In this paper, natural convective heat transfer in a horizontal concentric annulus between a square outer cylinder and a heated circular inner cylinder is numerically studied using the Taylor-series-expansion and least-squares-based lattice Boltzmann method (TLLBM). The TLLBM is used to extend the current thermal model to more practical applications. Since the TLLBM is basically a meshless approach and can be applied to any complex geometry, we can easily use it to solve the complex thermal problem accurately and effectively. The present method is validated by comparing its numerical results with available data in the literature, and very good agreement has been achieved.

For example, by using the apparatus of the invention it is possible to remove up to 96 percent of tobacco leaf lamina in a single pass of a given leaf through the apparatus of the invention. Sixty percent of the lamina so removed is of a size retainable on a 1-inch screen. The stripped stem remains intact in almost all instances and is easily separated undamaged.

G20 Summit: Hopes dim for wider foreign bribery law

As the G20 world leaders start arriving in this German port city known for anti-capitalist protests, hopes are dim for any wider consensus on putting in place a strong foreign anti-bribery law, with a number of countries, including India, yet to ratify an international convention for this cause.

Some rights groups, including Coalition for Integrity, formerly Transparency International America, have written to Trump urging him to seek a wider consensus among leaders of the top economies for implementing laws akin to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of the US. The US has traditionally been taking the lead in the G20 and the Paris-based think-tank OECD’s efforts for international efforts in tackling the issue of transnational corruption.

While the G20 has been stressing on greater efforts for tackling this menace for more than six years now, the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention (OECD Convention) has been actively enforced so far only by a few countries. India and China are among the countries that are yet to ratify this international convention. While talking about the priorities for the G20


Left ventricular effects on right ventricular developed pressure.
The possibility that left ventricular (LV) performance might affect right ventricular (RV) function through the myocardium was examined by using isolated, flow-perfused, paced rabbit hearts beating isovolumically. Reducing LV volume from its optimal volume to zero caused a 5.7% decrease (N = 10, P less than 0.001) in right ventricular developed pressure (RVDP). Ligating the anterior ventricular branches of the left coronary artery which in the rabbit supply the LV free wall resulted in an additional 9.3% decrease in RVDP (N = 5, P = 0.05) within 3 min of ligation. Finally, cutting the LV free wall from the atrioventricular orifice to the apex (thereby preventing any developed LV free wall force during systole) caused a 45% further decrease in RVDPArticle Archives

Based on the Bible and the 28 Fundamental Beliefs, this faith is expressed through the church’s worldwide mission and prophetic role in fulfilling the commission to proclaim the gospel “to every nation and tribe and language and people” (Rev 14:6, ESV; see also Matt 28:18-20; Rev 14:6-12).

The field of the present invention is fuel injection systems, and more particularly, devices for mounting injector nozzles for such fuel injection systems.
Fuel injection systems generally employ nozzles which are fixed relative to the engine at either the intake manifold or the cylinder head to direct fuel received from a fuel distribution line toward the intake of the engine cylinders at appropriately timed intervals. Such nozzles are usually comprised of a solenoid valve arranged to inject in an intermittent manner the fuel supplied thereto through the fuel distribution line. The nozzle is directed to provide fuel toward the combustion chamber in the engine cylinder, often indirectly via the intake manifold.
Mounting devices for mounting injector nozzles on engines have previously been employed which include a pipe joint such asadvanced laryngopharyngeal carcinoma. A systematic review and meta-analysis of all published data and review of case series at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals (NuTH). MEDLINE (1946-2012) and EMBASE (1980-2012) were searched. A single reviewer conducted the systematic review with a follow-up ancestry search. Studies publishing case series of T3 and T4 laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma treated by total laryngectomy or laryngopharyngectomy and partial or total thyroidectomy, with pathological assessment for thyroid gland invasion rates were selected. Articles published prior to 1977 were excluded due to the advent of whole organ sectioning. The literature search identified 16 studies suitable for inclusion, with 1180 cases. The NuTH case series identified 107 patients. The overall pooled incidence of thyroid gland invasion in 1287 patients is 10.7% (95% CI 7.6-14.2). Patients with primary


Improvement of the sediment ecosystem following diversion of an intertidal sewage outfall at the Fraser river estuary, Canada, with emphasis on Corophium salmonis (Amphipoda).
Primary treated sewage effluent from the city of Vancouver, Canada was deposited directly onto the intertidal ecosystem of Sturgeon bank, Fraser river estuary between 1962 and 1988. In response to the degraded sediment conditions an azoic zone developed near the discharge outfall. Effluent discharges into the intertidal zone were almost completely stopped in 1988 with the construction of a submerged outfall. Our studies, conducted between 1994 and 1996, showed considerable improvement in the environment of the mudflat ecosystem, including increased dissolved oxygen, decreased sediment chlorophyll, decreased organic material in the sediment, reduced heavy metals in surficial sediment and increased grain size.

Callus distraction (callotasis) has already become a popular procedure in the lengthening of limbs. With the development of a small device, it can also be applied to the hand or foot, thus providing benefits in the treatment of brachymetatarsia. Four toes of 3 patients with brachymetatarsia of the fourth toe were treated by this method, and excellent elongation of from 17.50 to 32.55 mm (average, 23.71 mm) was acquired. The treatment period ranged from 78 to 141 days (average, 112.5 days). More time was required in the earlier cases, but the most recent took only 11 weeks. The optimal distraction rate is considered to be 0.35 mm per half-day. Reshortening after treatment ranged from 3.6 to 5.5 mm (average, 4.7 mm), or

The Michigan Basin is a geologic basin centered on the Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. The feature is represented by a nearly circular pattern of geologic sedimentary strata in the area with a nearly uniform structural dip toward the center of the peninsula.

Geology
The basin is centered in Gladwin County where the Precambrian basement rocks are  deep. Around the margins, such as under Mackinaw City, Michigan, the Precambrian surface is around  below the surface. This  contour on the bedrock clips the northern part of the Lower Peninsula and continues under Lake Michigan along the west. It crosses the southern counties of Michigan and continues to the north beneath Lake Huron.

Because I know that job interviews are something that a lot of people struggle with, I thought that I would give y'all a little something to nibble on!

Workshop Indigeneity: Career and

Indigeneity: Career
and appropriation(s) of a global category

In the history of anthropology, the concept of indigeneity
was most often used to mark the opposition between ‘us’ and ‘them’: the
indigenous, natives to the soil and caught up in their local cultures, were
opposed to the civilized, more cosmopolitan high cultures of the West or, more
rarely, of local elites.

