Ultrastructural demonstration of iodine binding and peroxidase activity in the endostyle of Oikopleura dioica (Appendicularia). The endostyles of cephalochordates, ascidians, and larval petromyzontids have the capacity to organify iodine. A similar mechanism in the appendicularian endostyle has hitherto been unknown. Observations in this study of Oikopleura dioica with electron microscopic autoradiography and cytochemistry show that also the appendicularian endostyle has iodinating capacity and that the iodinating cells contain peroxidase, an enzyme responsible for iodination. After incubation in seawater containing 125I-, autoradiography revealed a selective labeling in the dorsal portion of the endostyle. The endostyle of O. dioica is on each side lined by four rows of corridor cells. The autoradiographic grains were mainly located over the endostylar lumen or associated with the luminal surface of the two central rows of corridor cells. These cells, but no other endostylar cells, also showed a positive reaction for peroxidase. The reaction product was distributed along the luminal plasma membrane and was also present in the cytoplasm within rough endoplasmatic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and vesicles. The selective labeling as well as the cytochemical reaction were abolished by incubation in methimazole, an inhibitor of peroxidase. It is suggested that the two central rows of the corridor cells can be considered as homologs to iodine-binding zones in other endostyles and also as a primitive forerunner to the vertebrate thyroid gland.

After then-NOPD officer David Warren fired the single shot that killed Henry Glover in Hurricane Katrina's aftermath, Warren was calm and nonchalant, a fellow officer told jurors Thursday during the second full day of testimony. "I walked over to officer Warren, and he had this really calm demeanor, very nonchalant, and said, 'I shot at him,'" Officer Keyalah Bell testified. "I said, 'shot at who?' [Warren] said, 'they were looting'... those are the only statements he made to me ... It was calm and nonchalant." His response, according to Bell's testimony, was chilling considering the circumstances: When Bell surveyed the scene outside an Algiers strip mall where Warren and another officer had been stationed, she discovered a towel soaked in a puddle of fresh blood. In a morning of testimony from law enforcement officials in Warren's retrial, Bell recalled the events of Sept. 2, 2005, and her interactions with Warren. He is charged with depriving Glover of his civil rights and illegal discharge of a deadly weapon. Defense attorneys tried to discredit Bell's testimony, asking her to explain why her account of that day has, over the years, changed - especially after federal agents visited her home in 2009, leaving behind a manila folder containing the details of their mounting case against Warren. NOPD Officer Keyalah BellOrleans Parish Sheriff's OfficeBell told the jury that on the day Glover was killed, she and her superior, Sgt. Purnella Simmons, responded to a frantic report that an officer had fired a round at a civilian. When the officers arrived at the scene, Bell met a hysterical Officer Linda Howard, Warren's partner for the day. But Warren, the rookie officer and former engineer who had been wielding his personal assault rifle fixed with a red-dot scope, was cool and collected, Bell said. Bell said she recognized Warren and the rifle he was cradling. The day before, Bell and Warren had been assigned together to patrol the Algiers strip mall that housed a police substation. At the time, Warren had been on the force just over a year, and Bell only had a few months more experience. Bell told the jury that officers of their rank weren't authorized to carry the type of firearm Warren had. "We weren't authorized to carry [an assault rifle], so why he had it I'm not sure," Bell told the jury. "I found it strange. The day before I found out he only had a few months less experience than myself. I was not authorized, I had not been trained with a rifle, so to me, it was strange." But Warren knew his way around a firearm, according to government witness Robert Williams, a former commander of the Police Academy now working as an operator in the city's Office of Homeland Security. Williams on Thursday told the jury that in fact, Warren is such a sharpshooter that he earned a perfect score on his 2004 in-service exam. The prosecution is expected to use that testimony to challenge Warren's prior statements that he believed he missed Glover. As part of the NOPD qualifying exam, Williams said during his testimony, all NOPD recruits must complete a rigorous training, and pass an exam that includes firearm certification. That test requires a score of 80 percent or more, and consists of 60 rounds, worth two points each. Warren hit all 60: 120 out of 120. A perfect score, Williams said, "is not frequent but it does occur ... maybe once or twice a year." All prospective NOPD officers also receive extensive use of force training. Another witness, Officer Charles Badon of the New Orleans Police Academy, administers such training, and testified that "deadly force is always a last resort. "If there are any reasonable options that can be taken to avoid deadly force, they should be taken," Badon said. "The officer must believe that he fears for his life, and his perception of the threat must be such that it would raise the fears of any person that...they are about to be killed." During her testimony, Bell said she'd only been at the scene of the Glover shooting for a short time when a dispatch came over the transom: a gunshot victim had arrived at nearby Habans Elementary School, a campus that after the storm housed an NOPD emergency center. Bell and Simmons immediately drove to the school. There, Bell noticed a white car. When she was first interviewed in 2009, Bell told investigators that she had not seen what was inside the car. But on Thursday, Bell told jurors that indeed she had seen Glover's bloodied body. After federal agents visited Bell's home in 2009 and took an initial statement, Bell said she began to remember more and more, and hours later called an FBI agent to correct her statement, including the new detail about Glover being in the vehicle. Jurors did not hear this, but Bell was fired from NOPD in 2012 after she drove drunk and crashed her personal vehicle into a parked car in Algiers the year before. She was reinstated in June of 2013 because the internal investigation exceeded legal time limits. During cross examination, defense attorney Rick Simmons called into question Bell's motive. Simmons said the agent left a file on the Glover case at Bell's home, before Bell amended her statement. Bell said she didn't look at the file. Bell, much like Howard who testified Tuesday, said she was so traumatized by the event that her memories had clouded. But as time went on, she began to remember more and more. "There had been many years where you just get traumatized having to look at it again and again and again and again," Bell said. "When [the agents] left, I started playing everything back. Piece my piece, I remembered seeing [Glover in the car], so I immediately called her back. "Even now, I see more things," Bell continued. "Playing it back like a video, you can see it like a movie." -- Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly described the strip mall where the shooting took place as a makeshift detective bureau. It was a regular police substation for 4th District investigators located in a strip mall.

[Tako-tsubo-like syndrome without emotional stress: a case report]. The tako-tsubo-like syndrome (also named left ventricular apical ballooning) is an unusual cardiomyopathy with a high incidence in the Japanese female population, following an emotional stress. The clinical features (typical chest pain), electrocardiographic (negative T wave and persistent ST-segment elevation in anterior leads), echocardiographic (transient left ventricular apical dysfunction with hyperkinesis of basal segments) are suggestive of an acute anterior myocardial infarction; nevertheless all reports in the literature show coronary arteries without angiographic lesions. We report the case of a 77-year-old female (without cardiovascular risk factors) with two prior episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, who arrived to the emergency department with chest pain, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic features, suggestive of an acute anterior myocardial infarction, not preceded by any emotional stress. Coronary angiography showed coronary arteries without atherosclerotic lesions; left ventriculography showed an anteroapical dysfunction. The follow-up performed with transthoracic echocardiography (2 months later) showed complete regression of regional wall motion abnormalities. The pathophysiological determinant seems to be related to the release of catecholamines (such as epinephrine and norepinephrine) able to create a transient board of ischemic cardiomyopathy through a direct cellular damage.

Aromatisation of androstenedione by human breast cancer tissue: correlation with hormone receptor activity and possible biologic significance. The conversion of 1 beta [3H] androstenedione to estrone in the presence of NADPH by breast cancer homogenates was assessed in tumors from 35 subjects together with estrogen and progesterone receptor concentration. Breast cancers from post menopausal women had significantly higher aromatase activity than those from premenopausal women. Although in many instances the local production of estrogens was sufficient to the capable of exerting a biologic effect, there was, however, no correlation with tumor estrogen or progesterone receptor content. Further studies of the biological significance of tumor aromatisation will depend on direct observation of tumor aromatase and response to suitable doses of aromatase inhibitors.

Looking for an overview of the new site of UT’s recently-announced Houston campus? Your best bet may be to stop in at the Wildcat Golf Club, located directly across Holmes Rd. from the site of UT’s planned purchase. Native Houstonians may experience a touch of vertigo trekking up the club’s grassy peaks to catch the view of NRG Park and downtown (see above) — hills on the site reach more than 115 feet above sea level in places. (Downtown, for comparison, stands at roughly 50 feet, and the big hill at Miller Outdoor Theater tops out around 65.) The golf club’s topography is a byproduct of its original gig as a major municipal landfill, operating for nearly two decades until 1989; clay and topsoil were imported to sculpt the waste heaps into today’s smoothly rolling hills and water features: HIGH VOLTAGE NEWS FOR HOUSTON BICYCLISTS Parks and Rec department director Joe Turner tells the Chronicle‘s Mike Morris that a powerline right-of-way crossing on University of Houston property northeast of the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Old Spanish Trail will be the first improvement allowed by a new agreement between the city and CenterPoint Energy (subject to city council approval this week) that will allow hike-and-bike trails to be cut along electrical transmission-line right of ways throughout the city. Most likely the next up, according to Turner: a trail from Sims Bayou to Cambridge Village Park in southwest Houston. That route, along with others being contemplated, runs north to south. As Mayor Parker noted in her announcement, that should complement the bayou-side (and therefore mostly east-west) trails being created as part of the Bayou Greenways 2020 project. CenterPoint is donating $1.5 million toward the creation of new trails on their property, possibly because it got what it wanted in the deal, which also involves the conversion of all 165,000 city traffic signals to LEDs over the next 5 years. Writes Morris: “Bills to allow trails on utility right of way were filed as early as 2007 but stalled over questions about how much liability CenterPoint should face in opening its land for recreational use. A compromise was reached last year. The utility is liable only for a serious injury or death caused by its ‘willful or wanton acts or gross negligence.’ Under the agreement announced Friday, the city would pay the utility’s legal bills if lawsuits are filed.” [Houston Chronicle ($); more info; previously on Swamplot] Photo of bike trail along Brays Bayou: Dave Fehling/State Impact Here’s a rendering that shows how that informal dog bowl along Buffalo Bayou near Montrose Blvd. will be formalized and capitalized into a Dog Park. Construction, says a PR rep for the Buffalo Bayou Partnership, will begin the first of the year; the park should be open next winter. Why, you might wonder, would it take that long to build a place for dogs to romp and run and bark and stuff? Part of it will be creating the pond you can see in the rendering. The pond, which will be treated with a “bio-filter” and native vegetation, is meant to keep said dogs 1) safe and 2) away from the bayou, so they don’t muddy up the banks scrambling in and out of the water and contribute to erosion. Other additions? A purty fence that will separate the pups from the joggers and 2 pavilions, at the top of the hill, that will provide a bit more shade. Construction began yesterday on a new 1.35-mile segment of hike and bike trail on White Oak Bayou, the first of 5 planned sections that will more or less formalize the route that some trail users have taken it upon themselves to blaze. Eventually, the $3.4 million that the Bayou Greenways project will spend here will create about 11 miles of off-street passage from Hollister Rd. in Spring Branch to Downtown. But first things first: This new segment will span Shepherd and Durham and W. 11th St., where, as this rendering from SWA Group shows, that charred MKT railroad trestle will be replaced with a snazzy new one — somewhat to the chagrin of John Nova Lomax, you’ll remember, who’s on the record lamenting the yoga dads and their ilk that that char might have once scared off. At a meeting yesterday, reps from the Houston Parks Board told reps from the Idylwood Civic Club that the HPB would agree to let alone that grassy knoll, shown here, where a trailhead providing access to the Brays Bayou hike and bike was to have been installed. Described in 2009 documents as “Sylvan Dell Parking Lot,” it appears that the proposed trailhead would have provided 19 off-street parking spaces, benches, lighting, a gazebo, and exercise equipment. Though those specs don’t really matter now: Houston Parks Board rep Jen Powis tells Swamplot that the Idylwood residents “chose to eliminate” the project. Across town from the molten-zinc-dipped pedestrian bridges and Bud Light Amphitheaters going up along Buffalo Bayou, site prep is underway to build a new section of hike and bike trail along Brays Bayou in Mason Park. Paid for by the same federal scratch that will fund a yet-to-be-designed pedestrian bridge spanning the bayou on the south side of 75th St. (or behind that bridge in the photo), this section will connect 75th to Forest Hill Blvd., where the trail picks up and splits, running west to Lawndale and east to Capitol near the Magnolia Transit Center. Metalab recently collaborated on and completed this so-called “architectural folly” commissioned by those staunch advocates of play, The Art Guys. Dubbed the “Tumbling House,” the private playshack rests atop a 50-ft. galvanized arch of rolled pipe; the pipe spans much of the backyard and branches off into a manic jungle gym of swings, slides, monkey bars, and ladders. Metalab declined to give many more details about the project, since it’s a private thing and all, but you can see more photos of the whimsical whozee-whatzit from the firm’s blog: COMMENT OF THE DAY: HUNTING FOR BURIED TREASURE AT CAMP STRAKE “I was once on a campout there and some guy in my troop, in the process of digging a hole for something, found an early 1940′s Walking Liberty half dollar, the most beautiful coin the U.S. mint ever produced. Suddenly we were all seized with hysteria. Old silver coins! In the ground! Right beneath us! And it just so happened that one of the scout masters had a metal detector. So at the behest of a dozen crazed boys in their early teens, he led us off on an afternoon mission seeking treasure. Each boy took turns claiming whatever was unearthed in the next metal strike. The beeping sounded, the digging commenced, up came an old rusty nail. Ten minutes later beeping again, excitement, digging, rusty nail. On and on, crisscrossing Camp Strake, through the woods, down the dirt roads, along the lake: rusty nail, rusty nail, rusty nail. Our numbers dwindled; soon it was just me and one other guy, dreaming of coins, digging up nails. And then it was evening and we gave up. All those little holes. A bucket full of rusty nails.” [Mike, commenting on Boy Scouts Sell Camp Strake in Conroe To Master-Planned Community Master Planners] Illustration: Lulu You’ve got to make some divots before you can start replacing them: Construction will begin this week in Spring on another TopGolf in Houston. This 65,000-sq.-ft. bar, event venue, and aim-required golfing alley will be located on almost 11 acres at 560 Spring Park Blvd., a few miles south on I-45 of the coming-along-now ExxonMobil campus. In December, TopGolf opened its first Houston location at 1030 Memorial Brook Blvd. You can see more renderings of what to expect after the jump.

Breakout Coin (BRK) is a product of Breakout Gaming which is a new, globally accessible online gaming entertainment company that plans to provide poker, sports wagering, casino games, fantasy sports, and other popular gaming options. The original currency, Breakout Coin, was later integrated into a unique multi-currency wallet system called "Breakout Chain". While Breakout Coin (BRK) remains the principal currency for Breakout Gaming, there are also Breakout Stake (BRX) and Sister Coin (SIS) which serve to secure the ledger through a combined proof-of-stake (PoS) and proof-of-work (PoW) model. The PoS system uses Breakout Stake as the stake, minting Breakout Coin. As such, the Breakout Stake money supply will never increase, whereas the Breakout Coin money supply increases at a rate of approximately 5% per year. Breakout Chain’s PoW system produces Sister Coin as an incentive to miners. Original announcement.

Menu The Humanity of the Rebel The love of violence is, to me, the ancient and symbolic gesture of man against the constraints of society. Vicious men can exploit the impulse, but it is a disaster to treat the impulse as vicious. For no society is strong which does not acknowledge the protesting man; and no man is human who does not draw strength from the natural animal. Jacob Bronowski from The Face of Violence. I love the insights of Rollo May and I recommend his books to you. Below are some of his thoughts on the rebel in his book, Power and Innocence. What is the central element that constitutes the human being? It is the capacity to sense injustice and take a stand against it in the form of I-will-be-destroyed-rather-than-submit. It is a rudimentary anger, a capacity to muster all one’s power and assert it against what one experiences as unfair. However it may be confounded or covered up or counterfeited, this elemental capacity to fight against injustice remains the distinguishing characteristic of human beings. It is, in short, the capacity to rebel. In the present day, when multitudes of people are caught in anxiety and helplessness, they tend psychologically to freeze up and to cast out of the city walls whoever would disturb their pretended peace. Ironically, it is during just those periods of transition when they most need the replenishing that the rebel can give them that people have the greatest block in listening to him. The rebel is “one who opposes authority or restraint: one who breaks with established custom or tradition.” His distinguishing characteristic is his perpetual restlessness. He seeks above all an internal change, a change in the attitudes, emotions, and outlook of the people to whom he is devoted. He often seems to be temperamentally unable to accept success and the easy it brings; he kicks against the pricks, and when one frontier is conquered, he soon becomes ill-at-easy and pushes on to the new frontier. He is drawn to the unquiet minds and spirits, for he shares their everlasting inability to accept stultifying controls. No matter how much the rebel gives the appearance of being egocentric or of being on an “ego trip,” this is a delusion; inwardly the authentic rebel is anything but brash. He rebels for the sake of a vision of life and society which he is convinced is critically important for himself and his fellows. Every act of rebellion tacitly presupposes some value. The rebel does not seek power as an end and has little facility for using it; he tends to share his power. The rebel fights not only for the relief of his fellow men but also for his personal integrity. The humanity of the rebel lies in the fact that civilization rises from his deeds. The function of the rebel is to shake the fixated mores, and the rigid order of civilization; and this shaking, through painful, is necessary if the society is to be saved from boredom and apathy. Civilization gets its first flower from the rebel. The rebel insists that his identity be respected; he fights to preserve his intellectual and spiritual integrity against the suppressive demands of his society. He must range himself against the group which represents to him conformism, adjustment, and the death of his own originality and voice. The rebel rises from the society, criticizes it, and aligns himself with those who are trying to reform it; and all the while he is a member of the very culture he opposes. The rebel is continually struggling to make the society into a community. In our particular day, the rebel fights the mechanizing bureaucratic trends not because these in themselves are evil, but because they are the paramount modern channels for the dehumanizing of man, the stultifying loss of integrity, and the indignity of man. For the rebel does what the rest of us would like to do but don’t dare. Through his rebellion the rebel saves us. Civilization needs the rebel. I salute the rebels in our organizations, institutions, and communities for they are the energy of renewal and growth.

