The astronomical sum of Rs 50 crore is the indication to judge the kind of stunts the audience is going to witness from Akshay Kumar in his upcoming action-packed film Rowdy Rathore. Directed by the ace dancer-turned-filmmaker, Prabhu Deva, the film promises to dish out some high-octane action sequences. It’s a known fact that Akshay is the ultimate action hero of Bollywood and he is always ready to dabble in this genre. But Rowdy Rathore required the 44-year-old to offer something different in terms of action.

We hear that when Prabhu Deva narrated the script to Akshay, he was

Google App Engine w/ Django - InboundMailHandler appears to only work once

I'm writing an app for Google App Engine (with Python and Django) that needs to receive email and add some elements of the received email messages to a datastore. I am a very novice programmer.
The problem is that the script I specify to handle incoming email appears to only run once (until the script is touched).
Sending a test email from the local admin console to, say, 'test@downloadtogo.appspotmail.com' causes an entity to be added to the local datastore correctly.
Sending a second, third, etc. test email has no effect - the entity is not added.
'Touching' handle_incoming_email.py (which I understand to mean adding or deleting a space and then saving), then sending another test email, will cause the entity to


Q:

Custom Lucene Index Field with Children

I want to create a custom field to be indexed in Lucene that has the children of the item being indexed. Is there an easy way to do this that I am overlooking?

A:

According to your requirement, you should look into creating a custom computed index field.
This community article by John West describes the process of adding a custom computed field in details:
https://community.sitecore.net/technical_blogs/b/sitecorejohn_blog/posts/sitecore-7-computed-index-fields
Basically, all you have to do is to define a computed index field, with your custom logic in the ComputeFieldValue method (in your case -> iterate through item's children and collect all you need, e.g. names, etc.)
The above article gives an example for Sitecore 7+, but in Sitecore 8+ the process is not very different

gene region (+1375 to +1993). One of the three other "CYP21B deletion" haplotypes (HLA-B7) had a sequence transition within this same region, while in the other two haplotypes (HLA-B61 and HLA-B18) the transition occurred between base pairs +470 and +999. By contrast, both CYP21 genes in a haplotype containing a gene conversion of CYP21B to CYP21A contained apparent transitions between sequences of CYP21A and CYP21B. We conclude that a single, unequal crossingover between the CYP21A and the CYP21B genes yields deletion of the active CYP21 gene and salt-losing CAH and that these crossingovers do not occur randomly within the CYP21 genes of our patients.


Photoshop on an iPad than the desktop version, using the spot healing brush and clone stamp tool with a Pencil is a great place to start. Given the lack of other tools and panels, Photoshop for iPad feels fluid and focused for this kind of work. The painting and retouching tools are a joy to use with an Apple Pencil. Masking is limited to bitmap masks only (no vector masks yet). However, clipping layers to other layers and groups works. That means many of the standard masking techniques used for photo retouching and illustration are well covered.

My response:

I must say that this is quite funny to read, because Shamoun has brushed aside the most important aspect of the question,
WHY WOULD JESUS EVEN PRAY? Shamouns pathetic attempt of
an answer in his opening statement doesnt cut it, it just makes us Muslim believe
that Jesus was no more than a prophet even more.shall be prayers (salawatun)
from their Lord and mercy, and they are the rightly directed. S. 2:157

He it is who sends PRAYERS on you (Arabic- yusalliialaykum), as do His angels
... S. 33:43

Allah and His angels PRAY for the Prophet (Arabic- yasalluunaalan-Nabiyy): O ye that
believe PRAY for him (salluu `alayhi),
and salute him with all respect. S. 33:56

Allah prays for believers and Muhammad, as Muhammad prays for
believers:

Take alms of their wealth, wherewith thou mayst
purify them and mayst make them grow, and pray for them (wasallialayhim). Lo! thy prayer (salataka) is an assuagement for them. Allah is Hearer,
Knower. S. 9:103 Pickthall

Since these verses all clearly say that Allah literally prays, and
since prayer requires an object, we must therefore ask to whom does Allah pray? Muslims claim that Allah is a singular entity,

The last decade has witnessed increased recognition of the value of literature reviews for advancing understanding and decision making. This has been accompanied by an expansion in the range of methodological approaches and types of review. However, there remains uncertainty over definitions and search requirements beyond those for the 'traditional' systematic review. This study aims to characterise health related reviews by type and to provide recommendations on appropriate methods of information retrieval based on the available guidance. A list of review types was generated from published typologies and categorised into 'families' based on their common features. Guidance on information retrieval for each review type was identified by searching pubmed, medline and Google Scholar, supplemented by scrutinising websites


a spectral density functional [@LDA+DMFT], this LDA+DMFT method incorporates realistic band structure effects and has already helped to solve several long–standing problems, e.g. temperature–dependent magnetism of Fe and Ni[@DMFT-Fe-Ni], volume collapse in Ce[@DMFT-Ce], and Pu[@DMFT-Pu], as well as electronic structure of doped Mott insulators[@doped-Mott].

In order to deduce exchange constants for general wave vector $\mathbf{q}$ we utilize a linear response based magnetic force theorem [MFT,many-body-J]{}and demonstrate the accuracy of our method on several Mott–Hubbard insulators including late transition metal oxides as well as parent materials of high–T$_{c}$ superconductors. To solve the impurity problem which is the nucleus of the dynamical mean field algorithm we apply a newly implemented cluster exact diagonalization method and calculate self–consistently local Green functions, self–energies and static linear response functions. Both the deduced spin wavematrix in the space of poles, while the physical Green function $G(\mathbf{k},\omega )$ corresponds to the first element of $\mathcal{G}(\mathbf{k},\omega ).$ In Eq.(\[sigma\]) weights $V_{i}^{+},V_{i}$ and poles $P_{i}$ can be viewed as matrices which provide a best fit to real $\Sigma (\omega ).$

It is remarkable that the present procedure allows us to use an expression for the interatomic exchange constants similar to a linear response formula derived within DFT [@MFT]. Consider second–order change in the total energy related to the rotations of the magnetic moments appeared at sites $%
R+\tau $ and $R^{\prime }+\tau ^{\prime }$ of the lattice (here $R$ are the lattice translations and $\tau $ are the atoms in the basis). The local magnetic field $\mathbf{B}_{\tau }$ at every atomic site $\tau $ is approximately described


significantly overestimates the magnetic transition temperatures as seen in Table I. (Since for FeO, CoO and CaCuO$_{2}$, LSDA converges to a completely wrong metallic state, we omit quoting those predictions). The LDA+U method considers the effect of $U$ in a static way, and this partially cures the shortcomings of LSDA making $T_{N}$ smaller but still much larger than the experimental ones. This conclusion is in agreement with the previously calculated results for MnO [@LDA-MnO-dispersion]. Hubbard Iapproximation uses exact diagonalization for atomic $d$–shell and deduces frequency dependent self–energy, which further reduces T$_{N}$ for all transition–metal oxides. The best results are seen to be obtained by allowing $d$–electrons to fluctuate between the bath and impurity as prescribed by the cluster exact diagonalization calculation.

