Women Don't Owe You Pretty
Sale price Price £7.99 Regular price Unit price per
Florence Given's debut book will explore all progressive corners of the feminist conversation; from insecurity projection and refusing to find comfort in other women's flaws, to deciding whether to date or dump them, all the way through to unpacking the male gaze and how it shapes our identity. 'Women Don't Owe You Pretty' is an accessible leap into feminism, for people at all stages of their journey who are seeking to reshape and transform the way they view themselves. In a world that tells women we're either not enough or too much, it's time we stop directing our anger and insecurities onto ourselves, and start fighting back to re-shape the toxic structures of our patriarchal society.

Cryopreservation for Fertility Preservation
Using cryopreservation for future fertility
Fertility preservation is the act of preserving sperm, eggs or reproductive tissue, such as ovarian tissue, so that a person or couple can have biological children later in life. While fertility preservation was originally designed for people undergoing medical treatments that affect long-term fertility, it is now also used for social reasons. This is when individuals or couples elect to delay having children because they want to pursue careers or are just not ready to have a family yet.
Cryopreservation is a form of fertility preservation that involves freezing sperm, eggs, blastocysts, embryos or whole tissues and storing them so that they can be used later. During cryopreservation fertility lab technicians use liquid nitrogen to freeze the materials to sub-zero temperatures. At these low temperatures any biological activity, including the biochemical reactions that would lead to cell death, stops.
In order to prevent any damage to the cells during the freezing process, technicians use cryoprotective agents such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, sucrose, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and propylene glycol. Once the cells are cryopreserved, it is believed they can be stored indefinitely for future use.
Common cryopreservation procedures
The three most common cryopreservation procedures are for eggs, sperm and embryos.
Egg freezing and banking
Before an egg freezing procedure, a woman first undergoes 10 to 12 days of hormone therapy. These hormones stimulate her ovaries and allow a doctor to collect multiple eggs during the egg retrieval procedure.
During an egg retrieval, the woman is placed under anesthesia while a physician collects the eggs using a long needle inserted through the woman’s vagina. The actual procedure takes only a few minutes, and many women resume normal activity within a day.
Frozen eggs are banked, or stored, until a woman elects to have them thawed for an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. A doctor can fertilize thawed eggs in a lab using a partner’s or donor’s sperm and then transfer the resulting embryos to the woman’s or a gestational carrier’s uterus.
Embryo freezing and banking
Embryo freezing involves the same steps as egg freezing. However, in embryo cryopreservation a woman’s eggs are fertilized in a lab, then after several days of maturation, the eggs become embryos, or fertilized eggs, and are ready to be cryopreserved for use in future IVF cycles.
Did you know that many fertility clinics charge $1,200-1,800 for the freezing and storage of embryos?
At the Servy Institute for Reproductive Endocrinology (S.I.R.E.), cryopreservation and six months of embryo storage cost $910.
Sperm freezing and banking
Sperm cryopreservation is the least costly and invasive of all cryopreservation treatments. Since men’s ejaculate contains millions of sperm, a man does not typically need to undergo any special preparations before he provides a semen sample.
However, if a man has a low sperm count or male infertility, a doctor may perform a surgical procedure to remove enough sperm for sperm banking. Once the semen is collected, it is frozen until the man chooses to use the sperm for an advanced reproductive treatment, such as IVF or intrauterine insemination (IUI).
When is cryopreservation used?
Elective egg freezing
While men’s bodies continually create new sperm, women are born with all of the eggs they will ever produce. Once women begin puberty, they begin losing their eggs as part of their menstrual cycle. Over time, women’s eggs decrease not only in quantity but also in quality.
After the age of 35 it becomes more difficult for a woman to get pregnant without reproductive assistance. Women who freeze their eggs when they are in their 20s and early 30s have a better chance of getting pregnant later in life using their own eggs in combination with assisted reproductive treatments.
While cryopreservation does not guarantee that a woman will be able to get pregnant when she is ready, it is a proactive measure that can provide a woman with more family-building options after her eggs would typically no longer be viable.
Fertility preservation for transgender men and women
Both hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery, which may involve the removal of reproductive organs, can affect a transgender man’s or woman’s ability to have biological children. If a transgender person hopes to begin a family after transitioning, he or she may choose to undergo fertility preservation.
Much like other forms of fertility preservation, transgender fertility preservation generally involves cryopreserving a person’s sperm, eggs or embryos. Cryopreserved sperm, eggs or embryos can then be used in IVF and other assisted reproductive treatments.

Fertility preservation before cancer treatments
Fertility preservation can help men and women overcome infertility that may come with disease diagnoses – mainly cancer. Individuals suffering from autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, Turner syndrome and galactosemia, may also benefit from fertility preservation efforts.
Cancer treatments, including radiation, can decrease a woman’s ovarian reserve, or the number of eggs in her ovaries. Radiation can also be harmful to a man’s sperm count and damage reproductive organs, depending on the location of the cancer.
There are several treatment options that may help preserve fertility before and after cancer treatments, including egg, sperm and reproductive tissue cryopreservation. In cases where a woman is no longer able to carry a child after cancer treatments, she has the option of using a gestational carrier or surrogate along with other fertility treatments.
IVF and other advanced fertility treatments
Egg freezing, embryo freezing and sperm freezing have become common procedures during many advanced fertility treatments, including IVF. For instance, men who cannot be present on the day of their IVF partner’s egg collection may choose to have their sperm cryopreserved until the retrieval date.
Doctors may also freeze eggs and embryos as part of the IVF process. These eggs may be from the mother or they may be donor eggs, collected in advance of an IVF cycle. The use of frozen eggs can provide more flexibility in timing IVF egg retrieval and implantation procedures.
During an IVF cycle, a doctor typically transfers one or two fresh embryos into a woman’s uterus. After the transfer of fresh embryos, individuals can elect to cryopreserve remaining embryos. People can then save these embryos for a later IVF cycle or donate their embryos to other individuals or couples undergoing fertility treatments.
Sometimes medical complications during an IVF cycle, including ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (when the ovaries become abnormally swollen from fertility medications), may cause a doctor to cancel a fresh embryo transfer. The doctor can then freeze the embryo and perform a frozen embryo transfer once the risk to the woman’s health has passed.

The dependency of red Rubisco on its cognate activase for enhancing plant photosynthesis and growth (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA)
The rate of carboxylation by Rubisco versus the rate of the competing oxygenation reaction limits photosynthesis in some conditions, so many researchers are investigating ways to enhance Rubisco. Rubisco is not limited to green plants but can be found in other lineages including red algae and photosynthetic bacteria other than cyanobacteria. The “red” Rubisco (found in red algae and some proteobacteria) are characterized by a higher affinity for the carboxylation reaction, and so provide an attractive route for photosynthetic enhancement. Here, Gunn et al. introduced into tobacco and E. coli a codon-optimized red Rubisco operon from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides and showed that the enzyme (a type IC Rubisco) is correctly assembled and functional. The addition of the bacteria’s Rubisco activase enzyme (a metabolic repair chaperon) increased Rubisco activity even more. The fact that similar results were found in E. coli and tobacco indicates that products of directed evolution can be prescreened in the simpler expression system. These findings provide new avenues or the development of Rubisco enhancement in crop plants. (Summary by Mary Williams @PlantTeaching) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 10.1073/pnas.2011641117

Garry's Mod Wiki
Library to work with the LuaJIT functionality of gmod.
jit.attach( function callback, string event )
You can attach callbacks to a number of compiler events with jit.attach. The callback can be called: when a function has been compiled to bytecode ("bc"); when trace recording starts or stops ("trace"); as a trace is being recorded ("record"); or when a trace exits through a side exit ("texit"). Set a callback with jit.attach(callback, "event") and clear the same callback with jit.attach(callback) This function isn't officially documented on LuJIT wiki,..

How Long Do LED Lights Last?
How Long Do LED Lights Last? - 7
Most people today are well aware of the advantages of LEDs over other types of bulbs, with lots of figures thrown about on their long-lasting capabilities, but how long do LED lights last when used in day-to-day life?
The first thing to know about LED lifespans is they rarely ‘blow’ or fail outright like a conventional light source. Instead, they gradually reduce in brightness until they can no longer provide a useful quantity of light. Most manufacturers use a term called ‘L70’ to describe the useful life of an LED light, and this refers to the length of time the LED lights provide 70% or more of their original brightness.
The average useful lifespan (or L70 life) for an LED is 50,000 hours, with some high quality fixtures lasting as much as 100,000 hours. Used 12 hours a day, these 100,000-hour lights will last you over 22 years. Investing in high-quality LEDs, then, will last you up to 50-100 times longer than a typical incandescent light, 40-50 times longer than a typical halogen, and 16-20 times longer than a typical compact fluorescent lamp (CFL).
Unfortunately, certain factors can get in the way of a LED light lasting for the length that it should. Below we detail what issues can crop up and how to avoid them.
How long do LED lights last without a reliable power source?
How Long Do LED Lights Last? - 8
LED lights are designed to run on low voltage direct current electricity, but a typical power socket only supplies higher voltage alternating current electricity. Using a higher voltage source than recommended will reduce your bulb’s expected lifetime, so a reliable driver is needed to optimise its output. When choosing an LED fixture, look out for options which come fitted with drivers and so can be plugged straight into the mains, such as the 60w LED flood lights from UK LED lighting manufacturers Pulsar. Alternatively, be sure to purchase a separate driver if one is not included.
How long do LED lights last if they get too hot?
The ambient (surrounding) temperature of an LED bulb can also affect its lifespan. If this temperature is too high it can be damaging to the chip and driver, so your bulb must have enough space around it for the heat it produces to be dispelled. If your light fixture is enclosed this will likely increase the bulb’s ambient temperature.
This heat sensitivity also applies to the bulb’s case temperature, which should be kept below 85°C at all times – otherwise, your light is unlikely to last as long as it should. If the case’s temperature reaches 105°C, the bulb may stop working all together. Although LED lights do have heatsinks to draw the heat away from the light source itself, these can vary in how effective they are. Larger heatsinks, or those with a well-spaced fin design, will do the best job at cooling your LED fixture.
How long do LED lights last if you choose the least expensive option?
How Long Do LED Lights Last? - 9
The popularity of LED lights means there are now a wide range of LEDs on the market, and it can definitely be tempting to go for the least expensive options. However, cheaper products can prove a false economy, often using lower-quality components and less considered design, which impact on the function and longevity of the light.
So how long do LED lights last? Well, if you pick the right LED product it could last decades. When shopping around, search for a quality LED manufacturer who builds lights to a high standard. You certainly won’t regret paying a bit more initially when your light goes on shining for 20 years plus!

Term Bond
What Is a Term Bond?
A term bond refers to a bond that matures on a single, specific date in the future. At the time, the bond's face value (i.e., the principal amount) must be repaid to the bondholder. The term of the bond is the amount of time between the bond's issuance and its maturity.
The majority of bonds issued today are term bonds, and these may be contrasted with serial bonds, which are structured so that a portion of the outstanding bond matures at regular intervals until all of the bond has matured.
Key Takeaways
• Term bonds are bonds from a single issue that all mature on the same date.
• On the maturity date of term bonds, the face value (principal) must be repaid to the bondholders.
• Call provisions within term bonds stipulate characteristics where issuers can redeem bonds from investors prior to the maturity date.
• Unlike term bonds, serial bonds can have multiple and varying maturity dates.
How a Term Bond Works
Term bonds can have short- or long-term maturities; some may mature in a matter of weeks or months while others mature in several years from the issue date.
Term bonds that have a call feature can be redeemed at an earlier stipulated date prior to the maturity date. A call feature, or call provision, is an agreement that bond issuers make with investors. This agreement is written in a document referred to as an indenture, which explains how and when the bond can be called, including the multiple call dates throughout the bond's life. Thus, the issuer of a callable bond can redeem the bond at a predetermined price, at specific times before the bond matures. The time from issuance to call date(s) represents the bond's active term. Some corporate and municipal bonds are examples of term bonds that have 10-year call features.
Types of Term Bonds
Term bonds may come with a sinking fund requirement, where the company sets aside an annual fund to repay the bond. Some companies also offer "secured term bonds" in which they promise to back their bond with company collateral or assets, in case they fail to repay the stated amount of the bond upon maturity. Other companies offer no such support. Their term bonds remain "unsecured," in which case investors must rely upon the company's credibility and history.
With registered term bonds, the issuer records details of the sale so that if the account is lost, the issuer can track the owner. Non-registered bonds are untraceable in that the company does not register the individuals to whom it sells its bonds.
Term bonds can be backed by specific collateral (secured term bonds), where the collateral is set aside to secure the bonds in the event that they cannot be repaid at maturity.
Term Bonds vs. Serial Bonds
A term bond can be contrasted with a serial bond, which has various maturity schedules set at regular intervals until the issue is retired. A term bond refers to the issuance of bonds that are repaid at the same time. Term bonds can be short-term or long-term, with some having a longer maturity than others. Furthermore, they are exempt from tax and are relatively risk-free with a low-interest return.
A serial bond structure is a common strategy for municipal revenue bonds because these bonds are issued for fee-generating projects built by states and cities. Assume, for example, that a city builds a sports stadium that is funded with parking fees, stadium concession income, and lease income. If the bond issuer believes that the facility can generate income consistently each year, it can structure the bond for serial maturity dates. As the total amount of bonds outstanding decreases, the future risk on the bond issue defaulting also declines.
Example of a Term Bond
As an example, let's assume a company issues a million dollars worth of bonds in January 2020, all of which are set to mature on the same date two years later. The investor can expect to receive repayment from these term bonds in January 2022.
Serial bonds, on the other hand, have different maturity dates and offer different interest rates. So, for instance, a company may issue a $1 million bond issue and allocate its repayment of $250,000 over five years. Corporations tend to issue term bonds in which all of these debts mature simultaneously. Municipalities, on the other hand, prefer to combine serial and term issuances so that some debts mature in one block, while the payment of others is siphoned off.

Barak-Erdös graphs and the infinite-bin model
Sanjay Ramassamy
Mon, Jun. 14th 2021, 11:00-12:00
Salle Claude Itzykson, Bât. 774, Orme des Merisiers
Barak-Erdös graphs are the directed acyclic version of Erdös-Rényi random graphs : the vertex set is {1,...,n} and for each i<j with probability p we add an edge directed from i to j, independently for each pair i<j. The length of the longest path of Barak-Erdös graphs grows linearly with the number of vertices, where the growth rate C(p) is a function of the edge probability p. Foss and Konstantopoulos introduced a coupling between Barak-Erdös graphs and a special case of an interacting particle system called the infinite-bin model. Using this coupling, we show that C(p) is analytic for p strictly positive and is differentiable once but not twice at p=0. We also show that the coefficients of the Taylor expansion at p=1 of C(p) are integers, suggesting that C(p) is the generating function of some class of combinatorial objects. Barak-Erdös graphs arise as a special case of last-passage percolation on the complete directed acyclic graph. This is joint work with Bastien Mallein (Université Paris-13).

Supplementary MaterialsSupplementary_materials. viral surface (spike glycoprotein). From these analyses, we discovered four epitopes E332-370, E627-651, E694-715 and E440-464 that accomplish important features such as for example promiscuity, conservation grade, universality and exposure, plus they form steady complexes with MHCII molecule also. We claim that these epitopes could generate a particular immune response, and therefore, they may be used for upcoming applications like the style of brand-new epitope vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma peptide framework prediction strategy predicated on a concealed Markov Model produced Structural Alphabet (SA) (Lamiable et?al., 2016). Protein-Protein docking research MHCI-II proteins had been docked using the selected epitopes using the ClusPro 2.0 Server (Vajda et?al., 2017). Rabbit polyclonal to Caspase 1 In relation to this planned plan, epitopes can be viewed as as ligands, whereas substances such as for example HLA-DRB1*0401, HLA-A*2402, HLA-DRB1*0701 and HLA-A*0301 could be determined as receptors. Cluspro server uses distinctive algorithms which permit to judge an incredible number of predictive complexes by firmly taking accounts their electrostatic energy aswell as desolvation variables (Larkin et?al., 2007). Subsequently, some MHC-epitope complexes which present the best affinity were chosen. Molecular dynamics simulations from the MCH II-epitope complexes Molecular dynamics simulations from the MCH II epitopes2 Eleven.3 to predict immunogenic locations that could induce antibodies against the trojan SARS-CoV-2. Both from the machines mentioned predicted a lot more than 200 locations which could possess affinity either for MHCI or MHCII protein. Following this procedure, we chosen 11 epitopes because these locations showed promising features such as promiscuity (Ebrahimi et?al., 2019; Saraav et?al., 2016) conservation, affinity to HLA-Supertypes Procarbazine Hydrochloride (Doytchinova & Rose, 2005; Sidney et?al., 2008) and contact with the top of trimeric spike glycoprotein (Liang et?al., 2009). Affinity and Promiscuity revealment to HLA-Supertypes After submitting peptides in all these Machines, 11 epitopes (Desk 1) which demonstrated affinity towards the MHCI and MHCII substances were defined as promiscuous given that they were with the capacity of binding to different substances, and general because shown affinity towards HLA-Supertype substances, thus, epitopes will be efficient in various ethnic groups. Desk 1. Promiscuous epitopes. Which substances are described by This desk of HLA supertype present affinity towards the epitopes through the use of NetMHC 4.0 and NetMHCII 2.3 machines. The affinity is normally indicated in parenthesis as either vulnerable (WB) or solid (SB). research we discovered that epitopes E332-370, E627-651, E694-715 and E440-464 accomplish important features such as for example promiscuity, conservation grade, publicity and universality, as well as also type steady complexes with MHCII molecule as noticed in the binding free of charge energy computations (MM-PBSA). Overall, these features could offer higher probability to create a specific immune system response. The epitope E440-464 is situated Procarbazine Hydrochloride in the functional area from the spike glycoprotein as the epitope E694-715 is situated near this area. Alternatively, the antibodies that Procarbazine Hydrochloride might be potentially generated with the epitope E440-464 could recognize the RBM area while preventing the formation from the spike glycoprotein-ACE2 organic, and this you could end up the interruption from the trojan entry in a bunch cell. Finally, these immunoiformatics equipment permitted us to recognize epitopes you can use as potential vaccines in pandemic occasions. This work suggested a couple of epitopes that might be synthesized and assayed in pet model to determine their potential to induce immunogenic replies and even employed for potential applications like the style of brand-new epitope vaccines against Procarbazine Hydrochloride the SARS-CoV-2, that could represent a preventive technique to stop the pandemic worldwide also.

