my walking machine. I intend to walk on it everyday and some days I do but really it is a good place to hang the ironing. Anyway back to the doodling and designing. I have planned out my words piece in my head and a little bit of pre-work. I am also doing a blue piece for the Embroiderers guild and I found a doodle design I was working on ages ago and I might expand on it. Drawing is not an inborn talent of mine and I do need to work at it. So I shall unearth my drawing supplies and return to doodling, a little drawing everyday is a relaxing thing I just need a little more time each day. Perhaps I shall give up onfor my friend. So I am off to paint.

I am immersed in a new doll. She is for a dear friend who has recently given me two beautiful books. This doll is an original design. I don't often do my own patterns. I've really only done one. The little girl riding the frog.I am inspired to do another. All shall be revealed soon. We were promised rain by the idiots at the Weather Bureau those sadistic sods think it is funny to say oh yes it will rain. I am not sure if it was rain or just a bird peeing on my car from a great height. The Madonna lilies are out though we do call them Naked Ladies here in South Australia. They

The Task Force believes that the most important aspect of pharmaceutical preparedness for EMCC is the active involvement of pharmacists, especially critical care pharmacists, in institutional


on experience level. The charge nurse could assign critical care nurses to oversee a deliberately constructed "pod" of patients and mentor non-critical care caregivers assigned to the pod. The charge nurse would assign patients and caregivers to pods but would then rely on the critical care nurses of the pod to assign specific patients to non-critical care nurses in his/her group. The critical care nurses would care for the most challenging patients and be available to assist the non-critical care nurses as needed. Health-care workers without a nursing background could assist with general activities that fall under the purview of nursing responsibilities (*eg*, patient turning, bathing, vital sign monitoring) but which not only nurses can provide.

Another option would be to assign critical care nurses to all patients whileprofessionals (*eg*, occupational therapists, physical therapists) could perform such tasks as airway suctioning, oxygen saturation checks, or metered-dose inhaler administration. This approach has been suggested and even underwent initial evaluation by University of Colorado investigators.[@bib69] Their model uses a digital video disk to deliver just-in-time training to the recruited non-respiratory health-care workers. This strategy is attractive because it allows for drawing staff from a larger pool of available candidates, and theoretically it would not require recurrent training, which is difficult to sustain for large numbers of health-care workers. Of course, a better option would be to cross-train allied health-care workers recurrently with the materials, and then use the digital video disk also as a refresher during the disaster response. Whether this just-in-time strategy alone is effective at preparing

TUG-469 on glucose tolerance in pre-diabetic New Zealand obese (NZO) mice performing a glucose tolerance test after intraperitoneal administration of 5 mg/kg TUG-469. In comparison to GW9508, TUG-469 showed a 1.7- to 3.0-times higher potency in vitro at 1321N1 cells recombinantly expressing FFA1. Both compounds increased insulin secretion from rat insulinoma INS-1 cells. TUG-469 is > 200-fold selective for FFA1 over FFA4. Finally, a single dose of 5 mg/kg TUG-469 significantly improved glucose tolerance in pre-diabetic NZO mice. TUG-469 turned out as a promising candidate for further drug development of FFA1 agonists for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.judgment, the federal district court found that none of the disputed facts were relevant to the legal issues raised by defendants on the immunity issue and ruled that:

In lightexists a strong need to insure that individual Board members perform their functions for the public good without harassment or intimidation.  There exist adequate due process safeguards under Colorado law to protect against unconstitutional conduct without reliance upon private damages lawsuits.  It is important to insulate Board members from political influences in meeting their adjudicatory responsibilities in the adversarial setting involving licensure to practice medicine.  Public policy requires that officials serving in such capacities be exempt from personal liability.

In the evaluation of the Board members' functions, we observe that they serve in the prosecutorial role in that they, among other things, initiate complaints, start hearings, make investigations, take evidence, and issue subpoenas.  They also serve in the adjudicative role, as judges.  Thus, the

There's probably a way to indicate an "unused" symbol for the RTTI should be retained and exported, which will vary by compiler/linker.  But that's more bother than providing an explicit "first virtual function" (such as the virtual Child destructor) which avoids the problem.

Arkansas Bill Would Extend Sunshine Rules to Public-Linked Support Nonprofits

Arkansas State Sen. Kim Hammer introduced Bill 231 to permit state oversight into the day-to-day business deals of the nonprofits that work with public entities, providing direct support to a government body like a university either with labor or dollars. The bill would allow the public to see copies of documents, such as contracts and loan agreements.

On February 27, 2019, the bill was “re-referred” to the Arkansas Senate Committee on State Agencies and Governmental Affairs and is on today’s agenda.

In the current draft, Bill 231 stops short of demanding that donors are public record, which follows current IRS rules. It does appear to need some tightening; it states that “all records maintained in public offices or by public employeesthe highest-paid public position in Arkansas. The newspaper did succeed in procuring almost 22,000 emails between foundation staff and UA, in order to track if there was any separation between the school and the foundation. The line between them seems to be blurred; foundation management were present for job interviews for UA Athletics department positions and for UA high-level strategy sessions and were able to use university trademarks at no cost.

While support foundations exist to help support a university, they are singular and separate. Yet, UA helped promote the foundation membership program, and the school let the foundation renege on capital campaign commitments in the millions.

One of the authors of Bill 231, Robert Steinbuch, a law professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, said the Democrat-Gazette’s


the ASU system spokesperson, said that the loan is not guaranteed by the school; if the foundation defaults, “the bank would operate the premium area through the term of the lease until the loan was paid.” Hankins says the loan documents are not public records. ASU may want to take lessons from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Foundation, which had to declare bankruptcy because of building loans anchored by the school.

Avoiding transparency creates the impression that there is something to hide. The FOIA applies to any “agency or improvement district that is wholly or partially supported by public funds or expending public funds.” Citing that a foundation did not receive public funds directly as a loophole to escape FOIA adds to that impression of possible wrongdoing.—Marian Conway

prescribe as a hard rule. A controller servlet typically receives a request, retrieves an appropriate business object or objects, and passes them over to the JSP. The JSP then uses those data objects to merely paint. How less intricate the JSP page is depends on how well your model data object is designed.

If you have two JSPs, then each page will typically receive its own business object. For example, a customer detail page will receive a customer business object, and an invoice detail page will receive an invoice business object. These types of specific business objects are called "vertical interfaces;" each JSP presents its own interface. For this reason, these objects are characterized as a circle and a triangle in Figure 1.

The role of the JSP is toand the JSP is not good at cleanup. So the solution is to allow an abstraction like TDP and provide a close method on IDataSetNode, which will ripple through all of the inner relational data sets.

There is also something of a prevailing wisdom that one should not allow any exceptions to happen on a JSP page. The idea is that we can pre-collect all the data that a JSP page needs so that we can deal with exceptions before the JSP page is invoked. To me, this seems a tall compromise, in terms of scalability. In my view, one can minimize the exceptions that can happen on a JSP page, but one can never really stop runtime exceptions. I do agree that you have to minimize exceptions and


credit report frequently to
ensure that the information is accurate and complete. Ideally, the review should occur
prior to applying for credit. And third, consumers should review monthly billing statements
from their credit grantors to ensure accuracy of purchases and payment amounts.

Q: How is Experian helping to mitigate inaccuracies found in credit reports?

A: The integrity of data within our credit file is the cornerstone
of Experian’s business and our consumer relationships. Given the importance
of data accuracy, we invest the time and resources to ensure the credit files we maintain
are as accurate, fresh and secure as possible. Our state of the art consumer credit
database, File OneSM is the industry’s premier credit information
database; we employ almost 100 specialized professionals that focus on testing the
integrity of the data furnished to us and getting it loadeddispute resolution process.
As a result, consumer disputes are sent to data furnishers online daily rather than
relying on written documents sent by mail. Our online dispute resolution systems have been enhanced by numerous technology
improvements, such as our document upload service for online consumers which have
led to faster dispute resolution times which now average 14 days. This is less than
half the time allowed by federal law.

Q: How is Experian helping consumers learn about their credit reports and how to effectively
manage their credit?

A: Credit is not about just the amount of money we are able
to spend. It is also a frequent measurement of our financial trustworthiness and credibility.
That is why we make consumer education our top priority. As a company, we want to
ensure consumers have the knowledge and confidence to proactively


manage, build and
improve their credit. In fact, Experian was the first credit reporting agency to initiate
an overall consumer education program more than 20 years ago. Whether by providing
accurate credit data or sharing analytic services and education tools, we are here
to help consumers improve their financial health by introducing extra consumer services
that go well beyond what’s required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

With that in mind, we created LiveCreditSmart.com to provide advice and resources
to assist consumers with all of life’s financial needs, from buying a home to
planning for retirement. At LiveCreditSmart.com, we also give access to the average
national credit scores and the results of our consumer credit research.

In addition, we are reaching out to consumers in a myriad of ways to help them
get “credit smart.” Our Experian Education AmbassadorsYou are here

According the Deadline, some of the new writers for the Transformers Cinematic Universe are already sharpening their pencils. Word is coming down that get guys behind Marvel's "Ant-Man" script are packing their bags for a trip back to Cybertron to lift the lid on the origins of our beloved robots. Read for more details.

Cinematic Universes are a Thing right now, with Marvel and Star Warsin town that weekend for his chemo treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center. We had a short chat about his work, his clothing and his health.

Before he departed, our engineer, Andy Hudack took our picture together and I told Craig I’d be praying for him.

Sager: “Thank you. My doctors say I likely need a miracle. I’m just trying to win one more time.”

Turner Broadcasting President David Levy summed up Craig Sager perfectly, saying, “While he will be remembered fondly for this colorful attire and the TNT sideline interviews he conducted with NBA coaches and players, it’s the determination, grace and will to live he displayed during his battle with cancer that will be his lasting impact.”

One of the greatest joys you’ll find in watching any Rocky film is the overwhelmingly large heart he has. He is one of the most heartwarming characters in cinema history because of it. He’s not an intelligent person. He doesn’t have a lot of money to his name. And life has kicked him around more times than the guy can count. But his goodness is enough to win over anyone. If you like the films or not, there’s little arguing the fact that he’s a wonderfully well-developed and lovable character.

The epidemiology of acute appendicitis in California: racial, gender, and seasonal variation.
The incidence of acute appendicitis has been reported to vary substantially by country, geographic region, race, sex, season, and occupation, but the reasons for this variation are unknown. We evaluated several risk factors for appendicitis by analyzing data from hospital discharge abstracts on all cases of acute appendicitis treated surgically in nonfederal hospitals in California from 1983 to 1986 (N = 102,546). Comparison of age and sex-specific incidence rates for four racial/ethnic groups (white, Hispanic, black, and Asian/other) revealed rates in blacks and the Asian/other group one-half or less of the rates for whites and Hispanics between the ages of 5 and 29 years. Incidence rates in males were higher than rates in females in all racial/ethnicForty-five years ago man first set foot on the moon, and to celebrate the anniversary of Apollo 11's historic mission, GE (of all companies) is releasing a limited edition set of high-top sneakers inspired by the moon boots worn by the astronauts.

Working alongside JackThreads and Android Homme, the sneakers not only pay tribute to the Apollo 11 mission, but also the advanced materials, at least at the time, that were developed to allow mankind to walk on the moon. As a result, the Missions are made with thermoplastic rubber, carbon fiber, and are covered in 3M's reflective Scotchlite material so they end up looking like they genuinely date back to the 1960s.

Various government entities in Florida, New York, Mississippi, the town of Acushnet, Mass. (“a quiet friendly community” with a “well-known Apple/Peach Festival”), and elsewhere mandate truss signs.

But even where the signs are in use, the system is imperfect. The design of signs varies (you can browse various styles online). And because the signs aren’t always mandated on existing structures—only on new construction or expansions—firefighters who don’t see a truss sign have no easy way of knowing whether it’s an old building that has trusses or a new building that doesn’t.

Saving the lives of firefighters depends as much on training as on the presence of the signs, so experts exhort firefighters to not


kidnappings trigger ransom demands and agonizing decisions by high-ranking government officials as to whether they should be met.

But there is another way governments can respond to such terroristic blackmail. It might be called, “The KGB Method.”

On September 30 1985, four attaches from the Soviet Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, were kidnapped by men linked to Hizbollah (“Party of God”), the Iranian-supported terrorist group.

The kidnappers sent photos of the four men to Western news agencies. Each captive was shown with an automatic pistol pressed to his head.

The militants demanded that Moscow pressure pro-Syrian militiamen to stop shelling the pro-Iranian militia in Lebanon’s northern port city of Tripoli.

And they threatened to execute the four Soviet captives, one by one, unless this demand was met.

The color is of a yellowish-green color, lighter than the Yellow Delicious. PA0 Leaves: Slightly wider and longer than the Yellow Delicious. The ribs or veins of the leaves are curved more outwardly than upwardly from the leaf stem, as opposed to straight outwardly and upwardly in the Yellow Delicious. The length is about five (5) inches, exclusive of the leaf stem. The width is about two and one half (21/2) inches. The margin is medium to coarsely serrated. PA0 Petiole: Slightly thicker than the Yellow Delicious (about 11/4 to 11/2 inches long; slightly thicker. PA0 Branches: Have wide anglepromotes virulence, i.e. growth *in vivo*. This situation prompted us to study the interaction between FH and *S. pyogenes* M protein, with focus on the possible role of bacteria-bound FH in virulence.

*S. pyogenes* is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes a variety of diseases, including superficial throat and skin infections, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, and the autoimmune disease rheumatic fever [@ppat.1003323-Carapetis1]. The fibrillar M protein, which is the most extensively studied virulence factor of *S. pyogenes*, is a surface-anchored coiled-coil protein that prevents phagocytosis [@ppat.1003323-Fischetti2]. A characteristic feature of this protein is the presence of an N-terminal hypervariable region (HVR), which has a length of ∼50--100 amino acid residues and is a key target for type-specific protective antibodies [@ppat.1003323-Fischetti2]. The HVR exhibits extreme sequence divergence among M proteins expressed


proteins lacked one coiled-coil heptad (7 amino acids). Pure preparations of the deletion proteins and of the intact M5 protein were immobilized in microtiter wells and analyzed for ability to bind FH. In this analysis, the two deletion proteins did not bind FH, supporting the conclusion that FH binds solely to the N2 region of M5 ([Figure 2B](#ppat-1003323-g002){ref-type="fig"}). Because it has been reported that FH binds to the C repeat region of the M6 protein [@ppat.1003323-Fischetti3], studies were also performed in that system ([Figure 2C](#ppat-1003323-g002){ref-type="fig"} and [S2A](#ppat.1003323.s002){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). We hypothesized that FH binds to the C-terminal part of the HVR also in M6, and studied an M6 deletion protein lacking a short sequence (14 amino acids, two heptads) in this part of the HVR. This deletion protein, designated M6Δ97-110,serum to columns containing immobilized HVRs and performed the same type of analysis as described in [Figure 3C](#ppat-1003323-g003){ref-type="fig"}. Binding was only observed for human FH, not for mouse or rabbit FH, as shown for the M5-HVR in [Figure 4A](#ppat-1003323-g004){ref-type="fig"}. Similar results were obtained for columns containing the M6-HVR or the M18-HVR (data not shown). The lack of recovery of mouse FH was not due to lack of FH in mouse serum, for which the serum concentration of FH is similar to that in humans [@ppat.1003323-Pickering1], [@ppat.1003323-Kinoshita1]. For rabbit serum, the concentration of FH is ∼3-fold lower than in human serum [@ppat.1003323-Horstmann2], but that difference cannot explain the complete lack of FH-binding in our analysis. Thus, the HVRs studied here not only show specificity for FH among all proteins


an M protein, but the combined data now strongly indicate that these human proteins solely bind to the HVR of an M protein. The reason for the discrepancy between our results and those reported earlier [@ppat.1003323-Fischetti3] is unclear, but it is conceivable that the C-terminal M6 fragment used in the early study was contaminated with FH-binding material. Moreover, the peptide inhibition tests reported in that study did not include a control for unspecific inhibition. Concerning binding tests with whole bacteria ([Figure 2D and E](#ppat-1003323-g002){ref-type="fig"}), the discrepancy between our results and earlier work [@ppat.1003323-PerezCasal1], [@ppat.1003323-Sharma1] is less obvious, because at least one of the earlier reports indicated that a surface-expressed M6 protein lacking C repeats retained some ability to bind FH, although binding was lower than for intact M6HVRs could be studied as isolated polypeptides that retained ability to specifically bind FH. Thus, these HVRs correspond to distinct FH-binding domains, a property that allowed direct immunochemical comparisons and may facilitate future biochemical and structural studies. Similarly, other ligand-binding regions of M proteins can be studied in isolated form, as demonstrated for C4BP-binding HVRs [@ppat.1003323-Morfeldt1], IgA-binding regions [@ppat.1003323-Sandin2], and Fg-binding regions [@ppat.1003323-Waldemarsson1], [@ppat.1003323-Macheboeuf1]. These findings suggest that the fibrillar M protein may be envisaged as a string of domains, representing regions that interact with different human proteins.

The unclear biological role of FH-binding {#s3c}
-----------------------------------------

The biological role of FH-binding to M protein remains unclear. Indeed, it is not even clear that binding of FH occurs under physiological conditions, because the known FH-binding M proteins all bind Fg, which may


sterically interfere with FH-binding [@ppat.1003323-Johnsson1], [@ppat.1003323-PrezCaballero1], [@ppat.1003323-Horstmann3]. Indeed, ability to bind FH/FHL-1 did not influence complement deposition, when the analysis was performed in human plasma, presumably because the Fg in plasma blocked FH-binding under these conditions [@ppat.1003323-Kotarsky1]. However, immunochemical tests and analysis of complement deposition are of necessity performed under *in vitro* conditions that are of uncertain relevance for the *in vivo* situation. This situation focused interest on the use of Tg mice for *in vivo* analysis, and on analysis of FH-binding in the whole blood phagocytosis system, an *ex vivo* system believed to reflect the human *in vivo* situation.

Concerning the *in vivo* role of FH-binding, our studies with Tg mice did not provide evidence that binding of FH to the M5 protein promotes virulence during the acutelimited, if any, effect on phagocytosis resistance [@ppat.1003323-Pandiripally1], [@ppat.1003323-Terao1]. In the first of these papers, the authors made the interesting observation that growth of some *S. pyogenes* strains in human blood was affected by the Y402H polymorphism in FH, suggesting that binding of FH affects resistance to phagocytosis [@ppat.1003323-Haapasalo1], but the interpretation of these data is uncertain, because clear results were only obtained with two strains (of types M1 and st369) in which binding of FH most likely was promoted by the Fba protein, not the antiphagocytic M protein. Thus, this finding does not provide information on the role of FH-binding to M protein. In the second study, the authors reported that phagocytosis of *S. pyogenes* in whole blood was promoted by the addition of an FH fragment


Binding and inhibition were determined as described above.

### Analysis of cross-reactivity ([Figure 5A](#ppat-1003323-g005){ref-type="fig"}) {#s4e4}

Wells were coated with 0.1 µg of the FH-binding HVRs indicated, diluted in PBS. After blocking with TBST-gel, the immobilized HVRs were analyzed for reactivity with different rabbit anti-HVR sera, diluted as indicated. Bound rabbit antibodies were detected with radiolabeled protein G. The non-FH-binding M1-HVR was used as control. Pre-immune rabbit sera were used to obtain background values, which were very low and were subtracted from the values obtained with immune sera.

Binding and elution assays with whole bacteria {#s4f}
----------------------------------------------

The *S. pyogenes* bacteria were harvested from overnight cultures, washed twice with TBS-T (50 mM Tris, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20, pH = 7.4), and resuspended in the same buffer.

### Direct binding assays ([Figure 2D and 2E](#ppat-1003323-g002){ref-type="fig"}) {#s4f1}

Samples ofcalculated. The theoretical results as well as the experimental data are listed in [Table 2](#t2){ref-type="table"}[@b41]. The agreement between the experimental data and the calculated results is also excellent, which shows the accuracy of the present theoretical calculations.

Geometric structures
--------------------

In order to gain information on the growth of silicon clusters, many attempts have also been made to study the geometries of low-lying medium-sized neutral and charged silicon clusters. These include injected-ion drift-tube techniques, photoelectron spectroscopy measurements and *ab initio* calculations[@b11][@b18][@b42][@b43][@b44][@b45]. For neutral silicon clusters, our results indicate that the prolate structures are more stable than spherical-like structures for Si~*n*~ (20 ≤ *n* ≤ 25) clusters, then a structural transition to more spherical-like structure occurs at *n* = 26. These prolate structures can be described as stacks of stable subunits. Take the Si~20~ and Si~21~ clusters for


range *n* = 20--28. This lack of disagreement may be explained by the temperature effects[@b58]. Since the average polarizability can only be directly measured in experiments if the static dipole moment of the cluster is zero. For cationic clusters, the calculated results of polarizability also show relatively small variations in the value of a over the size range 20 ≤ *n* ≤ 30, with all values significantly larger than the bulk limit. In contrast to anionic cluster, the calculated results indicate that the polarizabilities vary strongly and irregularly with size. From [Fig. 7](#f7){ref-type="fig"}, it is interesting to note that there is a clear transition in the value of α occurring at around *n* = 27. The atomic polarizabilities can be related to the volume occupied by electrons. The compact spherical-like geometries have relatively fewer and shorterto be adjusted along the way.

That’s why it’s best to use a more flexible project plan template. You’ll have an easier time editing it, and there will be more opportunity to give it an engaging design.

If you’re unsure of how to approach putting your plan together, a project plan template can be a big help. Using a template as a foundation will help you to organize your information and to present it in an engaging way.

2. Plot your project timeline visually

A clear timeline is the backbone of a solid project plan. Confusion related deadlines, and what is required for those deadlines, is a common problem many teams face while working on a project.

That’s why it’s important to break your projects down into smaller tasks with staggered deadlines. How


you actually visualize your timeline will play a big role in how readable and straightforward your timeline infographic is.

Gantt chart templates

When you think of drawing out your project plan, a Gantt chart probably comes to mind. Gantt charts show tasks over a period of time.

This type of chart is handy because it allows you to show different timelines that run concurrently with each other, even if their start and ends dates are different.

For example, this Gantt chart template shows project that run over the course of two quarters:

Timeline templates

When you’re first outlining your project timeline, it can be pretty overwhelming. That’s where a visual can help people get a better sense of what needs to be done and by when.

A timeline is a versatile way to visualize milestones,see what they are working on as well.

12. Give each step or process a simple name

Communicating across teams can be a nightmare sometimes, especially as your company continues to grow. It’s common for different people to call a certain thing many names, and that can cause unneeded confusion. Like how people in call a soft drink: “soda”, “coke” or “pop”, but it means exactly the same thing.

So assigning common titles for each part of your simple project plan can make communication a bit easier.

In the sample project plan infographic below, they used eight simple keywords for each step of their project:

This common words and phrases will make communication a lot smoother. Now the product team will know exactly what you mean when you say you’re working on the

14-3-3 proteins regulate many cellular processes that are implicated in cancer development, and the seven 14-3-3 isoforms have different expression level and isoform-specific roles in different tumors. However, the biological functions of 14-3-3 proteins and their correlations with renal carcinoma have not been investigated so far. In our study, the expression profiles and functional characterization of 14-3-3 proteins were discovered by a sensitive stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture based quantitative proteomics analysis in human renal carcinoma tissues. We found that 14-3-3epsilon was up-regulated with 1.44-fold changes in renal cancerous tissues compared with that in counterpart kidney tissues, and 14-3-3sigma was almost not detected

Without a solvent present and if M and M\' are both univalent metals with similar electronegativity, complete exchange becomes difficult, and the extent of even partial exchange is hard to predict. For the alkali metals, all electronegativity scales indicate that caesium is the most electropositive, but they also indicate that there is comparatively little variation in this metric \[[@R12]\]. What happens when the energy difference between M\'X and MX becomes particularly small? Here we describe the application of mechanochemistry in an organometallic context to examine alkali metal halide exchange unassisted by solvents. The organic group used is the bulky 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)allyl anion, \[1,3-(SiMe~3~)~2~C~3~H~3~\]^−^ (\[A\'\]^−^) \[[@R13]--[@R14]\], for which alkali metal complexes are known, including those of Li \[[@R15]\], Na \[[@R16]\], K \[[@R17]--[@R18]\], andhave the smallest lattice energies and thus should be the most easily disrupted and liable to exchange. Although several metal compounds of the allyl anion \[A\'\]^--^ were potential candidates for the present study, the need for a base-free, unsolvated complex that preferably had been crystallographically characterized limited the choice to the potassium complex \[KA\'\]~∞~. In that form \[[@R17]\], as well as when crystallized from THF \[[@R18]\], DME \[[@R21]\], or as described below, arenes, \[KA\'\]~∞~ retains the structure of an undulating or helical coordination polymer. Within these experimental parameters, the general reaction in [Eq. 5](#FD5){ref-type="disp-formula"} was examined. When *n* = 1, a reaction carried to completion would result in full metal exchange, with partial exchange the outcome for any larger values of *n*.

The experimental protocol involved grinding various ratios


most likely to be isolated. The high concentration of reagents in a solid-state reaction may influence product formation as well. The possibility of partial exchange also needs to be considered. If the caesium iodide were insufficiently reactive, a starting ratio of 3:1 for \[KA\'\]:CsI could give rise to products with higher ratios of K to Cs than even \[CsK~2~A\'~3~\], such as \[CsK~3~A\'~4~\] or \[CsK~4~A\'~5~\]. In this light, it is notable that CsI is the limiting reagent in the reaction, and the resulting 1:1 ratio of the metals in the allyl complex suggests that it is a favored composition.

Secondly, the relative free energies of formation of CsI and KI (−341 and −325 kJ mol^−1^, respectively; ∆∆*G* = +16 kJ mol^−1^) \[[@R26]\] means that the formation of the metal halide  context,

one lump idea. Let
$$f \star g(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} f(d)g(n/d)$$
be the convolution of $f$ and $g$. Then it happens that if both $g$ and $f \star g$ are multiplicative, then $f$ is also multiplicative. Let $h = f \star g$, for slightly easier notation. Let's prove that now.
We proceed by contradiction. Suppose that $f$ is not multiplicative. So there exist two positive integers $n,m$ with $\gcd(m,n) = 1$ such that $f(mn) \neq f(m)f(n)$. Of all such pairs of integers, let's choose the pair with the smallest product $mn$.
If $m = n = 1$, then $f(1) \neq 1$. Then $h(1) = f(1)g(1) \neq 1$, and so $h$ is not multiplicative. That's a contradiction, and so $f(1) = 1$.
Now for all $a,b$ with $\gcd(a,b) = 1$ and $abas a contradiction, we see that $h(mn) \neq h(m)h(n)$, which is a contradiction.
And so $f$ is multiplicative after all. $\diamondsuit$
In your first question, you are looking at $f \star 1$, and both $1$ and $f \star 1$ are multiplicative. So $f$ is multiplicative.
In your second question you can use Möbius inversion. In particular, given $g(n)$, you can consider the function
$$f(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} g(d)\mu(n/d). \tag{1}$$
Then by Möbius inversion, you know that
$$ g(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} f(d).$$
So we have found one such function. You must now show it is unique. Since $g$ is multiplicative, it suffices to consider only prime powers. But the difference in $(1)$ between $g(p^k)$ and $g(p^{k+1})$ is exactly $f(p^{k+1})$. So you can guarantee the values of $f$ are unique at each prime power


Histone acetyltransferase GCN5 is essential for heat stress-responsive gene activation and thermotolerance in Arabidopsis.
Exposure to temperatures exceeding the normal optimum levels, or heat stress (HS), constitutes an environmental disruption for plants, resulting in severe growth and development retardation. Here we show that loss of function of the Arabidopsis histone acetyltransferase GCN5 results in serious defects in terms of thermotolerance, and considerably impairs the transcriptional activation of HS-responsive genes. Notably, expression of several key regulators such as the HS transcription factors HSFA2 and HSFA3, Multiprotein Bridging Factor 1c (MBF1c) and UV-HYPERSENSITIVE 6 (UVH6) is down-regulated in the gcn5 mutant under HS compared with the wild-type. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays indicated that GCN5 protein is enriched at the promoter regions of HSFA3 and UVH6 genes, but not in HSFA2 andrequire their teams to enable two-step verification limit access to private code by IP address. Let’s take a deeper look at how admins can benefit from IP whitelisting and required 2-step verification.

Ensure secure access with required two-step verification

Two-step verification (also known as 2FA) ensures your data will continue to be protected even if someone else gets your password. This great for those who have it enabled as an extra security mechanism, but how do you really know if your team is taking advantage of this extra security? Manually following up is always an option for a small team, but what happens when your team grows to 10, 20, or more than 100?

syndrome. Of these, 21 (50%) demonstrated abnormal perfusion studies, two of which were classified as requiring urgent medical intervention. Seventeen studies were normal (41%) and four (10%) were designated equivocal. There was an alteration in the treatment plan for 32 patients (76%), including four for whom admission or further investigation was deemed unwarranted. The results suggest that MPS findings, distributed via the Internet, allow for earlier risk stratification and have a direct affect on clinical decision making.output data. The acquired data may represent said high resolution spectra at a plurality of temperatures. The modification may comprise processing said reference data so as to broaden the resolution to that which matches the sample spectral data being measured. The broadening may be carried out by a convolution technique in which the reference data are convolved with a computed line shape function appropriate to the spectrometer. These steps may be repeated for different reference data representing different concentrations of unwanted component or components.
The processor may also be arranged to generate perturbed versions of the broadened reference data to take into account variations in at least some operating parameters such as temperature and optical line width.
The filtering may include creating a filter for filtering the spectra to emphasise


higher resolution parts of the unrequired components. The filter may comprise a band pass filter. Filtering may also include carrying out a least square fit of the filtered sample spectral data to the filtered unwanted component spectra. Additionally the processor may iterate the least square fit to remove those parts of the spectrum which have a poor fit.
The processor may be arranged to use the resulting co-efficients to compute an unfiltered unwanted component spectrum. This is then subtracted from the measured sample spectrum in order to obtain a corrected sample spectrum.sulfur dioxide pollution near the refineries because the toxic gas is now burned off in a flare.

Valero appealed, and the panel's chairman, Bryan Shaw, said last April that the Legislature likely intended a broader interpretation of the law. He instructed his staff to research whether they could award partial exemptions to Valero. Shaw declined to be interviewed for this story, saying it could present a conflict because the issue will be brought before him again.

Shaw, the environmental commissioner who encouraged the panel to take a new look at the oil company tax refund, was hand-picked for his post by Gov. Rick Perry. He’s an odd choice to head an environmental quality panel – as Mother Jonesreported last week, he’s a climate change skeptic who has a long history


petition signatures and offered $10,000 cookies and brownies at a mock "bake sale" designed to raise awareness about the money at stake. Eight Houston schools planned similar mock sales for later in the day.

The mom-turned-activist said she learned about the refineries' requests while unsuccessfully lobbying earlier this year to convince Perry and the Legislature to dip into the state's so-called rainy day fund to ease cuts to the schools.

Gonzales lives near a miles-long stretch of refineries, where massive pipes and stacks light the night like skyscrapers do in other cities. An intense, burnt chemical scent hangs over the town.

Although Fischer is not yet listed as a confirmed speaker at this year’s event, attendees will have the honor of sharing the stage with some pretty extreme Religious Right activists, including Liberty Council’s Mat Staver, who opposes anti-bullying initiatives that protect LGBT kids and says that gay rights supporters have “a very militaristic anti-Christian viewpoint”; retired General Jerry Boykin, who thinks President Obama is using health care reform legislation to recruit an army of brownshirts loyal only to him; and Star Parker, who claims that black family life “was more healthy” under slavery than today.

And that’s not to mention the two main organizers of the


closed-door session with Texas pastors sponsored by the U.S. Pastor Council, and hosted a state prayer breakfast that featured Gary Bauer as the keynote speaker. And last year, he was visited by a group of pastors associated with the dominionist New Apostolic Reformation, who told him that God had chosen him for bigger things; they were among the leaders of last weekend's "Response."

The Response itself was called by Perry but sponsored and paid for by the American Family Association, which has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for its pattern or spreading false and denigrating information about gay people, and which promotes some of the ugliest bigotry spewed on the nation's airwaves. Among the extremist co-sponsors and speakers at The Response were dominionistdecision that corporations have the same rights as citizens to influence elections.

Perry's economic policies may be good for corporate profits, but they aren't much of an economic model for the rest of us. Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote earlier this year:

Texas is where the modern conservative theory of budgeting -- the belief that you should never raise taxes under any circumstances, that you can always balance the budget by cutting wasteful spending -- has been implemented most completely. If the theory can't make it there, it can't make it anywhere.

Debt owed by the state of Texas has doubled during Perry's tenure as governor; the state's per-capita debt is worse than California's. And this year, Texas lawmakers wrestled with a budget shortfall that


Associated Press called "one of the worst in the nation." Perry's budget relied heavily on federal stimulus funds to plug a massive 2010 budget deficit. The budget finally passed this year cut some $4 billion out of state support for public education and is expected to result in tens of thousands of teacher layoffs.

Meanwhile, Texas ranks at or near the bottom of many indicators of individual and community health. It is worst in the country in the percentage of children with health insurance and pregnant women receiving early prenatal care. It has the highest percentage of workers earning at or below the minimum wage. It has the lowest percentage of adults with a high school diploma. It is worst for known carcinogens released into the air and amongthe worst for toxic pollution overall.

The Right Online

Perry has sometimes adopted the Sarah Palin approach to media. According to the conservative Daily Caller, Perry declined to meet with newspaper editorial boards during his primary race against Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, but "went out of his way to make himself available to conservative bloggers." The Caller's Matt Lewis predicts that "a large percentage of conservative bloggers for sites like RedState.com" will "jump on the Perry bandwagon."

week, there will be plenty of attention on his shifting political views. But Romney's changing positions are not just the tragicomic tale of a man so desperate for the presidency he'll say anything to get there: they're also a valuable measure of what it takes to make it in the modern GOP.

Romney's many breathtaking U-turns -- on universal health care, on gay rights, on abortion rights -- have been extensively documented and parsed, and have become a reliable punchline. The former governor's willingness to adopt the position that he thinks will get him the most votes in whatever election he happens to be running in does speak to his own character. But Romney's ease at shifting also makes him a perfect weathervane for measuring the audiences he isof the countries they live in and see it as their sacred duty to achieve this totalitarian supremacy in practice." Yet while Gingrich decries radical Islamists' goal of achieving "totalitarian supremacy," one of his own organizations, Renewing American Leadership, is run by an advocate of the 7 Mountains Mandate, a dominionist theology that argues that Christians are meant to control the levers of power in every aspect of government and society.

Gingrich is ideologically joined at the hip to "Christian nation" pseudo-historian David Barton. In Barton's worldview, the First Amendment is not about protecting religious pluralism, but was only meant to keep the federal government from siding with one group of Christians over another. Barton believes the First Amendment should not apply at all to the states, but that


have the advantages of both serial and parallel flow tube designs for measuring minimal flow rates.
The present invention has a serial flow tube. Serial flow tube and parallel flow tube flowmeters each have advantages and disadvantages. For the same tube parameters, i.e. inside tube diameter, tube wall thickness, and tube geometry, an oscillating serial flow tube generates more Coriolis force than an oscillating parallel flow tube since all the flow passes through each portion of a serial flow tube instead of only half of the flow passing through each portion of a parallel flow tube.
The disadvantage of a serial flow tube is that the pressure drop through a serial flow tube is higher than for a parallel flow tube with the same tube parameters. To reduce pressure drop,a flush poke-through fitting that has a height adjustable data mounting bracket.

MANAGEMENT OF GIANT RETINAL TEARS USING TRANSSCLERAL DIODE LASER RETINOPEXY AND SHORT-TERM POSTOPERATIVE TAMPONADE WITH PERFLUORO-N-OCTANE.
To determine the results of pars plana vitrectomy for giant retinal tear detachments using transscleral diode laser retinopexy and short-term postoperative tamponade with perfluoro-n-octane (PFnO). Twenty consecutive patients with fresh giant retinal tears were enrolled in a single-arm prospective study. One case was withdrawn for technical reasons. The remainder all underwent pars plana vitrectomy, PFnO injection, transscleral diode laser retinopexy to the edge of the giant retinal tear, and short-term postoperative heavy liquid tamponade. None of the cases had scleral buckling or lensectomy. Nineteen cases (18 male and 1 female) with a mean age of 41 years (range 10-69 years) were followed up for a period of 6 months.

Ways to create a copy of an existing Database in Amazon Redshift

I come from a Microsoft SQL Server background and of late working on Amazon Redshift. Was looking for options to create a copy of development database for QA. The quickest way to accomplish this in SQL Server would be to generate scripts with schema & data for instance or use SSIS. What are the different options to accomplish the same in Amazon Redshift.

A:

The simplest way is taking a snapshot of your existing Redshift cluster and restoring to a new one. As Redshift is compatible with Postgres, you could also use Postgres backup tools, but it would be slower, more difficult to maintain and probably more expensive.


also the likelihood function. We can see that the solution to $-\nabla z(\boldsymbol{\theta}) = \mathbf{d}$ is the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of $\theta$.

We now consider the asymptotic distributions of the MLEs as the number of parameters goes to infinity. Let $V_n=(v_{ij})_{i,j=1,\ldots, n}$ be the Fisher information matrix of the parameters $\theta_1, \ldots, \theta_n$. It can be written as $$V_n= \frac{\partial^2 z(\boldsymbol{\theta})}{\partial \boldsymbol{\theta} \partial \boldsymbol{\theta}^T}.$$ For three common types of weights as introduced in Section 1, $V_n$ is the diagonal dominant matrix with nonnegative entries. This property is crucially used in the proof of the central limit theorem on the MLE.

Finite discrete weights
-----------------------

When network edges take finite discrete weights, we assume $\Omega = \{0,1, \ldots, q-1\}$ with $q$ a fixed integer. In this case, $\nu$ is the counting measuresolve the above system of equations or analogous problems in the next two subsections. Following Hillar and Wibisono (2013), we assume that $\max_{1\le i\le n}|\theta_i|$ is bounded by a constant when considering the asymptotic distribution of the MLE. The central limit theorem for the MLE is stated as follows, whose proof is given in Appendix A.

\[Thm:Asym:Binary\] In the case of finite discrete weights, the diagonal entries of $V_n$ has the following representation: $$v_{ii}=\sum_{j=1; j\neq i}^n
\frac{\sum_{0\le k< l\le q-1}(k-l)^2e^{(k+l)(\theta_i+\theta_j)} }{ (\sum_{a=0}^{q-1} e^{a(\theta_i+\theta_j)})^2 },~~i=1, \ldots, n.$$ Assume that $\max_{1\le i\le n}|\theta_i|$ is bounded by a fixed constant. Then for any fixed $r\ge 1$, the vector $(v_{11}^{1/2}(\hat{\theta}_1-\theta_1), \ldots,
v_{rr}^{1/2}(\hat{\theta}_r-\theta_r))$ is asymptotically standard multivariate normal as $n\to\infty$.

Notice that $\hat{\theta}_1, \ldots, \hat{\theta}_r$ are asymptotically mutually independent by the above theorem. This is due to


that the maximum entropy models imply the mutually independent edges in a graph. It further implies that $V_n^{-1}$ is an approximate diagonal matrix shown in Proposition \[Prop:Matrix:Inverse\] such that $\hat{\theta}_1, \ldots, \hat{\theta}_r$ are asymptotically mutually independent.

Continuous weights {#Sec:Weight-R}
------------------

When network edges take continuous weights, $\Omega = [0, \infty)$, $\nu$ is the Lebesgue measure on $[0, \infty)$ and the normalizing constant is $$z(\boldsymbol{\theta})=-\sum_{1\le i< j\le n} \log (\theta_i+\theta_j).
\iffalse
z_1(t) = \log \int_{{\mathbb{R}}_0} \exp(-ta) \: da =
\begin{cases}
\log(1/t) & \text{ if } t > 0 \\
\infty \quad & \text{ if } t \le q 0.
\end{cases}
\fi$$ Therefore, the corresponding natural parameter space is $$\Theta = \{(\theta_1, \dots, \theta_n) \in {\mathbb{R}}^n \colon \theta_i+\theta_j > 0 \text{ for } i \neq j\}.$$ The edge weights $a_{ij}$ ($1\le i< j\le n$) are independently distributed by exponential distributionsin the continuous and infinite discrete cases, we consider a special case $M_nL_n=1$. Since $e^{M_n/2}(e^{M_n}-1)\gg M_n=L_n^{-1}$ and $(e^{L_n}-1)e^{L_n/2}\sim L_n =M_n^{-1}$ when $M_n$ is large enough, the former is faster than the latter. This can be understood that a lower convergence rate can be incurred if the parameter vector is more quickly close to the boundary of the mean parameter space by noting that ${\mathbb{E}}(d_i)=\sum_{j\neq i} (\theta_i+\theta_j)^{-1}$ in the continuous case and ${\mathbb{E}}(d_i)=\sum_{j\neq i}(e^{\theta_i+\theta_j}-1)^{-1}$ in the infinite discrete case.

In contrast with the conditions (i.e., $M_n^2/L_n=o(n^{1/2}/(\log n)^{1/2})$ in the continuous case and $e^{5M_n}(e^{L_n/2}-1)^{-1/2}=o(n^{1/2}/(\log n)^{1/2})$ in the infinite discrete case) guaranteeing the consistency of the MLE by Hillar and Wibisono (2013), the ones for asymptotic normality seems much more strict. The simulations in the next section suggest there may be space


by Theorems \[Thm:Asym:Cont\] and \[Thm:ConsistencyDisc\], $\hat{v}_{ii}^{1/2}(\hat{\theta}_i-\theta_i)$ and $(\hat{\theta}_i+\hat{\theta}_j-\theta_i-\theta_j)/(1/\hat{v}_{ii}+1/v_{ii})^{1/2}$ are asymptotically normally distributed, where $\hat{v}_{ii}$ is the estimator of $v_{ii}$ by replacing $\theta_i$ with $\hat{\theta}_i$. The quantile-quantile (QQ) plots of $\hat{v}_{ii}^{1/2}(\hat{\theta}_i-\theta_i)$ are shown. We also report the $95\%$ coverage probabilities for certain $\theta_i-\theta_j$, as well as the probabilities that the maximum likelihood estimator does not exist in the case of discrete weights. The parameter settings in simulation studies are listed as follows. For continuous weights, let $\theta_i=\widetilde{M} + i\widetilde{M}^2/n,~i=1,\ldots, n$ such that $L_n\approx \widetilde{M}$, $M_n\approx \widetilde{M}^2$ and $M_n/L_n\approx \widetilde{M}$; for discrete weights, let $\theta_i=0.1+ i\widetilde{M}/n,~i=1, \ldots, n$ such that $L_n\approx 0.1$, $M_n\approx \widetilde{M}$, and $e^{M_n}/L_n\approx 10e^{\widetilde{M}}$. Here, we suppress the subscript $n$ of $\widetilde{M}$ in order to conveniently display the notations in the figures. A variety of $\widetilde{M}$ arechosen: $\widetilde{M}=1$, $\log(n)$, $n^{1/2}$, $n$ for continuous weights; $\widetilde{M}=0$, $\log(\log n)$, $(\log n)^{1/2}$, $\log n$ for discrete weights.

The plots of $\hat{\theta}_i$ vs $\theta_i$ are shown in Figure 1. We used $\widetilde{M}=1$ in this figure for the case of discrete weights instead of $\widetilde{M}=0$ in order to make $\theta_i$ vary (When $\widetilde{M}=0$, all the $\theta_i$, $1\le i\le n$ equal to $0.1$). The red lines correspond to the case that $\theta=\hat{\theta}$. For each sub-figure, the first and second rows represent $n=100$ and $n=200$, respectively. The first, second and third columns represent $\widetilde{M} =1, \log (n), n^{1/2}$ for continuous weights and $\widetilde{M}=1, \log\log(n), (\log n)^{1/2}$ for discrete weights, respectively. From this figure, we can see that as $n$ increases, the estimators become more close to the true parameters. As $\widetilde{M}$ increases,

Anger, Frustration and Irritability:

Why is this happening to me? I did not take that trip to Italy for the vacation? Why should I pay for someone else’s carelessness? These are just some questions that have flit through our minds at some point during this lockdown. Therefore, we are vulnerable to negative feelings such as anger, frustration and irritability.

Stigmatization:

Currently, innumerable doctors and other health workers are at the receiving end of threats, anger and frustration. They are abused and thrown out of their homes as they are seen to be ‘dirty’. People from the Northeastern states are also facing similar abuse not only from people but also from law enforcers. Social stigmatization is one of the unfortunate outcomes of pandemics


those shows I’ll always love.”

Riggle’s pick for favorite TV episode of all time, “Threat Level Midnight,” was the 17th episode of the show’s Season 7. Written by series star B.J. Novak and directed by Tucker Gates, the episode features a screening of Michael Scott’s (Carell) terrible homemade action thriller, first referenced five seasons earlier. Not only did the episode feature the return of previous guest stars, but the regular cast had to act and look like they did in Season 2 — in order to make it believable that the footage in Michael’s movie had been shot five years prior.

“It really is one of the most satisfying pleasing things you could ever hope to see,” Riggle said of the episode. “It rewards everybody. Every genre, every bad line,and you could picture the world. I pitched it to my comedic friends and they liked it, I took it to Sony/Crackle and God bless them, they shared the vision.”

It’s the latest in a line of projects where Riggle plays a version of himself — “a little louder, more obnoxious, dumber. My favorite comedic game to play has always been arrogant ignorance. The guy large and in charge and completely ignorant. I’ve met people like that my whole life and they’re hilarious.”

Riggle has a busy fall lined up: He just shot a Fox comedy pilot with Kaitlin Olson and Leah Remini, written by Rob McElhenney and Rob Rosell. He also once again appears weekly on Fox NFL Sunday for his comedy segment. And he co-stars in this fall’s


less represented among male volunteers, who, in general, showed a healthier dietary pattern (more fresh fruit and less spirits).

Other statistically significant differences emerged, but the absolute values of these differences were usually modest and the two groups appeared remarkably similar.

But he had done a decent job as the coach of Indiana Pacers, and the anticipation over Thomas was notable. Stephen A. Smith, who would spend the next five years crucifying Isiah, told the Knick fans to celebrate because brighter days were on the way.

The Search for a Christian Spirituality

Channeling the deep, mysterious desires of our hearts, Ronald Rolheiser leads readers from restlessness to peace, showing a contemporary path to authentic and healthy spiritual life.

In The Holy Longing, Ronald Rolheiser probes the question “What is spirituality?”, cutting through the misunderstanding and confusion that can often surround this subject with his trademark clarity. Using examples and stories relevant for today, and with great sensitivity to modern challenges to religious faith, he explains the essentials of spiritual life, including the importance of community worship, the imperatives surrounding social action, and the centrality of the Incarnation, to outline a Christian spirituality that reflects the yearning and search for meaning at the core of the human experience.

an install – up to three times the size of the APK itself. This may cause friction for users who experience install failures even though they appear to have enough free space on their device. By moving data to an external file, the total disk space required to complete an install is reduced because the APK file itself becomes smaller.

Using Expansion Files

Expansion files are automatically downloaded and installed when a user installs a Gear VR application. The install process does not complete, and the app is not available for launch, until the expansion file has been completely downloaded. Updates to expansion files are also automatically delivered. If an expansion file is missing the user will be warned the next time they launch the application. We strongly recommend thatup to date. Your businesses problems are bad software
design paradigms.

It's easy to give people grief and say "I told you so" without any context.

What are the alternatives? Who would have made the call to sole-source all
computers and buy Macs in 2002? Other than Munich, who is operating broad-
scale Linux desktop environments?

I'm not whining about it, my organization is dealing with it just fine. But
Microsoft should be handling it in a way that is less painful, because they
are going to lose a lot of business. They are forgetting that 2014 isn't 2004.

As someone itching to use SNI for SSL certificates, I'm all for discontinuing
a thirteen year old consumer operating system.

Anyone who hasn't updated yet isn't going to update until they get cut off
from patches. Time to do so.

Even then,


there's still Android 2.x, currently 1/4 of the Android population.
Though it's a safe bet that WinXP will be the more tenacious of the two.

Yeah, I figure the short lifespan of mobile devices works in our favour there.

Derrrr. The headline would be "Microsoft risks security reputation ruin by
failing to retire XP" if they didn't.

How exactly? They've already kept it for 13 years. What's the argument for not
continuing to fix its bugs for another 5 years, from a security point of view,
and not a "Microsoft's profits" point of view? It's not about keeping selling
it, but about supporting the people who already use it.

You could argue the same about any old piece of software. The thing is that
people working on xp cost money, they cost time. Both of those could behas declined to
disclose, to show how prevalent XP really is, rather than make the media and
customers rely on estimates from the likes of Net Applications._

Why is this metric secret? Do Ms want to conceal this from competitors,
blackhats, consumers, or some other party?

Maybe they should open source XP? Of course that would probably never happen,
but would be quite 'philantropic' of Sire Gates ....

That would find the hacks faster.

Not necessarily.

But it would definitely make patching and improving the thing easier.

If it were that simple, it would have happened already.

There are still a lot of businesses that, unfortunately, depend very heavily
on Windows XP for their ongoing operation. The cost associated with switching
may far, far exceed any benefit it


Nursing interventions to reduce stress in parents of hospitalized preterm infants.
Parental stress related to having a neonate in a Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) has been well documented in the nursing literature. Yet, as nurses we need to be reminded of strategies that can combat this stress and ease the transition to home.relatively recent innovation. It was not until LEDs emitting in the blue/ultraviolet of the electromagnetic spectrum were developed that it became practical to develop white light sources based on LEDs. As is known white light generating LEDs (“white LEDs”) include a phosphor, that is a photo luminescent material, which absorbs a portion of the radiation emitted by the LED and re-emits radiation of a different color (wavelength). For example the LED emits blue light in the visible part of the spectrum and the phosphor re-emits yellow or a combination of green and red light, green and yellow or yellow and red light. The portion of the visible blue light emitted by the LED which is not absorbed by the phosphor mixes with the yellow light emitted to provide

Gold Spot Dairy, Inc., 417 F.2d 761, 762 (10th Cir.1969), the Board cannot postulate findings unsupported by any evidence.   In this case, there is absolutely no evidence in the record that Cavins' alleged threat against Gill was motivated by anti-Union animus in any way.   At most the evidence suggests that Cavins may not have liked "outsiders" meddling in his company's affairs.   The only suggestion that this dialog was motivated by anti-Union animus appears as argument by counsel for the Board, not in the form of testimony.   In the absence"a union cannot simply ignore its responsibility to initiate bargaining over subjects of concern and thereafter accuse the employer of violating its statutory duty to bargain."  Island Typographers, 705 F.2d at 51.   Further, the filing of an unfair labor practice charge does not relieve the Union of its obligation to request bargaining.  Associated Milk Producers, 300 N.L.R.B. at 564 ("[I]t [i]s incumbent on the Union to request bargaining--not merely to protest or file an unfair labor practice charge.").

In this case, the Union candidly admits it never requested effects bargaining at any time during the week of the June 8th, or any time thereafter, thereby waiving its right to effects bargaining.   The Union's chief negotiator testified that he "knew we could bargain over


engaged in good faith bargaining, and there was no evidence that it would not have bargained about the layoffs.  Id. at 570.   The Board noted that the absence of notice was an "important fact" suggesting the unlawfulness of the layoffs, but the Union subsequently led the company to believe that it did not object, thus constituting waiver.  Id. at 571.

In this case the Union had advance notice of the subcontracting decision, the Union had ample opportunity to request bargaining both during the week that the electricians were still on the payroll and thereafter, and there was evidence of willingness on the part of the company to bargain about effects.   In light of all these factors, the Union's failure to request bargaining waivedin its promastigote as well as in its amastigote form. Later, we have conceptualized the working of the identified putative Theophylline binding riboswitch cassette in in vitro using E. coli based reporter assay, wherein, a reporter gene (eGFP) is used instead of RNA Polymerase III subunit1 gene and apparently have shown the downregulation of the reporter gene (eGFP) expression under the influence of in silico identified Theophylline binding riboswitch.