Q:

Duplicate Tag on Remote

We are using Bitbucket as our remote for a git repository, and we somehow ended up with a duplicate tag (which I didn't think was possible).
When I try:
git push --delete origin refs/tags/mytagName

I get:
error: dst refspec refs/tags/mytagName matches more than one.
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://me@bitbucket.org/[etc]'

I can see both tags in the bitbucket UI, but (as far as I can tell) it does not have a feature that allows delete tags.
Any way of correcting this?
Edit to answer some comment questions:

How do you observe duplicate tags? Using git log or some sort of a
  GUI?

I can see the tags in the BitBucket UI.  I can also see the tags in my local git client (GitExtensions).
@torek: the duplicate tags do not have "^{}" inThe invention relates generally to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device and, more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device through Spacer Patterning Technology (SPT) based on Multi Exposure Technology (MET).
In general, a process of producing semiconductor devices includes separate processes of fabrication, electrical die sorting, assembly, test, and so forth.
The fabrication process includes procedures for manufacturing a semi-manufactured product which is formed as electric circuits by repeatedly going through diffusion, photoresist patterning, etching, and deposition processes, which may be carried completely in the wafer state.
The electrical die sorting process begins after the fabrication process. The electrical die sorting process sorts out bad chips through a test of the electrical characteristics of each chip in the wafer state.
Meanwhile, as the degree of integration of semiconductor


devices has increased, the size and pitch of patterns that form circuits have been reduced. According to Rayleigh's equation, the size of a fine pattern in a semiconductor device is in proportion to the wavelength of light used in the photo lithography process and is in inverse proportion to the size of the lens used in such a process. Thus, methods for reducing the wavelength of light used in the photo lithography or enlarging the size of lens have been used to reduce size and pitch of fine patterns.
In addition, as semiconductor devices have become highly-integrated, it would be necessary for manufacturing apparatus to operate beyond performance and capacity limits. In order to overcome technical limits of the manufacturing equipment, numerous methods have been attempted. For example, theTip-Off: 4 PM CDT

abstract: 'Analyses of strong–interaction data consisting of level shifts, widths and yields in strange atoms of $K^-$ mesons and $\Sigma^-$ hyperons are reviewed. Recent results obtained by fitting to comprehensive sets of data across the periodic table in terms of density dependent optical potentials are discussed. The introduction of density dependence generally improves significantly the fit to the data, leading to novel results on the in-medium hadron-nucleon $t$ matrix $t(\rho)$ over a wide range of densities up to central nuclear densities. A strongly attractive $K^-$–nuclear potential of order 150–200 MeV in nuclear matter is suggested by fits to $K^-$–atom data, with interesting possible repercussions on $\bar K$ condensation and on the evolution of strangeness in high-density stars. The case for relatively narrow deeply bound $K^-$ [*atomic*]{} states ismade, essentially independent of the $K^-$ potential depth. In view of the recently reported inconclusive experimental signals of $\bar K$ deeply bound states, dynamical models for calculating binding energies and widths of $\bar K$-[*nuclear*]{} states are discussed. Lower bounds on the width, $\Gamma_{\bar K} \gtrsim 50$ MeV, are established. For $\Sigma^-$ atoms, the fitted potential becomes repulsive inside the nucleus, in agreement with recently reported $(\pi^-,K^+)$ spectra from KEK, implying that $\Sigma$ hyperons generally do not bind in nuclei. This repulsion significantly affects calculated compositions and masses of neutron stars.'

Introduction {#sec:intro}
============

An exotic atom is formed when a negatively charged particle stops in a target and is captured by a target atom into an outer atomic orbit. It will then emit


for $K^-$ atoms and for $\Sigma^-$ atoms in the corresponding Sections. Shifts and widths caused by the interaction with the nucleus may be calculated by adding an optical potential to the Coulomb interaction. The study of the strong interaction in exotic atoms thus becomes the study of this additional potential, as reviewed in great detail by Batty, Friedman and Gal [@BFG97] and very recently by Friedman and Gal [@FGa07]. On the experimental side, studies of strong interaction effects in exotic atoms have been transformed over the years with the introduction of increasingly more advanced X-ray detectors and with increasing the efficiency of stopping the hadrons, such as with a cyclotron trap [@Got04].

The present Lectures focus particularly on the physics of the strong interaction which can be deduced byingredient of the optical potential. The density distribution of the protons is usually considered known as it is obtained from the nuclear charge distribution by unfolding the finite size of the charge of the proton. The neutron distributions are, however, generally not known to sufficient accuracy. For many nuclei there is no direct experimental information whatsoever on neutron densities and one must then rely on models which sometimes give conflicting results for the root-mean-square (rms) radii. Given this unsettled state of affairs, a semi-phenomenological approach was adopted that covers a broad range of possible neutron density distributions.

Experience with pionic atoms showed [@FGa07] that the feature of neutron density distributions which is most relevant in determining strong interaction effects in pionic atoms is the radial extent, as represented e.g.


\left|\psi_{\rm atom}\right|^2 d{\bf r}}\;,$$ results in a reduced width for atomic states. Eq. (\[eq:gamma\]) holds [*exactly*]{} for a Schrödinger equation, with only small changes for a KG equation, see Refs. [@FGa99a; @FGa99b]. In contrast, phenomenological kaonic atom potentials are [*attractive*]{}, but the strengths of the imaginary potential are such that the decay of $\psi_{\rm atom}$ as it enters the nucleus is equivalent to repulsion, resulting in narrow atomic states due to the reduced overlap as discussed above. It is seen from Fig. \[fig:Kspect\] that there is a saturation phenomenon where widths hardly increase for $l \leq 2$, contrary to intuitive expectation. The repulsive effect of sufficiently strong absorption is responsible for the general property of saturation of widths of atomic states and also for saturation of reaction cross sections above threshold,K}(\rho_0)~\sim~\frac{1}{3}~(\Sigma_s(N)-\Sigma_v(N))~\sim~
    -170~{\rm MeV}\,,$$ where the factor 1/3 is again due to the one nonstrange antiquark in the $\bar K$ meson, but here with respect to the three nonstrange quarks of the nucleon.

-   The ratio of $K^-/K^+$ production cross sections in nucleus-nucleus and proton-nucleus collisions near threshold, measured by the Kaon Spectrometer (KaoS) collaboration [@SBD06] at SIS, GSI, yields an estimate $V_{\bar K}(\rho_0) \sim -80$ MeV by relying on BUU transport calculations normalized to the value $V_K(\rho_0) \sim +25$ MeV. Since $\bar K NN \to YN$ absorption processes apparently were disregarded in these calculations, a deeper $V_{\bar K}$ may follow once nonmesonic absorption processes are included.

