monday night, it is of my opinion that the 49ers are this year's Super Bowl winner. We already know they have one of the league's best run games and a top three defense (depending on who you ask). Smith was a dropped pass from being perfect Monday night and he did not turn the ball over. When the Niners do not turn the ball over, San Francisco does not lose. Period.
5. New England Patriots, 5-3
The Patriots three losses have been by the slimmest of margins and when they win they do so in dominant fashion. I don't trust the defense, but as long as Tom Brady is leading offense it likely won't matter until the playoffs.
6. Chicago Bears, 6-1
I was this close to pushing the Bears past the Niners this week but then the Bears almost lost a woeful Panthers team and the Niners blew out a good Arizona squad. The Bears defense is another top three unit, but Jay Cutler scares me. The Bears and Niners are a lot alike -- two strong defenses, two great running games and each has a quarterback that can beat you when they aren't turning it over.
7. Green Bay Packers, 5-3
The Packers are missing some key members on both sides of the ball, but we have seen this song before. The last time they played a season with so many injuries, they got healthy at the right time and won the Super Bowl. I would still take Aaron Rodgers as my QB if I was starting a team right now. And when key guys return on the offense, you'll take him, too.
8. Baltimore Ravens, 5-2
Unlike the popular trend, I have not given up on the Ravens just because of some key injuries. They still have a great rushing attack, an emerging QB, a great coaching staff and the defense still has elite talent despite the loss of Ray Lewis.
9. Denver Broncos, 4-3
There is no QB in the league playing better right now than Peyton Manning. Some of that may be that he is starting to get back to old form and some may be because he is not playing elite defenses. Still, if Manning is back and fully effective, the Broncos have to be a favorite to win the AFC.
10. Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-3
By default I am going with the Steelers and it is because they have been here before. Minnesota, Arizona, Seattle and Miami were all considered but I just think that Pittsburgh will be better than all of these teams at season's end. They also have Super Bowl winning QB directing the offense.
Bottom Five: 5. New Orleans Saints, 4. Cleveland Browns, 3. Carolina Panthers, 2. Jacksonville Jaguars, 1. Kansas City Chiefs.

After the annexation of Austria to Germany in March 1938, Austrian Jews sought refuge all over the globe. Elderly émigrés struggled to leave Austria, and when they could not, they contributed to a disproportionate aging of the Austrian Jewish community as compared to the Austrian population. Elderly émigrés have not received a great deal of attention from historians. Yet they faced many unique challenges, which are discussed in this article. Using previously untranslated letter collections and a variety of memoirs, this article explores the emigration attempts of several elderly Austrian Jews. These case studies demonstrate that elderly émigrés are worthy of further study and point to the importance of contextualizing the emigration of elderly individuals in family emigration and reunification efforts.<|endoftext|>A big picture focus on minimally invasive thymic surgery
This special issue of the journal Mediastinum is focused on minimally invasive surgical approaches for thymectomy. There is no question that surgery in general is being transformed from the traditional large open incisions to less invasive approaches.

Cachexia plays an important role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), due to its chronic inflammatory process characterized by decreased muscular mass with preservation or increase of fat that occurs in 1-13% of the RA population. A decreased BMI has a paradoxical relationship with disease activity, with an increase in disease activity and mortality (1). Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the production of nuclear autoantibodies that can form immune complexes and cause inflammation of multiple organs. Cardiovascular events and mortality are nearly twice as high in patients with SLE as in the general population. (2)To determine the relationship between BMI and disease activity in patients with SLE.A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in which a group of 58 patients with SLE were included and their level of disease activity was determined using the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) and BMI. Distribution was assessed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Descriptive analysis using measures of central tendency. Correlation between BMI and SLEDAI with Pearson’s test. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.The mean age of SLE patients was 35.4 ± 12.11 years, rest of demographic characteristics in Table 1. Pearson’s test showed a correlation between BMI and disease activity (r=Table 1.Demographic characteristicsSLE n=58Female n (%)54 (93.0)Age, years, mean ± SD35.4 ± 12.1DM n (%)2 (3.4)AH n (%)12 (20.6)DLP n (%)4 (6.8)Obesity n (%)4 (6.8)SLEDAI mean ± SD8.06 ± 6.4ANA positivity n (%)47 (81.0)BMI mean ± SD25.0 ± 4.9DM; Diabetes Mellitus, AH; Arterial Hypertension, DLP; Dyslipidemia, SLEDAI; Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index, ANA; Anti-Nuclear Antibodies, BMI; Body Mass Index.-0.304, p= 0.020) Image 1.

Dear Sir, When considering the prevention of parastomal herniation, colostomy rather than ileostomy, the proverb ‘prevention is better than cure’ is most apt. Indeed the special article by Hansson [1] is an important synopsis of the problems faced by patients and surgeons. As outlined in her commentary the use of prophylactic mesh has been advocated since 2004 with short-term results demonstrating its efficacy. Although longer-term results are still awaited, Hotouras et al. [2] thought it difficult for clinicians not to use mesh routinely. Whilst this may be the ideal, what are the thoughts ‘on the ground’? We conducted an email survey of the corresponding authors of 200 original articles recently published in Colorectal Disease and Diseases of the Colon and Rectum to ascertain current views with regard to the use of mesh. There were 111 (55%) respondents, 65 of whom were colorectal specialists with at least 10 years in practice including 31 with 5– 10 years and 15 with less than 5 years of experience in specialist practice. Overall only 17% of respondents said that they had used or observed the use of prophylactic mesh at the last elective permanent colostomy at which they had been present. On the question of emergency end colostomy, if the patient was unlikely to later undergo reversal, 43% of respondents said they would ‘consider’ the use of a prophylactic mesh. This uncertainty was independent of the level of specialist experience (range 42–49%), but when asked to consider what they would do personally, 73% said that they would not use mesh. Thus despite earlier published results, this analysis of current attitudes among colorectal surgeons demonstrates a high incidence of conservative views towards prophylactic mesh. This is a pity and suggests that there may be more ‘talk than action on the street’. Large prospective ‘personal’ audits and trials, preferably randomized, are clearly required to evaluate various methods of stoma formation and to influence our mind-set.<|endoftext|>I don’t know how familiar you are with this term actually, as it’s fairly new, and still seems largely confined to American English.

assays were used to estimate the incidence of LS symptomatic stalks. Latently infected stalks were estimated by subtracting the number of serological positives from the number of isolation positives. Field sampling was made after pre-harvest burning as the mechanical harvesters advanced through the fields. In ten fields surveyed, the incidence of a serological detection ranged from 1.1 to 12.2% and was assumed to be symptomatic stalks. For the same fields, the incidence of Xa detected by isolation (less the number detected by serology) ranged from zero to 16.1% and these were assumed to be LS latently infected stalks. These techniques were used where visual surveys could not be conducted because of restricted movement by the large biomass of tangled stalks and where burning made visual diagnosis questionable.<|endoftext|>The Campbell Soup factory is officially no more.
Demolition is now underway of the 89-year-old manufacturing facility in Etobicoke, which announced its closure in 2018 and closed officially in summer 2019.
Marking the end of a canned soup era in Toronto that spans back to 1931, the slow taking apart of the building by construction workers was filmed by local Anthony Aquan-Assee.
The video is just a small snippet, but it holds decades of history for the Etobicoke-Lakeshore community, where generations of residents worked at the plant.
It follows another iconic Etobicoke building, the old Mr. Christie’s cookie factory and its water tower, which was demolished in the last few years.
People who used to live or drive by the soup factory at 60 Birmingham St. will miss the variety of smells that emitted from the facility.You’d catch a whiff of asparagus, or chicken noodle, or tomato soup, depending on the day.
The closure of the Campbell factory saw 380 people laid off. According to President Ana Dominguez, the building simply couldn’t be retrofitted into something new and economically viable.
There are now plans to redevelop the site into a series of warehouse spaces.

If you’re looking for the perfect method to wash enamel paint from paintbrushes without harming the natural bristles then this is the right method for you pal. But we thought you’ll need to be equipped before moving to the steps.
First things first, just take a glass jar and put your brush inside. Now take the mineral spirit and pour pour pour, until it reaches the root of bristles.
But if you were planning to dip the whole brush on it, then it’s a big NO. Because the brush handle consists of paint itself. So the solution might take off that paint as well. And you obviously don’t want that right?
If not then be a bit careful while pouring the spirit on the jar. So, after you’ve done with the dipping part let it sit for 20 minutes.
Tick tock, times up.
Wait for 5mins and wipe any excess spirit on it using the towel. And Voila! Your paintbrush is clean as new.
A quick tip is to clean the brush with normal dish soap before reuse. It will help in cleaning any spirit on it.
Well if you still see any spot of enamel paint on the paintbrush then it’s time to soak the brush in a wonder solution.
Now it’s time to bring out your inner chemist and mix the aforementioned ingredients together. And here you go. The wonder solution is just ready to be used. Put your brush on the solution. Remember to place the brush in an upside-down position to make sure that the bristles are well soaked.
No wonder, you have to wait for your “wonder solution” to do actual wonders. So be patient for an hour and the result will surprise you.
After waiting patiently for an hour, it’s time for the big reveal. The paint came off right?
Didn’t we mention that the solution does wonders? See, we weren’t bluffing.
Now just air dry your brush and use it wherever needed without any worries.
Now, mix these together and wait 30mins. After the mentioned time, you’ll have brushes that look as new as when you bought them.
If not, just repeat the process until all the paint is gone.
If the previous methods couldn’t fulfill your purpose and kept you wondering how to clean enamel paint?
Well, the procedure is quite simple. Just take a glass jar and fill it halfway with the paint thinner. Put your brush on it and wait for 15mins. Then shake the brush to let all the remaining paint dissolve in water.
Take it out and put it on a sheet to dry. See, the brush is ready to be used.
Question: How to clean enamel paint from the brush handle?
Answer: To clean the paint off the brush handle you’ll need to use paint thinner. Just soak the brush handle on the paint thinner and wait 15 minutes. The paint will come off by then.
Question: How to protect my hands while using a paint thinner?
Answer: Well, to protect your hands from the thinner, make sure to use gloves. Even after putting the brush out do not let any dripping thinner touch you.
That’s all from us. Hope you have a clear idea of how to clean enamel paint from your paintbrushes.
It’s time to put that knowledge to work. We would love to hear which method worked for you. Do leave a comment.

