She is one of more than 62,000 seniors and disabled people in Massachusetts who will continue to see significant savings on prescription drugs from a provision in the law that is gradually narrowing a gap in Medicare drug coverage called the “donut hole.” Under the law, she now only pays half the cost — $200 — of a 60-day supply of one of her heart drugs.

They recommended the Conformable casts. Kayli went to get fitted last Friday, and went home with them the same day. The casts are open at the front of the leg, and Velcro'd together for easy access. We can take Kayli's casts off for bathing, aquatic therapy, and time in the stander. While in the stander, Kayli will wear her AFO's for firmer support. So far, Kayli's feet and ankles look like they are healing well, and her feet are still correcting. We will go back in a couple of weeks, to adjust her feet positioning back into a 90 degree bend.

The inside of the casts are made of a very soft and plush cotton, so Kayli does not need to wear socks


I didn't know why I chose him, but I have faith that God does. It is his to keep, because he has Jesus in his life. With tears swelling in his and my eyes, and as he stared at the bill in his hand, I thanked him, and drove off with such love in my heart. Love for my fellow follower, and love for our mentor and best friend, in Jesus Christ. What an exhilarating feeling, to give something that I needed, to someone who also needed it. Not necessarily for monetary value, but for a reminder of our unconditional faith in God. <3

Recalling the Potassium overdose, a year ago: Kayli had some pre operative blood work done for her spine surgeries. We got awhen she passed away for 32 minutes (at 4 months old), I saw a shell of a body. That was it. Her soul was gone, and she was a confused, lost little girl. That's when it hit me. Kayli did not know what was happening to her! She is not in her body, and her soul was nowhere to be seen. How would she know she was dead, if she wasn't present for her death?!!! Kayli left her body so that she was not suffering, but I just couldn't let her go without HER making the choice to die! For the first time in her 4 years of life, I begged for Kayli to come back to me. I begged her to stay with me, and not leave

Here’s the third installment of my blog about my book launch and


success. Even though most of the people there were family and friends, selling sixty-one books was way more than I had expected. Hopefully, I’ll be able to repeat that experience again and again.

Saturday, May 14, 2011

I'm going to write about the book launch and signing of Leaving the Hall Light On in three parts: Preparation, The Actual Event, and Lessons Learned.

Part One: PreparationI think the worst part of the preparation stage was waiting for the book signing to happen. I booked it for the first Thursday after the book's release at Pages, my local independent bookstore, several months in advance, and I started to stress right away. I always stress before speaking in public and always end up calming down right before I speak, so it’s really thelogged in about fifteen minutes before my six o’clock evening start time. A few people were already there – I could tell from the list on the right sidebar. The group leader was also there and said she was relieved to know I managed to successfully get in. Then she had me test how many words I could type in the little input box before the application cut me off. It turned out to be about two and a quarter lines of text. She said I could keep “talking” if I hit return at the end of my limit. I would then get another input box that allowed me to continue.

Now all of that works very well in practice and through the first few questions that were one

Today would be my dad’s birthday. He died in 1975 at the age of seventy-two after a year and half battle with cancer of the bile duct system. Who knows where that came from? He always lived very healthy. He was trim, he was an early advocate of health foods and one of the first health food gurus Gaylord Hauser, he didn’t smoke, and drank only moderately. I always worried a heart attack would take him since he had one at age fifty-seven, probably caused by stress. Perhaps stress was what caused his cancer. He sure had his share of it – from my motherand from major business setbacks toward the end of his life.

He was a quiet guy and kept most of his thoughts and feelings inside. That could have caused his cancer as well. I’ve heard if we let emotions out it’s better for our health.

What I most admire him for was his sense of family – he always protected us and encouraged us. He also was creative. He played the violin as a youngster, and he made sure my siblings and I studied music – we all learned to play piano. Plus he knew about interior design. As a textile salesman and fabric designer he had a wonderful eye for how to furnish our homes. I think I got my love of beauty and music from him.

has been a horrendous loss, he left me with the wonderful gift of writing, especially poetry. Poems just came spontaneously after he died, and now I integrate writing poetry into the rest of my writing life.

Another gift is that is that I was able to create a book about him and his bipolar disorder and how my family and I survived his suicide. I wrote it let others know about the dangers of bipolar disorder and the frustrations of caring for an adult child with bipolar, that it is possible to survive the death of a child, and to keep Paul’s memory alive. Even if I don’t make a cent from book sales, if my book, Leaving the Hall Light On, benefits others I’ll feel it is aThe long-term objective of this study is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie axon development and the establishment of neuronal polarity. The ability of neuronal cells to polarize is essential for the organization of the nervous system and has profound functional implications. Typically, a neuron polarizes to elaborate one long axon and multiple, shorter dendrites so as to transmit and receive information and establish the circuitry that is critical for normal cognitive functions. Moreover, abundant evidence indicates that loss of neuronal polarity is associated with numerous neurodegenerative diseases. Thus understanding the machineries involved in neuronal polarization is of utmost importance to human health. The initial event in establishing a polarized neuron is the development of a single axon. We have recently identified DOCK7 as a


novel activator of Rac GTPases, and demonstrated that the protein plays a crucial role in early steps of axon development. Moreover, our data have unveiled a link between DOCK7 and the microtubule regulatory protein, stathmin, and highlight the contribution of microtubule network regulation to axon development. These findings provide a unique framework for obtaining novel insight into the molecular and cellular underpinnings of axon development. This application aims to delineate further the role and mechanism of DOCK7 function in this important developmental step. Towards these goals, the first specific aim will characterize the signaling pathway that mediates the effect of DOCK7 on stathmin phosphorylation and axon development. Specific aim 2 focuses on the regulation of DOCK7, including the mechanisms that define how DOCK7 becomes activated and selectively localizedvariability. We find that Vk and the S-based measures are highly correlated for the immunoglobulins. We show by analysis of sequence data and by means of a mathematical model that this correlation is due to a strong tendency for the frequency of occurrence of amino acid types at a given position to be log-linear. It is not known whether the immunoglobulins are typical or atypical of protein families in this regard, nor is the origin of the observed rank-frequency distribution obvious, although we discuss several possible etiologies.

Answer i got is 'false' even though i put up a wait of 60 sec.
Don't know why unable to locate presence of Element....

A:

mydynamicElement has probably been located successfully, but it is hidden. You are not asking Selenium to find ONLY if the element displayed with presenceOfElementLocated.
Meaning presenceOfElementLocated and  visibilityOfElementLocated are not same. I believe you are looking for visibilityOfElementLocated. See the API doc here

was hailed as a powerful and beautiful last message (one letter to the editor in Toronto’s weekly NOW Magazinecompared it to Tennyson’s Ulysses).The emotional outpouring began that morning with simple Twitter and Facebook messages, but by the end of the day, the movement had erupted. Nathan Phillips Square, the public space in front of Toronto City Hall, was quickly covered in messages written out in chalk, and a memorial of flowers and pictures of Layton appeared at the base of the building. Newspapers and magazines across Canada donned headlines such as, “The Country Grieves a Hero," “Reaction to Jack Layton’s death: ‘Canadian hearts are breaking’," “Timeline of a Political Genius," and “There’s a little bit of Jack Layton in all of us."

