assumes how the measurement system works. For example, you may assume that the received power follows inverse squared law. Note, if either the source or the detector moves, then you have to model the  motion as part of (1) above. Probabilistically you can assume that the jerk (change in acceleration) is a zero mean random variable.
3) You have a probabilistic model in your measurement errors.
In your case, if you assume a stationary source and stationary detector, then you can assume nothing changes in the system. In this case Kalman filter reduces to least squares solution. So you just average the last $N$ measured values, or use some form auto regression. If $P$ is the measured power, and $\hat P$ is the filtered value, then a simple recursive- f = 0.

or so ago ovens having an automatic cleaning capability were developed. Some of these were of the self-cleaning type, which utilize a so-called pyrolytic cleaning process at an elevated temperature of as much as 900.degree. F. to burn off accumulated waste material following each use of the oven. Others were of the continuous cleaning type involving so-called catalytic cleaning at temperatures in the usual range of temperatures employed during cooking in an oven, as for example 325.degree. F. to 550.degree. F. In either of these automatic cleaning methods, food soil and residue are burned off the interior walls of the oven, and the walls are left clean.
Outdoor cooking with barbecue grills has grown steadily in popularity since about the end of World War II. The widespread use ofnumber of reasons for this. The single walled cavity used in outdoor barbecue grills has not provided much heat insulation. An outdoor grill is frequently unavoidably exposed to a considerable amount of wind. The grill is very often not well enough sealed to retain sufficient heat to sustain a cleaning cycle. Probably most important of all, no one has seemed aware of the importance of extremely careful control of the pattern of heat production, coupled with extremely careful control of a substantially uniform pattern of distribution of heat throughout the grill.
Specifically, it has not been understood prior to the present invention how to position either the gas burner, or the grate that in conventional gas barbecue grills supports pieces of refractory material above the burner, to achieve the


Field of the Invention
The present invention concerns a method and a magnetic resonance (MR) system in order to acquire MR data and in order to reconstruct an MR image by means of these MR data.
Description of the Prior Art
According to the prior art, it is known to use compressed sensing (compressed sampling) so as to undersample k-space (i.e. to acquire MR data by means of undersampling, and thus to not acquire (fill) all k-space points) and then, for example, to reconstruct an MR image based on the MR data using a compressed sensing reconstruction method. In this technique, k-space is thereby undersampled randomly (or in particular pseudorandomly), so the scanned k-space points or k-space lines have a uniform density or a density that is point-symmetrical relative to thek-space center.
In an acquisition of MR data using a turbo spin echo sequence or a SPACE sequence, multiple k-space lines are acquired in an echo train. A k-space line should be acquired at the k-space center at a predetermined echo time (time from the excitation pulse to the data acquisition) in order to achieve or generate the desired contrast in the MR image to be reconstructed.

I doubt it'll cut down much on people trafficking in children and unwilling women. Trafficking is organized crime—you think traffickers can't get stolen phones and credit cards? It may discourage minors from attempting to sell sex by themselves, which is good. But it's mainly a token concession to the moral-outrage types and an attempt to staunch the never-ending flow of bad press about Craigslist prostitution stings. Does it create more hoops for advertisers to jump through? Yes. But the hoops aren't many nor high, so it's no life-ruiner for most women who choose to do sex work.

vertices with $|{\mathcal{V}}| = N_v$, ${\mathcal{E}}$ a set of edges connecting pairs $(i,j)$ of vertices, and ${\mathbf{A}}$ is an adjacency matrix whose nonzero elements $a_{i,j}$ represent the weight of edges $(i,j) \in {\mathcal{E}}$. The diagonal degree matrix, denoted ${\mathbf{D}}$, associated to ${\mathbf{A}}$ is defined with elements $d_{i,i} = \sum_j a_{i,j}$.

The normalized Laplacian matrix of ${\mathcal{G}}$ can then be obtained as $ {\mathcal{L}}= \mathbf{I} - {\mathbf{D}}^{-1/2} {\mathbf{A}}{\mathbf{D}}^{-1/2}$. As ${\mathcal{L}}$ is a real symmetric matrix, it can be diagonalized, resulting in a set of $N_v$ real non-negative eigenvalues which define the graph spectrum $\mathbf{\Lambda}$, i.e., $ \mathbf{\Lambda} = \{0=\lambda_1 \leq \lambda_2 \ldots \leq \lambda_{N_v} {\stackrel{\text{def}}{=}}\lambda_{\text{max}} \leq 2 \}$. The associated eigenvectors, denoted $\{ \boldsymbol{\chi}_l \}_{l=1}^{N_v}$, form an orthonormal basis spanning the $\ell^2({\mathcal{G}})$ space.

See generally 5 C.F.R. §§ 315.801-.07.  The termination procedures required by the regulations are set out in the margin.1  We invite attention to the fact that the required procedures differ significantly, depending on the reasons for the probationer's termination.  Those terminated for "conditions arising before appointment" are entitled to significantly greater procedural protection than are those terminated for "unsatisfactory performance or conduct" during the probationary period.  Compare, § 315.805 1 with § 315.804.1 Moreover, the former may appeal administratively on the ground that their termination was not effected in accordance with the procedural requirements of the regulations; the


ever bring a damages action directly under the Fifth Amendment, or whether, if so, Beeson's action should be barred because of his apparent failure to exhaust his administrative remedies.  The exhaustion issue had, however, been raised in defendants' answer to the complaint.  We note that in the recent case of Bishop v. Tice, 622 F.2d 349, 354-58 (8th Cir. 1980) this Court has held that an improperly discharged civil service employee, who had a property interest in his continued employment, may recover damages for the deprivation of his property without due process of law directly under the Fifth Amendment, notwithstanding his failure to exhaust his administrative remedies, if he alleges and proves that the defendants, besides improperly terminating him, also blocked or interfered with his accessprocedures mandated by § 315.805 raise a probationer's interest in his continued employment to the level of a property interest cognizable under the Fifth Amendment, at least to the extent of permitting in a proper case the recovery of damages under the Fifth Amendment for a discharge that should have been but was not processed in accordance with § 315.805.
We are by no means certain that the district court correctly decided this constitutional question.6  We recognize, of course, that a probationary civil service employee has in general only the weakest of "claims of entitlement" to his continued employment.  The fact is that he can be dismissed at the virtually unreviewable discretion of his employing agency for unsatisfactory performance or conduct during the probationary period; it is,