In the last decades, the concept has taken on a
new turn. It is detached from the notion of inferiority and connected to a
special status and special claims linked to autochthony.

In the last decade we observe a new rise of discourses
on indigeneity, above all led by local actors but also promoted by scholars,
triggering new debates (Cultural


between individual, territory
and group – as the root phenomenon. It suggests distinguishing between two
causal logics underlying the reproduction of this autochthony-triad, which
honour time in different ways: ‘individualised autochthony’ links the
individual, territory and group in such a way that shared culture and/or
descent ultimately follow from place of birth and/or residence within the same
present, while ‘collectivised autochthony’ inverts this causality on the basis
of continuously evoking the same past. Based on this notion of autochthony – de facto a model of (landed) ethnicity
–, the paper proposes to distinguish between ‘indigeneity’ and ‘nationalism’ as
alternative modes of targeting the state: whereas indigeneity refers to cases
of autochthony that, in compensation for past discriminations, demand special
entitlements from the state,
nationalism denotes cases of autochthony that aim for the very entitlement of the state itself.

A White Traditionaldangerous. By using it for political aims, people express
assumptions about the relation between citizens and the state, assumptions
which have been in the centre of many scholarly analyses of African societies.
The presentation will use the Afrikaner case to unravel some of the societal
and political preconditions of the successful use of indigeneity, and look at
the common points between ‘emancipative’ and ‘exclusivist’ uses of indigeneity/
autochthony.

My paper examines the concept of Indigenous
Media that gained much prominence in media anthropology and development
cooperation. Referring to debates on the notion of the “indigenous”, I will
discuss to which extent the concept is appropriate, and will point to some
ambivalences it entails when comparing diverse case studies. Assessing an
example of a Community radio station in Benin (Radio Ilema), I will propose a
different analytical frame, focussing on the set

Only one of this year’s generally strong superhero movies boasts a memorable villain: Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes, a.k.a. the Vulture, the disgruntled business owner turned weapons dealer whose compelling motivation and personality helps power Spider-Man: Homecoming. That doesn’t stop the movie from descending into a drab-looking airborne climax, but the filmmakers deserve credit for engineering a prelude that outshines the physical conflict. When Peter Parker (Tom Holland) shows up at the home of his dream date Liz (Lauralike a single take) which also incorporates a brutal apartment-set showdown and a frenetic car chase. But the centerpiece is so raw and potent, it stands out even among those other achievements. For three minutes straight, Charlize Theron’s no-bullshit super-spy throws down against a pair of ruthless KGB thugs in a decaying Cold War apartment stairwell. Part of the thrill is the abrupt tonal shift: The sleek and stylish action thriller’s groovy ’80s synth drops out, leaving only the sounds of knuckle on flesh, desperate grunts, and soft body parts hitting the ground. But mostly, it’s memorable for Theron’s unstinting brawler skills. The actor’s jacket-clad physique is tightly framed the entire time, whether she’s being flung down stairs or breaking opponents’ bones. It’s a marvel of choreography and


an adrenaline rush to equal any action film this year. [Alex McLevy]

Professor Xavier’s final lesson, Logan

The brutally violent and surprisingly emotional Logan offered heart-piercing farewells to two beloved characters while exploring why their lives were so impossible to begin with. The incongruity between the fate of an exiled X-Man and the beauty of traditional domesticity takes center stage when Logan, a failing Charles Xavier, and young mutant Laura have dinner at the home of a warm, affectionate family. The sense of impending dread is palpable as these unusual characters stick out in an otherwise familiar background, but the meal offers an invaluable window into a kind of blissful, peaceful life that the mutants have never known.

refused to publicly debate the draft law. In early 2009, the Ministry of Health developed a comprehensive anti-FGM strategy in collaboration with an NGO. But later the Ministry of Health withdrew its support and halted efforts to combat FGM. Furthermore, the ministry charged its erstwhile NGO collaborator of ruining the reputation of Kurdistan. Indeed, concern about the reputation of Kurdistan was articulated to Human Rights Watch by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry for Religious Affairs during the course of research for this report.

One sign of government inertia is its failure to assess the extent of FGM in Iraqi Kurdistan. The government does not systematically collect statistics on FGM, either on prevalence or consequences. For example, FGM was not included in the UNICEF-supported government-implemented Multiple Indicator Clusterreproductive health and FGM, including on health consequences and how to teach students about them.

boys at ages 14, 15, and 16 remain slightly higher than those for girls.

According to the 2006/2007 Iraqi Family Health Survey Report (IFHS), nearly 43.3 percent of women in Iraqi Kurdistan are illiterate, compared to 19.6 percent of men. Most of the women interviewed by Human Rights Watch for this report were either illiterate, or had only completed sixth grade. Some young women and girls drop out of school to help with household chores, or are forced into early marriage.

The IFHS notes that 10.3 percent of girls in Kurdistan are married by the time they reach the age of 15. The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey notes that the percentage of women and girls aged 15-49 years who were married before age 15 is 6.8 percent. Just over 26of other countries in the Sahel.

The association of FGM with Islam has been rejected by many Muslim scholars and theologians who say that FGM is not prescribed in the Quran and is contradictory to the teachings of Islam. For example, in 2006 the late Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi, Grand Sheikh of Al Azhar University, the most respected Islamic university among Sunni Muslims, stated during a conference in Cairo on FGM that female genital mutilation is not an Islamic practice and is not mentioned in “Shari’a, in the Quran, in the prophetic Sunnah”. A year later the Al Azhar Supreme Council of Islamic Research issued a statement that FGM has “no basis in Islamic law or any of its partial provisions”. Nevertheless, the belief that FGM has a religious mandate


mothers, aunts, or grandmothers without any prior knowledge about where they are going and what they are going to do. In other instances, close female relatives or neighbors, instead of traditional midwives, carry out the procedure on their own girls. Girls may grow to fear the female members of their families.

Research has linked FGM with depression, anxiety, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychosexual problems, and other mental health problems. The prevalence of PTSD is likely to be higher in girls and women who undergo more severe forms of FGM. The prevalence of PTSD may increase if the girl or woman suffered severe complications as a result of the procedure. PTSD may also occur when flashbacks are triggered by reminders of the procedure. These memory triggers may occurpersons surveyed was much wider than the Ministry of Human Rights survey, and this may have skewed the overall general results upwards.