The following day, an editorial written bycontroversial columnist Christie Blatchford criticized the outpouring and the now famous letter. The article was immediately pegged as blasphemous and Blatchford was berated by fellow members of the media, politicians, and in letters-to-the-editor of newspapers and magazines across the country. The state funerals, held in Ottawa on Friday and in Toronto on Saturday, attracted crowds from across the province, some lining up for hours to catch a view of the casket or the big screen on which the service was being shown. I visited Nathan Phillips Square later in the week and saw strangers crying at his makeshift memorial. This response is reminiscent of only one event in my memory: the death of Princess Diana.

of a sebaceous cyst).
Sebaceous cysts are common, and usually occur in areas such as the scalp, face, earlobes, neck, shoulders and back, but can occur anywhere there is skin. There doesn't seem to be any gender preference, and I have seen them in children (rare) and in adults. The longer a sebaceous cyst exists (and they tend to be slow growing over many years), the larger it tends to become, to the point where it simply starts to become visibly obvious or of a size that becomes bothersome. A small skin lump that rapidly increases in size and discomfort, is most likely to be an infected sebaceous cyst and medical advice should be sort.
Often confused with sebaceous cysts are Lipomas. These are non-cancerous fatty lumps often just underForever and Ever (Demis Roussos album)

Forever and Ever is an album by Greek singer Demis Roussos. It was released in 1973 on Philips Records. A greatly popular album, it also topped the international albums charts in Germany, Netherlands and Norway and was number 2 in Austria.

In 1973 Roussos released a Spanish-language version of this album, titled Eternamente.

good quality observational studies must continue to be done.

Some health outcomes, such as ‘injuries,’ yielded very few studies, and as such it is difficult to generalize the findings and extrapolate results to other settings; caution is needed in interpretation of these results, and more research is needed on several topics in order to strengthen the evidence base.

Reporting bias is very likely (as severe droughts are more likely to be reported and associated with adverse health outcomes), which is one of several reasons why quantitative meta-analysis is neither possible nor sensible in order to quantify impact of drought. Important lessons on how to successfully manage drought to avert/minimise health effects may have been missed.

This review did not address conflict, either as an exposure variable (i.e., in the case ofcall of the Hyogo Framework for Action.

Forecasting can be used to provide advance warning of the increased risk of adverse climate conditions and can support the disaster risk reduction process. In the short to medium term, robust warning and response systems available to resource-rich developed countries often mitigate many of the worst adverse health effects of drought. The downside of this success is that the health risks of drought may be insufficiently appreciated in these contexts. In the longer term, climate change is likely to lead to more frequent and severe droughts in certain areas of the world. Even wealthy countries’ drought management systems may eventually become overwhelmed and as this happens, the impacts of drought could become correspondingly more marked.

Speciation has a spatial scale that depends on levels of gene flow.
Area is generally assumed to affect speciation rates, but work on the spatial context of speciation has focused mostly on patterns of range overlap between emerging species rather than on questions of geographical scale. A variety of geographical theories of speciation predict that the probability of speciation occurring within a given region should (1) increase with the size of the region and (2) increase as the spatial extent of intraspecific gene flow becomes smaller. Using a survey of speciation events on isolated oceanic islands for a broad range of taxa, we find evidence for both predictions. The probability of in situ speciation scales with island area in bats, carnivorous mammals, birds, flowering plants, lizards, butterflies and moths,and snails. Ferns are an exception to these findings, but they exhibit high frequencies of polyploid and hybrid speciation, which are expected to be scale independent. Furthermore, the minimum island size for speciation correlates across groups with the strength of intraspecific gene flow, as is estimated from a meta-analysis of published population genetic studies. These results indicate a general geographical model of speciation rates that are dependent on both area and gene flow. The spatial scale of population divergence is an important but neglected determinant of broad-scale diversity patterns.

ACA Marketplaces Expand Coverage for Chronically Ill

Enrollees have more chronic conditions, health care use versus other privately insured individuals

HealthDay News — The Affordable Care Act's Marketplaces covered a disproportionate share of non-elderly adults with high health care risks in the 2014 to 2015 time period, according to a study published in the April issue of Health Affairs.

Michael Karpman, from the Urban Institute in Washington, D.C., and colleagues assessed use of private non-group health insurance through federal and state-based Marketplaces among non-elderly adults with chronic conditions from July 2014 to December 2015.

Non-selective benzodiazepines are a class of sedative and anxiolytic medication that are commonly prescribed. Physiology studies and animal studies suggest that non-selective benzodiazepines may adversely impact respiration through a variety of mechanisms. Several recent, well-designed, population-based observational studies confirm that benzodiazepine-related negative respiratory outcomes are a concern. In this article, the mechanisms and clinical evidence for non-selective benzodiazepine-related adverse respiratory outcomes, as well as the methodological issues relating to the evaluation of adverse drug effects are reviewed.

good enough on this wicket, but that was before Alastair Cook and Nick Compton came out to bat, determined not to have another batting collapse like in Ahmedabad. They managed that too, with a 66 run partnership before Ojha struck with two quick wickets. That put the ball back in India's court, but only just. And then Pietersen came out, suspect against left-arm spin and under pressure to score, and managed nicely to get to an unbeaten 62 and putting on 110 with Cook.

After many years of waiting, the public can finally take a close look at the much anticipated environmental report for the East Bay Bus Rapid Transit Project. The report includes designs for bike lanes on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland and on E. 12 St in the East Lake District and we are happy to report that the new buses will be bike-friendly with space inside of the cars for bike storage. Most importantly, the East Bay Bus Rapid Transit Project promises to significantly increase walking, biking and transit usage on Telegraph Ave and International Blvd. corridors.


Pharmacological modulation of brain activity in a preclinical model of osteoarthritis.
The earliest stages of osteoarthritis are characterized by peripheral pathology; however, during disease progression chronic pain emerges-a major symptom of osteoarthritis linked to neuroplasticity. Recent clinical imaging studies involving chronic pain patients, including osteoarthritis patients, have demonstrated that functional properties of the brain are altered, and these functional changes are correlated with subjective behavioral pain measures. Currently, preclinical osteoarthritis studies have not assessed if functional properties of supraspinal pain circuitry are altered, and if these functional properties can be modulated by pharmacological therapy either by direct or indirect action on brain systems. In the current study, functional connectivity was first assessed in order to characterize the functional neuroplasticity occurring in the rodent medial meniscus tear (MMT) model ofthough other print jobs ahead in the queue may not have any time constraints and could easily be postponed until after the rush job is completed. The fact that the first user places great importance on printing their print job as fast as possible goes unnoticed by the printer, resulting in an impatient and often frustrated user.
Accordingly, there is a need for an improved printing scheme in the networked printing environment that prioritizes print jobs according to the importance ascribed by individual users.

The above argument hints at the Method of Characteristics. This analogy is not justified, as the problem at hand is dispersive and energy spreads along phase or group velocity rays, rather than travels along them. As such, the above argument is entirely heuristic but, with hindsight, it provides some intuition.

One of the strengths of the Fokas Method for solving linear PDEs is the straightforward way it enables determination of the number and type of boundary conditions required for a well-posed problem [@DeconinckTrogdonVasan; @FokasBook; @FokasPelloni4]. Previous papers by us and others [@Asvestas; @DeconinckPelloniSheils; @Mantzavinos; @SheilsDeconinck_PeriodicHeat; @SheilsDeconinck_LS; @SheilsDeconinck_LSp; @SheilsSmith] have shown that


formerly state-controlled public services are made feasible by shifting the responsibility for them to communities, individuals, local enterprises and charities. From this it may also be implied that the Big Society has followed the lead of New Labour in advocating 'buzz words' from communitarian thinking in order to attempt to deviate from 'traditional' political thought and attempt to make changes to the UK along the lines of increasing community and individual participation. The difference herein lies in that the Big Society is concerned with devolving the influence of the state, whereas New Labour were concerned with changing the relationship between individuals and the state.