Deeply bound $K^-$ nuclear states in light nuclei {#sec:nuclear db}
-------------------------------------------------

The first prediction of a $\bar K$-nuclear quasibound state was made by Nogami [@Nog63]

  : Binding energies ($B$) and widths ($\Gamma$) calculated for $K^-pp$ (in MeV).[]{data-label="tab:kpp"}

Ongoing experiments by the FINUDA spectrometer collaboration at DA$\Phi$NE, Frascati, already claimed evidence for a relatively broad $K^- pp$ deeply bound state ($B \sim 115$ MeV) by observing back-to-back $\Lambda p$ pairs from the decay $K^-pp\to\Lambda p$ in $K^{-}_{\rm stop}$ reactions on Li and $^{12}$C [@ABB05], but these pairs could naturally arise from conventional absorption processes at rest when final-state interaction is taken into account [@MOR06]. Indeed, the $K^-_{\rm stop}pn\to \Sigma^- p$ reaction observed recently in $^6$Li [@ABB06] does not require any $K^-d$ quasibound state. It is worth noting, however, that in order to search for a $K^-pn$ bound state which is charge symmetric to the $K^-pp$ quasibound state discussed above,as shown on the left-hand side of Fig. \[fig:rho\] for the calculated average nuclear density $\bar \rho = \frac{1}{A}\int\rho^2d{\bf r}$ as a function of $B_{K^-}$ for $K^-$ nuclear $1s$ states across the periodic table, and on the right-hand side of the figure for the density of $^{~~40}_{K^-}$Ca for several $1s$ $K^-$ nuclear states with specified $B_{K^-}$ values [@MFG06]. It is seen that in the light $K^-$ nuclei, $\bar \rho$ increases substantially with $B_{K^-}$ to values about 50% higher than without the $\bar K$. The increase of the central nuclear densities is bigger, up to 50-100%, and is nonnegligible even in the heavier $K^-$ nuclei where it is confined to a small region of order 1.5 fm.

Gazda et al. [@GFG07] recently calculated multi-$\bar{K}$ nuclear configurations, finding that the nuclear and $\bar K$ densities behave regularly upon increasing the number of antikaons embedded in the nuclear medium, without any indication for abrupt or substantial increase of the densities. The central nuclear densities appear to saturate at approximately 50% higher values than the central nuclear density with one antikaon, as shown on the left-hand side of Fig. \[fig:multi\] for multi-$K^-$ $^{208}{\rm Pb}$ nuclei. Furthermore, the $\bar K$ binding energy saturates upon increasing the number of $\bar K$ mesons embedded in the nuclear medium. The heavier the nucleus is, the more antikaons it takes to saturate the binding energies, but even for $^{208}{\rm Pb}$ therepulsive component within the nucleus is not determined by the atomic data. The resulting potentials are shown in Fig. \[fig:ddsig\] (DD, solid lines), where it is worth noting that the transition from attraction to repulsion occurs well outside of the nuclear radius, hence the occurrence of this transition should be largely model independent. To check this last point we have repeated the fits to the atomic data with the ‘geometrical model’ F of Sect. \[sec:Kat\], using separate $t \rho $ expressions in an internal and an external region, see Eq. (\[eq:DDF\]). The neutron densities used in the fits were of the skin type, with the $r_n-r_p$ parameter Eq. (\[eq:RMF\]) $\gamma$=1.0 fm. The fits deteriorate significantly if the halo type is used for the neutron density. The fit to the data is equally good

With lackluster sales, you’d think the go-to move for Alfa Romeo would be to slash the price of the Giulia QV, bring it in-line with the rest of its competitors, or even going so far as to undercut those American-German rivals. Even with the heaps of great press, including us, we’re not sure the market is there for a price increase. As of last month, Alfa Romeo has only sold 4,578 Giulias total.

The number of QVs is only a small fraction of that, so maybe the price increase won’t hurt Alfa’s total sales,

I didn't understand at all, but that was pretty normal when talking to Naha. I just shrugged.

When Naha stepped out from behind Eino, I finally noticed how the little city Yukur was shivering, the very bricks of it radiating awe and fear at her presence. It did not protest her being there, though the shape she wore was female now, because she was even less a she than I was the he I seemed to be. It would not have mattered much if Yukur had protested, though; Nahadoth was Nahadoth. Rules meant nothing to the god of chaos and change.

I trotted over to stand before her; at once the tendrils of her swept round me,


the shining, screaming thing that was Eino with me, dragging him by his soul; I was laughing. _We_ were laughing, him through his screams and me through my tears, as all around us gathered a ring of power so vicious and intense that the Raringa's floor peeled apart in splinters and rubble and its roof shattered and flew outward and most of the mortals screamed and fled.

And high above us the moon moved back into the place that it had held for eons, and the sun gasped and turned to see what was happening, and all the planets, everywhere, suddenly paid attention and got excited. All over existence I could feel all the incomprehensible members of my family perk up, or inhale, or sparkle, or ripple as theytoo undistinguished to earn a more secure place within it. _Strongbacks get dumped same as commless when times get hard_ , her brother Chaga has told her, to tease her. Especially if a comm has too much labor and not enough specialization, and especially during a Season. Of course, Chaga is a Resistant, like Father. All comms like to have them around no matter how hard the times, in case of sickness and famine and such.

The man's footsteps stop just outside the straw pile. "You needn't be afraid," he says again, more softly now. Mother is still down on the ground level; she probably can't hear him. "I won't let your mother hurt you."

Damaya inhales.

She's not stupid. The man is a child buyer, and child buyers do terrible


corner. She's glad he got the message in Brevard, too.

"You're very lucky," he says, perhaps reading her expression. His own has grown sober. "Not all parents do the right thing. Sometimes they don't keep their child isolated as the Fulcrum and we Guardians recommend. Sometimes they do, but we get the message too late, and by the time a Guardian arrives a mob has carried the child off and beaten her to death. Don't think too unkindly of your parents, Dama. You're alive and well, and that is no small thing."

Damaya squirms a little, unwilling to accept this. He sighs. "And sometimes," he continues, "the parents of an orogene will try to hide the child. To keep her, untrained and without a Guardian. That always goes badly."

This isman was lucky. She did not often bestow Her blessings upon foreigners.

The Bromarte's eyes already flickered beneath their lids; no jungissa was necessary to send him into the proper state of sleep. Laying fingers on the man's eyelids, Ehiru willed his own soul to part from flesh, leaving its connection—the umblikeh—tethered in place so that he could follow it back when the time came. The bedchamber had become a shadow-place, colorless and insubstantial, when Ehiru opened his soul's eyes. A reflection of the waking realm, unimportant. Only one thing had meaning in this halfway place between waking and dreaming: the delicate, shimmering red tether that emerged from somewhere near the Bromarte's collarbones and trailed away into nothingness. This was the path the man's soul had taken on its

As a result of all of this work, there have been only 19 cases and eight deaths in the country.

