The culture of impunity in South Sudan — the world’s youngest nation — has spawned a civil war with no official body count. While government forces and rebels kill, rape and terrorize civilians, the United Nations refuses to estimate the death toll and ignores sites of mass burials. Forgotten among the carnage is a new generation of trauma victims, waiting for peace and justice or, at the least, a time and a place to mourn the ones they’ve lost. This is part three of a four-part series. Read the rest here. by NATHANIEL ROSS KELLY “Absolutely horrific,” is how Skye Wheeler of Human Rights Watch describes the first months of South Sudan’s civil war. In May 2014, the rainy season began and the conflict subsided, but did not entirely cease. Before the rains made roads impassable and military strategies harder to execute, the war’s atrocities seemed to increase exponentially. Killings in one locale spawned multiple acts of vengeance in the same place or in other areas of the country. One year later, the bloodletting is just as vicious as before. The Sudan People’s Liberation Army and the opposition forces claw at each other in an attempt to gain ground before the rains start again. Meanwhile, talk of justice ebbs and flows in and outside of South Sudan, like the exchange of rumors that most believe will turn out to be false. Though 2015 has been marked by periods of low-intensity conflict, the last several weeks have seen a troubling upsurge in violence in three of the northern states, Upper Nile, Jonglei and Unity. “You have a level of violence which is unheard of,” Yves Daccord, director general of the International Committee of the Red Cross told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. “There is no respect … It’s about revenge, nothing else.” U.N. personnel at the Protection of Civilians site in Malakal, the capital of Upper Nile state, are struggling to support the site’s 30,000 residents along with a substantial influx of new arrivals — men, women, and children fleeing the latest fighting in the city. The highly unstable situation in Malakal has prevented Doctors Without Borders — or MSF — from entering the camp and providing much-needed medical assistance. In Jonglei state, the town of Phom El Zeraf has “effectively been destroyed,” according to an MSF report. Constant bombardment by the warring parties has reduced homes and schools to ruins.

such as the United Kingdom today is that you get to find out so much about the way others live their lives. Until readinghe had no idea that Shorinji Kempo even existed, and certainly no suspicion that his friends an neighbours might be getting up to it. Anyway, this decision of Mr Justice Warren in the Chancery Division, England and Wales, has proved to be most instructive.Both parties in these proceedings were organisations concerned with the practice of, a martial art which had both religious and sporting aspects. Shorinji Kempo Unity (SKU) held the intellectual property rights of the(WSKO), whose rather attractive logo appears above, on the right. SKU itself was the proprietor of two registered Community trade marks and two UK trade marks on which it relied and which all looked the same, consisting of the words 'SHORINJI KEMPO', with a row of Japaneseunderneath. They are portrayed on the left.The British Shorinji Kempo Federation(BSKF), which was formerly affiliated to the WSKO, applied to register as a UK trade mark a sign consisting of the words 'BRITISH SHORINJI KEMPO FEDERATION', illustrated on the right. This was not going to please SKU, which was now good friends with the United Kingdom Shorinji Kempo Federation (UKSKF) -- a body formed to replace the BSKF as the British WSKO affiliate. Anyway, even in the teeth of an opposition filed by SKU, the Hearing Officer (George Salthouse who, as his name might suggest, is a seasoned examiner) held that there was no evidence upon which it could be established that SKU's earlier marks had been genuinely used and that BSKF's mark should be registered. SKU appealed.What was the basis for the appeal? Under section 6A of the, registration of BSKF's mark could not be refused by reason of an earlier mark, unless, within the period of five years ending on 1 July 2011, that earlier mark had been put to genuine use in the UK by the proprietor or with its consent in relation to the goods or services for which it was registered. Before Warren J both sides applied to submit further evidence and, since neither objected to the submission of fresh evidence by the other, the judge kindly agreed.Warren J dismissed SKU's appeal. In his view:* SKU had indeed shown genuine use of its earlier marks, both through use made of it by BSKF and by the UKSKF online and on clothing sold at its branches.

The Samford women's basketball team used a strong second half to pull away from Wofford for a 64-52 Southern Conference win Monday afternoon in the Pete Hanna Center.Samford shot just 31.8 percent in the first half, but came back to hit 56.5 percent of its shots after the break. The Bulldogs made 30 percent of their three-pointers in the first half, but 63.6 percent in the second half. For the game, Samford shot 44.4 percent overall and 47.6 percent from beyond the arc.Samford head coachsaid his team showed some toughness and resiliency in earning the win over the Terriers. "When Wofford made a couple of runs in the second half to cut it back to five or six, we pushed it right back out to nine or 10," Morris said. "That is a credit to our players. It's a learning process, and I think they are coming around to that. We made 20 field goals tonight on 17 assists, and that is an indication that we are seeing things, offensively. "Samford also had a strong game defensively, holding Wofford to just 35.1 percent shooting. The Terriers made just 33.3 percent of their attempts from three-point range. Morris said his team has improved in the last several games on the defensive end of the floor. "I think with a younger team like we have, it is a longer process for them to understand that you have to guard," Morris said. "You have to guard every game, every possession to have an opportunity to win. They are learning that, and it has shown up in the last four or five games that we are starting to understand the value of defense. "In the win, Samford was led by freshman guardwith a career-high 20 points, making 7-of-13 shots from the floor and 6-of-9 from three-point range. Nichols also had five rebounds in the win. "It really wasn't anything I did, I was just there" Nichols said. "My teammates got me open with their drives and I was there to hit the shots, so I give all of the credit to them. "Redshirt freshmanhad 12 points, five rebounds and a career-high six assists for Samford. Seniorhad 10 points and six rebounds, while freshmanfinished with 10 points and five rebounds.For Wofford, Logan Morris scored 15 points and pulled down seven rebounds.
It is probable, then, that Protagoras was supportive of traditional religious practice, while the wording of his proclamation of agnosticism does not even offer a direct challenge to conventional belief. He cannot know whether or not the gods exist or what they are like; this presumably (though in the light of Protagorean subjectivism the inference is not as secure as it would otherwise be) implies that no-one can know these things, but lack of knowledge is no bar to belief, particularly if that belief is socially useful, as Protagoras probably thought it was. Overall, it is likely that Protagoras' position on religious belief and practice was as conservative as his general social and moral views. If Xenophon's portrayal of Hippias' moral stance (see above) is historically accurate, then he held a deeply traditional view of the gods as authors of the unwritten law.
Liberal MP for Spadina-Fort York Adam Vaughan, a former city councillor for the area, called the proposal a “brilliant idea” on Wednesday. He said the federal government would consider the project if the city applied as part of the next phase of yet-to-be announced infrastructure funding. Rail Deck Park is the third (but largest) park proposed in Ward 20 (Trinity-Spadina) this term of council, following a $25-million private donation to develop 10 acres of land under a western portion of the Gardiner Expressway and a move by Councillor Joe Cressy to possibly expropriate a parking lot to build a nearly one-acre park on Richmond St. “It’s something special, because this signature central park, it’s not just for downtown residents, it will be a central destination for all of Toronto,” said Cressy of Rail Deck Park. “There is not 21 acres available in downtown Toronto. We need to be bold and innovate and think about how you utilize underutilized spaces.” Jake Tobin Garrett, manager of policy and research for advocacy group Park People, said there are no other opportunities to create a park of this size downtown. “It’s significant for this neighbourhood because of the pressures in the downtown, but it’s also significant for the entire city,” he said. “In terms of creating new land . . . it’s pretty unprecedented.” The process to determine whether this park can get off the ground will get underway in earnest this fall. Keesmaat said staff will report to the Sept. 22 executive committee meeting, recommending council begin the work to rezone the area.
Known for his deadly TvP timings, INnoVation sets up his mid game plan in the form of different aggressions:Each of these plays compliments the next play in some way, by either killing off specific units or displacing the army of MyuNgSiK. The first step outright kills the mothership core and a few probes, while the reaper jumps into the main base acting as a scout, and netting a probe kill. No mothership core means no photon overcharge for a while, which sets up INnoVations next play which is the marine and widow mine drop in the main base. The reduced damage output from MyuNgSiK’s army isn’t enough to effectively clear the drop while the medivac is healing the marines, and this delays a massive amount of mining time for MyuNgSiK. A secondary objective from this drop is the continued scouting of MyuNgSiK’s build, as INnoVation see’s the stargate going down along with colossus tech on the way. The third stage of aggression yet again delays a massive amount of mining time in both the main base and the natural of MyuNgSiK, and further acts as a scout by seeing the third base going down, a void ray and the infrastructure count for MyuNgSiK.Up to this point, the aggression out of INnoVation has been low risk, low reward pushes and drops. Behind these early aggressions INnoVation continued to tech up and build up his own infrastructure, while adding a third base. The last stage of the aggressive mid game plan comes in the form of a three medivac drop. This is somewhat risky due to the stargate on the map which could result in phoenix in the air, but this also means that MyuNgSiK has been spreading his resources too thinly across too many tech paths. With all the damage done to the economy, and seeing a third base, stargate and robo tech, this tells INnoVation that he has the go-ahead to make a big drop happen.His options are: drop in the main base, drop in the natural, or drop at the third. He decides to drop the main base where all of the tech is, and cashes in on amicro mistake out of MyuNgSiK. MyuNgSiK mis-micros two colossi attack moving his defenses into his main, to fend off the drop, and INnoVation capitalises on this mistake picking them both off at the cost of almost nothing.
It is clear that the experiments in the concentration camps with IG preparations only took place in the interests of the IG, which strived by all means to determine the effectiveness of these preparations. They let the SS deal with the – shall I say – dirty work in the concentration camps. It was not the IG’s intention to bring any of this out in the open, but rather to put up a smoke screen around the experiments so that (…) they could keep any profits to themselves. Not the SS but the IG took the initiative for the concentration camp experiments.”
(4) L. Vasilev proposed the gravitational hypothesis , first formulated by the German physicist Pascual Jordon and Einstein’s former collaborator Dr. B. Hoffman. Vasilev suggested that an interaction between the 16 STAT Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP9B-00787R000500420001-2 Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500420001-2 DST-1810S-387-75 September 1975 gravitational field and some existing but unexplained factor, possibly produced by the cerebal matter itself, might be involved in telepathic communication. He also suggested that thought transmissions might be connected with the laws of cybernetic systems. Vasilev also referred^ to the action of neutrino particles formed during nuclear reactions. If it could be established that such particles (which have no electric charge, move with a speed approaching that of light and are capable of penetrating obstacles of enormous mass) are generated during the neuro- psychic activity of the brain, it might conceivably be shown that these particles serve as the medium for telepathic transmissions. (U) The Soviets' renewed interest in the problem of parapsychology during the 1960s constituted, to a certain extent, another aspect of the trend away from doctrinaire control which had previously dominated all areas of intellectual effort in the USSR. The easing of intellectual control was exemplified by a quote from Laplace's "Essai Philosophique sur les Probabilities" used by Professor Vasilev: "We are so far from knowing all the forces of nature and their various modes of action that it would be unworthy of the phi— lospher to deny phenomena simply because they are inexplicable at the present state of our knowledge. The more difficult it is to acknowledge their existence, the greater the care with which we must study these phenomena." 18 Vasilev himself said: "it has happened more than once in the history of science that the establishment of new facts that were unexplainable by what was already known gave us a glimpse of unforeseen aspects of existence." (U) Such was the climate of Soviet parapsychological research in the early 1970s; Soviet science, for all its characteristic pragmatism, had apparently begun to free itself gradually from the restraints of an out- worn materialistic foundation which on more than one occasion had shown its flimsy bases when faced with new discoveries. However, as noted in Section I , there may now once again be a fairly concerted effort on the nart of some highly placed Soviet scientists in other disciplines to iftidermine parapsychology on political-ideological grounds .
All of it raises the question: Is the lifestyle that Kaltwasser literally embodies really a new and healthier attitude toward the female body, or is it a new expression of sexist old ideas and dangerous standards of beauty?
Ammi and the Gardners thought that most of the colours had a sort of haunting familiarity, and decided that they reminded one of the brittle globule in the meteor. Nahum ploughed and sowed the ten-acre pasture and the upland lot, but did nothing with the land around the house. He knew it would be of no use, and hoped that the summer’s strange growths would draw all the poison from the soil. He was prepared for almost anything now, and had grown used to the sense of something near him waiting to be heard. The shunning of his house by neighbours told on him, of course; but it told on his wife more. The boys were better off, being at school each day; but they could not help being frightened by the gossip. Thaddeus, an especially sensitive youth, suffered the most.In May the insects came, and Nahum’s place became a nightmare of buzzing and crawling. Most of the creatures seemed not quite usual in their aspects and motions, and their nocturnal habits contradicted all former experience. The Gardners took to watching at night—watching in all directions at random for something . . . they could not tell what. It was then that they all owned that Thaddeus had been right about the trees. Mrs. Gardner was the next to see it from the window as she watched the swollen boughs of a maple against a moonlit sky. The boughs surely moved, and there was no wind. It must be the sap. Strangeness had come into everything growing now. Yet it was none of Nahum’s family at all who made the next discovery. Familiarity had dulled them, and what they could not see was glimpsed by a timid windmill salesman from Bolton who drove by one night in ignorance of the country legends. What he told in Arkham was given a short paragraph in theand it was there that all the farmers, Nahum included, saw it first. The night had been dark and the buggy-lamps faint, but around a farm in the valley which everyone knew from the account must be Nahum’s the darkness had been less thick.

