the Trans-Mississippi Exposition in Omaha, in 1898. Makeever's poem "I'm Going Home" was included in a 1902 collection of Indiana writers' works. "She took up the unsung themes of the West," commented one profile in 1902. "In the broad prairies," noted another, "her poetic nature blossomed and flowered, and the notes of her songs mingled with the music of the meadowlark." Makeever was an active member of the Western Association of Writers. Makeever also wrote song lyrics, including "The Dream Face" (1909, music by Blanche M. Tice). During World War I, she worked as a reporter for Omaha newspapers. During World War II, she was a newspaper columnist in Colorado, and worked at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. Personal life Idael Makeever married lawyer and mining executive Milton Alexander Makeever in 1889; with him, she moved to Stromsburg, Nebraska, where their two daughters, Merle and Iva Lee, were born in 1889 and 1894.

what is the function of aster in cell division.? | The asters synthesize and extend polymeric spindle fibers in a dividing cell. These spindle fibers are like long chains that extend through the cytoplasm, and polymerize until they extend far enough to attach to the centromeres of diad chromosomes. Once attached, centromeres replicate and the fibers then recede back to the asters, splitting the diads apart and each monad chromosome then travels to opposite ends of the cell to provide a full chromosomal package to the newly formed daughter cell after division is complete. |

condemned pusher planes in favor of tractors. He served with General John Pershing on the Mexican Border where he set records for endurance flying. During World War I he was first assigned as the aviation officer of the American Expeditionary Force in 1917. He was later replaced by Colonel Billy Mitchell and was reassigned to the Bolling Mission. He was the first US pilot to receive the Distinguished Service Medal during World War I. Dodd was promoted to colonel on 14 August 1918 and at the end of the war he was appointed the Chief of Staff, Material under Mitchell. Dodd was then posted to Fort Sam Houston at San Antonio. With the completion of the war he reverted to his pre-war rank of captain and became the commander of Langley Field, Hampton, Virginia. After returning home from the war he competed in endurance flight competitions and during one such contest he crashed and died. Nine years after his death Dodd Army Airfield was named in his honor. Biography Dodd was born on 6 March 1886 to Zachary Taylor Dodd and Ruth Anna Dodd (née McLean) in Illinois. Dodd attended the University of Illinois, from where he graduated in 1907 with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree. Ruth Dodd was one of the Charter Members of the Order of the Eastern Star of Illinois. He was married to St Clair Dodd with whom he had no children. Military career Pre-World War I On 25 September 1909, Dodd was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Coast Artillery Corps. He was transferred to the Aviation Section, Signal Corps in 1912. While there he became a fully qualified military aviator. In the War Department General Order #39, dated 27 May 1913, Dodd was listed as one of the "original military aviators". On 14 February 1914, he established a non-stop duration of flight record, accompanied by co-pilot, Sgt. Herbert Marcus, an aircraft mechanic and also a member of the US Signal Corps, by flying 244.18 miles in 4 hours, 43 minutes in aircraft SC 26 (a Burgess Model H). Promoted to the rank of first lieutenant, Dodd was ordered to join the 1st Aero Squadron at Texas City, Texas, on 9 March 1913. In June Dodd, along with his squadron, transferred to the San Diego Signal Corps Aviation School (now known as Rockwell Field). There he participated in various flight experiments and sat on boards to establish training requirements and aircraft specifications. Dodd qualified as a military aviator on 30 December 1913. The Aeronautical Department experienced a spate of fatal accidents between 1912 and 1913, most involving the Wright Model C airplane. A board of aviators, including Dodd, was convened to investigate safety concerns and make recommendations. Dodd, along with Captain Benjamin Foulois and Lieutenants Walter R. Taliaferro, Carleton G. Chapman, and Joseph E. Carberry, condemned not just the Wright C but all "pusher" aircraft as unsafe on 16 February 1914, and those remaining in the Army inventory were ordered to be immediately grounded. The following month, the board drew up specifications for a tractor-configured training airplane. Dodd was involved in the aftermath of a major incident in 1914, which became known as the Goodier Court Martial. The commanding officer of the 1st Aero Squadron's 2nd Company at San Diego, Capt. Lewis E. Goodier, was seriously injured in a demonstration accident on 5 November 1914. Goodier was flying with Glenn L. Martin in a new aircraft when they stalled during a required competitive slow speed test and, when Martin over corrected with too much throttle, went into what was described as the first tailspin. Goodier suffered a nearly severed nose, two broken legs, a re-opened skull fracture, and a severe puncture of his knee from the drive shaft. After a cursory review of the crashes, school commandant Capt. Arthur S. Cowan, dismissed the pilots as "nothing but amateurs". While recuperating, Goodier assisted Dodd and 1st Lt. Walter Taliaferro in an attempt to prefer charges against Cowan for fraudulently collecting flight pay when he was neither certified to fly nor on flying duty. These charges were dismissed as being laid out of malice. Dodd went with the 1st Aero to Galveston during the Vera Cruz incident in 1914, then to Fort Sill. Following a promotion to captain, Dodd and his observer, Lieutenant S. W. Fitzgerald, won the third annual contest for the Mackay aviation trophy when he descended at North Island after a trip of three hours and three minutes. The contest for the Mackay Trophy involved serial reconnaissance of troops maneuvering in the vicinity of San Diego and reports of their numbers and disposition. Accidents eliminated all machines but theirs and the trophy would not have been awarded that year if Fitzgerald had not provided a comprehensive and accurate report of the composition and location of the troops. On 12 March 1916, Dodd was appointed as a pilot to the 1st Aero Squadron, under General John Pershing's 8th Brigade, | with whom he had no children.