outcomes difficult. While a continued subject of debate,12–19 the concerns regarding potential adverse events led to the voluntary withdrawal and discontinuation of aprotinin in November 2007, with the exception of its availability for compassionate use. As a result, tranexamic acid and epsilon aminocaproic acid, which are generically termed lysine analogues, have now become the most common pharmacological treatment option for antifibrinolytic therapy after cardiac surgery, particularly in patients requiring CPB.3,11–19 Unlike aprotinin, lysine analogues have not been approved as a pharmacological approach to address post–cardiac surgery–related bleeding. Furthermore, it remains unknown whether and to what degree adverse events and blood product utilization have been significantly affected with the exclusive use of these lysine analogues when compared to the “aprotinin era” when potential confounding variables are taken into consideration. The present study tested the central hypothesis that following adjustment for preoperative covariates and/or through propensity scoring, improved blood product utilization and early postoperative outcomes have not been realized in this post-aprotinin era.
Methods
The overall objective of this study was to perform a retrospective, single-center analysis with respect to early postoperative outcomes and blood product utilization in the aprotinin era (November 2005 to October 2007), in which there was uniformity in the aprotinin dosing protocol at this single center, to the post-aprotinin era (November 2007 to October 2008), in which only lysine analogues, using consistent dosing protocols, were utilized. Moreover, the present study addressed potential confounding factors such as preoperative medication profiles, patient status, and intraoperative variables—all of which have been shown previously to independently influence early postoperative outcomes, particularly in the context of evaluating the effects of antifibrinolytics.5,10,12–19
Patients
A retrospective chart review of all patients undergoing cardiac surgery was conducted from October 2005 to October 2008 at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). All patients older than 21 years of age who underwent the following cardiac surgical procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were included in the construction of the database: coronary revascularization with or without concomitant valve replacement/repair, isolated valve replacement/repair, and heart transplantation. Less frequent procedures that required CPB, such as congenital heart surgery and left ventricular assist devices, were not included in this analysis. This data collection process and analysis was reviewed and approved by the MUSC Institutional Review Board (HR 18816). Standardized doses of the antifibrinolytics were used: Aprotinin (Trasylol, Bayer, Westhaven, CT), 2 million KIU loading dose followed by 0.5 million KIU/h infusion during CPB; Tranexamic acid (Cyklokapron, Pfizer, NY, NY), 15 to 30 mg/kg loading dose followed by 4 to 16 mg/kg per hour infusion during CPB; Epsilon aminocaproic acid (Amicar, Hospira, Lake Forest, IL), 150 mg/kg loading dose followed by 25 mg/kg per hour infusion during CPB. Five cardiothoracic surgeons participated in these cases and remained constant throughout the data collection interval.
Sources of Data Collection
The master list for all patients that could be included in this retrospective study was first identified by use of the computerized database that exists within the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, MUSC, which is maintained following the Society of Thoracic Surgeons format. For the purposes of capturing blood product utilization, a merged dataset was obtained by using the MUSC electronic pharmacy records system (Emeds). Following this merging, the database was stripped of all patient identification and combined to form the master database. We have utilized this approach previously to examine the effects of statin pretreatment in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.20
During the study interval, standardized set points had been established in terms of administration of packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and cryoprecipitate in the perioperative period. First, clinically significant bleeding was defined as >300 mL of chest tube output within 1 hour, or >400 mL of chest tube output in any 2-hour interval, or >100 mL per hour of output on 2 occasions after the first 2 hours. Second, if the threshold for clinically significant bleeding was met, then a prespecified age-dependent set-point for hematocrit was used to determine packed red blood cell administration (≈<70 years old, then a hematocrit of <23%; >70 years old, then a hematocrit of <27%). Third, if the platelet count was <75 000 or there was recent history of platelet antagonist therapy or an elevated prothrombin time, then platelet transfusion would be considered. Fourth, if the above criteria were met and the fibrinogen levels were <150 mg/dL, then transfusion of fresh frozen plasma would be considered. The clinical decision for utilization of recombinant factor VIIa (rFVlla; NovoSeven, Novo Nordisk, Princeton, NJ) was based on encountering significant, nonsurgical intraoperative bleeding or postoperative bleeding refractory to conventional treatments.
Variables Measured
Demographic variables included: patient age, sex, body surface area, and smoking status. Comorbidities considered included diabetes, hypertension, coagulation disorders, reoperation, chronic renal/liver disease, and preoperative medication profiles (including aspirin). The composite risk score, EuroSCORE, was computed for each patient.21 The preoperative medication profiles were carefully scrutinized for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors because it has been shown previously to be a significant covariate when considering postoperative renal function in the context of antifibrinolytic therapy.15 Operative variables included procedure type, cardiopulmonary bypass time, cross-clamp time, total operative time, intubation time, and length of hospital stay. Blood product utilization was broken out by units of packed red blood cells, units of fresh frozen plasma, units of platelets, cryoprecipitate, and rFVlla administration. Blood product utilization was dichotomized into blood products utilized in the first 24 hours and those utilized more than 24 hours after the initial procedure and until discharge. The exception to this was rFVlla, in which the number of patients receiving rFVlla over the entire admission-discharge period was recorded. Postoperative outcome variables included major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, repeat surgery for hemorrhage or cardiac tamponade, renal failure defined as >2.0 mg/dL increase in creatinine and/or the need for dialysis treatment, and respiratory failure defined as ventilatory support for more than 48 hours.
Statistical Analysis
In this analysis, 325 patients were included in the aprotinin group; for the lysine analogues, 250 patients received aminocaproic acid and 206 patients received tranexamic acid. For the purposes of this study, and to provide a robust means for adjusting for potential confounding variables, the lysine analogues were combined and simply identified as the lysine analog group (n=456 combined). Baseline demographic variables for patients assigned to the aprotinin versus lysine analog groups were compared using χ2 tests for categorical variables. Nonparametric Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the groups on continuous variables.
A stepwise approach for analyzing the blood product and other postoperative outcomes was utilized. First, an unadjusted analysis with group as the only predictor was performed. Second, a covariate-adjusted analysis in which group and the covariates found to be significant confounding variables of group was performed. Third, a propensity-matched, covariate-adjusted analysis was performed.22 The reason that both covariate-adjusted and propensity-matched analyses were considered was to be able to use all of the data (ie, in the covariate-adjusted analysis) as well as to analyze a selected subset of aprotinin and lysine analog subjects who were able to be very closely matched on underlying confounders (ie, in the propensity-matched analysis). To determine important covariates for predicting group, all variables meeting α=0.15 in univariate analysis were included in a logistic regression model with aprotinin or lysine analog group as the outcome, and insignificant predictors were removed using a backwards elimination algorithm setting of α=0.05. Propensity scores were then generated from the logistic regression model, and aprotinin and lysine analog subjects were matched 1:1, using a greedy matching algorithm that matches the nearest available pair with a specified maximum caliper of 0.123 A total of 434 subjects were able to be matched through the use of this algorithm.
For unmatched analyses, the association between aprotinin and number of units of intraoperative or postoperative blood product utilized was assessed using Poisson regression, with the number of blood products as the outcome and group as the exposure of interest. Matched analyses of blood product utilization were performed using a generalized estimating equations (GEE)-based Poisson regression approach to account for the correlation induced by matching.24 The resulting parameter estimates are interpreted as the “relative risk of one additional unit of blood product usage in aprotinin versus lysine analog group.” All Poisson regression results are presented in terms of a relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
For all unmatched analyses, binary postoperative outcomes were analyzed using logistic regression models with a binary indicator of the event as the outcome and aprotinin as the exposure of interest. Matched analyses of binary outcomes were performed using a GEE-based logistic regression approach to account for the correlation induced by matching. For rare outcomes (which included all binary outcomes except for prolonged ventilator usage), odds ratios can be interpreted as approximate relative risks. Therefore, results are presented as relative risks and 95% CIs.
Finally, length of stay outcomes were considered as time to event data. Correspondingly, these were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models for unmatched data, and the Wei, Lin, and Weissfeld pseudolikelihood approach for matched data.25 This approach is similar to GEE estimation and uses a robust sandwich estimate of the covariance matrix. Results are presented as hazard ratios (HR, which |

This page demonstrates how to set the table background color within your web pages and other HTML documents. You can use the same colors presented here, or use any background color you like, as long as the color is specified in a way that is recognized by HTML.
In HTML, table background color is defined using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Specifically, you use the
background-color property to define background color. You can apply this property against the whole table, a row, or a single cell.
Below are some examples of applying background color to a table in HTML.
Background Color for Whole Table
Background Color for Table Row
Here, we add a different background color to the first row, which happens to be the table header row. Therefore, we have one background color for the table, and a different background color for the table header row. Note that we also change the text color for the table header - this makes it easier to read.
Background Color for Table Cell
You can also change the background color of an individual table cell. To do this, simply apply the styles against the
<td> tag of the table cell in question.
Using CSS Classes
It's good practice to keep your CSS separate from the table when setting its styles. For example, you can define all your styles at the top of your HTML document or even in a separate CSS file. When you do this, you can create a "class" that holds all the styles for your table (or any other element). Then, to use these styles, you simply add
class="{class name}" where {class name} is the name of your class.
Here's an example of using an embedded style sheet to define the background color of your HTML tables. Note that the styles are set in between the
<style></style> tags.
Here's another example, but this one's using a different set of styles, including a different background color for the table and the table header.
You'll notice that we've also modified the bottom border of each table cell and changed the font family within each table cell (but not the table headers).<|endoftext|>When searching for the perfect type of color for glassware to accommodate an event or even for everyday use, pink glassware will often fulfill ones decorating needs. Pink is such a great color to choose for glassware for most occasions because it's a flirty, simple and light color. There are several clever uses for glassware that's pink.

I'm a huge fan of carrot cake! So I was super excited to share it with the fam this Easter. But, with everything going on right now, we've decided to postpone our family extravaganza to the summer. Just to be safe.
But that didn't stop my cravings for this classic Easter treat! So I made it anyway, and my mother-in-law and I spent a luxurious week eating it together! 😛
So if you're bummed you'll miss out on your favourite Easter treats, my advice is to make them anyway! But maybe not all at once… your tummy will thank you!
Keep it FODMAP friendly
This recipe has a ton of ingredients, but there are only a few things you need to know about. Check out the notes below for tips on keeping this recipe FODMAP friendly.
First, if you're in the elimination phase of the program, you'll need to use gluten-free flour. Heads up, not all gluten-free flours are low FODMAP, so you'll still need to check the label for other high FODMAP ingredients like amaranth flour, almond flour, coconut flour, etc.
For my Canadian peeps, I'm obsessed with PC's gluten-free flour. I like it because it's used cup for cup and so far all of my baking projects have come out nice and fluffy!
Remember, unless you have celiac disease, you're avoiding the FODMAP fructan in wheat, not gluten itself.
We'll also be using walnuts. According to Monash University, walnuts are low FODMAP in servings of 10 nut halves (30 g) per sitting. Servings of 35 nut halves (135 g) or more are high in the FODMAP fructan.
Our recipe calls for 1 cup of walnuts, which works out to 12.5 g per serving. This is well within Monash's recommended range.
Side note: Use walnut halves to measure and then crush them with a rolling pin to make sure you have the right measurement. If you only have crushed walnuts on hand, you'll need to weigh them to make sure you have 125 g total, or you may end up with too many.
Next up, cream cheese. If you're in the elimination phase, you'll need to use lactose-free cream cheese. This won't add anything to your FODMAP load.
Last but not least, lemon juice. According to the Monash app, lemon juice is low FODMAP in servings of 1/2 a cup (125 g) per sitting. Servings of 3/4 of a cup (187 g) or more are high in the FODMAP fructan.
We're only using 1 tbsp for this recipe. So this won't add anything notable to your FODMAP load.

Description
Looking for a spring-inspired sweet treat? This low FODMAP carrot cake will knock your socks off!
Ingredients
(carrot cake)
- 1 + 1/2 cups light brown sugar
- 3/4 cups vegetable oil
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 orange, zested
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups low FODMAP all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 lg carrots, peeled and grated
- 1 cup walnuts, crushed
(lemon frosting)
- 8 oz lactose-free cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 cups icing sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
(carrot cake)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray two 9″ cake pans with cooking spray.
- Cream the sugar and oil together with an electric mixer on medium speed. Then add the cinnamon, nugmeg, salt, vanilla and orange zest and mix again to combine.
- Mix in your eggs, one at a time, followed by the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and carrots. Mix together with a wooden spoon until there are no more pockets of flour. Then add the walnuts and give it a gentle stir (don't overmix your batter!).
- Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and smooth out the tops with the back of your spoon or by tapping the trays gently on your counter. Bake your cakes for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
(lemon frosting)
- Combine the cream cheese and butter together with your electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the icing sugar and mix on low until it has been fully incorporated into the frosting.
- Add the lemon juice and vanilla and beat until the mixture looks like frosting.
- Place one of the cakes on a cake stand or serving plate and cover with 1/2 the frosting. Spread the icing out to the edge and place the second cake on top and cover the top with the remaining icing. (Heads up -This is a naked cake, so we're leaving the sides… neked)!

ely golden, juicy and fragrant. Pilaf from a box and green salad from a bag complete the Sunday supper. It looks impressive but takes little effort. The one pan bake even cleans up easily if you cover the pan in foil.
If you shred the chicken before putting away the leftovers you are ready to go for the next night’s enchiladas. Except for the dried up sprigs of rosemary all the roasted vegis can get chopped and put into the enchiladas as well. The carmelization of the ingredients deepens the flavor of the ensuing dish the next night.
If your family balks at the same protein two nights in a row, the enchiladas can be baked, cooled and held over until the next night. Like most dishes with flavorful sauces, it improves as it sits and melds together. Or wrap tighly in foil and freeze for another evening when you’ll be glad to have something ready to pull out and bake.
Multiple meal cookbooks abound including those that create a month’s worth of menus. I don’t want to spend a whole day in the kitchen prepping and I lack the extra room in my freezer for dozens of containers. However, a premade dinner or two, stashed in the freezer, gives me the option to go out and walk the dog or ride my bike rather than cook. These physical activities also give me permission to indulge in the Haagan Daz ice cream and Klondike bars that take up that extra room in our freezer.
After 20 plus years in the same occupation, I took a leap of faith and resigned my position. Scary as the initial jump was, I spent the ensuing year traveling, taking classes and exploring new pursuits. The problem with long term employment is boredom. It becomes rote, easy and ho-hum. If necessity is the mother of invention, then repetition must be the father of change. To stay fresh, grow and expand one must reinvent periodically.
Still gleefully unemployed a year later I was approached to help a similar organization as a bandaid to a fix they were in. Though I tactfully tried to bow out, I ended up signing on to help for just a few months. The time couldn’t pass quickly enough and I knew to my core that I had to stop resting on my laurels and launch this time. I was ready to transform.
New careers demand stretching,sharpening of skills and forming new networks. The upside is creativity, personal growth and new relationships. The past year has brought some folks across my path that are diverse but share common affinities for food, cooking and celebration.
One such couple owns and operates a stellar senior living facility in Santa Barbara, California. Their entire mission is a tribute to their shared heritage, hence the name Hertitage House. From their website’s cool and retro sepia pix of residents and staff to the heartwarming stories, I fell hard for this venture. No surprise that they even post recipes from their resident’s favorite menus. The legacy of shared recipes is a true gift.
One of these recipes is for Heritage House Honey Drops. Just one little bite connects me not only to their past, but forges a new future of learning about the work they do, the quality they strive for and the difference they are making. All of this reinforces why we seek new careers, new adventures and always new recipes.
The bright, unseasonably warm weekend made me yearn for tri-tip on the grill and an equally sunny side dish. Tired of the same-ole-same-ole baked potato and inspired by the bowl of Meyer lemons rescued from the last freeze, I lightened up a favorite pasta with bright citrus zest.
We all love fettucine Alfredo but abhor the calorie laden after-effects. I decided to switch out some of the cream for chicken broth and the other portion for half and half to make the dish more reasonable on the new year quasi-diet. Parmesan added a little cheesy zest without overdoing the fat and leeks mellowed the flavors of the garlic in the sauce. The grand finale was fresh lemon zest sprinkled in at the end making it as bright as the fleeting afternoon sun.
I chose bowtie pasta to look like lemony butterflies on the plate and make an interesting side for the kiddos. It was a lovely accompaniment to the juicy steak and spicy broccoli rabe. The only decision was whether to open a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc to compliment the cheesy pasta or a big bold red to power up the meat. In the end a nice Shiraz from New Zealand covered all bases.
As we polished off the wine on the patio a little breeze came in from the north reminding me that the brief interlude of warm weather was about to end. The forecast was rain, rain and more rain for the next few days. Plenty of time to make soup with the leftover meat and not worry about what kind of wine to open. With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner Guinness and stew will be easy to figure out.
My favorite Saturday is the one without plans. No organized events scheduled, no rushing off to an appointment and no tasks needing to be performed, just a lazy, laid back morning devoid of busyness and activity. On those rare weekends I look forward to lingering over a cup of coffee in my pajamas and reading the newspaper at my leisure. The perfect breakfast for this kind of morning is the one made the night before.
Strata is the ticket. Basically an egg and bread pudding that soaks overnight and can just be popped into the oven to bake while lounging around. More savory than the French toast version, it satisfies my man clan. My basic strata recipe has an almost fondue style taste which is delicious as is or lends well to the addition of other proteins or vegetables.
There are as many takes on this dish as there are cultures who make it. A slight change of spices can alter the theme and open up endless possibilities. The benefit of this version is the reduction of milk products in exchange for wine and broth, making the flavor more robust and the calorie load lighter.
I recommend finding or making room for a Saturday you can stay home and enjoy this one-dish wonder. It is easy to prepare, bakes up fast and requires little clean up, leaving more time to dawdle, piddle or dink around.
After the fabulous and varied holiday food fest, January menu planning just seems blah. Add to that the chill in the air and the bleak landscape, and I just don’t feel inspired to cook with my usual energy. Scanning the new year cooking magazines it’s all about juice fasts and cleanses. Again not much to get excited about. Where is a foodie to turn?
What I love about the South is the no-holds-barred, no excuses approach to indulgence in everything from Bourbon to pork fat. Southerners live it up year round. That’s probably why I subscribe to their magazines (and lifestyle) even though I don’t live anywhere near them or even visit often. The January cover of Southern Living Magazine sports Maple Pecan Sticky Buns with a byline, “half the calories and crazy good”. There you go, justification instead of guilt.
Tempting as that was, I confess that I reverted back one issue to find a chicken salad made with pepper jelly and pecans. A little kickin’ in the chicken with yummy regional pecans for crunch. Flavors from both north and south of the border married, perfectly to liven up a salad one day and a pita pocket the next. Sweet and heat in just the right measure, a true winter pick-me-up.
The best thing about breaking open a jar of pepper jelly in the dead of winter is that you have at least half a jar to make into something else. You can always take the simple route and spread a healthy layer over goat cheese as an appetizer or pour it over meat as a no-fail glaze. My final ode to the south is to slather the jelly on top of a grilled cheeseburger as a sweet nod to the regional pimento spread Southerners love so dearly. A fat and happy finish to a jar of peppery bliss.
A new year brings resolutions to try new things, fix old things and get healthy. In that vein, I cracked open my latest, greatest, hot-off-the-press Christmas present cookbook, persuaded my hubby to paint the baseboards and signed up for a fifty-mile bike ride. An admirable start for mid-January.
Dana-Lou-Sous-Chef gifted me with the season pick Dahlia Bakery Cookbook. Determined to learn why Giada DeLaurentis called Tom Douglas’s doughnuts, “the best thing she ever ate”, I pounced on the opportunity to try this famous treat over the holidays. By the end of the two day process I was underwhelmed but undeterred. My on the agenda was to make berry muffins that were equal to the effort. Note to self, start with the simpler fare, not the famous fuss.
On another note, home renovations that involve bright, white paint make everything else not only dull by comparison, but look dingy looking as well, spurring you into a total room makeover. My advice is to start in a small room like a bathroom to preserve your budget, sanity and marriage, thereby leaving time to actually perform resolution number three….getting healthy.
No fan of exercise, I’m on a lifelong quest to find a recreational activity that yields both healthy and pleasurable results. I have found that events where food |