Whichever set of results are considered, these surveys are highly suggestive that the practice of FGM is widespread in Iraqi Kurdistan. Even the lower figure–the Ministry of Human Rights’ finding of 40.7 percent of girls and women aged 11 to 24 years of age in education having undergone FGM–represents a high proportion of girls and women, especially given that this survey was carried out among girls and women who attend school and prevalence among girls and women who have not attended school is likely to be higher.

Despite these results, ministerial officials who spoke to Human Rights Watch said that the practice was not widespread enough to require


then my cousin brought me back, and my mom circumcised me.”

Some women said that they escaped circumcision when they were children, but later succumbed to societal pressure to be circumcised as adults. Human Rights Watch discovered several of these cases. A gynecologist in Kallar told us about one uncircumcised adult woman: “She was ashamed of [having to have] the procedure [done]. She went to the oldest midwife who cannot see or is semi blind, and she disfigured her vagina.” Some interviewees and social workers told us of uncircumcised women whose fiancés made it a condition of their marriage that they were circumcised prior to their wedding. In another instance, one social worker told Human Rights Watch about a woman who was discovered to be uncircumcised by her sister-in-lawSunni Muslims who adhere to the tenets of the Shafi’i school of Islam which regards male circumcision as obligatory and female circumcision as optional. Regardless of its origins in Iraqi Kurdish society, the practice has become a social convention, important for the acceptance of a girl as a respectable member of society. It attaches to notions of female purity and cleanliness.

The reasons for the continuing practice of FGM given by women, midwives, government officials, and clerics interviewed by Human Rights Watch were varied, which points to how deeply embedded it is as a social convention and to the challenges that the authorities and society face in achieving its eradication. The reasons fall into four main categories:

It is linked to Kurdish cultural identity;

It is a religious imperative;

It is necessary


clerics, indicating that the Prophet was not against circumcision for girls.

There is no agreement between clerics in Kurdistan on the practice of FGM. Some were adamant that the practice should be conducted as a religious obligation. Mullah Taha ‘Abd al-Rahim Jassim from Kallar told Human Rights Watch that female circumcision is performed for cleanliness, the same way that shaving and other hygienic customs are encouraged by the Islamic faith. But both Mullah Jassim and Mullah Muhammad Amine ‘Abd al- Qassar, also from Kallar, stated they do not encourage female circumcision because it has been proven to cause severe damage to women’s health. Indeed, these clerics told Human Rights Watch that when any practice interpreted as sunnah has been proven to endanger people’s lives, it is the duty ofwomen to undergo traditional practices, e.g. female genital mutilation; and to ... protect all vulnerable...groups of society, in particular women, children, adolescents ... in the light of gender-based expressions of violence.” Paragraph 51 specifically states that such violations include “the failure to protect women against violence or to prosecute perpetrators; the failure to discourage the continued observance of harmful traditional ... or cultural practices.”

The obligation to fulfill, as articulated in the Comment, requires states to adopt appropriate legislative measures towards the full realization of the right to health. Paragraph 36 notes that obligations include “the promotion of ... health education, as well as information campaigns, in particular with respect to ... sexual and reproductive health, traditional practices, domestic violence ...” Paragraph 21 notes “it is also important to


undertake preventative, promotive and remedial action to shield women from the impact of harmful traditional cultural practices and norms that deny them their full reproductive rights.”

Other international treaties including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) oblige States parties to eliminate discrimination against women in the healthcare field and ensure access to healthcare services. In its General Recommendation on Women and Health adopted in 1999, the CEDAW Committee, the body responsible for monitoring the implementation of the CEDAW convention, recommended that governments devise and implement laws that prohibit FGM. The CEDAW Committee’s General Recommendation No. 14 on Female Circumcision, adopted in 1990, notes that States parties should include appropriate strategies in their national health policies aimed at eradicating female circumcision in publicPrairie ISD.

P.T.O.: Pacific Theater of Operations - General FAQ

Pacific Theater of Operations
(C)1993 KOEI Corporation
GAME PLAY GUIDE
Overview
As the Commander of Pacific Fleets in P.T.O., you must issue orders to the naval
commanders of up to16 individual fleets through a system of command and
intelligence.
Strategy is crucial to winning. Supply, diplomacy, intelligence, and the
industrial and technological capabilities of your country are as critical to game
play as your tactical skill in warfare. You are responsible for setting naval policy
regarding logistical support, tactics, and diplomacy with allied countries. Your
distribution of budgetary funds will determine the support you receive from
your country and industry, as well as the quality and quantity of your military
intelligence and hardware. Your skill as a tactician will determine the outcome
of the war in the Pacific.
The Command Menus
P.T.O. makes extensive use of anof equipment loaded on each ship and the number of troops
assigned to each ship.
4. Move the highlighted square to the item on the ship to be supplied (you
are allowed to move the highlight only to those items which are available).
5. Select the item with the control pad. The message 'Furnish with how
many battalions (0-10)?00' will be displayed (if SLDR had been selected).
6. You may then supply that item if it is available. Each ship in your fleet
may be supplied in this fashion.
7. You will be able to fuel your fleets at the following screen. The amount
of fuel is displayed along with the percentage of total fleet fuel capacity. The
message 'Set sufficiency to what (0-100)?000' will be displayed at the bottom
corner of the window. You will be able to


sustained military effort once their industrial
potential is harnessed.
Technology is critical. Fuel is a # 1 consideration. Midway, Wake, Truk,
and the Marshall islands are crucial mid-Pacific bases. You must also have
sufficient materials at bases where ships may be repaired.
Freighters attached to fleets extend the range of that fleet by increasing
total fuel capacity.
Troops, Fuel, material, and aircraft are critical to base defense.
Do not allocate Rockets to bases; they will not be used.
Bases will not take direct orders but will use Fighters and Bombers for
defense and attack if they are available.
Bases which have Long Range Bombers will execute bombing strikes
against enemy forces if they are supplied with sufficient quantities of fuel. Long
Range Bombers are effective against inland bases and will be used to take them.
You must have control of a nearbypeople who are above 45 years of age.

At that time I was over 45 so, I was issued a passport.

In the beginning, I went to LA in the states and then to Berlin in Germany to hold a bible seminar.

That is how I went abroad for the first time in March 1989.