implicitly related to Community-Based Economics, as local trade in local goods with no reliance on alien organisms presents no ecological risk to its genomes, soil, or drainage basins. Accordingly, some advocates argue, local trade in any native species within an ecoregion's borders should not be taxed at all, as it presents little or no ecological risk compared to imported goods, and so requires little or no regulation, labelling, inspection, or other expenses. The assumption that imports carry moral hazards, and that tax, trade, tariff measures should compensate for harms done, is shared by advocates of fair trade whose programs address, in addition, more overt social justice concerns of human beings, such as the maintenance of the "human capital" of a region. Both initiatives are alternatives to free trade, which has no such controls, and generally permits and encourages free transit in goods (but not, in general, labour) across ecological and social borders. A broader understanding of biosecurity that is emerging under threat of biological warfare, and the fear that such economically devastating events as the mad cow disease epidemic could recur, either deliberately (as an act of bioterrorism) or by accident due to unrestricted imports, is causing some nations, notably New Zealand, to adopt relatively harsh restrictions against imported organisms. As one objective of asymmetric warfare is to cause attacks to appear initially as accidents, or blame slow responses on apparently incompetent governments, there is some concern that spreading a virulent organism among animals would be an effective way to attack humans, damage economies, and discredit governments who are lax on biosecurity.

Such critics usually argue instead that emergency services' biodefense measures are sufficient to handle outbreaks of any diseases or alien organisms, and that such outbreaks are unlikely to be long sustained or deliberately masked as agricultural accidents.

the features extracted are carefully chosen it is expected that the features set will extract the relevant information from the input data in order to perform the desired task using this reduced representation instead of the full size input. Feature extraction is performed on raw data prior to applying k-NN algorithm on the transformed data in feature space. An example of a typical computer vision computation pipeline for face recognition using k-NN including feature extraction and dimension reduction pre-processing steps (usually implemented with OpenCV): Haar face detection Mean-shift tracking analysis PCA or Fisher LDA projection into feature space, followed by k-NN classification Dimension reduction For high-dimensional data (e.g., with number of dimensions more than 10) dimension reduction is usually performed prior to applying the k-NN algorithm in order to avoid the effects of the curse of dimensionality. The curse of dimensionality in the k-NN context basically means that Euclidean distance is unhelpful in high dimensions because all vectors are almost equidistant to the search query vector (imagine multiple points lying more or less on a circle with the query point at the center; the distance from the query to all data points in the search space is almost the same). Feature extraction and dimension reduction can be combined in one step using principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), or canonical correlation analysis (CCA) techniques as a pre-processing step, followed by clustering by k-NN on feature vectors in reduced-dimension space. This process is also called low-dimensional embedding. For very-high-dimensional datasets (e.g. when performing a similarity search on live video streams, DNA data or high-dimensional time series) running a fast approximate k-NN search using locality sensitive hashing, "random projections", "sketches" or other high-dimensional similarity search techniques from the VLDB toolbox might be the only feasible option. Decision boundary Nearest neighbor rules in effect implicitly compute the decision boundary. It is also possible to compute the decision boundary explicitly, and to do so efficiently, so that the computational complexity is a function of the boundary complexity. Data reduction Data reduction is one of the most important problems for work with huge data sets. Usually, only some of the data points are needed for accurate classification. Those data are called the prototypes and can be found as follows: Select the class-outliers, that is, training data that are classified incorrectly by k-NN (for a given k) Separate the rest of the data into two sets: (i) the prototypes that are used for the classification decisions and (ii) the absorbed points that can be correctly classified by k-NN using prototypes. The absorbed points can then be removed from the training set. Selection of class-outliers A training example surrounded by examples of other classes is called a class outlier. Causes of class outliers include: random error insufficient training examples of this class (an isolated example appears instead of a cluster) missing important features (the classes are separated in other dimensions which we don't know) too many training examples of other classes (unbalanced classes) that create a "hostile" background for the given small class Class outliers with k-NN produce noise. They can be detected and separated for future analysis. Given two natural numbers, k>r>0, a training example is called a (k,r)NN class-outlier if its k nearest neighbors include more than r examples of other classes. Condensed Nearest Neighbor for data reduction Condensed nearest neighbor (CNN, the