and skeletal malignancies (eg, myeloma, metastases) enhance the ratio of RANKL to OPG and, thus, promote osteoclastogenesis, accelerate bone resorption, and induce bone loss. Moreover, alterations of the OPG/RANKL/RANK system have been implicated in vascular diseases. RANKL blockade (using OPG or RANK fusion proteins or RANKL antibodies) has prevented bone loss caused by osteoporosis, chronic inflammatory disorders, and malignant tumors in animal models and may emerge as a therapy in humans based on studies in postmenopausal osteoporosis, myeloma bone disease, and osteolytic metastases. This review summarizes the clinical implications of the OPG/RANKL/RANK system for bone and vascular diseases.<|endoftext|>High-Flow Nasal Cannula Utilization in Pediatric Critical Care
BACKGROUND: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is increasingly utilized in pediatrics, delivering humidified air and oxygen for respiratory conditions causing hypoxia and distress. In the neonatal ICU, it has been associated with better tolerance, lower complications, and lower cost. Few data exist regarding indications for use and the epidemiology of disease/pathology that warrants HFNC in the pediatric ICU. METHODS: This study is a retrospective cohort study of patients admitted to a tertiary children's hospital pediatric ICU and placed on HFNC from October 1, 2011 to October 31, 2013. Descriptive statistics were used to describe demographics and utilization data. t test comparisons were used for comparison data. RESULTS: Over the enrollment study period, 620 subjects with HFNC were managed, which represented 27% of total ICU admissions. The average age was 3.74 y (range 0–18.1 y), and subjects were 44% female and 65% African American. Reported primary indications for the utilization of HFNC were status asthmaticus (24%), status asthmaticus with pneumonia (17%), and bronchiolitis (16%). Of the subjects admitted with a primary diagnosis of status asthmaticus, 41% required management with terbutaline. Respiratory viral infections were detected by polymerase chain reaction in 334 subjects managed with HFNC (53.8%) and included 260 subjects testing positive for rhinovirus/enterovirus. When compared with all other respiratory viral illness, subjects with rhinovirus/enterovirus required a higher peak flow (14.9 L vs 13.1 L, P = .01); however, this was an older population, and peak oxygen concentration did not differ between the 2 groups (49.8% vs 47.1%, P = .25). HFNC was used as postextubation support in 16% of the subjects. Of the 63 subjects with congenital heart disease, 92% of the utilization was postextubation. CONCLUSIONS: HFNC was utilized in 27% of all pediatric ICU admissions for a wide range of indications. Development of protocols for the initiation, escalation, and weaning of HFNC would optimize the utilization.<|endoftext|>Hepatoprotective effects of Arctium lappa on carbon tetrachloride- and acetaminophen-induced liver damage.
The root of Arctium lappa Linne (A. lappa) (Compositae), a perennial herb, has been cultivated for a long time as a popular vegetable. In order to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of A. lappa, male ICR mice were injected with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4, 32 microl/kg, i.p.) or acetaminophen (600 mg/kg, i.p.). A. lappa suppressed the SGOT and SGPT elevations induced by CCl4 or acetaminophen in a dose-dependent manner and alleviated the severity of liver damage based on histopathological observations. In an attempt to elucidate the possible mechanism(s) of this hepatoprotective effect, glutathione (GSH), cytochrome P-450 (P-450) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were studied. A. lappa reversed the decrease in GSH and P-450 induced by CCl4 and acetaminophen. It was also found that A. lappa decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in CCl4 or acetaminophen-intoxicated mice. From these results, it was suggested that A. lappa could protect the liver cells from CCl4 or acetaminophen-induced liver damages, perhaps by its antioxidative effect on hepatocytes, hence eliminating the deleterious effects of toxic metabolites from CCl4 or acetaminophen.<|endoftext|>Evaluation of an e-Advising System: User Experience
Higher education (HE) in Kuwait suffers from high dropout rates, and one of the leading causes of this desertion is a lack of academic advising. Effective academic advising systems must fulfill its user’s needs and provide a positive user experience (UX), which allows users to successfully and effectively fulfill their goals. This study used quantitative and qualitative approaches to evaluate an electronic advising system (e-Advisor) used by the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET). Survey data from 1,095 PAAET students were analyzed to determine students' perceptions and evaluate their experience using e-Adviser. The findings indicated that students were aware of the features and advantages of e-Advisor. Overall, the participants had a moderately positive impression of e-Advisor’s UX. The system’s attractiveness, efficiency, and perspicuity were rated slightly higher than its dependability, stimulation, and novelty. Moreover, female students’ perceptions of e-Advisors UX were significantly more favorable than their male counterparts.<|endoftext|>A simple method to treat an ingrowing toenail with a shape‐memory alloy device
An ingrowing toenail has no definitive treatment. Previously, effective methods were complicated but easy ones had less effect. We show both an easy and an effective way with Cu‐Al‐Mn‐based shape‐memory alloys (SMAs). They have a characteristic shape which patients themselves can detach easily without any pain. But they also have enough corrective force. Cu‐based SMAs cost much less than Ni‐Ti‐based alloys. Despite not being appropriate for all cases of ingrowing toenails, it is an easy, effective and less costly alternative.<|endoftext|>Here I am in Amed, all east of Bali. The coast is hemmed in by a series of cute coves of sand and black pebbles, where the bright colors of the junkungs, the little fishing boats with rockers of the corner. I already came to Amed a few years ago. I had forgotten how beautiful it is!
I rediscovered all these small scooter handles, nose in the wind, following east the laces of the pretty little coastal road.
The ride is quiet, as there is little traffic between the villages along the coast, dominated by the impressive shadow of the Agung volcano: Amed, Bunutan, Jemeluk, Lipah ...
The last major eruption of the Gunung Agung dates from 1963. It has killed 1000 to 2000 dead, a hundred thousand homeless and covered the region with ashes.
It was this eruption that caused the Libertywho was then in the bay. This American freighter was towed to Tulamben in 1942 during the war, after being torpedoed by a Japanese submarine.
The wreck, broken in two, measures more than a hundred meters. It now lies between 5 and 30 meters deep, close to the shore. It has become Bali's most famous dive site.
As in Pemuteran, no tourist frenzy in Amed. The small coastal towns are very scattered, so that one has the impression to be a little at the end of the world, far from everything.
Charming welcome everywhere, accommodations of all categories, with, often, a splendid view of the sea.
On the advice of the effective Ketut ofEco-Dive, I asked myself Wawa Wewe II, on the border of Bunutan and Lipah. It is a small resort of a dozen bungalows large and charming, storied in a beautiful garden that goes down to the sea, to a small infinity pool surrounded by statues of Ganesh.
It's peaceful as I like. Neither dog barking until no time at night, nor roosters playing the morning-wakes before dawn, nor bar thundering nearby. Just the sound of the waves and, in the evening, the young people who hold the place a little scratch the guitar.
Another nice corner where I risk to tape a lot of time ...
Today, the Balinese elected their new governor. My dive-master Kadek had to go to Singaraja to vote (from 1 hour to 3 hours drive west, according to the temerity of the driver).
His family, originally from Tulamben, moved there in 1963, after the Gunung Agung eruption. All his papers are still with his address in Singaraja. We have therefore exceptionally advanced the time of the first dive, so that I got up right with the sun, this morning.
Here is the fabulous sunrise that I can admire every morning since Wawa Wewe II... provided I get up at 6am!
<|endoftext|>VNF chain allocation and management at data center scale
Recent advances in network function virtualization have prompted the research community to consider data-center-scale deployments. However, existing tools, such as E2 and SOL, limit VNF chain allocation to rack-scale and provide limited support for management of allocated chains. We define a narrow API to let data center tenants and operators allocate and manage arbitrary VNF chain topologies, and we introduce NetPack, a new stochastic placement algorithm, to implement this API at data-center-scale. We prototyped the resulting system, dubbed Daisy, using the Sonata platform. In data-center-scale simulations on realistic scenarios and topologies |

The article shows the methods of vehicle recognition on the image sequence and its trajectory registration. As a recognition algorithm authors used Viola-Jones method with optical flow filter and the deep convolutional neural network in combination with sliding window technique for vehicle detection task. Also authors analyze approaches to registration of detected vehicle trajectories on image sequence based on its linear and angular velocities and Kalman filter. The efficiency of vehicle detection is shown in terms of the precision and recall of recognition. Quality of vehicle registration on the image sequence is estimated by the standard deviation of results from sample values. The article also shows usage prospects of proposed algorithms as a part of driver assistance system and unmanned vehicle control system.<|endoftext|>Flow2Code: from hand-drawn flowcharts to code execution
Flowcharts play an important role when learning to program by conveying algorithms graphically and making them easy to read and understand. Computer-based flowchart design requires the user to learn the software first, which often results in a steep learning curve. Paper-drawn flowcharts don't provide feedback. We propose a system that allows users to draw their flowcharts directly on paper combined with a mobile phone app that takes a photo of the flowchart, interprets it, and generates and executes the resulting code. Flow2Code uses off-line sketch recognition and computer vision algorithms to recognize flowcharts drawn on paper. To gain practice and feedback with flowcharts, the user needs only a pencil, white paper, and a mobile device. The paper describes a tested system and algorithmic model for recognizing and interpreting offline flowcharts as well as a novel geometric feature, Axis Aligned Score (AAS), that enables fast accurate recognition of various quadrilaterals.<|endoftext|>Evaluation of tissue factor procoagulant activity on the surface of feline leukocytes in response to treatment with lipopolysaccharide and heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum.
OBJECTIVE
To use a chromogenic assay to measure tissue factor (TF) activity on the cell surface and in whole cell lysates of feline monocytes in response to treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and fetal bovine serum (FBS).
ANIMALS
14 healthy cats.
PROCEDURES
Peripheral blood monocytes were isolated via density gradient centrifugation followed by adhesion to plastic. Tissue factor procoagulant activity was measured by use of an assay that detects TF-activated factor X, on the basis of cleavage of a chromogenic TF-activated factor X-dependent substrate. Activity was quantified by comparison with a serially diluted human recombinant TF-activated factor x curve.
RESULTS
The TF procoagulant activity assay was sensitive and specific for TF. Treatment with LPS stimulated TF procoagulant activity on the surface and in whole cell lysates of isolated feline leukocytes. The LPS response in intact cells was dose dependent and cell number dependent and was inhibited by FBS. Monocyte isolation was inefficient, with monocytes comprising a mean of 22% of the isolated cells.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
A TF-activated factor X-dependent chromogenic assay that uses human reagents successfully measured surface-expressed and intracellular TF activity of feline monocytes. Treatment with LPS induced TF expression on feline monocytes, but this response was inhibited by FBS. The chromogenic assay was a useful method for measuring TF procoagulant activity in feline cells in vitro and can be used as a research tool to investigate the role of cell-associated TF in thrombotic disorders in cats.<|endoftext|>BET Inhibitors as Anticancer Agents: A Patent Review.
BACKGROUND
Bromodomain and Extra Terminal (BET) family of bromodomain proteins (BRDs), comprised of four members in humans (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRDT), has emerged as a promising new cancer target class for small-molecule drug discovery.
OBJECTIVE
This review discusses the patent literature of BET inhibitors (2010-2017) for the treatment of cancer and other related diseases.
METHOD
BET proteins act as 'epigenetic readers' and bind to acetylated lysine residues on the tails of histones H3 and H4. Inhibition of BET proteins for a wide array of therapeutic applications has led to the discovery and development of various BET inhibitors.
RESULTS
The increasing significance of BET inhibitors as a potential anticancer therapeutic has led to an extensive patent activity both from academia and pharmaceutical industry. Several of the BET inhibitors are under clinical development for the treatment of various kinds of cancers.
CONCLUSION
The unmet needs and challenges associated with BET inhibition for cancer treatment have been portrayed in this review. An insight into the current developments and future prospects has been described as well.<|endoftext|>The Step By Step Process PPT template is professionally designed in blue and multicolor themes.

BACKGROUND
This study investigates the severeness of participation barriers in patients surviving pediatric posterior fossa tumors (PFT) many years after treatment. In the past, etiological studies on adverse outcome have primarily focused on pathobiological risk factors. The current analysis aims to investigate the importance of environmental variables.
METHODS
On average, ten years after diagnosis educational and social difficulties of 42 patients surviving pediatric PFT (mean age 17 years) were inquired using a self-constructed questionnaire following the Psychosocial Resource-Orientated Assessment (PREDI). Educational or social participation barriers were defined by self- and/or proxy-reported difficulties in school or in peer relationships. Accordingly, the children and adolescents were categorized into groups of adequate and limited participation. Subsequently, the study identified potential pathobiological (treatment type, hydrocephalus, tumor relapse, gender, age at diagnosis, seizures, cerebellar mutism) and environmental (parental and maternal education, siblings, main language, discrepancies between personal and environmental values, regular physical activity, private living space) risk factors and investigated whether patients with adequate and limited participation differed in the number of risk factors.
RESULTS
Almost one decade after treatment two-thirds of patients experienced educational and/or social difficulties. Patients with limited participation were more frequently associated with environmental factors such as low maternal education degree, siblings, main language other than German, discrepancies between societal and personal values and irregular physical activity, as well as the pathobiological risk factors treatment type, hydrocephalus, tumor relapse, cerebellar mutism, and seizures. These variables significantly discriminated between patients with and without limited participation.
CONCLUSIONS
Limited participation in patients treated for pediatric PFT is common. Next to pathobiological, also environmental risk factors play a major role in educational and social participation barriers. This highlights the fact that solely considering pathobiology is not sufficient when investigating risk factors for the emergence of late sequelae. Future etiological studies must adopt a biopsychosocial perspective.<|endoftext|>Origin and radiation of the house mouse: mitochondrial DNA phylogeny
On the basis of patterns of allele frequency variation in nuclear genes (Din et al., in press) it has been proposed that the house mouse M. musculus originated in the northern Indian subcontinent, from where it radiated in several directions to form the well‐described peripheral subspecies (M. m. domesticus, M. m. musculus and M. m. castaneus). Here we use a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) phylogeny to test this hypothesis and to analyse the historical and demographic events that have accompanied this differentiation. This marker also provides a powerful means to check for genetic continuity between the central and peripheral populations. We studied restriction site polymorphism of samples from India and the Middle East as well as samples from the rest of Eurasia and northern Africa. M. m. domesticus and M. m. musculus are both monophyletic for mtDNA and belong to the subspecies‐specific |
to do.
No school today for Presidents Day and it is a whopping 16 degrees out. Now what to do. I have the usual domestic tasks I should do, laundry, vacuum, shovel more snow, etc. I also have school related tasks (sort of) I should do.
Code up the assignments I gave my Java class last week. The book I am using does have coding solutions but he uses a custom class built specifically for this textbooks for inputs. I am not crazy about that so I have to code the assignments up using the Scanner class. I am also extremely rusty with Java so this is good practice. It allows me to see what is going to be difficult for the kids and what gaps the textbook leaves.
Work on transcribing some Unity videos. This is very time consuming and is turning into more of a long term objective. I pick at it a little at a time.
Preview the next series of YouTube videos I want the kids to work through. We have the VR up and working but all the VR videos focus on just that, getting it up and working. I want the kids to actually build a game which requires merging Unity 5 game making (non-VR) videos with Unity 2018 VR videos. Luckily I have a couple of students that are brighter than I am and can throw the integration project at them. They will get the process ironed out for me.
Work on the Coding with Minecraft curriculum. I contacted Microsoft about the initial errors I was seeing in their curriculum and they actually got back to me. I am now talking to CS curriculum coordinator for Microsoft. Now I have to find some 6-8 grade kids interested in Coding with Minecraft, learn Minecraft myself, edit the MS curriculum and get a club or class organized to use the curriculum. This is all Alfred’s fault. If he had not made this post I would not have gotten interested in the possibilities the curriculum offers the middle school kids. Bad, bad Alfred. Minecraft is not free but I have some grant money given to the school by a local tech business (Advanced Technology Group) that is only for programming education. Score.
Prep for my Stats class. We are starting the most difficult, in my mind, chapter in the book, hypothesis testing. Every year I look at this chapter and think on how I can make it make more sense. Still working on that.
Edit a new Java book for an author of several of the texts I use for Unity. Since I know Java so poorly this is more of a typo check and test run for the new book. I went through chapter one last night. Some typos and one major coding error. He asked for a two week return on the errors. I will get as far as I get.
I also have to take time away from the computer. Too much and I start to lose focus and stop enjoying the work. The eyes also start doing weird things.
I have to decide if I am going to run tonight. I have a circuit training class from 5:30 to 6:30 tonight. The fitness center has a nice indoor track so I do not have to freeze in order to run. I have taken a couple of weeks off of the running due to shin splints so I need to test the running again. I used to run mega miles with no shin splints but as I get older things are falling apart, especially if I push like I used to. I do need to keep in shape through the winter so I can be stupid in the summer. I have a 25-mile mountain bike race in Butte scheduled and a week long mountain biking trip in Oregon. I am the second oldest person signed up for the Butte race and I want to make sure the old guy (two years older) does not beat me. It is not the 25 miles that is bad, it is the altitude in Butte. The race starts at 6300 feet and goes up from there. Missoula is at about 3500 feet and the difference in oxygen is significant. (I mountain biked in Park City Utah years ago. I thought I was getting the flu or something during the ride. I got back to the bike shop I was parked at and was chatting with the shop owner. He said the shop was at 7000 feet and I had rode above 10,000 feet. Ugh.) I better run tonight.
There is a reason I always get one of the “troublemaker” ribbons for conference badges. Actually, conferences seem to run out of them so I bought my own. Guess I really do deserve them.
Glad it is not just me that thinks you cause “trouble”.<|endoftext|>Incomplete role reversal: The dilemma of hospitalization for the professional peer.
Role theory assumes that social setting in good part determines the individual's role performance and the way in which he and his behavior are perceived. After a period of time, in a particular setting, a person who performs a specific role becomes identified by himself and by others with that role. Once so identified, it is naturally very difficult for him to make radical changes in his role, or for others to allow him to change. It is the hypothesis of this paper that role reversal - the assumption of a new role diametrically opposed to that previously held - is never complete: vestigesof expectations and behavior from the previous role continue to be noted, and they distort acceptance of the new role by both the individual and the others around him. To illustrate this theory, this paper discusses the careers of psychiatric paraprofessionals who happened to be hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital where they formerly worked, and were treated there by their former peers. The discussion includes the implications of incomplete role reversal for the treatment of medical professionals, for the traditionally defined medical roles, and for role theory.<|endoftext|>An alternative method for mucosal flap closure during peroral endoscopic myotomy using an over-the-scope clipping device.
Maintaining the integrity of the mucosal flap and the reliable closure of mucosal entry during peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is paramount in preventing leakage of esophageal contents into the mediastinal space. We describe our experience with POEM, the problems encountered with closure of mucosal flaps, and successful closure with over-the-scope clips (OTSC). Two patients with achalasia underwent successful endoscopic myotomy during POEM. During both procedures, the proximal end of the longitudinal mucosal incision was noted to be gaping and completion of the closure with standard clips was unsuccessful. The sides of the flap were approximated using a Twin Grasper followed by placement of OTSC. Closure of the mucosal entry appeared to be complete at the end of the procedures. Esophagram the following day revealed no leaks in either patient. There were no other complications and patients were discharged home after 1 - 2 days of hospital observation. Patients reported complete resolution of achalasia symptoms during follow-up. We propose closure of mucosal incisions during POEM using one to two OTSC as an alternative to described techniques. The use of OTSC may simplify the procedure and result in a more durable (i. e. full-thickness) closure.<|endoftext|>So the benefits and the message are a little different. Work Placement The Work Placement gives you the chance to undertake a six month project with an organisation located regionally, nationally or internationally. I have to drive miles each week, my territory is massive and with the small amount of labor hours i am given it is impossible to live a normal life working for this company.
I will now describe and compare the most evident elements. Trustees meet monthly with one meeting each year reserved for strengthening governance practice and another reserved for site visits in the field. Many, if not nearly all Indian workers, jump at the chance to prove themselves.
It takes lots of preparation and hard work before the dog gets to the set. The Girl Scouts are especially desirable because the cookies are 1 unique and 2 rare.
Since then, the Internet has grown and evolved more than anyone could have imagined, and yet there are still many information challenges in the world today. So the message is this: Such trustee may discuss the grant or transaction with other trustees, officers and employees, and may be counted in determining a quorum.
This time… Wal-Mart is knocking off the Girl Scouts. Officers and trustees may be required to file additional statements to comply with governmental requirements or ethical standards adopted by the foundation. The shape is the same, a rectangle.
Now in its tenth year and very popular with more than 5 million viewers every day. It can be said bowel problems are considered as a prison. If only one elephant is required it is still necessary to transport the whole family. We also support tax policies that provide greater clarity, encourage job growth, and make the US competitive with the rest of the world.
Trustees, officers and employees who have decision-making authority over grants, contracts or other transactions involving the commitment of foundation resources shall annually declare any affiliations with organizations, contractors or persons which could create a conflict of interest.
A trustee shall refrain from voting on any grant or other transaction where a conflict of interest exists. For the masses, very little resources are spent. Instead of containing fibers, it contains antioxidants.
Education and Workforce At Google, our employees are one of our greatest assets - building innovative technology, growing our business, creating a positive working environment, and ensuring that we maintain the trust of our users. It obviously refers to the brand benefits.
Over a three month period, you will work alongside an organisation to identify and explore a real organisational issue. This is emphasized on the whole packaging.
Thus, the key brand benefits are again highlighted but the delivery to the consumers may be problematic. To realize the full potential of AI, Google supports flexible policies that drive innovation while providing appropriate safeguards, and calls on governments to support open research that advances the state of the art and investigates novel applications and thoughtful development.

Thanks!
I live in the Charleston area and already have many good beach hunting spots, but I would like to get into some inland hunting. I am heading to Summerville next weekend to look around in some ditches and streams, but I am not sure exactly where to go, or the best ways to hunt in Summerville. Any advice? Thanks.
This is my image collection from samples of beach sand from Edisto Beach, SC. I hope to add more images and inforamtion to this thread over time, kind of as a way to archive my exploration here. Some background info: Microscope is Amscope M120 with a 1.3 mp digital cam, the mfg claims "the cam is about equal to a 40X eyepiece" (whatever THAT means...) With 4X and 10X objectives, this gives me 2 usable settings of 160X and 400X. Most images will be the 160X variety, the higher magnification not so great at 3-D objects. The best I can figure so far is at "160X" the field of view of the images is between 1mm and 1.4mm. Not all of the images are fossils, some are just cool things I found along the way. Mostly, I'm hunting forams, still learning how to ID them. If you recognize something go ahead and shout it out :-) The samples are a mix of pretty much everything from the oligocene to the present, megladon teeth are occasionally found on this beach along with thousands of smaller teeth, turtle fossils, fish, coral, sea shell, even mammal fossil bone. For this search I started with a wash to pan out any light weight organics, then washed through a fine kitchen strainer and cooked the sample dry in a toaster over. The material on the beach can range from super fined grained to shell banks with 4"+ shells and frags. At the scale of the strainer and microscope I have available small shark teeth and fish parts are mostly screened out, but they can be present in unfiltered sand. OK....enough with the boring stuff....how about some pretty pics?
Vertebra From Savannah River?
I found this on a beach in the Savannah River. I think its some sort of vertebra or vertebral disc but I'm really not sure. Thank for any help!

Although psychiatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder affect a number of brain regions and produce a complex array of clinical symptoms, basic phenotypes likely exist at the level of single neurons and simple networks. Being highly heritable, it is hypothesized that these disorders are amenable to cell-based studies in vitro. Using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons and/or induced neurons from fibroblasts, limitless numbers of live human neurons can now be generated from patients with a genetic background permissive to the disease state. We predict that cell-based studies will ultimately contribute to our understanding of the initiation, progression and treatment of these psychiatric disorders.<|endoftext|>How to Enter and Exit Android Download Mode/Odin Mode?
I'm working on Samsung Galaxy Tab tablets. I have not being able to find the answer to this very simple question: Is Download Mode Samsung's Bootloader? If not what is the difference?
Android devices come with different booting modes such as Recover mode, Safe Mode, and more. In addition to these modes, there is also the Android Download mode. Samsung users may call it Odin Mode. Nevertheless, Android Download or Odin mode is an advanced mode apt for advanced users who experiments with their devices and systems to discover hidden potentials. If you’re on this page, it implies that you want to enter download mode on your device. Or it could be that you have used it but failed to exit the mode. No matter what your scenario is, read on. In this post, we’ll walk you through how to enter and exit download mode on Android devices in detail.
Part 1. What Is Download Mode in Android/Samsung?
Part 5. How to Enter Download Mode on LG Phones?
Part 6. How to Exit Android Download Mode?
While most Android smartphones come with a regular bootloader and fastboot mode, OEMs such as Samsung and LG devices entails the Download mode.
All smartphones with the Download mode provide support for firmware flashing through a manufacturer-specific official program like Samsung Odin and LG Flash tool. That’s why the Samsung Download mode is also called the Odin mode. When entered this mode, your Samsung device can download firmware binaries via the Odin program. Flashing the firmware files to your Android device can help you recover your device from a boot loop, download/update software, and restore it to stock.
As we mentioned before, Android devices come with numerous different modes and the most common ones you’ll hear are Bootloader, download, and recovery mode. There is a significant difference between them. So, let’s know what it is before you learn how to enter and exit your Galaxy S7 download mode.
Bootloader is a software that runs each and every time your device starts up. It tells the device what programs/applications to load to make your device run. In short, it starts up your device’s operating system when switching on the device.
Download mode aims at downloading packages or firmware in Android devices. It’s a state used for updating system or ROM flashing in the Android device.
Recovery mode can help you gain access to some core functioning in the Android device, for instance, resetting the device, installing updates, data cleaning, backup and restore data, etc. The mode is commonly used when the Android device isn’t acting correctly.
As you can now see that the purpose of each mode is different, so you should use it in accordance with the unique situation.
If you want a one-click solution to enter or exit download mode on Samsung/Android devices, then look no further from Tenorshare ReiBoot for Android. The tool has a very straightforward process to enter and exit the Android download mode for free. On top of all, it works on any Android device. So, no more hassle of going through complex steps to enter/exit download mode on your Android smartphone when you can simply use ReiBoot.
Step 1. Connect your device to computer via USB cable. On the main interface of this program, select “Enter Download Mode”.
Step 2. Once your device is connected successfully, just follow the onscreen instructions to get your device into the download mode.
If your device is stuck in download mode, you can connect it to computer via the USB cable. And open UltFone Android System Repair on the computer. The “One Click to Exit Download Mode” is highlighted. Click it and wait for a while to get your device to normal.
You can enter download mode on your Samsung device using key combinations. It is indeed the most common method to enter Samsung download mode but the process varies from one device to another.
Step 2: Press and hold down the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys at the same time for around 2-3 seconds.
Step 3: Release the buttons and then press the Volume Up key to enter the Download mode.
If you’re using a Samsung Galaxy A8 device with Power and Volume keys, then follow the below steps to enter Samsung Odin mode.
Step 2: Press and hold down the Volume Down, Volume Up, and Power keys at once for around 2-3 seconds to enter the download mode.
Step 2: Press and hold down the Volume Down, Power, and Bixby keys at the same time for about 2-3 seconds.
Step 3: You’ll be asked to press the Volume Up key, so do it.
Samsung devices such as Galaxy S20/Note 10/A90/A80/A70/A50/A40, etc comes with Volume and Power-cum-Bixby Keys. It implies that Samsung has merged the Power and Bixby keys. On such devices, follow the below steps to enter the download mode.
Step 2: Press and hold down the Power and Volume Up keys at once for about 4 to 5 seconds.
Step 3: Your smartphone will boot into the Recovery Mode. Use the Volume/Up down button to navigate and use the Power key to choose options in the Recovery mode.
Step 4: Choose the “Reboot to bootloader” option in the recovery menu.
Step 5: Your device will soon boot into the Odin or Download mode.
Step 2: Press and hold down the Volume Up key.
Step 3: Connect your device to the computer with the help of a digital cable.
Step 4: In a while, you’ll see that the device has entered the download mode. You can now start flashing with the LG Flash Tool.
You can follow the above steps on almost every LG device.
Is your Samsung S6 stuck in download mode? Don’t know how to get out of Android download mode? No worries!! After learning how to get into download mode on Android devices, you must know the process to come out of it as well. There are three common ways to get out of the Android download mode, so let’s have a look.

Aromatherapy is a great way to create a soothing environment and help calm the mind.As long as you fill your device with oils and a scent from a reputable brand, your diffuser will pump a relaxing, health-boosting scent throughout your home.Before you buy, consider these factors in selecting the best essential oil diffuser.Do you want a continuous run option for aroma and mist?These are all important questions to consider when purchasing a diffuser.Automatic shutoff: Even if you're typically not a forgetful person, choosing a diffuser with auto shutoff is a smart move.
It isn't a sure-fire way to make your sweaty gym clothes smell like roses, but a new fabric might be able to give off a pleasant lemony aroma at the very least.Processes already exist to embed fabric with scents like those from aromatherapy essential oils, but now researchers have combined the idea with concepts taken from advanced smart fabrics.A team of engineers from the University of Minho in Portugal have developed two ways to modify cotton fabric so that it lets off a citronella aroma when it comes in contact with sweat.Their methods for using sweat against itself are outlined in the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.The scientists used a protein found in pigs' noses (yes, hog snouts could be the key to sweet-smelling sweat) that binds to scent molecules.They also attached what's known as a carbohydrate-binding module, which binds to cotton.
With increased adoption in various end-use industries including cosmetics and personal care—specifically perfumery, aromatherapy, food processing, and pharmaceutical, demand for patchouli oil is projected to grow.However, the patchouli oil demand is anticipated to remain elastic as farmers in the Sumatra Region of Indonesia—largest producer of patchouli oil, are making a shift towards other crops owing to price volatility, thereby impacting the overall development of global patchouli market.However, to reverse such market dynamics associated with patchouli oil, global manufacturers are making notable investment to provide sustainable livelihood to Indonesian farmers of patchouli plants.According to a new research released by Future Market Insights (FMI), the market for patchouli oils in MEA and developing economies of APAC will record comparatively higher growth than in developed markets.FMI forecasts a steady revenue growth the global patchouli oils market at a sluggish rate of 2.8% during 2018–2028, with the market valuation reaching US$ 67.5 Million by the end of 2019.In terms of volume, 1,352.2 metric tons of patchouli oil is projected to be shipped by 2019.Patchouli Oil Market Structure AnalysisProduced in region pockets of Indonesia, India, China, Malaysia, and Taiwan, patchouli oil is mostly dominated by regional players including PT Mitra Ayu Adi Pratama, PT Aroma Essence Prima, Nusaroma PT, and Eastern Agencies Aromatics Pvt.Ltd, accounting for nearly 45-60 percent market share.

A most interesting Christmas card from the Royal Irish Regiment. The card is just post World War One era. This is evident as internally the card lists all the regimental battle honours from Namur in 1695 right through to France 1914-15-16-17-18.
The card comprises two rectangular pages, the outer being a buff coloured hard card with gold embossed regimental badge of the Royal Irish Regiment and also batallion designation – “2nd. Bn. THE ROYAL IRISH REGt.”
To the left edge of the card is a silk cord with the regimental colours of blue, red and green.
The inside left part of the paper inset page has the battle honours of the Royal Irish Regiment and on the opposite side is the Christmas and New Year greetings.
The card is signed in pencil with the following :- “a/c 2. M.S. Chard”. The card is over 12cms in length by about 9cms in width.
A nice piece of rather unusualy regimental material to Ireland’s oldest regiment.<|endoftext|>Launch your journey. Pursue your purpose. Experience a new way of living.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld an National Labor Relations Board ruling against Whole Foods’ “no recording” policy. Whole Food’s policy prohibited all recordings without management approval. This prohibition included conversations, phone calls and meetings. The company claimed that the policy was intended to “promote employee communication in the workplace” because employees could speak without worrying about being recorded.
Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) guarantees employees their right to “engage in … concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.” Employers that interfere with that right have committed an unfair labor practice. Both parties in this suit agreed that the “no recording” policy was not intended to restrict Section 7 rights or created in response to union activity.
However, in reviewing the policy and its potential implications, the Second Circuit agreed with the NLRB that the policy was overbroad and could potentially limit employee rights under Section 7. “Employees would reasonable construe the language to prohibit recording protected by the [NLRA]” It was noted by the circuit court that a policy could be crafted that places some limits on audio recording in the workplace but does not violate the NLRA.<|endoftext|>Boost your mobility
Electromobility goes one step further
The installation of the new SuperChargy charging stations, offering ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles, started recently. In the near future, you will be able to take advantage of 88 SuperChargy charging points available at the main road and motorway service areas and at certain Park & Ride (P+R) car parks, corresponding to 19 locations strategically chosen in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to provide even greater support in terms of mobility.
These 88 SuperChargy direct current (DC) stations are in addition to the Chargy terminals already in place. 29 of them will allow loads up to 160 kW (compared to 22 kW for Chargy charging stations), and the other 55 will deliver up to 350 kW per socket depending on the site configuration and the capabilities of each vehicle.
Even faster and more convenient
In the same way as on Chargy terminals, identification and payment of consumption on SuperChargy stations is done via a contactless smart card (mKaart) - (your current Chargy card works on the SuperChargy terminals) or via any other badge distributed by a charging service provider already operational on the Chargy network.
The price per kWh on the SuperChargy terminals is different from that offered on the Chargy charging stations. For more information, please consult your charging service provider to find out the exact rate that is applied.
Users of SuperChargy terminals who do not have a contract with a charging service provider can also pay by credit card, without entering a binding commitment, for a fixed price displayed on the SuperChargy terminal screen.
Note
A test phase is ongoing until mid-2021. We apologize for any problem or inconvenience you may encounter while using a SuperChargy charging station during this period.
Find our charging stations
The installation of the SuperChargy stations on Luxembourg territory will extend until 2023. This map shows all the locations of the charging stations although they are not yet available.

In their official duties, Foot Guard members rarely use bullets. The military department issues them weapons and ammunition for required training each summer at a National Guard camp in Niantic, but those are kept under the military department\’s control.
The Foot Guard trustees say the ammunition in the High Street building was their personal property, not issued by the state, and should have been left alone. In 2009, they sought permission to sue the state — which has immunity against most lawsuits unless it gives permission for a suit to move forward — in an attempt to get the ammunition back or at least get compensated for it. The request is still pending.<|endoftext|>Carroll/ Fletcher gallery, London, United Kingdom

Chloe Sims from The Only Way is Essex talks about "reality and created fictions" at Remote Control launch
Eva and Franco Mattes’ exploration of art in the online dimension spans the internet’s breadth of possibilities at its most inclusive while providing an access to its darkest, most disturbing aspects. Re-enactments (2007-2010) saw the pair perform live restagings of historic art performances including Marina Abramovic’s Imponderabillia and Gilbert and George’s The Singing Sculpture in the virtual world of Second Life; In No Fun (2010), Franco’s apparent suicide in a webcam-based chat room prompted a chain of disconcerting reactions from users – laughter, scepticism, even, reportedly, masturbation.
The Italian duo - known collectively as 0100101110101101.ORG - open their first solo show in London this week with the suitably vague title Anonymous, Untitled, Dimensions Variable. Inherently difficulty to define, the art at their London show is emblematic of their approach. As commerce in art becomes an increasingly hot topic, Phaidon talks to the pair - who chose to answer as a singular unit- about the issue of copyright, fakes and ownership of art in the online sphere and what it means to collect and own digital art.
Do people who come across your work online know its art?
In most of our works there is a first phase in which people are not aware they are part of an art piece, most of the time it involves some sort of fake news, so they get involved in a very spontaneous way. We often incorporate their reactions in the final work. Once the piece is revealed, it |
God in my heart saying: “just be still.” And so I tried doing that (so hard), but I found out God wanted me to be in a season of rest and growth. Growth as in growing as a leader, as a better servant, as a person to love people better. And I look back now knowing that I didn’t need to search and wear myself out by trying to answer that question, but to rest in God and see there was a bigger picture at hand. People changed my life when I lived there and I continue to look back at that experience and see purpose that I didn’t see in the present moment.
So take a moment to be still and look. The behind the scenes work that nobody sees = purpose. Taking time to sit still in the Lord’s presence = purpose. Taking time to be a Younglife (had to throw this in here…love you Younglife-er’s…THE BEST!!!) or youth group leader = purpose.Whether you’re in school like me or in the workplace = purpose.
Open your eyes. See where you can make a dent in the ordinary, see what God can do through you. Be patient, persevere and you might get an answer. You may be in the ordinary BUT you could find yourself in an extraordinary Esther situation: “And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
You might run into something secretly incredible.

Couldn't be bothered with make-up today. That's where bright Lip Stick comes in really handy! I knew this Topshop Lip Stick would be a good investment! Took me about 2 minutes to apply this lip stick and some mascara, very handy when you have a baby who is demanding attention all the time!
Am hating my hair at the moment! So much so, that I'm wearing it up almost every day now which I never normally do. The hat is also helping matters, but I just can't decide what to doooo! That's the problem of having your hair in the same style and same colour for donkeys years, it's hard to break away. Take Heather from Effies Make-up box, her hair has been almost every colour possible and she always looks amazing! I guess you have to experiment with lots of different styles before you find one that suits you, and I guess thats all part of finding your personal style. And as that is partly what I started this blog for, I guess I should be a little braver and go for something new!
I like to think that the summer is almost here, but we all know the British weather has other ideas. I just hope it warms up soon because Alice has so many beautiful summer dresses and they are all being hidden under thick cardigans and jumpers at the moment! Poor Alice.

I try to stay out of the music prediction game because if I've learned anything from my time working the periphery of the music industry, it's the futility of predictions. Major labels devote literally millions of dollars to finding the next big song, the next big artist, and they're wrong more often than they're right. So I recognize the narcissism in thinking that I, a guy with a laptop and a beard and a penchant for linking to amusing GIFs, knows something they don't.
BUT.....I'm putting myself out there this time. I'm calling it. Boogie's "Oh My" is going to be the song of the summer.
Ok, rewind. Deep breath. Stay with me. Now, I'm not talking about song of the summer on the level of "Fancy" or "Happy." If you really want to take over swimsuit season across mainstream America you need a song you can play at a wedding and get everyone dancing, and "Boogie" is not that song. (Although if you do play "Oh My" at your wedding I can pretty much guarantee your love will last forever.)
I don't mean summer for everyone, I mean summer for hip-hop. I mean something closer to "Hot Nigga" or "No Flex Zone" or more recently "Trap Queen," which was the song of last winter. The kind of song every DJ feels obligated to work into their set, the kind of song you may even grow to hate through the sheer force of repetition, but then you're in the right place at the right time and as the kids would say it's lit and you can't front, yeah, it's a fun song.
"Oh My" is going to become that song. All the ingredients are there, all it needs is for someone to apply a little heat so it can really get cookin'. The beat is an absolute banger - when the bass drops at the :20 second mark my blood pressure automatically raises to heart attack levels - and once the hook gets in your head it's going to have to be surgically removed.
And let's be honest about the times we live in, the song's also eminently meme-able. The second "Oh My" blows up on Vine the way "U Guessed It" blew up, this thing's taking off like Diddy from a crime scene. The song's taken over so much space in my brain I've ever started working it into my every day conversations.
My Wife: "How about tacos for dinner tonight?"
Me: "OH MY GOODNESS!!!"
My Wife: "We're not having sex again until you stop saying that all the time."
Me (quietly): "Oh my....."
I'll admit though, I do have a flicker of doubt about whether "Oh My" can really explode. Frankly, I'm not sure if it's dumb enough. Yes, it's a banger, yes it's got a four-syllable hook that can be screamed at maximum volume, but there's some depth here too. I'm not saying Boogie is the second coming of Nas, but get a few listens deep and you'll realize there's some serious wordplay happening underneath all that bass.
Can a song with the phrase "All I knew was pain, I ain't ever knew no glory" really become a club anthem? I still think so, but the club might actually be so allergic to anything even resembling pain that it won't tolerate "Oh My." If that's the case than I'll just have to take the loss, but "Oh My" has prompted me to go back to Boogie's other music and aside from any predictions I've been digging his music. Songs like "Bitter Raps" and "Let Me Rap" reveal another young voice from the west coast who's not afraid to push creatively. So worst case scenario "Oh My" never really gets any bigger than it is now and I've discovered a new artist who deserves to be on my radar. That's not much of a worse case.
I don't know if Boogie is actually mindie, what major players he may or may not have working behind-the-scenes, if Hot 97 will ever play "Oh My." Those are all forces beyond my control. But I do know I love the way Boogie switches up his voice between the hook and the verses, that I've watched the video enough times to realize that girl in the red with the curly hair looks like she'd bury a body in the backyard for her man, that I've literally listened to this song 100 times and I'm still down for 100 more.
So when Boogie becomes the next big thing this summer, remember this moment. You'll be able to find me celebrating in the club like OH MY GOODNESS!!!