To inform Members of progress made in respect of the operation and development of overview and scrutiny in Bracknell Forest during 2012/13 and outline proposed future activities. Additional documents: OS Annual report 2012-13 , item 64. PDF 688 KB PDF 688 KB Minutes: The Council considered the Annual Report of Overview and Scrutiny which informed Members of progress made in respect of the operation and development of overview and scrutiny in Bracknell Forest during 2012/13 and outlined proposed future activities. Councillor Leake, Chairman of Overview and Scrutiny Commission, thanked the Leader for his comments around the work of Overview and Scrutiny. He stated that the foreword of the report principally focussed on the Overview element of Overview and Scrutiny as this was recognised as the more productive side of the work and reduced the need for scrutiny work. Councillor Leake thanked all members of the Overview and Scrutiny Panels and the Commission for all their hard work and commitment over the last year. He also thanked officers responsible for the scrutiny function as well as officers from across departments for their input over the year. Councillor Finnie, Chairman of Environment, Culture and Communities Overview and Scrutiny Panel added that it had been a productive year for the Panel and stated that the Panel’s area of work stretched across a wide cross section of the community. Councillor Virgo, Chairman of Health Overview and Scrutiny Panel stated that the Health and Social Care Act had come into force at the beginning of the year. In addition, the Urgent Care Centre was due to open in the new year at the Royal Berkshire Clinic at Brants Bridge. Panel members had worked alongside the Executive to provide a full response to the consultation work around this. One of the priorities for the Panel in the year ahead, would be to tackle the recommendations from the Francis Inquiry which related to the failures of the NHS Trust in mid Staffordshire. Councillor Mrs Birch, Chairman of Children, Young People and Learning Overview and Scrutiny Panel thanked members of her Panel for all their work. In particular the work carried out by the working group around School Governance had proved to be invaluable to the Borough’s schools.
There is also one more tag generated in the web.config file named httpHandlers in the code like this.Another tag is also added, that tag is known as the control-definition tag.In the web.config finally one one more tags are known as the Data Visualization assembly.These four basic tags will be present in your web.config file. Then in your Default.aspx page you will see a normal chart.Right-click on your chart and go to the property. In the property window go to the data source and select a data source and add that data source.After adding the data source successfully, go to the chart properties again and click on the series, explore the series and you will see a window like this.Now in the series, go to the data source and make the Xvalue member as you need to. Here I created a Xvalue member name and Yvalue member age depending on my needs. You can choose as you desire. If we want to provide a name for the X and Y axis in the chart then go again to the property window and click on the chart area; here you will see an Axes property.In the axes property now click on the axes collection and open the title in the X Axes. I select the title Name and in the Y axes I select the title Age.Now when you run your application you will see the output like this.As I said there are many types of charts available in ASP.NET, like Bar Chart, Line Chart, Column Chart, Pie Chart and so on. So here I will show you those types.If you want to see all the types of charts available in ASP.Net then it is not very tough, it is easy. Just go to your chart and right-click on it. Here you will see a list of all the charts available in ASP.Net.Now we will discuss how to make 3D charts in ASP.NET.First go to Visual Studio, go to the file, website and add a new website, then drag and drop a normalchart onto your aspx page. When you do that there are some tags added to your web.config file as I explained above. Then only in our aspx page we have a chart area tag. In the chart area tag we enable 3D (3D=true). We can also do this using the wizard simply.
The centralization of power has brought into being an international feeling of solidarity among the oppressed nations of the world; a solidarity which represents a greater harmony of interests between the workingman of America and his brothers abroad than between the American miner and his exploiting compatriot; a solidarity which fears not foreign invasion, because it is bringing all the workers to the point when they will say to their masters, "Go and do your own killing. We have done it long enough for you." ...The proletariat of Europe has realized the great force of that solidarity and has, as a result, inaugurated a war against patriotism and its bloody specter, militarism. Thousands of men fill the prisons of France, Germany, Russia and the Scandinavian countries because they dared to defy the ancient superstition... America will have to follow suit. The spirit of militarism has already permeated all walks of life. Indeed, I am convinced that militarism is a greater danger here than anywhere else, because of the many bribes capitalism holds out to those whom it wishes to destroy... The beginning has already been made in the schools... Children are trained in military tactics, the glory of military achievements extolled in the curriculum, and the youthful mind perverted to suit the government. Further, the youth of the country is appealed to in glaring posters to join the Army and the Navy. "A fine chance to see the world!" cries the governmental huckster. Thus innocent boys are morally shanghaied into patriotism, and the military Moloch strides conquering through the nation... When we have undermined the patriotic lie, we shall have cleared the path for the great structure where all shall be united into a universal brotherhood -- a truly free society.

Retrospectives are a powerful tool that can be damaging when conducted poorly. The process I describe here skips some important safety exercises for the sake of brevity. Pay particular attention to the contraindications before trying this practice. Step 1: The Prime Directive In his essay, "The Effective Post-Fire Critique," New York City Fire Department Chief Frank Montagna writes: Firefighters, as all humans, make mistakes. When firefighters make a mistake on the job, however, it can be life-threatening to themselves, to their coworkers, and to the public they serve. Nonetheless, firefighters will continue to make mistakes and on occasion will repeat a mistake. Never use a retrospective to place blame or attack individuals. Everyone makes mistakes, even when lives are on the line. The retrospective is an opportunity to learn and improve. If an attendee feels threatened, they won't participate. The team should never use the retrospective to place blame or attack individuals. As facilitator, it's your job to nip destructive behavior in the bud. To this end, I start each retrospective by repeating Norm Kerth's Prime Directive. I write it at the top of the whiteboard. Regardless of what we discover today, we understand and truly believe that everyone did the best job they could, given what they knew at the time, their skills and abilities, the resources available, and the situation at hand. I ask each attendee in turn if he agrees to the Prime Directive and wait for a verbal "yes". If not, I ask if he can set aside his skepticism just for this one meeting. If an attendee still won't agree, I won't conduct the retrospective. If someone speaks once during a retrospective, she is more likely to speak again. By waiting for verbal agreement, you encourage more participation. Step 2: Brainstorm If everyone agrees to the Prime Directive, hand out index cards and pencils, then write the following headings on the whiteboard: Enjoyable
'Darren Loveday, 29, has also moved out of Newham but comes back frequently as a member of a local boxing club.He told the cameras about his days at college when he would be taunted by students for being white.Mr Loveday said: 'I remember hearing, ‘White Boy! Drop your phone and walk off’ shouted by three boys. 'No disrespect, but I was probably the only white kid in the college. 'There are some multi-generation immigrants who feel like they are East Enders, like Usman Hussain, whose family moved to East London from Bangladesh in the 1930s.Mr Hussain is a fifth-generation Londoner who said he was pleased to see more Muslims in the area but, at the same time, misses the white friends he knew when he was young.Speaking on the documentary, he said: 'I do often think if my childhood friends were around right now they would say, "He’s more British than us. He’s more proud of being an East Ender than us. "'Tony Cunningham is the son of a Jamaican immigrant father and a Londoner mother whose family has been in Newham for 150 years.He told the programme he was racially abused as a youngster but considers himself a cockney.Mr Cunningham, a bus driver, added he now feels like an outsider in the community.He said: 'We were called ‘n***** when we were growing up. To be honest I had to educate my nan, she had a cat called that. 'I feel alone. Most of the Muslims stick together, their children stick together. If you are an outsider, they don’t want no part of you whatsoever. 'Mr Cunningham, who is married to Romanian immigrant Vally, is looking to move to Hornchurch 'for a better life' and because he fears his daughter Charlotte will be a minority at schools in Newham.He also bemoaned the disappearance of Christian values in the area.Mr Cunningham told the cameras: 'I’ve been to church before and I’d say half the people there are eastern Europeans. 'I think they’ll bring something very good to the area but not quick enough for Charlotte. These schools around here will make her lose her identity. 'There are no more nativity plays, no more Christmas cards, nothing like that is celebrated any more, it’s rubbed out. 'I don’t care if Charlotte goes to a school where there’s a mix of races and everything is on an even keel, but that’s not the case around here.

There is no doubt that these various initiatives Start Up India, Make in India, Digital India, are all very good ideas. Digital India particularly can provide remote education and health care for people who don't have access and connect farmers with the rural market.But bringing about a change in India is always slow because our political structure distributes power between Centre and states and the states are quite strong. So a lot of the reforms that are required will have to be taken up by the states. It's not possible for the Centre to alone bring about reforms. It's not proper for us blame any one entity. But yes, there is an air of wanting to do things in Delhi. The PM's announcement that startups will not be burdened with taxes for the first three years is a positive signal. The announcement that hassles on labour laws and factory inspectors will not be there for the first three years is also a good thing.But the chief ministers of all states and the central government must sit down and work out together what can be done to make the lives of entrepreneurs easier. Co-operation of states is key.The credit has to be given first to PV Narasimha Rao, then to Dr Manmohan Singh and to P Chidambaram and also to Montek Singh Ahluwalia. Without them doing what they did, we could not have achieved the transformation we have today of the Indian industry. And you know, it all happened in a week. In a week, they did the impossible. They abolished licensing in most sectors. We used to come to Delhi repeatedly, it would take 3 years to get a license to import a computer. That was changed.Then they introduced current account convertibility. Before that we had to apply and wait endlessly for foreign exchange from the RBI. Current account convertibility allowed us to open offices abroad, to send our employees to man those offices, hire consultants from abroad in quality and branding. Without this, Indian companies could not have become international.Then they abolished the office of the Controller of Capital Issues. There used to be a civil servant who sat in Delhi who did not understand anything about capital markets and he was supposed to decide on the pricing of the IPO. Manmohan Singh realized that this office was unnecessary and abolished it.
9:10 am: PDP refuses to comment on potential ally Nayeem Akhtar, spokesperson of the PDP, refuses to be drawn into which party they could ally with in order to form the government in the state. "It is too early to comment on the results. The BJP is said to be leading in 8 seats in the valley, let's wait another half hour and see," Akhtar told Headlines Today. 9:05 am: PDP set to form govt with Congress support? Here's what Firstpost's editor-in-chief R Jagannathan has to say about the poll results so far: Given the break-up of Jammu & Kashmir trends so far, where PDP leads in 24 constituencies and BJP in 20 and Congress six, the most likely possibility is a PDP government constituted with the help of Congress and independents. But independents are too few to matter. 9:00 am: Omar Abdullah provides two of NC's leads in the state Incumbent Chief Minister Omar Abdullah dumped his traditional seat of Ganderbal in order to contest from two other constituencies in the state and he may be one of the few MLAs from the party to make it to the Kashmir Assembly. He presently leads in the Beerwah constituency in Budgam and Sonwar seat in Srinagar. To put in perspective how much the NC is reliant on him: the party is leading in 13 seats in the state of which two of them come from the Chief Minister. And unfortunately he will have to ditch one. 8:45 am: BJP's Hina Bhat in the lead in Kashmir valley It might have been considered unlikely earlier but the BJP's biggest name in the Kashmir valley, Dr Hina Bhat, is leading in the Amira Kadal constituency of Srinagar. She may be in the lead but NC MLA Nasir Aslam Wani is not out of the race just yet. Headlines Today reports that the BJP is leading in an unexpected 6 seats in the valley. However, the PDP has made inroads into the Jammu region, one that was originally considered a stronghold of the BJP.
It was the case of the client who called last night to complain about her program. Some men in the program were bothering her –, and she had missed some tests, – and one or so was dirty... It was a problematic case. He would need a good “stand-in” attorney. No problem! It was a good stand-in who got her into the program in the first place, when counsel didn't even think of it. He immediately made a couple calls and got nowhere beyond voice mail. He also needed to bone up on Prometheus if he was to understand the argument. He went online and pulled a Prometheus decision, a seating chart of the Justices, and some practical tips on getting in and attending a hearing at the Supreme Court. By late Tuesday he had read a Prometheus decision and plotted the bus and train options. He didn't have anyone to take care of his own case yet. It was just marijuana! When Dan called saying he could stand in, he knew he was on his way. The first time to the Supreme Courtroom! He had been to the building for papers once. High ceilings and marble are the rule-- even in the bathrooms. The second decision was how to go. He feared it might be well-attended due to the concern of many about patents in this town. He had attended a Federal Circuit [Bilski] argument that was a packed house with a turn-away crowd. The practical tipsters said to get an early train, get in line, get a number, get breakfast, then get back in line. There is not much public space left when you consider the judges, the lawyers, the new admit-tee lawyers, invited guests and dedicated tourists. He much preferred the bus at rush hour since he could get a seat, see the world, and it didn't trap him in a tunnel every time someone jumped on the tracks. He wondered what a three-judge panel would decide. But time was of the essence, first-come-first-serve, so he opted for the train despite a longer walk from the station. Though one lives in the Capitol, one goes decades without stepping onto its hallowed places. Almost all of the national history is reflected on Capitol Hill. He works blocks from the Mall but goes years without setting foot on it. The Inauguration was the last time, – the last one.
“Thanks for the laugh with my coffee, Jimmy.” Your "coffee," Mike? Hmm...
It has been suggested that the CA3 can influence the activity of CA1 by promoting a consolidation process resulting in long-term memory. To test this idea that the CA1 and CA3 region might be involved in retrieval after long (24 h) time delays, rats with CA1 or CA3 lesions were tested in a modified Hebb–Williams maze. The results indicated that CA3 lesioned rats were impaired in encoding (within-day tests), but with no deleterious effect on retrieval with a 24-h delay (across-day tests). In contrast, CA1-lesioned rats were impaired in retrieval with a 24-h delay (across-day tests), but they have no difficulty in encoding new information (i.e., within-day tests; Jerman et al., 2006; Vago et al., 2007). Using a spatial contextual fear-conditioning paradigm, rats with dorsal CA1, but not dorsal CA3, lesions were impaired relative to controls in retention (long-term memory) of contextual fear-conditioning (Lee and Kesner, 2004a,b; Hunsaker and Kesner, 2008). In a different study, Gall et al. (1998) demonstrated that c-fos gene expression was elevated selectively more in CA1 compared to CA3 only after overtraining in an olfactory discrimination task, whereas the same gene expression in CA3 compared to that in CA1 was selectively enhanced after the initial acquisition of the olfactory discrimination task. Furthermore, sustained neural activity over intervals of hours to days potentially promoting consolidation is mediated by CA1, but not CA3 neurons (Mankin et al., 2012). In a different task, Florian and Roullet (2004) showed that focal injections of diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) into the CA3 region impaired the acquisition, but not recall of spatial information in the water maze. Also, injection of DDC into the CA3 region immediately after training in the water maze disrupted consolidation 24 h later. In a different study, Lassalle et al. (2000) also tested animals in the water maze and found that DDC injections into CA3 did not disrupt memory consolidation. The above-mentioned data suggest that the CA1 region may play an important role in supporting consolidation processes, but it appears that CA3 does not have a powerful modulatory effect on CA1 in affecting the consolidation process. Rather it is assumed that CA1 is important for consolidation of new information within the intermediate temporal memory framework by connecting with neocortical systems to promote consolidation.