Hart algorithm) is an algorithm designed to reduce the data set for k-NN classification. It selects the set of prototypes U from the training data, such that 1NN with U can classify the examples almost as accurately as 1NN does with the whole data set. Given a training set X, CNN works iteratively: Scan all elements of X, looking for an element x whose nearest prototype from U has a different label than x. Remove x from X and add it to U Repeat the scan until no more prototypes are added to U. Use U instead of X for classification. The examples that are not prototypes are called "absorbed" points. It is efficient to scan the training examples in order of decreasing border ratio. The border ratio of a training example x is defined as where is the distance to the closest example y having a different color than x, and is the distance from y to its closest example x' with the same label as x. The border ratio is in the interval [0,1] because never exceeds . This ordering gives preference to the borders of the classes for inclusion in the set of prototypes U. A point of a different label than x is called external to x. The calculation of the border ratio is illustrated by the figure on the right. The data points are labeled by colors: the initial point is x and its label is red. External points are blue and green. The closest to x external point is y. The closest to y red point is x' . The border ratio is the attribute of the initial point x. Below is an illustration of CNN in a series of figures. There are three classes (red, green and blue). Fig. 1: initially there are 60 points in each class. Fig. 2 shows the 1NN classification map: each pixel is classified by 1NN using all the data. Fig. 3 shows the 5NN classification map. White areas correspond to the unclassified regions, where 5NN voting is tied (for example, if there | is called the nearest neighbor algorithm. The accuracy of the k-NN algorithm can be severely degraded by the presence of noisy or irrelevant features, or if the feature scales are not consistent with their importance. Much research effort has been put into selecting or scaling features to improve classification. A particularly popular approach is the use of evolutionary algorithms to optimize feature scaling. Another popular approach is to scale features by the mutual information of the training data with the training classes. In binary (two class) classification problems, it is helpful to choose k to be an odd number as this avoids tied votes. One popular way of choosing the empirically optimal k in this setting is via bootstrap method. The -nearest neighbor classifier The most intuitive nearest neighbour type classifier is the one nearest neighbour classifier that assigns a point to the class of its closest neighbour in the feature space, that is . As the size of training data set approaches infinity, the one nearest neighbour classifier guarantees an error rate of no worse than twice the Bayes error rate (the minimum achievable error rate given the distribution of the data). The weighted nearest neighbour classifier The -nearest neighbour classifier can be viewed as assigning the nearest neighbours a weight and all others weight. This can be generalised to weighted nearest neighbour classifiers. That is, where the th nearest neighbour is assigned a weight , with . An analogous result on the strong consistency of weighted nearest neighbour classifiers also holds. Let denote the weighted nearest classifier with weights . Subject to regularity conditions on the class distributions the excess risk has the following asymptotic expansion for constants and where and . The optimal weighting scheme , that balances the two terms in the display above, is given as follows: set , for and for . With optimal weights the dominant term in the asymptotic expansion of the excess risk is . Similar results are true when using a bagged nearest neighbour classifier. Properties k-NN is a special case of a variable-bandwidth, kernel density "balloon" estimator with a uniform kernel. The naive version of the algorithm is easy to implement by computing the distances from the test example to all stored examples, but it is computationally intensive for large training sets. Using an approximate nearest neighbor search algorithm makes k-NN computationally tractable even for large data sets. Many nearest neighbor search algorithms have been proposed over the years; these generally seek to reduce the number of distance evaluations actually performed. k-NN has some strong consistency results. As the amount of data approaches infinity, the two-class k-NN algorithm is guaranteed to yield an error rate no worse than twice the Bayes error rate (the minimum achievable error rate given the distribution of the data). Various improvements to the k-NN speed are possible by using proximity graphs. For multi-class k-NN classification, Cover and Hart (1967) prove an upper bound error rate of where is the Bayes error rate (which is the minimal error rate possible), is the k-NN error rate, and is the number of classes in the problem. For and as the Bayesian error rate approaches zero, this limit reduces to "not more than twice the Bayesian error rate". Error rates There are many results on the error rate of the nearest neighbour classifiers. The -nearest neighbour classifier is strongly (that is for any joint distribution on ) consistent provided diverges and converges to zero as . Let denote the nearest neighbour classifier based on a training set of size . Under certain regularity conditions, the excess risk yields the following asymptotic expansion for some constants and . The choice offers a