By this settled canon of constitutional adjudication, the constitutional issue in this case should have been reached only if, after decision of two non-constitutional questions, decision was compelled.  We therefore remand the case to the district court for the decision of these two questions.  Cf. Clay v. Sun Insurance Co., 363 U.S. 207, 80 S.Ct. 1222, 4 L.Ed.2d 1170 (1960).  The district court should determine, after receiving further evidence if necessary, whether Beeson voluntarily resigned or was constructively discharged.  If he was constructively discharged, the court should determine whether his access to his administrative remedies was blocked or interfered with by defendants in suchis offered.

When buying, closing costs will be determined by a variety of factors, but typically will run you somewhere between 2 percent and 5 percent of the purchase price. Buyers will often ask sellers to cover some, or a portion, of the closing costs upfront or request a closing credit to make specific repairs or updates to the home.

Did walking through the house really wow you, partly because of the way the seller has the home decorated? Buyers will frequently negotiate keeping couches, dining room sets, outside furniture, fixtures, appliances, landscaping tools, and other items as part of the home purchase - saving them from having to purchase these things after closing.

Often, sellers will agree to make the overall package of the house more attractive to the buyer,


Rat alpha-crystallin A chain with an insertion of 22 residues.
Rat lens alpha-crystallin contains, besides the usual alphaA and alphaB subunits, an additional minor chain. This subunit was purified by ion-exchange chromatography and its primary structure studied. It appeared to be an elongated alphaA-like chain, having an insertion of 22 residues between position 63 and 64 of an otherwise normal alphaA2 chain. Therefore this subunit was called alphaAIns, i.e. an alphaA chain with an inserted sequence. This inserted region, which contains three methionyl, five basic and no acidic residues, apparently results in an adequately functioning alphaAIns chain. The alphaAIns chain may be the product of a gene which has originated, after duplication of the alphaA gene, by insertion in one of the copies of a stretch of 66 nucleotidesDouble Volume Caps in MiFID II: What are the effects?

By Christer Wennerberg | 30 November 2015

One of the most controversial sections of MiFID II concerns equity market transparency, the so-called Double Volume Caps (DVC) on dark pool trading. The Double Volume Caps aim to limit trading in non-displayed liquidity (i.e. dark pools) by introducing a cap on the use of two transparency waivers, the Negotiated Trade Waiver (NTW) and the Reference Price Waiver (RPW) as follows:

A venue cap of 4% and a global cap of 8% on usage of the Negotiated Trade Waiver (NTW) and the

Reference Price Waiver (RPW).

Only NTW trades, in stocks categorised as “Liquid”, will be subject to the cap calculation.

The DVC is not the only limitation that affects dark pool trading. Others include:

pay parity.

Keep talking numbers

At the start of the new year, some stunning figures brought Hollywood's pay problem into clear focus.

USA Today reported Tuesday that Mark Wahlberg was paid $1.5 million to reshoot his scenes in "All the Money in the World," while co-star Michelle Williams received a per diem of $80 per day, totaling less than $1,000.

The backlash was swift, with Williams drawing support from fellow actresses like Sophia Bush, Amber Tamblyn and Jessica Chastain.

Five days later, Wahlberg announced he was donating his reshoot earnings to the Time's Up legal defense fund.

"If we truly envision an equal world, it takes equal effort and sacrifice," Williams' statement read in part, following the announcement of her co-star's donation in her name.

With a clearer view of how stark the problem is,dissipate substantial amounts of power. To enable testing (commonly called probing) ECL chips while still in wafer form, pulsed power testing is often used. The die site is probed, and power is supplied only for a fraction of a second. At 30 watts/cm.sup.2 power dissipation, which is typical for ECL, the temperature of an isolated die rises at 300.degree. C. per second. In reality, there is some heat sinking to adjacent silicon and to the wafer chuck of a probing station, so short tests can be run without burning up the chip.
Advanced ECL microprocessor chips now under development will have a much higher watt density of almost 100 watts/cm.sup.2. Such microprocessor chips also have a clocking scheme that would complicate designing the chip for pulsed power testing. Tester

Retailers and merchants are generally interested in finding better ways to present real-time proximate marketing to customers. In order to achieve this goal, a retailer may install a system to identify a customer and understand when the customer is near an appropriate area to present marketing offers. For example, if a retailer can detect when a customer is near an “end-cap” of a product aisle (i.e., the end of an aisle where special product promotions may be offered and/or displayed), the retailer may display a marketing message to that customer that is proximally relevant. Additionally, if a retailer can accurately—and in near real-time—identify a customer who is next to a proximal marketing area (e.g., end-cap), the retail store can tailor the offer to that specific customer. For example,Q:

How to hide or remove options from jQuery Chosen select dropdown

I would like to hide certain elements from a dropdown that is created using the Chosen plugin.
I have tried removing it:
$( 'option:contains("Swatch 1")').remove().trigger("chosen:updated");

and just hiding it:
$( '.chosen-results li:contains("Swatch 1")').css('display,'none');
But neither works.
See Colours dropdown: http://www.carolineelisa.com/test/wordpress/product/machine/
Any help appreciated :)

A:

In the original select you need to hide the option.  For example:
$('select.chosen-select options:contains("Swatch 1")');

Then update the chosen options with:
$('select.chosen-select').trigger("chosen:updated");

If you have more than one chosen drop down on the page then it probably would be better to use a more specific id or class on that element in the place of $('select.chosen-select').  So your code would become:
$('#swatch_select options:contains("Swatch 1")');
$('#swatch_select').trigger("chosen:updated");


The long-term goal of this project is to design and evaluate practical image enhancement methods that would enable people with impaired vision, particularly those with central field loss due to age-related macular disease, to enjoy and benefit from the spread of video technology. Towards this goal, we are developing enhancement methods and investigating factors affecting patient performance with, and the appearance of, enhanced images. Our work is guided by our evolving vision model of contrast perception that we (and others) use in developing, testing, and refining image enhancement techniques. We believe that a basic understanding of contrast and image perception is essential for progress in this area, and that our clinical and basic research efforts usefully interact with each other in ways that benefit both.

