soon realized is that it became cumbersome to manage any updates to the cluster provided through kops. While it was obvious that we needed to fully embrace kops, we could not do that while still trying to build the entire cluster out with Terraform. We needed to let go of Terraform a little to have them play nicely together. We decided to manage our cluster with kops, and our add-on infrastructure with Terraform.

We spent a considerable amount of time experimenting with Kubernetes. During this time, we tried out various open source tools and we even developed our own. We found that using kops and Terraform allows us to quickly and reliably create our Kubernetes clusters within the AWS infrastructure. Using Terraform lead us to kops, however they are'''Panoweaver''' is a good fisheye stitcher at a reasonable price, sold by Easypano.

Whereas human sewage is treated with chemical and mechanical filtration before being released into the environment, CAFOs channel waste from hog houses into pits or lagoons, where it is stored untreated until it is applied to land. All lagoons leach to some degree,49,50,51 and during hurricanes and storms they can overflow or burst, spilling raw sewage onto the landscape and into waterways. In 1995 an eight-acre lagoon ruptured, spilling 22 million gallons of manure into North Carolina’s New River, killing millions of fish and other organisms; other spills followed that summer.52,53 Even without spills, ammonia and nitrates may seep into groundwater, especially in the coastal plain where the waterAs Range

Q:

Cannot install any ruby gems on Mac OS - SSL_connect error

My environment is Mac OS 10.10.5, ruby version 2.2.4 (or 2.2.2 or 2.2.0) gem (after upgrade) is 2.6.7, rvm version 1.27.0.
This has several duplicates even in the last few days but this is more information than I can put in a comment.
When installing any gems on any version of ruby I get the following:

right. By doing so, however, we caused far more damage to the world than we had ourselves endured. By trying to fix other people’s problems, we created even more, and the harder we pushed, the more the world pushed back. And this was not a new trend – one of the negative labels often affixed to the United States is that of “world policeman.” We have a long, long habit of trying to help everyone, whether that is the right thing to do or not.

In that vein, the Superman of Red Son, despite being a Soviet, is a reflection of ourselves. He is a man of immense power, who decides to help everybody. His intentions are good, but good intentions are not always rewarded with good results. Hiscompared during room-air breathing following sustained normoxia and isocapnic hypoxia (SaO2 approximately 85%). Time to arousal and minimum esophageal pressure preceding arousal were measured. Time to arousal was significantly increased following hypoxia compared with normoxia for resistive loads (24.6 + 4.4 seconds vs. 12.6 +/- 1.9 seconds, p = .007) but not occlusions. Minimum esophageal pressure prior to arousal was more negative following hypoxia for both external loads (-16.8 +/- 1.2 vs. -13.5 +/- 1.3 cm H2O, p = .035) and occlusions (-19.6 +/- 2.2 vs. -15.1 +/- 1.5 cm H2O, p = .029). We conclude that sustained isocapnic hypoxia delays arousal to inspiratory loading during sleep and increases the respiratory arousal threshold. This has implications for disorders characterized by sustained nocturnal hypoxia, such as neuromuscular weakness, chronic

BERN (Reuters) - Swiss lawmakers are pushing the government to amend the law on how to handle ill-gotten bank profits seized by authorities and pave the way to return more than $100 million linked to scandal-hit sovereign fund 1MDB to the Malaysian people.

Although the Swiss government opposes the call, saying it has no legal powers to repatriate the funds that will otherwise flow into the Swiss budget, it has not shut the door entirely.

"Switzerland's international reputation is at stake if it ignores the justified demands from Malaysia," said Carlo

the gene pool, since it doesn’t lead to reproduction.

It may simply be for pleasure.

"Not every sexual act has a reproductive function," said Janet Mann, a biologist at Georgetown University who studies dolphins (homosexual behavior is very common in these marine mammals). "That's true of humans and non-humans."

Some scientists have proposed that being gay may serve its own evolutionary purpose.

"It could be a way that you strengthen bonds — that's one hypothesis," Mann told LiveScience. "Another is that it could be practice for heterosexual sex. Bottlenose dolphin calves mount each other a lot. That might benefit them later on."

Marlene Zuk, a biologist at the University of California, Riverside, suggested that gay individuals contribute to the gene pool of their community by nurturing their relatives’ young without diverting resources byLewiston couple loves disabled puppy ‘just the same’

Lady, an 8-month-old chihuahua mix, was born with deformed front legs. "We wanted her paws to be fixed so she could be like any other dog," said Kitty Roy. A vet told Roy and her husband, Richard, that nothing could be done.

She was the last puppy in a litter of their granddaughter’s dog. Just weeks old, the Chihuahua mix was a tiny bundle of yellow fur. By the time she tilted her tiny head to look at them, the Roys were smitten.

And the unit is in bit, the same bit computer uses. 0 or 1.
Example 1
Fair coin flip :
How much information can we get from one coin flip?
Answer : -log(p) = -log(1/2) = 1 (bit)
Example 2
If a meteor strikes the Earth tomorrow, p=2^{-22} then we can get 22 bits of information.
If the Sun rises tomorrow, p ~ 1 then it is 0 bit of information.
Entropy
So if we take expectation on the interesting-ness of an event Y, then it is the entropy.
i.e. entropy is an expected value of the interesting-ness of an event.
H(Y) = E[ I(Y)]

More formally, the entropy is the expected number of bits of an event.
Example
Y = 1 : an event X occurs with probability p
Y = 0 : an event X does not occur with probabilityone.

Data on the 1529 residents 25--64 years old, were collected between February 2013 and January 2015 \[[@CR12]\]. Participants were asked separate questions about the previous 12 months injuries at home, during leisure activities, at work, about Road Traffic Injuries (RTI) while commuting to work and non-work related RTIs. From respondents declaring one or more injuries, information was collected on treatment received for each injury with the following answer options: admitted and stayed overnight in hospital; admitted but did not stay overnight in hospital; treated by a doctor or nurse outside the hospital; and no consultation or intervention was necessary.

Information about EHES-LUX, EHIS and IDB-Luxembourg was sent to the Nationnal Data Protection Comittte prior to data collection.

Georgia’s least wanted

The voracious feral hog is just one invasive species causing concern in Georgia.

Known as “the seventh worst weed in the world,” cogongrass was documented at fewer than 10 sites in Georgia in 2004. By 2012, this Asian grass variety had spread to more than 600. Now covering 1.25 million acres of the southeastern U.S., cogongrass is more widespread than kudzu, the region and state’s most infamous invasive. Fortunately, all known cogongrass sites in Georgia have been mapped and treated.

A more recent arrival in Georgia, the emerald ash borerfirst appeared near Atlanta in 2013. The small green beetle native to Asia and east Russia is widespread throughout much


populations and their impact on native species, the economy and environmental and human health.

This goal is achieved through early detection and rapid response programs, cooperative management activities, and public outreach and education. The strategy also includes monitoring and research of invasive species to determine key management priorities, as well as designing and proposing legislative or regulatory measures.

The invasive strategy was called for in Georgia’s State Wildlife Action Plan, a comprehensive strategy guiding DNR and partner efforts to conserve Georgia’s native wildlife and natural habitats. That plan is being revised, yet will continue to emphasize controlling exotics.

so, where’s this thing about “hunters helping farmers” going ? I signed up for it when I first heard about it,but when i hover over the links the background of my nav bar increases downwards a bit as if to fit my new text size. How can I stop the background from changing size?

A:

Set line-height:18pt for your hover, it will stop the anchor increasing it's original height:
a.nav:hover {
  color: red;
  font-size: larger;
  line-height:18pt;

she pulled down the old photograph and looked at it intently. It was one of her mom and dad, an old one from before she was even born. Her mom still had her long, beautiful hair that draped around her flushed face while her dad's hair was lighter and even more untidy than usual. He wore the same dorky glasses then that he wore now, the kind that never stayed up on his face like they're supposed to. Aito grinned back at their laughing faces and reached to put the picture back on the shelf when she noticed a book that had been hiding behind it.

This one had no title on the spine, so she pulled it off the shelf to look at it better. The book lookedwas at most. She would have just thought it was all a dream or a temporary loss of sanity, but one look at the bottom of her socks testified otherwise. Yuck! Traveling between worlds definitely required shoes.

Find the adjectives in the following sentences and underline them:

1.The little mouse hastily scurried up the tall pole with its stolen cheese.

"Who comes up with these things?" Aito muttered under her breath.

When the bell rang, Aito stood up along with everyone else and started shoving all her stuff into her backpack. She was in a hurry to get home, where she had left _Tanil_. Once the thought of that book and world came to mind, her imagination kicked into overdrive. What if it pulled her away at school, in the middle of


Rokir was completely focused on his food and then shot a look under the table. Rokir was wagging his tail! Aito had to take an extra-large bite of her metza to keep from laughing out loud and almost choked, but Rokir didn't notice.

"So, kid, where are you from?"

Aito really did choke on her metza and had to take a gulp of water before she said, "What?"

Rokir's ears twitched. He hated repeating himself almost as much as waiting. "Where are you from?"

Aito looked at Rokir, her face completely blank as she tried to think. What should she say? She thought about making up a name, but he was bound to notice.

"If you don't want to say, that's fine," Rokir offered, thinking she was ashamed to say. "I'm from Gard,guard by this sudden urge to change subjects. Hadn't he done this the last time she tried to talk about Aegle? But there was something else that Aito wanted to ask, although she felt more than a little embarrassed to ask it.

"Erm, well, people, like, oh, uh, the tyroks, they're safe, aren't they? I mean, Rokir and Sakina both seem nice, but...Oh..." Aito bit her tongue and felt sure that she was saying something both stupid and very possibly rude.

"Ah..." Once again Cain recalled the night before, and her earlier remark. "Well, there is one thing you should probably know about..."

"What?"

"Tyroks are normally quite safe. Well, as much as any people can be. But Rokir is a strange sort. You've noticed how he looks like a wolf? Almost


so quiet.

Sakina felt the same way. Clearing her throat, she looked at Aito and said, "So, why don't you tell us a little about yourself, since all of us are traveling together now?"

Aito knew that Sakina was just trying to be nice, or at least polite, but when everyone looked at her too she felt her face began to turn red and she started to wish that Sakina hadn't said anything at all. She stammered, "W-well, there isn't, uh, that m-m-much to tell. Uh..."

She was sure Cain winced, or he might have been holding back a laugh.

Aegle cut in, "A young seran such as yourself winds up with a gaillos thief? How is that not a lot to explain?"

"Leave the kid alone," Rokir grumbled. He didn't like AegleCain walked away and Aito disappeared under her blanket. Less than a minute later she climbed out, enjoying being back in clothes that had that familiar, comfortable feeling.

Cain was sitting next to the illusory fire with his back to her when she walked up. She sat down a safe distance away and waited.

"Good job coming up with the name thing," he said after a moment, his eyes watching the strange little flame.

"But what am I supposed to do when he figures it out? Or if they start asking questions again?"

Cain's eyes narrowed and the little flame took on a cooler, almost blue color. "I'm not sure. I'll have to think up a past for you, I suppose."

"You mean more lying," Aito said. It wasn't a question, just a


she made it to second base before the ball even made it back into the infield.

One out later, it was Shane's turn. This time, everyone braced themselves, on field and off. Shane was as notorious for showing off as a kicker as he was as a pitcher.

Shane pointed to the back fence. "Home run guys!"

Lynn snorted and called back, "I'll believe it when I see it!"

Shane reared back, kicked, and—

"Foul!"

"You don't have to yell it Lynn!"

"Strike!"

Shane glared at third base and Lynn stuck her tongue out in return while Val tried to control a sudden case of the giggles.

As the red ball bounced his way a third time, Shane managed to focus and connect, sending the ball flying between first and second. Shane and Val took off, oneseen her since they left Duna. Her eyes were bright and her small tail was moving back and forth happily.

Aito's first impression of Farrhing was one of pure awe. She didn't think she had ever seen so many people in one place before. The streets were packed with people all going different ways and calling out to one another. The streets twisted away from them in so many directions that Aito had no doubt that she would get lost within seconds of being on her own. All of the buildings around them had a precise, fine look to them, and even if they didn't all look the same with some old, some new, they all had the same feeling of belonging together like they were all planned by


Aito had seen so far, Rokir always cheered up when food was involved.

"But—"

"Come on," Rokir called from up ahead, turning to look back at them. "You guys are so slow today! Hurry up before you get left behind."

Taking this as an excuse to escape from Aegle and Sakina, Aito said, "Sorry, can't talk now!" and ran to catch up with the others.

Chapter 7: Of Leonidas, Doors, and the Cat's Meow

So once again they were following Cain, this time through several streets that twisted and turned in every direction. As they went, the buildings and houses became larger and grander, until they came out onto a wide street where it was a mixture of the biggest homes and businesses and then simply the oldest. Everything, especially the road, hadnot a shabby, but more of a well-worn look to it. No small wonder there, considering the number of people that were coming and going along this road and its side streets.

The way that Cain led them, through much bumping and jostling to get through the crowds, ended at a massive gate in an equally impressive wall. The gate stood open with a guard on either side staring straight ahead. Through it (and above it) Aito could see a castle, the same one that had been attracting her attention ever since it came into sight. Aito craned her neck back, but she could barely see it now because of the walls. Still, the little view through the gate was awe inspiring.

For a moment, it looked as though Cain


one is for a Sakina, and the one on the end..." He paused and his whiskers twitched furiously. "It goes to an, ahem, 'little mouse.' Ahem."

Aito didn't even start to blush. She was beginning to expect it now.

"Thank you," Sakina said.

The verkoni's whiskers stopped, cocked at an angle. "If you'll excuse me." With a bow and a swift twitch, he was gone, going back the way that he had come.

Sakina muffled a giggle, but Aegle wasn't to be distracted. He turned to continue questioning Aito, but she was already halfway in her own room.

"Good night!"

"What, good night? But it's not even late!"

The door was shut before Aegle could do anything and now he heard the definite sound of the lock clicking.

"Blast it!" Aegle rattled the knob, but itHis Highness would like to speak with you. He did not say about what."

"I think I have an idea. Speaking of which, Cain Crusan is in the next room. If you could come back in an hour or so and tell him something like..."

"Sir Leonidas is sorry to keep you waiting, but he was called away on urgent matters?"

"Very good! Then just send him back on his way if you will, thank you."

"Will do, sir."

Cain smiled to himself and waited until the two had left before setting out on an indirect course toward his room. Like Leonidas really expected it to be that easy.

***

The next morning it was gray and overcast. Aito looked out at the sky from the window in her room and wondered it if it


to the alleys," Cain finished. He walked a couple of feet away and breathed out slowly. "Little mouse, come here."

Aito didn't look at Aegle. After a moment's hesitation, she walked over to Cain, her eyes still fixed steadily on the ground. Cain spoke to her, fast and low so that Aegle couldn't pick up what was said, but he could tell by the look on his face and the way Aito's shoulders slumped that it was some kind of telling off. Aito nodded once and Aegle came close to feeling sorry for her.

Well, until Cain said, "You two are going to the Trader's District to find Sakina. Maybe she can pick up a scent, so I want you to send her back here as soon as possible. Ior twice she lost sight of Aegle. She wished he wouldn't walk so fast, but part of her didn't want to catch up with the korin.

Why didn't she do anything? Stupid, stupid! Aito thought to herself. She had even seen the pendant around Dismas's neck, but it felt like she had been caught between two different things that had kept her rooted to the ground. She did want to go home (she certainly didn't want to go through anymore of this). But...

Aito shook her head and realized that she had lost sight of Aegle again. She sped up, looking around as she went, but there was no sign of him. She saw a flash of fair hair turning down a side street and chased after it, but there


the ice cream shop where they had eaten yesterday. She had made it to the Trader's District.

Too bad Aegle and Sakina had left this place a long time ago. Aito searched the crowds, hoping to find a familiar face, but with no luck. She blinked as something wet hit her head and looked up just as it started to rain.

***

Cain found an outside staircase not far down the alley, and he followed it up and around the building until he reached the rooftop. This part of the city had many of these old wooden staircases, and the rooftops were often considered common ground, as each was connected to the other in a series of planks and walkways. It was possible to go around over half the city withoutto do what he could.

"I can give you a way out of this, thief, just—"

"Give back what I stole, and then walk away scot-free? Somehow, I doubt that," Dismas said blandly. "Besides, I already sold the painting."

Cain had figured on that. That's what he had sent Sakina scouting for in the Trader's District this morning. "And what of the neck, ah, pend-...ugh..."

"Ah, I prefer to call it a pendant. Necklace just sounds too feminine," supplied Dismas. "As for handing it over to you? Not for all of the fake pardons in the world."

Something short, brown, and furry slammed into Cain, knocking him forward. An agonized yelp followed by a groan came from Dismas as his wing was wrenched from the seran's weight falling on it, but the thief


behind a stack of crates.

"What do you mean, you mmf—?"

Gear couldn't finish his question because Dismas put his hand over his mouth. Outside of the alley, less than six feet away, Cain ran by. Both thieves remained silent, listening until the footsteps had died away.

Only then did Dismas remove his hand and whisper, "I can't fly. I think I might wrenched one of my wings when you knocked into the seran—what were you thinking, anyway?"

Gear scuffed his feet along the ground, hating how Dismas had turned from self-concern to scolding. "I saved you, didn't I?" His tone and the way he stuck out his bottom lip defiantly made him look even more like a child, but Dismas wasn't falling for that.

"You were lucky. If Cain hadn't been distracted—"

"Butin peace.

"Rokir was here before you were, Trik. Nice guy, but he got on the wrong side of Bane somehow. Luckiest thing that ever happened to him, getting sent away for disobeying direct orders," the korin explained.

Huh. That didn't sound like Rokir. He always listened to Cain, even if Cain was being...well, Cain.

"Wait, I thought everyone was on Sergeant Bane's bad side," Trik said.

"That's because Bane doesn't have a good side," said a seran who had been silent up until now. "There's the way the sarge hates everyone, and then there's the unfortunate few who cross over to the dark side. Rokir's the only one I know of who didn't quit. They had to force him to go to Duna. The guy must just be asking for it,


important as Leonidas seemed to be. It made sense, considering how he knew Farrhing so well, and how he knew about the side door, and how he was friends with Leonidas. It might even explain how Dismas knew Cain, and why he hated him so much. Well, maybe.

And that had Aito thinking about yesterday, particularly her conversation with Dismas. She replayed the conversation in her head as she watched the horses graze, until a sick feeling crashed over her.

" _Do you really think that it is safe for you to be traveling with a seran?"_

Dismas had said that yesterday, but only now did Aito grasp what he meant. But no, maybe it hadn't been meant that way? It's not like he could possibly know, right?

Suddenly, and for theof the sort that didn't grow where she came from. She could see how she would be safe here; why would Dismas want to go to a garden? This was probably the last place in the caps that Dismas would want to get into.

Kyrios smiled, a smile that was a little too big for a seran but too small for a tyrok. "And I assure you, the door is quite easy to open."

"Well, if that's the case," Aito said, unable to hold back a laugh as she thought of the heavy, rusted over gate she had tried to get through the night before. She stepped into the garden while Kyrios shut the door behind her and left to find Leonidas, to warn him of the thief in the


no strangers to ordering takeout. She walked into the kitchen and wrinkled her nose at the smell in there. One look in the garbage can testified to her dad's latest attempt at cooking. Well, at least he tried. Aito was secretly saving up her allowance to get her dad a cookbook, although she wasn't sure it would help any. Maybe she should ask Cain for some tips. Aito shuddered. Did she just think that?

Later, when Aito and her dad were sitting across the table from each other, her dad couldn't help noticing how restless she seemed to be while he was divvying up the food. It was hard to miss when she started pulling apart one of the empty boxes and fidgeting with it, turning it in andthat everyone had told her without ever doubting their word. She had even believed Cain's story about Rokir, and it wasn't until she repeated it to her dad that she recognized the obvious lie. She had already promised herself that she was going to get back at him for that.

"Thanks Dad," Aito said and started to really eat her food.

He dad smiled and tapped one of the drawings. "Now I wouldn't mind being one of these serans, if I could have a super cooking ability."

Aito laughed. "I think I'd rather be a gaillos, so I could fly." She had envied Dismas a little ever since meeting him for that.

"I think I would get air sick. The ground seems much better to me," Dad declared, pushing his glasses back


to try to warm it up. It was odd how the book seemed to send off a chill of its own. He laughed a little and started cleaning up to banish the ridiculous thought that had just occurred to him. It was just a story, after all.

***

Aito kept the book near her all that night, but morning came without any change. It hadn't tried to pull her to Tanil at all and it still felt frozen. Her dad asked her to do some laundry and Aito slipped her Tanilian clothes in with the others, hoping that they would shrink some but no such luck. They were still way too big, but at least they smelled better.

Aito glanced at the clothes hanging on the back of her door ashad not run in a circle, but nothing else seemed to explain what had just happened. But how? The thief could see all four castle walls from where he stood, though the trees and low shrubs blocked most of the view. This place couldn't be big enough to get lost in, there wasn't enough room.

Cain groaned as another jerk pulled him again and he stumbled forward, but upon catching sight of the thief he tried to change direction. Dismas said something, but the sound was lost as another shift came and in unison the walls and everything in them seemed to move back, stretching until coming back into place with a snap.

CRACK!

Cain and Dismas were propelled forward and their foreheads met, leaving both to stagger away dazed.

"What are


him from running away.

"I know what you think I was planning to do," said Cain, "but don't you think that I would have tried before now if I was going to?"

"Maybe the chance just didn't prevent itself."

Enraged, Cain brought back his hand in a fist, but Dismas was too fast and Cain too tired. The blow knocked Cain to his knees and the kick that followed sent Cain rolling helplessly away.

"Seran scum," Dismas spat, before taking off. Now that the garden was back to normal he could easily find his way out into one of the courtyards, and from there it was a straight shot to freedom.

Cain groaned, but there was nothing he could do to stop the thief. There was no way he could catch up withoverheard you talking to the other thief, and he noticed some odd things while you two were talking."

"Oh." Aito realized this was going to be a long walk, and not just because Sakina kept them moving at a slow pace.

"Like how you didn't even know each other's names, for example," said Aegle.

"Which is odd, because we believed you two had been working together that night in Duna. That's certainly what Rokir and Cain told us," Sakina said, trying to keep her tone light.

Aito didn't answer. Maybe if she didn't say anything they would get bored and go away.

"But we also know that you talked to Dismas again, later," Sakina added. Technically untrue, as the only thing Sakina knew for sure was that Dismas and Aito had been in


brain managed to keep track of this when Aito said, "You think I helped him get in the caps, don't you?"

"Well..." Sakina started.

"Did you?" Aegle asked.

"No! That's why I tried to tell somebody when I saw him!" Aito struggled, trying to get away from Sakina's grip, but Sakina was a lot stronger than she looked and it turned out to be a wasted effort.

"Did Cain know that you weren't working with the thief?" Sakina asked. When Aito didn't answer, Sakina said, "Let's assume that he did know. If that's true, then why would he bring you along?"

"You said something to Dismas when he offered you a way out, something about not being able to leave..." Aegle prompted.

Aito saw that this conversation had taken a very bad turn, butout soon enough; he usually did.

The tyrok turned his attention to Aito, who was pushing her food around on the plate and he asked, "Are you not hungry?"

"I...don't think so," Aito said and put her fork down. She attempted to stifle a yawn and failed.

Rokir tilted his head. This was a new concept to wrap his mind around, and after a moment's consideration he decided to put it down as just being tired, although even that had never put a stop on his appetite before now. The kid did look tired, almost as wiped out as Cain, who despite his eagerness in coming here was now staring his food down as if daring it to try something.

"Oh yeah," Aito said when she spotted the familiar orange and pink


been talking and...Well, we think there's something a little odd about the kid."

"Oh, not you too," Rokir groaned. "Aegle tried to tell me the same thing yesterday, but I didn't think you would get caught up in it."

"We talked to the kid," Aegle said. "I asked her about the thief and she said she wasn't working with him, but when I asked her why Cain brought her here then, she got all shifty and ran off. Why would she do that unless she's hiding something?"

Rokir thought about it. He could see several reasons for running away from Aegle and Sakina right now, and he wasn't being interrogated.

"She said it herself when she talked to that thief. Cain has something she wants, or needs, and that's the only reasonPel that, he might get offended. Besides, I consider him to be great company," Kyrios said with all apparent honesty.

Aito didn't notice where they were going until they reached the Trader's District, which was still going strong. Crowds filled the street and though most of the street vendors had put up for the day there seemed to be little difference between the afternoon crowd and this one. Aito felt a vague lump in her stomach and stopped. Without thinking she began to scan the crowds, expecting...What? A flash of white hair, or wings?

Kyrios noticed Aito hesitating again and took her hand. "Don't worry," he said, not asking for an explanation.

Aito felt ashamed of her fear, but that didn't stop her from glancing around every now and then while


garish color when Bane walked over to the dresser and said,

"Here is what I wanted to show you."

On the dresser was a set of small dolls, all of them about three inches long. They had a very simple, homemade look to them, and Aito was surprised to see something like them in a grown woman's room.

"I keep these around for sentimental reasons, I suppose you would say, and I thought you might like to look at them," Bane said as if in answer to Aito's thoughts.

Aito didn't know where Bane would have gotten that idea, but she politely moved closer and looked at the dolls. They were simple, but at the same time they were very recognizable. Aito picked up a mailin doll that even had its owndid you say that this thing belongs to Bane?" Rokir's snout bunched up and then he started to laugh, big, loud laughs that made him shake all over.

It seemed contagious, because soon Sakina was laughing and even Aegle chuckled a little at the idea of the fearsome sergeant owning a bunch of dolls for children.

Aito looked at Nash, who snorted and walked away from this laughing mess. It was nice to see the three of them not mad or complaining, but Aito felt she had to say something before Rokir got any bright ideas about what to do with the doll. After all, she would be the one blamed.

She stood up with her feet on the lowest bar of the fence, her hand on the nearby pole to


and stopped just short of the gates to turn around and look up at the caps. The castle looked larger-than-life from this angle, and with the sun shining on the towers and creating deep shadows in other places on the white stone it was enough to make Aito sigh and smile a little in spite of how bad she felt.

"They say that the castle is centuries old, older than just about everything else in this city. It certainly looks good for its age, doesn't it?"

Aito jumped nearly a foot and turned to see Kyrios standing nearby, his usual smile present.

"I did not mean to startle you, Aito," said Kyrios. "I was just taking a walk around the caps, and was surprised to see you here. I thought youmostly nomadic," Cain said. "Of course there aren't any in Rorin, and Farrhing is one of the few cities that openly welcomes the mailin in Tanil anymore."

"So where are they at? I didn't see any back there."

"Oh, they prefer to stay outside of cities and towns, for safety." Cain smiled and said, "It's always worth going out of the walls to visit the mailin camp though. Tomorrow we will have to come back to hear them play their music, and the dancing is also rather fun when there's a lot of people. You shouldn't miss a sight like that."

Aito, Sakina, Rokir, and Aegle, as one person, tried to imagine Cain dancing and not one succeeded.

Rokir shook his head and led the way down the alley. After a few


them could reply he took off running along the wall of the caps, toward the side gate they always used. Rokir followed right on his heels, having caught the sound earlier but not attaching importance to it until Cain said something about it.

As they neared the gate in the wall that marked their usual entrance into the caps, the shouting and clamoring that they heard grew louder until they saw a strange sight. The gate was standing open, which was odd enough in itself to make Cain slow down.

A good thing he did too, or else he would have been trampled as Nash, with a clatter of hooves and a vicious snort, darted through the gate and ran straight ahead. When she neared the corner she turned someans you lied when Rokir asked about him."

"Yes," said Gear's "Gamma." "I knew he was back in the city, even if he hadn't dropped by to see me, that boy. One look at that wolf and I knew he was a king's man, though I had no idea what to make of you. It's not to me to tell someone like that how to set their hands on my Dismas."

"Have you seen Dismas here?" Aito asked, hoping she didn't sound as desperate as she felt to hear some news of the two.

Gamma shook her head. "No, but don't you worry. My boy can take care of himself."

Gear looked up, indignant. "What about me?"

"Oh, I know Dismas keeps an eye on you too, even if you're just as hard-headed


where they were going. Cain, is Kato—"

"Working for him? ...Yes. I thought as much yesterday. That's why I wanted Aito to stay away while we went back."

"Because he's a seran, and she's a human." Aegle couldn't help a smile when he saw how much he had surprised Cain. "His Majesty told us. But how did you find out about Hezekiah?"

"I know him, and I saw his seran stone. It's fading, that's why he wanted a new one," Cain said as he pushed back the soaked blankets and stood up. "And that's why we need to find my little mouse, now."

"No need to state the obvious, come on," Aegle said, opening the door.

Cain took two steps toward the door and stumbled. He tried to catch himself by grabbing thehead felt like it was spinning and her breath caught in her throat so that she could not call out again. She wondered if it was the dust getting to her. Another hallway with several doors was here, but Aito did not have to wonder which way Cain went. Only one doorway was clear of the dust and other litter that cluttered the floor, and she could see a light on through the crack left by someone who had not shut the door all the way.

She started to open the door but stopped when she heard Cain talking in a low, menacing voice that did not sound like him, even at his angriest. The sound of that voice was enough to make Aito draw back her hand and


sped on until he looked to be over a hundred, yet the aging still did not stop. The seran's hair turned past gray to a sullen white, and his skin was like gray, crumbling ash. His bones looked to be little more than sticks, and his face—his bloodshot, staring eyes, his gaunt frame, his white, cracked lips—he looked as though he had passed through death itself and back.

Kato looked at the broken seran stone in the ring and then, thinking with a speed that would have surprised many who did not know him, ran over to Cain and yanked the pendant off of his neck and returned to his master's side.

The moment Hezekiah touched the stone his aging stopped and he was able to stop screaming, although hebreak completely, but before she could try again Hezekiah grabbed her hand and it was all she could do to hold onto the pendant. The stone burned in her hands but she did not dare to let it go as she pulled and tried to wrestle it away from the seran.

Somehow in the struggle Hezekiah turned her hands so that Aito now held the stone against her chest, his hands on top of hers. She cried out as the seran stone began the terrible process again, this time even worse than the first, but she could not pull it away.

The chaos going on in the rest of the room faded away and Aito's hands relaxed. She was barely aware of the action as memories flickered in her mind


thieves, both were here. I think both left together as soon as the fighting stopped," Kyrios said as they walked down the stairs. "I'm sorry, I told the soldiers not to bother them, but I did hope the gaillos would stay long enough to be treated for his injuries."

Cain did not say anything to that. It took most of his concentration to safely manage the rickety stairs with Aito sleeping in his arms, and he breathed easier once they were out of the tumble-down shack. To his surprise the festivities were still going strong out in the square. It was as if all that had happened back in the shack came from a different world than this place that was filled with so much music and general happiness.

Theand he knew my illusions well enough to see what she was. It was a foolish mistake on my part, as I knew that Hezekiah suspected the book's power. After all, he was the one who sealed my ability in it when I was a young student at Duna."

Dismas and Aegle both turned to stare at the seran. "What?"

***

Kyrios's story went something like this, as best as Aito could remember it:

There was once a boy. He was very lonely, because he was in a place where he did not belong, far from the family and friends that he knew. The only thing he had to remind him of home was a simple book, full of tales and legends.

As he grew more and more homesick, he took to carrying


it alone. Everything I tried on my own failed and that made me give the book up, but when I came across a seran stone years later as an adviser-general, I was sure that it would work. His Majesty found out about it, and we argued."

Cain closed his eyes and continued, "He wanted me to destroy the stone, but I couldn't. So I sent it away, to the same museum where the book was at as a donation."

"You're the reason the pendant was at the museum?" Dismas asked.

"More than that. Even with the stone out of sight my thoughts kept returning to Duna. I wanted more than anything to have that book back in my hands, I thought I could control the ability now that I was olderthey fell.

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

**Context.** Many areas of Machine Learning have thrived these recent years, nonetheless some domains such as the financial or medical sectors have developed at a slower pace, as they often handle very sensitive data. While some Machine Learning services could greatly benefit society, allowing sensitive information to transit from the client to the


of leaves, i.e. terminal nodes in the tree. Notice that if a binary decision tree has $K$ leaves, it has necessarily $K - 1$ internal nodes, which represent the comparisons.

Let $x \in X$ be an observation, $H = (H_1, ..., H_{K-1})$ be the collection of hyperplanes used in the construction of $T$. For $k \in [1 \dots K- 1]$ we have that $H_k = \{ x \in X : h_k(x) = 0  \}$, with $h_k(x) = x_{\tau(k)} - t_k$, $\tau : [1 \dots K- 1] \rightarrow [1 \dots D]$ where $\tau(k)$ is the index of the variable used in comparison $k$, and $t_k \in [0,1]$ is the threshold value of the comparison $k$. Therefore the first linear layer simply applies comparisons, and apply a non linearity $\phi(x)DNNs such as CryptoNet. Even though CryptoNet has good amortized performance when computing on a batch of 8192 samples, it still requires 570 seconds to process a batch on a PC with a single Intel Xeon E5-1620 CPU running at 3.5GHz,with 16GB of RAM using C++. This batching of several inputs suffers from several issues. First of all a user might not care about having her input batched with other inputs and would want the result as fast as possible. Secondly, in practice it is not possible to batch different users’ input once they have been encrypted by different public keys, and while it is possible to batch different users’ input before they have been encrypted, this assumes that the server saw the data in clear before batching,

to constrain the lateral growth of the oocyte, so that it extends along the anterior-posterior axis to give rise to the final elongated shape of the egg. As reported previously for the *Dg* deletion alleles ([@bib8]), *Dg^O^* mutant ovaries show a defect in the organization of the actin stress fibers ([Figure 2](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}F). The stress fibers are still properly assembled in mutant follicle cells, but they do not align along the dorsal-ventral axis, and they sometimes show a mixed orientation within a single cell. This function of *Dg* is cell autonomous, since heterozygous cells adjacent to a mutant clone adopt the normal stress fiber orientation ([Figures 2](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}G and 2H).

As the canonical link between Dg and the actin cytoskeleton is through the cytoplasmic protein Dys, we tested whether the latter wasthe lethality and sterility of *Dg^248^* and *Dg^323^* alleles are due to the deletion of *mRpL34*, we asked whether the latter gene could explain the polarity defects associated with these alleles. As previously reported, follicle cell clones mutant for *Dg^248^* exhibit a polarity phenotype. In these cells, cortical markers of the apical (aPKC) and lateral (Dlg) domains are no longer detected in most of the clones (70%, n = 20) ([Figure 3](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}C). One copy of the *mRpL34* transgene rescues this phenotype completely ([Figure 3](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}D). This result was surprising since it has been reported that expression of a Dg transgene also rescues the *Dg^248^* polarity phenotype ([@bib39]). We therefore reproduced this experiment and confirmed that Dg expression is sufficient to suppress the polarity defects associated with *Dg^248^* ([Figure 3](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}E). Thus, the apical-basal


strongly suggesting that the lack of rescue by phosphomimetic Sqh is not caused by its failure to interact with and activate the heavy chain. An alternative possibility is that loss of *Dg* disrupts Myosin activation and localization indirectly, perhaps by altering the arrangement of F-actin. Phosphomimetic Sqh does not rescue normal actin organization in starved *Dg* clones, demonstrating that this phenotype is not caused solely by the loss of Myosin activity, and this suggests that Dg plays a myosin-independent role in the polarized organization of the actin cytoskeleton. If Myosin II activation is regulated by its actin-dependent localization and/or its binding to actin, the failure to phosphorylate Sqh in *Dg* clones could be a secondary consequence of a polarity defect that disrupts the actin cytoskeleton.

LKB1 or AMPK activation,domain disrupts follicle cell polarity, whereas a construct that lacks the SH3 domain-binding site does not ([@bib39; @bib8]). Thus, it seems most likely that the binding of Pcan to Dg controls epithelial polarity under low-energy conditions by signaling through the SH3-binding domain, and it will be important to identify the SH3 protein responsible.

LKB1 is mutated in both familial and spontaneous tumors of epithelial origin, suggesting that disruption of the low-energy polarity pathway may play a role in tumor progression ([@bib1]). Most tumor cells undergo a metabolic switch, called the Warburg effect, in which they take up about five times more glucose than normal cells because they are generating ATP from glycolysis, which is much less efficient than oxidative phosphorylation ([@bib5]). Moreover, tumor cells often have reduced access to

Public hearings incoming

On April 5, the ICJ announced that it will hold public hearings in June, for two cases that Malaysia has brought against Singapore for the fate of Pedra Branca.

The first is Malaysia's application to revise the ICJ's 2008 judgment, which gave Singapore sovereignty of Pedra Branca. The hearings will begin on June 11 and last for four days.

The second is Malaysia's application for "interpretation" of that judgment. ICJ will also hold public hearings for this, on June 18 - 19 and June 21 - 22.

Q:

C main vs Java main

What is the difference between the C main function and the Java main function?
int main( int argc, const char* argv[] )

vs
public static void main(String [] args)

How do these main functions relate to each languages creation and what are the benefits or outcomes of each?

A:

They do the same thing -- they're both intended to be the entry point into your program.
The difference in the signatures is because Java supports arrays which 'know' what their length is, and C does not.  That's why you need argc, which is the count of the number of arguments passed.
In C, you return a success or failure code to the shell by using the return keyword, along with an integral value.  In Java, you do itconst char *ptr, const char *end,

A decade into their life of resistance, Dave was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The long list of daily chores became difficult to maneuver. The cow jumped the fence. The sheep ran away. The dog chased the chickens into the woods. They allowed their responsibilities to dwindle, eventually eating the cow. "It was part of the economy," Camille explained, a firmness still in her tone. Despite changes in physical comfort and energy, they were as true to their original intentions as they possibly could be.

Aside from her Pampers connection, Hudson is back in the studio recording new music for an upcoming album. She is currently searching for the right mix of producers and songwriters to help her craft a sound.

“Well, I would like to keep songwriters like Diane Warren,” she said. “She’s amazing. Salaam [Remi] and Harvey Mason, those three will probably stay just the same. But I do want to venture out and see what’s out there. I wouldn’t mind working with newcomers with a fresh vision and new creatives.”

He added it was unclear how the virus spreads. Coronaviruses are typically spread in the air but Hartl said scientists were considering the possibility that the patients were infected directly by animals. He said there was no evidence yet of any human-to-human transmission.

"All possible avenues of infection are being explored right now," he said.

No other countries have so far reported any similar cases to WHO, he said, and so far there is no connection between the cases except for a history of travel in Saudi Arabia.

Hartl said the first patient may have had an underlying condition but it probably didn't make him more susceptible to catching the virus.

Other experts said it was unclear how dangerous the virus is.

Drug stocks for measurement were prepared in methanol for HPLC (VWR) at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. A linear dilution was prepared in methanol and absorbance was measured at 276 nm using an Ultrasspec 2100 pro photometer (Amersham Biosciences, Little Chalfont, UK). Linearity was proven between 0.0015 mg/mL and 0.025 mg/mL thymol. EE% for thymol was calculated as (0.5 mg/mL−0.0041 mg/mL)/0.5 mg/mL = 0.9918 resulting in 99.18% EE. LC% was calculated as (0.5 mg/mL−0.0041 mg/mL)/(50 + 0.5) mg/mL= 0.01, which equals 1%.

2.7. Flow Cytometric Measurement of Cell Death {#sec2dot7-biomedicines-08-00105}
----------------------------------------------

For flow cytometric measurement of cell death, *S. aureus* or *E. coli* (*Escherichia coli* DH5-Alpha) were exposed to respective invasome-dispersions (0.5 mg/mL, 1 mg/mL, 2 mg/mL final


overnight, we determined the size of the inhibitory zones. Control invasomes without terpenoids did not result in growth inhibition of *S. aureus* ([Figure 7](#biomedicines-08-00105-f007){ref-type="fig"}A). Compared to unaffected control, we observed a clearly visible growth inhibition of *S. aureus* exposed to invasomes comprising thymol, camphor or cineol ([Figure 7](#biomedicines-08-00105-f007){ref-type="fig"}B,D,E). Interestingly, invasomes encapsulating menthol did not affect growth of *S. aureus* ([Figure 7](#biomedicines-08-00105-f007){ref-type="fig"}C). Statistical evaluation of the measured areas of inhibition validated a strong and significant inhibition of bacterial growth by thymol-containing invasomes compared to all other terpenoid-invasomes and control ([Figure 7](#biomedicines-08-00105-f007){ref-type="fig"}F). However, invasomes comprising camphor or cineol still caused a significant increase in the zone of inhibition compared to control and menthol-invasomes, which revealed no zone of inhibition ([Figure 7](#biomedicines-08-00105-f007){ref-type="fig"}F).

In [Table 1](#biomedicines-08-00105-t001){ref-type="table"}, the particle size of different terpenoid formulationsgrowth inhibition of *E. coli*, similarly to control-invasomes without encapsulated terpenoids ([Figure 10](#biomedicines-08-00105-f010){ref-type="fig"}A,B). While menthol-invasomes led to a slight growth inhibition of *E. coli* ([Figure 10](#biomedicines-08-00105-f010){ref-type="fig"}C)*,* invasomes encapsulating camphor showed no bactericidal activity against *E. coli* ([Figure 10](#biomedicines-08-00105-f010){ref-type="fig"}D). Notably, exposure of *E. coli* to invasomes loaded with cineol resulted in a strong and significant growth inhibition ([Figure 10](#biomedicines-08-00105-f010){ref-type="fig"}E,F).

We next determined the potential bactericidal activity of non-extruded terpenoids as a control to our encapsulation approach. In contrast to terpenoids encapsulated in invasomes ([Figure 7](#biomedicines-08-00105-f007){ref-type="fig"}, [Figure 8](#biomedicines-08-00105-f008){ref-type="fig"}, [Figure 9](#biomedicines-08-00105-f009){ref-type="fig"} and [Figure 10](#biomedicines-08-00105-f010){ref-type="fig"}), application of non-extruded terpenoids did not result in growth inhibition of *E. coli* or *S. aureus* (data not shown). In summary, the invasomes comprising thymol produced here are highly bactericidal to Gram-positive *S. aureus,* while cineol-invasomes affect the


its selective activity against *S. aureus* ([Figure 11](#biomedicines-08-00105-f011){ref-type="fig"}). In addition, electrophoretic mobility measurement revealed a harder surface of *E. coli* compared to *S. aureus* \[[@B39-biomedicines-08-00105]\]. The softer surface of *S. aureus* mainly comprising peptidoglycan may facilitate entry of thymol-invasomes into the bacterial cells more easily compared to Gram-negative *E. coli* ([Figure 11](#biomedicines-08-00105-f011){ref-type="fig"}). Accordingly, we achieved a highly efficient killing of *S. aureus* with only 0.5 mg/mL thymol encapsulated in invasomes in the present study ([Figure 11](#biomedicines-08-00105-f011){ref-type="fig"}).

In summary, we demonstrate the successful production of invasomes encapsulating thymol, menthol, camphor or cineol and show a strong selective activity of thymol-invasomes against Gram-positive *S. aureus*. As a further benefit of our approach, encapsulation of terpenoids into nanocarrier systems such as invasomes is suggested to increase stability and protect against environmental factorscausing degradation \[[@B2-biomedicines-08-00105],[@B33-biomedicines-08-00105],[@B40-biomedicines-08-00105]\]. Here, liposomes composed of lipoid S100 and cholesterol were reported to retain considerable concentrations of isoeugenol, pulegone, terpineol, and thymol liposomes even after 10 months \[[@B29-biomedicines-08-00105]\]. The application of soy lecithin liposomes comprising cinnamon oil was further shown to improve stability of the essential oil and extend the bactericidal action time \[[@B20-biomedicines-08-00105]\]. In addition, the application of invasomes was particularly found to elevate the stability of the encapsulated compounds (reviewed in \[[@B24-biomedicines-08-00105]\]).

There are several nanocarrier systems, encapsulating terpenoids, which are systematically reviewed in \[[@B2-biomedicines-08-00105]\]. The formulation systems encapsulating terpenoids include polymer-based systems such as nano-capsules, nano-particles, nano-fibers and nano-gels. Furthermore, lipid-based systems are frequently used (67% of the formulations), presumably due to the low toxicity. A subgroup of lipid systems are the vesicular systems, which

There was an explosion of bands like Bikini Kill, Heavens to Betsy, and Bratmobile. What the bands lacked in musical chops, they made up in passion. Most bands had only female members and the songs were about things like rape victimization and menstruation, stuff you were not going to hear Ozzy Osbourne singing about (although allied male groups, like Nirvana did take up the banner). They drew on influences like Patti Smith, Joan Jett and Yoko Ono and even the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. It was so exciting that something new was happening in music and it was coming from young women who were sick of being told that if


her house and be her own rebel girl. I’m glad I live in a time with people like Kathleen Hanna and Carrie Brownstein, of Sleater-Kinney (and Portlandia) and all the other strong young women who rocking out on their own terms. Sisters are doing it for themselves, and it sounds damn good.

Jot it down on a sticky note and then add it to your journal or idea box when you get home. I can’t tell you how many times I was saved by my collection of writing ideas in grad school when semester after semester, class after class, I had to come up with an essay or project. I perused my collection and was always able to find something that was a perfect fit.

Start Me Up

As you have probably ascertained by now, I am a big believer in creativity exercises for loosening up the individual. It’s probably my acting background showing through. Actors don’t always come to the stage ready to


came when AMD built the first native dual-core X2, which was essentially a pair of Athlon 64 execution cores and a single memory controller on a single die. Then AMD surgically removed the original DDR memory controller and replaced it with a DDR2 controller with the transition to socket AM2 in May of last year. But in the almost four year span since the launch of the initial Athlon 64 processors up until today, the technology employed in the processors was essentially the same.

September 10, 2007 is a big day for AMD, however. Today is the day AMD is officially taking the wraps of their native quad-core Barcelona-based Opteron processors. While the Barcelona core does still borrow heavily from their last-gen processors, it incorporates a number of enhancementsbe accessed by Core 3, for example), the L3 cache is shared among all the cores. Also new to Barcelona-based Opterons is a 128-bit wide memory controller that can be configured as dual independent 64-bit channels to allow for simultaneous read and write memory operations.

At present, the new AMD Opterons will be built in AMD’s Dresden, Germany facility using the company’s 65nm SOI (silicon on insulator) manufacturing process. Each Barcelona die is comprised of approximately 463M transistors (about 119M less than Intel’s quad-core Kentsfield) and is about 285mm2 in size.