trade off between the two terms in the above display, for which the -nearest neighbour error converges to the Bayes error at the optimal (minimax) rate . Metric learning The K-nearest neighbor classification performance can often be significantly improved through (supervised) metric learning. Popular algorithms are neighbourhood components analysis and large margin nearest neighbor. Supervised metric learning algorithms use the label information to learn a new metric or pseudo-metric. Feature extraction When the input data to an algorithm is too large to be processed and it is suspected to be redundant (e.g. the same measurement in both feet and meters) then the input data will be transformed into a reduced representation set of features (also named features vector). Transforming the input data into the set of features is called feature extraction. If the features extracted are carefully chosen it is expected that the features set will extract the relevant information from the input data in order to perform the desired task using this reduced representation instead of the full size input. Feature extraction is performed on raw data prior to applying k-NN algorithm on the transformed data in feature space.

commending the reinterpretations of the songs and vocal performances. Reporting for the United Press International, Bruce Meyer considered David Live Bowie's finest record since Ziggy Stardust (1972), but noted that the artist's presence as a live act was not fully captured in the music alone. The Cincinnati Enquirers Jim Knippenberg likewise praised Bowie as a live act, calling the LP "excellent". Retrospectively, David Live continues to receive mixed reactions. Reviewing for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave David Live a mixed review. He gave praise to certain tracks, such as "Knock on Wood" and "All the Young Dudes", but overall concluded: "David Live is primarily of interest as a historical document, yet there's enough good material to make it worthwhile for fanatics." In a more positive review, Michael Idov of Pitchfork commended Bowie's vocal performance throughout the album, finding the version of "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" to contain "arguably the all-time greatest display of Bowie's voice". Compared to Bowie's 1978 live album Stage, Idov described David Live as the "more genial album", preferring the former over the latter. Reviewing the album's 1990 reissue, Darryl Easlea of BBC Music commended the reissue, finding that it does the original album justice through the restored setlists and remastered sound quality. He gave immense praise to "Knock on Wood", "Sweet Thing", "The Jean Genie" and the previously unreleased "Space Oddity". However, he ultimately considered it and Stage "absolutely invaluable" as "complement[s] to the studio albums". Mick Jagger commented about the album at the time, saying he thought "Knock on Wood" was "awful", stating: "If I got the kind of reviews that he got for that album, I would honestly never record again. Never." Bowie later commented that "David Live was the final death of Ziggy... And that photo on the cover. My God, it looks like I've just stepped out of the grave. That's actually how I felt. That record should have been called 'David Bowie Is Alive and Well and Living Only in Theory'". Commercial performance David Live made No. 2 on the UK charts (the tour had only visited North America), No. 5 in Canada (where the tour had opened) and No. 8 in the US. "Knock on Wood" was released as a single, reaching No. 10 in the UK. A reissue of the album in 2005 finally included a complete song list from the original concerts plus a new mix by Tony Visconti, said to be an improvement over the fidelity of previous releases. Reissues This album was first released on CD in 1990 by Rykodisc/EMI, containing the bonus tracks "Time" and "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow", as well as Bowie's introduction to the audience of his band. A new version of the album was released on CD in 2005 by EMI/Virgin, containing two additional bonus tracks: "Panic in Detroit" (this version had previously been released as the B-side to the UK single release | Mam! [sic]. Reception and legacy David Live received primarily negative reviews from music critics on release. Writing for the New Musical Express, Charles Shaar Murray considered David Live to be an example of "outright artifice and self-parody", overall finding it uneven in quality. He nevertheless praised the rendition of "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" as the finest performance of the song to date. Chris Charlesworth of Melody Maker was critical of Bowie's voice, calling it "hoarse, throaty and often off-key". In Creem, Lester Bangs wrote that without the proper visuals to accompany the music, the live album is a "dismal flatulence". Reviewing for the same magazine in January 1975, Robert A. Hull was more positive, finding it to be better than Diamond Dogs; he considered its major flaw to be the inclusion of too many tracks from that album, wishing he had included more tracks from The Man Who Sold the World and Pin Ups (1973). In The Village Voice, veteran critic Robert Christgau was very negative towards the album, stating "The artiste [is] at his laryngeal nadir, [the album is] mired in bullshit pessimism and arena-rock pandering — and the soul frills just make it worse." Nevertheless, the album did attract several positive reviews. Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times considered David Live an "essential" release, commending the reinterpretations of the songs and vocal performances.