The theft of a dollar shouldn't have warranted much more than a visit to the principal's office, if that. But, because of these policies, the school automatically turned it over to a, who then interrogated two children, presumably attempting to get the 8-year-old to testify against the fifth-grader. Unfortunately, incidents like these are far from rare.There's more. That's just a sampling. This all builds up to the inevitable end result of cops vs. students, as detailed in this wrongful death suit Officer Alvarado disobeyed direct ordersschool policy in order to pursue an unarmed teen, ultimately ending his life. Alvarado claims he fired at the student because he felt the teen "was coming after him" when the door to the shed the student was hiding in was pushed open and hit him in the face.But the teen wasn't a threat at any moment up until that point, according to Officer Alvarado himself. Tracking down the teen to a shed in someone's yard, he told the homeowner that the boy "posed no threat" to the homeowner. He also testified that if he thought the teen was a threat he would have called for backup.Despite these assurances andthat the teen posed no threat, he approached the shed with his weapon drawn. The unexpected swing of the door suddenly turned the unarmed teen into a threat, something Alvarado felt could only be mitigated by shooting.The whole situation might be deemed "unfortunate" if it wasn't for Alvarado's disciplinary record, which calls into question why he was still employed by the police department, much less allowed to work in a school.There's the other problem with bringing police officers into schools. Law enforcement agencies have earned the reputation over the years for protecting their own and allowing "rogue" officers to go largely unpunished. Termination is rare and prosecution even more so. When you turn over low-grade disciplinary issues to law enforcement, you run the very real risk of handing a student over to a cop like Alvarado -- someone who's been slapped on the wrist multiple times and sent back into the general population.On one hand, you have schools with zero-tolerance policies. On the other, you have law enforcement agencies with all the tolerance in the world.

Something of the man’s measure can be taken from his vociferous detestation of the anti-semitism of his time and place, especially the newly fashionable variety promoted by the political journalist and pamphleteer Édouard Drumont (1844 1917), but also the traditional, casually vicious French Catholic variety. Even when the Dreyfus affair strained his loyalties from every side (he sometimes seemed to resent Dreyfus for embarrassing his beloved France by his innocence), and even when his rhetoric lapsed into the sort of conventional supersessionism that his own more considered theological writings rejected, Bloy never ceased to defend the Jews against persistent calumnies, and to insist upon God’s special love for his people—indeed, for his kin. To Bloy’s mind, it was not enough for him as a Christian merely to denounce lies about the wealth and usurious ways of international “Jewry”; it was necessary to proclaim ever and again “Le Salut par les Juifs” (to cite the title of his book of 1892), and to insist that every Jew, being a cousin of God incarnate, owned a divine dignity to which gentiles had no natural claim, and in regard to which the proper attitude of any gentile was one of grateful humility. In fact, there is no other Catholic thinker of the nineteenth or early twentieth century who better understood Paul’s arguments about God’s enduring covenants in the ninth through eleventh chapters of the Letter to the Romans, or who was more immune to the traditional Augustinian misreading of the text. For him, Christians are saved only by being grafted into a vine that is eternally the vine of Israel. To appreciate just how extraordinary all this was for a pious Catholic of Bloy’s time, one need only compare his views to the noxious bigotries that pervade the writings of Catholic apologists of the time—even some still held in high esteem today.
3. Our own history of past evolution and development is neither slow nor fast, but average and typical for life forms. (Ours is the only example available and no one has yet demonstrated that the "average" galactic life form should be any different.) Now let us turn momentarily to time scales. The sun and earth are on the order of 5 billion years old. We might define modern man as being about 5000 years old (Stonehenge is 4000 years old) -- just one millionth of the earth's age. The age of science is certainly not more than 500 years, so our scientific and technical development has thus far occupied only one ten-millionth of the earth's life span. We expect the sun will burn another 5 billion years before significant changes in its brightness occur. Now the age of the galaxy is between 5 and 10 billion years; therefore among the 200-600 million stars we would expect to have acceptable planets, some would be older than the sun, some younger (for star formation is still continuing, even though at a lesser rate than in the galaxy's early history) and some the same age. It should be clear from assumption (3) and the example of our own -10- development, that among the populated planets those younger than the sun would be peopled by beings very much behind us technologically, while those on older planets would be extraordinarily advanced (remember our progress of 500 years and note that some planets could be as much as a few billion years older). Indeed, we would be surprised to find someone else at just our stage of technological development. For the purposes of this paper, we can ignore both the multitude younger than ourselves and those at our point of development. Even so, we are left with the possibility of 100,000,000 planets in the galaxy having life forms very much advanced from us. (This number would be reduced significantly if life forms destroyed themselves soon after reaching our age of development. This is a philosophical point on which I am optimistic -- I believe the majority of races will learn to survive.) If these stars are uniformly distributed in the galactic disk, the average separation will be about 10 light years.
NOVEL TRYPTAMINE DERIVATIVES Synthetic tryptamines appeared on illicit drug markets throughout the 1990s 98, to be replaced over the last few years by cathinones, phenethylalamines and piperazines 82, 99. Nevertheless, novel tryptamines (e.g., N‐diallyl‐5‐methoxy‐tryptamine, 5‐MeO‐DALT; alpha‐methyltryptamine, AMT; 5‐methoxy‐alpha‐methyltryptamine, 5‐MeO‐AMT; N,N‐diallyl‐4‐hydroxytryptamine, 4‐HO‐DALT; 5‐methoxy‐diisopropyl‐tryptamine, 5‐MeO‐DIPT; 5‐methoxy‐N,N‐dimethyltryptamine, 5‐MeO‐DMT; N,N‐diethyltryptamine, DET; 5‐(2‐aminopropyl)indole, 5‐IT) continue to appear on the online drug scenario 2, 82, 100, 101. Most exogenous tryptamines are psychoactive hallucinogens found naturally 102-106, notably in Delosperma species plants (dimethyltryptamine, DMT; 5‐MeO‐DMT), hallucinogenic fungi (psilocin; 4‐OH‐DMT), and amphibians (bufotenin). Endogenous bufotenin and DMT have been detected in humans as well 107-109, even though their biological functions remain unclear. The predominant clinical effects of tryptamines, associated with both agonist activities at 5‐HT2A receptors and serotonin transporter inhibition 110-117, consist in visual hallucinations, alterations in sensory perception, distortion of body image, depersonalization, marked mood lability and anxiety/panic 98, 118. Untoward effects include agitation, tachyarrhythmia and hyperpyrexia 111. There are small numbers of confirmed post‐mortem toxicology reports on tryptamines, mainly relating to AMT 47. Bufotenin 119 is found on the skin of various species of the toad Bufo genus, in Amanita mushrooms, and in Anadenanthera peregrina/Piptoderma peregrina plants 120. Its psychoactive effects are mainly due to its enzymatic conversion to 5‐MeO‐DMT. Typically, consumers smoke the crystals obtained by drying the liquid taken from the frogs, but both oral and intravenous use have been recently reported as well. AMT is available mainly from the web, in tablet and liquid formulations. Visual illusions and euphoria have been reported 121. 5‐MeO‐AMT and 5‐MeO‐DMT have a structure similar to amphetamine, hence explaining their sympathomimetic effects 98, 99. 5‐IT, a positional AMT isomer and a substituted phenethylamine, has been made available since 2012. It possesses both hallucinogenic and stimulant effects 98, 99.
I start asking around the projects, most helpful two Latino women who were NYCHA maintenance workers raking, cleaning up amid the huge downed trees that fell in the project common areas. They tell me there’s a NYCHA command center, another trailer, try there, they tell me where it is. I go in and explain what’s going on. They were very nice, but they called and called all these different places, they couldn’t get through or couldn’t get the info. Finally, they called the manager, he’ll be able to help you out. They offered me food, water, were real nice but I was there for almost an hour. One guy said, the resident probably evacuated. Another said leave the meds here, we’ll get it to him– I said I can’t do it. Finally, I said, “Wait is the manager that I’m waiting for named Scott?” Yeah, they tell me. I said I talked to him twice he can’t help. One worker there, a decent young black man, I’ll call him out by name, Kevin Norman, said call “global,” which turned out to be NYCHA’s (ESD) Emergency Services Department. Another worker called, someone actually picked up, they gave the residents name, I said tell him to run it through any public housing in that park of Brooklyn. Finally got it. The address was completely wrong on the prescription, turns out the database showed he lived in a different housing project 12 blocks away. I shook all their hands, Kevin Norman gave me his cell number and said call if you need any help with him or any other residents — I said are you serious. Another worker, Louis, I believes said, “Yeah, they’re our tenants to take care of.” We thanked each other and while I was thanking them manager Scott walked into the trailer, looking a little abashed. Went to the other project and delivered the man his medicine. Maybe 2 hours this whole thing took.

False Confessions True Confessions Research Conclusions Typically result from the experience of external pressure (such as police interrogation). Typically result from the experience of internal pressure (such as guilt, shame or feeling caught by the weight of the evidence). Focus on interrogation techniques that increase internal pressure on suspects (Horgan, Russano, Meissner & Evans, 2012). Contain more self-deprecations and doubts about own testimony. These are emotionally-based indicators. Contain more unexpected complications in story. These are cognitively-based indicators. Criminals tell convincing lies (Willëm & Strömwall, 2012) so proceed with caution. Short-term gain in stopping interrogation, threats, protecting the true perpetrator as reasons for confessing. Guilt & honesty, perceived proof against them, and confusion and ignorance as reasons for confessing. False confessors more likely to claim external pressures while true confessors identify internal pressures as reason for confessing (Hamezelou, 2012; Redlich, Kulish & Steadman, 2011). False confessors were interrogated more often. True confessors were interrogated less often. External pressure of repeated interrogations can lead to false confessions (Hamezelou, 2012; Redlich, Kulish & Steadman, 2011). False confessors were interrogated for longer periods of time (sometimes for days). True confessors were interrogated for shorter time periods. The length of interrogation wears down the detainee and results in false confession (Garret, 2010). False confession interviews were far more likely (12%) to be 4 hours or more in length. True confession interviews were only 4 hours or more in length 7% of the time. Most interrogations only last 1 to 2 hours and 3 to 4 hours is seen as sufficient for longer interrogations (Redlich, Kulish & Steadman, 2011). False confessions were made significantly later in the interrogation process. True confessions are made earlier in interrogation. External pressure increases the number of false confessions (Redlich, Kulish & Steadman, 2011).

So, even if Hodor and Bran were out at the same time, it probably won’t be for long. Hodor’s a good card in some circumstances, but with a lot of weaknesses. I love the flavor text though.rave - 4 out of 5You can’t argue with the stats. He’s a good defensive card for just a small investment, just like the previous iteration.Alexfrog - 5 out of 5You are going to play this in Stark decks. It’s a solid 5 gold economy plot which is not hit by Naval Superiority, and really ruins your opponent’s combat math, pulls characters into challenges they don’t have icons for, etc. Having played against Winterfell Kennel Master now, and seen how annoying it is to have the threat of pulling in Grey Wind and activating his Intimidate, this is definitely a powerful effect.scantrell24 - 5 out of 5Amazing. It’s kinda like turning every Stark character you control into Margaery Tyrell.JoefromCincinnati - 5 out of 5The Starks have really come on strong in the past couple chapter packs. Winterfell Kennelmaster has become a staple in Stark decks and it is (now) obvious why. Turns out, challenge math tricks are way better than anyone on this review board previously thought. The Kennelmaster got a lot of bad grades (I gave him the highest grade at 3 out of 5) and many said direwolves are just too niche. Well, it turns out they aren’t bad. And this plot is an even better version of that challenge math trick. Expect to see this as an auto include in most Stark decks for a long time.Rave - 5 out of 5I’m a big fan of 5 gold plots with strong abilities, because strong abilities are a rare thing above the 4 gold threshold. Versatile.Alexfrog - 4 out of 5Built in stand effects are amazing. Standing Margaery is awesome, but standing Dany is even better. There’s also an upcoming 7 cost Caitlyn.scantrell24 - 4 out of 5Repeatable stand was traditionally quite strong in first edition. However, I’m worried that the 5 gold cost (the high end is getting crowded) and scope (only Ladies) are too limiting. He doesn’t fit into every deck, but Targ Rose is a serious contender.JoefromCincinnati - 4 out of 5Strong card in many cases. Horas works especially well with Margaery, who can kneel to use her ability then, when you declare an attack with Horas, she’ll stand and you can use her ability again.
“This is driving her nuts, and she’s driving me nuts,” Windsor grumbled, after we’d left to walk the four blocks to her apartment, on lower Fifth Avenue, where Windsor and Spyer had lived since 1975. They first met at a restaurant nearby, called Portofino, where Windsor went because she heard that, on Friday evenings, it was full of lesbians, and she was desperate to meet some. “Men got my message,” Windsor told me. “In the straight world, I was perceived as this sexy being. But with women?” She shrugged. When she first came out, she went to gay bars nearly every night, where she would smoke cigarettes and dance with other women, who were usually unsatisfactory partners. “Lesbians can’t lead,” she said, shaking her head sadly. At Portofino, Spyer, a graduate student in psychology with an arresting face and a frisky self-assurance, had come with a date. “She always had someone,” Windsor said. Windsor—whose maiden name was Schlain—grew up in Philadelphia, where she married her older brother’s best friend. “He was exactly what most girls wanted,” she wrote in an affidavit for her case before New York’s Southern District Court. “He was big, handsome and strong, yet sweet. I think that if I had been straight,” she added, he would have been “the love of my life.” But she feared that she was not, even before she married him. “Anytime I would see two women walking on the street on a Saturday night, I would be so jealous,” she told me. She got divorced in 1952, less than a year after her wedding day. Windsor had graduated from Temple University, and after her divorce, at the age of twenty-three, she decided to move to Greenwich Village and pursue a master’s in mathematics at N.Y.U., where she took her first computing classes. She applied for a job as a research assistant, programming an eight-ton UNIVAC computer for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The job required a high security clearance, and Windsor received a letter from the F.B.I. requesting an interview, which terrified her: she felt certain that the agents would question her about her sexuality.
Comment from Kevin Carson, 3 October 2008, 12:49 a.m. Brilliant again, Roderick! And thanks for the links. As I argue in the article you link, I think Rothbard’s application of the calculation argument to the corporation was extremely conservative. For one thing, he seemed to assume that, even under state capitalism, getting too big and integrated to have access to outside market data for one’s inputs was – if not an entirely theoretical possibility – at most a problem for a few outlying firms. I think he neglected the question of how many intermediate goods involved in creating complex manufactured goods are product-specific, and thus have no reference to an outside market for pricing. Back in the ’50s, an article on transfer pricing (whose author I’m too lazy to look up) presented data that the vast majority of intermediate goods in the auto industry were product-specific rather than generic, and that transfer prices were estimated on a cost-plus basis from the lowest-order component goods for which a price existed in the outside market. If the link to outside prices were too tenuous, some advocates of “market-based management” propose simply setting transfer prices by trial and error, and then adjusting them in response to experience – IOW, exactly what Lange proposed and Mises scoffed at. If Rothbard’s stated standard is applied, then most large manufacturing corporations are islands of calculational chaos, or have at best extremely indirect recourse to market data for most of their intermediate goods. In addition, Rothbard believed it didn’t matter that much whether the outside market prices reflected spot conditions of supply and demand different from those prevailing inside the firm. The fact that prices existed at all was sufficient; they didn’t have to be very “thick” in the information they conveyed. But this situation is directly analogous to the state socialist expedient Mises discussed, of recourse to the market prices in some other country. If GM can operate just fine based on imperfectly relevant outside prices, then the USSR ought to have operated just fine based on American prices. But somehow I don’t think Mises would have been willing to concede that such far-removed prices were good enough. Comment from Kevin Carson, 3 October 2008, 1:21 a.m. P.S.
I haven't yet decided what to do about about this as my time and motivation to work on this has been sporadic. I might be able to find a solution or I may have to scrap the design and start over and do something simpler. More to come...
For prospective cohort studies, authors reported their data in four different ways: the risk of fracture by group with the cohort divided into two to five groups by baseline dietary intake; pooled risk of fracture per unit of dietary intake; mean baseline dietary intake in individuals with or without subsequent fracture; or a written description of any association. We used only one association from each study for each fracture outcome with priority assigned in the order listed. These four different types of data cannot be combined in a meta-analysis and therefore we did not pool the results of different studies. Instead, we assessed whether there was an association between dietary intake and risk of fracture for each study. We classified associations into four groups: no association, inverse association (where a higher intake was associated with a lower risk of fracture, or a lower intake with a higher risk), a positive association (where a higher intake was associated with a higher risk of fracture or a lower intake with a lower risk), or a U shaped association (where both higher and lower intakes were associated with a higher risk of fracture). We considered associations to be present when there were significant differences between mean baseline dietary intakes (assessed by t tests either reported in the paper or calculated post hoc with OpenEpi; www.OpenEpi.com ) or when the confidence interval for a group excluded 1. For studies that reported data from three or more groups of dietary intake, we assessed the results for the group furthest from the reference group. Thus, when the reference group had the lowest dietary intake, we assessed results from the group with the highest intake; when the reference group had the highest dietary intake, we assessed results from the group with the lowest intake; and when the reference group had intermediate dietary intake, we assessed results from the groups with both highest and lowest intake.
Assisting with defense eventually shifted into administration and then outright rule, as Roman government passed into the hands of Germanic leaders. Odoacer (who commanded the German mercenaries in Italy) deposed Romulus Augustulus, the last emperor of the West in CE 476. Odoacer ruled from Rome and Ravenna, restored the Colosseum and assigned seats to senatorial dignitaries as part of the process of consolidating his rule. The presence of successor states controlled by a nobility from one of the Germanic tribes is evident in the 6th century – even in Italy, the former heart of the Empire, where Odoacer was followed by Theodoric the Great, king of the Ostrogoths, who was regarded by Roman citizens and Gothic settlers alike as legitimate successor to the rule of Rome and Italy. Theodoric ruled from CE 493–526, twice as long as his predecessor, and his rule is evidenced by an abundance of documents. Under the Ostrogoths a considerable degree of Roman and Germanic cultural and political fusion was achieved. Germanic kings worked in-tandem with Roman administrators to the extent possible to help ensure a smooth transition and to facilitate the profitable administration of once Roman lands. Slowly but surely, the distinction between Germanic rulers and Roman subjects faded, followed by varying degrees of "cultural assimilation" which included the adoption of the Gothic language by some of the indigenous people of the former Roman Empire but this was certainly not ubiquitous as Gothic identity still remained distinctive. Theodoric may have tried too hard to accommodate the various people under his dominion; indulging "Romans and Goths, Catholics and Arians, Latin and barbarian culture" resulted in the eventual failure of the Ostrogothic reign and the subsequent "end of Italy as the heartland of late antiquity."