Spending cuts to public services undermine any communitarian basis to Big Society thinking, particularly when it is revealed that whilst voluntary and community organisations havea punitive benefits system and drastically pared-down public services, and more polarisation between rich and poor neighbourhoods. Unpaid labour and the charitable and voluntary sectors are due to fill the gaps left by public services, providing support to increasing numbers of poor, jobless, insecure and unsupported individuals and families" (Coote, 2010; 2).

Regarding the issue of increasing community participation, Schmuecker (2011) highlights community capacity is not evenly distributed, therefore some areas are unready to take increased power and responsibility. Marginal voices may be ignored or go unheard in plans to increase participation within communities, as neighbourhoods of geographically defined communities may marginalise or 'drown out' minority voices, on this issue, the Big Society proposes no safeguards to prevent tyranny, racism or exclusion.

Some may argue that increasing community participation and


cohesion is a valid aim for government; however Dorling (2011) assesses the double standards shown in government rhetoric towards these issues, highlighting the main group who seem to be concerned over community cohesion are the wealthiest in society. Dorling (ibid) reveals that many government officials, including Prime Minister David Cameron, own more than one home, and questions the capacity for double (plus) homeowners to properly know and understand their neighbours. In this case, Dorling (ibid) shows that levels of community cohesion and participation may be seen to be low in affluent areas, yet these are the places unmentioned in plans to restore segregated communities.

Ultimately, themes of communitarianism linked to idealised views of increasing community participation as a tactic for solving social ills is pervasive in many areas ofAs we come up on President Trump’s first anniversary in office, we can look back on a year that has been tremendous for the US economy.

Much to the chagrin of virtually every Democrat — and probably half of the Republicans — Trump has completely changed the landscape of the economy, and many Americans have enjoyed the fruits of higher wages and more robust retirement funds.

For starters, the president’s work ethic is contagious. The guy went to work for the American worker right after the election, well before being sworn in as president.

He jumped into negotiating with Carrier in order to keep Indiana-based factory jobs from moving to Mexico. And while it was a small victory, the statement was very big.

Trump’s action showed that no job is too small


“Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” With guns.

The NRA has bitterly fought background checks on gun-buyers, in effect granting even criminals and the mentally ill the right to own arsenals of death-dealing weaponry.

The NRA has spent millions on slick advertising campaigns to win new members and frighten them into buying guns.

The NRA has spent millions on political contributions to block gun-control legislation.

The NRA has spent millions attacking political candidates and elected officials who warned about the dangers of unrestricted access to assault and/or concealed weapons.

The NRA has spent millions pushing “Stand Your Ground” laws in more than half the states, which potentially give every citizen a “license to kill.”

The NRA receives millions of dollars from online sales of ammunition, high-capacity ammunition magazines, and other accessories through its4 million members, who focus most of their time lobbying Congress for unlimited “gun rights.”

The NRA claims that its mission is to “protect” the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

NRA members conveniently ignore the first half of that sentence: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State….”

For the NRA, the Second Amendment is the Constitution, and the rest of the document is a mere appendage.

At the time Congress ratified the Constitution in 1788, the United States was not a world power. Only after World War II did the country maintain a powerful standing army


rights movement and ushered in a decade of activism and bloodshed as blacks sought to de-segregate the South.

Nor did the Zimmerman case even carry the weight of the 1985-6 Mafia Commission trial. There Federal prosecutors convicted the heads of the five most powerful Mafia “families” in the country and sent them to prison.

While individual Mafiosi had been sent to prison, this was the first time the top leadership of all major Mafia “families” had been virtually wiped out.

It signaled a turning point in the fight against organized crime, with Federal investigators and prosecutors finally learning how to use the 10-year-old Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act to their advantage.

Fifth, televising the trial meant the networks–especially CNN–didn’t have to do anything. They didn’t have to send reporters into thestreets to dig up information. All that was necessary was to let the camera show what was happening in the courtroom.

Sixth, when each day’s televised proceedings came to an end, CNN and other networks could easily round up a series of “talking heads” to pontificate on the meaning of it all.

These people had no more idea than the average viewer of what impact–if any–that day’s events would have on the legal fate of George Zimmerman.

But it gave CNN a chance to use up airtime that could have otherwise gone on stories like the national debt, Detroit declaring bankruptcy and the Supreme Court rejecting an Arizona law requiring voters to prove their citizenship.

Seventh, the networks could count on a controversial outcome no matter what the verdict.

If Zimmerman were convicted,


his white supporters would be outraged and his black detractors overjoyed. And if Zimmerman were acquitted–which is what actually happened–then the opposite reactions would occur.

Either way, there was certain to be angry demonstrators in the street. For the networks this would hopefully include a full replay of the race riots which shook the nation following the police beating of Rodney King in 1992 and the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1968.

Eighth, if rioting erupted, CNN and other networks would rush news cameras to the scenes of carnage and claim they were doing this “in the finest traditions of journalism” to keep the public fully informed.

In reality, they would be doing it to keep their ratings up.

If any of this seems familiar, it’s because–unfortunately–it is.

They see this as a personal rejection. Perhaps it reminds many of them of their own failures in romance/marriage.

The Right is made up overwhelmingly of white males. And many of these men would feel entirely at home with a Christianized version of the Taliban. They long for a world where women meekly cater to their every demand and believe only what their male masters approve for them to believe.

The trouble for these men is they don’t speak Arabic.

Seventh, many leaders of the fetus-fanatics movement are independently wealthy. This means that even if abortion could be outlawed for the vast majority, they could always bribe a willing doctor-–here or abroad-–to perform such an operation on their


Every gardener longs for plants that have a long bloom period and require low maintenance.

But what exactly are the qualifications of a low-maintenance perennial? Drought tolerance should be high up on the list, along with disease and insect resistance. The plant should not need frequent dividing or take over the garden and it should survive with little care for at least four years.

There are many wonderful perennial plants on the market that can be labeled low-maintenance. When considering the addition of some new perennials, determine whether the location is sunny or shady most of the day, and pick plants that are suitable to your site. Prepare the bed well by removing any weeds and adding lots of compost.