Warner started by belting Mohit Sharma for couple of boundaries - one on square of the wicket and the other was a straight hit. |
the pictures had been faked, or heavily retouched . . . or just real women to begin with. I’d finally have something to hold over Josh’s head; the ‘Great Scammer’ himself scammed! They couldn’t REALLY do that . . . make a man look that good . . . with just a few pounds of plastic, no matter how high tech the material.
Could they?
What if they could?
Was I ready to hold up my end of the deal?
Would I be able to? I’m a normal heterosexual male. I don’t know how to behave like a woman. I’d never even considered the prospect. I had a sinking suspicion that there was more to it than tits and ass and not having to shave your face each morning.
By mid-morning Friday, I was beginning to feel a case of butterflies, watching out the window for the parcel service to show up.
But they hadn’t shown by 5 PM when Josh got home from work.
He was furious. He called a toll free number we had for Nu-Gen. We got a recorded message stating that business hours were from 8 AM to 5 PM CST. We called the parcel service. A professionally helpful woman tried a “trace” for us, but the computer was fouled up and she couldn’t give us any helpful information. She suggested we call back Monday. I think Josh was beginning to suspect that he’d been ‘had’, but wouldn’t give me the satisfaction of admitting it. I quickly headed upstairs and left him to rattle around looking for something to vent his anger and embarrassment on.
**********
Josh had left for a Saturday at work and I was sitting watching an old war movie on the “Nostalgia Cinema” when the doorbell rang. I’d put the thought of the suit out of my mind. The chime jarred me back to all my previous anxieties.
Sure enough, it was the parcel service. A perky little brunette apologized for the mix up. Apparently one of their jets had had engine trouble and had to divert. The parcel was tied up all last night while they got a spare plane out and transferred the cargo. She “hoped I understood . . . sign here please.”
The box was about two feet, by one foot, by six inches.
I put it on the dining table and used my thumbnail to open the tape. The first thing I saw was a folio sized “Manual for Use” with the familiar green marble background. I pulled it out and underneath was what had to be “The Suit”.
I think I was actually a little relieved when I saw it. It was a scam, of course. The Suit was just a thin parcel of flesh colored plastic (with some fuzzy, short, blonde fur at one end) in a clear plastic wrapper. I think I smiled as I picked it up and turned it over in my hands. Lots of folds but no discernible features. And if that was ‘over the shoulder length blonde hair’, somebody didn’t know where shoulders were. The fuzz couldn’t be more than an inch long. I was going to toss the thing back in the box and go back to the movie when I saw a little slip of pink paper that had been under the suit. In bold black letters it commanded “READ ME FIRST”
I picked it up and read it.
“Don’t be discouraged by first impressions of the I-2000S! We at Nu-Gen assure you; follow the enclosed instructions and this quality product will meet or exceed all your expectations! Nu-Gen Inc.”
Thinking that somebody somewhere must be laughing at the thought “the damn fool might fall for that and actually read the manual!” I set the note down and . . . skimmed the manual.
After the first few pages I gathered that the whole thing depended on two factors; moisture and heat.
According to the manual; the bulk of the suit was composed of a polymer “skin” that perfectly mimicked human flesh’s color, texture and elasticity. I gathered it was quite thin, only a few mils thick, but very durable. I spotted an interesting fact in the manual; Human skin, the outer skin, is actually insensitive. It’s just dead tissue. Our sense of touch is based in the inner, living layer of flesh. The manual claimed that because of the thinness of the “skin” there would be only the slightest reduction in “tactile sensation”, except in those areas where the suit “added tissue”. This “adding of tissue” was accomplished by placing numerous pads of various sizes and shapes throughout the suit. These pads were used to add contour and feature to the “finished form”. Supposedly, the pads were made out of some very interesting stuff. At a temperature exceeding 108 degrees, the pads became absorbent. Between 82 and 108 degrees, the pads retained moisture. Below 82 degrees, they released moisture. When saturated, the manual claimed that the pads were able to convincingly mimic either fatty or muscle tissue depending on their placement and construction.
But the real secret of the suit was “memory plastic”. Apparently, memory plastic was a fairly new development, rising out of research into materials for use in outer space construction. Simply stated; memory plastic could be “trained” to assume a specific shape. Bend it into any other shape, apply a specific stimulus, and it returned to it’s “learned” shape. Apply a different stimulus, and it “relaxed”. Interesting, if true!
Woven throughout the suit were thousands of “memory threads.” Supposedly, they had been “taught” how to take my measurements and by contracting, mold them into a “nominal female physique”. The stimulus required was moist heat. A very specific temperature too. Like the “pads”, the “threads” reacted differently to different temperatures. At 110 plus degrees, the threads “relaxed” into what the manual referred to as their “neutral” state. Drop the temperature to a range of 90 to 104 degrees, (body temperature . . . more or less), and they snapped into their “learned” shape. Drop the temperature below 90 degrees and they went into what the manual called their “dormant” state. I was to believe that the thing in the box was the suit in its “dormant” state.
The manual said that the first thing I needed to do to use the suit was to fill the bathtub with water heated to between 110 to 120 degrees, (“approaching the hottest of baths”), and just drop the suit in.
Imagine that; “dehydrated woman . . . just add hot water”.
**********
Taking the suit and the instruction manual, and leaving the rest in the box, I went upstairs and started the tub filling. Again, my curiosity had the better of me. I just had to try this out. When the tub was about one quarter full, I suddenly realized that I had no idea of how to measure the temperature of the water. “Approaching the hottest of baths” was rather vague. Considering the cost of the suit, I didn’t want to run the risk of damaging it with water of the wrong temperature. Sitting on the edge of the tub, I wracked my brain for a solution. The thermometer in the medicine cabinet only went up to 103 or something. I didn’t have an outdoor thermometer, and I doubted it would go high enough anyway if I did. How to measure temperature? Then I remembered we had a meat thermometer in one of the drawers down in the kitchen. Josh and I had used it (or perhaps I should say “misused” it ) last Thanksgiving to incinerate a turkey. Leaving the water running, I ran downstairs and rummaged through the drawers till I found it. Taking it back upstairs, I was pleased to see that the tub was now half full. Shutting off the taps, I stuck the thermometer in the water. The needle quickly rose to 117 degrees. I congratulated myself on the good guess at the faucet settings.
Picking up the suit, I worried at the plastic sealing for a moment then finally tore off a corner with my teeth. The rest of the wrapper came off easily and I was left holding a ridiculous looking, papery feeling “cutout” of a vaguely feminine form, topped by a bristly thatch of blond fuzz. I stood looking at it for a moment feeling like six kinds of fool for proceeding with this farce, or ever entertaining the thought that this suit could possibly make good on any of its claims. But the money was spent and I felt that I had to follow the charade through to the end. Sighing, I gently set the suit into the hot water.
It promptly sank.
I glared at it for a moment, then went back downstairs to get a beer. As I trudged back up the stairs carrying the “cold one”, I remembered that the manual had stated that the suit needed to soak for no less than ten minutes. Passing the bathroom without a glance, I went into my bedroom and pulled off my tee shirt and jeans, then my socks. Maybe it would work . . . what the hell . . . why not? I started to pull off my briefs, but then stopped. I don’t know exactly why. Perhaps I’d just reached my level of discomfort, and the thought of checking on that ridiculous suit in the nude was more than I could take. Carrying my beer, clad only in my skivvies, I padded back to the bathroom and glanced into the tub.
And dropped my beer in surprise.
A nude woman, her head crowned by a full golden mane, floated partially submerged in my bathtub. |

Sapphire had the correct approach with their HD7970 6GB Toxic Edition. It held the highest core overclocked speeds at 1,200mhz, it had a memorable catch phrase with ‘Lethal Boost’ and they doubled the memory count from 3GB to 6GB.
All talking points to raise awareness, and as a marketing exercise alone it was a success for the company. That said, availability was limited and the price was high.
Club3D could find their HD7970 RoyalAce may struggle for attention, however it really is a very impressive graphics card that deserves more than a passing footnote in history.
The cooler is not the most attractive design, but the company have intentionally designed it not to overhang the PCB. The dual slot cooler also forces hot air outside the chassis. Both may seem like minor points when contemplating a purchase, but they are actually important considerations.
The proprietary two fan cooler is capable, and can hold its own against the leading solutions on the market today. Our tests show that it held an excellent thermal curve, peaking in the mid 60c zone under gaming load. It isn’t the quietest cooler on the market, but it doesn’t emit a noise level that is likely to annoy many gamers. Our equipment measured an output very close to the Sapphire HD7970 6GB Toxic Edition.
The Club3D HD7970 RoyalAce ships with additional available headroom, even if we factor in that all cards will be slightly different. Our sample had almost 90mhz available on the core before artifacting would occur, and the memory could be pushed to almost 1,600mhz. It is unlikely you will need to overclock this card further, although with a high resolution three screen Eyefinity setup, it can nudge the frame rates up a little.
On a completely unrelated point, we always like to see a high end solution shipping with noteable headroom, as the core is not running close to breaking point.
In the United Kingdom, you can pick this card up for around £330 inc vat. With such a high core clock speed and such a competitive price we highly recommend the Club3D HD7970 RoyalAce. It isn’t the best HD7970 on the market, but it does offer a very heady combination of competitive pricing, excellent performance and stellar cooling capabilities.

Chancellor Helmut Kohl and Social Democratic opposition leader Willy Brandt reflected the new atmosphere when their differences erupted into a shouting match on live television Sunday night.
``They did everything but slap each other's faces,'' said one German observer later.
Mr. Brandt said he believes the Christian Democratic chancellor and Mr. Reagan are ganging up on him, with Dr. Kohl somehow having convinced the President that Brandt practices what Kohl described Sunday night as ``primitive anti-Americanism.'' It was that remark from Kohl that triggered an explosion by Brandt.
At the core of the argument was Reagan's refusal to receive Brandt either in Washington or during his recent stay in Bonn.
Kohl said Reagan's visit to West Germany on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II was a voyage of reconciliation.
An angry Hans-Jochen Vogel, the parliamentary leader of Brandt's Social Democratic Party, disputed that, saying that it could not be much of a reconciliation that failed to find time for the US President to receive Willy Brandt, who not only had fought the Nazis as early as 1932, but also was the only German to have received the Nobel Peace Prize since 1945.
Brandt's angry reaction to the Kohl comment was particularly surprising because Kohl and Brandt were said to have good personal relations. Kohl and Helmut Schmidt, the last Social Democratic chancellor, heartily disliked each other.
Younger politicians on both sides were stunned by the angry outbursts of their leaders.
The three Christian Democrats did not reply publicly.

LABELLE, Florida (September 15, 2006) -- In an effort to reduce the exploding mosquito population in the wake of tropical storm Ernesto, Hendry County announced today that aerial spraying for mosquitoes will begin Saturday, Sept.16 and run thru Sunday, Sept.17. According to aerial applicator officials, more than 65,000 acres will be treated.
According to a press release from Clarke Mosquito Control: The mosquito broods, or number of mosquitoes that are going to hatch, are going to be huge, said Lester Baird, County Administrator. Weve already seen a doubling of mosquito counts in the course of 10 days due to the recent storm, and we believe they will double again. This situation requires an aerial application with a fixed-wing airplane to treat a relatively large area in a short period of time to abruptly break the breeding cycle of the mosquitoes.
Communities that will be treated include: Felda, Pioneer, Montura Ranches and Hookers Point. Applications will begin at dusk and run to approximately 1:30 a.m. Clarke Mosquito Control will administer the aerial application. Last month, Hendry County awarded Clarke a long-term contract to implement comprehensive surveillance and mosquito control services in those areas for the county.
In addition to this weeks aerial application, Clarke is overseeing and implementing an integrated mosquito control program that provides surveillance of the mosquito population, larval control, adult mosquito control utilizing aerial spraying and increased truck spraying. Clarke also plans to provide public education on mosquito-borne disease prevention (such as West Nile Virus) and information on how Hendry County residents can help prevent mosquito breeding in their own yards.
Confusion Reigns On Where And Who Does Spraying
For "up-to-date mosquito control" steps including spraying by trucks that the county is taking, Clarke says to look at the county's website for planned control activities for the week. We looked and didn't find anything there. Clarke also says "To report heavy mosquito annoyance situations, call Clarkes Hendry County Mosquito Hotline at (800) 203-6485." We called and found it was answered by a Clarke employee who could not tell us any information about where the treatments were to be located, and took our address assuring us that we would be put on a list for spray treatment. Investigation revealed however, that Hendry county has not authorized mosquito spraying for large areas of Hendry county including 99% of the homes in Port LaBelle. Port LaBelle's Laurel Village, Eucalyptus Village and Country Village are not covered by the Clarke contract, although we could not get that information from Clarke. Hendry Special Districts office told us that the Port LaBelle Community Development District or Barron Water Control sprays Port LaBelle. Well, yes and no.
The Port LaBelle CDD does spray area in Port LaBelle EXCEPT Laurel Oaks, Eucalyptus Village, and Country Village where nearly all homes are. Barron Water Control District does no spraying although they do mow the canal and drainage ditches regularly. Port LaBelle Unit 4's business office (Eucalyptus Village) said they have done mosquito spraying in the past but have no licensed spraying company to do the work now. They also explained that they only spray after a certain amount of complaints are received at the office.<|endoftext|>Pinnock's Giggle Water

How It Began
Alex began life staked out in front of toy stores with his dad, an avid die-cast cars collector. Alex's dad had been a collector for years and found himself becoming more and more frustrated, chasing the latest items from large retail stores. Like many collectors, he found himself staked out in front of stores hours before they opened in hopes of being the first to grab the fresh toy on the shelf. Initially Alex found this added to the excitement of life, but it wasn't long before his dad's passion grew to an obsession and started to embarrass Alex and the rest of the family. Alex knew there was a better way and he inspired his dad to build his own company based on his extensive knowledge of the die-cast cars industry. Being the persuasive individual he is, he convinced his dad that he (Alex) should be named CEO, at about the same time he started tooling around on his own two feet.
It wasn't long before Alex's little brother, Jack came along. Jack had some brilliant and persuasive ideas of his own and he wanted his share of the family pie. "Share" was an important word in the house at the time and he wanted his. Also, as he was learning his letters it became obvious his name was not on the door. So, there was a slight retooling of the company and its name was updated to A&J Toys.
The goal at A&J Toys is to provide customers with the collectible toys they seek at collector-friendly pricing. In doing so, we hope to save countless other families the embarrassment that can be aroused from collector-focused parents who will do whatever it takes to claim the latest, greatest toy.
What We Do
A&J Toys primarily focuses on die-cast collectibles. Leveraging our strong relationship as a distributor for Mattel, we often are the first to carry certain items. Our product offering has expanded to include Barbie. We are also a licensed distributor for JADA and carry a selection of Johnny Lightning and Green Light collectibles. Much of our business is geared toward case sales to smaller retailers and large collectors both domestically and internationally. However, we always enjoy working with moms and dads during the holidays to find that perfect gift of a rare toy.

It’s a haven for birds as well as mammals, giving you the chance to experience excellent birdwatching within this idyllic chateau estate.
Just imagine spotting a hen harrier swooping low over a meadow, or a treecreeper slowly working its way up a tree trunk… These birdwatching tips will help you see more during your stay.
Take a guide book with you
Whether birdwatching is a new passion or you’re a seasoned birder, there will always be more species to discover, especially when you’re abroad. There are several bird identification books inside the house for you to make use of. When you spot a long-eared owl or Montagu’s harrier, you’ll know it!
Get the best views with binoculars
A lot of your time spent birdwatching will be looking upwards into the sky. And when you do spot a bird, you’ll be treated to an even more spectacular viewing while they’re air-borne than you’d often get if they’re perched. This makes binoculars essential.
You’ll be able to see the detail, pick out the patterns and colours in the bird’s plumage and get the best views possible – all of which becomes very exciting when there’s a booted eagle soaring above you!

Worker Exposure due to Reverse Flow in Push‐pull Ventilation and Development of a Reverse Flow Preventing System: Jun Ojima, National Institute of Industrial Health—An experimental mock‐up push‐pull ventilation system was constructed in a laboratory and a dummy worker was placed in its ventilation area (uniform flow field). Within the uniform flow field, organic solvent work was modeled by setting up an alcohol vapor generator and a working table in front of the dummy worker. Reverse flow was observed in the breathing zone of the dummy worker when it was positioned in the uniform flow originating from behind the worker. The experiments showed that reverse flow increased the worker's contaminant exposure significantly. With the 1.0 m/s uniform flow originating from behind the worker, the alcohol concentration in the breathing zone exceeded 300 ppm due to the reverse flow, but it was too low to be detectable when the worker's orientation relative to the uniform flow was 90 degree. In order to control the reverse flow and minimize the contaminant exposure, the author invented a prototype of a reverse flow preventing system. The reverse flow preventing system reported in this study was designed to be set up in a position between the worker and the working table. It decreased exposure by means of locally supplied air blowing which blocked the reverse flow and contaminant transportation from the source.<|endoftext|>An exploration of relationships between urbanization and per capita income: United States and countries of the world.
"The relationship between urbanization and level of income has been the subject of considerable theoretical debate and empirical study for many years. However, little recent work has been done to determine whether or not previous findings still hold, and there has been even less multi-country analysis to explore the degree of generality. Analysis of data for metropolitan areas in the United States from 1970 to 1990 indicates per capita income increases directly with population size. For states of the United states and 113 countries for 1960 and 1980 a strong positive relationship exists and holds temporally between level of per capita Gross Domestic Product and percent of the population that is urban."<|endoftext|>Research Progress of Anhydrous Fracturing
Oil and gas reserves in our country are large and widely distributed, and usually fracturing techniques are needed to extract oil and gas. Currently, the more mature hydraulic fracturing technology is difficult to extract coal bed methane. Combined with the research progress of fracturing at home and abroad, this paper summarizes the development of relevant anhydrous fracturing technology, fracturing fluid, fracturing process and other aspects, compares and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of fracturing technology, and provides some ideas for the development of anhydrous fracturing technology in the future. In order to reduce the cost of anhydrous fracturing, meet the requirements of field application, and accelerate the research progress of anhydrous fracturing, the commonly used fracturing technologies are combined to study new fracturing fluids and carry out composite anhydrous fracturing.<|endoftext|>Solid-phase synthesis and kinetic characterization of fluorogenic enzyme-degradable hydrogel cross-linkers.
Of critical importance in drug delivery and tissue engineering applications is the degradability of implanted polymeric materials. The use of peptide-derived cross-linkers in hydrogel design is a valuable approach by which polymeric carriers can be endowed with enzymatic degradability in a predictable, "programmable" fashion. The solid-phase synthesis strategy described herein allows for an expeditious, flexible synthesis of bis-acrylamide-derivatized peptides with complex modifications, as exemplified by the incorporation of fluorophore and quencher moieties into a matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-degradable cross-linker. The crude synthetic product was obtained in high yield and purity and purified by standard methods; it was then used directly for polymerization without the need for tedious and often nonchemoselective solution-phase modifications. Functional appendages incorporated for detection provided a direct, quantitative link between enzymatic activity and hydrogel degradation using routine methods for identification of optimal enzyme-specific degradability.<|endoftext|>If you intend to perform baseball, you have to have a couple of features, such as for example speed, footwork and endurance. The advantages of that game can not be measured, though. Though the overall game is popular in Latin America and Europe, Americans are also creating curiosity to be involved in the sport. Every sport has its advantages and baseball isn’t any exception. Let’s take a peek at a number of the main benefits.
You need a higher amount of strength in order to work for 20 minutes. So, football players have a great deal of aerobic capacity. They could go or run for hours without getting tired. Therefore, enjoying baseball may raise your aerobic capacity.
An average of, a person works for at the least 5 miles through the entire game. So, ดูบอลสดออนไลน์ working, jogging and strolling boosts one’s heart rate of the players. Quite simply, football is wonderful for your quality of life as it prevents the deposition of plaque in the coronary arteries.
If you wish to burn off fat, it’s one of the very correct sports for you. The reason is that it performs your center and muscles in more ways than one. Aside from that, the game can help you burn up fat and construct muscle mass.
All through football, you never need significantly human anatomy strength for kicking, rotating, moving and turning. Due to these activities, you build muscle strength.
As an over-all principle, as you get older, the occurrence of one’s bones comes down. Throughout a match, the recurring masses on your whole body produce your bones stronger. Therefore, if you intend to hold the effectiveness of your bones, make sure you perform it on a regular basis.
Control is vital for success due to the adjustments between sprinting, operating, and strolling around and around again. Complicated movements, such as for example driving, turning and dribbling also assist you to boost your control during the game.
While fitness targets are particular, most of us can benefit from football. As a matter of truth, your capacity to work well with other participants to achieve a typical aim moves an extended way.
Since baseball is just a fast-paced game, it can help you enhance your self-discipline, persistence, and concentration skills. Even if the pace slows down, you are after territorial advantages. You place your self to get a pass or protect a specific area from the opponents.
In the event that you build your stamina and physical power, you can build your confidence as well. With a greater self-esteem and confidence, you can accomplish well in relationships, household living, job and school.
You can play it anywhere, anytime. Since it’s not a high or high priced sport, you won’t have to meet up rigid requirements. As a matter of truth, it is a fairly simpler game.
So, if you intend to appreciate every one of these advantages, we declare that you construct a group, get out and play it. Hopefully, you will be able to have probably the most out of this enjoyable sport.

Macromolecular crystallography has been, for the last few decades, the main source of structural information of biological macromolecular systems and it is one of the most powerful techniques for the analysis of enzyme mechanisms and macromolecular interactions at the atomic level. In addition, it is also an extremely powerful tool for drug design. Recent technological and methodological developments in macromolecular X-ray crystallography have allowed solving structures that until recently were considered difficult or even impossible, such as structures at atomic or subatomic resolution or large macromolecular complexes and assemblies at low resolution. These developments have also helped to solve the 3D-structure of macromolecules from twin crystals. Recently, this technique complemented with cryo-electron microscopy and neutron crystallography has provided the structure of large macromolecular machines with great precision allowing understanding of the mechanisms of their function.<|endoftext|>Velocity estimation of spots in three-dimensional confocal image sequences of living cells.
BACKGROUND
The analysis of three-dimensional (3D) motion is becoming increasingly important in life cell imaging. A simple description of sometimes complex patterns of movement in living cells gives insight in the underlying mechanisms governing these movements.
METHODS
We evaluate a velocity estimation method based on intensity derivatives in spatial and temporal domain from 3D confocal images of living cells. Cells of the sample contain intense spots throughout the cell nucleus. In simulations, we model these spots as Gaussian intensity profiles which are constant in intensity and shape. To quantify the quality of the estimated velocity, we introduce a reliability measure.
RESULTS
For constant linear velocity, the velocity estimation is unbiased. For accelerated motion paths or when a neighboring spot disturbs the intensity profile, the method results are biased. The influence of the point-spread function on the velocity estimation can be compensated for by introducing anisotropic derivative kernels. The insight gained in the simulations is confirmed by the results of the method applied on an image sequence of a living cell with fluorescently labeled chromatin.
CONCLUSIONS
With the velocity estimation method, a tool for estimating 3D velocity fields is described |

<|endoftext|>Antihypertensive Efficacy of the Direct Renin Inhibitor Aliskiren as Add-on Therapy in Patients with Poorly Controlled Hypertension.
OBJECTIVE
A direct renin inhibitor, aliskiren, has a longer stable antihypertensive effect compared with other renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors.
METHODS
This study was a 6-month, single-center, open trial conducted between December 2010 and November 2011 to assess the antihypertensive effect of adding aliskiren (300 mg) to the treatment of essential hypertension patients whose target blood pressure (BP) had not been achieved and to assess whether it was possible to reduce the amount of antihypertensive drugs used.
RESULTS
The results showed an overall improvement in the target BP achievement rate of 60% for clinic BP and 52% for home BP measurements (75 cases total). The mean number of drugs before treatment with aliskiren was 3.28±1.52, whereas at the end of the six months the mean number of drugs prescribed other than aliskiren was 2.85±1.72 (p<0.0001). Moreover, no worsening of the renal function was observed in patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease (CKD) who were being treated with other RAAS inhibitors in combination to aliskiren.
CONCLUSION
These results showed that when aliskiren was added to the treatment of poorly controlled hypertension, the BP achievement rate increased, and it was possible to reduce the amount of antihypertensive drugs used in combination with aliskiren. Moreover, as a result of careful monitoring of the renal function or decreasing the amounts of drugs used in combination, no worsening of the renal function was observed even in the cases complicated by diabetes or CKD being treated with other RAAS inhibitors.<|endoftext|>In 1st Grade Music Class we review everything we learned in Kindergarten Music Class.

<|endoftext|>The intimate city: violence, gender and ordinary life in Delhi slums
In this paper I argue for an expansion of the horizons of urban geography through a notion of the intimate city. I focus on the slum as a space where the violence of an exclusionary city is woven into its intimate material and social conditions, but where this violence is also domesticated and rendered as part of the everyday. I illustrate through three stories of intimate lives of slum women that everyday life in the slum requires the production of (1) an urban subject who shows agency not by resisting but by living with intimate violence; (2) an urban subjectivity involved in acquiring knowledge of one’s bodily terrain in order to limit this violence; and (3) an urban citizenship that argues for a “right to intimacy” as a way to claim a right to the city. This paper calls for a recasting of the public/private divide in urban geography in order to understand how violence circulates through and contravenes the boundaries of public/private, city/slum, tradition/modernity.<|endoftext|>Community and the Progressive Press: A Case Study in Finding Our Way

The association of Apolipoprotein E (APOE) with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) and cognitive endophenotypes of aging has been widely investigated. There is increasing interest in evaluating the association of other LOAD risk loci with cognitive performance and decline. The results of these studies have been inconsistent and inconclusive. We conducted a systematic review of studies investigating the association of non-APOE LOAD risk loci with cognitive performance in older adults. Studies published from January 2009 to April 2018 were identified through a PubMed database search using keywords and by scanning reference lists. Studies were included if they were either cross-sectional or longitudinal in design, included at least one genome-wide significant LOAD risk loci or a genetic risk score, and had one objective measure of cognition. Quality assessment of the studies was conducted using the quality of genetic studies (Q-Genie) tool. Of 2,466 studies reviewed, 49 met inclusion criteria. Fifteen percent of the associations between non-APOE LOAD risk loci and cognition were significant. However, these associations were not replicated across studies, and the majority were rendered non-significant when adjusting for multiple testing. One-third of the studies included genetic risk scores, and these were typically significant only when APOE was included. The findings of this systematic review do not support a consistent association between individual non-APOE LOAD risk and cognitive performance or decline. However, evidence suggests that aggregate LOAD genetic risk exerts deleterious effects on decline in episodic memory and global cognition.<|endoftext|>Beloved Greek actor Minas Hatzisavvas passed away on Monday, November 30 after being hospitalized at Evangelismos Hospital in Athens.

<|endoftext|>Identification of RNA as a complement inhibitory component in an extract of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells.
A factor capable of inhibiting complement was obtained from intact Ehrlich ascites tumor cells by mild extraction with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The inhibitor caused a decrease in extent of lysis of EAC14 with a concomitant extension of Tmax. EA, EAC1, EAC4 and EAC142 were all less susceptible to complement-mediated lysis after treatment with the tumor cell extract. Partial purification of a complement inhibitor was accomplished. The inhibitor was rich in RNA and its activity was totally destroyed by RNAase but not DNAase. RNA from mouse tissues, yeast, and Escherichia coli also inhibited complement hemolytic activity. The partially purified material only inhibited lysis of EAC1 and EAC14. Slow inhibition of fluid phase C1 was also demonstrated. In addition, RNA-rich partially purified tumor cell extract was capable of precipitating with purified human C1q.<|endoftext|>Coping with perinatal death.
After the death of a newborn baby, parents experience a grieving process much the same as any other form of grief. This process should be recognized as a normal event. It may be especially traumatic when siblings must share in the process. Parents go through the various stages of grief. The health care provider should fulfill his or her role in the grieving process by recognizing the stages of grief and providing help and support to the family at appropriate times. From the time of the baby's death until many months after, health professionals should help make the grieving process more tolerable.<|endoftext|>Rare-Earth-Doped Glass Fiber for Background Rejection in Remote Fiber-Optic Raman Probes: Theory and Analysis of Holmium-Bearing Glass

dietary patterns based on day 1 and day 2 24-hour dietary recalls. Mean intake of foods associated with higher risk of listeriosis were examined within each pattern, and ANOVA with Dunnett's method of adjustment was used to evaluate significant differences in mean intake of foods. Patterns were ranked based on relative risk of listeriosis using outbreak illness attribution data. Five distinct dietary patterns were identified. Patterns ranked at highest relative risk of listeriosis, based on US outbreak illness attribution data, were characterized by relatively higher intakes of, (1) fruits, vegetables, and cheeses (~13% respondents) or (2) cereal, milk, and yogurt (~14% respondents). Individuals consuming these dietary patterns differed in sex, race, food security, self-rated diet quality, and self-rated health.

In the last 15 years there have been numerous reports demonstrating that transplanted hepatocytes can retain hepatocellular functions (1), correct congenital enzyme deficiencies (2–4), and improve survival rates in animal models of acute hepatic failure (5–7). Recently, Moscioni et al. (8) showed that human liver cells attached to collagen-coated microcarriers (9, 10) were able to correct metabolic defects following transplantation into mutant rat recipients that were genetically deficient in either bilirubin-uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase activity or albumin synthesis. Interestingly, the intraperitoneally injected hepatocyte-microcarriers that were well vascularized were almost exclusively found on the surface of the pancreas. This apparent cellular tropism raises questions about the presence and mechanism of action of pancreas-derived hepatotrophic factors and their role in the maintenance of hepatocyte integrity (11–14).
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of pancreatic islets on the survival of human hepatocytes in an ectopic site in nude mice. Human hepatocytes were obtained from segments of preserved cadaver donor livers that had been discarded during size reduction procedures before transplantation of the residual fragments to pediatric recipients. A modification of the automated procedure for isolation of human pancreatic islets (15) was used for the isolation of hepatocyte aggregates. After cannulation of its portal branch, the liver segment was perfused with 200 ml of a solution of 1 mg/ml collagenase (Boehringer-Mannheim, type P) in Hanks solution (28°C) and placed into a digestion chamber. Separation of hepatocellular clusters was accomplished by the same separation procedure used previously for isolation of human pancreatic islets (15). Between 80% and 95% of the harvested hepatocytes were viable, as assessed by trypan blue exclusion. Collagen-coated microcarriers (Cytodex 3, Pharmacia Fine Chemicals, Upsala, Sweden) were prepared as described by Demetriou et al. (9). Pancreatic islets were obtained from the pancreata of mongrel dogs (18–25 kg) by a modification (16) of the automated method for human islet isolation (15).
Male BALB/c nude mice (20 g) were used as recipients in three groups (n=6 in each group). In group 1 (control) approximately 4000 hepatocyte clusters of an average diameter of 150 µ were placed beneath the left renal capsule as previously described (17). In group 2 (secondary control), hepatocyte clusters were transplanted in combination with 400 collagen-coated microcarriers. In group 3 the same number of hepatocyte clusters was transplanted without microcarriers but in combination with 400 pancreatic islets of 150 µm average diameter.
Thirty days after transplantation the nude mice were sacrificed and the morphologic integrity of the renal subcapsular grafts was determined histopathologically. Hematoxylin-eosin stain was used in all sections. In addition, immunostain for insulin (immunoperoxidase) was used in sections of combined islet-hepatocyte transplants to distinguish the islets from the hepatocellular implants.
The pathologist, who was blinded to the experimental groups from which the specimens came, correctly and without exception matched the tissues to the groups as follows. No hepatocytes were detectable in the renal subcapsular implants 1 month after transplantation of hepatocyte clusters alone (group 1). In group 2, the addition of collagen-coated microcarriers to the hepatocellular aggregates resulted in the survival of a thin rim of epithelioid cells attached to the microcarriers, while the remaining hepatocytes degenerated, leaving only fibrosis and a nonspecific mononuclear cell infiltrate around the microcarriers in the transplant site (Fig. 1). This suggested a minor augmentation of hepatocellular survival by the microcarrier. In contrast, when islets were included at the transplant site (group 3) multilayers of human hepatocytes were found. The surviving hepatocytes were healthy, in large clumps, and glycogen-containing, PAS-positive, and diastase-sensitive. These results are consistent with previous demonstrations that pancreatic-derived hepatotrophic factors are essential for maintenance of hepatocyte integrity (11–14). Scattered pancreatic islets were detected (Fig. 2).

In past experience, when hepatocytes were transplanted by themselves in the presence of an intact host liver, no evidence of hepatocyte proliferation could be observed at any time after transplantation (18). Whenever cells without nuclei and multinucleated cells were found at the transplant site (19), hepatic degeneration had occurred. Similarly, it was not possible to detect the hepatocytes at either 2 or 4 days after intrasplenic transplantation (20), except when there was a proliferative stimulus provided by 70% recipient hepatectomy. Using the model of Demetriou et al. (9, 10), the collagen-coated hepatocyte microcarriers, the microcarriers may have promoted the survival of a small number of hepatocytes. In the earlier experiments of Moscioni et al. (8), the selective survival of the intraperitoneally injected hepatocyte-microcarrier aggregates on the surface of the pancreas was congruent with the possible role of factors produced from the pancreas in the maintenance of normal hepatocytes. Direct evidence supporting this concept (11–14) has come from rodent experiments in which combined hepatocyte-islet clusters were placed in ectopic sites (21, 22).
The present study has established that human hepatocytes are subject to the hepatotrophic influence of islet cell factors, and because dog islets were used with human hepatocytes in the nude mouse recipient, it could be shown that the hepatotrophic effect was not species-specific. These findings will be important in defining effective procedures for the maintenance of human hepatocytes both in vitro and in vivo, and for their use in hepatocellular transplantation, artificial liver, and gene therapy applications.<|endoftext|>If you are a fan of the Thunder Warriors cartoons then you are going to love this brand-new game for girls called Thunder Warriors Connection. While playing it your task is pretty simple: you have to connect as many tiles of the same kind as possible in one move. Sounds simple, isn’t it? But keep in mind that this new puzzle game is multileveled and at the beginning of each new level you are given a few targets and the limitations which apply to the level. The target is available on the left side of your screen, while the limitations (the number of movies and the time in which you must complete the current level) can be found at the bottom of your screen. So are you ready to give it a try? Then hit the play button and get the fun started! Good luck!

Nowadays, the one of the actual problems is the recycling of metal waste and its provision to consumers. However, it is known that there are a number of difficulties with the recycling of thallium waste. By using new recycling methods, it's possible to increase thallium resources and lower prices for thallium-derived products. Therefore, some work was carried out to extract its compounds from thallium waste by studying the electrochemical properties of thallium in our research work. The experimental results showed that thallium electrodes dissolve in an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid under alternating current polarization with the formation of thallium (I) sulfate.
In this work, the kinetics of electrochemical oxidation-reduction of thallium in aqueous solutions of |
fence where the Lions attempted to make a play on it, but instead it was costly as the error allowed two Bulldogs to score for a 3-0 advantage.
Owens did all he could to build momentum for Bryan when he helped the stale offense with a leadoff homerun launched over the fence on a 2-1 count, cutting the deficit to 3-1. The Lions couldn't continue the run in the third and had their at-bat cut short in the bottom of the fourth after hitting into a double play.
The difference maker came in the top of the fifth when Tennessee Wesleyan made a statement with a homer to start their appearance at the plate and then followed it with another homerun for a 4-1 lead. A pitching change by the Lions looked to slow down the Bulldogs, but the runs continued to pour in as Tennessee Wesleyan reached first after being hit by a pitch. A sac-bunt allowed the runner to take second as they successfully reached first too. The Bulldogs applied pressure when they were walked, which loaded the bases. A single scored one run and kept the bases loaded. The next batter hit into a fielder's choice, but an error at second gave way to another run scored and the bases to remain loaded. Tennessee Wesleyan kept didn't let off the gas as they delivered a triple and double that scored three more runs, which wrapped up their eight-run spot in the fifth for an 11-1 lead.
It was Owens once again in the seventh that helped Bryan add more to their score. Garcia singled and stole second and was brought home, as Tennessee Wesleyan couldn't figure out how to stop Owens when he ripped a two-run homer for an 11-3 final.
Owens was a perfect 3-of-3 with all three RBIs and scored two of Bryan's three runs from two homers. Garcia scored the other run and finished 1-of-3 with a stolen base. Trevor Behrent (JR/Catawissa, Pa.), Morhardt, and Kila Zuttermeister (JR/Kailua, HI) each tallied one hit as the Lions ended with seven total. Of Tennessee Wesleyan's 12 hits, three were doubles, two were homeruns, and one was a triple.
Brandon Marklund (JR/North Vancouver, Canada) was given the loss after dealing the first four innings and giving up six runs, five earned, along with eight hits. He ended with three walks and eight strikeouts. Landon Mosteller (SO/Clarksville, Tenn.) relieved for one out and was pushed around for three hits and five runs with four being earned. For 1.2 innings, Austin Parrish (JR/Ringgold, Ga) allowed one hit and threw two K's before Travis Moore (SR/Hastings, Mich.) closed for the Lions and finished with one walk and one strikeout.
In order to avoid the sweep, Bryan came out the gate strong with six runs in the bottom of the first to answer Tennessee Wesleyan's lone run in the top of the frame. The Bulldogs scored of a single that followed two walks and a stolen base. The Lion's six-run inning, which totaled their runs of the previous two games of the series, began when Zuttermeister singled to leadoff their at-bat. Weinburger laid down a well-executed sac-bunt to advance Zuttermeister to second. Morhardt surged Bryan ahead with a double to put runners on third and second with one out. The pressure got to Tennessee Wesleyan as the pitcher threw a wild pitch, which Zuttermeister capitalized on for the tying run at 1-1 and advanced Morhardt to scoring position at third. In order to avoid Owens, he was walked, but he took second when this time a passed ball gave way to the go-ahead run by Morhardt. Behrent came after with a groundout but it was good enough to set up Owens at third for another scoring opportunity. Garcia plated Owens with a single, providing the Lions with a 3-1 lead. Besides the first game when the close came in late for the Bulldogs, Tennessee Wesleyan was forced to make a pitching change to prevent Bryan running away with an overwhelming lead. The new pitcher walked Lake Burris (SO/Chatsworth, Ga.), which advanced Garcia to second. Garcia advanced to third on a stolen base, and Burris followed suit to take over second. Sam Salyers (JR/Kingsport, Tenn.) aided the Lions with another two runs when he singled to score Garcia and Burris for a 5-1 advantage. The final out seemed out of reach for the Bulldogs when Salyers advanced to second on a wild throw before relieving the duties to Young, Bryan's standout base runner. Rita made it easy for Young when he smacked a double to plate Young for Bryan's last run of the inning. Tennessee Wesleyan was forced to make another change on the mound, and the new Bulldogs got a Lion to strikeout for the last out.
Just when Bryan felt like they had a comfortable lead, Tennessee Wesleyan responded in the top of the second. One of several errors by the Lions in the inning allowed the first Bulldog at-bat to reach first. A single put pressure with a runner in scoring position at third. Two strikeouts whizzed by as Bryan looked to avoid the threat, but Tennessee Wesleyan did just as the Lions had in the first and made the final out extremely tough to attain. A wild pitch moved the runner from first to second. The Bulldogs scored two runs off a double, and then another wild pitch kept the pressure on as Tennessee Wesleyan controlled third base. A walk allowed two runners on, which was not a good scenario for Bryan as the next batter went yard to score three runs and level the score 6-6. The Lion's had Tristan Legault (SO/Mascouche, Quebec) take a break as Parrish entered, but the change didn't have a real impact as the rally continued for the Bulldogs. An error allowed the next batter to reach first, and the bases cleared once again with a two-run homer that created an 8-6 difference between the two teams. Tennessee Wesleyan wouldn't allow Bryan to see the lead for the rest of the game.
Zane Glass (JR/Murfreesboro, Tenn.) entered to begin the top of the third at the mound for the Lions, but the Bulldogs were allowed a walk and single to start their at-bat. Glass recorded a strikeout and got the next batter to ground out, but the two outs wouldn't be enough to keep Tennessee Wesleyan from adding to their lead. With a man on second and third, the bases were loaded when another four balls were thrown. A wild pitch resulted in the Bulldogs claiming a 9-6 advantage with one run scored.
Bryan had Ryan LaFever (FR/Baxter, Tenn.) relieve to begin the top of the fourth, and giving Tennessee Wesleyan a free base from a walk wasn't a good move as the Bulldogs hit another two-run homer to go ahead 11-6.
Weinburger answered for the Lions in the bottom of the frame when he followed the first two outs with a solo shot over the fence to slim the margin to 11-7.
The Bulldogs showed no hesitation in countering during the fifth inning with back-to-back jacks to being their turn. They didn't stop there as a double and another hit that the Lions misplayed added another run on to jump back up to 14-7.
The homerun derby ran into the bottom of the fifth when Behrent homered on a 1-1 count, Garcia singled, and Burris went the distance with a long shot that went beyond the fence for three runs tacked on to their total. Through five innings, the Lions trailed 14-10.
Chad Burrows (SR/Nassau, Bahamas), Bryan's key closer, came in during the top of the sixth and kept the Bulldogs off the board as the Lions drew within three runs of Tennessee Wesleyan. Weinburger singled in the sixth, and he traveled home when Morhardt connected for a double, making the score 14-11.
A single, walk, and hit by pitch gave the Bulldogs a chance at insurance runs in the final inning as they loaded the bases with no outs. A sac-fly hit to center scored one runner, and a double that followed recorded two more runs for Tennessee Wesleyan to control a 17-11 edge.
Garcia led off in the bottom of the seventh, as Bryan needed at least six runs to stay alive. He did his part by clobbering his second homerun of the season to close the gap to five at 17-12. Burris was clutch as he hammered a consecutive homerun for the Lions, bringing the score 17-13 with no outs. A walk was the only other time a Lion reached base as Tennessee Wesleyan got Bryan to fly out, line out, and strike out to end the game.
Burris led Bryan with two homeruns, three RBIs, and three runs scored when he went 2-of-3 at the plate. Garcia led the Lions in hits, going 3-of-4 with three runs scored, two runs batted in, and one homer. Behrent made the most of his one hit by sending it over the fence, and Weinburger collected the other homerun for Bryan along with two runs scored and two hits. Salyers had two RBIs, which is the most he's had in a game this season. Morhardt was 2-of |

<|endoftext|>There are various considerations before undertaking a website design project.
Professionals in the web development field often work closely together to mutually assess each one’s work; an essential process to avoiding and correcting mistakes in their assignments.
A designer needs to have the artistic talent to be able to come up with beautiful and unique designs that will impress both the contracting client and prospective site visitors alike.
These are key factors for preventing mistakes in web design.
common mistakes in web design
A good professional will consult with the developer first to ascertain whether the proposed design is feasible in terms of functionality.
Thus, this pivotal point in the design process is crucial to the success of the website being constructed.
A website with lots of eye candy that does not provide usable functions for the visitor will not be successful in its intended purpose.
Another important part of effective web design is developing the practice of doing regular checks for errors as the work goes along.
There are various elements to the visual design that need to be assessed carefully prior to final deployment, including the logo, brand and coloration.
A good eye for detail is helpful in this respect.
Showing the client a product sample that looks and feels wrong will cost the design team precious time redoing those elements that the client is not satisfied with.
The designer must also look out for mistakes arising from compatibility issues.
These errors typically show up when another system, such as a Mac, incorrectly renders the website when another platform such as a Windows PC renders it flawlessly.
The differences in the operating systems can be the culprits in potential design errors.
Therefore, it is prudent to check a design for possible mistakes by running it across multiple platforms from Mac OS 10 to the XP and Vista versions of Windows.
Cross-browser issues can also happen.
At each design stage, be sure to run a battery of assessments to prevent any mistakes from appearing in the design.
Consistency is the key.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – A three-point basket by Arkansas forward Sarah Watkins with 23 seconds left gave Arkansas a 55-52 lead and handed the No. 13/14-ranked Florida State women’s basketball team its first loss of the season on Sunday during final day action at the WBI Classic.
The Seminoles finished 2-1 at the preseason event held at the Ocean Center. Junior forward Chasity Clayton led FSU with 15 points, while senior post Cierra Bravard scored 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting.
Clayton and Alexa Deluzio were named to the All-Tournament Team along with Watkins, who finished with 15 points and nine boards for the Razorbacks (2-1).
Florida State held Arkansas to just 32.1 percent shooting, but was outrebounded 44-26.
“It really came down to the defensive end,” Seminoles’ head coach Sue Semrau said. “I thought we got the looks we wanted. (Cierra) Bravard went 6-for-7. She played well, but there’s no question it comes down to the defensive end.”
Bravard, who picked up her fourth foul with 4:23 remaining in the game, tied the game 52-52 on a basket with 43 seconds remaining in the game, but Watkins answered with a three at the top of the key to give the Razorbacks a three-point lead.
The Noles tried to find an open three-point look on the ensuing possession, but sophomore point guard Tay’ler Mingo was forced to attempt a layup in the lane where she was stripped of the ball. After a fight for the loose ball, a jump ball was called with two seconds left with the possession arrow pointing towards Florida State.
After one FSU timeout and two Arkansas timeouts, Florida State took the ball out of bounds under its own basket for one last chance. Mingo’s inbounds pass was intercepted by Arkansas’ Calli Berna, however.
The Noles defense clamped down midway through the first half, holding the Razorbacks without a field goal for nearly 11 minutes.
A three-pointer by Lyndsay Harris (10 points) gave Arkansas an 18-10 lead at the 10:50 mark of the first half, but the Razorbacks missed their next nine field goals and didn’t make a another until C’iera Ricketts (13 points) beat the halftime buzzer with layup.
Mingo’s first career three-pointer with eight minutes left in the first half sparked a 12-1 FSU run that gave the Seminoles their first lead, 22-20, on a basket by Deluzio at the 5:00 mark.
With Bravard and sophomore forward Natasha Howard in foul trouble late in the first half, freshman post Kristi Mokube came off the bench to spark the Noles to a 33-28 halftime lead. She scored six points and grabbed three boards in seven minutes before the break.
Florida State now will turn its attention to another SEC opponent, interstate rival, Florida. The Noles face the Gators (1-0) at 5:30 p.m. in Gainesville, Fla., on Thursday.
A bus will take fans to the Florida contest. It will leave from the Tennessee Street Wal-Mart at 2 p.m. Thursday and return after the game at approximately 11 p.m. Fans who want to attend should call 850-514-1793. The cost is $45 and includes travel to and from the game and a boxed meal.