In CPI ad campaigns brands are charged a fixed of bid rate only when the application was installed. Attribution of ad value Main article: Attribution (marketing) In marketing, "attribution" is the measurement of effectiveness of particular ads in a consumer's ultimate decision to purchase. Multiple ad impressions may lead to a consumer "click" or other action. A single action may lead to revenue being paid to multiple ad space sellers. [68] Other performance-based compensation CPA (Cost Per Action or Cost Per Acquisition) or PPP (Pay Per Performance) advertising means the advertiser pays for the number of users who perform a desired activity, such as completing a purchase or filling out a registration form. Performance-based compensation can also incorporate revenue sharing, where publishers earn a percentage of the advertiser's profits made as a result of the ad. Performance-based compensation shifts the risk of failed advertising onto publishers. [62]:4, 16 Fixed cost Fixed cost compensation means advertisers pay a fixed cost for delivery of ads online, usually over a specified time period, irrespective of the ad's visibility or users' response to it. One examples is CPD (cost per day) where advertisers pay a fixed cost for publishing an ad for a day irrespective of impressions served or clicks.

By coincidence, that was also the year that the film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” was released; it explores what happens when two people choose to have all their memories of each other erased. In real life, it’s not possible to pluck a single recollection from our brains without destroying others, and Schiller has no desire to do that. She and a growing number of her colleagues have a more ambitious goal: to find a way to rewrite our darkest memories. “I want to disentangle painful emotion from the memory it is associated with,” she said. “Then somebody could recall a terrible trauma, like those my father obviously endured, without the terror that makes it so disabling. You would still have the memory, but not the overwhelming fear attached to it. That would be far more exciting than anything that happens in a movie.” Before coming to New York, Schiller had heard—incorrectly, as it turned out—that the idea for “Eternal Sunshine” originated in LeDoux’s lab. It seemed like science fiction and, for the most part, it was. As many neuroscientists were aware, though, the plot also contained more than a hint of truth.
Percy Abrams, executive director for Iroquois Nationals’ board of directors, with his Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois Confederacy, passport at a news conference in New York in 2010. Bebeto Matthews / AP The brothers are easy to recognize, as each has a long thin braid flowing beneath his helmet to remind fans of his heritage. “We’re just proud of who we are, of being Native American,” Lyle said of the braids. “That’s how we show people.” With behind-the-back missiles, backhanded shovel shots and a highly intuitive sense of space and timing, the Thompsons were a walking highlight reel this spring, along with their cousin Ty, who just complete his college career as Albany’s fourth-leading scorer in history (with 154 goals). “There’s never a time when I go out there looking to be fancy,” Lyle said, "A lot of times, it just comes to me. We pretty much had sticks in our hands since we could walk. When it comes to game time, it just kind of happens.” Lyle started playing organized lacrosse at age 7 or 8, earlier than his brothers: Miles; 27-year-old Jeremy, who was Syracuse’s highest-scoring midfielder in 2011; and 25-year-old Jerome, a former star at Onondaga Community College. But, Lyle said, “it’s actually a little late compared to most kids on the rez.” The team is aiming for its first senior outdoor world championship medals at this year’s tournament, which runs through July 19. Although the Iroquois and the U.S. won’t meet until their last match of the round robin, on July 15, U.S. head coach Richie Meade already knows “it’s going to be a challenge to guard them,” he said. “But we’ve never really had a chance to be on the field with them” as a unit. It has been eight years since the Iroquois last competed at the outdoor world championships, and the 2014 roster was announced only in late June. The lack of formal practice time has been a bit frustrating for Iroquois head coach Steve Beville, a non-Haudenosaunee, who has coached Division III SUNY Cortland since 2007 and helped coach the Iroquois under-19 world team two years ago. “I’m used to a lot more structure” when it comes to scheduling, he said. But on the field, “I’d be crazy to have too much structure. They’re still doing things you don’t ever see,” and the element of surprise can be a great advantage.
In other words, it would reduce the price of being kind. FOR THE EMPLOYED MIDDLE CLASS, a mixed system with defined contributions by employers, private health insurance exchanges and reference pricing by insurers. Under a restructured Medicare program also based on a defined contribution model, reference pricing would be likely to apply to Medicare beneficiaries as well. Depending on how it is operated – e.g., if it were solely based on cost, in abstraction of quality – reference pricing also permits tiering of the health care experience by income class, without anyone having to say so openly. FOR THE UPPER-INCOME GROUPS, boutique medicine, which is already growing in the United States. Here the sky will be the limit.

As players start sealing gates locations the rate at which they appear slow, this means that the middle of the game can feel a bit of a drag and the pace lessons as players feel they’ve managed to control the game. Its only when the doom track, the mechanism for controlling the when the Ancient One awakens, nears its end that the pressure is ramped up again.If players don’t close the gates quickly enough then the Ancient One will rip a hole in space and time and the players will have to battle it. In the majority of cases this is an extremely difficult fight as the Ancient Ones are incredibly tough adversaries. Most investigators won’t be able to accomplish this task and it often feels like a futile effort and adds extra time to an already long game. If Azathoth is the Ancient One then this fight doesn’t happen as the game is automatically lost when he awakens and one speculates whether all of the Ancient Ones should be treated this way.If you’re going to play Arkham Horror make sure you set aside plenty of time. Fantasy Flight suggests this game takes two to four hours but a rough guide of over one hour per player is more appropriate. However, the random nature of the game means that this value can vary widely, sometimes the game can be set against you and it takes six hours for a four player game, other times you may be lucky and finish a game in as little as 30 minutes! This randomness, although often frustrating is what gives Arkham Horror its uniqueness. The game is a story that you are creating and its shared adventures will bring you together as players. It will also create unique moments that you will find yourself discussing long after the game has finished.It is worth pointing out that Arkham Horror is based on the Cthulhu mythos as seen from the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game. This means that it is not just based on Lovecraft’s writings but also those of writers such as August Derleth and Zealia Bishop. The game is subsequently full of theme. Allies are based on characters from Lovecraft’s stories, the Ancient Ones are taken direct from his writings, every monster in the game can be traced back to a particular story and even the dreaded Necronomicon makes an appearance. Readers of Lovecraft’s writing will love to find all the little nods.
The time under tension is an important variable for mechano-biological adaptations, because different times under tension affect different metabolic changes as well as motor unit (MU) recruitment and MU firing rates occurring during RT [17]. Furthermore, temporal distribution of isometric, concentric, and eccentric muscle action per repetition seemed to be also important [17]. However, the mode of muscle action (isometric, concentric, eccentric) had no effect on strength gains (p = 0.41–0.91). Our search identified 14 studies that reported information on muscle action-specific time under tension per repetition during RT (isometric: four studies, range 2.0–2.5 s; concentric: 14 studies, range 1.5–4 s; eccentric: 13 studies, range 1.5–3.5 s). The most effective time under tension amounted to 2.0 s (mean SMD bs = 2.70), 2.5 s (mean SMD bs = 3.44), and 3.0 s (mean SMD bs = 2.98) for isometric, concentric, and eccentric muscle actions, respectively. But to the best of our knowledge, there is no study that compared the effects of contraction duration on strength gains. The meta-analysis of Roig et al. [76] allows us at least some insight into muscle action-specific adaptive processes in healthy adults aged 18–65 years. These authors stated that separate eccentric muscle actions produce larger gains in muscle strength and morphology compared with concentric muscle actions. However, these findings have to be interpreted with caution because in several cases, isotonic RT is applied, which consists of concentric and eccentric muscle actions, so that information on muscle action-specific time under tension is needed. It has previously been hypothesized that a longer eccentric phase results in improved training efficiency because eccentric loads affect the protein synthesis and muscle activation and thus muscle hypertrophy and strength [77, 78]. The results concerning time under tension are limited by the low number of studies and by a lack of direct determination of the muscle action duration effects on strength gains. For example, no study has performed RT with longer contraction duration than 7.5 s per muscle action. Based on our and previous findings [17], we recommend that authors report time under tension, measured or estimated, as this seems an important variable underlying gains in muscle strength and muscle morphology.