station had a passing loop off its southern end, the only one on the line. It had the customary goods facilities for wayside stations, plus a siding into Wharram Quarry, dominated by a large chalk silo. The line was originally conceived as part of a trunk route between Kingston-upon-Hull and the North East of England, but this came to very little. The station remained throughout its life as a country station on a country byway. In some periods of its life four passenger trains a day ran in each direction between and , calling at all stations between, but for the most part just three called, with no Sunday service after the outbreak of the First World War. These trains were nicknamed the "Malton Dodger". They usually had either one or two coaches, often strengthened by one or more horse boxes in this racing country. Before the Second World War, intermittent excursion traffic called at Wharram to view the station's floral displays and well as the area's scenery. In the summer of 1950, the station witnessed the passing of a Summer Saturday Filey to Newcastle train and return, which travelled via , Wharram and , joining the East Coast Main Line at Pilmoor Junction. The station and line closed to passenger traffic in June 1950. Although it was said to be reasonably loaded on Saturdays (Market Days), it carried few people except schoolchildren otherwise.

1119. Its founders were Robert de Crevequer and his son Adam. The priory was occupied by the Black Friars. In 1177, Robert de Crevequer's son, also named Robert, bequeathed a fulling mill on the River Len to the priory in his will. The mill remained in the ownership of the priory until its dissolution. As well as Brandescombe Mill, the priory also possessed Abbey Mill at its dissolution. In 1198, Pope Innocent III confirmed the priory as falling under the See of Canterbury. In 1368, the donations of the de Crevequers were confirmed by King Edward III, who also confirmed his patronage of the priory. In 1384, the priory was valued at £220. 12s. 8d. About this time, during the reign of King Richard II, canon Thomas Hazlewood came to Leeds Priory. He wrote several history books here, including A Compendious Chronicle. In 1452, King Richard III confirmed the liberties of the priory. By 1487, the priory was deeply in debt. James Goldwell, Bishop of Norwich, made generous donations to the priory, and gave sufficient support for an additional priest. Leeds Priory was dissolved in 1539, then being valued at £362. 7s. 7d. The last prior, Thomas Day, received a pension of £80 per annum from the King. After the priory had been dissolved, the King leased it to Anthony St Leger for 21 years, at a rent of £22. 17s. 2d. per annum. The lease included both mills and of land, and all houses etc. associated with the priory. The priory itself was demolished and the materials carried away. In 1551, King Edward VI granted the site of the priory and land and woods in Broomfield, Langley, Leeds and Sutton Valence amounting to to St Leger to be held in capite. The remainder of the estate had been assigned in 1542 by King Henry VIII to the Dean and Chapter of Rochester. In 1559, Warham St Leger inherited the priory from his | and Chapter of Rochester. In 1559, Warham St Leger inherited the priory from his father. In 1573, St Leger transferred the estate to Sir William Meredith, of Stansty, Denbighshire. A pigeon house was erected in the grounds of the priory. In 1581, Meredith's son, also named William, purchased certain lands in Warham St Leger that had previously formed part of the estate. The estate passed through Sir Richard Meredith to Sir Roger Meredith in 1723. Sir Roger died in 1738 and left the estate to his niece Susanna Meredith. On her death in 1758, the estate passed to Sir George Oxenden. In 1765, Oxenden sold the estate to John Calcraft, of Ingress, Kent, who considerably extended the house and landscaped the grounds. Calcraft died in 1772, and the estate passed to his son, John. The mansion was demolished at the end of the 18th century. The dovecote of the mansion remains, and is on the Historic England Heritage at Risk Register. Burials Eleanor de Ferrers, wife of Roger de Leybourne Excavations The site of the priory was partially excavated in 1846. In 1973, an excavation of the site took place over eleven weeks in total, covering all four seasons.