Mystery reborn as Glitch returns to screens Camera IconEmma Booth returns in season two of Australian paranormal drama series Glitch. When filming wrapped on the first season of the ABC’s paranormal drama Glitch, actress Emma Booth had a barrage of questions she hoped would be answered in season two. Airing in 2015, the six-part series centred on a group of people who mysteriously rose from the dead in the town of Yoorana and, for reasons unexplained, cannot physically move beyond the town’s boundaries or else wind up dead, again. It wasn’t until Netflix added Glitch to its TV content last year that the series, dubbed by some US critics as “the next Stranger Things”, went on to amass a cult international following and subsequently set the wheels in motion for season two. “We weren’t sure if it was going to happen,” Booth recalls. “Everyone was going a little bit crazy but when it eventually got picked up by Netflix I think it had that second instalment of life breathed into it and everyone went crazy for it. So they were all like ‘Quick, let’s make a second one’.” Co-produced by Matchbox Pictures, Netflix and the ABC, Booth returns as Kate, who is none the wiser since mysteriously rising from the dead only to find herself confined to live within Yoorana’s borders. While Booth has notched up a string of notable roles since filming the first season, she relished the chance to revisit her character’s strange predicament. “The minute I put the costume on, boots and all, and having all (the cast) around, it was like I never left,” she recalls. Camera IconBooth with Glitch co-star and fellow West Australian Sean Keenan. “It kind of felt like Kate made the decision to move on and there’s a really beautiful strength in her that came out. She is such a wonderful character to play, she’s very complex and layered, which always keeps me very interested in my job in general. “I have to play characters that I really get to go deep with, or so I hope. That’s what I really enjoy, exploring the inner psyche and she’s a pretty amazing character so it was awesome to get back into playing her.” Also returning is Patrick Brammall as Kate’s ex-husband James, who is still digging for answers as to why his dead wife has returned; fellow WA actor Sean Keenan as back-from-the-dead Charlie; and Genevieve O’Reilly as Dr Elisha, who reveals a shocking new twist in the season two opener. WAAPA graduate Luke Arnold and Rob Collins also join the cast this season as enigmatic characters with an unknown agenda. “There’s definitely a different feel this season,” Booth says. “It gets very interesting. They certainly brought out the questions for everyone, and it’s like, ‘How are they going to explain this?’ It gets so much weirder, you have no idea what’s coming. But pretty much all the questions get answered, and it gets a lot weirder, that’s all I’m going to say.” Booth says the complex mysteries woven throughout the series are a credit to writer Louise Fox, who co-created Glitch with award- winning writer/director Tony Ayres (The Slap, Nowhere Boys). “Lou is a brilliant writer. For something as insane and unbelievable as six people crawling out of their graves, she’s just managed to keep it really special and really grounded in realism. She’s done a brilliant job at explaining,” she says. “I think that it’s always interesting when you first read the script, I mean I’m just as curious as any other person out there, and the amount of times I’ve gone ‘Are you kidding me?’ It keeps it interesting.” Another TV project that has Booth excited is her upcoming role in the hit US fairytale drama Once Upon A Time. Booth is set to portray “a witch” in the show’s upcoming seventh season, which is shot in Vancouver and will air in the US in October. “It’s another interesting character, and I love fairytales. I’m obsessed with them,” she says.

Latest smartlipo review Both the salon and the therapist were very nice but the experience is not exactly what it says in the description. There is no full body exfoliation or massage. The therapist exfoliated and wrapped my stomach and leg areas and then I sweated it out for the next hour and a half. Actually it would have been a lot nicer with a bit of a head massage or something to help relax. It is quite hot and uncomfortable lying there and the salon is noisy so it is quite hard to relax.

MMB - Elders Butler, Peterson and Brother Samuels Part 1 - Siesta A few weeks ago, Elder Butler, a cute Mormon missionary, interrupted his companion, Elder Peterson, during a workout and seduced him into an intense sex encounter. Like most 18 year old boys, these two are horny all the time, and since they first got off, they have gotten into the habit of fooling around every night before bed and first thing in the morning. As far as Elder Peterson can tell, the sex has only made them better missionaries. They are more loving and more trusting with each other, and they’re happy all the time. This particular morning, they were accompanied by a local member of the Church, Brother Samuels, to their meetings with potential converts. Brother Samuels was the ward mission leader in his previous ward, and still tries to make time for missionary service. He’s older. About the age of the boys’ fathers if he had to guess. Without fail, he finds the elders are polite, hard-working and a joy to be around. After going door to door all morning in the heat, the three are wiped out and head back to the missionary apartment for a nap. There’s no furniture in the bedroom except for the boys’ bunkbed, so they decide to take the bottom bunk and let Brother Samuels be on top. Elder Butler immediately second guesses this decision, remembering the glory hole in the top bunk mattress, cut out by some previous elders. Elder Peterson, not wanting to bring any attention to it, reassures Elder Butler of this decision, hoping Brother Samuels just doesn’t notice. Both of the missionaries are secretly pleased that they’ll be able to cuddle unseen and possibly even fool around without him noticing. It’s not that they aren’t interested in the older man. He’s sexy enough. He’s got such a deep voice, and he’s so serious and stern, and he’s got such big hands, which made Elder Peterson think he must also have a big, thick cock. Peterson didn’t have to wonder for long. A few weeks ago Brother Samuels showed up in Elders Quorum in a new European cut suit. It added a lot of clarity to what he was packing. Since then, the elders can’t help looking at his obviously large basket instead of his face when they have conversations with him at church. So obviously last week, while staring of the outline of his plump dickhead snaked down his pant leg, when he asked if they needed any help they quickly agreed to have him along for member visits. And frankly, although neither of them says it out loud, they both have fantasized about crawling into bed with him, if only to get their hands on his impressive organ. They know it’s wrong…gay Mormon sex is taboo. But that hasn’t stopped them from acting on their desires so far. Each of them take off suit and tie, covertly looking at one another as they do so. Once the boys’ are stripped to their garments, Elder Peterson notices that Elder Butler’s penis is hard, and he hopes Brother Samuels doesn’t notice. But Brother Samuels doesn’t stop at his garments — he gets completely naked, and the boys gape at his muscular, hairy chest, his big arms, and his meaty dick. Brother Samuels can’t take his eyes off the boys’ bodies, Elder Butler’s skinny frame and Elder Peterson’s ripped torso. As he climbs up to his bunk, he’s already starting to sport a boner. The two boys crawl in to the bottom bunk and immediately start to cuddle. Elder Peterson grabs his companion’s dick and strokes it gently. Elder Butler moans. The boys think they’re being sneaky, but Brother Samuels hears everything, and when he discovers that there is an opening between the slats in his bunk, he lowers his boner down to the boys. Neither of them has ever seen such a fat dick before, and they lick and suck it, hesitantly at first, and then eagerly, both of them competing to milk out a huge load of cum…

Accurate thermochemistry and spectroscopy of the oxygen-protonated sulfur dioxide isomers. Despite the promising relevance of protonated sulfur dioxide in astrophysical and atmospheric fields, its thermochemical and spectroscopic characterization is very limited. High-level quantum-chemical calculations have shown that the most stable isomer is the cis oxygen-protonated sulfur dioxide, HOSO(+), while the trans form is about 2 kcal mol(-1) less stable; even less stable (by about 42 kcal mol(-1)) is the S-protonated isomer [V. Lattanzi et al., J. Chem. Phys., 2010, 133, 194305]. The enthalpy of formation for the cis- and trans-HOSO(+) is presented, based on the well tested HEAT protocol [A. Tajti et al., J. Chem. Phys., 2004, 121, 11599]. Systematically extrapolated ab initio energies, accounting for electron correlation through coupled cluster theory, including up to single, double, triple and quadruple excitations, have been corrected for core-electron correlation, anharmonic zero-point vibrational energy, diagonal Born-Oppenheimer and scalar relativistic effects. As a byproduct, proton affinity of sulfur dioxide and atomization energies have also been obtained at the same levels of theory. Vibrational and rotational spectroscopic properties have been investigated by means of composite schemes that allow us to account for truncation of basis set as well as core correlation. Where available, for both thermochemistry and spectroscopy, very good agreement with experimental data has been observed.

Regulation of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels in the early developing heart: role of beta1 integrins. In contrast to adult ventricular cardiomyocytes the developmentally early stage cardiomyocytes show a suppression of the basal voltage-dependent calcium channels (DCC L-type Ca2+ channels, I(Ca)) by carbachol (CCh). This effect is mediated by the endothelial NO-synthase (NOS III). In contrast late stage and adult cardiomyocytes a direct coupling of the muscarinic receptor to the adenylyl cyclase. Thus, NO may function as an early signal transduction molecule during development. This review elucidates the role of beta1-integrins in mediating signal transduction between muscarinic receptors and coupled downstream target proteins such as ion channels. The key finding is that in embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes deficient of beta1-integrins, the modulation of L-type Ca2+ channels via the M2 receptor is absent. Experiments indicate that this selective signaling defect occurs at the G-protein level. This suggests a novel critical role for integrins in membrane delimited signal transduction processes.

Israel is close to exploding. And that’s because Benjamin Netanyahu has successfully cultivated a new way of understanding the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Listen to the last two labor party prime ministers of Israel Ehud Barak and Yitzhak Rabin to hear what the difference sounds like. How did they speak about their Palestinian enemies? In 1998, Barak, then-chairman of the Labor Party, said that if he were a Palestinian he might have joined a terrorist organization. When attacked by the Likud, the former chief-of-staff and the most decorated soldier of the Israel Defense Forces responded: “What would they have wanted me to say, that if I were a young Palestinian who has from birth undergone a Palestinian experience, I would have become a third- grade teacher in an elementary school?” Ehud Barak can be objective about the Israeli Palestinian conflict. He can see it from both sides. Now listen to Yitzhak Rabin address the Palestinian people in 1994 a year and half before his assassination. Like Barak, Rabin had the ability to see the I/P conflict from the other side: “I appeal now to the Palestinian people and say: Our Palestinian neighbors, one hundred years of bloodshed implanted in us hostility toward one another. For one hundred years we lay in wait for you, and you lay in wait for us. We killed you, and you killed us… Today, you and we stretch out our hands in peace. Today, we are beginning a different reckoning. “…The new hope which we take with us from here is boundless. There is no limit to our goodwill, to our desire to see a historic conciliation between two peoples who have until now lived by the sword in the alleyways of Khan Yunis and the streets of Ramat Gan, in the houses of Gaza and the plazas of Hadera, in Rafah and Afula.” And this Rabin sentiment is genuine. He is telling Palestinians we both love this land and we can split it up. How shocking Rabin’s outreach reads now indicates how much has changed in Israeli political culture. Contrast those sentiments with what the Israeli discourse sounds today What did Netanyahu say was Omar al-Abed’s motive for the killing of three Halamish family members in a west bank settlement? Netanyahu claimed he was a: “Beast incited by Jew-hatred.” https://www.facebook.com/IsraeliPM/ This was no slip of the tongue. The Palestinian beasts motivated by anti-Semitism is Netanyahu’s explanation for the conflict. And he has proselytized this understanding of Palestinian violence against Jews so well that it’s become conventional wisdom in Israel. When a Palestinian recently killed an Israeli police woman in E. Jerusalem Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely proclaimed: “Hadas Malka, heroine of the war of light against darkness, the war of purity against brutality,” That extreme Manichaeism is precisely what Netanyahu preaches: “A deep and wide moral abyss separates us from our enemies. They sanctify death while we sanctify life. They sanctify cruelty while we sanctify compassion.” http://www.pmo.gov.il/English/MediaCenter/Events/Pages/eventeulogy010 714.aspx This view of the Palestinian enemy has been behind a host of bitter battles between Netanyahu and Israeli security experts. Because whether Palestinians are born again Nazis or just like any other people under occupation will lead to very different policy prescriptions. http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.802607 Netanyahu policies suggest he believes what he says about the Palestinians. Because if Palestinians are motivated by Jew-hatred what does it matter what Israel does anyhow? This is why Netanyahu overrules the security experts so often when they advocate for a policy of restraint in the Occupied territories. It was “understanding” the Muslim perspective why the Mossad, the Shin Bet, and the IDF thought it “madness, sheer madness” not to remove the metal detectors from the Temple Mount. But Netanyahu is not inclined to ponder the Palestinian Muslim experience to help him reach a decision. Because “understanding” the Palestinian perspective is legitimizing the Palestinian perspective for Benjamin Netanyahu. And in Netanyahu’s Israel, legitimizing or empathizing with the Palestinian perspective and narrative is taboo. There are no two sides to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. There is only the Jewish Zionist narrative. That is the moral clarity Netanyahu has successfully sold to his people. But the result for Israel is a cultural catastrophe and an existential crisis. That is what the Elor Azaria case represents. Elor Azaria was caught red handed on video executing a prone Palestinian in March 2016 in Occupied Hebron. Even a child watching the video can see the killing was an act of revenge against Abd al Fatah Al-Sharif for injuring his friend. http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.710853 They recognize his “take that” expression at the end from the bullies in their school. So, what then are Azaria’s loudest supporters like Naftali Bennett shouting about? Have they found some exculpatory evidence for Azaria by scrutinizing the B’Tselem video? “Talk of a murder charge against a combat soldier during a combat operation is a moral mistake that blurs the lines between good and evil. I expect this mistake to be mended.” That Azaria arrived 10 minutes after the “combat operation” and was avenging his friend’s stabbing does not interest education minister Bennett. What Bennett finds morally objectionable is “good” Azaria going to prison for killing “evil” Abd al Fatah Al-Sharif. This is the Israel of 2017. Look at the overreaction by Israeli political culture to the tragic killing of three Israelis by Omar al-Abed. Only in this new Netanyahu extreme Manichean world does it make any sense. Netanyahu and Bennett have called for the death penalty for Omar al-Abed. (Adolf Eichmann was the last person executed by Israeli) One Likud MK offered to personally execute Omer al-Abed family and another threatened the Palestinians with another Nakba if they don’t cut out the commotion. https://www.facebook.com/oren.pan This conflict whether the Palestinian people are a Nazi- Jihadi amalgam, fixated on killing Jews or like any other people under occupation will be on full display after the July 30th final judgment on the Azaria act. The question whether Azaria should be pardoned is a question whether Israel wants to be part of the western world. Because “we are the best good and our enemies are the worst evil” is not how trials are decided anymore unless that is you want to live in the Israel of Ofer Winter. What was the rallying cry of then colonel, since promoted, Ofer Winter, commander of the elite Givati brigade as he sent his troops into Gaza in July 2014? “History has chosen us to spearhead the fight against the terrorist Gazan enemy who curses, vilifies and abominates Israel’s God,” It is this Manichean tribal perspective that can’t tolerate Elor Azaria going to prison. And it is this perception of the Palestinian people that needs to be discredited before it’s too late.

Concerns about privacy are running so high that 60 per cent of the 1,588 Facebook users questioned by Sophos, a computer security organisation, said they were considering deleting their accounts on the social networking site. A further 16 per cent said they had already stopped using Facebook because they felt they had inadequate control over their data, while a quarter said that they would not be quitting the social networking site, which has almost 500 million users worldwide. Facebook has attracted criticism in recent weeks for the perceived complexity of its privacy settings, and the fact that users have to opt-out of sharing some of their information with third parties, rather than give explicit consent by opting in. Although Facebook is expected to look again at its privacy policy in the coming days, it may not be enough to halt an online campaign for a mass Facebook "suicide" on May 31, with thousands of users encouraged to delete their accounts. "This poll shows that the majority of users are fed up with the lack of control that Facebook gives users over their data," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. "Most still don't know how to set their Facebook privacy options safely, finding the whole system confusing. What's needed is a fundamental shift towards asking users to 'opt-in' to sharing information, rather than to 'opt-out'. "A mass exodus from Facebook seems unlikely, but users are clearly getting more interested in knowing precisely who can view their data. People use Facebook to share private information and are unlikely to want their holiday snaps or new mobile number accidentally popping up all over the internet."

In Narendra Modi’s India, to be Indian is to be Hindu. By connecting the national identity to the dominant faith in the country, the Prime Minister has led a campaign to disenfranchise millions of people who don’t share his beliefs, particularly the minority Muslim population, which represents 14 percent of the country. By blurring the line between politician and spiritual leader, Modi has secured an unprecedented mandate to carry his policies, which tend to affect adversely those who don’t share his faith. GroundTruth Fellow Soumya Shankar was one of the first reporters on the ground in Kashmir during the recent military takeover by Modi’s government, reporting on the tactics used to secure control of the territory and the protests by its residents. Shankar also traveled to the border with Bangladesh, where thousands of people, mainly Muslims, are being denied their right to vote and even their very citizenship, as Modi tries to redefine Indian identity along religious lines.

Eusko Trenbideak – Ferrocarriles Vascos Eusko Trenbideak (in Basque), Ferrocarriles Vascos (in Spanish), and under the commercial brand Euskotren (in English: Basque Railways), is a public railway company controlled by the Basque Government and officially established in 1982 to operate several narrow gauge railways inside the autonomous community of the Basque Country, under the terms of the Statute of Autonomy of the Basque Country. Originally operating under the commercial brand "ET/FV" (standing for Eusko Trenbideak/Ferrocarriles Vascos), it took control of the management and operations of the narrow gauge lines formerly operated by the railway company Feve. The commercial brand eventually changed to Euskotren, as it remains today. Services Euskotren operates several public transportation services; including commuter rail, inter-city rail, urban rail transit and public bus services as well as freight rail transport. Each of the transport services is operated under a global commercial brand.). The company also aims to operate high-speed rail services on the Basque Y. Euskotren Tranbia Euskotren Tranbia (tranbia being the Basque word for tram) is the commercial brand for the urban tram services operated by Euskotren. Currently, it operates two services in two cities; Bilbao's Tram, in Bilbao and Vitoria's Tram in Vitoria-Gasteiz, while one more line is being constructed in Leioa and another one is planned in Barakaldo, both in the Greater Bilbao area. From the opening of the first line in Bilbao in 2002 until 2012 the commercial brand for these services was "Euskotran". Euskotren Autobusa Euskotren Autobusa (autobusa being the Basque word for bus) is the commercial brand for the operator of several bus lines in the provinces of Biscay and Gipuzkoa. Euskotren Autobusa serves as an operator for the services among other companies; the commercial brand for the services is Bizkaibus in Biscay and Lurraldebus in Gipuzkoa. Euskotren Kargo Euskotren Kargo is the commercial brand for the freight rail transport services operated by Euskotren. Euskotren Kargo operated only during nighttime, sharing the railtracks of Euskotren Trena. Until 2012 the commercial brand for the service was "Euskokargo".

The recovery, it was learnt, occurred three days after the army launched a special operation, `Harbin Kunama II,’ to flush out armed bandits from the area. The special operation, Harbin Kunama – `Scorpion Sting,’ was launched in Kaura Local Government Area of the state on April 19. Speaking earlier today, Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman, the Director of Army Public Relations, who said the recovery was made on Saturday, added that the arms and ammunition were discovered when troops embarked on cordon and search of Gwaska, Dangoma, Angwan Far and Bakin Kogi general area of Southern Kaduna State. He listed them as 73 dane guns, four locally made rifles, one locally made machine gun and one locally made pistol. Others were 260 cartridges, 14 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, 63 rounds of 9mm ammunition, one locally made small machine gun magazine and a pair of worn out military boot. Usman also said that some quantities of assorted improvised ammunition and pyrotechnics hidden in dug out pits were recovered. “While efforts are ongoing to track down the owners of the arms and ammunition, it is imperative to state that the good people of the area have been very supportive and cooperating with the military which led to these unprecedented findings. “Similarly, in Sector 1 of the operation which covers Kano State, troops in conjunction with other security agencies are carrying out operations in suspected armed bandits camps in Falgore forest,’’ he said.

