Don't be surprised to see Baltimore looking at quarterbacks, as the team has the awful Ryan Mallett as its current backup.Kenneth Dixon had surgery to repair a torn meniscus and will miss the entire season. The Ravens will look to bring someone in to compete with Terrance West for work, but Danny Woodhead's usage should be great if he can stay healthy. West, is likely going to be the lead back, but it's worth seeing who they bring in before going all-in on the average back.Jordan Reed has a toe sprain and will start training camp on the active/PUP list. It appears to a minor problem that should resolve itself quickly, but the coaching staff will likely baby him due to his injury history. It is a stark reminder that Reed is dinged up often.Cam Newton isn't a full-go yet, but he went through team drills and was throwing the ball well, according to onlookers. It's good to see him participating, and it looks like he won't have many limitations to start camp. He's also lost a few pounds; whereas he had been playing around 260 pounds, he is now closer to his listed weight of 246. That's still huge for a quarterback and should allow him to absorb more hits than your average signal-caller, but also make him a bit quicker. Newton really is set up for a bounce-back season, but I don't think he'll ever return to his MVP numbers from 2015.Trevor Siemian will start out taking reps with the first team, but then rotate with Paxton Lynch. Lynch made a push at the end of the offseason program, but Siemian has remained the more consistent passer so far in practices. Lynch has a shot if he can put together a strong stretch this training camp, but Siemian is in the lead. Neither have much fantasy upside, but they do have a soft schedule and could be useful in 2QB leagues.Jamaal Charles has been cleared for training camp. He will likely be eased in, but as long as he doesn't have any setbacks, he should be able to make the team. There's a real chance that even if he's healthy, Charles could be more of a third-down back to save wear and tear on his knee.
For this one, it is only the ecchiness and source material, therefore there was nothing for me to expect.You should watch it to make yourself an opinion, perhaps am I only gone rabid on this anime, I watched it in a while and after remomerizing this is what I remember.Thanks for reading this review and have a nice day.
NEW DELHI/BENGALURU: Indian information technology employees want the government to step in and make it easier for them to leave their jobs, at a time when they face the prospect of poor salary increases and slower job growth.Over 28,000 professionals have signed an online petition asking the ministry of labour to stop IT companies from holding workers to a three-month non-negotiable notice period.“It is unrealistic for anyone to plan that far ahead for their future actions and resign in advance not knowing state of the issue in next three months,” the petition said. IT employees say the petition is gathering support across WhatsApp groups and other messaging platforms. Accenture and IBM have three-month notice periods.The problem for the 3.9 million Indian IT employees is one of job mobility. “Three-month notice is clear exploitation,” said an employee at an Indian IT company, who did not want to be identified.“The IT companies try to stop employees for three months, but the next company is not ready to wait for three months. So mostly people go jobless for a couple of months and then look for a new post,” he said.For IT employees — expected to receive low single-digit wage increases for the next financial year — the situation is onerous.Tech Mahindra has suspended the salary revision process for employees with more than six years of experience, pending a management review. National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) has also postponed setting a target for industry growth until May as the industry battles slowing growth and regulatory hurdles in the US, its largest market.Human resource experts said the three-month notice period is being used as a tool by IT companies to combat high attrition rates. While these rates vary, most Indian IT firms face attrition rates of between 13% and 20%, according to industry estimates.The extended notice period acts like a hidden retention policy forcing employees to think twice about leaving, while making it hard for a prospective employer to wait that long.
Et si les raisons que j’ai alléguées ne semblent assez fortes, je produirai, pour mes garants et défenseurs, les anciens auteurs romains, poètes principalement, et orateurs, lesquels (combien que Cicéron ait traduit quelques livres de Xénophon et d’Arate, et qu’Horace baille les préceptes de bien traduire) ont vaqué à cette partie plus pour leur étude, et profit particulier, que pour le publier à l’amplification de leur langue, à leur gloire et commodité d’autrui. Si aucuns ont vu quelques oeuvres de ce temps-là, sous titre de traduction, j’entends de Cicéron, de Virgile, et de ce bienheureux siècle d’Auguste, ils ne pourront démentir ce que je dis.
"They can't be the only ones to blame. I have studied their lives, their school of Islam and I thought hard about the war in Chechnya. "If they were attacked by Russian troops, they were fighting to be free. And then they would want revenge on Russia - after all Russia had been killing their children too," he said. Since the attack each of the children has in their own way tried to overcome its legacy and focus on the future. "I am going to be a doctor. I will have my own clinic where I will treat future victims of terrorism," Laima told me. But Chermen has even loftier plans, born out of the sense of destiny his close brush with death has engendered. "I will grow up to become the president. It's not a question whether I will or not. It is just a question when," he said.
This will trigger demand for cars,” he told ET.Whether the popularity of Uber and Ola impacts car sales for personal use in the future or not, right now soaring demand from aggregators is a boon for an industry that has been otherwise struggling to grow sales due to a number of reasons, including an eight-month ban on sales of larger diesel vehicles in the National Capital Region, imposition of infrastructure cess of up to 4 per cent in the union budget last year, and most recently on account of weak consumer sentiment post the November 8 demonetisation announcement.“Growth was stunted by diesel ban and demonetisation, which impacted the sentiment in 2016 and given the tough times, the fleet segment turned out to be a significant contributor,” said Rakesh Srivastava, senior vice-president, sales and marketing, Hyundai Motor India.Calling app-based cab aggregators “the new shooting star for the Indian passenger vehicle makers”, Srivastava said they will continue to drive demand and compel carmakers to make products designed for them. Fleet segment is expected to contribute to about 15 per cent of the passenger vehicle market, up from the current 5-6 per cent. Approximately 600,000 cars are now operating in the app-based cab segment, according to industry estimates. With both Ola and Uber planning to penetrate more cities and towns across the country, the segment is set for exponential growth.Ola has already announced its ambition of having a fleet of 5 million while Uber plans to lease 200,000 cars to drivers joining its platform over the next two years.Most carmakers have set up dedicated teams to support fleet services with special pricing, service plans and customisation to meet the specific requirements of such companies. Mahindra and Mahindra has put in place a dedicated team to handle fleet and new-age business under its institutional sales arm. It offers product , finance, insurance, exchange and service under the One Mahindra umbrella. Veejay Ram Nakra, senior vice-president for sales and customer service at its automotive division, said the fleet segment accounts for a significant share of its passenger car sales and the company is looking to increase penetration in this segment in the near future.Mahindra has already tied up with Ola to deliver more than 40,000 cars in two years. Its rival Tata Motors has tied up with Uber to deliver 20,000 cars.

While the ECB is right in saying that it is not running out of ammunition – in purely technical terms the recent debate about “helicopter money” suggests as much – it is on shakier ground arguing that policy has worked as intended.... For example, ultra-cheap loans are providing life support for companies which would not be viable under more normal conditions. This has lead to over-capacity – not to mention disinflation – across many industries in Europe, with revenues falling compared with assets. Last year 40 per cent of companies had no top-line growth. It is ironic therefore that many think productivity can be kick-started via even lower rates. Another clear negative is that savers have no income certainty over the longer-term, given that it has become virtually impossible to achieve real returns on interest bearing assets. Moreover, survey evidence suggests that consumer thinking has been seriously shocked by negative rates. Rather than rejoicing at free money, most see the move as a sign of distress rates – soggy spending data would support this view. Germans, meanwhile, think the central bank is encouraging indebtedness and profligacy instead of thrift and stability. Indeed, more institutions are beginning to voice their concerns. At its annual press conference, Bafin, Germany’s financial watchdog, warned that low interest rates were a “seeping poison” for financial institutions dependent on interest rates and is concerned some pensions funds might fail to provide guaranteed benefits. BaFin reckons about half of Germany’s banks have a heightened exposure to interest changes and may therefore have to hold more capital. Bundesbank board member Andreas Dombret warned that banks may have to increase charges to their clients. Yet another place to look if you question ECB policy is Japan. Its central bank introduced negative interest rates in January and they have been poorly received by financial institutions as well as households and corporations. This has been attributed to the surplus in Japan’s private sector and the preference among households for deposits, bonds and principal-guaranteed products. An increase in projected benefit obligations (PBO) due to the decline in the discount rate also hasn’t helped. The negative impact on Japanese financial institutions is clearer still, in the form of higher holding costs on their central bank current account deposits, narrower lending margins and constraints on credit creation. Ominously for Europe, these repercussions are the result of the simultaneous implementation of quantitative easing and negative rates.
The Pyramid of Convenience Being driven in a private-for-hire vehicle from your location to your destination is the most convenient and, likely, pleasant way to travel in the city. As such it’s quite expensive. To take a taxi or a Lyft from inner SE Portland (4 miles out) to downtown will cost upwards of $12 to $15 each way. A two way trip for a dinner and a movie will cost a single traveller $30 in transportation. Additional travelers add to the economy, however, and taking a friend along doesn’t double the charge. Nevertheless, the cost is rather high and reflects the convenience. The second most convenient (and therefore valuable) mode is driving yourself or being driven with a friend and parking on street near your destination. The same 4 mile round trip will cost roughly $1.16 cents in vehicle wear, gas, etc. Street parking in downtown Portland for a 3 hour stay will range anywhere from $0.00 (after 7PM) to $4.80. Additional passengers add negligible cost. A couple going on a date from 6-9PM will spend ~$5.96 on transportation. Slightly less convenient is driving yourself and parking in a city operated Smart Park. You may spend a little less time driving around, but you will have to travel farther to your destination. Things get a little interesting here, however, because Smart Park charges 24 hours, with a maximum $5 rate for nights and weekends. The same person or couple mentioned above will pay $5 for a 3 hour trip, regardless of whether it is during meter enforcement. Total cost ~$6.16, twenty cents more than a three hour stay at a parking meter before 7. Public transportation is next on our list. It has its benefits, no concerns about driving drunk, you can, legally, read or text en route, you don’t have to look for parking. But you need to walk to the transit center or bus stop. You need to allow extra time for catching the line and for possible delays. You have to share space with other people and potentially stand. You will probably have to walk to your destination and all the same things apply to your return trip (assuming TriMet is still operating that late). Bus schedules are rarely aligned with social schedules, so you will likely have to arrive early or arrive late and you may spend some time waiting for a transfer. TriMet fees are charged at all hours of the day.
"To fully define Theosophy, we must consider it under all its aspects. The interior world has not been hidden from all by impenetrable darkness. By that higher intuition acquired by– or God-knowledge, which carried the mind from the world of form into that of formless spirit, man has been sometimes enabled in every age and every country to perceive things in the interior or invisible world. Hence, the "," orof the Hindu ascetics; the "Daimonion-photi," or spiritual illumination of the Neo-Platonists; the "sidereal confabulation of soul," of the Rosicrucians or Fire-philosophers; and, even the ecstatic trance of mystics and of the modern mesmerists and spiritualists, are identical in nature, though various as to manifestation.The search after man's diviner "self," so often and so erroneously interpreted as individual communion with a personal God, was the object of every mystic, and belief in its possibility seems to have been coeval with the genesis of humanity, each people giving it another name. Thus Plato and Plotinus call "Noetic work" that which the Yogin and the Shrotriya term"By reflection, self-knowledge and intellectual discipline, the soul can be raised to the vision of eternal truth, goodness, and beauty – that is, to the– this is the," said the Greeks. "To unite one's soul to the Universal Soul," says Porphyry, "requires but a perfectly pure mind. Through self-contemplation, perfect chastity, and purity of body, we may approach nearer to It, and receive, in that state, true knowledge and wonderful insight." And Swami DayanandSaraswati, who has read neither Porphyry nor other Greek authors, but who is a thorough Vedic scholar, says in his. 9) – "To obtain Diksh (highest initiation) andone has to practise according to the rules . . .

Before that, Trudeau aired to great reviews on CBC in 2002 but the public broadcaster could not be blamed for the 2010 dud, Brian Mulroney: The Opera. There are not enough Canadian political heroes of any stripe and they should be celebrated, again, regardless of political persuasion. But when arts and politics collide, both suffer.

2. We are extremely discerning. When we do spend, we want it to be on something good. Canadians have been relatively slow to embrace e-commerce, because we are still “touch and feel” shoppers. What’s more, says Stephens, “Canadians have a more sophisticated sense of style than shoppers do in the U.S. There’s a general willingness and history here of looking beyond our boundaries.” The comparative success of premium high street brands here such as Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn and JCrew, each of which took baby steps here in their expansion, shows that we will pay more for brands that deliver. “I don’t see our kicking Target to the curb as us turning our back on style,” says Stephens. “If anything, it’s that they underestimated our style-savviness by giving us nothing more than Zellers.” 3. If we’re not urban, we’re rural. Aside from the small rings around Toronto, Montreal, maybe Ottawa and Vancouver, there are no commuters in ex-urban “bedroom communities” underserviced when it comes to bricks-and-mortar stores. In fact, compared to the widespread population in America or Europe, across most of our vast acreage, there’s hardly a living soul. And for the few intrepid folks out there in the wilderness, there is something known as the Internet. 4. We are distrustful of hype. There is nothing that irks us more than the self-assured pomposity of anyone or anything that loudly blows it is own horn. Proclaim your greatness and our first reaction will be immediately dislike, whether or not it’s deserved. It’s not very nice to our own winning propositions to hate them for being grand, but we do, right off the bat. And then, if we do finally break down under the pressure of all that hype and check you out — God forbid you don’t deliver. For ultimately nothing bonds us together so closely as a nation than our utter dismissal of — and disdain for — anything that turns out to be just a lot of hooey.

