There have been a number of discussions recently in Romance around the question of whether the genre has become excessive in its portrayal of sex, violence, and sexual violence, especially in the work of authors like EL James, Kristen Ashley, and R. Lee Smith, among others.

Although I have not (yet) read all of the authors whose work is being used to exemplify this new perceived trend, I do think that among those I have read, there is definitely some envelope pushing. What I’m less convinced of is that they represent a more extreme representation of sex and violence than has previously been present in the genre.

As I’ve argued before, I think the genre tends to ebb and flow, and that when a book catches fire among readers, itspoke he ran his free hand over her thigh. She trembled, and her eyes unfocused when his fingers brushed the back of her knee.

“Don’t,” she said again, fighting for air.

“Don’t what? Find a weakness, exploit it?” Experimentally, he caressed that sensitive skin, tracing his fingers up toward the heat, then back again. Her breath was coming in pants now as she fought to roll away from him.

“Too late, it seems,” he murmured. “You want the kick without the intimacy?” He began a trail of slow, open-mouthed kisses at the base of her throat, working his way down while her body shivered like a plucked wire beneath his. “You don’t need a partner for that. And you have one tonight. I intend to give as much pleasure as I


Also, Tack can express his feelings. When, for example, he finally pushes Tyra too far and she leaves him for a while, he surprises her by issuing a pretty straightforward, even sensitive, apology:

“You give it good, darlin’, that attitude. So good, I thought that was you. That isn’t you. Not all of you. I got on my hands the girl at the party
who looked at me like I was the only man on the planet even when she was in a sea of people, took my hand with all the trust in the world that I was gonna make things good for her and followed me to my bed. You fucked up making the wrong decision Friday night. But I fucked up forgetting about that girl.”

I closed mywas glad when the genre moved away from that.

The spanking scene in Outlander wasn’t a deal breaker for me, but I had many other issues with the book.

I have The Last Hour of Gann in my TBR pile but am hesitant to start it in part due to how much I’ve heard about the level of violence in the book.

While the murder scenes/descriptions can make me squeamish, the level of violence in the In Death books doesn’t bother me. Roarke tranquing Eve in the early books doesn’t bother me either as Eve and Roarke are equals in their relationship. But to be honest I can’t remember if it bothered me when I first read it as I have reread the books so many times. (And just FYI, more


killed the heroine’s father; or Mary Jo Putney writes her way out of opening a book with a rape. After all, that love conquers all is fundamental to romance, isn’t it?

I only started reading Romance a few years ago, so that may color how I feel about a lot of books — there’s no nostalgia involved. Every quote you had up there had me squirming with discomfort save the last, and even then I’d be ready to toss the book down if her “let me go” wasn’t listened to. I specifically haven’t read the Motorcycle Man books because I’m pretty sure they’re not something I’d enjoy, although I am tempted by the sheer number of recommendations they’ve gotten.

And that’s okay, I don’t have to like something everyone elsecall up details without too much effort, but I can think of at least a couple…

I absolutely inhaled the whole ‘Administration’ series by Manna Francis. Starts with ‘Mind Fuck’. It’s about a straight up evil dude, Toreth, who falls in love with a really thoughtful, smart, deeply moral man, Warrick. Their relationship works because from the very start, Warrick is REALLY firm about setting boundaries. He’s able to hold the line partly because he’s so clear-eyed about it, but partly because he has a lot more social status/capital than Toreth. So even though he’s the softer & more giving character, he has leverage.

But that’s an ‘extreme’ read & Toreth is an ‘extreme’ character, totally amoral. I was really thinking about the fact that more or less normal people

One of the most memorable was when the heroine’s father (I think) flayed the back off her indigenous–of mixed ancestry but I’m not using the word Ryan used to describe him–teenage boyfriend. When as an adult he returned big, bad, and steaming mad, he proceeded to do the same to his blonde traitor. She was bedridden for days. And when they finally reconsumated their passion, I’m pretty sure her faithful woman servant had to give her a salve–some magical indigenous mixture no doubt– to soothe her whosawhatsit because golly, dind’t that passion scorch her pretty well. The salve thing was also a favouriteagainst her, and I have real problems with that. But I could see how it might work for someone else.

What bothers me more than the existence of scenes like that, whether they work for me or not, is the fact that they so often go the same way: hero tells heroine she doesn’t always need to be in control and forces sexual submission on her; he’s rewarded for so doing in the text; she realises that he’s oh-so-super right. What about him? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hero use the ‘you don’t always need to be in control’ line who couldn’t stand to hear it back — when the hero says ‘You don’t always need to be in control,’ part of me snaps, ‘Oh, but you

abstract: 'An *arborescence* of a directed graph $\Gamma$ is a spanning tree directed toward a particular vertex $v$. The arborescences of a graph rooted at a particular vertex may be encoded as a polynomial $A_v(\Gamma)$ representing the sum of the weights of all such arborescences. The arborescences of a graph and the arborescences of a covering graph $\tilde{\Gamma}$ are closely related. Using *voltage graphs* as means to construct arbitrary regular covers, we derive a novel explicit formula for the ratio of $A_v(\Gamma)$ to the sum of arborescences in the lift $A_{\tilde{v}}(\tilde{\Gamma})$ in terms of the determinant of Chaiken’s voltage Laplacian matrix, a generalization of the Laplacian matrix. Chaiken’s results on the relationship between the voltage Laplacian and vector fields on $\Gamma$ are reviewed, and we provide a newconjecture suggests there may be a combinatorial interpretation of $\det_{\BZ[E]} \mathscr{L}(\Gamma)$.

The rest of the paper will proceed as follows. Section \[backgroundsection\] covers the background and conventions necessary to read this paper. In this section, we also discuss the Laplacian matrix and the Matrix Tree Theorem in greater detail, and give additional topological background on covering graphs. In particular, we introduce the *voltage graph*, a construction that allows us to compactly describe arbitrary regular covering graphs $\tilde{\Gamma}$ by assigning a group-valued voltage to each edge of $\Gamma$. In Section \[sec: main-thm\], we prove the main theorem. We also describe restriction of scalars and prove Corollary \[primecyclic\]. Section \[sec: vec-fields\] reviews some known results relating *vector fields* on voltage graphs to the voltage Laplacian. Vector fields are closely related to arborescences,


arborescences rooted at $v_i$ is equal to the the minor of $L(\Gamma)$ obtained by removing the $i$-th row and column: $$\begin{aligned}
    A_{v_i}(\Gamma) = \det L_{i}^i(\Gamma).\end{aligned}$$

Covering graphs
---------------

A *k-fold cover* of $\Gamma = (V, E)$ is a graph $\tilde{\Gamma} = (\tilde{V}, \tilde{E})$ that is a $k$-fold covering space of $G$ in the topological sense that preserves edge weight. In order to use this definition, we need to find a way to formally topologize directed graphs in a way that encodes edge orientation. To avoid this, we instead give a more concrete alternative definition of a covering graph. The graph $\tilde{\Gamma} = (\tilde{V}, \tilde{E})$ is a $k$-fold covering graph of $\Gamma = (V, E)$ if there exists a projection map $\pi: \tilde{\Gamma} \rightarrow \Gamma$ such that

1.  $\pi$the weight of $e$.

Given a $G$-voltage graph $\Gamma$, we may construct an $|G|$-fold covering graph of $\Gamma$

known as the *derived graph* $\tilde{\Gamma} = (\tilde{V}, \tilde{E}, \wt)$. The derived graph of a voltage graph is a graph with vertex set $\tilde{V} = V \times G$ and edge set $$\begin{aligned}
    \tilde{E}:=\left\{\left[v \times x, w \times (gx)\right] : x \in G, e=(v,w)\in\Gamma, \nu(e)=g\in G\right\}.\end{aligned}$$

\[ex1\] Let $G = \BZ/3\BZ = \{1, g, g^2\}$, and let $\Gamma$ be the following $G$-volted graph, where edges labeled $(x, y)$ have edge weight $x$ and voltage $y$:

Then the derived graph $\tilde{\Gamma}$, with vertices $(v, y) = v^y$ and with edges labeled by weight, is:

While derived graphs night seem to be a very special subset of covering graphs, they in fact give rise to


0 & \zeta_3^2c\\
        \zeta_3^2 d & e  & 0
    \end{bmatrix}\\
    &= \begin{bmatrix}
        (1 - \zeta_3)a + b & -b & 0\\
        0 &c & -\zeta_3^2c\\
        -\zeta_3^2 d & -e & d  + e
    \end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}$$

Notation {#sec:notations}
--------

Before diving into the main result, we summarize the conventions and notation that will be used consistently throughout the rest of the paper. For a graph $\Gamma=(V,E,\wt)$ and a covering graph $\tilde\Gamma=(\tilde V,\tilde E,\wt)$, we set

-   The parameter $n$ refers to the number of vertices of $\Gamma$, and we write $V=\{v_i:i\in[n]\}$

-  \BQ(\zeta_3)[E]$, which we treat as an extension over $\BQ$. The Galois norm in this case is the same as the complex norm, since the Galois conjugate of an element of $\BQ(\zeta_3)[E]$ is its complex conjugate. This norm is $$\begin{aligned}
    \det \mathscr{L}(\Gamma) \det \conj{\mathscr{L}(\Gamma)}  &= \left((1-\zeta_3) bcd + (1 - \zeta_3)acd + (1-\zeta_3^2)bce + (1- \zeta_3)(1 - \zeta_3^2)ace \right)\\
    &\cdot \left((1-\zeta_3^2) bcd + (1 - \zeta_3^2)acd + (1-\zeta_3)bce + (1- \zeta_3^2)(1 - \zeta_3)ace\right)\\
    &= 3a^2c^2d^2 + 3b^2c^2d^2 + 6abc^2d^2 + 9a^2c^2e^2 + 3b^2c^2e^2 + 9abc^2e^2 + 9a^2c^2de + 3b^2c^2de + 12abc^2de\end{aligned}$$ which matches $\det_{\BZ[E]} \mathscr{L}(\Gamma)$ from Example \[restrictionexample\].

Triangularization
-----------------

In this section we build up the machinery to prove our main result, \[bigboi\].

To prove Theorem \[bigboi\], we carefully apply a change


follows from the lemma, since $L_1^1(\tilde{\Gamma}) = A_{v_1^1}(\Gamma)$ and $\det U_{1}^1 = A_{1}(\Gamma) \det_{\BZ[E]} \mathscr{L}(\Gamma)$. We do so by performing the change of basis $S$ into two steps: the first will multiply the minor by $k$, and the second will leave it unchanged.

The two-step change of basis
----------------------------

Here is the first step:

\[lem1\] Let $L$ be the Laplacian matrix of some graph $\Gamma = (V, E, \wt)$. Let $P$ be the change of basis matrix that maps $v_{i} \mapsto v_i + \sum_{j \in J} \alpha_jv_j$, for some $J\subseteq [n]\setminus\{i\}$ and $\alpha_j\in\mathbb{R}$ for $j\in J$, but leaves all other basis vectors unchanged. That is, $P$ is the identity matrix but with $\alpha_j$ in entry $(i,j)$ for each $j\in J$. Then $$\begin{aligned}
    \det (P^{-1}LP)_{i}^i = A_{v_i}(\Gamma) + \sum_{j \in\in [k]} v_{1}^{s}$, and let $Q$ be the change of basis that maps $v_{i}^{1} \mapsto \sum_{r \in [k]} v_i^r$ for $i > 1$, which satisfies the hypotheses of Lemma \[lem2\]. Letting $S$ be the matrix from Lemma \[trilem\], we have $S = QP$. Thus, by \[lem1,lem2\], $$\begin{aligned}
        \det U_1^1 &= \det (QPL(\tilde{\Gamma})P^{-1}Q^{-1})_1^1\\
        &= \det (PL(\tilde{\Gamma})P^{-1})_1^1\\
        &= \sum_{r \in [k]} A_{v_{1}^r}(\Gamma)
    \end{aligned}$$ By symmetry, $$\begin{aligned}
        \sum_{r \in [k]} A_{v_1^r}(\Gamma)= k A_{v_{1}^1}(\Gamma)
    \end{aligned}$$ However, from the triangularization given by Lemma \[trilem\], and by the Matrix Tree Theorem, we know that $$\begin{aligned}


    \nu(e) : &\mathrm{else}
        \end{cases}
    \end{aligned}$$ Then:

1.  For any cycle $c$ of $\Gamma$, we have $\nu(c) = \nu_{v,g}(c)$.

2.  The determinant of the voltage Laplacian of $\Gamma$ with respect to the voltage $\nu$ is equal to the determinant of the voltage Laplacian of $\Gamma$ with respect to $\nu_{v,g}$. That is, $$\begin{aligned}
                \det \mathscr{L}(V, E, \wt, \nu) = \det \mathscr{L}(V, E, \wt, \nu_{v,g})
            \end{aligned}$$

<!-- -->

1.  If $c$ does not contain the vertex $v$, or if $c$ is a loop at $v$, then the voltages of all edges in$c$ remain unchanged. Otherwise, $c$ contains exactly one ingoing edge $e$ of $v$ and one outgoing edge $f$ of $v$, so that $$\begin{aligned}
    \nu_{v,h}(c) &= \frac{\nu(c)}{\nu(e)\nu(f)}[g\nu(e)][g^{-1} \nu(f)]\\
            &= \nu(c)
            \end{aligned}$$ as desired.

2.  The matrix $\mathscr{L}(V, E, \wt, \nu)$ may be transformed into the matrix $\mathscr{L}(V, E, \wt, \nu_{v,g})$ by multiplying the row corresponding to $v$ by $g$ and multiplying the column corresponding to $v$ by $g^{-1}$, so the determinant remains unchanged.

This lemma will allow us some freedom to change the voltage of $\Gamma$ as needed in the following proof.

Denote the left-hand side of the theorem as $$\begin{aligned}

LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. cable company Comcast took control of Sky on Tuesday after it acquired the 39 percent of the company owned by Twenty-First Century Fox, the rival it defeated with a $40 billion knock-out bid for the European pay-TV group last month.

Comcast said it held nearly 77 percent of Sky’s shares, making its takeover wholly unconditional.

Brian L. Roberts, chairman and CEO of Comcast, said he was pleased to become the majority owner of Sky on Tuesday.

Seventy‐two cases were DLBCL, not otherwise specified (NOS), nine cases were T‐cell‐rich B‐cell lymphoma, and 11 cases were mediastinal B‐cell lymphoma variants. Twelve cases were considered intermediate between DLBCL and BL (2.5% of all mature cell lymphomas, 6.4% of B‐cell lymphomas). Only five cases were low‐grade B‐cell lymphomas (1.03%, 1.3%). In this low‐grade group, one case was follicular lymphoma, and four were extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALT type).

that another epidemiological factor is involved to explain the differences between the North of the country and the Southeast/South; this raises a new question that may be answered in future studies. The gender distribution for both main types of HL demonstrated an important variation in the male--female ratio with NLPHL showing a male--female ratio of 6∶1, with CHL only 1.4∶1.

In general, it has been described that MC is the most prevalent CHL subtype in children in underdeveloped countries.[@b61-cln_65p1267],[@b62-cln_65p1267] We found NS to be the most frequent subtype (361 cases, 76.9%). Considering only the 124 cases in 10‐year‐olds or younger, NS constituted 62% of this group, and MC constituted 30%. On the other hand, older patients (older than 11 years old) comprised 80.7% of NS but only 15.9% of MC.Mixed cellularity HL is the second most common subtype in pediatric patients in Brazil, affecting mainly the younger population.

It has been described that NLPHL and MCHL subtypes are more common in the prepubertal child, accounting for 10--12% and 30--35% of HL, respectively.

is a case of trichromatism (three forms) for Rathian because all three "subspecies" (more precisely: morphs) live in the same area.

The differences between the males and females are visible at the head. While Rathalos have seemingly broader faces because of the bigger scales on the side of their head, Rathians don't have them but a spike on the chin. This spike is used for piercing smaller prey to feed them to the youngs. Unlike Rathalos Rathians grow on their upper back a fur of needle-like hair. The club on the tail also differs depending on the gender. While Rathalos have big spikes at the side of the club and one big one at the end, the tail of Rathian grow several thin, spiky scales at the end andowner an intimidating appearance. But that doesn't only apply to other individuals of one species with the same gender or enemies but also individuals of the other sex. And this situation which one individual chooses its potential partner by look is called sexual selection. The choosing is almost always done by the female while the male tries to seduce her with his beautiful coloration. The brighter the colors the better the chance to be the lucky one who can breed. Let's apply this knowledge at the case of Rathian and Rathalos. Because the regular Rathalos is the more colorful counterpart, I believe Rathian is the one who chooses her partner. The color contrast, brightness and other signs can show the female how healthy the Rathalos is. These parameters


suppose my neighbor did not particularly appreciate waking up to that moment of stellar parenting. She was probably already up, come to think of it; our boys had been pummeling one another for at least forty-five minutes by that point.

Crappy disciplinarian though I was being, that note got my Mama Bear up. The appropriate thing to do seemed to be to ignore my kids for a half-an-hour while I crafted a response. A two-page response that detailed the things we have already done to limit the noise and listed the loud noises coming from her house, which include but is no way limited to her teenaged son bursting out with cringe-inducing opera singing late into the night.

“Perhaps you can do what we do and simply close your windowsbraided a second loaf for her.

“Is it for our crazy neighbor?” he asked.

“You might not want to call her that to her face. OK, kiddo?”

“Why we bringing her bread?” the three-year-old wanted to know.

“Because, Benjamin,” I replied, “you are the loudest person in the world and you wake her up.”

We went on over, carrying our loaf wrapped in a towel. Fortunately, the door was opened by her housekeeper fighting to keep back the bevy of yapping dogs. We handed over the bread and made our escape. I spent the rest of the day dodging past her house, not wanting to talk to her, hoping she would carry on avoiding any actual face-to-face contact.

The next afternoon, we came home to find a small pot of roses on our front


all the way to the ceiling. Maybe they were trying to break out through the roof. Lights up at night so there must be people there, but its apparently a few days walk (which means it must be miles away) so no one here really knows for sure. Apparently I got incredibly lucky sleeping out in the open for a week without getting ripped to bits by the staff. That's me. Lucky lucky lucky. We found some food in the shop. Guess the staff restocked it during the night, which was nice of them. There was a telephone on the wall, so I figured I'd try it out. There was a voice on the other end, but they were just talking nonsense. Random words strung together with noin them. We had to haul the bodies away in the morning. Apparently the dead ones will attract more during the night, so we had to get them away from Exchange. We have a couple of those trolley things they use to move big boxes around, so we loaded them up and took them over to Pickup. Apparently people just name everything in here after whatever sign is hanging overhead. Pickup was grisly. There were hundreds, maybe thousands of dead staff all piled up. There was no smell, which was a blessing. Apparently in addition to not bleeding, these things don't rot either. My curiosity got the better of me while we were unloading them, so I took a look at one of the more cut-up ones. They're


Army Gen. Valery Gerasimov also warned the U.S. Tuesday, if it were to launch airstrikes against Syria.

“In the event of a threat to our military servicemen’s lives, Russia’s Armed Forces will take retaliatory measures to target both the missiles and their delivery vehicles,” Gerasimov said, state-run media TASS News Agency reported.

On Monday, an airstrike, reportedly by Israel, attacked a Syrian government air base, killing an estimated 14 people, in response to Assad’s attack on his own people.

BREAKING: Russian Defense Ministry says Israel was behind airstrike in Syria, fired 8 missiles at a Syrian government air base.

Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said earlier this week that the U.S. won’t rule out airstrikes on Syria after the chemical attack.

Wow, talk about a psychological blind spot...the entire time, from reading the
submitted title to the article itself, I had read "Twitch" as "Twitter" (while
half-wondering, "why are they going after news broadcasters?"). Inflated
follower counts are a problem on Twitter, especially when lending credibility
to an account, but I don't think Twitter will really go out of its way to
fight them. Users like having that followers number be high, no matter the
lack of substance, as evidence at how pissed everyone was when Instagram

It could take weeks for Toronto drivers to move on from the loss of the Bay Street ‘hot wheels’ ramp when trying to move off the Gardiner Expressway.

Like a tractor trailer inching down the now-jammed Jarvis Street off-ramp, traffic modeling experts say getting urban commuters to change their habits takes time and in most cases – a bit of personal frustration.

“Until people actually experience the extra delay, it’s hard to see change,” said Baher Abdulhai, a University of Toronto professor and the director of the city’s Intelligent Transportation Systems Centre.

“You get stuck once in traffic and maybe you will re-think it the next time. The experiential part is what triggers the change,” Abdulhai said.

In the lead up to the ramp closure, the city had a strong publicity campaign

Introduction
============

The asymptotic behaviour of return- and hitting-time distributions of (very) small sets in ergodic probability preserving dynamical systems has been studied in great detail, and there is now a well-developed theory, both for specific types of maps and sets, and for general abstract systems.

For infinite measure preserving situations, however, results are scarce. Only recently some concrete classes of prototypical systems have been studied in [@PS], [@PS2], and [@PSZ2], where distributional limit theorems for certain natural sequences of sets were established. The purpose of the present note is to discuss some basic aspects of return- and hitting-time limits for asymptotically rare events in the setup of abstract infinite ergodic theory. **General setup.** Throughout, *all measures are understood to be* $\sigma$*-finite*. We study *measure preserving transformations* $T$ (not


of positive measure with $\mu(E_{k})\rightarrow0$. Then the normalized return-time distributions of the $E_{k}$ converge to $\mathcal{H}_{\alpha}$, $$\mu_{E_{k}}(\gamma_{T}(\mu(E_{k}))\cdot\varphi_{E_{k}}\leq t)\Longrightarrow
H_{\alpha}(t)\text{ \quad as }k\rightarrow\infty\text{,}
\label{Eq_Ret_Cge_H_alpha}%$$ if and only if the normalized hitting-time distributions converge to $\mathcal{H}_{\alpha}$, $$\mu_{Y}(\gamma_{T}(\mu(E_{k}))\cdot\varphi_{E_{k}}\leq t)\Longrightarrow
H_{\alpha}(t)\text{ \quad as }k\rightarrow\infty\text{,}
\label{Eq_Hit_Cge_H_alpha}%$$ if and only if for a dense set of points $t\ $in $(0,\infty)$, $$\mu_{E_{k}}(\gamma_{T}(\mu(E_{k}))\,\varphi_{E_{k}}\leq t)-\mu_{Y}(\gamma
_{T}(\mu(E_{k}))\,\varphi_{E_{k}}\leq t)\longrightarrow0\text{ \quad as
}k\rightarrow\infty\text{.} \label{Eq_Same_Law_For_Ret_and_Hit}%$$

By Theorem \[T\_Ret\_versus\_Hit\] it is clear that (\[Eq\_Ret\_Cge\_H\_alpha\]) is equivalent to (\[Eq\_Hit\_Cge\_H\_alpha\]). Trivially, either of these statements therefore implies (\[Eq\_Same\_Law\_For\_Ret\_and\_Hit\]).

To prove the converse, start from (\[Eq\_Same\_Law\_For\_Ret\_and\_Hit\]), and assume for a contradiction that, say, (\[Eq\_Ret\_Cge\_H\_alpha\]) fails, so that by Helly’s selection principle there is a subsequence $k_{j}%
\nearrow\infty$ of indices and some $\widetilde{F}\in\mathcal{F}$, $\widetilde{F}\neq H_{\alpha}$, such that (\[Eq\_AbstrDistrCgeII\]) holds along that subsequence. By Theorem \[T\_Ret\_versus\_Hit\], so does (\[Eq\_AbstrDistrCgeIII\]), where $F$ and $\widetilde{F}$ are related bycreate an unbalanced radial cutting effort which de-centers the three-angle cutting blade.
Still another disadvantage of the lapping technique is the large number of three-angle cutting blades needed to machine different types of valve seats. Each type of engine has a different valve seat profile. Thus, one or more unique three-angle cutting blades may be needed for each type of engine.
In view of the aforementioned inadequacies of the prior art, the need exists for a cutting tool and a method to machine valve seats that substantially reduces flexions during machining and uses a universal cutting blade.


lost more than 50% since June:

Brent crude oil went down from $112.18 to $58.51 per barrel during the same period:

Certainly, oil prices by themselves could not have caused such a disaster for the Russian currency, but they were one of the biggest snowballs that caused the avalanche.

2. Economic sanctions — first, they had been laughed at in Russia, then they had been ignored, then they have finally hit the country’s economy. The imposed limits on some of the biggest corporations prevented those companies from getting foreign financing and directed their demand to Russia’s internal loan and currency markets.

3. Conflict in Eastern Ukraine — the support of the separatist movement in the eastern part of Ukraine costs Russia dearly. Not only it is the cause for the Western sanctionspayout this year. December’s payments can be compared to September’s payout of $24.3 billion when ruble lost almost 7% of its value during a month. As you can see, even December’s high payout value would not be enough to cause the turmoil of 10% daily drop seen today, but with foreign loans forbidden for many Russian companies, it definitely was among the main negative drivers for RUB.

6. Plunging equities market — Russia’s RTS (USD denominated stock index) and MICEX (RUB denominated stock indexes) plunged during the whole Crimea/conflict/sanctions story. It is hard to determine, which was the cause and which was the consequence — the fall of stock prices or the fall of ruble. However, the simultaneous fall of both the stocks and the currency is a sure

This article examines the issues of youth violence and the role of the pediatric nurse in addressing youth at risk for violence. An example of a school-based violence prevention program is included. Black adolescent males from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and violent communities tend to be at highest risk. However, the profile of risk for violence is expanding to include youth in rural and middle-class suburban settings. Pediatric nurses play a vital role in the identification of at-risk youth and in the planning and evaluation of interventions for youth violence prevention.


data from 4D-CT to the TV. This is a straightforward method for comparing two ventilation volumes because, by definition, there is a linear correlation between the ventilation value and TV. A similar normalization method using the average Jacobian values inside lungs was applied by Du et al. \[[@B12]\], in which the Jacobian method was employed in the ventilation calculation.

Methods {#s2}
=======

Deformable image registration (DIR) and patient data {#s2.1}
----------------------------------------------------

The use of the patient data in this study followed a Moffitt Cancer Center's Scientific Review Committee (SRC) and University of South Florida Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved protocol. Consent form was waived since this was a retrospective study using de-identified images of patients who have completed radiation therapy.

There are many different DIR algorithms used in research and clinical applications \[[@B13]-[@B21]\]. InEach CT voxel can be represented by a cuboid. The 8 vertices that compose the cuboid are changed to create a 12-face polyhedron. The polyhedron is still comprised of the 8 corresponding vertices. Any hexahedron can be divided into 6 tetrahedrons ([Figure 1](#pone-0084083-g001){ref-type="fig"}). The volumes of the cuboid and the deformed cuboid are the sums of the volumes of their 6 corresponding tetrahedrons. DIR establishes the correspondence between these vertices. In the local volume change calculation step, the volume of each voxel is calculated using the corresponding vertices of each respective polyhedron.

![Any hexahedron can be divided into 6 tetrahedrons.\
(A) A cuboid can be divided into 6 tetrahedrons. (B) The corresponding deformed cuboid is composed of 6 deformed tetrahedrons.](pone.0084083.g001){#pone-0084083-g001}

The fundamental volume calculation is based on the volume calculation for


LDWV- and TV-normalized data sets, since the difference between the three data sets is only the normalization value, while the one for the percentile data set is different. For this patient, the TV in the second 4D-CT was 6.7% larger than in the first one. The AV change curve is shifted in the positive direction compared to TV- and LDWV-normalized curves. Based solely on the AV change data, ventilation appears to improve after treatment. This is obviously an artifact caused by the slightly larger TV in the after-treatment 4D-CT scan. After the TV normalization, the ventilation change is mostly negative (worse after treatment).

[Figure 4](#pone-0084083-g004){ref-type="fig"} shows the ventilation change versus dose region curves for the 6 studied cases with 4 different ventilation data sets. Only one out of theto confirm the immunogenicity of M2e.Hsp70c (Hsp70(359-610)). And challenge tests showed protection against H1N1 and H9N2 strains in vaccinated groups. Finally these results demonstrates M2e.Hsp70c fusion protein can be a candidate for a universal influenza A vaccine.


Q:

How can I completely delete a package in Perl?

How do you completely delete a package in Perl?  This means not only the package variables, but also any magic tables that Perl updates to handle inheritance changes and other things.
This simple test:
use warnings; use strict;
use Test::LeakTrace;
use Symbol 'delete_package';

leaktrace {
   package test;
   our $x = 1;

   package main;
   delete_package 'test';
};

results in the following output:
leaked ARRAY(0x81c930)  from /lib/perl5/5.10.1/Symbol.pm line 166.
leaked HASH(0x827760)   from /lib/perl5/5.10.1/Symbol.pm line 166.
leaked SCALAR(0x821920) from /lib/perl5/5.10.1/Symbol.pm line 166.

Using the -verbose flag for leaktrace results in screenfuls of data which I can post on request.
Things get worse if the line our @ISA = 'main'; is added to the test package:
leaked ARRAY(0x81cd10) from so.pl line 32.

Another approach for measuring the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat of a fluid involves the use of a micro bridge structure that has a heater film and at least one spaced sensor films. A pulse of electrical energy can be applied to the heater at a level and duration such that both a transient change and a substantially steady-state temperature occur at the sensor.
The thermal conductivity of the fluid of interest is determined based upon a known relation between the sensor output and the thermal conductivity at steady-state sensor temperatures. The specific


heat and thermal diffusivity of the fluid of interest are determined based on a known relation among the thermal conductivity, the rate of change of the sensor output during a transient temperature change in the sensor, and the thermal diffusivity and specific heat.
A typical approach for determining the velocity of a fluid of interest is to determine the time require for a thermal wave to flow from a source heater element to a destination sensor element. By knowing the distance between the heater element and the sensor element, the velocity of the fluid can be calculated.
The thermal waves can propagate through the fluid at a rate that is dependent on the fluid velocity flowing perpendicular to the heater strip. A thermo-electric detector, spaced from one or both sideLatched comparator circuits are used in various types of electronic circuitry, e.g. for comparing two input voltages. For example, in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), one or more latched comparators may be utilized for comparing an input voltage with one or more reference voltages for generating a digital value based on the input voltage. Furthermore, in memory circuits, such as a random-access memory (RAM), e.g. a static RAM (SRAM) or a dynamic RAM (DRAM), or a read-only memory (ROM), a latched comparator may be utilized as or in a sense amplifier of a read-out circuitry of the memory circuit for determining whether a logic ‘0’ or ‘1’ is stored in a memory cell of the memory circuit.
A latched comparator may have a differential output port comprising two output terminals.

of habeas corpus.

Generally, failure to appeal from a final appealable order constitutes a waiver of a right to appellate review of that order.    See, e.g., Boeing Co. v. Van Gemert, 444 U.S. 472, 479-80 n. 5, 100 S.Ct. 745, 750 n. 5, 62 L.Ed.2d 676 (1980);  Citibank, N.A. v. Data Lease Fin. Corp., 645 F.2d 333, 337 (5th Cir. Unit B 1981).  However, it would be inappropriate to find waiver in this case because the finality of the order was not clearly established at the time of the order, and the Commission may reasonably have believed at that time that it was not appealable.  We therefore will review the merits of the district court's several orders in this case.

III. THE DISTRICT COURT'S


Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 695-96, 94 S.Ct. 3090, 3101-02, 41 L.Ed.2d 1039 (1974);  Frisby v. United States Department of Housing & Urban Development, 755 F.2d 1052, 1055-56 (3d Cir.1985);  D'Iorio v. County of Delaware, 592 F.2d 681, 685 n. 2 (3d Cir.1978);  Bluth v. Laird, 435 F.2d 1065, 1071 (4th Cir.1970).

The Commission's own regulations call for the rating of a cocaine offender's offense severity as Category 6 if and only if his offense involved more than one kilogram of pure cocaine.  Offense Severity Index 921(d), 28 C.F.R. Sec. 2.20.  A court can set aside agency action that fails to comply with the agency's own regulations, at least where the regulations are designed to protect the individual grievant.    See, e.g., D'Iorio,was found guilty of marijuana usage while in prison.

VI. CONCLUSION

87
For the foregoing reasons we will affirm the district court's order requiring the Parole Commission to recategorize petitioner's offense severity rating as Category 5.  However, we will reverse the order granting the writ of habeas corpus.24

GARTH, Circuit Judge, concurring and dissenting:

89
While I agree with the majority of the court that the writ of habeas corpus was issued by the district court in error, and that Marshall must be returned to prison, I cannot agree that a distinction must be drawn between Marshall's first prison infraction (for possession of marijuana) and Marshall's second prison infraction (for a similar offense).  Thus, while I concur with the majority's holding that Marshall's severity offense should be classified at not more than


majority analogizes the action taken by the Parole Commission in establishing punishments for administrative infractions, to the situation discussed in Pearce.

93
Pearce, however, deals with challenges to court convictions, not with Parole Commission proceedings which do not involve convictions.  In Pearce, the defendant had successfully appealed from his original conviction.  After his reconviction and resentencing, the Supreme Court held that his enhanced second sentence was unconstitutional.  The Supreme Court reasoned that if it were to hold otherwise, the fear of vindictiveness against a defendant for having successfully attacked his first conviction might unconstitutionally deter, or chill, the defendant's exercise of his right to appeal.

94
Here, however, Marshall has not attacked the Commission's finding that he committed his first drug infraction.  Indeed, that infraction is admitted. "The fundamental fairness guaranteed by the Due Process Clause does not require courts to set aside decisions of prison administrators that have some basis in fact."    Id.

96
No one, particularly Marshall, contests the fact that Marshall had committed two prison infractions when he tested positive for marijuana on two different occasions.  Thus, there is uncontradicted evidence of these critical facts--evidence which more than meets the "some evidence" test mandated by Superintendent v. Hill, supra.

Because I believe we are bound to employ the standard of "some evidence" established by Superintendent v. Hill, and because I do not believe that we can expand the principle of North Carolina v. Pearce to prison infraction sanctions imposed by the Parole Commission, and further, because the record in my opinion


reveals, and that such errors, when they occur, are as likely to be corrected when a prisoner is unrepresented as when he is assisted by able counsel as in this case.

 Because of the Commission's misapplication of the disciplinary guidelines, discussed supra n. 5, the Commission actually assessed Marshall's guidelines at 40-60 months.  Because the Commission ultimately corrected its own error, id., this opinion, to avoid confusion, refers to the correct guidelines

 The Commission, in itsand perspective of the Parole Commission to be much closer to those of the judge than of the jury.

 The caselaw is clear that the body imposing sanctions must explain its decision to impose an increased penalty contemporaneous with that decision;  an appellate court is not required to remand to the judge, or to the agency, to seek a post hoc rationalization, nor are we required to speculate as to its reasons.  As we explained in Jacobs v. Redman, 616 F.2d 1251 (3d Cir.), cert. denied, 446 U.S. 944, 100 S.Ct. 2170, 64 L.Ed.2d 799 (1980),

A total of 83 children with suggestive symptoms of CMPA were included in the study. Mean age and birth weight were12.3 ± 6.4 months and 2.9 ± 0.4 kg respectively. The current mean weight was 8.6 ± 2.7 kg, and the present height was 72 ± 9.1 cm. The mean gestational age was 38.7 ± 1.9 months ([Table 1](#T1){ref-type="table"}).

In addition, its ability to hint towards a diagnosis in less time, and its ease of use by general physicians, is a vital advantage of the tool. CoMiSS can be a vital step in delaying the progression of CMPA, help in its early diagnosis, and prevent misdiagnosis; in addition, it cuts down parental anxiousness as well. Early data show the predictive value of the tool in identifying infants at risk of CMPA of 80%.

Overall, there appeared to be a good level of tolerability for a sudden switch from an SSRI or SNRI to vilazodone.

### Onset of action

With regard to the hypothesized[@b9-ce-10-049] earlier onset of treatment effect, Rickels et al found statistically significant reductions in MADRS and HAMD-17 with vilazodone versus placebo beginning at week 1.[@b11-ce-10-049] Perez et al[@b52-ce-10-049] noted "this rapid time course of efficacy remains to be validated." Some further data has recently emerged. In Croft et al,[@b13-ce-10-049] statistically significant improvement versus placebo also occurred early in the trial, starting


al,[@b14-ce-10-049] the only study including an SSRI as well as vilazodone, did not report remission rates. However, they did assess for MADRS "sustained response" (defined as MADRS total score ≤12 for at least the last two consecutive double-blind visits). The various active medication-treatment groups had numerical superiority to placebo: sustained response was seen in the 29.9% of vilazodone 20 mg/day subjects, 33.5% of vilazodone 40 mg/day subjects, and 31.1% of citalopram-treated subjects versus 26.3% of placebo-treated subjects. However, these differences were not statistically significant. Furthermore, the remission rates for vilazodone and citalopram were essentially identical. Patkar et al's medication-switching study abstract[@b46-ce-10-049] did not report response or remission rates.

### Specific subgroups of depressed patients Anxiety

Ongoing studies
===============

A review of studies on [ClinicalTrials.gov](http://ClinicalTrials.gov) (performed October 21, 2014) showed a total of 24 studies involving vilazodone. Of these, eleven were listed as completed (three with results) and 13 were ongoing. A number of these were mandated by the FDA at the time of vilazodone's approval,[@b34-ce-10-049] including a maintenance study, a study of 20 mg/day dosing, a pediatric program, a cytochrome P450 (CYP)-3A4 inducer study, a study of severe hepatic impairment, and a P-glycoprotein interaction study. The three studies with results included: Safety and Efficacy of Vilazodone in Major Depressive Disorder; Safety, Efficacy, and Tolerability of Vilazodone in Major Depressive Disorder; and Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study of Vilazodone's Efficacy, Safety, and Biomarkers of Response in Major Depressive


or moderate severity. Serious AEs were reported in four vilazodone 20 mg patients, four vilazodone 40 mg patients, and six citalopram patients. Reportedly, both vilazodone groups had greater improvement on the CSFQ relative to citalopram; differences were not statistically significant.

Croft et al[@b13-ce-10-049] compared vilazodone 40 mg/day versus placebo. AEs were similar to those reported in the other RCTs, with the most common AEs being diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, and insomnia. Interestingly, the gastrointestinal side effects, including nausea and diarrhea, were demonstrated to occur very early in treatment with vilazodone, almost always within the 1st week. Diarrhea was seen in 32.5% and nausea in 24.7% of vilazodone-treated patients, compared to 10.3% and 8.3%, respectively, of placebo-treated patients; 77.3% of vilazodone treated patients reported one or more TEAEs versus 61.7% ofHey there, time traveller!

It is now generally acknowledged that the endocardial epithelium (endothelium) of specific segments of the primary tubular heart transforms into prevalvular tissue called "cushion mesenchyme". Some 90+ plus genes have been identified with the initiation and transformation phases of cushion cells. In contrast, almost nothing is known about the differentiation-phase of cushion morphogenesis. It is often said that "cushions remodel into valve leaflets" but how this happens is uncharted territory. Yet, valvular defects are among the most relevant and serious of all congenital heart defects whose implications may extend into adult life (e.g. calcification or prolapse). The Specific Aims are four morphogenetic hypotheses which we propose as a conceptual framework for understanding how cushions become valves.

Diarrhea is a serious public health problem in Mexico and other countries. An alternative widely used in the treatment of diarrhea is the use of medicinal herbs. Infusions of chamomile and star anise, which have anti-inflammatory and antimotility properties, could help alleviate gastrointestinal disorders. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the mixture of infusions of star anise and chamomile on the gastrointestinal activity in mice. Ten groups were formed with 10 mice per group. The percentage of advance of the activated charcoal administered through the intestine of the animals was evaluated. The model of diarrhea was induced with castor oil. The infusions were prepared using a mixture with a 50:50

fact it comes across as centrist and reasonable almost throughout. The most right-wing policies contained within may be on plans to introduce subsidies for private healthcare to relieve the burden on the NHS and warm words on railway privatisation. Besides that, this is a manifesto that is making a pitch for the liberal centre, and even, at times, somewhat left leaning, particularly on defunding selective schools and the radical proposed reforms to the National Grid.

And that’s an extremely good strategy. The Liberal Democrats’ recent slide in support has coincided almost exactly with an increase for the Classical Liberals, who, if recent polling is right, stand poised to be the third party in the new parliament. Clearly, then, there are a lot of liberal, centrist and centre-left voters whomessy vision for the country, but that trap is avoided. Popular and centre-grounded economic ideas are paired with traditional Classical Liberals on immigration, with a detailed and workable plan for sustainable free movement with economically similar countries and an overhauled visa system, and other issues.

Even beyond the electoral strategy of appealing to former Liberal Democrats, thought has clearly been given to how the Classical Liberals are planning to deliver their policies in government and the fact that they’re in an unofficial alliance with Labour, the Social Democratic party, and the Liberal Democrats, who they would likely be in government with, and they’ve tailored their policies accordingly. A lot of it will be generally acceptable to large parts of that coalition, particularly on education. Similarly, by being broadly centrist

that one purpose is to make sure that the jury is agreed in the verdict. This purpose is an evidentiary one. The poll provides evidence that the jury, in fact, voted as reported. See Humphries v. District of Columbia, 174 U.S. 190, 194, 19 S.Ct. 637, 43 L.Ed. 944, 12 ADC 122 (1899); Ruffin v. State, 11 Terry 83, 50 Del. 83, 123 A.2d 461 (1956). If the sole purpose of the poll is evidentiary, then the anonymous poll would suffice for it confirms the vote taken in the jury room.
However, we believe that there is an additional purpose, namely, the assumption of individual responsibility by each juror:
"The polling of the jury is a procedure whereby the jurors are asked individually the finding they have arrived at, asIn effect, it enables the jury to maintain the same secrecy that existed during the deliberations in the jury room.
*1233 We have been unable to find a single case wherein the use of an anonymous jury poll was approved or even discussed. In fact, many courts explicitly require that each juror must be asked individually in open court whether or not he voted for a particular verdict. See, for example, United States v. Edwards, 469 F.2d 1362 (5th Cir.1972); Bruce v. Chestnut Farms-Chevy Chase Dairy, 75 U.S.App.D.C. 192, 126 F.2d 224, 225 (1942). Others permit the nod of a juror's head to signify assent. See, Posey v. United States, 416 F.2d 545 (5th Cir.), cert. denied 397 U.S. 1031, 90 S.Ct. 1267, 25 L.Ed.2d 544 (1969); Felton v.


State, 47 Ala.App. 182, 252 So.2d 108 (1971); State v. Mosca, 90 Conn. 381, 97 A. 340 (1916). And some courts permit the jury to be asked in a group if it has found the defendant to be guilty and a collective response suffices. See, People v. Stubenvoll, 62 Mich. 329, 28 N.W. 883 (1886); State v. Lewis, 482 S.W.2d 432 (Mo. 1972); Posey v. United States, supra. But in each instance the juror is required to give some physical manifestation of his assent before the defendant in open court. The anonymous poll does not provide this individual physical manifestation. As stated in Campbell & Jones v. Murray et al., 62 Ga. 86, 87, 97 (1878):

The Birmingham University Epilepsy Liaison Project aims to bridge the gap between primary and secondary care, and provide both advice about audit of epilepsy care and educational materials for the primary care physician. It also provides for better communication between the primary care physician, the patient and secondary and tertiary facilities. We hope, if it fulfils its designed function, that it will provide a model of future care for epilepsy in this country.

In contrast to motion planning methods, standard footstep planners are able to rapidly generate footsteps and walking trajectories without spending time exploring the constraint manifolds of combinatorial modes the way a Multi-modal PRM does. They typically do this by approximating the problem of walking. In [@garimort:footsteps; @hornung:anytime] this is donethe Possibility Graph works reliably on the order of seconds. Complete solutions tend to generate at faster than 100x real time. This makes Possibility Graphs suitable for online planning. They could also be incorporated into higher level task planners [@grey:garrett:manip] which require numerous high-speed queries.

Possibility Graph
=================

The governing logical principles behind the Possibility Graph have a theoretical grounding in Possibility Theory [@dubois:possibility], but the concepts are intuitive enough that a knowledge of Possibility Theory is not necessary to proceed. It is enough to understand that the *possibility* of any given action instance can be labelled with “impossible”, “possible”, or “indeterminate” depending on whether the instance satisfies the necessary or sufficient conditions that are assigned to it. The motivation for using a Possibility Graph is two-fold:

1.  We can design


a crawling vertex and connect it to the walking vertex using a transition edge \[Alg. \[alg:explore\], line \[alg:explore:transition\]\]. For some of the walking vertices, a transition into crawling is not viable due to obstacles. (d) We now extend the crawling subgraphs towards a point that was sampled near the center of the room, and the subgraphs manage to connect \[Alg. \[alg:explore\], line \[alg:explore:growTowards\]\].](figs/cartoon_crawl_explanation.pdf){width="97.00000%"}

Explore Possibilities by Expanding the Graph {#sec:explore}
--------------------------------------------

The purpose of the Possibility Graph is to find a feasible action sequence to get from a start point to at least one goal point. We define the contents of the Possibility Graph in Def. \[def:posgraph\]. The procedure for finding solutions with the graph is described by Alg. \[alg:explore\]. The graph is initialized with a set of subgraphs, each subgraph$\mathscr{E}$,

-   $Q_{Confirmation}$ is a queue which manages confirmation jobs (see Table \[tab:action\]).

An important feature of our algorithm is the exploration of transitions between various action categories. Each time vertices are added for one action, the other actions will be queried to see if they can transition from it (Alg. \[alg:explore\] , Line \[alg:explore:transition\]). This allows different actions to be interlaced with each other within the graph. Each action keeps track of its own exploration by storing a set of subgraphs, $\Gamma_a$, consisting of its own vertices and edges. At the same time, the Possibility Graph maintains the “master” graph, $\Gamma_{PG}$, which combines all the subgraphs of all the different action types. The algorithm is illustrated by a toy example in Fig. \[fig:cartoon\].

Over time, the Possibility Graph


instead performs a jump which lands at $v_0$ and begins as close to $v_1$ as the robot’s physical limitations allow. The `FindLaunchingPoint`($v, v_1$) function returns a point, $v_0$, whose translation is the same as $v$ but whose orientation has the robot facing $v_1$; this allows the `ExtendTowards`($v_0, v_1$) function to bring the robot closer to $v_1$. Conversely, the `FindLandingPoint`($v, v_1$) function returns a point, $v_0$, whose translation is the same as $v$ but which is facing *away* from $v_1$; this allows the robot to jump towards $v$ from the direction of $v_1$ using `ReverseExtend`($v_0, v_1$).

The `SpawnConfirmationJob` function of the jump action is a basic collocation optimization on a boundary value problem. The boundary value constraints are (1) zero initial velocity, (2) a take-off configuration and velocity which will                100%

Mike Pence's plane slid off a rain-slicked runway upon landing at LaGuardia Airport, injecting near-disaster in the 2016 presidential campaign. | AP Photo The moments Pence’s plane flirted with disaster 'You felt like it was hydroplaning in a vehicle, you felt like you were skidding,' a passenger aboard the Republican vice presidential nominee's plane said.

For months, reporters traveling aboard Mike Pence’s campaign plane have joked about the hard, bone-shaking landings from small Iowa airports to major metropolitan hubs as the Republican vice presidential candidate has crisscrossed the country. The “Make America Great Again"-emblazoned 737 has been bumping its way across the swing states, prompting one reporter to joke morbidly a few weeks ago that a “Pence plane veers off the runway” story had been pre-written.

first player to hit five in a La Liga game since Fernando Morientes for Real Madrid against Las Palmas in 2002.

It means the Colombian has 16 goals in the league this season and it was Atletico’s eighth straight home win of the campaign.

A hapless looking Deportivo side remain bottom of the table on 11 points, level with Espanyol.

Koke and Diego Costa went close in the opening minutes for the home team.

At the other end for Deportivo the veteran Juan Carlos Valeron was pulling the strings in midfield against a team he joined as far back as 1998.

The bottom of the table side looked comfortable until Atletico’s opener on 22 minutes when Costa jumped highest to head home a corner.

Although they nearly equalised when Valeron headed against the postappetite, he said. The cancer started in his esophagus and spread to his lungs, stomach and liver. When smoking marijuana became painful because it made him cough, a friend made a vaporizer from a heat gun and a plastic bag.

“Cancer is a fight against appetite and keeping weight on,” he said in an interview at his home. “If you can keep the weight on you can stay alive longer.”

To anyone who thinks it should be illegal, he urges compassion. He is 61 and has two children. At just over 5-foot-10, he weighs only 145 pounds.

“It gives me a quality of life I wouldn’t have without it.”

Contrasting metabolic profiles of tasty Andean varieties of tomato fruit in comparison with commercial ones.
The fruits of most commercial tomato cultivars (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are deficient in flavour. In contrast, traditional 'criollo' tomato varieties are appreciated for fruit of excellent organoleptic quality. Small farmers from the Andean valleys in Argentina have maintained their own tomato varieties, which were selected mainly for flavour. This work aims to correlate the chemical composition of the fruit with the sensory attributes of eight heirloom tomato varieties. The long-term goal is to identify potential candidate genes capable of altering the chemicals involved in flavour. A sensory analysis was conducted and the metabolomics of fruit were determined. The data revealed that defined tomato aroma and sourness correlated with citrate and several volatile organic compoundsgreater than 157092?

What do you get when you combine Gradius and penguins? If you guessed one of the best side scroller shoot em ups then you must mean Pardius Da. Konami invented a new genre when they released Parodius, titled cute em up. Cute em ups take the shoot em up genre and turn it on it’s head. Instead of shooting at aliens or enemy plains the player will find themselves shooting at: penguins, syringes, and pirate ships with cat heads. Konami proves with this series that they have a sense of humor. The game draws on characters from other Konami games such as Vic Viper from Gradius and Twinbee.

The game is meant to be a joke, but the music is the one place that Konami took the gamebeen a well thought out and fun game ended up being painful to play. While graphically the game was beautiful, poor controls and censorship by DC ultimately made the game more painful to play then Russian roulette with Death Stroke. Injustice Gods Among Us has fixed many of the issues that plagued it’s earlier brethren.