Decision was reached during 'aggravation' phase of Arizona trial - where jurors agreed Travis Alexander's murder was 'especially cruel and heinous' | By . Meghan Keneally and Louise Boyle . PUBLISHED: . 13:39 EST, 15 May 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 18:38 EST, 15 May 2013 . The jury found Jodi Arias eligible for the death penalty today following her murder conviction for killing her lover. Jurors reached their decision on Wednesday just hours after the prosecutor went through stab wound by stab wound that she inflicted on Travis Alexander during the prolonged killing. Last week she was found guilty of the premeditated, first-degree murder of Alexander after stabbing him more than 27 times, slicing his throat and shooting him in the bathroom of his Mesa, Arizona home in June 2008. Scroll down for video . Stoic: Jodi Arias looked at each juror as they individually said in court that they believed she was eligible for the death penalty on the grounds of Alexander's death being especially cruel . Facing the consequences: Jodi Arias appeared in court again on Wednesday as the jury has to decide whether she should spend more than 25 years behind bars or be sentenced to death . Awful: Travis Alexander's sisters Samantha (left) and Tanisha (right) got very emotional as the graphic crime was relived through words and photos . The decision came after a day of testimony in the 'aggravation' phase of the trial, during which prosecutor Juan Martinez hoped to prove the 2008 killing was committed in an especially cruel and heinous manner. Alexander's two sisters sobbed as the medical examiner explained how each of the stab wounds caused tangible pain. The trial moves into the final phase on Thursday, in which prosecutors will call Alexander's family and other witnesses in an effort to convince the panel Arias should face the ultimate punishment. Arias' attorneys also will call witnesses, likely members of her family, in an attempt to gain sympathy from jurors so they give her life in prison. Today's aggravation proceedings were intended to start on Thursday but Arias was put in a psychiatric hold and under suicide watch after telling a local news station that she would rather receive the death penalty as opposed to life in prison because she expects that she will live a long time. Final shot: Prosecutor Juan Martinez went through each of the more than 27 stab wounds that Alexander suffered . Tough job: Defense attorney Kirk Nurmi spoke briefly about the need for the jury to focus solely on whether the murder was an 'especially heinous' one . The jury had to decide whether the . convicted murderer will spend the rest of her days behind bars, or if . she could be sentenced to death. That . is determined by the nature of the crime, meaning that they have to . decide if it was an especially cruel, heinous and depraved killing and . if so, then they may sentence her to death. Prosecutor Juan Martinez took the floor first on Wednesday, describing how the angles at which she stabbed Alexander as he lay on the floor of his bathroom shows that she was standing above him. 'We know that he was alive in the sense he could see, breath and hear what was coming,' Martinez said. 'Mr Alexander suffered pain every time that blade entered his body. 'She made sure of it, by stabbing him over and over again...then finishing him off across the throat.' Gut-wrenching: Tanisha Sorenson turns away from the screen as autopsy photos were shown of her slain brother . Waiting for justice: His friends and relatives have said previously that they hope she is sentenced to death . He talked about how at one point during the attack, Alexander tried to defend himself and she came at him from behind. While that would have come as a surprise in certain circumstances, Alexander was trying to stand up by the sink and would have seen her coming in the mirror. The courtroom was shown pictures of Alexander's bloody body, zoomed in on the wounds on his back and the back of his head. Relatives of Mr Alexander were seen openly weeping, covering their faces and looking down when the graphic photos were shown. Even Arias started crying, covering her face and swiveling her chair to turn away from the screen. Her fate: Since she was found guilty last Wednesday, Arias said that she would rather be sentenced to death instead of receiving life in prison, and as a result she was on suicide watch for the past week . Graphic: Medical examiner Kevon Horn told how parts of Alexander's skull were chipped off by the knife as Arias stabbed him in the back of the head during the attack . Physical battle: Arias' other ex said that she was in good physical shape, explaining that she would have been able to fight Alexander even though he was bigger than she was . Defense attorney Kirk Nurmi spoke briefly about the need for the jury to focus solely on whether the murder was an 'especially heinous' one. Martinez called his first witness, Medical examiner Kevin Horn, who went through the various wounds. He said that an examination of Alexander's head showed 'triangular pieces of the skull that have been gouged out by the knife.' He went on to say that it was his belief that Alexander was still alive when he was being stabbed in the back of