Despite the $350 million ad campaign for the 2010 Census urging individuals to 'tell your story,' many -- particularly minorities and illegal immigrants who are traditionally believed the be the most under counted -- will be non-compliant because of fears, some of which are over-hyped, that the information provided can reportedly be used against them.Those fears are not completely unfounded. Widespread non-compliance, particularly among those most likely to be discriminated against by a majority, may not be strictly rooted in the 'ignorance' the ads are designed to overcome.The most recent example of the U.S. government breaching census trust occurred in 2002 and 2003, when the Census Bureau handed over information that had been collected about Arab-Americans to Homeland Security.In 1943, data from the 1940 Census was turned over to the War Department and used to intern Japanese , Italian and German Americans once the U.S. became involved in World War II. The Census data was used to monitor and persecute others who escaped internment.An unspecified threat against President Franklin Roosevelt in 1943 resulted in the Census Bureau releasing the name, address, age, sex, citizenship status and occupation of Japanese Americans in the Washington D.C. area to the Treasury Department.The full scope of personal information released during World War II only recently came to light. As noted by the Independent Institute, there may well be other instances of such data sharing of which we remain unaware.The Census Bureau assures us that 'your confidentiality is protected' because Title 13 requires the Census Bureau to keep all information about you and all other respondents strictly confidential.' Those assurances are relatively useless.The release of the 'strictly confidential' data was also perfectly legal during World War II under the terms of the Second War Powers Act of 1942 and would be legal -- depending on your definition of legal - under the USA PATRIOT Act that was recently, and quietly, extended by the Obama administration. According to the Independent Institute, 140,000 workers were hired to collect GPS readings for every front door in the nation in preparation for this year's Census. That type of pinpoint precision certainly simplifies locating any individual or group that may be identified as a threat to 'national security' in the future.Sound far fetched? It's not. There was a 1976 Senate Report which slated 26,000 Americans for being rounded up by the FBI in the event of a national emergency at the height of the cold war.
Prior to MinION library preparation, amplicons were pooled in equimolar amounts. The amplicon pool was end-repaired using the NEBNext End Repair Module (NEB, Ipswich, MA, USA), followed by Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman Coulter GmbH, Krefeld, Germany) purification and dA-tailing for 10 min at 37 °C using NEBNextdA-Tailing Module. dA-tailed DNA was purified as described above. The dA-tailed DNA was further processed using the SQK-MAP006 sequencing kit (Oxford Nanopore) following manufacturer’s instructions. Finally 150–195 ng of the pre-sequencing mix were loaded into the flow cells (N = 2). The 48 h sequencing protocol was chosen. The sequencing protocol was run for 2 h (MinKNOWTM software 0.50.2). Base calling was performed using the MetrichorTM Agent (Oxford Nanopore). Metrichor produces the fast5 file format containing fastq files, which were extracted using poRe.24 Oxford Nanopore raw reads have been uploaded to the Sequence Read Archive (Accession number: SRR4426288). Only 2D reads (comprising information from both DNA strands) with a minimum read length of 6.5 kb (see above) were included in subsequent analyses (Supplementary Fig. S4). Reads were first mapped against the three reference genomes (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/all/GCA_000469605.1_Apis_dorsata_1.3; ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/all/GCA_000184785.1_Aflo_1.0 (11 January 2017, date last accessed); Amel4.5) in order to assign reads to the corresponding amplicon (by species and genomic target). Read mapping was performed using CLC Genomics Workbench 8.0 (CLC Bio, Aarhus, Denmark). With regard to the high error rate less stringent mapping parameter settings were used: mismatch cost of 2; insertion/deletion costs of 2 and 1, respectively; insertion/deletion open and extend cost of 6 and 1, respectively; length fraction of 0.7/0.5; a similarity fraction of 0.6/0.5 (see below).
But classes, as I will be arguing, are not like races and cultures, and treating them as if they were like races or cultures—different but equal—is one of our strategies for managing inequality rather than minimizing or eliminating it. White is not better than black, but rich is definitely better than poor. Poor people are an endangered species in elite universities not because the universities put quotas on them (as they did with Jews in the old days) and not even because they can’t afford to go to them (Harvard will lend you or even give you the money you need to go there) but because they can’t get into them. Hence the irrelevance of most of the proposed solutions to the systematic exclusion of poor people (it’s actually the systematic exclusion of three quarters of the population) from elite universities, which involve ideas like increased financial aid for students who can’t afford the high tuition, support systems for the few poor students who manage to end up there anyway and, in general, an effort to increase the “cultural capital” of the poor. Today, says David Brooks (who despite his Horatio Alger fantasies about “gangstas” in law school has begun to notice the predominance of rich kids), “the rich don’t exploit the poor, they just out-compete them.”6 And if outcompeting people means tying their ankles together and loading them down with extra weight while hiring yourself the most expensive coaches and the best practice facilities, he’s right. The entire U.S. school system, from pre-K up, is structured from the very start to enable the rich to outcompete the poor, which is to say, the race is fixed. And the kinds of solutions that might actually make a difference—financing every school district equally, abolishing private schools, making high-quality child care available to every family—are treated as if they were positively un-American.
Even though Canada only gained control of its own constitutional amendment in 1982 and the very last legal traces of its colonial past have yet to be formally extinguished, it is quite evident that Canada has been a fully independent state for a number of decades. The persistence of these vestiges of Canada's former status illustrate how much Canada owes its independence from Britain to political developments, rather than legal changes in the formal constitution. The legal amendments made to the Canadian constitution were important and necessary to the acquisition of sovereign independence, but these changes were not sufficient to convey independence on their own. Britain's legislative supremacy over Canada was greatly restrained by convention long before the passage of either the Statute of Westminster or the Canada Act. And Canada's complete control over the Monarch's prerogative powers was gained incrementally through the evolution of political practices which replaced the Monarch's British advisers with Canadian ministers. This fundamental transfer of executive power, which brought with it complete independence in foreign relations, was achieved almost entirely by constitutional convention. An understanding of Canada's acquisition of full independence continues to have critical bearing on modern constitutional debates, especially with respect to the international competence of provincial governments. What international personality the provinces have the legal power to assert is not simply a matter of international political practice; it is a matter of domestic constitutional law. In any attempt to establish what the law of the Canadian constitution is on this issue, one must appreciate that the transfer of the executive powers currently exercised by the federal government was brought about almost entirely by political practice.
Medieval and Renaissance philosophers used probability-related vocabulary; but they did not analyze the underlying concepts in depth, at least in comparison with the thoroughness of their investigations into the notions of knowledge or science (scientia). Probability-related terms were usually introduced in passing, and the most differentiated treatments extended to a folio page at best. Nevertheless, issues of probability were not peripheral to medieval thought. Probability-related terms and concepts played an enormous role in the regulation of everyday conduct and in many arts and sciences. Rhetoric and dialectic were by definition concerned with persuasion, credibility, and probability. Yet medieval thinkers were also highly aware that many claims in jurisprudence, theology, and medicine could not be derived with certainty from indubitable premises. Hence, arguments in these fields had to rely more often than not on probable reasoning. The notorious disagreements between scholastic academics in their fields of inquiry, nourished and represented by the practice of scholastic disputation, further increased the demand for probable reasoning. Wherever disagreement was licit and impossible to extirpate by argument, the claims of all sides counted as merely probable. Since medieval theologians and lawyers were no more in agreement concerning the ascription of sins (or of moral actions) than on other matters, the guidance of human conduct by confessors was also a matter of probability. In this domain, the regulation of decisions of conscience relied on a systematic framework of probable reasoning and decision in conditions of uncertainty. In short, for a satisfactory understanding of the medieval intellectual edifice, inspection of the uses of probability seems indispensable.

The Fall of Reach, though brief, was of great significance for John. Here, he received the Mjolnir Mark V Powered Assault Armor, which improved his strength and reaction time more effectively than his older Mark IV suit. He was also introduced to and partnered with the AI Cortana, who would become a close friend and ally to him. In the first test of their partnership, the two were put through a practically suicidal test in an attempt by Colonel Ackerson to get rid of John. John refused to cheat the test and was determined to win it by Ackerson's rules. Despite nearly being killed, Cortana and John's teamwork had them pass the test in an early show of the incredible partnership the two would come to develop. After Reach came under attack by a massive Covenant armada, the majority of the Spartans, led by Fred S-104, went to the planet's surface to protect the Orbital Defense Generators which powered the planet's twenty Orbital Defense Platforms. John, with Linda and James-005, were sent to Reach Station Gamma to destroy an unsecured NAV database on board the UNSC Circumference. If the Covenant obtained the database, they would discover the location of every human world, including Earth; the location of Earth by then was still a closely guarded secret. The NAV database was destroyed, but Linda and James were ambushed by Covenant Sangheili; James was lost in space, and Linda was critically wounded. John saved four other Marines on the station, including Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson. The team returned to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn and was placed into cryo-sleep as the ship landed on, then fled Reach and, following the Cole Protocol, jumped into Slipspace with coordinates deduced by Cortana from constellation data retrieved earlier, in hopes of leading the Covenant away from Earth.
The dual PC mode is a configuration where JPLAY is running on 2 PCs in a home network. It offers superior sound quality compared to a setup with just a single PC. Think of a CD integrated player vs. a CD transport + DAC analogy – the latter usually sounds better.One PC can be for general use: web browsing, work, editing photos etc. You run any software player that is compatible with JPLAY and start/stop playback here. You’d usually have your media library (music) here as well. This would be your. From user’s perspective, it works exactly the same as a single PC setup except that the actual playback happens on a different PC –is a PC that connects to your audio system – a USB DAC or any other audio interface compatible with JPLAY (USB-S/PDIF converter or PCI Express sound card).can have nothing else installed apart from JPLAY and USB DAC drivers. It can be headless and you don’t have to touch it at all after initial setup, because all playback related parameters are adjusted from JPLAYSettings panel on(some advanced settings from regedit). Both PCs must be in the same network, but do not have to be located in the same room – you can havein an office andclose to your audio system in a living room.does most of playback related processing and streams music bytes over Ethernet towhich then outputs them directly to a USB DAC or any other supported device. Becauseneeds only a small capacity drive for the operating system, JPLAY and essential drivers, it’s easy to make it compact and noiseless. You just need to pay attention to a power supply and a USB output in case you use a USB DAC – the higher quality, the better sound you will get. The quality of network components and cabling on both PCs is important as well.

Several immediate early genes that are activated in dopaminergic neurons following stimulation include those of the Fos family 65, 106, 123, 178. Fos is a transcription factor that is up-regulated in the mid-brain in response to stimulation from drugs, or other natural rewarding stimuli such as sexual behavior or exercise 123, 150. Fos is the product of the immediate early gene c-Fos, and Fos expression has been shown to be regulated by dopamine signaling 127. Pharmacological studies show that Fos immunoreactivity in the striatum and other key regions of the brain is increased following administration of D1 and D2 agonists 58, 66, 69, 109, 126, suggesting Fos may be important as a downstream gene regulated by dopaminergic signaling. ΔFosB, a transcription factor and also a member of the Fos family of proteins, is likewise up-regulated in response to drugs of abuse and exercise. The expression of ΔFosB is usually longer lasting than Fos, and is thought to be involved in long term changes in behavior 106, 178. Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) also appears to be regulated in part by dopamine signaling and has been shown to increase as a result of physical exercise 41. Additionally, it is thought that the antidepressant effect of exercise is mediated through the dopamine system, and increased expression of BDNF 38. Thus, while Fos and BDNF are two examples of downstream transcription factors regulated by dopamine signaling, the dopamine system potentially affects a large number of downstream genes and signaling pathways that may ultimately be important in the understanding of the genetic mechanisms involved in regulation of physical activity levels in animals and humans. For example, dopamine signaling has also been shown to have direct affects on expression levels of certain neuropeptides including substance P (SP) 54, dynorphin 7, 48, 157, enkephalin 83, 158, and orexin 79. In addition to other functions, these neuropeptides can in-turn also modulate other gene expression and downstream signaling, highlighting the possible indirect effects of dopamine signaling on downstream gene expression changes. Thus, the point should be made that any regulation of voluntary physical activity by dopamine signaling may be mediated through not only dopamine receptor expression levels, but also downstream signaling pathways including those that affect expression of transcription factors and other neuropeptides known to affect transcription and gene expression.
For decades, CAT has sold specially militarized equipment to the government of Israel used in the systematic demolition of Palestinian homes, the death and injury of unarmed Palestinian and international civilians, the uprooting of olive trees and destruction of agricultural land, and the expropriation of Palestinian territory through the construction of illegal Jewish-only settlements and a separation-annexation wall. Amnesty International, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Human Rights Watch have all reported on and denounced Israel's breaches of international humanitarian law and CAT's complicity in human rights violations. The CAT brand and its bulldozers have become a symbol of destruction in Palestine. CAT's responses to this overwhelming evidence have been inadequate and contrary to its own Code of Worldwide Business Conduct. CEO Doug Oberhelman has said, "How our customers use [the bulldozers] is their business. We can't stop them." But CAT designs the bulldozers to be weaponized. CAT has a choice. The corporation has a moral and legal responsibility to cease sales of CAT equipment used in a clear pattern of human rights abuses by the Israeli government and military. In 2003, Rachel Corrie, a nonviolent human rights activist and observer, and Washington state resident, was killed by a Caterpillar D9R bulldozer (operated by an Israeli soldier) as she tried to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family's home in the Gaza Strip. A student at the Evergreen State College, Rachel did not live to attend her own graduation in June 2003. Numerous Palestinian civilians have also been killed when their homes were collapsed upon them by D9s. We request that Jon Huntsman meet with UW representatives and the Corrie family to learn about the concerns of the Washington State and UW communities and to convey these to fellow Caterpillar Inc. board members. We are eager to share the profound impact the company could have by suspending sales to the Israeli military--implementing due diligence in their sales to any customer, until guarantees are received that their equipment will not be used to violate international law or commit human rights abuses.