Once you have created an ASP.NET page that presents data, you can then start refactoring the page for use as a printed document. Refactoring a page for print has a couple of steps. First you might want to go into any ASP.NET controls that have explicit style settings, and replace those style properties with actual Cascading Style Sheet references. At runtime, you will be able to have two sets of styles, one for presentation on the screen and the other for printing, ASP.NET controls by default have explicit style properties. For this demonstration, I'm working with the file DisplayData.aspx, which has an SqlDataSource whose Select command joins multiple tables together, and then a GridView that presents the data using one of the auto-format settings.
let's take a look at the code for the GridView. I'll select the GridView and then go to Source View. Then I'll press Alt+Shift+Enter to go into full screen. In the GridView code down toward the bottom of the declarations, there are a number of styles, each of these styles has individual style properties which as I have shown in other demonstrations are translated by the ASP.NET Framework at runtime into style declarations that are inline which as I have shown in other demonstrations, are translated by ASP.NET at runtime into explicit style declarations that are inline within the rendered HTML table.
The problem with this approach is that if you wanted to change from one set of styles to another at runtime, you would actually have to go in and change each individual property on each GridView control. A better approach is to take these properties and translate them as Cascading Style Sheet classes. I have already done some of the work. I'll open the file Style.css and show you that this file contains a number of classes named report header, report row and report alt row. These three CSS classes match the settings that are generated by Visual Web Developer when you select a particular auto-format. The row style, which is declared up at the top of the code, the header style and the alternating row style, which are all used in the presentation, have all been restated now as CSS classes.
So, here are the changes I'm going to make in the actual document, first I'm going to eliminate any styles that won't actually be used. I'm not going to be using paging in this presentation, so I'll remove the Pager |

ka&qou e0kei=). This is not due to any unwillingness on the part of the editors to make changes but rather to the relative integrity of the tradition and also to the quality of scholarship in the Nestle-Aland and UBS editions. Of course the number of changes may be greater in other books.
10. There has been an important innovation, however, where there are variant readings which the editors consider as of almost equal value to the text. In such instances the beginning and end of the problematic reading are marked with a dot in the primary text line, and a dot is also placed before the respective variant in the overview. The wisdom both of textual critics and of exegetical scholars is especially solicited in these instances for their contribution toward solving a problem that still remains open.
11. For example, in James 2:3, the reading of ECM is su\ sth=qi h2 ka&qou e0kei=. The b-reading here, su\ sth=qi e0kei= h2 ka&qou, is read by NA27/UBS4, and it is almost of equal value with the a-reading. But we believe that the more difficult but well attested a-reading su\ sth=qi with the adverb e0kei= placed after h2 ka&qou deserves preference for the text. The reader may have been irritated by the position of the adverb, which may have been expected immediately after sth=qi (cf. variants b-e) in parallel with su\ ka&qou w{de (words 24-30). Therefore, it seems to have been transposed in variants b and c. In addition to putting e0kei= after su\ sth=qi, the Byzantine reading d augments h2 ka&qou with the adverb w{de. But every reader should notice: here the text is not absolutely safe.
12. The overview of variant readings exhibits without supporting evidence all the readings which differ from the basic text (the primary text line) immediately below the relevant words. This permits a quick survey of the existing variants, and it is particularly useful to exegetes for an impression of the quality of the tradition and the possible causes for alterations of the text. Individual variants are identified by their numerical addresses and by lower case letters. The text of the primary line (the a-reading) is not repeated. This index system provides a neat transition to the third element of the page layout: the critical apparatus.
13. Here the identifying number and letter addresses are followed by the readings and their supporting witnesses in the order of Greek manuscripts, Church Fathers, and versions. All the witnesses supporting a text unequivocally are cited in full. In order to do this a special system of markings is necessary, the meanings of which will be readily grasped by anyone using the edition. The following are the most important points.
14. The full citation of all the witnesses supporting a reading (an explicit or positive apparatus) is given only when 15 or more Greek manuscripts differ from the primary line text. The majority of the (more than 800) instances of textual variation involve only a few manuscripts at most. It would be pointless and unnecessarily repetitious to list the whole of the Greek manuscript evidence for the a-reading in each of these instances. Consequently, in these instances only the witnesses which differ from the a-reading are noted (a partially implicit or negative apparatus). Three dots (...) then stand for the Greek witnesses supporting the a-reading, followed by the Greek manuscripts requiring some qualification (because of defects or corrections), by the Church Fathers and versions. It is important to remember that all manuscripts not explicitly mentioned may be assumed to support the a-reading! In every passage all manuscripts with lacunae or other defects are listed under the sign "-", so that a simple subtraction of these is all that is required to identify all the manuscripts attesting the a-reading.
15. Another new marking used in ECM is a double arrow
beside two or more letter addresses, indicating that it is impossible to tell which of these readings is supported by the witnesses cited.1 It also serves to indicate which readings the witnesses definitely do not support. This is one of the markings which makes it possible to treat the versions as full witnesses. If the reading of a versional witness cannot definitively be associated with one or more readings in the apparatus, it is marked with a question mark.2
16. An edition such as this should not try to anticipate the results of any research it is designed to facilitate. So the present edition attempts only to provide open access to actual evidence, without suggesting any inferences about manuscript groupings of families or about any microstructures within the manuscript tradition. Even the symbol Byz is used only as a pragmatic term to designate a group of manuscripts sharing agreement in 80% or more of the variant readings characteristic of the Byzantine text (that means in all the readings where the undivided Byzantine text differs from the primary text line). The symbol Byz is not to be understood as representing a defined entity. Thus, the present edition does not pretend to be adequate for specialised studies in the Byzantine text. It does include a great number of purely Byzantine manuscripts and also manuscripts closely related to the Byzantine text, so that it offers a reliable survey of this form of the text (see figs. 2 and 3). Yet not all the defective and singular readings, nor the late developments of individual witnesses to the Byzantine text, have been included. Manuscripts representing exclusively the text of this late period had to be set aside as contributing neither to the recovery of the original text nor to the history of the text.
17. One useful aspect of the edition is the supplements which accompany each installment and provide additional information. These supplements support and expand the critical apparatus. They contain not only the usual lists of abbreviations, manuscripts, and Church Fathers, but also detailed information on the lacunae, defects, and scribal blunders of all the manuscripts used in the edition.
18. The supplements also contain a list of the Byzantine variants in the Letter of James (i.e., all the readings where the undivided Byzantine text differs from the primary line text--cf. fig. 3) and an index of the patristic quotations and their references. This documentation makes it possible to trace back a notation in the critical apparatus to the father's edition used. Expanded information about versional evidence where the version's textual base is not clear is also given in the supplements. These passages are indicated in the critical apparatus by a question-mark or the reference sign ">". This makes it possible to give a more complete account of the witness of the major versions. Even the reader unskilled in these languages is able to use them as witnesses to the Greek text. In principle, if a Latin, Coptic, or Syriac witness is not mentioned, it has a lacuna.
19. Finally, for every volume of the ECM there will be a companion volume of supplementary studies explaining how the text has been established. For the Catholic Letters this will appear as the fourth installment, containing descriptions of the New Testament manuscripts, with definitions of their textual character in the light of the total evidence and an arrangement of the manuscripts (and manuscript groups) by their role in the development of the text. The preservation of the source material in databases makes this study possible, and it also allows for greater precision and a reevaluation of external criteria for judging variant readings (i.e., a better insight into the textual character of manuscripts in the light of their genealogical contexts). Publication of this material will not only promote a more comprehensive survey of the textual scene but also stimulate further studies in textual criticism and in the transmission and exegesis of the text. A textual commentary will discuss all passages where difficulties are found in the textual tradition. Thus on the one hand scholars will have open access to the material, yet on the other hand we will also publish the results of our own investigation of the text.
20. The Editio Critica Maior aims to provide the basis for establishing, confirming, and exploring the text of the New Testament. It is intended for all who are engaged in these endeavors. It is by no means simply for textual critics but also for exegetes and for historians of the New Testament text and of its reception through the centuries. It is our hope that this edition will promote cooperation among these disciplines.
21. Some may wonder why the edition has begun with the Catholic Letters, and accordingly with the Letter of James. No theological reasons of any kind lie behind this decision, but rather a variety of carefully weighed text-critical considerations. The Catholic Letters are preserved in a relatively small number of manuscripts compared with the whole of the New Testament textual tradition, although compared with other textual traditions the number (about 520 manuscripts) is still very large and appears almost overwhelming. Since the Editio Critica Maior claims to be based on the whole of the manuscript tradition while exhibiting only the evidence of a manageable selection that nevertheless accurately represents the full range of its development, we decided to begin with these letters. We proceeded to develop the methodology for distinguishing the Koine text from the earlier text forms and published it in the first volumes of the series Text und Textwert (Kurt Aland, ed. 1987).
22. There are several advantages to this approach. Because of the position of the Catholic Letters in the early history of the canon, when they were neither universally accepted nor uniformly valued, the manuscript tradition for these letters experienced a greater degree of freedom than did other parts of the New Testament. The text was less rigorously controlled, so that manuscripts where variant readings would be corrected or suppressed in other parts of the New Testament escaped comparable attention here, with the result that a complex variety of interrelated manuscripts and groups survived. If there is any part of the New Testament characterized by diversity in its transmission, |

Patients with COPD and their partners often feel isolated while trying to cope with the psychological and physical effects of their condition and the change in their quality of life. Research studies support the fact that some patients with COPD cope better with their breathlessness at home with appropriate community support. This support may be provided by nurses and other health professionals. However, there appears to be an imbalance in the provision of community support/palliative care for COPD patients who have a life-limiting illness compared to other patients with a life limiting illness and a cancer diagnosis. Where 'hospital at home' and support in the community for COPD patients occurs it is provided in many different ways and has been shown to reduce the necessity for acute hospital admissions.<|endoftext|>Free YouTube to iPod Converter is a tool that can download YouTube flash (FLV) videos and convert them into Ipod Video, PSP, or Mobile device compliant MP4 video file formats.
Here’s how it works. Find a video on YouTube that you want and copy its URL, then paste it into “Free YouTube to iPod Converter”. Next choose the quality setting for your desired video and, after a brief wait (depending on the size of the video file) your file is done, ready to be uploaded into your Ipod or device.
What’s really cool about this program is that for each type of supported device (Ipod, PSP, mobile) it has three predefined quality settings that you could choose from that make it extremely easy to use.
The user has nothing more to decide than low, medium, and high quality. After that the video is downloaded and converted efficiently and , in my experience, without problems (no missing audio, no audio/video sync problems).
The only thing I don’t like about this program is a splash screen that cannot be turned off and feels like a borderline nag screen. Otherwise this is a very handy tool that does the job well.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the haircut! It makes you look 20 yrs younger! You are awesome! Keep up the good work!
Whattayamean? She never looked a day older than 25. No matter what she does to her hair or makeup, she is wholesomely gorgeous.
Bet it feels good!
Your daughter did a fabulous job on your haircut.
I love all of your content and I also rewatch videos of yours especially if I am stuck and don’t know how to do something.
Weather wise in Australia we are in Winter but some days are really nice and others the wind feels like it is going straight through you.
Love your hair…great change…sophisticated!
good job w/ the hair!! Sassy!
Your hair looks favulous. Love this site~!
Love, love, love the new you, Lindsay! Your daughter did an awesome job on the haircut! Glad your vacation was relaxing for you.
Really like the cut. Sophisticated. Enjoy and stay safe.
Love your haircut. You look great.
Love the haircut! Sassy. sexy and makes you look way younger than you already did. Well done daughter!
ps. just my opinion, I like it brown!!
Loved your comment on adult coloring books….how funny! I’m so glad you were able to get away with your family. A cabin in the woods, on the water sounds delightful. Like everyone else, I love your hair! It’s is youthful and compliments your face so well. Good job, Lila! Too hot in Tennessee to do anything except stay in the a.c. Even if one could stand the heat the humidity is like a wet wool blanket thrown over your head, but we make up for it with our other seasons. Thanks for sharing the stash you took on vacation.
LOOKIN’ GOOD! PERFECT!
Lindsey, I love your new haircut. Your daughter did a fabulous job. I am sorry you had such a rotten week. We all have them from time to time. But you should give yourself more credit. If I had a major house improvement going on in the middle of this corona virus shutdown with three kids stuck at home ALL day instead of school and outside the house activities, anyone would have some down days or weeks or months. You are amazing. I got interested in making greeting cards a few years ago and a friend recommended watching your videos. I have loved them and learned a lot from you. I enjoy your personality and watch almost every thing that you post. I have to admit that your talent in your painting videos tends to overwhelm me so I don’t always watch them. I am so new to the world of art and know so little that it doesn’t take much for me to realize that I know so little. Please keep to your art and do take some me time.
Love your hair! Bet it “feels” good!
We all go through times when we have bad days/weeks. You have passed that period and you are know happy, lively, carefree and you look younger with your beautiful haircut. Your |

The twenty‐first century arrived in the middle of a global epidemic of metabolic syndrome (MS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). It is generally accepted that an excess of nutrients linked to a low physical activity triggers the problem. However, the molecular features that interact to develop the MS are not clear. In an effort to understand and control them, they have been extensively studied, but this goal has not been achieved yet. Nonhuman animal models have been used to explore diet and genetic factors in which experimental conditions are controlled. For example, only one factor in the diet, such as fats or carbohydrates can be modified to better understand a single change that would be impossible in humans. Most of the studies have been done in rodents. However, it is difficult to directly compare them, because experiments are different in more than one variable; genetic strains, amount, and the type of fat used in the diet and sex. Thus, the only possible criteria of comparison are the relevance of the observed changes. We review different animal models and add some original observations on short‐term changes in metabolism and beta cells in our own model of adult Wistar rats that are not especially prone to get fat or develop DM2, treated with 20% sucrose in drinking water. One early change observed in pancreatic beta cells is the increase in GLUT2 expression that is located to the membrane of the cells. This change could partially explain the presence of insulin hypersecretion and hyperinsulinemia in these rats. Understanding early changes that lead to MS and in time to pancreatic islet exhaustion is an important biomedical problem that may contribute to learn how to prevent or even reverse MS, before developing DM2. © 2011 IUBMB IUBMB Life, 2011<|endoftext|>Minimally invasive esophagectomy: state of the art.
Open esophagectomy is associated with significant mortality and morbidity, even in experienced centers. Two of the more frequent complications following esophagectomy are pneumonia and respiratory failure. Single-institution series have suggested that the incidence of these complications may be decreased with minimally invasive esophagectomy, with equivalent survival compared to open esophagectomy. However, this operation is technically challenging. In this review we detail the procedure as performed in our center, and also discuss some recent developments.<|endoftext|>Landing valves with integrated fixed-ratio pressure reducing devices in tall buildings
In a standpipe/wet riser system, landing valves are the terminating fixed components to which firefighters connect flexible hoses and nozzles. Traditionally, landing valves are simple isolating valves, but pressure-reducing valves are now available. A landing valve with an integrated fixed-ratio pressure-reducing devices has been used in Hong Kong. This Note examines the water pressure available at the landing valves in a proposed standpipe/wet riser installation in an example tall residential building in Hong Kong, under various operating conditions. Improvements to the relevant Hong Kong code of practice are recommended. The Note further details the locations in a building where pressure-reducing landing valves have been used inappropriately, and indicates issues to be addressed in their application.<|endoftext|>Las Lomas is a fantastic site and we would love to return, but we must continue our journey, and now we are heading to the costa del sol and Marbella.
Cabopino is a site we checked out last November, when we popped over to see Charlotte, it is well appointed, with reasonable sized pitches (however still needed the motor mover to avoid an awkwardly positioned cactus) and clean washing facilities.
This is a popular place with lots of the residents spending the majority of the winter here, and they were all very helpful with tips on best places to shop etc.
Not quite what we expected !
The weather today was not great, as you can see, so as we’d been busy the previous day we decided just to chill and read in the caravan, in the afternoon we had a walk down to the local beach, but is was so windy that we gave up after a short time !
Back at the van Jane choose the film, The Battle of the Bulge, for the rest of the afternoon’s entertainment. She was most disappointed to find out that it was a war film and not tips on how to diet !
Why is everything up hill ?
Malaga is a city that I have only visited briefly in the past, it has always been the airport where we have landed with other destinations in mind.
Lots to see !
However there is lots to see. We visited another moorish castle on top of a very steep hill with great views over the whole city, and the great thing was that it was free after 2pm on Sundays.
The weather was overcast but still a lovely 20 degrees, and very pleasant for a lunch outside in a bustling square.
Lots of narrow streets to explore.
In Spain Sundays are kept as special, a day when most of the shops are shut, a day when all the family gets together You really do notice everyone sharing a relaxed time, and it’s great to see the different generations spending quality time together.
Really love this blog. It sounds as if you’re having a great time, visiting lots of interesting places etc. Good to see that the Spanish keep Sundays as a special family day – maybe the UK would be a better place if we followed suit? I’m working hard on the golf course – it should be in immaculate condition when you return.
Glad you are enjoying the blog, I had lessons from the master before I left!
Malaga looks like it’s well worth a visit as well. Those old Spanish cities always look more interesting than ours for some reason.<|endoftext|>Calcium binding to mastocyte plasma membrane.
Rat mastocyte plasma membrane possess two major classes of calcium binding sites which have widely different affinity. At pH 7.5 the low affinity sites can bind about 88 nmol of Ca2+ per milligram of membrane protein and are half-saturated at 125 micro M Ca2+, whereas the high-affinity sites bind about 12 nmol of Ca2+ per milligram of membrane protein and are half-saturated at 5.5 micro M Ca2+. Membrane phospholipids and neuraminic acid residues account for approximately 87% of calcium binding.<|endoftext|>Adaptive Subspace Detectors for off-grid Mismatched Targets
In classical detection framework, the parameter space is usually discretized, so that in reality received parameter dependent signals are never perfectly aligned with the signal model under test: it leads to the off-grid signal mismatch. In a Gaussian adaptive context (i.e. the noise covariance is unknown), Kelly GLRT and AMF detectors are well established techniques that can suffer severe performance degradation in presence of this kind of mismatch. We propose here to use adaptive subspace detectors to solve this issue, a suitable subspace (that coincides with the Discrete Prolate Spheroidal Sequences basis when the signal model is that of sinusoids in noise) is proposed that offers robust performance. The interest lies in the fact that such detectors are really easy to implement and we are able to derive their analytic performance.<|endoftext|>ONTOLOGY BASED RANKING WEB DOCUMENTS USING SEMANTIC SIMILARITY
Many web search engines retrieve enormous amounts of irrelevant information in answer to users 'queries. The semantic web provides a promising approach to improve search operation. This paper is to show how to measure the closeness (relevancy) of retrieved web sites to user query-concepts and re-rank them accordingly. Therefore paper proposed a new relevancy measure to re-rank retrieved documents. We termed the approach ''ontology concepts'' and it on the domain of electronic commerce. Results suggested that we could re-rank the retrieved documents (web sites) according to their relevancy to the search query. This paper proposed a method depends on the frequency of the ''ontology concepts'' in the retrieved documents and uses this to compute their relevancy<|endoftext|>Caring for Investors or Preying by Managers? Strategic Use of Dividend Payments by Mutual Funds
Dividend payments attenuate agency issues, but they can also be used by managers for management entrenchment. Using open-ended mutual funds, we find that dividend yield (DY) is positively (negatively) related to a fund’s post-dividend net cash flow (performance). In addition, we find that managers of small funds and funds suffering from low net cash flows (NCFs) have stronger incentives to distribute high dividends to increase their NCFs. More importantly, high-DY funds attract disproportionally more individual investors. These results suggest that fund managers take advantage of the individual investors’ irrational behavior of dividend chasing, thereby using dividends strategically to benefit managers at the expense of fund investors.<|endoftext|>Tunable optical assembly of subwavelength particles by a microfiber cavity
Optical assembly as a multiple optical trapping technique enables patterned arrangements of matter ranging from atoms to microparticles for diverse applications in biophysics, quantum physics, surface chemistry, and cell biology. Optical potential energy landscapes based on evanescent fields are conventionally employed for optical assembly of subwavelength particles, but are typically limited to predefined patterns and lacking in tunability. Here we present a microfiber photonic crystal cavity applicable for tunable optical assembly of subwavelength particles along a flexible path. This is enabled by excellent mechanical flexibility of the microfiber cavity as well as its broadband photonic crystal reflectors. By virtue of the broadband reflectors, the lattice constant of the assembled particles is precisely tunable via altering the wavelength of input light. Three-dimensional optical assembly is |

Yes, recently declassified documents show over 500 weapons found.
Hmm critical thinker might start wondering whats in the documents that are still classified? Maybe things that would upset some ppl. Naw.. that couldn't be it.
4. Old chem/bio weapon stockpiles that were never found/reported during all of Hans Blix and the UN weapons inspectors tours (12 yrs worth).
Nope, none of this adds up to anything.
C. We supply most of your working hardware.. or are you going to use your leaky UK subs as tanks?
Maybe I'm taking this out of context but.....
Trying to mitigate the "few" deaths today as opposed to how many died during the last few days of WWI or WWII??
"Ahhh whats a few thousand here and a few thousand there? Why hell just 55 years ago we lost that many in a single day huh huh huh.. we are doing way better now. Sure it bothers me but what can I do about it? I think it's great whats going on over there.. "
Brave? I thought it was their duty. Much like your grandpappy was doing his duty 55 60 years ago these guys are doing the same thing and nothing more. It's their job.
Do you honestly grieve?
This I gotta hear..OK smart guy please explain to me how a Pentagon report that says 500 weapons that are classifed as WMD have been found makes me delusional??
What I see is that there is a difference between being a convicted felon and just accused. Once again you continue to try to associate Abramhoff to the Republican party. I keep forgetting, which office was he elected to again. You liberals can't seem to tell me. DeLay? Still under indictment and if found guilt I'm on record as having said "throw the book at him". YOU even gave me credit for that statement...which contradicts your statement above. Cunningham, I am also on record as having said "Good Ridence".
Now let me ask you again about another convicted criminal, Bill Clinton, convicted felon. Are YOU going to say he was a slug and "good ridence"....No, I guess not. I am just going to get an ear full of excuses and conspiracy theories and talk about "sex", etc.
Double standard laid bare!
What do ignorant kids say these days?...oh yeah, "POWN3D"
Uh, like who?
Colin Powell? There is no secret that he and the President just had differing views. Would you like to know how many people resigned under Clinton? Let me give you a hint, it's MORE than those who have left Bush.
And if they are "cronies" then they would not have resigned by definition. So which is it? Are they cronies or did they resign.
Uh boy. 500 sarin and mustard gas shells (that are still "LETHAL" according to the report) could be denonated by extremists in a subway or baseball game in NEW YORK and kill Tens of Thousands of Innocent civilians. Didn't you hear the story just last week about an aborted plan by Al-Qaeda to use nerve agents in the New York Subway and they were just 45 days from carrying out the plan?
It amazes me that someone with the motor skills to type on a keyboard can't put those two FACTS together and interpolate the obvious.
Thanks Conn, my day was starting our so dull until you lobbed that post up there. It's a pleasure slamming you with logic.
And next time you put a statement in a quote box make sure I actually wrote it instead of making **** up you pin head.
The truth speaks for itself Todd. I don't need to argue with you about it. You seem to be one of only a handful of trailer trash pseudo-intellectuals that actually took the bait.
Good gawd, this is like Rambo and Cheech & Chong and Arnie (and maybe Dirk Diggler) all put into a blender together...
So rather then rebut his statement, or show how these aren't really WMD's you resort to calling him names and posting pics.
In addition, your claims of ridicule are a bit misleading as well.
" WASHINGTON -- Democrats on Thursday ridiculed comments by two leading congressional Republicans that weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq."
So the Dems and blogs are jumping on him for bringing this up, but the Repubs are pretty much sitting back and just watching. They know he's all but done for. My guess is he was sent out as a stalking horse to test the waters. He's got nothing to lose, and the republicans can watch the Dems machine, and work out their next strategy.
Okay.. So let me circle back around so you can clairify what the context of your message was.
Experience? Okay, what exactly has been your experience with WAR? Why do you feel it is "the best thing" about it? Are you aware that people are dieing? Do you like death OR is it that it doesn't matter if others die in this war? Clairify what you mean by the above statement because it's very... obscure to me.
If I were to pick say.. the war of independance.. how much better is this war than that war and why is this one better.
First I want to state.
I'm a soldier and your "statistics" are bullshit, they mean nothing to me. Those "statistics" are my brothers and sisters in arms who are dead.
1. How in your mind does the 2500 who died in the current war seem any more or less significant than the 3200 in the last 3 days of WWI?
2. You call them "brave." Tell me what in your mind makes them "brave."
3. You say you grieve. Granted each individual grieves in his or her own way but how has the death of one sildier effected your life and has cause you to grieve for his or her loss? What was their significance to you?
Hehehe... Shaaaa... Don't tell anyone but I have a big letter S attached to my underoos. You should see what happens when I get into a phone booth.
Yeah, by desparate Democrats who are scratching and clawing for ANY chance of winning an election...something they haven't done for 12 years.
How's that for "truth speaking for itself"?
Experience? Okay, what exactly has been your experience with WAR?
LIFE experience Bill. In other words, experience in understanding what motivates people and why they do what they do. Knowing the answer to this is why I have been successful in sales for 20 years.
2500 American soldiers have died but TENS OF THOUSANDS of American and Middle Eastern civilians are alive today because of their sacrifice. NO Bill, WAR is not useless. It is regrettable, it is painful, it is something to be avoided at all other costs, but it is NECESSARY at times and if you can't see that I understand why so much is "obscure to you". As for death, I believe I already stated in a previous post my greif for my fallen Americans. How many times shall I repeat it before you get it.
It's not. They are both necessary acts to resist a dictatorship and defend the idea of freedom.
Fine, I want to state that the fact that you wore the uniform does not give you any special insight into the cause or justification of war. The fact that you have no education in political science and no experience in international relations makes you even LESS of an authority on the subject. I spent 6 years living overseas and working with and in all kinds of hostile environments. I worked witht he navies of the world building submarines and I built control systems for oil rigs in places the army would be afraid to go, so knock off the "I was a soldier once so I know more about everything than you" crap. It's getting tiresome.
Brothers in freedom, Sisters in courage. Your claim to have some special relationship with them is fallin on def ears. Because you DON'T. It is no different than any other freedom loving American who greives for our loved ones who died in 9/11. Get off your high horse and TRY to make a point.
6 hours, not days. The World War 1 Armistice was signed at 5:00 am on November 11, 1918. But the terms of the Armistice did not call for ceasation of hostilities until 11:00 am. Hence, for 6 more hours after everyone KNEW that the war was over, fighting continued. In those 6 hours 3200 American soldiers lost their lives!
THAT is the definition of a pointless waste of life. Those men TRUELY died in vien. Yet do I hear you blathering about their loss? No, you just ***** about the 2500 we have lost over a skillfully fought 3 year campaign that is ANYTHING but pointless. Those 2500 men and women contributed to the liberation of MILLIONS, To the security in America of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS for nearly 5 years now, and to the preservation of COUNTLESS scores of people who would be dead today if Saddam your buddy was still in power to develop his WMD. This is not rocket science Bill.
The willingness to put themselves in harms way for those who can not defend themselves, like the Iraqi and Afghani people, American citizens, and world peace in general.
3. You say you grieve. Granted each individual grieves |

The three-dimensional structure of a 43-residue active, synthetic peptide encompassing the peripheral subunit-binding domain of dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase from the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Bacillus stearothermophilus has been determined by means of a multi-cooling dynamical simulated annealing protocol using restraints derived from 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A total of 442 experimentally derived restraints including 13 dihedral angle (phi, chi 1) restraints were used. A final set of 35 structures was calculated with a root-mean-square deviation from the mean co-ordinates of 0.36 A for the backbone atoms and 0.96 A when side-chain heavy atoms were included for the well-defined region comprising residues Val7 to Leu39. Although assignments were made and sequential connectivities observed for the N-terminal six and C-terminal four residues, the absence of long-range NOEs suggests that the terminal regions are largely unstructured. The binding domain contains two short parallel alpha-helices (residues Val7 to Lys14 and Lys32 to Leu39), a3(10)-helix (residues Asp17 to Val21) and a structured loop made up of overlapping beta-turns (residues Gln22 to Leu31), which enclose a close-packed hydrophobic core. The loop is stabilized to a large extent by Asp34. This residue is conserved in all peripheral subunit-binding domains and its carboxylate side-chain forms a set of side-chain-main-chain hydrogen bonds with the main-chain amide protons of Gly23, Thr24, Gly25 and Leu31 and a side-chain-side-chain hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl group of Thr24. We propose that a peripheral subunit-binding site may be located in the loop region, which contains a series of highly conserved residues and provides a number of potential recognition sites. The structured region of the binding domain, comprising 33 residues, represents an exceptionally short amino acid sequence with defined tertiary structure that has no disulphide bond, ligand or cofactor to stabilize the fold. It may be approaching the lower size limit for a three-dimensional structure possessing features characteristic of larger structures, including a close-packed, non-polar interior. The organization of the side-chains in the hydrophobic core may have implications for de novo protein design.<|endoftext|>Exemplar-inspired strategies for low-resource spoken keyword search in Swahili
We present exemplar-inspired low-resource spoken keyword search strategies for acoustic modeling, keyword verification, and system combination. This state-of-the-art system was developed by the SINGA team in the context of the 2015 NIST Open Keyword Search Evaluation (OpenKWS15) using conversational Swahili provided by the IARPA Babel program. In this work, we elaborate on the following: (1) exploiting exemplar training samples to construct a non-parametric acoustic model using kernel density estimation at test time; (2) rescoring hypothesized keyword detections through quantifying their acoustic similarity with exemplar training samples; (3 ) extending our previously proposed system combination approach to incorporate prosody features of exemplar keyword samples.<|endoftext|>AMES — Remember how you felt about this Iowa State basketball team earlier this season? I’m speaking of the group that Digger Phelps once tabbed as a Final Four sleeper pick. That team that defeated Michigan and Iowa before Christmas and grinded out a Diamond Head Classic championship. The team that I’m speaking of is the one that started 14-0.
That is the group of Cyclones that showed up and thumped Texas 85-76 on Tuesday night in Hilton Coliseum – not the Iowa State team that seemed to lack overall intensity in each of its last three contests. The Cyclones might have won games against TCU and Texas Tech during that stretch but even so, it didn’t feel like this squad was clicking.
The team that won its 20th game of the season on Tuesday vs. No. 19 Texas was impressive though. In a world where fancy math says a lot about the legitimacy of a college basketball team, Iowa State passed the ever-so-important eye test in this win. That is undeniable and the surge comes at the perfect time, as March is only 11 days away.
After committing a season-high 18 turnovers and being physically dominated on the glass the first time these two teams met, the Cyclones were sharp as a tack and tough as an old leather boot in round two. Iowa State only committed six turnovers compared to the 21 assists that were dished out on 30 field goals.
Texas might have won the rebounding battle in this one (44-35), but that was it. Iowa State out-scored the Longhorns 40-18 in the paint. The Cyclones scored 17 points off of turnovers compared to Texas’ six. Iowa State had an 8-2 advantage of fast break points.
“That’s important when you look at the final box,” Hoiberg said.
Perhaps the most prevalent eyebrow raising stat of the night belonged to Texas’ 285-pound center Cameron Ridley. In round one, the sophomore manhandled Iowa State to the tune of 16 points and 11 rebounds. This time though, he didn’t make a single shot. Heck, Ridley only got four field goal attempts off in the entire game.
Ridley had a staggeringly low five rebounds for the Longhorns.
Melvin Ejim posted another Big 12 Player of the Year type of performance in the Iowa State victory. After throwing down what seemed like 15 jams, Ejim’s final box score showed 25 points and eight rebounds.
DeAndre Kane and Georges Niang joined Ejim in double figures with 22 and 20 points respectively. It marked the first time that three Cyclones scored 20 points or more in a game since Feb. 13, 2013 when Tyrus McGee, Will Clyburn and Ejim did so at Texas.
Up next for the Cyclones is a Saturday road trip to TCU. That game will tip at 3 p.m. and be televised on ESPN2.
*** Iowa Governor Terry Branstad was in attendance.
*** Freshman point guard Monte Morris dished out six assists to zero turnovers. His assist-to-turnover ratio is now 50:6 in Big 12 play.
*** Melvin Ejim is now the third leading rebounder in Iowa State history with 963. Ejim passed Bill Cain (957; 1968-70) in the win.
*** Ejim has scored in double figures in 22 of 23 games this season.
*** This is the third-fastest Iowa State team to get to 20 wins in history. The 2000 and 2001 teams are the only groups to do it sooner.
<|endoftext|>Successful reduction of ACTH secretion in a case of intractable Cushing's disease with pituitary Crooke's cell adenoma by combined modality therapy including temozolomide.
Crooke's cell adenoma (CCA) is an aggressive subtype of corticotroph adenoma; however, CCA is associated with a high incidence of low expression of methyl guanine methyl transferase (MGMT), suggesting that temozolomide (TMZ) treatment might be effective for this tumor type. The case of a 56-year-old woman with Cushing's disease caused by a pituitary CCA is presented. At the age of 38 years, the patient presented to our hospital with polyuria and a visual field defect. MRI and laboratory studies showed a 4.5-cm-diameter pituitary tumor with plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and serum cortisol levels of more than 500 pg/mL and 40 μg/dL, respectively. At 39 years of age, the patient underwent a craniotomy, and her plasma ACTH and cortisol levels decreased to less than 200 pg/mL and 10 μg/dL, respectively; however, these hormone levels increased gradually to 3,940 pg/mL and 70 μg/dL, respectively, by the time the patient was 56 years old. Histopathological re-examination of the previously resected specimen showed that the pituitary tumor was MGMT-negative CCA. TMZ treatment after the second operation decreased the plasma ACTH levels from 600-800 pg/mL to 70-300 pg/mL. No signs of recurrence were observed in the seven years following these treatments with added prophylactic radiation therapy. These clinical findings suggest that TMZ treatment to patients with CCA accompanied with elevated ACTH may be good indication to induce lowering ACTH levels and tumor shrinkage.<|endoftext|>Dose calibration optimization and error propagation in polymer gel dosimetry
This study reports on the relative precision, relative error, and dose differences observed when using a new full-image calibration technique in NIPAM-based x-ray CT polymer gel dosimetry. The effects of calibration parameters (e.g. gradient thresholding, dose bin size, calibration fit function, and spatial remeshing) on subsequent errors in calibrated gel images are reported. It is found that gradient thresholding, dose bin size, and fit function all play a primary role in affecting errors in calibrated images. Spatial remeshing induces minimal reductions or increases in errors in calibrated images. This study also reports on a full error propagation throughout the CT gel image pre-processing and calibration procedure thus giving, for the first time, a realistic view of the errors incurred in calibrated CT polymer gel dosimetry. |

Also Known As: "dite de Courcy"
Gilbert Crispin, baron of Tillie...
Guillaume I Crespin, baron du Be...
Balderic the Teuton, 1st Lord of...
The parentage of Gunnora provided by the well-researched Foundation for Medieval Genealogy conflicts with many popular family trees that list Gunnora, wife of Gilbert, as the daughter of Foulques III d'Aunou.
BALDRIC, son of ---. According to Orderic Vitalis[1195], "Baldricus Teutonicus" came to Normandy with his brother Wigerius [Viger/Wigerich] to serve Duke Richard II and married the neptis of Gilbert de Brionne. Her exact parentage is not known. In the same passage, Orderic records that the couple had "six sons and several daughters", naming the sons as "Nicolaus…de Baschevilla et Fulco de Alnou, Rodbertus de Curceio et Ricardus de Nova-Villa, Baldricus de Balgenzaio et Wigerius Apuliensis", and that he arranged the marriage of "Elizabeth sororem suam" to "Fulconi de Bona-Valle". He held the honour of Bocquencé..
Gunnor 1, 2 was born 999 in Tillieres, Eure, France. She married Gilbert CRISPIN on 1021 in Tillieres, Eure, France.
F i Esilia CRISPIN was born 1022 and died 1087.
M ii William CRISPIN was born 1025 and died Jan 1074.

he inherited Brionne, becoming one of the most powerful landowners in Normandy. He married Gunnora d'Aunou (Gunmore d'Ainon) in 1012. He had children by his wife and a mistress.
Another account is below claims Gilbert's mother was a mistress who was also mistress to Robert the Magnificent.
Richard fitz Gilbert's mother, Herleve, daughter of Fulbert the tanner, came from Falaise and rose to a prominent status in French nobility despite her ordinary upbringing. At the age of 16 she met Gilbert, Count of Brionne, who fathered Richard fitz Gilbert with her. A year or so later, she gave birth to William the Conqueror, who was fathered by Robert "The Devil" Duke of Normandy. Shortly before Duke Robert's death in 1035, she was persuaded by him to marry Herluin, Viscount of Conteville. By him she bore two sons, Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, and Robert, Count of Mortain. Both men, along with Richard fitz Gilbert, accompanied William the Conqueror and played major roles in the conquest of England 3.
Gunnor d'Aunou was sister of Fouques d'Aunou.

<|endoftext|>Kim Kardashian was forced to flee Paris today after being held at gunpoint in a terrifying armed robbery in the early hours of the morning.
But despite her husband cancelling his show mid-way through, Kendall Jenner ditching her night out, and Kim's own team confirming the details - some fans reckon there's more to the shock armed robbery than meets the eye.
A stream of bizarre and jaw-dropping conspiracy theories have begun circulating online, as fans eagerly await word from Kim herself following the incident.
While thousands of fans have come out in support of the star following her horrific ordeal, a small minority are suggesting that entire thing could have been faked.
Another added: "What are the chances this Kim Kardashian robbery is fake? Under or over 85%?"
And one Twitter user wrote: "Why do I have a feeling this Kim kardashian story is a conspiracy theory lol."
Numerous French media commentators are echoing their thoughts, despite an on-going police investigation into the horrifying incident.
Was Kim Kardashian targeted by infamous Pink Panther gang?
Kim had millions of pounds worth of jewellery stolen in the horrific armed robbery.
And as police hunt the "five" masked gunmen who are claimed to have tied her up as they ransacked her room, it's now claimed the incident bares strong similarities to past crimes carried out by the infamous Pink Panther gang.
The gang of criminals have famously stolen more than £280million worth of jewels in high-profile heists ever since 1984.
Now, it's claimed the terrifying ordeal reality star Kim was put through last night has several chilling similarities.
Is it all to boost ratings for the show?
Keeping Up With The Kardashians is known for its shock plot twists and bizarre storylines, but now some fans are even claiming the robbery could be a plot to 'boost ratings' in a cruel new theory.
One Twitter user wrote: "Please don't start the theory the @KimKardashian robbery was a set up for ratings for Keeping up with the Kardashians."

The charging follow-up to the Jack McClure thriller First Daughter from the New York Times top rated creator of The Bourne Sanction and The Bourne Deception Jack McClure, Special Advisor and dearest companion to the new President of the United States, translates the world uniquely in contrast to whatever is left of us. It's his most prominent risk, and his most prominent resource.
An American representative, apparently on a political outing to the Ukraine, turns up dead on the island of Capri. At the point when the President asks him to discover how and for what reason, Jack sets out from Moscow crosswise over Eastern Europe, taking after a risky trail of negotiators, lawbreakers, and degenerate legislators. Pushed into the middle of a worldwide jigsaw astound, Jack's interesting dyslexic personality permits him to assemble the pieces that others can't see. Still unreconciled to the late demise of his girl and the disintegration of his marriage, Jack tackles an individual mission alongside his official one: keeping safe from damage his two far-fetched, startling, and inconsistent associates—Annika Dementieva, a maverick Russian FSB operator, and Alli Carson, the President's little girl.
As he battles to keep both young ladies safe and uncover the answers he looks for, chased by everybody from the Russian mafia to the Ukrainian police to his own NSA, Jack adapts exactly how far up the American and Russian political steps defilement and injustice has come to. In the vein of Eric Van Lustbader's most recent top of the line Jason Bourne books, Lustbader goes up against us a universal experience in this effective page-turner that will keep you perusing as the night progressed.

HERRADURA BEACH - Sweat pours down my face and my biceps tense as I pull back on the pole and reel the line in quickly. "You can do it!" yells Captain Daniel from the deck above, but my arms grow tired and I lose my footing as the fish runs out with the line yet again. I've been playing this game for a good 10 minutes, knowing full well that the big guy at the other end weighs more than any fish I've ever caught. I want him on board now!
I use the stern railing as leverage as I yank the pole back and reel in the slack to keep the line taut. As the fish nears the boat, crew members scoop him up in a net and throw him at my feet. It's a yellowfin tuna, weighing a good 40 pounds.
"Call me Ishmael," I say to my friend Jeff Katz.
Don't get me wrong. I'm no Hemingwayesque hunter displaying my machismo in a Central American outpost. At 43, coming off knee surgery last winter after a ligament popped like a wishbone at Stowe, I simply want to play out my version of "Middle-Aged Man and the Sea." This is an opportunity to give my rehabilitated body a weeklong endurance test. My father-in-law had a textbook midlife crisis: ditched his family, married his secretary, and drove off in a Mercedes convertible. I happen to love his daughter and our kids too much to do something like that. And I'm an adrenaline junkie. All I want to do is shake off the rust (and a heavy layer of suburban malaise) with a dose of adventure.
I enlist Jeff, who leads a far too sedentary life socked away in a Boston office building trying to reach his law firm's quota of billable hours. We will spend a week traversing that outdoor lover's playground called Costa Rica. This little country bordered by Nicaragua and Panama, and by the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, includes terrain ranging from 4,800-foot peaks in the cool environs of a cloud forest to the sweltering humidity of a Pacific rain forest, ideal for people who want to sample a different sport each day.
"I finally feel my heart beating," says Jeff after splashing through a stream on his mountain bike. We're on a dirt road at the base of a perfectly cone-shaped volcano, not unlike Osorno in Chile and Mount Fuji in Japan. The night before, Jeff and I had enjoyed the best light show ever as we watched a river of red flow from the crater of Arenal, one of the most active volcanoes in the Western Hemisphere. Even as we woke in the morning, you could hear the hammering of the eruptions and see puffs of smoke from the smoldering lava.
We dodge potholes as we head up and down a rolling dirt road lined with orchids and tropical green birds. As we pass a small village where cows lounge in the shade of palm trees and kids scream out "Hola!" Lake Arenal, a 25-mile-long man-made body of water, comes into view. The waterfront is surprisingly undeveloped with massive fig trees lining the shore and jagged peaks of the cloud forest in the distance. For a break, we stop at a raging river and eat fresh sweet pineapple. As we near the end of a four-hour ride, pedaling past fields of papaya, we look up at a tall trumpet tree and see the unmistakable yellow beak of a toucan. Hopping along the branch, he looks exactly like Toucan Sam on the Froot Loops box.
That afternoon, still wearing our muddy clothes, we drive around the entirety of Lake Arenal and head into the mountains. An hour outside Monteverde, the gateway to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve, we're forced to slow down by the condition of the road, a rocky, pothole-strewn obstacle course. But this gives us the opportunity to savor the countryside, a velvety green carpet with steep slopes dotted with sheep, cows, and horses. Upon our arrival at the hotel, we plop down 20 bucks each to take the reins and try our hands at being gauchos. We learn soon enough that even a mellow horseback ride in this fertile farmland can turn into a harrowing experience.
It starts off easily enough, through a small village and past pastures, rewarding us with views of the Pacific coast far below. The reddish-orange sun |
fry grease run your live-in school bus. Last fall, a British team called Biotruck crossed the Sahara in a pickup that ran on chocolate waste from a candy factory. And in March, New Zealander Pete Bethune set off from Spain on his second attempt to break the 75-day round-the-world record in Earthrace, a biodiesel powerboat he's run on everything from cruise-ship waste oil to liposuctioned fat—a few ounces off his own skinny frame and 20 pounds donated from two larger friends. ("I cooked it up in a big crayfish pot on the stove," he explained.)
The hopes for more large-scale biomass energy, however, lie in the little "beasties," as one British researcher put it, that digest organic waste, including bacteria that can finish off a meal of sewage or switchgrass with a dainty burp of hydrogen, methane, or ethanol. General Motors has entered into a partnership with a startup called Coskata to let patented microbes turn everything from landfill waste to old tires into ethanol. Researchers at the University of Arkansas have experimented with turning poultry litter—the bedding and droppings under chickens—into biofuel, while British researchers have fed delicious, chewy nougat (more candy!) to bacteria to create hydrogen.
And then there's algae. While bacteria digest carbon in the form of organic matter, algae can suck it straight from the air, like a freshman with a bong. Here's an organism that can slurp up our biggest waste problem and, through photosynthesis, turn it into two high-value commodities: algae meal, a protein that's already sold in health-food stores as spirulina and chlorella, and algae oil, which can be turned into biodiesel. "Where do you think petroleum came from—ancient dinosaurs?" says Isaac Berzin, an Israeli-born chemical engineer whose Cambridge, Massachusetts–based GreenFuel Technologies has run algae-to-biofuels test projects at power plants in Louisiana, Arizona, and Kansas. "No, from ancient organic material, which was mostly algae. It's how God created the world, right?"
Scientists like Berzin tend to get a little moony over algae: Its cells can divide every six hours and it thrives everywhere from the geysers of Yellowstone to the Arctic to the Dead Sea. "They're very, very adaptive," Berzin says. "And they're kind of cute when you look in the microscope and see them swimming around with their little mustaches." He sent me a video clip that showed algae cells "kissing," and I had to admit they were adorable.
But what really makes biologists salivate is algae's off-the-charts energy potential. If emissions could be pumped right from a power plant's smokestack to an on-site "algae farm"—beds of microalgae suspended in water and exposed to the sun—the algae, with their scandalous replication rates, could turn every two tons of carbon dioxide into 1,500 pounds of protein and 500 pounds of oil.
"If you used algae to mitigate just 20 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions from U.S. power generation," Berzin says, "you'd be producing 2.8 million barrels of biodiesel per day—that's, like, 20 percent of our oil imports. How much do we buy from Saudi Arabia? Less than that." Down the road, a coal plant could get carbon credits for reducing its emissions—the equivalent of, say, $30 per ton saved—while the farmer could sell the algae meal and oil for hundreds of dollars a ton. "That's why the symbiosis is so wonderful," Berzin says. "It's perfect love."
Perfect love, of course, is elusive: Attempts in the 1980s by government researchers mostly used open ponds that required tons of water and raised more questions than answers: What about evaporation? Can you just sieve out algae that's suspended in water? How about flocculation (letting the algae clump and settle)? Most important, how can you bring down "farming" costs enough to deliver the algae oil for $1 to $2 a gallon? Some 200 startups are racing to answer these questions, running pilot projects, chasing investors, and chasing investors some more. To add incentive, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the research arm of the Pentagon, is seeking proposals for affordable ways to churn out thousands of gallons of a JP-8 jet fuel alternative from either algae or biomass.
Researchers, of course, are closely guarding the innovations they're hatching to make algae-based fuel a reality. But some may be closer than you think. Entrepreneurs at one California company, Solazyme, use genetically modified algae to turn switchgrass and woody debris into biofuel, which they're testing in a Mercedes. Berzin's GreenFuel Technologies used giant water-and-algae-filled plastic bags suspended from frames to test different algae species for local site conditions; he calculated yields of up to 1.7 million gallons of fuel a year for every 250 acres of land devoted to algae farming. (Soy, he says, yields 11,700 gallons in a similar space, and rapeseed, a European favorite, 42,800 gallons.) Berzin just signed a $92 million deal to install an algae farm at a cement plant in Europe, and expects to have a commercial contract with an American power plant this year.
Then there's Jim Sears, a systems engineer whose Boulder, Colorado–based A2BE Carbon Capture startup is working with scientists from New Mexico's Sandia and Los Alamos national labs, among others, on the DARPA solicitation. (Sears has worked with NASA and the National Institutes of Health, and he helped perfect the Hump-O-Meter, a device worn by cows that detects sexual activity, so that it would be strong enough to "withstand the rigor of the blissful moment.") For full-scale algae-fuel production, Sears has designed closed systems of 50-by-450-foot clear plastic photobioreactors (think water-bed bladders full of algae). With 16 to 32 million acres of photobioreactors spread around the world, Sears believes, some 3.66 gigatons of CO2 could be consumed each year. That's one-seventh of the way toward halting the world's emissions at 1990 levels by 2050. Sears's project, like the others here, is planned largely for nonarable land using mostly brackish water.
No one, of course, believes that algae can take us all the way home. "No matter how gaga or depressed you are about biofuels," says Daniel M. Kammen, the founder of Berkeley's Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory, "solar, wind, and, whether you like it or not, nuclear and hydro are going to be much bigger pieces in the end. If the forecasts coming out of my lab are correct, it would be crazy to truck liquid fuels around in 20 or 30 years."
Still, it's encouraging that tin-hat solutions like algae and garbage, things that seemed downright wacko not so long ago, are being seen as serious parts of the energy revolution. "The changes that I think we're going to see between the year 2000 and 2030," says Douglas Kirkpatrick, a program manager for DARPA's Strategic Technology office, "will be very similar in magnitude to the changes we saw between 1900 and 1930. In 1900, man had yet to fly, and the common mode of transportation was the horse."
In other words, he's saying, be patient. The future is coming—we just have to get it out of the trash. Me, I've got a gallon of algae biodiesel on the way from a catfish farm in Alabama. And I've upped my chocolate intake considerably. Never underestimate the possibilities of a little belly fat as a renewable resource.