Sun- loving Baptisia “Twilite Prairie Blues,” also known as Wild Indigofirst place where some algebraic topology is needed. The “décalage" formula $K_n\Sigma R=K_{n-1}R$ via Karoubi’s suspension is proved, and some some of the deep results of Suslin and Wodzicki on excision are discussed. Then the fundamental theorem for $K$-theory is reviewed, and its formal connection to Bott periodicity via the algebraic Toeplitz extension is established. The next section is the first of three devoted to the comparison between algebraic and topological $K$-theory of topological algebras. Using Higson’s homotopy invariance theorem, and the excision results of Suslin and Wodzicki, we give proofs of the $C^*$- and Banach variants of Karoubi’s conjecture, that algebraic and topological $K$-theory become isomorphic after stabilizing with respect to the ideal of compact operators (theorems of Suslin-Wodzicki and Wodzicki, respectively). Section \[sec:topk2\] defines two variants


of topological $K$-theory for locally convex algebras: $KV^{{\rm dif}}$ and $KD$ which are formally analogue to $KV$ and $KH$. Some of their basic properties are similar and derived with essentially the same arguments as their algebraic counterparts. We also give a proof of Bott periodicity for $KD$ of locally convex algebras stabilized by the algebra of smooth compact operators. The proof uses the locally convex Toeplitz extension, and is modelled on Cuntz’ proof of Bott periodicity for his bivariant $K$-theory of locally convex algebras. In Section \[sec:compa2\] we review some of the results of [@cot]. Using the homotopy invariance theorem of Cuntz and Thom, we show that $KH$ and $KD$ agree on locally convex algebras stabilized by Fréchet operator ideals. The spectra for Quillen’s and Weibel’s $K$-theory, andLet $H$ be a separable Hilbert space over ${\mathbb{C}}$; put ${{\mathcal{B}}}={{\mathcal{B}}}(H)$ for the algebra of bounded operators. Write ${\mathcal{K}}\subset {\mathcal{B}}$ for the ideal of compact operators, and ${{\mathcal{F}}}$ for that of finite rank operators. The Riesz-Schauder theorem from elementary operator theory implies that if $\lambda\in{\mathbb{C}}^*$ and $T\in {\mathcal{K}}$ then there exists an $f\in{{\mathcal{F}}}$ such that $\lambda+T+f$ is invertible in ${\mathcal{B}}$. In fact one checks that if ${{\mathcal{F}}}\subset I\subset{\mathcal{K}}$ is an ideal of ${{\mathcal{B}}}$ such that $T\in I$ then the inverse of $\lambda+T+f$ is again in ${\mathbb{C}}\oplus I$. Hence the ring $$R_I:={\mathbb{C}}\oplus I/{{\mathcal{F}}}$$ is local, and thus $K_0(R_I)={\mathbb{Z}}$.

\[rem:k0projmod\]([*$K_0$ from projective modules*]{}) In the literature, $K_0$ of a unital ring is often defined in terms of finitely generated projective modules. This approach is equivalent to ours, as we shall see


ring $R$ together with a unit preserving ring homomorphism $\infty:R\to R$, $a\mapsto a^\infty$ such that $$\label{ainfi}
a\boxplus a^\infty=a^\infty\qquad (a\in R).$$

\[prop:sumring\] Let ${\mathfrak{D}}$ be an additive category, $F:{\mathfrak{Ass}}\to{\mathfrak{D}}$ a functor, and $R$ a sum ring. Assume that the sum of projection maps $\gamma=F\pi_0+F\pi_1:F(R\times R)\to FR\oplus FR$ is an isomorphism, and that $F$ is $M_2$-stable on both $R$ and $M_2R$. Then the composite $$\xymatrix{F(R)\oplus F(R)\ar[r]^(0.6){\gamma^{-1}} &F(R\times R)\ar[rr]^{F(\boxplus)}&&F(R)}$$ is the codiagonal map; that is, it restricts to the identity on each copy of $F(R)$. If moreover $R$ is an infinite sum ring, then $F(R)=0$.

Let $j_0,j_1:R\to R\times R$, $j_0(x)=(x,0)$, $j_1(x)=(0,x)$. Note that $\gamma^{-1}=Fj_0+Fj_1$. Because $F$ is $M_2$-stable on both $R$ and $M_2R$, $F(\boxplus)F(j_i)=1_{F(R)}$, by Proposition \[prop:vw\]. Thus $F(\boxplus)\circ\gamma^{-1}$ is the codiagonal map, as claimed. It follows that if $\alpha,\beta:R\to R$ are homomorphisms, thenresults of the previous section on topological $K$-theory of Banach algebras have algebraic analogues valid for all rings. We shall not consider continuous homotopies for general rings, among other reasons, because in general they do not carry any interesting topologies. Instead, we shall consider polynomial homotopies. Two ring homomorphisms $f_0,f_1:A\to B$ are called [*elementary homotopic*]{} if there exists a ring homomorphism $H:A\to B[t]$ such that the following diagram commutes $$\xymatrix{& B[t]\ar[d]^{({{\rm ev}}_0,{{\rm ev}}_1)}\\
          A\ar[ur]^H\ar[r]_{(f_0,f_1)}&  B}$$ Two homomorphisms $f,g:A\to B$ are [*homotopic*]{} if there is a finite sequence $(f_i)_{0\le i\le n}$ of homomophisms such that $f=f_0$, $f_n=g$, and such that for all $i$, $f_i$ is homotopic to $f_{i+1}$. We write $f\sim
g$ to indicate that $f$ is homotopic to $g$.


invariant.

\[lem:stab\] Let $G$ be a functor from $C^*$-algebras to abelian groups. Assume that $G$ is $M_2$-stable. Then the functor $F(A):=G(A{\overset{\sim}\otimes}{\mathcal{K}})$ is ${\mathcal{K}}$-stable.

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space. The canonical isomorphism ${\mathbb{C}}^2\otimes_2 H\cong H\oplus H$ induces an isomorphism ${\mathcal{K}}{\overset{\sim}\otimes}{\mathcal{K}}\to M_2{\mathcal{K}}$ which makes the following diagram commute $$\xymatrix{{\mathcal{K}}{\overset{\sim}\otimes}{\mathcal{K}}\ar[rr]^{\cong}&& M_2{\mathcal{K}}\\
                 &{\mathcal{K}}\ar[ul]^{e_{11}\otimes 1}\ar[ur]^{\iota_1}&}$$ Since $G$ is $M_2$-stable by hypothesis, it follows that $F(1_A{\overset{\sim}\otimes}e_{1,1}{\overset{\sim}\otimes}1_{\mathcal{K}})$ is an isomorphism for all $A$.

The following result, due to Suslin and Wodzicki, is (one of the variants of) what is known as Karoubi’s conjecture [@karcomp].

\[thm:karconc\*\][@qs 10.9] Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Then there is a natural isomorphism $K_n(A{\overset{\sim}\otimes}{\mathcal{K}})=K^{{\rm top}}_n(A{\overset{\sim}\otimes}{\mathcal{K}})$.

By definition $K_0=K_0^{{\rm top}}$ on all $C^*$-algebras. By Example \[exa:ubau\] andmany, it is Fréchet; summing up ${{\mathfrak{K}}}$ is an $m$-Féchet algebra. We have a map $$e_{11}:{\mathbb{C}}\to {\mathfrak{K}}, z\mapsto e_{11}z$$ Whenever we refer to ${\mathfrak{K}}$-stability below, we shall mean stability with respect to the functor ${\mathfrak{K}}{\hat{\otimes}}-$ and the map $e_{11}$.

#### Smooth Toeplitz algebra.

The [*smooth Toeplitz algebra*]{} ([@cd 1.5]), is the free $m$-algebra ${\mathcal{T}}^{{\rm sm}}$ on two generators $\alpha$, $\alpha^*$ subject to $\alpha\alpha^*=1$. As in the $C^*$-algebra case, there is a commutative diagram with exact rows and split exact columns $$\xymatrix{0\ar[r]&{\mathfrak{K}}\ar@{=}[d]\ar[r]&{\mathcal{T}}^{{\rm sm}}_0\ar[r]\ar[d]&\Omega^{{\rm dif}}{\mathbb{C}}\ar[r]\ar[d]&0\\
          0\ar[r]&{\mathfrak{K}}\ar[r]&{\mathcal{T}}^{{\rm sm}}\ar[r]\ar[d]&{\mathcal{C}}^\infty(S^1,{\mathbb{C}})\ar[r]\ar[d]_{{{\rm ev}}_1}&0\\
&&{\mathbb{C}}\ar@{=}[r]&{\mathbb{C}}&}$$ Here ${\mathcal{T}}^{{\rm sm}}_0$ is defined so that the middle column be exact, and we use the exponential map to identify $\Omega^{{\rm dif}}{\mathbb{C}}$ with the kernel of the evaluation map. Moreover the construction of ${\mathcal{T}}^{{\rm sm}}$


this together with and using the homotopy exact sequence of , we get $$\pi_n\GL{\Delta}\Omega A=\pi_{n+1}\GL{\Delta}A \qquad(n\ge 0).$$ The inductive step is immediate from this.