This paper explores the relationship between monoenergetic and mixed-field Single Event Latchup (SEL) cross sections, concluding that for components with a very strong energy dependence and highly-energetic environments, test results from monoenergetic or soft mixed-field spectra can significantly underestimate the operational failure rate. We introduce a semi-empirical approach that can be used to evaluate the SEL rate for such environments based on monoenergetic measurements and information or assumptions on the respective sensitive volume and materials surrounding it. We show that the presence of high-Z materials such as tungsten is particularly important in determining the hadron cross section energy dependence for components with relatively large LET thresholds.<|endoftext|>It’s not all glitz and glamour for women in the entertainment industry: they also have more than their fair share of sexism and double standards to deal with. And one actress has used social media to highlight the everyday sexism in the industry.
Miss L also sheds light on how a woman is often required for a movie for her body only.
Just reading those two casting calls is probably enough to make you hurl, but they are only the tip of the iceberg. While it may be hard to believe that things like this actually exist, Miss L, who told Daily Mail’s FEMAIL that she has been acting professionally for 10 years, revealed that what she posts is very real.
Miss L reveals the extreme differences between casting calls for men and women, with posts that depict women as sex objects.
Casting: 'He is a robot programmed to kill. Of course.
Ageism is also a huge issue, with actresses between the ages of 23 and 30 called to audition for the role of a woman who is “past her prime” and “one middle-aged woman to play a carer. Aged 25- 40.” Um, hello… it’s no longer the 17th century!
Unsurprisingly, people have reacted to these casting calls with shock and horror as they realize that the industry is not even trying to hide their misogyny.
But it could be always be worse, right? Oh, wait.
@ProResting It could be worse. It could be – no actually you're right, it couldn't.
Once again, it’s a reminder of the treatment women face in our society and the slow pace of change they must endure. But Miss L does have some advice for female actors.

“I think that it’s really — it’s just a cliché, the pitting women against each other, the [assumption] that women instinctively are competitive with one another,” Messing, 51, told Us Weekly exclusively while promoting her new Dear Media podcast, “The Dissenters” with Mandana Dayani. “I think it’s a trope.
The former Smash star recently wrapped the final season of Will & Grace, in which costar Megan Mullally was noticeably absent from multiple episodes following her rumored ongoing feud with Messing. Rumors began when fans noticed that Mullally, 61, was not following Messing on Instagram.
Following the April finale, creators Max Mutchnick shed light on the rumored tension on set.
Messing, for her part, is now focused on the podcast, in which she’s teaming up with the activist, 38, to highlight 20 heroes who have inspired them.

<|endoftext|>Working the Mississippi: Two Centuries of Life on the River by Bonnie Stepenoff (review)
author claims, is the source of some of Howard’s unusual plans for houses, like the famous Woodlawn Plantation and its nearly identical neighbor, Madewood Plantation, in Assumption Parish and the very unusual Belle Grove Plantation in Iberville Parish. Whatever his inspirations, Howard was an innovative and meticulous architect. The author draws from a large number of primary sources, most especially from the papers of Howard, but also from court records, census records, and various family archives. The book is exceptionally well illustrated with historic photographs from various archives, especially commissioned color photographs, plans from the Historic American Buildings Survey, and the carefully drawn and watercolored cadastral plans of the New Orleans Notarial Archives. The illustrated catalog at the end of the book shows just how prolific Howard was. The book is a feast for the eyes. Unfortunately, none of these images are numbered either in the text or in the captions. Anyone browsing through the book who is particularly taken by an image will be obliged to read carefully through the text of the pages before or after the image in an attempt to find more information. The research is sound, but social and cultural historians might be disappointed by the lack of analysis and interpretation of Howard’s unusual plans for these slaveholding households. Brantley’s goal, however, was not to write a cultural history. He sought to recover the work and reputation of a remarkable architect whose legacy is part of New Orleans’s unique heritage. Brantley has accomplished this goal admirably.<|endoftext|>Chapter 8 . 7 A Novel Secure Video Surveillance System Over Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
The integration of wireless communication and embedded video systems is a demanding and interesting topic which has attracted significant research efforts from the community of telecommunication. This chapter discusses the challenging issues in wireless video surveillance and presents the detailed design for a novel highly-secure video surveillance system over ad hoc wireless networks. To this end, we explore the state-of-the-art cross domains of wireless communication, video processing, embedded systems, and security. Moreover, a new media-dependent video encryption scheme, including a reliable data embedding technique and real-time video encryption algorithm, is proposed and implemented to enable the system to work properly and efficiently in an open and insecure wireless environment. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the advantages of the new systems, including high security guarantee and robustness. The chapter would serve as a good reference for solving the challenging issues in wireless multimedia and bring new insights on the interaction of different technologies within the cross application domain.<|endoftext|>Fashion model, Portia Gana, has condemned the practice in the Ghanaian modelling industry where some models are offered modelling jobs in exchange for sexual favours.
The plus size model who talked about some of the shortfalls in the Ghanaian modelling industry in an interview with Showbiz said although the industry was in its development stages, there were still a lot that needed change.
“I have had some wasted-time meetings where people contact me with the impression of getting me gigs only for them to start talking about taking me out for dinner and other things.
“However, my policy is very simple and straightforward in situations such as these. If we are not discussing business and gigs, then I don’t want to interact with you,” she said.
The curvy model added that in the bid of these unscrupulous men to entice her to go along with their bidding, they tell her a fair number of the established models have done similar things in order to get ahead in their careers.
“Some of these men tell me they have pictures and videos of the models to prove what they are saying. They tell me that it is the only way to succeed as a woman in the industry.
“However, what I take away from this is that if they have videos and pictures of some of these ladies then they would do same to me,” she said.
Portia, who was born in Ghana but left for Canada at an early age, said she got into the modelling profession entirely by accident.
“I came to Ghana during the Christmas holidays in 2011 and a friend took some pictures for my Facebook profile and he thought they were so good he used them to generate traffic on his site.
“Then when I came back to Canada, an American magazine pushed me to use the pictures to enter a model contest where I finished top five out of about 30 contestants even though my pictures were not professional like the others.
“This peaked my interest but until then, I was more of a behind – the – scenes person but that made |

Attention-grabbing looks and a range of new technology come together in the latest iteration of the Audi S3 models.
It becomes immediately apparent as soon as you lay your eyes on the new Audi S3 Sedan and Sportback that these two have spent significant time in the gym. The new styling has taken the already sharper and more curvaceous A3 Sportback or A3 Sedan and put them on a high protein diet and strict regimen of heavy weights and low reps.
The result is arresting styling that is more muscular and athletic from every angle, from the vastly more aggressive front end – complete with distinctive headlight treatment and strong angular Singleframe treatment – to the sculpted rear.
Perhaps most dramatic is the treatment along the flanks, where the strong inward curve along the bottom of the doors accentuates the wheel arches more than ever, giving that ‘coiled ready to spring’ look to the rear quarters.
Both the S3 Sedan and Sportback are larger than their predecessors, the Sportback having frown three centimetres in length and the Sedan four centimetres. Both are three centimetres wider than before and this translates to more shoulder and elbow room inside each model as well as giving there AS3 Sportback 325 litres of luggage space (1145 litres with the rear seats folded down) and a significant 370 litres for the Sedan.
There are of course the familiar ’S’ design elements, from the aluminium-look wing mirrors (pictured here with the exterior black treatment) and classic S quad exhausts, but these new S3 models represents a significant step up in terms of power and appointment over their predecessors.
Exact specification for Australia will not be announced until closer to local launch here in the second half of next year, but both will be powered by a 2.0 TFSI producing 228kW of power and 400Nm of torque. That’s up 15kW and 20Nm on the previous model, and, mated to a seven-speed S tronic transmission with power down to all four wheels via quattro, equates to the standard 0 to 100km/h sprint of 4.8 seconds with a limited top speed of 250km/h. Serious performance.
Clever technology abounds in then new S3 models, like the Audi valvelift system (AVS) which which varies the lift of the intake valves depending on engine load for greater efficiency. The driver can also ‘dial up’ the sound of the engine via the Audi Drive select, with actuators in the exhaust amplifying the performance engine note.
Ride and handling too have been revised in the new S3 which sits 15mm lower than the A3 on tuned sports suspension. Customers will be able to opt for the even more dynamic S sport suspension with damper control which allows greater control over damping for improved ride and responsiveness in all conditions. Progressive steering is standard equipment and the new modular dynamic handling control closely links the quattro drive to the Electronic Stabilisation Control (ESC) and the dampers of the S sport suspension.
Rolling stock is 18-inch alloy wheels (19-inch are available as an option), while the traditionally red S brake callipers are finished in black on the new models – although traditionalists can opt to go with red.
Inside the sport seats have been newly developed, and their standard series upholstery is largely made from recycled PET bottles, accentuated by stylish contrasting stitching. Cabin inlays are in either aluminium or carbon-fibre and there is the now familiar touchscreen control system that incorporates a 10.1-inch infotainment system and 10.25-inch virtual cockpit. The latter can be optioned up to the Audi virtual cockpit plus which includes three different screen treatments and customers can also opt for the heads-up display to keep eyes on the road.
The ambient lighting package plus allows the interior feel to be changed to suit your mood while voice control can be used to operate internal systems such as the infotainment which includes the Bang & Olufsen premium sound system with 3D sound.
The new S3 models are of course completely connected to their environment, with LTE Advanced speed and integrated Wi-Fi hotspot.
Navigation offers predictions on the development of the traffic situation, high-resolution satellite images from Google Earth, and information about the traffic flow. Individual settings, such as frequently selected destinations or air conditioning preferences, can be stored in up to six user profiles.
The Audi connect online services also include car-to-X services and the S3s feature Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and the Audi phone box – which links the device to the vehicle’s antenna and charges it inductively.
Although Australian pricing and exact vehicle specification will not be announced until closer to local launch next year, expect the safety and drivers assistance systems to likewise be extensive.

The presented telemetry receiver design can be easily implemented independent of the hardware. The performance of the receiver algorithms was shown. The design is scalable and adjustable to different carrier frequencies, modulation indices and types, signal intensities, data rates and data length and different coding. Since the processing modules are realized by software, they can easily be optimized. Matlab/Simulink models allowed predictions of the performance under different conditions and the direct transfer to the final DSP environment.<|endoftext|>The Toy Tank One of the sources of amusement for the local crew has always been “my” tank. Too lightly armored to take a serious beating, and too lightly armed, with a little 37mm gun, to do any harm to late-war German tanks, it got relegated to infantry support and reconnaisance. Interestingly, unlike most “real” tanks, the M5 Light designed to cope with productions shortages uses two standard Cadillac V-8 engines. The one in front of the local VFW is in suprisingly good condition for a vehicle that’s sat out in the open, basically un-maintained, for the last 50 years or so. Sure, the muzzle of the gun and all the hatches and ports are welded shut, and there’s some places where sheet-metal and gratings have rusted away, but other than that, the rest of the vehicle looks decent. It even appears to have its two Cadillac engines still in place.