Friday means different things in different parts of the world. For some of us, Friday is our day of worship. How well I remember Scotch Presbyterians arguing that “One could never worship on a Friday” when Pakistan changed its weekend to Friday and Saturday. A year later said Scots were worshiping on a Friday.
For others Friday signifies the start of the weekend where all things feel possible. At least for the middle-class among us.
Still others close out their weekend with Fridays, rushing to finish tasks that will remain undone until the next weekend if we don’t get to them.

Well-behaved French children read 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.'
KAI RYSSDAL: I've got three little kids, as I think I've mentioned before. Mostly, they're pretty good guys. But I can definitely sympathize with parents when I see their kids tearing around the supermarket out of control. Or making a mess at the bookstore. Kids are tough to control. Sometimes, though, you see those parents who don't even seem to care. And you wonder . . . What does the person on the other side of the cash register think? Commentator and bookstore clerk Moira Manion gives it to us very . . . very straight.
MOIRA MANION: Excuse me. I'm a clerk at this bookstore. Are those your children?
Hunter and Sophia. Very nice names. Did you happen to notice that they're screaming, pulling items off the shelves, and running around like lab monkeys on mescaline?
Back in the day, mortified parents would take children like that and remove them from the store. My co-workers and I notice your lack of mortification. Your only attempt to rein them in is to stand around, sipping your latte — which is dripping on our carpet by the way — and mumble the mantra, "Hunter. Sophia. Hunter. Sophia." Not particularly effective, is it?
We're curious: Are you allowing their misbehavior because you acted like that at their age, or because you simply don't care?
Now, see, Hunter just tore the cover of that new picture book. Once upon a time, stores had a "You Broke It, You Bought It" policy. These days, retailers will tolerate even the most demonic fits in order to keep you, the customer, happy. But we can't utter a squeak of protest. All we can do is say, "Thanks for coming, have a nice day" as you leave the scene of carnage.
I'm sorry; I sound angry to you? Maybe it's because we employees are caught in the middle. The manager yells at us for the mess your kids made, then he yells at us because we've taken time from our other duties to clean up the mess your kids made. If the store looks bad, it reflects on us. We're hauled into the manager's office and given a warning. The manager never warns the customers. Because the customers have money, and the manager wants it. So he won't look bad.
If employees step out of line, as I'm doing now, and hold you the customers accountable, then you the customer can go to the manager and say, "Fire that lady!" Then, the manager hires another desperate slob who thought his MBA degree would never lead him to picking up after screaming toddlers.
Well, on behalf of retail employees across the country, let me tell you what I'd really like to say: If you ever come into this store again, and allow your spawn to crush Cheerios into the rug and pierce our ears with screams of "I WANNIT!," I will take your neck and snap it like a dry twig. Thanks for coming. Have a nice day.
RYSSDAL: Man, she's right. Her boss isn't gonna like that. Moira Manion works a couple of jobs to support herself as a writer in Minneapolis.

The thrashing of title rivals Liverpool on Monday night has put City’s development side in with a great chance of clamming a prestigious crown, competed for by the biggest and best academies in the country.
It would be a fantastic achievement for the club and the academy structure, which is ranked in the Category One status as one of the best in the country.
However, while the ultimate goal is to see some of the current under-23s push on and break into Claude Puel’s first-team squad, academy manager Ian Cawley says the goal of the academy is not solely to produce future first team stars.
There is so much more to the Category One status than just football development and Cawley, who has worked for the club for three years and has headed up the academy for the past year, says the main goal is to produce rounded young men as well as footballers.
City’s promising young players are not just educated on how to be a top professional, as part of the Category One scheme, Cawley says they are educated on how to be men of integrity.
“We are not just developing footballers, we are developing people,” Cawley explains. “It is about holistic development. One of our strap lines is ‘developing men of integrity’.
“We have lifestyle projects. At under-eights level we talk about organisation, how you get your kit bag ready, and as they go through age groups, we do other stuff things like how to communicate and what is appropriate and what isn’t.
“Then at under-16s we talk bout anti-doping and then on to sexual health, financial planning, equality and diversity: we call it our lifestyle programme.
“We want young men who not only can represent the club on the pitch but out in the community.
“If they go on to play for the first team they will be doing that.
“People think privileged young footballers but our youth team probably spend 60 percent of their time on football specific training and the other 40 percent on their community training.
“It is a really important part of our strategy. We want players who can contribute to the first team but also to the wider community.”
Part of that strategy sees the under-18 players contributing to a food bank in the city every Friday afternoon, a move designed, says Cawley, to keep the players grounded.
“We have a Wider World scheme to make them understand there is a wider world away from the football bubble,” he said.
“We need to make sure they stay connected and grounded.
“Some go into Primary Schools to deliver speeches. They get careers advice, and they volunteer.
“All our under-18s are on a rota go to the local food bank in the city. They work with Action Homeless in the food bank on Friday afternoons.
“We couldn’t have the resources to do that if they weren’t Cat One status. Cat One gives you the scope to do interesting, creative things like that.”
The ultimate goal is, however, to bring young players through into the first team, and Cawley said the club is proud of the number of young, local players who have made the breakthrough, after years of dedication.
“Most of our players have been with us since under-eights,” he said.
“Ben Chilwell was under-tens, Jeff Schlupp was with us since eight. They are local lads.
“Hamza Choudhury and Josh Knight have been with us since they were eight. They are local Leicester lads.
“We have invested in them, and they and their parents have committed ten years of their lives, before they even get into the youth team.
“They are local lads and academy graduates who have worked incredibly hard.
“We are proud of them as players - and as young people.”<|endoftext|>Master of Science in Real Estate

finding parts pulled and shipped to me on ebay for less than what he was asking. My dream would be to find one I could afford and bring home to work off of. I am starting to doubt myself. Thinking I am over my head. I do enjoy doing stuff like this but I want to punch the guy right in the face that I bought this from, and he is a good friend. Who in there right mind would disassemble a car and not take pictures and bag each bolt. Sometimes I enjoy this and other times I am ready to give up. I got the car for $1,500 knowing thats what he bought it for. He put $4,000 into just getting all the rust fixed. I gave him the $1,500 he wanted and I have another $1,250 in brakes, hoses, struts and bushings. I am not sure I could get my money back out at this pint. How can you go about selling a car like this?
Just buy the stainless kit for the non-critical parts and buy the critical fasteners according to the spreadsheets that are out there. I believe Lazeum compiled a pretty good list.
Don't know if this helps much but I use a tap and die kit that came with a feeler gauge for pitch to determine what diameter/pitch is needed for a particular bolt hole.
Never use suspension bolts twice (ok, let say three times), they expand, you stressed them, you're brinelling the threads as a result the torque/tension relationship is becoming way out. You risk to get bolts to snap or to get loose while driving.
Here's the link with data you need.
This is a good kit for non-structural bolts and fasteners. With only a few exceptions, everything was correct, bagged and labeled. For the structural (suspension) 10.9 bolts, I got most of what I needed from these guys. It was cheaper to buy in bulk than trying to buy just what I needed.
Love these guys too for metric, including JIS sized nuts and bolts.
So about the plating... What process was used for the original factory plating? I know pretty much nothing about the subject, but I've usually heard it referred to as "cad plating", and (because that's what I always heard), I propagated that term. Is it cadmium or zinc?
Are those parts you just got back done with the same plating material and process as OEM?
PS - Those parts are beautiful, regardless of the details!
Is it Cad or Zinc?
It seems that some were Cad Plated and some were Zinc. It's been argued about for years.
I can only tell you the nuts,bolts,washers and other small parts I took to our Materials Lab were Cad Plated. {when I say "our", I mean Honeywell Space Systems}. They have several ways of identifying the specific compounds of any materials, and thus specify the proper handling and disposal procedures for recycling. I'll take their word for it.
Other people have had parts tested in one way or another - and were told it was Zinc.
Cadmium was commonly used in the US and around the world in the post WW-II period for corrosion resistance, up until it was classified as a Hazardous Material by the EPA { a heavy metal}. Which in turn subjected the Cadmium and associated plating solutions to expensive control, containment and disposal fees, as well as to EPA harassment.
Today other than a few Aerospace and Defense contractors or their suppliers - not many Plating companies will use Cadmium for anything. The Plating Shops that can use Cadmium, will charge about three times as much as Zinc plating, because of the additional costs of regulation. {which is not a problem for DOD or NASA}.
Shops that can't or don't offer Cadmium plating - will tell you it is the same as Zinc. Indeed the finished product can look almost identical. Also over the years the technology of electroplating has advanced and different compounds with Zinc can be almost as good as Cadmium in terms of corrosion resistance, but it takes very sophisticated plating control processes - and again it is more expensive.
Given the appearance of nuts, bolts, washers found on now 40+ year old Z's - I'd have to believe that the guys in the Materials Lab were correct, and that most of the parts were originally Cad Plated. Zinc plated parts simply do not last that long.
Im currently restoring my engine bay and like to use the old bolts, i've heard someone used a tumbler or something to clean up the bolts, can anyone provide me a link for a cheap one? Im in desperate need of one.
Somehow I don't think this link will help you too much, but just in case someone in the states has the same idea...
I would check eBay, Amazon, etc.
Try and get a product called "Metal Rescue".
It is non-caustic and biodegradable.
It is expensive----about $25 a gallon---but will non-destructively remove rust from all of your fasteners and can be reused for quite some time before it becomes ineffectual. I've done approximately 25 pounds of fasteners with a gallon of it.
It only attacks the rust and will not damage rubber, glass or plastic.
I tried the tumbler approach and the results weren't very satisfying--lots of rust left in thread recesses and tight corners.
It will strip plating from metal if left in the solution too long, but the parts will be clean of rust and ready for re-plating or re-painting after rinsing in water.
It inhibits rust from reforming for quite some time, although it is not a final step.
I think if you try it you will like it's results.
Is it Cad or Zinc? It's been argued about for years.
Thanks for the details Carl. I've got a buddy who does a lot with antique motorcycle stuff and he often gets parts "cad plated". At least that's what they're telling him...
Next time he and I get together, I'll poke him a little and try to find out if it's truly cad or if it's really zinc. As you described, they come back dull silver, and not yellow. I've thought about including some parts with his orders, but the results don't look "right" for a Z car. Sounds like it may be a secondary process that could be split stream for his stuff and mine.
At this point, my Z is pleasure drive only and shouldn't see any inclement weather. Corrosion resistance for things like hardware is still important, but not as important as it used to be. I had not previously been interested in zinc plating, but Jerry's parts look good enough for me and it sounds like the corrosion resistance would be good enough for my application as well.
Thanks Jerry. I suspect my buddy is getting zinc and doesn't know it.
How agressive was the wire brushing prep you had to do? Did you have to abrade off all the original plating, or just get the big chunks of grease and rust off?
Philadelphia, I spent a lot of time and money in your city. My son went to LaSalle University.
I'd rather trust Nissan, thanks.
As has been discussed so many times before on this forum, there's almost nothing on the early Z cars that was Cadmium plated. Almost everything that was plated was Zinc plated, and the characteristic 'yellow gold' of many nuts, bolts fasteners, brackets and other nick-nacks is simply a passivated finish added after Zinc plating.
From Nissan technical manuals: 亜鉛 ( 'A-en' ) = Zinc.
Jerry, Glad you had enough moolah left after LaSalle to do the Z car parts.
Thanks again for the details. Sounds just like what I usually hear. Want nice clean shiny smooth results out? Then provide nice clean shiny smooth results in. GIGO.
OK, now for the (hopefully not) million dollar question... How much? What did you pay for that tangle of parts?
Two trips to Muncie, IN 40+ miles each way and their minimum fee. Like I said they are good people and do "car guys" stuff basically as a favor. PM sent.
Nice commentary on the plating. The only item that seemed off was the ‘dull silver’ of the plating and the yellow chromate making it shiny. In my plating experience, dull silver will result in dull chromate. If it’s not shiny coming out of the zinc plating bath, the chromate will not make it shinier. Additives to the zinc plating bath allow you to adjust the ‘shiny factor’. That’s the nice feature about doing this at home.
Also, to get the ‘rainbow’ effect, I use a short 20-30 second dip in blue chromate before the 1-2 minute dip in the yellow chromate. Warm DI rinse after this and heat dry and you are good to go.
1. The easiest way to go about this is to order new nuts and bolts on line as a number of others have noted. Unless you are going for a ZCON gold medallion, very few people will notice that your bolt heads are off. Only the few of us anal retentive Z-junkies will notice. Just make sure they are quality parts.
2. Even with great pictures it will be difficult to get the correct bolt in the correct hole for final assembly. Just something to consider. If you install the wrong bolt in the wrong place and try it in several other places, now you have worn your plating off.

Historians of American immigration and religion will appreciate how this single text provides with remarkable clarity the complexity of nineteenth-century America’s “geopolitics of faith” in its spatial and temporal dimensions. Gjerde presents the narratives and counter-narratives with such careful detail that the reader has a sense of engaging each side’s argument firsthand. Although Gjerde avoids any anachronism, most readers will hear in these accounts echoes of the acrimony in contemporary debates concerning education, family and women, and the economy in an ever more religiously diverse and still racially polarized society. Gjerde’s thoughtful reading of America’s ongoing struggles with religious and cultural diversity is clearly evident on every page of this text, a fitting tribute to his scholarly accomplishments.

In order to reduce environmental problems such as global warming, reduction of CO2 emissions is desired, and low reducing agent rate (low coke rate) operation of the blast furnace is expected at integrated steel works. In order to achieve low reducing agent rate operation, burden distribution control techniques such as control of the ore to coke layer thickness in the radial direction have been proposed and implemented. Recently, it has also become necessary to improve permeability in response to deterioration of the grade of raw materials. Therefore, a coke and ore mixed charging technology which is compatible with improvement of reduction efficiency and permeability has been expected, and this type of technology has been implemented in many blast furnaces.1–6) When coke is mixed in the ore layer in a blast furnace, the reduction reaction of the ore and the gasification reaction of the carbonaceous material are simultaneously accelerated.7) This is called a coupling reaction. When the ore and carbonaceous material are arranged in close proximity, it is assumed to be for mutual utilization of the local CO and CO2 gases generated by the reduction and gasification reactions, and a local temperature increase in the carbonaceous material by the heat of the reduction reaction. Some fundamental experiments have been carried out to clarify Effect of Coke Particle Arrangement on Reduction and Gasification Reaction in Mixed Layer of Ore and Coke<|endoftext|>Studies on Morphological Variation in the Ladybird Beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Abdominal Segments in Ventral View
The present study highlights the Morphological Variation in the Ladybird Beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). Coccinellidae abdomen consists 1st to 8th or 1st to 9th segments where is 1st, 2nd and 3rd segments are invisible. Only 4th to 8th in the male or 4th to 9th in the female ventral segments is clearly visible in the ladybird beetles abdomen. Coccinellids abdomen has a great role for oviposition and mimicry behavior for predator. Their segments are more heavily chitinized and flexibly connected to each other and last two segments carrying tarsi or hair. The first abdominal segment is well evaluated and significantly different in each species. Abdominal shape, size and color are representing strong morphological characters in different species of Coccinellids. In their behavioral activity abdomens shape, size, color and hairs may carry seasonal variation for finding odors or honeydew in their host-plant for complete reproduction. The study showed that, different species of Coccinellidae family members have own unique shape and size which are their morphological character. Same time their abdominal color variation also has a big role of different species characters.<|endoftext|>Improved Responses of Grid Connected Quadratic Boost Inverter Based on Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Control
This paper proposes a new method for improving the performance of grid-connected single-stage Quadratic Boost Inverters (QBIs). Compared to the other single-stage boosting inverters, such as ZSI, qZSI, and the basic SSI, QBI has several advantages. It combines the features of a quadratic dc-dc boost converter and Split-Source Inverter (SSI) to give a high voltage gain. As a result, it offers superior benefits in reducing the overall system's complexity, size, and cost. The grid-connected QBI is traditionally controlled via two control loops. The first loop regulates the dc-link voltage using a PI controller, while the second controls the current injected into a grid using the decoupled control approach. In this paper, a sliding mode controller (SMC) is proposed for the grid-side controller to achieve accurate and quick responses instead of using the decoupled approach that is based on PI controllers. The basic principles and detailed analysis of the proposed method are introduced. Moreover, comprehensive simulation results based on the actual parameters of a prototype have verified the overall control system and the advantages of the proposed SMC compared to the PI controller.<|endoftext|>Lateral stability control of a long heavy vehicle combination by active steering of the towed units

A charge amplifier is an electronic current integrator that is frequently employed for converting electrical charges or electrical currents into voltage signals. The charge amplifier is very sensitive to DC drift, since the DC component in the input signal leads to a steady accumulation of charge in the feedback capacitor until the output voltage saturates. Various solutions for automated drift reduction have been proposed, but they either (i) disable measurements of low-frequency signals (mHz range), (ii) non-deterministically reset the charge amplifier output voltage, (iii) cannot compensate for high value drifts (above V/s), or (iv) have a high closed-loop time constant, which decreases the disturbance rejection performance and increases settling time. In this paper, we present a control system for automated drift compensation of the charge amplifier periodic output voltage, which solves the aforementioned problems. The proposed solution (i) efficiently rejects disturbances, (ii) offers fast settling time without affecting the measurement accuracy, (iii) can compensate for drift in a large range (up to tens of V/s), and (iv) is low-cost. The presented solution was tested on a charge amplifier that is part of a custom-made dedicated measurement system for automated high-temperature and low-frequency polarization measurements of dielectric materials. The presented results indicate that the proposed automatic control system efficiently compensates for the drift component of the charge amplifier without affecting the measurement precision. Most importantly, with the modifications presented in this manuscript, this system can be easily adapted for other charge amplifier periodic measurement usage examples.A charge amplifier is an electronic current integrator that is frequently employed for converting electrical charges or electrical currents into voltage signals.

2019 and currently sits in 9th place.
Winning is important to Powers.
She’s just the second female to ever run an American men’s soccer organization.
It’s one of the reasons she chose to step the organization away from it’s on the field relationship with Phoenix Rising FC.
It’s hard to win when your best players are going up and down regularly between Tucson and Phoenix.
FC Tucson and Phoenix Rising FC although on vastly different levels had been rivals prior to the sale that brought them together.
It’s a marriage that has never sat well with the FC Tucson fan-base.
So even though FC Tucson is owned by Phoenix Rising, Powers says the club is essentially an independent.
Five USL1 clubs (Fort Lauderdale CF, New England Revolution II, North Texas SC, Orlando City B, Toronto FC II) are owned by Major League Soccer franchises.
Forward Madison SC is playing the 2020 season under an affiliation with MLS’s Chicago Fire FC after being affiliated with Minnesota United in 2019.
The other five sides Chattanooga Wolves SC, Greenville Triumph SC, Union Omaha, Richmond Kickers and South Georgia Tormenta FC play as independents.
On the surface you would think the clubs owned by MLS organizations would have an advantage in terms of operating budgets and success.
Last season of the four teams that made the playoffs, two (Lansing and Greenville) were independents. North Texas, which is bankrolled by the NFL Kansas Chiefs’ Hunt family, won the first league championship.
North Texas this season however has slumped to 7th place.
Lansing became the first USL1 organization to fold. They drew 2,700 fans per home match last season but owner Tom Dickson said 4,000 fans a night was needed to stay solvent.
FC Tucson barely drew 1,000 fans per home match in 2019 and now is playing in the middle of a Pandemic where no fans can attend contests at Kino North Stadium.
This year the top four teams in the league (Greenville, Chattanooga, Omaha and Richmond) are all independents.
Minor league soccer is a much different ballgame than most minor league sports.
When Tucson had the Sidewinders (affiliated with MLB's Arizona Diamondbacks) and now the NHL Arizona Coyotes operated Roadrunners, you understood that the No. 1 goal was player development and winning came second.
In professional soccer, even in terms of the teams that are owned by MLS clubs, winning seems to come first.
So there’s light at the end of the tunnel for FC Tucson (2-5-1, 7 points, 9th place) as they try and figure out how to begin stacking results.
When fans can return to the stands, drawing more at gate will be key. It’s Powers calling card.
She arrives from the ultra-successful New Mexico United side in Albuquerque that averaged 12,700 fans last season.
She speaks fluent Spanish and believes any path to success for this franchise must be paved with the support of Tucson’s Hispanic community.
The club’s new motto is Fuerza Tucson. It stands for Tucson Strong.
There are eight more matches remaining this season for FC Tucson to show it can indeed be a “strong” force in this still new USL League One.

Billiards exhibit rich dynamical behavior, typical of Hamiltonian systems. In the present study, we investigate the classical dynamics of particles in the eccentric annular billiard, which has a mixed phase space, in the limit that the scatterer is point-like. We call this configuration the near singular, in which a single initial condition (IC) densely fills the phase space with straight lines. To characterize the orbits, two techniques were applied: (i) Finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) and (ii) time recurrence. The largest Lyapunov exponent λ was calculated using the FTLE method, which for conservative systems, λ > 0 indicates chaotic behavior and λ = 0 indicates regularity. The recurrence of orbits in the phase space was investigated through recurrence plots. Chaotic orbits show many different return times and, according to Slater’s theorem, quasi-periodic orbits have at most three different return times, the bigger one being the sum of the other two. We show that during the transition to the near singular limit, a typical orbit in the billiard exhibits a sharp drop in the value of λ, suggesting some change in the dynamical behavior of the system. Many different recurrence times are observed in the near singular limit, also indicating that the orbit is chaotic. The patterns in the recurrence plot reveal that this chaotic orbit is composed of quasi-periodic segments. We also conclude that reducing the magnitude of the nonlinear part of the system did not prevent chaotic behavior.<|endoftext|>The Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust works to advance land sovereignty in the northeast region through permanent, secure land tenure for Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian farmers and land stewards who use the land in a sacred manner that honors our ancestors dreams – for regenerative farming, sustainable human habitat, ceremony, native ecosystem restoration, and cultural preservation.

Introduction Translocation t(12;21)(p13;q22), a recurrent and an invisible chromosomal abnormality, resulting in TEL/AML1 gene fusion, associated with good prognosis, has been described to be a common abnormality, in children with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
Objectives The initial observation of very few TEL/AML1 positive patients at this center on testing by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) led to study the prevalence of the abnormality, compare with the global distribution, and evaluate clinical, pathological, molecular, and cytogenetic features in TEL/AML1 positive patients.
Materials and Methods A retrospective study of all B-ALL patients tested for TEL/AML1 gene fusion during the period January 2009 to November 2020 was undertaken. Clinicopathological, molecular, cytogenetic, treatment, and follow-up details were collected. All publications dealing with TEL/AML1 gene rearrangement were reviewed post Google and PubMed search.
Results TEL/AML1gene rearrangement was assessed by FISH in 178 patients and by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in 36 patients and detected as the sole abnormality in 8.4% patients with additional genetic abnormalities noted on FISH evaluation. Normal karyotype was noted in 14/18 (77.7%) of these patients and 2 had complex karyotype. Complete blood count revealed hemoglobin to range from 35 to 116 g/L (median: 74 g/L), white blood count: 1.01–110×109/L (median: 7.8×109/L), platelet counts: 10–115×109/L (median: 42×109/L), blast count in peripheral smear: 0–98% (median: 41%). Immunophenotyping demonstrated 94.4% were CD34 positive, common acute lymphoblastic leukemia associated antigen (CALLA) positive with aberrant expression of CD13, CD33, CD56, singly or in combination in 58.8%.
Conclusion TEL/AML1 fusion is rare in Indian patients with B-ALL and appears to be much rarer in our region. The detection of relevant specific abnormalities is of fundamental importance in B-ALL patients and these geographic variations can be used in defining management policies.<|endoftext|>Accelerating Progress in Eating Disorders Prevention: A Call for Policy Translation Research and Training
The public health burden of eating disorders is well documented, and over the past several decades, researchers have made important advances in the prevention of eating disorders and related problems with body image. Despite these advances, however, several critical limitations to the approaches developed to date leave the field far from achieving the large-scale impact that is needed. This commentary provides a brief review of what achievements in prevention have been made and identifies the gaps that limit the potential for greater impact on population health. A plan is then offered with specific action steps to accelerate progress in high-impact prevention, most compellingly by promoting a shift in priorities to policy translation research and training for scholars through the adoption of a triggers-to-action framework. Finally, the commentary provides an example of the application of the triggers-to-action framework as practiced at the Strategic Training Initiative for the Prevention of Eating Disorders, a program based at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health and Boston Children’s Hospital. Much has been achieved in the nearly 30 years of research carried out for the prevention of eating disorders and body image problems, but several critical limitations undermine the field’s potential for meaningful impact. Through a shift in the field’s priorities to policy translation research and training with an emphasis on macro-environmental influences, the pace of progress in prevention can be accelerated and the potential for large-scale impact substantially improved.<|endoftext|>Functional state of the beta cell affects expression of both forms of glutamic acid decarbox |

NAVAJO SILVERSMITH
When Thomas Curtis, Sr. was born on the Navajo reservation, his grandmother told him, "You can make it with your vision, your mind, and your ten fingers. Everything is right here in your hands." Her words were clearly prescient. Thomas became one of the most honored practitioners of the art of silversmithing.
Cutis' work was traditional, a reflection of the way he grew up and the way he lived his life. His grandfathers were both silversmiths. Curtis started working in silver when he was twelve years old. "I work the way I used to see the old smiths do it. I just picture the outline and I start the piece from the center out." His early experience as a blacksmith and sheet metal worker helped him become a better silversmith. Curtis made his own tools, forging the dyes, or stamping tools, he used to create patterns on silver from old broken files. "If I do it right, they last for a long time."
Nature and beauty found in it are important to the tradition of Navajo way of life. Curtis said that he found the inspiration for his own work by "looking at the ground, the sky, the plants, and the four seasons." He also turned to sacred traditions. The ketoh, or bow guard is a ceremonial piece worn on the left wrist that provides protection and good luck. Remembering an old silver box that belonged to his grandfather, Curtis adapted the ketoh design for the lids of the sterling silver boxes for which he was renowned.
Just as Curtis learned his craft by watching his grandfather, he shared his skill with his own children and grandchildren. His daughter Jennifer Redhorse, created contemporary silver jewelry and showed her work side by side with her dad's. "My way, my belief, who I am today is made of four things -- my grandmother, my grandfather, my mother, and my father." Cutis says "When my kids picked up my work, that was real encouraging to me because it means the tradition are going to go on."
Before he became a full-time silversmith, Curtis was also a champion bareback rider and a member of the All-Indian Professional Rodeo Cowboy's Association. He always said that he saw a connection between his rodeo days and his silversmithing. "They have both been my bread and butter, my way of making a living. I was really serious about rodeo riding, and I'm the same way about silversmithing." Cutis said he liked being a competitor, whether it's on horseback or at Indian Market.
He won Best of Show at the first show he entered, Northern Arizona Museum Show in the 1980's. He entered his first Indian Market in 1984, winning first place and division ribbons. In May, 2003, he was featured in Arizona Highways. "I guess I was blessed somehow. I make something and it catches someone's eye and they want to buy it."

Health Benefits of Strawberries:
- Boost immunity: Strawberries are high in vitamin C, which is a fast-acting antioxidant known to boost immunity. Just 1-cup of strawberries will give you 100% of your daily vitamin C requirement! It is important to obtain your daily vitamin C requirement from food, since humans are one of the only mammals who cannot produce it naturally.
- Fight cancer: Given its high immunity properties, vitamin C can also help to fight cancer (first and foremost, a healthy body is always the best line of defense against any disease). In addition, strawberries also contain a phytochemical known as ellagic acid, which has the ability to suppress cancer cell growth. Strawberries also contain two powerful antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, which work to neutralize free radicals that have a negative effect on cells.
**I’m sure you’ve heard the terms “free radicals” thrown around by the news and various health sources a lot lately, but you may not know exactly what they are. Free radicals are actually damaged, degenerated cells that, in an effort to repair and regenerate themselves, end up damaging and weakening the healthy cells around them. This can lead to cancer. This is why it’s important to fight those free radicals with proper nutrition!**
- Fight aging: Along with its many health benefits already listed above, vitamin C is also crucial in the production of collagen, a known wrinkle preventer. Ellagic acid (also mentioned above) has also been known to prevent inflammation and collagen destruction after skin has been damaged by UV-B rays.
- Protect your eyes: The antioxidants in strawberries may help prevent harmful cataracts, which can lead to blindness later in life. Our eyes need vitamin C to protect against free radicals from the sun’s harmful UV rays, otherwise the sun can damage our lens. Vitamin C also plays a vital role in strengthening the retina and cornea.
- Fight cholesterol: You already know ellagic acid and flavonoids/phytochemicals work as anti-inflammatories, but they can also help counteract the effect of LDL (bad cholesterol). Studies have concluded that by incorporating strawberries into your diet, you can reduce harmful blood lipids and oxidative damage—two markers for heart disease and diabetes.
- Regulate blood pressure: Strawberries are a great source of potassium, a heart-healthy nutrient that can help to regulate, and potentially lower, blood pressure by negating the effects of harmful sodium.
- Reduce inflammation: Antioxidants and phytochemicals/flavonoids in strawberries may aid in reducing joint inflammation and arthritis. In a study, those who ate at least 16 strawberries a week have lower levels of C-reactive protein(CRP), which is a key indicator that inflammation is present in the body. Inflammation is a precursor to cancer.
- Aid digestion- Strawberries are a good source of fiber, which is important for healthy digestion. Fiber can also help to fight type-2 diabetes due to its ability to slow the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. This is why strawberries are healthy snack choice for diabetics.
- Promote pre-natal health: Strawberries are a good source of folate, the beneficial B-Vitaminrecommended for women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Folate is important in the early stages of pregnancy as it aids in proper development of the baby’s spinal cord, brain, and skull. Folic acid, also found in strawberries, may help to prevent serious birth defects like spina bifida.
- They keep your middle little!: Strawberries are low-calorie, low-sugar, low-sodium, and fat-free! One and a half cups charts |

The thirty-second commercial displays two children rushing out for school as "Mum," a white-aproned New Yorker-sounding deli man, slathers mayo onto their sandwiches in the kitchen. The scene's "Dad" walks through to grab his lunch, kissing "Mum" on his way out, who calls him "sweet cheeks." The point here seems to be that the sandwich tastes so good, it's like you have your own New York deli man in the kitchen—not that sandwiches taste better after two men kiss. Average domestic "Mum" can be transformed into a top-notch sandwich maker from the world's deli capital with Heinz Mayo.
The funny part is that the UK product isn't even widely available in New York, let alone the United States at all. Watch the video after the jump.

After being forged, every portion of these wedges is milled by a computer to create the desired shape. Tungsten and titanium weights in the sole and high in the toe area shift the center of gravity to optimize spin and launch angle. The Sugar Daddy also has plenty of heel and toe relief to make hitting a wide variety of shots around the green easier. Available in two sole grinds.
This version of the Milled Grind 2 was created with input from Tiger Woods. Behind the leading edge, a thin area has 25 degrees of bounce, but it only lifts the leading edge 5.3 millimeters above the ground. The middle and trailing areas have less bounce, and there is loads of heel and toe relief to make getting under the ball from tight lies easier. The raw steel faces will slowly rust with exposure to air and moisture. Available in one sole grind.
For the most-played wedges on the PGA Tour, Titleist lengthened the hosel and added tungsten in the toe, which shifted the center of gravity forward for more stability. The center of gravity also rises or lowers based on each club’s loft to enhance trajectory control. Every groove is inspected for sharpness, and microgrooves between the main grooves increase surface roughness. Available in six sole grinds.
Forged from 8620 carbon steel, the Staff Model wedges are designed to visually appeal to accomplished golfers. Packing a few extra grooves into the hitting area should create more bite on slow-swinging chips and pitch shots. The leading edge has been designed with some pre-wear, and there is ample heel and toe relief to boost greenside versatility. Available in one sole grind.
This club has an extra-wide sole design to keep the club from digging, extra bounce behind the leading edge, a putter-like length of 34 inches and the loft of an old-school 9-iron, 41 degrees. Using a putting stroke, the Smart Sole C pops the ball up and gets it rolling on the green easily for golfers who lack consistency when they chip.
The Sure Out 2’s face is covered from the leading edge to the top of the toe with 17 grooves, but its sole is the key for better sand play. It’s massive, has a very high bounce angle and is designed with extra camber (curvature) to ensure it will work through both wet and fluffy sand without digging.

By Kyle Scott Clauss· 2/6/2017, 12:07 p.m.
Count one of the leaders of the alt-right among those celebrating the Patriots’ historic comeback win in Super Bowl LI.
While President Donald Trump gave up on the Patriots when they were down 28-3 in the third quarter, white nationalist and Nazi wannabe Richard Spencer was following along with rapt attention, and seemingly unaware that one of the white wide-receivers he so enjoys watching is quite proud of his Jewish heritage.
Spencer garnered mainstream attention when footage surfaced of him giving the Nazi salute, lapsing into German, and shouting, “Heil Trump!” at a conference in Washington, D.C. just weeks after the presidential election. Though he was born in Boston, the 38-year-old was raised in Dallas.
And speaking of white supremacists, former KKK member, Holocaust denier, and longtime Trump supporter David David was pretty jazzed about the Patriots win, too.
<|endoftext|>This is really awesome, I always enjoyed guiding players through the game. I love how newcomers can see an icon on top of a player and identify if they're a guide or not. It really clears things for the players that are looking for an advice or some kind of guidance from another player. Before, there was some kind of barrier between the new players and the older, experienced players, 'cause not everyone wants to guide people, some people want to mind their business, some want to help, this really makes everything a lot easier for both parties.
This is definitely one of the more exciting features in Shadowlands/pre-patch. Can't wait to try this feature out!
It isn't zero infractions. I had 2-3 infractions during vanilla and BC and I'm able to do it. Obviously they are old but I don't think it matters unless it's a serious breach.
Did they really have to make THAT the New Player icon? Pass.
But joking aside I'm really excited about this! It sucks when you're new and have a bunch of questions but no one to help you or at least tell you what website provides the most accurate info you need for in game stuff.
Newcomer chat will be just another way for d*ckheads to spam their boost advertisement. Same as the LFG tool.
Except that would be literally useless, because only starter accounts can join the channel as a newcomer, and advertising to them achieves nothing, and the only people who can join as guides have to be level 50 minimum, which most carry sellers aren't, since they use other accounts for when they inevitably get banned.
So god, do I hope you're wrong.
I'm glad new people won't need to suffer in Trade chat anymore.
Is this guide system accountwide like if I do apply with my main, do my twinks have automaticly this guide active?
Where is Mankrik's wife?111!ONE!
If you become a guide on one toon, do you become a guide on all toons?
Even if they have not met the requirements on others.
Pretty sure all this stuff is account wide, aside being level 50. That might be character specific.
I hope there will be severe punishments for ads on this chat channel or this will just become the "boost and guild recruit" channel very quickly.
Just trying this out and can't move the chat to a new window. Bug or feature?
I wonder when the newcomer icon will go away. When you reach level 60? Or maybe with a certain amount of playtime?
is it bad i had all of them done?

An ultrastructural study and review.
Glassy cell carcinoma is an unusual neoplasm of the uterine cervix that accounts for 1% to 2% of all cervical malignant neoplasms. Although it seems to have a distinct histologic appearance, it has generally not been recognized, as indicated by the extremely small number of cases reported in the literature. Previous studies have indicated an aggressive behavior, a poor response to irradiation and surgery, and a tendency to widespread metastases. It occurs in a younger age group (mean age, 41 years) than other cervical neoplasms and often has been associated with pregnancy. The histogenesis is not known, but electron microscopic examination of one case we studied, and review of one previously described case, demonstrate that it is an adenosquamous carcinoma. The need to define this neoplasm better will be satisfied only by additional, thorough histologic and clinical studies.<|endoftext|>It’s just like some old story. A struggling business during the monetary disaster has discovered a gold mine in outsourcing work to other nations. In the process, they were able to improve their functions without increasing the price of maintaining one. With the the increase in revenues that has been generated, the business then determined to consider on another technique. One that they believe will be more advantageous – captive middle outsourcing.
Now every company has some kind of dangers concerned and outsourcing is no various. Outsourcing would imply the transfer of important information of process and compromising on what requirements to be stored hush. Also, you might not have total manage of the company activity. Fortunately, there are methods to arrest these kinds of risks. As much as maintaining things under wraps is worried one could sign in an arrangement that would bind both events in maintaining information from leaking out. Making certain that your outsourcing partner is as transparent as glass to you when it arrives to the people and budget should cover the issue of getting manage.
The initial thing you require to look for is experience. The best IT companies are backed by employees with many years of encounter in the business. They’ve worked with all types of methods and can deal with IT methods for companies of all measurements.
Another reason is that your time may be much better spent focused on specific tasks while letting other professionals deal with tasks that are time consuming or perhaps past your checklist of abilities. Many business proprietors don’t think they can fit outsourcing into their spending budget. Most frequently, that simply isn’t the case. We’ve integrated a couple of steps to figure out if software development outsourcing is an option for you as well as actions to figure out what you may want to outsource initial and how you can discover the right individual for the job.
The biggest purpose to go through outsourcing tax returns stands in costs. The truth is that outsourcing companies this procedure is cheaper when in contrast with employing a nearby company to do this. Also, if we are confronted with tax season we may have a huge issue in finding a free business to do this.
A bpo provider will sit down with you to help you evaluate the requirements your business has. Utilizing that evaluation the provider will then recommend the very best destination nation for your outsourcing. More and more frequently that solution is Mexico. Mexico is the globe’s eleventh largest economy.

In this paper we provide a simple, straightforward example of a specific situation in which weak-value amplification (WVA) clearly outperforms conventional measurement in determining the angular orientation of an optical component. We also offer a perspective reconciling the views of some theorists, who claim WVA to be inherently sub-optimal for parameter estimation, with the perspective of the many experimentalists and theorists who have used the procedure to successfully access otherwise elusive phenomena.<|endoftext|>Experimental Investigation on Mixed Combustion Characteristics of Coal, Tobacco Straw, and Cinder in an Energy-Saving Bake Process
In view of high-energy consumption, high baking cost, and serious pollution emission during the baking process of tobacco leaves, thermogravimetric analysis is employed to investigate the combustion characteristics of coal, tobacco straw, and cinder. Analyzing thermogravimetric-derivative of thermogravimetric (TG-DTG) characteristics of samples with different blending ratios and based on the ignition temperature and burnout temperature, the combustion characteristics of the samples are obtained. Compared with the individual combustion of coal, the blending ratio of the optimal positive effect is obtained. It is illustrated that different blending ratios of coal, tobacco straw, and cinder result in different effects between promotion and inhibition. Tobacco straw is beneficial to burn on fire but adverse to keep combustion of fixed carbon. Compared with the TG and DTG characteristics in different blending ratios of coal, tobacco straw, and corresponding combustion characteristic parameter, it is illustrated that the best blending ratio of tobacco straw is 40%. According to the TG and DTG characteristics of different blending ratios of coal, cinder, and corresponding combustion characteristic parameter, it is shown that the more blending ratio of cinder, the more adverse effect to fixed carbon burning. The composite fuels with 40% tobacco straw, 10% coal cinder, and 50% coal have two obvious advantages.

The experiments presented here suggest that the naked post-FST DNA, attached to the bacteria after a centrifugation at 6,000 × g of Escherichia coli-T5 complexes arrested at the FST stage, can be injected into the host cell if protein synthesis is allowed. This results from the observation that the production of infectious centers by this naked DNA is sensitive to DNase or moderate shearing treatments. The process of injection seems to be the same as that for DNA normally rolled in an adsorbed capsid.<|endoftext|>Instantaneous reference-free crack detection based on polarization characteristics of piezoelectric materials

How much is Vulcano's Worth?
This comedian, Sal has over $400 thousand dollars of net worth and also one of the expensive and high paid comedy people, while he received over $30- $50 thousand dollars payments. And he also earned from his role as short movies and also full movies and also from stage performing.
However, one of the best comedians has also bought a well-luxurious house recently in New York City, and also bought a well-expensive car as well. Well, the wiki has also reported that he also earned from social media accounts and also from YouTube videos and others media.
Neither Married or Gay, Is Sal Hiding his Dating?
He and rest of the casts are hilarious onscreen; they still are private when it comes to their personal lives. So, there is not much information about his personal life, so what we don’t know to date is his love life, and it also seems he doesn’t want to share the details about his married, wife and girlfriend with his fans.
Well, in an interview with the OC Weekly, he disclosed about his private life and preferences, like how Sal hates continental breakfast, how he is not a germaphobe explained by so many people, and how he got the name "Ja' Crispy." But what he failed to reveal was the information on his love life and relationship.
This comedian came out as gay on national TV once. Sal's coming out motivated Murray, who has exposed as well. But later, he shared the reality telling he only did it to help Murray to get out.
This incredible funnyman has also famous as his best tattoos, which he makes on his right arm. Vulcano holds the American nationality and is of the Russian-American ethnicity. He also has a tall height of 5 feet 8 inches and also has heavy body shape with well-maintained as well. You also found him on social media networks as well.