John Vertefeuille, from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told AFP: “Nigeria acted quickly and early and on a large scale. They acted aggressively, especially in terms of contact-tracing.”

Senegal, which is much closer to the countries particularly badly affected, was also declared Ebola free on Friday.

Its government similarly reacted very quickly, and identified 74 people who had close contact with the patient, who travelled by road from Guinea.---
abstract: 'We present an archival search for transient gravitational-wave bursts in coincidence with 27 single-pulse triggers from Green Bank Telescope pulsar surveys, using the LIGO, Virgo and GEO interferometer network. We also discuss a check for gravitational-wave signals in coincidence with Parkes fast radio bursts using similar methods. Data analyzed in these searches were collected between 2007 and 2013. Possible sources of emission of both short-duration radio signals and transient gravitational-wave emission include starquakes on neutron stars, binary coalescence of neutron stars, and cosmic string cusps. While no evidence for gravitational-wave emission in coincidence with these radio transients was found, the current analysis serves as a prototype for similar future searches using more sensitive second-generation interferometers.'

not an exhaustive list of theoretical joint sources, but most other types of sources are outside the scope of the analyses described in this paper due to the frequency or duration of the predicted GW and/or radio emission not being well suited to the instruments described in this analysis. For example, some scenarios in which gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) may also result in radio emission are not explicitly considered in developing this analysis; prompt radio emission models [@usov; @sagiv] predict signals at much lower frequencies than the Green Bank and Parkes telescopes can detect, and GRB radio afterglows [@nakar] occur on longer time scales inconsistent with the short radio pulses that are the subject of the searches described in this paper.

-   [a compact binary coalescence signal from merging 1.4 solar mass neutron stars]{};

-   [a compact binary coalescence signal from a 1.4 solar mass neutron star and a 50 solar mass black hole.]{}

These waveforms were selected to broadly represent the types of gravitational wave signals that may occur in coincidence with radio pulses without focusing too heavily on a specific morphology. In addition, the last three bullet points describe specific signals used in previous LIGO searches in order to facilitate sensitivity comparisons with previous work.

SAGE Tags for Genes Encoding Known Virulence Factors or Virulence-Associated Functions

![](ppat.0030042.t001)

We initially focused on categories containing known genes for capsule and melanin formation (*CAP* and *CAS* genes) or genes with known associations with virulence (e.g., response to oxidative stress). We found that tags for the capsule-related genes *CAS35* and *CAP10* \[[@ppat-0030042-b004]\] had reduced levels in the *pka1* and *pkr1* mutants compared with tags for the WT strain in the low iron condition


relative to the WT library. These tags represent genes with sequence similarity to a number of heat shock proteins (HSPs), including Hsp10, Hsp12, Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsp90, and Sks2. Coupled with the genes for other stress-responsive proteins, such as glutathione peroxidase, transaldolase, alpha-trehalose-phosphate synthase, thioredoxin-dependent peroxide reductase, and cyclophilin A, these results indicate a conserved connection between PKA and stress in C. neoformans. Many of these proteins are important for secretion as well as resistance to oxidative and nitrosative stress, and several have been linked to virulence in C. neoformans or other pathogens \[[@ppat-0030042-b036]--[@ppat-0030042-b039],[@ppat-0030042-b043],[@ppat-0030042-b046]--[@ppat-0030042-b048]\]. For example, glutathione peroxidases are important for defense against oxidative killing in bacterial pathogens such as Streptococcus pyogenes \[[@ppat-0030042-b049]\]. HSPs are produced in response to heat stress \[[@ppat-0030042-b050]\], and the SAGE results predicted that theof both UPR and PKA regulation in S. cerevisiae \[[@ppat-0030042-b061],[@ppat-0030042-b062]\]. Genes related to inositol metabolism were identified by SAGE including the C. neoformans ortholog of *INO1* encoding myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase; the tag for this gene had a reduced level in the *pkr1* mutant ([Table 3](#ppat-0030042-t003){ref-type="table"}). A tag for a gene encoding a putative inositol-1- (or 4)-monophosphatase was found to have lower levels in the *pka1* and *pkr1* mutants relative to WT. This enzyme is important for converting glucose 6-phosphate to myo-inositol phosphate. A tag for a gene encoding phosphatidylglycerol/phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP) was elevated in both the *pkr1* and WT libraries relative to the *pka1* library. PITP was named due to its ability to transport phosphatidylinositol between membrane compartments, and recent data indicate that PITP plays an important


mutants ([Figure 7](#ppat-0030042-g007){ref-type="fig"}D). The WT or the *pka1* phenotypes were restored upon reintroduction of the *OVA1* gene into the *ova1* mutant or the *pka1 ova1* double mutant, respectively. Given the putative phosphatidylethanolamine-binding domain, the lithium sensitivity of the double mutant, and the influence of PKA on transcript levels for genes in inositol metabolism, we propose that Ova1 plays a negative role in phospholipid-related trafficking functions needed for capsule production and potentially influences laccase transport. Of course, it is also possible that Ova1 functions in other processes to influence capsule size and melanin production in the background of the *pka1* mutation. Finally, we performed a preliminary test of the role of Ova1 in virulence because of our observations that *ova1* mutants had a slightly enlarged capsule. We inoculated thewas initially identified as a multicopy suppressor of the cdc25--1 mutation in S. cerevisiae \[[@ppat-0030042-b082]\]. More recent work has shown that Tfs1p is an inhibitor of the Ras-GAP encoded by *IRA2* and carboxypeptidase Y (CPY is a well-characterized protein that traffics through the yeast secretory pathway) \[[@ppat-0030042-b102],[@ppat-0030042-b103]\]. Given that *CDC25* encodes the Ras-GEF and *IRA2* encodes the Ras-GAP, and that Ras functions in S. cerevisiae to stimulate cAMP signaling, Tfs1p appears to be an activator of the RAS/cAMP/PKA pathway that establishes links to lipid binding and potential secretion functions. *TFS1* is also overexpressed in response to oxidative stress, diauxic shift, and heat shock, and contains a stress response element (STRE), indicating transcriptional control by Msn2/Msn4 \[[@ppat-0030042-b102]\]. Furthermore, loss of Tfs1 suppresses growth inhibition caused by caffeine \[[@ppat-0030042-b102]\]. The


will be valuable for investigating the expression of secretory system components and virulence factors in the context of cryptococcal growth in mammalian hosts. Importantly, many of the genes that we have identified for secretion, heat shock, and transport showed abundant messages in the same strain of C. neoformans isolated from the cerebral spinal fluid of a rabbit model of cryptococcal meningitis \[[@ppat-0030042-b074]\]. These observations provide confidence that the in vitro conditions used for SAGE analysis of virulence factor regulation have relevance to infection. We should note that our SAGE analysis provides a view of the regulation of gene expression by PKA only in the serotype A background of C. neoformans. It is known that differences exist in PKA signaling between strains of the A and D serotypes \[[@ppat-0030042-b018]\].DNA sequences where introns are present, the expected values recorded were higher than would have been expected if the introns had been removed. The same was true for the results determined for both genomic sequences and ESTs compared to those that would have been expected if the sequences had been translated and the BLASTp algorithum were employed rather than a BLASTx algorithm.