Image copyright AFP Image caption Jack Ma founded Alibaba in 1999 Revenue at e-commerce giant Alibaba jumped 60% in the first three months of the year, powered by a growing customer base in China. More than 450 million Chinese shoppers used its sites during the quarter, with the average annual spending up by about a third, Alibaba said. The growth pushed revenues for the period to $5.6bn (£4.3bn). But investors weren't satisfied, sending shares down 3% on Thursday. Alibaba, started by billionaire Jack Ma, is the dominant online retailer in China. The Chinese business accounts for 67% of Alibaba's revenue, or $3.7bn - a 41% rise on the same period last year. Like its US rival Amazon - which claims more than 300 million customer accounts - Alibaba has expanded into a wide range of services, including cloud computing and media, via its Youku Tudou video hosting service. Alibaba said it had more than 870,000 customers for its cloud computing services at the end of March. Quarterly revenue from that unit doubled from last year, reaching $314m, the firm said. Digital media and entertainment revenue grew even faster, rising 234% year-on-year to $571m. Alibaba's Ant Financial buys MoneyGram for $880m Alipay takes on Apple in US expansion Alibaba forecast up after Singles' Day Alibaba has said it also plans to expand internationally for future growth. International retail sales in the quarter more than tripled from 2016, to $353m. The firm acquired the Singapore e-commerce site Lazada last year. Total profits in the quarter were $1.5bn, up 98% year-on-year. But for the financial year that closed in March they declined about 40%, a drop the firm attributed largely to its film division, Alibaba Pictures Group. "Our robust results demonstrate the strength of our core businesses, as well as the positive momentum of our emerging businesses," said Maggie Wu, the firm's chief financial officer.

Vivus sees EU regulators rejecting diet drug JosephWalker --Vivus sees European delay in getting diet drug approved --Company cites tough regulatory environment --Shares slide 10% (Updates throughout with details and comments from Vivus's president.) Vivus Inc. VVUS, -12.72% said a European drug regulator is unlikely to recommend marketing approval for the obesity drug Qsiva next month, a setback as the company races to sell its diet treatment on the continent. Peter Tam, president of Vivus, cited a tough regulatory environment in Europe for the decision and declined to speculate on how long Qsiva would be delayed there. After the ruling, which is expected in mid-October, Vivus can appeal the decision or refile the drug's application. "We await the official decision and the formal report, which should provide us specifics on any additional requirements leading to the approval of Qsiva in Europe," Mr. Tam said. He added that the company learned about the expected decision Wednesday in discussions with the regulator, the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. Qsiva is the European name for Vivus's drug marketed in the U.S. as Qsymia. Mr. Tam said it was unclear what specific issues the committee would cite in its decision, but committee members had expressed concerns about the European withdrawal of Abbott Laboratories' ABT, -0.16% weight-loss drug Meridia in 2010 and Sanofi S.A's (SAN) obesity drug Acomplia in 2008. Despite the epidemic of obesity, especially in developed markets like the U.S., diet drugs have faced intense scrutiny because regulators are mindful of the damaging side effects caused by older obesity treatments as well as the fact that the drugs are likely to be taken by millions of people for a long period of time. Mr. Tam also said European regulators are less comfortable with the use of phentermine, one of Qsiva's two active ingredients, than their American counterparts. Phentermine hasn't been on the European market in more than a decade, he said. The E.U. regulator's rejection of Qsiva could delay the drug's entry into the European market by at least 12 months, said equity analyst Simon Davison of Edison Investment Research. The delay could mean that Belviq, a competing drug from rival Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc. ARNA, +1.76% will be approved first in the E.U. Vivus shares slid 10% to $21.27, while Arena's stock gained 3.3% to $9.05. Vivus shares have more than doubled over the past year but have lost some gains in recent weeks. Arena's Belviq was approved first in the U.S. but has yet to reach the market because it had to go through a classification review with the Drug Enforcement Administration. The review, which lasts up to six months, is given to drugs with a likelihood or potential of being abused. Vivus's Qsymia was made available to U.S. consumers this week after U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in July, a month after Arena. Qsymia didn't have to undergo the DEA process because Qsymia has been classified as a non-narcotic drug by the agency based on a prior scheduling for one of its two generic components. Qsymia--previously known as Qnexa--is a controlled-release formulation that combines low doses of two older generic drugs: the stimulant phentermine, which cuts appetite, and topiramate, which increases the sense of feeling full. Topiramate is also sold under the brand name Topamax by Johnson & Johnson JNJ, +0.37% to treat migraines and seizures. Phentermine was part of the fen-phen obesity drug that was taken off the market in the 1990s because of links to heart-valve damage. Evidence now indicates the increased risk for heart problems was attributable to fenfluramine and not to phentermine. Intraday Data provided by SIX Financial Information and subject to terms of use.

Natalizumab discontinuation and disease restart in pregnancy: a case series. The humanized monoclonal alpha4-integrin antibody Natalizumab (NTZ) (Tysabri(©) , Biogen Idec, Cambridge, MA, USA) has shown to be effective in multiple sclerosis (MS) therapy; however, the interruption of the drug has been related to a disease restart. This risk has to be carefully considered in case of accidental or desired pregnancies. To report the risk of disease restart in patients who interrupted NTZ because of pregnancy and discuss the implication of NTZ choice in female childbearing patients with MS. Clinical histories and MRI images of four pregnant women with MS who interrupted NTZ. Despite pregnancy is usually related with disease stability, the cases presented here showed an abrupt increase of disability with high number of MRI lesions, some of them with a mass effect. We recommend that female patients on childbearing age must be informed before starting NTZ treatment of the risk of a return of disease activity when the drug is discontinued. The risk occurs even during pregnancy a condition that is considered as protective for women with MS.

WASHINGTON — A dim view of the U.S. job market emerged Tuesday with a report that employers cut back on hiring in September just before a partial government shutdown began. Just 148,000 jobs were added last month, a steep drop from August’s gain, though they were enough to lower unemployment to 7.2 percent from 7.3 percent in August. The report bolsters expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain its pace of bond purchases for the rest of 2013 to try to keep long-term loan rates low. The government’s release of the September jobs report had been delayed 2½ weeks by the shutdown. Temporary layoffs during the 16-day shutdown will probably depress October’s job gain. That means a clear picture of the job market won’t emerge before November jobs figures are issued in December. “The economy is too fragile for the Federal Reserve to touch,” Sung Won Sohn, an economist at California State University, Channel Islands, said. “The shenanigans in Congress have hurt confidence and increased uncertainties, most likely hurting both consumer and business spending as well as hiring.” Average U.S. job growth has fallen sharply in the past three months after a promising start this year. The economy added an average of 143,000 jobs a month from July through September. That was down from the 182,000 average gain during from April through June and well below the 207,000-a-month pace from January through March. The report “reinforces the impression that the labor market was losing a little momentum heading in to the shutdown,” said Josh Feinman, global chief economist at Deutsche Asset and Wealth Management. “The labor market is continuing to create jobs. …It’s just frustratingly slow.” Stocks rose after the report was released, in part because slower job gains mean the Fed will continue its stimulus efforts. The Dow Jones industrial average was up about 50 points in midday trading. Economists at Barclays now predict the Fed won’t trim its bond purchases until March, much later than its previous forecast of December. A tight job market has discouraged many Americans from looking for work. The percentage of Americans working or looking for work remained at a 35-year low last month. The government doesn’t count people as unemployed unless they are actively looking for work. Most of the drop in the unemployment rate this year has occurred because many people have either given up looking or have postponed their job searches by remaining in school. The September jobs report showed that some higher-paying industries added jobs at a healthy pace. Construction companies, for example, added 20,000. The budget impasse didn’t stop Accumold, which makes components for medical devices, smartphones and other electronic goods, from boosting its workforce. CEO Roger Hargens said the Ankeny, Iowa-based company filled jobs in September and plans to add up to 65 to its 185-worker staff in the next few months. Hargens says he is seeing more orders from customers who are shifting from Chinese manufacturers to U.S. suppliers. “There’s a big trend to move manufacturing back to the United States,” he said. “It’s really speeding up now for us.” Last month, average hourly U.S. pay ticked up 3 cents to $24.09. In the past year, pay has risen 2.1 percent, ahead of the 1.5 percent inflation rate. The government revised its estimates of job growth in July and August to show a slight net gain of 9,000. It said employers added 193,000 jobs in August, more than the 169,000 previously estimated. But it said just 89,000 were added in July, the fewest in more than a year and below the earlier estimated 104,000. The deceleration in job growth was a key reason the Fed decided in September to hold off on slowing its $85-billion-a-month in bond purchases. Many economists think the lack of clean data will lead the Fed to put off any decision on the bond purchases until 2014. “It reinforces their hesitancy,” Feinman said of the September jobs report. “It’s more validation for their hesitancy to taper in September.” Many economists say the shutdown cut $25 billion out of the economy and slowed growth to about a 2 percent annual rate in the October-December quarter. That’s down from estimates before the shutdown that the economy would expand at a 2.5 percent annual rate. Robert Mellman, senior U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase, forecasts that October’s job gains will be lower by about 35,000 because of cutbacks at government contractors and other companies affected by the shutdown. Many of those jobs will be regained in November. Growth is expected to rise slightly in the first three months of next year, as consumers and businesses make purchases and investments that were delayed during the shutdown. More in News An Anaheim tagging crew member accused of stabbing a 12-year-old rival to death testified on Monday that he acted in self-defense and denied claims by a prosecutor that he yelled “Die! Die! Die!” as he delivered the fatal blows.

Whoa, now this is a cool idea. The Emscripten guys are back at it again compiling LLVM itself to JavaScript to run in the browser. Now you can compile and run LLVM IR assembly directly in the browser using LLVM.js. Emscripten, for those that don’t know is an LLVM bytecode to JavaScript compiler. LLVM is a compiler backend for many languages like C and C++ via the Clang compiler, Objective-C and several others. Those compilers generate LLVM bytecode which LLVM normally compiles to native machine code, but Emscripten replaces that output with JavaScript instead, enabling programs written in any language supporting LLVM to be run wherever JavaScript runs. LLVM.js takes Emscripten a step further by compiling LLVM itself to JavaScript, using Emscripten (which uses LLVM). Whoa! This means that you can now compile and run LLVM assembly directly in JavaScript without installing the native LLVM tools. If language compilers supporting LLVM such as Clang were also compiled to JavaScript, you could compile and run C/C++ code directly in JavaScript as well. This is a very cool demo. I’m not sure how practical it really is to wait until runtime to compile your code rather than precompiling it, but it could be useful to avoid having to install the LLVM tools, or for platforms where the LLVM compiler cannot run (such as mobile operating systems). Check out the code on Github, and try your hand at LLVM assembly on the demo page.

The invention relates to an apparatus for feeding fuel from a supply container to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle as generically defined by the preamble to claim 1. One such apparatus is known from German Patent Disclosure DE 195 49 192. The fuel feed module described has a mushroom-shaped closing element in the bottom region of its suction container. This closing element is received in axially movable fashion. The mushroomlike part of the closing element spans an opening in the bottom of the suction container of the fuel feed module, by way of which the interior of the suction container of the fuel feed module communicates with the interior of a supply container. By its own weight, the closing element rests on the inside of the bottom of the suction container, spanning the opening, so that the opening is sealingly closed. When fuel is now introduced into the supply container, the fuel level in it rises, and as a result the static pressure acting on the underside of the closing element increases as well. This opens the valve, and fuel flows out of the supply container through the opening in the bottom of the suction container into the interior of the suction container. From the interior of the suction container, the fuel is delivered to the motor vehicle engine by means of a fuel feed module. So that fuel can be delivered to the engine by the fuel feed unit, it is therefore necessary for relatively large quantities of fuel to be introduced into the supply container, so that an adequately high static pressure can be built up to open the closing element and thus enable the fuel to flow into the interior of the suction container. A disadvantage of an initial-fill valve actuated by the static pressure is thus the relatively large quantity of fuel that must be fed into the supply container in order to actuate the initial-fill valve. It is therefore the object of the invention to create an apparatus for feeding fuel from a supply container to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle which in particular assures reliable initial filling of the fuel feed module after the final assembly of a motor vehicle the first time its tank is filled, or if the supply container has run empty, or only slight fuel quantities are present. This object is attained by an apparatus having the characteristics of claim 1. Expedient refinements are defined by the dependent claims. The apparatus according to the invention for feeding fuel from a supply container to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The apparatus has a fuel feed unit which on the intake side communicates with a suction container, communicating with the supply container, and on the pressure side communicates with the engine, and having a return line for feeding excess fuel into the suction container. In its bottom region the suction container has a closing element, which is movable between a first position, in which the suction container is opened relative to the supply container, and a second position, in which the suction container is closed relative to the supply container. According to the invention, the closing element has an actuating device, preferably a float body, which in particular at a low or zero fuel level in the supply container keeps the closing element in the first, open position, and which when at least enough fuel is located in the suction container so that the fuel feed unit can still furnish enough fuel to the engine, keeps the closing element in the second, closed position. One essential advantage of a closing element having an actuating device is that the sealing function and closing function of the closing element are decoupled from one another. This kind of closing element according to the invention, also known as an initial-fill valve, is connected to the actuating device in such a way that when the tank is empty, the closing element is opened. Accordingly, for actuating the initial-fill valve, there is no need for a static pressure to be built up. As a result, even when the slightest fuel quantities are introduced, an immediate inflow of fuel from the supply container into the interior of the suction container is assured. A further advantage of a closing element embodied in this way is that when the tank is empty, the initial-fill valve is kept in the open position, so that sticking effects at the sealing seat that would otherwise occur are eliminated. Especially with an actuating device that is controlled as a function of the fuel level in the supply tank, a precisely defined closing point of the closing element is settable or attainable. In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, the actuating device is embodied as a float body and is connected to the closing element. The closing element is attached to the bottom of the suction container of the fuel feed module in such a way that when no fuel is present, the closing element is located in the open position by its total mass, comprising the mass of the closing element itself and the mass of the float body, since in the absence of fuel the float body is not lent any buoyancy. The float body is dimensioned such that in the event that the float body is immersed in the fuel or surrounded by it, a buoyant force develops which is greater than the mass force exerted by the total mass of the closing element. As a result, the closing element is put in the closing position. The closing forces are greater, the larger the dimensions of the float body, because its buoyant force corresponds to the quantity of fuel positively displaced. One essential advantage of such an embodiment is also that a reliable sealing function of the closing element is thus attained, even if the sealing seat is dirty, since the buoyancy of the float body increases the sealing force, and the closing element is thus sealed off even better. The closing element is preferably embodied as a flap or umbrella valve, whose sealing function and closing function are decoupled by the fuel level-dependent positioning controlled by the float body. The term xe2x80x9cdecoupledxe2x80x9d should be understood in this context to mean on the one hand that the buildup of a static pressure from an adequately large quantity of fuel placed in the supply container does not actuate the closing element, and on the other that by the dimensioning of the float body, with the closing element already closed, as a consequence of the buoyancy of the float body located in the fuel, the sealing function of the closing element can be increased still further, if only the float body is dimensioned as large enough, thus making its buoyancy correspondingly great enough. In further exemplary embodiments, the float body is either secured directly in the closing element or is connected to the closing element via a lever, which is supported between the closing element and the float body. A substantial advantage of a float body connected directly to the closing element is that the entire closing element is structurally especially simple and thus functions reliably, especially in a failsafe manner. The substantial advantage of a closing element in which the float body is connected to the actual closing element via a lever is that by a suitable choice of the lever length and the position of the float body, which is preferably disposed displaceably on the lever in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the lever, is that the closing moment in particular and thus the sealing force of the closing element, embodied as an umbrella valve, can be designed to be settable. The closing element is preferably disposed on the bottom of the suction container in such a way that the umbrella of the umbrella valve is disposed on the outside of the bottom of the suction container, that is, the outside oriented toward the bottom of the supply container, while the float body is disposed in the interior of the suction container. However, it is also possible to dispose the closing element in the region of the bottom of the suction container, on its side wall, in which case the actuation of the closing element takes place via a float body connected to the closing element by a deflection lever. Along with the use of a size of the float body adapted to the particular location and desired sealing force of the closing element, it is also possible to provide an electromagnet, for instance, as the actuating element, the electromagnet being controlled as a function of the fuel level. For detecting the fuel level, in such a case, fuel fill level sensors of a type known per se should be provided. An actuating device of this kind has the advantage that the closing element is completely decoupled from the fuel level or from the quantity of fuel introduced.

That fondness for science, … that affability and condescension which God shows to the learned, that promptitude with which he protects and supports them in the elucidation of obscurities and in the removal of difficulties, has encouraged me to compose a short work on calculating by al-jabr and al-muqabala , confining it to what is easiest and most useful in arithmetic.

Press event: RIG headsets (Hoofddorp, The Netherlands) 28/11/2017, LifeisXbox was invited for the Plantronics gaming press event in The Netherlands. With an office tour, press conference with the RIG product portfolio and a hands on experience. Read about how Dae Jim experienced this day! 06u15 | Despite the early morning I was pretty excited to get up and start the day. After feeding my dogs, making sure I didn’t smell and checking my social feeds I started the journey to Plantronics. 11u37 | I finally arrived at Schiphol, this train and airport station is really impressive but sadly no time to check it out. We don’t want to miss our appointment after all. 11u51 | We finally arrived at the office from Plantronics. This is located at Park 20|20, a place where the environment is very important. (Read more about that HERE) 12u00 | After receiving our visitors pass and getting a warm welcome by the Plantronics people we are invited to grab a bite to eat. Sandwishes with cheese (and lots of garlic.. mmmmm!) Roastbeef and more. 12u38 | Having filled out our stomachs the tour around the office starts, it is immediately obvious that no money was spared to have a great working atmosphere, the place is full with nuances towards sound too. All very impressive and nothing like I’ve ever seen. 12u42 | It starts with a little history lesson, Plantronics was actually the supplier for NASA and was founded on 1961 by two adventurous pilots. The famous sentences “The Eagle has landed” and “… One giant leap for mankind” were transmitted through Plantronics equipment. This was called the Snoopy Headset. 13u20 | The interesting office tour has ended, we are invited by Gregory Morquin (Gaming Segment Manager EMEA at Plantronics) for the RIG product portfolio speech. This friendly French dude with good English (for real) explains in full detail what the inspiration for the RIG headsets is and how it benefits gamers. He also explains Doly Atmos and why the sound experience is so different and great. 13u59 | Time to get some hands on with Dolby Atmos and the RIG headsets. Overwatch is the first game I test, one thing I notice is how comfortable the RIG headsets are for people like me with glasses. Next game is Star Wars: Battlefront 2, it is honestly a great experience and very immersive with Dolby Atmos. We might have heard a lot of talk about how great it was, but actually experiencing it is something totally different. 15u20 | The hands on experience is over and an enjoyable day at Plantronics is coming to an end. The way home is long but it was really worth it. 21u01 | Back home, I unpack my officially licensed review RIG 800LX for Xbox One. The packaging is nicely done (as you can see in the image), while it might not be a reason to buy this headset it is pleasant to see that Plantronics spend love and attention to packaging too. “Dolby Atmos is currently exclusive for Xbox One and Windows 10 and trust me when I say that this is something that greatly benefits gamers and enriches a game immensely!” – Dae Jim

Comparison of novel physiological load-adaptive control strategies for ventricular assist devices. Terminal heart failure (HF) is the most prevalent cause of death in the Western world and the implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has become the gold standard therapy today. Most of the actually implanted devices are driven at a constant speed (CS) regardless of the patient's physiological demand. A new physiological controller [power ratio (PR) controller], which keeps a constant ratio between LVAD power and left ventricular power, a previous concept [preload responsive speed (PRS) controller], which adds a variable LVAD power to reach a defined stroke work, and a CS controller were compared with an unimpaired ventricle in a full heart computer simulation model. The effects of changes in preload, afterload and left ventricular contractility are displayed by global hemodynamics and ventricular pressure-volume loops. Both physiological controllers demonstrated the desired load dependency, whereas the PR controller exceeded the PRS controller in response to an increased load and contractility. Response was inferior when preload or contractility was decreased. Thus, the PR controller might lead to an increased exercise tolerance of the patient. Additional studies are required to evaluate the controllers in vivo.

Q: How to insert characters in the middle of every two consecutive repeating characters? I have a file like this: user$ cat -t file 0.1^I^I^I0.2 I wish to edit the file so that every time two consecutive tabs appear, the characters "NA" are inserted in the middle of the two tabs. The number of consecutive tab characters that could appear is arbitrary (in this example there are three tabs in succession but it could be two or more than three). I've tried doing this with sed (BSD sed): user$ cat -t <(sed $'s/\t\t/\tNA\t/g' file) But this only inserts the desired characters in the middle of the first two consecutive tabs yielding this output: 0.1^INA^I^I0.2 I also need the characters to be inserted in the middle of the second pair of consecutive tabs in order to get this output: 0.1^INA^INA^I0.2 Would prefer to use sed for this, but other tools such as awk or perl could be used. A: The problem is that sed doesn't do overlapping matches. We need to repeat the substitution until all matches have been made. Thus, try: $ cat -t <(sed ':a; s/\t\t/\tNA\t/g; ta' file) 0.1^INA^INA^I0.2 Consider \t\t\t. The substitution command matches the first \t\t and replaces it with \tNA\t. The problem is that, with the g option, the next substitution can only start after those first two tabs. Overlapping substitutions are not supported. That is why we need to add the label and branching commands as above. How it works :a This creates a label a. s/\t\t/\tNA\t/g This does the substitution you want. ta If the preceding substitution command successfully made a substitution, this tells sed to jump back to label a. Consequently, the substitution command will be repeated as many times as necessary. BSD Version With thanks to mikekatz45, the BSD version is: cat -t <(sed -e :a -e $'s/\t\t/\tNA\t/g' -e ta file) Note that, while the $'...' construct is not POSIX, it will work under bash, ksh, and zsh.

Sen. Daniel Inouye Dies At 88, As Senate Loses Its Most Senior Member Sen. Daniel Inouye (left), who died at 88 Monday, served as the chairman of the Senate committee investigating the Iran-Contra affair in 1986. Chris Wilkins / AFP/Getty Images Originally published on December 17, 2012 6:48 pm Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, 88, has died of respiratory complications, according to reports from the AP and other news agencies. The World War II veteran, a Democrat, had been the most senior member of the Senate. He joined its ranks in 1963, shortly after Hawaii became a state. At the time of his death, Inouye was the president pro tempore, placing him third in the line of succession, behind Vice President Biden and the House speaker. He was also the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. According to the senator's staff, he died at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, just after 5 p.m. ET. "When asked in recent days how he wanted to be remembered, Dan said, very simply, 'I represented the people of Hawaii and this nation honestly and to the best of my ability. I think I did OK.'" His last words, according to the statement, were simply, "Aloha." For many Americans, Inouye's tenure in the Senate will forever be tied to the way he comported himself during two controversial episodes, both of which played out before a national television audience. He served on the Watergate Commission that investigated the infamous burglary in the early 1970s, an inquiry that led to many indictments and ultimately the resignation of President Richard Nixon. And in 1986, Inouye led the Iran-Contra Committee that investigated the illegal funneling of weapons. Throughout those tumultuous events, Inouye won praise for maintaining a sense of equilibrium and an unbiased interest in the truth. In a 2011 NPR interview marking the 70th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, Inouye was asked by Tell Me More host Michel Martin if there were "an issue today that you would like to speak on that you would like people to be thinking about?" Here is the answer he gave: "The lesson is one that should be repeated time and again, that we do have an extraordinary Constitution. We do have extraordinary sets of laws, but I have found that, in the history of mankind, whenever there's a crisis like that of a war, some of the leaders set them aside and forget it. For example, I think the law was rather clear about placing 120,000 Japanese in what we call concentration camps and we had committed no crime. All properties were lost. Our freedom was lost. "But there is greatness in this because, after the war, the United States of America was strong enough to admit wrong. When confronted, they said, yes. We did something wrong. We apologize and we want to make redress. "Very few countries would do this. They try their best to deny, but not the United States and for that, I'm very proud of my country." Inouye ended that interview the way he ended many conversations — by saying "Aloha." The decorated war veteran had volunteered for the military as a teenager. He served in Europe as part of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, an experience that he recounted for the Ken Burns documentary The War. During a battle in Italy, Inouye's right arm became the casualty of a charge against German machine guns. As a recent article in USA Today describes, "In the hospital recovering from his war wounds, Inouye met a fellow soldier named Bob Dole. The two men forged a friendship there, and later they worked together in the Senate when Dole was the Senate Republican leader from Kansas." According to his staff, Inouye is survived by "his wife, Irene Hirano Inouye, his son Daniel Ken Inouye Jr., Ken's wife Jessica, and granddaughter Maggie and step-daughter Jennifer Hirano. He was preceded in death his first wife, Maggie Awamura." Copyright 2012 National Public Radio. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.

A rapid solid phase assay for the detection of circulating immune complexes. A simplified process, which we have termed Enzyme Immune Complex Assay (EICATM) for the detection of circulating immune complexes (CICs), is described herein. The method utilizes readily available reagents, small quantities of serum, and can be performed quickly with a minimal amount of equipment. Serum from 38 normal controls, 98 burn patients, 36 frostbite injury patients, and 21 patients with elevated rheumatoid factor (RF) were tested for CICs in an immune function study. Elevated immune complex levels were found in the group of patients with frostbite injury, and in the group with elevated RF. Serum from thermally injured patients had slightly depressed yet normal CIC levels. The detection of elevated CICs by the EICATM method compared favorably with the more cumbersome Raji cell method, with the added advantage of simplicity, speed, and the ability to detect non-IgG immune complexes.

Q: How do I set the order of nodes for a SLURM job? I have a slurm setup with various partitions. In my slurm.conf, I have a list of computers that can run the jobs for my partition, eg. PartitionName=hi Nodes=rack[0-4],pc1,pc2 MaxTime=INFINITE State=UP Priority=1000 PreemptMode=off pc1 and pc2 have 3 cores available, the racks have 4 cores each. If I submit 4 jobs at once, it will allocate 3 to pc1 and 1 to pc2. I would like to alter the order that these are allocated. Specifically, I would like them to go on the racks first, then pc2, then pc1. Any thoughts? Ta, James A: Use the weight parameter in slurm.conf when defining your nodes From the manpage: Weight The priority of the node for scheduling purposes. All things being equal, jobs will be allocated the nodes with the lowest weight which satisfies their requirements. So for instance set weight=1000 for pc4, weight=100 for pc3 and weight=10 for the racks.

Q: Does cutting an open space not increase the number of holes Say you have some open connected subset $B \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and you "cut" it by some open half space $C$ to produce two new open spaces $B_1$ and $B_2$. "Cutting" means to take the intersection of $B$ and $C$ to produce $B_1$ and to take the intersection of $B$ and the interior of the compliment of $C$ to produce $B_2$. More formally: $$B_1 = B \cap C$$ $$B_2 = B \cap \bar{\,C\,}^{\circ}$$ (I had to invent this definition; if there is an agreed upon name/definition for this please tell me) Is it the case that that the total number of holes in $B_1$ and $B_2$ is less than or equal to the number of holes in $B$? This feels intuitively true to me. Slicing a nice loaf of bread in two eliminates holes in the two spaces. My slightly more formal thinking is that if is a hole in $B$ then it has some set of non-contractible paths around it. If all of those paths are cut in half (the paths go along points that do not lie exclusively in either $B_1$ or $B_2$) then a hole is eliminated from $B_1$ and $B_2$ so the total number of holes decreases. If the cut leaves one contractible path (there's a path that lies in either $B_1$ or $B_2$ around that hole in $B$ then that hole is left in one of the two so the number at the very least does not decrease. A: You should read about the Mayer-Vietoris sequence for homology groups. Using it one can show that $$ b_{n-1}(B)\ge b_{n-1}(B_1) + b_{n-1}(B_2), $$ where $b_i$'s are the $i$-th Betti numbers. If $C$ is bounded by the hyperplane $H\subset {\mathbb R}^n$ then the tail of the MV sequence (over ${\mathbb R}$) becomes $$ 0=H_{n-1}(B\cap H) \to H_{n-1}(B_1) \oplus H_{n-1}(B_1) \to H_{n-1}(B) \to ... $$ This implies the inequality above. Note that, intuitively speaking, $b_{n-1}$ counts the number of holes in an open subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$. On the other hand, if you are interested in $b_1$ (per your comment), then one can construct examples where $b_1(B)=0$ (actually, $B$ is topologically an open ball) while $b_1(B_1)>0, b_1(B_2)>0$, already in the case $n=3$. Edit. To get a specific example, take the graph $y=\cos(x), -2\pi\le x\le 2\pi$ and rotate it about the $y$-axis in the 3-space. Thicken the resulting surface. It is your $B$. It looks like the baking dish below (minus the two small handles) when viewed up side down. Now, cut it via the $xz$-plane. (On the picture this will be a horizontal plane cutting the dish in the middle.) Then $b_1(B)=0$, $b_1(B_1)=b_1(B_2)=1$. (Note that one of the $B_i$'s will be disconnected.)

1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to a connector, a set of connectors and connecting a method. 2. Description of the Related Art U.S. Pat. No. 5,476,390 discloses a lever-type connector with male and female housings. A lever is mounted rotatably on the female housing and has a cam groove that is engageable with a cam pin on the male housing. The lever initially is held at a starting position and the male housing is positioned so that the cam pin faces the entrance of the cam groove. The lever then is rotated to move the cam pin along the cam groove. As a result, the housings are pulled toward and connected with each other. Thus, the connector takes advantage of the leverage action of the lever and connects the housings with a smaller force. Some of lever-type connectors have an erroneous connection preventing means for preventing connection of the female and male housings in a wrong combination. The erroneous connection preventing means includes a rib extending in a connecting direction on one housing and a groove on the mating housing for receiving the rib. The positions of the rib and the groove differ for each pair of housings so that the male and female housings can be connected only in a correct combination. The rib is displaced from the groove if an attempt is made to connect the male and female housings in a wrong combination. Thus, the rib contacts an end surface of the mating housing to prevent the connection. A cam pin that is at the entrance to the cam groove may interfere with an edge of the cam groove and may damage the lever if an operator tries to turn the lever in a state where connection of the housings is prevented. The present invention was developed in view of the above problem and an object thereof is to provide prevent a connector from being damaged upon erroneously connecting a male and a female connector housings.

Q: Installing git documentation packages on RHEL 5 I am trying to install git 1.8.1 on a RHEL 5 system, and I am having a ton of difficulty dealing with the documentation portion of the build. Namely, asciidoc. There are problems with the Docbook being really outdated on RHEL5. So, I would like the use the make quick-install-doc, make quick-install-man and make quick-install-html commands that are specified in the installation readme file. However, I have absolutely no clue where to actually download the files to make this happen. According to the readme: To use these build targets, you need to clone two separate git-htmldocs and git-manpages repositories next to the clone of git itself. Where exactly are the "git-htmldocs" and "git-manpages" located? EDIT: I think I found the location of where to get it. This git url is for the man pages: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-manpages.git This git url is for the html pages: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-htmldocs.git I also found them at this Google Code site: http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list Now... How do I install them? I don't understand what it means when it says: "next to the clone of git itself". Does this mean in the git source directory, or directly outside of it? A: I figured it out! These are the instructions for doing it on RHEL 5 for the version 1.8.1: What you need to do is first build and install git using the commands: $ make prefix=/usr all $ sudo make prefix=/usr install Once that is installed and done, you then need to cd outside of the git source code directory, and clone the docs: $ cd ../ $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-manpages.git $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-htmldocs.git Next, you then need to navigate back into the git source code directory, and run the commands: $ sudo make prefix=/usr quick-install-doc $ sudo make prefix=/usr quick-install-html Doing this installed the man pages, and the html page documentation!

Interobserver reliability in Pirani clubfoot severity scoring between a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon and a physiotherapy assistant. The Ponseti method, now regarded as the standard of care for congenital clubfoot, is equally effective whether provided by orthopaedic surgeons or orthopaedic paramedics. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for under-resourced nations with lack of surgeons and physicians. At the Sudan Clubfoot Clinic, physiotherapy assistants (3-year diploma nurses with additional physiotherapy experience) are part of the Ponseti clubfoot treatment team, with the role of assessing the degree of deformity by the Pirani score to assist the team in providing treatment. However, the reliability of Pirani scores measured by physiotherapy assistants in this context is unknown. After obtaining informed consent, we measured the interobserver reliability between a physiotherapy assistant and an orthopaedic surgeon in measuring Pirani scores in 91 virgin clubfeet in 54 infants (41 males and 13 females) at the Sudan Clubfoot Clinic. Scores were measured independently before the onset of treatment and analysed by the κ statistic for interobserver reliability. The κ statistic was 0.61 for posterior crease, 0.72 for empty heel, 0.51 for rigid equinus, 0.54 for the hid-foot score, 0.57 for medial crease, 0.54 for curved lateral border, 0.56 for lateral head of talus, 0.50 for the midfoot score and 0.50 for the total score. The mean percentage of agreement of both observers for all Pirani components was 83%. We found moderate to substantial interobserver reliability for the Pirani clubfoot severity score and all its subcomponents. Properly trained physiotherapy assistants are efficient in assessing the degree of severity of clubfoot. This is particularly useful in developing countries, where orthopaedic surgeons are few. Clubfoot treatment can be made more affordable by using paramedical healthcare workers such as physiotherapy assistants.

The Great Recession and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, arguably the toughest problems we’ve confronted in decades, are nothing if not spectacularly complicated. Trying to size up these puzzles is like gaping at a homemade contraption that has mysteriously evolved into something even its designers can no longer fathom, let alone operate and dismantle. Is there an owner’s manual for this thing? Can it be unplugged? If we figure out where it’s getting fuel, can we starve it and hope it expires? Look at the military’s PowerPoint slide of the Afghanistan war, a labyrinth of cross-thatching lines and arrows swirling around words like INSURGENTS and COALITION CAPACITY & PRIORITIES. “When we understand this slide,” said Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, who leads the American effort in Afghanistan, “we’ll have won the war.” At the same time, we’re learning more about the financial instruments that caused our economic collapse, and it’s now clear that “exotic,” the adjective of choice, won’t suffice. Synthetic collateralized debt obligations are impenetrable on purpose, built for maximum opacity. They’re also lethal mysteries to companies like A.I.G., an insurance firm whose supposed expertise is assessing risk. A.I.G. needed an $85 billion government loan to remain solvent. You sense that the march toward complexity has turned into a sprint in the debate about health care reform and even the gargantuan oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, challenges so baroque, and with so many disparate and moving parts, the best you can do is hope that someone in charge understands them. Complexity used to signify progress — it was the frisson of a new gadget, the riddle of some advance in technology. Now complexity lurks behind the most expensive and intractable issues of our age. It’s the pet that grew fangs and started eating the furniture. Of course, a nagging sense of incomprehension is a perennial feature of the human experience. When a character in “The Winter’s Tale” describes a spectacle that “lames report to follow it and undoes description to do it,” Shakespeare is talking about the reunion of King Leontes and a daughter presumed dead for many years. But the sentiment works just as well as a reaction to events preceding the Troubled Asset Relief Program. The difference is that Shakespeare’s speakers tend to marvel at natural mysteries, and when confronting them the playwright seems to endorse a certain humility. Today, our mysteries are self-created, and humility seems like a response we can’t afford. “Are We Doomed?” read the headline to an article in New Scientist, a British magazine that last year took a long look at complexity. (Spoiler alert: maybe.) There is a lot of end-of-days talk when it comes to this subject. You will find a strain of it in the work of Joseph Tainter, an anthropologist at the Utah State University and the author of “The Collapse of Complex Societies.” In the book, Mr. Tainter examines three ancient civilizations, including the Roman Empire, and explains how complexity drove them to ruin, essentially by bankrupting them. Does he look at the complexity of the problems facing the United States and see doom? Possibly. “Complexity creeps up on you,” he said in an interview. “It grows in ways, each of which seems reasonable at the time. It seemed reasonable at the time that we went into Afghanistan. It’s the cumulative costs that makes a society insolvent. Everything the Roman emperors did was a reasonable response in the situation that they found themselves in. It was the cumulative impact that did them in.” Mr. Tainter isn’t peddling the nostalgic charms of simplicity, which is wise because there aren’t a lot of people who would buy it. Unless the subject is TV remote controls, most Americans have a fondness for complexity, or at least for ideas and objects that are hard to understand. In part that is because we assume complicated products come from sharp, impressive minds, and in part it’s because we understand that complexity is a fancy word for progress. Photo Credit Christoph Niemann Just about every profession has become more complicated in recent decades. The sheer volume of data and rules that must be grasped by a certified public accountant, for instance, has exploded, says Gary Giroux, a professor of accounting at Texas A.& M. The bible of the business is the portentously named “Original Pronouncements,” a book that at its heftiest a few years ago ran to roughly 10,000 pages. A century ago, Mr. Giroux says, there were no accounting courses, let alone “Original Pronouncements,” because accountants were just guys who double-checked the math of corporations to ensure there wasn’t internal fraud. What happened? “There was no income tax until 1913,” he says, “and before the New Deal, there was no Securities and Exchange Commission.” It’s been fashionable for some time to bash accounting for its encyclopedic list of rules and standards, which is perhaps why a public relations rep at the Financial Accounting Standards Board can come across as a little defensive when asked about the size of the group’s most famous door-stopping tome. But you can’t understand where all those regs came from without realizing that they made possible, and mirrored, the growth of the economy. Which gets to the worrisome part of the complexity of problems we face today. Instead of improving our lives, it’s vexing them. What we need, suggests Brenda Zimmerman, a professor at Schulich School of Business in Ontario, is a distinction between the complicated and the complex. It’s complicated, she says, to send a rocket to the moon — it requires blueprints, math and a lot of carefully calibrated hardware and expertly written software. Raising a child, on the other hand, is complex. It is an enormous challenge, but math and blueprints won’t help. Performing hip replacement surgery, she says, is complicated. It takes well-trained personnel, precision and carefully calibrated equipment. Running a health care system, on the other hand, is complex. It’s filled with thousands of parts and players, all of whom must act within a fluid, unpredictable environment. To run a system that is complex, it’s not enough to get the right people and the ideal equipment. It takes a set of simple principles that guide and shape the system. For instance: Teach everyone the best practices of doctors who are really good at hip replacement surgery. “We get seduced by the complicated in Western society,” Ms. Zimmerman says. “We’re in awe of it and we pull away from the duty to ask simple questions, which we do whenever we deal with matters that are complex.” Those complicated financial instruments that helped bludgeon the economy, she says, should have been subjected to elemental tests: Is this good for consumers? What are the risks involved? Of course, nobody at Goldman Sachs or any other large financial institution meant to wreck the economy. The United States military didn’t invade Iraq or Afghanistan thinking that one day its efforts would be mounted on a bewildering PowerPoint slide. The engineers who designed the BP oil platform that exploded and sank and produced one of the largest oil spills in history built it with multiple back-up systems. But complexity has a way of defeating good intentions. As we clean up these messes, there is no point in hoping for a new age of simplicity. The best we can do is hope the solutions are just complicated enough to work. Correction: May 9, 2010 An article last Sunday on the complexity of the issues of our age misidentified the university where Joseph Tainter, the author of a book on complexity, is an anthropologist. It is Utah State University, not the University of Utah.

The bladder does not appear to have a dynamic secreted continuous mucous gel layer. We determined whether the nature of any protective barrier in the bladder is composed of a secreted mucous gel layer. We collected 24-hour urine samples for analysis from 8 healthy 22 to 49-year-old volunteers and 5, 19 to 59-year-old patients treated with bladder reconstruction, in addition to scrapings from 100 freshly slaughtered pig bladders. Samples were subjected to homogenization, dialysis, freeze-drying, papain digestion, gel chromatography, equilibrium density gradient centrifugation, periodic acid-Schiff assay and amino acid analysis. Normal human bladder, pig bladder, normal ileum and transposed intestinal segments were studied for the presence of a mucous layer using a new method of histological analysis. Mucin content in normal urine is 2.7 mg/24 hours, meaning that less than 0.6% of nondialyzable material in normal urine is mucin. The mucin content of urine from reconstructed bladders amounted to 86 mg/24 hours (5.2% of nondialyzable material). We observed that glycosaminoglycans accounted for 41% of the peak total elution volume of PAS positive material in normal urine. Mucin estimation in urine can be grossly overestimated if contaminating glycoconjugates are not removed. Biochemical analysis of material scraped off the pig bladder surface demonstrated that the maximum thickness of a continuous layer that could be achieved was 13.6 mum. While we could visualize an obvious mucous layer on control ileal samples and biopsies of transposed ileal segments from patients with bladder reconstruction, we were unable to note a distinct, measurable mucous layer lining the bladder surface in humans or pigs. Mucin levels in normal human and pig urine would be enough for slow turnover of a thin barrier but the large increase in mucin in the urine of patients with transposed intestinal segments demonstrates that any layer in normal bladder is much different than that lining the transposed intestinal segment. The most likely constituents of this barrier are membrane bound rather than secreted mucins along with the proteoglycan components of the glycocalix.

Winding beneath the magnificent halls of St. Petersburg’s Hermitage Museum, with its Da Vincis, diamonds, Greek statuary, Egyptian parchments, enormous number of paintings, mechanical peacock clock, and other treasures, there is a catacomb of cellars. It was into this windowless nether region—far below the Winter Palace’s expansive view of the waters of the Neva—that Maria Haltunen and I had cautiously descended. As I followed her through a narrow, imperfectly-lit corridor, full of large pipes and jutting wires, Haltunen gasped. “Look!” she said. In the semi-darkness, a little being had appeared. He perched, a foot-tall shadow, on a water pipe. “Oh, you are a fat one!” said Haltunen, jangling the chain of her I.D. pass like a talisman as she approached the pointy-eared creature. “How nice you are!” The cat sat, perfectly still. Then he vanished. “Some of them like to be around people,” said Haltunen, who has been the personal assistant to the museum’s director for the last eighteen years and, in addition to her regular duties, also serves as the museum’s semi-official Press Secretary to the Cats. She peered behind the pipes to see where the creature had gone, but found only a blanket, tucked against the wall, and a bowl. “Some of them prefer to be by themselves.” Once a motley crew of frightened strays hiding, half-starving, in the palace’s basement, the Hermitage’s cats are now a well-loved, well-fed part of the museum’s family. Some seventy former street cats live at the Hermitage, where, thanks largely to Haltunen’s efforts, they have their very own underground cat infirmary and three full-time volunteers to care for them. Underground, in their domain, there were signs of them—tiger-striped cat beds, bright pink and blue plastic bowls, places where the heating system’s pipes had been covered in soft, flowered material so that the cats could nest there. Now and then, a pair of bright eyes glanced out from a shaft; in a fenced-off corner, beneath blue and red water pipes, sprawled a little black kitten with white paws. As we passed, he jumped up, sprightly, and sidled out of the off-limits area. “Our director is always saying they are the spirit of the place,” said Haltunen. “The museum’s genius loci.” It wasn’t always this way. Fifteen years ago, Haltunen came upon the cats, sheltering in beleaguered prides in the museum’s heating system. Troubled by the animals’ plight, she and a colleague started feeding them, donning maintenance uniforms and lugging leftovers from the cantina to do the rounds of the extensive basements each day after work. “It was awful, after working all day, to put on ugly clothes, to carry stinky beans through these dark basements,” said the diminutive Haltunen, who, with her large, bright eyes and button nose is not entirely un-catlike, herself. “But if you start, you can’t stop.” Then, they decided to organize. They took up a collection—“A rouble for a cat”—and used it to buy food. Newspaper articles appeared. People became interested. The museum’s director gave them permission to use some little rooms in the basement to keep ill and elderly cats, and hooked up running water. “You know how it is,” said Haltunen, “You see a problem, and then you have to do something.” In theory, the cats now form a fanged, clawed army with one goal: to catch and kill mice who might want to chew on the artworks. In practice, “they are fat and lazy,” said Haltunen, with evident pride. (A security guard once took a picture of one looking on, in astonishment, as a rat drank from his bowl of milk.) Still, according to Haltunen, when an exterminator came, they found fewer rat corpses afterwards than usual. She says that the mere presence of the cats, their bodies and smells, serves as a deterrent. There have been cats in the palace since Peter the Great’s daughter, Empress Elizabeth, issued a decree, in 1745, that the biggest cats, capable of catching mice, be sent immediately from Kazan to the court of her imperial majesty. Catherine the Great is thought to have favored Russian Blues as indoor palace cats; under the last Czar, the royal family’s pet cats, who were left behind in the palace, fared better than the dogs, who were taken along to Yekaterinburg with the family to their deaths. During the three-year siege of Leningrad, all of the animals in the city died—except for the rats, said to have been so numerous as to form a gray, moving mass in the streets. When the blockade was lifted, Haltunen said, as we continued our walk beneath the museum, Russians sent their cats to the city to help fight the vermin. Stepping into the little cat hospital, a cozy, cluttered space that the oldest and sickest cats call home, Haltunen greeted Irina Popovetz, one of the volunteers who looks after the cats. Then she greeted Kusya (“Oh, this one has no tail!”), Jacqueline (“Look how fat we are!”), Sofiko (“You are very old!), and Assol, a tabby named for an impoverished literary heroine who waited at the seaside for a man sailing a ship with scarlet sails to come for her. Taking a seat in the warm, pungent room and stroking Sofiko, she explained that, thanks to in part to donations from the German society Pro Animale and the pet-food company Purina, there is now an official Hermitage “cat account”—which always in the black. However, the cats are not just charity cases: last year marked the first official “Catfest,” in which all the entries for a contest for the best cat painting (there were nearly three hundred, mostly submitted by children) were exhibited for a day in the basement. For the second annual Catfest, held this spring, a scavenger hunt for children in the museum led to the museum’s only cat mummy, put on display that day only. Catfest was so popular that there is talk of extending it to two days next year. “We were astonished,” said Haltunen. “Crowds come to our dirty basement! It is really popular.” The cats themselves, who are no longer afraid of people, have a positive effect on staff morale, she said. “People here become kinder, because they have the possibility to show this kindness,” said Haltunen, as we made our way back outside, where an orange cat was asleep in the sun beneath a classical statue. “It is very good when you have the possibility to show your best qualities.” While cats are not allowed in the galleries or in the museum director’s wing, the people-loving felines have free rein in the former apartments of the ladies-in-waiting, where staff offices are now located. In the deputy of security’s office, “Little Hooligan,” a kitten abandoned in the countryside, where a security worker saved her from being used to train someone’s dog, was drinking milk under the Xerox machine. Frida, a black cat found in the garbage, posed on top of the bookshelf like a nineteenth-century Parisian lithograph, though—according to the photographic evidence that was immediately produced—she still likes to sleep in plastic bags. Niko, who looks like a mini-tigress, was fast asleep on a desk, with her tongue out (the desk’s putative owner assured us that this was no problem: grabbing hold of the sleeping cat’s long, bushy tail, the woman said that whenever she needed to sign anything, she just dips the tip in ink). “People from Western countries, they say unfortunately they cannot permit cats in their offices,” said Haltunen, looking around, contentedly. “We are very lucky here.” Photograph by Dmitry Lovetsky/AP.

I hunger and thirst for The love You bring to me For Your soothing love Upon my soul. And the more I am filled The more hungry I become, The more I drink The thirstier I become. My soul grows Constantly expanding As it is filled with Your love. And not a day goes by That You don't come and feed And give me drink. Re: Jesus Our Lord And God Deuteronomy 8:3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.

Q: There is an error while using System.out.println when both text and variables I am a beginner in Java so I wrote a program to understand the OOP concepts but it gives me an error when trying to use System.out.println(). Here's the code public static void main(String[] args) { sampleClass ADD = new sampleClass(); Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int fNum; int sNum; System.out.println("Enter the first number to Add"); fNum = input.nextInt(); System.out.println("Now enter the second number"); sNum = input.nextInt(); int sum; sum = ADD.add(fNum, sNum); System.out.println("The sum of " fNum " and " sNum " is " sum); } A: Replace this line System.out.println("The sum of " fNum " and " sNum " is " sum); with System.out.println("The sum of " +fNum+ " and " +sNum+ " is " +sum); Please Note: In Java, the operator "+" normally acts as an arithmetic operator unless one of its operands is a String. If necessary it converts the other operand to a String before joining the second operand to the end of the first operand. Examples: If one of the operands is not a String it will be converted: int age = 12; System.out.println("My age is " + age);

Release Detail July 26, 2000 - Gore, Bush Locked In Tight Race In New Jersey, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Abortion Is A Key For Top Candidate, Not Running Mate Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush are locked in a tight race among New Jersey voters, with 46 percent for Gore and 41 percent for Bush, according to a Quinnipiac University Poll released today. The results are virtually unchanged from a June 28 poll by the independent Quinnipiac University, when Gore edged Bush 45 - 40 percent. If the Reform Party's Pat Buchanan and the Green Party's Ralph Nader are in the race, Gore gets 42 percent to 38 percent for Bush, with 2 percent for Buchanan and 7 percent for Nader. From July 19 - 24, Quinnipiac University surveyed 910 New Jersey registered voters, with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percent. "As the Vice President in a prosperous and contented America, Gore should be doing much better than this. Now he will need to deliver a superb performance at the convention," said Quinnipiac University Political Science Professor Scott McLean. "New Jersey voters are familiar with Bush and Gore, but many still have mixed feelings about them. The reason voters seem eager to watch the conventions is that they hope to figure out where the parties and candidates stand on the issues." Gore's favorability among New Jersey voters is 39 - 34 percent, with 25 percent mixed and 2 percent saying they haven't heard enough to form an opinion. This compares with Gore's 33 - 33 percent favorability rating in the June 28 Quinnipiac University poll. Bush's favorability is 35 - 36 percent, with 26 percent mixed and 3 percent saying they haven't heard enough to form an opinion. He had a slightly negative 30 - 34 percent favorability June 28. Of the 73 percent of New Jersey voters who say they will watch at least some of the Republican Convention next week, 57 percent say they are most interested in speeches about where the party stands on major issues. Of the 67 percent of voters who say they will watch the Democratic Convention next month, 62 percent say they also are most interested in speeches about major issues. Only 26 percent of New Jersey voters want to see the Supreme Court`s Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion overturned, while 68 percent do not want it reversed. It is very important that a presidential candidate share their opinion on abortion, according to 40 percent of New Jersey voters, while 39 percent say it is somewhat important and 20 percent say it is not important at all. Those who say a candidate's stand on abortion is very important support Gore 51 - 29 percent. If Bush had chosen a Vice Presidential candidate who supports legalized abortion, 15 percent of voters would be more likely to vote Republican, while 15 percent would be less likely and 66 percent say it would make no difference in how they vote. "If Bush had selected a pro-choice running mate, it would not have made a difference in New Jersey, where people look at the presidential candidate's abortion position, not at number two. Besides, he would likely lose one Republican for every independent he might win over - so why should he gamble with his base and gain no advantage?" Dr. McLean said. The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, conducts public opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut as a public service and for research. 2.

Q: \fill left of a node using the positioning library How can I position a \fill relative to a node? I would position a node in the following way, using the positioning library: \node (mynode) at (2,4) {text}; \node [left=of mynode] {o}; But if I try the same with a filled circle: \node (mynode) at (2,4) {text}; \fill [left=of mynode] circle (1); The circle is centered at origin with no warnings or error messages. A: positioning library helps you to position nodes. If you want to use it, you can use a circular node or fix a coordinate node which can be used for further reference. Here you have both examples. If you use a node be careful because it's minimum size is its diameter but you must also consider its inner sep. \documentclass[tikz,border=2mm]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{positioning} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \node[draw] at (2,4) (mynode) {text}; \node [circle, fill=red, left=of mynode, anchor=center, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=6pt] {}; \begin{scope}[yshift=-1cm] \node[draw] at (2,4) (mynode) {text}; \coordinate [left=of mynode] (aux); \fill[green] (aux) circle (3pt); \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

Pharmacogenomics of CYP2D6: molecular genetics, interethnic differences and clinical importance. CYP2D6 has received intense attention since the beginning of the pharmacogenetic era in the 1970s. This is because of its involvement in the metabolism of more than 25% of the marketed drugs, the large geographical and inter-ethnic differences in the genetic polymorphism and possible drug-induced toxicity. Many interesting reviews have been published on CYP2D6 and this review aims to reinstate the importance of the genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6 in different populations as well as some clinical implications and important drug interactions.

In a refrigerant cycle device for a vehicle described in JP-A-2000-335232, a variable displacement mechanism is provided for changing a discharge capacity (displacement) of a compressor based on a control signal from an exterior. In this refrigerant cycle device, when a controller determines an accelerating state of the vehicle engine, the compressor is stopped for a predetermined time, and thereafter, the variable displacement mechanism is set at a partial capacity state so that the compressor operates with a partial discharge capacity. After the compressor operates with the partial discharge capacity, the compressor operates with 100% discharge capacity. Accordingly, immediately after an accelerating start of the vehicle engine, the compressor driving power by the vehicle engine becomes zero, and the accelerating property of the vehicle can be improved. Then, because the compressor operates with the partial discharge capacity, a refrigerant circulating amount in the refrigerant cycle device can be maintained at a predetermined flow amount, thereby reducing a temperature increase in air blown into a vehicle compartment. However, according to studies of the present inventors, the following problem may be caused in this control of the compressor. FIG. 8 shows a swash-plate type compressor 2 having a variable displacement mechanism (control valve) 15. The variable displacement mechanism 15 adjusts the pressure in a crank chamber 22 so as to change a tilted angle of a swash plate 21 and control the discharge capacity of the compressor 2. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, the variable displacement mechanism (control valve) 15 includes a valve body 15b and an electromagnetic coil 15a for pushing the valve body 15b, and is connected to the crank chamber 22, a discharge chamber 24 and a suction chamber 23 through passages 25 in the compressor 2. In the variable displacement mechanism 15, by using a balance between the pushing force Pf of the electromagnetic coil 15a and the suction pressure Ps from the suction chamber 23, the open degree of the valve body 15b positioned in the passage 25 between the crank chamber 22 and the discharge chamber 24 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the pressure Pc of the crank chamber 22. For example, when the suction pressure Ps is larger than a predetermined pressure value, the valve body 15b moves in a valve-closing direction. In this case, the passage 25 from the discharge chamber 24 to the crank chamber 22 becomes in a shutting state, thereby the discharge capacity becomes larger and the suction pressure Ps is lowered. In contrast, when the suction pressure Ps is smaller than the predetermined pressure value, the valve body 15b moves in a valve-opening direction. In this case, high-pressure refrigerant flows from the discharge chamber 24 to the crank chamber 22, thereby the discharge capacity becomes smaller and the suction pressure Ps is increased. As a result, the suction pressure Ps can approach a predetermined value. Because the compressor 2 has the above characteristics, a necessary discharge capacity of the compressor 2, to be controlled in accordance with a thermal load of an evaporator, is different, and the driving power of the compressor 2 is also different, even when the control current value is made the same. For example, when the thermal load of the evaporator is small, the suction pressure Ps becomes lower, In this case, the necessary discharge capacity of the compressor 2 is small, and the driving power of the compressor 2 becomes small. In contrast, when the thermal load of the evaporator is large, the suction pressure Ps becomes higher, In this case, the necessary discharge capacity of the compressor 2 for obtaining the suction pressure Ps is large, and the driving power of the compressor 2 becomes large. Thus, at a time where the accelerating control of the vehicle engine is performed, when the thermal load is changed, the compressor driving power is not determined only in accordance with a decrease of the control current. For example, if the control current is lowered when the thermal load is small, the discharge capacity may be excessively lowered. In this case, a time for increasing the discharge capacity after this control becomes longer, and unpleasant feeling may be given to an occupant in a vehicle compartment. In contrast, if the control current is lowered when the thermal load is large, the discharge capacity of the compressor cannot be sufficiently decreased, and consumed power of the vehicle engine cannot be effectively reduced.

Tunable multiwavelength fiber laser based on a double Sagnac HiBi fiber loop. A tunable multiwavelength fiber laser based on double Sagnac loops is proposed and demonstrated. Comb filter characteristics of single and double Sagnac loops are analyzed by Jones matrix. Simulated results show that there are better tunability and controllability with double loops than with a single loop, and this also has been confirmed by experimental results. By adjusting the polarization controller and the length of the polarization maintaining fiber the wavelength range, wavelength spacing, and laser linewidth can be tuned. Experimental results indicate that the linewidth of the multiwavelength fiber laser was 0.0187 nm and the optical sidemode suppression ratio was 50 dB.

Positive anymore Positive anymore is the use of the adverb anymore in an affirmative context. While any more (also spelled anymore) is typically a negative/interrogative polarity item used in negative, interrogative, or hypothetical contexts, speakers of some dialects of English use it in positive or affirmative contexts, with a meaning similar to nowadays or from now on. The difference between negative (NPI) anymore and positive anymore can be characterized as follows: Negative: "I don't eat meat anymore" → "I used to eat meat, and (but) I don't now" Positive: "I eat meat anymore" → "I didn't use to eat meat, and (but) I do now" Positive anymore occurs in some varieties of North American English, especially in the Midland variety widely spoken in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri and in the varieties of the Mid-Atlantic states; its usage extends to Nevada, Utah and some other western U.S. states. It also occurs in parts of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Regarding prescriptive recommendations on usage, Garner's Modern English Usage echoes the typical prescription that it not be used in writing intended to meet approval with prescriptive readers, scoring it as "misused" and Stage 1 (rejected) on Garner's Language-Change Index (similar to the Heller & Macris index): "In a linguistic study of Missourians, informants considered this dialectal usage 'well established, though controversial.' [...] That means that the informants were all familiar with it, but many didn't like it. The findings would probably hold throughout most of the United States." Both Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language have usage notes covering the positive use and its distribution. Some linguists theorize that the North American usage derives from Irish or Scots-Irish sources. Examples The following examples illustrate the use of positive anymore in Irish or American English speech, as recorded by lexicographers or sociolinguists. "A servant being instructed how to act, will answer 'I will do it any more'." (Northern Ireland, ) "Any more, the difference between a white collar worker and a blue collar worker is simply a matter of shirt preference." (Madison, Wisconsin, 1973) "Everything we do anymore seems to have been done in a big hurry." (Kingston, Ontario, 1979) "I'll be getting six or seven days' holiday anymore." (Belfast, Northern Ireland, 1981) "Anymore we watch videos rather than go to the movies." (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, c. 1991) Notes References Anymore Category:English grammar

Geography of Andhra Pradesh Please do not contribute text in a foreign language to English Wikipedia. Your contributions are more than welcome at a Wikipedia in your language. Thank you. Andhra Pradesh lies between 12°41' and 19.07°N latitude and 77° and 84°40'E longitude, and is bordered by Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and Orissa in the north, the Bay of Bengal in the East, Tamil Nadu to the south and Karnataka to the west. Among the other states, which are situated on the country's coastal area, Andhra Pradesh has got a coastline of around 974 km, which gives it the 2nd longest coastline in the nation. Two major rivers, the Godavari and the Krishna run across the state. A small enclave 12 sq mi (30 km²), the Yanam district of Puducherry, lies in the Godavari Delta in the north east of the state. The state includes the eastern part of Deccan plateau as well as a considerable part of the Eastern Ghats. Historically the region comprising the state was known as Andhraapatha, Andhradesa, Andhraavani, and Andhra vishaya. Climate The climate of Andhra Pradesh is generally hot and humid. The summer season in this state generally extends from March to June. During these months the moisture level is quite high. The coastal areas have higher temperatures than the other parts of the state. In summer, the temperature generally ranges between 20 °C and 40 °C. At certain places the temperature is as high as 45 degrees on a summer day. The summer is followed by the monsoon season, which starts during June and continues till September. This is the season for heavy tropical rains in Andhra Pradesh. The major role in determining the climate of the state is played by South-West Monsoons. About one third of the total rainfall in Andhra Pradesh is brought by the North-East Monsoons around the month of October in the state. The winters in Andhra Pradesh are pleasant. This is the time when the state attracts most of its tourists. October to February are the winter months in Andhra Pradesh. Since the state has quite a long coastline, the winters are comparatively mild. The temperature in winter raises from13 °C to 30 °C. Locals and tourists generally find that cotton summer clothes are best suited to coping with the climate of Andhra Pradesh. Divisions Andhra Pradesh can be divided into two regions, namely Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema. Andhra Pradesh has 13 districts: Anantapur, Chittoor, Kadapa, East Godavari, Guntur, Krishna, Kurnool, Sri Potti Sreeramulu Nellore, Prakasam, Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and West Godavari. Anantapur is the largest district of the state and the 7th largest district in India with an area of 19130 km2. Each district is divided into multiple mandals, and each mandal has many villages. Visakhapatnam is the largest city in the state followed by Vijayawada. Other important cities and towns are Kakinada, Guntur, Rajahmundry, Tirupati, Nellore, Ongole, Kurnool and Eluru. New capital After Telangana was created on 2 June 2014, Andhra Pradesh's erstwhile capital Hyderabad remained in Telangana. Although Hyderabad was set to remain the joint capital of both states for ten years, the new capital is being built at Amaravati only.

Role of various subtypes of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the development of posthemorrhagic abnormalities in systemic and portal circulation in rats. The experiments employing high-frequency ultrasonic technique and selective blockers of M1, M3, and M4 muscarinic cholinergic receptors pirenzepine, 4-DAMP, and tropicamide, respectively, revealed individual roles of these receptors in the development of severe posthemorrhagic hypotension in rats with low or high individual resistance to circulatory hypoxia. The study showed that M1 and M4 muscarinic receptors are involved in shock-limiting and shock-activating processes, respectively, while M3 receptors exert no effect on the course of posthemorrhagic abnormalities in systemic and hepatic portal circulation and on the posthemorrhagic lifespan. Poor resistance of the cardiovascular system to circulatory hypoxia during shock development is considered to be dysregulatory pathology.

Q: Why does sbt exit while executing tests with no errors? I've been using SBT to run unit tests on my code, and made some changes recently that have caused the tests to start acting weird. None of the tests that I have seen fail, but when running the tests with sbt, it just stops in the middle and closes without giving an error message. There are no failed tests in the output. Does anyone know why this might happen, or how I could figure out what the problem is? A: Thanks to the comment by @johanandren, I managed to nail it down to an exception that was being thrown by forcing sbt to fork the tests in a new process. The exception was a java.io.EOFException disguised as an sbt out of memory error -- java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space -- and increasing it using the -XX:MaxPermSize argument in the SBT_OPTS environment variable as described in SBT runs out of memory helped fix that issue.

Web based social networking has become a popular way for people to meet other people over the Internet. Typically, social networking is implemented by websites that provide a dedicated social networking service. Social networking services are typically stand alone web-based services. To use a web-based social networking service, a user may provide information to setup an account with a social networking service. Once a user's account is configured, users can generate “profiles” of themselves. The profiles typically contain basic information about a user (such as location, occupation, hobbies, etc.). Social networking services allow users to view other user profiles, join groups with a common subject or theme, add other registered users to a contact list, and send messages to other users having an account with the particular networking service. As stand alone web services, users must generate an account and develop a “network” over time. Messages sent to other users are typically sent as text-based messages, sometimes containing formatting and other markup, and are handled entirely by the social networking system. Communication is typically limited to other users having an account with the networking service. Thus, a user may not send a message to a mail address outside the social networking service other than an invitation to join the social networking service.

A class-action lawsuit says the Minnesota Department of Commerce designed a system to collect unclaimed property and money that benefits government coffers but leaves rightful property owners in the dark. The suit, filed this week in Ramsey County District Court, says “Minnesota’s policy of taking possession of property it knows it does not own and then selling, keeping, or otherwise benefiting from” the property — valued at more than $600 million — “violates the due process clauses of the United States and Minnesota constitutions.” The suit was filed by Timothy Hall Jr., who claims he didn’t get a final paycheck after he left a retail job and never got notice it was available. He was alerted to his unclaimed property by his father, who found it on missingmoney.com, the website the state uses to help people track their property, the lawsuit said. Hall’s attorney, Dan Hedlund of the firm Gustafson Gluek in Minneapolis, said his client pursued a class-action suit because “he wasn’t pleased with the situation of people not getting their money back. And he was surprised to find out that he had money owed to him that he hadn’t received notice about.” The lawsuit’s main points: — The state has made great efforts to collect unclaimed property, which includes money and personal items, but has made little effort to notify property owners who can claim what belongs to them. — The unclaimed money goes into the state’s general fund, meaning the “state has profited enormously,” the suit asserts. The class action asks the court to determine whether the state’s seizure of unclaimed property without notifying owners constitutes a “taking” — in violation of the Fifth Amendment, which requires “just compensation” if private property is taken for public use. It also asks for a ruling on whether the state’s use of a website where people can search for their names is adequate notification. Unclaimed property in Minnesota is overseen by the state Department of Commerce and regulated by the state’s Unclaimed Property Act, which was enacted in 1969 and has been amended several times. Before the court weighs in on the issues, the Unclaimed Property Act could change again. Rep. Joe Atkins, DFL-Inver Grove Heights, has introduced a bill that addresses the same concerns as the lawsuit. It is awaiting a floor vote in the House, Atkins said. Atkins proposes adding three requirements: — Publication of property owners’ names in a newspaper. — Proactive efforts to notify owners they have unclaimed property being held. — Providing names of property owners to legislators, who would conduct their own outreach to constituents on the list. “We have a lot of other people’s money that belongs to them, not us, and we ought to be doing a better job of getting it back to the rightful owners,” Atkins said. Atkins said the state ramped up efforts about 10 years ago to collect unclaimed assets from insurance companies and other financial institutions, which resulted in huge increases to the funds. The value of unclaimed funds and property in the program at the end of fiscal year 2006 was more than $318 million, according to a spokesman for the Commerce Department. As of a few weeks ago, it was more than $654 million. “The number of claims being processed has increased significantly,” said Ross Courson, spokesman for the department. In the first nine months of the current fiscal year, 13,759 claims were processed, Courson said. That’s more than the total 13,052 claims of the last fiscal year, he said. “That’s partly because the Commerce Department has revamped its claims processing to make it more consumer-friendly,” he said. That includes an easier-to-use website and fewer documentation requirements, he said. While the commerce department has increased its efforts to reach property owners, it hasn’t been enough, Atkins said. “Something has to change here,” Atkins said. “Even with greater efforts by the department, we’re still falling behind in getting people their money.” It’s unclear what effect passage of Atkins’ bill would have on the class-action lawsuit. In California, where a similar class-action suit was filed, lawmakers changed the unclaimed property law, requiring the state to notify owners before property was taken into state custody. The California class action sought an additional effort of state officials to track down property owners using all available databases. On appeal, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld dismissal of the case, saying the law’s new notification requirements were sufficient. Hall’s class-action lawsuit says, “The purpose of the (Minnesota law) is to protect consumers by placing unclaimed property in the custody of the state pending its return to its rightful owners. “But Minnesota seizes and uses private property for its own substantial benefit under the (Unclaimed Property Act) without making any meaningful effort to locate the rightful owners of this unclaimed property.” Hedlund, Hall’s attorney, said he sees this as a problem with a solution. “I think with some modest efforts, there could be great strides to reunite people with their money,” he said. “And our hope is that this lawsuit will accomplish just that, either in law changes or in how the Department of Commerce deals with it. Because just setting up computers and telling people about missingmoney.com is insufficient to do what needs to be done to reunite these people with their money.” As you comment, please be respectful of other commenters and other viewpoints.

Q: Sending data to database query using AJAX I want to send the content of the form from my HTML page to the PHP page using AJAX. It seems like the AJAX form is working, at can I see that it reacts when the button is pushed. However, the PHP page doesn't not receive the content of the form, because not happens to the query. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is it in the PHP page or is it the AJAX code? HTML page: jQuery-ajax.html Form: <form action='AjaxDifferentBids.php' method='post' id="form1"> <input type='text' id="name" name='name'/><br> <input type='text' id="email" name='email'/><br> <input type='button' name='submit' value='Submit' id="submit" /> </form> AJAX code: $(function(){ $('#submit').click(function(){ $.ajax({ type:'POST', url: 'AjaxDifferentBids.php', data: $('#form1').serialize(), success: function(response) { $('.MyJobsResultsRight').hide(); $('.MyJobsResultsRightOtherBid').show(); $('.MyJobsResultsRightOtherBid').find('.form_result').html(response); } }); }); }); PHP page: AjaxDifferentBids.php <?php //set connection variables $host = ""; $username = ""; $password = ""; $db_name = ""; //database name $mysqli = new mysqli($host, $username, $password, $db_name); //check if any connection error was encountered if(mysqli_connect_errno()) { echo "Error: Could not connect to database."; exit; } if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){ //the the user submitted the form //include database connection include 'Connection.php'; $query = "SELECT * FROM firms WHERE email = '".$_POST['email']."'"; //execute the query if( $mysqli ->query($query) ) { //if saving success echo "Succes"; }else{ //if unable to create new record echo "Database Error: Unable to create record."; } //close database connection $mysqli->close(); } ?> Thank you very much!! A: If the PHP is not receiving the form content this will be confirmed in the JS error console. In chrome it will say something like : POST http://yourdomain.tld/AjaxDifferentBids.php 404 (Not Found) If this is the case check the PHP is in the same directory as the HTML, and that you are loading the HTML with a web server, not just opening it with the file:/// protocol. If the PHP is receiving the ajax call - shown by something like: XHR finished loading: POST "http://yourdomain.tld/AjaxDifferentBids.php" Then the first problem in your PHP is: if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){ $_POST['Submit'] does not exist because you have not really submitted the form by posting the HTML page, you have used ajax. The $_POST array actually looks like this: array ( 'name' => 'thisname', 'email' => 'thisemail', ) So if you check for one of these values instead of 'Submit' you should then be able to perform your mysql query. Finally, you will find it much easier to debug the PHP if you use error logging. A: jQuery's serialize function does not capture submit buttons so you need to append the value yourself "Submit=Submit&" + $("#form1").serialize()

Q: cakePHP paginate with left join causes incorrect number of pages I'm having an issue with cakePHP pagination, specifically when I do a left join. There are 6 rows returned, and with a pagination limit of 3, it should calculate 2 pages, but it calculates 3 pages, with the last page being blank. Here is the options array I'm passing to paginate: Array ( [fields] => Array ( [0] => DISTINCT Video.id, Video.thumbnail_img, Video.title, Video.description, Video.tags, Video.views, Video.date, (( SELECT COUNT(Rating.id) FROM ratings AS Rating WHERE Rating.rating = 1 AND Rating.video_id = Video.id ) - ( SELECT COUNT(Rating.id) FROM ratings AS Rating WHERE Rating.rating = 0 AND Rating.video_id = Video.id ) ) AS avgRating ) [joins] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [table] => ratings [alias] => Rating [type] => LEFT [conditions] => Array ( [0] => Rating.video_id = Video.id ) ) ) [order] => Array ( [avgRating] => DESC ) ) Any ideas why this is happening? I'm not sure of any other way to get the results I want without using the join, but I'm betting that's what's causing the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! A: Foolish problem - in this case the join isn't even necessary. The same results are achieved without the join, since the sub-queries can be evaluated on their own. For this example, it's ok, but there may be further examples where a join is necessary and the count error does persist. Either way, my problem is solved!

The Congo: How High Tech Business Finances Genocide In mass media coverage, the economic roots of the conflict that has plagued the Democratic Republic of Congo for over a decade is frequently eclipsed by the emotive images and stories of the worst atrocities committed against civilians in recent times. The United Nations has declared it “the deadliest conflict since World War II”, in which six million people, half of them children, have died since 1996. The mass rapes used as a military tactic in ethnic cleansing have been reported in the hundreds of thousands and confirm to the world that the DRC is by far the worst place on Earth to be a woman. The conflict is frequently perceived as a territorial war between rival militia factions whilst the corporate dimension that supports it is poorly understood by the potential consumers of products which rely on materials sourced from this region. Coltan, the Congo’s most sought after mineral, is the industrial term for the metallic ore columbite tantalite that is used in the manufacture of electronic capacitators which power computers, mobile phones, DVD players, and video game systems. Its high impact strength and unique ability to conduct heat and electricity makes it sought after by the manufacturers of high tech components. Once it is processed and manufactured into capacitators, it is used in goods produced by companies such as Nokia, Motorola, Compaq, Alcatel, Dell, Hewlett-Packard , IBM, Lucent, Ericsson and Sony. The DRC holds an estimated 64 to 80% of the world’s reserve of coltan which was has seen a drop in value over the past decade as the conflict has provided a black market for supplies controlled by militia groups. The demand for the debut of the Sony Playstation 2 alone is reported to have increased the market value for coltan powder from $49 per pound to a $275 per pound in the year 2000, providing support to warring factions and enabling armed groups to engage in genocide. The Congo is also rich in other mineral resources such as gold; wolframite, which used in the vibrate function of cell phones; and pyrochlore, a rare mineral used in steel production and casserite, which is used in the production of tin. But despite the vast wealth the DRC generates for multi-national corporations, its citizens are amongst the poorest in the world. The nation has the second lowest nominal GDP due to the lack of transparency in most of its economic activity, and there is no system of corporate accountability for the supply chain of conflict minerals sourced by using licensed exporters who deal with middlemen that obtain the minerals from militia leaders and criminal gangs. International governments fail to hold the companies to account and the low risk of prosecution combined with high profitability make business in the DRC appealing to both multi-national companies and organized crime. Richard Durbin, US Senate majority whip stated, “Without knowing it, tens of millions of people in the United States may be putting money in the pockets of some of the worst human rights violators in the world simply by using a cell phone or laptop computer”. Currently, the main consumer of minerals sourced from the Congo is China, which has recently sealed a $9 billion resource deal and has virtually no accountability in the way they conduct business in the DRC. Western companies are legally bound to comply with Congo’s mining code, but no such restrictions will apply to China, which is providing roads, rail lines, hospitals, and new mining facilities in exchange for loans which may leave the nation in debt into the next century. As many militas have transformed into political parties and graduated into positions in national institutions and the military, some of the individuals who are responsible for overseeing and perpetrating the worst human rights abuses will now benefit from Chinese investment. Due to pressure from human rights organizations some capacitator manufacturers and tantalum processing companies are in the process of developing methods to identify coltan before it becomes processed and untraceable, thereby keeping it out of the market. The cycle of consumption is what ultimately fuels the violence in the DRC, calls for corporate accountability are the first step in a complex process which must involve individual responsibility on the part of consumers and broader responsibility on the part of governments that currently allow the distribution and sale of goods which have been produced by facilitating human rights violations. Patrick Alley, director of Global Witness said, “Breaking the link between minerals and violence must be an integral part of the solution – not something that is looked into once the peace is achieved.” About the Author Naomi Pattirane is an Indonesian American human rights journalist and activist.

1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for accessing a metadata, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for consistently accessing the same contents that are being asynchronously copied to several computers. 2. Description of the Related Art The storage system, in which many computers are connected in a network, and then some computers among them store a metadata, while the rest of the computers store data, can be used for mass data storage under the Internet environment. Under the storage system environment, a client acquires actual data by firstly finding a particular data server storing data that is required through the metadata server check, in which the metadata server stores the metadata, and then accesses the data server. When one of metadata servers is operated in the storage system that store mass data, requests from many clients is concentrated in one of the metadata servers. As a result, there is a bottleneck phenomenon, such that performance of operation is degraded. Therefore, operating clusters of many metadata servers in the large-scale storage system has processed the clients' requests to have scalability. Each of the metadata servers configuring the metadata servers' clusters stores the same metadata. Even if a client accesses any metadata server, the client can acquire the metadata related to the required data. However, there is a synchronizing problem of metadata servers for maintaining the metadata servers that store the same metadata. Specifically, the contents that are stored by each of the metadata servers become show a disagreement within a certain period until identically storing newly generated metadata into all the metadata servers. In this case, if a client accesses the metadata server that is randomly selected in order to increase the scalability of the metadata processing, the case, in which the client cannot find a desired metadata, can be caused. In other words, it can be possible that the data just generated cannot be found. Meanwhile, on the contrary of this, it can be possible that a client misjudges that the data just deleted exists. U.S.A. Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2007/0078809 A1 discloses a method for managing and using data storage that is dispersed. The patent application discloses using a peer-to-peer way in order to secure high serviceability for supplying data to a user. If a client asks a file, the system calculates the location that stores the file, and then finds the closest source for acquiring the file. After a client receives the file from the relevant source, the client copies the file to himself or herself. As a result, a client can immediately use the file for a further quick search, and the copied file also functions as a source that can be supplied to other clients. The patent application discloses a method for increasing data serviceability. However, there is not a specific process for supplying the consistent results to a client in a circumstance that the same contents are asynchronously copied to many servers. U.S.A. Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2009/0210640 A1 discloses a method for eliminating data duplication and increasing efficiency of a reading operation in a circumstance when a plurality of storages exist. The patent application discloses a file configuring a plurality of blocks. In a circumstance when a plurality of files is stored, when the blocks having the same contents with an already existing block are stored, it may be attempted that the data duplication can be solved by maintaining point information indicating that the existing blocks having the same contents instead of delicately storing the same file. In addition, when searching the desired file from the data storage, the search order should be selected based on the physical location between the blocks configuring the file, and then if the same block with the block to be now read is already loaded in a buffer, it should not be read. The patent application discloses a method for efficiently reading when existing in the same blocks, but does not disclose a method for supplying consistent results to a client in a circumstance that the blocks having the same contents are copied.

I built a delta 3d printer (like a mini Kossel) and now I'm trying to calibrate it. I made all the horizontal and vertical bars myself with wood and I bought angle joints (between bars) made with 3D printed ABS. It passes all tests in Z correction tools calibration. I used a z-probe (with manual deploying) to calibrate it with G32 and G33 commands. Now I'm trying to calibrate the distortion that takes place on the x and y axes. Basically what happens is that in a test cube of 10x10x10mm it is translated on x and y axes at some points in the corners. Below an explanatory image: The dimensions are good (less than half of a mm) but got this bad visible distortion (about 1 mm or less). There is a tool or a command in Repetier-host/firmware that corrects this issues? $\begingroup$i myself find same problem with my machine after searching i found out my frame of printer is bend at 2 degree angle at x axis so my all printed object are printed at that angle of 2 degree in x axis. so we need to straight our frame but it is impossible to do for me. So if you found something please inform me as well.$\endgroup$ – Akshay RautSep 10 '18 at 7:24 $\begingroup$Not an answer as specifically requested to use Repetier, but please note that Marlin Firmware has skewness compensation implemented. This is implemented in the configuration file, and found under header Bed Skew Compensation. You basically print a square and measure the diagonals and insert these measurements into the configuration file. This should be used as a last resort, it is better to fix the geometry of the hardware.$\endgroup$ – 0scar♦Sep 10 '18 at 8:05 1 Answer 1 Skew distortion in deltas means there is something physically wrong with your printer build, such as the towers not being evenly spaced or being tilted. The first thing you should do is confirm the mechanical build -- measure the distance between towers, angles between towers, parallelism of all three towers, and perpendicularity of all three towers to the bed. If you post photos of your build, we might be able to provide more specific advice. If you can't get the mechanical issue sorted, it's possible to calibrate out some specific build errors (like skew due to uneven tower angle), but that's nearly impossible to do "by hand." You really need to use a Z probe and auto-calibration sequence such as in Rich Cattell's Marlin fork or dc42 RepRapFirmware. $\begingroup$Hello, i update the question with more info. I know that there is something wrong in my build (nothing is perfect) but what i'm trying to do is to correct this imperfections in some way (preferably via software).$\endgroup$ – xxxJul 7 '16 at 18:36 $\begingroup$The way you describe your build, it might not even be possible to get all the errors calibrated out. Deltas require fairly high fabrication precision to produce dimensionally accurate output -- auto-calibration can fix moderate errors but not big ones. This is simply the reality of the deltabot architecture. Cartesian printers are much more tolerant of low-precision construction.$\endgroup$ – Ryan CarlyleJul 7 '16 at 19:49 2 $\begingroup$And to answer your main question, Repetier doesn't currently have a full-fledged delta auto-calibration technique that can fix skew distortion. It can only do bed tilt and bed grid mapping to my knowledge. You'll need to switch firmware or use David Crocker's manual calibration tool. See my answer to this question: 3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/1460/…$\endgroup$ – Ryan CarlyleJul 7 '16 at 19:52

Three illegal aliens with fake ID’s are on the run after they allegedly kidnapped and raped 13 and 14-yr-old sisters who were staying with their family at a Days Inn hotel. Two of them were in the area doing a drywalling job, the other one worked for a grocery store. According to Democrats, illegal aliens are here, in America, doing the jobs Americans won’t do. The median annual Drywall Installer salary is $46,331, as of June 29, 2018, with a range usually between $38,387–$55,991. According to the 2017 US poverty guidelines, a person with an income at or below $12,060 is considered to be living in poverty. The purpose for addressing this issue is to show how these illegal alien criminals have not only destroyed the lives of two innocent young girls but have also stolen decent paying jobs from American citizens. Meanwhile, according to WISTV, a nationwide manhunt is underway for three men who allegedly raped and kidnapped two teenagers in Bowling Green. Bowling Green Police say four men are accused of sexually assaulting and holding 13- and 14-year-old sisters against their will on June 28 at the Days Inn off Wooster Street. One man is in custody. Police say that the girls got away from their captors at the Days Inn, which is where the men also were staying. Their mother and stepfather rushed the girls to Wood County Hospital to be examined, and that’s when emergency room personnel contacted the Bowling Green Police Division. Search warrants were served at the Days Inn and based on evidence uncovered, they were able to identify four suspects in the alleged attack. Simon Juan Thomas, 24, of Guatemala, has been arrested and charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and is being held on $50,000 bond, with 100 percent required. His three alleged accomplices are on the loose and Bowling Green Police believe they left the Bowling Green area. Nationwide warrants are out for the arrest of David Ramos Contreras, Arnulfo Ramos, and Juan Adiel. Complicating the investigation is that the men are not U.S. citizens and police say they all had fake ID cards and documentation. Police are asking the public to take a look at their pictures, as they are not 100 percent certain these are the men’s legal names. Contreras, 27, is reported to be from Mexico. Police say Adiel had a U.S. Permanent Resident ID card out of Fellsmere, Florida, with a listed date of birth as Sept. 13, 1998, but the card was later determined to be fake. The men were in the area working; two worked as drywallers and one worked at Greenline Foods on Dixie Highway. They were said to be staying at the same Days Inn on Wooster as the mother and girls. wistv.com – Columbia, South Carolina Nationwide arrest warrants have been issued for the three men on two counts of kidnapping and rape.

Q: Webpack using wrong node_modules folder I have a vue client project that uses a vue library project (the vue library project is also using some 3rd party packages like vue-material). They are linked via the client project's Package.json like this "lib": "file:../lib" and I am importing components in the client project using import Comp from "lib/src/components/Comp"; The problem is that when I build the client project using Webpack, the files in my library use lib/node_modules/vue instead of node_modules/vue which causes double vue instancing. Anyone has any idea why when I am using webpack build from the client folder, it looks for vue package in my library folder? and is there a way to get around that? My webpack.config "use strict"; const path = require("path"); const utils = require("./utils"); const config = require("../config"); const vueLoaderConfig = require("./vue-loader.conf"); function resolve(dir) { return path.join(__dirname, "..", dir); } module.exports = { entry: { app: ["babel-polyfill", "./src/main.js"] }, output: { path: config.build.assetsRoot, filename: "[name].js", publicPath: process.env.NODE_ENV === "production" ? config.build.assetsPublicPath : config.dev.assetsPublicPath }, resolve: { extensions: [".js", ".vue", ".json"], alias: { vue$: "vue/dist/vue.esm.js", "@": resolve("src"), src: resolve("src"), assets: resolve("src/assets"), components: resolve("src/components"), utilities: resolve("src/utilities"), directives: resolve("src/directives"), plugins: resolve("src/plugins"), data: resolve("src/data"), "vuex-store": resolve("src/store"), "lib": resolve("node_modules/lib") } }, module: { rules: [ { test: /\.(js|vue)$/, loader: "eslint-loader", enforce: "pre", include: [resolve("src")], options: { formatter: require("eslint-friendly-formatter") } }, { test: /\.vue$/, loader: "vue-loader", options: vueLoaderConfig }, { test: /\.js$/, loader: "babel-loader", include: [resolve("src"), resolve("../lib/src")] }, { test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg)(\?.*)?$/, loader: "url-loader", options: { limit: 10000, name: utils.assetsPath("img/[name].[hash:7].[ext]") } }, { test: /\.(mp4|webm|ogg|mp3|wav|flac|aac)(\?.*)?$/, loader: "url-loader", options: { limit: 10000, name: utils.assetsPath("media/[name].[hash:7].[ext]") } }, { test: /\.(woff2?|eot|ttf|otf)(\?.*)?$/, loader: "base64-font-loader", options: { limit: 10000, name: utils.assetsPath("fonts/[name].[hash:7].[ext]") } }, { test: /\.ico$/, loader: "file-loader?name=[name].[ext]" } ] } }; My client's main entry // The Vue build version to load with the `import` command // (runtime-only or standalone) has been set in webpack.base.conf with an alias. // Core Imports import Vue from 'vue' import App from './App' // Plugins import { ComponentsPlugin } from "lib/src/components"; /* eslint-disable no-new */ new Vue({ el: '#app', router, store, template: '<App/>', components: { App } }) A: As I ran out of solutions to this problem I decided to debug webpack's compiler. It seems webpack uses a library called 'enhanced-resolve' (We actually send parameters to that library in our webpack's resolve:{} section). And using the resolve.alias property we can redirect any require to any folder we want. So to redirect any require("vue") to my own vue.esm.js, all I need is to add an entry like this (I originally had that line but it was pointing to a relative path rather than an absolute path): resolve: { alias: { vue$: resolve("node_modules/vue/dist/vue.esm.js"), } } Note the $ at the end of the library name, It signals enhanced-resolve that the package only has 1 module so any require whos name is "vue" or a sub-directory of "vue" should be parsed using the alias. Enhanced-Resolve - ResolverFactory.js if(/\$$/.test(alias)) { onlyModule = true; .... } Enhanced-Resolve - AliasPlugin.js // InnerRequest is the path (vue/dist/vue.esm.js) // name is the alias name without the $ (vue) if(innerRequest === name || (!onlyModule && startsWith(innerRequest, name + "/"))) { continue resolving.... }

The West African nation of Ghana has experienced a decade of sustained growth, outpacing that of nations such as Taiwan and South Korea. Its education expenditure relative to income is double the average for Africa, yet as in many developing nations, challenges remain. Today ICEF Monitor takes a close look at those challenges and needs, as well as the nation’s education sector as a whole. Ghana’s education sector Children in Ghana attend primary school for six years. The official language of instruction is English, however, students are exposed to French and local languages from an early age. The vast majority of Ghanaian students attend public boarding schools, many of which are highly competitive; there are only six international private secondary schools in the country, collectively graduating about 300 students a year and offering the International Baccalaureate or A-level curricula. Junior Secondary/High School lasts three years, as does Senior Secondary School. The latter was introduced in 2007, expanding the system to four years but not otherwise changing the curriculum. This policy was reversed after three years. In 2010 there were no graduates, and in 2013 two cohorts graduated. Ghana’s higher education system is comprised of polytechnics, universities, university colleges, academies, and tutorial colleges. In all, there are 140 accredited institutions, according to the National Accreditation Board. These schools offer four-year Bachelor’s degrees, as well as two- and three-year diplomas. The latter are not equivalent to Bachelor’s degrees, but undergraduate transfer credit can be awarded. Admission to Ghanaian universities is competitive, especially in the fields of medicine, engineering, mining, law, business and pharmacy. According to the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE), during the 2012/13 academic year: 109,298 students were enrolled in public universities; 47,294 in polytechnics; 26,159 in private universities; 27,580 in colleges of education; 5,048 in other public specialised institutions. These numbers represent an increase from previous years, but facilities are struggling to meet the demand, a situation made even more dire thanks to last year’s double cohort. Otherwise qualified candidates sometimes must take supplementary admissions tests, or are turned down completely. Competition from students who apply from neighboring Nigeria adds pressure for locals seeking places. Despite the lack of slots for students, only about 5% of Ghana’s age-eligible population actually moves into higher education, a very low percentage compared to developed nations. And while local universities bestow Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhDs, those degrees are not universally recognised in other countries. There is also concern among academic observers within Ghana that the education system – considered one of the best in the region – falls short of meeting the highest international standards, and may not completely equip students to function in a global economy. As for its research and science and technology institutions, it has been said the system is “stretched thin and overburdened in relation to available resources, leaving many of the country’s important science institutions unable to carry out their mandates effectively.” Emmanuel Amoah-Darkwah, Vice President of the Economic Business Group Africa, has been critical as well, recently writing of graduates in agriculture working as bankers, and citing other degree/career mismatches. He describes business and liberal arts graduates as being produced in excess, and STEM fields as neglected. The UK NARIC (National Recognition Information Centre) partly echoes those sentiments, pointing out that Ghana most needs graduates in geology, geophysics, and engineering. They also note that existing workers are in need of qualifications from professional bodies such as the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), and others. A 2011 British Council study suggested that Ghanaian students need access courses or A-levels that facilitate progression to the undergraduate level, and that polytechnic graduates often require one-or two-year undergraduate degree top-up courses. At the postgraduate level, affordability concerns mean that students gravitate toward one-year Master’s programmes. The arrival of international branch campuses may help Ghanaians meet more of their academic needs. Last year Missouri-based Webster University, which is accredited by the United States Higher Learning Commission, opened a campus in Accra, and Britain’s Lancaster University has also opened a branch in Ghana. Student mobility More middle class Ghanaian families are investing in their children’s higher education, a fact reflected in higher numbers of students attending schools overseas. Most students are self-funded, but there are a number of scholarships for African students to support their study abroad dreams. A distinct advantage Ghanaian students have in terms of international study is that, though there are over 70 different tribal groups in the country, each with its own distinct language, the official language of instruction and lingua franca is English, which can ease qualified students’ transitions into overseas academic environments. As of 2012, 7,845 students went abroad for their studies. According to the US Embassy website, more than 2,800 Ghanaians are enrolled in over 600 US institutions in all 50 states. The website describes their influence as “significant,” as each year’s new cohort is awarded over US$5 million in financial assistance, and Ghanaian students at both secondary and university level routinely gain admission to the most competitive universities in the United States. Given the prevalence of French in schools, tertiary study in France is not uncommon, but numbers are small. In 2012/13, 268 Ghanaians studied in France. On the inbound side, all Ghanaian universities operate on a modular semester system as a means of attracting international students. Nigerians make up the largest percentage of foreigners in Ghanaian universities, and number anywhere from 75,000 to more than 77,000, according to some estimates. They contribute approximately US$1 billion to the Ghanaian system, and numbers are expected to rise in coming years. International students in Ghana come from 62 other countries, but the numbers are small; only 906 according to 2011 NCTE data. Many universities have committed to drawing more internationals, for example the University of Ghana, which already attracts American and European students, has a goal of building a 10% international student population. In addition, nine public universities in Ghana and 25 in France recently signed an agreement to cooperate in research in various fields and to exchange findings. Ghanaian and French students will also collaborate on studies and visits with the goal of increasing student and lecturer mobility. Financial challenges Ghana’s Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service have enacted numerous policies in recent years aimed at supporting education, including pushing for free primary and secondary education by 2015, building new schools, improving infrastructure, raising teacher quality, and increasing the affordability of tertiary education. Other moves over the last twenty years have included upgrading polytechnics into higher education institutions, establishing the University of Development Studies, creating the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund), revamping the regulatory system, expanding distance education programmes, and modifying the student loan system. However, the country faces finance problems that may hinder its ability to pay for planned projects. Acceptance of a proposed US$156 million loan from the World Bank’s International Development Association may go some way toward achieving the government’s goals, but the budget situation remains dire. Ghana is poised to become a World Bank middle-income country by 2015, which means the questions concern spending, rather than economic growth. The Senchi Report, produced by a group of Ghanaian economists, criticises President John Dramani Mahama and his National Democratic Congress for depleting public finances and undermining a government commitment to tackle the economic challenges still facing the country. President Mahama has accepted the report’s conclusions and vowed to use it as a blueprint for economic management. On education, the report makes several suggestions, among them: forming liaisons between educational institutions and industry in order to make training programmes more relevant; set up a body to monitor, evaluate, and reform the use of funds transferred to public sector institutions such as the GETFund. The report notes that Ghana’s finances are constrained by structural inefficiencies. Specifically, the 2013 budget contained expenditures on two items – a wage bill and interest costs on the public debt – that together used 82% of total government revenue, leaving a mere 18% for all other expenditures. However, observers such as Convention People’s Party official Nii Armah Akomfrah have called the Senchi Report’s recommendations nothing more than “a regurgitation of the same old failed policies,” and said they won’t change Ghana’s situation even if all the recommendations are implemented. These domestic challenges combined with the increase in the number of families willing to spend on higher education means the country is expected to be a strong sender of international students for the foreseeable future.

Uniformity and diversity of calcium metabolism in hypertension. A conceptual framework. Calcium metabolism plays an important role in blood pressure homeostasis, although it remains unclear to what extent calcium contributes to or, alternatively, protects against clinical hypertension. To resolve this confusion, hypertensive subgroups were first defined by plasma renin activity, dietary salt sensitivity, sensitivity to calcium channel blockade, and calcium metabolic indices. Using these classification schemes, different patterns of calcium metabolism emerged, each predictive of divergent clinical responses. Patients with low plasma renin activity, low serum ionized calcium levels, and dietary salt sensitivity, such as black and elderly hypertensive patients, may preferentially benefit from calcium supplementation. It is postulated that calcium-regulating hormones and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system coordinately monitor dietary mineral intake, and transduce these environmental signals at the cellular level by altering cellular calcium uptake and disposition. Analysis of these hormonal systems is useful diagnostically in defining those patients who would most benefit from non-pharmacologic dietary forms of treatment.

Determination of serum unconjugated estrone, estradiol-17 beta and estriol during pregnancy by selected ion monitoring. A simple, rapid and highly specific method by selected ion monitoring (SIM), using 9 alpha, 11 alpha-[2H2]estrone, [2,4-2H2]estradiol-17 beta and 2,4-[2H2]estriol as internal standards, was developed for the determination of serum estrogens during pregnancy. Serum samples were submitted to a simple extraction procedure and were analysed after formation of the trifluoroacetic anhydride derivative. The inter-assay coefficients of variation for estrone, estradiol-17 beta and estriol were 3.73%, 3.42% and 3.49%, respectively. The results obtained by SIM were compared with analysis performed using radioimmunoassay.