<|endoftext|>Effect of thiabendazole on the migration of Toxocara canis larvae in the mouse.
The effects of thiabendazole on the survival and migration of Toxocara canis larvae in mice were studied. Although thiabendazole had a negligible larvicidal effect, it produced marked inhibition of the migration of the larvae in tissues. Larvae were arrested in the liver after oral inoculation and in the lungs after intravenous inoculation. Observations indicated that the drug may have a reversible, as well as a progressive, time-related metabolic effect on the larvae. Significant inhibition of migration required administration of the drug in medicated feed at a concentration of 0.25% or more. Periodic oral administration of a thiabendazole suspension was ineffective in inhibiting larval migration. It was concluded that the immobilizing effect of the drug on the larvae of T. canis may account for the clinical improvement observed after treatment with thiabendazole in cases of visceral larva migrans, the prevention of prenatal or mammary transmission of infection in dogs, and the suppression of tissue damage by nematode larvae in general.<|endoftext|>Digital holography three-dimensional imaging using frequency chirping of a laser
Three-dimensional (3D) remote imaging may improve target characterization and help improve tracking and aim-point maintenance. Digital holography (DH) has been shown to be very effective in generating 3D images of objects using frequency diversity. The digital holographic nature of the process can eliminate the need for imaging lenses when the pupil-plane is used for the detection plane. In fact, this approach is the optical analog of the widely used frequencymodulation (FM) radar imaging. The current implementation of the holographic FM 3D imaging involves forming a set of holographic 2D images each at a different temporal frequency and then inverse Fourier transform to recover the actual 3D image. In this paper we present results from both laboratory and simulations of a coherent 3D holographic imaging method based on continuous frequency chirping of a laser. Laboratory 3D imaging results were obtained in both the pupilplane using a spatial heterodyne method, and in the image-plane using a temporal heterodyne method.<|endoftext|>Sotheby’s held its first Hip Hop auction on Tuesday (September 15) and fielded numerous offers for 120 pieces of memorabilia.
From original Beastie Boys’ Licensed To Ill Tour posters and vintage Hip Hop flyers designed by Buddy Esquire and Van Silk to Salt-N-Pepa “Push It” jackets and Slick Rick’s multicolored diamond eye patch, the auction was a Hip Hop heaven for any collector.
Most notably, the crown The Notorious B.I.G. wore for his iconic “King of New York” photoshoot for Rap Pages in 1997 sold for over $500,000.
The auction, which was available to watch on the Sotheby’s website, also netted over $126,000 for the Rammellzee vs. K-Rob “Beat Bop” 12” vinyl with Jean-Michel Basquiat artwork. As far as Tupac Shakur’s love letters, those sold for $75,600.
Other 2Pac items included an autographed letter and Chi Modu portraits of the late Hip Hop legend, which sold for over $17,000 and up to $6,000, respectively.
Additional notable items are one of Dr. Dre’s World Class Wreckin’ Cru outfits ($32,760), J.J. Fad’s custom jackets (up to $6,930), a total run of The Source magazine ($32,760) and Drake’s unreleased Air Jordan IV Retro Prototypes ($32,760).

The present study examined the influence of coloring the repeated number in a serial addition task that elicits perseveration in normal subjects. 110 undergraduates were administered the original, black-and-white version of the task, 112 other undergraduates the new, colored version. The task required adding the following numbers: 1000 + 40 + 1000 + 30 + 1000 + 20 + 1000 + 10. We predicted that, in the colored version, the enhanced saliency of the repeated number 1000 would reduce the incidence of perseverative errors. Results with the black-and-white version replicated our 1994 findings, i.e., the majority of subjects produced the perseverative response 5000 rather than the correct answer of 4100. Contrary to our expectation, color did not improve performance but rather increased both perseverative and nonperseverative errors. We speculate that the enhanced saliency of the 4 repeated 4-digit terms may have further distracted subjects from discovering the critical lure, namely, the repetitive digit changes in the partial sums at irrelevant positions, i.e., in the thousands and tens but never in the hundreds.<|endoftext|>DECREASED BLAST CELL TRANSFORMATION AND BLASTOGENIC FACTOR PRODUCTION IN CORD BLOOD LYMPHOCYTES
Increased susceptibility of newborn to infection with agents controlled by cell-mediated immunity (CMI) is well documented. To evaluate the CMI function of newborn we studied the peripheral T cell numbers by E-rosette technique, as well as the phytohemagglutinin (PHA) lymphocyte transformation and the production of blastogenic factor in the cord blood from 11 healthy newborn infants and in venous peripheral blood from 6 healthy adults. It was found that 1. T cell numbers in newborn were comparable to the ones found in the adult controls (mean 50% in newborns and 52% in adults); 2. the PHA lymphocyte transformation as measured by tritiated thymidine incorporation was markedly lower than in adults (mean PHA index 16 In the cord blood and 70 in adults), although spontaneous transformation was much higher in newborn compared to adult lymphocytes; and 3. the supernatant derived from PHA stimulated cord lymphocytes (after removal of PHA) failed to stimulate neonatal lymphocytes as measured by tritiated thymidine incorporation (mean blastogenic index 1.6, range 1-2) in contrast to the supernatant of PHA stimulated adult lymphocytes which significantly stimulated the neonatal lymphocytes (mean blastogenic index 5.1, range 3.5-7). These data suggest that newborn lymphocytes, while possessing the surface properties of T cells, are functionally immature.<|endoftext|>Prediction of glomerular filtration rate in renal transplant recipients: cystatin C or Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation?
Abstract: Background: To overcome disadvantages of serum creatinine two strategies have been suggested to identify patients with reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR). On the one hand, the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation is now recommended to classify the stage of chronic kidney disease. On the other hand, cystatin C (Cys C) has been investigated in numerous studies, finding a higher sensitivity than creatinine in detecting diminished GFR. To date, no comparison of both strategies in patients after renal transplantation has been performed.<|endoftext|>Power Control Based Broadcast Packet Retransmission Collision Reduction Method in a Wireless Self-Organization Network

Only the two ATLL patients were serologically positive for the human T cell leukemia virus I (HTLV-I), and their cells showed a higher anti-Tac reactivity. Chromosome 7 abnormalities were observed in seven cases (two ATLL, three SS, two T-PLL), and a strong correlation was seen between the presence of a 7q abnormality and the expression of the Tac antigen (T cell growth factor receptor). These findings are discussed in relation to the localization of T cell receptor genes on chromosome 7 and possible mechanisms for the activation of the Tac gene.<|endoftext|>Analyzing meaning: An introduction to semantics and pragmatics by Paul R. Kroeger (review)
Paul Kroeger’s Analyzing meaning: An introduction to semantics and pragmatics is a highly accessible textbook on preliminary concepts within a theory of natural language meaning. It covers a very large range of topics. In fact, teachers intending to use the book as a basis for an undergraduate course might be unlikely to cover the book’s entire content in a single semester. In any case, the book, which is over 450 pages in length, provides an ample amount of material that a teacher could selectively draw on in leading a class on the topic. The general approach of the book is to provide an expansive look into semantics and pragmatics, covering the logical underpinnings of semantics, to the central questions of meaning “dimensions” (that is, comparing entailments, implicatures, and presuppositions), to Gricean reasoning, to speech act theory. Unlike many texts on the market, the book combines these topics with investigations into lexical semantics, including meaning relations between lexical items (for example, hyponymy, meronymy) and featural analyses of word meaning. This presents an advantage to the instructor who wishes to cover formal semantics, lexical semantics, and pragmatics all in one class. The book provides somewhat of a “onestop shop.” Later portions of the book delve into more advanced topics, such as intensionality, the quantificational analyses of modal expressions, and the semantics of conditionals. Besides its comprehensiveness, a key advantage of the book is the richness of its examples. Throughout the book, Kroeger uses, at various times, witty and memorable examples from literature, newspaper headlines, poetry, and so on, to illustrate the key concepts under discussion. This strategy, I believe, improves understanding, as the student is able to link the concept to its usage in the real world, aiding the student’s ability to spot semantic/pragmatic phenomena “in the wild.” For example, Kroeger opens the book with a passage from Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass in which Alice and Humpty Dumpty debate whether words can mean whatever the speaker chooses them to mean. Using the absurdity of Humpty Dumpty’s position as a starting point, Kroeger motivates the idea that natural language meaning can be productively studied as a rulebased system that a language learner must acquire, just like syntax or phonology. Memorable examples like this one are found throughout the book. A discussion of expressives is supported by a digression into Bible translation and the challenge of translating an Aramaic term of contempt, alongside a political anecdote about cross-cultural misunderstandings between Malaysian and Australian politicians in the 1990s. A discussion of lexical ambiguity is enriched by a passage from Edith Wharton’s short story Xingu, in which a character’s description of a Brazilian river is misunderstood as an appraisal of a philosophical book (“it’s deep in places ... one must wade through”).

V. cholerae serotypes are divided into two main groups: the O1 and O139 group and the non-O1/non-O139 group. O1 and O139 V. cholerae are related to cholera infection, whereas non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae (NOVC) can cause cholera-like diarrhea. A PubMed search revealed that only 16 cases of necrotizing fasciitis caused by NOVC have been recorded in the scientific literature to date. We report the case of a Japanese woman who developed necrotizing fasciitis caused by NOVC after traveling to Taiwan and returning to Japan.
A 63-year-old woman visited our hospital because she had experienced left knee pain for the past 3 days. She had a history of colon cancer (Stage IV: T3N3 M1a) and had received chemotherapy. She had visited Taiwan 5 days previously, where she had received a massage. She was diagnosed with septic shock owing to necrotizing fasciitis. She underwent fasciotomy and received intensive care. She recovered from the septic shock; however, after 3 weeks, she required an above-knee amputation for necrosis and infection. Her condition improved, and she was discharged after 22 weeks in the hospital.
With the increase in tourism, it is important for clinicians to check patients’ travel history. Clinicians should be alert to the possibility of necrotizing fasciitis in patients with risk factors. Necrotizing fasciitis caused by NOVC is severe and requires early fasciotomy and debridement followed by intensive postoperative care.
Vibrio cholerae are curved gram-negative rod (GNR) bacteria that are oxidase positive. They are classified into various serotypes based on the O surface antigen. V. cholerae serotypes are divided into two main groups: the O1 and O139 group and the non-O1/non-O139 group [1]. O1 and O139 V. cholerae are related to cholera infection, whereas non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae (NOVC) can cause cholera-like diarrhea. NOVC are found as autochthonous microbes in coastal and marine environments [2]. Outbreaks of cholera-like illness caused by NOVC have been reported in the United States (O141 and O75), former Czechoslovakia (O37), Sudan (O37), Peru (O10, O12), and Mexico (O14) [3,4,5]. Moreover, NOVC can cause a range of extraintestinal infections, including bacteremia, meningitis, pneumonia, peritonitis, cholangitis, salpingitis, and soft-tissue infection [6]. Seafood, including oysters, fishes, shrimps, clams, mussels, and apple snail, is the most common source of infection (53.9%) [7]. A PubMed search revealed that only 16 cases of necrotizing fasciitis caused by NOVC have been reported in the scientific literature to date. We report the case of a patient who developed necrotizing fasciitis and septic shock caused by NOVC, which necessitated an above-knee amputation of her left leg.
A 63-year-old woman visited Minaminara General Hospital in Nara, Japan, because she had experienced left knee pain for 3 days prior to her visit. She had been diagnosed with colon cancer (Stage IV: T3N3 M1a) 2 years and 5 months previously and had undergone surgery and received chemotherapy. Her most recent dose of chemotherapy was administered 20 days before her initial consultation. She had visited Taiwan 5 days previously, where she had received a massage. After the massage, she developed gradually worsening pain in her lower left leg. On presentation, she was able to walk unaided, and she reported her history of colon cancer and recent travel. As we suspected that the pain in her leg could be due to necrotizing fasciitis, we requested magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of her left lower leg. The images showed a swollen soleus muscle and posterior tibial muscle, and the T2-weighted image showed hyperintensity of the muscle tissue (Fig. 1). After the MRI, our patient’s condition deteriorated and the following vital signs were observed: blood pressure (BP), 89/50 mmHg; heart rate, 101 beats/min; respiratory rate, 18 breaths/min; and temperature, 36.3 °C. The results of arterial blood gas analysis were as follows: pH, 7.4; PaCO2, 26.7 mmHg; HCO3−, 18.8 mmHg; base excess (BE), − 6.9 mEq/L; and lactate, 3.20 mmol/L. The patient’s laboratory test results were as follows: C-reactive protein (CRP), 42.83 mg/dL; blood urea nitrogen (BUN), 73.3 mg/dL; creatinine, 1.78 mg/dL; procalcitonin, 16.06 ng/mL; N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP), 29,506 pg/mL; and fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products (FDP), 16.7 μg/mL.
Intravenous infusion of meropenem and noradrenaline was initiated, and the patient underwent emergency surgery. Before the surgery, the compartment pressure of her left leg was measured by simple needle manometry. The pressures were as follows: 63 mmHg, 26 mmHg, 32 mmHg, and 32 mmHg in the anterior, lateral, superficial posterior, and deep posterior compartments, respectively. Some muscle tissues in the anterior and deep posterior compartments were necrotic. For double incision fasciotomy, a relaxation incision was made on her left knee [8], and the affected area was irrigated and debrided (Fig. 2). After the |

Meanwhile passengers from red list hotspots are travelling to the UK via amber countries to avoid paying for costly hotel quarantine.
Travellers are being crammed into queues with no social distancing from other passengers upon arrival, with many branding the situation ‘crazy’ and ‘mad’.
Holidaymakers leaving Heathrow admitted they are flying to amber list destinations in defiance of Boris Johnson’s muddled Cabinet.
And before arriving back home, some arrivals are flying from red destinations to amber ones, staying there for ten days, then travelling back to the UK.
As it stands, arrivals from red list destinations have to stay in an approved, locked-down hotel for ten days at a cost of £1,750.
Those from amber destinations can isolate at home.
Diego Sacomane, 36, flew London’s Heathrow Airport from Brazil via Egypt where he spent 12 days to avoid paying for a hotel quarantine in the UK.
He told MailOnline yesterday: ‘We went from Brazil to Egypt where we spent 12 days – 14 nights and then came here.
‘I work as a chef and my wife’s a cleaner here in London. ‘The queue was crazy getting in, and there was only one guy at passport control. I didn’t see them separating anyone from red or amber list countries.’
Shahar Cohen, 40, a web developer who lives in Bethnal Green in East London, said: ‘I came from Tel Aviv where it’s a war zone – I was hiding from rockets just the other day. The siren goes off and you have 90 seconds to find shelter.
‘It was super easy getting into the UK, there was a nice gentleman who was very efficient and quick, even though there was quite a long queue.
‘There is a possibility that people who were elsewhere travelled on the same flight as me. Some people were not wearing masks in the passport queue and other passengers asked them to put it on.
‘There were only two queues at passport control, one for UK and EU citizens and then one for others.
‘But I didn’t see any specific queues for amber or red list countries, but maybe there were none on my plane.’
Alusine Jalloh, 40, flew in to Heathrow Terminal 2 yesterday from Sierra Leone, which is on the amber list, via Paris. He told MailOnline: ‘It was crazy.
‘A lot of people were stressing because they didn’t have the passenger locator form when we arrived in Paris.
‘Some of them didn’t even have £170 to spend, so they had to go back [to Sierra Leone] – it was chaos.
‘There were long queues and everyone was scrambling to fill out their forms and pay the money.
‘From what I could see passengers from amber list countries and red list countries are being treated the same.
Positive test figures from the Wellcome Sanger Institute
‘I transferred in Paris so I could definitely have been on the plane with people from green list countries.’
Other passengers say there were separate lines for red, orange and amber countries, but passengers could join any queue they chose.
Officials only reviewed their paperwork – thereby seeing what country they arrived from – once they reached passport control.
A Heathrow spokesman said: ‘There are numerous measures to keep passengers and colleagues safe, including requirements for negative tests pre-departure for all international arrivals, enhanced cleaning regimes and ventilation in the immigration halls, dedicated COVID marshals to enforce social distancing and mandatory use of face coverings throughout the airport.
‘As a result, the risk of transmission at the airport is low. The process the Government has designed for red list passengers, triages passengers at Heathrow between aircraft gate and the immigration hall.
‘Those from the red list are directed into a dedicated channel and separated from other passengers.
‘After crossing the border, Government contractors then escort red list passengers to a segregated area of our baggage hall to collect their luggage before taking them to dedicated hotel quarantine transportation.’
The Home Office has been approached for comment.

At ASC Treatment (ASC), we understand the devastating effects caused by ALS, and are dedicated in providing ALS patients a better quality of life. ASC has had years of experience employing innovative techniques in treatment of ALS. The focus on regenerative medicine in treating the disease sets ASC apart from conventional medical practices. At ASC, a professional medical team trained in the knowledge and understanding of ALS and stem cell treatments will provide care to those who enlist our services. Those under the care of our certified medical doctors will receive the best standard of care as is the core value of ASC.
ASC prides itself in prioritising the Safety and Efficacy of all product lines used in our treatments. The stem cells we employ in regenerative medicine treatments are no exception. Your own mononuclear derived stem cell (MDSC) will be used in our stem cell treatments as they have demonstrated, through their excellent safety track record, exceptional safety profiles and remarkable efficacy. All manufactured stem cell products are also quality assured with multiple safety standards in place:
- Therapeutic Goods Administration Compliant – All manufacturing and use of the MDSC product is compliant with regulations by the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia where the products are primarily produced.
- Lloyds insurance – All instances of your MDSC’s production and administration is insured for product quality, possible adverse effect and malpractice of medical team.
- External laboratory sterility testing – Each and every MDSC products must be screened by a third-party testing laboratory, and the product will only be released for administration after the sterility test has been cleared.
Efficacy
- High cell count – Every production generates between 200 ~ 500 million stem cell which is 5x to 10x greater than any competitor products, meaning more repairs and regeneration.
- Autologous Your MDSC products are cultured from your own blood. This provides assurance that the cells are 100% compatible with the patient’s body and are therefore able to recognise all the inflammation signals produced by the body to carry out the necessary repair and regeneration. This will also eliminate the risk of possible rejection.
- Multi-lineage differentiation capability – MDSC are superior to existing stem cells being used as they can differentiate into more than one type of cell. MDSC have demonstrated the ability to differentiate into endothelial and neurological cells. This indicates that they are effective in dealing with ALS which is the result of progressive neuronal loss.
Our treatment strategy
Recent research efforts have been poured into regenerative medicine, and the use of stem cells to slow the progression and in hope of reversing ALS. University of South Florida (USF Health) has identify the key development of ALS patient is deterioration of the blood-spinal cord barrier and degeneration of motor neurons. Based on the above research and our product characteristic, we are able to formulate a treatment strategy to slow the progression of ALS.
ALS
MDSC
Damages to the blood-spinal cord barrier
- MDSC also shown high differentiation capability towards endothelial cells which is the primary cells which makes up the blood-spinal cord barrier.
- MDSC CD markers for endothelial cell CD31 (93.69%), CD54(54.2%), CD144(7.83%)
Degeneration of motor neurons
- Ability to repair and differentiate into neurological cells
- Your MDSC contains high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs) which are potent survival factors for neurons :
- BDNF: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor
- NT-3: Neurotophin-3
- CNTF: Ciliary neurotrophic factor
- GDNF: Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor
- EGF: Endothelial growth factor
Treatment Plan
Our treatment procedure is streamlined and has flexibility to accommodate any patient requirements.

Did you know that the United States once had an emperor? An emperor who issued edicts and walked around in a blue military uniform complete with gold epaulettes. A purple sash along with a plumed beaver hat completed his uniform while he carried a saber. On September 17th, 1859, one Joshua Abraham Norton proclaimed himself Emperor of the United States. He resided in San Francisco, and with this proclamation began the reign of the first and only Emperor of the United States.
Emperor Norton was born in England on February 4th, 1818. Regretfully his tombstone has 1819 as the year of his birth, but multiple facts point to the 1818 date. For example, when Norton was two, a ship brought him to South Africa from England in February 1820 and listed him as two. Additionally the newspaper, the Daily Alta California, wished him a 47th birthday on February 4th, 1865.
In November 1849, Joshua Norton probably arrived in San Francisco. He steadily increased his fortune by buying and selling real estate, mining claims, and ships, and by 1852 was one of the more well oft citizens of the city. But in 1855 his fortunes turned, when he tried to corner the rice market. He made bad investments on Peruvian rice, buying the rice at twelve cents |

<|endoftext|>What have I been saying all along about the fact that the earliest farmers of Anatolia (here, even the preceeding hunter-gatherers who were virtually the same people) would probably show "Levantine" or even Saudi in these calculators and so one needn't go looking for all or even mostly relatively "modern" admixture????
That was obvious way back when Otzi and Gok were analyzed, who were very similar to Sardinians. Both the North African and the SW Asian are higher than in modern North Italians and Tuscans.
How are they closest to Sardinians but on the K36 similarity map Sardinia has just 37 while Lazio/Latium has 63. Pardon my ignorance.
How intriguing that in the K36 Similarity Map he is quite closer to Corsican and Central Italian samples than to the Sardinian samples, which are the closest fit according to Eurogenes K15. What could explain that? Does this Anatolian HG have more European HG (WHG) than the average ANF that eventually colonized Europe? What about the 9.6% Yemenite Jewish deemed necessary as a complement to Sardinian, which suggests, I think, some higher affiniy with Levant_Neo (and also possibly Iranian_Neo) influences?
Tuscan is only one point lower, at 62, and the highest of all is Corsica with 64, Corsica with its Tuscan like dialect and its history of Tuscan like inheritance. Plus, the very southern part of Toscana is quite like Northern Lazio.
Sardinia is so drifted I don't know why it would be used at all; it's bound to throw things off.
As for why there are differences between the different Eurogenes products, the one to be asked is him. I'm no big fan of any of them.
Plus, calculators based on modern populations are always going to give results that are very hard to interpret, which I've been saying for years, for all anyone seems to listen. That's why I pointed out that "Levantine" percentages are not always going to be very precise.
For what it's worth, however, it's long been known that the most EEF is usually found in Central and Northern Italy; certainly not in the Near East.
I have heard that in 2 million modern samples there are 20 modern Europeans with the C dnaY. Of the 20, four would be from Spain.
As you know, ANF were mostly AHG, with minor Iran and Levant Neo ancestries. Then, in Europe, ANF picked up some more WHG and became something else (closely related to Sardinians).
I guess the explanation is more simple than that. Firstly, they are different calculators; and K36 vs Similarity Map has a little problem, apparently. This possible problem is that the reference for West Med would be virtually Sardinian itself(?), a drifted pop, as Angela pointed out. If so, it would be the same reference for the cluster "and" for the population (in the map): West Med = Sardinian. I won't say it's not very clever because the calculator and the similarity map are different things. The last was built based on the former.
Indeed, if you access http://gen3553.pagesperso-orange.fr/ADN/similitude.htm and put 100% at K36 West Med cluster, you'll see that Sardinians get 85. ;) So almost the same. The result is that most of non-Sardinians will show up in this K36 map as very distantly related to Sardinians, because Sardinians get too much West Med (Sardinians). And we know Sardinian is not the only pop in Europe and Asia with a chunck of ANF, so it's expected that some segments of this AHG individual fits in various K36 clusters.
This problem apparently doesn't happen in K15. Perhaps its reference for West Med is different, wider, after all, it has not 35 other competing clusters. Its references could include even the Basques too, whereas in K36 there is an exclusive Basque cluster. Curiously, it seems the overlap between Basque cluster and actual Basques (in the map) doesn't equal West Med vs Sardinians, possibly also because Basques are not so drifted. Anyway, it's enough to make many non-Basques distantly related to Basques in the map.

Excellent explanation, now it looks much clearer to me. Thank you very much! This matter reminded me why we should never take the results of any calculator or analysis too literally and in isolation from several others. Since the reality of the genetic history of populations is much more complex and interconnected, with lots of overlaps and the confusing effect of drift, one is bound to make incorrect conclusions if one reads these calculators as received truth, and not clues that must be taken together with other clues and then made some sense without ever forgetting things like history, geography and even basic common sense.<|endoftext|>She is an actress and director, known for Thevar Magan (1992), Kizhakku Vasal (1990) and Devasuram (1993).

With the increasing popularity of smartwatches over the last years, there has been a substantial interest in novel input methods for such small devices. However, feedback modalities for smartwatches have not seen the same level of interest. This is surprising, as one of the primary function of smartwatches is their use for notifications. It is the interrupting nature of current notifications on smartwatches that has also drawn some of the more critical responses to them. Here, we present a subtle notification mechanism for smartwatches that uses light scattering in a wearer's skin as a feedback modality. This does not disrupt the wearer in the same way as vibration feedback and also connects more naturally with the user's body.<|endoftext|>Combination therapy with U74006F (tirilazad mesylate), MK-801, insulin and diazepam in transient forebrain ischaemia.
The mechanism of cerebral ischaemic injury is complex and likely involves more than a single pathophysiologic event. Drugs are available which interfere with numerous harmful biochemical and pharmacologic processes begun by ischaemia. Hence, combination chemotherapy might be useful in cerebral ischaemia. The purpose of the present study was to examine the degree of histologic protection against necrosis using a combination of agents which respectively block free radical production (U74006F, tirilazad mesylate), block NMDA receptors (MK-801, dizocilpine maleate), ameliorate hyperglycaemic damage (insulin) and reduce post-ischaemic epileptic damage (diazepam). Each treatment regimen used has been previously individually examined. Fasted rats were divided into four groups receiving either no treatment, the lipid peroxidation inhibitor U74006F, U74006F plus MK-801, or U74006F plus MK-801 plus insulin and diazepam. One week following ten minutes of transient forebrain ischaemia, quantitative neuropathology was done in all brain regions demonstrating necrosis. The neocortex showed a trend toward a progressively increasing benefit with the addition of U74006F, MK-801, insulin and diazepam, but no clear trends were apparent in hippocampus, striatum, or other brain regions. The findings demonstrate that the cerebral cortex, a tissue of major importance damaged in cerebral ischaemia, can be salvaged in fasted animals with the presently used combination chemotherapeutic regimen, but also illustrate the need to search for combination chemotherapeutic regimens which may be more effective in other brain regions for the metabolic protection of brain tissue against cerebral ischaemia.<|endoftext|>®torque-sensing limited slip differential. The front to rear power ratio is adjusted as needed, based on wheel slip. That power – 301 horsepower at 5,500 rpm, is provided by a 4.6-liter V8, delivered through a six-speed, electronically controlled transmission.
The standard Kinetic Dynamic System adjusts the front and rear stabilizer bars to help reduce maximum body-lean angle by as much as 50%, enhancing both on-road handling response and off-highway capability. Trailer sway control has been added for 2014.
For moderate off-road driving you can leave it in high four, just like you’d use on the highway. If the GX 460 experiences extreme articulation with a wheel up in the air, the advanced traction control system intervenes, pulsing the brakes to any individual wheels that are spinning and applying torque to the wheels that have the most traction.
In especially low traction situations, stop on level ground, keep your foot on the brake, shift the shift lever into neutral and engage low range. Doing so will select a lower reduction gear ratio in the transfer case and lock out the center differential. The vehicle will move much more slowly and be much more responsive to applications and lifting of the throttle, for improved ascent and descent speed control. For even more control of the six-speed transmission, shift from Drive into Sequential mode. That will allow you to select individual gears. In first gear it will crawl very slowly.
Ideally when you are off-roading or descending a steep hill, it is preferable to control your speed with gearing, not the brakes. Excessive use of the brakes on a long, steep hill may overheat them.
When lower gearing is not enough, low speed crawl control is available for low speed ascent and descent, integrating what were previously separate systems into one common system, for ease of use. Engaged by a simple press of a button, it allows the vehicle to slowly crawl up or down a hill, with the transmission in Drive or manually shifted. It also operates in reverse.You can preset any one of five crawl speeds, ranging from a high of about 5-mph down to 1-mph.
Once you engage that system, the GX 460 will control each individual wheel’s speed by applying the throttle and the brakes, as needed. Just keep your feet off of the pedals and steer. The noises you’ll hear will be the solenoids activating the master ABS actuator ten to 20 times per second, to apply braking pressure to each individual wheel cylinder separately. This controls the wheels that have the most traction.
If you wish to speed up or slow down, apply the throttle or the brakes. That will temporarily over-ride the low speed crawl control system. As soon as you lift your foot, the system will take over again.
This system is especially helpful for less skilled off-road drivers when they’ve had to stop on a hill for something and then need to resume moving. To demonstrate the effectiveness of low speed crawl control, try stepping out of the vehicle on a steep, perhaps gravel-covered hill and see how difficult it is to walk without slipping.
The GX 460 has a mid-length wheelbase and a short turning radius, to handle tight turns. A warning beep, part of the parking assist system, may occasionally remind you that an object is close to your bumper.
A graphic display in the middle of the instrument panel, directly above the steering wheel, helpfully shows you which way your front wheels are pointed. To see what you are about to drive over or through, or if you are about to crest a blind, steep hill and need to know if the road turns, there are two front-facing cameras: one with a wide angle lens mounted low in the grille and another on the outer, passenger-side mirror, to show what is near the far side of the vehicle.
For 2014 Lexus has lowered the starting price of the GX 460 to $49,085. That is $4,710 less than for 2013. Available upgrades include navigation, mahogany wood trim, three-zone climate control, heated rear seats, adaptable air suspension, intuitive park assist and blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert.
Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are becoming more and more common (to keep things simple here, let’s just call them all EVs).
<|endoftext|>A dynamic model and a robust controller for a fully-actuated marine surface vessel
A nonlinear six degree-of-freedom dynamic model is presented for a marine surface vessel. The formulation closely follows the current literature on ship modeling. It considers the effects of inertial forces, wave excitations, retardation forces, nonlinear restoring forces, wind and current loads along with linear viscous damping terms. The capability of the model is shown through its prediction of the ship response during a turning-circle maneuver. The ship model is used herein as a test bed to assess the performance of the proposed controller. The present study assumes that the ship is fully actuated and all state variables of the system are available through measurements. A nonlinear robust controller, based on the sliding mode methodology, has been designed based on a reduced-order version of the ship model. The latter accounts only for the surge, sway and yaw motions of the ship. The initial simulation results, generated based on the reduced-order model of the marine vessel, demonstrate robust performance and good tracking characteristics of the controller in the presence of structured uncertainties and external disturbances. Furthermore, they illustrate the adverse effects of the physical limitations of the propulsion system on the controlled response of the ship. Next, the same controller is implemented on the six degree-of-freedom model of the ship. The simulation results reveal tracking characteristics of the controller that are similar to those observed in the initial results, in spite of significantly larger modeling uncertainties.<|endoftext|>International Law After Ukraine: Introduction to the Symposium
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has brought on unspeakable suffering. It has already injured and killed scores of people. It has displaced millions who now face an uncertain future. It raises the specter of all-out cyber war that threatens to draw other countries into the conflict. It is raging not only on the ground in Ukraine, but also on internet platforms where disinformation has spread. It tests the resilience of international partnerships and alliances. Beyond these immediate implications, the Russian attack on Ukraine also violates the prohibition on aggressive use of force, a foundational principle of the post-World War II international order. Facing these alarming prospects, many are pessimistic about what the war in Ukraine may portend for the future of international law and international relations. Surprisingly, however, some of the bleakest predictions have not yet been realized. Quite the contrary. We argue that there is a lot to be optimistic about when it comes to the role of international law, partnerships and norms in this conflict.<|endoftext|>Deep learning based sentiment analysis during public health emergency
The traditional method of text sentiment analysis mainly uses sentiment dictionary or |
% declarative, and one even more important thing, it is encapsulated. It is encapsulated here, not in my production code, but in some other library. And now, what can we do with the encapsulated code? We can change it without affecting the caller. That is what object oriented programming is all about.
So, look at this. Suppose that somebody has said ... I'll return to this. Somebody said, "Listen, this is working for the sequences, it's even working twice, I don't want this to work on every call in production, this is flow." Alright. And I'm pretty sure that this will never happen, that this precondition is false, we have really tested the code to the end. Alright. We want universal and existential quantifiers to be switched off in production.
Do you know how you switch off this code in production? One way is to add conditional compilation, that is a feature of .NET. You can specify that this piece of code is going to be included in the assembly, but then when just in time compilation is performed, calls to this function will be removed if this symbol, debug, is not defined.
So let me show you what happens if I end testing and decide to go to production. So this is debug configuration, now I turn to release, and this goes great. Compiler removes both calls at just in time compilation. So you can keep quantifiers alive in debug and turn them off in production, making code safe during testing and making it fast during execution. That is one thing you can do when you treat a contract as a separate concern.
Or, even more, you could, this is the, requires you change the method, you could do something like this. This is the old fashioned conditional compilation. You can say that in debug mode, I want to assert, I want to kill the process. Why not keep throwing plain exception? Because, exceptions can be caught. Sometimes people inadvertently catch exceptions and do nothing with them. They catch exceptions because they fear that those exceptions would propagate up and make damage. Alright, that fear is not well placed, you should not catch an exception unless you know perfectly well what to do with it, but people still used to not handle exceptions, but just cover them up. And if you throw a precondition violation exception like this, then even in the testing code, it might happen that somebody has hidden the fact that exception has been thrown. And then, you have a bug, and your code has raised a flag saying, "This is a bug, you have a bug, fix it," but somebody has hidden that flag from you. And then you deliver buggy software to production.
So in order to avoid that, you may choose to assert in debug mode. Assertion, if predicate is false, assertion will kill the process. There's no way for you to hide that, to catch assertion, it will propagate to the operating system. And it is very often a good idea to assert on precondition violations during debugging, because then everybody on the team will know that there is a bug, and they will have to address it. And again, if you go to build configuration, when you finish testing and go to release, then you switch off assertion, and even without that, I was using this assertion from debug name space, so this wouldn‘t affect the release build anyway, so you get back to throwing an exception, because, well, it's not nice to assert in production, you don't like big red screen, windows and message boxes on the screen, alright.
So then you throw, even if that means that some exceptions would be silently ignored, just for the sake of end users, keep throwing the exception rather asserting. And another thing, the last thing in this demonstration, there's even more interesting idea. What exception should we throw? Not plain exception, plain exception really says nothing. Maybe we could throw some exception like contract exception, you see, and it says precondition violation, this precondition, alright, but what is the contract exception?
I could, I could define contract exception as a private class inside my contract class, for example. So that nobody can see it, only I can see it. So when it comes to doing something, for example, I know this add grade might fall, I could wrap it in a try catch, but catch what? Contract exception? No. There's no such thing, it is a private class, I cannot write a synthetically correct catch block which includes contract exception. I cannot handle contract exception, the only way to handle it is to handle the base exception, which is a bad practice, and I suppose nobody of you is doing that, you should only catch general exception on the very last level in your component, just to stop exceptions from propagating outside of your component, so you would generally capture general exception and say, if you are writing a service, you would return either 500 in internet, or whatever code, or temporarily unavailable, or I don't know, not found, things like that.
If you are writing a desktop application, you would return some object which indicates to the user interface that it should pop up a message box and excuse to the user, so that is the place where you catch general exceptions. The very limits of your system, not inside. On the inside, I would suggest you to throw private exception class so that nobody can really catch it. And again, the reason is because any precondition violation equals to a bug, and you cannot recover from a bug. You cannot fix an argument and try again. If you knew what's wrong with the argument, you wouldn't cause the exception, so that is the simplest way to look at precondition violations.
Alright, this was the demonstration, I hope that you liked it. Now you can ask questions, I have left a bit more time for your questions, because I expect to have at least a couple of them, and I would like actually to hear you, and to try to respond to your questions now.
Q: Would the debug assert be removed from release build even without the debug compile directive?
A: It is not an easy decision to remove parts of the logic that is checking the conditions. If you are absolutely certain that you have checked everything in testing, you can remove all precondition checks from your application and make it absolutely fast, as fast as possible. If you are not sure, then you leave preconditions in production, but that is one of the concepts. Also, there is that gray area in between. You might add a lot of heavy checks that are good for debugging, like just imagine a sorting algorithm, an algorithm which sorts the array. Can you imagine how many checks you could perform during the execution of that algorithm? Including the final check that the array is really sorted at the end.
All that would make the sorting algorithm tremendously slow. And then you just remove all of that with a compiler directive from production code. You don't have to check the debug symbol. You could introduce your own symbols, like heavy precondition, or things like that, and switch that off not only in release build, but in the build which is going to be on staging or in production. Then, for example in .NET core, you can use environment and check what environment it is, and then to have heavy checks in development, less checks in staging, no checks or almost no checks in production, so that is the point.
It is very important to understand the concept of preconditions as a separate concern which is not turned into 100% configuration question. It is not a question of your code, it is not part of your code anymore. You could see that I was changing the way preconditions are compiled without making a single change in production code, that is the most important part.
Q: Why not use Microsoft code contracts? How does this presentation apply to PostSharp?
Microsoft code contract is a grade library, which unfortunately having hard time right now. Recently it was turned into a community project and I don't see much activity on there. For those who do not know, code contracts library is defining preconditions, post conditions, and variants, even precondition inheritance, you can define preconditions on an interface, not on a class, and the compiler ... Not the compiler, the code contracts library would jump after building the byte code and rewrite your byte code so that all classes that implement certain interface with contract, the contract code will be injected into them after compilation, so it is tremendous idea.
Unfortunately it never got popularity, and it had a grain of poison from the day one. That byte code rewriting is a heavy hammer. You don't want your production code to be rewritten by any tool. If you imagine deploying such code to production, and knowing that some tool has changed it after you, then you have probably decided not to do that, and code contracts library, I like it very much, it is great idea, unfortunately it is not popular today. And it's not going in any direction towards success right now.
PostSharp is including the tools for code contracts, right now the tool does not support all these concepts that I have shown, however it is hitting the central point by turning contracts into a separate concern. In PostSharp, contracts are implemented as aspect, so again, it is outside of your production code. It is a very important idea to not keep contracts as part of your code.
PostSharp allows you to add patterns to C# without changing your language, and it comes with some ready made contracts library, which covers part of what you have seen in this presentation. But you are also free to create your own contract aspects, so if you don't like how we have prepared this, you can still use PostSharp and make your own pattern implementation.
Q: Is there any situation in which non private custom exceptions should be used?
A: Yes, of course. Exceptions are what |

The use of instant messaging (IM) technology at work is controversial, due to the interruptions it may cause and the difficulties associated with quantifying its benefits. In this study, we investigate the use and impact of IM tools in the workplace. Based on the communication performance theories and social network theory, we propose that the use of IM will result in work disturbance, improved communication quality and the establishment of trust between colleagues. These mediating variables will in turn enhance group outcomes. Our research model is validated by a survey of 253 working professionals. The data suggests IM can significantly contribute to communication performance in the workplace, where the benefits overwhelm the work interruption caused. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.<|endoftext|>Catholic Church relief, development and social service organisation Caritas Portugal presented a study in which it expressed great concern about the obstacles that prevent the weakest sectors in society from accessing basic services such as education, medical care, employment and housing.
In a study presented March 3 in Lisbon, the Portuguese Caritas made particular mention of the fact that housing prices have reached exorbitant levels, in both the capital and in Porto and in both the rental and owner-occupany sectors.
“The housing problem is very serious”, said Filipa Abecasis, editor of the local Caritas publication that is part of the European project “Caritas Cares”.
The study was carried out in 16 countries of the European Union, including Portugal.
The panorama sketched out by Caritas makes for difficult and concerning reading, so the document contains some suggestions for local authorities.
Starting with “decent wages, new jobs and guarantees for the unemployed”.
Caritas Portugal also called on authorities to “invest in publc housing with the possibility of purchase or rent even for the poorest”.
In addition, the study reveals that only one in five people in Portugal can afford to buy their own home.
Two years ago, Caritas published “Housing today in Portugal”, a similar study that already warned of the possible consequences of the recession, and of the sharp increase in tourist demand driving prices higher especially in the historic centres of Lisbon and Porto.
Among the solutions proposed by Caritas is to contain the emergence of housing in communal settlements and the launch of a basic law on housing.
“It is clear that only firm political will can solve the problem”, said Eugenio Fonseca, President of Caritas Portugal.
“It is essential that the person is always at the center of decisions”, the Caritas representative added, lamenting that for the moment “no government has wanted to talk with us about the proposals we have presented”.
The report presented yesterday comes ahead of the Portuguese National Caritas Week, which will take place from March 8 to 15.

<|endoftext|>Inertial-Magnetic Sensors for Assessing Spatial Cognition in Infants
This letter describes a novel approach to the assessment of spatial cognition in children. In particular, we present a wireless instrumented toy embedding magneto-inertial sensors for orientation tracking, specifically developed to assess the ability to insert objects into holes. To be used in naturalistic environments (e.g., day cares), we also describe an in-field calibration procedure based on a sequence of manual rotations, not relying on accurate motions or sophisticated equipment. The final accuracy of the proposed system, after the mentioned calibration procedure, is derived by direct comparison with a gold-standard motion tracking device. In particular, both systems are subjected to a sequence of ten single-axis rotations (approximately 90°, back and forth), about three different axes. The rms of the angular error between the two measurements (gold-standard versus proposed systems) was evaluated for each trial. In particular, the average rms error is under 2°. This study indicates that a technological approach to ecological assessment of spatial cognition in infants is indeed feasible. As a consequence, prevention through screening of large number of infants is at reach.<|endoftext|>[Study of dissemination and penetration of microorganisms in protective clothing].
Microorganism-protective working clothes should be considered one of the most important elements determining general culture of the production process, health state of the staff and technical and economic level of enterprises. In order to improve quality of special protective clothes, microbic contamination of overalls was studied in industrial premises with different levels of air bacterial contamination. Under laboratory conditions microorganism permeability of 15 articles of cotton cloth used for clothes weaving was also defined. Proceeding from the complex studies the recommendations on the use of fibre in microorganism-protective overalls' manufacture were presented.<|endoftext|>Termination of ventricular tachycardia by carotid sinus massage.
Intracardiac electrophysiologic studies were performed in two patients who had recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia. In both, the tachycardia was repeatedly terminated by carotid massage. In one patient, intracardiac electrophysiologic studies revealed ventricular tachycardia with 2:1 retrograde ventriculoatrial (VA) block. Carotid massage resulted in alternate Wenckebach retrograde VA conduction terminated by ventricular echo beats. When ventricular echo beats occurred at a coupling interval of 340 - 400 msec, the tachycardia was terminated. Similarly, induced atrial depolarizations (during ventricular tachycardia) produced ventricular capture and terminated the tachycardia when the resultant ventricular coupling interval was 330 - 395 msec. In the second patient, progressively premature atrial or ventricular depolarizations did not terminate the tachycardia. carotid massage had no consistent effect on retrograde VA conduction during ventricular tachycardia, but usually resulted in gradual increases in the tachycardia cycle length (50 - 100 msec) before abrupt termination of the tachycardia. This is the first report documenting termination of ventricular tachycardia by carotid massage alone (i.e., without prior drug intervention); hence, tachycardia termination by simple carotid sinus massage does not prove a supraventricular origin. The mechanism of tachycardia termination was due to ventricular echo beats from retrograde atrioventricular nodal reentry in one patient and to direct vagal effects on either the ventricular muscle or the ventricular specialized conduction system in the other.<|endoftext|>Importance of temporal symmetry in spatial discretization for geostrophic adjustment in semi‐implicit Z‐grid schemes
Among the dynamical cores of numerical weather prediction communities, many different discretization methods can be distinguished to solve the equations governing the motions in the atmosphere numerically. One of them, the Z‐grid approach, is based on solving the equations formulated in terms of divergence and vorticity on an Arakawa A‐grid, a grid where all the variables are defined at the same grid points. To permit an efficient semi‐implicit (SI) treatment, Z‐grid schemes were proposed in the literature that first perform SI time discretization on the momentum equations formulated in terms of velocity components in order to construct from this a discretized divergence equation. This publication shows that a careful formulation of such SI Z‐grid schemes is required to conserve appropriate dispersion relations for inertia–gravity, inertia–Lamb and Rossby waves. It is proven analytically for a two time‐level (2TL) SI Z‐grid scheme of the 1D shallow‐water equations that the spatial discretization must respect temporal symmetry, meaning that the spatial discretization must be identical in the implicit and explicit parts of the scheme. If not, the discretized waves are damped or amplified and their phase and group velocity may be seriously distorted. These findings are discussed in detail and both 1D and 2D numerical tests are carried out to demonstrate that a symmetric formulation is an important modelling constraint in order to obtain an appropriate geostrophic adjustment.<|endoftext|>Comparison of surface EMG signals between electrode types, interelectrode distances and electrode orientations in isometric exercise of the erector spinae muscle.
The influence of electrode type, interelectrode distance (IED) and electrode orientation on EMG signals from the paraspinal muscles was investigated. Bipolar electrodes were placed at distances 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 cm over the erector spinae in the cranio-caudal direction ("in series") as well as in the direction perpendicular to it ("in parallel"). Ten subjects performed 5 s isometric contractions of the erector spinae at 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% MVC by pulling upward on a handlebar attached to the floor. RMS EMG signals were analyzed for mean average amplitude (AA). Mean total power (TP) and mean median frequency (MF) of the raw EMG signal were determined using fast Fourier transform. In addition to graded loading, sustained fatiguing contractions were performed from which TP and MF were obtained. With increasing IED the AA and TP increased while MF decreased. Although a trend towards higher AA, TP and MF was found for electrodes "in series", as compared to those "in parallel", the difference never reached significance. It is concluded that consistent information about muscle activity was obtained with Miniature Biopotential Skin Electrodes and 14445C Hewlett-Packard electrodes independently from IED or orientation. Orientation "in parallel" prevented the electrodes from sliding during muscle contraction. The third tested type, electrodes developed in the Neuromuscular Research Center, Boston, proved |

The staff at the hotel is very friendly and pleasant, both in person and on the phone. They are also very efficient, making for a quick check-in process as well as being able to solve most problems quickly. They are responsive to guest needs.
The location is great for those looking for something to do. There are many restaurants and shops within easy walking distance and the beach is a short drive away. Also, the easy access to highways makes traveling to LA very convenient.
The hotel has a bit of a rundown appearance. Many areas are in need of painting and freshening up. Seeing the older conditions of the rooms and common areas is a letdown for guests who expect a better quality stay from this hotel chain.
The accommodations and features work best for short-term guests. Those who want to stay for multiple nights will have to be content with many water problems, like cold showers instead of hot, water pressure issues, and leaking showers. With that being said, the hotel does also have many guests who are long-term residents, so the hotel also doubles as a residential inn.
The air conditioning is the loudest aspect of this hotel. The units rattle and moan whenever they are turned on. While they can keep up with the heat, the sound might keep you awake at night.<|endoftext|>Sometimes you need a shot of inspiration to get yourself writing.