2019 was a great year for Crime reviews, with quite a big jump from 2018 stats. I wonder how much we grew as a Challenge across the board. In the Crime genre we jumped from 335 reviews to 419, so now I need to check the full stats – hold that thought.
The Challenge has seen some great growth too going from 1933 reviews of 1053 books by 797 authors to 2194 reviews by 1247 authors of 898 books.
The Crime genre has grown from 335 reviews of 144 books by 110 authors to 419 reviews of 180 books by 110 authors and I think that’s a beautiful thing.
Now to unpack that a little. Let’s take a look at the authors who featured the most prominently.
Some of the names that popped up the most prominently were also popular last year so let’s look at the top 10.
The top 10 is rounded out by 2 authors, both with 8 reviews and 1 interview. T.M Clark had 2 different books reviewed and Jennifer Spence had all her reviews for The Lost Girls.
The author with the most books reviewed is Sulari Gentill with an impressive 11 titles, followed closely with Candice Fox and Grace York being featured for 7 different books.
Let’s have a look and see which books featured the most prominently. I was going to go with a top ten, but there are so many that had the same number of reviews that it got tricky so we’re at 13.
Amanda @ Mrs B’s Book Reviews published 38 posts, 34 reviews and 4 interviews.
And I didn’t even make the list with a small 7 reviews. But I do have a couple of Crime novels I read that didn’t make it to review stage so that might have made a difference. Let’s extend a huge thanks to our top reviewers for their support of Australian Women Writer’s. A few of our top 10 are also editors of the AWW Challenge with genres of their own to focus on so well done to them.
I can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store for us, I am already anticipating some great Crime releases.
We would love to hear what you read and loved in 2019…. and what you are looking forward to reading in 2020.
I started as a lover of horror, fantasy and crime but my time reviewing has broadened my horizons enough that I read pretty much anything, when my gorgeous rugrats allow me the opportunity.
Those stats are booming! Awesome to see.
Great wrap up Michelle. I’ve read some of these and it looks like I have a few more to add to my TBR.
I’ve read a couple and I have some more on my TBR pile, I think I need to get to them. Not enough hours.
Great wrap-up, I’m very surprised to see I logged 15! I thought maybe 4 or 5.
haha, definitely that many. My eyes were going weird trying to keep count.
Wow, thanks so much for the mention 🙂 I can’t believe I made the top reviewers list!! I’ve never made an AWW top reviewers list before so I’m over the moon.
Me too, Sheree. Such great books coming out all the time, who can keep up.
Great wrap up Michelle! Can’t believe I read 40 crime novels, but the breadth of the books you have displayed there show what a great year it was for quality AWW mystery and crime writing. We are so lucky to have so many great crime writers in this country!

<|endoftext|>A series of supported Cu–Mn based catalysts have been synthesized using three different supports mesoporous Al2O3, mesoporous TiO2 and mesoporous ZrO2. Cu–Mn precursors were incorporated on mesoporous supports using wet impregnation method. These catalyst supports were prepared by templating method using a natural biopolymer namely, chitosan. The catalytic activity for benzene and acetaldehyde combustion was studied for these catalysts. The synthesized catalysts have been characterized by XRD, BET-SA, O2-TPD and H2-TPR in a view of material characterization, as well as to investigate the mechanistic aspects of catalytic reactions. The bimetallic supported catalysts follow the activity sequence—Cu–Mn/TiO2 > Cu–Mn/ZrO2 > Cu–Mn/Al2O3 for both the reactions studied. These results interestingly show, that the catalytic activity is dependent on the support used, however, quite independent of the surface area of these supports. The better activity of TiO2 and ZrO2 based catalysts is likely due to their redox properties. The existence of low temperature peaks in both O2-TPD and H2-TPR explain better redox properties as well as catalytic performance of TiO2 and ZrO2 supported catalysts as compared to those Al2O3 supported mixed oxides.

I certainly know what I want and why I decide to do things. That's how I love and care for a special person in my life. I describe myself as a thoughtful, honest, smiling, loving, and humble person. I can deal with the downs in life, and I am thankful that I have this open heart and mind to encourage and keep myself strong despite the hardships sometimes I encounter in my life.
Comments: Characteristics of two people are very important in a relationship because it matters how a couple would be able to manage both negative sides and appreciate the good sides. I still believe that the physical aspect may affect, but the most important thing in a relationship to grow, is the willingness of the two hearts to offer for each other and this is what I am looking for in a man. Someone who is willing to offer his whole heart to a woman like me.

Lehman won the first two sets, 25-16, and 25-16, before CSI rallied to score a 25-17 win in the third set. Despite several leads, CSI fell in the final set, 25-20. Lehman will move on to the semifinal round, while the Dolphins’ season will finalize with an 8-17 record.
The opening set was a struggle between the two teams to get a stranglehold on the game. After Lehman registered early, CSI responded with a 5-1 run to grab a 10-8 lead, highlighted by a Vanessa Reyes kill and service ace. Lehman, however, would storm ahead thanks to a 7-2 response, thanks to two Jo-Marie Aquino kills.
From there Lehman cruised to a 25-16 win in the opener. Again, CSI was crisp early, this time taking a 4-1 lead in the second set, finished with a Selma Kolenovic ace, but in a recurring theme, Lehman had a worthy response thanks to a 7-1 run, this time highlighted by two Aquino kills and three service aces. CSI worked their way back to force a 9-9 tie, but then again, a 6-0 Lehman run took the wind out of the Dolphins’ sails, and Lehman rode another strong set to take a 2-0 set lead.
In the third set, CSI got the early momentum again, only this time they did not let up. Later, Lehman cut the lead to 15-13, but CSI snapped back by scoring a 10-4 run to close the frame from there and win, 25- |

Litigation means a trial, proper? All they have to do is produce the facility of attorney kind you ready and signal or act as in the event you have been there yourself. You’ll want to include questions which can be each narrowly directed to the time of the collision, in addition to questions which are broader, so that the defense will not say that they do not have data which are precisely that exact.
Within the prison law context there are examples of people that have confessed to murdering individuals (it isn’t the fee of a future crime so it’s confidential) to their attorney, another individual is tried and convicted of the murder, and the attorney never advised anyone in regards to the confession (it obviously later got here out, but not in any means that affected the consumer).
In each area of regulation, any attorney who wishes to be successful should possess sure abilities and character traits which is able to allow her or him to differentiate themselves from the remainder of the pack of attorneys. In case you are working with a Personal Household Lawyer, you may have the peace of thoughts of knowing that if anything occurs to your lawyer (or if you move to a different State), your planning will transition easily to any one of the other legal professionals in the Private Family Lawyer community and not using a have to pay new planning charges.
One of the duties of a paralegal is organizing client recordsdata. If you file a criticism of lawyer misconduct, the lawyer is investigated-normally by the disciplinary board of the state bar or the state supreme courtroom. Folks are likely to overlook that divorce and household regulation issues, unlike other authorized matters, usually involve a male-female dispute.
The medical doctors concerned will supply supportive statements on any useful limitations if any and the lawyer will determine what to do with any bad evidence that could end up hurting the case and also determine what medical records are most relevant to submit.
Distinction this to a general energy of attorney for monetary issues. Other legal professionals deal with solely public-interest circumstances-civil or felony-which can have an impact extending nicely past the person consumer.

Building on the standard firm dynamics setup of Hopenhayn (1992), we develop a quantitative theory of aggregate fluctuations arising from idiosyncratic shocks to firm level productivity. This allows us to generalize the theoretical results in Gabaix (2011) to account for persistent micro-level shocks, optimal size decisions as well as endogenous firm entry and exit. We then use our model to provide a quantitative evaluation of Gabaix's "granular hypothesis" and find that it yields aggregate fluctuations of the same order of magnitude as a standard representative-firm real business cycle model. A calibration of our model to the US economy with a large number of firms leads to sizable aggregate fluctuations: the standard deviation of aggregate TFP (respectively output) is 0.8% (respectively 1.7%). We use this calibration to explore firms' comovement over the business cycle. The model predicts that the differential growth between large and small firms is pro-cyclical as it is in the data.<|endoftext|>Analyzing Context in Health Care Organizations
This chapter reprises and reflects on Pettigrew, Ferlie, and McKee’s Shaping Strategic Change (1992), which analyzed processes of strategic change in the health care sector in England, based on a set of eight comparative and longitudinal case studies of management teams in English District Health Authorities attempting to accomplish large-scale service-level change. Further, it derived a more general and inductive model of receptive and nonreceptive contexts for change. The strengths and the limitations of this text are considered, along with a possible contemporary research agenda.

Avaliação Psicológica, 2017, 16(1), 11-18 ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to establish normative data for the Brazilian elderly population in the Logical Memory (LM) subtest of the Wechsler Memory Scale, revised version (WMS-R) and investigate the ability of scores in this subtest (immediate and delayed recall) to discriminate the elderly with and without depressive symptoms. The sample consisted of 334 elderly participants. Participants answered a sociodemographic and health questionnaire, the MMSE, the GDS-15, and the LM subtest. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Student’s t test, multiple linear regression, univariate analysis, and discriminant analysis. Age, education, and depressive symptoms significantly influenced all the scores of LM. Normative data were available according to three age groups, three levels of education, sex, and presence or absence of depressive symptoms. Results are in agreement with the literature, demonstrating the importance of establishing reference standards in accordance with sociodemographic and cultural characteristics.<|endoftext|>San Francisco's New Deal Murals in Long-Term Perspective
The federal art programs of the New Deal produced public art in quantities not seen before or since. Historians have studied many aspects of the New Deal9s art programs, but few have considered the long-term history of works produced by them. New Deal art programs produced large numbers of public murals—so many that such murals are often thought of as the typical form of New Deal art. They thus provide readily available examples of the long-term experience of New Deal art. San Francisco has a particularly rich collection of these murals. Some of them have been well cared for over the past eight decades, but public officials have proved negligent stewards—and occasionally destructive stewards—of others. Some of San Francisco9s murals were considered so controversial at the time they were created that they were modified or even destroyed. Others became controversial later, with calls for modification or destruction. Some of the latter were covered, some were vandalized, and some have deteriorated. Most of the damaged murals have been restored, sometimes more than once. This article looks at the city9s New Deal murals at Coit Tower, the Mothers Building at the Zoo, the Beach Chalet, the University of California San Francisco, the Alemany Health Center, Treasure Island/City College, and Rincon Annex/Center, with special attention to the George Washington High School murals that have recently been highly controversial. Controversies over the murals at Coit Tower, Rincon Annex, and George Washington High School also reveal significant changes in the role of the city9s political and civic leadership with regard to public art.<|endoftext|>‘Brilliant Lies’ is a drama / comedy written by Australian playwright, David Williamson, some 20 years ago and subsequently released as a film in August 1996. This wonderful production can be seen at the Garrick Theatre in Meadow Street, Guildford nightly at 8.00 pm until Saturday 15th February, with matinees on Sunday 2nd and 9th at 2.00 pm.
Despite the Garrick being one of the smallest theatres in WA, the clever design by George Boyd – who really can think laterally – has a government office on one side, and Katy’s apartment on the other of a rotating stage. There were pullout flats on each side of the stage that gave a most realistic company office and a street scene complete with bus stop. Finally there was an amazing patio scene (photo or another Tim Prosser piece of magic?) with the house doors etc in the background. The rotations and set changes (some 20 in total) were very quick and almost unobtrusive, thanks to SM Maureen Harvie and her assistants, John Lobb and Hilary Lewis.
The curtain rose to Rob Hyner’s piano version of ‘It ain’t necessarily so’ to show an office in the Anti-discrimination Commission.
Back in her sister’s flat, we learn from her sister, Katy (Amanda Watson) – shock horror, a lesbian – that scheming Susie is a liar, and cannot be trusted with money. Then, from her ‘born again Christian’ brother, Paul (Rhett Clarke) we glean that her lifestyle is sluttish. The three siblings reluctantly decide to invite their father, Brian (Gino Cataldo) around for a birthday treat.
Gary, who is a happily married family man, is horrified by Susie’s assertions and so discusses the situation and consequences with his business partner, Vince (John Forde), to see what they can do to save the business and their reputation.
Will the Tribunal discover the truth?
Williamson’s brilliantly constructed plays rely on subtly, as the layers of story are peeled back like an onion. Director, Dale James captured the feel of the play perfectly, interpreted the richly written characters, before leading the talented and experienced cast through the emotions and intricacies of the story.
The lighting (designed by Don Allan) and sound were smoothly operated by Clayton Reichert.
The initial announcement now comes across clearly, however, I am sorry to come back to this point, but the air-con is still the worst in the business. Last night the cooling was full on – at 18C (?) – and the large ceiling fans set at full speed. This caused noise and draughts. The fans were switched off after the interval, but it was still too cold. Eavesdrop on the patrons whilst they are having their interval coffee, you will learn so much about their thoughts on the show and the venue. On a plus, the warmth of the welcome and service at the Garrick is supreme. Are they the only theatre to offer an apple juice as an alternative to the sherry – great idea? After that whinge, I must praise the production. The chemistry of the actors was first class, some powerful |

It seems to be going after old politicions.
viruses are not killed by spring they are spread by people interacting with others . the more you interact the higher your risk..air temp is meaningless .
These WH viruses are more dangerous than the Covid-19.
The Umbrella Corporation already has the vaccine.
Pence was made "Caronavirus" Czar for the same reason that Trump has fired and replaced everyone else–so that he only hears what he wants to hear. It's just Yes men toadie thugs now in government. Very dangerous. Jesus freak Hypocrite Science denier and King of the Flunkies, Pence, is Trump's Virus information sanitizer, along with Limbaugh and FOX news. He is using the Putin model. Control the information. Remember the Soviet Chernobyl Disaster? I expect Pence any day now to say " A viral pandemic is not possible in the United States."
Universal health care is looking more and more like a better idea. Also basic employment rights that guarentee sick leave and a living wage so people are not living paycheck to paycheck would do wonders to contain a pandemic outbreak.
Trump administration is a clown show.
Mike Pence literally does not believe in science. Trump downsized the National Security Council and got rid of the senior director for global health security and biodefense in 2018, and shut down the US Agency for International Development's PREDICT program studying zoonotic viruses. Republicans can tell themselves that the "caronavirus" is fake news all they want, it won't stop them from dying.