From March 1989, we decided to send missionaries all over the world to preach the gospel.

Back then, our Good News Mission had about 30 churches in Korea and there were only about 30 ministers.

Yet, we dispatched as many missionaries as possible abroad.

But amazing miracles happened.

Korea was always a poor country. We had small limited land that we lacked food for our own people even after farming.

We began to dispatch missionaries in 1989 and after about 5 years

In the year 2017, God has commanded us saying, “I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.”

He has given us such a beautiful blessing, but you have to give yourself to the Lord to receive this blessing.

We have been given the blessing of being able to give our handful of meal to God to fill my hunger as well as our son’s, ourif it was laundered to create illegal assets by the accused.

These ED cases are based on four CBI FIRs.

Two cases are related to the controversial merger of Air India and Indian Airlines and alleged irregularities in purchase and leasing of aircraft by the two state-run carriers under the UPA government which caused "huge" losses to the exchequer, according to the CBI.

The other two cases relate to surrender of profitable routes and timings of Air India to favour national and international private players which allegedly caused a "huge" loss to the state-run carrier and alleged wrongdoing in the purchase of software for the airline.

It is expected that the ED will soon issue summons to a few officials and others involved, asking them to appear before it.

for clients and interested parties to share my content and start buying my product. I liked the idea of Share triggers… im going to be incorporating that into my social media strategies. Any advice would go a long way. thanks again Brian
You can absolutely use websites like eBay and Etsy! Try listing some items and making a professional Facebook page for yourself with a link to your eBay/Etsy pages. Then share the information with friends and family and get them to spread the word to people they know. Also, make sure that you have detailed descriptions and multiple pictures with anything you list online. This will help your listing show up in keyword searches, and you are more likely to sell something if the buyer knows a lotsure that it looks good – and use it to get the word out there. Explain to everyone why they should invest in your idea. After that, ask people to send you money which could be a digital currency like Ethereum and Bitcoin or fiat. In return, send some BabyCoin back to them. Your investors will rely on the hope that the coin will circulate widely and get used a lot which will increase its value.

It’s very important to keep in mind the difference between the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and Initial Public Offering (ICO). Investing in an IPO guarantees you some ownership of the company you’re investing in. However, this is not the case with Initial Coin Offerings. Investing in an ICO is a total gamble on


hacking and fraud. Other than viewing ICOs the same way that regulators such as the SEC and prosecutors do, more legal implications that should be considered are present.

CoinDesk released a reports saying that buyers, under the laws of federal securities, can actually sue sellers. These laws are also used to govern other similar transactions.

Companies, as well as buyers, who intend to make transactions in the ICO process or other types of similar transactions, should understand these risks.

In a continuously evolving world of Initial Token and Coin Offerings, buyers don’t have to worry if they are treated in a biased or unfair way because there are measures in place to deal with these issues.

charioteers, and troops atop elephants. When the game later expanded into Persia, a wise man, which would later become what we now know as a queen, was added.

The Persian pastime soon spread to Arab nations, who checkmated the Persians in real battle in the 7th century. With the takeover came the appropriation of culture, including the passing of chess into the Arab world. The Arabs had a great deal of influence on the development of chess because of their strict Muslim beliefs that prohibited them from creating images of living things. Hence, the abstract designs of Arab chess pieces. Today, abstract design versus realistic representation is a major differentiator between collectible chess sets.

Middle Eastern chess pieces were normally carved from ivory, bone, or stone. Though they rarely come


can collect Asian chess sets, which are almost exclusively made of ivory; fancier sets feature gold and silver. Some of the finest carved figures substitute Japanese samurai soldiers for knights and temples for rooks. Then there are the Indian sets, which have figures riding camels and elephants—an homage to the earliest form of the game played by its originators.

In the United Kingdom there have been dozens of memorable designs, such as the stone and ivory Calvert sets made between 1791 and 1840. Calvert sets were known for their pristine, sleek design and can be identified by their “Calvert 189 Fleet Stt” stamp. Another popular British style was St. George’s, which was common throughout the 19th century and featured ovals up and down the shafts of each piece.

RGB is a direct response to a number of health and environmental problems that are the result of misguided city policies.

Bicycles help create cohesion in communities and aid social services, especially in developing countries. In many African countries -- Zambia, for example, where frog has worked on projects -- bicycles are converted (or hacked) into makeshift ambulances that help voluntary health workers transport women in labor to far away birthing centers. Bicycles are also used to stay in touch with mothers after the birth to ensure adherence to HIV testing programs for the infant,“The Cambridge Companion to Gandhi,” edited by Judith M. Brown and Anthony Parel, a new collection of scholarly articles, examining particular aspects of Gandhi’s life, ideas, and legacy (Cambridge; $90). Still, Lelyveld relates the more compelling story of how a supremely well-intentioned man struggled, through five decades of activism, with a series of evasions, compromises, setbacks, and defeats.

As a young man in South Africa at the beginning of the twentieth century, Gandhi developed satyagraha, a mode of political activism based upon moral persuasion, while mobilizing South Africa’s small Indian minority against racial discrimination. But the hierarchies of South Africa did not start to be dismantled until nearly a century later. After his return to India, in 1915, Gandhi sought to fight the social evil of untouchability in India,


Many types of electronic devices are used for communication and entertainment purposes. These devices include computers, tablets, audio players, video players, smartphones, two-way radios, and GPS receivers. These devices often include touch screens, scroll wheels, switches, or other interactive controls. Due to the sensitive nature and high cost of these electronic devices, it is desirable to protect these devices from physical damage that can result from everyday usage.
Many two-piece and three-piece protective enclosures exist and provide cushion and structural layers for electronic device protection. However, many of these enclosures require a user to follow a relatively complicated set of instructions to assemble the multi-piece protective enclosure around the electronic device. These multiple layers can also have multiple steps of assembly or to replace and manage if removing thethe British artillery and infantry attack. General Edmund Allenby used infantry to attack the strong Ottoman front line in co-operation with supporting artillery, augmented by the guns of two destroyers. Through constant pressure by infantry and cavalry, two Ottoman armies in the Judean Hills were kept off-balance and virtually encircled during the Battles of Sharon and Nablus (Battle of Megiddo).