Screenshot is the layout view after turning 90deg to fit onto landscape page.
The reason for rotation is the page size limitation (A3) and the fact that you cannot rotate elevation views which is what I would do to keep the floor plan running vertically.

To straighten roads, build junctions either end of the section to be straightened and connect them with a bypass. Delete the old road then reconnect the ends with a new straight or smoothly curved section. Delete the bypass and make good any earthworks.
When replacing a road/rail crossing, build a temporary road bypass with a tunnel well below the level of the rail then delete the old road to clear the site. This will allow you to relay the track to remove any odd humps and dips where the rail crossed the road, before building the new crossing (over-bridge or underpass). Complete the job by demolishing the temporary road bypass and levelling any earthworks.

The acceleration of Bitcoin market maturity due to central bank easing.
Following recent central bank easing to stimulate the economy in the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, Bitcoin is revealing a more mature foundation than ever before.
The sell-off of traditional assets in mid-March that sent markets into historical lows only temporarily affected Bitcoin. Bitcoin, after losing almost 50% of its value in one day, quickly rebounded back to its’ pre-COVID prices, making it evident to investors that Bitcoin’s value has set a firm foundation around $8,000 USD, Bloomberg reports.
Lastly, with the Fed planning on keeping interest rates low through 2022, investors are looking for higher returning investments, and Bitcoin is quickly becoming the next best answer, especially as Fidelity Digital Assets recently released a report stating that 80% of institutional investors see value in digital assets.
A firming foundation indicating heightened maturity as Bitcoin records lowest volatility next to the stock market and commodities as several trends are mirroring 2016’s bull run.
With trends mirroring the 2016 bull run and 2017 all-time high, Sarson Funds agrees with Bloomberg’s prediction that Bitcoin will approach its’ all time high of 20,000 in 2020, and believe it is highly likely that Bitcoin will blow past its last all-time high as it continues to mature over the next year, with the COVID-19 pandemic amplifying the need for contactless payments.
While Bitcoin is on track to reach historic highs, Bloomberg is also reporting that Bitcoin is marking its lowest volatility against the stock and commodities markets. With the coronavirus accelerating maturity, Bitcoin’s 260-day volatility measure is currently the lowest ever versus the Nasdaq, as the ratio of the Bitcoin price to the Nasdaq is 1:1. Likewise, Bitcoin is also marking the lowest ever liquidity next to crude oil, which Bloomberg sees as a bullish indication that the crypto is truly heading towards equivalency to digital gold and will continue on an upward trend versus the commodity.
Bitcoin becoming a digital gold as it follows Gold’s historical trends.
Extending on Bitcoin’s emergence as a digital Gold, Bloomberg has deemed gold and crypto as their top assets to advance in 2020, with COVID-19 acting as the fuel they needed to solidify their utility as store-of-value assets and crypto’s emergence as a digital dollar. Fueled by the continuance of central bank easing through 2022, Bloomberg predicts that Bitcoin will continue to appreciate and strengthen its’ recognition as digital gold among investors.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, a leading Bitcoin on-exchange platform, consumes about 25% of newly-mined Bitcoins, compared to 10% in 2019, representing significantly higher institutional interest in crypto exchange-traded instruments.
The Institutional adoption of Bitcoin is also fueling the asset’s firming foundation and impending bull run. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), a leading Bitcoin on-exchange platform, currently takes a quarter of newly-mined Bitcoin off of the market for its own institutional operations and investments, marking an increase of 2.5x from 2019’s consumption.
Bloomberg also reported that GBTC’s current 30-day average AUM in Bitcoin equivalents is near $340,000, which is 2% of total bitcoin supply. From 1% of total supply in 2018, this doubling of the average AUM indicates a massive increase and growth in institutional investment in cryptocurrencies.
Increasing interest in Bitcoin Futures are significantly swaying investors to considering Bitcoin as a mainstream asset.
Bitcoin also recorded a near doubling in futures open interest since the level when the asset topped $10,000 in 2019, indicating a tilt toward higher prices in the near future, according to Bloomberg. While the 50,000 BTC within futures markets is minimal next to the total supply, the availability of Bitcoin futures and their recent growth is essential in Bitcoin’s path to becoming a mainstream asset class for all investors, Bloomberg reported.
Highest active level of Bitcoin addresses points to price stability around $10,000.
Bloomberg also noted that the recent two-year high of active Bitcoin addresses indicates support for Bitcoin’s price above $10,000. As hash rates and transactions continue to increase, Bitcoin has set a firm foundation around $8,000 with support for the price estimated above $10,000. With this being said, recent trends |
significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA in intestinal muscle layer was increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the intestinal motility 24 h after modeling in the ST 36+ non-acupoint group and the ST 36+ ST 25 group was increased (P<0.01), and the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA in intestinal muscle layer was decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05), and the expression of TNF-α mRNA in intestinal muscle layer in the ST 36+ CV 4 group was also decreased (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the ST 36+ CV 12 group and the ST 36+ CV 4 group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in spleen index among the groups (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
EA at "Zusanli" (ST 36) or "Zusanli" (ST 36) combined with "Tianshu" (ST 25) can improve intestinal motility in mice with POI, and the mechanism may be related to the improvement of local inflammatory reaction. In addition, abdominal acupoints should be selected carefully.<|endoftext|>Performance analysis of earliest-due-date scheduling discipline for ATM switches
Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks are expected to support a diverse mix of traffic sources with different quality-of-service (QOS) requirements. To providing satisfactory QOS to all network users, ATM networks are often required to prioritize users' traffic based on their service requirements. This paper initially examines several existing scheduling disciplines that offer delay guarantees for multiple service classes. Among them, the earliest-due-date (EDD) discipline has been regarded as one of the most promising scheduling disciplines. The EDD discipline schedules the departure of a cell belonging to a call based on the delay priority assigned for that call during the call set-up. Considering n delay-based service classes associated with n urgency numbers D 0 to D n-1 (D 0 ≤ D1 ≤…≤ D n-1 ) respectively, EDD allows a class-i cell to precede any class-j (j > i) cell arriving not prior to (D j - D i )-slot time. The main goal of the paper is to determine the urgency numbers (D i's), based on a decent queueing analysis, in an attempt to offer satisfactory delay guarantees for higher priority calls while incurring only minimal delay degradation for lower priority calls. In the analysis, we derive the system-time distributions assuming two service classes, based on a discrete-time, single-server queueing model with heterogeneous arrivals including renewal and nonrenewal arrival processes. On the basis of the analysis, the urgency numbers (D i 's) can be dynamically and effectively adjusted to provide a ninety-nine percentile delay guarantee for high priority calls under various traffic loads. Finally, we demonstrate the accuracy of the analysis via simulation results.<|endoftext|>Adipocyte Death and Chronic Inflammation in Obesity.
Cell death is closely linked to many diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic disorders. Increased adipocyte death has been reported during the development of obesity. Adipocyte death may be caused by excessive stress during obesity-related adipose tissue remodeling. Adipose tissue macrophages are key players in obesity-related inflammation and systemic insulin resistance. Accumulating evidence suggests that adipocyte death is involved in immune cell function and initiates inflammation through an interaction with macrophages; however, the precise mechanisms remain largely unknown. This review focuses on the contribution of dead cells (particularly dead adipocytes in adipose tissue) to the pathophysiological conditions associated with obesity. J. Med. Invest. 64: 193-196, August, 2017.<|endoftext|>Engraftment of splenic tissue as a method to investigate repopulation by hematopoietic cells from host and donor marrow.
The lymphohematopoietic function of the spleen in mice varies dependent on age and hematopoietic requirements. A method was developed to study splenic repopulation of mature and progenitor cell populations by grafting neonatal or adult spleen tissue under the renal capsule of splenectomized mice. Two weeks following implant of irradiated syngeneic neonatal spleens into B6-Ly 5.1 or B6-gfp recipients, host lymphoid (B220(+), CD4/8(+)) and myeloid cells (CD11b(+)) had repopulated the splenic grafts and constituted the majority of cells contained in these heterotopic implants. Notably, the percentage of lymphoid and myeloid cells approximated adult levels in contrast to preimplant neonatal spleen levels. This observation indicated relatively rapid repopulation of the grafted tissue by adult host cells and suggests that the repopulation patterns were regulated by the host. Three months post-implantation, the cell composition in the graft remained comparable to adult levels. Microscopic examination demonstrated normal splenic architecture including follicles and red pulp. Lymphocytes within the graft were functional as indicated by their proliferation in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and concanavalin A (ConA) stimulation. Progenitor cell activity determined by colony-forming unit interleukin-3 (CFU-IL-3) levels was also present in these grafts. Splenic implants were then assessed in transplant models following lethal irradiation and syngeneic or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Two weeks post-BMT, adult splenic tissue implants contained donor-derived B cells, T cells, and myeloid cell populations. As typically detected in the host spleen post-BMT, the grafted tissue also contained elevated levels of donor progenitor cells. By 3 months post-BMT, CFU-IL3 levels in the graft reflected the decreased levels characteristic of adult levels. The functional integrity of post-transplant splenocytes in the implants was also demonstrated by mitogenic responsiveness. In summary, this method should provide a useful model for the transfer of the splenic microenvironment to study the biology of the spleen in non-transplant and BMT settings.<|endoftext|>Planning the size of clinical trials with allowance for patient noncompliance.
Various approaches are considered for adjustment of clinical trial size for patient noncompliance. Such approaches either model the effect of noncompliance through comparison of two survival distributions or two simple proportions. Models that allow for variation of noncompliance and event rates between time intervals are also considered. The approach that models the noncompliance adjustment on the basis of survival functions is conservative and hence requires larger sample size. The model to be selected for noncompliance adjustment depends upon available estimates of noncompliance and event rate patterns.<|endoftext|>Pharmaceutical-Related Strategies for Health Care Reform in Canada: Federal Party Principles, Priorities, and Actions 2004–2006
Background: The guiding principle of the Canada Health Act (CHA) is to provide Canadians with “medically necessary care.” We note the historic limitations of the CHA with respect to the full integration of medicines and pharmaceutical health care and point to the priority given to drugs and pharmacy-related care in 2 recent federal reports on health care reform. In The Health of Canadians — The Federal Role (Kirby 2002) and Building on Values: The Future of Health Care in Canada and its related submissions (Romanow 2002), the role of drugs and pharmacy in Canadian health care receives unprecedented emphasis. Methods: To determine whether the emphasis on pharmacare made by Kirby, Romanow, and others is retained in federal-level health reform planning, we conducted a content analysis of major federal party platforms and policies tabled for the spring 2004 election (as well as brief reference to those tabled for the winter 2006 election). Results: Recommended pharmacy-related reforms focus on potential catastrophic costs to individual patients rather than on a consideration of essential medicines as medically necessary for a growing number of Canadians. Furthermore, little consideration is given to the role pharmacists could play in minimizing the potential risks of inappropriate drug use and associated costs. Discussion: We consider the difficulty of reconciling the principles of the CHA and the reality of a piecemeal pharmaceutical health care system. Conclusion: Health reforms are needed that take into consideration the growing importance of drugs in health care and the issue of equity and access to drugs for Canadians.<|endoftext|>Non-invasive diagnosis of esophageal varices after Baveno VI.
A major complication of portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis is the development of esophageal varices with the associated risk of variceal bleeding. Hence, the Baveno consensus on portal hypertension in its first five editions had recommended surveillance with periodic upper endoscopies in these patients to identify in a timely fashion the development of esophageal varices and initiate a primary prophylaxis strategy in those at a high risk of bleeding. For the first time, the Sixth Baveno Consensus on Portal Hypertension (Baveno VI) recommended using non-invasive tools to rule out the presence of varices with a high risk of bleeding. According to Baveno VI, surveillance endoscopy is not necessary for patients with "compensated advanced chronic liver disease" (cACLD) who have normal platelets (>150×109/L) and a liver stiffness measure (LSM) <20 kPa. In this review, we will briefly describe the currently available non-invasive methods to predict the presence of varices, such as serum tests, imaging, and elastography. We will also discuss the rationale that led to Baveno VI recommendation and describe the studies that have validated Baveno VI criteria after its publication. Finally, we will mention some potential caveats and suggest some areas for future research.<|endoftext|>WhatsApp has launched a suite of new product features over the past couple of quarters; from end-to-end encryption to the monetization of the platform.

to be focused on reviving the West Marin Citizens Council. Director Amoroso agreed to attend the upcoming Task Force meeting and report back to the Board
11. Marin County Local Coastal Plan (“LCP”) Update process: BCPUD Comments on the Marin County Community Development Agency’s Draft Issue Summary Paper for Public Facilities and Services.
Staff reported that the BCPUD submitted a second letter regarding the Public Facilities and Services Issue Paper to express the district’s strong objection to a proposed five-foot separation from groundwater requirement for septic systems in the coastal zone.
12. Advisory Ballot Measure for the November 3, 2009 Election re: Camping on Bolinas Beach
Staff recommended that the agenda item be deferred as director Kimball, who previously volunteered to draft the advisory ballot measure for the Board’s consideration, is out of town. Director Amoroso expressed concern about going forward with a ballot measure at this time; if the measure fails or the vote is close, the County then will be extremely reluctant to enact a full-time ban at any time in the future when it may well be needed. Director Smith stated that he feels the weekend ban is serving its purpose of deterring actual living on the beach. Director Amoroso said that if the district goes forward with the ballot measure, it should outreach to the public to be sure that folks are paying attention to beach conditions over the summer. He also stated that a public meeting should be held to discuss the topic; director Smith agreed. The Board then deferred further discussion of the item to the June meeting.
13. Volunteer Committee Reports
-- Alternative Energy: Director Smith reported that one of the invertors at the Woodrat Water Treatment Plant site went down on Saturday morning; he was out of town and SPG did not call the district until Monday morning. It seems a fuse blew (causing the investor to shut down) and needs replacement; the invertor technician will be on site within the next few days to evaluate the cause of the blown fuse. Director Smith noted that the district loses approximately $140 per day in lost electrical sales to PG&E when an invertor is down; a new fuse has been installed and the invertor is back on line.
-- Bolinas Planning Group: Nothing to report.
-- Bolinas Lagoon Technical Advisory Committee: Nothing to report.
-- Resource Recovery: Nothing to report.
-- Terrace Avenue/Alternative Access Road Committee: The Board requested staff to follow-up with Supervisor Kinsey’s office about the status of County funding for the engineering study to stabilize Terrace Avenue at Surfer’s Overlook.
-- West Nile Virus Task Force/West Marin Mosquito Control Coordinating Council: Director Siedman noted that an article in the Board binders reports that the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito & Vector Control District has reinstated its “no spray” list.
14. Other Business
a. Board Committee Reports
-- Finance: Report from the BCPUD Board of Director’s Finance Committee Regarding the Draft 2009-2010 Budget. Staff reported that the office has received one written protest to the district’s proposed sewer charge and proposed water rate increases; in addition, a customer has called to complain that the water rate increase may disproportionately affect lower income households with lots of people living at a property.
-- Legal: Nothing to report.
-- Mesa Septic, Flood Control and Roads: Director Smith stated that the Committee is waiting for director McClellan to return to town in order to assess a recent complaint about the speedbumps on Poplar Road.
-- Operations: Nothing to report.
-- Park and Recreation: Director Siedman reported that the Downtown Park committee met the prior evening and refined the plan; it has been necessary to make certain design changes to reduce costs and develop an annual budget for operating the park.
-- Personnel: Nothing to report.
-- Sewer: Nothing to report.
b. Minutes of the April 22, 2009 Regular Meeting
Director Amoroso stated that with respect to the April 22, 2009 agenda item concerning the Bolinas Community Center request for funds to pay for a waterless urinal and new ADA water closet, the motion provided that the approval is contingent upon the Center keeping the bathrooms open to the public and he would like the minutes to reflect this. Staff was directed to verify this by listening to the meeting tape.
D. Smith/V. Amoroso all in favor to approve the minutes of the April 22, 2009 meeting, as amended, subject to verification by staff per the meeting tape.
c. Warrants
V. Amoroso/D. Smith all in favor to approve the warrant list.

How many times have I found myself staring into the glowing interior of my refrigerator without a reason or purpose. Countless times. It’s an autopilot type of impulse. Mind gone blank? Look in the fridge. Want “something”? Look in the fridge. Know you are supposed to do something but can’t remember what? Look in the fridge. Half awake? Look in the fridge. Ad infinitum.
I even do that with other people’s refrigerators. And they seem to understand. Why? Maybe they do it, too. Is it universal? Do people all over the world “refrigerator gaze”?
Will refrigerator gazing replace “contemplating my navel” and “blue skying”?
Maybe we do this “gazing” because the fridge is where the instant gratifier, food, lives. We know we’ll feel/think/know better if we can just have that yummy tummy/slightly buzzed feeling. (Mmmmmm – beer, or insert favorite edible here).
Or maybe we’re just bored …
Maybe we’re training ourselves for the inevitable last journey where we really need to remember to “look into the light”.
Or maybe we think the fridge has “the answers”. I’m going to go ask it now, because, the answer, my friends, is glowing in the fridge.<|endoftext|>I'll be out of commission for the next little while as I embark on my second of two eye surgeries. I have a corneal disease called keratoconus, which makes the bonds in my cornea weak so that the surface bulges (my sixth ever blog post talks about it, and even includes a mapping of my eyes as they were at the time). Keratoconus is a degenerative disease, and the cross-linking surgery I'm getting is meant to halt the progression rather than improve the situation. Not so exciting, given the price tag and painful recovery, but better than the possibility of a cornea transplant one day.
I'm going to schedule a few posts over the next few days while I recover from the surgery. This means I won't be posting links on Twitter/G+/Facebook, so if you enjoy the blog, I'd love to have you stop by, leave a comment for me to respond to later, and maybe even subscribe!

Nel tirarle su, i marinai si resero conto di aver preso qualcosa di molto più pesante del solito, qualcosa che appena.
Il giorno 25 aprile 1977, l'equipaggio del peschereccio nipponico Zuiyo-maru, in navigazione a 30 maglia dalla costa neozelandese, trovò intrappolati nelle reti i resti di uno strano animale: questa enorme creatura aveva un peso approssimativo di 1800 chilogrammi e una lunghezza stimata in 10 metri. Una volta issata sulla barca, la carcassa fu oggetto di osservazione e sgomento: si pensò.
e inglese globster.Il plesiosauro rimasto impigliato nelle reti del viaggiatore giapponese Zuiyo Maru poco lontano dalle coste della Nuova Zelanda fece molto scalpore nel 1977 e venne anche riprodotto in un francobollo brasiliano prima.
The Zuiyo-maru carcass (ニューネッシー, Nyū Neshii, lit. New Nessie) was a carcass caught by the Japanese fishing trawler Zuiyō Maru (瑞洋丸) off the coast of New Zealand in 1977. The carcass's peculiar appearance led to speculation that it might be the remains of a sea serpent or prehistoric plesiosaur. Although some insisted it was not a fish, whale, or any other mammal. The current position of ZUIYO MARU is in Inland Sea with coordinates 34.37275° / 134.33550° as reported on 2020-01-14 17:19 by AIS.

Information. The current position of ZUIYO MARU is at East Asia (coordinates 34.48096 N / 133.75608 E) reported 11 mins ago by AIS. The vessel is en route to >JP MIZ / E, and expected to arrive there on Mar 21, 22:00.. The vessel ZUIYO MARU (IMO: 9874882, MMSI 431590000) is a LPG Tanker built in 2020 and currently sailing under the flag of Japan Montauk Monster: Montauk, New York, Raccoon, Montauk Project, Zuiyo-maru carcass, Globster, Stronsay Beast, Cryptid: Amazon.it: Frederic P. Miller, Agnes F. Vandome. El cadáver del Zuiyō Maru eran los restos de una criatura, de la que se afirmaba inicialmente que era un plesiosaurio, siendo capturado por el arrastrero Zuiyō Maru (瑞洋丸) frente a las costas de Nueva Zelanda en 1977. Aunque muchos científicos insistieron en que no era ni un pez, una ballena ni ningún otro mamífero, [1] los análisis posteriores han indicado que eran los restos de.
Il rinvenimento in Nuova Zelanda di una misteriosa creatura da parte del peschereggio Zuiyo Maru. A ricordare questa storia, ormai non più tramandata nel tempo benché assurda, è il sito Notizie.Era il 25 aprile del 1977, vicino alla Nuova Zelanda in un punto dell'Oceano Pacifico, quando il peschereccio Zuiyo Maru giunge in questa area per pescare degli sgombri a circa 300 metri di.
Yawata Maru (八幡丸) named after a Shinto Shrine. Built in by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. at Nagasaki. Laid down December 14, 1938. Launched October 31, 1939. Owned by Nippon Yusen Kaisha Line (NYK) as a cargo and passenger vessel Inspection of the Zuiyo Maru pictures reveals that the aquatic cryptid had a symmetrical pair of small upper fins on each side above the anterior flippers. If this observation is correct, then the identification of this animal as a basking shark i The Zuiyō-maru creature (ニューネッシー Nyū Nesshii, lit. New Nessie), or the Zuiyō-maru carcass, was the name given to a carcass discovered by the crew of the Japanese fishing trawler Zuiyō-maru (瑞洋丸) off the coast of New Zealand in 1977. While initially taken to be the carcass of an extinct plesiosaur, subsequent chemical testing on parts of the remains kept by the crew.
The Zuiyo-maru carcass (ニューネッシー, Nyū Nesshii?, lit.New Nessie) is a creature caught by the Japanese fishing trawler Zuiyō Maru (瑞洋丸?) off the coast of New Zealand in 1977. The carcass's peculiar appearance led to speculation that it might be the remains of a sea serpent or prehistoric plesiosaur.. Although several scientists insisted it was not a fish, whale, or any.
Letting rotting sharks lie: further evidence for shark identity of the Zuiyo-maru carcass Pierre Jerlström and Bev Elliott Another basking shark carcass washed up on the New Zealand coast reveals features that agree with the descriptions of the 1977 Zuiyo-maru catch.

The complete selection offers 159 different styles in a vast array of solid colors and stripes, which can be used for your patio cover, retractable awning, deck awning, window awning or commercial awning.
When we pneumatically sew our fabric awning covers and valances, we use a full piece of fabric in the middle of the awning and then sew from the middle to the outer edges. You ask why? We want our retractable awning covers to look great, that way on striped or patterned fabrics the stripe or pattern is the same on BOTH edges of the Sunsurrender retractable awning fabric.
We have made an effort to provide awning fabric images that closely represent the actual retractable awning fabric colors. However, due to all the possible variants -- light source, computer monitor quality, etc. -- we cannot guarantee that the fabric images accurately represent the true awning fabric colors. Please take this into consideration if you are trying to coordinate colors of the awning fabric with that of the binding (trim). We will gladly send awning fabric swatches upon request.
<|endoftext|>Both of our boys need their Open Water diver card now rather than Jr Open Water. I went to order new cards saying just that. Our information has not changed but they are charging $39.99 per boy. I can go to my local library and order a new library card for a dollar. Padi’s cards are not any better. I’m going to hate paying that when I know it could be less.
PADI, Put Another Dollar In. LOL I thought I lost my SDI ( Several Dollars Invested) Nitrox card, 30$ to replace it. The day it arrived I found my card under the seat in my truck. ARG.
You might consider going the eCard route? That way you don’t have to worry about losing it.
The AOW cards should have come with the course but then maybe not, I took a few NAUI courses where the card was extra and I really didn’t need it so I didn’t pay.
Here’s a thought. Do they really need the cards? If you are using a LDS that is PADI they should be able to look up the records and see that they have the necessary quals to dive. If you are going on a trip check with the shop you are using a get them to confirm that they’ve seen the kid’s records. Might be better than spending the money.
I never got my Dry Suit card and I’m not going to spend the money to get it because the shops I dive with can go onto the PADI system and see that I’ve done the dry suit course.
OK, I’m probably going to be banned by PADI for posting this but I don’t care. First, someone mentioned ecards. PADI charges for those too.
I agree that PADI charges way too much for cards and replacements and they also refuse to combine card certs so I have to carry a separate card as a rescue diver, nitrox card, etc. I carry the cards I need and I noticed that in less then a year my cards were turning to crap yet my bank debit card is in great condition and I’ve had that card for 3 years and use it multiple times per day. I wrote PADI an angry email regarding the quality of their cards. They did not respond so I figured they blew me off. About 3 weeks later I got mail from PADI that included brand new FREE replacement cards.
Moral to the story: The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Complain to PADI like I did. Eventually they will have to make changes. If not then maybe you’ll at least get free cards like I did.
How about printing the online records and cary a copy with you? I might do that for opps that want to hold your card hostage when you dive with them? No one holds your drivers license credit card etc. Why should they hold your dive cert card hostage?
Yes, PADI charges for eCards, but with it in eCard format you never lose it and never have to replace it, which eliminates the problem.
Also, you never need to carry more than 2 cards maximum. Nitrox card if you’re diving Nitrox, and any other card will get you onto a dive boat, let you rent gear, etc. so you can use any one of your other cert cards for that.
I have all of mine stored in my dive logbook other than my Nitrox and DiveMaster cards which I keep in my wallet and both of them have held up fine so I don’t know why you had issues with your cards?
When they have 150-200 divers in the water they know everyone is out of the water safely when they have no cards left to hand back out which makes sense to me.
I guess your car sitting in the parking lot could be a clue as well, but this way they know your name, and the name of your dive buddy b/c their card should be there as well.
It’s a good security precaution and unless they have a horrible check-in/check-out process shouldn’t be that big of an issue.
P.S. I’ve been to many bars that also hold either your CC or DL if you want to run a tab so that does happen as well.
why do you need a piece of paper to tell you something you already know? also where padi is concerned why do you need someone less competent than yourself to teach you anything?
I am an SEI (Former YScuba Program) they charge $25 to replace cards, expect my DM Card, which is reissued every year when I repay my DM Fee, and my CMAS 1 Star Instructor Card, which is valid for 5 years at a time.

Paired with a delicious seasonal roasted carrot romesco that goes beautifully with grilled vegetables and just about anything else. It’s the perfect combination as cauliflower has a very mild taste it highlights anything its paired with. The sauce really stands out here.
Cauliflower is so versatile and makes for a great meatless alternative that’s affordable. Its been used in many ways to replace meat in meals such as in this recipe and whole grains commonly seen as cauliflower rice. For other cauliflower based recipes here are some of our go-to’s Buffalo cauliflower sliders, mango lime cauliflower rice bowl, and roasted veggie wrap.
There isn’t much preparation required here. The most tedious is the sauce which can be completely made in advanced and kept cool until ready to use. The sauce may thicken slightly, simply add a bit of water and give it a good stir to bring it back to its original consistency. The rest is just to cut the cauliflower into “steaks” we’re referring to cutting 4 pieces out of the head that are about 1 inch thick with the florets intact, season them with olive oil and salt and pepper. That’s it. The cauliflowers do require you to be careful when handling and transferring from the cutting board into the foil and to the BBQ. Be sure to get a good grip on them.
It’s the start of Spring going into Summer which is why this recipe is designed for the grill. It’s paired here with shishito peppers which are also in season during this time and are great for grilling. They also require the same amount of cooking time as the cauliflower so there |

The availability of the exact Cadillac Ct6 Owners Manual in the car improves its benefit a lot more.
What unless you receive the publication from the beginning? Or, what if you once had the publication the good news is it offers removed without a find? Effectively, the answer is to find the book on-line. Things are quite modern and straightforward these days. You can easily down load the Cadillac Ct6 Owners Manual in PDF structure online.
The challenging factor about accessing car manuals on the internet is sometimes they are the whole variation and quite often they can be just a part of the book (incomplete). The imperfect model is usually the cost-free-to-download one.
If you wish to really put money into the Cadillac Ct6 Owners Manual, you may get the total edition. Obviously, it would acquire more total details about the car, which includes step-by-stage lessons concerning the auto, with photographs obviously.
Even if you possess the access simply for the free-to-down load edition, obviously you are likely to get sufficient details about the Cadillac auto. No less than the key information and facts are constantly in the model of the totally free or even the paying out one.
Now that it must be crystal clear to find out that each and every Cadillac owner needs to read the Cadillac Ct6 Owners Manual, you could start looking for the book from now on if you have not actually browse the publication ever since the working day you get the car.

of these there is a roller awning to help keep water off the top of the slide and prevent leaks. On the windward side of the RV the wind gusts were causing these awnings to act like sails and rock the trailer as well as threatening to pull the rollers from their moorings. We had to fold it up. We spent the night sleeping on chairs in the kid's room with all of the slides rolled in. The next day the wind was a little lower. Enough so that we could open the rest of the slides. The trailer still was rocked by the occasional gust. We debated trying to move on and get out of the wind. Laramie had been one of our planned extra days so we could go to the dinosaur museum at the University of Wyoming and visit the planetarium. Well, you only live once. We decided to stay. The campus of the university is beautiful. Once we got into the town, there was shelter from the wind.
The museum was cool. They had Big Al the Allosauraus. At the Museum of Natural History in Houston they had Big Al 2. This museum had the original. http://www.uwyo.edu/geomuseum/info.asp?p=23116 We toured and learned a lot. The kids loved it. That night we went to the planetarium. Max made it through about ten minutes before I had to take him out and wait in the hallway. Micheal said he was bored but when we got home I took him outside and we were able to find some of the constellations they talked about. You don't see those stars in Houston. The next day we took off with more wind warnings blaring on the radio. All day long fighting 40 mph winds with 50 mph gusts. All the way through Wyoming. Tense, nervous driving. The kids of course, are oblivious. They play and scream and yell just like they did in Kansas. I didn't like driving in Wyoming. It was cold and windy. Night temps in the low 30's high 20's F and days into the 40's. As we passed into Utah, the winds dropped thanks to some real, honest to goodness mountains and the temperature started dropping. When we pulled into the tiny mountain town of Coalville, UT it was around 30. No water here either at the site but we were expecting it this time. We filled up at the entrance to the park and then checked the weather. Spring storm warning. We had seen this one coming. There was a possibility of snow by morning. The park was right along a large, fast moving creek. The creek was level with it's banks. If it didn't snow, it would rain. I worried. When we went to bed I told myself when I woke up that night I would check the creek level. But, I was so tired I didn't wake up, Sarah did. She crawled back into bed and told me it was snowing.
Coalville Utah is gorgeous in the snow. The kids have never really seen snow. Sarah hasn't ever really lived somewhere it snows regularly. It was a new experience for them. We went outside and played, made snowballs and snowmen and snow angels. It snowed about 3-4 inches. Finally the kids just started stomping on the ice covering all the puddles. It was time to drive on. We left and drove North. Utah is gorgeous. The area around Ogden is prettier than I expected. Beautiful mountains and rivers. You Colorado folks may not think much of it but coming from Texas we found it pretty spectacular. We crossed the border into Idaho and stopped at the first rest area to take pictures of the kids and the gnome at the Welcome to Idaho signs. We learned that the area where we stood used to be covered by lake Bonneville. http://geology.utah.gov/online/PI-39/pi39pg01.htm Neat. Our destination for the day was Heyburn ID. We made it in good time and got set up at a nice park with a pretty view. Our plan was to go to the Craters of the Moon national monument. This was another planned extra day. We did make it up to the Crater's of the Moon. Most of the road leading through the park was closed due to snow and an unfortunate breakdown of the snowplow. We walked the first mile of the road and sat through some films at the visitor's center. Took some pictures and turned around to make our way home. When we reached the Interstate we saw again a sign for Shoshone falls. On a whim we decided to go and see it. Between the interstate and the falls was the Snake River Canyon. Holy cow! I didn't know that was there. We also learned that this is where that huge lake went. http://hugefloods.com/Bonneville.html After staring slack jawed at the canyon for a while we drove on to the falls and stared slack jawed there for a while. It is just amazing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoshone_Falls We finally pulled away and went home to rescue the dog who had been sitting faithfully at home guarding the house. Good boy.
Next day was a short drive with a planned stop in Fruitland ID. When we arrived we still felt good, the kids were happy so we kept driving. Ended up just outside of Huntington OR I believe it was. Nice place. Far enough off the beaten path that there was no cell service, no TV signal, no internet...nothing. Quite nice actually. Just an RV park sitting on the banks of a branch of the Snake river with large hills/small mountains surrounding. It was peaceful and uneventful.
We got up into the mountains just over the border and as we started climbing it began to get cold. There were signs recommending chains. Chains? Really? We had no connections the night before so we hadn't been able to check the weather. We didn't have any chains. No one else was stopping so we pressed on. Soon it began to snow with rapid accumulation. It didn't take long until we couldn't see 20 feet off the roadside and the only visible pavement on the road was the two tire tracks in the right lane. Our speed dropped to 40. Every once in a while a big rig would blast past in the left, one even fishtailing as it passed. Not good. The visibility and road conditions grew bad enough that I started looking for places to stop. The problem was that the exits were all drifting over and I didn't believe that I could drive the truck with the trailer safely through one and I certainly wouldn't make it back on anytime soon. We have four wheel drive on the truck, not the trailer. More tight grip driving while the kids play on. Slowly we caught up to a small convoy of 5-6 RVs. The one directly in front of us was a Cardinal fifth wheel with an Alberta license plate. I figured they were probably good, experienced winter weather drivers and they didn't have chains. IF they could make it, so could we. And we did. 20 minutes or so later we descended below the snow line and were simply driving down a 6% grade in the rain. No sweat.
I drive fairly slowly so it wasn't long before most of the convoy was well out of site in front of us. No worries. We did stop at a rest stop for a potty break for the kids and dogs. Who should we pull in next to but a Cardinal fifth wheel with Alberta plates. I saw a woman walking a small dog in the grass in front of the rv and asked her if that was her rig. She said it was. I said, "We were behind you in the mountains." Intending to thank her for the lead. She raised her hand and said, "I NEVER want to do that again. It was horrible." I laughed and thanked her for being in front. She stated she was quite terrified the whole time and just glad to be through it. Good times.
A quick note about Oregon. Upon crossing the border from Idaho we noticed that we were low on fuel. ($4.25 or so a gallon by now.)We decided to stop and fill up as well as re-caffeinate. I pulled up to the fueling island when a gentleman approached the car quickly. Being from Houston, this sets off certain alarms. It turns out, Oregon is a full service state. Each gas station employs an attendant who will fill your car for you.
So, when this gentleman approaches your car and asks, "What can I do for you?" It would be inappropriate to say, "Get the f*&$ away from my car." If this does slip out you should apologize.
I didn't say it. I thought it, but didn't say it because at about that time Sarah's voice came over the walkie talkie we use and told me it was OK, Oregon is a full service state.
After our Oregon mountain adventure Sarah and I decided we would just press on the extra time and make our destination of Fairview OR a day early. We were ready to get off the road. The further down the gorge we went, the prettier it seemed. It was kind of neat knowing that across the river was a different state too. It occurred to me that when we got to Fairview and parked I would be working in Washington state but the RV might not ever make it over. Then we wouldn't get a sticker for Washington.
Another quick digression. We bought a map outline and placed it on the side of the RV. It comes with stickers you can use to fill in the outline. We created some rules for when you can get a sticker. The RV must be in the state, we can't just go and stay the night in |
his or her own way but how has the death of one soldier effected your life and has cause you to grieve for his or her loss? What was their significance to you?
Since my own brother-in-law fought (an survived thank God) 2 campaigns in Afghanistan, My Wife's Cousin is in Iraq right now, my Great Uncle was a marine in the Pacific in WW2 and fought in Guadlecanal and Okinawa, and my grandfather landed on Utah Beach and was wounded 3 times and eared a bronze start in Europe, and more....I feel it very personally. Because I think that any one of those soldiers could be my brother-in-law or cousin. I think that any one of those guys could have been my grandfather and then I would never have been born, I think of the children and grandchildren who WILL never be born because of those 2500 deaths...and I STILL see value in their mission.
They die and I feel mad, sad, frustrated, helpless, and yet comforted. Comforted by the absolute knowledge that they are doing the right thing. This war is necessary, this war is nobel, this war will be long remembered as the point in history where an entire part of the world that had been enslaved since the dawn of man, finally became free!
Todd, we were not talking about WWI or WWII or Korea or Viet Nam. The Democrats were responsible for not dealing with Viet Nam correctly, that's history. the Republicans are responsible for not handling Iraq correctly. Afganistan - OK kill the bastards. But Iraq, - it's too bad that neither political party learned anything from history.
"Look, everyone is out of step except for my Johnny". REALLY ?????????????????
Todd, how can you say for sure that "TENS OF THOUSANDS of American and Middle Eastern civilians" would be dead if we hadn't started a war with Iraq?
Did you all ever ponder that the WMD are hidden somewhere in remote Iraq or were shipped over to Syria or Iran BEFORE the war started? No, that probably isn't it. After all Iraq is only the SIZE OF CALIFORNIA! Saddam flew his jets to Iran before the Gulf War. Saddam still believes that he will rule again in Iraq.
Did you all ever ponder where all those artillery shells came from that are used in IEDs???? They haven't been imported in the past couple years! Approximately 40 IEDs are discovered before they detonate DAILY in Iraq. Another 20 are detonated every day in Iraq. That's about 60-120 artillery shells used by the insurgents on a daily basis. Saddam didn't care about hiding them before he went into hiding. But, you can bet that he hid every WMD or plans of WMD before the invasion.
He had nothing to hide before the war but would delay UN inspectors by hours or days or weeks before they could inspect. Now think a bit people......
Do you guys understand what the buildings looked like when the U.S. military took them over for our troops??? Some of these buildings had abandoned disorderly rooms. Other rooms in those same buildings were cleaned spotless.
How many documents and "projects" are there buried in the sands and hills in that country. How many deals were made with Syria and Iran by basically saying "I'll be back for these, but if not, they're yours to enjoy."
If there is WMD's in Iraq, are they waiting for a special time to send them over? Saddam was hiding, so why didn't he just launch the "WMD's"? He was screwed anyways and was indeed one corrupted ruler, so what was he waiting for to send his "WMD's"?
<|endoftext|>Research on the Polishing Performance of CMP Slurry for the Sapphire Crystal
Aiming at the problems such as metal ionic contamination, poor dispersion property and low material removal rate (MRR) in the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process for sapphire crystal, a proper CMP slurry based on the organic basis was studied in this paper. Through the single-factor experiment, the effect of different abrasives, pH regulators, dispersants and active agents on the surface roughness and material removal rate (MRR) were studied and a fine CMP slurry was developed. The polishing performance of developed CMP slurry was also researched by comparing the MRR and the surface roughness of sapphire crystal with that polished using the KA-901 CMP slurry. The results show that the MRR and the surface roughness corresponding to the developed slurry were all better than KA-901 slurry, and the developed CMP slurry has a good application prospect.<|endoftext|>Dossier on Black Radicalism: Introduction: The "Autonomy" of Black Radicalism
and Richard Wright in this issue of Social Text are selections from a forthcoming collection of recent work on the history of black radicalism: Rethinking Black Marxism.1 The collection is intended to fill a gap in our understanding of the politics of black radical activity during the twentieth century and to respond to a sense that the remarkable wealth of new work on the subject has marked a significant shift in historiographic orientation. More than twenty years ago, a number of historians began to revisit the participation of African Americans in the U.S. Communist Party, challenging the consensus of Cold War–period scholars, including Wilson Record and Harold Cruse, that—in the memorable phrase of Mark Naison—the story of blacks and communism was shot through from top to bottom with “manipulation, disillusionment, and betrayal.”2 The “new historians” of organized communism, working with a “willingness to acknowledge the indigenous influences on party politics,”3 offered a more sanguine view of the legacy of blacks in communism, noting in particular the sometimes subtle impact of African American radicals on party policy and practice at both the local and national levels.4 The growing body of scholarship that has emerged in the wake of this revisionist project has extended its focus on black participation in communist movements to take up the broader and interconnected field of black radical work, whether party-based or not, especially in the metropolitan centers of the West. The orientation of the historiography has largely shifted, in other words, from unraveling the intricacies of organized communism to elucidating the complex parameters of African diasporic radicalism in all its varieties.5 Recent work emphasizes, for instance, the common ground of radicalism inhabited in a place like Harlem in the 1920s by interacting and overlapping forces as diverse as Cyril Briggs’s African Blood Brotherhood, Marcus Garvey’s UNIA (Universal Negro Improvement Association), the socialist organizing of A. Philip Randolph and the group linked to the Messenger, W. E. B. Du Bois’s nascent PanAfricanism, Claude McKay’s internationalist “vagabond” Bolshevism, and the antiracist campaigns of Walter White and the NAACP.

A September 8, 2001, Semra Sezer—wife of Turkish Republic president Ahmet Sezer and a retired teacher—started the Support Campaign for National Education (2003, 2004, 2005). This campaign aimed at finding problems in national education and offering solutions. Assessment meetings about the campaign were held on May 5–6, 2003, in Istanbul; October 9–13, 2004, in Izmir; and November 16–18, 2005, in Antalya. Those who attended the assemblies came from 81 cities and included students, teachers, representatives of civil society organizations, authorities of the Ministry of National Education, wives of governors, and academicians. At the assemblies, the Support Campaign for National Education examined the Turkey’s economic, social, cultural, and educational dimensions and considered the relations between civil society organizations and the state.<|endoftext|>Room scatter studies in the air kerma strength standardization of the Amersham CDCS-J-type 137Cs source: a Monte Carlo study
Corrections for room scatter, [ksc(d, H)]RM, as a function of source-to-detector distance, d, and source-to-floor-height, H, and also departure from constant room scatter, ksl, have been computed for rooms of various sizes using Monte Carlo methods for air kerma strength standardization of the Amersham CDCS-J-type 137Cs brachytherapy source. These corrections will also be applicable to any type of 137Cs source that may be considered for standardization. It was found that, depending upon the relative position of the source with respect to the surrounding concrete scattering surfaces (side walls, floor and ceiling) and different set of d values, the assumption of constant room scatter overestimated the air kerma strength, Sk, by between 0.2% and 0.6%.<|endoftext|>The Use of a Genetically Engineered Pseudomonas Species (Shk1) as a Bioluminescent Reporter for Heavy Metal Toxicity Screening in Wastewater Treatment Plant Influent
Heavy metals are known to be inhibitory and toxic to the activated‐sludge microbial community in biological wastewater treatment plants. Toxicity screening of aqueous mixtures of these heavy metal ions in plant influent could use both chemical and biological methods. As a biological method, luminescent bacterial bioreporters offer the advantages of a simple test procedure and rapid response.
Current biologically based methods for screening aqueous streams for toxicity are labor‐intensive, inaccurate, or difficult to use in continuous monitoring applications. In the present study, a system was developed that is simple and easily automated. This system is based on the bacterium Shk1, a genetically engineered bioluminescent Pseudomonad whose parent strain was originally isolated from activated sludge.