Why is There a Marble in Your Nose?
I once had to ask a student "Why is there a marble in your nose?" This question was a learning experience for me, as it led me down a path of questions I hadn't thought to ask before and revealed that the real challenge wasn't the stuck marble - it was that the student had outgrown naps and needed something productive to do while his classmates were sleeping!
People in tech come from a wide variety of backgrounds, which often influence how we carry out our roles. For instance, the skills involved in helping children transition smoothly from recess to naptime enabled me to successfully lead department-wide process changes. My experience teaching math to elementary students with an "I do, we do, you do" approach has helped me coach software engineers learning a new testing tool. And of course, my experience with the marble taught me the importance of asking questions and applying my curiosity, which has made me a better advocate for users and engineering teams.
Every experience matters! We all bring a variety of expertise and lessons learned from previous roles or industries, which allows us to think outside the box and challenge the status quo. It helps us include perspectives that might otherwise be lost or overlooked. Having a wider breadth of experience and knowledge makes us better at our jobs, and I hope that my talk inspires the audience to understand how their previous jobs have impacted and improved the way they work in software and technology.

RADAR enables extended parking mode for the U1000 and X1000
Low power consumption makes the U1000 or X1000 top choices for parking mode protection.
By adding the optional RADAR sensor, parking mode can be extended even further while still capturing pre-event footage.
Thinkware RADAR can be used on Energy Saving Parking Mode 2.0 (ESP 2.0) which is supported on the U1000 and X1000 Dash Cams.
ESP 1.0 allows Thinkware Dash Cams to record more time, but 1.0 only records after an impact is detected, so there is no footage before the incident.
When RADAR detects motion, it will wake the Dash Cam for a short time. If there is an impact during this time, RADAR allows the Dash Cam to record 20 seconds of footage, including before an impact is detected.

The cruisers of the Imperial Navy are both its symbol and its workhorses. The three classes of ship that make up the Element cruiser family are mainstays of the Imperial Navy, and can be found across Charted Space. From fighting wars and protecting the space lanes, to flag showing missions and voyages of discovery, Element cruisers are true, reliable workhorses of the navy. These huge vessels are equipped with configurable pods, allowing them to be tailored to specific missions, and this box set contains eight such pods, allowing a cruiser to act as a fleet carrier, exploration ship, scout or strike vessel.
This set includes a detailed description of all three Element cruiser classes, the crew who serve aboard them, and the missions they undertake. The ships come alive with the 24 massive blueprint posters (in a variety of electronic formats, allowing you to zoom in on specific details, get a wider view of the entire ship, or print out, allowing players and referees to visualise an entire Imperial capital ship across every deck and weapons bay. Also included is the Naval Campaigns Handbook, a complete guide to running your own ‘bridge crew’ campaigns in Traveller. Huge, sweeping campaigns can be created that will take a military ship and its crew through a war, or far out into unexplored space to discover what lies beyond the reach of the Third Imperium.

Curbing environmental impact and innovating to support the ecological transition
Reducing any impact on people and the environment while innovating to support the ecological transition are two factors of prime importance that permeate all decision-making at Eiffage Construction.
Shrinking the ecological footprint
Eiffage Construction was quick to understand the profound interplay between its activities and the environment, a position that confers greater responsibility upon the company and has led it to take action to shrink its ecological footprint.
The need to protect biodiversity and the natural surroundings is factored into every project from the outset. Eiffage undertakes numerous initiatives to limit its impact on the ground and in the air, notably by reducing waste and emissions.
The aim is to shrink the environmental impact of activities to better preserve resources and reduce waste.
Reducing consumption
Eiffage Construction prioritises the drive to curb its carbon footprint and reduce consumption of raw materials and non-renewable energy sources. The company aims to optimise its use of natural resources by limiting recourse to non-renewable energy.
Eiffage Construction is committed to growing a circular economy and seeks to reduce, reuse and recycle raw materials wherever possible.
Solar panels give buildings a self-sufficient energy supply.
Innovating to support the ecological transition
The ecological transition is a technological challenge for the construction industry. Eiffage is working with a range of stakeholders to push the envelope and explore all possible avenues in areas such as eco-innovation (timber-based construction and factory pre-assembled building modules), biomimicry and soft mobility solutions.
Eiffage initiatives like Phosphore, the company's sustainable urban development research programme, and Astainable, an urban design tool, are instrumental in shaping the city of the future.
Smart modular construction techniques help curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Certification and clean worksites
Eiffage Construction holds an array of quality certifications that reflect part of its commitment to cleaner practices. Virtually all aspects of the business hold QSE, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certification. Eiffage worksites adhere to the same standards and qualify as eco-friendly under ISO 14001. All abide by the guidelines of a charter to ensure green, clean and low-pollution working practices.

Abe Lincoln:View and Drafts of the Emancipation Proclamation
Abe Lincoln: The Views and Drafts of the Emancipation Proclamation.
12, 1809 in Hardin County, Kentucky. After the death of his mother at the tender age of 10, Lincoln's father moved him to Indiana. He did not know very much but at that age he learned how to read, write, and cipher. After his schooling Abraham spent 8 years in the Black Hawk Ways as a captain. Afterwards he rode through life a successful lawyer in the circuit courts, and in 1858 he gained a national reputation that won him the presidency in 1860.
Abraham Lincoln's election awakened the opponents of slavery to the possibility of using an amendment to abolish slavery. The southern secession that followed the election gave abolitionists an excuse to push the amendment through. However, it would be another two more years when Abraham and his party would consider an abolition amendment. There were many different views, and drafts written in regard to the emancipation proclamation: The African American View, a soldier's view, and the first and final drafts of the proclamation.
The most important view of the emancipation proclamation would be that of the African Americans. Their perception of Lincoln and the question of who freed the slaves remain varied and ambiguous. A past president of the Providence chapter of the NAACP remarked that the proclamation "was almost bogus, a lot of sound and fury, but there was no real enforcement power behind it" (Williams 13). Contrary to that belief the results of Mark Neely's research in the National Archives contributes to the fact that illegal slave owners after the amendment was passed were dealt with harsh punishments and without mercy. Such punishments included long prison sentences. Another attempt to answer the question of who freed the slaves comes from Mcpherson, who credits Lincoln, primarily because he would have war than allow secession. Mcpherson states that the slaves emancipated themselves, which contributed further to the African American view of Lincoln's Image as the Great Emancipator.

Involuntary manslaughter: An unintentional killing
On Behalf of | Apr 13, 2018 | Uncategorized |
Involuntary manslaughter charges occur when a person unintentionally causes the death of another person through reckless, unlawful or negligent behavior. Although not as severe as murder charges, the accidental killing of another person is still a criminal act.
The resulting death may have been an accident, but the risky actions and disregard for safety leading up to the death make the outcome a punishable crime.
Categorized charges
Tennessee divides acts of involuntary manslaughter into three categories of reckless homicide, criminally negligent homicide and vehicular homicide. Charges for involuntary manslaughter range from a Class A to a Class E felony. Depending on the felony, the fines vary between $3,000 and $20,000. Prison sentences range from one to 30 years.
Vehicular homicide
Tennessee code defines vehicular homicide as the reckless killing of another person while driving a car, boat, plane or other vehicle. The driver’s actions must have created substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury. Drag racing, excessive speeding and texting while driving count as vehicular homicide.
The death of another resulting from driving under the influence is a Class B felony, whereas other forms of vehicular homicide are a Class C felony. However, drivers with prior DUI convictions or vehicular assault charges may face an aggravated vehicular homicide charge, a Class A felony. The higher charge also applies to drivers with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.20 percent or higher at the time of the incident.
Criminally negligent and reckless homicide
Tennessee purposefully loosely defines criminal negligence and reckless homicide charges to address the vast array of potentially criminal behaviors. Reckless homicide occurs when a person is aware of the risk of death or serious injury to another person, but continues to act resulting in the death of the other person.
In contrast, criminally negligent homicide happens when a person should be aware of a risk, but ignores or fails to appreciate the risk, ending in the death of another person. Reckless homicide is a Class D felony and criminally negligent homicide is a Class E felony.
Those charged with involuntary manslaughter are accused of a flagrant disregard for another person’s life. The charges come with steep consequences in terms of prison time, fines and possible restitution. Convicted felons also face lifelong difficulties finding employment and housing. Those charged with any category of involuntary manslaughter should seek legal assistance for guidance on how to strategize a strong defense.

Good Morning Oberon!
Task 1: Spend 10 minutes on TTRockstars
Task 2: Complete 1 page of your arithmetic booklet
Task 3: Today's task is an introduction to algebra. The letters in each equation should be replaced by the matching numbers in the table at the top. Once you've completed the equation the answer has a matching number in the grid too, find the matching letter and jot it down to break the code. There is some BIDMAS in here. Please look very carefully at how I have solved the first clue, so that you understand what to do.
Look carefully at the symbols - some of the division symbols look like addition if you don't look closely.
X+W = 13+9 = 22 On the grid 22 = I, so that is my first letter.
2M When you see a letter and a number like this it wants you to multiply 2M = 2 x M, 3M = 3 x M
2M = 2 x M = 2 x 50 = 100. The letter for 100 is N.
N - K = 100 - 1 = 99 My third letter is O
D - 2A = D - 2 x 6 = Using BIDMAS I do 2x6=12 first. D= 12, so: 12 - 12 = 0. My final letter is L
I have the letters I N O L, they unscramble to make Lion as my first animal.
If you find this super difficult, just complete the yellow questions. We'll have time to look at the trickier ones when we're back in class.
If you're feeling confident, look at the challenge on the sheet.
Today we'll be looking at Extract 2 and Activity 2, which are below in case you cannot access the link. Read the extract below and then complete the activity in your journal.
Use the knowledge organiser on the left to help you plan and write a discussion text based on your bullet points from yesterday. Your text should be at least 6 paragraphs long, here is your structure:
Paragraph 1: Introduction - what is your topic? Why is it important? Who is involved in the debate?
Paragraph 2: Supporting arguments - Use quotations and statistics to support your ideas with our Point, Evidence, Explain structure. For the football topic there are lots of interviews with players online and the Prime Minister has spoken about it too - you could use their quotations. For the school topics, you could include quotations from friends and family.
Paragraph 3: Counter arguments, using statistics and quotations like in paragraph 2. This argument should link to the one you've made in paragraph 2.
Paragraph 4: Supporting argument
Paragraph 5: A counter argument to the points in paragraph 4
Concluding paragraph: Summarise the arguments on both sides and encourage the reader to review the information to reach their own conclusion.

Sweet set a torrid pace as Schatz and Stewart waged war for the runner-up position. Schatz wrestled the runner-up position away from Stewart on the eighth circuit and set his eyes on the leader. The lone caution during the race flew on Lap 11 as Tucker Klaasmeyer lost the handle on his Keith Kunz No.67K.
“Ted looked after his people, he had great relationships with his guys. He had a serious passion, not only for his guys, but for putting on a great race.

The reason grammar is taught in upper division courses are two fold: it is felt they must know grammar in order to know the language, plus it is believed they must know grammar in order to be academically prepared to do analysis of a literary or linguistic sort.
The first of these is false. Our greatest authors did not know grammar in the sense you are using the term: a conscious knowledge about the workings of the language from a grammatical perspective; they simply could speak and write well, which has little to do with the sort of grammatical knowledge you are talking about. Those wedded to grammar instruction would love it if explicit knowledge of grammar were necessary to write well, but it’s not.
The second of these works only when the learner already knows the language, i.e. grammatical knowledge may be useful in analyzing texts, in fact, I’m sure it is. But those who use linguistic knowledge of that sort did not use such knowledge to learn the language; they already knew the language and that’s why the grammar makes sense and becomes useful.
The crushing burden of this notion that we learn languages by understanding structure instead of meaning is that few students ever become proficient even at a beginner’s level in the language they study. I hear this every day from my students who compare my Latin class with other language classes they have taken or are taking in my high school. Three to five years of instruction in a language and they can do nothing with the language except conjugate verbs. It is truly sad because many of these students are fascinated by language and want to learn one or two languages besides English.
So, to answer your question directly, tprs works in that, from what I know about it, students come out of tprs classes able to use the language. Should they go on to upper levels, they will learn grammar just as students who are native speakers of English learn English grammar to the extent they need to in order to pursue their studies in English….. most likely literature, but if linguistics, then surely they’ll need to know grammar.
What you are picturing is the usual round of upper division grammar classes, still taught in universities, which produce students who cannot recognize the question “Where does your father work” in the target language and say things like “I have twenty years” instead of “I am 20 years old” (i.e. the target languages’s equivalent of the expression for giving one’s age). The purpose of those classes is to teach greater proficiency in the language but they result in the sort of students who e-mail us on flteach every week, telling of how they arrived in France with 4 years of college French and could understand nothing.
How long do we want to perpetuate this farce?

TY - JOUR T1 - Restoration of fast inactivation in an inactivation-defective human heart sodium channel by the cysteine modifying reagent benzyl-MTS: analysis of IFM-ICM mutation. JF - Biochem Biophys Res Commun Y1 - 1997 A1 - Mohamed Chahine A1 - Deschênes, I A1 - Trottier, E A1 - Chen, L Q A1 - Kallen, R G KW - Cell Line KW - Cysteine KW - Humans KW - Ion Channel Gating KW - Kinetics KW - Membrane Potentials KW - Mesylates KW - Molecular Structure KW - Mutagenesis, Site-Directed KW - Mutation KW - Myocardium KW - Patch-Clamp Techniques KW - Sodium Channel Blockers KW - Sodium Channels KW - Sulfhydryl Reagents KW - Thiosulfonic Acids KW - Transfection AB -
It has been suggested that the region linking domain III and IV of voltage-gated sodium channels forms the inactivation gate. A combination of site-directed mutagenesis, cysteine covalent modification, and electrophysiological recording techniques was used to identify the role of the Phe1486, a conserved phenylalanine residue located in the III-IV linker of Na+ channels. This Phe1486 is part of a hydrophobic amino acid cluster (IFM) that was proposed to play an essential role in the fast inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels. Expression in tsA201 cells of an altered human heart 1 Na+ channel (hH1/F1486C) in which Phe1486 was replaced by a cysteine is associated with the appearance of a residual current, a loss of voltage-dependence of the time constants of inactivation, a shift of the steady-state inactivation to more depolarized voltages, and a recovery from inactivation that is faster than the wild-type hH1. Exposure of the cytoplasmic surface of mutant F1486C to the methanthiosulfonate reagents, MTSEA, MTSET, and MTSES, further disrupted macroscopic inactivation, but exposure to MTSBN completely restores fast inactivation and the voltage-dependence of fast inactivation. These findings support the formulation that the IFM motif of the III-IV-linker of voltage-gated sodium channels serves as an essential component of the inactivation particle and that the phenyl group of Phe1486 may play a crucial role in inactivation gate closure.

According to Uzbekistan Airports, the visibility at Urgench airport has dropped to 200 meters due to fog. As a result, Aeroflot's AFL1976 flight, which was scheduled to depart from Moscow at 03:25, could not take off from Sheremetyevo Airport at the specified time.
The same situation was observed with two other flights: S7 Airlines had to postpone the Samara-Urgench flight and Ural Airlines delayed the flight from St. Petersburg.
The planes are currently staying at the Urgench airport until the weather improves.
Nukus airport has also been closed due to heavy fog. UzAirways' HY15/16 and HY11/12 flights are waiting for permission to fly in Tashkent. Flight HY9727/9728 from Nukus to Aktau, which was scheduled to take off at 11:30, was also delayed.

Neurological injury, as a result of stroke and traumatic brain injury, causes significant morbidity and mortality. Despite the importance of these conditions, the basis of current treatment remains supportive. In recent years, our increasing understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of secondary injury, for example excitotoxity, has led to a search for specific agents that can intercept these pathological pathways and act as pharmaceutical neuroprotectants. While successful in the laboratory, these agents have yet to demonstrate efficacy in the clinical arena. The reasons for these failures are varied and incompletely understood, but significant factors include inconclusive pharmacokinetic data, particularly regarding blood brain barrier penetration, and the heterogenous nature of these pathologies in humans. Microdialysis is an established, commercially available, clinical and research tool that is used to sample brain extracellular fluid. It provides the technology to determine the cerebral penetration of drugs and it measures biological markers of brain tissue injury. It can therefore be used to determine the biochemical efficacy of therapeutic manoeuvres. In this review we address the practical application of this technology to the process of drug development.

Chinese Hackers Were Successfully Able to Bypass 2FA
December 31, 2019
On December 19, the cyber security firm Fox-IT, which is headquartered in the Netherlands, reported that they discovered a previously-unknown infiltration of managed service provider and government computer systems in at least 10 countries, including the United States, Mexico, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain. These systems covered a wide range of industries, including aviation, construction, energy, finance, gambling, healthcare, insurance, offshore engineering, payroll and HR services, physical lock manufacturing, software development and transportation. Fox-IT believes a Chinese government-funded hacking group managed to bypass two-factor authentication (2FA) to initially access and then spread through these systems.
What Is 2FA?
Two-factor authentication was designed to make it more difficult for hackers to access secure, private data. It requires that a user provide two unique forms of information to prove identification when logging into accounts. For example, a system might recognize a user by their physical hardware, via a unique linked code, coupled with a separate unique password. The user might input a memorized password or a one-time password generated by a separate piece of hardware called a token or password generator. In banking, 2FA occurs when a card holder uses their physical card with their unique PIN number at an ATM or during debit transactions. In point-of-sale software payment processing, a merchant or an employee uses 2FA when they sign into their point-of-sale software on a computer, a unique device, with a unique password.
Which Group Is Responsible?
Although many hacking groups supported by the Chinese government exist, Fox-IT has linked this event to a Beijing-based group called APT20. Security firms believe this group started in 2011. Since the Chinese government invests a lot of time and money into hiding their hacking groups, APT 2020 was able to keep a low profile during 2016 and 2017. Firms couldn’t track them until they slipped up in 2018. Fox-IT referred to the 2FA bypass as “Operation Wocao” after a member of APT20 used the Chinese curse word “wocao” in a final line of Windows command failure code when they realized that their actions had been detected and they couldn’t hack a system. The word aptly described both the frustration and shock felt by not only the hacker, but also Fox-IT techs who realized that the system and others had been hacked in such a rare fashion.
How Did They Do It?
Cloud-Based Business App For MerchantsThis specific group typically uses the most basic hacking tools combined with the software already present on their victims’ systems. Two-factor authentication is incredibly difficulty to bypass since it uses unique forms of identification. Fox-IT has stated that APT20 found a way, currently unknown, to compromise the 2FA for virtual private networks possibly via vulnerabilities in the the corporate and government enterprise application platform known as JBoss. Essentially, they found a way to bypass the credentials necessary to access their victim’s VPN accounts and the computer systems attached to those networks. APT20 then focused their efforts on locating and hacking additional linked systems that held the credentials necessary for them to find and retrieve additional private data. The attack was designed to help them find higher and higher levels of authentication to access higher and higher levels of information. For example, they targeted password managers/vaults and then used the passwords they found to continue their data search and retrieval. Once they were finished, they did everything possible to delete all footprints of their actions to prevent detection.
What About Payment Processing?
APT20’s rare bypass of 2FA shows that hackers might be able to access any system in a similar fashion, including networked computers owned by merchants using point-of-sale software and/or customer databases. A hacking group could potentially mine merchant systems for customer names, credit card numbers, expiration dates and secure CVV codes. If the system also has a customer database, hackers could also retrieve private details, such as customers home addresses and product likes and dislikes. Hackers might use this data to learn more about specific individuals, such as politicians or military leaders, or create false identities.
We recommend that all merchants focus on improving not only their computer and network safety, but also their employee-based vulnerabilities. It’s important to train employees to recognize the many techniques used by hackers and how their actions can help these bad government-funded actors gain access. Merchants can also protect their systems by blocking employees from checking private email or downloading software on these systems.