In a footnote on p. 31, he describes Rav Dessler's "anti-science position" as follows:

Rav Dessler’s book, Mikhtav me-Eliyahu, whose impact on the yeshiva world in recent years has been enormous, represents a radical departure from the Talmudic position (Hullin 105a, Niddah 70b), as well as the medieval philosophic tradition (Rambam, Moreh Nevuchim, 3:17), in its denial of the reality of natural law and the cause—and—effect nexus of human initiative (Mikhtav, I, pp. 177-206). For Rav Dessler, the study of the sciences - even medicine, for that matter - is pointless, since the exclusive determinate of human welfare is the providential hand of God responding to religious virtue.

For Rav Dessler, the “natural agency” of medical treatment (III, p. 172), which, admittedly, those of low—faith level must necessarily pursue, is not an effect of natural law as Ramban recognizes it, but, once again, a deceptive expression at every moment of the spontaneous Divine will (see his own reference [ad loc., p. 173] to his basic definition of “nature” in I, pp. 177-206).

Rambam, of course - in contrast even with Ramban - rejects as patently absurd the notion that faith healing, a disregard for nature, could ever prevail as the will of God (see his Commentary to Mishnah, Pesachim 4:10).

Is his understanding of Rav Dessler's position correct?Eric Lawee has a superb article on this topic entitled “Words Unfitly Spoken: Late Medieval Criticism of the Role of Midrash in Rashi's Commentary on the Torah,” in Between Rashi and Maimonides: Themes in Medieval Jewish Law, Thought and Culture, ed. Ephraim Kanarfogel. Here is an extract regarding Ibn Ezra (see the original for sources and extensive footnotes):

In one of his grammatical tomes, Ibn Ezra affirmed the ancient sages’ keen awareness of the distinction between peshat and derash and implied their preference for the former (their preoccupation with the latter notwithstanding). He then lamented the abandonment of scripture’s contextual sense by “subsequent generations” who made “each derash primary and paramount.” Nowhere was this regrettable trend more obvious than in the figure of “R. Solomon [Rashi], who explained the


article writes about how brain-dead people have "more in common biologically with a living person than with a person whose heart has stopped. Your vital organs will function, you'll maintain your body temperature, and your wounds will continue to heal. You can still get bedsores, have heart attacks and get fever from infections." It talks about how they "react to the scalpel like inadequately anesthetized live patients, exhibiting high blood pressure and sometimes soaring heart rates."

This is all entirely true. It is also entirely irrelevant.

Physiological processes do not always denote life, and reactions are not the same as feelings. The detached tail of a gecko can move around with complicated motion and respond to an external stimulus, but clearly the gecko does not feel anything. Even a properlyguidelines demonstrate that we can disagree and do so in a legitimate and respectful way.

Looking at it from the other side, chareidi deligitimization of modern orthodoxy and modern orthodoxy's acceptance of chareidi Judaism as a legitimate expression of Torah life makes sense. Since the chareidim disagree with the MO, the MO have no legitimacy. The MO by contrast can disagree with the chareidi way of life without negating the normative legitimacy of that hashkafa.

Here are some further thoughts of my own:

First, the Rishonim freely argued with Chazal on matters unrelated to law. For a list of examples, see Rabbi Chaim Friedlander, Sifsei Chaim - Pirkei Emunah u-Bechirah, vol. 2 pp. 257-272. For example, the Midrash (Bereishis Rabbah 89:11) and Tosefta (Sotah 10:9) state that the famine in Egypt


ended five years early when Jacob entered the land. But Ramban (Genesis 47:18) disputes this and writes that the famine lasted for seven full years. See too Ibn Ezra in his introduction to his commentary on the Torah, where he writes that one may offer alternate interpretations to those of the Sages in cases unrelated to law. If the Rishonim can differ from the views of Chazal in such matters, why can we not differ from the views of the Rishonim?

Second, Rabbi Gold apparently understands yeridas hadoros to mean that earlier generations are actually more intelligent than later generations (something discussed in a post from a long time ago, including a debate as to whether people today really believe that - clearly, at least some people do). DoesMarch 7, 2012

I must admit that I was very surprised at the extent and nature of the negative feedback on J. Remus Bloch's article on Hominid-Lupine Transmogrification (which I have since taken down). In some cases, people had not read Rabbi Bleich's article, and did not realize that the exact same phrases were used. In some cases it can be attributed to people being the disciples of Rabbi Bleich, or to their drawing their personal self-esteem from the institutions that Rabbi Bleich represents. But in other cases it is apparently their objective judgment that such a satire is wrong.

To my further surprise, I discovered that the negative reception was not so much due to the two or three phrases that I added in to the article (which I


since I never made any such claim, and there is no equivalence whatsoever to spontaneous generation. But werewolves are perfectly analogous.

It's true that belief in werewolves is generally considered to be more ridiculous than belief in spontaneous generation. But that's only because werewolves are the subject of B-movies and teen fiction, whereas spontaneous generation is discussed in an academic context. A primary point of the J. Remus Bloch article was to demonstrate that there is nothing inherently more ridiculous either in positing the existence of werewolves, or in claiming that the Rishonim did not really believe in them. If anything, werewolves are less refuted by modern biology than is spontaneous generation. And belief in werewolves in antiquity was almost as widespread as belief in spontaneous generation.