There are other frayed edges to this thinking that need to be better formulated and discussed. There are things coming up in the next year which will give me some space to play with these ideas outside of my own head or conversations and I'll try and issue some updates as conversations and things evolve.
In a public message to all violent women, it implied that attacking men is girl power, not a criminal offence worthy of prison time – even when that means thrusting a wine glass into somebody’s face and throwing a laptop across a room. In a disturbing example of modern justice, Slater will now enjoy all the trappings of Christmas without a shred of real, tangible punishment in sight. No wonder, along with the case of Paul Stratford – who walked free from court after punching a headmistress for reprimanding his unruly son – it sparked the Mail’s What Does It Take To Get Jailed? report, last week. Quite frankly, both rulings are a joke. But, despite being equal understatements of justice, they differ on one crucial element – bias. While Stratford was likely given leniency for having a dependent child, in my opinion, Slater got off (from a much bloodier crime) simply because she’s a woman. And it’s increasingly common. Last month, Bianca Hendry from Middlesborough escaped jail – despite having a previous conviction for battery – after biting the tip off another club-goer’s finger in a dance floor confrontation over ‘stares’. Similarly, on Friday, Victoria Willis from Darlington walked free from court after stabbing her boyfriend with a kitchen knife at their home. Her punishment? She was given a community order. Earlier this year, Sheona Keith glassed a male clubber for simply smiling at her – but was spared jail by a judge. Instead, she was given a conditional discharge and ordered to pay £400 compensation by Judge Philip Wassall at Exeter Crown Court. Had these been cases of men attacking women, then – quite rightly – they would’ve been given much stiffer penalties. But, in the same week where car insurance brokers are no longer able to discriminate against male drivers, the courts should be applying their policies equally, too. Thankfully, I’m not alone in my theory of equal equality – some people in power agree, too. Last October, during a House of Commons debate on the topic of sentencing female offenders, Phillip Davies MP delivered an outstanding critique of the pro-female discrimination endemic throughout UK courts. A transcript of the debate, which can be found online, is 14 pages long and (as far as I’m aware) the only example of its kind in British politics.
Progress toward reactivating the paternal allele was made in a drug screen, which utilized mice that were transgenic for a Ube3a-yellow fluorescent protein fusion on the silenced paternal allele [20]. The screen showed reactivation of paternal Ube3a was possible through use of topoisomerase inhibitors such as topotecan [24]. Topotecan was shown to work by inhibiting transcriptional progression of the Ube3a-ATS, resulting in expression of paternal Ube3a. The drug was found to stabilize R-loop formation in the upstream Snord116 cluster, resulting in extending chromatin decondensation but reduced transcriptional progression through the end of the Ube3a-ATS[24–26]. This advanced the field by confirming that reactivation of paternal Ube3a was possible by therapeutic targeting of the Ube3a-ATS transcript. The result was especially promising since topotecan was an FDA-approved anti-cancer drug. The value of re-purposing FDA-approved drugs is particularly important for rare diseases, as it is often felt that the cost of developing a new drug and bringing it successfully through full clinical trials would be financially unrealistic with the limited resources available for rare disease research. However, various complications involving specificity, toxicity, biodistribution, and delivery have impeded the advance of topoisomerase inhibitors toward human trials for Angelman syndrome treatment. The concept that reduced Ube3a-ATS expression would increase paternal Ube3a expression was further supported by a recent study using a mouse model that contained a transcriptional termination signal inserted in the Ube3a-ATS gene [22]. The insertion of the poly(A) cassette in the Ube3a-ATS gene resulted in premature termination of Ube3a-ATS transcript, allowing Ube3a transcription to proceed without inhibition. The increased paternal Ube3a expression did not reach full wild type levels, but the partial increase significantly affected phenotype. The study explored the concept of the extent to which paternal Ube3a expression could compensate for maternal Ube3a loss if the compensation was present from birth. Significant improvements were observed in obesity, LTP, long-term memory, and a variety of motor skills. These findings suggest that partial expression of paternal Ube3a is sufficient to ameliorate several of the phenotypes associated with Angelman syndrome in mice. This mouse model was created from a single genetically modified cell, thus the same method could not be used for therapy in humans.
“Controlling elements” - how can L1 activity impact neuronal genomes? A major implication of somatic mosaicism is that a subset of neurons would have distinct genomes, leading to unique transcriptomes. How L1 retrotransposition leads to such changes may be inferred from consequences of L1 germline insertions. Multiple genetic mechanisms whereby L1 elements impact host genomes, such as insertions, deletions and ectopic recombination, have been described (reviewed in [3, 20]). New L1 insertions likely affect somatic genomes by modulating RNA abundance through changing the expression of messenger RNA (mRNA) and/or non-coding RNA (ncRNA). Transcript levels can increase or decrease through premature polyadenylation, aberrant splicing, formation of alternative transcripts or premature termination ( ). Gene expression levels are modulated differently depending on where, and in which orientation, an L1 element inserts into the gene. For example, L1 elements inserted into an intron in the antisense orientation had almost no effect on transcript levels, whereas sense insertions generally caused a substantial decrease in transcript abundance [21, 22]. Open in a separate window Human and mouse L1 elements contain both a sense and antisense RNA polymerase II (pol II)-dependent promoter in their 5′UTR, as well as a newly discovered polII promoter in their untranslated 3′UTR [7]. Bidirectional transcription from the sense and antisense promoter in the 5′UTR can produce chimeric transcripts, non-coding RNA, antisense mRNA or double stranded RNA (dsRNA), which can affect gene expression in distinct ways ( ) [23]. The promoter in the 3′UTR is in the sense orientation, reading “outwards” into the flanking genomic sequence ( ) [7]. When genome-wide transcript abundance was measured, the majority of transcripts that derived from L1 sequence initiated at this promoter in a wide variety of somatic tissues, including brain [7]. Since the majority of new somatic L1 insertions are truncated near their 5′ end, it is likely that many newly inserted L1 sequences in neurons are not of full length but still contain the 3′ UTR promoter and may thereby initiate transcription of downstream sequences. Consequently, an alternative promoter derived from a novel L1 insertion could increase transcription of a nearby coding gene. L1 elements are silenced through epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, and are activated when those repressive marks are relieved [24].
The results are reported in Appendix Table A.2.The first regression model testing the association between mode and accuracy found that after taking geography and the number of days from the election into account, usage of IVR methods alone were associated with roughly 1-point lower absolute error than live-interviewer surveys, while internet, IVR/cell and IVR/internet polls did not have significantly larger or smaller errors than those conducted with live telephone interviewers. Usage of other, less common modes was associated with greater errors.The second model focusing on sample source found no significant association of different sample sources with absolute error in vote margin estimates compared with RDD samples, when state and timing are taken into account. Both regression analysis confirmed battleground state polls exhibited greater errors than national polls, particularly in Wisconsin, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan.In sum, the regression analysis confirms the bivariate result that polls using IVR tended to have less error in the 2016 general election. It also indicates that mode was a more important predictor of error than sample source. This also suggests that the fact that IVR polls nearly always used voter file sample is perhaps not the sole or even the dominant reason for their relatively good performance. Taken together with the bivariate results, including those from past elections, it appears the accuracy of IVR polls may be a 2016-specific phenomenon: live telephone and internet polls did better in the recent past and may surpass IVR once again in a future election with different turnout patterns.Turning to the primary polls, regression analysis was also used to evaluate the effects of different design features on the accuracy of these polls. The model, presented in full in Appendix A.B, yielded the following main findings:[10]Another major player in the polling scene during the primaries were the aggregators. The committee examined a total of five different estimation methods produced by three polling aggregators:There were no significant differences among the aggregators in their prediction accuracy in primary elections. Since RealClearPolitics is using a simple unweighted average of the polls, and there was no statistically significant difference in accuracy between this method and the others, this means that additional modeling did not greatly increase the accuracy of the predictions.The average signed error in the margin across all 230 aggregator predictions was -4.7, indicating that the predictions under-estimated the margin by 4.7 percentage points. The absolute error was much greater.

Assessing the consequences of climate change for life on Earth is one of the major challenges facing science and society. There is growing evidence that tipping elements, large-scale components of the Earth system that can be switched into qualitatively different states by small perturbations, exist in the climate system1,3. There is also evidence that ecosystems may be subject to analogous tipping phenomena. Such regime shifts have been observed locally5, but whether such shifts occur at regional scales remains speculative. The terrestrial ecosystem where regime shifts are most likely to have powerful repercussions on the Earth system is the vast savanna complex, a term we use to refer to grassland, savanna and forest ecosystems of tropical and subtropical regions. Regime shifts of relevance to the Earth system are likely in the savanna complex because of the large area it covers and because savannas are known to shift into alternative states such as forest or grassland6,7,8,9,10. Indeed, the stability of savannas has long been questioned by biogeographers, who noticed that they do not seem to be in equilibrium with their climate in the same way that forests seem to be11. The Amazon basin is prominent example of a region in the savanna complex where shifts to alternative vegetation states are predicted. Several studies have shown that decreased rainfall over the Amazon would induce forest dieback, a process that would be reinforced and accelerated by feedbacks with the climate system1,3,12,13. Despite the fact that large proportions of the savanna complex seem to be predisposed to regime shifts9,10, uncertainty in how climate and land use will change in these regions, coupled with uncertainty in the mechanisms driving change, hampers our ability to predict change14.
As we have just seen, Barnett begins with the principles of the master-servant or principal-agent legal relationship, whereby the servant, the government, is bound not to do anything at odds with justice for each and every individual. On this point, Barnett writes, “After all, we the people cannot be presumed to have consented to delegate to our servants in the legislature the power to arbitrarily or irrationally restrict the exercise of our preexisting rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” He cites John Locke’s theory of the social contract, in which Locke argues that people can’t be supposed to have consented to something that would leave them worse off or that would deprive them of their rights. For Barnett, it thus follows that the Constitution enshrines an essentially libertarian picture of freedom and natural individual rights. That claim, though, isn’t as obviously true as Barnett thinks. In fact, most of mainstream political philosophy since Rawls has taken it for granted that the opposite is probably true, that people would hypothetically be ready and willing to give up all sorts of the individual rights we libertarians love if properly abstracted out of the knowledge of their own talents, abilities, social standing, race, gender, etc. On its own, Barnett’s deontological natural rights theory is, it turns out, quite controversial (even idiosyncratic, but more on that below), so the notion that the Constitution protects it—demonstrably, objectively, as a matter of fact—is still more controversial. To make Barnett’s justice-oriented theory of constitutional legitimacy work, we have to know what is meant by justice—a contentious philosophical question. For a key feature of Barnett’s New Originalism is that premise that arriving at “the original public meaning of the [Constitution] is an empirical inquiry.”3
Children who received more than one diagnosis were categorized by the most frequently occurring diagnosis. The first four categories accounted for 95% of prior diagnoses. Demographic Characteristics such as age at first visit, sex and ethnicity were obtained from the Medicaid claims. During the study period, ethnicity was coded as American-Indian, Asian, Black, Latino, White and “Other.” Because of the small number of individuals in categories other than black or white, other groups were collapsed into one category. Medicaid Eligibility was obtained from the Medicaid eligibility records from July 1993 through June 1999. The number of months families were eligible for Medicaid prior to diagnosis was included because children with autism are eligible for Medicaid services even if their families’ incomes are greater than that needed normally to qualify for Medicaid. Therefore, this variable classified children as eligible for Medicaid because of income versus disability. The first phase of data analysis included simple descriptive statistics for important variables for the total sample and for subsamples organized by ethnicity (African-American, white, other). The model identification phase consisted of two separate logistic regression analyses. First, multiple logistic regression was used to examine differences by ethnicity with respect to the odds of receiving a diagnosis of autism on the child's first specialty mental health visit. The dependent variable was regressed onto ethnicity, sex, age of entry into mental health services and a variable indicating whether the child's family had been eligible for Medicaid for at least 1 year prior to receiving the autistic disorder diagnosis. Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine the relative odds of receiving various diagnoses prior to autism. In this analysis, the sample consisted only of children (n = 228) who had received other diagnoses prior to autistic disorder. Because ADHD was the most common diagnosis among this group, it was used as the reference diagnosis. Diagnostic categories were regressed onto ethnicity, sex, and age of entry into the mental health system. Previous time eligible for Medicaid was removed from the multinomial analysis because 97% of this subsample had been on Medicaid for more than 1 year, and the estimates associated with this variable were unstable. Alpha was adjusted using Tukey (1977) adjustment for multiple comparisons across both analyses.
)Martyr: You better have a good explanation for this! Or else.Nyberim: (Something quick, something quick… ah yes! )He pulls out a small container.Martyr: And what are you going to prove with that?Nyberim: Many things, Martyr; many, many things.He holds it up so the four can see. It is a small container, hardly the size of half his hand. On the outside is a label, but it is too small to read without getting up real close. When he moves the container, objects can be heard inside.Nyberim: I was given this by the board. They wanted to see a moe show full of excitement, fun, and wackiness, and the idea they came up with was to turn someone moe.The four gasp.Burrito: So that means…!Sam: W-why would they want that! That’s…..Martyr: …SHe begins to shake in anger.Martyr: YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!! !Nyberim: Wait!!! It’s not me you want. I wasn’t the one who decided on it!Martyr: But you have it right there! !Nyberim: I know, but if I don’t follow the orders of the board, it’s out the door for me. Do you understand?Martyr: Understanding isn’t going to get you out of this one!She prepares to lunge, but is stopped by Burrito.Burrito: Marty! Don’t do it!Martyr: Why? He has discriminating evidence right there!Burrito: But he says it was the board, and I trust him on it!Martyr: Errrghh…Burrito: Please Marty, no violence. Violence is not the way to solve things!Martyr: Grrr… fine. But only because it’s so much harder to pounce then when I am myself. You’re lucky Nyberim.Nyberim: (Whew…) Glad we could come to and understanding.Martyr: But I will ask you this: how long does this last?Unknowing, Nyberim takes a close look at the label.Nyberim: It says here the effect only lasts a few hours, so you should be fine by this evening.Martyr: Thank dome… I would have had to strangle you if it was any longer.Nyberim: I.... don’t think any strangling would be pleasant, so let us try to avoid that.Burrito: Agreed.Sam: No strangling is good f-for me.Accio: Okay… so we got that part figured out. You satisfied now, Flareon?Martyr: …Burrito: Marty?Martyr: Alright, fine. It’s going to end soon anyway.Burrito: Alright, thanks for your time, Nyberim!Nyberim: No problem!Accio: Now then, I think it’s time I made my leave. I have to get back before the other two go bonkers without my thinking.
On the other hand, if we turn back to the term choice; three book length contributions to the subject, Todd May’s The Political Philosophy of Poststructralist Anarchism, Saul Newman’s From Bakunin to Lacan, and Lewis Call’s Postmodern Anarchism prefer and use different terms for the same field. May prefers “poststructralist anarchism”, Newman “postanarchism” and Call “postmodern anarchism”. The problem with ‘poststructralist anarchism’ is it represents an intersection of anarchism with limited thinkers who are generally called poststructralist. May would find no problem with that, he even exclude some poststructralist thinkers for their thought he thinks won’t be appropriate for a political project. This understanding secures possible fields of research on different intersections between different anarchisms and thinkers like Bakhtin who are not directly poststructralist thinkers but who are post- in many aspects. There is no way to think anarchism through hypertext or Cixous or Irigaray or art works or facts from political life or everyday life. It is limiting post- with just some philosophical works. So, “postmodern anarchism” sounds more open and useful. Postmodern is much more flexible and it is not limited to some writers only. That’s how the postmodern matrix of Call, reaches and combines Marcel Mauss, Saussure, Durkheim or Freud on one line and cyberpunk, Chomsky and Butler on the other line. Although Call did not draw it as a historical temporal context, postmodern easily represents ‘a postmodern era’ and a historical slice which makes ‘postmodern anarchism’ a bit problematic. But compared with these two, postanarchism may be the most problematic term. It is not telling anything besides possible meanings you can load to the prefix post- like ‘after’ or ‘beyond’. I will still prefer postanarchism for it is elusive and the field we are stepping in now is much elusive as well.
“Voluntary surveys are simply a waste of money,” Munir Sheikh, the Chief Statistician who resigned over the switch to the voluntary census, tells CityLab in a phone interview. “[They] cannot provide you the kind of accurate information that you need to make your policy decisions. So in my view, this is the worst of both worlds.” There seems to be little chance that the conservative government will reverse its stance on the census while it’s in power, despite the outcry from groups as varied as the Canadian Nurses Association, policy think tanks, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and United Way Toronto. A recent attempt by Liberal Ontario MP Ted Hsu to bring back the long-form was hopeless, commentators agreed, well before it was voted down on February 4. Analysts say it will take a change in government to return to the mandatory version. Meanwhile, this has become far more than a fight over statistics. How best to distribute Canada’s census forms has become a political and ideological question, too. As one conservative commentator wrote in 2010: "If you measure it, it matters” is the motto of those net tax-receiving organizations who only matter if they can make their case. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has tried the ideological argument against these groups for years. But ideology is by its nature debatable; removing the framework of debate is his shortcut to victory. ... I imagine that [in] Stephen Harper’s view, Canada should be a country of individual initiative, not one of collective dependence “justified” through the collection of data.

Berlin is making a joke here, one that’s been making the rounds in Canadian academic conferences for the past few years. But he’s not wrong. Certain populations—low-income residents, immigrants, the disabled, aboriginal peoples, and those without a firm grasp of the English language—were far less likely to return the voluntary census. These are also often the communities most in need of social programs. The question marks are particularly disconcerting in the wake of the worldwide recession. Where are the needy? Canada isn’t entirely sure.
Rather, the people are acknowledged to possess certain rights, which pre-date the Constitution, and to which officers of the Union are required to take an Oath to protect, and not to violate. Any so-called right, which is dependent upon a Constitution, a contract, or any other piece of paper, is more accurately described as a "delegation of authority," or "privilege." If the paper is lost, destroyed, revoked, or amended, then the privilege which it created disappears. In contrast, the laws of our One True God cannot be lost or destroyed, and will never be revoked or amended. Those who tell you that the law changes constantly, have forsaken our One True God, and embraced the Beast. They would have you do the same. In agreement with most of the founders of these united States of America, I believe that all rights originate from the Creator of all things, the One True God. (Genesis 1:1) How do we know what rights God gave us? This question stumps most people who claim God-given rights. When asked the question, "Do all people have the same rights?" most will answer "yes." When asked, "how do you know which rights God gave you?" the most common answer is a blank stare. The Holy Scriptures do not talk much of rights, with the exception on one: the right to choose, or free agency. "Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day; And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known." (Deuteronomy 11: 26-28)
The series is filmed at the world’s only hotels run by and for snowboarders and offers a candid look at the insanity of “The Block,” where the action behind the front desk is only topped by what happens on the slopes.