Let $L$ be a locally convex algebra. Consider the [*geometric $n$-simplex*]{} $${\mathbb{A}}^n:=\{(x_0,\dots,x_n)\in{\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}:\sum x_i =1 \}\supset
\Delta^n:=\{x\in {\mathbb{A}}^n:x_i\ge 0 \ (0\le i\le n)\}.$$ If $L$ is a locally convex algebra, we write $${\Delta^{{\rm dif}}}_n L:={\mathcal{C}}^\infty(\Delta^n,L).$$ Here, ${\mathcal{C}}^\infty(\Delta^n, -)$ denotes the locally convex vectorspace of all those functions on $\Delta^n$ which are restrictions of ${\mathcal{C}}^\infty$-functions on ${\mathbb{A}}^n$. The cosimplicial structure on $[n]\mapsto\Delta^n$ induces a simplicial one on ${\Delta^{{\rm dif}}}L$. In particular, ${\Delta^{{\rm dif}}}L$ is a simplicial locally convex algebra, and $\GL({\Delta^{{\rm dif}}}L)$ is a simplicial group.

[i)]{} Prove that $KV_n^{{\rm dif}}L=\pi_{n-1}\GL({\Delta^{{\rm dif}}}L)$ $(n\ge
1)$.

[ii)]{} Let $A$ be a Banach algebra. Consider the simplicial Banach algebra $\Delta_*^{{\rm top}}A={\mathcal{C}}(\Delta^*,A)$ and the simplcialand nilinvariant.

[ii)]{}(Cuntz-Quillen, [@cq]) $HP$ satisfies excision for ${\mathbb{Q}}$-algebras; to each exact sequence of ${\mathbb{Q}}$-algebras, there corresponds a $6$-term exact sequence $$\label{seq:exciper}
\xymatrix{HP_0A\ar[r]&HP_0B\ar[r]&HP_0C\ar[d]\\ HP_1C\ar[u]&HP_1B\ar[l]&HP_1A\ar[l]}$$

The sequence comes from an exact sequence of complexes, and thus, via the Dold-Kan correspondence, it corresponds to a homotopy fibration of spectra $$\label{seq:spt_sbi}
\Omega^{-1}{\mathbb{HC}}A\to{\mathbb{HN}}A\to{\mathbb{HP}}A$$ Similarly, the excision sequence comes from a cofibration sequence in the category of pro-supercomplexes [@cv]; applying the Dold-Kan functor and taking homotopy limits yields a homotopy fibration of Bott-periodic spectra $$\label{seq:sptexciper}
{\mathbb{HP}}A\to{\mathbb{HP}}B\to{\mathbb{HP}}C$$ The sequence is recovered from after taking homotopy groups.

Primary Chern character and infinitesimal $K$-theory.
-----------------------------------------------------

The main or primary character is a map going from $K$-theory to negative cyclic homology $$c_n:K_nA\to HN_nA\qquad (n\in{\mathbb{Z}}).$$ (See [@lod Ch. 8, Ch. 11] for its definition). This group homomorphism is induced by a map of spectra $${\mathbb{K}}A\to {\mathbb{HN}}A$$

However, most of this work has been done in animal models or humans infected with intestinal parasites, making it difficult to separate systemic immunological changes from effects local to the intestinal niche. In contrast, while it can occasionally localize to the enteric system (particularly during heavy infection or co-infection with *S*. *mansoni*)^[@CR51],[@CR52]^, *S*. *haematobium* primarily lives within the vasculature surrounding the bladder and thus provides an opportunity to study whether helminth infection can impact the microbiome indirectly via systemic immunological or other changes that may disrupt gut homeostasis.

The cheapest races for locals are in Austria, Canada and Malaysia (less than 4% of the monthly wage), whilst the most expensive are in the Middle East, Mexico and Brazil (13-26% of the monthly wage).

It’s unlikely that such high prices will be lowered significantly in the near future without change to F1’s business model.

Another thing we wanted to do was make your early game units like interceptors and bombers useful in late game so you can upgrade them and give them special abilities.

Laparoscopy has been championed by some authors^[@B11],[@B18],[@B19]^ as a routine maneuver in the evaluation of penetrating lower chest injuries to detect clinically and radiologically occult diaphragmatic injuries. In this study, laparoscopy was selectively employed to evaluate those lower chest injuries felt to be at particular risk for intra-abdominal injuries, and one diaphragmatic injury was detected and repaired. However, two of the remaining ten patients with thoracoabdominal stab wounds who underwent negative diagnostic laparoscopy manifested ongoing thoracic blood loss that necessitated return to the operating room, reinduction of general anesthesia and thoracotomy for definitive control of pulmonary parenchymal bleeding. Clearly, routine diagnostic laparoscopy in these patients resulted in initial evaluation of the wrong body cavity, and lulled us into a false sense ofsecurity regarding the extent and severity of injury. Thus, in patients with penetrating thoracoabdominal trauma and negative diagnostic laparoscopy, we now believe that diagnostic thoracoscopy should be performed before the patient leaves the operating room. The applications of thoracoscopy in the trauma patient are expanding; this technique can be used to detect and repair diaphragmatic injuries, evaluate the pericardium, and treat both ongoing and established hemothoraces.^[@B20],[@B21]^

CONCLUSIONS
===========

This experience confirms that laparoscopy is a safe and accurate tool for identifying peritoneal penetration following penetrating abdominal trauma, and adoption of this technique resulted in significant decreases in both the rate of negative laparotomy, and the hospital length of stay following a negative evaluation. One drawback is that the rate of negative laparotomy, while reduced, remains in the range of 10--20% in

These receptors therefore are generally referred to as G-protein coupled receptors. Any of the G-protein coupled receptors are known to share a common structure including 7 transmembrane domains.
The G-protein is a trimeric protein consisting of α, β and γ subunits, and in a ground state, it exists as an inactivated form (GDP-binding form) in which these subunits are associated. By the G-protein coupled receptor which has been stimulated by a ligand, the inactivated form (GDP-binding form) of the G-protein is converted to an activated form (GTP-binding form), and it is dissociated into an a subunit (Gα) which is bound to GTP, and a β/γ subunit complex (Gβγ). Then, the GTP-binding α


subunit (Gα) (or occasionally Gβγ) controls effectors such as adenlylate cyclase, phospholipase C, etc., to transduce signals.
Further, the G-protein, especially Gα, has a variety and it is known that different kinds of effectors are regulated depending on the kinds of Gα. In general, the G-protein coupled receptor activates a specific type of G-protein, through which a specific type of signal transduction is made intracellularly.
As the G-protein coupled receptor, there have been known α- and β-adrenaline receptors, muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, adenosine receptors, angiotensin receptors, endothelin receptors, gonadotropin-releasing factor receptors, H1- and H2-histamine receptors, dopamine receptors, metabotropic glutamate receptors, somatostatin receptors, etc.