In fact, Iwas considering removing any humorous aspects, and submitting such an article on werewolves to Tradition - claiming that there is no scientific reason to reject their existence, and that the Rishonim never believed in them anyway. And dressing it up in lots of high-falutin' terminology. And plenty of condescension to those who would disagree. What would be the grounds for rejecting such an article, if Rabbi Bleich's article on spontaneous generation was printed?

(For further reading, I highly recommend Darren Oldridge, Strange Histories, in which there is a chapter about the medieval belief in werewolves.)

of this for other areas of halachah.)

Rabbi Bleich concludes his article with an extremely revealing citation, from Maharal in Be'er HaGolah, where Maharal says that even if one does not accept his explanation of difficult passages in Chazal, one should not ascribe any defect to the words of the Sages. This is incredibly ironic, since Maharal's approach suffers from exactly the same drawbacks as Rabbi Bleich's article. In my monograph on The Sun's Path At Night, I showed how all the Geonim and Rishonim, bar none, understood the Gemara in Pesachim 94b according to its plain meaning, that Chazal believed the sun to travel behind the sky at night. Maharal, however, insists that Chazal were most definitively not talking about any such thing, due to his 16th centurythey're little "PC Lites" complete with browsers, bugs, defects, media and all the other stupid bullshit I used to hate dealing with on my PC.

Mon fils a moi is a French 2006 film directed by Martial Fougeron. The film is about an unbalanced mother (Nathalie Baye) bullying her 12-year-old son Julien (Victor Sevaux).

Plot
The mother intercepts and destroys letters from Julien's girlfriend and does not allow him to see her. He is not allowed to wear clothing he gets from his grandmother or buys with his own money. She rejects angrily a gift from the boy. She enters the bathroom while he is naked, when he covers his genitals she demands that he exposes them. She asks him to lie to his soccer trainer about why he can't come to a training session, in order that she and the boy can be together. Also she does not tell him about             Průtokoměry

Different people have different natural modes for their speech, and not many people can pull it off just the way Clinton does. But Clinton reminds us of the value (and rarity) of this tone in politics -- and the next time you listen to a sports-talkshe might die during the Last Battle (Towers of Midnight, Chapter 51, "A Testing"), or at least before producing an heir (Path of Daggers, Prologue). Because of this, Davram Bashere will succeed her to the throne of Saldaea. And, as there's foreshadowing that Bashere will die during the Last Battle (Crossroads of Twilight, Chapter 24, "A Strengthening Storm"), his heir, Faile, will inherit. Saldaea might be a nation in which an outlander married to the ruler becomes equal—that is, Faile would be Queen, but Perrin could be King—so Perrin would be the wearer of the Broken Crown.

If Tenobia and Bashere die during the Last Battle, Perrin must survive it in order to receive the Broken Crown. I doubt he would be considered the King of Saldaea the exact


let's discuss Faile. I think most of the same arguments hold for her as for Perrin, especially the part about him fathering a child. But she will also need to be alive for him to take the Broken Crown. I think they'll have to be crowned together. However, this might be a point against her surviving. Perhaps that is why Perrin has the Broken Crown, not because they are equal rulers, but because Faile has died, leaving him to rule Saldaea alone. There is the chance that simply being her husband gives him the right even if she dies, too.

Another point for her survival: I don't think Faile will be doing much fighting during the Last Battle. Perrin has finally learned Saldaean ways, and he's become more comfortableof it""To her eyes a crown suddenly appeared on Darlin's head"

On the other hand, in TEOTW she mentioned the laurel crown as one of the images around Rand, not describing it on his head. But it was in a laundry list of images the first time they met, so its hard to say if she was being literal or just talking in passing. They werent diagnosis her visions as she later would in conversations.

I don't know anything about rulers, so I can't say anything based on fact. But many parts of this story were inspired by real life, so Robert Jordan may have based all the nations on real courtly traditions.

What about Mat? He is a commoner and has become the Prince of Ravens. According to Fortuona's thoughts, Mat could potentially want to assassinate her to ascend to the throne. Which means a spouse has the ability to reign. And Elayne granted Perrin titles and stewardship, above even other Andoran Lords. Which means he is not a commoner anymore. So the possibility of Perrin wearing the Broken Crown and being King is there.eighteen years old, please have Your parents or guardian sign the Agreement.

Now, the T-X training jet and UH-1N Huey helicopter replacement program — both also in source selection — stand alone as the service’s major aircraft modernization opportunities. Boeing and Lockheed are competing in both contests.

Of the three primes, Northrop, the prime contractor on the legacy E-8C JSTARS, is the most hurt by the program’s cancellation.

The company dropped out of the T-X competition last year and does not manufacture helicopters. It also had won a battle against Raytheon to produce the radar for the JSTARS recap program, which would have given it a win even if it had not nabbed the EMD contract.

Boeing also had high hopes for its JSTARS recap bid, envisioning its 737-based offering as the start of a line ofWe work in a quarterly mission structure at GOV.UK. That means that every three months, we take stock of what we’ve been doing and where we’ve got to, taking the opportunity to set new objectives too. But given that it’s hard to make product work fit neatly inside 12-week windows, it’s important to plot your position on your roadmap accurately.

Here’s how I frame what we’ve achieved so far, what’s left to do and what’s next with product teams I manage at GOV.UK, the UK government’s website.

Going over the last quarter

It’s good to summarise everything the team has already achieved; people feel better about their work when they realise it’s working towards something. An easy way to recap recent achievements is to play back the objectives and key results


from last quarter and the team’s progress against those.

Remind the team of your previous objective and the pieces of work that contributed to achieving that. Then list out what’s remaining to be done. What’s left to do to reach this milestone we were set? For example, you may need to collect some data, run a test, build a thing or achieve an outcome.