Evaluation of antibodies to human papillomavirus as prognostic markers in cervical cancer patients. We wished to evaluate whether the presence of antibodies to HPV or to the HPV oncoproteins E6 and E7 or type of HPV DNA is related to prognosis among cervical cancer patients. Blood samples were drawn from 313 patients with incident, untreated cervical cancer on admission to two hospitals in Sweden. Patients were followed from enrollment in 1984-1991 until death or up to June 1999. Clinical information was obtained from a review of medical records. Survival and cause of death were ascertained from both medical records and population-based cancer registries. The correlation of survival with antibodies to HPV16, to oncoproteins E6 and E7, and to type of HPV DNA was evaluated using multivariate Cox regression analysis, including stage, age, histology, and hospital in the model. Stage was the only significant prognostic factor influencing cervical cancer patient survival (OR = 3.62, 95% CI = 2.71-4.83). Age over 50 was associated with increased death rate among stage I-IIa patients (OR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.12-4.68). Presence of antibodies to the oncoproteins E6 and E7 or to the HPV16 capsid or type of HPV DNA did not associate significantly with disease prognosis. Antibodies to HPV16 capsids and to oncoproteins E6 and E7 or type of HPV DNA do not appear to be useful as indicators of cervical cancer prognosis.

Report: God The Father Has Been Telling Everyone Dad Jokes For All Eternity HEAVEN—According to sources from on high, God the Father continues to insist on telling everyone in heaven dad jokes for all eternity. "Hey, do you know how you can tell that I like baseball?" He reportedly asked God the Son shortly after creating the universe. Jesus sighed. "How, Father?" "In the big inning! Get it? Ha!" Nobody laughed. But the Father was just getting started. "Hey Jesus, remember when we created everything under there?” The only begotten Son replied “Under where?” causing the angels to burst out in laughter. When Cain committed humanity's first murder, the Trinity was watching from on high. "Hey guys," the Father said. "Why couldn't Cain please God? Because he wasn't Abel!" He also made a joke about how Abraham and Isaac built a computer together and God provided the RAM. “Hey, guys, who else besides me doesn’t have any parents?” the Father asked at one point during the conquest of Canaan. Michael the archangel rolled his eyes: “Who?” “Joshua Son of Nun! Classic!" The Father also confirmed He named Joshua Son of Nun specifically so he could tell that joke. This has been going on for all eternity, according to sources, and reportedly will continue for all eternity future.

Q: For how many natural numbers(<=100) is $1111^n +2222^n+3333^n+4444^n$ divisible by 10? For how many natural numbers (0 not included) $n \leq 100$ is $1111^n +2222^n+3333^n+4444^n$ divisible by 10? I factored out $1111^n$ and got $1111^n(1+2^n+3^n+4^n)$. So $1+2^n+3^n+4^n$ must be divisible by 10. I figured out that this is divisible by 10 for all odd n, but I don't know how to find the other solutions, if any. A: If you divide $1^n$, $2^n$, $3^n$, and $4^n$ by 10, each goes through a cycle of remainders: $1: 1, 1, 1, 1$ $2: 2, 4, 8, 6$ $3: 3, 9, 7, 1$ $4: 4, 6, 4, 6$ So $1^n+2^n +3^n + 4^n$ goes through the cycle of remainders $0, 0, 0, 4$, and thus will be divisible by $10$ whenever $n$ is not divisible by $4$.

New 'The Punisher' trailer delivers blood and a release date "The US military turned you into a hit man, Frank," tech specialist Micro says in the new trailer for "Marvel's The Punisher." While the footage drops more details on Frank Castle's violent past, perhaps the biggest bit of news is the reveal of a premiere date: Nov. 17 on Netflix. The Punisher, played by Jon Bernthal, isn't the only one slinging bullets. He's also a hunted man thanks to his participation in a covert military operation that's alluded to early in the trailer. The trailer positions Rawlins (played by Paul Schulze), a CIA operative from the comics, as a bad dude on multiple levels. More on 'The Punisher' This latest trailer confirms one thing we already knew: "The Punisher" will be dark, dark, dark. There's gunfire, blood, a reference to Castle losing his family and a whole lot of anguish on display in just over two minutes worth of video. One of the final snippets of footage shows Castle sporting a shirt with the famous Punisher skull symbol. The trailer finishes out with this line: "The truth must be taken." At least we now know the truth will be taken on Nov. 17.

Immunochemical studies on a nephritis-associated ubiquitous tissue antigen. A ubiquitous tissue antigen (UTA), associated with chronic renal diseases was partially purified and characterized. The antigen was extracted by solubilization in 0.5% sodium deoxycholate (DOC) of various organs of human and animal origin. UTA was soluble in ammonium sulfate at 50% concentration and precipitable in 71% ethanol. Considerable purification of UTA was achieved by fractional ammunium sulfate precipitation, zone electrophoresis and gel filtration. Gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and velocity gradient centrifugation through 10-40% sucrose gradients suggested that the main antigenic component is a macromolecule, although aggregability of DOC-extracted proteins upon removal of the solubilizer prevented more accurate determinations. UTA appeared to be a heat-stable glycoprotein which did not contain lipids detectable by Sudan black B staining. The yield of purest UTA preparations, which did not contain components of homologous serum as tested by double diffusion gel precipitation or immunoelectrophoresis, was 0.1-0.2 mg/100 g of starting tissue. Immunization of rabbits with homologous UTA-containing preparations resulted in anti-UTA antibody formation.

Luxembourg taking major stake in Planetary Resources’ European business The Luxembourg government is expected to announce it is purchasing up to 49 percent of the equity in Planetary Resources' Luxembourg operation. The space-mining company's first business will be the Ceres constellation of hyperspectral Earth imaging satellites. Bayer of Germany is an early supporter. Credit: Planetary Resources PARIS — The Luxembourg government has agreed to purchase up to 49 percent of the equity in asteroid-mining company Planetary Resources’ Luxembourg operations as part of the effort to make Luxembourg the nexus of space-based resource exploitation, an industry official said. An announcement of the agreement was scheduled for June 13 in Luxembourg, the official said. It was not immediately clear what the initial investment level would be beyond taking part in Redmond, Washington-based Planetary Resources’ creation of a Luxembourg operation. Initial costs are likely to be modest, including administrative fees associated with incorporating in Luxembourg. The Luxembourg government has stressed it wanted to move quickly to tie down commitments from space-mining companies, starting with memoranda of understanding and continuing with a new pro-development space-mining law and financial incentives for research and development. In addition, the government announced on June 3 that it had set aside an initial 200 million euros ($225 million) to be spent on its spaceresources.lu venture. Luxembourg Deputy Prime Minister Etienne Schneider said the money would be used for technology-demonstration spacecraft and the purchase of ownership in companies that set up operations in Luxembourg. He said the 200 million euros should be seen as just the start. “The program has the full support of the Luxembourg government and what is clear so far is how fast it is moving forward,” said the industry official. Schneider and Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel said the government would adapt for space-based mining many of the investment techniques it used for commercial telecommunications satellite fleet operator SES, which in 25 years has grown into the largest commercial fleet operator. The government retains a 33 percent equity owner of SES. Deep Space Industries of Mountain View, California, was the first to sign the memorandum of understanding leading to a formal Luxembourg corporate presence and will receive financial support for its Prospector-X nanosatellite to test mining-relevant technologies. The satellite will be built in Luxembourg. Now comes Planetary Resources. The industry official said this company offers investment-savvy Luxembourg the possibility of an early revenue stream – Earth observation – on the way to its long-term goal of asteroid mining. The company completed a $21.1 million in Series A financing in June from several venture capital funds and from Google co-founder Larry Page, an early supporter, to develop a 10-satellite constellation for hyperspectral and infrared Earth imaging. The Luxembourg government investment adds a powerful incentive to relocate some of this development to Luxembourg before Ceres satellite production is too solidly anchored on the U.S. West Coast. In May, health-care and agricultural research giant Bayer of Monheim, Germany, and Planetary Resources announced they had signed a memorandum of understanding under which Bayer “intends to purchase data from Planetary Resources to create new agricultural products and improve existing ones. The collaboration will be part of the Digital Farming Initiative at Bayer.” Schneider has said the spaceresources.lu program would distinguish itself from U.S.-based efforts by being more international. Companies setting up shop in Luxembourg need not prove Luxembourg-based majority ownership to receive the full suite of regulatory advantages. The government has said it wants a European, an American and a Chinese national on the space-mining program’s board. Jean-Jacques Dordain, former director-general of the 22-nation European Space Agency; and Simon Pete Worden, former director of NASA’s Ames Research Center, have joined the board. UPDATE: Planetary Resources said June 13 that it had signed an MoU with the Luxembourg government and that the government was “considering a direct capital investment in Planetary Resources Luxembourg. This public equity position will be taken by the SNCI [banking institution Société Nationale de Crédit et d’Investissement] to become a minority shareholder. Planetary Resources Luxembourg plans to conduct key research and development activities.”

DE 25 28 008 A1 shows a printing press for use in a direct printing process, and having forme cylinders which can be equipped with six printing plates in the axial direction and with two printing plates in the circumferential direction, and also having counter-pressure cylinders, on which three printing blankets can be arranged in the axial direction and one printing blanket can be arranged in the circumferential direction. Both the printing plates, which are arranged side-by-side, as well as the printing blankets, which are also arranged side-by-side, are each offset, with respect to each other, in the circumferential direction. DE 24 22 696 C2 shows a satellite printing unit of a width of six plates with offset printing groups, and having nine or ten cylinders. The two center ones of six printing formes, which are arranged side-by-side in the axial direction, are arranged offset, in the circumferential direction, with respect to the outer ones of the printing formes on the forme cylinder. A triple-wide web-fed rotary printing press, with two formers arranged on two different levels placed on top of each other, is known from DE 41 28 797 A1. A folding structure is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,671,501. Two formers are arranged on top of each other, in which formers, following their passage through winding rollers, the webs are longitudinally cut upstream of a third former. The partial webs are turned by 90° by a third former and, after having been combined into two continuous webs, are subsequently fed to the two formers which are arranged on top of each other. A folding structure with two groups of three formers each, which two groups of formers are vertically offset with respect to each other, is known from EP 1 072 551 A2. A folding structure is known from WO 97/17 200 A2, in which cut partial webs, which are transversely offset with respect to each other, are fed to different formers. The formers, which are arranged horizontally side-by-side, are arranged partially offset with respect to each other. A longitudinal cutting arrangement for variably cut widths is known from EP 1 238 395 A2. This cutting arrangement has upper cutters which are movable in the axial direction, and a lower cutter shaft with a number of grooves exceeding the number of the upper cutters. DE 42 04 254 A1 discloses a folding structure of a printing press which is four newspaper pages wide. Two formers, which can be shifted transversely with respect to the web running direction, are arranged on a lower former level, and a single stationary former is arranged on a level above the lower former level. In one mode of operation, a newspaper with four pages is produced using the two lower formers. In another mode of operation six pages of a telephone directory are provided side-by-side by the three formers. In the latter case, the two lower formers are moved apart. EP 1 072 551 A2 shows a former arrangement with two groups of three cylinders each. The formers of one group are located on one level and overlap each other, at least viewed in their horizontal direction, in the vertical extension. It is known from DE 196 28 647 A1 to imprint a web with panorama printed pages, which panorama printed pages have printing extending over two adjacent newspaper pages, without interruption. In connection with double-width printing groups, DE 100 16 409 A1 discloses a transfer cylinder having two printing blankets situated side-by-side. Triple-width cylinders are also mentioned, in addition to single-width and double-width cylinders.

Q: String.split(String regex) Symbol avoidance I have String text2 = "Samaras did something by Papandreou's government."; When I use String[] w2 = text2.split("\\s+"); it takes the "Papandreou's" as a whole word (as its supposed to do). But how can I avoid the 's after the word? A: text2.split("(\\'s)?\\s+"); This regular expression splits the 's as optional, so it means either "Split 's follow with spaces" or "Split only spaces".

Effects of distortion of metal-oxygen octahedra on photocatalytic water-splitting performance of RuO2-loaded niobium and tantalum phosphate bronzes. Sodium, niobium, and tantalum phosphate bronzes Na(4)M(8)P(4)O(32) (M=Nb, Ta) are employed as photocatalysts for water splitting to reveal the effects of the distortion of metal-oxygen octahedra on the photocatalytic performance. Addition of RuO(2) as a co-catalyst leads to high, stable activity in the stoichiometric production of H(2) and O(2) under UV irradiation. The combination of highly crystallized phosphates and a high dispersion of RuO(2) particles result in high photocatalytic activity. The sodium niobium phosphate bronze Na(2)Nb(8)P(4)O(32), consisting of a framework built up from slabs of corner-sharing NbO(6) octahedra connected through isolated PO(4) tetrahedra, provide heavily distorted NbO(6) octahedra with large internal dipole moments. The results support the existing view that the activity correlates with the magnitude of the dipole moment. The heavy distortion of NbO(6) octahedra is shown to play a significant role in photocatalytic water splitting.

News Releases JEFFERSON CITY – For decades, governors have awarded Missouri’s 183 license offices based on political patronage. Implementing a new competitive system that emphasizes efficient office operations and customer service is a top priority for Gov. Jay Nixon. “Although some offices in the past have been awarded to local governments or not-for-profit groups, most were awarded through a patronage system to political supporters,” Gov. Nixon said. “Now, each interested person or group competes to operate an office, and they submit detailed plans that show how they will run their office. This new process is a vast improvement over the old system.” The governor also noted that he recently signed legislation that permanently puts his new competitive bidding process into state law. “Republicans and Democrats both recognized that a change had to be made,” he said. “Legislators saw the need for reform and followed my lead by passing this much-needed and long-awaited legislation.” The six offices put up for bid this week are in Hartville, Kahoka, Linn, Louisiana, Vienna and Warsaw. Bidders will have five weeks (or until August 25) to respond to bid proposals overseen by the Office of Administration (OA). Teams from the Missouri Department of Revenue will evaluate the bids. Alana M. Barragán-Scott, acting director of the Department of Revenue, noted the benefits of the new competitive process. “New bidders will bring fresh ideas to the table and current agents will now have an incentive to review their operations and make improvements,” she said. “The department asks bidders to submit information about their past experience, plans for hours of operation, the office location, and other office operations. Office customers will be the ultimate beneficiaries of this new and more rigorous competition.” Common transactions that take place at local license offices include renewing or applying for a driver license, renewing or applying for registration on motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors, and applying for titles and paying sales taxes on these units. Copies of the Request for Proposals (RFPs) that bidders will use to develop their bids can be viewed at https://www.moolb.mo.gov/. To review an RFP, select “Guest” on the home page, click on “Open Bids By Agency,” then scroll through the list of bids until the appropriate bid is located. (Bid numbers for this week’s offices are located below.)

A Look at Some of the Different Nursing Specialties If you are a nursing student, or even already an RN, there are different specialties you can consider. Nursing is a great career path, as it offers so many different areas in which you can work. Also, no decision has to be final. You could quite easily change specialty during your career with just a little further training or education. Here are some of the options you could consider. Pediatrics Working with children is one of the most challenging, and yet most rewarding, branches of medicine. It can be truly horrific watching children suffer, and not all nurses are cut out for this kind of role. However, knowing you can help, even if it’s in small ways, to make their lives better, is a wonderful feeling. If you are wondering, how do I become a pediatric nurse practitioner? Look at an online pediatric nurse practitioner degree to help you get started, and find out more about this fantastic career path. Geriatrics Working with the elderly again brings its own set of challenges. There are options to work outside of hospitals, in old people’s homes, or as part of a community nursing team. With the population ever increasing in age, more and more healthcare professionals with these specialist skills are required, so you would never be short on options. Research If you don’t feel like working with patients day to day is the right path for you, becoming a research nurse would be a great option. You would be at the forefront of medical science, helping to make discoveries, and change medicine today, to save countless lives in the future. Practice Working as a nurse in a GP practice is a great choice for those looking for some flexibility of work. GP practices offer a range of work, and no two days would be the same. However, the hours are a lot more flexible than in some other roles, and you could even work part time. Management Nursing experience and qualifications could help you go into management, either as a nursing manager, leading a team of nurses in a hospital, or community team, or as a manager of a healthcare practice. Either of these options would require fantastic management and organization skills, as well as great healthcare knowledge. Mental Health Mental health nursing is a different role again. Mental health is often not talked about, or not seen in the same light as physical health. Working as a mental health nurse, you would not only be looking after patients, but also helping to educate and promote mental health issues and treatments, to help break down these barriers. Midwifery Midwifery is about much more than simply delivering babies. You look after mothers, and families, throughout pregnancy, as well as being the first point of call in those all-important, and special first few weeks. Many women never forget their midwife and the help they were given. These are just a few options, the full list is incredibly long. Nursing offers many options, and a nursing degree can lead to a bright and rewarding future.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (CBS) — Pennsylvania’s former top prosecutor found herself on the receiving end of a judge’s sentence today. Kathleen Kane was sentenced to 10 to 23 months in prison after being convicted of leaking grand jury documents and lying under oath. BREAKING: Former PA AG #KathleenKane sentenced to 10-23 months in county prison, 8 years probation. @KYWNewsradio — Jim Melwert (@JMelwert) October 24, 2016 Former AG Kane Hopes To Avoid Jail For Perjury She also got eight years probation. BREAKING: Kathleen Kane sentenced to 10-23 months in jail; is being taken to jail shortly @CBSPhilly — Joe Holden (@JoeHoldenCBS3) October 24, 2016 Kane was lead from the courtroom in handcuffs, taken to Montgomery County prison after she was sentenced. She was later released pending her appeal, after posting $75,000 cash bail. Kane tearfully pleaded for a sentence without prison time. She had requested probation or house arrest so that she could be home to raise her two teenage sons. She argued that the loss of her career, her law license, and her reputation was punishment enough. But Montgomery County Judge Wendy Demchick told Kane, “when perjury is committed, it is the ultimate assault on the judicial system. Without the oath we have nothing.” Prosecutors called Kane’s crimes ‘egregious’ and pushed for jail time. During her trial, prosecutors laid out a calculated scheme Kane concocted. She had a campaign consultant pass confidential grand jury documents to a reporter to make a rival prosecutor look bad. She then tried to frame someone else for the leak. .@MontcoDA says ppl are expected to take stand and tell truth. “If the chief law enf officer can’t do that that we have a big problem” — Jim Melwert (@JMelwert) October 24, 2016 “What she did and what she put the citizens of the commonwealth through during this period of time was significant,” said prosecutor Michelle Henry. “That’s why her being led out in handcuffs was so important.” There was little reaction from Kane as her sentence was handed down. The judge told her she’s sorry her children have to go through this but “it’s a decision you made and when you put your hand on the bible. You weren’t thinking about them, you were thinking about yourself.” Former AG Kane ‘Humbled’ By Conviction, Seeks Probation #KathleenKane recounts having to tell her two sons she’d been convicted. Says it’s been “downward spiral” since. @KYWNewsradio — Jim Melwert (@JMelwert) October 24, 2016 Attorney General Bruce Beemer released the following statement after the sentencing of Kane: “Today is another sad day for the Commonwealth and its citizens. The Office of Attorney General is moving forward with steps to restore the public’s confidence in the work that we do and the way that we do it. The men and women of the OAG are dedicated public servants who do their jobs with integrity on a daily basis. That is what the public expects and deserves.”