All we need is his supporting of China (Communist) and Iran – and all our competition and enemies.

Anderson has never worked as President. What a NUT.
Dummycrats still searching for that “one thing” but still haven’t found it.
I think trump still thinks he’s on The Apprentice. He loves to fire people!
And by the way, it seems like it's pretty under control in our country right now isn't it?
Wolf thinking "what would the trump say ?" , kennedy thinking "what will the trump say ?".
Corona shmorona, why worry about a virus when there's a president that needs placating.
American citizens dead from coronavirus , zero . Political hay being made , as much as possible .
Thank god we have the NHS in Britain.
I love America, we have a virus that is going to kill you, but "THE DOW" America will hate to admit it but we have started doing capitalism wrong and while we are at it we don't have enough medical supplies because they are all manufactured in china that country that is in lock down the one that you all told us is bad and we ought to hate!

and other organs is currently being employed in a wide variety of clinical applications (14, 15). A mandatory consideration is that of the long-term effects of the stimuli as well as the electrodes themselves on the tissues involved. The histological effects and mechanisms of tissue damage following chronic application of electrical stimuli to brain have been the subject of several investigations in this laboratory (1, 14–18). Factors contributing to neural damage induced by electrical stimulation include noxious products resulting from electrode dissolution. In vitro studies employing electrochemical (3, 9) and scanning electron microscopy (6) techniques have established that erosion of noble metal electrodes occurs, even when passing relatively small stimulation currents. Such electrode dissolution is of particular importance in long term applications of neural prostheses. The present study was initiated to assess the contribution of platinum electrode erosion products to neural damage following electrical stimulation of brain, specifically to distinguish morphological changes resulting directly from electrode solubilization as opposed to electrical factors.

CD11b+Gr1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are an important regulatory innate cell population and have significant inhibitory effect on T cell-mediated responses. In addition to their negative role in cancer development, MDSCs also exert strong regulatory effects on transplantation and autoimmunity. In many transplantation models, such as bone marrow transplant, renal transplant, heart transplant and skin transplant settings, MDSCs accumulate and have inhibitory effect on graft rejection. However, the inducing factors, detailed phenotype and functional molecular mediators of MDSCs are significantly different in various transplant models. With their strong suppressive activity, MDSCs could become a potential clinical therapy during transplantation tolerance induction and the combination of the MDSCs with other immunoregulatory cells or immunosuppressive drugs is an intriguing protocol in the future. In this review, we will summarize MDSC expansion, activation and induction in different transplantation models and discuss the effects of immunoregulatory cells and immunosuppressive drugs on MDSCs in transplant settings.<|endoftext|>The second Insidious film boldly avoids repeating the first film in every way. Unfortunately those differences include quality as well.
The difficulty with most horror sequels is how do you scare the audience a second time when they know what’s coming? Often, this question is skirted by less discerning producers and filmmakers who are frequently dealing with material that’s hardly frightening to begin with. Here’s the gore, here’s the nudity, thanks for the ten bucks. To Insidious: Chapter 2’s credit, it completely ignores that lazily successful business model. Unlike most horror follow-ups, nearly everyone came back for the Insidious sequel. Director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell are back; stars Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne returned; even Lin Shaye’s ghost whisperer has been exhumed, and that’s impressive considering she died in the original’s closing minutes. Yet despite the same creative team as the first film, Insidious: Chapter 2 is boldly dissimilar to that flick in one too many ways: Namely quality. Despite having “Chapter 2” in the title, this sequel kickoffs as more of a prequel. Set in the 1980s, we are reintroduced to Lorraine Lambert and Elise Rainer. Played in the previous film, and for much of this installment, by Barbara Hershey and Lin Shaye, respectively, they have taken on the guise of Jocelin Donahue and Lindsay Seim for this sequence. Quickly, audiences are brought up to speed on the haunting of Lorraine’s son, Josh Lambert. But the real horror is that every time his mother takes his picture, she too can see the woman in black…and in each photograph she is getting closer.
With hypnotism, Elise represses Josh’s ability to astral project and the spectral parasite dissipates…until we jump cut to the present where adult Josh has finally projected into “the Further” (New Age Purgatory) to save his son’s soul from a demon. Unfortunately, that same old lady beat Josh back to his body, just in time to strangle an aged Elise to death in the original film’s final moments and… It turns out not a whole lot of blowback for such a decidedly definitive conclusion. As possessed Josh is easily able to talk his way out of killing Elise to his wife Renai (Rose Byrne) and son Dalton (Ty Simpkins), in spite of the fact that Renai has photographic proof that Josh is possessed, he soon even convinces the police someone else did the strangulations. Indeed, we get a thorough background on whom that someone is. With the help of Ghost Elise, the first film’s comic relief of Specs and Tucker (series writer Whannell and Angus Sampson) slowly, and with much slapstick, discover that the woman in black is a Norman Bates wannabe. Named Parker Crane (Tom Fitzpatrick), he/she was the cross-dressing servant of a mommy dearest with a taste for serial killing. This demystification of what was the first film’s creepiest image is more than a bit disappointing, but so too is the new approach to the horror in the Lambert house. After Renai’s son and Lorraine’s grandson spent three months in a coma directly prior to Insidious: Chapter 2, they gallop swiftly back into forced domestic tranquility, if only for the horror machinations to smoothly churn once more. There is a wonderful understatement in Byrne’s performance that shows her acknowledging something is wrong, but she suppresses it for husband in the immediacy, her family’s stability in the long-term and the plot’s forced expediency for the running time. The old haunted house gags return briefly, but only in service of padding the scares until the film’s ultimate conflict, one between crazed father and family.
Wilson gets to have the most fun as possessed Josh, because while all the others must rediscover how much they fear ghosts, he is already deep into that territory and enjoying it. While the first relied on heavily surrealist imagery from the haunting Further for its scares, complete with a demon and Norman Rockwell paintings from Hell, the sequel feels more comfortably rooted in The Shining territory: Ghost dad has an axe (or in this case a bat) and needs to be put down. The unique visions of Undead limbo are replaced by a comfortable threat, which is the last thing desired in a horror film. However, there is some benefit to this approach. It is quickly discovered that one of the many ghosts still haunting the poor Lamberts is in fact not a ghost at all, but father Josh trapped in the Further. If Wan and Whannell already displayed a penchant for playing with nonlinear timelines in the Saw films they had a hand in, they really get to run wild in the astral Further where Josh not only travels space, but he also travails his own timeline by returning to the aforementioned prequel sequence, and even some of the more confounding bits of the first film. It is a nifty trick that is aided a great deal by the return of Shaye as a spirited Elise—she alternates between helping Josh and guiding Specs, Tucker, and an old colleague named Carl (Steven |

These emails seemed to confirm what many have suspected all along: that the White House knew quickly the attack had nothing to do with an obscure video, that they knew who had really perpetrated it, and that they were lying to the American people to cover up their incompetence and to protect Obama’s reelection chances.
While I still think that’s largely true, last night Daveed Gartenstein-Ross pointed followers to an article containing an observation by Anthony Zelin that makes the “the White House knew within two hours” narrative much less certain:.
This is an important point: these groups are not shy about claiming credit when they strike at the infidels (that’s us); not only is attacking us an act of religious piety that, in their view, is something to be proud of, but bragging about it also boosts the prestige of their group. Yet they first said nothing, then denied involvement.
The article continues by describing the difficulties of obtaining solid information in a place as chaotic as Libya:.
In other words, with groups as decentralized as al Qaeda and its affiliates, the leadership in one place might take false credit, while that in another might deny it altogether, while a third, wholly unrelated group that happens to have the same name might (or might not) be the real perpetrators. (In fact, there is some indication al Qaeda jihadis from Iraq were part of the attack.) Thus the emails from Tripoli are not necessarily as damning as they may seem.
So, while I’m reasonably certain that this was an organized al Qaeda hit and not just a “flash mob with mortars,” I’m withdrawing my specific contention from yesterday that Obama had to have known within two hours that this was a terrorist hit and who did it — for now, until we get better information.
I am not, however, withdrawing or walking-back or wavering in my belief that the administration knew at some point early on that there was no anti-video demonstration and that this might well have been an al Qaeda attack. The evidence is too strong to believe otherwise (such as from drone surveillance during the fight). It appears much more likely, indeed probable, that they desperately latched onto any rumor that would allow them to claim it was someone else’s fault — an obscure film producer in California, for example. And then they stuck with it and lied to us for weeks afterward.
Forget about exactly when they knew: that they knew at all -and Obama and company had to have known- and continued to blow smoke in our faces in order to avoid responsibility is what we need to remember on Election Day.

By: PaddyPowerTrader
US Fed Chairman Bernanke’s semi annual testimony on the Hill proved to be the game changer for stocks yesterday. Just as they had bounced Tuesday on whispers that he may offer fresh new policy measures, accommodation to support the markets, re-stimulate the flagging economy so stocks sold off Wednesday when he failed to deliver such. His comments were basically a rehash of the FOMC minutes (i.e. a fairly dour assessment of the economy) with one added Greenspan like euphemism for our lexicon i.e. that the outlook for the economy is “unusually uncertain”.
After three years of uncertainty, that’s quite a statement for the chairman of the FOMC to make. The 1.3% fall in the SP 500 comes despite that of the 30 SP 500 firms that reported yesterday 90% beat Street EPS forecast with two thirds also ahead of consensus on revenues. Earnings fatigue anyone?
Today European equities have bucked the trend of falling prices in both Asia and North America, marking gains in excess of 1.5% during the session. A series of European data releases has indicated that the regional economy has been resilient to the recent sovereign debt crisis with advanced manufacturing and service PMI data both stronger than expected. Euro area industrial orders also grew at a brisk pace.
Today’s Market Moving Stories
•The much anticipated European banking stress tests results release time may be brought forward European Union regulators are considering releasing the results of bank stress tests tomorrow at 07:00 BST rather than at 17:00 BST as originally planned, newswires report. This is to prevent the release of information when the US market is open while European markets are closed and unable to react to any information. However, there is no official confirmation of any change in plan yet. A confidential draft template from the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS) showed that, as part of the adverse scenario of ’sovereign shock’, banks are required to publish a list of each lender’s gross and net exposure to central and local governments in 30 countries in Europe, including Greece, Spain, Ireland, Italy and Portugal. They are also asked to provide details of whether they booked their sovereign debt holdings in the banking or trading book.
•BOE MPC member Spencer Dale tells The Independent: .” He added “there are some signs that growth may be softening, again partly reflecting the June Budget … [and] there’s also the greater question of how things develop as countries around the world accelerate their fiscal consolidation plans.” The economy, said Mr Dale, would not return to normal “for an awfully long time”.
•The US housing market is about to hit a double dip decline. This is important news because of the impact of the US housing market on the US economy, and the impact of the US economy on the global economy. The best source of information on the US housing market comments on the latest survey by the Wall Street Journal, according to which inventories have gone up in 28 large metropolitan areas, and that newly signed contracts have plunged. Calculated Risk says the general problem is excess supply at current prices. Market clearing will only occur if prices fall again. The blog also makes the point that Obama’s housing tax credit was an unmitigated failure because it only benefited those buyers who would have bought anyway. The outcome of this constellation is now another period of falling house prices. And we all know what that means for the stability of the financial system, and the economy at large. And is China’s property market may be about to crash A very interesting article produces a proper metric for China’s land price by sampling 300 land auction prices. A paper by Jing Wu, Joseph Gyourko, and Yongheng Deng finds that since 2003, China’s property price rose by 800%, with half the increase coming in the last couple of years. Hamilton’s article also notes that the Shanghai stock market has fallen by a lot more than European stock markets this year down 20% as opposed to down 10% in Europe. This shows that the bubble is already deflating.
•France and Germany reach agreement on economic coordination one that stands no chance in hell of adoption In an effort to demonstrate the virility of the Franco-German relationship, the two countries agreed on a list of policy co-ordination proposals that stand no chance of adoption, as Wolfgang Schauble took part in a French cabinet meeting, during which Sarkozy called for a complete harmonisation of tax systems. On the substantive issue of policy co-ordination, the two sides agreed that they want to co-ordinate more and better, according to Le Monde they also want deficit sinners to be punished through a withdrawal of voting rights in the Council, and the imposition of a fine for member states with excessive deficits, and the imposition of an interest bearing deposit for member states that fail to bring their fiscal deficits in order. In other words, France and Germany to continue to the same dysfunction regime, except that they strengthen those parts that prove the most dysfunctional.
•Euro area manufacturing PMI came in stronger than expected at 56.5. Industrial orders rise 3.8% m/m. While UK retail sales were stronger than expected, rising 1% m/m excluding autos and fuel.
Irish Banks Rumoured to Pass Tests
Bloomberg are reporting that both Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish are to Pass EU’s Stress Tests. “Bank of Ireland Plc and Allied Irish Banks Plc, the country’s two biggest banks, are both set to pass the European Union’s stress tests on the region’s lenders, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter. Bank of Ireland’s €2.9 bn ($3.7 bn) fundraising last month gave the lender enough capital to meet the threshold set by EU regulators, said the person, who declined to be identified because the talks are private. Allied Irish, the second biggest lender by market value, passed because regulators included in their calculations the €7.4 bn the bank plans to raise by the end of the year, said another person who declined to be identified.
The Committee of European Banking Supervisors, which is coordinating the tests, may yet alter its calculations for Dublin based Allied Irish, one of the people said. The lender is selling overseas assets, including its stakes in Poland’s Bank Zachodni WBK SA and MT Bank Corp. of the U.S., to raise the capital it needs. Chairman Dan O’Connor told the company’s annual general meeting in May the bank may sell new stock to bolster capital. The Irish government |
tested in 13 states were HIV positive. Among STI patients in 10 states, in 2000, HIV prevalence increased by age, the lowest rate was ages 10–19, and the highest among those ages 50+. Akwa Ibom State has one of the highest rates among selected states for 2000 with 21% of STI patients tested HIV positive In 2008, Akwa Ibom and Cross River States had the highest rate of HIV infection in the South South Zone at 9.7% and 6% respectively. The health seeking behaviour of the poor at public health facilities is influenced by cost, the fear that services are not going to be confidential and the fear of meeting people they know at the healthcare facility. Thus this sexual risky population often do not always access care, thus contributing to the underserved most at risk population in the community. Method ECEWS implemented Condom and Other Prevention using the combination prevention among the probable STI patients in rural health facility and missionary health centres in Akwa Ibom and Cross River state using STI counselling, ABC messages, risk reduction, condom promotion, HTC referral, syndromic diagnosis and treatment of STI. Drugs were provided and dispensed free according to the syndromic management guidelines of WHO/FMOH. Preceding this, communities were mapped as areas of high sexual activity and STI prevalence. The CHEW, nurses and doctors in those facilities were selected and trained as health educators to reach this people with HIV prevention messages and syndromic management of STI. Result 13 401 probable STI patients were reached with risk reduction counselling for HIV, condom promotion and STI management by 35 ECEWS trained health educators across primary health centres, missionary hospitals and other rural health post across 20 sites in Akwa Ibom and Cross River states. The strengthened referral system enable majority (88%) of the client to access HTC with little or no challenge. A HIV positivity rate of 12% was observed among this population. Conclusion Using syndromic management as an entry point, poor and most at risk individual in poor rural settings easily accessed effective of HIV prevention messages, counselling, and treatment of STI and behavioural plan towards sexual prevention of HIV. Therefore, syndromic management of STI provides cure and ample opportunity as entry point to reach this MARP in a resource poor setting where laboratory investigation is not easily accessible in intervention of sexual prevention of HIV/AIDS.<|endoftext|>Phase invalidity identification framework with the temporal phase unwrapping method
Phase retrieval from fringe patterns is widely used in optical metrology. In profilometry for example, precise phase values allow three-dimensional coordinate data with higher accuracy to be determined. The phase-shifting method coupled with temporal phase unwrapping provides not only the unwrapped phase, but also gives the modulation map, root mean square errors of least-squares fitting, and phase relationship between two neighboring pixels, which can be used for phase error identification. A practical invalid phase identification framework is presented to automatically identify the invalid measuring points with threshold selection and criterion testing.