Nine persons were arrested on Friday night on the charge of raping a school-going teen on the outskirts of Pollachi in Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu, police said on Saturday.

One more accused is absconding, police added.

All the accused have been booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) and section 366 (A) of IPC for the gang rape of the class 10 student, said police at the Pollachi all women’s police station. This incident rattled Pollachi since the town is yet to recover from the shock of the rape and extortion of more than 100 women by a gang which surfaced in March. That case is being probed by CBI.

According to police sources, the gang rape took place at her


boyfriend’s place, where she had gone to meet him.

“As the girl remained missing since Thursday, her father had lodged a complaint on Friday. We traced the girl’s phone number and rescued her from the outskirts of Pollachi. The teen revealed that she was raped by a gang, including her boyfriend. Hence, we searched for the accused and nabbed them on Friday,” said an inquiry officer.right, he's up there."

Navient, formerly part of Sallie Mae, manages and collects payments on more than $300 billion in federal and private-market student loans, according to the CFPB. The company services loans held by more than 12 million borrowers, including over 6 million loan accounts under its contract with the Education Department.

In its statement, Navient said borrowers with federal loans that it services are 31 percent less likely to default than their peers with loans serviced by other companies.

The problem lies in a question that asks Iraqis to define their ethnicity, aiming to get a sense of how big the country’s various ethnic groups are. Although such a question will no doubt provide interesting information for academics and analysts, it is not in Iraq’s national interest and risks destabilizing some of Iraq’s most sensitive hot spots.

The ethnicity question is particularly likely to inflame passions in areas that Kurdish leaders have said they want to incorporate into the federal Kurdistan region in northern Iraq. Along with Kurds, these areas are home to a diverse population of Arabs, Turkmens, and smaller minorities, all of which have been engaged in a tense standoff over Kurdish aspirations, which they resist almost unanimously. The situation holds the potential for violent conflict.Several incidents in these disputed areas over the past two years required U.S. commanders to establish joint military checkpoints along the so-called trigger line dividing Iraqi Army troops from Kurdish regional guards. Finding a negotiated solution to the tug of war over these areas, with the city of Kirkuk at their center, will be critical for Iraq’s future.

All sides see the census’s ethnicity question as a proto-referendum on the region’s status.Everyone assumes that in a referendum Kurds would vote in favor of accession to the Kurdistan region while the vast majority of non-Kurds would vote against. If the population in a given area is found to be majority Kurdish, the political case for linking this area to the Kurdistan region will be greatly strengthened — regardless of the

 This statute “permits the admission of evidence that MRE 404(b) precludes,” but the trial
court must still weigh the probative value and prejudicial effect of the evidence under MRE 403.
See People v Watkins, 491 Mich 450, 469-470, 486; 818 NW2d 296 (2012) (discussing the
analogous provision MCL 768.27a). Propensity evidence weighs in favor of the evidence’s
probative value, not against it. Id. at 487. Whether evidence is unduly prejudicial depends on

        (1) the dissimilarity between the other acts and the charged crime, (2) the
        temporal proximity of the other acts to the charged crime, (3) the infrequency of
        the other acts, (4) the presence of intervening acts, (5) thebelieved showed defendant with thinner eyebrows and arm scars that were not present in
his previous photographs. Detective Raisanen testified on the basis of his observation of the
photographs rather than on the basis of a technical or scientific analysis. Additionally, it was
helpful to the jury’s determination of a fact in issue because Chevrette testified that the person
who committed the arson was likely burned during it, and a change in defendant’s physical
appearance supported an inference that he was the arsonist.

       We conclude that this opinion testimony was admissible. We also conclude that, because
the evidence was admissible, trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to challenge it. See
People v Ericksen, 288 Mich App 192, 201; 793 NW2d 120 (2010) (counsel need not make futile
challenges).


 A. That’s part of the overall investigation, yes. When I was investigating
       the arson that [Evans] was believed—

               Defense counsel. You Honor, I’m going to object. He’s—he’s testifying
       to a case that is currently going to be tried. That’s—you know I don’t know as he
       can go into what results of his investigation in an arson complaint are.

               Prosecutor. And, certainly, we’re going to ask the detective that, Your
       Honor. Just—he is the officer inreasonable. We disagree. The trial court explicitly stated its intent to sentence defendant
within the guidelines. A 10-point reduction in defendant’s OV score alters his sentencing grid.
See MCL 777.64 and MCL 777.66. The trial court could not properly exercise its discretion
because it was operating on the erroneous belief that its sentence was within defendant’s
guidelines. See People v Francisco, 474 Mich 82, 88; 711 NW2d 44 (2006). Accordingly, we
conclude that resentencing is required in Docket Nos. 322319 and 322322.

        Regarding Docket Nos. 322320 and 322321, the prosecution concedes that defendant is
entitled to a remand for further proceedings under Lockridge. Accordingly, we remand for
further proceedings pursuant to United States v Crosby, 397 F3d 103 (CA 2, 2005). Lockridge,

the biggest video game in the history of video games, they grabbed a license to print money. Not only would the Atari 2600 have a sure-fire hit, their under development Atari 5200 console would have a sure-fire hit, their computer line would have a sure-fire hit, and, on top of that, the Intellivision would have a sure-fire hit, because Atari put profits before console exclusivity. To summarize, Pac-Man == $$$.

Naturally, mega hits will spawn imitators. Magnavox, the makers of the Odyssey2 system, which was one of the legitimate competitors to Atari decided to produce a Pac-Man imitator. However, since it was clear that a straight Pac-Man ripoff would get them sued, they made some changes to the game play. Keep the maze, but make change. Keep the bigMario stole from Pitfall. Gradius is Space Invaders moving forward. There are hundreds of Doom clones and GTA clones. And I can’t even tell the difference between Guitar Hero and Rock Band. All of these knock-offs should have been destroyed by the precedent set by the lawsuit, but it never seems to get used. In fact, I don’t think Magnavox was sued for their Breakout clones Blockout/Breakdown or their Space Invaders clone Alien Invaders – Plus! or their Outlaw clone Showdown in 2100 AD or their Street Racer clone Speedway or their Indy 500 clone Spin-Out or… The list can go on. Why, then, was K.C. Munchkin singled out for the attack?

Magnavox did it first, and, more importantly, Magnavox did it better. The existence of K.C. Munchkin was

Today’s winners of the lottery and owners of the win of 39,000 euros are brothers from Lithuania Andrius and Jurgis who are native Lithuanian farmers, they cultivate grain crops: wheat, rye and barley. Now their wor will become easier doe to the big lottery win.

Andrius and Jurgis, congratulations! You have become 39,000 euros richer – it is a big amount of money.

Andrius: when I started taking parts in the lotteries, I dreamed of a car. But then I decided that it would be better to inves money in my business with my brother.

Jurgis, where have you agreed to invest your win, if it’s not a secret?

Jurgis: first of all, it is a very important amount of money.

shows that for almost every real number $x$ there are infinitely many fractions $a/n$, written in lowest terms, for which $$\left|x-\frac{a}{n}\right|\le\frac{1}{n^2\log n\log\log n}.$$ Removing monotonicity from Khintchine’s Theorem is in general very difficult. This appears to have been first addressed by R. J. Duffin and A. C. Schaeffer in a 1941 paper ([@DuffinSchaeffer]), and the concluding comments of that paper have inspired the following conjecture.