In the first interview they would ask: ‘Do you **** whores and sniff coke? Do not come and work here if you don’t.’ They might even ask the interviewee to sing a song. They want to see if they can bend them over a barrel and get them to do what they want. Out of 10,000 brokers, 9,000 will be earning below the minimum wage. The majority will never succeed. The successful ones do not have a moral compass. Most people drop out after a couple of years because they burn out but I know old school brokers who’ve done it since the 1980s. We got trained by Jordan Belfort, the real-life Wolf of Wall Street. It cost £38,000 for an hour’s conference call with him from New York. Three different firms took part and there were 40 brokers in the room, sitting around a phone. He’s big on ‘rapport building’. He shows how to apply pressure in the right places - how to manipulate people in a controlled way. In all cases, brokers try to find the person’s motive for investing. When trust is established it’s very easy to make the ale or ‘load’ a client with a commodity. Loaders are a breed of broker and some can earn 40 per cent a deal on just the commission. ... A lot of contracts between broker and investor include ‘exit confirmation’ - the date when the return on investment is expected. But in many cases those clauses are a lie. A month or two before the exit strategy is due, the firm winds up and disappears. The owners - criminals in sharp suits - will set up shop, trade for a bit, then the company will close, only for the brokers to open another one. The next day they ring the same clients, but with different voices on the end of the phone. You might use a different name - nobody uses their real name. Many on the Barclays list were born in the 1930s. Old people are perfect targets because they are more trusting and they haven’t got long left. You hope they die before your exit strategy comes up.
The behaviour of living neurons, for example, is inseparable from the biochemicals from which they are made. But it doesn't matter what material the circuits of a neural network chip are etched in, so long as they operate in a digital fashion. Digital computers break down all data into strings of 1s and 0s, which the hardware stores as "ons" and "offs" in its memory. This forces the transistors inside computer chips to work as switches--they're either on or off. But transistors are not intrinsically digital. Between on and off they pass through a smooth series of values, and in these regions they can behave as amplifiers, for example. Computer designers, however, make little or no use of these properties. Likewise, programmers are constrained by the digital nature of computers. A program is a sequence of logic instructions that the computer applies to the 1s and 0s as they pass through its circuitry. So the evolution that is driven by genetic algorithms happens only in the virtual world of a programming language. What would happen, Thompson asked, if it were possible to strip away the digital constraints and apply evolution directly to the hardware? Would evolution be able to exploit all the electronic properties of silicon components in the same way that it has exploited the biochemical structures of the organic world? "I wanted to see what happens if you let evolution break out of the constraints that humans have," says Thompson. "If you give it some hardware, does it do new things?" These questions could only be answered if a way were found to combine the "wet" processes of biological evolution with the "dry" world of silicon chips. Thompson found the solution in a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The transistors in a conventional microprocessor are hardwired into logic gates, which carry out the processing. By contrast, the logic gates in an FPGA and their interconnections can be changed at will. The transistors are arranged into an array of "logic cells" and simply by loading a special program into the chip's configuration memory, circuit designers can turn each cell into any one of a number of logic gates, and connect it to any other cell. So by loading first one program, then another, the chip can be changed at a stroke from, say, an amplifier to a modem ("Software, who needs it? ", New Scientist, 2 November 1996, p 41).
Bloodline I Taliyah had almost forgotten how much she’d missed the furnace heat of Shurima – the sweat and crush of hundreds of people pushing, cursing, haggling and speaking with such passion and speed that outsiders often thought they were fighting. In all her travels, she’d never found anywhere with the sheer bustle and energy of her homeland. Ionia was wondrous, and the frozen landscapes of the Freljord were stunning in their own way, but the blazing sun of Shurima melted them from her memory as she set foot on the stone wharf of Bel’zhun. The connection she felt with this land’s bedrock surged through her like one of Babajan’s spiced teas. She’d been grinning from ear to ear as she climbed the steps from the docks, and even passing beneath the black stone of a Noxtoraa couldn’t dampen her spirits. Taliyah hadn’t stayed long in Bel’zhun. The Noxian warships in the harbor made her too nervous and brought back bad memories. She remained just long enough to buy supplies and catch the latest market-stall rumors carried from the deep desert by trade caravans. Most of it was conflicting and fantastical; visions of sand warriors, blizzards of lightning from clear skies and rivers flowing where no water had run for as far back as anyone could remember. For the sake of some friendly faces, she left Bel’zhun in the company of a heavily armed caravan of Nerimazeth silk-merchants heading south to Kenethet. She’d endured the rolling motion of the caravan long enough to reach the bone-souks of that notorious city on the northern borders of the Sai before striking out on her own. The caravan master - a whip-thin woman named Shamara, with eyes like polished jet - advised against traveling farther south, but Taliyah told her that her family needed her, and there were no more warnings. From Kenethet, she pushed ever south, following the winding arc of what people were once again calling the Mother of Life, a great river said to have its source in the capital of the ancient Shuriman empire. With no one around, she could make much better time, traveling with the rock as her steed, and riding its leading edge as she shaped it beneath her in sweeping waves that carried her ever southward toward Vekaura, a city she’d been told was half buried in the sand creeping out from the Sai.
Dorsal processes of epiplastra Generally, Proganochelys quenstedti was a large animal, sturdier and heavier than any other Triassic turtle known to date, it is also one of the most heavily armoured. Before the description of Odontochelys semitestacea such adaptations might have been interpreted as plesiomorphic for Testudinata, but the more gracile osteology of the Carnian turtle suggests that the sturdy build of Proganochelys quenstedti should instead be considered its own apomorphy. The presence of strong dorsal epiplastral processes contacting the carapace may be one of the consequences: although the dorsal processes themselves are interpreted by Gaffney (1990) as remnants of ancestral amniote clavicles, their additional articulation with the carapace and strengthening might have stabilized the shell, and thus serve as a more rigid point of attachment for the limb musculature (which probably was required to support the heavy body). Large dorsal epiplastral processes are present in the slightly smaller Palaeochersis talampayensis (Sterli et al., 2007), but are weaker and do not articulate with the carapace in more basal Proterochersis spp. and Keuperotesta limendorsa gen. et sp. nov. In Odontochelys semitestacea they obviously do not contact the carapace, because no suitable point of attachment was available (Li et al., 2008), but they possibly played a similar role, temporarily supporting and strengthening the limb musculature (weakened by changes in rib position), and disappeared when the torso of the animal became fully stiffened and the pectoral girdle received its derived shape. Thoracic ribs The presence of a well‐developed first thoracic rib in Proterochersis spp. fits into the evolutionary scenario of rib reduction in turtles (well‐developed first rib in Proterochersidae, still large, but excluded from carapace in Proganochelys quenstedti, and subsequently reduced in more advanced turtles), but seems to be incongruent with the nine thoracic ribs in Odontochelys semitestacea. Given that basalmost reptiles have numerous thoracic ribs (e.g. Romer, 1956), the evolutionary changes towards modern turtles would be indeed nonsensical and counterintuitive: the rib count would be reduced from many to nine (Odontochelys semitestacea), then again increased to ten (Proterochersidae), only to be reduced once more to nine plus one reduced (Proganochelys quenstedti), and subsequently to eight plus two reduced (more advanced turtles). The increase is particularly difficult to understand, as it would not result in a rise of trunk mobility: at that point the ribs were grown together, their heads were positioned between the vertebral centra, and they were fused together.
Airline officials have said they would operate the combined company from a headquarters in Texas. Arizona would have one fewer Fortune 500 company based here.The city would lose the airline headquarters. However, US Airways just signed a five-year lease on the existing headquarters building in downtown Tempe, which officials have said would be needed for support staff.A combined airline would offer more flights to more places, but whether the company would maintain all its existing hubs, including Phoenix, is undetermined. Consumer advocates also worry about consolidation in the industry leading to higher fares.Airline officials have said they intend to maintain the airport as a hub for the airline. But one issue with a Phoenix hub has long been that it’s dominated by vacationers seeking deals rather than business travelers paying full price for tickets. Airlines usually maintain the status quo for a time after a merger, for business and public-relations sake, but big cuts can come later. US Airways cut its number of Pittsburgh flights by one-third and closed its flight-attendant and pilot bases there two years after the 2005 America West/US Airways merger.US Airways operates out of Terminal 4 at Sky Harbor, and American operates out of Terminal 3. The airlines gradually will move both their operations to one terminal, likely the larger, more modern Terminal 4, as they combine operations.Nearly all the employees at the airlines are represented by unions, including the influential pilots and flight-attendants unions. They eventually will agree to work rules, but it could be a long wait. Pilots for the former America West Airlines, which merged with a bankrupt US Airways in 2005, still are hashing out their differences with the US Airways pilots.The name of US Airways Center, where the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury basketball teams play, would certainly change. American Airlines might be interested in keeping the venue sponsorship, but it already has an American Airlines Arena in Miami and an American Airlines Center in Dallas.
The spread of obesity occurs via a variety of mechanisms but we find evidence at a minimum for the role of norms. How can it be that there is a role of norms in the spread of obesity when the ideology in our society regarding thinness is the same as it ever was? The super models are just as thin as they ever were. Interestingly, there has been some change in the weight status of celebrities (there were always overweight celebrities, but I think there may be more now than there used to be); but super models are certainly as thin as they ever have been. This is the difference between ideology and norms. People see these images of super models, but they might be less influenced by them than by the actions and appearance of the people immediately around them. For example, we see that people might behave badly and engage in criminal acts. We still have the ideology that the Bill of Rights holds and the Constitution holds and that there is goodness and there is evil. But people still behave badly when they are surrounded by people who behave badly. Again, it is the difference between norms and ideology, and this is how we square the circle in terms of why it is that there can be a spread of obesity, or an obesity epidemic, even though as a society we still seem to revere a different kind of body type from the one we are increasingly seeing. James Fowler and I never expected to get the level of attention that we have for our work. On the morning of July 26th, I knew we were going to be in the New York Times because we had been interviewed by all these reporters prior to the appearance of our paper in the New England Journal of Medicine, and I'd been in the newspaper before, and the work was in a prominent journal, so I thought I knew what to expect, but when I went out that day and I was standing in my driveway and the article was so unexpectedly on the front page of New York Times, I went in to tell my wife and said, "You're not going to believe this." And after that, it just did not stop.
Harry E. Aitken (Majestic Films) The flexible, stealthy, and adventurous independents avoided coercive MPPC restrictions (the requirement to use only Trust film stock and projectors, for example) by using unlicensed equipment, obtaining their own film materials, and making films on the sly. Soon, they moved to California and opened up a rival film-making industry, where they could be comparatively safe, and there was abundant sunshine for film-making with a diverse number of landscapes. Independents were innovative in the making of longer, multi-reel feature films, as opposed to the standard-length one-reel films produced by the MPPC. And they realized that audiences desired to learn the names of uncredited film performers - hence, the development of the star system. The growth of Hollywood, the studio system, the take-over of cinema by businessmen and entrepreneurs, and the film star system were coming quickly. By 1911, dialogue titles (first used in 1910) came into popular use, and credits started to appear in films. (see more later) IMP (the Independent Moving Pictures) Company - Precursor to Universal Films/Pictures: By 1909, Carl Laemmle had become a feisty renegade and maverick movie mogul and film distributor. Involved in both movie distribution and film production, he founded his own company in New York in 1909 -- the Yankee Film Company, with Abe and Julius Stern. The studio was located at 11th Avenue and 53rd Street. Laemmle also started producing movies in Fort Lee, New Jersey in 1909. His first company was called the Independent Motion Pictures (IMP) Company, aka IMP Studios. Initially, Laemmle did not set up shop on the West Coast, but was making movies at his IMP production studio facilities - known also as the Universal Movie Studio in New Jersey at Fort Lee - the biggest studio in the world - until Universal City was built (see below). IMP's first film was the one-reel Hiawatha (1909) based on a Longfellow poem - it was arguably the first 'independent' film. D.W. Griffith also filmed a Civil War short in Fort Lee titled The Battle (1911) - a prologue to his ambitious and divisive epic The Birth of a Nation (1915) (featuring the film debut of Lionel Barrymore!). IMP's final two pictures made in NYC were the one-reel The Nurse (1912), and the two-reel The Dawn of Netta (1912) (it was the first film released by the newly-formed Universal Film Manufacturing Company, see below).
But there were also rituals that don’t exist anymore. As an apprentice your first work duty of the day was to take a sample from the lager tank (“zwickeln”). Beer from the tank was filled in a 1 liter jug, the jug including content was warmed to a pleasant drinking temperature, a bit warmer than in pubs and restaurants. After the beer has reached its drinking temperature, it was drank directly from the jug together by all attendees. As far as I can remember, this was the job with the greatest responsibility for an apprentice, the beer couldn’t be too cold or too warm, and we didn’t put a thermometer into the beer. These drinking rituals or the cold meals together on Friday afternoons were pleasant experiences that caused a feeling of togetherness. During my “Lehrzeit”, the terms “Ausbildung” and “Auszubildender” were legally only introduced in 1971, I also tried to brew beer at home, and we drank the results within the family, but it wasn’t convincing enough to try it a second time. Most of my work during the apprenticeship was cleaning lager tanks and fermentation vessels, putting up and stacking kegs, and occasionally polishing the copper vessels in the brewhouse. What have I learned? The basics of the malting and brewing process, that Germans drink a lot and make the best beer. The Belgians (North Rhine-Westphalia, as is well known, is bordering on Belgium) do absolutely terrible things, use unmalted grains and sugar, you get headaches from that. In Bavaria other beer was brewed, at that time Bavaria was still deemed as very backwards and exotic, and we had our Kölsch. I accomplished my exams, both the practical and the theoretical part, with “Good” [the second-best grade in the German school system], I just looked at my school report. If I remember correctly, I was one of the best apprentices.
"The alleged offending first came to light when I was researching another article about insurance. I called Youi to get a premium quote solely for that article. Realising that the staff member was on commission I informed him three minutes into the call that I was a journalist and the quote was needed for an article. Even after being made aware of this, the staff member claimed, as turned out to be common, that the Youi IT system could only generate a quote if payment details were entered, but nothing would be taken from my account. He knew the quote was for an article and never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be charged. To be careful I sent emails to the staff member to ensure the policy was cancelled. But the money was debited from my account none-the-less. I was so horrified that this could happen that I contacted the Commerce Commission, which subsequently launched an investigation/ "At the time Youi’s chief executive Danie Matthee told me that one rogue employee had been responsible and that he no longer worked for Youi. I soon became aware that my experiences weren’t a one-off and I tracked customer complaints from the middle of 2015. New complaints about Youi's sales methods and unexpected direct debits from accounts have appeared as often as several times a week on social media. "Even after the Commerce Commission investigation was launched customers continued to report the practices happening repeatedly. In February 2016, for example, 11 months after my investigation began, Simon Lundon complained to Youi that premiums were deducted from his bank account despite him believing he was only asking for a quote." Youi is a South African insurer that entered the New Zealand market in 2014, and is fully licensed as an insurer by the Reserve Bank. *Diana Clement can be reached by email at [email protected]
quite sure myself that the following is the correct translation. Even if the claim is true, and Barclay knowingly lied, it is logically fallacious to claim this fact exonerates the WT from twisting its quote from him. It is an obvious example of the "poisoning the well" fallacy. But it is not clear that Barclay lied in the first place. Notice his "grammatically impossible" comment does not refer to Jn 1:1c, but the entire verse. This verse starts with the phrase "Originally the Word was" (reflecting the wording of the 1950 Edition, later revised to the more familiar "In the beginning"). This rendering obscures the parallel with Gen 1:1, which John was echoing. Notice that the original NWT translates the Greek as an adverb, not a noun. No Greek grammar or lexicon states it is permissible to translate a dative noun as an adverb. Also, the traditional rendering follows the Greek precisely. So, Barclay may have possibly been referring to the verse in its entirety, not merely the "a god" rendering. Also, as you can see by the inclusion of Barclay's original comments (replaced with "..." on all JW websites I could find, which suggests a common source), the phrase " It is abundantly clear that a sect which can translate the New Testament like that is intellectually dishonest" actually referred to more than just Jn 1:1. Or, more likely, he did not remember what he had said about the NWT some 20-odd years before. It was, after all, a brief article written just 3 years after the release of the NWT Christian Greek Scriptures. At the time, he may well have been convinced by the so-called Colwell's Rule (see here for more details) and thought it was grammatically impossible, but over the intervening years, revised his opinion. Be that as it may, the fact remains that the WT is guilty of "judiciously cutting" Barclay's remarks so as confuse its readers, if not openly deceive them.
The National Research Council's 1996 National Science Education Standards (NSES), often used as a benchmark to evaluate the content of state science standards and textbooks, identifies evolution as one of the five “unifying concepts and processes” that provide the “big picture of scientific ideas.” The NSES further identifies 11 benchmarks (for example, natural selection, biological adaptation) for states and textbook editors to use in determining the content for high school biology materials. Community pressures place significant stress on teachers as they try to teach evolution, stresses that can lead them to de-emphasize, downplay, or ignore the topic. We followed most previous studies in asking teachers to think about how they allocate time over the course of the school year. We went a step further in also asking whether evolution serves as a unifying theme for the content of the course. Over the entire year of high school biology we found substantial variation among America's high school teachers (see Table 1). Not surprisingly, we found that those who take most seriously the advice of NSES to make evolution a unifying theme spent the most time on evolution. Overall, teachers devoted an average of 13.7 hours to general evolutionary processes (including human evolution), with 59% allocating between three and 15 hours of class time (see Table S1). Only 2% excluded evolution entirely. But significantly fewer teachers covered human evolution, which is not included as an NSES benchmark. Of teachers surveyed, 17% did not cover human evolution at all in their biology class, while a majority of teachers (60%) spent between one and five hours of class time on it. PPT PowerPoint slide
ByThe public ledger of transactions that permits the decentralization of Bitcoin also leaks tremendous amounts of financial information to the world. In this regard, the Bitcoin Blockchain is both a blessing and a curse. The data on the Blockchain can easily be analyzed to reveal the identity of some users, and the common ownership of many Bitcoin addresses. It's the perfect tool for any organization tasked with financial surveillance for nefarious or commercial purposes. In response to this design flaw, Bitcoin mixing emerged early on in Bitcoin's short history. Also known as Bitcoin "tumbling" or "laundry," mixing obscures the flow of bitcoins from one address to the next. Bitcoin users can use mixers to obscure ownership by cooperating with other users to mix each other's coins together, by performing accounting that takes place off the Blockchain, or some combination of the two. Maintainers of the Bitcoin code have been reluctant to incorporate mixing technologies into the core Bitcoin protocol. Not only would incorporation of mixing into Bitcoin be politically unpalatable for some, but it would potentially complicate an extremely delicate system. This multi-billion dollar currency requires software-based consensus never before seen by the world; even software bugs that emerged early in Bitcoin's history must be carried forward in perpetuity, lest their correction prompt an unforeseen consequence that causes the network to come crashing to a halt. Incorporating mixing technologies into Bitcoin would be the most thorough and accessible way to bring financial privacy to the greatest number of Bitcoin users, so it's unfortunate that the Bitcoin developers are not moving in this direction. Nonetheless, we still have the option of implementing mixing technologies outside of the core protocol, providing services that users can opt-in to.If you wanted to create a Bitcoin service, the fastest way to accomplish this would be to set up a new wallet for that service, and receive bitcoins from customers. Not only is this approach simple for your programmers, but it's also a centralized financial model that is familiar to all of us emerging from the legacy banking system, in which customers deposit funds directly into bank accounts, and banks transfer that money to other institutions on the customers' behalf. It's no surprise, then, that the first generation of Bitcoin mixers have operated in this fashion. The steps for using a first-generation mixing service are as follows:1 BTC (customer A) ? Y 1 BTC (customer B) ?
In lesson 1 on jazz soloing we looked at arpeggios, and saw that an arpeggio is just the notes of a chord played one after the other rather than all at the same time. More interestingly, we also saw how a Bm7b5 arpeggio can be used to solo against a G7 chord to create a jazzy G9 sound.We're now going to look at a 3 chord blues progression and see how we can use different arpeggios to solo over each of the three chords.Here's a simple, 3 chord version of a 12 bar blues in the key of C. We looked at this in an earlier lesson C7 / / / | F7 / / / | C7 / / / | C7 / / / |F7 / / / | F7 / / / | C7 / / / | C7 / / / |G7 / / / | F7 / / / | C7 / / / | G7 / / / |We can see there are three chords in the sequence above : C7, F7 and G7.Now we already know that we can play a Bm7b5 arpeggio against the G7 chord to create a G9 sound. But what can we play against the C7 and F7 chords?The answer is that if we use the same sort of substitution as with the Bm7b5 against the G7 chord it works out that we can play an Em7b5 arpeggio against the C7 to create a C9 sound, and an Am7b5 arpeggio against the F7 to create an F9 sound. Here's how it all looks:Chord Arpeggio to playC7 Em7b5F7 Am7b5G7 Bm7b5You might remember from lesson 1 that we counted 6 steps through the musical alphabet to work out which m7b5 arpeggio matches which 9th chord. Em7b5 matches with C9 because E to C is 6 steps. Similarly Am7b5 matches with F9 because A to F is 6 steps. Bm7b5 matches with G9 because B to G is 6 steps.So the idea is that every time the chord changes, we play a new arpeggio against it. Here are the fingering diagrams for the three different arpeggios we need. Notice that it's exactly the same pattern every time, only starting in a different place on the guitar fingerboard.Click on each fingering diagram to hear how the arpeggio sounds (first played slowly, then a little faster): m7b5 Arpeggios
“It’s one thing if you knowledgeably invest in a company and say you know you buy shares from a startup,” he notes. “I might make money or I might lose my shirt. Then you only have yourself to blame. But if the money gets taken away from you and it does not get invested or you didn’t OK it, that’s not right.” Daniel Kurgan has gathered up bits and pieces of information as best he can, a jumble of clues that has yet to come together into a coherent whole. Out of respect for Salavrakos’s widow and daughters, he is understandably wary of saying much. “One of my main assumptions now is that part of this whole drama is that it didn’t go as he hoped and everything collapsed around him,” he says. “At some point he was looking for money to refinance and then the thing collapsed and he was completely caught, right? It was a spiral.” He does not quantify the size of his financial loss. “It’s enough for me to care and take action,” he says. “It’s not immaterial but it’s not in millions, certainly not.” Seeking answers sounds more like a moral quest. “It’s more of a question of principle towards my children,” he says. “Some people are in deep trouble. It is certainly worth an article,” he says. “If there is a bit more noise perhaps it can create some more activity.” The receiver for Remaco in Brussels says their investigation is at its early stages. “We’re still trying to gather as much information as possible,” says Maarten Bentein. “We need to know where, I mean, there was a flow of funds as you mentioned. Where did these funds come from? Are these legal or illegal funds?” Prior to speaking with the Star, Bentein had never heard of Arcadian Securities. “This is the first I hear from this,” he says, adding later, “This Alex Salavrakos is a very clever guy it seems.” Beat Raemy says he, too, is out funds — he held more than 800,000 Spatial View shares. “For my own sanity I would like to know, who was Alex? What happened? What’s true of this? What’s not?” Alanna McGuire is looking for a way forward. “Somehow I’ve got to reinvent myself,” she says, adding that she needs a means to supplement her state pension. “Nothing makes sense,” she says of the drama she has found herself in.
That night in July was the beginning of a medical odyssey—five days of surgery, seven weeks in a coma, six months in the hospital—that would eventually deliver her, in her own time and her own way, to the story of 52 Blue.
The variable operation of high vowel deletion in Old English has long been a point of difficulty, both descriptively – a prehistoric form like * hēafudu is attested variably as hēafudu , hēafdu , and hēafod – and theoretically. Recent work, especially by Bermúdez‐Otero (2005b) and Fulk (2010), has indicated that plural forms like hēafudu are most likely original, but accounting for why the medial * u is preserved in this case form, and not in hēafde , the dative singular of the same word, has remained theoretically problematic. These difficulties arise from attempting to describe the prehistoric Old English process of high vowel deletion on the basis of later Old English phonology. At an earlier stage, the nominative‐accusative plural * hēafudu could be exhaustively parsed into two precisely bimoraic feet: *[hēa][.fu.du]. The dative singular historically ended with a long vowel, * hēafudǣ , in which the medial * u could not be accommodated within a bimoraic foot: *[hēa].fu[.dǣ]. High vowel deletion is therefore best characterized as the deletion of unfooted high vowels in early Old English, initially operating while length in unstressed vowels remained contrastive. Both this quantitative system and the preference for precisely bimoraic units receive support from Kaluza's law, an archaic metrical phenomenon in Beowulf which prohibits resolution in secondary metrical ictus if the resulting unit would have more than two moras, and which is sensitive to prehistoric length distinctions. This original system was obscured, linguistically and metrically, in later Old English by the shortening of unstressed long vowels, triggering various morphological reanalyses of the effects of high vowel deletion. A review of these changes suggests that the system of metrical phonology described here provides a more plausible starting point for the reworkings that produced the forms found in later Old English than do alternative accounts such as those of Campbell (1983) or Ringe (2002).
The Code S November 2011 champion spent nearly two years being considered a one-hit wonder before reappearing out of nowhere to make a top six run in Code S. Though it might be a stretch to compare the two players, just knowing that a comeback is possible after such a long time provides a small amount of comfort.The other player Seed could look to for hope is in this very group.was the final Code S champion of Wings of Liberty, but subsequently fell into a deep slump with the release of Heart of the Swarm. He was destined to be remembered as the PatchZerg to rule all PatchZergs until he started to turn things around toward the end of 2013. Employing an especially frustrating brand of swarm host play that is reminiscent of his BL-infestor abuse in WoL, RorO has emerged once more as a player of note.RorO had a respectable run in the last Code S season, reaching the Ro16 before being eliminated in two ZvZ losses to Life. In Proleague, RorO has quietly recorded an excellent 9-4 record after two rounds, which is the best of all Zergs in that tournament. Because RorO hasn't had that many matches against Code S title contenders, it's hard to say how deep a run he could make this season. But at least in Code A, he's strongly favored to dominate the competition and advance.might not have RorO's championship pedigree, but he enters this season with a similar background in other aspects. He also reached the Ro16 of the previous Code S season, only to be eliminated with losses in the mirror match-up. Like RorO, he's going under the radar in Proleague despite having a very solid 7-3 record. And just like RorO, he's a player who seems like he has the potential to make a deep run despite some lingering doubts.Classic is a very good player for sure, finding plenty of playing time on a stacked SKT roster and making the top eight in a stacked IEM Cologne (his qualifier run was more impressive than his showing at the actual tournament). His creative all-ins give him a unique edge, while he can play a mean macro game as well. Yet, it feels like Classic has hit a wall in terms of individual league success, unable to overcome the more experienced players in the scene.