We use two backticks to introduce an indented HERE document
and then specify the regular expression quasi-quote
interpreter. This is brief and clear and not too full of
demarcating cruft; it's not the usual `/[a-z]+\[\d+\]/` but
it's still pretty nice.
String Escapes & The Backslash Plague
--------------------------------------------------------------
Naturally, one desires to use character escapes in HERE
documents; however, the backslash plague is a bother and
we'd not like that so much, either.
Many Haskell escapes should be ignored. The string escapes
for double quote and newline are unnecessary; likewise, we
don't need to escape backslash. On the other hand, we can
not do without character escapes for `\BEL`, Chinese
characters and so forth. Let us adopt the rule that the 2
and 3 letter escapes are kept, as well as the hexadecimal
escapes; the "control-with-character" escapes, octal
escapes, decimal escapes and all single character escapes
save `\&` are ignored.
What if we want to document the escape rules of HERE
documents in a HERE document? We have to have a way to
"unescape" the escapes. The rule proposed is odd but simple:
escaping = `` example rings once when the first paragraph is printed
and thrice when the second is printed. It becomes the
Haskell string:
unlines
[ is the most sensible way that I can see to get rid of
the need to escape backslashes but I grant it's a bit
burdensome. I expect such advanced escaping to be rarely
used.
HERE documents are an aid to quasi-quotation and scripting.
The syntax here proposed is simple, using only backticks in an
unusual pattern, and allows for following the layout rule when
that is desired.

One painting done a long time ago was based on a Native American image of a ceremonial dance. I gave it to a friend who was a massage therapist to hang in her studio. After a few months, she gave it back saying it was too intense for her and her clients. I had no idea it would engage a viewer in that way; the colors and images were so muted. I moved a few times after that, carrying it around all rolled up. I don't know where that painting went. All I have is a picture of the painting, the picture based on another picture, at least once removed from the original.

Of how the lap-work cradle
Of a mother, in horizontal transfer,
Makes little waves of sleep
Under an ebony tree.
He sleeps through the sounds
Of night owls and fruit bats
Not knowing the difference
Between the two.
Yet looking constantly out at
The breast that feeds, the child suckles
The nectar, not knowing
The difference between
Right and left.
And through the serpents
In the forest, the moon on the lake
And dawn undressing the gloom
He sleeps, wakes up and suckles
Not sensing any difference

You know how I am always talking about the Recipe Journal my mom created so many years ago? It’s one of my MOST treasured possessions and you can use this Cinch Tool to create one for your family. What an AMAZING way to preserve family memories. You can also use the Cinch tool to create a custom planner.
How to make a cinch-bound journal
This tool punches through the many layers of paper, the hard front and back covers of the book and inserts a wire binding wire to hold your book together. You can punch through 20 sheets of copy paper! It’s awesome.
The instructions are printed right on the machine which makes it SUPER easy to use and alter for different projects!
I also love that all of the paper confetti doesn’t get all over the place like it does when you use a hand paper punch. They are all captured in a drawer underneath the Cinch tool, for fast and easy clean-up and disposal.
Here’s how to make your on Cinch-Bound Journal
How to make a cinch-bound journal
Materials:
Gold .625″ Cinch Coil (you can use any color coil you want)
Cinch Board – (2) cut to 8.5″ x 11″
White Cardstock for inner pages
Simple Life — Papers, embellishments and puffy stickers
Adhesive
Directions:
- Cover both sides of Cinch chipboard with patterned paper.
- Use Cinch to punch holes in front and back covers and in all inside pages (instructions below).
TIP — Before using your Cinch for the first time, punch scrap paper with all of the punch holes to remove residual oil left on the machine from the manufacturing process. When the scrap paper comes out clean after punching, your machine is ready to begin your project. And.
If you want. Do not try to cut through more than the thickness of 20 sheets of copy paper at a time!
There’s a handy chart on the machine that can help you figure out how many coils you need and then you trim your wire binding to size using the really cool.
You turn the dial on the top of the machine to select the size of the binding coil that you are using. Then place open area of the coil against the back edge of the Cinch tool, and lower the handle firmly to seal the coil. You might have to repeat this step a couple of times for bigger projects. Flip the book’s covers around into place, and your bound book is DONE!
3. Embellish front cover with emphemera and stickers. Use foam dots to add dimension.
4. Tie tassel to spine.

can see, I didn’t add any fixed costs or overheads such as your time, salaries and annual fees, Internet charges, and so forth. These costs are not included in your Aliexpress product cost calculations. You can also decide on a profit margin for these expenses. I usually keep 2.5x to 3.0x markup when dropshipping products.
As you can see, traditional pricing is based upon simple logic. You can begin your dropshipping business with a cost-based strategy.
This strategy, however, lacks significant input. It is blind. It doesn’t take into account market conditions or competition.
This market data is crucial as it can help you determine if your prices are too high or low in comparison to other dropshipping shops.
This is basically how we spy on dropshipping companies and adjust the prices of our Aliexpress products accordingly.
Modern E-commerce platforms have many tools that allow you to automatically track competitor prices, and sometimes even track stock levels. Price tracking tools such as Prisync and Keepa are useful for keeping track of product prices in another e-commerce shop.
You may think that if I know the prices of my competitors, I will offer my lowest price so I can get more Dropshipping customers.” This is not going to work. There are few things that can go wrong when the selling price is too low.
This will prevent you from losing all the profits that could be made by raising your price.
Customers might believe that your Aliexpress products and services are not of high quality. This could be the reason for the low price.
You might lose your customers to a competitor who may set the price lower. You would be unable to offer anything else if the “low price” was your only strategy.

What if your prices are too high? Dropshipping shops with higher product prices will show you why.
They might offer short delivery times and excellent customer service. Or, they may offer discounts to customers who return. You cannot increase your price and then wait. For that price, you must offer something unique.
So where are you going to place your price?
This section will help you understand basic math concepts. If you don’t want to learn maths, you can skip the next para.
If you gather competitor price data and create a price distribution depending on your Dropshipping niche you might end up with either a positively or negatively skewed curve.
The curve will be negative skewed if you have high-end products. Conversely, a curve that is low-end will be positively skewed if it has high-end products.
If you are able to recall the Arithmetic Mean and Median as well as the Mode of data distribution, then the Mode is the price at the highest number sellers are selling this Aliexpress product. The median will be the middle price (about 50-50). The mean price will be the average price of a competitor.
The price data of competitors can be biased in different directions depending on the niche.
If you are a high-quality store/service with good customer service, you can easily target the Average value (mean value). If you feel your services are superior to the average Dropshipping store you can increase and test the price.

Pricing isn’t a one-time thing. To find the best price, you will need to adjust your pricing several times. This is part of running an online Dropshipping company.
You must understand the importance of your online dropshipping business to your customers. You should adapt your game plan to meet their needs and behaviors. When it comes to Aliexpress product pricing, the customer factor cannot be ignored.
2/3 people visit an online ecommerce shop to check out the Aliexpress products and compare prices.
Nearly half the population is looking for coupons and discounts.
Approximately 1/4 of these people are searching for promotions.
You may be able create a blurred image of your customers by keeping these numbers in mind. We need to make this image more clear before we can set product prices.
Let’s now see what you’re selling.
People will not compare prices when you sell high-end or luxury products. They will instead compare your services. Your site is visited by quality-conscious customers. You can increase your prices and customer service by investing in quality.
You can sell to hobbyists and people who are passionate about your products if they are familiar with the prices. They will be able to tell the difference between a $38 product or a $40 product. You must be concerned about price. Many potential customers may be searching for coupons, deals, and promotions. With a few coupons, you can convert this target market to returning customers.
People will look for lower prices if you sell low-end Aliexpress products that aren’t as concerned about quality or customer service. They may not conduct extensive market research. They might not do much market research, but if the price is right for a product, they will buy it.
This is an old way to create price tags. It is far more affordable than $10 to get $9.99. This is not going to expire. However, there are limitations.
This pricing method is only applicable to low- and mid-range products. Your reputation can be damaged if you put a $9999.99 price tag on top of $10000.
It is also true that prices ending in odd numbers work well. However, I could not find any way to test this idea. Perhaps you could check that out.
Complex prices can hurt your Dropshipping sales conversion rate, especially when we are talking about psychological pricing. A price tag of 387.82 is more likely than a tag of $388.03 to get a sale. Despite the higher price tag, the second tag looks simpler and smaller than the original.
This pricing method uses the keyword “FREE”. People are more likely to buy if they see that word. This is basically what you do: promote the Aliexpress product by giving away a sample, but increase shipping costs to cover expenses and have a small margin.
The idea behind free shipping plus is to attract new customers.
Once you have a customer, you need a way to cross-sell, up-sell, or convert them into returning customers. You won’t be able to use the free plush shipping strategy as your only pricing strategy for very long if you don’t have such a system.
Remember to provide a reason for the promotion if you offer FREE shipping plus shipping to Dropshipping customers.
You might have seen sales promotions such as “buy two and get one free” or even “buy two and get 10% off”.
These are bundle pricing options. A bundle can be made of multiple Aliexpress products to create an offer. You can offer a 30% discount on a Bluetooth mouse by offering a mouse-pad.
This will allow you to make secondary sales and, even though you may have a lower profit margin, you can still make some money by selling more.
Bundle offers have one problem: customers will not be tempted to purchase individual products at a regular or higher price after seeing the offer.
This is when you set your product’s price below the average market price. If you have enough marketing power, you could quickly promote the offer as a limited-time deal and then slowly increase the price.
This will allow you to break into the market and attract new customers with a brand new product. As we discussed, it is important to have a way to keep your customers from being harmed by this promotion. You will quickly lose money.

After we’ve discussed the pricing strategies of online Dropshipping merchants, it is time to choose the methods that you will use for your Dropshipping niche.
You can’t use one pricing strategy. You may need to use multiple pricing strategies to make Dropshipping a success.

. Leaning in the driver’s window he asked, “What’s wrong?” I gave him that sexy pout I’d perfected in the mirror and in my best little girl voice I whimpered, “A gentleman always opens a door for a lady.” Josh glanced to Heaven for strength, stomped around to my side and flung my door open. I giggled, gave my shoulders a shake setting those boobs jiggling, swung my legs out the door, (just like that hosiery ad on TV), stood, and pranced off toward the entrance, swinging my hips in victory.
I made damn sure I beat Josh to that door too, then just stood there, hands clasped behind my firm little butt, smiling innocently. Give Josh credit, he knew when to admit defeat. Without comment, he opened that door for me too.
We walked through the women’s wear section of the department store, but Josh quickly pronounced all those items too “low budget”. I thought some of the suits and dresses were quite nice and said so, but Josh insisted that we go “first cabin” if we did this. He wanted the woman who appeared for the interview to be a “Class Broad” (his words) and felt that she should dress accordingly. Who was I to argue? We finally wound up in an upscale woman’s clothing store.
Now, I’ve never been what you’d call a “clothes horse”. I like my tee shirts and jeans. Occasionally, you can force me into a suit and tie, but it takes a lot of effort.
Suddenly, I was seeing the world from a whole new perspective. I was wearing a gorgeous, sexy body, and I wanted clothes that would show it off. Josh and I spent almost three hours conducting a mini-fashion show with me as the staring model. The saleslady, a professional looking woman in her 50’s was very helpful. Josh explained that his “little sister” had just landed a job with a prestigious firm and needed a “starter wardrobe”, and off we went.
I was having a blast. It can be fun to have people staring at you, admiring how you look. I can see why women like to be fashion models.
Jennifer (the saleslady) would inspect each outfit while Josh watched over her shoulder. They’d quietly confer as I strutted my stuff around the aisles. In the end, we picked out four complete suits, three dresses, and several blouse/skirt/slacks combinations that Jennifer assured me I could mix and match with the rest to create an adequate wardrobe. She carefully measured my feet and picked out four pairs of shoes, mostly conservative, low heeled pumps in “goes with anything colors”. Finally, she selected a very nice, leather, shoulder bag type purse.
I just about choked when she tallied it up and presented Josh with a bill for just over TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS! Josh, bless him, didn’t even turn an eyelash. He just plopped down his Gold AMEX. I was so chastened by the amount that I quickly picked up the lion’s shared of the boxes and began toting them out to the car. I suddenly didn’t feel like playing mind games and insisting that Josh be a gentleman and carry everything for his ” delicate little sister”. We were just about out the door when Jennifer called out, “Oh, Hon . . . why not stop off at Victoria’s on the way out? Nothing like a little sexy underwear to give spark to a power suit!”
Now Josh was grinning.
**********
If “clothes make the man” then sexy, slinky, silky underwear makes the woman.
Man . . . in some ways, I was the ‘kid in the candy store’ Bras of every description; lightly padded, push-up, “miracle”, demi, strapless . . .. Panties in every color of the rainbow; lacy, frilly, satiny, virginal, daring, sleazy, thongs, “g-strings” . . . half slips . . . full slips . . . camisoles . . . corsets (ouch!) . . . body hugging teddies . . . garter belts . . . stockings, (oh! the stockings!) . . .
I tried them all.
And poor old Josh, he didn’t get to play this time. The all woman sales staff made it clear; he could pay the freight, but the dressing rooms were off limits, strictly “woman’s country”. Perhaps that added a little extra thrill for me. Standing there at the mirror, looking at that amazing body as it displayed all those forbidden views of woman’s under-dress, I felt like a spy in enemy territory. Undiscovered and getting away with something.
I want to say here . . . I’m about as sexually “straight” as a guy gets. A real “plain vanilla”, “X / Y-chromosome”, “bowling with the guys” type. I truly don’t think I’m a cross dresser, or transvestite, or what ever the currently “politically correct” phrase is. I don’t’ think I really have any problem with cross-dressing, per se. I don’t have anything against the folks who are “into it”. They’ve never done anything to hurt me so “live and let live.” I just honestly think I’m not one of them. I suppose that doesn’t seem too believable with me standing here in a mirror feeling all “hot and bothered” over these basque, g-string and white stockings I’m wearing. Again, I have to say; the suit changes so many things. If it had been me, “in my own skin” as it were, I wouldn’t . . . I COULDN’T be doing this. I’d just dry up and blow away from embarrassment. But in the suit, it was the “live sex show” from yesterday all over again. I was just calling the shots and watching as this sexy blonde carried out the instructions.
Four hours from the time we started, we were back in the car heading home, several dozen boxes heavier and Josh two thousand dollars lighter.
We made one last stop at one of those chain drug stores. I browsed the makeup aisle for a bit then selected a “complete” cosmetics selection from one of the major designers. I also picked out several fairly neutral shades of lipstick. Finally I scanned the periodical section and grabbed two woman’s magazines. One promised “complete make up tips for work or play” and the other advertised a “beginner’s guide to fabulous make up.”
**********
And so, finally, we came down to it. The big interview was scheduled for 11 AM Tuesday morning.
I spent all morning Monday “en femme” trying on my various outfits and practicing my makeup. Makeup’s not as easy as you might think. I’ve got a natural artist’s eye and touch. Still, the first few attempts were pretty. . . “striking” . . . might be a polite term. By the fifth try, I was up to “cheap streetwalker”. However, by mid-afternoon, I’d finally arrived at something that I felt closely approximated the pictures in my magazines. I’d also made a pretty good dent in my supply of cosmetics and used up a whole jar of cold cream. Tired, and somewhat on edge, I went through the ritual of removing the suit and carefully hung it up to dry. I then went for a long walk. Usually, that cleared my head, but not today. I was just as edgy when I got back home and saw that Josh had come home early. I found him puttering around the kitchen.
“Where the hell have you been? I came home early just to prep you for tomorrow.”
I collapsed on the sofa. “Back off Josh. Since when do I have to tell you when I’m coming or going?” Almost immediately I regretted my words. “I’m sorry man, I’m just nervous is all.”
He walked around to his chair and sat down, his “businessman mode” clearly evident. He even had his briefcase with him. “You should be nervous. This is a big interview you’re going to and it’s already cost me a fortune to set it up.” Seeing me tense up to strike back, he quickly continued. “But, nervous is good . . . it’ll give you quick reflexes tomorrow. Besides, I know Old Man North inside and out. I can get you past him, no problem.”
I felt my heart pressing against the walls of my throat. “You mean the OWNER OF THE FIRM is gonna be conducting my interview?”
Josh grinned. “Don’t sweat it, Bro. That’s actually a point in our favor. Old Man North has been around two years longer than dirt. He’s one of the last surviving relics of the “Old School”. That’s one of the reasons we’re in the mess we’re in down there . . . why we don’t have female executives. North still clings to the notion that women are inherently evil creatures put on this Earth solely for the purpose of tempting man into sin.”
I scratched my head. “And this helps?”
Josh nodded. “I’ve been checking into the other two candidates for the job. We’ve really lucked out. They’re both “new corporate women”. Real hard chargers out to climb the business ladder. North gets one good look at them and he’ll |
.
Yuki needed his help now, much more than Sakura did. And Touya wasn't about to let Yuki down.
Now he had to talk to Yuki, but it absolutely had to be private. Touya looked for opportunities throughout the week, and finally, after a soccer team meeting, he saw Yuki standing alone underneath a tree, waiting for him.
Yuki greeted him with his usual cheer, but Touya couldn't bring himself to do the same.
His friend's smile disappeared. "Touya?"
Touya had a mad, sudden urge to touch his face, but instead he put his hand on the tree by Yuki's head. Resting his weight on it, he wondered again which intimate conversation they were supposed to be having.
"What?" Yuki asked softly.
He was in danger. That was the important part.
"Yuki, you think I don't know. No, maybe you don't know yourself. But I don't want you to disappear."
A nervous smile crept onto Yuki's face. "Why would I disappear?"
He wasn't going to be put off this time. "Just listen to me." And here he went again. "I… you…"
Akizuki swung out from the branches of the tree. "You what?"
Touya leapt back with a shout.
She jumped down and brightly talked about how she'd been napping in a tree and how, implausibly, a teacher had been looking for him.
Who took naps in trees, anyway?
"Are you doing this on purpose?" Touya asked bluntly.
Her smile didn't waver. "What are you talking about?"
He couldn't prove anything. And it had only happened twice. Maybe she really was just a rude stalker.
Touya sighed, and excused himself.
The trouble was, he wasn't sure why Akizuki would bother getting in their way. If it was just that she liked him and wanted Yuki to disappear, well, she only had to bide her time, didn't she?
It was bad enough that his limited abilities meant that Li brat was in a better position to help Sakura than him. Not being able to save Yuki was something he simply couldn't accept.
"Akizuki is a strange one, isn't she?" Yuki said later, by way of a conversation starter.
"I wish she'd find someone else to harass," Touya muttered.
"Not that-- she's enthusiastic, but you've always had your fans, Touya. I mean she's always saying things to me that don't make sense, like that I'm 'making things easy' for her."
Touya stopped. "She said what?"
"That I was making things easy for her. Or was it oblivious? I never know what she's talking about, but she definitely dislikes me."
Well, that was the end of the rude stalker theory. She clearly was doing it on purpose, though the exact nature of that purpose continued to evade Touya.
It was getting to be almost Christmas time then, and it would have been difficult talking to Yuki alone even if it weren't for Akizuki's interference and Yuki's increasing desire to sleep at home whenever possible. The jobs Touya still had were promising extra pay for longer hours, his teachers were assigning more homework, and the threat of university was beginning to hang over his head.
And then of course, there were Christmas presents that had to be bought.
Touya brought up the subject one morning when he was biking to school, Sakura just barely behind him. He had intended to clarify his plan to get their father a new wallet so that she wouldn't worry about them both getting the same thing, but Sakura seized upon the idea and was visibly disappointed when Touya pointed out she didn't have the money to buy a wallet by herself.
Touya hated to see her unhappy. "I was going to buy Dad a wallet anyway," he said casually. "I don't mind if we buy it together."
Sakura perked up immediately, and they agreed to meet after school and pick one out together.
When he got to the classroom, Yuki was already there, sleeping on his desk. Torn between tenderness and concern, Touya went to wake him up. It proved to be rather difficult, and after a few groggy words of explanation, Yuki dropped his head onto his arms again.
Touya shook his shoulder angrily, and Yuki reluctantly raised his head again. This wasn't good. He needed to have this conversation now.
Naturally, Akizuki leaped on him before he had the chance. He was starting to get openly irate at this point.
At least she didn't bother him when he was having regular conversations with Yuki. Touya held the door for him as they left the building, Yuki reassuring him that he was fine to go home by himself.
Touya watched him go, wishing he could somehow be in two places at once so that he could spend time with Sakura and look after Yuki.
It was worth one last try. "Yuki!"
Yuki turned around and smiled at him beatifically.
He would get to the point immediately this time. "I know the truth, that you are--"
It was all Touya could do not to slam his palm into his face. "I suspected you might come out."
While he was struggling to get Akizuki off him, Yuki said, "See you tomorrow," and walked away, which only made Touya struggle harder, but it was useless.
Enough was enough. "You're doing this on purpose."
"What are you talking about?" Akizuki said brightly, just as she had done before.
He didn't have time to argue with her, his sister was waiting for him. He told her there was no way they were walking home together, and, after some more grappling, managed to disentangle himself from her.
When Touya finally rode up to the gates of Sakura's school, he was tired and guilty. He began to apologize for making her wait, when he realized that it was the other Sakura again.
He sighed. "Something happened to Sakura again?"
She stammered nervously, but he wasn't paying much attention. He could sense that Sakura wasn't that far off, but if she had gone to the trouble of sending her double instead, it was obviously something she didn't want him involved in.
So he went Christmas shopping with the other Sakura.
She seemed happy enough about it, until they stopped for tea and sweets, when she began to sober up.
"Don't worry, I won't tell Sakura about it," Touya assured her.
He thought he might be able to make her feel a little better though. It wasn't a very fancy or expensive present, but he had thought hard about something that the other Sakura might like.
Her eyes widened when she opened it.
"You really have long hair, right?" It wasn't that he could see her true form, not exactly, but he got a kind of sense of her that was much clearer than the little he could occasionally make out of the other Yuki.
She clutched it to her chest and bowed, whispering, "Thank you so much."
Honestly, it was the least he could do for someone who protected and cared for his sister.
He only wished there was some way Sakura's spirits could help Yuki.
New Year's arrived. After the traditional morning's teasing of his sister, Touya headed out with his family.
There was no sign of Yuki.
He was probably fine, probably just stopped somewhere for some food or got lost in a conversation or slept through his alarm. Touya left early to go by his house anyway, promising his father that he'd give his and Sakura's good wishes to Yuki if he found him.
He let himself into Yuki's house, calling for him in case he was having a late breakfast or half-asleep so that he wouldn't alarm him.
Yuki was passed out on the floor.
Yuki's eyelids twitched, and slowly, slowly he opened his eyes and lifted his head. "Touya?"
"What's wrong?" he asked, willing himself to relax.
"I got really sleepy all of a sudden, again. It's all right, but," his expression turned puzzled, "why are you here?"
"What do you mean, why am I here?" Touya snapped, taking his frustration out on the only available target. "You were the one that wanted to celebrate New Year's with us, Yuki! But we waited for a long time, and you never showed."
"I'm sorry," Yuki said glumly.
It was just like Yuki to apologize for something that wasn't his fault in the least. Touya sighed. "It's all right. If we leave now, we can still meet up with Sakura and--"
Yuki's torso began to droop, his head falling towards Touya's lap.
"Sorry," Yuki whispered. "But for some reason, I'm really sleepy."
That was when Touya saw it-- Yuki's hand was transparent.
"Yuki," he choked out, unable to articulate anything else.
They said nothing for a long while then, Touya holding Yuki as though he might shatter if he let go, Yuki drifting back into sleep. Eventually, Yuki's hand solidified again.

( you do have internet service though ) .just the beauty that is around you that you can take in without the interruptions of your face paced life. You pretty much have full access to everything that you may need while staying at Villa Sol y Mar. There is a beach that is close by which is really nice...beautiful sand....trees for shade and some snorkeling...but you will have to hike to get to the beach. It is a great workout...lots of steps up the hill...and lots of steps down. Well worth the effort to enjoy such a beautiful area. Taxi's can be called to their home & arrive in about 5 min or less. The ride into Santa Cruz is about 15 min & will run about 50 peso's each way..well worth the money. Breakfast is served every morning which will include lots of fresh fruits..yogart..cereals..& the most wonderful waffle you will ever taste....thanks to Elsa's wonderful cooking :-). There is fresh squeezed orange juice & the best coffee ever too. We found that staying at Villa Sol y Mar was just perfect for us...we ventured out for dinner & found wonderful excursions to the other areas for us to explore. If we had stayed at one of the all inclusives we wouldn't have ventured out as much as we did and would have missed out on so much of the culture of their food & the beautiful areas that we saw."Guest: Sue E.

I approach my artwork like an archaeologist in reverse: taking familiar objects from the present and representing them asmysterious relics of the past. I am especially drawn to pre-Renaissance iconography, and other periods in art history, when the shape of frames/formats became an integral part of the overall imagery. I usually sculpt and gild my own picture frames and consider them part of the work.
My most recent work explores the topic of genetic experimentation and other exotic technologies. In my work I try to underscore the inherent dangers of our rapidly changing world with a sense of playfulness. My mixed-media works are simulacra of antique scientific models and illustrations. I often combine different media that blur the boundary between painting and sculpture. I paint on sculpted forms as though they were 3-dimensional canvases. It is my hope that the work will spark discussion, debate and even chuckles among my viewers.Artist's Bio:Troy J. Muller is an Omaha-based artist and art instructor.

These photos were taken today on our slightly circuitous way home from church, when we dropped in to the Granite Rock Reserve to have a bit of a stroll through the amazing granite plutons that make up the 4 km square park.
The granite was formed by the intrusion of magma through the earth's crust. This granitic magma crystallised and cooled slowly underneath the earth's surface, and when the overlying rocks weathered, the granitic plutons, or tors, were exposed. Apparently there are almost 300 of these outcrops in Victoria alone. Metamorphic rocks in our area include schist, schistose, hornfels, knotted schist, quartzite and phyllite. Sandstone and shale are also found in the reserve. All between church and home!
A 360° view of the surrounding countryside, a perfect autumn day, and a BBQ lunch of sausages and sauce in bread, an excellent salad of homegrown tomatoes with basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and a fine bottle of Avoca Rose, and the day is complete.
Nature study made easy. The way I like it.
Gorgeous! Looks like they make for good climbing :)
That is too cool! You would love our fossils :-) And yes, a Rose would be a lovely way to end that day!
Sounds good to me!
You have so many stunning places to sight see around your place!
Just beautiful. Love the last picture of Jemimah!
I enjoy seeing your local area.
With all the rain our house yard and paddocks are green and overgrown but I've noticed all these small brightly coloured tiny flowers and orchids. It;s a shame to mow them down.
I have been inspired to get out more especially now it is Autumn and cooling and the rains are intermittent. We are surrounded by nature here and I need to make greater use of it. God is so good.

than anywhere else in the world."
"Soon, science will give us vaccines and treatments faster than we've ever produced them in human history.
"Soon, science will allow us to rebuild our infrastructure in greener, more sustainable ways."
McMurry-Heath joined BIO earlier this summer, coming from Johnson & Johnson where she had served as vice president of global external Innovation and global leader for regulatory sciences. McMurry was an Obama administration appointee to the Food and Drug Administration. Earlier in her career, she was also a health aide to former Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn.
In her speech, McMurry-Heath also said that, too often, human health, animal health and environmental health are discussed separately, "but really, there is but one health."
The pandemic, she said, has revealed "how a food desert in Wuhan led hungry people to eat exotic species in a wet market, which unleashed a plague on the world," and "the connection between a lack of environmental justice and COVID mortality."
"And as bad as this pandemic has been, it pales in comparison to what awaits us if we don't take bold and drastic action to combat climate change," she said.
McMurry-Health noted this is why BIO stands with Senate Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and House Agriculture Conservation and Forestry Subcommittee Chairwoman Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., in support of the Growing Climate Solutions Act, "to allow producers to be rewarded for using science to address this challenge." That bill would help set up carbon credit standards, certification and technical assistance at USDA.
Biotech companies are "pioneering new ways to generate proteins with minimal carbon footprints, using our deepening understanding of DNA to minimize the spread of animal diseases," she said, "using gene editing to develop plants that capture more carbon from the atmosphere -- all, while creating a new potential revenue source for farmers."
"Our agricultural sector has an outsized role to play in fighting climate change -- to benefit all Americans," McMurry-Heath said.
She joined BIO on June 1 "at the peak of the pandemic and at the peak of national protests about social and racial injustice," she said. "At BIO, we believe that science is the definition of progress. And if science is progress, then access to sound science is the definition of justice."
"Government and industry have an opportunity -- and an obligation -- to work together in the face of the threats to our economy, our families, and our way of life ...," McMurry-Heath said.
"We should believe the scientists' warnings. We must change the narrative about the value of science in America to realize its transformative potential. My friends, let's follow that beacon. Let's invest in science and make sure all Americans can access its bounty."
McMurry-Heath did not directly endorse the Democratic candidates for president and vice president, but she cited the campaign slogan in concluding that "together, with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we truly will build back better."
Her presentation and those of other presenters on the Leaders of American Agriculture symposium were not recorded, but BIO made a written copy of her speech available to DTN.

Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-I) is an important global health problem in the world mainly in the endemic areas of HTLV-I infection. It was previously reported that Mashhad, in northeastern Iran, is a new endemic region of HTLV-I. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and phylogenetic analysis of HTLV-I in Sabzevar, located in the southeast of Mashhad. In this cross-sectional study 1445 individuals were selected by multistage cluster sampling. Serum samples were screened for anti-HTLV-I antibody using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); all of the ELISA-positive samples were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Long terminal repeat (LTR) sequencing was carried out to determine the type of HTLV-I in Sabzevar. In the primary screening by ELISA, 26/1445 (1.8%) of those sampled were reactive for HTLV-I antibody. Twenty-four out of 26 samples were confirmed HTLV-I infection by PCR (24/1445). The overall prevalence of HTLV-I infection in Sabzevar is 1.66%. The prevalence of the virus infection in men and women was 2.42% (11/455) and 1.31% (13/989), respectively. Seroprevalence was associated with age, increasing significantly among those older than 30 years (p=0.015), and a history of surgery (p=0.002), imprisonment (p=0.018), and hospitalization (p=0.005). Three out of 24 positive HTLV-I samples were selected for sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of LTR. The results showed that HTLV-I in Sabzevar belonged to the cosmopolitan subtype. The present study showed Sabzevar is a new endemic area for HTLV-I infection. Our study emphasizes that systemic HTLV-I screening of blood donors in Sabzevar and other cities in Khorasan province is important and should be taken into account.<|endoftext|>I don’t venture that much into Power Metal these days, those something about the Italian band IVORY MOON caught me, the beginning of the track with the modern IRON MAIDEN-like singing and dual guitar leads to kick the song of in a good manner.

Abstract This visual essay and explanatory text presents my practice-led research focusing on two works by medieval author Christine de Pizan. Conflating the act of writing a book – a thesis against institutional misogyny – with the construction of an imaginary city, the first work, The Book of the City of Ladies, 1405, has been seen as a proto-feminist manifesto. I focus on the under-researched architectural and urban allegory depicted in the text, which imagines a utopia inhabited solely by women and constructed for them by a woman and on the manuscript's accompanying illuminations displaying three different stages of the construction of the city. Inspired by Aristotle’s Politics and revisiting the ancient Greek metaphor, by which a state or society and its institutions are conceived of as a biological human body, in The Book of the Body Politic, 1404, de Pizan offers her version of a medieval political theory, which I connect with her allegorical city.<|endoftext|>Arthur Golding's Metamorphoses: myth in an Elizabethan political context 1
Modern scholarship has been divided over the literary quality and merits of Arthur Golding's 1567 translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses. While the text was popular in its day, most modern students find it rather odd. This paper argues that Golding's text conforms to a larger strategy exhibited in his oeuvre, and that failure to examine the Elizabethan Metamorphoses cognizant of the translator's other texts is to divorce it from a critical exegetical framework. Rather than being ‘odd’, Golding's translation served a literary agenda that can be explained and analysed once the crucial context is supplied. In order to place Golding's Metamorphoses in the perspective of his life's work, this essay examines his original writings, dedications, paratexts, and so on, to construct a coherent series of statements regarding religion, politics, society, and the purpose of literature in a culture conflicted by the debates of the Reformation. The authors also provide a textual analysis of the myths of Byblis and Orpheus to demonstrate the manner in which Golding translated Ovid's Latin. The final result places the Elizabethan Metamorphoses within Golding's world view and explains the ‘oddness’ to the modern readership.<|endoftext|>[Diagnosis of the follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Significance of immunohistochemistry].
AIMS
To study the expression of cytokeratin 19 (CK-19), HBME-1 and Ret in follicular-patterned thyroid tumors, and their significance for the diagnosis of the follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
111 well-differentiated follicular tumors were examined by immunohistochemistry: 59 papillary carcinomas (43 of the follicular variant), 40 follicular adenomas (among which 11 atypical adenomas), 10 oxyphil cell tumors and 2 follicular carcinomas.
RESULTS
CK-19 was diffusely expressed in all the papillary carcinomas, and was also expressed in 2/4 oxyphil cell carcinomas and 4/11 atypical adenomas. 90% of the follicular adenomas (26/29), the six oxyphil cell adenomas and the two follicular carcinomas showed at best a focal staining of dystrophic areas. 78% of the papillary carcinomas and 3/11 atypical adenomas were stained with HBME-1, whereas 26/29 adenomas (90%) and the 10 oxyphil cell tumors were negative. 34% of the papillary carcinomas expressed Ret (most of them were of the usual type (14/20)). The staining was often weak and focal (13/20). The other tumors were all negative for Ret.
CONCLUSIONS
CK |
I left in my head and my heart. And I was gone in a couple of years altogether and got — joined the civil rights struggle and the anti-war movement. I didn't have words to go around it then, but I do now. And the words are that God is personal, but never private. And I have a privatized notion of faith that never touched the world.
Ms. Tippett: So you left the church because you felt that the church…
Rev. Wallis: Yeah.
Ms. Tippett: …wasn't meshed without that and couldn't get — couldn't make the connections you were making?
Rev. Wallis: To be honest, I felt kind of kicked out, because I was raising these questions and they really didn't want them in the church. You know our favorite verse in those days was, "For God so loved the world," John 3:16, "that He gave His only begotten son. And who so ever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The problem is, we only focused on the last two stanzas about everlasting life and not "for God so loved the world." And the world was who I cared about is — was my world. I was a teenage kid; I wanted to change the world. And they didn't care about changing the world. They just didn't care about the world.
Same thing happened to me. Reared as a Southern Baptist, grandchild of a Presbyterian minister, I was struck full force by the Civil Rights movement about the same time and also felt more or less kicked out of the church I had known. When deacons formulated a game plan how NOT to seat any black people should they show up to make trouble some Sunday morning at our white church, I knew there was something wrong.
Krista Tippett is all over the place with her programs. She treats a bewildering array of subjects and people with sterling journalistic professionalism. I don't listen to every program, but when I do I enjoy her approach to her subjects, I appreciate the respectful manner with which she handles everyone, and I always learn something.

Krista Tippett speaks with Rick and Kay Warren
This week's Speaking of Faith spotlights the recent work of Rick Warren and his wife Kay. With a river of fame and money they practice what they call "reverse tithing," giving away ninety percent and keeping ten percent for themselves. The Purpose Driven Life has sold and continues to sell tens of millions of copies in scores of languages. But the statistics, impressive as they are, are nothing compared to the vision and new direction they have taken to lead Christians in a global mission to address poverty, illness and illiteracy.
They claim no political or social agenda other than putting faith to work in meaningful, practical ways, but this couple has become what in the Sixties we called radicalized or politicized. As soon as I heard the promo I knew this was an important program. There is no way that I can capture in a blog post the scale and excitement of Rick Warren's latest vision and mission. He notes that Christians worldwide, including all who identify themselves as "Christian" are a very large population.
There are two-point-three billion people who are church members. That means the Church is bigger than China. It's bigger than India. It's bigger than China and India put together.
Warren regards every breathing, confessing Christian as a potential source of input for a global mission the likes of which has never before been seen. He cites Psalm 72 as an illustration of how powerful leaders should direct their power. Solomon prayed to become the most powerful man of his time. But he wanted to use that power to care for those who had none of their own...
The mountains will bring prosperity to the people, the hills the fruit of righteousness. (4) He will defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy; he will crush the oppressor. All kings will bow down to him and all nations will serve him. (12) For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death. He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.
But Solomon didn't have the Internet and today's powers of telecommunication. Rick Warren does, and he doesn't hesitate to use it for God's purposes.
Listening to this couple is a great way to get your batteries charged. Be advised, this is not your Daddy's Old time Religion. This is a message to Christians everywhere that the challenge of our lifetime is a lot bigger than giving Christmas food packages to a few local families. It is my hope that this hour of radio can somehow be repackaged and spread to the same millions that have already ingested the Purpose Driven Life.
Krista Tippett talks about the "post-religious-right" era. I'm not sure what that means, but if the story of the Warrens is any indication, it strikes me as one of the most important and powerful releases of religious energy of our time. This program is tagged Part II, and I have not yet heard Part I. Should we use the word revival? I don't know. But if it's not revival, it's the next best thing. Next on my to-do list is to hear Part I.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Jets linebacker Calvin Pace will miss the opening game of the season as he recovers from surgery on his right foot, his team said on Sunday.
Pace was injured in a preseason game against the Washington Redskins on Friday and will undergo surgery on Monday.
"I'll probably definitely miss the first game, it's safe to say that," Pace told the Jets website (newyorkjets.com).
"Beyond that I don't really have an idea. Hopefully it'll still be a somewhat speedy recovery."
The injury is yet another setback for the Jets' defense, already missing All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis, who is embroiled in a contract dispute.
Pace has seven years of experience in the NFL and has played a good contributing role to the Jets for the last two years.
The Jets open the season at home to the Baltimore Ravens on September 13.

In February 2008, President Bush went on a five country tour of Africa. The six-day trip/media event was reproduced as a home-style, slide show, assembled and narrated by the president himself. President Bush spoke to members of the Leon H. Sullivan Foundation while flipping through the visuals of his experience. The Sullivan Foundation works with the African diaspora, friends of Africa, and international corporations to empower Africa. Bush’s slide show has a personal, “I’m-just-telling-my-friends-about-the-good-times-I-had-in-Africa” feel. The President likes the times he had in Benin, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana and Liberia. He notes that “America is on a mission of mercy” and that he very much enjoys the drumming and the dancing and the colorful garb. There are visits to AIDS clinics, signings of investment treaties, and skit watching—about sexual abstinence. What seeps out of the slides, though, is not the good times, but rather the American self. The slide show becomes an example of manufactured memory and political narcissism.

The demand for random numbers for security applications is increasing. A conventional random number generator using thermal noise can generate unpredictable high-quality random numbers, but the circuit is extremely large because of large amplifier circuit for a small thermal signal. On the other hand, a pseudo-random number generator is small but the quality of randomness is bad. For a small circuit and a high quality of randomness, we purpose a non-stoichiometric SixN metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) noise source device. This device generates a very large noise signal without an amplifier circuit. As a result, it is shown that, utilizing a SiN MOSFET, we can attain a compact random number generator with a high generation rate near 1 Mbit/s, which is suitable for almost all security applications.<|endoftext|>Jonae Maxey, BBA ’21, always dreamed of being an entrepreneur.
Through her involvement in optiMize — a student-led organization at the University of Michigan that offers workshops, mentorship, and funding for students to create self-directed projects that make a positive impact — she has made that dream real. A native Detroiter and junior at the Ross School of Business, Maxey is laying the foundation for social impact through real estate.
Maxey discovered her passion for real estate investment during her sophomore year. She recalls having a major transformation in her business mindset after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. The book details how to achieve financial independence by investing; Maxey, who has always wanted to alleviate Detroit blight, was inspired to invest in real estate. Now, she wants to involve other Detroiters in that process.
She began her journey by building her network and industry knowledge. Maxey audited an MBA-level real estate class taught by Michigan Ross lecturer Peter Allen. Inspired by a Ross class in human capital management taught by Cheri Alexander, chief innovation officer and executive director corporate learning at Ross, Maxey began considering community development through business.
Maxey’s goal is to “connect with tenants on a personal level and also build a business around human capital, around people.” To address low rates of home ownership in Detroit, Maxey plans on renting homes with buyer-friendly, rent-to-own leases. In these land contracts, a portion of the rental payments will go toward buying the home.
<|endoftext|>Notes on quantitative structure‐properties relationships (QSPR) (1): A discussion on a QSPR dimensionality paradox (QSPR DP) and its quantum resolution
Classical quantitative structure‐properties relationship (QSPR) statistical techniques unavoidably present an inherent paradoxical computational context. They rely on the definition of a Gram matrix in descriptor spaces, which is used afterwards to reduce the original dimension via several possible kinds of algebraic manipulations. From there, effective models for the computation of unknown properties of known molecular structures are obtained. However, the reduced descriptor dimension causes linear dependence within the set of discrete vector molecular representations, leading to positive semi‐definite Gram matrices in molecular spaces. To resolve this QSPR dimensionality paradox (QSPR DP) here is proposed to adopt as starting point the quantum QSPR (QQSPR) computational framework perspective, where density functions act as infinite dimensional descriptors. The fundamental QQSPR equation, deduced from employing quantum expectation value numerical evaluation, can be approximately solved in order to obtain models exempt of the QSPR DP. The substitution of the quantum similarity matrix by an empirical Gram matrix in molecular spaces, build up with the original non manipulated discrete molecular descriptor vectors, permits to obtain classical QSPR models with the same characteristics as in QQSPR, that is: possessing a certain degree of causality and explicitly independent of the descriptor dimension. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Over their lifespan, general wear and tear from daily usage is a common problem that homeowners face. Ideally, the owner should maintain their HVAC units through regular maintenance [link “Taking Care of Your Air Conditioner, June 22, 2020” blog here].
However, sometimes your home’s air conditioning units are already experiencing some damage or breakdown, and the signs are starting to show. There are common and distinct signs that you should watch for that give clues about the health of your air conditioner. Here are five of these signs that are your signal to call for professional help.
Air conditioning units are designed to run without significant noise. There is always a soft sound from the motor when the unit starts and shuts off, but other sounds are a sign of a problem. If your A/C unit is grinding, squealing, or making other abrasive or loud metallic crashing noises, it’s time to pay attention. There could be a broken part inside the machine or other critical damage. A delay in responding to this cry for help could worsen the problem, making it more difficult and more expensive to fix. A quick call for professional help may save you from having to completely replace the unit.
Another significant marker of a problem with your air conditioner is a strong smell. Your A/C unit should not be producing any noticeable odor. If it is, this could be a sign that there is burned wiring insulation within the system that needs to be replaced. Another worrying smell is a strong, musty odor, which indicates that there is mold or other microbial growth inside the air conditioning unit. This problem is usually caused by inadequate maintenance and cleaning. This should be addressed by professionals as quickly as possible, as it is a significant health risk to you and your family.
If insufficient cooling happens when your air conditioning unit switches on, or the airflow is very poor, it is not functioning correctly. Poor airflow could indicate an issue with the fans inside the system that push air out into and through your home. It could be a clogged air filter, a broken motor or a faulty fan control board.
Another airflow issue you may experience is if the A/C unit is blowing hot air instead of cold. This could be the result of a broken compressor or a refrigerant leak.
These problems are easy to fix with professional help, and can be avoided through regular maintenance of the system. If you’re experiencing improper airflow from your air conditioning unit, it’s time to call for expert help.
With rising temperatures through the spring and summer months, it is common to experience high power consumption by your air conditioning units. But if the bills keep coming in unusually high month after month without a corresponding weather change, you may have an old system that needs to be upgraded. Regular maintenance of your HVAC units by yourself or by professionals can help prolong its life, but eventually replacement is going to be your best bet for an older unit. A visit from a qualified technician can identify the problem and help prevent increasing energy costs.
The air conditioning unit in your house depends on refrigerant to provide cooling. This process produces condensation, but it should not leak into your home. Any fluid leakage from the air conditioner means that there are problems with your cooling system. Minor issues like a blockage in the drain tube that channels the condensation away from the air conditioner can cause moisture to spread around the unit. More than just an annoyance, moisture allows for mold to grow and thrive, which can pose serious health risks to you and your family. Moisture could also indicate a refrigerant leak, which creates a health hazard and should be addressed immediately.
With regular care and maintenance, you can reap years of benefits from properly functioning HVAC units. If you listen to what your unit is telling you, you can recognize early warning signs of bigger problems. It’s easier and less expensive to address smaller issues as they arise rather than let them slide and end up with a costly repair bill.