For any non-negative function $\psi:{\mathbb{N}}{\rightarrow}{\mathbb{R}}$ we have that $\lambda (W_\infty (\psi))=1$ if $$\label{DSdivcond1}
\sum_{n\in{\mathbb{N}}}\lambda (A_n)=\infty$$ and $\lambda (W_\infty(\psi))=0$ otherwise.

We point out that when the sum on left of (\[DSdivcond1\]) converges it follows immediately from the Borel-Cantelli Lemma that $\lambda (W_\infty(\psi))=0$. Furthermore it is a theorem of P. Gallagher ([@Gallagher]) that the measure of the set $W_\infty(\psi)$ is always either one or zero. Although progress toward proving the Duffin-Schaeffer Conjecture hasof ‘good’ approximations in ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$:

-   The collection of points $$\label{F_neqn}
    \{a/n\in{\mathbb{Q}}: |a|\le n, (a,n)=1\}$$ is dense in ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$. This will follow from Lemma \[largepsilemma\] below.

-   As in the classical problems the quality of approximation required of an element of ${\mathbb{Q}}$ depends on it’s complexity, which we measure as the element’s absolute Weil height (i.e. the maximum of the absolute values of it’s numerator and denominator in reduced form). The reason for disallowing non-reduced fractions is mentioned in the next section.

It is logical to argue that for $n\in{\mathbb{N}}$ the collection of fractions $$\{a/n\in{\mathbb{Q}}: |a|\le n, (a,n)=1\}\cup\{n/a\in{\mathbb{Q}}: |a|\le n, (a,n)=1\}$$ is the complete choice of approximations of height $n$ in ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$. Although this choice would bring us closer to Jarnik and Lutz’s original


for some prime $p$ then the Duffin-Schaeffer Conjecture is true in all cases when the function $\psi$ is supported on the set of squarefree integers.

\[RQ\_ptransferthm\] If ($QIA_\infty$) holds then Conjecture \[Q\_pDSC\] is true for every prime $p$.

After proving Theorems \[Q\_pRtransferthm\] and \[RQ\_ptransferthm\] it will be relatively easy to deduce nontrivial results about Conjecture \[Q\_pDSC\] itself. As in the classical case one direction of the conjecture follows trivially from the Borel-Cantelli Lemma, and the nontrivial case is when (\[Q\_pDSdivcond1\]) holds. By transferring known results about the Duffin-Schaeffer Conjecture to the fields ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$ we will prove the following theorem.

\[dimonethm\] Suppose that $p$ is a prime and that $\psi$ satisfies (\[Q\_pDSdivcond1\]). Then we have that $\mu_p(W_p(\psi))=1$ whenever at least one of the following conditions is satisfied.

1.  We have that $$\sum_{\substack{n\in{\mathbb{N}}\\point of reference we begin from Jarnik and Lutz’s original setup, although with a different notation. If $p$ is a prime and $\psi$ is a non-negative arithmetical function then for each $n\in{\mathbb{N}}$ we may define ${{\mathcal}{E}}_n'={{\mathcal}{E}}_n'(\psi)\subseteq{\mathbb{Z}}_p$ by $${{\mathcal}{E}}_n'=\bigcup_{a=-n}^n\left(\left\{x\in{\mathbb{Z}}_p: \left|x-\frac{a}{n}\right|_p\le\psi (n)\right\}\cup\left\{x\in{\mathbb{Z}}_p: \left|x-\frac{n}{a}\right|_p\le\psi (n)\right\}\right),$$ and we may then define $W_p'=W_p'(\psi)\subseteq{\mathbb{Z}}_p$ by $$W_p'(\psi)=\{x\in{\mathbb{Z}}_p :x\in{{\mathcal}{E}}_n'(\psi) \text{ for infinitely many } n\in{\mathbb{N}}\}.$$ In [@Jarnik1945] and [@Lutz Theorems 4.22, 4.23] it is proved that if $\psi$ is a monotonic function which satisfies $\psi (n)<1/2n$ and other mild regularity conditions then $\mu_p (W_p'(\psi))=1$ if $$\sum_{n\in{\mathbb{N}}}n\psi (n)=\infty,$$ and $\mu_p (W_p'(\psi))=0$ otherwise. This is a $p-$adic version of Khintchine’s Theorem and a separate proof using ubiquitous systems can be found in [@BDV06 Section 12.6].

If we want to work with non-monotonic functions $\psi$ then there are a few


not change anything on the $p-$adic side of things if we round down each of the values taken by the function $\psi$ so that its range is contained in the set $\{0,1,p^{-1},p^{-2},\ldots\}$. Then Lemma \[Q\_pRoverlaplem\] is immediately applicable and we find that $$\mu_p({{\mathcal}{E}}_m(\psi)\cap{{\mathcal}{E}}_n(\psi))\le \frac{3}{2}\cdot\lambda (A_m (2\psi)\cap A_n(2\psi)).$$ For the measures of the sets $A_n$ and ${{\mathcal}{E}}_n$ we have that $$\lambda (A_n(2\psi))=2\cdot\mu_p ({{\mathcal}{E}}_n(\psi))=4\varphi (n)\psi (n),$$ and it follows that $$\limsup_{N{\rightarrow}\infty}\frac{\left(\sum_{n\le N}
    \mu_p({{\mathcal}{E}}_n(\psi))\right)^2}{\sum_{m,n\le N}
    \mu_p({{\mathcal}{E}}_m(\psi)\cap{{\mathcal}{E}}_n(\psi))}\gg\limsup_{N{\rightarrow}\infty}\frac{\left(\sum_{n\le N}
    \lambda(A_n(\psi))\right)^2}{\sum_{m,n\le N}
    \lambda(A_m(\psi)\cap A_n(\psi))}.$$ Thus the fact that ($QIA_\infty ,\psi$) holds guarantees that ($QIA_p ,\psi$) holds and it follows from Lemma \[zeroonelem\] that $\mu_p(W_p(\psi))=1$.

Proofs of Theorems \[dimonethm\] and \[highdimthm\] {#Q_presultssec}
===================================================

Theorems \[dimonethm\] and \[highdimthm\] are analogues of results which are known to bemeasure replaced by the Hausdorff measure associated with a dimension function. We will explain the details of this below but for now we simply wish to observe that the Hausdorff measure conjectures seem at first to be refinements of the classical conjecture. However it was recently proved by V. Beresnevich and S. Velani that if the Lebesgue measure version of the Duffin-Schaeffer Conjecture is true then so are all of its real Hausdorff measure generalizations ([@BeresnevichVelani06]). In this section we will extend these results to the $p-$adic fields.

Suppose that $(X,d)$ is a metric space with the property that for every $\rho >0$ the space can be covered by a countable collection of balls with diameters less than $\rho$. If $F\subset X$ and $\rho >0$ then a collection of balls $\{B_n\}_{n\in{\mathbb{N}}}$


we find that ${{\mathcal}{H}}^f_\rho(W_{\ell,p_1,\ldots , p_k}(\psi))=0$ for all $\rho>0$, which in turn implies that ${{\mathcal}{H}}^f(W_{\ell,p_1,\ldots , p_k}(\psi))=0.$

One of the theorems proved in [@BeresnevichVelani06] is that Conjecture \[HpDSC\] is true whenever $\ell > 1$ and $k=0$. We will extend this result in the following way.

\[Q\_pMTPthm1\] Conjecture \[HpDSC\] is true whenever $\ell+k> 1$.