We do not want to get into a debate as to whether this behavior on the part of the credit card companies can be justified on the basis of the benefits that the card company creates for the firms that accept its card.19 Our main point is that calling something a “firm” should not immunize its actions from antitrust scrutiny if the effect of those actions is the equivalent of the formation of a coalition of agents with market power that have the ability to place a monopoly tax on others.20 Firms can be viewed as a low-transaction cost way of organizing buyers to advantage themselves at the expense of other buyers.
I'm not going to argue with the wide variance between skill sets, as I agree with your point. But I would argue that the vast majority of those who are currently doing the mod stealing do not even have the capability or the wherewithal or the patience for even the simpler DRM cracking you have described. And for most that do, some will decide it's not worth the effort. The bottom line is that pirating FO4 mods has been made far, far too easy right now. The barriers to entry are far too minimal, and the potential consequences are... inconsequential. For one, the CK, for all its warts, makes ripping another's work all too easy. And with nary the effort put into curating the resulting content, it's no wonder pirating is so rampant. Even a weak, easily breakable DRM would thwart 90% of them. But Beth doesn't even tie the upload account to a verifiable real world identity, and doesn't even bother with IP tracking either, thereby allowing the miscreants full anonymity and no means to perma-ban them. I am just flummoxed by how they could have not taken two seconds to consider any of this prior to opening the flood gates.

The XF4U-1 first went aloft on May 1, 1940 and five months later flew the 45 miles (73 km) between Stratford and Hartford, Connecticut at a speed of 405 miles per hour (651.8 kph), becoming the first production aircraft to exceed 400 mph in level flight. The US Navy was very pleased with the performance of the Corsair and, in June 1941, ordered 584 copies. Over the next 11 years that figure would grow to over 12,500 F4Us. Several stumbling blocks developed when carrier trials were held aboard the USS Sangamon and other carriers in late 1941. The biggest problem was the long nose. It stuck out 14 feet (4.27 m) in front of the pilot, and when the Corsair was sitting in take-off position, the nose pointed up at an angle sufficient to block forward vision to about 12º above the horizon. In carrier landings it was practically impossible to see the Landing Signals Officer, once the Corsair was lined up with the carrier deck on final approach. Adding to this problem were oil and hydraulic leaks from the engine compartment which seeped past the cowl flaps and smeared the windshield, further restricting visibility. Landing on a carrier deck required the pilot to have the plane at stall speed just as the tail-hook snagged the deck wire, but this was made very difficult by the wicked stall characteristics of the F4U. Just as stall speed was reached, the left wing tended to drop like a rock. In a deck landing this could cause the landing gear to collapse resulting in injuries to the pilot and severe damage to the aircraft. Assuming luck was with the pilot and he landed intact, the Corsair normally "bottomed out" the shock absorbers as it slammed down on the deck. The resulting recoil caused the plane to bounce high in the air. The tailhook itself sometimes failed to "trap" the plane by engaging an arrestor wire. If this happened on a straight deck carrier it usually meant the aircraft plowed into the planes parked forward. (Angle decks did not start appearing on US carriers until 1952.) It was said on a straight deck carrier there were only two kinds of landings; a "trap" and a catastrophe! As the Corsair was thought by the Navy to be unsuitable for carrier duty, it was given to the US Marines for land-based operations where it earned an outstanding combat record.