An objective isn’t complete until either the key results have been achieved or you’ve modified them based on what you’ve learned. (And it’s OK to adapt key results to be more realistic throughout the quarter, that’s what lean and agile product development is geared towards!)

Quarterly cycles provide useful checkpoints to remind yourselves where you’ve got to, how it’s contributing to achieving your product strategy, and what’sthe audience sees different versions of an event.

---------------------------

The preparative path devised for making ordered arrays of electrically contacted silicon nanotubes is presented in [Fig. 2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}. In the first step (a), a double anodization (electrochemical oxidation of aluminum in a protic solution) is carried out under 40 V in oxalic acid at 7 °C according to the standard procedure \[[@R11]\]: after the first anodization, the disordered porous aluminum oxide layer obtained is removed in chromic acid, then the ordered porous layer is obtained by a second anodization in the same conditions. The length of the pores is defined by the duration of this second anodization. Subsequently (b), the diameter of the pores is increased from its initial value of 40 nm to approximately 60 nm by an isotropic wet chemical etching in warm phosphoricmaximal depth of the deposit could be increased by larger pore diameters and/or optimized experimental conditions \[[@R19]--[@R20]\]. The uncoated depth of the aluminium oxide matrix remains chemically and electrochemically inert, and thus functions as the membrane separator that is always placed between both electrodes of batteries. Thus here, the separator and negative electrode are combined into a single unit.

Indians build bridge to dominance

After restricting England to 198, Indian batsmen pile on runs after runs on Day 2 of the second Test, reports Rohit Mahajan.

The first ball after tea on the second day of the second Test, Monty Panesar struck — trying to flick the ball, Dinesh Karthik edged it to his pad. Alastair Cook, at short leg, dived a full body length to his left and caught the ball. Panesar ran amok, and Karthik refused to budge, stunned by the suddenness of his end, but had to walk.

That brought in Sachin Tendulkar to join Rahul Dravid — both were on zero, for Wasim Jaffer had departed just minutes before tea. The pitch had seemed docile, the bowlers innocuous till they sent the openers back, though Panesaralways, was more aggressive at the start, while Jaffer scored his first run off the 11th ball he faced. By then, Karthik had raced to 15.

The openers completed their second half-centuries and England's troubles increased.

Sidebottom, in altered conditions, was a different bowler altogether — there was no serious appeal against the Indians the whole morning. Anderson was ineffective for the most, and though the ball beat the bat several times, there were no real chances.

There was a chance off Chris Tremlett when Jaffer drove him to the left of Ian Bell at gully — Bell flew to his left and got his hand to the ball but it spilled out.

In the morning, Sidebottom had remained unbeaten on 18 as Anil Kumble picked up two of the last three

Depreciation is a reasonable allowance for wear and tear on property used in a trade or business or for the production of income. Property is depreciable if it has a useful life greater than one year and depreciates in value. Property that appreciates in value may also depreciate if subject to wear and tear. Depreciation ends in the tax year that the asset is retired from service (by sale, exchange, abandonment or destruction) or that the asset is fully depreciated.

Assets with useful lives of one year or less can be deducted as current expenses in the year of their costs. Depreciation cannot be claimed on an asset that is acquired and disposed of in the same year.

The backup withholding rate is equal to the fourth lowest income tax rate under the income tax rate brackets for unmarried individuals, which is currently 28 percent.

Only reportable payments are subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not required if the payee is a tax-exempt, governmental, or international organization. Similarly, payments of interest made to foreign persons are generally not subject to information reporting; therefore, these payees are not subject to backup withholding. Additionally, a payor is not required to backup withhold on reportable payments for which there is documentary evidence, under the rules on interest payments, that the

What your return says is key

If it's not the time of filing, what really increases your audit potential? The information on your return, your income bracket and profession--not when you file--are the most significant factors that increase your chances of being audited. The higher your income the more attractive your return becomes to the IRS. And if you're self-employed and/or work in a profession that generates mostly cash income, you are also more likely to draw IRS attention.

Further, you may pique the IRS's interest and trigger an audit if:

You claim a large amount of itemized deductions or an unusually large amount of deductions or losses in relation to your income;

You have questionable business deductions;

You are a higher-income taxpayer;

You claim tax sheltercredit.

In counting FTEs, the employer should not include owners and family members. Seasonal employees are not counted unless they work at least 120 days during the year. In determining average annual wages, employers must count all wages, bonuses, commissions or other compensation, including sick leave and vacation leave.

Applicable years

The credit took effect in 2010. It did not expire at the end of 2010 but can be claimed from year to year. The credit applies at the 35/25 percent levels for four years, through 2013. After 2013, the maximum credit increases to 50 percent for for-profit employers and 35 percent for tax-exempt employers, but only for two years. Thus, the credit can be claimed every year for the six years from 2010 and 2015. The credit is recalculated every


as a deduction. Substantiation is required for business gifts, as well as traveling, lodging and entertainment expenses, because they are considered more susceptible to abuse (Tax Code Sec. 274(d)).

For business gifts, IRS regulations require that taxpayers substantiate the following elements of the gift:

- Amount (the cost to the taxpayer);- Time (the date of the gift);- Description of the gift;- Business purpose - the business reason for the gift, or the nature of the business benefit derived or expected to be derived as a result of the gift; and- Business relationship - occupation or other information relating to the recipient, including name, title and other designation, sufficient to establish the business relationship to the taxpayer.

The IRS provides substantiation rules in Treasury Reg. 1.274-5T(c). The taxpayer must maintain and produce,may provide a voltage that is unnecessarily high at a first temperature point due to the necessity of ensuring specifications are met at a second temperature point, even though the semiconductor device rarely operates at the second temperature point. This can cause power to be wasted at the first temperature point, which is where the semiconductor device typically operates.
A specific example is an internal refresh operation in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM). At a low temperature, charge on a DRAM capacitor in a DRAM memory cell may degrade more slowly than at high temperature.