the head, stabbed in his back, and when his throat was slit. One of the most jarring portions of Wednesday's testimony came when nothing was said at all: in an effort to prove that the attack- that is thought to have taken just over two minutes- was not as short as it sounds, Martinez told the court to sit silently for that time and think about how it would feel if you were being attacked continuously. Alexander's siblings were seen crying, their shoulders shaking, throughout. Reliving it: Pictures of the stab wounds on Travis' back were shown to the court which was too much for his relatives to take. Arias even turned away at different points . Arias' state-appointed defense attorney Nurmi said that jurors need to remove the emotion from their decision, specifically mentioning the two-minutes of silence. 'Your duty as jurors is to detach yourself from that emotion, from that passion,' he said in his closing arguments. Since the jury already knows that Arias murdered Alexander, the biggest legal hurdle for Martinez is to convince them that either the victim suffered pain, and that the attacker knew that she was inflicting pain. As part of that, Martinez repeatedly referred to the story that Arias said during her lengthy testimony during the original trial when she said that after being arrested she planned on killing herself but decided against it when she pricked her finger with a razor and stopped because 'it stung'. 'Travis Alexander didn't have that choice,' Martinez said. 'Every time that blade cut into him it hurt him. This was not a sting.' |

Does having multiple injuries affect how your body heals itself? | Your body requires synthesis of material for activities like exudation (anti bacterial response), epithelial regeneration (skin healing from bites), collagen fibers (bone healing from bruise), etc. Each of these pieces require material synthesis. The body is like a factory that can make it's own materials. However, there is always a maximum throughput value. The speed at which any two bodies can create requires materials will not be the same. However, seemingly different materials may require similar inputs. If two injuries require the same material for healing at a rate greater than the body can produce then your healing will be delayed. I'm not aware of many studies that target the bodies ability to parallel process, but it's a very good question that I would like to read more about. |

Which former U.S. president have been born in New Haven? | New Haven is the birthplace of former president George W. Bush, who was born when his father, former president George H. W. Bush, was living in New Haven while a student at Yale. In addition to being the site of the college educations of both Presidents Bush, as Yale students, New Haven was also the temporary home of former presidents William Howard Taft, Gerald Ford, and Bill Clinton, as well as Secretary of State John Kerry. President Clinton met his wife, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, while the two were students at Yale Law School. Former vice presidents John C.

it around. Filming of the stunts began on January 25, 2010, Tremaine filmed the crew on private property unlike the traditional Jackass fashion of filming in the streets (although in the film, several skits/pranks were shot in public), and it includes "occasional forays to foreign countries." Bam Margera told the Artisan News Service that the movie was 70% done and half the crew had been to the hospital with Margera having "three broken ribs and a broken shoulder and a twisted ankle as we speak." During filming, recurring guest cast member Loomis Fall suffered a compound fracture of his clavicle after an improper landing during a stunt involving an umbrella and a jet engine. On the subject of the stunts, director Jeff Tremaine said he was aiming to revamp most of the old stunts from the original show into the movie (example: the "Poo Cocktail Supreme" is based on a stunt originally done by Knoxville on the television show). The stunt, "The Lamborghini Tooth Pull" was originally shot for Jackass Number Two with Margera's uncle, Vincent Margera (also known as Don Vito) but after Margera's arrest back in 2006, the stunt was pulled from the final cut of the movie and was not shown in Jackass 2.5, so it was re-shot with Ehren McGhehey for this film, and the elder Margera was declared persona non grata among the cast and crew for a time. In April 2010, JackassWorld.com was closed, leaving a posting that said "gone filmin'," and "Thanks for the support the past two years. To keep abreast and adick of all things related to the world of jackass and Dickhouse (including the currently in production flick jackass 3D), follow us on Facebook and Twitter." In an interview with Rick Kosick, he revealed that JackassWorld.com will no longer be a web site after the movie releases. Despite this, it was relaunched as the main website for Dickhouse Productions. Cameraman Lance Bangs explains the transition from television to cinema screen: "It's utterly crazy. Everything in 3-D looks as brightly colored as candy. I'm a cameraman on it, and it's amazing to watch the footage being turned 3-D, like watching everything through a viewfinder." He later went on to say, "I