Finally, attorneys handling mental health malpractice cases often encounter patients suffering from bipolar disorder, formerly known as manicdepressive illness. As the name suggests, bipolar patients suffer from extreme mood swings. Typically, the patient will enter either a manic or depressed phase, each of which can last for months. The patient will then return Lo baseline functioning, before entering a new episode. During their manic phase, patients engage in reckless behavior (gambling or spending excessively, or engaging in impetuous sexual behavior), speak rapidly and incoherently, go for prolonged periods without sleep, and exhibit excessive levels of activity. They may call their attorney repeatedly during the course of a single day, often late at night. They may write long, rambling letters to their attorney, suggesting courses of action which are either unrealistic or imprudent. When depressed, bipolar patients find little energy for anything. They experience periods of insomnia, rapid weight loss, loss of interest, memory loss, indecisiveness, and inability to concentrate. They may fail to return phone calls, forget to follow up on their attorney's requests, or express a sudden lack of interest in pursuing the litigation. It is essential that attorneys understand that their client's behavior is a result of a medical disorder, which can be controlled through proper treatment. It is also important that attorneys realize that these mood shifts are both episodic and temporary. Because they interact more frequently with clients than attorneys, it is particularly important for staff members to understand the nature of the illness and to avoid reaching unfair judgments about bipolar clients, as such judgments pose a long-term threat to the attorney-client relationship.

We would also like to sincerely thank the over 5,000 users who participated in the 9.3-BETA testing program. The level of participation in the form of bug reports and commentary in the special 9.3 Testing section of the FreeNAS Forum was truly unprecedented in size and scope, and this release wouldn't be anything close to the level of quality without it. Thank you!We are already starting to screen bugs into the SU (Software Update) Candidate milestone and plan on supporting the 9.3-STABLE update train up to and well past the point where FreeNAS 10 comes out, nightlies for that train resuming just as soon as the FreeNAS 10 team has something ready to publicly demo.We will try to keep updates from coming out too frequently, though if we do encounter any issue which is significantly impactful and worthy of a quick reaction on our part, we will fix it as quickly as necessary. The new updater means we can ship an update for a single bug, or multiple bugs combined, it all depending on timing and severity.Please enjoy this new release! There are hundreds of improvements, performance enhancements, and new features in it, and we hope everyone will get plenty of mileage out of it as we proceed towards our next major release with FreeNAS 10!The FreeNAS Development Team

sex $400 $400 $250 $75* * Plus a shot at the bar The Agency Trap More than 60 percent of women in the high-end trade have worked with escort agencies. Men like going through the agencies because it feels less dirty and because they can often write off the expense. (For example, the agency might give them an “entertainment” receipt that includes dinner, hotel, and other seemingly legitimate costs.) But many sex workers hate agencies because they take a cut without providing much security or support. So a lot of women self-incorporate and create a fake agency web page with swiped photos that make it appear as though they are part of a bigger operation. Education and Day Jobs Of the escorts I talked to, 63 percent had moved to New York City from another state after high school. But people rarely come to the big city to become prostitutes: Nearly all have held a legitimate job, but not necessarily the glamorous one they came to New York to get. Three worked as street vendors. Two appeared on daytime soap operas. Their Education 86% High school diploma 53% Some college 19% College degree Their Day Jobs 47% Food services (catering and restaurants) 11% Arts (dancing, acting, or musical performance) 43% Retail sales 9% Publishing (copywriting, proofreading, administrative work) Numbers exceed 100% because of overlaps in work experience. Top Upgrades “You’ll make about 50 percent more with a good boob job,” one woman said. Other things that can increase a sex worker’s earning power: 1. Dying her hair blond. 2. Befriending hotel clerks to obtain free room upgrades to suites. 3. BlackBerrys. To clients, this symbol of professional life suggests the worker is drug- and disease-free. disintermediation What About the Pimps? It’s hard out there for a pimp—especially now. Changes in the sex industry have rendered them superfluous. I met 11 pimps working out of midtown Manhattan in 1999, and all were out of work within four years. One enlisted in the military; two have been homeless. Only one now has a full-time job, working as a janitor in a charter school. I asked one of them how pimping experience helps him in the legit economy: “You learn one thing,” he said. “For a good blow job, a man will do just about anything. What can I do with that knowledge?
Hubbell’s adventures since his burial thirteen years ago, as told in his last letter, are of an Arabian Nights nature, and were not the proof so conclusive, would be unbelievable The night following his burial, he says that grave robbers took him from his resting place and shipped him in a trunk to one of the Cincinnati medical schools, where he was placed on a dissecting table in the presence of a class of the students. The demonstrator felt about the body of the corpse, making ready for the first cut. The knife was inserted when, to the horror of the demonstrator and his pupils. THE CORPSE AROSE, And with eyes wild and staring, and with blood rushing form his nostrils, gave vent to a cry that froze their blood. The witnesses of this horrible affair could not move or make a sound until the revivified corpse, with a maniac yell, leaped upon the demonstrator and attempted to snatch the gleaming knife from his hand. One of the students, throwing off the stupor that had overcome him, rushed upon the maniac and caught him from behind. After a terrible struggle Hubbell was bound to the dissecting table, upon which he raved, and by his almost superhuman efforts to break his bonds tore the flesh of his arms and legs in a horrible manner. Leading members of the faculty, after an examination into the man’s condition, announced that he had lain in a trance, and had, when the dissecting knife entered his arm, returned to consciousness, but was wildly insane. Hubbell was immediately transferred to A PRIVATE MAD HOUSE As it would be hard to establish his identity, and the faculty were afraid of an exposure, which would necessarily make public their methods of obtaining subjects for scientific investigation. In that mad house the man remained for thirteen years, but is now completely recovered, and wishes to return to his wife and friends. The whole story of his adventures has been related to him by the officials of the asylum. He is said to be much changed, but the memory of his entire life previous to his burial has returned to him, and with the proofs given him by the medical men he claims he can fully establish his identity. DISCREDITED BY HIS RELATIVES Toledo, Sept. 19. The Blade this afternoon gives the details of an interview with some of the relatives of Thomas Hubbell.
The Lanham Act violates this bedrock principle by creating a formal system of government-provided benefits and then distributing those benefits based on a system of explicit viewpoint discrimination. It is simply not within the government’s authority to determine what speech is too “scandalous” to merit trademark protection. The Lanham Act’s determination of trademark propriety “is inconsistent with the maintenance of a robust and uninhibited marketplace of ideas” — especially so in the trademark context, where a literal marketplace allows members of the public to register protest through boycotts or other traditional First Amendment means. By scheduling the cancellation of the Redskins’ trademark because the word expresses a disparaging viewpoint, the government violated the First Amendment. This Court should end this formal system of viewpoint discrimination by issuing a narrow ruling that strikes down those portions of Section 2(a) of the Lanham Act that prohibit registration of “immoral,” “scandalous,” or “disparag[ing]” marks.
Shortly before the movie was released, Cumberbatch confirmed that the solo movie wasn't his only plan for the future with Marvel Studios, as the benevolent spell-caster will appear in Avengers: Infinity War as well. Not only is the character expected to become an important and influential figure in the MCU -- as he is in the comics -- but he also serves as the gatekeeper for a very important aspect of the big screen world: The Multiverse. As teased in Derrickson's blockbuster, Doctor Strange will be the audience's access point to the world of magic and alternate dimensions in the Marvel films, and that area should definitely be explored in the battle against Thanos. After all, the very special relic that he likes to wear around his neck - a.k.a. the time-controlling Eye of Agamotto - is actually one of the six Infinity Stones for which the Mad Titan is hunting (specifically the Time Stone). That alone puts a major target on his back, and its a dangerous situation considering Strange will be dealing with threats unlike anything he's dealt with before. On a brighter note, the advancing manipulator of the mystic arts will have a close friend by his side during The Avengers: Infinity War in Wong (Benedict Wong), and Cumberbatch has said that Strange may also prove integral in mediating the fractured relationship between The Avengers that came about in Captain America: Civil War. Black Panther Most major heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are introduced via solo films that explore origin stories, but such was not the case for Black Panther. Instead, Chadwick Boseman debuted as T'Challa in Captain America: Civil War, and he immediately became a fan favorite. There is still much to learn about his character and where he comes from before the events of The Avengers: Infinity War, but that's why Ryan Coogler's Black Panther is arriving in theaters in February 2018. Based on the trailer for The Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther should actually wind up being a key set-up film for the summer release, given that it looks like Wakanda is going to be a very important location in the blockbuster. Wakanda is, of course, the secretive African nation that calls T'Challa king, and, as mentioned earlier, the footage suggests that it's been a safe haven for heroes like Captain America who are technically fugitives everywhere else in the world.
I. Introduction An emerging branch of economics has begun to examine the empirical determinants of happiness; see for example, Easterlin (2001) and Frey and Stutzer (2002). This paper continues that avenue of research in a different sphere. It focuses on the—still relatively unexplored—links between income, sexual activity and well‐being. Human beings are interested in sex. There are also scientific reasons to study it. For example, recent work by Kahneman, Krueger, Schkade, Schwarz and Stone (2004) finds, among a sample of 1,000 employed women, that sex is rated retrospectively as the activity that produces the single largest amount of happiness. Commuting to and from work produces the lowest levels of psychological well‐being. These two activities come at the top and bottom, respectively, of a list of 19 activities. In this paper we estimate what may be the first econometric happiness equations in which sexual activity is an independent variable. As in the rest of the recent well‐being literature, we study the numbers that people report when asked questions about how happy they feel with life. Our dataset is a randomly selected group of approximately 16,000 Americans. Although, for the sake of persuasive identification, it would be desirable to have instrumental variables for sexual activity, in this paper we follow the simpler route of providing single‐equation estimates with no adjustment for possible endogeneity. Our instinct is that solving the endogeneity problem—working out whether sex causes happiness or causality runs in the reverse direction—will be particularly difficult here. Future work will have to return to this issue. There are limitations to well‐being statistics. An inquiry in this field also faces the disadvantage that controlled experiments cannot be done. To understand the connections between happiness and intimate behavior such as sexual activity is likely to be particularly difficult. Nevertheless, it seems implausible that happiness can be understood without, in part, listening to what human beings say about their own lives and levels of happiness. This paper examines such data. Surveys have for many years recorded individuals’ responses to questions about well‐being. They have been studied by psychologists,1 sociologists and political scientists,2 and more recently economists.3 As yet, however, there seems to have been little attempt to link happiness surveys to information on sexual behavior. There are similarities between our work and the earlier research of Laumann, Gagnon, Michael and Michaels (1994) and Michael, Gagnon, Laumann and Kolata (1994).4 These authors collected sexual data on 3,400 Americans at the start of the 1990s.
Much of the controlling logic -- not just for the stepper but for the entire unit -- is done in software as it's easier to code than to solder ;) Everything you ever wanted to know about steppers can be found on this guy's web page. The LCD display is driven by a gizmo to run it from a serial port, and is attached to a COM port on the motherboard. The backup scripts send status to the COM port, then so that the machine can operate headlessly (i.e. without monitor, and in fact without a keyboard or mouse as well.) The other COM port uses a Scott Edwards SSC II to control the RC servos on the flipper mechanism. The last PC interface is an ancient unit, that allows a parallel port to control 32 bits each input and output. It came from Australia's Dontronics and is no longer in production. LPT port stuff is blase' any more, it seems, and everyone wants USB. It's a shame, as it's simple and quite well laid out. This is the longer board at the rear of the setup, with all the colored wires. (Speaking of no longer around, the DC motor controller and the serial-LCD bridge both came from Wirz, who no longer cater to the kit crowd.) Software Without getting into the penguin-vs-Bill controversy, I happen to be a Microsoft shop, so Florian runs Windows XP. The desktop can be accessed remotely over RDP, and it's trivial to network to the various Windows servers and workstations to access the files to back up. The controlling software is all in Perl, oddly enough, grouped into batch files for logical functions like loading a disc from the blank stack, flipping a disc, and unloading a disc into the done pile. While Perl is not necessarily well-suited to bit-banging, it has modules for serial port access, and can interface to the ubiquitous inpout32.dll for direct hardware access. The rest of the duties are a cakewalk for Perl: simple programmatic logic and text management, conditional looping, etc. The grouping and splitting of files into ~4.3GB chunks is also done in Perl.
“I would say, I’ve been a pretty sheltered kid my whole life,” Bobby says. That bubble began to deflate in December 2017, during a 56-55 win at Oak Hills High School. Whenever Nathan, then a junior, found himself in front of the Oak Hills student section, he could hear unnerving comments coming from a few hecklers in the crowd. Bobby could hear them, too. You missed your shot because you can’t see, they said. This is the USA. Go back to China. But officials in the building didn’t pay it much mind. Neither did Nathan. “I just laughed at them,” he says. “I was like, if you have to go that far just to try to get to my head, that shows a lot of what you are. So I was like, I’m not going to let these few guys just destroy me over what I am. I’m proud of who I am and I’m not going to be ashamed of it ever.” Then in February 2018, Nathan and Bobby once again found themselves in hostile territory in West Cincinnati. Two weeks after ending a five-year drought in the Greater Catholic League with an overtime buzzer-beater at home against Elder High School, St. X faced a revenge-minded Panthers squad—along with its salty supporters—on the road. The atmosphere at Elder was tense, even before Nathan and Bobby took the floor with the Bombers. After exiting the tunnel—which both teams shared—Bobby, basketball in hand, heard an unfamiliar voice calling him from behind. “Move out of the way,” the voice yelled. “For what?” Bobby replied. He turned around to find a white uniformed police officer. “I stood my ground and I started laughing because I’m like, this has to be a joke,” Bobby says. “Me and my teammates around me who witnessed it, we all thought it was a joke.” But to the cop, that response was no laughing matter. As Bobby recalls, the officer then slapped the ball out of his hands and scolded him. “You should learn a little respect,” the policeman said condescendingly. “I know it’s hard for you, though.” “When that happened, I kind of looked around,” Nathan says. “I was like, does anyone else see this? Because I see it all over social media.
The return stack pointer (SP), index register X (IX), and index register Y (IY, used as the data stack pointer) are unchanged by this simple routine. The contents of the condition code register (CC) and of the double accumulator (D) change as the top stack item (5) is loaded into D, and then 3 is added to this quantity. Note that although the data stack pointer IY is unchanged, the contents of the top stack position which is pointed to by IY are modified.
Never use Tor from home, or near home. Never work on anything sensitive enough to require Tor from home, even if you remain offline. Computers have a funny habit of liking to be connected... This also applies to anywhere you are staying temporarily, such as a hotel. Never performing these activities at home helps to ensure that they cannot be tied to those locations. (Note that this applies to people facing advanced persistent threats. Running Tor from home is reasonable and useful for others, especially people who aren't doing anything themselves but wish to help by running an exit node, relay or bridge.) Limit the amount of time you spend using Tor at any single location. While these correlation attacks do take some time, they can in theory be completed in as little as a day. (And if you are already under surveillance, it can be done instantly; this is done to confirm or refute that a person under suspicion is the right person.) While the jackboots are very unlikely to show up the same day you fire up Tor at Starbucks, they might show up the next day. I recommend for the truly concerned to never use Tor more than 24 hours at any single physical location; after that, consider it burned and go elsewhere. This will help you even if the jackboots show up six months later; it's much easier to remember a regular customer than someone who showed up one day and never came back. This does mean you will have to travel farther afield, especially if you don't live in a large city, but it will help to preserve your ability to travel freely. Avoid being electronically tracked. Pay cash for fuel for your car or for public transit. For instance, on the London Underground, use a separate Travelcard purchased with cash instead of your regular Oyster card or contactless payment. Pay cash for everything else, too; avoid using your normal credit and debit cards, even at ATMs. If you need cash when going out, use an ATM close to home that you already frequently use. If you drive, try to avoid number plate readers by avoiding major bridges, tunnels, motorways, toll roads and primary arterial roads and traveling on secondary roads. If the information is publicly available, learn where these readers are installed in your area. When you go out to perform these activities, leave your mobile phone turned on and at home.
When Aubrey looked at his wife did he see a high-school girl full of scorn and sass, with a tilt to her blue eyes, pursing her fruity lips around a forbidden cigarette? “So your wife’s depressed?” Aubrey’s wife said. “What’s your wife’s name? I forget.” “It’s Fiona.” “Fiona. And what’s yours? I don’t think I was ever told that.” Grant said, “It’s Grant.” She stuck her hand out unexpectedly across the table. “Hello, Grant. I’m Marian.” “So now we know each other’s names,” she said, “there’s no point in not telling you straight out what I think. I don’t know if he’s still so stuck on seeing your—on seeing Fiona. Or not. I don’t ask him and he’s not telling me. Maybe just a passing fancy. But I don’t feel like taking him back there in case it turns out to be more than that. I can’t afford to risk it. I don’t want him upset and carrying on. I’ve got my hands full with him as it is. I don’t have any help. It’s just me here. I’m it.” “Did you ever consider—I’m sure it’s very hard for you—” Grant said. “Did you ever consider his going in there for good?” He had lowered his voice almost to a whisper but she did not seem to feel a need to lower hers. “No,” she said. “I’m keeping him right here.” Grant said, “Well. That’s very good and noble of you.” He hoped the word “noble” had not sounded sarcastic. He had not meant it to be. “You think so?” she said. “Noble is not what I’m thinking about.” “Still. It’s not easy.” “No, it isn’t. But the way I am, I don’t have much choice. I don’t have the money to put him in there unless I sell the house. The house is what we own outright. Otherwise I don’t have anything in the way of resources. Next year I’ll have his pension and my pension, but even so I couldn’t afford to keep him there and hang on to the house. And it means a lot to me, my house does.” “It’s very nice,” said Grant. “Well, it’s all right. I put a lot into it. Fixing it up and keeping it up. I don’t want to lose it.” “No. I see your point.” “The company left us high and dry,” she said.
[August 13, 1898] Hon. AW McCune is thinking of running for the United States Senate and he asked me today if I would help him. I told him I had no objections to doing what little I could to aid him in securing the place, although I assured him that I could not on account of the ecclesiastical position which I occupied, devote any time to laboring for his cause. [Talked of Utah loan & trust; he gave check for $5000.] I chatted today with Pres[iden]t Joseph F. Smith and Elder John Henry Smith and asked them if they had any objections whatever to my doing a little work in a quiet way in the interests of friend McCune securing the office of United States Senator. They both assured me that they had no objections whatever and did not know of any Democrat that they would sooner see go to the U.S. Senate than Mr McCune. Pres[iden]t Smith suggested that I call and chat the matter over with Pres[iden]t Woodruff and get his opinion in the premises. I went to Pres[iden]t Woodruff’s house to chat with him, but his carriage had just left for the Rio Grande Depot. He and his wife, Pres[iden]t Cannon and wife and others leave on the noon train today for California. [October 7, 1898] FD Richards . . . In his opinion wars are necessary for the establishing of Gods work in the land (referred to American Revolution, Civil War opened South to missionary work, Franco-Prussion had Germany) . . . [Met with RR Lyman, Heber Iverson, Sec[retar]y Higgs of the Co. officers Ymmi(?) of Salt Lake.] We chatted on the League matters and it was suggested that I try and get Hon. AW McCune to pay off the League debt of $1,800 and the brethren said if he would do so they would do all in their power to try and make him a United States Senator. I hope Mr. McCune will conclude to do it . [November 9, 1898] The Herald announces that the Democratic Party had won the elections. Pres[iden]t L. Snow’s Democratic Headquarters, Cha[rle]s W. Penrose’s & St. Car. Co’s. At the last place chatted with Hon. AW McCune and explained that tomorrow three notes of $500 each signed by Richard W. Young, Cha[rle]s W. Penrose and Benj.