Phenotypic analysis. {#s4d}
--------------------

To examine the response of C. neoformans to stress, exponentially growing cultures were washed, resuspended in H~2~O, and adjusted to 10^6^ cells/ml. The cell suspensions were the diluted 10-fold serially, spotted onto YPD medium supplemented with or without 1.5M KCl, 1.5M NaCl, 75mM, or 150mM LiCl, 0.5 mg/ml caffeine, 0.01% and 0.1% SDS, 0.5 or 1 mg/ml calcofluor white (Fluorescent Brighter 28), 1.5 M sorbitol,


^32^P using an Oligolabelling kit (Amersham Biosciences, <http://www.amershambiosciences.com>). Scanned images were analyzed using an AlphaImager 3400 (Alpha Innotech, <http://www.alphainnotech.com>). Real-time PCR analysis was conducted using primers targeted to 3′ ends of the transcripts; primers were designed using PrimerExpress (Applied Biosystems, <http://www.appliedbiosystems.com>). Total RNA from the frozen cells was extracted as described above, DNA was removed by treatment with DNase I for 30 min at 25 °C, and cDNA was synthesized using random hexamers and Superscript transcriptase II (Invitrogen Canada). The resulting cDNA was used for real-time PCR with Power SYBR Green PCR mix (Applied Biosystems) according to the manufacturer\'s recommendations. An Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System was used to detect and quantify the PCR products using the following conditions: incubation at 95 °C for 10 minfollowed by 40 cycles of 95 °C for 15 sec, and 60 °C for 1 min. The cDNAs of the ACT1 and GPD genes were used to normalize the data ([Table S6](#ppat-0030042-st006){ref-type="supplementary-material"}; \[[@ppat-0030042-b022],[@ppat-0030042-b073]\]). Dissociation analysis on all PCR reactions confirmed the amplification of a single product for each primer pair and the lack of primer dimerization (Applied Biosystems). Primers used for each gene are listed in [Table S6](#ppat-0030042-st006){ref-type="supplementary-material"}. Relative gene expression was quantified using SDS software 1.3.1 (Applied Biosystems).

Capsule formation. {#s4h}
------------------

A single colony from solid YPD medium for each strain was cultured overnight at 30 °C in liquid YPD medium. Two inducing media (LIM and agar-based DMEM) \[[@ppat-0030042-b107],[@ppat-0030042-b115]\] were used to examine capsule formation. For DMEM, 3 × 10^5^ cells were spotted onto the plate, and incubated for

###### Relative Quantification of Gene Expression of Selected Transcripts in the WT Strain and the *pka1* and *pkr1* Mutants

\(A\) Quantitative real-time PCR was used to analyze the expression of eight selected genes found by SAGE to be differentially expressed in the WT and mutant strains. Similar results were obtained with either *ACT1* or *GPD1* as the control transcript for normalization. The real-time PCR analysis was repeated with three independent samples for each strain, and each bar represents the average of three independent measurements.

The Denver Broncos’ AFC Championship Game victory over the New England Patriots was an instant classic — and now it has the ratings to prove it.

Sunday’s afternoon CBS game was the highest-rated AFC Championship contest in 29 years, scoring a 31.8 rating per Nielsen’s overnight household metric, and a 53 share. The last AFC Championship game to top it was 1987’s Denver-Cleveland overtime contest on NBC, which edged yesterday’s matchup by just one tenth of a ratings point.

This may not come as a surprise, but the Patriots-Broncos game was the highest-rated TV program in the metered markets since 2015’s Super Bowl XLIX.

Sunday’s early battle was up 31 percent from last year’s version, when New England crushed Indianapolis —a game that eventually spawned the Deflategate scandal that we still can’t quite avoid.

This two-point victory, which peaked from 6-6:30 p.m. ET, also convincingly bested last night’s primetime NFC Championship blowout in ratings on Fox — by a whopping 19 percent. It’s nice to have a close game — and Tom Brady, and Peyton Manning, of course.

Super Bowl 50 will also air on CBS. The Broncos are set to take on Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Feb. 7, from the neutral site of Santa Clara, Calif. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m ET. Get your popcorn — and ratings records — ready.


(Mike) now owns the annexed storage shack legally. Thomas (Jim) and Tuk Tuk (Will) tricked Oleg into selling it for 30 gold, using only some dice and a cleverly worded, signed contract. Dakkan cerebrated his new ownership by ingesting lotus blooms and setting himself on fire (kobold putting it out with water and pee.) Also, Oleg was completely healed! A mysterious trapper came by while the heroes where sleeping and healed him back to full heath.

As the party was about to head out to the Kobold cave the potion dealer told them about the mysterious stranger shows up at the camp. He was wearing dragon mail full plate armor and introduced himself as an Eagle Knight of Andor. After a short conversion the Knight demonstrated his shape shiftingleave but vows to kill “zombie Jesus” at the earliest convenience.

The party finally arrives at the area where the supposed kobold cave should be located but there was no cave…only a large tree. Once they advance closer to the tree the big cat that had been tailing them this whole time leads them to a clearing. There they find a kobold deep in a chemically induced meditation session. Once awoken, the kobold named himself “KEE-bob” and revealed himself to being Shamus contact “within” the Stonescale kobolds. Despite his recent exiling, bob is still well informed about the goings on in the tribe. He tells the party of a pointless ongoing campaign going on between the Stonescale kobolds and the fey creatures know as “mites” living underneath the big

The bandit where ready with short bows drawn and all let loose. All seven arrows missed there target on there first volley but Thomas was soon riddled with arrows as the archers continued to fire. Nello (James) was next to emerge. He insulted the twin hatchet woman by called her a dyke in hopes of distracting her from the wounded Thomasof digging and sharpening of wood. Day two was when things started to go astray.

The ranger and inquisitor went off to hunt for poisonous creatures to get the poison need for the spikes while the Magus went in side the main house with a wicked plan to make Oleg more receptive to his part as “human bait” in the group plan. The ranger first tried to hunt in the stable but all he got was a small non-venomous spider (which he promptly put in a pickle jar) and his boots covered in horse dung. He took the inquisitor with him for his next attempt.

comes on the heels of a much-watched contest in Arizona, where the utility’s egregious proposal of a $50-$100 fee on solar customers was also soundly defeated last week. Commissions in Idaho and Louisiana upheld their net metering policies against attacks earlier this year as well.