Emergency Powers and Citizen Rights During the COVID-19 Public Health Crisis
What emergency powers do state and local governments have to address a pandemic?
What do 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina have in common with COVID-19? All resulted in governments' use of emergency or police powers. Police powers represent a state's power to protect its citizens and promote public health, safety, and welfare. To this end, states can enact and enforce laws and regulations that apply in emergency situations such as riots, natural disasters, and infectious disease outbreaks.
Local and state governments and the federal government have faced numerous emergency situations in recent years, from anthrax threats to the Boston Marathon bombing and destructive hurricanes to SARS—and now, COVID-19. So, what emergency powers can states and local governments implement to protect the public? And just how far can they go?
What Are Emergency or Police Powers?
Emergency or police powers exist so state and local governments can act quickly to protect their citizens. Generally, a governing body will declare an emergency—whether it's on the local or state level. The declaration of an emergency allows a governing body to issue orders to protect life and property and may allow suspension of certain laws or regulations that could hinder (prevent) emergency efforts.
Police Powers
In a 1905 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the "police power" of the states allows "reasonable regulations … as will protect the public health and safety." Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11. What does this mean? In a state of emergency, the government can restrain and regulate certain rights and liberties—such as the freedom to travel—for the greater good. But actions taken must be reasonable and use the least restrictive means (or methods). So, while generally, the government cannot restrict your movements, in the interest of health and safety, the government could temporarily limit or suspend your right to travel.
Public Health Emergency Powers
During a state of emergency, balancing public health and safety with the rights of citizens can be a daunting task. Many state legislatures and agencies have laws and regulations in place to help guide officials' responses to emergencies. In public health emergencies, many state and local governments give health departments authority to take actions necessary to protect the public.
In California, for example, the Communicable Disease Prevention and Control Act authorizes the State Department of Health Services to adopt and enforce regulations requiring strict or modified isolation or quarantine, if deemed necessary for the protection of public health. The law directs law enforcement and health officers to enforce orders issued by the department. Local health officers also have the power to take actions necessary to control the spread of disease. Any person who knows of, and violates, an order is guilty of a misdemeanor. (Cal. Health & Safety Code §§ 120100-120305 (2019).) Other states have similar public health emergency regulations in law.
How Far Can the Government Go When Restricting Liberties?
Because the government must act quickly in an emergency, some leniency is given regarding the government's actions during a time of crisis. Generally, though, restrictions on personal liberties must be reasonable and necessary and made in good faith for the preservation of public health, safety, or order. The government cannot arbitrarily restrict liberties that don't have a legitimate purpose. For example, a city could not enact curfews that apply only in predominantly black neighborhoods. Or a state can't restrict large worship gatherings but allow similar activities and large gatherings in other industries. (South Bay Pentecostal United Church v. Newsom, 592 U.S. ___ (2021).)
Can Emergency Orders Be Challenged?
Emergency powers have limits and can and have been challenged.
Constitutional Challenges to Emergency Orders
One of the primary legal challenges to emergency orders is whether they are constitutional. For instance, some lawsuits claim that orders prohibiting large gatherings violate First Amendment rights—freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, and freedom to petition (or protest) government actions. One case in Massachusetts challenged the governor's order that kept gun shops closed as a violation of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
Authority Challenges to Emergency Orders
In other cases, lawsuits have challenged the governor or public health agency's authority to issue emergency orders and restrictions. One of the most significant orders came from the Wisconsin Supreme Court. By a 4 to 3 decision, the court struck down the entire statewide safer-at-home order. The court held that the governor's administration (specifically the Department of Health Services) overstepped its authority in issuing the order—in both substance and procedure. In particular, the majority found that the department exceeded its statutory authority when forbidding travel and closing businesses and did not go through the proper channels (here the rulemaking process) needed to issue the order. The court declared the safer-at-home order "unlawful, invalid, and unenforceable."
Legislative Action on Emergency Powers
Outside the courtroom, legislators have used their authority to curtail emergency powers by changing state law. Some adopted laws allowing the state legislature to override a governor's emergency orders. Others limited the use of executive emergency powers to specific issues or time frames. In the past, a governor might use their emergency powers for a few weeks or months. The sheer length and expansive impact of COVID-19 left legislators grappling with how much, and for how long, governors should be able to issue orders solo—without going through the legislative vetting process involving citizen representation.
Your Rights and Civil Liberties
While some civil liberties may be limited during a time of crisis, importantly, they are not gone. The law provides latitude for government efforts to preserve public health and avoid catastrophe—but checks and balances remain.

How Different Types of Tyres Vary From One Another? - Pdf Slider
How Different Types of Tyres Vary From One Another?
Tyres come in a variety of types and models. Whether you just want to deal with the season change comfortably or boost your vehicle's performance by a long shot, a set of tyres is out there. In general, one model varies from another based on two parameters – rubber composition and tread design. Depending on where and how you use your Michelin Tyres Newcastle Upon Tyne, these will be adjusted. In this article, we will explore all the different types of tyres found in the market.
Summer Tyres:
In the summer season, the effective grip is the primary priority. So, you need to fit tyres which can provide it. Summer tyres are made using a special soft rubber material, which can adhere to the ground easily. That accounts for the excellent handling provided by this type of tyre. They are ideal for both wet and dry streets as long as the temperature is above seven degrees Celsius. Summer tyres are also known for providing superior driving comfort as they produce low noise. In addition, they have a high fuel economy and long durability due to their low rolling friction.
Aside from the rubber compound, the tread pattern also influences the performance of summer tyres. Unlike winter tyres, these have fewer channels and no sipes on the tread. That is because deep grooves in the snow tyres are crucial for water expulsion. But for summer tyres, increasing the contact patch becomes necessary to ensure optimum grip.
But it is these features that make summer tyres unsuitable for the frosty weather. The rubber hardens, and the tread pattern lacks the ability to cut through the snow, ice and sludge.
Winter Tyres:
When the temperature is low, winter tyres become necessary. Be it snow, ice, rain, or mud – they can tackle all types of road conditions. Made from material rich in natural rubber, winter tyres do not lose their flexibility in frigid weather. So, the braking distances remain short, accounting for safe rides.
In terms of construction, the tread consists of deep grooves and thick blocks, which provide the necessary traction on the snow-filled roads. A large number of sipes also helps eliminate as much water as possible, reducing the risk of aquaplaning.
We know summer tyres are unsuitable for the cold season. The same is the case for winter tyres in hot weather. The material will become way too malleable in the heat, resulting in low fuel efficiency and increased noise.
All-Season Tyres:
Summer and winter tyres are the ideal choice for places where harsh climate prevails. But if the weather is relatively mild, switching between two sets of tyres can be pretty stressful. In such cases, it is best to opt for all-season tyres. That is because they are a hybrid of summer and winter tyres. By using them, you save quite a bit of money. You also avoid the tyre maintenance and storage hassles that come with the seasonal models.
Run Flat And 4x4 Tyres:
In the above section, we classified tyres on the basis of climate suitability. That is how most vehicle owners like to choose the perfect set for them. However, it is still vital to understand the role of two more types of tyres. These include run-flat tyres and 4x4 tyres. The former utilises the run-flat technology (RFT), allowing punctured tyres to continue running. The speed is, of course, restricted, and so is the distance up to 80 miles.
So, they let you drive your vehicle to a safe spot or repair centre without getting stranded. 4x4 tyres, on the other hand, are constructed for off-road conditions. Their wide-set treads provide a significant amount of traction on rough terrains, preventing them from getting blocked.
Final Words:
Now you know all the information about the different types of tyres available in the market. We have done half the work for you. Your task is to pick a set of Cheap Tyres Newcastle Upon Tyne among these that suit your needs the best.

Pikuty – the play with a knife
The play involves throwing a knife from various parts of body, such as placing a knife on nose or elbow. Every way of throwing a knife has its own name, such as handle, fingers, elbow, arm, forehead, nose, beard, depending on the setting of the knife before the throw. It needs throwing so that the knife blade buried itself in the ground. The person who managed to do it, he/she marks a field with a diameter equal to the length of the blade. The winner is the person who managed to collect as much ground as possible (fields).
There will be new, modernized versions of old games and backyard plays which sometimes will go beyond the literal interpretation. Traditional games will be an inspiration, "new games" more or less free interpretation.

What Do Fish Eat in the Wild and as Pets?
06/12/2021 Off By Dima Ptyushkin
The aquatic world is both fascinating and mysterious. We know so little about our ocean friends that no question is a dumb one. So, what do fish eat in the wild?
Fish are cold-blooded creatures that are found all over the world. A variety of different types of fish live in fresh and saltwater, from small minnows to giant sharks. What they eat can depend on a number of factors such as their size, location, and availability. There is no one “perfect” diet for a fish because some species will consume both plants or animals while others only eat one type!
Now that humans have domesticated them, it could be important to know more about their diet. This blog post will explore the different types of fish, what they eat in the wild, and as pets.
Carnivorous Fish
As stated earlier, we can split fish-eating habits into three categories. The first category includes carnivores, meaning they only eat meat. These fish are fast swimmers and will typically avoid anything that is not moving or struggling.
Carnivorous fish can either be freshwater or saltwater, but some prefer one environment to the other. The rule of “big fish eats smaller fish” is in full effect here, as predatory fish will typically eat anything smaller than themselves.
Saltwater carnivorous fish eat things like squid, small tuna, and other smaller fish; freshwater carnivores will typically eat smaller species of trout, salmon, or catfish. Salmon is also known to feed on herring, while giant bluefin tuna have been seen eating dolphins!
The most well-known example of a predatory fish is definitely the Great White shark. Great White sharks are ferocious predators and have been known to eat whales, seals, sea lions, penguins, and pretty much anything else that they can get their jaws on.

They can smell blood in the water from miles away and will chase their prey at high speeds. Once they have the animal within range, they’ll use a technique called “bouncing,” in which they swim up out of the water to attack from above before swimming back down below its victim for an easy kill.
Carnivorous fish can also be divided into two groups: ambush predators and pursuit predators. Ambush predators typically wait until something comes close enough that is worth eating before attacking; these include piranhas and pike-fish! Pursuit predators are more active hunters who actively hunt their prey by using speed or camouflage techniques such as changing colours to match the backdrop of their environment.”
Many carnivorous fishes will also be considered an omnivore if they occasionally feed on plants or other animals as well as insects (insects are often eaten whole). The most famous examples include Oscars, Angel Fish, and Siamese Fighting Fish, which both enjoy munching down leaves!
Herbivorous Fish
Herbivores are generally slower swimmers and will typically only eat plants, such as seaweed or algae. Some of these fish include freshwater species like African catfish, Nile perch, tilapia, trout (freshwater), and carp; herbivorous saltwater fish include sardines and anchovies.
Herbivores are also more likely to be found in the shallows, where they can find enough vegetation. This is because they get their nutrients from the plants they eat and the waters they live in.
It’s important to note that herbivore fish are not restricted to eating plants; some will also eat small invertebrates like crustaceans and insects, such as Black bass do. The appetite of herbivore fish is often controlled by the availability of food in their environment, so they won’t always be hungry if there’s plenty around.
Herbivores have a lower chance of being bitten by predatory species because they don’t move at high speeds or swim into deep water. A predator would need luck for both conditions to happen simultaneously!
Omnivorous Fish
Omnivores also enjoy munching down on leaves (as well as insects), but this time the most famous examples include bass, which loved catching bugs before it was domesticated! This type has teeth that can tear meat like nothing, so small fish are also on the menu.
Omnivorous fish will eat anything that they can find because their stomachs have the capability to digest a variety of food sources. Omnivores spend most of their lives near the surface, so they can find more food.
In the ocean, omnivorous creatures are probably the most abundant, though we do not know what else is lurking in the abyss.
Pet Fish
The majority of pet fish you will find in pet stores are herbivores, which means they mostly eat plants. Feeding them will be a breeze since their food is premade for you.
Pet fish are the same as wild ones in that they have teeth, but these are more like molars for grinding food and not tearing it apart (like carnivorous fish).
Pet fish tend to be a little bit smaller than their wild counterparts of other types, although there are exceptions, so always double-check before you buy a fish if tank size matters to you.
Carnivorous Pet Fish
Carnivorous pet fish are becoming more popular in the aquarium hobby because their teeth are designed like those of a shark (for tearing flesh)! The most popular carnivore pet fish is the piranha. That’s not a fish to get if you are squeamish!
Feeding piranhas involves either a live fish or a chunk of meat as the piranha will kill and eat either.
There are many different types of fish. Depending on the type, they have a specific diet that will vary greatly from one to another. Fish can be classified as omnivorous (eating both plants and animals), carnivorous (only eating meat), or herbivore (only consuming plant material).
Wild fish and domestic fish also share some similarities in their basic dietary needs depending on their category. If you want to know more about the mysterious aquatic world, check out the rest of our blog for all your fish-related questions!

> Rolling back previous enhancements would break existing code.
I sympathize completely with the need to maintain backward compatibility. And if this is the reason that this issue gets treated only as a documentation issue, rather than as a behavior issue, I can appreciate that.
If that is the case and literal_eval is not going to only evaluate literals, then for my use case I'll need a way to determine from a string whether it represents a literal. I can implement this myself using ast.parse and walking the resulting tree, looking for non-literal AST nodes. Would such an "is_literal" function would be more appropriate in the ast module than as a one-off function in Python Fire?
> The key promise that literal_eval makes is that it will not permit arbitrary code execution.
I disagree that this is the only key promise, and here's my reasoning. The docstring has two sentences, and each one makes a promise:
1. "Safely evaluate an expression node or a string containing a Python expression."
2. "The string or node provided may only consist of the following Python literal structures: strings, bytes, numbers, tuples, lists, dicts, sets, booleans, and None."
(1) says that evaluation is safe -- this is the key promise that you reference. (2) is also a promise though, that only certain types are allowed. While one could argue that the behavior of the function is not specified for inputs violating that criteria, I think the clear correct thing to do is to raise a ValueError if the value doesn't meet the criteria. This is what was done in Python 2, where the docstring for literal_eval is these same two sentences (modulo the inclusion of bytes and sets). It's my opinion that Python 2's behavior better matches the docstring as well as the behavior implied by the function's name.
# Additional observations
1. Python 2 _does_ support parsing complex literals, but does not support treating e.g. '1+1' as a literal.
ast.literal_eval('1+1j') # works in both Python 2 and Python 3
ast.literal_eval('1j+1') # raises a ValueError in Python 2, returns 1+1j in Python 3
ast.literal_eval('1+1') # raises a ValueError in Python 2, returns 2 in Python 3
2. Python 3 supports parsing addition and subtraction at any level of nesting.
ast.literal_eval('(1, (0, 1+1+1))') # raises a ValueError in Python 2, returns (1, (0, 3)) in Python 3
In my opinion, Python 2's behavior is correct in these situations since it matches the documentation and only evals literals as defined in the documentation.
# Source
The relevant code in Python 2.7.3 is [here]( It explicitly allows NUM +/- COMPLEX, but not even COMPLEX +/- NUM. The corresponding code for Python 3 is [here]( You'll notice it supports adding and subtracting arbitrary numeric types (int, float, complex).
Thanks for your replies and for hearing me out on this issue.

You might get confused to see the dollar sign ($) in JavaScript coding. And wonder what does the dollar sign mean in javascript?
This guide will clear your confusion about the use of the dollar sign in JavaScript.
1. Dollar Sign in Template Literals
In JavaScript we use $ sign and then { } to embed expression in string. It allows multi-line string and string interpolation features.
Example 1: To Embed and evaluate an arithmetic express inside a string.
let string = `2 + 2 is ${2+2}`;
Example 2: To Embed a value from a javaScript variable in a string.
let age = 25;
let message = `I am ${age} years old.`;
If you use ” ” (double quote) or ‘ ‘ (single quote) and try to use the ${expression} it won’t work.
Note: The template literals are enclosed by ` ` (backtick).
2. JavaScript Dollar Sign Variable
When using jQuery, developers usually prefer to use a variable name with a dollar sign. It’s a personal practice to identify that it contains a jQuery object.
Here is a code example of jQuery with a dollar sign variable.
// store a jQuery object
var $myDiv = $('#divID');
// to create a jQuery object you must have the jQuery library
// or in plain JavaScript
var myDiv = Document.getElementByID('divID');
You might have seen something like the above code.
On line number 2, where we have declared a variable $myDiv, it does not mean anything special to the JavaScript engine. It is the same as that of myDiv at line number 7.
In conclusion, If you are using jQuery with a mix of Plain Js then, it is a good practice to prefix the variable that contains a jQuery object with a dollar sign. This help in identification, understand the code better.
If you do so, a $ sign in a variable simply will remind you that it contains a jQuery object not a string, boolean or a number, etc.
Finally, if you have any confusion about the dollar sign in JavaScript then let us know in the comments below. Also, you might be interested to read about the Math floor JavaScript method.