Soluble di-iron monooxygenases (SDIMOs), especially group-5 SDIMOs (i.e., tetrahydrofuran and propane monooxygenases), are of significant interest due to their potential role in the initiation of 1,4-dioxane (dioxane) degradation. Functional gene array (i.e., GeoChip) analysis of Arctic groundwater exposed to dioxane since 1980s revealed that various dioxane-degrading SDIMO genes were widespread, and PCR-DGGE analysis showed that group-5 SDIMOs were present in every tested sample, including background groundwater with no known dioxane exposure history. A group-5 thmA-like gene was enriched (2.4-fold over background, p < 0.05) in source-zone samples with higher dioxane concentrations, suggesting selective pressure by dioxane. Microcosm assays with (14)C-labeled dioxane showed that the highest mineralization capacity (6.4 ± 0.1% (14)CO2 recovery during 15 days, representing over 60% of the amount degraded) corresponded to the source area, which was presumably more acclimated and contained a higher abundance of SDIMO genes. Dioxane mineralization ceased after 7 days and was resumed by adding acetate (0.24 mM) as an auxiliary substrate to replenish NADH, a key coenzyme for the functioning of monoxygenases. Acetylene inactivation tests further corroborated the vital role of monooxygenases in dioxane degradation. This is the first report of the prevalence of oxygenase genes that are likely involved in dioxane degradation and suggests their usefulness as biomarkers of dioxane natural attenuation.<|endoftext|>Abnormal Responses of the Systolic Time Intervals to Exercise in Patients with Angina Pectoris
The effects of a 4-min exercise on the duration of the systolic time intervals were determined in 20 patients with angina and 20 age-matched normal controls. The pre-ejection period was shortened 26 msec in normal subjects and 35 msec in angina patients. In normal subjects, total electromechanical systole corrected for heart rate (Q2c) decreased 24 msec, while the left ventricular ejection time corrected for heart rate (LVETc) remained unchanged. In the angina group, by contrast, Q2c failed to change, while LVETc lengthened 23 msec. The angina patients developed similar abnormalities, without pain, after 2 min of exercise. Changes in arterial pressure, cardiac output, and stroke volume failed to explain these systolic temporal abnormalities. Similar abnormalities occurred in 12 patients with primary myocardial disease and heart failure, but not in seven noncardiac patients with nonanginal chest pain. Owing to impaired left ventricular performance and increased afterload, mild exercise prolongs left ventricular ejection in patients with angina. This abnormal prolongation contributes to the development of angina and has value in its diagnosis.<|endoftext|>Closed-loop fiber optic current sensor using ferromagnetic collector and Bi4Ge3O12 crystal
Bi4Ge3O12 magneto-optic crystal was chosen as sensitive materials, and a current sensor based on Faraday rotation of materials was designed. A ferromagnetic collector with an air gap and feedback windings were utilized in the sensor to construct a closed-loop current sensor. The magneto-optic crystal showed stronger magneto-optic effect and smaller temperature coefficient when it was exposed to the light, which was produced by a semiconductor laser with a working wavelength of 655nm. The ferromagnetic collector was used to collect the magnetic field generated by the measured current. The collector could greatly reduce the influence of the position variation of the conductor on the output. The measurement system was a closed-loop system due to introducing the negative feedback coil to the measuring system, so the linear range, linearity, temperature stability and dynamic characteristic index of the sensor were improved greatly. The principle of this sensor was introduced in detail. The structure of this sensitive component, as well as the signal conditioning circuit, was given. Some experimental data and the interpretation of these data were presented.<|endoftext|>Freedom Of Machinery-Volume 2: Screw Theory Exemplified by Jack Phillips Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1990, 251 pp., proper names and subject indices, bibliography.

Google helped the White House get its message out. It also appears to have planted questions on policy issues crucial to its business
White House visitor data shows the close involvement of Google employees in the White House strategy to sidestep traditional media, helping it frame key events in the way most helpful to the administration.
On at least 28 separate occasions, Google digital production staff huddled with White House officials in charge of digital strategy and outreach, helping the White House organize interviews with the president through Google’s YouTube and Google+ hangouts.i The meetings were clustered mostly around the president’s annual State of the Union addresses.
President Obama has participated in YouTube interviews following each of his State of the Union addresses since taking office, taking questions directly from Americans and bloggers handpicked by Google.ii iii iv His first address, on January 27, 2010, offers insight into how closely Google worked with the White House to support Obama’s use of new media strategies.
YouTube’s head of news and politics, Steve Grove, conducted an exclusive 45-minute interview with the president on February 1, 2010 in which questions were submitted by Americans and chosen online.v A “Behind the Scenes” YouTube video of that interview shows Obama pointing to the traditional media assembled in the Oval Office to cover the YouTube event. “You’ve got all of these old media people here,” the president joked.vi
Obama’s use of YouTube, Google+ and other social media channels grew out of his campaign’s effective use of the channels during his first 2008 campaign. According to post-election studies,vii Obama’s campaign learned during his presidential run that he could sidestep the traditional media filter and communicate directly with his 13 million grassroots supporters using Internet channels like YouTube.
That strategy carried over to the White House after the election, where President Obama turned what had traditionally been a weekly radio address into an Internet video address that has often been used to release major news. Google’s help has been reciprocated: President Obama has named the company in no less than three of his State of the Union speeches.viii
What the Data Suggest
Google appears to have helped select the questions posed to President Obama, even inserting questions on topics important to the company’s business, such as online piracy, net neutrality, and patent reform. Those three issues, while relatively obscure to the general public, were among the company’s top policy priorities in each of the years they were posed.
While Google and YouTube have maintained in years past that questions for the president were chosen through online voting, several media outlets reported in 2015 that in fact Google was directly involved in choosing the questions.ix x
- SOPA
On December 20, 2011, records show, Google’s lobbyist, Johanna Shelton, gathered for a White House meeting with intellectual property enforcement coordinator Victoria Espinel, along with technology lobbyists and lawyers from Facebook, Yahoo, AOL, and the non-profit Center for Democracy and Technology.xi
Two weeks later, in early January 2012, Markham Erickson, a participant at the December meeting with Espinel and legal counsel to the Google-backed Net Coalition told Fox News: “a number of [tech] companies have had discussions about blacking out services” to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act legislation.xii
That “blackout” occurred on January 18, 2012, when Wikipedia, Reddit, Mozilla, Google and other websites coordinated a service blackout to protest the SOPA bill. Google reported collecting over seven million signatures against the bill.xiii
Following Obama’s 2012 State of the Union address on January 30th, the president participated in a YouTube, Google+ Hangout question-and-answer session with Grove in which five questioners were invited to ask questions of the president. Others submitted questions via the White House YouTube page.xiv
One of those submitting questions asked the president about his stance on the SOPA bill. Obama responded that he believed it was possible to go a different route in combating online piracy and that it didn’t have to be SOPA.xv The remarks represented a significant policy victory for Google, which stood to lose significant advertising revenue from any clampdown on pirated material accessible through YouTube and Google.
- Patent Reform
A year later, on January 24, 2013, Shelton joined YouTube’s Grove and several Google marketing staffers in the White House for a meeting with Kasie Coccaro, a White House staffer in charge of digital outreach. While the ultimate purpose of the meeting is not known, the composition of its participants suggests it was called to prepare for Obama’s 2013 post-SOTU YouTube interview.xvi Visitor logs also show Shelton meeting alone with Coccaro that same day.xvii
Three weeks later, on February 13 and 14, Shelton, Google Public Policy Vice President Susan Molinari and Google Copyright Counsel Friedrich von Lohmann joined several other Silicon Valley lobbyists and executives in a series of three meetings with Espinel, the White House intellectual property enforcement coordinator.xviii
On February 14, 2013, Google+ broadcast President Obama’s fourth post-SOTU YouTube interview, this time a “fireside hangout” in which five bloggers were chosen to interview and ask questions of the president. YouTube’s Grove reminded viewers at the outset of the interview that neither the president nor anyone at the White House had seen the questions ahead of time.xix
One of the bloggers chosen for the fireside chat interview with the president was Limor Fried, an activist in the open-source hardware community.xx Fried asked the president what he would do to limit the abuse of software patents and whether he would be supportive of limiting patents to only five years.
Obama replied that patent trolls were a significant problem and that they were essentially “hijacking” the ideas and creativity of others to extort money. The president remarked that he was committed to pulling together additional stakeholders to build consensus on reforming patent laws.xxi
The remarks again aligned perfectly with Google’s position on an issue that had posed a significant threat to the company.xxii
- Net Neutrality
A year later, on January 30, 2014, Google’s Shelton joined several members of Google+ production staff for a “live chat” interview with President Obama, during which he again answered recorded questions from Americans on policy issues.xxiii
Art Hernandez, a participant in the “live chat” session asked the president to affirm his support for net neutrality rules, another longtime policy objective for Google with broad financial implications for the company.xxiv The president reiterated his support for the rules and expressed confidence that the FCC would use its authority to pass strong regulations on broadband providers.xxv
Questions Raised
Google aided the White House’s public relations effort by circumventing traditional media. Did it also inject questions on issues important to its business? To illustrate how problematic that might be, it’s worth imagining Fox News asking the president about media-ownership rules for its parent company at a presidential debate, or MSNBC asking Hillary Clinton about issues important to its parent, Comcast.
The sequence of events calls into question Google’s claims that the interviews were objective, impartial news events. White House logs show that Shelton, Google’s top White House lobbyist, accompanied the production crew to interview the president on three different occasions.xxvi Would it be appropriate for Disney’s chief lobbyist to accompany the ABC News crew to a presidential interview?
Did Google coordinate questions with the White House? On two occasions, Google’s top White House lobbyist, Johanna Shelton, met with Victoria Espinel the relevant policy official in the days and weeks prior to the SOPA and patent reform questions being asked of the president.xxvii
The timing raises questions about assurances, made to viewers by YouTube’s head of news and politics, Steve Grove, that neither the president nor anyone at the White House had previously seen the questions. It also raises the possibility that Google and the White House may have agreed to include questions that affected the company’s business.