Although early reperfusion of ischemic myocardium is now considered to be the only intervention able to restore the various cellular functions altered by ischemia and to prevent progression toward cell death of myocardial cells due to necrosis or apoptosis, reperfusion is accompanied by various manifestations grouped under the heading of reperfusion damage or reperfusion syndrome. Functional recovery is therefore not immediate, but usually appears after a certain delay following a period of contractile dysfunction (myocardial stunning) lasting for several hours or even days after the start of reperfusion. The cellular mechanisms underlying the reperfusion damage may involve cellular calcium overload, over-production of oxygen-derived free radicals, cellular acidosis, inflammatory reaction, and microcirculatory dysfunction. Numerous pharmacological studies have been conducted to limit such reperfusion injury and, consequently, prevent stunning and/or reperfusion-induced arrhythmias. A number of experimental |
, differentiating it from Scleroderma. Haematological disorders, solid tumours and autoimmune disorders are frequently associated with EF. Historically, the presence of peripheral eosinophilia, elevated ESR and hypergammaglobulinemia were considered to be diagnostic of EF. It is now well recognised that neither the presence of eosinophilia in the blood nor eosinophilic infiltartion in the fascia is necessary for its diagnosis. An en bloc surgical biopsy including skin, subcutis, fascia and muscle is the gold-standard test for diagnosing EF. Magnetic resonance imaging helps to locate a suitable biopsy site and to monitor treatment response. Although its underlying aetiology is unknown, there is a growing body of evidence supporting an immunological origin. Immunosuppressive drugs are used to treat EF and the corticosteroid is the first line treatment. A significant proportion of patients can develop permanent disabilities such as joint contractures, tendon retraction and subdermal sclerosis. Occasionally it can be treatment refractory or have a relapse-remitting course. We report another case of EF with a literature review.<|endoftext|>A Novel mTOR-Regulated Phosphorylation Site in Elongation Factor 2 Kinase Modulates the Activity of the Kinase and Its Binding to Calmodulin
ABSTRACT Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) kinase is an unusual calcium- and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that is regulated by insulin through the rapamycin-sensitive mTOR pathway. Here we show that insulin decreases the ability of eEF2 kinase to bind calmodulin in a rapamycin-sensitive manner. We identify a novel phosphorylation site in eEF2 kinase (Ser78) that is located immediately next to its calmodulin-binding motif. Phosphorylation of this site is increased by insulin in a rapamycin-sensitive fashion. Regulation of the phosphorylation of Ser78 also requires amino acids and the protein kinase phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1. Mutation of this site to alanine strongly attenuates the effects of insulin and rapamycin both on the binding of calmodulin to eEF2 kinase and on eEF2 kinase activity. Phosphorylation of Ser78 is thus likely to link insulin and mTOR signaling to the control of eEF2 phosphorylation and chain elongation. This site is not a target for known kinases in the mTOR pathway, e.g., the S6 kinases, implying that it is phosphorylated by a novel mTOR-linked protein kinase that serves to couple hormones and amino acids to the control of translation elongation. eEF2 kinase is thus a target for mTOR signaling independently of previously known downstream components of the pathway.<|endoftext|>2019 Index IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing Vol. 10

Abstract Industrial sector of a country is an engine to economic growth, a sustained and incessant supply of electricity is an important determinant of industrial sector performance, which further contributes to better growth of economic indicators. This research study analyzes the joint role of electricity supply and industrial sector development for economic growth of Pakistan, moreover it also finds the impact of electricity shortage on overall economic growth. Theoretically this study is based on endogenous growth model, and empirically it applies Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to find short run as well as longrun estimates. Major findings of the study include that labor, capital, electricity supply and industrial sector development play an important role for improving the economic growth of Pakistan and shortage of electricity results in dismal performance of industrial sector. Major recommendations include that, despite there are policies and incentives in the industrial sector, it cannot be improved or contribute to economic growth, unless the problem of electricity is fixed.<|endoftext|>Calcium-containing endosomes at oculomotor terminals in animal models of ALS.
Altered calcium homeostasis has been demonstrated in human spinal cord motor axon terminals of ALS patients, in spinal motor neurons of mutant SOD transgenic mice and following injection of ALS immunoglobulins. In all three paradigms oculomotor neurons are relatively spared. To explore mechanisms of selective resistance, we applied similar calcium localization techniques to terminals of oculomotor neurons in the two animal models. In both cases large vacuoles, which connect with the extracellular space, accumulated the majority of intracellular calcium, while terminals of vulnerable neurons (e.g. innervating interosseus muscle), which possess no such vacuoles, displayed evenly distributed calcium. These relatively unique membrane enveloped structures may permit neurons to control their cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration and contribute to selective resistance.<|endoftext|>ON QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY
In the late twentieth century, human race entered the era ofinformation technology (IT). The IT industry, which deals with the production,processing, storage and transmission of information, has become an integralpart of the global economic system, a completely independent and significantsector of the economy. The dependence of the modern society on informationtechnologies is so great that omissions in information systems may lead tosignificant incidents. Telecommunications are the key information technologyindustry. However, information is very susceptible to various types of abuseduring transmission. The units for data storage and processing can bephysically protected from anyone wishing harm, but this does not hold truefor the communication lines that span hundreds or thousands of kilometersand are virtually impossible to protect. Therefore, the problem of informationprotection in the field of telecommunications is highly significant. Cryptology,particularly cryptography, deals with this issue. Quantum cryptography is arelatively new field ensuring safe communication between the sender and therecipient using the laws of quantum physics. This paper seeks to address theprinciples of the quantum distribution of a key for information encryption andthe fundamental problems arising from the execution.<|endoftext|>Seasonal changes in the diving performance of the bimodally respiring freshwater turtle Rheodytes leukops in a natural setting
The objective of this study was to investigate how seasonally fluctuating environmental conditions influence the diving performance of the highly aquatic, bimodally respiring turtle Rheodytes leukops in a natural setting. Over four consecutive seasons (Austral autumn 2000 to summer 2001), the diving behaviour of adult turtles was recorded via pressure-sensitive time-depth recorders within Marlborough Creek, central Queensland, Australia. Short surfacing inter - vals recorded for R. leukops in winter suggest that the species utilizes aquatic respiration as an overwintering strategy to prevent the development of a metabolic acidosis during the long inactive dives observed during the season. As water temperature increases and aquatic PO2 decreases, R. leukops switches from facultative to obligate air-breathing, presum - ably because of the increased metabolic cost associated with aquatic respiration under summer conditions. Increases in mean surfacing time from winter to spring and summer are attributed to seasonal changes in behaviour possibly associ- ated with foraging rather than to the physiological state of the turtle, given that no difference in median surfacing time among seasons was observed.

The need for supporting dynamic real-time environments where changes in workloads occur frequently requires a scheduling framework that: (1) explicitly addresses overload conditions, (2) allows the system to achieve graceful degradation while guaranteeing the deadlines of the most critical tasks in the system, and (3) supports an efficient runtime selection mechanism capable of determining the load to be shed from the system to handle the overload. In this paper, we propose a novel scheduling framework for a real-time environment that experiences dynamic workload changes. This framework is capable of adjusting the system workload in incremental steps under overloaded conditions such that the most critical tasks in the system are always scheduled and the total value of the system is maximized. Each task has an assigned criticality value and consists of two parts, a mandatory part and an optional part. A timely answer is available after the mandatory part completes execution and its value may be improved by executing the entire optional part. The process of selecting tasks (mandatory or optional parts) to discard while maximizing the value of the system requires the exploration of a potentially large number of combinations. Since an optimal solution is too time-consuming to be computed online, an approximate algorithm is executed incrementally whenever the processor would otherwise be idle, progressively refining the quality of the solution. This scheme allows the scheduler to handle overloads with low cost while maximizing the use of the available resources and without jeopardizing the temporal constraints of the most critical tasks in the system.

of how dealers were supposedly manipulating curators, collectors and art magazines. A few days later, a young dealer, browbeaten by demanding and hard-bargaining clients, gave me an impassioned lecture about how collectors now hold all the cards.
Ask many artists “who has the power?” and you are likely to unleash the most outrageous of conspiracy theories. Some insist that it is a combine of corporate executives, linked by interlocking directorships and museum trusteeships. The advocates of this particular view are likely to see this art world conspiracy as just another tentacle of the mythical worldwide power plot masterminded by David Rockefeller. Other conspiracy theorists see a sinister fraternity of Machiavellian dealers, collectors and ‘in’ artists, scheming to sew up the market.
Although often fueled by emotion and paranoia, these conspiratorial views of the art world are often based on simple observations of everyday occurrences. At almost any exhibition opening, one can see a dealer in animated conversation with a critic or curator and watch the pair leave together for a drink, or one may view the new acquisitions selection of a major museum and see works by all the artists in whom the museum’s major donor has a substantial investment. One might even know for a ‘fact’ that a dealer paid for a feature article on a gallery artist by running a full-page ad in the magazine. Even worse, one might be privy to the open secret that a curator supplements his income by taking commissions from dealers on pictures placed in the private collections of museum trustees. The fact that a dealer and a critic might enjoy each other’s company certainly does not imply corruption, but factored into the worldview of the artist stuck outside the system, it certainly fans the flames of conspiracy.
Unfortunately, it is not difficult to document a certain amount of corruption in the art world. The extreme juxtapositions of wealth and poverty, shrewdness and naïveté sometimes set the stage for critics, curators and others to be seduced into compromising positions. Yet there are few businesses that are as open to public scrutiny as the art business. Deep secrets do exist, but there is not much that can remain hidden for long. It is not at all unusual, for instance, for ‘art people’ to discuss in intimate detail the divorce or financial problems of an artist or dealer whom they have never even met. That kind of gossip is the lifeblood of the art world. Each time a dealer sells a painting it is not unlikely that the other gallery artists, the competing dealers and other collectors who patronize the gallery will know details of the transaction within a week. As anyone who has achieved some prominence in the art field can testify, the art world is a giant goldfish bowl.
In any case, the art world’s tacit acceptance of a discreet level of corruption does not necessarily imply the existence of an evil conspiracy to keep the ‘ins’ in and the ‘outs’ out. Although the adherents of certain aesthetic points of view do manage to clog the art world communication channels from time to time, achieving a virtual monopoly on museums, magazines and prestigious galleries, new opinion groups are continually forming to undermine the grip of those in power. The minimalist-conceptualist axis enjoyed what seemed to approach an international stranglehold on the most prestigious sectors of the younger art world during the early ’70s. The movement achieved an extraordinarily broad consensus, sweeping many of the important channels, from the Stedelijk Museum to alternate spaces like 112 Greene Street. But despite its extraordinary prominence just a few years ago, the movement is now well past its prime and the influence of its leadership has been diluted.
To those looking in from the outside, the minimalist-conceptualist pantheon must have appeared to be a power-hungry cabal, sewing up the art scene in one region after another. Yet for those who were part of the movement, or familiar with its major figures, it was apparent that there was no master plan. There was no committee allocating territory and otherwise dividing up the spoils. The international dominance of minimalism somehow just developed out of a combination of its own energy, and the receptivity of curators and other tastemakers to the advancement of the modernist tradition.
But how? Who had the power to make it happen? Was it the dealers? Was it museum directors like Pontus Hultén and E.L.L. de Wilde or a few influential critics like Germano Celant and Lucy Lippard? Was it a super-collector like Giuseppe Panza di Biumo who assembled the masterpieces of the movement on a scale large enough to support several galleries and numerous artists? The minimalist-conceptualist sweep provides a perfect case to study the question of “who decides?”
The dealers are generally the first people at whom the fingers are pointed. Did Leo Castelli, John Weber, Konrad Fischer, Gian Enzo Sperone and a few others get together to decide on a group of artists who would dominate the emerging scene? Was there a systematic campaign to influence curators, critics and key collectors? The answer is that, of course, those dealers would have loved to watch their artists achieve worldwide influence, and, in fact, most of these dealers did engage in a systematic campaign to sell their point of view to the “tastemakers.” Yet the missing part of the equation is that artists like Sol LeWitt, Carl Andre, Joseph Kosuth and Richard Long already had important followings even before becoming affiliated with those galleries. The dealers performed a crucial role, but not a dominate one. The dealers succeeded, in part, because there was already a groundswell of interest in the art community.
Well, what about the critics? Were they the real instigators? Perhaps, but first of all, the critic needs a publication to write in. So is it then the magazine editors and publishers who exercise the real power? Conceivably, but of course a magazine can’t survive unless the dealers advertise. Does that prove that the dealers do possess the power after all? Not necessarily, because dealers will not advertise unless they feel that enough people are reading the magazine. Well, where does that leave us? Is the art world a true democracy where ‘the people’ decide which art gets shown?
No, the art world has readily identifiable elites that tend to shape the perceptions of the larger art public. It is hardly a democracy, but because those elites are continually shifting it is hardly a dictatorship either. What becomes apparent after following back the chain of “who influenced who?” is that it is usually the artists themselves who originate new directions in taste and opinion, and who ultimately hold the largest share of power.
New directions in art begin with an early consensus among small groups of artists that certain individuals are doing important work. A mutual admiration society between John Q. Artist and his friends would not necessarily lead anywhere. But when a young critic joins the circle and starts talking them up, and when an adventurous collector buys some pieces and starts inviting the artists over for dinner, you have the beginnings of a little clique.
If the members of the group are lively enough, then perhaps the clique will begin taking over a corner table at one of the artists’ bars several nights a week. Perhaps a young dealer will put several members of the clique into a group show which also includes several members of a like-minded clique, giving the groups a public identity for the first time and causing them to merge. With a strong core group of artists who admire each other and think along similar lines, a critic or two to deliver the rap, and with dealers and collectors expressing a tentative interest, this is a force to be reckoned with. It already has power.
These informal cliques that are continually forming, merging, splitting, growing and disappearing are the real key to power in the art world. A clique that becomes a visible presence, no matter what direction it advocates, is surely going to be talked about, even if non-members view it only in negative terms. An individual can be ignored, but an active clique has to be dealt with. People may be dubious of the attention being given to Steve Keister, Nancy Arlen, Taro Suzuki, Tom Rankin and the other New York artists who are beginning to be called Energists, thanks to critic Ronny Cohen, but even the clique’s detractors must admit that Energism is now very much on the map.
An artist who is somehow part of a clique will often introduce his or her friends to a dealer or curator who shows interest in the work and will recommend one of the clique’s critic members to write the catalogue essay or review for his or her first exhibition. Members of cliques often push each other into the limelight. Some of these affinity groups are close to fraternities, with members of the clique visiting each other constantly and sometimes even living in the same building. This type of clique often originated in an art school and began to solidify and attract other adherents as its members moved into the grown-up art world. Early ’70s graduates of the California Institute of the Arts such as David Salle, Matt Mullican and Troy Brauntuch have fallen into a particularly interesting New York clique that is rapidly snowballing into a powerful aesthetic force. Other cliques are much more nebulous, consisting of a vague overlay of friendships and acquaintanceships. Some cliques self-consciously seek to influence the art of their time, while others are less ambitious and are oriented toward the continuation of traditional styles.
One of the important cliques that helped spawn the international minimalist-conceptualist movement emerged with Lucy Lippard and what she has described as the “Bowery Boys,” a group of artists including Sol LeWitt, Robert Ryman and |
to say “No” to distractions.
When I advise businesses about their specific strategy, one of the most important things we discuss is what to say “No” to. Sometimes it’s an existing offering, or even an existing client. Not all business is good business. This readiness to turn down distractions only comes, however, when there is a well-thought-out “Yes!” on the table.
Get your Yes in order – your Yes offering, your Yes clientele, your Yes approach. That will inform your marketing and your messaging – and your “No”!
Have you said “No” to some tempting business opportunity that was likely to be a distraction? What consideration made you actually close the door?

We love to do it as a kick-off event for the summer on a Wednesday night, and we call it “School’s Out Water Night.” The kids always look forward to it and invite their friends to join in on the fun. Before we get into all the fun water activities, I wanted to share a few tips I have learned about setting up for an awesome water event. It’s not as simple as throwing a hose and baby pool outside, and if you don’t prepare with an adequate amount of time you may end up unprepared for the kids when they arrive.
Set-up:
Set-up time and effort will definitely vary depending on what you plan on doing during your event. If you’re renting inflatables, you’ll want to make sure you have the proper amount of hoses and hook-ups needed for the inflatable and any other water activities you have planned. We rented two water inflatables which needed hose hookups, so that meant that we needed one long hose to get from the spigot to the inflatables, two small hoses (one to each inflatable), and two more small hoses for our other activities. We purchased a four-hose splitter from Home Depot for about $15 and it was worth its weight in gold. If you are planning on using baby pools for your games/activities you will want to make sure you have several hours planned for inflating and filling the pools. I would suggest using an automatic air pump or hand pump unless you have lungs of steel for inflating your baby pools. We had four baby pools we were using and it took about two hours to get them inflated and filled for the event.
Many times, a water night means lots of water balloons and water toys. Make sure you have enough large buckets (laundry basket-size) to hold all your water balloons, and smaller buckets for whatever games you have planned. We actually had more water balloons than we had buckets this year. (There’s a first time for everything). We always provide extra towels, sunscreen and cold water bottles for the kids. Make sure you have your towels and sunscreen laid out on a table that is accessible to the kids and leaders, and fill a cooler with ice and water bottles to keep everyone hydrated. Lastly, if you are planning on filling water balloons or making sponge bombs (more on those later), you will want to allow enough time for that. The sponge bombs can be made any time, but you will not want to fill your water balloons until roughly one hour before you plan on using them. This makes sure they don’t pop before the kids get a chance to play with them. You absolutely NEED these Bunch-O-Balloons we bought for this event. Check out the video below. I used to spend hours filling up water balloons, and I was able to fill up 700 water balloons in a matter of minutes. We bought the packages of 100 balloons at Wal-Mart for $7.99.
Water Activities/Games:
Water Inflatables:
We always get a great deal on a couple water inflatable rentals with a local rental company. My suggestion is to find a place that has great selection, prices and customer service, and give them all of your business. The more loyal of a customer you are to them, the better service and discounts you tend to receive in return. Our kids had a blast on these inflatables. They were a great way to start the night off big, and a nice activity in-between games and relay races.
1. Baby Pool Kickball
The kids loved this game so much that we played it a lot longer than the allotted 15 minutes. We bought a giant beach ball from Wal-Mart for $5 that was about 2 1/2 feet tall inflated, and it was (surprisingly) very durable. This game is played just like kickball, but with baby pools filled with water as the bases, and a giant beach ball as the kickball. The great thing about this game is that if you have smaller kids who don’t understand the game they can just hang out in the baby pools and splash around while the older kids play.
2. Water Balloon Baseball
This game is played just like baseball, but with a very wet twist. You will need a big plastic bat and a lot of water balloons for this game. Instead of hitting a baseball, the kids will be trying to hit water balloons. You will use the baby pools for your bases in this game as well. The kids playing outfield will have buckets of water balloons, and will try to hit the person running to the bases with a water balloon to get them out.
3. Water Bomb Dodgeball
Before I explain how this game works, I have to tell you about how awesome sponge bombs are, and how easy they are to make. I found this idea on Pinterest, and all you need is a bunch of colorful kitchen sponges (the ones without the rough side), some scissors and some rubber bands. You simply cut each sponge into three even vertical pieces, gather nine pieces together, and band them together with a rubber band. You will want to make sure the rubber band is very tight so they don’t fall apart when kids are throwing them at each other. Once you have the sponge pieces banded together, just move the pieces around to make them look good. We made about 40 sponge bombs, but I don’t think you can have too many. They hold lots of water, and are re-usable. We decided to play a game of dodgeball using our sponge bombs. It’s just like regular dodgeball, but with the sponge bombs as the balls. The kids also played with these sponge bombs before and after the event. They were a huge hit.
Water Balloon Games:
1. Water Balloon Squat
We had originally planned to play this game with two teams, but had so many kids we decided to make four teams to keep the game moving and exciting. You will need enough buckets of balloons for each team to have a bucket and a hula hoop to place at the end of the course for each team. The kids will race one-by-one down to the bucket, grab a water balloon, run down to the hoop, and sit on the balloon to pop it. The game ends when all the water balloons are popped or when every kid has completed the course. Just a tip, don’t put your hoops on the grass unless you want the balloons to pop on contact. Our game ended up being throw the water balloon in the hoop, but the kids still seemed to love it so that’s all that matters.
2. Water Balloon Head Smash
This relay race is played just like the previous one, but with the kids smashing the water balloons into their heads to break them before running back to their teams. The kids love getting soaked during this game, and it was a lot of fun for all of the leaders and adults to watch.
3. Water Balloon Fight
We ended the water games with a traditional water balloon fight with all the left over water balloons. Nothing beats a good old fashioned water balloon fight!
Food:
Here in Texas, we love our snow cones! What better food is there for a water night in 90 degree temperatures? We bought two2 party packs from our local Bahama Bucks with six flavors for the kids to choose from. It was a great way to end our School’s Out Water Night.
Clean-up Time:
Cleaning up after a water event can be awful. Picking up all 700 balloons off the ground, retrieving all the little water toys and sponge bombs from all over the lawn, and deflating all those baby pools and inflatable toys can take forever. However, it doesn’t have to be so bad. We told all the kids who had not been picked up yet that whoever cleaned up the most trash and toys would receive a prize. It is amazing what the motivation of winning a prize can do. We also left our baby pools with the plugs open outside to deflate overnight. We were all cleaned up and ready to leave about 45 minutes after the event was supposed to end.
We had a blast at this year’s School’s Out Water Night. Here’s the full schedule for the night if you are interested: School’s Out Water Night 2015 Schedule. Does your church do any water events during the summer? I would love to hear what your kids’ favorite water games/activities are.

progeny production in MED. Using simulation modelling, we linked our behavioural observations with exclusion experiments to show that interspecific asymmetric reproductive interference predicts the rate of species exclusion of MED by MEAM1. These findings not only reveal the importance of reproductive interference in the competitive interactions between the two invasive whiteflies as well as the detailed behavioural mechanisms, but also provide a valuable framework against which the effects of other factors mediating species exclusion can be explored.<|endoftext|>Congenital bone marrow failure syndromes
Several human genetic diseases are characterized by bone marrow failure during early development and result in the decreased production of blood cells as well as other constitutional abnormalities (Table I). These conditions have been reviewed in detail recently (Alter & Young, 1998). As many are not yet understood at a molecular level, this review will focus on those inherited conditions in which recent molecular advances have led to insights into either the causative genes or genes involved in the pathogenesis of complications. Bone marrow failure may be evident at birth or in early childhood, and may affect all three myeloid lineages (erythrocytes, granulocytes and platelets), such as in Fanconi anaemia, dyskeratosis congenita and Pearson syndrome. Alternatively, a single lineage may be affected, such as the erythroid series in Diamond±Blackfan anaemia or granulocytes in Kostmann disease. Molecular and biochemical analysis of the involved genes and proteins in these diseases is beginning to provide unique insights into their function during haematopoiesis. The novel lines of investigation that have been stimulated by the study of just a few of these diseases suggest that this group of conditions may provide an extraordinarily rich source of material for the study of the regulation of haematopoiesis.<|endoftext|>Water new, young plants generously when they are struggling to become established in the yard. While they are able to handle some degree of dryness, even long established Black-eyed Susans appreciate regular moisture. If rainfall is sparse for an extended period, run a drip system or sprinkler for 20 to 30 minutes every week or so during the heat of summer. A layer of mulch will help keep the soil moist around their roots.
Maintain consistent blooming by clipping off dead blooms as they appear. This practice, called deadheading, keeps flowering plants looking attractive and encourages replacement blossoms to form. It also discourages the spread of seeds as the flower heads dry out. Delay deadheading if you want to attract birds or use the dried flower ‘eyes’ for indoor flower arrangements. Eventually, in the fall when flowering is finished the stems will dry out. Cut them back to the soil level for the winter.
By mid-summer when large clumps of black-eyed Susans reach their maximum height and begin to bloom, they may need support. Use thick green bamboo sticks and string, or commercial wire plant supports to keep the stems upright. The larger the clump, the sturdier the support needed to prevent the plants' collapse in heavy rain or wind. Every 3 or 4 years plant clumps will become unmanageably large and should be divided.<|endoftext|>Crystalline Ice: Not all bad!
Single particle sample preparation for Cryo-EM relies heavily on having the particles embedded in a thin amorphous ice layer. The most popular method to achieve this is to plunge the sample grid topped with a thin layer of sample solution into liquid ethane that is close to its freezing point (-180° C) to rapidly cool down and freeze the sample solution. Even though this method is reliable in producing vitreous ice on sample grids, there are often also local areas on the grid where crystalline ice has formed. In general practice 10-20% of images in a dataset contain crystalline ice to a certain extent. Conventionally, micrographs containing these areas with crystalline ice are often sorted out of the dataset, because of concerns regarding a negative impact towards protein particles and disrupting the data processing in the CTF estimation and refinement steps. In the present study we compared reconstructions from the particles extracted from micrographs containing crystalline ice and vitreous ice respectively. We further analyzed micrograph CTF fittings, ratio of well-defined particles, and image drifts for sets of micrographs with crystalline ice versus vitreous ice. We show that a moderate amount of crystalline ice in micrographs has no negative impact on the quality of the reconstruction for an Apoferritin sample dataset at sub 3 Å resolution. Our findings have shown that crystalline ice could be beneficial in suppressing drift particularly during the initial few frames of the exposure. collected on Glacios equipped with the K2 Summit direct detector at nominal pixelsize of The following were performed:<|endoftext|>...

We analyzed the histone mRNA population found in several adult tissues of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus and in testis of Lytechinus pictus. Unique species of H1 and H2b mRNAs encoding the sperm-specific histone subtypes can be found exclusively in testis RNA. S. purpuratus contains two distinct testis-specific H1 transcripts, while L. pictus contains one such transcript. Each of these mRNAs is larger than either early or late embryonic H1 mRNAs. Other somatic adult tissues contain transcripts derived from members of the late embryonic H1 histone gene family. S. purpuratus contains one H2b transcript found exclusively in testis, while L. pictus contains two such H2b mRNAs. Similarly, in tissues other than testis, late H2b transcripts were found. While there is no sperm-specific H2a protein, a limited set of late histone H2a genes encoding primarily the H2a-beta subtype is expressed in testis. The majority of the H2a protein found in diploid adult tissues is also the H2a-beta subtype; however, the size of the H2a transcripts differs between testis and other tissues. We conclude that different members of the late H2a gene family are differentially expressed in embryos and adult tissues. We prepared and characterized cDNA clones encoding the sperm-specific H2b protein as well as the H2a-beta protein found in testis.<|endoftext|>Leading a Quiet Revolution: Women High School Principals in Traditional Arab Society in Israel
This article investigates why very few Arab women persevere to become principals in Arab high schools in Israel. It identifies these trailblazers’ distinguishing characteristics through the narratives of two Arab women, high school principals, tracing their transition from teaching to management, describing the intertwining of their personal and professional lives, examining their career choices from a gender perspective, and noting the changes they have implemented within Arab high schools in Israel. Research indicates that Arab society still views school principalship as a male role and that women face political and social resistance to attain this role.<|endoftext|>Thermogelling poly(ethylene oxide-b-propylene oxide-b-ethylene oxide) disulfide multiblock copolymer as a thiol-sensitive degradable polymer.
We report a reverse thermogelling poly(ethylene oxide-b-propylene oxide-b-ethylene oxide) disulfide multiblock copolymer as a thiol-sensitive biodegradable polymer. The poly(ethylene oxide-b-propylene oxide-b-ethylene oxide) aqueous solutions studied in this research underwent sol-gel-sol or sol-gel-sol-gel transition depending on the molecular weight and concentration of the polymer, whereas the corresponding disulfide multiblock copolymer aqueous solutions underwent sol-gel transition as the temperature increased in a range of 0-60 degrees C. The hydrophobic dye solubilization and dynamic light scattering of the polymer aqueous solution suggest that the poly(ethylene oxide-b-propylene oxide-b-ethylene oxide)s undergo unimer (3 nm) to micelle (12 nm) transition, whereas the disulfide multiblock copolymers undergo unimer (6 nm) to aggregated polymer (600 nm) transition as the temperature increases. The gel duration increased from 6 h (poly(ethylene oxide-b-propylene oxide-b-ethylene oxide)) to more than 12 days (the corresponding disulfide multiblock copolymer) in phosphate buffer saline, and the gel duration of the latter depended on the glutathione concentration of the medium. The model drug, paclitaxel, was released from the in-situ-formed poly(ethylene oxide-b-propylene oxide-b-ethylene oxide) disulfide multiblock copolymer gel in a glutathione concentration-sensitive manner.<|endoftext|>Will you Sacrifice your Principles for the Pied Piper of Unethical Acts?
There is no wonder my whistleblowing case is known as “South Africa’s Enron“. There are significant and identifiable parallels.
In this blog I want to focus on the the attempt by the joint CEOs of the organisation I blew the whistle on, to persuade the Chairman of the Audit committee, a Board Director, to have Deloitte, our external auditors at the time, to take an additional seat at the Board, that of heading up the Internal Audit department. There appears to have been no acknowledgement by the CEOs for the potential of conflicts of interest or rhetoric about ‘segregation of duties’.
Here is a copy from the Cape High Court trial transcript where the Chairman of the Audit Committee shared how Deloitte had attempted to persuade him, citing that Enron had Arthur Anderson as internal and external auditors. The timing of that discussion would have been early in the year 2000. We all know how that worked out for Enron and for Arthur Anderson!

All I could think of was sour/bitter and...nothing else. But the results were very surprising and tasty!
It turns out that vinegar pie is one of many pioneer recipes that was normally made when there was no more fruit. All the dried fruit and preserves had been consumed and no new fruit had ripened on tress yet. I found it mentioned in the Little House On The Prairie series of books.
What's fun is to make it for guests and call it a "fruit pie" without being specific. Then when all is eaten, ask them what fruit was in the pie. You will get puzzled looks and good guesses. And then surprised looks when they find out there is no fruit in the pie at all!
The only issue I have with the pie is that it has no form. It's sort of flat and thin. I guess because there is no fruit, the pie doesn't look to have much substance. I'd like to try it again and double the recipe. I think that would help.
The recipe I used was pretty good. However, the way it was all put together wasn't the best. It's a simple recipe and I found the explanations a little overdone.<|endoftext|>By Todd Palmatier
The winter season has officially come to a close at ECS with only the ECS Sports Boosters Winter Sports Banquet to be held next week March 11 at ECS. The Sports boosters will be having a 50/50 drawing and will be giving away door prizes that have been graciously donated by our local businesses.
Ellicottville senior Courtney Scanlon completed her final year of bowling for ECS by competing in the state meet in West Babylon, N.Y., this past weekend. The Section 6 bowling team came home with a second place finish. Courtney was the first ever ECS bowler to compete in the state meet and finished third among the Section 6 bowlers and 11th overall. She had a 234 high game, a 191.6 average and six-game series of 1,150. She was also voted to the Section 6 sportsmanship award while at states by her peers. This season was a sendoff for Courtney, who has finished another sports career at ECS. ECS Coach Sandy Olson is calling it a career at ECS as the bowling coach as well.
The ECS Alpine Ski team completed its season last week as well at states, and Coach Kelly Fredrickson stated that the team is growing and is expecting great things to come with more skiers taking to the slopes in the future. For the girls at states, Shelby Toth finished 56th out of 111 skiers and received a section 6 sportsmanship award for her dedication to her sport. In boys, skiing Alex Paddock finished 49th and 50th, respectively, in the slalom and giant slalom events. Alex was also awarded the section 6 sportsmanship award.
Spring sports have already kicked off at ECS. Both baseball and softball have begun practice at ECS. The boys’ baseball team is led by Varsity Coach Chris Mendell, JV Coach Rob Sawicki and Modified Coach Nick Smith, while girls’ softball is led by Varsity Coach Matt Finn, JV Coach Dave McCann and Modified Coach Tammy Eddy. The varsity golf team is in full swing, as well, under the direction of Coach Daniel LaCroix.
In youth basketball, the grade 5-6 boys’ team is off to the Archbishop Walsh tournament this weekend. The team will be represented by Braedyn Palmatier, Wyatt Chudy, Clayton Rowland, Hayden Rust, Leif Jimmerson and Blaise Konarski. Good luck, boys!

As previously reported here, the East London Line extension's Shoreditch High Street station is to be enclosed on all sides by a massive windowless concrete box (i.e. walls and a roof). The primary aim of this is to protect the line so that it can stay open during the construction of skyscrapers alongside it.
Until now there was no sign of it, but this week they started erecting posts to support the structure:
It really is that big compared to the poxy humans.
Thanks to Antonio for the photo. Here's a panorama of the whole of Bishopsgate Goods Yard, using pictures taken by him today from the Tea Building on the north side of the site (click to enlarge):
The box will stretch at full height for the length of the platforms (which corresponds to the finished section of viaduct), and at a lower height all the way to Brick Lane on the left and Shoreditch High Street on the right (a map of Shoreditch, if you're lost).

Looking at the panoramic photo - is that the famous Braithwaite viaduct covereed in grass in the background? Anyone know how that fits in with the proposed development of the goodsyard site?
The Braithwaite Viaduct is on the left where the bushes come much closer to the ELL viaduct. Everything else is for the chop, possibly during a closure this Christmas.
what does "protect the railway from skyscrapers" mean? i don't get it. sorry
Sorry - I've reworded it slighly now. It's so that they don't have to close the line during construction of them.
Skyscrapers in Shoreditch - the coming Manhattan in the east.
"When will you pay me?" say the bells of Old Bailey,
"When I grow rich", say the bells of Shoreditch,
That couplet from the children's nursery rhyme seems strangely appropriate.
Does "everything else for the chop" extend to the remaining sections of the the Broad Street vaiduct?
Most of the Broad Street Viaduct south of what's being used for the ELL is already gone. Everything south of Worship Street has been gone for years, and a big section north of Worship Street was demolished in the last few months.
That leaves only the short chunk between Holywell Lane and Great Eastern Street where those tube carriages are parked. There might still be a short chunk left on the south side of GE street - not sure.<|endoftext|>My wife,
That's awesome. I really, really need to feel like I'm making progress in some active way, so it helps a lot that I can do that.
Of course, those mental blocks and hangups that I mentioned get in my way. Often.
I started off with a sort of wizard-slash-academic self-image. I wanted to be that about as long ago as I can remember. And you know, I did it. Computer programming, deep mathematical geekery, intuitive juggling of bizarre concepts and lateral thinking... I'm not the best on every sub-topic, but I did a pretty damn fine job, as such things go. I got very good at it, and remain that way.
Only it turns out that that's not enough to get most things done. Damn it.
So I went out and wrote something that a few people used, and that taught me a lot about making things usable. There were some pretty serious mental blocks in my way, because I thought of myself as a Guy Who Does Deep Magic, and it turns out that Deep Magic mostly sucks for letting people get things done easily. Who knew?
I got better at making that project better for users. I improved it and myself in parallel for a few years, and then realized that what I wanted to build was never going to be terribly successful. It took me another year or two to pass the project on, put it in mothballs and generally go on with my life. Sunk costs are a bitch -- that's not just my mental block, it's most people's. But I certainly share it.
And I went out and learned how to build web sites. I've always avoided that as something that Less Talented People Did, which is mostly statistically true, alas. Stubborn biases are always harder to get past when the real world provides tempting-looking corroboration. But realistically, if I want to change the world, I need people to be able to use the things I build. And for a long time to come, that means being able to build a web site.
I turned out to be good at it. Oh, good. My profession believes that dinosaurs my age can't learn a whole new set of technologies. And to be fair, it took me several years to do it. But it came out all right.
And in doing that, I realized that I'm in a surprisingly good position to change the world. I've got a place to stand. I've been building levers.
Unfortunately, while I believed in myself as a Guy Who Does Deep Magic, I'm kind of afraid of being a Guy Who Moves The World Just a Little. What if I do it wrong?
But it turns out, all kinds of things move the world a little. Almost everything, really. And as I realized that, I started to become kind of paralyzed.
I keep learning these things that will let me go out and try to move the world. And |

Prime Dry Aged Fish will allow you to taste the fish in its purest form. Breaking down tissues and sugars allows new flavors and textures that bring the fish to its cleanest, most tender form. Age = Flavour.
Waitress didn’t know anything about the drink list or food and I am the type of person to try things that the staff recommends. Disappointing and not worth $200 in my opinion.
Great Atmosphere, very good sushi, fun place to go out and have dinner, will be here again fir sure!
The food was fantastic — highly recommend the dumplings and lomo. I’m not a big sushi person but the roll my boyfriend got was delicious as well. Our server, Grace, was so personable and tied together the experience. Will add this place to our regular rotation.
Wonderful food, patio seating and excellent service. Option for vegetarians were delicious as were the fish options!
We sat outside in frigid weather. It wasn’t windy so the new overhead heaters were perfect. I should have brought a lap blanket & my legs would have been warm too.
The service was excellent. Great food suggestions from the server.
Note to self- it’s hard to keep food even slightly warm in that kind of cold. I need to order accordingly.
Amazing food at an amazing value during happy hour. We LOVE coming here! I do wish the music was a bit lower though.
We had a wonderful dinner for my teen son's birthday.
Our host was super knowledgeable and helped us try different and interesting plates.
Loved it here. Such a cute and fun venue, food was incredible. Waitress was great—service was perfect!
We loved the small plates and drinks, just wouldn’t go for their sushi rolls again. Amazing atmosphere!!
We enjoy Lucky Robot for good patio seating and a view of the Soco crowd strolling by. As Vegans, my husband and I love the veggiepilar "sushi-less" roll. The spicy edamame and Brussels sprouts are must appetizers to order. The service is superb. The outdoor music tends to be a bit loud, but we were able to hear ourselves talk.
amazing atmosphere and fantastic food!!! The service is also the best!
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. Had a reservation, but a few members of the party were running late due to work, and they were very accommodating and helpful. The food was EXCELLENT! Definitely will be back!

5 stars! Can’t wait to go back! The options for happy hour were great!
Their seasonal options, and the value and price of their happy hour menu is truly phenomenal, like their 3 dollar pork belly nigiri. The ambiance of the cherry blossoms and paper cranes are phenomenal.
A bit cold at first, but the ac was adjusted. Wonderful place and food.
I love coming to Lucky Robot! They have a lot of menu options ranging in price and I’ve never been disappointed. Their seating is pretty limited so it is better to reserve in advance.
I always comes for the vegan sushi and sake flights. I love getting suggestions from the staff and trying new things. I’ve always had excellent experiences here and love this establishment. Would recommend for dates, or “treat yo self” dining.
Great vibe, great food, reasonably priced. Beer, wine, and sake only- no liquor.
Get the spider roll, it’s AMAZING!! All of the food was great. It was pretty chilly inside but other than that this might become one of our regular date night spots!
Lots of vegan options. Had to send back one dish - which was the rice dish in the hot main entrees. But other than that one - the rest of the food was great! Service was great too.
Really great, fresh sushi as always. Many tasty creative rolls.
The ambiance here was great! The food was so flavorful and the service was amazing. Our server had lots of great recommendations.

We came during happy hour and we’re seated quickly. Server Blake and rest of Staff were very friendly. Blake was so knowledgeable about the menu and he helped us out all throughout our great dining experience. He anticipated all our needs and was very attentive. All his suggested dish were delicious most especially the Wagyu Beef on a hot rock, Pork Belly, and both suggested desserts were great. We enjoyed it very much that we went back next day and ordered some to go. They treat you like a family and such good atmosphere makes us feel like coming back again and again. Thank you Stephanie, Anastacio and rest of employees. We will see y’all soon.
We had a great time. Our server was amazing at accommodating some diet restrictions and was super helpful. Great experience!
Menu is hit or miss, but nothing we tried was bad and much of it was well above average.
Hidden gem on South Congress serving world-class sushi. Highlights on the night we dined were the big eye fatty tuna market special, tako, unagi and uni. All very fresh and delightful!

No matter the ingredients, one that cannot be substituted is the cinnamon. The heady aroma of the oil in the bark draws a crowd with it’s exotic perfume.

With the intention and inspiration of resiliency, we dove deep into topics like generational trauma, tools for organizational resiliency, the voluntary services model for vulnerable youth who experience trafficking, how to have hard conversations in a supervisor role, and DEI visions for an Oregon that fights oppression and racial disparities.
The total number of attendees was an impressive 160, totaling 240 hours of training provided. Total CEU certificates was 52 totaling 78 hours of training provided. We also had stellar feedback! Of those whom took the poll, the feedback from the poll was at 98% extremely and very satisfied with 100% saying yes they’d recommend the summit. Thanks to so many who made it possible. We are grateful.
Our esteemed presenters took us to the depths of subject matter more than we have ever imagined. Each presenter brought forth an expertise and fortitude that lived up to our Summit theme of resiliency. Implementing real change means creating a sense of community which can be challenging in a virtual format. But our presenters shone through, sharing their wisdom shared with the community.
Our generous sponsors made this event possible. The sponsor list includes: Oregon Department of Human Services, Stoel Rives, Comagine, Cascadia, Care Oregon, Bridgeway Recovery Services, JD Fulwiler & Company Insurance, Oregon Health Authority, GOBHI, 501(c) Agencies Trust, and Allcare Health.

Waterjet cutting is a process that produces shapes by cutting sheet material using a thin, high pressure stream of water containing abrasive particles called garnet.
Whether you need a single part, batch of prototypes, or full production order, eMachineShop will turn your design into fully machined, end-use parts!
- 50+ Materials.
- FREE Shipping in the USA.
- 100% Quality Guaranteed.
Waterjet cuttingis an economical way to cut 2D shapes in a very wide range of materials with no tooling costs.
The unique process provides reasonably good edge quality, no burrs and usually eliminates the need for secondary finishing processes.
Creating custom part this way can cut single or multi-layer materials from as thin as .001″ (.025mm) to as thick as several inches. The process yields no poisonous gas when cutting plastics or rubber.
Waterjets also generate no heat so the material edge is unaffected and there is no distortion.
Advantages
- Can cut parts of almost any 2D shape
- Cost-effective for prototyping and short runs
- No set up or tooling costs
- Cuts most types of sheet material except some types of glass and wood
Design Tips
- Compensate for edges that are not as smooth and straight as milling or punching
- Small parts should be tabbed so they are not lost in the water tank
- Some cleanup may be needed to remove surface rust
- Inside corners will be rounded to a .03″ (0.76mm) radius
Examples of parts that are often cut using Waterjet include:
Waterjet Cutting Materials: A thin stream of high pressure water without any garnet can be used to cut foods cleanly.
- Electrical Transmission Lines: This very versatile metal can be drawn into thin wires which are often used in products such as light bulbs and telephone wires. Most of the high voltage overhead transmission and distribution lines over long distances are also made of aluminum.<|endoftext|>Events

We found that a forum was worked better. The wiki is good in that every one can change it, but without specifically looking for something, you can't always find the "why" of a documented decision. With a forum, you get the history (and discussion) right in there.
Either way, wiki or forum or both, the key is creating a system where ideas and documentation can be kept evergreen and where other people can |

than that?” Benji finally said no, and his father said, “Who’s going to protect you if you don’t do it? Me? Your mother? The world’s not going to protect you. That’s what I’m trying to teach you.” It’s a powerful scene: a father, simultaneously protective and abusive, wise and fearful, and a son, embarrassed and emboldened, trying to make room for the disturbing lesson in his life.
But Benji the adult, a person whose experience extends beyond the narrative, is not resentful. He reflects on what it means to be the bearer of a standard and to be devoted to the focused passion:
“My father had his own laws, a precise concept of fire formation honed over the years. To people like you and me, a briquette is a briquette. Not to him. He seemed to analyze each coal individually, taking measure of its strengths, deficits, secret potential. The diamond in the darkness. He knew where they needed to go, recognizing the uniqueness of each cube and determining where it fit with the rest of the team. He assembled the pyramid meticulously, perceiving the invisible—the crooked corridors of ventilation between the briquettes, the heat traps and inevitable vectors of released energy, any potential irregularity that might undermine the project. The sublime interconnectedness of it all. He asserted order. Built his fire.”