Intersecting with this, says Anthony, is hidden prostitution. “There’s this grey area where people don’t identify as a sex worker – this unspoken thing of ‘drugs is the currency we’re using for me to do things to you that you’re only doing for the drugs.’” As well as people who otherwise would not sell themselves being paid with drugs, straightforward money-for-sex transactions arise, especially for chemsex users in poverty, like Anthony. “I got into a conversation [on a dating app] with a guy asking if I wanted to come over and he would pay me £600 to host a sex party,” he says. The man was a banker. “I said, ‘No, I’m not an escort.’ This went on for an hour and then I was just like, ‘fuck it’. So he sent a Mercedes to pick me up. I went to this luxurious penthouse apartment.” “He got us so high,” he says. “He didn’t like escorts, and this is telling: He liked picking on people who he knew would need the cash but who aren’t seasoned enough to know the tricks [of the trade].” In this scenario, every notion of personal agency is removed. “There are certain things, which when sober you would be empowered enough to say no to, but when you’re high and someone is pushing for that and you’re at his pleasure and it’s his drugs, then you do end up doing them.” He sets the scene of that particular party: “This fat old dude with loads of money – he was the only one wearing a T-shirt because he was so fat, but no pants – was going round shovelling drugs and G into people in the hope that someone would go a bit squiffy and he could swoop in. The guys were basically bait.” The host would subject young men to a particular line of questioning that disturbed Anthony. “He would say, ‘Tell me about the first time you had sex,’ which obviously would be when you’re younger, but he would push the boundaries of that and ask about my family and my nephews and be like, ‘Does your nephew ever touch your dick?’”
2010 - An Improved Internet The National Science Foundation is funding a program to develop a re-design of the next-generation Internet, creating a new network that will be suitable for years to come. It is called the Global Environment for Networking Investigations (GENI). The new Internet will focus on security as its main concern. It is expected to be able to handle the increase in Internet traffic expected as more people come online, and also be geared for the increase in content-delivery demands as more video and other large-scale projects are made available online. The development got under way in August 2005 when the U.S. government provided six small planning grants to the National Science Foundation to begin the project. Internet pioneers support the NSF idea; Leonard Kleinrock said it must be built to handle the boom in internet demands from sources other than computers, such as cellular phones, GPS/RFID-type tracking and hand-held organizers; David Clark, a senior research scientist at the Laboratory for Computer Science at MIT, said while the turn-of-the-century internet is operating at an acceptable level, "There are some things where you say, 'That doesn't work right.'" He said he expects this project will go beyond current efforts such as IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), which would only incrementally improve the internet. Goals for the GENI initiative include new naming, addressing and identity architectures for the internet; advanced security architecture; a design built to handle a great deal more material at faster rates; traffic documentation; and new applications and services. The NSF announcement said GENI will "enable the vision of pervasive computing and bridge the gap between the physical and virtual worlds by including mobile, wireless and sensor networks." 2010 - RFID/GPS Can Track Anything Radio-frequency identification detectors are already in heavy use today, but by 2010 they will be even more ubiquitous, woven invisibly into everything everywhere. As of 2006 companies were using RFID in: ID cards to track employees at work; pre-paid passes that record usage and deduct payments at mass-transit systems and tollbooths; tags that monitor student attendance and location in some schools; tracking of shipments of goods and delivery of services. Global positioning systems (GPS) allow the calculation of the exact position of anything anywhere in the world. By 2006, these were being incorporated in car-safety systems and in cellular phones, making the devices tools by which people can be tracked and located.

He didn't get to do any of the things he wanted to do. He wanted to trade a couple of picks to get back into the first round to get Paxton Lynch. He wanted to trade up to get Connor Cook, the quarterback from Michigan State, and he wanted to make that deal. He didn't get any of those done, which seems pretty remarkable to me that Jerry couldn't do that.
Put frankly, KT just didn’t have depth beyond Zest and Stats, meaning that when the games got to the ace match, they could only depend on Zest, who suffered 2-5 in ace situations. While there probably were problems in Ryu Won’s coaching of the team, it was pretty clear that the team as a whole could not hope to break past the top 4 without a reliable third man, which they never found.Finally, the last point in Ryu Won’s favor as a coach was his development skill. Multiple players have credited Ryu Won with increasing their skill and gameplay, including sOs, Soulkey, Woongjin Stars, SlayerS and most notably MMA.The final coach is Kim Min-Ki. He was the coach for the STX lineup and led them, along with INnoVation, to their first and only Proleague title before the team’s dissolution. Much like Ryu Won, he was great at picking line-ups, but instead of having two stars, he just had one super-ace in INnoVation. Despite having a super ace, it rarely got to ace matches for STX and when it did, INnoVation would more often than not clean up. Perhaps his greatest claim to fame is that he developed every single player on his roster. His A-team roster included: INnoVation, Dear, Trap, Classic and hyvaa, four out of five of whom became champions and three of whom became GSL champions. And while teams have every once in awhile raised a player or two to championship contender level (Dark and Dream come to mind in 2015), rarely have so many come out of one coach, which speaks volumes to his scouting and development of them.
(Jay Johnson)—Chuck is Burt Campbell's son by his first marriage. A ventriloquist, he is always accompanied by Bob, his dummy and alter ego. The pair dress alike and are always referred to as "Chuck and Bob". While Chuck is mild-mannered, introverted, and polite, Bob is aggressive, rude and abrasive. All of the main characters with the exception of Benson and Saunders find themselves conversing with or referring to Bob as a real person, even in the face of fierce determination not to. Also, the dummy was often threatened with or has been the target of physical violence by nearly everyone, due to its obnoxiousness. Danny Dallas (Ted Wass)—Mary Campbell's eldest son. Sweet-natured, good-looking but not particularly bright, he is a low-level gangster due to his late father's membership, not due to any aptitude or desire of his own. He is given the task of killing his stepfather, Burt, but can't bring himself to do so, and as a result spends most of Season 1 on the run, popping up in ludicrous disguises. It is widely assumed that he is the son of Mary's first husband Johnny Dallas but in later episodes it is revealed that his real father is Chester Tate: born from his relationship with Mary, before marrying her sister, Jessica, which their mother had arranged. Danny is very protective of his younger half-brother Jodie, but is initially in denial about Jodie's homosexuality. Danny is forced to marry Elaine, the mob boss's daughter, to save his own life. He eventually falls in love with her before she was later kidnapped and fatally shot. Danny later gets involved in a series of failed relationships, including a girlfriend of one of Elaine's kidnappers, Millie, an African-American woman (Polly Dawson), a prostitute (Gwen), and Chester's new wife (Annie). When Chester finds them [ clarification needed ] in bed together, he plans to shoot them both (this was a series cliffhanger). [ why? ] Danny also becomes Burt's enthusiastic but inept deputy sheriff.
The focus on Charles Dawson as the main forger is supported by the accumulation of evidence regarding other archaeological hoaxes he perpetrated in the decade or two before the Piltdown discovery. The archaeologist Miles Russell of Bournemouth University analysed Dawson's antiquarian collection, and determined that at least 38 of his specimens were fakes. [17][18] Among these were the teeth of a reptile/mammal hybrid, Plagiaulax dawsoni, "found" in 1891 (and whose teeth had been filed down in the same way that the teeth of Piltdown Man were to be some 20 years later); the so-called "shadow figures" on the walls of Hastings Castle; a unique hafted stone axe; the Bexhill boat (a hybrid seafaring vessel); the Pevensey bricks (allegedly the latest datable "finds" from Roman Britain); the contents of the Lavant Caves (a fraudulent "flint mine"); the Beauport Park "Roman" statuette (a hybrid iron object); the Bulverhythe Hammer (shaped with an iron knife in the same way as the Piltdown elephant bone implement would later be); a fraudulent "Chinese" bronze vase; the Brighton "Toad in the Hole" (a toad entombed within a flint nodule); the English Channel sea serpent; the Uckfield Horseshoe (another hybrid iron object) and the Lewes Prick Spur. Of his antiquarian publications, most demonstrate evidence of plagiarism or at least naive referencing, Russell wrote: "Piltdown was not a 'one-off' hoax, more the culmination of a life's work. "[19] In addition, Harry Morris, an acquaintance of Dawson, had come into possession of one of the flints obtained by Dawson at the Piltdown gravel pit. He suspected that it had been artificially aged – "stained by C. Dawson with intent to defraud". He remained deeply suspicious of Dawson for many years to come, though he never sought to discredit him publicly, possibly because it would have been an argument against the eolith theory, which Morris strongly supported.

On March 10, 2011 Romney donated 19,799 shares of Warner Chilcott (with a market value of approximately $ 450,000) to a non-profit association of his son, The Tyler Foundation. This avoided Romney taxation in the United States. Gifts of shares to designated non-profit organizations are excluded from capital gains tax. Moreover, the gift tax deductible.By making use of the so-called participation exemption in the Netherlands and Luxembourg do Bain dividends and capital gains to avoid the proceeds of his shares safely bring in tax haven Cayman Islands. The participation exemption means that the profit from a shareholding of more than 5 percent is not taxed in the Netherlands. Netherlands is partly why an attractive location for holding companies of multinationals and financial funds. "We are world champions participation exemption ', says Jos Peters, tax specialist at Merlyn.In the United States, Mitt Romney for months under fire from the media and his political opponents of the Democratic Party on the limited amount of his tax payments. The criticism forced Romney in September about the tax paid by him to reveal. It was already known that he benefits from tax ingenious shortcuts through the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and Luxembourg.Netherlands came in that list not yet. Wrongly, it turns out.Netherlands came rather as attractive tax junction in the news around include the shortcut tax of U.S. coffee chain Starbucks, which in England was great indignation.goggle translate: 219 Tweet
DVD preserves better than VHS tapes Again, this is mostly a lie. Any parent who has young children and a collection of Disney VHS movies knows that those things can be watched a dozen times of day for three years straight without showing any appreciable wear. Yes, the digital nature of DVD means that the encoded bits will never "wear out", but VHS movies rarely "wear out", either. In fact, movie damage is a far greater concern with DVD than it is with VHS tapes. A DVD is the same physical size as a compact disc, but a double-layer DVD can fit up to fourteen times the amount of data that a CD can hold. Those of you with CD players will certainly be familiar with the effect that scratches can have on your music. Even the smallest scratch can make your CD skip and generate annoying popping noises during playback. Well, how do you think that same scratch will affect a DVD .. a piece of media that has fourteen times the amount of information on it? A single tiny scratch will destroy a DVD forever. There's a lot of data on a DVD, but the downside is that the bits must be stored so close together that any imperfection at all will ruin the entire movie. When you take a DVD out of its case and load it into your player, the only way you're going to give that movie a fighting chance to last more than a month or two is to treat it as a brain surgeon treats a scalpel during a tricky operation. There is no reason that home theater has to be this inconvenient and clumsy. VHS tapes, on the other hand, are virtually impossible to destroy. If a part of the tape gets dirty or crinkeled, you may have to put up with a few lines of static for a few seconds, but that's it. Unlike a DVD, it is not possible to easily destroy an entire movie, since doing so would require you to destroy an extended length of magnetic tape. Even in severe cases where defective players "eat" the video tape, all that one needs to do is wind the tape back up into the cartridge. Compared to their fragile digital brothers, VHS tapes are invincible.
NEW DELHI: Apprehending increased use of money power and paid news in the forthcoming state elections, chief election commissioner ( CEC ) Nasim Zaidi has requested the Centre to take urgent measures, including considering an ordinance, to designate the malpractices as specific crimes.The EC has recommended the Centre to make distribution of money among voters by candidates, their agents and supporters a cognizable offence under the Criminal Procedure Code so that offenders could be arrested without bail. He suggested hiking the jail term for filing a false affidavit from six months to two years which would bar a candidate from contesting for six years.Such is the dimension of the cash menace that Zaidi suggested enacting a law through the ordinance route.“If there is a will it can be done through ordinance,” he said. Drawing a comparison with booth capturing, which was rampant before 1990, Zaidi said bribery had assumed similar proportions and needed to be dealt with an iron hand. He said the EC was undertaking a clause-byclause review of the Representation of the People Act.The CEC said paid news was another problem. “At present, we determine which news item isand add the expenses incurred to the candidates’ expenses, which is Rs 75 lakh for Lok Sabha elections and Rs 28 lakh for assembly elections. But with most candidates reporting poll expenses that are only 50% of the limit, we need to deal with the problem by making it an offence under the RP Act,” Zaidi said.The CEC saidwas rampant despite candidates being mandated by the Supreme Court in the association of democratic reforms case in 2002 to declare their antecedents relating to crime, education and wealth. “It is a very serious problem,” he said.“But the maximum punishment for filing a false affidavit is only six months. It should be made two years so as to make the candidate filing false affidavit suffer disqualification,” Zaidi said.The CEC also said there were instances from UP and Maharashtra where elected representatives were not unseated, even after conviction and a sentence for over two years, and completed their term as the assemblies concerned did not notify their seats as vacant. “It is a clear violation of the SC judgment.Yet, the EC could do nothing to hold elections since the assembly did not declare their seats vacant,” he said.The EC has asked chief electoral officers of states to collect reports from each political party on the contributions received by them.
China, Russia, and the US divided Korea after World War II The end of World War II did not reduce Korea's importance. It simply eliminated one player, Japan, and introduced a new one, the United States. The American presence in Korea was not actually new, though. The defeat of Japan in World War II ended Japanese hegemony over Korea. The Yalta Conference created a four-power joint government in Korea, but that coalition failed, as did a similar joint government in Berlin. As in Berlin, Korea was divided — with Soviet troops and their Korean supporters occupying the land north of the 38th parallel and the Americans and their Korean supporters occupying the south. The US did not see South Korea as a critical strategic asset, but the Soviets and the Chinese saw an opportunity. The Soviets had suffered a defeat in Berlin when their blockade failed because of the American airlift. They also saw Korea as a threat to Vladivostok should the US regain interest. The Chinese were similarly concerned about a later shift in American interest and wanted to expel the Americans from the peninsula. Again, it was Korean geography that mattered. The North Korean invasion of South Korea in June 1950 took the US by surprise: US intelligence had failed to detect North Korea's act of aggression on the ground. President Harry Truman faced a critical decision. Technically, Korea was not critical to US national security. But Truman calculated that Korea's strategic position would protect Japan, and defending South Korea would make clear that the US would resist open aggression. Truman's decision, made in a weekend, created modern northeast Asia by making the US the guarantor of South Korean national security. War, however, was extremely difficult to wage on the Korean Peninsula. One of the main reasons was the terrain of the Korean Peninsula. It is narrow — about 200 miles wide at its narrowest — and about 500 miles long. It is also covered with very rugged hills. A relatively small force, using the rugged terrain cleverly, can hold off a larger force, retreating slowly and inflicting casualties on the attacker, who has to come out from under cover. During temporary positions of surprise or imbalance, it is possible to drive the defender back. But the Korean War showed that, while it is possible to drive the enemy back, it is not possible to simply wipe it out.

I have had two masters. My first master's name was Anthony. I do not remember his first name. He was generally called Captain Anthony—a title which, I presume, he acquired by sailing a craft on the Chesapeake Bay. He was not considered a rich slaveholder. He owned two or three farms, and about thirty slaves. His farms and slaves were under the care of an overseer. The overseer's name was Plummer. Mr. Plummer was a miserable drunkard, a profane swearer, and a savage monster. He always went armed with a cowskin and a heavy cudgel. I have known him to cut and slash the women's heads so horribly, that even master would be enraged at his cruelty, and would threaten to whip him if he did not mind himself. Master, however, was not a humane slaveholder. It required extraordinary barbarity on the part of an overseer to affect him. He was a cruel man, hardened by a long life of slaveholding. He would at times seem to take great pleasure in whipping a slave. I have often been awakened at the dawn of day by the most heart-rending shrieks of an own aunt of mine, whom he used to tie up to a joist, and whip upon her naked back till she was literally covered with blood. No words, no tears, no prayers, from his gory victim, seemed to move his iron heart from its bloody purpose. The louder she screamed, the harder he whipped; and where the blood ran fastest, there he whipped longest. He would whip her to make her scream, and whip her to make her hush; and not until overcome by fatigue, would he cease to swing the blood-clotted cowskin. I remember the first time I ever witnessed this horrible exhibition. I was quite a child, but I well remember it. I never shall forget it whilst I remember any thing. It was the first of a long series of such outrages, of which I was doomed to be a witness and a participant. It struck me with awful force. It was the blood-stained gate, the entrance to the hell of slavery, through which I was about to pass. It was a most terrible spectacle. I wish I could commit to paper the feelings with which I beheld it.
""I lifted him up and put him in my lap," Leifheit says.But the rescue was far from over. To his horror, Leifheit found that Tristan had no pulse. "I used the tree as a backboard and started chest compressions," Leifheit says.Tristan had been without air for so long that his body struggled to respond. "He bottomed out on me a few times," Leifheit says, "but he revived. "Rescue crews arrived to relieve Leifheit. A paramedic propped a ladder against the tree and climbed up to the branch.The paramedic found no pulse. He adjudged Tristan dead. "I said, 'No way!' " Leifheit says. "I went back to work. His heart started beating again. "Leifheit and Tow carefully draped Tristan over the paramedic's shoulder. The paramedic then carried Tristan down the ladder to a waiting ambulance. Tristan was whisked to a hospital, where he was placed in a medically induced coma.Forty-eight hours later, Tristan awakened to find his greatly relieved 14-year-old brother and legal dependent, Dartanian, sitting watch at his hospital bedside. "We had a long talk about what happened," Dartanian tells PEOPLE. "It knocked some sense into him. I'm glad he's better. ""I wasn't there, mentally," Tristan says of that night. "This has been a wake-up. I'm glad the Marine was there and did what he did. ""He didn't have to help," Dartanian says of Leifheit. "When I saw him, I just gave him a big hug. ""It was so honorable and so respectable," says Tow. "The sergeant is a hero." "This is just me being human," Leifheit says. "You would have done the same thing. If you're physically capable of doing something to save someone, you do it. What I did was not a heroic act." Dartanian believes otherwise. "He saved my brother. If my brother was gone, I don't know where I'd be. I don't know what would happen to me. I don't know what I'd do without him."

The associations between green tea drinking habits and breast cancer risk are presented for the total study population and stratified by menopausal status (Table 3). Compared with nondrinkers, regular drinking of green tea was associated with a significant, 12% lower risk for breast cancer (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.79–0.98). The pattern was similar for both pre- or postmenopausal women, although the result was no longer significant among postmenopausal women (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.74–1.04). Among premenopausal women, there was no relationship between age drinking began and breast cancer. However, among postmenopausal women and in the total study population, an older age of initiation was associated with decreased risk of breast cancer (OR, 0.75, 95% CI, 0.57–0.99; OR, 0.80, 95% CI, 0.65–0.98 for age of initiation of ≥41 y vs. nondrinkers, respectively). Years of drinking was associated with decreased risk among premenopausal women (P-trend = 0.02), whereas only green tea drinking for <6 y was associated with a significantly reduced risk among postmenopausal women (OR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.43–0.87). Three separate measures of usual dose of tea consumption were evaluated. The amount of dry tea leaves consumed per month showed a trend toward a decreased risk of breast cancer among premenopausal women (P-trend = 0.046) although not in the highest level of intake. Among postmenopausal women, only women with either the lowest or 2nd greatest intake of tea leaves were at a reduced risk of breast cancer (P < 0.05). Compared with nondrinkers, a preference for heavy brew was associated with a borderline reduced risk for breast cancer in the total study population (P-trend = 0.02) and, particularly, for premenopausal women (P-trend = 0.01). Risk was also inversely related to frequency of leaf changes in premenopausal women (P-trend = 0.03). We evaluated soy and folate intakes as effect modifiers of the green tea and breast cancer association and did not find any evidence that either of these factors was an effect modifier in this population (data not shown).
NEW DELHI: On way to AIIMS on Monday evening after she took ill in Parliament, Sonia Gandhi was more bothered about her express convoy jumping traffic lights than quickly reaching the VVIP medical facility at the premier hospital.The Congress chief, who returned home on Tuesday after getting an all-clear, also expressed her disappointment at missing the vote on the Food Security Bill after having sat through a lengthy debate despite fever.As her SPG-protected vehicle with Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and social justice and empowerment minister Selja sped towards AIIMS, Sonia seemed concerned about the escort running through a stop signal in its haste to reach the hospital.The Congress president's remarks indicate she might not have been too unwell, but sources said Sonia's insistence on attending Parliament for the food bill debate and vote obviously exacted a toll.A noticeable tremor in her hands when she read her speech on Monday gave away her indisposition which worsened after a medicine she took for a viral condition produced an adverse reaction.Feeling that she may need to leave the Lok Sabha , Sonia beckoned Selja and said she was not well. The Congress chief then walked to parliamentary affairs minister Kamal Nath's office at room number 14 where a doctor was summoned.Earlier, Sonia had taken a short break but came back to the House to vote once on an amendment despite experiencing a strong nausea.On Tuesday, Congress was quick to point to her commitment to the food bill, with spokesperson Bhakt Charan Das saying the "good wishes" of the poor would certainly have been with her.The doctor who examined Sonia in Nath's office found her blood pressure to be normal and suggested she go home and rest. But it was then felt a check up might be in order given her unease.It was when Sonia was walked out of the main Parliament building after having a lime drink that she seemed to lose her footing, perhaps due to a bout of light-headedness, and clutched Selja's arm.The stumble alerted TV crews and photographers to something being amiss and the flash bulbs made Sonia conscious of the media attention.
For instance, in the 20- to 25-year-old age bracket, the percentage of young women living at home rose between 1988 and 1993 from 39% to 67%, and the percentage of young men rose from 71% to 100%: not a single man in his early 20s lived independently of his parents by 1993. That obviously contributed to the lethal family tensions that exploded in 1994, as I shall explain below. With more young people staying home, the average number of people per farm household increased (between 1988 and 1993) from 4.9 to 5.3, so that the land shortage was even tighter than indicated by the decrease in farm size from 0.89 to 0.72 acre. When one divides decreasing farm area by increasing number of people in the household, one finds that each person was living off of only one-fifth of an acre in 1988, declining to one-seventh of an acre in 1993. Not surprisingly, it proved impossible for most people in Kanama to feed themselves on so little land. Even when measured against the low calorie intake considered adequate in Rwanda, the average household got only 77% of its calorie needs from its farm. The rest of its food had to be bought with income earned off the farm, at jobs such as carpentry, brick-making, sawing wood, and trade. Two-thirds of households held such jobs, while one-third didn't. The percentage of the population consuming less than 1,600 calories per day (i.e., what is considered below the famine level) was 9% in 1982, rising to 40% in 1990 and some unknown higher percentage thereafter. All of these numbers that I have quoted so far for Kanama are average numbers, which conceal inequalities. Some people owned larger farms than others, and that inequality increased from 1988 to 1993. Let's define a "very big" farm as larger than 2.5 acres, and a "very small" farm as smaller than 0.6 acre. (Think back to Chapter 1 to appreciate the tragic absurdity of those numbers: I mentioned there that in Montana a 40-acre farm used to be considered necessary to support a family, but even that is now inadequate.) Both the percentage of very big farms and the percentage of very small farms increased between 1988 and 1993, from 5 to 8% and from 36 to 45% respectively. That is, Kanama farm society was becoming increasingly [322] divided between the rich haves and the poor have-nots, with decreasing numbers of people in the middle.

Bad news for the world’s favourite search engine. On Tuesday, the Indian tax office gained an upper hand in its six-year-long battle with Google India in a ruling that would set a precedence for some of the other multinational companies.The rift owes its origin to the arrangement and fund flow between Google India and the global giant’s office in Ireland — a jurisdiction known for its lax tax rules.When the income-tax (I-T) department in Bengaluru noticed that for years Google India had been routinely remitting a chunk of the advertisement revenue generated from India to Google Ireland , it put a question mark on the transactions.According to the tax office, since no tax was deducted by Google India while remitting funds to Google Ireland, it was a clear case of tax evasion.Google India contested the claim, coming out with a barrage of arguments in six appeals pertaining to the assessment years 2007-08 to 2012-13. All the appeals were dismissed on Tuesday by the Income-Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) which said, “…the intention of the assessee (Google India) as well as of the GIL (Google Ireland) is clear and conspicuous that they wanted to avoid the payment of taxes in India. That is why, despite the duty of the assessee to deduct the tax at the time of payment to GIL, no tax was deducted nor any permission was sought for paying the amount (sic).”Google India now stares at a tax demand on Rs 1,457 crore — the total amount that it had remitted to Google Ireland during the period under review.
“I am mother of Emma Redit, who is my third child. My two elder daughters are married [this included Mary Parnall]. Emma is now 23. My husband died in February 1832; he kept a school at Grundisburgh 26 years. Defendant’s family had lived at Grundisburgh 30 years; we were intimate. Mr Lucock’s family consisted of a daughter and son. Mr Lucock [father] died in July 1831. Defendant was a scholar at my husband’s school, he was about 13 years old when he left. Defendant continued to live at the house where his father died. Mrs Grimwood (defendant’s sister) died about the end of last year. Defendant’s [Lucock] visits were frequent at my house about February and March 1831. We considered him as the intended husband of Emma. He came there much more frequently than he had previously done; and he paid more marked attentions to my daughter. He took her to Woodbridge Theatre, with her younger sister. My daughter was much attached to the defendant. [Note in the newspaper’s account: Letters were put in [to court] and identified as being in the handwriting of the defendant]. One day my daughter said she should like a letter on a plain piece of paper better than one he had given her; and he gave her another letter in which he promised to make her his wife. At that time and afterwards he was received in [the] witness’s family as her daughter’s future husband. Witness heard defendant say, he should not have a house to seek for, as he had one, and an income. He said the house was left in his father’s will to him (this was before his father’s death). He said rather more than half the property was coming to him. The latter part of March, defendant’s visits became less frequent. (Another letter was then put in [to court] and read, in which the defendant apologized for omitting to perform some engagement). When his visits were less frequent, I called a third time on Mrs Grimwood; it was not till I called a third time on Mrs Grimwood that I saw the defendant. I than asked him what he meant by not paying his visits to my daughter, as he promised; he had promised to take her to the theatre. I asked him why had had not answered my daughter’s two notes. He said, he never intended to come or to answer any notes.
The domain was registered in August, 2008 by Zack Christenson, a dweeby Twitter Republican and producer for a popular Chicago rightwing radio host Milt Rosenberg—a familiar name to Obama campaign people. Last August, Rosenberg, who looks like Martin Short’s Irving Cohen character, caused an outcry when he interviewed Stanley Kurtz, the conservative writer who first “exposed” a personal link between Obama and former Weather Undergound leader Bill Ayers. As a result of Rosenberg’s radio interview, the Ayers story was given a major push through the Republican media echo chamber, culminating in Sarah Palin’s accusation that Obama was “palling around with terrorists.” That Rosenberg’s producer owns the “chicagoteaparty.com” site is already weird—but what’s even stranger is that he first bought the domain last August, right around the time of Rosenburg’s launch of the “Obama is a terrorist” campaign. It’s as if they held this “Chicago tea party” campaign in reserve, like a sleeper-site. Which is exactly what it was.
You traverse the lawn with a couple of beers, popping one open as you hand it to him. “Thanks, George,” he mumbles. “It’s okay, Nelson. It wasn’t my cat anyway. I hate cats,” you reply. “Me too,” he cries. “Me too. I can’t fucking stand them.” “I can’t fucking stand them,” you repeat. “I can’t fucking stand them, either.”
But he opted to send a statement via his publicist: "From its inception, 'Family Guy' has used biting satire as the foundation of its humor. The show is an "equal-opportunity offender. "Perhaps he was concerned his reply would be longer than the scene in question.
View full resolution Click for larger view Table 1. WALS values for shared features between Gitksan and Nisǥa’a. Does this mean that grammar-mining is irremediably flawed? Not necessarily, if certain precautionary measures are taken. Most obviously, the mistakes we have highlighted could have been corrected by asking for clarification from the authors of the grammars themselves. Even if this were impossible, consulting areal specialists with the knowledge and background to interpret the grammars of a particular sprachbund or language family would achieve the same result. And failing even this, WALS could at least use a more effective self-correction mechanism, whereby feedback is encouraged and promptly followed up on.4 Any of these moves would involve some loss of control on behalf of the authors, preferably in favor of a ‘crowd-sourcing’ model more akin to that of Wikipedia. However, the fact is that the sheer scale of an enterprise such as WALS is already beyond [End Page e131] the capacity of two authors to effectively monitor, and WALS would benefit in increased accuracy and scope from a more open and collaborative approach, facilitated by the rapid propagation of information made possible by an online format.5 There is another advantage to online dissemination: a greatly expanded capacity to handle both depth and breadth, rather than sacrificing one for the other. Because of this, there is really no need for Dryer, for example, to have to fit a complex set of coding decisions into a couple of pages, as he ruefully reports: ‘The authors of WALS chapters had only two pages in which to discuss various aspects of their typology, and I was forced to discuss my criteria for identifying definite and indefinite articles rather briefly’ (Dryer 2014:e233). Why? A more useful editorial decision would be to allow authors to provide full justifications for their coding (as Dryer does in his response to us, discussed immediately below). Given the virtually unlimited space available for online contributions, we can see no practical reason why this should be impossible, and it would surely also avoid many of the misunderstandings that both Dryer and Haspel-math report in the responses to WALS chapters (see n. 5), and therefore greatly improve the accuracy of feedback. 4.2. D ryer on definiteness: the case of s k w x wú7mesh articles 6 In this section, we examine in more detail Dryer’s response to our critique of his WALS chapter (Ch.
Instead, Sumail’s jungle party gets crashed before it ever started, and not surprisingly, his team is too far away to help. This kind of mini-trade off happens all the time in high level games: EG intelligently had pushed out bottom lane far beforehand, meaning that VG need to somewhat telegraph their intentions. This gives EG time to extract more resources from the map before any potential battle. However, VG found another hole in the accepted mentality to exploit. Had say, only 1 hero been showing in bottom, EG would have been far more vigilant and stuck together.The best part is, not only did the smoke kill Sumail, but VG’s other 3 heroes effortlessly killed the bottom tower as well. Due to the diversion in the dire jungle, the 3 heroes accomplished what it would normally have required 4-5, with a key Shadow Fiend kill on top. This is a great example of how the best teams in dota find creative ways to get more value from ordinary situations than one might think, and how dota strategy subtly evolves.Of course anyone can think of a plan that entails “fake right, go left” but it’s a very different thing to actually execute in Dota. The enormous number of variables and non-compliant opponents makes it extraordinarily difficult to materialize with any consistency. In this case so many little things had to be just right to make it happen: a key dire bottom plateau observer ward and dire jungle ward spotted out the EG dispositions, and the Chinese team had to split up their forces very early. EG needed to be lulled into a false sense of security by the grouping bottom, and iceiceice+Fenrir had to be in position well before the opportunity showed in order to make it possible. The fact that VG can regularly do this is why they are so special.In addition to predicting enemy movements towards a battle site, VG also are skilled at profiting from the maximization mentality of carries. Ordinarily, a carry will not expose themselves remotely near a tower if the primary enemy initiator has a TP and is off the map, as the risk is simply too high. The one exception to this is when the foe is pushing as 5, as then their initiator(s) must remain with his team to keep them safe.
Consider for example the steady increase in the rate of mental disorders that I discussed in my letter of 11/23/04. It seems almost certain that this increase is in some way an outgrowth of technological progress, since the entire lifestyle of modern man is essentially determined by his technology. But no one knows specifically why the rate of mental disorders has been increasing. My personal opinion is that the high rate of depression has a great deal to do with deprivation with respect to the power process,122 but even if I’m right that still leaves a great deal unanswered, e.g., in regard to mania and anxiety disorders. Again, it is believed that the rate of mortality due to cancer has increased by a factor of more than ten since the late 19th century,123 and that this is not a result merely of the aging of the population. This too is almost certainly in some way an outcome of the technoindustrial lifestyle, but, while some causes of cancer are known, the reason for the overall massive increase in the incidence of this disease is still a mystery. 5. Even where a problem can be solved, the solution itself often is offensive to human dignity. For example, because the causes of depression, mania and attention-deficit disorder either are unknown or cannot be removed without excessive cost to the system, these problems are “solved” by giving the patients drugs. So the system makes people sick by subjecting them to conditions that are not fit for human beings to live in, and then it restores their ability to function by feeding them drugs. To me, this is a colossal insult to human dignity. 6. Where a problem is of long standing, people may fail to realize even that there is a problem, because they have never known anything better. I’ve already suggested something like this in regard to stress. See my letter of 5/19/04. 7. Some problems are insoluble because of the very nature of modern technology. For example, the transfer of power from individuals and small groups to large organizations is inevitable in a technological society for several reasons, one of which is that many essential operations in the functioning of the technological system can be carried out only by large organizations.
From this point on the Zealot is set in cement. The covert Jesus, "Jesus the man," hard at work hiding in plain sight before his inquisitors, as well as his followers, is a creature arisen from the ready-to-boil-over stew of the messianic, nationalist, and factionalized Roman client-state of Israel. He is now clearly just another "bandit," leading an insurrection against the Jewish establishment, its Roman overseer, and "property" in general. Aslan deploys a fairly conventional Marxist-flavored analysis of Jewish society, economy, and class in the first century C.E. To arrive at his revolutionary destiny, Jesus is born in the dirt-poor farming hamlet of Nazareth, a forgotten, forsaken, pitiful congregation of a few mud huts where no carpenter (Jesus' gospel-assigned profession) could have practiced; a place where learning could not have possibly taken place because we know (or suspect) that most people in such places were illiterate. Aslan's argument begins with the infelicitous phrase, "The trouble with Nazareth" — a colloquial faux-academic turning up of the nose, which is ironically corrected when Aslan forgives Luke the odd assertion that Jesus "the Nazarene" was actually born in Bethlehem. Luke's rebirthing of Jesus is for the (later) purpose of harmonizing him with the prophecy of Isaiah that the Messiah is going to be born in Bethlehem. Reza Aslan gives Luke a pass on spinning the place of Jesus' birth because Jesus was for Luke "the eternal logos from whom creation sprang [...] swaddled in a filthy manger in Bethlehem," and not the "historical" Jesus who should be looked for "in the crumbling mud and loose brick homes tucked within the windswept hamlet of Nazareth." What's the difference, you might ask, between the authorized "filthy manger" and the "windswept [...] loose brick [...] of Nazareth?" Both are equally disregarded on maps and both socially wretched. What is the problem with Nazareth? Small, but not insignificant. Nazareth is more proletarian, more alienated. Bethlehem is more prosperous, farm-rich. In other words, if you are the Jesus about to come from this book, you must let people think that you are from a place profligate with metaphors (farming), not a severe (noir) slum that alone (and secretly) guarantees (through its lack of poetic fancy) the rigor of a true revolutionary.
—As Coombs ( 1978 ) pointed out, ankylosaurs are a conservative group with limited morphological diversity. In this light, Vickaryous and Russell's ( 2003 ) statement that Euoplocephalus has a distinctive pattern of plates ornamenting the preorbital snout might be reworded to say that all specimens that have been referred to Euoplocephalus have a pattern more similar to one another than to other known ankylosaurids. However, a new ankylosaurid from the Upper Campanian of New Mexico also has a Euoplocephalus -like scale pattern ( Sullivan et al., 2013 ), and Talarurus plicatospineus Maleev, 1952 has a similar mosaic of small osteoderms instead of the larger, bulbous ones seen in Saichania , Tarchia , Tianzhenosaurus , and Nodocephalosaurus . Moreover, there are notable differences among specimens that have been referred to Euoplocephalus ( Penkalski 2001 ). Although Oohkotokia horneri shares many characters with E. tutus , many of those characters are common to most or all derived ankylosaurines. The lack of a large median nasal osteoderm or plate on the skull roof is rare in ankylosaurines. The vast majority have a prominent sagittal osteoderm (nasal plate; Fig. 2 ), typically situated just caudal to two bilaterally symmetric, subrectangular or strap-like plates that border the external nares. Regarding CMN 8530 ( Anodontosaurus ), Sternberg ( 1929 : 29) wrote that the nasal plate is “not conspicuously larger than the others” around it. However, that specimen is badly crushed, and although the plate is smaller than in E. tutus , it is still conspicuous, as noted by Vickaryous and Russell ( 2003 ). Interestingly, other skulls from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation (AMNH 5223, ROM 832, TMP 97.59.1) also have a relatively small median nasal plate; in ROM 832, it is particularly small (<50 mm) —truly no larger than the osteoderms around it, as in Oohkotokia . In contrast, the Maastrichtian Ankylosaurus has the most prominent nasal plate of any known ankylosaurid, larger even than that of E. tutus . Unless this character was unusually plastic, we should expect to find another new ankylosaurid taxon in the late Campanian —early Maastrichtian of North America —one with a prominent nasal plate. Significantly, all skulls from the Dinosaur Park Formation have prominent nasal plates.
From the point of view of consumer, a business owner, and really, of a human for that matter, this sounds like Shirry was taking responsibility for her work and trying to do a good job. So it's pretty messed up that rather than allowing Shirry to do the right thing, the reviewer just turns up her nose and says "too bad." I know I'm a douche, but that reviewer has me beat by a mile. I feel that it is extremely rare to find a person that is as creative and hardworking as Shirry. You can also see when she's rolling out the new rug, or matching paint colors and fabrics, the Shirry really loves and enjoys her work (in spite of us jerks getting on her case from time to time). Having worked with her on a few projects over a number of years, I've been able to see her develop as a designer. And I'm actually looking forward to seeing what she comes up with for us in a few years when we need her services again. I do feel that a perfect rating should be reserved for a designer that completely challenges the genre and creates a place in design history for him or herself. Someone like Philippe Starck, or Dorothy Draper, or Petra Blaisse. I don't think Shirry is quite there yet, but if she were, we definitely wouldn't be able to afford her. Nonetheless, I wouldn't be surprised if she did happen to make it there someday. Highly recommend!!! Keep up the good work Shirry...
Most importantly, this result indicates that removing excess striatal D2Rs by turning the transgene off impacts behavior in a way that blocking D2Rs ubiquitously does not and implies that there is a distinct functional difference between receptor number and receptor mediated activity.

THAT SAID, Zapman still lead the game in player damage, quietly sneaking his way to over 13 thousand in that category.Cognitive brought zero tanks to this fight. It seems like COG's plan was to outnuke Dignitas, but I could be wrong; the team setup was so unconventional that the intention wasn't really clear. Trying to go against the meta didn't really work out, and it was a quick, unfortunate loss for Cognitive Gaming. Set to a disadvantage early due to what seemed like lane confusion, a lane swap here or there set Cognitive back by 4k gold early on, and Dignitas was just able to take care of business. Ra had an AMAZING ult through the jungle to land a kill, which will almost certainly be featured in top 5 plays. Look forward to this weeks episode for it. ***It was very refreshing to see some new-old Gods come out and get played. Zapman experimented with some Artemis and some Cupid, two carries we haven't seen around the competitive scene in a while, if at all. We didn't get to see much Hercules, because he's scary enough for every team to want to ban him. Hel, although getting a decent amount of EU play, almost never gets any play in the NA scene, and Omega did work piloting her. Great sustain and a reliable team heal makes her such a powerful teammate. With PAX coming up, it'll be interesting to see which of these experiments make it out of the weeklys and onto the larger stages, but either way it's nice to see some things shaking up the God selection. Tons more excitement next week, tune in at noon on TwitchTV on Saturday to catch all the action live!
A common offender here is Carp , which places a carp function into another module's namespace; this function will show up in a list like the one above, without even an "inherited from" note, even though it is not a method and it does not make sense to call it on an object at all. Even when the items in the list really are methods, they may be undocumented, internal-use-only methods, and may disappear in future versions of the YAML module. But even with all these warnings, Help is at least a partial solution to the problem. The real reason for this article is to present the code for Help.pm , not because the module is so intrinsically useful itself, but because it is almost a catalog of weird-but-useful Perl module hackery techniques. A full and detailed tour of this module's 30 lines of code would probably make a decent 60- or 90-minute class for intermediate Perl programmers who want to become wizards. (I have given many classes on exactly that topic.) Here's the code: package Help; use Carp 'croak'; sub import { my ($selfclass, @classes) = @_; for my $class (@classes) { push @{"$class\::ISA"}, $selfclass; } } sub AUTOLOAD { my ($bottom_class, $method) = $AUTOLOAD =~ /(.)::(. )/; my %known_method; my @classes = ($bottom_class); while (@classes) { my $class = shift @classes; next if $class eq __PACKAGE__; unshift @classes, @{"$class\::ISA"}; for my $name (keys %{"$class\::"}) { next unless defined &{"$class\::$name"}; $known_method{$name} \|\|= $class; } } warn "Unknown method '$method' called on object of class $bottom_class
As more research is done on the human genome and more people seek genetic testing, researchers, physicians, genetic counselors and ethicists are struggling with the issues of how to present the new information to patients and whether certain findings should be presented at all. A paper published Monday in the leading journal Pediatrics tackles a controversial discovery that can come out of genetic testing: when a child’s biological parent turns out to be someone else. Whether that occurs through a switch at the hospital, a swap of embryos or sexual infidelity, genetic testing can bring such previously unknown facts to light. No matter the cause, it presents an ethical dilemma for medical professionals and one likely to become more common as genetic testing more more widespread. It has triggered a fierce and complex debate about whether parents — or those who might find out they are not true parents — have a right to know such information. In the Pediatrics paper, ethicists at the University of Pennsylvania argue in favor of letting the parents of patients know that these facts can generally be found in the course of a test but will not be revealed to them. “Because there isn’t a national consensus,” said co-author Autumn Fiester, director of education in the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania, “getting a proactive policy that could prevent the harms that are taking place seemed like an imperative to address.” Without such a policy, Fiester said, after the tests are run, parents might be confronted with being told that there’s something they may need to know about their parentage. “Dangle something like that in front of any human being, and they’re going to be coerced to have that information, even if they will rue the day when they said yes,” she said. Current guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) advise speaking to patients about the issue of incidental findings but do not recommend disclosure or nondisclosure.
Perhaps one of the most critical aspects of cognition involved with multitasking is attention (Gladwin et al., 2012; Boehm-Davis et al., 2015). Colloquially, stimuli that are not attended to cannot be perceived and processed by the brain. To enhance or direct attention to subtasks within a multitask, countermeasures such as caffeine (Lieberman et al., 2002; Smith, 2002; Harvanko et al., 2015) and haptic feedback have been examined (Camden et al., 2015; Sollfrank et al., 2016) with limited success. However, emerging evidence suggests that a neuromodulatory technique known as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can enhance aspects of cognition resulting in improved performance during single task operations. For a review of the tDCS technology and technique, see Wagner et al. (2009) or Nitsche et al. (2009). Stimulation can be given prior to, during, or after participants complete a cognitive task. However, a study conducted by Martin found that applying tDCS during a cognitive task provided superior output performance compared to before the task (Martin et al., 2014). A common stimulation site for augmenting cognitive function via tDCS is the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) which has been associated with working memory, attention, vigilance, planning and reasoning. Anodal tDCS applied over the left or right DLPFC has been previously shown to preserve sustained attention/vigilance performance (i.e., reduce or remove the vigilance decrement), although stimulation over the left also produced a temporary enhancement of performance (McKinley et al., 2012). Follow-on studies evaluated the effects of tDCS over lDLPFC using an electrode montage that placed the cathode over the right shoulder (McIntire et al., 2014; Nelson et al., 2015). Figure 1 provides the specific placements for the anode and cathode. While the cathode is traditionally placed on the scalp, it creates a potential confound due to the fact that cortical excitability is also influenced under this electrode and leads to cognitive effects (Kincses et al., 2004; Penolazzi et al., 2010; Ambrus et al., 2011; Hammer et al., 2011). Hence, moving the cathode off the scalp allows the data to be interpreted in a more straight-forward fashion. The data from McIntire et al. (2014) suggest this extracephalic tDCS montage can initially enhance and then preserve vigilance performance for approximately 6 h (McIntire et al., 2014). In fact, tDCS applied in this manner worked twice as well and three times as long as caffeine. Additionally, the effects were discovered to be robust across tasks and insensitive to small changes in anode position (McKinley et al., 2015).
The Annotated Guide to Robert E. Howard's Sword and Sorcery , by Robert Weinberg. Copyright 1976 by Starmont house. Paper, 152 pp + vii. Out of print. This author, the present owner of all that remains of the classic pulp magazine Weird Tales, has written a comprehensive guide to the Conan, Kull, and Kane stories. He says in his introduction that the guide is intended to serve new readers of Howard's work and of the genre, and to provide some critical commentary in a area of fiction not often examined. The book does this, and more. Weinberg's insights into the meaning, tone, and technique of Howard's work are the opinions of an acute professional writer, who has both the acquired understanding of the genre that a writer in it must have, and the instinctive understanding and affection of one who enjoys the field for its own sake. From his familiarity with the subject matter, Weinberg also provides history and background on the author and his work. Weinberg's format for the examination of each story consists of a character list, followed by an accurate and thoughtful plot summary, followed by comments. This does provide useful information for all new readers of Howard, but Weinberg's comments would be valuable even to readers who knew the stories by heart. Weinberg recognizes and articulates the important underlying mood of epic grimness that plays the light and shadow of fate upon the subject matter of Howard's stories. He calmly identifies what he finds admirable and what he finds predictable or trivial in these pulp adventure stories. And it clearly would please him to find his readers disagreeing with him and thinking for themselves, for part of his purpose is to provoke thought. Weinberg's commentary is confident and competent. He is especially successful in recognizing quotes that illuminate Howard's intent, and that show the nature of his characters. Very good! B+
How to cope with intentional "inconsistencies" aka. histories (master data changes) In principle, SQL should provide tools to compensate for these challenges raised by normalization. Accessing data from many tables should be done using joins and similar operations of SQL. SQL does more than storing and retrieving data in a 1:1 fashion, it provides tools (joins, subqueries, set operations,...) to transform the normalized data into the form that is most suitable for a specific task. This is done intentionally at runtime because the tasks don't need to be known beforehand. The nature of the data, on the other hand, is considered to be static so that storing it an a normalized fashion is valid. This is a very important key concept of the relational model and SQL: The nature of the data doesn't change so that's the way it should be persistent. How you use that data varies widely and does often change over time — hence this has to be done dynamic. This is of course a very regular task so that it makes sense to have a solid tool to make it easy. We call this tool SQL ;) The DRY rule can be accomplished by using views or CTEs but both may hurt performance because the implementations ain't well optimized for that (something that I openly criticize!). Keeping data consistent across many tables is mostly done with the help of constraints. Handling intended "inconsistencies" (histories) was finally covered by SQL:2011: This will allow "AS OF" queries and provide also tools to maintain temporal consistencies (e.g. validity of one row may not overlap with the validity of another row). Arguably, it is pretty poor that it took 40 years or so to come up with a solution for that. And I don't even know when this will be commonly available! I think that part is pretty much true for every system: "the data is very difficult for humans to make sense of in cases of failures" (my emphasis). However, I think you might mean that it is hard to investigate issues because the required data might be spread across several tables. SQL's answer for that is: VIEWs which are basically just stored queries. However, depending on the database band VIEWs might introduce performance issues. That is, however, a limitation of some database bands, not a limitation of SQL or the relational model.
Starfish Facts about their Habitat People who want to learn more starfish facts should also look into the habitat and the areas around the world where starfishes can be found. One key fact that you should definitely know is that starfishes will never survive when not in water. You may see a few of them on the beach but if they do not get into the sea soon, they will have a major electrolyte imbalance within their bodies. This is directly related to the starfish’s More... Regeneration and Self Cloning In general, starfish regenerate by way of a three-stage process. Firstly, the repair stage heals the creature’s exposed wound. This phase is followed by the regenerative stage, in which the body of the echinoderm produces new cells and begins new growth. The final phase is referred to as the advanced regenerative stage, during which significant cell proliferation starts. Growth factors, which are neurally derived, determine the processes responsible for the formation of patterns during the last stage. If anything intervenes More... Starfish Facts on its Importance in Nature A lot of people see starfishes as cute animals by the seashore that you can pick up and take pictures of. But there is actually more to these creatures than just their appearances and colors. Not a lot of people understand starfish facts especially about their contribution to nature. Just like any other animal in the marine kingdom, they contribute a lot in Eco diversity and in keeping the food chain running. Scientists and biologists actually called starfishes as keystone More... Handling Alive Starfish In order to handle a life starfish properly, you need to gently pick it up and not bend or break its arms, which may be somewhat fragile and small on a number of species. Although starfishes are popular for their regeneration capabilities, you must always hold them very cautiously to minimize any possible damage. You have to wrap a moist towel around the starfish or put it in a handy marine environment (a container full of seawater), in case it More... Hunting Techniques Starfish facts indicate that these animals have a generalist diet which means that can eat almost anything from clams and snails to dying fishes. But with the speed of these starfishes on the bottom of the ocean, one would definitely wonder how these animals can catch or hunt their prey. Starfishes begin hunting their prey through their keen senses.
After some prodding, he becomes a Christian in Mexico, and returns home a few days later. He immediately starts lecturing his wife, who for some reason he now calls "Mom" even when they're alone, about her language and her spiritual life. She's not having it, and starts bringing up all of the girls he slept with in the past. (something he still seems to be just a little proud of) He beats Trigg�? ?s ass again, and then his step son gets in trouble at school for kicking other kindergarteners, and Matt instructs him to use his shin next time instead of his toe.Chapter 13This ********** is out of his mind.For some reason he still calls his wife/victim "mom." Dana calls and wants him to coach tuf 2. Matt tells "mom" he's unsure about being away from her for 6 weeks, because he doesn't want to end up like Randy Couture, and leave his long time wife for someone he met while filming tuf. Where does this dude get off airing Randy's dirty laundry??? "Mom" then assures him that he's no Randy Couture. I would also like to take this time to personally reassure him that he is no Randy Couture. And who the hell worries about leaving their wife if they can't see them for 6 weeks. What the **?He also takes time to tell us that everything about Randy "radiated decency....except for his actions." What the hell is going on here?He also tells Dana that he WILL NOT CUSS on the show. He will apparently do it in his book thoughHe next proceeds to forget his 6 year old step son is with him at the tuf training facility, and drives away leaving him there for over an hour.Later he can't believe a guy has the balls to ask for his autograph while he and "mom" are eating, and regrets to this day that he signed it.He talks about filming the country breakfast commercial.Later while training at MFS, some young fighter from TUF who is now training at Miletich has the nerve to come up and talk to him after practice like they're on the same level. Hughes is completely pissed that this nobody thinks he is worthy to talk to him, but because he's a Christian he's decides he must be nice to the kid.Matt then does a complete 180 and says maybe he was a little judgemental of Randy. A little?
The data gathered from the Animal Internet answer these questions. They produce a new image of nature. This image truly takes on form when considered within the context of a parallel development that began with the Information Age and continues to revolutionize our perspective on society. The concept we have of the structure of society has changed radically in the past ten years. The image of social strata and milieus, even of nationalities, used to be dictated by ideological default and assignation. The image associated with the working or middle classes used to align with the political theories that both engendered. “The Frenchman” or “the German” more or less represented national clichés. We primarily saw what we knew. We would then acknowledge representatives of these classes and nations and judge them accordingly. The ideologically fixed gaze first began softening with the introduction of new modes of direct communication and observation that established a new realism in perception. Telephone and television combined first with the Internet, then with social media, offering a visually supported opportunity for exchange and hypothetically providing any user with direct access to the unique lives of other users. The homogeneous, cut-and-dried preconceptions of class and nationality have increasingly fallen away as a result. Social media provides us with a picture of society as it truly is: full of contradictions, intersections, and dissonance. Today, those who want to hold tight to their ideological perspectives need to work a lot harder at it, and all too often, their efforts collapse when faced with the temptation to gain concrete impressions of the world. These new insights generate a dynamic that is also changing society. Because seeing creates knowledge, and knowledge leads to action. The social web is prepared to deconstruct social theories from the inside out, by starting an engine of social and systemic change free from ideological theorizing, as recent events in Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey and Ukraine have shown. Mobilizing the masses and coordinating social processes—these were the central functions of ideology. Social media has now taken on these duties. The Net has brought about a paradigm shift—out with theory and ideology, in with practice and reality.

released June 6, 2016"Jeez, this group sure are playing for keeps with this album. If it's immaculately crafted, written, played, and produced pop-rock taken to a brilliantly shining zenith that you're looking for, then your search starts and ends here. The smooth vocals vault to the heavens and beyond. The arrangements deliver a steady succession of yummy hooks and startling mid-song tempo changes that are pulled off with breathtaking skill and precision. Plus singer and keyboardist Joe Darone ain't no slouch in the songwriting department, with a downright uncanny knack for blending haunting lyrics and catchy melodies together in a sparkly sonic confection that's sheer nirvana for music aficionados. Simply superb." - jerseybeat.com "Heavenly and haunting guitar/keyboard soundscapes...The pliant, Prog-peppered playing teems with tempo changes, such as when the title track's frisky, Franz Ferdinand-like rhythm suddenly shifts into a stylish, Styx Grand Illusion-inspired surge. With tantalizing trimmings like charming carousel organ on "New Frontier," merry Middle Eastern melodies on "Revolution of You," Revolutionary War-era military drums on "Circling the Drain of History," and sweeping Scottish folk on "Reality 2.0," Break is another beaut." - bigtakeover.com "Floating untethered in the overly vague genre of “indie rock,” is the brilliant Suit of Lights...manages to somehow take inspiration from apparently everyone, while still remaining starkly original for a hook-laden, theatrical-heavy sound that is impossible to ignore... Darone and friends have turned in their strongest LP yet, brimming with catchy, sing-alongs, marching band drums and punk rock guitar...there is not a weak track here. Suit of Lights manages to be experimental and wildly creative over 10 tracks, while at the same time remaining accessible and never slipping into self-indulgence (if you think that’s easy, just check out every other prog rock band)." - newnoisemagazine.com "This fascinating release is actually the fourth studio recording for the New York City based quintet called Suit of Lights. Falling squarely in the Art-Rock category these ten compositions truly run the musical gamut melding musical influences as disparate as Baroque Pop to Progressive Rock along with a myriad of other things in between. It’s totally engaging because you just never know where these guys are going or what musical motif they’ll throw at you next. I’m a sucker for this type of stuff and loved every minute here. Break Open the Head checks all the right boxes for me.
NEW DELHI: Firecrackers would be available in Delhi NCR and people could procure and use it to celebrate Dussehara and Diwali in coming festive seasons as the Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted ban on their sale, saying that a graded and balanced and not radical approach was required to deal with pollution menace in the city.A bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta modified an apex court order passed on November 11 last year and allowed sale of firecrackers but directed the governemnt authorities to ensure that fireworks are not burst in silence zones and also restricted the Delhi Police not to grant temporary licenses to more than 500 shopkeepers.The bench held that the residents of the NCT and NCR are entitled to breathe unpolluted air but there was no conclusive proof that extremely poor quality of air in Delhi in last winter was the result only of bursting fireworks around Diwali to justify the ban. “A complete ban on the sale of fireworks would be an extreme step that might not be fully warranted by the facts available to us,” it said“In our considered opinion, continuing the suspension of licences might be too radical a step to take for the present – a graded and balanced approach is necessary that will reduce and gradually eliminate air pollution in Delhi and NCR caused by the bursting of fireworks. At the same time it is necessary to ensure that injustice is not caused to those who have already been granted a valid permanent licence to possess and sell fireworks in Delhi and the NCR,” the bench said.“The graded and balanced approach is not intended to dilute our primary concern which is and remains the health of everybody and the human right to breathe good quality air or at least not be compelled to breathe poor quality air. Generally speaking, this must take precedence over the commercial or other interest of the applicant and those granted a permanent licence to possess and sell fireworks,” it said.The bench also prohibited transport of fireworks from other states into Delhi and the NCR and asked the traders to exhaust their existing stocks of 50,00,000 kg. It directed the governemnt agencies to ensure that there is no further entry of fireworks into NCR till further orders.