Follow up reports

Over the lunchtime breaks at the High School interested pupils from years 1 & 2 have been joining me to catalogue the evidence that the year 3 pupils collected with me on the beaches around Ullapool. The survey information has been summarised on the evidence sheets for each 10m section along the 100m Morefield Beach survey transect and samples have been photographed.

More detailed quadrat information collected along the West Shore beach provides a very different picture as to what has been found and who might be responsible.

Passersby to the Incident board in the foyer of the school are now offering up suggestions as to the origins of the litter.


husband Michael and her parents, Bill and Claire Trommershausen.  Ann and her parents had owned half-Arabians when they lived in Colorado; Michael Bowling had owned Arabians since 1962.  They started the farm in September 1980, about the same time that Ann and Michael married, and placed an emphasis on bloodlines descended from the Crabbet Arabian Stud. The farm continued to be operated by her husband and daughter after Bowling's death.  Bowling's study of mitochondrial DNA in Arabians found that pedigree records kept by the American registry for Arabian horses were generally reliable from the time of importation forward.  But her work also brought into question a belief commonly held by Arabian breeders that horses imported from the desert identified by specific historic dam linesand IRAS observations, for the analysis further convolved to 5$\arcmin$, means that the catalogue contains a heterogeneous sample of objects from gravitationally bound cloud cores in nearby clouds to entire clouds at kiloparsec distances. We use the term clump to refer to both the observed and simulated PGCC sources, irrespective of their physical size. The detection algorithm and its parameters have their own impact on the contents of the catalogue; they set preference on sources that are close to the beam size and have the largest temperature contrast relative to their immediate environment (as seen in projection via the colour temperature). This also contributes to the fact that PGCC contains different types of sources at different distances.

It is important to note that PGCC sources have been the target


radiation field intensity and to investigate the effects that the resulting variations of the background temperature have on clump extraction. After all, according to Fig. \[fig:377\_x\_231\]h, one of the main differences compared to the PGCC catalogue is the uniformity of the colour temperature in the clump background. One hundred point sources were added to each of the four selected snapshots (377, 406, 444, and 528). The positions of the sources were selected randomly with uniform probability over the model volume. The sources were described as $T=$20000K black bodies, with luminosities sampled from a normal distribution $N$(1000$L_{\sun}$, 300$L_{\sun}$). The luminosities are high enough to increase even the long-wavelength surface brightness by tens of per cent over projected distances of the order of 10pc. Figure  \[fig:plot\_star\_Tmap\] shows the changes in dustto get direct constraints on the dust opacity [@Martin2011; @Roy2013; @GCC-V].

For models $L$ with longer LOS, the background intensities are naturally higher. However, also the clump flux densities are strongly correlated with the LOS length (Fig. \[fig:plot\_mod\]a). This is due to the higher column densities and partly due to the increased size of the extracted clumps. In the case of $L=3-4$, the flux densities are comparable to the PGCC values. With the Planck 353GHz optical depth map at 1$\degr$ resolution and the assumption of dust opacity $\tau(353\,{\rm GHz})=6\times 10^{-27}\,N_{\rm H}$ [@Planck2014A-XI-allsky], we estimate that the median column density at the PGCC source positions is $N({\rm H})=8.3\times
10^{21}\,{\rm cm}^{-2}$ ($N({\rm H})=6.9\times 10^{21}\,{\rm cm}^{-2}$ for the FLUX\_QUALITY=1 sub-sample). This is more than twice the column density of our default model and thus

DEMON WITH MATTED HAIR


When it was full, the prince
cried out, "Stop, bowl," and the bowl stopped filling. "See, aunty,"
he said, "with this bowl I can always get as much water as I want."

By this time night had come. "Aunty," said the Raja's son, "why don't
you light a lamp?"

"There is no need," she said. "Our king has forbidden the people in
his country to light any lamps; for, as soon as it is dark, his
daughter, the Princess Labam, comes and sits on her roof, and she
shines so that she lights up all the country and our houses, and we
can see to do our work as if it were day."

When it was quite black night the princess got up. She dressed herself
in her rich clothes and jewels, and rolled up her hair, and acrosspalace exactly like the one in which the seven Queens had
lived, and in which the white witch now dwelt in splendour. Then, when
all was prepared, she bade her husband give a grand feast to the King.
Now the King had heard much of the mysterious son of seven Queens, and
his marvellous wealth, so he gladly accepted the invitation; but what
was his astonishment when on entering the palace he found it was a
facsimile of his own in every particular! And when his host, richly
attired, led him straight to the private hall, where on royal thrones
sat the seven Queens, dressed as he had last seen them, he was
speechless with surprise, until the Princess, coming forward, threw
herself at his feet, and told him the whole story. Then the King awoke
from his enchantment,


the bones lying about, and fashioned them into
dice, and these he put into his pocket. Then, bidding adieu to the
headless corpse, he went on his way to play chaupur with the King.

Now, as Raja Rasalu, tender-hearted and strong, journeyed along to
play chaupur with the King, he came to a burning forest, and a voice
rose from the fire saying, "Oh, traveller! for God's sake save me from
the fire!"

Then the Prince turned towards the burning forest, and, lo! the voice
was the voice of a tiny cricket. Nevertheless, Rasalu, tender-hearted
and strong, snatched it from the fire and set it at liberty. Then the
little creature, full of gratitude, pulled out one of its feelers, and
giving it to its preserver, said, "Keep this, and should you ever be
in trouble, put it into thehe called boldly to Raja
Sarkap, "Leave my horse and arms here for the present. Time enough to
take them away when you have won my head!"

Now, Raja Sarkap, seeing Rasalu's confident bearing, began to be
afraid, and ordered all the women of his palace to come forth in their
gayest attire and stand before Rasalu, so as to distract his attention
from the game. But he never even looked at them, and drawing the dice
from his pocket, said to Sarkap, "We have played with your dice all
this time; now we will play with mine."