Sarah Lindsay represented GB at three olympic games in short track speed skating and is now a personal trainer and gym owner. Hear about her gym which is called Roar Fitness, some stories from skating and how she manages to get celebrities into shape!
Paul Clark runs health and safety events and has started a H&S network that allows professionals to swap info and ideas. He has events running in different countries but the next H&S one is in the UK on February 11th and 12th.
He has also started a network called The Onion. It is early stages yet but the idea is that it provides a safe network to meet like minded people who may suffer from similar mental health issues as you. The objective being that you can get support through the network. The first meeting is in Bradford-On-Avon on February 1st but Paul is working to make the network available across the UK. Hear about all this here on UK Health Radio.
Thank you for reading and please do ask questions or make comments below and do listen to the RELAXBACK UK SHOW.

Aims To evaluate the safeguarding assessment of “Under 2s” presenting to a Children’s Emergency Department (CED) with suspected skull fracture. Methods A retrospective study between the 1st January 2012 to 1st January 2015 for children under 2 years old who underwent radiological investigation (CT or XRAY Head) for acute head injury. Results 52 patients underwent investigation (CT head/skull x-ray) the average age was 6 months. Of these development was assessed in 40% of cases and a full body examination was documented in 67%. 22 (42%) had confirmed skull fractures (SF), with an average age of 7 months (4.6–9.5 months). Most fractures (78%) were simple, linear and parietal. 21/22 cases (95%) presented with localised head swelling, bruising or haematoma and the most common mechanisms were: fall 74%, unexplained 13% and accidentally dropped 9%. 65% were discussed with social services. 10/22 (45%) underwent skeletal survey (SS), with additional fractures (rib fractures) detected in 1 child.12/22 did not have a SS of whom half were under 6 months age. Overall 7/52 (13%) were on social service plans at time of presentation. All children who underwent skeletal survey had a strategy meeting. Only 2/52 (4%) cases were defined as definitive NAI, only one had a skull fracture. All skull fractures were admitted. 2 children were transferred to neurosurgical centres for close observation (small subdural bleed) neither were defined as NAI.Abstract G249(P) Figure 1 Conclusion It was interesting to note the small number of SS performed in the less than 6 months age group, which on notes review appeared to be attributed to the clinicians assessment of low likelihood of NAI in that individual patient. From this limited study the presence of a skull fracture did not help predict the likelihood of NAI. The diagnosis of NAI relies on a multiagency approach; there is no gold-standard for diagnosis. This is the first UK study looking at this population of children. There is no validated decision making tool for this population of children with skull fractures to aid inclusion/exclusion of non-accidental injury. A multicentre study would allow larger numbers to draw conclusions with regards to decision making.<|endoftext|>Acetone adsorption on ice surfaces in the temperature range T = 190-220 K: evidence for aging effects due to crystallographic changes of the adsorption sites.
The rate and thermodynamics of the adsorption of acetone on ice surfaces have been studied in the temperature range T = 190-220 K using a coated-wall flow tube reactor (CWFT) coupled with QMS detection. Ice films of 75 +/- 25 microm thickness were prepared by coating the reactor using a calibrated flow of water vapor. The rate coefficients for adsorption and desorption as well as adsorption isotherms have been derived from temporal profiles of the gas phase concentration at the exit of the flow reactor together with a kinetic model that has recently been developed in our group to simulate reversible adsorption in CWFTs (Behr, P.; Terziyski, A.; Zellner, R. Z. Phys. Chem. 2004, 218, 1307-1327). It is found that acetone adsorption is entirely reversible; the adsorption capacity, however, depends on temperature and decreases with the age of the ice film. The aging effect is most pronounced at low acetone gas-phase concentrations (< or = 2.0 x 10(11) molecules/cm(3)) and at low temperatures. Under these conditions, acetone is initially adsorbed with a high rate and high surface coverage that, upon aging, both become lower. This effect is explained by the existence of initially two adsorption sites (1) and (2), which differ in nature and number density and for which the relative fractions change with time. Using two-site dynamic modeling, the rate coefficients for adsorption (k(ads)) and desorption (k(des)) as well as the Langmuir constant (K(L)) and the maximum number of adsorption sites (c(s,max)), as obtained for the adsorption of acetone on sites of types (1) and (2) in the respective temperature range, are k(ads)(1) = 3.8 x 10(-14) T(0.5) cm(3) s(-1), k(des)(1) = 4.0 x 10(11) exp(-5773/T) s(-1), K(L) (1) = 6.3 x 10(-25) exp(5893/T) cm(3), c(s,max)(1) < or = 10(14) cm(-2) and k(ads)(2) = 2.9 x 10(-15) T(0.5) cm(3) s(-1), k(des)(2) = 1.5 x 10(7) exp(-3488/T) s(-1), K(L)(2) = 5.0 x 10(-22) exp(3849/T) cm(3), c(s,max)(2) = 6.0 x 10(14) cm(-2), respectively. On the basis of these results, the adsorption of acetone on aged ice occurs exclusively on sites of type (2). Among the possible explanations for the time-dependent two-site adsorption behavior, i.e., crystallographic differences, molecular or engraved microstructures, or a mixture of the two, we tentatively accept the former, i.e., that the two adsorption sites correspond to cubic (1, I(c)) and hexagonal (2, I(h)) sites. The temporal change of I(c) to I(h) and, hence, the time constants of aging are consistent with independent information in the literature on these phase changes.<|endoftext|>Transfer your H1B visa to a new company in three steps.
As an Adobe Experience Manager developer, you already know that companies seek and value your skills. After all, your unique skill set brought you together with your current H1B visa sponsor in the first place. However, in light of recent changes to the 2019 H1B program, you may feel uneasy when you’re approached with offers that could lead to new, better employment opportunities. You might think that if something goes wrong, it could put your status in jeopardy.
While your apprehension is certainly understandable, the current administration’s changes shouldn’t deter you from accepting employment at a new company. The only change that applies to current H1B visa holders is one that suspends expedited processing in transfer situations. So there is no longer an option to fast-track an application. However, there are also no additional rules that should worry you.
The process to transfer an H1B visa from one company to another starts out very similar to the process of applying for one. First, the company offering you employment must submit a petition to hire a nonimmigrant worker (Form I-129) and a labor condition application (Form ETA 9035/9035E) to United States Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS). It’s from there that the process begins to differ: instead of visiting the consulate next, you’ll need to take the following three steps to keep the ball rolling.
2. Submit your copied documents where directed.
You’ll be asked to send your documents to either your prospective employer’s hiring manager, their HR department, an immigration attorney, or to USCIS. If you’re not sure where to send them, be sure to ask the hiring manager who offered you the position.
After you submit your documents, it can take from one to four months for USCIS to issue an approval. Technically, you can begin working for the new company as soon USCIS issues receipt of your prospective employer’s petition and labor condition application. But since there is always a possibility that the transfer could be denied, due to paperwork mistakes or fee miscalculations, for example, it is best to stay put until you know you’re approved for sure. Mistakes can be corrected while you are safely working via the H1B you have currently, but not if you are working without one.

Nanoindentation and nanoscratching experiments have been performed to assess the mechanical properties of several carbon thin films with potential application as wear resistant coatings for magnetic disks. These include three hydrogenated-carbon films prepared by sputter deposition in a H{sub 2}/Ar gas mixture (hydrogen contents of 20, 34, and 40 atomic %) and a pure carbon film prepared by cathodic-arc plasma techniques. Each film was deposited on a silicon substrate to thickness of about 300 run. The hardness and elastic modulus were measured using nanoindentation methods, and ultra-low load scratch tests were used to assess the scratch resistance of the films and measure friction coefficients. Results show that the hardness, elastic modulus, and scratch resistance of the 20 and 34% hydrogenated films are significantly greater than the 40% film, thereby showing that there is a limit to the amount of hydrogen producing beneficial effects. The cathodic-arc film, with a hardness of greater than 59 GPa, is considerably harder than any of the hydrogenated films and has a superior scratch resistance.<|endoftext|>Reference spirometric values for healthy lifetime nonsmokers in Thailand.
The normal spirometric reference values for Thai people are still not yet available. The aim of this study was to establish standard spirometric equations for Thai people. Subjects 10 years of age and over were selected and their demographic distributions represented that of the population of the whole country. Inclusion criteria were strictly lifetime nonsmokers, no history of chronic cardiopulmonary disease (using a modified ATS--DLD 78 respiratory adult questionnaire), normal standard chest radiograph and unremarkable physical examination. They had to be without respiratory symptoms at the time of the study. Spirometric values were obtained by 5 turbine system 'Pony graphic' (Cosmed, Italy) spirometers which met ATS recommendations. A normal group of 2299 women and 1655 men were selected. Regression analyses using sex, height and age as independent variables were used to provide equations for predicted values. The results were: [table: see text] FVC and FEV1 from this study are close to the Chinese but are 8-20 per cent lower than the Caucasians. These predicted equations are recommended to be used for future reference values in the Thai population.<|endoftext|>Computed tomographic imaging in determining the need of embolization for high-grade blunt renal injury
BACKGROUND It is well documented that transarterial embolization (TAE) can successfully stop bleeding in renal trauma patients and reduce the failure rate of conservation treatment. However, there is no consensus on the indications for TAE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the criteria for computed tomography (CT) to predict the need for TAE for patients with high-grade blunt renal trauma. METHODS Of the 137 patients with blunt renal trauma between 2005 and 2010, 81 had a high-grade injury (grade ≥3) with stable hemodynamics, who were treated conservatively, were included in the study. CT criteria included contrast extravasation (CE), perirenal hematoma rim distance (PRD), and extent of hematoma. The patients were divided into two groups according to the extent of hematoma on CT, as either Group 1 with localized hematomas or Group 2 with extensive hematomas. We compared the CT and angiographic findings and examined the correlation between patient management and outcome. The CT criteria, alone or in combination, for predicting the subsequent requirement for TAE were evaluated. RESULTS Of the 81 patients, 35 were in Group 1 and 46 were in Group 2, with 35 having CE. The 22 patients who received TAE were all in Group 2 and had CE. Mean PRD was larger for the patients who received TAE than for those who did not. CE, extent of hematoma, and PRD correlated significantly with the need for TAE (all p < 0.001). Overall, the combination of CT criteria for CE and extent of hematoma showed the highest accuracy for predicting the need for TAE. CONCLUSION CE, extent of hematoma, and PRD were simple and sensitive indicators of patients who required TAE. The combination of CE criteria and extent of hematoma markedly increased the predictive value for predicting the need for TAE. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic study, level III; therapeutic study, level IV.<|endoftext|>Two Dimensions to Economic Incorporation: Soviet Immigrants in the Israeli Labour Market
This paper examines the economic integration of immigrants from the Former Soviet Union into the Israeli labour market in terms of occupational and earnings mobility (i.e. decreasing occupational and earnings disparities) in comparison with several Israeli Jewish sub-populations. Using data from annual Income Surveys conducted by the Israel Bureau of Statistics between the years 1995 and 2006, we find little occupational and earnings mobility of Soviet immigrants throughout the period and substantial occupational and earnings disadvantages compared to all Jewish sub-populations (especially when compared to Jews of European/American origin). The findings are discussed in light of the assimilation model, suggesting that the social and economic circumstances associated with the arrival of Soviet immigrants in Israel have long-lasting, detrimental consequences for their economic assimilation.<|endoftext|>Participation in sport as an assessment of women empowerment
According to National Policy for the Empowerment of Women (2001) section 6.2 ‘A holistic approach to women's health which includes both nutrition and health services will be adopted and special attention will be given to the needs of women and the girl at all stages of the life cycle’. The present study examines empowerment of women through games and sports keeping in view the physical, mental and social health. One hundred and fifty college going female subjects, age ranging between 18 and 25 years with a mean and SD of 21.26 ± 2.07 from different District of Gwalior, India were administered a self developed questionnaire. The various responses received were analysed using percentage. Study shows that participation in games and sports makes them physically active (44%), improve their health (42%), positive feeling of well being (45%), prevention of chronic disease (45%), prevention of osteoporosis (41%). Further, sports and games relieves emotional strain (58%), makes them to think logically (36%), reduces anxiety, depression and stress (38%), enhance decision making, organisational and management skill over time (46%), foster self-esteem and empowerment (30%), offers more freedom in comparison to past (58%), opportunities for leadership and achievement (56%), economic and social development (61%), encourages women to form clubs and hence have a career in sport (48%). Majority of the women had a favourable attitude towards participation in games and sports thus helping to improve their physical, mental, and social health. Gender violence (68%) and discrimination (56%) can be reduced if more and more females participated in sports. Further, sports helps in providing equal status to women.<|endoftext|>Optimum Multiresolution Fusion Scheme for CT/MR Images Based on Region Feature
The fusion technology of multi-modality biomedical images is important for clinic diagnoses. For structure of bone can only be clearly display on CT, while normal and pathological soft tissue are better visualized by MR. An optimum multiresolution fusion scheme for CT/MR images based on region feature was proposed. The low frequency band of the image multiresolution representation is segmented into important regions, in which the soft tissue information from MR image was emphasized and fused with rule 1. Otherwise the line feature of CT was defined as second important regions and fused with rule 2. Each feature of the regions is used to determine the region's degree of membership in the multiresolution representation, and then to achieve multiresolution representation of the fusion result. Furthermore, the high frequency information was fused with rule 3. The final image fusion result can be obtained by using the inverse multiresolution transform. A new optimum fusion scheme combines information from different modalities based on quality performance for fused images after decomposition. Root mean squared error and edge preservation are used to adjust the fusion rule and achieve the optimum weight. Experiments showed that the proposed image fusion method can have better performance than existing image fusion methods.<|endoftext|>IoT based real-time residential energy meter monitoring system
IoT-based applications are becoming more popular and provide effective solutions for many real time problems. In this research, real-time monitoring system for residential energy meter is proposed. The presented system provides ubiquitous and continuous access to energy consumption to the consumer by exploiting the advancement of IoT technology. The proposed system is cost effective as it requires a simple upgrade on the existing meters than complete replacement. Further, it is light weight and compact with the usage of SoC for control and communication. Through the experimental analysis, it is found that from the collected data, it is possible to obtain the pattern of consumption as well as faultiness present in the existing system. The presented work can also be extended to large scale from which load distributed in the area can be estimated so that the system can be strengthened to enhance performance.<|endoftext|>Structured exception handling and defensive programming are the two pillars of robust software.
Both pillars fail however when it comes to handling internal faults, those that normally originate in software defects rather than in any external factors.