Chapter 2: Biology and Human Potential
The Nervous and Endocrine Systems
The Nervous System: Connecting Sensation and Movement
As we consider the human genotype, we will start by providing an overview of the (see Figure 2.7), those structures which transmit information regarding external and internal stimulation and coordinate behavior.
Figure 2.7 Overview of human nervous system
The , consisting of the brain and spinal cord, organizes and interprets information received from the peripheral nervous system and initiates responding. The responds to sensory information originating outside the body and stimulates the skin, joints, and skeletal muscles. This type of behavior is often considered voluntary. The governs the activity of the smooth muscles and glands internal to the body involved in circulation, respiration, and digestion (see Figure 2.8). This type of activity is often considered involuntary. The division results in arousal under stressful or dangerous conditions as the body is prepared for “fight or flight.” The division calms the body upon removal of the stress or danger.
Figure 2.8 The autonomic nervous system
Making the Physical Connections: The Neuron
Even very simple animals require some way of connecting environmental input with behavioral output. Specialized nerve cells called are required to respond to external and internal stimulation (i.e., sensory neurons) and carry information to parts of the body capable of responding (i.e., motor neurons). A third type of cell referred to as an connects nerve cells to each other. Nervous systems consist of these types of specialized neurons and range in size from a few hundred nerve cells in worms to approximately 100 billion nerve cells in humans. Neurons are capable of transmitting information electrically and chemically. Figure 2.9 portrays the major parts of a neuron. are small branches which can connect to nearby neurons. A single can extend in length up to about a meter in humans and connect to the dendrites of more distant neurons. For example, a neuron could connect the spinal cord to a foot.
Figure 2.9 The neuron
Nerve cells “fire” (i.e., achieve their electrical ) according to an . That is, either the cell is totally activated or not at all. Increasing the intensity of stimulation does not increase the likelihood of a nerve responding. Rather, it increases the nerve’s rate of firing (i.e., frequency over time). For example, as a lamp becomes brighter, this does not increase the likelihood of a receptor cell in your eye firing. Rather, it increases the frequency with which the receptor cell fires. Nerves can fire at rates as high as a thousand times per second.
Making Chemical Connections: Neurotransmitters
The chemical exchange between neurons occurs at , the small spaces separating the dendrites and axon endings (see Figure 2.10).
Figure 2.10 The synapse
The first nerve cell releases chemical that can bind with receptors in the second neuron. The exchange can result in or , depending upon the type of receptor activated. Figure 2.11 lists the major neurotransmitters along with their roles in the body.
Figure 2.11 The major neurotransmitters
can affect mood, thought, and behavior. Most achieve these effects by impacting upon neurotransmitters and synaptic connections. In Chapter 11 (Maladaptive Behavior), we will consider the use of psychoactive drugs in the treatment of depression and schizophrenia.
The Brain
For literal and figurative reasons, it is tempting to refer to the human brain as evolution’s crowning achievement. After all, the brain sits atop our nervous system and enables our most complex overt and covert behaviors. Your thoughts, your feelings, all the complex things you do, would not be possible without this organ housed inside your skull on top of your head.
The human brain is similar in construction to the brains of other mammals but much larger in comparison to the size of our bodies. Without the increase in brain size occurring during human evolution it would not matter if we inherited the physical structures necessary to speak and create tools. This potential would never be realized. Manhattan would still look the same as it did 400 years ago. We are now using our remarkable brain to study itself. The United States government declared the 1990s as the “Decade of the Brain” and much progress has been made in understanding how the brain operates. President Barack Obama of the United States declared “The BRAIN (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) Initiative” in 2013, hoping to advance this knowledge.
There are many ways of describing the brain in terms of its structure (i.e., anatomy) or function (i.e., parts operating together in producing a specific effect). Figure 2.12 shows the major parts of the human brain. The is involved in the higher human cognitive functions including attention, perception, thinking, memory, language and consciousness.
Human brain - Wikipedia
Figure 2.12 Human brain
The brain is an adaptive organ connecting sensation with movement. Besides the primary somatosensory area in the , sensory areas include the for vision and for hearing. Besides the primary motor area at the rear of the , motor areas include the brain stem and spinal cord. The rest of the cortex is referred to as association areas and is dedicated to perception and cognition. It is the size and structure of this area which expanded enormously as humans evolved and enabled us to not only survive but to transform the human condition.
A human brain weighs about three pounds and feels “squishy” (something like gelatin). The cerebral cortex covers most of the brain and is comprised of nerve fibers folded in such a manner (called ) to increase the amount of surface area in the total space. There are two symmetrical halves often referred to as the left brain (or hemisphere) and right brain (or hemisphere). The two halves are connected by the , a thick network of nerve fibers enabling the two sides to communicate. The left side of the brain connects to the right side of the body and vice versa. Certain activities appear more characteristic of one side than the other (see Figure 2.13). These distinctions are referred to as . Despite the different emphases, both sides usually act in concert in carrying out these activities (Toga & Thompson, 2003).
File:Brain Lateralization.svg
Figure 2.13 Brain lateralization
Most of the expansion in the size of the human brain occurred in the frontal lobe. This part of the brain is involved in self-control, described in Chapter 1, and in abstract thought and problem-solving, described in Chapter 7. The small occipital lobe is dedicated to vision, described in Chapter 3. At the borders of the frontal and parietal lobes is a deep fissure (the ) where large strips of neural tissue dedicated to sensation (the primary somatosensory cortex) and movement (the primary motor cortex) meet. The temporal lobe is primarily involved with memory and language, described in Chapter 6. The parietal lobe is involved with sensation originating in the skin, muscles, and joints.
The Endocrine System: Hormonal Regulation
The consists of ductless glands that secrete s (chemical messengers) into the blood stream to maintain homeostasis. It exists in all animals having a nervous system. Like the nervous system, the endocrine system enables communication between different parts of the body.
The endocrine system maintains homeostasis through a series of feedback loops, the most important of which are controlled by the interacting with the. Often, the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete an activating hormone to another gland. If a signal is transmitted to a gland, indicating low blood levels of its hormone, it secretes additional amounts into the blood stream. Once the optimal level is restored, the gland stops secreting the hormone. In this way the endocrine system plays its critical role in metabolism, growth, sexual development, reproduction, and responding to stress. Figure 2.14 shows the locations of the major glands.
Figure 2.14 Major gland locations
The connects to the base of the hypothalamus and is often referred to as the master gland since it secretes several different hormones impacting upon other glands involved in maintaining homeostasis. Hormones secreted by the pituitary control growth, blood pressure, water balance, temperature regulation, and pain relief. The is located at the base of the cortex between the two hemispheres and next to the thalamus. It influences the sleep-wake cycle by secreting the hormone melatonin when stimulated by light. The is located in the neck by the larynx (voice box) and affects metabolism by controlling the rate at which energy is expended. It is one of the glands under the control of the pituitary which secretes thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The pituitary in turn is controlled by the hypothalamus through the release of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). Humans usually have four located on the rear surface of the thyroid gland. These control the amount of calcium in the blood and bones. The is located below the thyroid gland in the middle of the chest. It is an important part of the immune system. Damage, such as through contracting the HIV virus, can result in increased susceptibility to infection (e.g., AIDS). The lies toward the bottom of your rib cage and is involved in the removal of red blood cells. The are located on top of the kidneys and through the release of epinephrine (adrenalin) are significantly involved in the body’s “fight-or-flight” response in reaction to danger. The (ovaries for the female and testes for the male) secrete hormones controlling the development of the reproductive sex organs and secondary sex characteristics (e.g., pubic hair) during puberty.

The Witch Craze : Factors And Advancements Of The Witch In The 1700s
1122 Words5 Pages
The Witch Craze Witchcraft in the 1400s going on to the 1700s gained massive popularity due to subsequent factors. Some of these factors included hallucinogens contained in the “oyl” women used to anoint themselves, manipulating the hysteria and using it as a form of social control to make people conform to the norms of the society and lastly, using it to explain misfortunes that afflicted the people of the community and the neighboring ones. Firstly, a witch had confessed that before going off on their meetings, they (the witches) anoint themselves with a special oyl that was brought to them by a spirit and that it assisted them on their journey with the devil to Sabbat; a place filled with merriment where their desires were being fulfilled. This ointment was said to help in the transportation of their soul and or body to the said destination. The oyl is rubbed on their staffs, broomstick or under their armpits and other hairy parts of their body. What was unknown to them was that the ointment contained hallucinogenic active agents from plants like mandrake, henbane, and belladonna (also referred to as deadly nightshade). From these plants, the active hallucinogenic agent, atropine can be found in them and according to Marvin Harris, “atropine is…absorbable through the intact skin.” Under the influence of this hallucinogen, the users of the ointment claimed to see several people with them making merry in the Sabbat and fulfilling their utmost desires of sexual lust and

The Heroes of Cuisine: About Herbs, Spices, Seasoning, and Flavoring
As every chef knows, flavors and seasonings are the life of a dish. The magic that these create in our taste buds is what enchants us, and makes us wish for more. In this article, we’ll discuss what herbs, spices, seasoning, and flavors are all about.
While anyone who has cooked will already know what herbs, spices, seasoning, and flavorings actually do, most of us aren’t very sure about what the terms mean. In regular use, most of us tend to interchange the terms. For instance, most of us would not be able to explain the differences between spice vs seasoning, or herbs vs spice. But without a doubt, we would be able to use them perfectly in our recipes. Learn more about these nuances to bring your recipes up a notch.
What are Seasonings?
Seasoning is the process of adding ingredients such as herbs, spices, oil, sugar, or salt in order to enhance the taste of a dish or to increase its shelf life. The purpose of seasoning a food is to add a distinct flavor or flavors to it, without disturbing the original flavors. For example, seasoning a pasta with a dash of pepper might give it a spicier taste, without eliminating the flavor of the sauces.
Seasonings also help increase the shelf life of various items. Did you ever wonder why pickles stay fresh for so many months? It’s because the combination of oil and salt seasoning helps keep them safe from hydration, thereby increasing their shelf life.
is pepper a seasoning
What are Flavorings?
Flavors are substances that add a distinctive taste and/or smell to your dish. Flavorings help you make your dish more of what you want it to be - typically, you would want your salsa dish to have dominant paprika flavors, while the same paprika flavor is added as a seasoning to some soups.
Flavorings help create a benchmark taste and smell, and trademark your style of cooking. Some cooks favor a dash of spice in their curries, and add sugar to make desserts sweeter. Flavorings, in conclusion, are ingredients like herbs, spices, or their combinations that alter the taste of a dish.
What are Herbs?
Herbs are naturally available plant derivatives that are used for culinary and medicinal purposes. Anything derived from the green parts of the plant, like the stem or leaves, is considered a herb. Fragrant and aromatic, herbs are often used in perfumes as well in the form of essential oils.
Herbs are usually used when they are fresh, as dried herbs tend to lose their potency of smell, aroma, and performance. Herbs are easy to grow, and since fresh herbs are such a crucial element to the success of your recipe, we recommend that you invest in them.
Herbs, too, can be used as flavorings and seasoning. Consider the classic pesto dish. Used in pesto pizzas and pesto pastas, the word pesto evokes the powerful memory of a flavorful green colored sauce that smells as good as it tastes. This is an example of using basil, a herb, to create a flavorful sauce, that is, pesto. Next, consider toasts with tomato dressings, or ricotta toasts, or sandwich toasts. These are some examples of situations where herbs are used as a seasoning, rather than to give a distinct flavor.
With time, technology has paved the way to store herbs for longer durations. Using dried herbs can help preserve the flavor for longer. However, the technique of drying fresh herbs is crucial, as well as the equipment (ovens, microwaves) that you use. Read the section on “How To Preserve Fresh Herbs” to find out the recommended techniques.
Some important (and well-known) herbs include mint, chervil, dill, tarragon herb, rosemary, marjoram, thyme, coriander leaves, mugwort, basil, wild onion, sage brush, and so many more.
It’s interesting to note that the medicinal properties of herbs were widely acknowledged and trusted. For instance, even today in the age of science and technology, people believe that using sage in the house can ward off evil spirits. It’s easy to conclude that herbs have been one of the central elements of human culture and culinary and medicinal advancements over the last four to five thousand years.
What are Spices?
Spices, too, are plant derivatives. Spices are obtained from the root, bark, seed, bud, and fruits of plants. Spices have tremendous historical significance. Voyages were embarked upon, wars were fought, and cities were besieged – all for the purpose of establishing monopoly on spices. Spice routes in the medieval time were of tremendous importance, and kingdoms that had the power of supplying these coveted spices were highly prosperous.
Today, we will be hard pressed to think of dishes that do not contain at least one spice item. Spices enhance the palatability of food, and give it a distinct flavor. Spices are commonly added both at the middle and the end of the cooking process. Sometimes, spices are used as seasoning. For example, the use of saffron in a dessert is generally a seasoning element, as the intention is to bring in its unique scent to our senses.
Spices are also the main flavor in other dishes, such as salsa verde, where the primary intention is to make the taste feel hot and adventurous through the use of green chili peppers. It’s a common misconception that spices can only make a dish taste more hot, on the contrary, spices like cardamom and cloves add a scent of warmth and sweetness to dishes.
spice vs seasoning
Store spices in cool, shady places, inside mason jars (airtight jars) or glass bottles. Spices generally have a longer shelf life, although we do recommend that youuse fresher packets to enhance the smell and potency of your dishes. Therefore, the trick is to anticipate your needs in a way that keeps your purchases moving periodically.
Some important spices include black peppercorn, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cinnamon powder, cloves, cumin seeds, turmeric (which is well known for its healing properties), paprika, allspice, and many more.
The cultural and economic impact of spices is stupendous. You’ll be interested to know that pepper was once used as a currency! Historical records show that the elite and rich people of the erstwhile kingdoms would marinate their meat in flavorful spices, but the poor had to make do with garlic water.
Common questions
Some common questions people often have are:
How are Spices Different from Seasoning?
Spices, too, are a form of seasoning. It purely depends on how the spice is being used in the recipe. If it’s used to modify the taste of a dish and make it its own, the spice can be considered to be a flavoring agent in the recipe. If it’s used to add a tinge of taste and smell without modifying the primary composition of the dish, it can be considered as a seasoning agent. In conclusion, the question of spice vs seasoning doesn’t arise, as spice itself can be used as a seasoning.
Herbs vs Spices
Herbs and spices are plant derivatives used to enhance or modify the taste and smell of a dish. While herbs come from the green parts of the plant, such as the leaf or the stem, spices are derived from the rest of it. This includes oil-bearing seeds, roots, barks, and flowers of the plant. Another key difference between herbs and spices is that spices cannot be used while they’re fresh, while herbs are used both fresh and dried.
Now that you know the key differences between herbs and spices, you’ll also benefit from knowing that some of the world’s most prominent ingredients like Garam Masala are a combination of herbs and spices. When cooked well, herbs and spices make a colorful, highly palatable, and zesty combination that awes culinary enthusiasts worldwide.
Is Salt a Spice or a Seasoning?
Salts are a seasoning, not a spice. Since salts are obtained through water (and not plants), salts are considered a seasoning. This ingredient, that forms the backbone of the majority of dishes, comes in various varieties. Learn more about the different types of salts
is salt a spice or seasoning
Is Pepper a Seasoning?
Pepper is a form of seasoning. Pepper is a spice, and when used to enhance the flavor and taste of a dish, it is considered to be a seasoning.
We hope that this guide helps answer your questions about herbs, spices, seasoning, and flavoring. Happy cooking!

Guitar Shop 101: Tips for Replacing a 3-way Toggle
Photo 1
Given the popularity of Les Pauls, SGs, Explorers, Flying Vs—and the thousands of other two-pickup axes inspired by these iconic models—it's no surprise I've replaced many failing 3-way switches over the years. Switches get used a lot and eventually they can wear out. When this happens, you'll hear loud popping sounds or scratchy noises, and the signal may even cut out when you're switching pickups.
The project.
To illustrate the steps, I'll use a 1983 Ibanez Les Paul copy that has a standard 3-way pickup selector: neck only, neck-plus-bridge, bridge only (Photo 1). Charmingly, Ibanez kept the arcane "Rhythm" and "Treble" designations for the neck and bridge pickups.
This is a cool guitar and it plays great, but the toggle switch is shot. Like many imported guitars, it has a cheap switch. I'm going to upgrade the guitar with a Switchcraft model, one of several options preferred by discerning players and professionals who are willing to pay a bit extra for reliability. Let's take a closer look.
Types of toggle switches.
The internal parts are exposed on an open toggle switch, but open switches are usually made from better materials. Switchcraft double-pole 3-way switches boast solid construction and last a long time, which explains why they're used on so many high-quality instruments.
Removing the old switch.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the cover plate on the back of the guitar to access the switch cavity. If you already have an open switch and you're simply replacing it with a new one, draw a diagram of the old switch or label each wire to help you remember the connections.
Image 1
If you're replacing a budget box switch with an open toggle switch, you can use the simple diagrams I've provided as a guide. Image 1 (above) shows a common 3-way toggle as seen from the front and Image 2 (below) shows the back view.
Tip: Don't use a pair of pliers to remove the nut collar! Pliers will mar the knurled nut and if you slip, you'll also damage the top of your guitar.
Installing the new switch.
Photo 2
On the open switch I'm installing in this Ibanez, there are four prongs at one end and one prong on the opposite side (Photo 2). The four grouped prongs are the switch's inputs and output, and the single prong on the opposite side is the ground. In the group of four prongs, the two outer prongs are the inputs for the pickups and the two in the center are the outputs.
Before soldering, I use hemostats to gently bend the outer prongs (these connect to the pickups) away from the two output prongs between them. Then I crimp the two inner prongs together, because they'll share one wire from the switch's output to the output jack.
Note: Open 3-way toggles may differ physically. On a right-angle switch, for example, the ground prong and the input and output prongs are stacked vertically, and on some straight switches the ground prong is located between the two inputs, while the outputs are on the opposite side. But regardless of the layout, the principle is the same, and once you understand it you'll be able to confidently wire up your guitar. Study the wiring diagram that came with your new switch to confirm how it's configured, or use a multimeter to test and identify the input and output prongs.
Slide the new switch into the switch cavity, thread on the collar or nut, and then tighten it. Be careful when tightening the collar—it only needs to be "finger tight." If you torque it too much, you'll strip the threads. Also be sure to orient the switch so the toggle throw matches the original.
Solder up.
Once you've soldered the four wires to their prongs, it's time to check your work. Gently tap the pickups with your hemostats for each position of the switch. You should get neck and bridge alone when the toggle is pointed up or down, respectively, as viewed from the playing position, and both when the toggle is in the center position.