In all cases, the utilities’ anti-solar proposals were met with strong opposition from a public that increasingly wants to generate its own power from the sun. It seems that attempting to regulate against customer choice and market innovation is a losing proposition.

Infocom Games (edit: no, not this Infocom games) seems to have a serious problem with creativity—but they've found a way around it. Here's their secret. Take Minecraft. Combine it with some other popular or good property. Possibly profit? REPEAT.

Block Craft: Iron Ops? Why, that's Minecraft plus Iron Man, of course! Also a shooter, so many I shouldn't give them any points for "originality"—especially when that's probably the most generic genre out there nowadays. I'm impressed by how the name manages to scream VIDEO GAMES while also giving a nod to what it's rippping off, though.

This one might take the cake in terms of number of things that were ripped off. So we've got Minecraft, that one is obvious. The backgrounds are from Fez. The characters seem to


England v Italy – Tactical Preview

On Saturday June 14th, England start off their World Cup 2014 campaign against Italy. The Italians are favourites for this tie, best priced at 9/5 with Betfair, with the draw available at 2/1 with Ladbrokes and England best priced at 11/5 with Coral.

The Line ups

These line ups are somewhat difficult to predict. With Italy, it’s hard to see what formation Prandelli will use, as he has flirted with both the 3-5-2 and 4-3-3 in recent games. Italy’s weakness at full back could be an issue with a four man defence and would cause Bonucci to be dropped, but a three man defence is difficult to balance when teams are increasingly playing with a lone striker. However, the line up doesn’t change how Italy36(b). Viewing these facts from a position considerably enhanced by our extensive exposure to the Massachusetts civil service system, we have no difficulty in upholding the district court's conclusion that plaintiffs enjoyed a substantial probability of success on the merits. We consider the prejudice flowing to the unions from denial of intervention to be as slight as the unions' probability *1485 of success on the merits of the issues they would raise upon intervention.

Id. at 22-23, citations and footnotes omitted. Absent some unusual circumstance, this holding in Culbreath must govern this case. I too find the prejudice to the plaintiffs flowing from denial of intervention to be as slight as their likelihood of success on the merits.

For the reasons stated above, the motion of the defendants to dismiss the case for failure to state a claim is allowed. The motion of the Class to intervene is allowed.

[2]  I note that the Third Circuit recently discussed the continuing legality of an affirmative action program controlling the hiring of teachers in the Philadelphia public school system. Kromnick v.

Id.current the device can handle. Because of this relationship, it is desirable to pack as many trenches as possible for a given die area. One way to accomplish this is by reducing the trench pitch, which, for example, requires reducing the width of source regions 22 and/or high conductivity contact regions 30. However, traditional fabrication processes can limit the amount of reduction that can be achieved in these dimensions, thereby affecting the amount of reduction that can be achieved in trench pitch.
As is also known, in prior art power semiconductor devices, such as MOSFET 100, trenches 12 must extend at least through the entire thickness of the channel region 20. Furthermore, the gate electrode 26 must also extend at least the length of the region that is to


be inverted within the channel region. Naturally, when the thickness of the channel region is increased (e.g., to increase the breakdown voltage of the device) the gate trenches must be deeper and consequently the gate electrodes larger. Having larger gate electrodes is undesirable, however, as they include a larger volume of conductive material requiring a higher amount of charge to operate. Furthermore, a thicker channel region increases the on state resistance of the device as it increases the current path.the Debtor for the purpose of making the crops, proceeds of which went to Farmers Home Administration.

can achieve the same (additive) error as the AMS algorithm *at all points in the stream*, at the cost of using 8-wise independent random signs rather than 4-wise independent signs. An alternative is described in Appendix \[app: another F2\] where we show that if one accepts an additional $\log1/{\varepsilon}$ space then 4-wise independent signs suffice. Note that [@BravermanCIW16] describes an algorithm using $O(\log\log n)$ words that does $F_2$ tracking in an insertion only stream with a multiplicative error $(1\pm{\varepsilon})$. The multiplicative guarantee is stronger, albeit with more space for the algorithm, but the result can be recovered as a corollary to our additive $F_2$ tracking theorem, which has a much simplified algorithm and analysis compared to [@BravermanCIW16].

After some preliminaries, Section \[sec: algo\] presents both algorithms and their analyses. The description of is= S^{1/p} (u^* + \int_{u^*}^\infty \Pr(\sup_{A\in\mathcal{A}} \gamma(A) > \lambda\cdot S^{1/p}) d\lambda)\\
{}&\lesssim S^{1/p} (\sqrt{p} \cdot\sup_{A\in\mathcal{A}} \|A\|_F + p \cdot\sup_{A\in\mathcal{A}} \|A\|) \label{eqn:chain}\end{aligned}$$

Now by applying to repeatedly with $\mathcal{A} = \mathcal{A}_\ell = \{ B_{x_\ell} - B_{x_{\ell-1}}: x \in T\}$, noting $\sup_{A\in\mathcal{A}_\ell} \|A\|\leq\sup_{A\in\mathcal{A}_\ell} \|A\|_F \leq 1/\sqrt{k}2^\ell$ and $|\mathcal{A}_\ell| \le 2|T_\ell| \le 2\cdot 2^{2\ell}$, $$\begin{aligned}
\nonumber
 {\mathbb{E}}\sup_{x\in T} \gamma(B_x)  \lesssim \frac{p}{\sqrt{k}} + \sum_{\ell=1}^\infty \frac{p2^{2\frac{\ell}{p} - \ell}}{\sqrt{k}}  \lesssim \frac{p}{\sqrt{k}}\end{aligned}$$ for $p\ge 4$. Thus it suffices for the entries of $Z$ to be $2p$-wise independent, i.e. $8$-wise independent.

The complete heavy hitters algorithm {#sec: main algo proof}
------------------------------------

We will now describe , formally Algorithm \[algo: guess\], which is an algorithm that removes the assumption on $\sigma$ needed by . It is followed by the complete algorithm . The step in that guesses an approximation $\sigma$ for $\sqrt{F_2}$ works


we will just compare against .

The first two experiments help to determine some parameters for and the heaviness constant $K$. Afterwards, we compare the performance of and for finding a single heavy hitter in the regime where the heavy hitter frequency is large enough so that both algorithms work reliably.