thought I was above peer pressure, but there's such camaraderie. I took part in a few stunts and ended up humiliated and hurt — me, the poetic film-maker friend of Spike Jonze." In late May 2010, Knoxville stated that Steve-O's sobriety was at its best and, "[t]here is no beer on set this time around even if some of us wish there was." He also said, "And to be honest it's going great. Everyone has had different injuries throughout which is a good sign and Steve-O is probably getting the best footage out of everybody. He is really going for it. He wants to prove to everyone he can do these stunts sober. It's been two years since he had a drink now. Everyone has been real supportive of him." At the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, Tremaine said filming was nearly finished but they had not shot internationally yet but intended to shoot "a couple of bits". An injury to cast member Bam Margera forced a rewrite for the beginning of the movie. On June 12, 2010, Margera was beaten on the head with a bat by a 59-year-old African-American woman outside of his bar, The Note. The woman alleged Bam called her a "nigger" and that she was offended, but did not hit him. When Margera was approached by TMZ two days after the incident, he told them he "never used the n-word" and that "[the lady] attacked me times before". He explained: I was internally bleeding in the brain for two days and they wouldn't let me leave the hospital. I was like, 'I need to go to Los Angeles in six hours to go finish Jackass.' We start tomorrow and I'm supposed to get hit in the head and now I can't because of her. Margera added in the same interview that the opening sequence is being shot with Phantom high speed cameras, which record at 1,000 frames per second to produce hyper-slow motion, similar to the opening sequence of Zombieland. Appropriately, make-up effects designer Tony Gardner, creator of the zombie hordes for Zombieland, was a designer for all of the Jackass films. Release Box office Jackass 3D earned $117.2 million in North America, and $53.1 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $170.3 million. It is the highest-grossing film of the series worldwide and separately in North America and overseas. In the United States, the film had a record opening day for a fall release movie ($22 million), and posted a record October midnight opening ($2.5 million). It then held the record for the highest opening weekend gross in the month of October as well as the Fall season ($50.4 million) for one year until Paranormal Activity 3 claimed it in 2011 with a weekend gross of $52.6 million. Based on early outperforming predictions it would earn $30 million. It marked the highest-grossing opening weekend of the franchise, ahead of Jackass: The Movie ($22.8 million) and Jackass Number Two ($29 million). 3D accounted for a whopping 90% of its opening weekend gross; however, it still improved on the attendance of its predecessors. It then earned $65.6 million in its first week, which marked the largest Fall opening week of all time. It closed in theaters on January 20, 2011, with $117.2 million. The film made more overseas than both its predecessors combined. Its highest-grossing country, outside North America, was Australia ($9.9 million). Critical response Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 65% based on 110 reviews, and an average rating of 5.9/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "The Jackass gang might be running out of gross-out stunts, but this installment contains plenty of brilliantly brain-dead comedy – and the 3-D adds a pungent new dimension." Metacritic gives the film | I can't because of her.

Metacritic gives the film a weighted average score of 56 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale. Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B grade. He notes that the audience wants to see Knoxville and the boys top themselves, and ultimately they achieve that. Gleiberman described the 3D as "the usual big nothing" and fails entirely to make the film any more disgusting. Washington Post critic Dan Kois described the film as "a touching ode to male friendship at its most primal" and describes the atmosphere as one of "infectious bonhomie". He sarcastically asks viewers if they are "highbrow" enough for Jackass 3D. He notes the apprehension of the performers before the stunts is nearly as exciting as the stunts themselves. Kois shows his appreciation not just for the stunts but also the way in which they are repeated in slow motion. He gives the film 3/4 stars. Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune criticizes the film describing it as "reductive, insanely violent slapstick" but he accepts that is the idea. Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel complains that the performers "aren't getting better, they're getting older" and the stunts that were cute ten years ago now seem forced and a little desperate. Home media The DVD and Blu-ray versions of Jackass 3D were released on March 8, 2011, in three different versions. The first version is a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack with a digital copy; the second is a limited-edition two-disc DVD pack, and the third copy is a single-disc DVD.