Hellenica World
In physical cosmology the electroweak epoch was the period in the evolution of the early universe when the temperature of the universe was high enough to merge electromagnetism and the weak interaction into a single electroweak interaction (> 100 GeV). The electroweak epoch began approximately 10-36 seconds after the Big Bang[1], when the strong force separated from the electroweak interaction. This phase transition triggered a period of exponential expansion known as cosmic inflation. At approximately 10-32 seconds after the Big Bang the potential energy of the inflaton field that had driven the inflation of the universe during the inflationary epoch was released, filling the universe with a dense, hot quark-gluon plasma. Particle interactions in this phase were energetic enough to create large numbers of exotic particles, including W and Z bosons and Higgs bosons. As the universe expanded and cooled, interactions became less energetic and when the universe was about 10-12 seconds old, W and Z bosons ceased to be created. The remaining W and Z bosons decayed quickly, and the weak interaction became a short-range force in the following quark epoch.

Stop Using Double Equals In JavaScript
August 3, 2020
Unlike many other programming languages JavaScript has both a double equals == and triple equals === comparison operator. At first glance they seem to do nearly the exact same thing, but there is one major difference between the two that makes triple equals almost always better.
If you prefer to learn visually, check out the video version of this article.
What Makes Them Different
Both double and triple equals will check the equality of two values and return true or false depending on if they are equal or not, but the way they perform that equality check is slightly different. With double equals, JavaScript will convert the types of the two values to be exactly the same before doing an equality check. This means that if you have the following code 1 == '1' then JavaScript will convert the string '1' into a number so that the equality check is comparing two numbers. This would result in the previous code returning true since the number one is equal to the string one after it is converted into a number.
With triple equals this conversion of types does not occur. That means that if we use the same code as before but with a triple equals comparison we will get false 1 === '1'. This is because the string '1' is not converted into a number and thus when the equality of the number one is compared to the string one it returns false since a string is never equal to a number.
Why Is This Important
It may seem like double equals is the preferred method for equality checks since it does the type conversion for you and more than likely when you are comparing 1 and '1' you meant for them both to be numbers. In practice, though, this is actually a terrible idea.
The problem is that this could lead to many false positives. For example take the following code.
0 == ''
Obviously, the number zero is not equal to an empty string so we would expect this to return false, but it actually returns true. This is because JavaScript is trying to convert the empty string to a number and converts it to the number zero. This can lead to a ton of potential problems. For example, assume you have a number input element that the user types into and you want to check to see if they type in zero. If you use the previous code for that check it would return true whenever they type in 0 and also whenever the input is blank which is not ideal. This can all be avoided with triple equals, though, since anytime the types of the values differ triple equals will return false.
When To Use Double Equals
So it sounds like double equals is terrible and should never be used due to possible false positives, but there is one case in particular that I find double equals to be incredibly useful. That situation is when you need to check for null/undefined values. If you compare null and undefined with doubles equals it will return true, but with triple equals it will return false.
null == undefined // true
null === undefined // false
Many times when I am trying to check a variable to see if it is null I also want to check to see if it is undefined at the same time. Because of this, I almost always use double equals to compare against null/undefined since it will return true if my value is null or undefined.
x == null // True if x is null or undefined
x === null // Only true is x is null
In 99% of all cases you should use triple equals comparison when comparing two values to avoid false positives, but if you are attempting to check if a vales is null/undefined then using double equals is the preferred method.

UConn’s Black Students Protest in Wilbur Cross Library, April 22-23, 1974
The students filed into the building, one after the other. They made their way to the east wing, where they fanned out among the tables and chairs. Some pulled pen and paper from bags, others opened books carried under arms. “Right on, this gives me a chance to tighten up on my studyin’,” someone said. Most stayed silent.
For the staff on duty, nothing seemed amiss. It was April 22, 1974, an ordinary day at the Wilbur Cross Library on the University of Connecticut campus. Masses of students moved in and out of the building, and the staff served them as usual. The trouble came at closing time.
Just before midnight, an employee asked the 200 or so black students gathered in the library to leave. The students stayed put. They had come to study—in part.
But they had also come to protest.
The early 1970s were a turbulent time for the University of Connecticut. The social awakenings of the 1960s had taken their toll on the university and its beloved president, Homer D. Babbidge.
Toward the end of his term, Babbidge had to contend with a series of high-profile protests against the U.S. war in Vietnam.
In 1967-68, demonstrators led by the local chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) disrupted on-campus interviews held by recruiters for Dow Chemical Company and the Olin-Mathieson Corporation. At the time, both companies produced munitions and chemical weapons for the U.S. government.
UConn President Homer Babbidge in “Diary of a Student Revolution,” 1969.
During the demonstration against Olin-Mathieson in November 1968, President Babbidge sent in 200 local police to disperse crowds and arrest protesting students and faculty. These events were later chronicled in a television documentary, Diary of a Student Revolution.
In 1970, Babbidge faced continued actions on the part of SDS and other student groups. During the spring semester, students continued to protest the U.S. involvement in Vietnam with an occupation of the ROTC hangar and a general strike against the war. In need of a respite, President Babbidge retired from his position in early 1972.
After a long and torturous search for a replacement, Glenn W. Ferguson became university president in May 1973. His tenure would at times be just as rocky as his predecessor’s.
Demands made by UConn’s Black Students, April 22, 1974.
Ferguson faced a tangle of difficult issues from his first day in office: the coming of collective bargaining for faculty and staff, discontent over the campus bookstore, upheavals in the Anthropology Department, and the rising demands of women and minority students.
The latter concern pushed the group of black students to occupy the library. It also brought them into sharp conflict with their new president.
On April 11, a few weeks before the library sit-in, 300 black students marched to Gulley Hall, home of the university president’s office, to deliver Ferguson a list of demands.
Among other things, the students demanded that the university reunite the recently divided Anthropology Department; conduct an investigation into two professors the students accused of producing racist research; support the construction of an Afro-American Cultural Center; and provide greater recruitment and support for black and other minority students.
President Ferguson responded to the list of demands in a letter to Rodney Bass, Chairman of the Organization of Afro-American Students, on April 16, 1974, five days after the initial protest.
Local police enter Wilbur Cross Library to remove protesters, April 23, 1974.
Ferguson wrote that “the demands are timely, well-presented, and deserve a definitive answer.” After an introductory note, he spent three pages answering each point in detail. He finished the letter by thanking Bass for bringing the issues to his attention and affirming that the University of Connecticut had an obligation to support its minority students.
Yet the coalition of black students deemed the president’s response anodyne and evasive.
In a reply delivered to Ferguson the following day, the students characterized his letter as “middle of the road.” It signified what the students had come to expect from administrators on campus—“vague and ambiguous procrastination.”
Absent any real commitment from the president, the students felt compelled to take their message beyond the confines of Gulley Hall. Ferguson’s lackluster response had pushed the students to further protest.
Studying together in the library after hours on the night of April 22-23, the coalition of black students sought to increase the pressure on administrators to meet their demands.
Not long after the sit-in began, campus police and other university officials gathered outside the building. Someone informed the students that the library was closed and they would have to leave.
The students refused, instead reading a prepared statement. They planned to occupy the library until President Ferguson and other administrators met with them at 6:00 am to discuss their demands. If the administrators failed to show up, the students would remain in the library until they did.
A tense stand-off ensued. Around 3:00 am, the students received a notice from Ferguson instructing them to leave in fifteen minutes or be in violation of university regulations and state laws. If they stayed, they would be subject to sanction and arrest. The students held firm, leaving the university administrators struggling to find a solution.
By 6:00 am, it had become clear that the students had no intentions of leaving the library, and President Ferguson and the other administrators had no intentions of meeting with them. By that time, around forty-five police officers had also amassed outside the library. After about an hour, the administration sent in the police to forcibly remove the students.
Police officers, sometimes four at a time, pulled and dragged the protesting students out of the library and then packed them onto waiting buses. They were brought to police stations in Mansfield and Stafford Springs, where they were charged with criminal trespassing and other offenses.
The protesting students reported being physically and verbally abused by police. One student was even admitted to the infirmary because of his injuries.
Ferguson’s decision to call in the police provoked an immediate uproar on campus and throughout the state. Praise and condemnation for both the students and Ferguson came from many quarters.
A number of individuals and groups offered their support for the students.
An editorial in Contact, the newspaper produced by the Afro-American Cultural Center on campus, described Ferguson’s decision to send in the police “an act of monumental stupidity and arrogance.” A student group at Trinity College went further, calling it “savage racism.” A letter from the parents of one UConn student wondered if Ferguson had considered how his “rash and callous action” would hurt the students’ future prospects.
Most notably, a group of about seventy mostly white students and a few faculty members held an identical protest in the library the following evening. The solidarity protest was again broken up by university staff and local police.
Ferguson also received his fair share of support. One letter sent to the president’s office praised the “hard line” he had taken against the students. Another letter commended his “prompt and decisive action.”
Contact, a UConn Student Publication, May 1974
Although some of the supporting letters acknowledged that the students had a legitimate grievance, some reflected condescension or outright racism. One letter writer not only praised Ferguson’s decision to call in the police but offered his own assessment on the issue of an Afro-American Cultural Center: “I have been to Africa, and if what I saw there represents black culture, I think the world is just as well off without it.”
After intervention by local chapters of the ACLU and NAACP, among others, the president’s office helped get a nolle verdict for the arrested students. Instead, they faced internal discipline from the dean’s office.
April 24, 1974, issue of the Connecticut Daily Campus
The library sit-ins illustrate the dramatic changes underway at the University of Connecticut in the early 1970s. On the Storrs campus, students and staff strained under many of the same pressures felt throughout the United States at this time.
The letters in support of Ferguson’s actions signaled a growing backlash against radical protest, while the students’ actions highlighted the increased militancy of the movements for black and women’s liberation. The university, in short, had become one battleground in a wider conflict threatening to tear the nation asunder.

Note: Before running this tutorial, please install the spacy package, and its NLP modules for English language. In order to apply Integrated Gradients and many other interpretability algorithms on sentences, we need to create a reference aka baseline for the sentences and its constituent parts, tokens. Captum provides a helper class called TokenReferenceBase which allows us to generate a reference for each input text using the number of tokens in the text and a reference token index.
Since padding is one of the most commonly used references for tokens, padding index is passed as reference token index. Let's create an instance of LayerIntegratedGradients using forward function of our model and the embedding layer. This instance of layer integrated gradients will be used to interpret movie rating review. Note that we can also use IntegratedGradients class instead, however in that case we need to precompute the embeddings and wrap Embedding layer with InterpretableEmbeddingBase module.
In the cell below, we define a generic function that generates attributions for each movie rating and stores them in a list using VisualizationDataRecord class. This will ultimately be used for visualization purposes.
Below is an example of how we can visualize attributions for the text tokens. Feel free to visualize it differently if you choose to have a different visualization method. Tutorials Overview.

Image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation — all these tasks can be tackled by CNNs successfully. At first glance, it seems to be counterintuitive to use the same technique for a task as different as Natural Language Processing. This post is my attempt to explain the intuition behind this approach using the famous IMDb dataset. After reading this post, you will:.
The IMDb dataset for binary sentiment classification contains a set of 25, highly polar movie reviews for training and 25, for testing.
Luckily, it is a part of torchtext, so it is straightforward to load and pre-process it in PyTorch:. The data. Field class defines a datatype together with instructions for converting it to Tensor. In this case, we are using SpaCy tokenizer to segment text into individual tokens words. After that, we build a vocabulary so that we can convert our tokens into integer numbers later.
The vocabulary is constructed with all words present in our train dataset.

To learn more, read this article. Since we will be training our model in batches, we will also create data iterators that output a specific number of samples at a time:. BucketIterator is a module in torchtext that is specifically optimized to minimize the amount of padding needed while producing freshly shuffled batches for each new epoch. Convolutions are sliding window functions applied to a matrix that achieve specific results e.
The sliding window is called a kernel, filter, or feature detector. To get the full convolution, we do this for each element by sliding the filter over the entire matrix:. CNNs are just several layers of convolutions with activation functions like ReLU that make it possible to model non-linear relationships. By applying this set of dot products, we can extract relevant information from images, starting from edges on shallower levels to identifying the entire objects on deeper levels of neural networks.
Unlike traditional neural networks that simply flatten the input, CNNs can extract spatial relationships that are especially useful for image data.
pytorch imdb
But how about the text? Remember the word embeddings we discussed above? Images are just some points in space, just like the word vectors are.
In NLP, we typically use filters that slide over word embeddings — matrix rows. Therefore, filters usually have the same width as the length of the word embeddings. The height varies but is generally from 1 to 5, which corresponds to different n-grams. N-grams are just a bunch of subsequent words. By analyzing sequences, we can better understand the meaning of a sentence. In a way, by analyzing n-grams, we are capturing the spatial relationships in texts, which makes it easier for the model to understand the sentiment.

PyTorch in 5 Minutes
We are using IMDB movies review dataset. If it is stored in your machine in a txt file then we just load it in. We saw all the punctuation symbols predefined in python. To get rid of all these punctuation we will simply use. We have got all the strings in one huge string. Now we will separate out individual reviews and store them as individual list elements. In most of the NLP tasks, you will create an index mapping dictionary in such a way that your frequently occurring words are assigned lower indexes.
One of the most common way of doing this is to use Counter method from Collections library. In order to create a vocab to int mapping dictionary, you would simply do this. There is a small trick here, in this mapping index will start from 0 i.
But later on we are going to do padding for shorter reviews and conventional choice for padding is 0. So we need to start this indexing from 1. So far we have created a list of reviews and b index mapping dictionary using vocab from all our reviews. All this was to create an encoding of reviews replace words in our reviews by integers. Note: what we have created now is a list of lists.
Each individual review is a list of integer values and all of them are stored in one huge list. This is simple because we only have 2 output labels. To deal with both short and long reviews, we will pad or truncate all our reviews to a specific length. We define this length by Sequence Length.
This sequence length is same as number of time steps for LSTM layer. Output will look like this. Once we have got our data in nice shape, we will split it into training, validation and test sets. After creating our training, test and validation data. Next step is to create dataloaders for this data. We can use generator function for batching our data into batches instead we will use a TensorDataset.
This is one of a very useful utility in PyTorch for using our data with DataLoaders with exact same ease as of torchvision datasets. In order to obtain one batch of training data for visualization purpose we will create a data iterator. Here, 50 is the batch size and is the sequence length that we have defined. Now our data prep step is complete and next we will look at the LSTM network architecture for start building our model.
The layers are as follows:. Tokenize : This is not a layer for LSTM network but a mandatory step of converting our words into tokens integers. First, we will define a tokenize function that will take care of pre-processing steps and then we will create a predict function that will give us the final output after parsing the user provided review.

359 Extracted Words – The Tease – June 2018
June 2018
I write flash fiction, non-fiction, essays and novels. This month’s Tease is from a work in progress.
Drinking coffee, watching Chinatown through the window, seeing a man hand-shredding collected litter – a trolley brochure, a Starbucks napkin, an announcement for the opening of a new French restaurant, stained with urine from the sidewalk. He holds a two-piece lid from a mason jar, separating the components, cleaning them with his filthy shirt, placing them back together, then pulling them apart once more, spinning the lid to just the right position, putting them together again. He places the lid on the sidewalk, crouches over it and begins shredding the brochure. He lays pieces in order around the rim, layering, layering. Donald Trump Jr. and Ronaldo walk by, oblivious to his actions, his determination. He, in turn, ignores their presence. The pile is insufficient, incorrect. He neatly empties the shreds onto a paper plate, re-cleans the lid and rim and returns to shredding the brochure. The red trolley on the cover has now been stripped to just its foundational image of wood steps and tourists’ sandals.
Their look, his view.
He refills the cap, layering, layering. Donald Trump Jr and Neymar cross the walk, in the direct trajectory of an oncoming fire truck. Its horn complains, its sirens blare, lifting the pigeons across my eyes. When my gaze remembers the old man, he is no longer crouching, but standing, although still grossly bent. He empties his morning’s project into the garbage can while a woman on the opposite side of the receptacle digs for cigarette butts and the half ounce at the bottom of a Stella Artois bottle. Donald Trump Jr. and Brady nearly bump elbows as they enter the new French restaurant. They clean their smart phone screens, attach ear buds and proceed to shred. They shred 401K’s, markets, futures, dreams. The old man walks down the hill, toward a swamp with no water, leaving only his shadow. Donald Trump Jr. and Knight each leave a half glass of Pinot and a tip on plastic. Their shadow falls on the entire planet, which they piss on, then boldly charge commission for providing the gilded irrigation.
If shadows had a scent, the old man’s would smell like urine, and so would theirs.

The World Wide Web (www)
The wide web (www or simply the web) is a system of interlinked hypertext documents that run over the Internet. The WWW incorporates all of the Internet services above and much more. You can retrieve documents, view images, animation, and video, listen to sound files, speak and hear voice, and view programs that run on practically any software in the world, providing your computer has the hardware and software to do these things.
A Browser
A browser is a computer program that resides on your computer enabling you to use the computer to view WWW documents and access the Internet taking advantage of text formatting, hypertext links, images, sounds, motion, blogs, and other features, e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape.
The Internet
The Internet is a network of networks, linking computers to computers allowing access to information stored in the web. Each runs software to provide or "serve" information and/or to access and view information. The Internet is the transport vehicle for the information stored in files or documents on another computer. It can be compared to an international communications utility servicing computers.
Uniform Resource Locators (URLs)
URL is an acronym for Uniform Resource Locator and is a reference (an address) to a resource on the Internet. The internet name of the site containing the resource (document or data)
The resource name is the complete address to the resource. The format of the resource name depends entirely on the protocol used, but for many protocols, including HTTP, the resource name contains one or more of the components listed in the following table:
Protocol - is the service specifier, (here HTTP service) which specifies the access method. Specifically this is the part before the colon. Some examples of services are: http:, gopher:, wais: and ftp:.
Host Name - The name of the machine on which the resource lives.
File and resource details - The pathname to the file on the machine.
For many protocols, the host name and the filename are required, while the port number and reference are optional. For example, the resource name for an HTTP URL must specify a server on the network (Host Name) and the path to the document on that machine (Filename); it also can specify a port number and a reference.

AU - Dropulic, Boro AU - Orentas, Rimas J. PY - 2018 M3 - Original Research TI - A Unique Human Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable Domain-Only CD33 CAR for the Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia JO - Frontiers in Oncology UR - https://www.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fonc.2018.00539 VL - 8 SN - 2234-943X N2 - Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a challenging pediatric and adult disease. Given the elevated expression of the CD33 antigen on leukemic blasts, therapeutic approaches to AML now feature the approved antibody drug conjugate (Mylotarg, GO) and investigational CART cell approaches incorporating CD33-binding domains derived from humanized scFvs. We designed a functional chimeric antigen receptor utilizing a human targeting sequence, derived from a heavy chain variable domain, termed CAR33VH. Lentiviral-based expression vectors which encoded CAR constructs incorporating the novel binding domain (CAR33VH), or the My96 scFv control binder (My96CAR) in frame with a CD8 hinge and transmembrane domain, a 4-1BB costimulatory domain and a CD3 zeta activation domain, were transduced into primary human CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and CAR expression was confirmed by flow cytometry. CAR33VH, similar to My96CAR, demonstrated robust and specific cytotoxicity in short-term and long-term co-incubation killing assays against CD33+ AML lines. In overnight cytokine release assays in which CAR T cells were challenged with the CD33+ tumor cells HL-60, MOLM-14 and KG-1a, CAR33VH elicited IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and IL-2. This was seen with CD33+ cell lines, but not when CAR T were cultured alone. Studies with a CD33 cell line engineered to stably express the full length CD33 variant 1, or the naturally occurring CD33 splice variant 2, revealed that both CAR33VH and My96CAR, target the V domain of CD33, suggesting a similar therapeutic profile. Colony-formation assays utilizing peripheral blood CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells treated with CAR33VH, My96CAR, or with an untransduced T cell control, yielded similar numbers of BFU-E erythroid and CFU-GM myeloid colonies, suggesting a lack of CAR-related overt toxicity. In an in vivo AML model, NSG mice engrafted with MOLM-14 cells stably expressing firefly luciferase, both CAR33VH and CARMy96 efficiently eliminated tumors. In conclusion, we demonstrate for the first time the feasibility and efficacy of employing human variable domain-only binder derived from a phage display library in an anti-AML CAR design. CAR33VH, comprised of a human heavy-chain variable fragment-only antigen binding domain, was efficient in tumor killing in vitro and in vivo, and showed comparable functionality to the scFv-based My96CAR.

However, it remains unclear whether higher education implies similar fertility behaviour among women of different religious denominations at varying levels of religiosity. To assess whether this is the case, this study uses data from the British Household Panel Survey and the French Generations and Gender Survey to explore the intersection of religion (measured by religious practice, Catholic affiliation in France, and Protestantism and in Britain), education, and fertility outcomes for women born between the 1920s and 1960s. In Britain, higher education reduces the odds of entering motherhood more often among religiously unaffiliated women compared to nominally and practicing religious women, although no such interaction effect is found in France. However, religiosity in both countries attenuates the negative relationship between education and completed family size. While unaffiliated women have a negative educational gradient of fertility, this study finds a U-shaped relationship between education and completed fertility among practicing Catholic women. Moreover, differences in completed fertility by religious affiliation and practice are more pronounced among highly educated women. These findings are attributed to differences in the perceived value and costs of children across religious groups.} }

What Is It Called When A Potable Water Supply Is Connected With A Non-potable Water Supply?
What is it called when there is a physical connection between a potable water supply and non-potable water?
Cross connection —Any physical connection or arrangement between two otherwise separate piping systems (one of which contains potable water and the other which contains either water of unknown or questionable safety or steam, gas, or chemical) whereby there may be a flow from one system to the other, the direction of
What is non-potable water supply?
Non-potable water is water that is not of drinking quality, but may still be used for many other purposes, depending on its quality. Unless water is known to be of potable quality, for example from a drinking water supply system, it should be regarded as non-potable and used appropriately.
What causes a cross connection?
What is a cross connection? A cross connection occurs whenever a potable drinking water line is directly or indirectly connected to a nonpotable piece of equipment or piping.

What is non drinkable water called?
Greywater. Greywater is gotten from our everyday routines, such as showering and washing. This water is one of the most common types of non-potable water. Since it is not clean or treated, this makes it unfit for drinking. However, this type of water is not as contaminated as the wastewater that comes from the toilet.
What are two types of cross-connections?
There are two types of cross-connections – direct and indirect cross-connections. There are two types of backflow caused by these cross-connections – backsiphonage and backpressure backflow – and there are two types of backflow conditions – pollution (low hazard) or contamination (high hazard).
What is cross connection in food safety?
Let’s begin by defining “cross-connection.” A cross-connection is a point in a plumbing system where the potable supply may come in contact with a potential source of contamination. Cross-connections may result in backflow that causes the contaminants to enter the pure water supply under certain conditions.
Can you use non-potable water to wash dishes?
Non- potable refers to any water that has not been treated or tested, therefore determined unsafe to consume. Non- potable water should not be ingested due to the risk of contamination. Non-potable water should never be used to wash food or food ingredients.
Can you filter non-potable water?
If you don’t have safe bottled water and if boiling is not possible, you often can make small quantities of filtered and settled water safer to drink by using a chemical disinfectant such as unscented household chlorine bleach.

What causes non-potable water?
Non- potable water contains naturally occurring organic matter, such as algae and bacteria, which can sometimes lead to odors. This organic matter is recycled naturally, decomposing and adding nutrients to the water and bottom sediments.
What is an example of a cross connection?
Common examples of cross-connections include a garden hose submerged in a pesticide mixture, a piped connection providing potable feed water to an industrial process, such as a cooling tower, or a submerged outlet of an irrigation system. Connections to firefighting equipment are other very common cross-connections.
Why is a cross connection dangerous?
Besides detrimental health effects, cross connections can cause operational problems and additional costs that negatively affect all water system customers and drinking water consumers. A cross connection can allow corrosive materials like acids or carbon dioxide to enter a drinking water system.
What is cross connection in water?
A cross connection is any actual or potential connection between the drinking water lines and potential sources of pollution or contamination such as a piping arrangement or equipment that allows the drinking water to come in contact with non-potable liquids, solids, or gases hazardous to humans in the event of a
What is the pH of pure water?
What makes water drinkable?
Potable water, also known as drinking water, comes from surface and ground sources and is treated to levels that that meet state and federal standards for consumption. Water from natural sources is treated for microorganisms, bacteria, toxic chemicals, viruses and fecal matter.

Property Inheritance Laws in Dubai for Expatriates and Non-Muslims: What Do You Know About Inheritance Rights?
Differences in Property Inheritance Laws from the West and from the UAE and Their Relevance to Non-Muslims and Expatriates
If you have a significant asset to pass on to your heirs, like your home or company, you should be aware of the different inheritance laws. In this article, we will discuss these laws and how they apply to expatriates and non-Muslims living in Dubai.
Inheritance is a universal aspect of the aftermath of an individual’s death. A loved one’s death can cause many issues in families if there is no clear direction as to how the deceased belongings should be distributed. There are numerous cases in courts worldwide disputing the ownership of inherited belongings, especially where no official will is left behind that can clearly show the deceased person’s final wishes. It is essential for individuals living and working in foreign countries to understand the host country’s legal requirements and how they can affect you controlling your assets and finally bequeathing them to loved ones.
The differences in laws and culture can limit your ability to divide your belongings amongst those you care about.
Non-Muslim expatriates in Dubai, UAE
Expatriates make up a large percentage of the population of Dubai and the UAE. Expats are widely known to outnumber the actual Emiratis by about 80%. The number of these non-Muslim individuals continues to increase by the day. Because of the large number of non-Muslim expats, many invest in the country to purchase properties or hold their assets within the country. They mainly originate from home countries that are not majority Muslim and are in the western hemisphere.
For Non-muslim expats to survive in their new working and living environments, it is crucial to understand the cultural and social differences that affect the legal structure of the UAE and that of their home countries.
Differences between the West and the UAE
The Western countries and the UAE are the complete opposites of each other given that the latter is predominantly Islamic with a population of Arabs. At the same time, the former has a variety of religions and racial/ethnic groups. The differences in culture, social structure, and faith affect how the legal system is set up.
The UAE follows Sharia law while allowing for some level of interpretation from Islamic scholars and judges. Sharia law is a strict Islamic law that is considered sacred.
Conversely, the laws in western countries are based on theoretical concepts of governance, such as democracy. This is the first difference between the legal structures of the two. The UAE’s legal structure is based on religion and Islamic culture, while the western countries have legal systems based on the theories of governance and political ideologies.
The homogeneity of the Islamic society makes it easy to implement strict and specific rules that do not require much interpretation. Judges essentially exist to adjudicate on small matters while simply implementing the Sharia law to the fullest. Only the rarest of cases is likely to be given special treatment only when the conventional solutions are unsuitable.
On the other hand, Western countries’ diversity means that the laws have to be broad and generalized to consider all the possible outcomes. This means that judgments are made on a case-by-case status so that two judgments of the same case can be wildly different from each other. The courts have a much greater power to interpret and make judgments as they see fit.
Inheritance laws are the best illustration of the difference between the West and the UAE regarding their legal structures. Inheritance in Western countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom generally follows deceased persons’ wills as they are. For example, an individual can will their entire estate to a charitable cause even if they have some living relatives. In contrast, the inheritance laws in Dubai focus on the distribution of possessions among living relatives.
There is a strict method of conducting this process whereby every member of the family receives their inheritance based on a rigid scheme that accounts for their familial relationship with the deceased, gender, and family status. There is a focus on the Islamic traditions on how to redistribute a dead individual’s items.
How are these differences relevant to me as an expat?
These differences are significant to all expats, especially those who are non-Muslim. It is vital to know the differences in inheritance laws because of the strictness of the Sharia law used in the UAE. Understanding these differences ensures that expats are conscious that the UAE’s consequences can be very severe. The property inheritance laws in the West may not apply to you even as a Non-Muslim expat. Therefore, you must take the legal structure in the UAE very seriously regarding your final will and testament if you want it distributed according to your home country’s laws.
Property Inheritance Law in Dubai
The differences in social structure and culture affect the legal systems of countries. While it is clear that the UAE favors Sharia law, they are also recognizant that a large population is made up of expats. A few legal provisions are designed to help you remain in control of your assets even in death and determining one’s heirs.

Operator Overloading «Prev
Overloading binary operators
Generally speaking, you should overload symmetrical binary operators, such as
1. +,
2. *,
3. ==,
4. !=,
or && with friend functions. Both arguments are then passed as ordinary parameters. This subjects both arguments to the same rules of parameter passing.
Recall that using a member function to provide overloading for symmetrical binary operators causes the first argument to be passed via the this pointer.
Declarations for Friends
A friend declaration only specifies access. It is not a general declaration of the function. If we want users of the class to be able to call a friend function, then we must also declare the function separately from the friend declaration. To make a friend visible to users of the class, we usually declare each friend (outside the class) in the same header as the class itself. Thus, our Sales_data header should provide separate declarations (aside from the friend declarations inside the class body) for read, print, and add.
Many compilers do not enforce the rule that friend functions must be declared outside the class before they can be used.
Some compilers allow calls to a friend function when there is no ordinary declaration for that function. Even if your compiler allows such calls, it is a good idea to provide separate declarations for friends. That way you will not have to change your code if you use a compiler that enforces this rule.

PURPOSE: Facial palsy is a condition which can lead to significant changes in facial function and appearance. People with facial palsy often report psychosocial difficulties, including withdrawal from social activities, anxiety, negative body image, and low mood. This paper aimed to review all published research investigating the psychosocial impact of facial palsy on adults. METHODS: A systematic search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and AMED databases was performed. The quality of included studies was assessed, and data were extracted with regard to characteristics of participants; study methodology and design; outcome measures used; and psychosocial outcomes. RESULTS: Twenty-seven studies met inclusion criteria. A high proportion of people with facial palsy reported clinically significant levels of anxiety and depression, with greater difficulties typically reported by females, compared to males. Other difficulties consistently reported include low quality of life, poor social function, and high levels of appearance-related distress. Objective severity of facial palsy was consistently shown to not be associated with anxiety or depression, with psychological factors instead likely mediating the relationship between the severity of facial palsy and psychosocial well-being. CONCLUSIONS: Irrespective of objective symptom severity, facial palsy has the potential to have a significant impact on psychosocial well-being and quality of life. The various methodological limitations of the included studies are discussed, along with clinical implications, including the need for greater access to psychological screening and interventions for people with facial palsy.

TY - GEN N1 - 24 cm N2 - In the light of a growing demand for energy, the government of India has decided to tap into the potential of rivers by building numerous hydroelectric plants, with a view to doubling the amount of energy produced by water. One of the regions in which such plants are being built is the basin of the River Teesta (as a right-bank tributary of the Brahmaputra). The main aim of this article has been to present chemical-composition characteristics and physico-chemical parameters of water in the Teesta in its Himalayan course, with account being taken of the role the newly-built reservoir plays in shaping the chemistry of water in the river. Fieldwork entailed measurement of physico-chemical parameters of the water, as well as sampling for the purposes of chemical analysis. This was done in the post-monsoon period in the years 2013-2015. Sampling and measuring points were located along the Teesta in the Darjeeling Himalaya, over a length of approximately 43 km, between the borders of Sikkim and West Bengal and the southern margin of the Himalayas. Above the newly-built reservoir, measurements were made at points P1 and P2; while within it, measurements were made and samplings taken in the centre (at P3 by the shore). The two points located below the dam were P4 and P5. The results of the analysis of main physico-chemical properties and chemical compositio data for the water in the Teesta allowed conclusions as detailed in the following points to be drawn. The decrease in water temperature caused by the reservoir is slight, at approximately 1.0°C, with the indication being that very weak thermal stratification has developed, due to the rapid exchange of water in the reservoir. As for Total Dissolved Solids, marked stability of values across a narrow range is to be observed. The values for ANC in turn indicate that there is no risk of acidification at any point along the section examined. The newly-built reservoir is responsible for a decrease in concentrations of most of the main ions (i.e. Cl– , K+, Na+, Mg2, NO3 and PO4 3–). The reverse trend was only to be observed in respect of Ca2+, SO4 2– and NH4 +. The dam does not influence F– concentrations. The reservoir causes minor enrichment of water in ions of most metals like Cu, Ni, Zn, Cr, C and Sr. The more limited enrichment of water in the Teesta below the dam indicates self-purification processes taken place in the Teesta Reservoir where metals are concerned. The changes in physico-chemical properties and concentrations of ions caused by the reservoir are usually normalised by environmental factors before the Teesta exits the Himalayas (i.e. within 15 km of the reservoir). The results of the study are relevant, in light of the construction of several further reservoirs in the Teesta catchment in the near future, which can lead to significant transformations of the natural environment, including hydrochemical changes that determine water quality.

Often asked: What Is An Object Java?
What is a class and object in Java?
Java Classes / Objects Java is an object -oriented programming language. For example: in real life, a car is an object. The car has attributes, such as weight and color, and methods, such as drive and brake. A Class is like an object constructor, or a “blueprint” for creating objects.
What is an object in OOP?
What does an object () do?
The object() function returns an empty object. You cannot add new properties or methods to this object. This object is the base for all classes, it holds the built-in properties and methods which are default for all classes.
What is object and example?

What is a class and object?
Object is an instance of a class. Class is a blueprint or template from which objects are created. 2) Object is a real world entity such as pen, laptop, mobile, bed, keyboard, mouse, chair etc. Class is a group of similar objects.
What are objects?
Definition: An object is a software bundle of variables and related methods. You can represent real-world objects using software objects. Everything that the software object knows (state) and can do (behavior) is expressed by the variables and methods within that object.
What are the 4 basics of OOP?
They are an abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
What is the benefit of OOP?
Benefits of OOP OOP language allows to break the program into the bit-sized problems that can be solved easily (one object at a time). The new technology promises greater programmer productivity, better quality of software and lesser maintenance cost. OOP systems can be easily upgraded from small to large systems.
Why object is used in Java?
When you do work in Java, you use objects to get the job done. You create objects, modify them, move them around, change their variables, call their methods, and combine them with other objects. Creating objects. Testing and modifying class and instance variables in those objects.
What is object in real world?
Real world objects include things like your car, TV etc. These objects share two characteristics: they all have state and they all have behavior. block is the object, an entity that has its own data (variables) and its own methods for manipulating that data and interacting with other objects.

What are objects give five examples?
Objects are identifiable entities that have a set of attributes, behaviour and state. Five examples of objects are car, pen, mobile, email, bank account.
Why do we need objects?
There are four major benefits to object -oriented programming: Encapsulation: in OOP, you bundle code into a single unit where you can determine the scope of each piece of data. Abstraction: by using classes, you are able to generalize your object types, simplifying your program.
Who is subject and object?
What is object of sentence?
The object of a sentence is the person or thing that receives the action of the verb. It is the who or what that the subject does something to. In this sentence: ‘Terry’ is the subject: it is the one performing the action and the one the sentence is about.

Numerical Methods
LUP decomposition
The stability of LU decomposition is improved if pivoting is used to maximize the absolute values of the diagonal elements of the upper triangular matrix $U$. The function LUP_decomp(A) performs LU-decomposition with partial pivoting. It is the same as the function LU_matrix(A) except a pivoting section has been added. It returns an object consisting of the LU matrix, the permutation matrix, and the number of row exchanges made during partial pivoting.
It is clear that with the strategy of partial pivoting we avoid the problem caused by the presence of a zero element on the diagonal of $U$. The only exception occurs if during the calculation all the $U_{ij},\quad i=j,\ldots,n$ are simultaneously zero. In that case the matrix of coefficients is singular and the system of equations cannot be solved with this method.
Matrix inversion
The inverse of matrix A is defined by the equation,
\begin{equation} A \cdot A^{-1} = I, \end{equation}
where $I$ is the identity matrix. The column vectors of $A^{-1}$ can be found by solving $A\cdot\vec{x}=\vec{b}$ where $\vec{b}$ is the corresponding column vector of the identity matrix. We use LUP-decomposition to find the permutation matrix $P$ and the upper and lower triangular matricies $L$ and $U$ such that $P\cdot A= L\cdot U$. Then we can call LU_solve($LU$,$P\cdot I$) to find $A^{-1}$.
function inverse(A) { // returns the inverse of a square matrix
LUP = LUP_decomp(A);
Pb = dot(LUP.P,identity(A.length));
Ainv = LU_solve(LUP.LU,Pb);
return Ainv;
Calculation of the determinant of a matrix
The determinant of the product of two matrices is the product of their determinants. After LUP-decomposition we have, $\text{det}(P)\text{det}(A)=\text{det}(L)\text{det}(U)$. The determinant of the permutation matrix $P$ is $-1^n$ where $n$ is the number of row exchanges made during partial pivoting. The determinant of an upper or lower triangular matrix is the product of its diagonal elements: $\text{det}(L)=1$, $\text{det}(U)=\prod\limits_{i=1}^NU_{ii}$. The following code will calculate the determinant.
function det(A) { //returns the determinant of square matrix A
LUP = LUP_decomp(A);
D = 1;
for (i=0; i < A.length; i++) {//product the diagonal elements of the LU matrix
D = D*LUP.LU[i][i];
D = D*LUP.sgn;
return D;
This app performs LU decomposition of a square matrix with or without partial pivoting. It can solve a set of linear inhomogeneous equations, perform matrix multiplication, and find the determinant, transpose, or inverse of a matrix.

During anaphase identical sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the mitotic spindle. In the spindle, kinetochore microtubules have their plus ends embedded in the kinetochore and their minus ends at the spindle pole. Two models have been proposed to account for the movement of chromatids during anaphase. In the 'Pac-Man' model, kinetochores induce the depolymerization of kinetochore microtubules at their plus ends, which allows chromatids to move towards the pole by 'chewing up' microtubule tracks. In the 'poleward flux' model, kinetochores anchor kinetochore microtubules and chromatids are pulled towards the poles through the depolymerization of kinetochore microtubules at the minus ends. Here, we show that two functionally distinct microtubule-destabilizing KinI kinesin enzymes (so named because they possess a kinesin-like ATPase domain positioned internally within the polypeptide) are responsible for normal chromatid-to-pole motion in Drosophila. One of them, KLP59C, is required to depolymerize kinetochore microtubules at their kinetochore-associated plus ends, thereby contributing to chromatid motility through a Pac-Man-based mechanism. The other, KLP10A, is required to depolymerize microtubules at their pole-associated minus ends, thereby moving chromatids by means of poleward flux.

9.21 Determining Percentage Records
To compute:
(a) Percentage of games won and lost, divide the number of games won by the sum of games won and games lost;
(b) Batting average, divide the total number of safe hits (not the total bases on hits) by the total times at bat, as defined in Rule 9.02(a) (Rule 10.02(a));
(c) Slugging percentage, divide the total bases of all safe hits by the total times at bat, as defined in Rule 9.02(a) (Rule 10.02(a));
(d) Fielding average, divide the sum of putouts and assists by the sum of putouts, assists and errors (which shall be called chances);
(e) Pitcher’s earned-run average, multiply the total earned runs charged against such pitcher by 9, and divide the result by the total number of innings he pitched, including fractions of an inning; and
Rule 9.21(e) Comment: For example, 9 1⁄3 innings pitched and 3 earned runs is an earned-run average of 2.89 (3 earned runs times 9 divided by 9 1⁄3 equals 2.89).
Rule 9.21(f) Comment: For the purpose of computing on-base percentage, ignore instances of a batter being awarded first base on interference or obstruction.

Osmotic Pressure
Related to Osmotic Pressure: osmotic potential
osmotic pressure
[äz′mäd·ik ′presh·ər]
(physical chemistry)
The applied pressure required to prevent the flow of a solvent across a membrane which offers no obstruction to passage of the solvent, but does not allow passage of the solute, and which separates a solution from the pure solvent.
The applied pressure required to prevent passage of a solvent across a membrane which separates solutions of different concentration, and which allows passage of the solute, but may also allow limited passage of the solvent. Also known as osmotic gradient.
Osmotic Pressure
the force that tends to reduce the concentration of a solution that is in contact with a pure solvent by the reciprocal diffusion of molecules in the solute and solvent. If the solution is separated from the pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane, diffusion is possible in only one direction: the solvent is osmotically drawn across the membrane into the solution. In this case the osmotic pressure may be measured directly as the excess pressure that exists on the side of the solution at osmotic equilibrium.
Osmotic pressure results from a reduction in the chemical potential of a solvent in the presence of a solute. The tendency of a system to have equal chemical potentials over its entire volume and to reach a state of lowest free energy gives rise to the osmotic diffusion of matter. In ideal and dilute solutions, the osmotic pressure is independent of the nature of the solvent and solutes. At constant temperature it is determined only by the number of kinetically active particles—ions, molecules, associated species, and colloidal particles—in a unit volume of the solution.
The first measurements of osmotic pressure were made in 1877 by W. Pfeffer, who studied aqueous solutions of cane sugar. In 1887 his data were used by J. H. van’t Hoff to establish the dependence of osmotic pressure on the concentration of the solute; van’t Hoff’s expression for this dependence is identical in form to the Boyle-Mariotte law for ideal gases. The osmotic pressure (π) was found to be equal to the pressure that would be imparted by the solute, if, at a given temperature, the solute were an ideal gas and occupied a volume equal to that of the solution. For very dilute solutions of nondissociating compounds, osmotic pressure is described with sufficient accuracy by the equation πV = nRT, where n is the number of moles of solute, V is the volume of the solution, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature. When the solute dissociates into ions, a factor i—the van’t Hoff coefficient—is introduced into the right-hand side of the equation; i is greater than 1 with dissociation and less than 1 with association of the solute. The osmotic pressure of a real solution (π ) always exceeds that of an ideal solution (π″), and the ration π′/π″, which is called the osmotic coefficient g, increases with increasing concentration.
Solutions with the same osmotic pressure are called isotonic, or isosmotic, solutions. Various blood substitutes and physiological solutions are isotonic relative to the internal fluids of organisms. A solution with a higher osmotic pressure relative to another solution is hypertonic, while a solution with a lower osmotic pressure is hypotonic.
Osmotic pressure is measured with an osmometer. A distinction is made between static and dynamic methods of measurement. By the static method, the excess hydrostatic pressure is represented by the height H that a column of liquid in an osmometer tube reaches at osmotic equilibrium with the equal external pressures pA and pB acting on chambers A and B (Figure 1). The dynamic method entails measurement of v—the rates of ascent and descent of the solvent within the osmotic cell—at several values of excess pressure Δ p, which is the difference PApB; subsequently the results are extrapolated to v = 0 at Δp = π.
Figure 1. Schematic diagram of an osmometer: (A) solution chamber; (6) solvent chamber; (M) semipermeable membrane; (pA) and (pB) external pressure on chambers A and B, respectively. At osmotic equilibrium, H is the height of the columns of liquid that counterbalances the osmotic pressure when PA = pb; when pApB, that is, when π = pApB, the height is b.
Many osmometers are able to measure by both methods. One of the major difficulties in the measurement of osmotic pressure is the selection of a semipermeable membrane. Porous ceramic or glass partitions or films made of cellophane or of natural or synthetic polymers are usually used. Osmometry is the study of the techniques used in measuring osmotic pressure.
Osmometry is used primarily to determine the molecular weight (M) of polymers. M is calculated using the formula
where c is the concentration of the polymer by weight, and A is a coefficient that depends on the structure of the macromolecule.
Osmotic pressure can reach considerable values. For example, a 4 percent solution of sugar at room temperature has an osmotic pressure of about 0.3 meganewtons per square meter (MN/m2); a 53 percent solution, about 10 MN/m2. The osmotic pressure of sea water is about 0.27 MN/m2.
The osmotic pressure in biological fluids and in the cells of animals, plants, and microorganisms depends on the concentration of solutes in the liquid mediums. The salt composition of biological fluids and cells—which is characteristic for each type of organism—is maintained by active transport of ions and by the selective permeability of biological membranes to various salts. Osmotic pressure is kept at a relatively constant level by water-salt metabolism, that is, by the uptake, distribution, use, and elimination of water and salts. Internal osmotic pressure is greater than external osmotic pressure in hyperosmotic organisms, while the reverse is true of hypoosmotic organisms; the internal and external osmotic pressures of poikilosmotic organisms are equal.
Ions are actively absorbed and retained by hyperosmotic organisms, while water passively crosses the biological membranes according to the osmotic gradient. Hyperosmotic regulation is characteristic of all plants, freshwater organisms, and marine chondrichthians, including sharks and members of the suborder Batoidei. Organisms with hypoosmotic regulation are adapted to actively eliminate salts. Teleosts eliminate the most common marine ions—sodium and chlorine—through gills, while birds and marine reptiles—such as marine snakes and turtles—eliminate these ions through salt glands that are located in the head region. In these organisms, magnesium, sulfate, and phosphate ions are eliminated through the kidneys.
Osmotic pressure in hyperosmotic and hypoosmotic organisms may be created either by ions that are predominant in the environment or by products of metabolism. For example, in sharks and members of the suborder Batoidei, 60 percent of the osmotic pressure is maintained by urea and trimethylammonia; in blood plasma of mammals, mainly by sodium and chlorine ions; and in insect larvae, by various low-molecular-weight metabolites. In poikilosmotic organisms, including unicellular marine organisms, echinoderms, cephalopods, and members of the subclass Myxini, the osmotic pressure is determined by and is equal to the osmotic pressure of the environment; other than certain intracellular processes, osmoregulatory mechanisms do not exist in these animals.
The range of mean osmotic pressures in the cells of organisms that are incapable of osmotic homeostasis is rather broad and depends on the type and age of the organism, the type of cells, and the osmotic pressure of the environment. Under optimal conditions, the osmotic pressure in the cytoplasm of cells of surface organs varies from 2 to 16 atmospheres (atm) in swamp plants and from 8 to 40 atm in plains plants. The osmotic pressure in a plant may differ sharply from cell to cell. For example, in mangroves the osmotic pressure in the cytoplasm is about 60 atm, while in the xylem channels it does not exceed 1–2 atm.
Among homoiosmotic organisms, which are capable of maintaining a relatively constant osmotic pressure, the average value and range of osmotic pressures differ, for example, from 3.6 to 4.8 atm in earthworms, from 6.0 to 6.6 atm in freshwater fish, from 7.8 to 8.5 atm in marine teleosts, from 22.3 to 23.2 atm in elasmobranchs, and from 6.6 to 8.0 atm in mammals.
Except for such glandular fluids as saliva, sweat, and urine, the osmotic pressure of most mammalian bodily fluids is equal to that of the blood. In animal cells, the osmotic pressure that is contributed by high-molecular-weight compounds, including proteins and polysaccharides, is insignificant, although these substances are metabolically important in that they create the oncotic pressure.

Why Do You Need A Dental Crown After A Root Canal?
Posted on
Getting a dental crown is often a part of getting a root canal. If you've never had a root canal and are wondering why this might be and if there's a way you can avoid getting a crown, then read this guide to find out why dental crowns are utilized and how they can potentially help your tooth.
What a Root Canal Does
It's important to understand exactly how a root canal works in order to understand why you might need a dental crown.
Root canals are procedures that are like a more intense version of having a tooth drilled. Instead of removing a little bit of the outer shell of a tooth, the procedure instead removes a great deal of the tooth, going down deep into the pulp and interior layers.
This is essentially what makes a root canal a root canal. The removal of these interior tissues is necessary because that part of the tooth has become damaged by a severe cavity or another type of tooth problem. While root canals are painless and safe, they can leave a tooth structurally weak.
How a Crown Is Used
When a crown is used for a root canal, it's typically because the tooth is too weak to stand up on its own. If you were to apply a great deal of force to the tooth, like by chewing on it, you might potentially fracture the tooth or damage the filling that will be placed inside of it.
A dental crown helps by covering up the tooth entirely. This ensures that no damage will be done to the dental work that you just received during your root canal. However, it also means that your tooth will be protected so that you can fully chew and bite down on the surface of the crown without potentially damaging the tooth. The crown will take the brunt of the force, leaving your tooth safe and intact.
Dental crowns are a valuable tool for a whole bunch of different dental procedures, including drilling teeth and covering broken or cracked teeth. If you've never had a dental crown put on before, there's nothing for you to worry about. Dental crowns require a painless procedure that typically just involves using dental cement to seal the tooth off and to keep the crown on. Keep in mind, though, that you may come back to the dentist's office a second time, as you will likely be given a temporary crown first, and then a permanent one that's custom-fit for your tooth will be put on after it's arrived and is ready.

Why is separation of powers important in South Africa
separation of powers. In fact, it is what separation of powers is about. The 1996 Constitution which is the foundation of separation of powers in South Africa state that the President of the Republic is elected by the National Assembly from among its members at its first sitting after an election (RSA, 1996; O'Regan, 2005:125) The reason for this division of state authority is that the Doctrine of the Separation of Powers argues that there can be no political freedom in a country where one and the same person or body of persons makes, the laws, implements them, and acts as the judge when they are contravened
The separation of powers is important because it provides a vital system of 'checks and balances': Firstly, it ensures that the different branches control each other. This is intended to make them accountable to each other - these are the 'checks'. Secondly, it divides power between the different branches of government economic importance of separation of powers in government No doubt, this is one of the importance of separation of powers in US, Nigeria, Malaysia, Kenya, Australia Zimbabwe Zambia, South africa, India and even Ghana. All these countries have been able to prevent arbitrary use of powers through the concept of Separation of powers. 3
Why a Separation of Powers is Important. Montesquieu the French jurist, who lived in England from 1729 until 1731, has developed the doctrine of separation of powers. He based his exposition on the English constitution of the early eighteenth century as he understood it. He followed attempts by Aristotle and Locks in dividing the power of. Separation of powers in democracy is important because it prevents people from abusing power. Separation of powers also serves as a safeguard to protect freedom for everyone. The separation of power is a system that is divided into three different branches: legislative, executive and judicial. The tasks of the state are given to different. The separation of powers is a constitutional principle introduced to ensure that the three major institutions of the state namely; the legislative, the executive and the judiciary are not concentrated in any single body whether in functions, personnel or powers. Legislative is a law-making body, Executive puts law into operation and Judiciary. The doctrine of the separation of powers holds that there are three arms of state: the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. Each has — as laid out in the Constitution — different.
the judiciary in South Africa is set out under Section 165 of the Constitution, aside from looking at the importance of Section 165, this essay will also look at the relationship between judicial independence, the doctrine of separation of powers and the importance of the rule of law Separation of powers means that specific functions, duties and responsibilities are allocated to distinctive institutions with defined areas of competence and 1 Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act 200 of 1993 ('Interim Constitution' or 'IC'). 2 Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 ('Final Constitution' or 'FC') During the period 1910-1993, the South African government was marked predominately by the dominance of a fused executive and legislature in a parliamentary system of government. This constitutional arrangement inhibited the separation of powers between the legislature, the executive and the judiciary For Montesquieu, the separation of powers doctrine was foundational to any constitution that sought to prevent the abuse of power and advance personal freedom: ' [There is no] liberty if the power of judging is not separate from legislative power and from executive powers.

His publication, Spirit of the Laws, is considered one of the great works in the history of political theory and jurisprudence and under his model, the political authority of the state is. Because South Africa is a democratic nation, its constitution is required to make certain that the civil rights of all are considered and upheld, at that no one is above the constitution. Our constitution; however, does not completely ensures that democracy and human rights exist all, in equal measure, in South Africa Separation of powers is a model that divides the government into separate branches, each of which has separate and independent powers. By having multiple branches of government, this system helps to ensure that no one branch is more powerful than another. Typically, this system divides the government into three branches: the Legislative Branch. tries, the separation of powers is invoked as an ideal, that is as a standard (or, perhaps, set of standards) to which the legal and constitutional arrangements of a modern state ought to conform. The assumption is that the separation of powers is an ideal worth having and that we gain something valuable by conforming to it. Indeed, this assump Nevertheless, the South African cases illustrate that courts, acting cautiously, can enforce such rights without destroying separation of powers or taxing judicial competency. Once these false concerns are eliminated, the more foundational issues about interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment, and perhaps the Ninth Amendment, can be addressed.

Principle of the Separation of Power
Separation of Powers. The division of state and federal government into three independent branches. The first three articles of the U.S. Constitution call for the powers of the federal government to be divided among three separate branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary branch Overview. Separation of powers is a doctrine of constitutional law under which the three branches of government (executive, legislative, and judicial) are kept separate.This is also known as the system of checks and balances, because each branch is given certain powers so as to check and balance the other branches.. Each branch has separate powers, and generally each branch is not allowed to. The Separation of Powers in the Constitution divides the institutions of government into three groups. These are the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary. The legislature is better known as the Parliament, which debates and makes laws. The Executive Government, which we usually refer to as 'the government', recommends new laws and.
Disaster vs separation of powers - The Mail & Guardia
The doctrine of the separation of powers divides the institutions of government into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial: the legislature makes the laws; the executive puts the laws into operation; and the judiciary interprets the laws. The powers and functions of each are separate and carried out by separate personnel Having a separation of powers only redoubles the time it take to resolve issues that are needed to be solved urgently. For example: with three branches withholding almost all power of decisive means for the American people; passing important laws, bills, and making decisions that involve new changes for the people are reviewed over extensively and over-excessively, leading to an unneeded delay. Constitutionalism is the idea, often associated with the political theories of John Locke and the founders of the American republic, that government can and should be legally limited in its powers, and that its authority or legitimacy depends on its observing these limitations. This idea brings with it a host of vexing questions of interest not.

South Africa is a multi-lingual society that has some unique linguistic problems because of its policy of apartheid. On one level, there are tensions between its two official language groups, Afrikaans and English. On another level, there are linguistic tensions between the ethnic Europeans and the black majority, mostly in regard to language instruction in schools Egypt, South Africa and Nigeria are the top most powerful countries in Africa, according to US News and World Report's 2019 power ranking.

In ideal circumstances, both parties are happy with the contents of these agreements, but this is not always the case. One of our most recent clients was lucky in this. including many in Africa.

2. South Africa both exemplies these processes, as well as providing some interesting counterexamples. Indeed apartheid could be seen as form of decen-tralisation intended to reduce government's accountability to the majority. This was why many of the anti-apartheid movements tended to be strongly central-ist in orientation (McCarthy 1992)
3. It is difficult to drum up widespread, grassroots political support for the rule of law. In the eyes of many people, the rule of law does not put food on the table. Worse still, the law can be a source of oppression. Governments and law-enforcement officials can and do commit crimes. The role of law in our Apartheid history is an awful example

6. The Partition of Africa began in earnest with the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, and was the cause of most of Africa's borders today. This conference was called by German Chancellor Bismarck to settle how European countries would claim colonial land in Africa and to avoid a war among European nations over African territory.

A steady stream of apartheid regulations were passed through 1970. Apartheid ended in 1990 when FW de Klerk became president and stated his intention to dismantle the apartheid system The doctrine of separation of power in its true sense is very rigid and this is one of the reasons why it is not accepted by a large number of countries in the world.

Quantum destabilization of a water sandwich
19 September, 2019
When a thin layer of water is squeezed between two hydrophobic surfaces, the laws of classical physics break down.
From raindrops rolling off the waxy surface of a waterlily leaf, to the efficiency of desalination membranes, interactions between water molecules and water-repellent "hydrophobic" surfaces are all around us. The interplay becomes even more intriguing when a thin water layer becomes sandwiched between two hydrophobic surfaces, KAUST researchers have shown.
In the early 1980s, researchers first noted an unexpected effect when two hydrophobic surfaces were slowly brought together in water. “At some point, the two surfaces would suddenly jump into contact—like two magnets being brought together,” says Himanshu Mishra from KAUST's Water Desalination and Reuse Center. Mishra’s lab investigates water at all length scales, from reducing water consumption in agriculture, to the properties of individual water molecules.
Researchers were unable to explain the phenomenon at the molecular level, so in 2016, Mishra organized a KAUST conference on the subject. “We brought together leaders in the field—experimentalists and theorists—leading to intense debates on the understanding of hydrophobic surface forces,” he says.
Inspired by the conference, Mishra came up with the idea of comparing ordinary water with "heavy water," in which the hydrogen atoms are replaced by a heavier hydrogen isotope called deuterium.

Important Terms and Definitions to Know in Immigration Law
The immigration sector of law is ever-changing. As decades and even centuries of immigration have gone by, laws have changed and legislation has brought new laws into the picture while others have been overridden. With so many new reforms coming into the picture, more immigration terms and phrases make their way as well.
For the most part, people are familiar with terms such as “green card” or visa, naturalization, adjustment of status, and several others. But there are many other terms that might not be used as often but are still very important to know considering they can be used in any case at any time. We run through a quick list of terms that are often misleading or misused that way you can better understand the context they are used in.
Amnesty (Legalization)
The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 was often referred to as an “amnesty,” considering it included more conditions and longer time periods depending on an immigrant’s status. Amnesty is an older term for legalization, which is why it may cause confusion in different cases. There has been some debate regarding which term is the appropriate term, as each one may pose negative connotations to either the supporters or opponents of the act.
Deportation (Expulsion) vs. Extradition
These two terms are known for being used interchangeably, but they do not mean the same things. Extradition is used when a criminal suspect held by one government is relocated to another government to go to trial. If a suspect has already been tried and found guilty, that is when they are deported; this is also known as the process of expulsion. With that being said, extradition and expulsion are two different terms.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vs. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
Both organizations play a critical role in immigration law and in the modern-day activity of immigration, but they both have different responsibilities. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is an agency that conducts enforcement and removal operations regarding immigration violations. These officials also investigate crimes that involve the crossing of the U.S. border.
Customs and Border Protection oversees and protects the border and ports of entry. This agency is also charged with regulating trade and commerce operations across U.S. borders.
“Merit-Based” Immigration
This term is used in various immigration systems that select immigrants for permanent residence based on the overall characteristics, as opposed to other ties such as familial relationships. This term includes a form of a point system, allocating points to a prospective permanent resident based on their age, language skills, and education. Those who meet desired specifications may apply to immigrate and reside in the United States legally.
Asylum Seeker and Refugee
An asylum seeker is what an individual is called before they become a refugee if they are accepted into the United States for asylum. Asylum seekers are individuals who come to the United States for protection due to fear of persecution in their home country on account of race, religion, nationality, and other factors. Once an individual is accepted, they become an asylee.
Once an individual is residing in the United States to be protected from their home country they become a refugee. The United States accepts a designated number of refugees every year.
Temporary Protected Status
This status can be granted to individuals who are from a country that is no longer deemed safe to return to due to conditions such as military conflict, natural disaster, and other scenarios. This does not provide a direct path to a green card but it also does not prohibit individuals from applying for permanent residency.
Unaccompanied Migrant Children
Children who have illegally crossed the United States border without an accompanying adult are considered unaccompanied migrant children. In recent years, studies and trends show that unaccompanied children are crossing more than they ever have. If they are apprehended, they are transferred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement with the Department of Health and Human Services.
Quota System
A quota system is that which limits the number of immigrants that may enter the United States every year. These limits are based on nationality or where immigrants are coming from.

The Canadian CPI, also known as inflation, is a key consumer indicator. It measures the change in the price of goods and services charged to consumers. A reading that is higher than the market forecast is bullish for the Canadian dollar.
Here are all the details, and 5 possible outcomes for USD/CAD.
Published on Friday at 12:30 GMT.
Indicator Background
Core CPI differs from the CPI release in that excludes eight volatile components such as food and energy prices. The index is important to currency traders, as the Bank of Canada may step in and adjust interest rates if inflation targets are not being met. A change in interest rates, in turn, will affect the strength of the Canadian dollar.
Core CPI climbed a modest 0.2% in June. The index has stayed in positive territory since January. but the forecast for the July reading calls for a decline of 0.1%. Will the index remain in positive territory this month?
Sentiments and levels
Canada’s economy continues to be relatively strong, and the loonie held its own despite the troubles in Europe. With oil remaining stable and even moving higher, the Canadian dollar could make inroads against its US counterpart. Thus, the overall sentiment is bearish on USD/CAD towards this release.
Technical levels, from top to bottom: 1.0245, 1.02, 1.0150, 1.0030, 1 and 0.9950.
5 Scenarios
1. Within expectations: -0.4% to 0.2%: In this scenario, USD/CAD could show some slight fluctuation, but it is likely to remain within range, without breaking any levels.
2. Above expectations: 0.3% to 0.6%: A reading above expectations could push the pair below one support level.
3. Well above expectations: Above 0.6%: An unexpectedly sharp rise in inflation could push USD/CAD downwards, breaking two or more levels of support.
4. Below expectations: -0.8% to -0.5%: A weak release could push USD/CAD upwards, with one resistance level at risk.
5. Well below expectations: Below -0.8%: A reading deep in negative territory would likely hurt the loonie, and the pair could break two or more resistance levels.
For more on the Canadian dollar, see the USD/CAD forecast.

What you can use to collect environmental data
4. Recording through a sensor
Some environmental changes can occur very slowly over very long time periods, such as changes in groundwater levels, some others occur very rapidly over short periods, such as pollution being washed into a river after a rainstorm, or at times when it is difficult for an observer to be there such as in the middle of the night. With these situations using a sensor to record changes is a useful technique. Sensors can be used for a range of environmental changes, for example to detect changes in air or water quality, changes in water levels and the presence of wildlife that trigger a sensor as they walk past. Sensors can be set to regularly record data such as every hour or they can be set to record something only when they are triggered to do so. Data from a sensor is often presented in a table or a graph.
Steps to follow:
1. Install measuring equipment
2. Install a sensor
3. Download the data onto a computer
4. View the results and produce a graph or table of data

7 Steps to Writing a Project Resource Management Plan
A project resource management plan is an important component of the overall project plan. It identifies the availability of resources and their utilization. It gives a direction to use resources cost-effectively and efficiently. A good project resource management plan ensures that all the required resources are available in an adequate amount, and so, the project is in safe hands.
There are different kinds of project resources, such as labor, materials, and equipment. A project resource management plan comes as a comprehensive guide to encompass each of these available resources and to make the most out of them in the right way at the right time. It decelerates the project risks. To make your project resource management plan word, you first need to write down an effective project resource management plan.
Here is the step-by-step guide to come up with a great resource management plan.
1. Conduct a Team Meeting
The very first, to start writing resource management, is to hold a few meetings in and out. Make sure only the concerned people participate in the meeting. This ensures that the active and relevant minds are working on the development of your resource management plan.
Choose the Right People
Choosing the right people takes into account different factors. However, the most important ones include relevant skills and education. The one who has a deep insight into project management must be well aware of resource management processes. The one with experience can help in finding the right and best resources for your project.
Why Should We Hire You? 5 Best Answers
Once you have the right people on the table, you are good to start with a thorough examination of your project activities.
Look into your Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Allocation and use of resources require a proper understanding of the project activities when you do not know what is going to take plan when and how you possibly cannot set aside the relevant resources.
Activities of your project can be well-understood by looking into your Work Breakdown Structure. Every project has a WBS, which is basically a list of your project activities. The activities are mentioned as the project has to follow. This gives a good idea of which resource is more or less significant.
Schedule the Activities
As you look into your project activities, it is best to arrange them in a timeline right at this step if they are not already arranged. If they are, you have saved a lot of your time. Scheduling helps create a smooth resource management plan.
2. Know the Resources You Require
Now that you know the activities and tasks included in your project along with their level of prioritization, you need to find out all the resources you require.
Extract from the Activities
The best way to know the resources you require is by extracting them from the activities. Create a resource list in your resource management plan. Mention all the activities and against each activity, list the required resources. It includes all the types of resources you will and might require, such as people, materials, equipment, assets, etc.
Understand the Use
Before the comprehensive categorization of your resources by the activities, you must understand the use and effectiveness of each resource. Have the resources you listed actually going to be of use? Make sure you adopt a realistic approach. Ideal plans are not really a good idea.
Once you do, understand the true purpose of each resource.
Understand the Expertise
Well, the same goes for the human resource. Your labor is the most critical resource. Without people, no other resource can be brought to use. To allocate people to the project, you must understand the expertise and skill that each personnel hold. It helps to assign the right roles and responsibilities and enhance the productivity of your project.
Estimate the Duration
Duration is another important factor in finding out the amount of resources required. You can use your project estimation documents to figure this out. This will later help you in resource smoothing as well.
3. Categorize Your Resources
Once your list down all the resources in your plan, the next step is to categorize those resources. Categorization allows for better allocation and better budgeting.
Differentiate Internal and External Resources
The key to categorize your resources is to differentiate between internal and external resources. Internal resources include all the resources that you have readily available in your organization. You might be thinking that it is easy to put your hands on the internal resources, and so, this is not something you need to worry about. On the contrary!
Within an organization, there are several different processes to go through and organizational policies to follow to justify your need for the resources. Especially when the project has a large magnitude, acquiring resources becomes difficult. Therefore, careful estimation, negotiation, and trading conditions are some important factors.
External resources, on the other hand, need to be hired, bought, or borrowed. These are relatively easy to acquire. However, it is best to lay down a plan right away.
As you differentiate, you know what you already have and what you need to get.
4. Apply Resources to Activities
Once you put your hands on all the resources, applications, and allocation come next in the project resource management plan. Allocation is a tricky process. It requires iterations to make sure you have put your resources in the right place.
Use the Right Tools and Techniques
The allocation of resources can be made easier when you use the right tools and techniques. Here are some of the best ones to help you create your resource management plan:
• RACI Chart. It deals with the allocation of human resources. It makes sure you allocate people according to their key roles and relevant skills.
• Linear Responsibility Chart (LRC). It works just like RACI Chart. The only difference is that it allows the allocation of materials and equipment as per their requirement and usefulness.
• Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS). This is a technique to map material and asset resources on your work breakdown structure (WBS) i.e., allocating resources against each activity.
• Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS). This is a technique to map labor on your WBS tasks.
There are several other techniques and tools to assist in the proper allocation of the resources in the project resource management plan.
5. Balance Your Resources
Here we have another significant step. Allocating your resources is alone not enough. It needs to be followed by balancing your resources to ensure you do not run out of resources in the initial phase of the project. Also, balancing ensures efficient allocation.
Here’s how to do so:
Use Resource Smoothing
Resource Smoothing deals with moving your deployed resources to different points in your schedule. It allows better and efficient use of resources. In this process, the timeline is the priority. So, you need to move the resources as per task listing. This makes sure that adequate resources are available for at least the initial project tasks.
Use Resource Leveling
Resource Leveling means to spread out the resources in a way that they are not over-allocated. Here, resource utilization is the priority, and so, the efficient and speedy delivery is significant.

6. Assess Risks and Countermeasures
Now that you have found the resources, allocated, and balanced them in your plan, it is time to assess the risks and prepare some countermeasures beforehand. To do so, you need to ask yourself the following questions and find plausible answers:
• Is it possible that you run into any risks regarding resources, such as running out of resources?
• How big is the risk magnitude?
• Is it possible to avert the risk?
• What are the most efficient and cost-effective ways to avert the risk?
Finding the right answers ensure effective countermeasures are put into place. Sometimes, moving the resources at the right time and in the right numbers is all you need to do!
7. Review and Edit
As your project resource management plan draft is ready, give yourself a little break. Relax your mind to allow it to gain its productivity. Now, go through your plan once again and make changes as desired.
Final Thoughts
The resource management plan offers the right direction for the right allocation and utilization of resources. However, there needs to be a proper plan created. Following the steps mentioned above will help you have an effective resource management plan in your hand.
Also, it is important to remember that your project resource management plan needs to be flexible enough to incorporate any changes at the later stage. Know that allocation and balancing of resources are both iterative processes. They might require changes from time to time.

Since I have to write it down before I edit my paper, "A Proposal for an Alternative Model of the Photon" as given on your web site, I might as well use Joe's site to form a draft, mainly for Cinci.
_____________________________________part 1_______________________________________
My major error was in the misinterpretation of what my equations #12 and #15 represented. I took them to apply to the photon, and thus the binary model at all times. That was an incorrect "interpretation" ! (DUMB!)
Those two equations apply only in the gravitational environment in which the photon was emitted. Equations 12 and 15 do not apply continuously to the photon's total energy and it's wave energy (hf) as it moves thru varying gravitational environments. At emission the photon's wavelength, frequency, and speed of Co are permanently fixed and will not vary under the gravitational influence. It should be noted that the frequency and wavelength will change in the event of an elastic collision with another entity but this is outside the scope of this discussion. It is only when the photon is considered in the light of a binary model that we see what the mechanism is that changes with a change in gravitational intensity. Einstein showed that the rate at which time precesses drops (equivalent to frequency) as the gravitational intensity increases. In the section on the "birth of a photon" I show that the photon (at emission in a gravitational intensity, PHI) has three components. They are:
1) A wave of constant wave momentum that oscillates at a constant frequency, has a constant wavelength, and travels at speed Co.
2) A wave of non-constant wave momentum (DeBroglie wave) that is continually generated by the wave of 1) above. Furthermore it is equal in energy to the difference between the wave energy of the wave of 1) measured in a gravitational intensity Phi and the wave energy of a like spectral line emitted and measured in a PHI = 0 gravitational environment.
3) An amount of energy (equal to the energy in the DeBroglie wave of 2) above induced from the gravitational environment, PHI, into the DeBroglie wave of 2) above.
Thus the total energy of the photon (at time of emission) is composed Is composed of total energy E(total) = E(constant wave momentum wave {hf}) plus twice
the energy of the DeBroglie wave as set forth in 2) above. Mathematically This can be calculated by setting E(total)= eq.#12 , setting E(wave energy{hf} = eq#15 . To obtain, at time of emission, the total energy of the DeBrogle component merely subract the energy of #15 from the energy of #12.
_________________________________part 2___________________________________
Now we will show what does occurs the photon (binary) moves from the gravitational environment in which it was emitted to a differing one, say from emission on the sun to the gravitational environment of the earth. Before I had erroneously interpreted #12 and #15 to indicate that the following conditions applied:
a) the frequency (rate at which time precesses), and the speed, C, of the wave of constant wave momentum varied according to #15 as PHI changed. It increased as it went from the sun to the earth until it reached earth and achieved a frequency equal to the frequency of a like photon emitted on earth.
b)The wavelength of the constant wave momentum wave remained constant.
c)The DeBroglie component of the binary model lost twice the energy that was gained by the constant wave momentum component in traversing a path from Sun to Earth.
This seemed convenient because it met, quantitatively, all observed results of energy experiments performed under the gravitational influence. However, the results of dispersion experiments would be violated.
_______________________________Part 3 __________________________________________________ ________
It was finally realized that a binary photon model containing the following elements would match the results of all of the classic and relativistic experiments. Its' components are as follows:
a) The constant wave momentum component of the binary photon model would result in no change to frequency, wavelength, or speed in traveling from the Sun to the Earth. It would remain exactly as it was at the moment of emission on the Sun. It's wavelength would be longer and its' frequency (thus its' wave energy) would be lower than that of a like photon emitted on the earth.
b) The constant wave momentum wave (The oscillator) would still generate DeBroglie waves identical to those it generated on the sun at time of emission.
c) The amount of energy induced from the gravitational field would decrease as PHI decreased and so the energy in the Deroglie component would decrease proportionally and thus that of the total energy of the binary model of the photon. The decrease in the induced energy of the DeBroglie wave would be exactly that shown by the Newtonian calculation to be lost by a particle of total energy E(sun) emitted on the Sun and traveling to Earth.
A suggested experiment to prove this would be to compare magnetic field strength between an electron from the sun against one from the earth. The magnetic field of the electron from the sun should be greater than the one from the earth.

Scientific applications running on HPC systems share common I/O resources, including the parallel file system (PFS), and often suffer from inter-application I/O interference due to contention for shared storage resources. We explore mitigating I/O interference by coordinating I/O activities across applications. One example of this is scheduling applications such that the I/O cycle of one or a few applications overlaps with the compute cycles of others; thus, they will not access the PFS at the same time, reducing interference.
cruise architecture
I/O Coordination
We observe that scientific applications often have predictable I/O patterns for the majority of their executions, so we can leverage these patterns to enable I/O coordination between applications. In the example to the left, we illustrate I/O coordination between two applications. By overlapping compute and I/O cycles between them, we can eliminate the I/O interference experienced by App1. App2 incurred a small overhead from the initial wait time needed to shift its phase such that App1 and App2 achieve the overlap.
I/O Coordination System
This is our system model for achieving coordinated I/O scheduling between applications. It uses a global I/O scheduler and local I/O coordinator to manage application I/O requests and to co-schedule applications. The local coordinator takes control over application I/O requests by intercepting its I/O calls. Then it communicates with the global scheduler in order to obtain scheduling decisions and execute the I/O requests.
Application I/O Pattern Detection
This is our framework for detecting execution patterns (compute and I/O cycles) of scientific applications. We collect and mine application I/O traces to understand I/O patterns. An I/O pattern can be extracted off-line or on-line while the application is running. We use detected execution patterns for achieving I/O coordination between applications.

China's new capitalists, who have arisen from the booming private sector in the postcommunist era, are widely regarded as supporters of China's authoritarian political regime—the oft-cited “red capitalists.” Challenging the common view on the close connections between private entrepreneurs and political elites, this study applies an agency-centered perspective to examine how private entrepreneurs' organizational strategies in coping with formidable institutional environments created by the government have shaped their political values. From statistical analysis of a firm-level nationally representative data set, I find little evidence in the existing literature for the often depicted “redness” of Chinese private entrepreneurs. Although political connections that entrepreneurs seek to build with the government help mitigate the effects of institutional obstacles on their political opinions, such entrepreneur-state connections alone lead to entrepreneurs' unfavorable views on the polity. Private entrepreneurs' organizational innovations and particularly collaborative innovations beyond the firm level are found to significantly shape their political values, contributing to their potential role as political opponents in the future.