Furthermore in [@BeresnevichVelani06] is was proved that if the Duffin-Schaeffer Conjecture is true then Conjecture \[HpDSC\] is true when $\ell=1$ and $k=0$. To cover the remaining case when $\ell=0$ and $k=1$ we provide the following theorem.

\[Q\_pMTPthm2\] If Conjecture \[Q\_pDSC\] is true then Conjecture \[HpDSC\] is true whenever $\ell=0$ and $k=1$. It follows that if ($QIA_\infty$) holds then Conjecture \[HpDSC\] is true.

The proofs of Theorems \[Q\_pMTPthm1\] and \[Q\_pMTPthm2\] depend crucially on [@BeresnevichVelani06 Theorem 3], a result which we will\[largepsilemma\] we have that $W_p(\psi)={\mathbb{Z}}_p$ and both Conjectures \[Q\_pDSC\] and \[HpDSC\] are trivial. Therefore we assume that $\psi (n){\rightarrow}0$ as $n{\rightarrow}\infty$ and that $$\sum_{n\in{\mathbb{N}}}f(\psi(n))\varphi (n)=\infty.$$ Also as before it will suffice to prove the theorem under the assumption that $\psi (n)=0$ whenever $p|n$.

By Lemma \[mediumpsilemma\] for any $n\in{\mathbb{N}}$ we have that $$\mu_p({{\mathcal}{E}}_n(f(\psi (n))))\ge\min\left\{\frac{f(\psi(n))\varphi (n)}{p},\frac{1}{12}\right\}$$ and so $$\sum_{n\in{\mathbb{N}}}\mu_p({{\mathcal}{E}}_n(f(\psi(n))))=\infty.$$ Upon noting that ${{\mathcal}{H}}^1=\mu_p$ Conjecture \[HpDSC\] follows immediately from Conjecture \[Q\_pDSC\] and the Mass Transference Principle with $m=1$.

The second statement Theorem \[Q\_pMTPthm2\] then follows from Theorems \[RQ\_ptransferthm\] and \[Q\_pMTPthm1\] and [@BeresnevichVelani06 Theorem 1].

The proof of Theorem \[Q\_pMTPthm1\] will use the same ideas but first we need the following lemma.

\[measequivlem\] Suppose that $\ell$ is a non-negative integer, that $k\in{\mathbb{N}}$, and that $p_1,\ldots , p_k$ are (not necessarily distinct) primes. Let ${{\mathcal}{H}}^{\ell+k}$ be


be one of the few who regularly uses THE BUS in Los Angeles.

This is why I was able to finally keep turning the pages of 'Guns, Germs and Steel' until I reached the final one.

One morning I was heading out with my $1.25 in my hand. I'd finished 'The Dark Tower' series for the 4th time and was feeling a bit sheepish about my literary choices. Frankly I wanted to seem smarter to the rest of the idiots on the bus - y'know, the people who yell intimate conversations to their girlfriends, who try to eat soup while standing, who pick their nose right in front of you, who yell at the bus driver for the traffic or because they got on the wrong bus and it isn't

Effects of octreotide and erythromycin on gastric myoelectrical and motor activities in patients with gastroparesis.
Simultaneous recordings of gastric manometry and myoelectrical activity were made in 10 patients with gastroparesis. Intravenous erythromycin (100 mg) was administered in the fasting state for a period of 30 min. Subcutaneous injection of octreotide (100 microg) was administered before one of the four identical test meals. It was found that octreotide significantly decreased the antral motility index (30-min fasting: 4.51+/-1.04 vs 1.75+/-0.97, P < 0.02; 60-min fed: 5.16+/-1.44 vs 3.4+/-1.41, P < 0.05) and the dominant power of the EGG (fasting power: 35.19+/-1.54 vs 30.84+/-1.57 dB, P < 0.004; postprandial power increase: 5.52+/-1.06 vs -0.27+/-0.87, P < 0.001). Erythromycin significantly increased the antral motility index (3.16+/-0.96 vs 9.5+/-0.61, P < 0.001) and theis widely spread on the high plateau from 2200 to 3600 m and often abundant on roadsides, alluvial plains, and abandoned fields. It is used in Yemen for treating headache and as insect repellent. In Saudi Arabia, a decoction of fresh whole plant is traditionally used to treat diabetes mellitus \[[@B14-medicines-02-00067]\]. The plant has also been used in folk medicine as an anthelmintic, antispasmodic, antirheumatic and antibacterial agent \[[@B15-medicines-02-00067]\]. Antioxidant, antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activities have also been recorded for *Artemisia abyssinica* essential oil \[[@B15-medicines-02-00067]\]. Essential oil compositions have been determined for *Artemisia abyssinica* from three different regions of Yemen, namely Taiz (higher than 1500 m), Sana'a (higher than 3000 m) and Alhodiadah (coastal region). The major components of *Artemisia abyssinica* essential oils from Yemen are listed in [Table


bracteosa*, in Yemen. It is an erect and aromatic perennial herb used traditionally in Yemeni medicine as an antiseptic agent and to treat toothache \[[@B29-medicines-02-00067]\]. The essential oil of *Ajuga bracteosa* from Yemen has been reported with high concentrations of oxygenated monoterpenoids (34.0%), fatty acids (30.3%), and oxygenated sesquiterpenoids (11.4%). The major components of the oil were 1-octene-3-ol (4.8%), linalool (1.9%), *endo*-fenchol (3.1%), camphor (4.4%), borneol (20.8%), eugenol (1.5%), lauric acid (2.3%), caryophyllene oxide (5.1%), myristic acid (3.3%), 6,10,14-trimethylpentadecane-2-one (3.0%), palmitic acid (16.0%), phytol (5.6%) and linoleic acid (7.0%) \[[@B69-medicines-02-00067]\]. The oil showed some antibacterial activity against *Staphylococcus aureus* and *Bacillus subtilis* (MIC = 330 and 670 μg/mL, respectively). Moreover, it showed significant antioxidant activity in the DPPH- radical-scavenging assay (78% inhibition at 1.0 mg/mL).

When not in use, the slider rests upon the surface of the magnetic disk. During information retrieval and recording, however, the magnetic disk is rotated. When the disk first begins rotating, the slider slides along the surface of the magnetic disk. As the rotational speed of the disk increases, however, a boundary layer of air is formed which causes the slider to lift off of the disk and "fly" above the surface of the disk. The distance of the slider from the disk during flight is approximately 50 nm. When the power to the disk drive is once again shut off, the disk rotational speed gradually decreases, and the slider lands upon the disk, sliding along the surface of the disk until the disk comes to rest.
Several problemsBEIJING — It is no secret that fans of Chinese food often find it addictive. They speak longingly of the numbing spice of Sichuan peppercorn or the sour herbs found in Yunnan cooking.

At least 36 restaurants in China tried to take that addictive quality one step further, and now have found themselves on the wrong side of the law. They were investigated in the past week by the authorities for adding poppy capsules and other illegal ingredients to food, according to a report on Friday by Xinhua, the state-run news agency.

The poppy capsule is made from the dried pericarp of the ripe fruit of an opium poppy plant, and it has more than 20 types of alkaloids, including those found in morphine and cocaine, the report said. It