The British methods induced "strategic paralysis" among the Ottomans and led to their rapid and complete collapse. In an advance of , captures were estimated to be "at least  prisoners and 260 guns." Liddell Hart considered that important aspects of the operation were the extent to which Ottoman commanders were denied intelligence on the British preparations for the attack through British air superiority and air attacks on their


and Dnieper rivers near Smolensk, the panzers had to defend the encirclement, because the marching infantry divisions were still hundreds of kilometres to the west.

The Germans conquered large areas of the Soviet Union but their failure to destroy the Red Army before the winter of 1941 was a strategic failure that made German tactical superiority and territorial gains irrelevant. The Red Army had survived enormous losses and regrouped with new formations far to the rear of the front line. During the Battle of Moscow, the Red Army defeated the German Army Group Center and for the first time in the war seized the strategic initiative.

In the summer of 1942, Germany launched another offensive in the southern USSR against Stalingrad and the Caucasus, the Soviets again lost tremendous amountsby cation- and anion-exchange membranes (CEM and AEM, respectively), with different salinity solutions filled each layer. In this scheme, the chemical potential difference causes the selective transport of ions through the CEM and AEM, from the concentrate to the diluted solution. In this case, the electro-neutrality of the solutions in each compartment is maintained via redox reaction at the anode and cathode surface, causing the transfer of electrons into an external electric circuit and electrical power can be generated. Unlike RED, PRO technology uses semipermeable membranes, which allows permeation of the solvent and retention of solute. Here, the chemical potential difference between the solutions causes transport of water from low-pressure diluted salt solution to the high-pressure concentrated salt solution. As a result, the transport of water can be


the cation exchange resin was mechanically crushed and dried at 30 ${}^{\circ}C$ for 48 $h$. This crushed resin was sieved using a mesh, and the particles between 38 $\mathsf{\mu}$$m$ to 45 $\mathsf{\mu}$$m$ were collected. For the membrane preparation, we dissolved the PVC in the THF (1:20, *w*/*v*) using a glass reactor and stirred for 4 h. We then stirred in a stoichiometric amount of the previously collected cation exchange resin (1:1 *w*/*w*), followed by an ultrasonic bath for 30 $\min$. Lastly, the solution was stirred for another 15 $\min$. The whole preparation of the polymeric mixture was carried out at room temperature. We cast this mixture onto a glass plate, leaving it to dry at room temperature until total solvent evaporation. We submerged the membrane into NaCl 0.1with aqueous acid-base titration.

### 2.2.6. Charge Density {#sec2dot2dot6-membranes-09-00145}

In a reverse electrodialysis system, the electrical resistance and the permselectivity of the membrane are essential properties, since they are directly related to the maximum obtainable power; in turn, these properties can be determined through the density of fixed charges (${CD}_{fix}$) of the membrane \[[@B50-membranes-09-00145]\]. ${CD}_{fix}$ represents the milliequivalents of fixed groups by volume of water in the membrane, and can be calculated from the SD and IEC as

### 2.2.7. Permselectivity {#sec2dot2dot7-membranes-09-00145}

Membrane permselectivity (S) describes the degree to which ion exchange membranes exclude co-ions. A perfect membrane has no co-ion transport and hence a permselectivity of one, while a membrane with no ionic selectivity transports co-ions at the same rate as the solution and has a permselectivity of zero. The permselectivity was

The same reaction between the GA and the amines of PEI provoke a weak peak at 1621 $c$$m$^−1^, indicating the formation of the C=N group and reagent crosslinking \[[@B44-membranes-09-00145],[@B60-membranes-09-00145],[@B61-membranes-09-00145]\].

[Figure 3](#membranes-09-00145-f003){ref-type="fig"} presents the FTIR spectrum of the CEMs divided into two columns with the different reagents used to synthesize the unmodified (left column) and structurally modified (right column) membrane. The first column features the different reagents that form the CEM, starting with the PVC and resin Amberlyst-15 spectra with their principal peaks \[[@B62-membranes-09-00145],[@B63-membranes-09-00145],[@B64-membranes-09-00145]\]. For the final synthesized membrane, there is a peak at 3440 $c$$m$^−1^corresponding to the OH group; two peaks at 2910 $c$$m$^−1^ and 1425 $c$$m$^−1^ are derived from the PVC polymer and were detected at the same wavenumber but with less intensity. Finally, the peaks at 1634 $c$$m$^−1^, 1176 $c$$m$^−1^, 1008 $c$$m$^−1^, 832 $c$$m$^−1^, and 675 $c$$m$^−1^ correspond to the resin Amberlyst-15; however, these peaks appear to be shifted to slightly higher wavenumbers, suggesting an adequate crosslinking between the PVC and the resin Amberlyst-15 \[[@B43-membranes-09-00145],[@B65-membranes-09-00145]\].

The second column also shows the PVC and resin Amberlyst-15 spectra along with the spectrum for CA, the structural modifier agent, with its principal peaks \[[@B63-membranes-09-00145],[@B66-membranes-09-00145]\]. The modified-CEM presents a peak at 3437 $c$$m$^−1^ that corresponds to the OH group; there is also a peak at 2910 $c$$m$^−1^ corresponding to the CH stretch of the PVC.

The present invention generally relates to a lighting apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to a lighting apparatus that uses light emitting diodes (LEDs) to perform indirect lighting.
2. Description of the Background of the Invention
Traditionally, many lamps have used incandescent or high intensity discharge (HID) light sources. When mounted to a structure, such as a ceiling or a wall, such lamps may emit light directly through a lens below the light source. Recently, however, LEDs have been found to be very efficient light sources as compared to incandescent and HID light sources. As such, converting lighting systems from using HID and incandescent lights to LED lights in order to make use of LED efficiencies is desirable.
The use of point sources such as LEDs in


preparation and antibody labeling were as described ([@B33]). Antibodies used were as follows: hamster anti-CD11c (clone N418 1:300, eBioscience); rat anti-F4/80 (clone MCA4976 1:200, BioRad), rabbit anti-insulin (1:500, Cell Signaling); rat anti-endomucin (1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology); rabbit anti-fibronectin (clone AB1942 1:5,000, Chemicon); and mouse anti-collagen I (1:300, Abcam). Nuclei were labeled using dapi (Sigma). One to four slices were randomly selected from \>3 animals/groups. Images were acquired using a Zeiss LSM 780 confocal microscope and analyzed using Imaris (Bitplane) and ImageJ (NIH).