Thread: DataGridViewLinkColumn SelectionBackColor and SelectionForeColor not taking effect.
Setting the SelectionBackColor and SelectionForeColor of a DataGridViewLinkColumn from the design IDE doesn't take effect. The cell texts still hold the default color blue. Why is this happening? Thanks.
These properties do not apply to the column, they apply to the grid and how it behave when the user select a row.
The properties that you are looking for are LinkColor, ActiveLinkColor and VisitedLinkColor. You do not set them on the grid, but on the column itself, throug the Columns property of the Grid.
Do u mean these properties don't apply to DataGridViewLinkColumn only or just any column? Because, through the design IDE, u can set those properties to other column types of a datagridview. Go to the properties explorer, click the button beside the Columns property, the window for defining individual column properties opens up, select any column from the left panel and click the button beside the DefaulCellStyle property in the right panel. The DefaultCellStyle window pops up. Here u can set the cell style for that particular column explicitly.
I tried this way but it doesn't work for DataGridViewLinkColumn. Don't know why? May be it's getting overriden by the inherited style.
The other type of columns use those properties to define what happen when you select them.
LinkColumn are a special case, because the link itself already has a choice of colors (LinkColor, ActiveLinkColor and VisitedLinkColor). There could be a conflict between one of those and the Selection colors, so the Selection colors do not work on that type of column.
If you want to have a color other than blue, you need to change the LinkColor.
Yeah, i kind of hoped of that too. It's a relief that nothing ain't wrong from my side. Thanks.<|endoftext|>Get rich quick now, you’re already an online too. Bucks along on the top 10 !

Update: I ended up having to custom-roll a login screen for a second login to make this work. Seems if you set up the dummy account in both files, then execute a script in the UI file to force a second login with the user's real credentials, it actually works. Not ideal, but at least it'll prevent having to keep all the credentials in both files or (worse) going to a unified model.
So for future reference, make sure the account you want to use to log in with exists in all files. Then you can use scripting to force re-logins as needed.

While the whole point of a capsule wardrobe is to put together a selection of classic, timeless pieces, you can still supplement these with seasonal items throughout the year to keep your wardrobe fresh and interesting.
Trendy Accessories
When putting together your capsule wardrobe, it is likely that you tried to avoid incorporating trendy pieces, as these are usually not at all timeless. However, staying in touch with current trends is a great way to keep your outfits looking young and fresh, so do not be afraid of supplementing your capsule wardrobe with a few trendy items each season. Accessories are usually the easiest way to do this, as they will not detract from the essence of your wardrobe, meaning that you can go as bold and bright as you want to. From stylish handbags to statement jewelry, feel free to really experiment when it comes to accessories.
Added Texture
If you are seeking a few new pieces to round out what you already have in your wardrobe, paying attention to texture is a great way to ensure one-of-a-kind looks. If the majority of your wardrobe is filled with silks and other soft, fine fabrics, think about adding an edgy leather jacket to this, while those who have a wardrobe that consists of plenty of ruffles and other textured details may want to go in the other direction, opting for minimal, relaxed items instead.
Color Palettes
You likely already have a color palette for your capsule wardrobe, as this is essential to provide cohesiveness, but there is no reason why your color palette cannot change with the seasons. From the florals and corals of spring to the greens and pinks of summer to the muted neutrals of fall and winter, switching up your color palette each season will make it much easier to find new supplementary pieces that will work well with the rest of the clothes that you already own.
Quality Over Quantity
When you have a small, capsule wardrobe, it can be easy to get carried away while out on a shopping trip, as you know that you will physically be able to fit several new garments into your closet. However, as tempting as the fast fashion stores all around you may be, it is always worthwhile to opt for a few high quality items of clothing rather than multiple cheaper ones, as these will last for much longer, which is essential when it comes to a capsule wardrobe.
Capsule wardrobes are not a new concept, with the term first being coined in the 70’s by Donna Karan, but they have definitely experienced quite the buzz in recent years. While refining your wardrobe down to under 50 pieces may seem like quite the challenge, knowing how, and when, to supplement this with additional seasonal items will ensure that the outfits that you put together always look stylish and current.<|endoftext|>December 1998
Fusion
Columbia/Legacy
With the advent of Tony Williams Lifetime and later Weather Report and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, the jazz/rock fusion movement had spread to Europe. Among several important pioneers in the genre across the pond was Polish violinist Michal Urbaniak, who along with his band of Polish gypsies (including keyboardist Adam Makowicz) recorded the self-explanatory Fusion in 1973. Borrowing elements from Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, Klaus Doldinger & Passport and especially the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Urbaniak and his compatriots cooked up a intense hybrid based on throbbing rhythms, disciplined unison lines and freewheeling improvisations provided by the violinist and his wife Urszula Dudziak, whose wordless vocals were often electronically enhanced with Echoplex. Dudziak's otherworldly scatting is put to best effect on the 14-minute "Bengal" and the funk-driven title track.
All these elements-jazz harmonies and improvisation filtered through a pop sensibility and melded to bombastic backbeats-come together in spectacular form on the blazing opener "Good Times, Bad Times," "Bahamian Harvest" and "Seresta." On the album's lone ballad, "Impromptu," Urbaniak showcases his penchant for dark lyricism. And on "Deep Mountain" he incorporates Eastern European folk scales alongside wicked wah-wah laden statements.
Credit drummer Czeslaw Bartkowski for providing the Cobhamesque firepower that propelled the band. But the overall vision belongs to Urbaniak, classically trained violinist turned jazz enthusiast turned fusion pioneer.

The Rangers, in winning for only the eighth time in 24 games, held a 2-1 lead near the middle of the second period when the freak goal was scored.
The Rangers' Marcel Dionne had just been hit with a delayed penalty and the Islanders' Billy Smith, who was credited with the first score by a goalie in 1979, was heading for the bench to let another attacker on the ice. The Islanders' Denis Potvin banged a shot off the post. Teammate Brent Sutter tried to pass the rebound out to the point, but it went all the way down the ice into the net.
It was a legal goal because the Islanders had not lost control of the puck. According to the rules, the Ranger closest to Sutter when he put the puck into the wrong net, gets credit for the goal. In this case it was Froese.<|endoftext|>IASbaba’s Daily Current Affairs [Prelims + Mains Focus] – 3rd November 2018

Back then, I got the feeling that Chinese people were trying to be modern and push away the past," said Brunn, CEO of Natooke. "So, anyone who had received an education or earned a reasonable salary did not want to be associated with a bicycle."
At that time, fixed-gear bikes were popping up in large cities like New York, Tokyo and London but were missing in the streets and bicycle shops of China.
Although Natooke refuses to disclose revenue figures, it said that sales have kept growing as more Beijing residents are gradually discovering the benefits of cycling.
"There was one year in the past when at least two people would visit the store every week to discuss our expansion plans," said Brunn. "However, most of them have no background in cycling. They just want to do it (enter innovative bike business) for the money."
Finally, in 2012, two Americans who shared her passion convinced her to take the brand to Chengdu, in Sichuan province.
Although her business is progressing well, she said that online competition is currently very strong, offering cheaper prices for lower quality products.
"I do believe changes in consumer tastes and preferences will shape new thinking on bikes and that the Chinese will be willing to buy more expensive and better bikes," said Brunn.
Neil Wang, global partner and China president of Frost & Sullivan, agreed. "High-end electric scooters and high-end bicycles are becoming trendy in big cities in China."
Like Brunn, US-born David Wang left his job in 2014 as a market researcher in China to focus on his passion－bikes. The difference is, he created Bamboo Bicycle Beijing, a company that teaches locals to build their own sustainable bikes using bamboo.
"I thought that I could add more cultural value by helping people to build their own bike instead of just selling them," said Wang. 'Young people in China don't just want to consume a new product, they want to experience new things."
So far, the company has taught more than 400 people to create their own green bikes and notes that the community interested in taking part in its workshop and activities keeps growing.
The company charges 2,000 yuan to participate in its all-included do-it-yourself workshops. An average of 4-6 people learn every week how to build their own bikes at workshops in a traditional hutong.
Although the firm's profits are still slim, Wang hopes its revenue will grow on the back of collaborations with schools and companies.
<|endoftext|>Vertical Axis Awareness in 3D Environments
We inhabit an environment in which the vertical axis is of spe cial significance. It is the line along which the local force of gravity i s exerted, and which extends perpendicularly from the surface about which we navig ate. It also indicates the general direction of natural scene illumination, and is the axis to which we self-orient for most day-to-day activities. Developers of 3D virtual en vironments must also be aware of the significance of the vertical axis if a ‘natural’ u ser experience is intended. This paper describes a selection of important vertical axis cues, and asserts that their use can significantly improve the user’s understanding of th e virtual environment. It then considers the issue of vertically-aware 3D view specifi cat on. A number of constrained viewing models are identified which inhibit the spe cification of ‘unnatural’ world views in which the user may feel disoriented.<|endoftext|>'The perpetrators go further to record it and circulate it.It shows for me that they're daring society to take action on it,' said Josephine Effah-Chukwuma, the executive director of a Nigerian women's rights group called Project Alert.Everything is pre-arranged so that the wealthy foreigner pays high amounts of money for accommodation, is taken not to an ordinary public café but to the most costly restaurant (usually some out-of-the-way place priced far above what locals would ever be willing to pay), and is manipulated into making various expensive purchases, including gifts such as electronics and fur coats. The victim leaves just as alone but poorer at the end of the trip.The merchandise is returned to the vendors, the pro-dater and the various accomplices take in their respective cut of the take.
The scheme usually involves accomplices, such as an interpreter and a taxi driver, all of which must be paid by the victim at an inflated price. A mistake that would cost Lucius more than the amount he gave to Mr Bandabaloobi."Mr Bandabaloobi said he was from the Nigerian Bank" said Lucius "We first met when he wrote me an email explaining he needed me to transfer 3 million dollars out of the country because a rich old guy had died and the government was going to keep the money unless I could help and for this I would receive a percentage." "I gave them my account details and bought a plane ticket to Nigeria to meet Mr Bandabaloobi and sign the transfer papers." "Once I arrived I was beaten and taken to a small hotel room on the outskirts of town.Fraudulent acts may involve access to the victims' money, bank accounts, credit cards, passports, e-mail accounts, or national identification numbers or by getting the victims to commit financial fraud on their behalf.Letters are exchanged between the scammer and victim until the scammer feels they have groomed the victim enough to ask for money.
This suggests that in addition to physical attractiveness, the researchers say, people consider individual compatibility.

HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY RESEARCHAccess, Opportunity, and Adjudication: 1952-1969The literature review begins in the 1950s and details the role of legal enactments in the context of the desegregation era and the impact of those enactments on Texas's K- 12 public schools and the UT-Austin. Specifically, we consider how pervasive and hostile attitudes toward desegregation influenced the speed with which students of color had access to all levels of education in Texas. We then transition to the impact of the civil rights movement on access and opportunity.In 1946, Heman Marion Sweatt, a Black veteran, applied for, and was denied admission to, the UT-Austin School of Law. Sweatt filed suit against UT-Austin in Texas's 126th District Court alleging that this denial was an infringement of his rights under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. At the time, there were no separate Black law schools in Texas (Lavergne 2010). After six months, Iudge Roy C. Archer of the 126th District Court decided that if the UT-Austin Board of Regents created a separate first-class university law school then the UT-Austin School of Law would not be required to accept Blacks (Duren and Iscoe 1979, 3). Sweatt appealed to the U.S. 3rd Court of Appeals, which sent the case back to retrial.The Sweatt case is dissimilar from the Missouri ex rei. Gaines v. Canada (1938), University v. Murray (1936), Sipuel v. Board of Regents ( 1948), and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents (1950) Southern higher education desegregation cases as the state of Texas sought to create a "separate but equal" law school to head off integration at UT-Austin. During the appeal, the Texas Legislature approved the establishment of the Texas State University for Negroes (TSUN, later called Texas Southern University or TSU) in Houston. This new university was created to offer general and professional programs equivalent to those offered at UT-Austin for Blacks. On March 10, 1947, the school opened, but Sweatt did not attend due to TSUN's inferior quality and the NAACP's desire to integrate White institutions (Lavergne 2010). After the Texas Supreme Court refused Sweatt's motion for a rehearing of his case, the NAACP filed the case at the U.S. Supreme Court. The nation's highest court ruled on lune 5, 1950, that the educational opportunity for Black and White law students was not "substantially" equal to meet the equal protection clause under the Fourteenth Amendment, thus, the UT-Austin School of Law was required to admit Sweatt.Despite Sweatt, the official end of the Iim Crow era arrived after the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which held that the Plessyv. Ferguson doctrine of "separate but equal" was unconstitutional. Following Brown v. Board of Education (1955), the second Brown decision, the U.S. Supreme Court gave the responsibility for integrating public schools to local officials under the scrutiny of the federal courts; in addition, these courts needed to ensure that local officials were making a "prompt and reasonable start" with "all deliberate speed" (Ogletree 2004).However, this notion of "all deliberate speed" became "all deliberate slowness" in its implementation in Texas. Then Governor Allan Shivers saw the Brown decision as a federal invasion into states' rights on the doctrine of "separate but equal" and, as such, did not believe that the schools in Texas needed to change to reflect the Brown decision (Lavergne 2010).Then Attorney General lohn Ben Shepperd, reacting to a Texas |