Then the kitten went and sat at the window through which the rat Dhol
Raja used to come, and the game began.

After a while, Sarkap, seeing Raja Rasalu was winning, called to his
rat, but when Dhol Raja saw the kitten


he thought, "She does not really want me; she is only trying to
see if I will go to her."

Meanwhile the four other Queens came to her, and they said, "Here it
is the custom before a child is born to bind its mother's eyes with a
handkerchief that she may not see it just at first. So let us bind
your eyes." She answered, "Very well, bind my eyes." The four wives
then tied a handkerchief over them.

Soon after, the gardener's daughter had a beautiful little son, with a
moon on his forehead and a star on his chin, and before the poor
mother had seen him, the four wicked Queens took the boy to the nurse
and said to her, "Now you must not let this child make the least sound
for fear his mother(_Fables of Bidpai_, London, D. Nutt,
"Bibliotheque de Carabas," 1888). In this I give a genealogical table
of the various versions, from which I calculate that the tales have
been translated into thirty-eight languages in 112 different versions,
twenty different ones in English alone. Their influence on European
folk-tales has been very great: it is probable that nearly one-tenth
of these can be traced to the Bidpai literature. (See Notes v. ix. x.
xiii. xv.)

Other collections of a similar character, arranged in a frame, and
derived ultimately from Buddhistic sources, also reached Europe and
formed popular reading in the Middle Ages. Among these may be
mentioned THE TALES OF SINDIBAD, known to Europe as _The Seven Sages
of Rome:_ from this we get the Gellert story (_cf. Celtic Fairy
Tales_), though it also occurs in the Bidpai. Another popular
collection was


up his wealth to his
children in his own lifetime deserves to be put to death with the
mallet. Mr. Gomme gives evidence that it was an archaic custom to put
oldsters to death after they had become helpless. He also points out
that it was customary for estates to be divided and surrendered during
the owners' lifetime, and generally he connects a good deal of
primitive custom with our story. I have already pointed out in
_Folk-Lore_, p. 403, that the existence of the tale in Kashmir without
any reference to the mallet makes it impossible for the rhymes on the
mallet to be the source of the story. As a matter of fact, it is a
very embarrassing addition to it, since the rhyme tells against the
parent, and the story is intended to tell against thethe wind bubble around the progenitor system and the subsequent evolution of the SNR. We perform the simulation in two steps. First we introduce the stellar wind in the axis origin of the grid in the form of a continuous inflow. The anisotropy of the wind is described by the following equations:

$$\label{eq:u_theta}
u_{w}(\theta)= u_{w, p} \left[1 - \alpha \mid \sin \theta \ \mid ^{k}  \right]~;~~ \rho(\theta)= \frac {\dot{M}_{p} \left[1 - \beta \mid \sin \theta \ \mid ^{k}  \right]^{-1}} {4 \pi r^2 u_{w}(\theta)}$$

\
where $\rho(\theta)$, $u_{w}(\theta)$ the wind density profile and the wind terminal velocity at the polar angle $\theta$, respectively. $u_{w, p}$ is the wind terminal velocity and $\dot{M}_{p}$ the mass loss rate at the poles of the system ($\theta=0^{\rm o}$). The $\alpha, \beta$ and $k$ are constants


go to the scope of the orders which both petitioners claimed were too broad.  We think the order entered against LOF was not too broad and was authorized by Colgate.  The Commission had authority to stop misrepresentations as to other glass products in other advertisements.  The order against GM was also authorized except the following language contained in paragraph 1(a) therein: 'or otherwise misrepresenting the grade or quality of glass used in any window.'  We believe this portion of the order was too vague and indefinite to warrant enforcement.  It is therefore ordered that the quoted language be stricken from the order.

The order of the Commission in No. 15,663 is affirmed and enforced.

The order of the Commission in No. 15,664, is affirmed and"Any time you come home and play in front of our fans, you have expectations of what you're going to do, and you never draw it up that you're going to go down two goals that early, whether it's someone that slipped, someone got beat.

Q:

Create an angular filter that returns remote data?

I have a snippet of code that I use very often, that calls an API in order to return a user name based on an ID sent over to it.
 GetUserNames.get({users: user}, function (data) {
                $scope.userName = data[0];
             })

What I would like to do is turn this into a filter where I can do something like
{{userID | returnUserName}}

so that I can reuse and keep my controllers and my views clean. I wrote something like this:
angular.module('app.filters').filter('returnUserName', function(GetUserNames) {
    return function(input) {
      GetUserNames.get({ users: input },yours or gitlab's), so everything is basically the same as you in your computer(sure you will need the right environment, just appoint the right image or docker).
so yes, we could use 'curl' there. For the directory structure, if you have the privilege to login your server(thru ssh, for instance), you could get it easily. Or we could just explore it like what we do locally(pwd, ls, cd). So what I did is I have a script which have some "pwd, ls, cd ", and call this script from yml, then I look at the info it print to help figure out the directory structure. Then I got what I want(the path), then problem solved.
Although I didn't use dependencies, but you might want to read it to get more

 territory because of its proximity to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion Airport and other Israeli cities. Because of the grave security challenges this area poses to Israel, it is the “land of opportunity” for Hamas.

Under the new Palestinian unity government, Hamas will have ease in implementing its West Bank desires. The group will infuse Judea and Samaria with a jihadist culture reminiscent of the Second Intifada, in which hundreds of Israelis were murdered and thousands wounded.

Israel must prevent this at all costs. The Jewish state cannot allow such reckless danger posed to innocent Israelis and Palestinians. We have a moral obligation to refuse the Fatah-Hamas unity government.

Mr. Abbas understands that the peace process will be pummeled by Hamas, a radical group that has clearly stated that its strategy


has no room for Israel. After all, Hamas states publicly that it seeks a united, Islamic Middle East ruled by Shariah law and void of Jews, Christians and nonpracticing Muslims.