[**Streams.**]{} The experiments were performed using four types of streams (synthetic data). In all cases, one heavy hitter is present. For a given $n$ and $\alpha$ there are $n$ items with frequency 1 and one item, call it $H$, with frequency $\alpha\sqrt{n}$. If $\alpha$ is not specified then it is taken to be $1$. The four types of streams are (1) all occurrences of $H$ occur at the start of the stream, (2) all occurrences of $H$ at the32$.

versus comparison
-----------------

In the final experiment we compare against . The goal is to understand space and time trade-off in a regime where both algorithms reliably find the heavy hitter.

For each choice of parameters we compute the update rate of the and (in updates/millisecond) and the storage used (in kilobytes) for all of the variables in the associated program. The results are presented in Figure \[fig: countsketch\].

The figure shows that is much faster and about one third of the space. The dramatic difference in speed is to be expected because two bottlenecks in are computing the median of


e.g. 0.1, what we find is that one can essentially reduce the number rows of the data structure from $\log(n)$ to just a few, e.g. one or two, at the cost of a factor $32^2=1024$ increase in space.[^10] This brief calculation suggests that will outperform when the heaviness is $\alpha<1$ until $n\gtrsim 2^{1024}$—which is to say always in practice. On the other hand, our experiments demonstrate that clearly outperforms with a sufficiently heavy heavy hitter. More experimental work is necessary to determine the heaviness threshold (as a function of $n$) where out-performs . There are many parameters that affect the trade-offs among space, time, and accuracy, so such an investigation is beyond the scope of the preliminary results reported here.

Conclusion
==========

In this paper we studied the heavy hitters problem, which isarguably one of the most important problems for data streams. The problem is heavily inspired from practice and algorithms for it are used in commercial systems. We presented the first space and time optimal algorithm for finding $\ell_2$-heavy hitters, which is the strongest notion of heavy hitters achievable in polylogarithmic space. By optimal, we mean the time is $O(1)$ to process each stream update, and the space is $O(\log n)$ bits of memory. These bounds match trivial lower bounds (for constant ${\varepsilon}$). We also provided new techniques which may be of independent interest: (1) a one-pass implementation of a multi-round adaptive compressed-sensing scheme where we use that after filtering a fraction of items, the heavy item is becoming even heavier (2) a derandomization of Bernoulli processes relevant in


in interval $i$. Also, the algorithm maintains $X$ which is the current number of intervals for which the current global counter has not been replaced. If the maximum between $X$ and the counter from the $i$th interval is greater than the global counter then (1) is executed, otherwise (2) is executed.

Consider the following counter example that shows cannot find $\ell_2$ heavy hitters in $O(1)$ words. $f\in{\mathbb{R}}^{2n}$ is a frequency vector where one coordinate $H$ has frequency $\sqrt{n}$, $n$ elements have frequency $1$, and $\sqrt{n}$ elements have frequency $n^{1/4}$, call the latter “pseudo-heavy”. The remaining coordinates of $f$ are 0. Consider the stream that is split into $t$ intervals $B_1,\ldots,B_t$ where $t =\sqrt{n}$ and each interval has size $\Theta(t)$. The items are distributed as follows.

-   Each interval $w$identified, conditionally given ${\mathcal{C}}$, ${\mathcal{T}}$, and $E$ is at least $2/3-1/2=1/6$, which completes the proof.

Q:

How can I access variables from another class?

There is probably a very simple solution for this but I can't get it working.
I have got multiple classes in my Cocoa file. In one of the classes class1 I create a variable that I need to use in another class class2 as well. Is there a simple way to import this variable in class2?

A:

You can either make the variable public, or make it into a property.  For example, to make it public:
@interface Class1
{
@public
    int var;
}
// methods...
@end

// Inside a Class2 method:
Class1 *obj = ...;
obj->var = 3;

To make it a property:
@interface Class1
{
    int var;  // @protected by default
}
@property (readwrite, nonatomic) int var;
// methods...
@end

@implementation Class1
@synthesize var;
...
@end

// Inside a Class2 method:
Class1 *obj = ...;
obj.var = 3;Seated Portrait of Minamoto no Yoritomo

is an anonymous wooden sculpture from the 13th or 14th centuries presumably depicting Minamoto no Yoritomo, now part of the collection of the Tokyo National Museum.

Minamoto no Yoritomo (1147–1199) was the founder and the first shōgun of the Kamakura Shogunate of Japan. He ruled from 1192 until 1199. It is generally agreed that the sculpture might be an image of him, but this attribution is not completely certain.

Dated from the Kamakura period (1185-1333), it is believed that this sculpture was enshrined in the Tsurugaoka Hachimangū Shinto shrine in Kamakura, a place of worship strongly linked to the Minamoto family. It is also said that when Toyotomi Hideyoshi visited the shrine, he talked to the sculpture  of Yoritomo while patting it on its

I am not familiar with the Z-Wave, but if the 3 different data rates share the same spectrum bandwidth, then there is no more job for you and you are done.
But if they do, which I believe that is true for your case, you need some extra steps.
First of all you have to sample the time domain signal with the maximum sampling rate required by the Z-Wave. For example, if for the 3 different data rates the spectrum bandwidth is 4, 2 and 1 MHz you have to sample with 4e6 samples/s. Then you perform SRC (Source Rate Conversion), also known as re-sampling, for each of the different streams. So for the second rate you may want to re-sample your input streamThis application is for completion of the project started two years ago under the title METHADONE TEMPORARY SUPPORT USING LAAM AND NALTREXONE. We are testing the efficacy of short-term substitution of a surrogate opiate (LAAM) for heroin, followed by naltrexone to aid in maintaining abstinence. In the first cohort, 179 patients were admitted to treatment; we expect about the same number in the second cohort. Follow-up will be at one and two years following termination. In the course of this study various ancillary data are being obtained, such as detailed information about LAAM safety and toxicity, experience with rapid induction onto LAAM, experience with naloxone testing for heroin dependence, comparison of fast and slow withdrawal from LAAM, experience with a new method of monitoring the validity of urine

Leveling The Plane of Existence is the third full-length album from American death metal band Abysmal Dawn which was released on February 1, 2011 in the United States, and February 14 worldwide through Relapse Records. It is to be considered as a follow-up to their previous release Programmed to Consume which was released in 2008.

Album information
Abysmal Dawn began recording Leveling the Plane of Existence in May 2010. The drums were recorded at Trench Studios in Corona, California with John Haddad with the rest of the instrumentation being produced and recorded by Mike Bear at Artisan Road Studios in Encino, California. This album was being mixed and mastered by Erik Rutan at Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida.

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

The ability of modulating the local polarization of the focal field can be used to determine the orientation of a single optical emitter[@SWHell2001].This can be achieved by engineering the pupil field.\
In the first example, we achieved an elongated hollow spot with radially polarized pupil field $Z_n^1$, for which at the focal points where the intensity is maximum, the focal electric field is polarized primarily along the z-direction. With the same set of Zernike polynomials, we can also maximize the tranverse compoents by optimizing the $\beta_n^1$ to minimize $|I_t/I_{max}-I_{target}|$, where $I_t=|\sum_p\beta_n^1E^{n1}_{\mathrm{f}x}|^2+|\sum_p\beta_n^1E^{n1}_{\mathrm{f}y}|^2$, $I_{max}$ is the maximum1.