Statistical Analysis {#S2-9}
--------------------

Values are represented as mean ± SEM. Statistical tests were performed using GraphPad Prism. Normality was tested using D'Agostino--Pearson test, and comparisons were made using either unpaired Student's *t*-test, or two-tailed Mann--Whitney *U*-test, as appropriate. Multiple comparisons were made using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's *post hoc* test.To quantify alignment between T cell tracks and vessels, angle differences between track displacement vectors and vessel direction ([@B1]) (white lines, Figure [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}C) were measured for T cells close to or away from vessels (\<30 µm or \>30 µm) (Figure [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}D). Compared to other T cells in the imaging field, T cells in close proximity to vessels presented lower angle differences with vessel orientation, increased velocity, and fully ballistic motility (Figures [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}D--F). Thus, the vascular structure strongly influences all parameters of T cell migration in the PA. This is consistent with what was observed in the islet periphery in the NOD mouse model of T1D ([@B19]).

A set consisting of suspended TV and iPhone screens, complete with news crawl, doesn’t do anything to add to the production, nor does it provide any new insight into what we already know about media frenzies.

Unfortunately, that theme is simply tacked on to the narrative and has no resonance in the context of the play.)

                                 I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND

       A. Events Leading to Appellant’s Arrest

       Sometime in early 2016, Appellant (who was 27 years old) met K.S. (who was 16 years

old) at a carnival in Burlington, North Carolina. Appellant and K.S. thereafter developed a

friendship over the course of the next several months. On May 17, 2016, after being suspended

from school, K.S. snuck out of the house where she lived with her adoptive parents, and contacted

Appellant, informing him that she wanted to attendtestified that during the first week of their

journey, they slept in Appellant’s truck, and Appellant forced her to have both vaginal and anal

sex with him multiple times a day, against her will, both in the truck, as well as on the side of the

road. Subsequent testing on the cloth seats of Appellant’s truck revealed a sperm-cell DNA sample

containing a mixed DNA sample from Appellant and K.S.

child younger than 18 years of age, with the intent that the

victim “engage in or become the victim of sexual assault.”

       Prior to trial, Appellant moved to suppress his confession, arguing, among other things,

that the confession was “involuntary,” as it was the result of “coercion, intimidation, and/or

                                                 4
promises made by the State and its investigative agents.” In addition, Appellant argued that he

invoked his right to counsel during the interrogation, but the interrogating officers failedharm that the defendant did not receive

a fair and impartial trial. Id. at 26. However, if the defendant was not entitled to the jury charge

in the first instance, any error in the charge is considered harmless and does not require reversal of

the defendant’s conviction. See, e.g., Torres v. State, No. 08-13-00027-CR, 2016 WL 5404773,

at *3 (Tex.App.--El Paso Sept. 28, 2016, pet. ref'd) (not designated for publication) (recognizing

that when a defendant was not entitled to an instruction, but the trial court nevertheless gives the

instruction, any error in the instruction is harmless), citing Hughes v. State, 897 S.W.2d 285, 301

(Tex.Crim.App. 1994).

sexual offense. At Appellant’s punishment hearing, the State’s prosecutor presented evidence that

the El Paso District Attorney’s office had sent a letter to the records division for the superior court

in Alamance County, seeking certified judgments and sentencing information for William

Geoffery Thacker and/or William Geoffrey Thacker, with a date of birth of 10/17/1988. In

response, the court sent the district attorney’s office court documents for an individual named

“William Geoffery Thacker,” sharing that birth date, who had been found guilty and convicted of

one count of a “second degree sexual offense” on or about March 13, 2008, for an offense

committed on February 16, 2007.

previously convicted.”).

       The State may link the defendant to a prior conviction in a number of different ways,

including, (1) an admission or stipulation by the defendant, (2) testimony of a person who was

present when the defendant was convicted of the specified crime and can identify the defendant as

that person, or (3) documentary proof (such as a judgment) that contains sufficient information to

establish the existence of a prior conviction and the defendant's identity as the person convicted.

Flowers, 220 S.W.3d at 921-22. As Appellant points out, the most common method of linking a

defendant to a prior conviction is to use expert witness testimony to establish that the defendant’s

fingerprints match that of the person convicted of the prior offense. Beck,


longer patient survival time \[[@B16]\]. In the study of Chu et al. \[[@B21]\], low Notch2 expression was associated with unfavorable clinicopathologic features and a poor prognosis of CRC patients, consistent with our data. Nevertheless, they did not compare it with the LEF1 expression. The significantly different outcomes between patients expressing high and low levels of LEF1 and Notch2 suggested that LEF1 and Notch2 may be used to predict the clinical outcome. These findings are valuable in the providing potential therapeutic targets for the future treatment of CRC.

It has been shown that LEF1 is critical for the adhesion and/or migration of tumor cells, indicating that LEF1 is probably involved in tumor invasion and metastasis \[[@B12]\]. LEF1 protein belongs to a high mobility group (HMG) family, which has been implicatedconclusion, we have shown the possible coregulation of Wnt and Notch signaling pathways through the association of LEF1 expression and Notch2 expression with some of the CRC clinical characteristics and their opposite prognostic roles in CRC. This combined status could potentially be used as an even more efficient prognostic predictor in CRC patients. Based on our results, we conclude that LEF1 and Notch2 play key roles in CRC tumorigenesis and could potentially represent new targets for the design of new antitumor therapies.

terms of geometric data ([@gruson-lazarsfeld-peskine], [@pinkham], [@lazarsfeld87], [@ran], [@bertram-ein-lazarsfeld], [@bayer-mumford]). From this perspective, the ideals of subspace arrangements provide a test case for the behavior of the regularity of ideals of reduced but possibly singular schemes.

Ideals of subspace arrangements also have connections with invariant theory and combinatorics. In [@noether], E. Noether gave a proof which showed that for the action of a finite group $G$ on a polynomial ring $k[V]$ induced by a representation of $G$ on $V$, the generators of $k[V]^G$ have degree less than or equal to the order of $G$ as long as the characteristic of $k$ is zero or if the characteristic is positive and greater than the order of $G$. For some time it was an open question as to whether or not


1-regular, we may assume inductively that $J_i$ is $(d-1)$-regular.