For any chance of peace, Israel and the PA must unite to destroy Hamas‘ military capabilities in Gaza rather than accept a Hamas expansion into the West Bank. Any real peace between Israelis and Palestinians must be preceded by a complete demilitarization of Hamas in Gaza.

Since Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, we have not received quiet but rather thousands of rockets and mortars fired into our civilian towns. If Hamas is allowed to expand into the West Bank, it will create another terrorist base - this time bordering Jerusalem and Israel’s central Tel Aviv region.

Usually, electrical wall outlets are provided with no more than two power ports, and these ports are usually designed to receive the conventional blades or prongs of an AC (alternating current) power cord. If more devices and/or devices requiring other than AC power outlets are to be used, a separate power strip or distributor must be acquired to receive the additional and/or varied power cords. Besides the additional costs incurred, the use of additional power strips or distributors often presents an unsightly, tangled mess.

And plaza itself functions as the "hub" from which the park's lands emanate: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to the east, Springfield to the north and International Street and Super Silly Fun Land to the west.

The bottom line

Protecting your credit during a divorce may seem like too much work at a time you are feeling overwhelmed, but failing to do it can haunt you for years to come. Post-divorce, many people findto real economic growth of about $150bn (£96bn, €121bn) or 0.8% of GDP."

Oil and gas output

The world's largest economy now produces about about 3.5 million barrels of tight oil a day and about 9.5 trillion cubic feet of shale gas per year. Those figures amount to about 30% of the nation's production of liquid fuels (which includes crude oil, biofuels, and natural gas liquids) and 40% of its production of natural gas.

EIA outlook

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently projected that the production of tight oil and shale gas will continue to grow over the next decade, by about 30% and about 60% respectively.

The EIA has also estimated that the amount of tight oil and shale gas in the US that could be extracted with today's technology will


is pretty rubbish and I know that one US state (Massachusetts) has actually brought in a law to ban employers from asking for it.
There are some tactics for declining to provide the information but they aren't going to help you here as you've already disclosed the figure and refusing to provide the payslip will probably just make them assume the worst. There's nothing wrong with accounting for the bonus when asked for your pay -
after all it formed part of your overall compensation package.
As for how to handle the discrepancy in amounts - if you have any documentation to substantiate the bonus amount, or even just the existence of the bonus itself then I would supply it along with the payslip. If you don't then when youI've mentioned?

Just be honest and indicate that you included your bonus when initially asked.
Next time try to remember to answer the questions as asked. If they ask your salary, just indicate the salary. Then if they ask your bonus, you can talk about that and under what conditions you'll get a bonus.
That way you won't risk coming across as slightly dishonest.


Ruth Asawa, an artist who learned to draw in an internment camp for Japanese-Americans during World War II and later earned renown weaving wire into intricate, flowing, fanciful abstract sculptures, died on Aug. 6 at her home in San Francisco, where many of her works now dot the cityscape. She was 87.

Her daughter Aiko Cuneo confirmed the death.

Ms. Asawa had been shunted from one detention camp to another as a child before blossoming under the tutelage of the artists Buckminster Fuller, John Cage, Franz Kline and Josef Albers. Gaining notice in the art world while still a student, she soon began building a wider following with abstract wire sculptures that expressed both the craftsmanship she had learned from Mexican basket makers as well as her ambition to extendstimulated for 48 h and subsequently fixed for 10 min.

After washing with PBS, a blocking step with 1% BSA/PBS was conducted for 20 min. to prevent unspecific binding followed by thorough washing with PBS. The actin-cytoskeleton was visualized by staining with 165 nM TRITC-conjugated phalloidin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and 1 μg/ml DAPI (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) diluted in antibody diluent (Zytomed Systems, Berlin, Germany) for 20 min. at RT. The solution was discarded and the cells washed with PBS prior to mounting on cover slides with DABCO (2.5% 1.4-diazabicyclo\[2.2.2\]octane in 90% glycerol). Images were taken at 200× magnification on a Nikon Eclipse 80i fluorescence microscope equipped with a CCD-camera.

Of the 252 subjects, 64 (25.4%) had an FPI-6 score of ≥6+, and there was a significant difference between males and females among the subjects with an FPI-6 score of ≥6+ (p=0.01, 95% CI \[1.20 to 3.36\]); 52 (81.25%) of the female subjects had pronated feet. The sensitivity and specificity of all variables were also analyzed using FPI-6


al.'s findings; most participants in that study did not wear shoes during early childhood\[[@ref13]\].

Foot posture and gender {#sec2-5}
-----------------------

Pronated feet were reported in 52 of 146 females (35.61%) and 12 of 106 males (11.32%) in the current study. Hagedorn et al. measured the center of pressure excursion index (CPEI) on adults and concluded that women had a lower CPEI (more foot pronation) than men. A possible explanation of the higher prevalence of flatfoot in females might be the wearing of high heels, especially among young adults\[[@ref24]\]. Increased joint mobility has shown an association with foot pronation\[[@ref25]\]; this is consistent with our finding that whole-body hypermobility is related to pronated feet. Ligament laxity has also been linked to foot pronation\[[@ref26]\]. The results of a survey in the United States contradictour findings; that study concluded that males had a higher frequency of flatfoot than females\[[@ref4]\]. In contrast, Redmond et al. found that gender did not correlate with FPI-6. However, this may be due to the subject selection in that study, for which data were collected from an online database containing measurements for subjects aged 3 to 96 years\[[@ref27]\]. The findings of Rodríguez et al.\[[@ref11]\] were similar to those of Redmond et al., and that study also included subjects with a wide age range (18-65 years).

Foot posture and age {#sec2-6}
--------------------

The present study found no association between age and foot pronation. This contrasts with the findings of studies involving children, in which foot posture is related to age. This could be because the skeletal system is not yet fully developed