Several shareholders who have read the whistle-blower complaint have told me that it is hard to believe a report produced by a set of lawyers hired by a set of accused, such a report giving a clean chit to the accused, and the accused refusing to disclose why they got a clean chit!4. Even if the company does not want to release any of these reports, what prevents the board from answering my questions which are purely based on the whistle-blower accusations and which will, once and for all, clear the air about the special treatment shown to Mr. Rajiv Bansal and Mr. David Kennedy?5. The most worrisome aspect of the whistle-blower accusation is his or her claim that there was an e-mail sent by Mr. David Kennedy to Dr. Vishal Sikka that Mr. Kennedy could not hide the Bansal agreement from the board and the CFO any longer. It is best that the company scotches this accusation either by denying the existence of such an e-mail with proof and clearing the names of both Mr. Kennedy and Dr. Sikka, or by explaining to the shareholders what action was taken against the individuals who hid information from the board and from the new CFO who signs the SOX statement. Let us remember that the whistle-blower mentions even the company auditors as being part of this event.6. Then there is the issue of the Chair of the board, telling shareholders at the Infosys AGM in 2016 that Mr. Bansal had some special secret competitive data and that is why the company wrote an agreement to pay him Rs. 23 Crores. There can be no confidentiality issue in releasing the part of the report that talks about the special secretive competitive data with Mr. Bansal that the investigation has unearthed.7. What were the objections of the former CFO - Mr. Rajiv Bansal regarding Panaya acquisition as evidenced by the three investigations, e-mails and transcripts of mobile conversations obtained from mobile carrier companies?8. Can the company categorically deny that any employee and /or his / her relative (spouse, father, mother, brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces, children, spouse's father, mother, sisters, brothers, nephews and nieces) benefitted personally in the Panaya acquisition?9.
Whether the law in question sufficiently impairs the group of rights inhering in the property in question as to amount to an involuntary taking of that property, presents questions of substance and degree, rather than merely of form. That this is so is well settled by authority beginning at least with the reasons of Dixon J in Bank of New South Wales v The Commonwealth ("the Banking Case") [157] In that regard something should be said respecting three cases upon the development of doctrine from which submissions in the present matters sought to draw support. They are Minister of State for the Army v Dalziel [158] Banking Case [159] Tasmanian Dam Case [160] The respondent in Dalziel occupied, as a weekly tenant of Bank of New South Wales, vacant land in the Sydney central business district upon which he conducted a parking station. In pursuance of authority conferred by regulations made under the National Security Act 1939 (Cth) the Minister took possession of that land for defence use purposes as fully "as if" the Minister held an unencumbered fee simple, and for a period not to extend more than six months after war hostilities ceased. The Minister unsuccessfully submitted that Dalziel retained his weekly tenancy and the Bank its fee simple in the land, and that there had been no taking of any recognised estate or interest in the land, and therefore there had been no "acquisition" [161] Latham CJ, although in dissent, did indicate that as applied to land the term "property" in s 51(xxxi) may mean both the physical subject matter in relation to which exist rights of ownership, including a range of uses, and those rights of ownership themselves [162] The present matters before the Court concern intellectual property which has no physical subject matter, unlike a parcel of land or a chattel [163] Packaging Act operates. Like a parcel of land, there might be postulated many uses of that physical subject matter, and thus a range of restraints or "regulation" of that subject matter. However, as counsel for Van Nelle correctly accepted, the only use to be postulated of the packaging was as a cigarette container.

A long story in the NYT tells us that the current leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the caliph himself, drew his political formation from America’s own efforts to “do something” in Iraq: “He was a street thug when we picked him up in 2004,” said a Pentagon official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters. “It’s hard to imagine we could have had a crystal ball then that would tell us he’d become head of ISIS.” At every turn, Mr. Baghdadi’s rise has been shaped by the United States’ involvement in Iraq — most of the political changes that fueled his fight, or led to his promotion, were born directly from some American action. And now he has forced a new chapter of that intervention, after ISIS’ military successes and brutal massacres of minorities in its advance prompted President Obama to order airstrikes in Iraq. Of course everyone including Hillary Clinton “knows” that you should only do something when it’s smart and not when it’s stupid. In her books and speeches, she is most impressive when showing commanding knowledge of the complexities and contradictions of negotiating with the Russians and Chinese, and why you can’t just “be tough” in dealings with them. In those specifics, she can sound like the description I just came across, in Christopher Clark’s The Sleepwalkers, about some pre-World War I Balkan leaders: “It is a characteristic of the most skillful politicians that they are capable of reasoning simultaneously at different levels of conditionality. [One Serbian figure] wanted peace, but he also believed — he never concealed it — that the final historical phase of Serbian expansion would in all probability not be achieved without war.” But in this interview — assuming it's not "out of context" — she is often making the broad, lazy "do something" points and avoiding the harder ones. She appears to disdain the president for exactly the kind of slogan—"don't do stupid shit"—that her husband would have been proud of for its apparent simplicity but potential breadth and depth. (Remember "It's the economy, stupid"?) Meanwhile she offers her own radically simplified view of the Middle East—Netanyahu right, others wrong—that is at odds with what she did in the State Department and what she would likely have to do in the White House. David Brooks was heartened by this possible preview of a Hillary Clinton administration's policy.

I bet I could win vs avilo while ragequittingMacro vs goody, because goody has a very exciting playstyle.Ragequit vs elfi because he most likely just killed you with the most dumb thing in the world.I'd like to thank my sponsors MSI, SteelSeries, EIZO, Winamax and fragnet.Maximus black changed my life in many ways so thank him for that.Elroy Pinto for being the best manager imaginable and the rest of team Fnatic for being fun and cool.Also bouli and the kingdom.Zanster: Hello, my ID is Zanster and I'm the guy that taught miniraser the few things he knows about Starcraft.It's been alright, but much slower than I expected it to be.I expected myself to make it in 2013 so I guess I'm relieved to not have failed again.No it wasn't awkward at all. I think it was a bit bittersweet for bouli since he was only one round from double elim, and both me and Harstem knew he would qualify anyway.I would say I'm a bit impatient and like to make things happen without taking too big risks.He just can't comprehend the brilliance in some of my moves. And to be fair, sometimes I can't either.Well I don't know what it's like to trying to be a pro at an older age so it's hard to say. I guess you might have more pressure on you the older you get? And I don't go to school at the moment so that's not a problem.No not really.I saw a youtube video with someone (I think it was Husky) and it was love at first sight. I find the other esport games very boring so I couldn't imagine playing them competitively.They're pretty supportive.The only people I don't want to face are miniraser, Harstem and uthermal. It would be fun to play Naniwa, but im not super confident against him so maybe it would be better to play him somewhere else.I don't really hate any food but im not a huge fan of tacos.WCS Europe for sure.I would ask them what they could give me in return for saving them, and then save Harstem.macro rotterdam, ragequit goody, and all-in elfi.Thanks to my sponsors MSI, SteelSeries, EIZO, Winamax and fragnet. I will make good result so please cheer for me.Also shoutout to Sasquatch.

“If you ask: ‘Who in the world today is willing to kill themselves to kill others?’ It is only the Muslims. I don’t know another religion or another place where a person is willing to take a bomb and blow up and kill himself.”On the other hand, a military strike on Iran is not viable.Israel and the rest of the world are also mistaken in focusing just on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile program. It’s enough, Eitan said, to place a bomb in a shipping container and detonate it off the coast of Tel Aviv or Haifa and destroy both.“So, how would you stop Iran?” I asked. “As the fate of the Iran deal remains in question – President Donald Trump decertified the agreement in October, but Congress has yet to propose an alternative – would you keep the deal in place or work to modify it, as Trump has said he would like to do?”Eitan dismissed both options. The only real solution to the Iranian nuclear problem, he said, is for the world to invest more in overthrowing the ayatollahs.Iran, he said, carefully studied the Israeli air strike against Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981, and understood that it not only needed to disperse its nuclear facilities, but also to bury them deep underground.“The Iranians asked themselves who would oppose their nuclear program and who would potentially attack,” he explained. “The answer was Israel, and after studying Osirak, they dug tunnels to make it hard for our bombs to destroy their facilities.”And while the Israel Air Force said it could destroy the openings to the tunnels and delay Iran’s nuclear program by a year, Eitan said such an operation would be a waste of time.“The only real option to neutralize the facilities is with ground forces – to send soldiers in on the ground and destroy the tunnels,” he said. “This we could not do without the Americans, and there was no logic to use the IAF when the damage would just be for a year or two.”While he doesn’t know for certain, Eitan believes that Iran already has enough fissionable material to make a nuclear weapon. In other words, he said, with a military strike not feasible and Trump unlikely to dramatically succeed in changing the deal, the only real way to stop Iran is to invest more in changing the regime.“Iran’s citizens are against the ayatollah regime,” he said.

MUMBAI: Four current and former employees of a company tasked with storing and distributing digital content on a streaming app were arrested on Monday for the online leak of the fourth episode of the popular fantasy TV series 'Game of Thrones'.Three of them, identified as Abhishek Ghadiyal , Bhaskar Joshi and Alok Sharma, are current employees of Prime Focus Technologies , while the fourth, Mohammed Suhail, is a former staffer.During its probe, the Mumbai police cyber crime wing discovered that Ghadiyal allegedly passed on his admin user ID and password to Suhail, who in turn leaked the episode on a Friday, two days before it was due for global release on Monday. A direct link to the MP4 file was found on Star India's own distribution site, allowing people to download the episode for free before sharing it through other internet sources.Mumbai police said, on August 4, Prime Focus Technologies lodged a complaint that it had stored the fourth episode of 'Game of Thrones' on its servers so that it could be streamed on Star India's Hotstar. But they learnt that somebody leaked the show before its release date.The firm started internal inquiries and found out that only a few select senior employees were given the admin ID and its passwords for storing and processing the data on the firm's server. These internal servers can be accessed from Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kolkata.Ghadiyal works as a test engineer, and Joshi and Sharma are assistants to Ghadiyal. Police have invoked sections 408 (criminal breach of trust by clerk or servant), and 34 (common intention) of the IPC, as well as 43 (damage to computer, computer system, etc) and 66 (computer related offences) of the IT Act.During further investigations of Ghadiyal's call detail records, it was found that he was in constant touch with Joshi and Sharma. "We have arrested all the four and now we are going to interrogate them separately to know on whose instruction the episode was leaked, and who stood to benefit from it," a senior officer close to the investigation said.
Suicidality Woman : I was suicidal for years and thought God thought I was dirty Man: These traumatic experiences cast a shadow over my entire adolescence and marred my church experience. All of us young men knew that these “worthiness interviews” served one main purpose: to ascertain if we were looking at porn and/or masturbating. Being required to discuss my body so vulnerably every six months with an authoritative man induced fear and shame in me that I am still trying to shake off 20 years later. Even though my bishops were kind men, I feared them and would do anything to avoid them. The feelings of depression, suicidality, and self-loathing caused by these interviews are real. Minors are not matured enough to be able to give consent to be questioned about something so invasive and personal. IT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SEXUAL ABUSE. Unfortunately when I was young, nobody protected me. But now as a recovering adult, I will do anything I can to help end this inappropriate abuse. Man: This practice destroyed my self-esteem, caused me to experience nearly relentless anxiety from age 8 on and led me to take desperate actions to “fix” myself of normal adolescent behavior deemed to be amoral. This extreme and relentless psychological distress eventually royally messed up the trajectory of my life as I took desperate measures to avoid additional ecclesiastical punishment. This must be stopped before any other child goes through this simply because they are honest. Woman: I was suicidal as a teen because of the over emphasis on masturbation as a wrong thing. I also made other poor decisions because I felt unworthy and that it didn’t matter what I did because I was already unworthy. There was a great deal of self loathing. I still can’t look at my face in the mirror without hating what I see because I used to look at myself after I masturbated and think how ugly I looked without the spirit and how I would have to tell my bishop that I had slipped up again. That should never have happened. Man: I was asked about my masturbation habits by Mormon ecclesiastical leaders from age 12 until age 35 when I finally resigned my membership. This practice has to stop. Items 2-7, 9, 10 on the list of potential harm all apply to me. That includes attempting suicide. Protect Our Children

Figure 7. Typical and atypical development of micro-movement patterns. The stochastic signatures of velocity-dependent variability captured in the normalized maximum speed (V max /(V max + V avrg )) of hand pointing motions across different ages. The shape and scale estimated parameters of the continuous two-parameter Gamma probability distribution family uniquely labels each individual in the group (78 participants total). (A) Fourty-four typical controls self-cluster by age along the line of unity on the log-log Gamma plane according to a scaling power law. (B) Thirty-four participants with ASD also align on the line of unity. Notice that the 34 ASD participants include verbal and non-verbal subjects, spanning from 4 to 25 years of age, yet they all fall along the statistical region of the TD 3–4 years old. (C) Estimated probability distributions of the velocity-dependent parameter for all TD subjects using their empirically obtained hand speed profiles. Notice that the noise-to-signal ratio changes dramatically from 3–4 to 4–5 years of age along with the bandwidth of parameter values that the distribution spans across subjects (p < 10−5). All the 3–4 year old subjects collapsed on the same curve with the noise overpowering the signal but the 4–5 year old subjects have acquired a kinesthetic percept with significantly lower noise-to-signal ratio and broader bandwidth. Such diversification of the kinesthetic input is maximal in the adults who have highly reliable and predictive kinesthetic input. (D,E) The kinesthetic input of the ASD participants—unlike that of the 3–4 TD—was unreliable and noisy with narrow bandwidth of parameter values. However, some of the verbal females with ASD separate from the non-verbal females with ASD and from all other subjects (black curves with lower dispersion and centered at 0.62) but do not quite reach the level of kinesthetic input reliability of the TD. The micro-movements in the ASD males are indistinguishable between verbal and non-verbal participants.
Implications for Current Practice Although obesity is clearly linked to GERD, its relationship with FGIDs and related GI symptoms remains tenuous. Obesity has an epidemiologic association with diarrhea, in particular, but it has inconsistent associations with other foregut symptoms (eg, nausea, bloating, upper abdominal pain) and hindgut symptoms (eg, constipation, lower abdominal pain). Moreover, it remains unclear whether these associations, however tenuous, imply causations. The available data indicate that weight loss may modestly improve both upper and lower abdominal GI symptoms, thus suggesting a potential causal link. Obesity is a major risk factor for a range of serious medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease, pancreatitis, and liver disease, among many other conditions. All medical practitioners, including gastroenterologists, must remain aggressive about addressing and treating obesity in their patients. Although it may be premature to claim that weight loss can alleviate the symptoms of FGIDs, it is unlikely that weight loss will exacerbate these symptoms. Given the strength of the available evidence, it seems reasonable to tell patients that weight loss may modestly improve GERD and other symptoms, particularly diarrhea, and that this benefit is one of many that weight loss can provide. Although the pathophysiology linking obesity to FGID-related symptoms is evolving, patients may benefit from a high-level understanding that weight loss may improve a range of abnormal eating behaviors, positively improve GI hormone levels, and potentially help regulate GI motility. Finally, physicians should always remain wary of PPI use that is not otherwise indicated and should discontinue PPIs in patients with chronic GI complaints who may not otherwise benefit from the antisecretory properties of these medicines.

You answered that it was his fault, but Samantha told him that other people had same issues and that the case is being investigated, which just assured him he's right. Not much I can do in this situation.Another issue is a guy who admits he wrote a wrong price, but couldn't cancel the transaction. It would be a good thing to make the marketplace more noob friendly. Make them enter the price twice or allow them to cancel the transaction within a certain time (like 5 min).There's a similar thread with a claim made by a scammer, nobody cares about it or answers.We also have a thread in which some hater whines that the fees are too high and you could drop these and make a profit.

Saturday’s “Unite the Right” rally was in some sense about public space. Its organizers aim to defend a statue that affirms their history, one that affirms white supremacy as official power. They also engaged in a legal battle to stage the protest in their park of choice, Emancipation Park—one that the city deemed unsafe for a white supremacist rally. And in the hours before the rally, they won that fight, potentially upsetting the city’s safety preparations. Cities are changing fast. Keep up with the CityLab Daily newsletter. The best way to follow issues you care about. Subscribe Loading... That is the textual explanation: This is a rally about a statue in a park. That’s how the rally’s organizers frame their demonstrations, as conservative and preservationist in nature. But the alt-right’s fight is also with public space. Fascism rejects the free flow of speech and ideas. It is an attack on the public sphere. Saturday proved that. Intimidation is also an attack on public space. And in open-carry states, Virginia among them, the far right uses weapons to chill free speech. Consider this scene from Charlottesville: To be clear, these are NOT national guard but racist private militias posing as state actors to protect nazis and provoke. pic.twitter.com/PuoHNmXRpg — Tom Perriello (@tomperriello) August 12, 2017 In open-carry states, lawmakers have visibly ceded law enforcement authority to racist provocateurs. Open-carry rights do not extend to black people, not in any safe or meaningful way, so the terms of this “debate”—between minorities trying to live and whites trying to suppress them—cannot be evened. Open carry is incompatible with the notion of public space and free speech. A public square is not possible in states with open-carry laws. Public squares are vulnerable to car assaults because they are designed (ideally) to be broad, open, and accessible to many people for many purposes. A car assault in May in New York’s Times Square—perhaps America’s most famous public square—triggered fears that it had been a terrorist attack. (Instead, the driver was under the influence of serious drugs and afflicted by mental problems.) One person died in the Times Square crash, and 22 were injured. The crash might have proven even more fatal, were it not for the anti-ram steel security bollards that stopped the car, one feature among many added since 2010 to make Times Square safer for pedestrians.
However, laboratory experiments bore out that occasionally aphids were able to escape a f t e r a 45 minute delay. Therefore, the f i e l d r e s u l t s probably overestimated the number of aphids a c t u a l l y eaten. With most predator-prey studies the types of prey consumed are measured by an analysis of stomach contents. This i s not possible with spiders because they regurgitate digestive f l u i d into t h e i r prey and then ingest a pre-digested l i q u i d mixture. The species composition of the diet can be determined by s e r o l o g i c a l techniques (Loughton et a l . 1963, Greenstone 1979). However, these were not adopted because i t was simpler, and as accurate, to record the prey found i n webs. In order to gauge the a v a i l a b i l i t y of prey groups, eleven glass pl a t e s , 15 cm square, were coated with "stick-em", a commercial preparation often used i n sampling small insects, and placed i n the same general areas where juvenile spider webs were found. Each trap was l e f t exposed for 12 days. Six were hung outside onAiJuly. .5,-and f i v e were hung, outside on August 7. Insects between 1mm and 5mm long, captured on the sticky traps, Were.identified to taxonomic order. Homopterans and Hymenopterans were further categorized i n the same way as prey captured i n webs. Prey larger than 5mm were seldom captured on these traps and assumed to be beyond the s i z e range s p i d e r l i n g s were capable of handling. 9 Because the census only provided a snapshot view of daily catches, an experiment was conducted to determine whether or not this was a good estimate of the number of prey captured i n a day. Fourteen webs, over f i v e days, were examined hourly from the time of spinning u n t i l dismantling, and the number of prey captured by each was recorded.
This self-governing procedure may come as a surprise to many to learn that in the assemblies of Buddhists in India 2,500 years and more ago are to be found the rudiments of the parliamentary practice of the present day. A special officer similar to 'Mr. Speaker' was appointed to preserve the dignity of the Parliamentary Chief Whip, was also appointed to see if the quorum was secured. Matters were put forward in the form of a motion which was open to discussion. In some cases it was done once, in others three times, thus anticipating the practice of Parliament in requiring that a bill be read a third time before it becomes law. If the discussion showed a difference of opinion, it was to be settled by the vote of the majority through balloting. The Buddhist approach to political power is the moralization and the responsible use of public power. The Buddha preached non-violence and peace as a universal message. He did not approve of violence or the destruction of life, and declared that there is no such thing as a 'just' war. He taught: 'The victor breeds hatred, the defeated lives in misery. He who renounces both victory and defeat is happy and peaceful.' Not only did the Buddha teach non-violence and peace, He was perhaps the first and only religious teacher who went to the battlefield personally to prevent the outbreak of a war. He diffused tension between the Sakyas and the Koliyas who were about to wage war over the waters of Rohini. He also dissuaded King Ajatasattu from attacking the Kingdom of the Vajjis. The Buddha discussed the importance and the prerequisites of a good government. He showed how the country could become corrupt, degenerate and unhappy when the head of the government becomes corrupt and unjust. He spoke against corruption and how a government should act based on humanitarian principles. The Buddha once said, 'When the ruler of a country is just and good, the ministers become just and good; when the ministers are just and good, the higher officials become just and good; when the higher officials are just and good, the rank and file become just and good; when the rank and file become just and good, the people become just and good. '(Anguttara Nikaya) In the Cakkavatti Sihananda Sutta, the Buddha said that immorality and crime, such as theft, falsehood, violence, hatred, cruelty, could arise from poverty.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Josh Smith maddens fans. He fattens boxscores. And at his very best, even when he sails a pass into the second row or toe-dribbles out of bounds, the man dubbed "J-Smoove" is the Detroit Pistons' most complete 94-by-50-foot player. Smith, Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe took advantage of a depleted Sacramento Kings interior Saturday for a 95-90 win, the Pistons' second in a row on the heels of a 13-game losing streak, and their first consecutive road wins against the NBA Western Conference since November 2010. Smith and Drummond had double-doubles, and Monroe was the Pistons' leading scorer, as the big-three line didn't start together but combined for 57 points and 29 rebounds against the DeMarcus Cousins-less Kings. Smith had his best game of the year, 21 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, five blocked shots and two steals. He was 9 of 16 from the floor and didn't shoot a 3-pointer. And yes, he had seven turnovers. Josh Smith, ladies and gentlemen, Josh Smith. "I thought he played hard and well," Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said. "At times, he tries to do too much. He tries to make too many plays, too many difficult plays, and he turns the ball over. "Put it this way, he does what Josh Smith, at his best, does -- he fills up the stat sheet. He does a lot of different things. There's just one column we wouldn't like him to fill up." Smith got off to a quick start for the second consecutive game with his playmaking, starting with an early lob to Drummond for a dunk. Smith leaped high in the air three times as he retreated back on defense after that play, which set a tone for Detroit paint dominance. The only interior element the Pistons didn't control was rebounding -- the Kings had a 55-43 edge, with 22 offensive. But the Kings also missed 60 field-goal attempts, including nine blocked, and shot 35.5 percent, all season-bests for the Pistons' defense. The Pistons (5-19) embarked on this three-game, four-day western trip with Van Gundy acknowleding they were in a tough scheduling stretch, even after they return home to face sizzling Dallas next week. It was a moment of acknowledgment that everyone does advance schedule analysis, and despite all their next-game-only mantras, coaches aren't immune.

"I try to cover social issues pertaining to environment, female foeticide and others in the editorial section, and also information about public welfare schemes and important government policies for the betterment of the poor or children," Utkarsh added.Jagriti also has success stories of scientists, political leaders and other prominent personalities.But how does he get time from his studies to bring out a weekly newspaper. "I believe if anyone is passionate about something, he or she can take out some time to pursue his passion, irrespective of the hectic schedule," Utkarsh replied. "I spend some time daily on researching topics and gathering public utility information from sources like magazines, news dailies and the internet. On Sunday I get more time to work on my project and make pictorial representations that could go along with the articles," he said.Utkarsh's efforts are much appreciated by people in Allahabad. "He has shown all of us that an ordinary person can contribute to the society in one way or other...You just need to have an urge for that," Kashi Kesarwani, a resident of Chandpur area, told IANS. Nutan Devi, a local journalist and the boy's neighbour, said; "For me it's real journalism... It has revived the decades-old objective of journalism that seems to have now have got lost somewhere...
Principal coordinate analysis showed 26% and 13% variations on axes 1 and 2, respectively, indicating a major shift between the two groups (p = 0.01, Fig. 2). The RS4 diet differentially modified 71 microbial OTUs (q < 0.05), including enrichment of four each of Ruminococcus and Blautia, two each of Bacteroides and Oscillospira, and one Parabacteroides OTUs (Supplementary Table S2). Of the 71 OTUs, 65 belonged to the phylum Firmicutes. The three Bacteroidetes OTUs all increased in abundance with RS4 relative to the CF treatment, while OTUs belonging to Firmicutes had a mixed response (Supplementary Table S2). At the species level, some species were significantly enriched in the RS4 group, including three Bacteroides species (>121.2 fold, q < 0.05) along with Blautia glucerasea (2497.1 fold, q < 0.001), Christensenella minuta (2.4 × 106 fold, q < 0.001), Eubacterium oxidoreducens (7723.2 fold, q < 0.01), Oscillospira spp. (2528.4 fold, q < 0.01), Ruminococcus lactaris (1.2 × 105 fold, q < 0.001), and Parabacteroides distasonis (8642.2 fold, q < 0.001), while some were significantly decreased in abundance in this group, including pathogenic Enterococcus casseliflavus (−13603.2 fold, q < 0.001) and Streptococcus cristatus (−229.7 fold, q < 0.05) (Fig. 3a). Although the enrichment fold changes for some of the bacterial species appear very high, their relative abundance in the whole microbial community could be low. This is due to the commonly used sampling normalization approach based on per million sequences to remove any bias due to varying sequencing depth (details in Methods). Overall, trends showed that Bacteroidetes OTUs were increased in the RS4 group, leading to an overall lowering of the average Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes (F:B) ratio in the RS4 group from 14.6 at baseline to 12.9, but increasing to 19.2 post CF diet (Fig. 3b). The lower F:B ratio is frequently perceived as an indicator of a leaner phenotype, although the previously reported results are not always consistent24. Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes are two major phyla and the species composition within each may vary widely in a given subject. It is possible that both phyla include species that may be characteristic of a particular phenotype. Therefore, a species level composition may represent a body weight phenotype more precisely than a broad estimation of F:B ratio.
Israel has “obstructed the Palestinian right to self-determination” by building over the pre-1967 lines in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, said Lynk.He wrote the statement in a 26-page report on Israeli actions against Palestinians which he submitted last week to the UN. On Thursday he presented the report to a New York meeting of the UN General Assembly’s Third Committee and on Friday he will hold a press conference in New York. It’s Lynk’s first report since taking office earlier this year.Lynk, a Canadian international law expert, called on Israel in his report to withdraw from Area C of the West Bank, where it has full civil and military control and to hand that area over to the Palestinians. All Israeli settlements are in Area C of the West Bank.“Allow the Palestinian Authority to assume security control in Area B and civil and security control in Area C so as to end the geographic fragmentation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory,” he said.In issuing that call, he added his voice to those in the international community who have insisted that Israel must withdraw fully from Area C. Israel believes the final borders of a two-state solution, including Area C, must be set in a negotiating process with the Palestinians.Lynk, however, said that Israel acted as a “colonial” power in Area C and east Jerusalem.Israel, he said, has entrenched “a colonial like regime in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, with two separate and unequal systems as regards laws, roads, justice regime, access to water, social services, freedom of mobility, political and civil rights, security and living standards.”“Israel’s discriminatory planning regime, particularly in East Jerusalem and Area C, minimizes or excludes Palestinian participation,” Lynk said.Israel should “end the practice of forcible transfer and the destruction of homes and property, including those of Palestinian Bedouin communities.” Lynk wrote.Demolition of Palestinian homes and the lack of permits to build, create a “coercive environment” that “exacerbates the risk of individual and mass forced transfer,” Link said adding that forced transfer is a war crime.The Palestinian have a right to growth in all areas of the West Bank, Lynk said, adding that such rights were granted them under international law through the Declaration of the Right to Development.Separately, in the report he charged that Israeli security forces used disproportionate force in responding to Palestinian attacks against Israelis.
There is a ridiculous amount of vision changes for patch 3.14. Many people do not understand why Riot went to such lengths to mess up the current system of wards. Outside of having a new game experience for S4, there were lots of problems with the vision system that became apparent in competitive play near the end of the season. Foreign teams began buying an unprecedented amount of pink wards. While most spectators see this as simple map control, what they don’t realize is that the wards provide the team with fail insurance. If a team is significantly ahead and continues to keep map control, they are pretty much guaranteed to win the game outside of chain throwing team fights and big objectives. By controlling the area of a map methodically through pushing lanes and rotating, a team can control a large area of the map. This will force the enemy to group and overextend to regain map control, as losing map control for a prolonged period of time will lead to a free Baron or getting dove under tower. This puts all of the advantage in the winning team’s hands as they can easily setup a pick in the jungle, force a big play if the losing team is split, or initiate a forced 5v5 near baron. Not only does the losing team have to approach areas with no vision, they have to win potential team fights while being behind in gold/levels and being initiated upon. Even if the losing team wins the engage, if it isn’t by a landslide they will not be able to push their advantages at all. Since the winning team has already secured map control, the enemy team now has to either secure a large objective (not possible most of the times as engages don’t normally happen without sacrifices) or reclaim some map control. By the time the losing team secures a little bit of map control in their own jungle, the winning team has already respawned and will push again. This snowball factor is a big deal as both spectators and competitors do not like it when a team can secure a free win by the five minute mark.