Notice that if $\sum I_i + L \neq {\mathfrak m}$ then we can view the problem as living in a polynomial ring in fewer variables, say $S' = k[x_0, \ldots, x_r]$ with $r < n$. In this case the generators of the ideal $I = I_1 \cap \dots \cap I_d+L$ also live in $S'$. If we know that the ideal in $S'$ is $d$-regular, then the $d$-regularity of the ideal in the larger ring follows by the flatness of $S'[x_{r+1}, \ldots, x_n]$ over $S'$. But we may assume $d$-regularity in the smaller ring inductively since the result is trivial for [$\mathbb{P}^0$]{}.

Finally, we show that $I$ is saturated in degrees $d$ and higher under the assumption that $\sum I_i +L = // Step 1: print tag + information
        level = level + "    ";
        // Step 2: for each child, call child.write()

Wound dressings with layers for absorbing body fluids are known in the art. Absorbent layers are provided for the uptake of body fluids, especially wound exudate so as to enable the wound to be maintained by the wound dressing in a wound-healing environment.
Much effort has been directed to enhancing the rate of uptake and the capacity of the wound dressing, particular the absorbent layer, to uptake body fluids. In response to this quest, absorbent layers in wound dressings have been provided with hydrocolloids, superabsorbents, and synthetic materials which have extensive capacity to absorb body fluids, especially wound exudate such as disclosed in Assignee's pending U.S. application Ser. No. 08/519,433 filed Aug. 25, 1995, incorporated herein by reference.
Increasing the capacity and rate of fluid uptake within a wound dressing


creates problems, particularly in assuring that body fluids do not migrate from the wound dressing. The migration of body fluids, particularly wound exudate from the wound dressing, is disadvantageous because the migrating fluid a) can contaminate the area adjoining the wound area, b) is aesthetically unpleasant for the patient and c) can contaminate medical personnel which is especially a problem in the treatment of patients with communicable diseases such as AIDS and hepatitis, and d) dry the wound bed.
It would therefore be a significant advance in the wound dressing art to form wound dressings which have the advantages of highly absorbent layers for the uptake of body fluids as well as the ability to retain the body fluids within a designated and limited absorbent region so that bodya credibility analysis, the IJ “assesses the applicant’s claim only for

The Detroit News | The Detroit News

Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh returns to the small screen Thursday night.

Harbaugh enjoyed a cameo on the Comedy Central show, "Detroiters" — during an episode in which the coach participates in a charity event involving fowling, an increasingly popular activity that's a hybrid between football and bowling.

Decked out in his traditional work attire, including a blue hat with the maize block M and his Lululemon khakis, Harbaugh misses on three throws, becoming increasingly frustrated with each one.

"It's totally different mechanics," Harbaugh says after miss No. 1. "You think LeBron James would be good at Pop-a-shot?"

After another miss, Harbaugh throws down his hat; after another, he chucks it.

The latter made for some good fodder


Effects of diazepam on closed- and open-loop optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) in humans.
The effects of diazepam on optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) eye movements were studied under closed-loop and open-loop conditions in healthy humans. The open-loop condition was achieved by adding the eye-movement velocity signal of OKN to the computer-generated signal controlling the moving stimulus grating. Each of four subjects received a single oral dose of 5 mg diazepam or a placebo on two separate days in a double-blind randomized fashion. OKN eye movements were measured 90 min after administration of the treatments. As compared to placebo, diazepam significantly reduced the gain of open-loop OKN, but did not modify the gain of closed-loop OKN. The results indicate that the OKN gain under the open-loop condition is a more sensitive detector of-Painter misses too many passes and is the main reason for the offense's problems(Just because a quarterback isn't "accurate" and doesn't "read defenses" or "go through progressions" doesn't mean he should be held accountable...[all of these have been complaints of Tiller about Painter this season, mind you])

question whether Russia's true purpose for providing the "humanitarian" aid was to supply arms to pro-Russian separatists.

"This is a blatant breach of Russia’s international commitments, including those made recently in Berlin and Geneva, and a further violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty by Russia," Rasmussen said. "It can only deepen the crisis in the region, which Russia itself has created and has continued to fuel. The disregard of international humanitarian principles raises further questions about whether the true purpose of the aid convoy is to support civilians or to resupply armed separatists."

The macro replaces all occurrences of its parameters with the arguments; so

becomes

which is nonsense. The compiler expects a member name (an identifier, referred to as an "unqualified-id" by the language syntax), but sees (0) instead.
In the second version, x isn't a parameter name, so dest.x is not changed.

    p.y = y;
    p.z = z;

B-cell ALL according to hematogones levels may lead to treatment modifications or alternative treatment strategies in selective populations. Future research should figure out the different roles played by hematogones and CD34+ myeloblasts in the process of hematopoiesis. In addition, the prognosis value of hematogones need to be evaluated with wider spectrum of ALL cases, such as MRD-positive or with genetic abnormalities.

Materials and Methods {#Sec8}
=====================

Patient recruitment and sample collection {#Sec9}
-----------------------------------------

From 2014 to 2018, the adult B-cell line ALL patients who were diagnosed and treated in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were enrolled in the current study. Bone marrow aspirations were extracted at the day 28 of induction chemotherapy and confirmed as MRD-negative by multi-parameter flow cytometry analysis. Genetic abnormalities are highly correlated with prognosis, such as *BCR-ABL1, TEL-AML1,CD34+ myeloblasts were analyzed statistically. The change of WBC were not used to evaluate hematopoietic recovery, as the quantity of which was significantly affected by invasive leukemic cells in peripheral blood during diagnosis.

Statistical analysis {#Sec12}
--------------------

Spearman Rank Correlation was utilized to analyze the frequencies of hematogones and CD34+ myeloblasts. RFS among groups with different levels of precursor cells was plotted with Kaplan-Meier curves. Multivariate Cox regression was used to evaluate the potential risk factors. Comparison of peripheral blood cells among different groups was achieved by one-way ANOVA. A *p* value \< 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. The analyses were done with SPSS (version 20.0).

Appointment of part-time members to the Takeovers Panel

I am pleased to announce the appointment of five new members to the Takeovers Panel.

The purpose of the Panel is to provide a mechanism for peer review of takeovers activity, with the aim of being more efficient, less formal and more expeditious than the courts. The functions and powers of the Panel are conferred by the Corporations Act 2001 and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001.

The members appointed to the Panel are:

Ms Stephanie Charles

Ms Nicola Wakefield Evans

Ms Karen Phin

Ms Sarah Rennie

Mr Bill Koeck

All members have been appointed until 29 April 2018.