The NYW&B route began at Harlem River station at 132nd Street and Willis Avenue. An elevated shuttle and later a covered walkway linked it to the 129th Street station of the Second and Third Avenue elevated lines (and later to the IRT subway). NYW&B's tracks ran parallel to the NH's tracks, serving four stations also served by New Haven commuter service, to just south of 180th Street, which


program is estimated to reach UK£ 337m by 2021 and is forecasted to deliver energy and maintenance cost savings of UK£ 1.2bn and save 2.6m tonnes of CO2 in the next 20 years.

One of the prime example of cost savings and other benefits is South Lanarkshire Council, which has already installed 19,000 LED street lights. The program is savings UK£ 550,000 annually. The council is targeting to replace all its 58,000 street lights to LED lights in the span of next two years.

The Associate Director at the Scotland’s Council, who leads the street lighting program carefully explained to the government that the current program is extremely beneficial and payback period is very less after making investment in LED lighting. This period spans from months to couple of years.

Ponwith was referring to the current top three players from the U.S. born the same year (1998) as he was. All three – Stefan Kozlov (No. 4), Tiafoe (No. 7) and Michael Mmoh (No. 9) – are currently ranked in the Top 10 of the world ITF rankings.

In the boys’ 16s final, No. 9 John McNally of Cincinnati will play No. 2 Zeke Clark of Tulsa, Okla.

In the girls’ 16s, top-seeded Katerina Stewart of Coral Gables, Fla., will take on unseeded Claire Liu of Thousand Oaks, Calif. Stewart has won eight of her 10 sets during the ASICS Easter Bowl by 6-0 scores. She recorded another


Q:

Difference between ましてや and なおさら

I have learnt that these are both ways to say "let alone, all the more.. etc"
Are these two grammatical structures interchangeable, or meant to be used together? Many thanks in advance.

A:

They are basically interchangeable and can be used together, in both positive and negative contexts. You need to change the sentence structure around to switch between them, though. Here's a negative example:

風{かぜ}がないので、なおさら暑く{あつく}感じる{かんじる}。
暑い。ましてや風がないとなるとなおさら暑い。
暑い。ましてや風がないとなると汗{あせ}が止まらない{とまらない}。
暑い。風がないとなると、なおさら汗が止まらない。

It feels even hotter because of the lack of wind.(sentence from goo dictionary, which in turn gets its entries from the dictionary Daijisen Digital)
It's hot; all the worse that there's no wind.
It's hot. Compounded by the lack of wind, I'm dripping sweat.
It's hot. Compounded by the lack of wind, I'm dripping sweat.

A subtlety I should point out between 3 and 4 is thatXbox One or PC. However, the trial doesn't feature all of Battlefield 1's content. It includes two single-player missions and four modes and five maps for multiplayer. Progress you make in the trial will carry over to the full game.

Additionally, if you purchase the Early Enlister Deluxe edition, you'll gain early access on October 18 to the entire game without a time restriction. Access members will also be able to play the full game at this time, as long as they have time left in their trial.

buddy. Your business partner. Your math teacher. Your math student. Your cab driver or car salesman or senator. Using the cloak of the Internet as a disguise, Maxwellhill flits in and out of our lives as a superhero would. Only instead of saving a mass of screaming citizens from an out-of-control train, s/he protects our daily lives from boredom with a steady stream of well-selected content from around the Net.

From what I can tell, though, Maxwellhill isn't just trying to be mysterious; he/she is trying to be successful. Maxwellhill's ascent to power was deliberate and skillful. The million karma points were a goal, not an accident. It's a powerful lesson in the user-driven Internet, and it's counter-intuitive one as well: Take the person out of the equation anda book.

A time of fear and panic

For Europe, the Great Pestilence was a disaster. It spread rapidly, about two miles a day, along the ports of the Mediterranean to Spain, overland across the Alps and the Pyrenees into France and Germany, north to Scandinavia and across the North Sea to Britain and Ireland and as far as Iceland and Greenland.

Families fled, leaving sick relatives to fend for themselves. Law and order barely existed and essential services collapsed. Doctors could do nothing.

The rich fled into the countryside, but the pestilence followed them. Some towns ordered that infected houses be walled up,


only real measure that was effective? Quarantining wouldn't have worked if the plague was spread by rats, because the rats would have escaped from quarantined houses and villages and continued to spread the disease.

Was the Black Death a virus?

There had to be some other means of transmisson than the rat/flea/human pathway. It made much more sense if transmission was from person to person — by an airborne particle — probably a virus, argue Duncan and Scott.

Medieval descriptions of the Black Death — where dark spots appear in the skin — sound more like viral hemorrhagic fever, similar to modern day Ebola, than bubonic plague, they say.

If so, it would explain why it spread so quickly. The virus, they argue, had a long incubation period of aboutsagittarius

third connector design using the same concept and shape, but with smaller dimensions is defined for a third group of connectors intended for use with enteral applications. Again, the dimensions have been chosen so that inter-connectivity among different types of connectors is prevented.
Even in the era when ISO 594 was used to define Luer connectors for breathing systems, and consequently for Capnography applications, it was noted that the defined design for the Luer may not have been optimal for Capnography. Somewhat unique to Capnography, where accurate display of the CO2 waveform as created by ever changing inhalation and exhalation stages of breathing is necessary, major attention must be given to how the sampled breath is transferred from the patient to the measuring device.

July 29 on Item 28, the Board of Supervisors crossed the line into absolute despotism by denying the people the right to vote on the Yellow Petition, “Restore Measure Y – No More Paper Roads.” They violated the 1st Amendment right to free speech and right of the people to petition the government for redress of grievances, in addition to violating the 14th Amendment right to equal protection under the law. Arguably, the BOS also violated the 9th, 10th and 26th Amendments.

But they didn’t stop there. The BOS also violated the county Code of Ethics codes No. 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 12. Supervisor Briggs even failed to disclose that his son worked on thecushions are commonly die-cut from foam sheets resulting in angular edges that may uncomfortably dig into the user's skin and leave marks on the user's face. Processes used to cut the cushions may involve cutting an oblong cushion from a foam sheet, resulting in the generation of wasted foam material that is discarded following the cutting. Additionally, such cushions may poorly dissipate heat during use, resulting in discomfort to the user and fogging of the headset lenses and eyeglasses worn by the user. While covers may be placed over the cushions to mitigate discomfort from the angular foam edges, such covers may add undesirable bulk to the facial interfaces and may further prevent dissipation of heat during use.