These appointments will maintain the high level of skills and experience available to the Panel, ensuring that it has appropriately qualified members to deal with the range of complexto show that the enzyme is localized in fibrillar centres and in the transition area between them and the dense fibrillar component, in parallel with the nucleolar DNA. These results, together with previous autoradiographic, cytochemical and immunocytochemical results, in this and other species, lead us to conclude that the activation of rDNA for transcription occurs in the fibrillar centres and pre-rRNA synthesis is expressed at the transition area between fibrillar centres and the dense fibrillar component. Fibrillar centres are connected to each other by extended RNA polymerase-bound DNA fibres, presumably active in transcription. This work provides evidence of the high evolutionary conservation of some domains of the large subunit of RNA polymerases and of the existence of fibrillar centres in the nucleolus of plant cells, totally homologous to

Kreios's second son, Pallas, mated with Styx, a daughter of Ocean and the chief river of the Underworld, and she bore him a daughter, Nike (Victory), and three sons, Zelos (Aspiration), Kratos (Power) and Bia (Might). All four of these children would later become the constant companions of Zeus, an honour accorded them after they and their mother supported him in his war against the Titans. Styx herself was honoured by Zeus's decree that the most solemn oath the gods might swear would be by her waters. Whenever one of the gods wished tohe carried on, and when a bystander objected, Erysichthon lopped off his head.

The tree fell, and all the nymphs who had often danced beneath it begged Demeter to punish its destroyer, so she laid an insatiable hunger on Erysichthon while he was asleep. When he woke up he could think of nothing but food: he ate continually, and the more he ate, the more he longed to eat. He used up all his worldly wealth buying food, and still he was afflicted with a raging greed. At last, to raise more money, he sold his daughter Mestra into slavery. She had once been the lover of Poseidon, so now she prayed for help to the sea-god and he granted her the power of metamorphosis. She escaped by turning

These warriors, and many others, gathered together their ships and men and assembled on the eastern coast of Greece at Aulis in Boiotia. Homer's catalogue of ships and leaders in the _Iliad_ (2.494–759) records that the fleet consisted of 29 contingents of 1,186 ships in all, with 44 leaders from 175 towns or other localities. The whole would have comprised, according to a plausible calculation, about 100,000 men.

When Pelops began to think of marriage, he chose as his future wife the beautiful Hippodameia, only daughter of Oinomaos, son of the war-god Ares and king of Pisa in the western Peloponnesian district of Elis. To win her hand would be a dangerous enterprise, for Oinomaos had no intention of letting his daughter marry: either he was in love with her himself, or an oracle had warned him that he would die by the hand of the man who married her.

Exploring a peer-led strategy to link recent Latino immigrants to HIV testing This R21 application proposes 2 years of exploratory research that will inform the design of a peer chain referral strategy to engage recent Latino immigrant men (RLIM) in voluntary counseling and testing (VCT). RLIM tend to arrive in the US healthy and at prime working age from low prevalence areas. However, in the US, RLIM rapidly adopt risky practices and become disproportionally affected by HIV. The vulnerability to HIV among RLIM has been attributed to structural and motivational factors, including uncertain immigration status, lack of resources, disconnection from services, high levels of stigma, and unawareness of HIV risk, factors that also hamper RLIM's access to venue- based and outreach HIV prevention efforts.

I would like to provide an update on Aurora Central’s school performance rating and what it means for students and families. For the last four years, the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) has assigned Aurora Central a Priority Improvement / Turnaround plan. This assigned plan is based on low student achievement, including state assessment scores and growth data. Aurora Central is one of 30 schools across the state in such a position.

When any school is in its fifth year of having a Priority Improvement / Turnaround plan without significant gains in achievement or growth, the Education Accountability Act of 2009 requires the school district to consider possible alternatives to the current school structure. The CDE will consider these alternatives and recommend


us a lot about what we’re going to be hearing from these candidates for the next year and a half.

Speaking from the CPAC stage, Rubio said that “if we wanted to defeat [ISIS] militarily, we could do it.” But we haven’t done that, because President Obama “doesn’t want to upset Iran.” I’m sure many in the crowd nodded their heads. First you have the implication that despite the thousands of air strikes we’ve launched against ISIS, we’re not really trying to defeat them, and that doing so would be simple if only Obama had the backbone. But he won’t, because he’s so solicitous of another of our enemies, Iran. If you know that this president is a Muslim-coddling, terrorist-sympathizing weakling, it makes perfect sense.

But in reality, Iran, aShiite country, despises the Sunni extremists of ISIS. ISIS threatens the government of Iraq, which is Iran’s ally (or lapdog, depending on how you look at it), which is why Iran has sent troops there to fight the terrorist group. Eliminating ISIS is exactly what Iran wants us to do.

Perhaps Marco Rubio understands that, and if given the chance he’d revise his comments. But doing so wouldn’t play too well with the people whose votes he needs, because it would be an acknowledgement that — guess what — things can get pretty complicated in the Middle East. We can be trying to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons yet still have shared goals with them when it comes to another issue.

That simplifying impulse is what got Walker in


resolve, the problems will melt before us. We all know how well that worked out.

Try to imagine a Republican presidential candidate who saw the world as a complicated place where sometimes we have to choose between bad options, being strong only gets you so far, and you have to consider the possibility that your actions could have unintended consequences. Would he be willing to say that to his party’s primary voters? Or would he tell them that actually, the answers are all simple, if only we have the courage to see them clearly and act?

I think we all know the answer to that. Campaigns in both parties are seldom going to be full of nuanced exploration of policy issues. But the GOP primary campaign forces its contenders toof the One Ring of post-colonial theory, forged in secret Ivy League seminar rooms by Barack Sauron Obama. On the famous theory expressed in David Mamet’s play “Edmond” that every fear hides a wish, I wonder which of these guys really dreams about destroying America.


is increasingly present in cases of violence such as fights or aggression, in many cases accompanied by the use of knives and firearms. Serious behavioural disorders are being seen more and more frequently in the healthcare services, and in clinics we are witnessing a worrying increase on a day-to-day basis of conflictive episodes associated with the use of cocaine amongst our patients. This damage does not only affect a marginal population, but instead all levels of society, and often goes unnoticed or unreported. Coordination between different institutions and healthcare areas is essential in order to obtain this information, and in this way to provide a more precise picture of the consequences of Cocaine consumption, as today we are still far from having quantified its true dimension.     else:
