of enemies. Sound familiar?

It’s impossible to tell how far the comparisons will stretch. Richard Nixon was one of the worst presidents in history, leaving office in disgrace. He was proof of the dangers inherent in electing a small minded, bitter, petty ogre to the highest office in the land, and we have yet to recover from the damage.

As for Donald Trump, we have no choice but to wait and see.

We have one reason for hope, though. Richard Nixon won the popular vote in ’68 by nearly one million votes. As of this writing Hillary Clinton leads the popular vote by nearly three million votes. That means Americans didn’t elect Donald Trump; the Electoral College did.

This is not an argument against the Electoral College — although given the frequencyLithium readily absorbs nitrogen and forms lithium nitride,
which is extremely difficult to remove. In the molten form lithium ni-
tride might almost be called the universal solvent, as it will dissolve
practically all known containers at high temperatures. Further research
is required on suitable methods of handling molten lithium before serious
consideration can be given to its use in hypersonic aircraft. Sodium
does not present such a difficult problem. If a system is kept clean
and, in particular, free of oxygen, sodium can be handled very well up
to temperatures of at least 12000 F. Mass transfer may be a problem at
higher temperatures where sodium vapoiizes. For flights of short dura-
tion this may not be a problem, but oxygen leaking into a system could
cause oxide plugging if the sodium has to flow through any small


openings.

Helium and hydrogen (particularly hydrogen) appear quite promising
as heat sinks if the volume required is not excessive for the aircraft
in question. The storage of a liquefied gas in aircraft appears to be
feasible. Figure 4 shows some of the details of a possible method of
tank construction. The tank is formed of concentric shells of stainless
steel with Styrofoam insulation between the shells. The insulation,
which should be about 2 to 3 inches thick, has a density of about 2.5
pounds per cubic foot. The volume where this insulation is located could
be evacuated to reduce heat transfer. The insulation serves as a separa-
tor between the two shells. As a result, the load due to the vacuum on
the outer shell is quite low and the shell can be quite thin. A thick-
ness of from0.010 to 0.020 inch seems sufficient. The inner shell should
be thick enough to withstand the internal pressure, which should probably
be about 50 pounds per square inch absolute in order to provide sufficient
pressure to circulate the gas if it is also used as the coolant.

With the proper operating procedure, carrying the hydrogen aboard
the aircraft should not be a hazard to personnel. Purging and explosion
problems associated with circulation of hydrogen throughout the coolant
passages in the aircraft are believed to be easily controllable and will
be discussed later.

Methanol shows a very good heat capacity on either a volume or weight
basis (fig. 3). A nickel catalyst is required for the dissociation re-
action, and the dissociation products are carbon monoxide and hydrogen
gas. A further investigation of the dissociation reaction of methanol
concerning rates, vapor pressures,


are quite low.

From figure 1 it can be seen that within an inch of the leading edge
the heat flux has dropped to a value of less than 10 Btu/(sq ft)(sec),
so that only a very small portion of the aircraft will have the difficult
cooling problem considered in-figure 5(a). In figure 5(b) the heat-
transfer and pressure characteristics of the coolants are shown for a
heat flux of 10 Btu/(sq ft)(sec). The temperature rises, pressure drops,
and coolant Mach numbers required for adequate cooling are probably

NACA RM E57L19

satisfactory for passage lengths up to at least 5 feet for all coolants
except air. With air as the coolant, wall temperatures may become ex-
cessive because of rapid coolant temperature rise. At this heat flux
the flow in the coolant passages was found to be laminar for allto almost as much weight in some
cases as the weight of water that would be required for a heat sink for
all the low-level regions on the airplane. If water is used as the heat
sink, the complication of tanks and pumps for recirculating the water
can possibly be eliminated by storing the water at the location where
the heat is to be absorbed by the built-in heat sink, as will be dis-
cussed later.

The discussion up to this point on convection cooling in the low-
level region has dealt with a double-wall insulated structure as shown
in figure 10. For an uninsulated structure the cooling problem would be
no worse than that illustrated in figure 5(b). The structure could be
cooled with any of the coolants considered. Water or NaK would probably
cool the structure more than


necessary, and the total heat loads would
be high. A gaseous coolant is therefore indicated. The best coolant
would be hydrogen, and next best would be helium. Although the heat
loads would be higher for the single-wall than for the double-wall con-
struction because of higher permissible surface temperatures in the
double-wall construction, the heat capacity of a heat sink like hydrogen
could be more fully utilized because it could be heated to a higher tem-
perature. As a result, the weight of heat-sink fluid may not be any
higher for the single-wall construction. To determine which type of con-
figuration is the best for cooling would require a heat-transfer analysis
based on the structural configurations considered for a particular appli-
cation and for the desired coolant and heat-sink fluid.

The shutdown also influenced the 1996 Presidential election. Bob Dole, the Senate Majority Leader, was running for President in 1996. Because of his need to campaign, Dole wanted to solve the budget crisis in January 1996 despite the willingness of other Republicans to continue the shutdown unless their demands were met. In particular, as Gingrich and Dole had been seen as potential rivals for the 1996 Presidential nomination, they had a tense working relationship.[17][18] The shutdown has also been cited as having a role in Clinton's successful re-election in 1996.[18]

According to Gingrich, positive impacts of the government shutdown included the balanced-budget deal in 1997 and the

Thirsk’s market place tree row goes to House of Commons

THE uproar over the removal of trees from a market place has moved to the House of Commons, where a petition will be presented on behalf of residents.

A group of residents have put together a petition urging Hambleton District Council to replace the five mature birches which were removed from Thirsk Market Place.

It declares that Hambleton District Council has “not explained in detail how it came to its decision to remove five healthy birch trees” from a conversation area and claims no public consultation was taken over their removal.

Hambleton District Council said the trees had to be removed without notice as they were posing a threat to health and safety, as the roots were causing stone flags to lift


and there were complaints about bird droppings.

Thirsk district and county councillor Gareth Dadd, who said he played no part in the decision to remove the trees, recently formed a steering group to enable the local community to help shape how the market place will look in the future.

Mike I’Anson, chairman of Thirsk Community Woodlands Group, who launched the petition with Thirsk resident Lesley Rolfe, said: “It is an important tenet of local government that our councillors can be called to account for the decisions they make. In the absence of any meaningful response from Hambleton District Council this petition asks central government to intercede on our behalf.”

Thirsk Community Woodlands Group, which was established 12 years ago, has a five acre woodland in which it grows trees that canCommentary: Criminalising tax advice

Sometime ago, a tax auditor was forced to discontinue investigating a certain taxpayer. The auditor was warned that the taxpayer has written his name on parchment paper and buried it under either a sycamore or guango tree - I can't recall which - somewhere in the May Pen Cemetery.

It was widely felt that this taxpayer was associated with the dreaded Dr L.W. de Laurence, the master of occultism and obeah in Jamaica.

I am quite sure that if this threat had happened today, it would be an offence under the Tax Penalties (Harmonisation) Act 2014, passed in the House of Representatives last September and took effect October 1, 2014. It amended, harmonised and increased penalties under the Education Tax Act and the Income Tax Act.

The decision to submit legislation comes in the wake of a controversial election season. The resignations of UM System President Tim Wolfe and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin prompted the BEC to extend the election period by one week to a Nov. 18 end date.

On Nov. 18, MSA voted to delay the election announcement by 24 hours to give the BEC “an ample amount of time to make sure that they consider” to rule on infractions filed against the Ejaz/Parrie and Gomez/Hanner slates.

Alex Higginbotham, chairman of the Campus and Community Relations Committee, also presented a petition to impeach BEC Chairwoman Emmato support, a president-elect who allows his personal agenda to cloud his administrative ‘decisions,’” de Leon said in a Facebook post Dec. 11.

Both Gomez and Hanner declined to comment on the GroupMe message. However, early Wednesday morning, Gomez released a statement.

“During the election cycle, Chris and I can say with the utmost certainty we did everything we knew by the bylaws, including our teaming up with pocket points (sic),” he said in the statement. “The Board of Elections still issued us a major infraction for our actions and we dealt with that accordingly. Our campaign team faced challenges not ever seen by MSA and we handled them in the way we thought to be most appropriate and most beneficial to the success of our mission.”

cancellation after only fourteen episodes some seventeen years ago, it feels an unfair comment. Supernatural has gone beyond being just a television show for so many people in part due to the numerous projects and charity works that have sprung out from it.

Back in 2009, Misha Collins started down a path that led to the formation of a not for profit charity called Random Acts. Run by volunteers the charity has dedicated itself to improving the world ‘one random act of kindness at a time’. It has been responsible for rebuilding communities in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake, building a school for a community in Nicaragua, and numerous other good deeds all over the world. Once a year the charity runs an event called GISH, which stands fornot going to read much about, other than at a website like this one.

In fact, we’ve focused on the spectacular growth of this country’s special forces outfits, what that has meant globally, and the ethos of the organization for years now. Nick Turse, in particular, has in the past and again today done the kind of reporting on and assessment of special forces operations that should be the coin of the realm, but couldn’t be rarer in our world. If you want to know, for instance, just how many countries special forces operatives have set foot in from 2011-2014 (150 on a planet with only 196 nations), this is the place to come, not the giant media outfits that straddle the consciousness of the planet.

That blood-soaked episode


was, depending on your vantage point, an ignominious end to a year that saw U.S. Special Operations forces deployed at near record levels, or an inauspicious beginning to a new year already on track to reach similar heights, if not exceed them.

On December 6, 2014, approximately 36 of America’s top commandos , heavily armed, operating with intelligence from satellites, drones, and high-tech eavesdropping, outfitted with night vision goggles, and backed up by elite Yemeni troops, went toe-to-toe with about six militants from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. When it was over, Somers was dead, along with Pierre Korkie , a South African teacher due to be set free the next day. Eight civilians were also killed by the commandos, according to local reports. Most of the militants escaped.

Inspokesperson with the task force, America’s special operators were still leading missions last year. The force refuses to say how many missions were led by Americans or even how many operations its commandos were involved in, though Afghan special operations forces reportedly carried out as many as 150 missions each month in 2014. “I will not be able to discuss the specific number of operations that have taken place,” Major Loren Bymer of Special Operations Joint Task Force-Afghanistan told TomDispatch. “However, Afghans currently lead 96% of special operations and we continue to train, advise, and assist our partners to ensure their success.”

Most criminologists say "no" ... the first reason for this "exaggeration" cited by NCSC research is that the techniques used by police for reporting crimes have been greatly improved by computer technology. For example, in 1973, there were 861,000 aggravated assaults reported to police departments in the United States, but because of archaic techniques used for keeping track of such information, the police passed on to the FBI only 421,000 of those assaults. By 1988, things had changed radically in the technology front ... police were able to record and pass on to the FBI 910,000 of the 940,000 assaults reported that year ... As a result of nothing more than better record-keeping, the statisticsso long as the shareholders are pleased with their commitment to the bottom line, is going to demand from the news division? ... think back to some of the more heavily covered national stories in recent years: the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, the death of Princess Diana, John Wayne Bobbitt's severed penis, the Columbine school shootings, the saga of Joey Buttafuoco and Amy Fisher ...

The funny part is, the hose is only about 3 feet long and exits into a hole that leads to the underside of the bath tub in the floor above. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

The White House is going to have to provide answers on whether it thinks cell phone unlocking should be illegal. Unlocking cell phones unties them from specific carriers, allowing users to switch to a different cellular provider. This was legal until recently, when the Library of Congress decided not to renew the Digital Millennium Copyright Act exemption for unlocking.

Outraged cell phone users filed a White House Petition demanding the reversal of this policy. The petition was filed just days after the White House said petitions would only get an answer if they received 100,000 signatures within a month, rather than the previous threshold of 25,000.

The cell phone unlock petition passed 100,000 today, two days before the deadline. You can still sign it if you wish. The text reads:

the fungus body is weak, and even if the enzyme is secreted outside the fungus body, the amount thereof is extremely slight, and the activity thereof is weak because the enzyme is coated by a large amount of sugar, as a result of which the enzyme is difficult to detect. Accordingly, it is speculated that a gene of the enzyme can not be cloned.
It is been known that the measurement of glucose levels using a sensor utilizing a glucose oxidase is influenced by sugar chains of the enzyme, and thereby it is difficult for an enzyme originating from molds rich in sugar chains to be adapted to the glucose sensor (Non-patent Document 2). It is known, for example, that solid cultivation of microorganisms belonging to the genus Aspergillusincreases the sugar content of yielded enzymes in comparison with liquid cultivation thereof (Non-patent Document 3), and thus it is known that solid cultivation generally increases sugar chains in comparison with liquid cultivation. Thus, one of reasons coenzyme-linked glucose dehydrogenases have not been developed for practical use until now is assumed to be because it has been difficult to reduce sugar chain contents of the glucose dehydrogenases originating from molds to utilize it in a glucose sensor even if cultivating conditions are investigated.
In fact, although the present inventors purified a coenzyme-linked glucose dehydrogenase originating from Aspergillus terreus, the inventors found that the obtained dehydrogenase was coated with a great amount of sugars to be in a form which may be called an “arabinogalactan embedded-type enzyme”, as a result

Existing protocols for isolating and purifying plant viruses and soluble proteins and peptides, however, present many problems. First, protein isolation from plant sources have been designed in large part for the recovery of Fraction 1 protein, not for other biologically active soluble protein components. The prior processes for large-scale extraction of F1 proteins was for production of protein as an additive to animal feed or other nutritional substances. Acid-precipitation to obtain Fraction 2 proteins in the prior art is not effective, since most proteins denature in the pellet form. Thiswas collected into EDTA-containing tubes, and DNA was extracted from the lymphocytes using a high-purity template preparation kit (Roche Diagnostics, GmbH, Mannheim, Germany). The characterization of GSTT1 polymorphism was performed using a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a Light Cycler instrument and hybridization probes in combination with the Light Cycler DNA master hybridization probes kit (Roche Diagnostics). Both the PCR primers and hybridization probes were synthesized by TIB MOLBIOL (Berlin, Germany). The PCR conditions were included 4 mmol/l of MgCl2 (magnesium chloride), 0.2 mmol/l of each hybridization probe, 10 pmol of each PCR primer, 2 μl of the Light Cycler DNA master hybridization mix, and 50 ng of genomic DNA in a final volume of 20 μl.

In the control samples, the frequency of GSTT1 null genotype and GSTT1 present was 72 and 28%, respectively, while in patients with T2DM, the frequency of GSTT1 null genotype and GSTT1 present was 27.5 and 72.5%, respectively (OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.41-2.40, *P* = 0.98) \[[Table 1](#T1){ref-type="table"}\].

Our study showed that the GSTT1 null genotype resulted in 1.01-fold increased risk for T2DM. Thus, individuals may have decreased antioxidant defenses when this isoform was deleted. Furthermore, it has been well documented that a GSTT1 present genotype can confer protection against the development of T2DM.\[[@ref10][@ref20][@ref21]\] These results suggest that the GSTT1 deletion polymorphism may play a role in the pathogenesis of T2DM.

racial and ethnic attitudes toward lifestyle may influence these results. As a strength, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that has investigated association between GSTT1 polymorphism and DM in the Zoroastrians (a minority group) who live in Yazd, Iran.

The most obvious finding to emerge from this study was that healthy subjects had a higher frequency of the GSTT1 null genotype than diabetic patients. However, we observed no significant association between the GSTT1 deletion polymorphism and T2DM in the current study. It is recommended that future studies investigate the role of the GSTT1 and its combination with other GSTs genotypes in the pathogenesis of DM and its associated complications in large-scale cohorts in different populations.

The exception is occurring in "var thtId = data[row].id", where "row"
  is out of bounds.  You should check if "data[row]" exists before
  accessing the "id" property.  The grid asks for a metadata for a
  non-existent row, which could be interpreted as a bug, but it is still
  useful to be able to customize the empty last row (the one used for
  adding new entries), so it kinda makes sense.

is a characteristic feature of the development and progression of GC, we hypothesized that cytokines released by the tumor microenvironment or by the cancer cells could represent novel diagnosis and predictive biomarkers. The simultaneous detection of multiple cytokines, which is afforded by this technology, is an important tool for biomarker discovery and can help us identify the key molecules that are important in cancer development ([@b24-ol-0-0-7104]). GO enrichment analysis showed that these significantly differentially expressed proteins in GC samples are involved in many biological and immunological processes, mainly in response to stress, chloroplast thylakoid membrane, vacuole, photosynthesis, aspartic-type endopeptidase activity and flavin-adenine dinucleotide binding. KEGG enrichment analysis demonstrated that these differentially expressed proteins are mainly involved in the process of cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signalingThe present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phlox plant, botanically known as Phlox paniculata, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Spinners.

1. Field
This invention relates generally to data communications, and more specifically, to a service gateway.
2. Related Art
Demand for data communication services for consumer and corporate computing devices has been rapidly increasing. Service providers deploy service gateways such as server load balancers or traffic managers to bridge host computers or computing devices with servers providing the data services.
Service gateways provide services either using a stateful processing method or a stateless processing method. Generally, in a stateful processing method, packets are processed as a stream of packets, and each packet in the stream are processed in the same way. In a stateless processing method, packets are processed discretely, where each packet is assessed individually. The stateful processing method may be preferred over the stateless processing method due to the security        [ 1 , 0 , 1 , 1 , 0 , 1 , 1 , 1 ]

layers, making circuit integration possible. Fabrication can be quite complex and time consuming, and therefore expensive. It is thus a continuing quest of those in the semiconductor fabrication business to reduce fabrication times and costs of such devices in order to increase profits. Any simplified processing step or combination of processes at a single location becomes a competitive advantage.
A common requirement in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication is the etching of a "sandwich" structure such as shown in FIG. 1A, having a layer of silicon dioxide ("oxide") over a layer of polycrystalline silicon ("poly") over a layer of thin oxide (often called "gate oxide", because of its frequent use in transistor gates). Oxide is an insulator with dielectric properties. Poly is resistive in nature, but is made less resistivecomputing system in which individual computers, each with a computational processor and a message-handling processor, are connected as a hypercube is described and claimed in an application entitled "Concurrent Computing System Through Asynchronous Communication Channels," filed on July 12, 1985 as Ser. No. 754,828 and assigned to California Institute of Technology. The identified application is referred to herein as the Seitz et al, Cosmic Cube application. As there described, N nodes (numbered 0, 1, ---- N-1) are connected together with a binary (or Boolean) n-dimensional cube in which N=2.sup.n or n=log.sub.2 N. The nodes are computers comprised of processors and memory, and the nodes communicate with each other by bidirectional communication links only along the edges of the cube. Representative examples of microprocessor hardware and software suitable for


performing some of the data transfer features relevant to this invention are fully disclosed in the above-identified application. Specific portions of the Seitz et al Cosmic Cube application are referenced in detail hereinafter.

In the Arctic, temperatures in both Northern Greenland and on the Siberian side of the Arctic Ocean are predicted to hit ranges higher than 20 degrees Celsius above average (36 degrees Fahrenheit) with some readings over Northeastern Siberia striking near the 30 C above average mark by early next week (54 degrees F). This will produce near or above freezing temperatures over both Siberia and sections of the Arctic Ocean near or north of the 80 degree North Latitude line. Overall, temperatures are predicted to average as high as 4.4 C above average for the entire Arctic.

OPINION
EMIL F. GOLDHABER, Chief Judge:
The paramount issue confronting us is whether we can grant relief on the debtor's complaint to sell jointly owned marital property free and clear of liens under 11 U.S.C. § 363(h) of the Bankruptcy Code ("the Code"), although the property is subject to equitable distribution in the couple's pending divorce action. We conclude that the property may not be sold for the reasons set forth below.
*441 Summarizing the pertinent factsonly be filed after the commencement of a case under the Code, and since the debtor filed for relief under the Code only after the wife had done so, it follows that the complaint could not have been filed prior to the institution of the wife's chapter 13 case. It is also apparent that an action to sell free and clear under § 363(f) is not an attempt to collect on a prepetition debt. Hence, the filing of the complaint was not in violation of that aspect of the automatic stay which bars actions "against the debtor."
On the second point, acts against "property of the debtor" are likewise a violation of the automatic stay if those actions are efforts to collect on a prepetition debt. § 362(a)(5). Once


vests all of the property of the estate in the debtor."
The filing of the debtor's complaint to sell free and clear was apparently filed after confirmation of the wife's plan of repayment and we are aware of no provision of that plan excepting the applicability of § 1327. Thus, after confirmation it appears that the debtor took no action against property of the wife's estate, that property having already revested in the debtor, and in no other manner has he violated the automatic stay.

Product Description:

This frank drama contrasts the lives of two brothers who are opposite in a almost every way. Joe (Brad Pitt) is the perfect son and athlete obsessed with his dream of a track scholarship. His brother Billy (Rick Schroder) is a short-fused teenage rebel paroled from reform school. When Joe talks Billy into joining a rival school's track team, he unexpectedly finds himself racing against his own brother and possibly killing his scholarship dreams, as well as his relationship with Billy. Pitt and Schroder are fantastic as the bickering brothers who can't seem to come to a truce.

Q:

caching sql result set in java

I know that caching the resultset of frequently used sql statements is better for the performance I am searching about the best way to cache sql result set in java. I found some codes but, it requires adding new jar files to netbeans.
Can anybody help me how can do that without needing to additional apis?

A:

You should cache the resulting objects, not the result sets, because the ResultSet has a reference to the connection (via the statement) which often hold an open database connection or is no longer usable after the connection has been closed!

You should cache the data only. I would advise you to use an external api because you will probably also need to evict old data from cache(to prevent fromDH60G Gipsy Moth, G-ABDA

that an online news aggregator that provided its subscribers with nearly 500-character excerpts of copyrighted articles scraped from the website’s of the Associate Press’s licensees did not engage in a fair use of those articles. The court distinguished the news aggregator’s services from those at issue in Kelly on the grounds that the news aggregator did not facilitate the general public’s access to information on the Internet, but instead only provided word-for-word excerpts of the copied articles to the aggregator’s paying customers without transforming that content in any way.8 The court further held that the aggregator’s use of that content to generate analytics relating to the online news sources it covered, while potentially transformative in and of itself, did not render the aggregator’s excerpting transformative insofar as thearguing the impossibility of establishing such amounts.

C. COMPUTER FRAUD AND ABUSE ACT.

Courts have also considered whether web crawling or scraping in breach of a website’s terms of service constitutes a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (“CFAA”), which prohibits access to a computer, website, server or database either “without authorization” or in way that “exceeds authorized access” of the computer.33 While these terms have been variously defined, in essence, a person who accesses a computer “without authorization” does so without any permission at all, while a person “exceeds authorized access” where she “has permission to access the computer, but accesses information on the computer that the person is not


mirror the circumstances in Int’l News Serv. For example, in Barclays Capital Inc. v. Theflyonthewall.com, Inc., financial services firms alleged claims for copyright infringement and hot news misappropriation against a news aggregation website that reported on investment recommendations issued by the firms to their clients who paid to receive those recommendations before they became generally known to the investment community. On appeal from a denial of the defendant’s motion to dismiss the hot news claim, the court found that plaintiff’s claim was preempted by the Copyright Act. In so finding, the court emphasized that the plaintiffs’ claim lacked an “indispensable element of an INS ‘hot news’ claim,” i.e., “free-riding by a defendant on a plaintiff’s product, enabling the defendant to produce a directly competitive product for less moneyinformation from eBay’s website using spiders that accessed the website approximately 100,000 times per day in violation of eBay’s terms of service and in defiance of cease-and-desist demands from eBay. eBay also moved to preliminary enjoin the defendant from accessing its website. In granting that motion, and finding that eBay was likely to prevail on its trespass to chattels claim, the court relied on the fact that defendant’s spiders consumed a portion – albeit very small – of eBay’s server and server capacity, and thereby “deprived eBay of the ability to use that portion of its personal property for its own purposes.”50

In contrast, where tangible interference is absent, or is no more than theoretical or de minimus, courts have declined to recognize claims for trespass to chattel relating

By 2012, the iPhone was generating more revenue than Microsoft was as an entire company and giving people less reason to replace their PCs. Again, Ballmer had to scramble in an attempt to adapt and ordered a dramatic makeover of Windows so it could run on mobile devices, as well. The new system, Windows 8, borrowed many of its ideas from the software that ran the iPhone, just as Microsoft had copied some of the concepts for its early versions of Windows from Apple’s Macintosh.

The iPhone’s immense popularity helped Apple overtake Microsoft as the world’s most valuable company while Ballmer was CEO.

In midday trading, Microsoft sharesanalyst Avivah Litan. "It's a very attractive target. It's very visible, and that's what these Iranian state attacks are all about, making a political statement by disrupting a visible website."

More recently, a copycat group of profit-minded hackers has conducted denial-of-service attacks against certain U.S. banks as a smoke screen to divert attention while they execute an Ocean's 11-style wire transfer fraud.

Litan earlier this month blogged about that caper. These bad guys, she says, set into motion sophisticated denial-of-service attacks that overwhelmed pretty sturdy bank network security. While tech staff labored manually to get the banks' websites back into service, the crooks scrambled behind the scenes to extract funds from a bank employee's privileged account, which they had gained access to.

Instead of getting into one customer account at a


time, the criminals used the employee's account to control the master payment switch for wire transfers, and moved as much money as they could from as many accounts as possible for as long as possible, Litan reports.

"Considerable financial damage has resulted from these attacks," says Litan.

However, Litan says those copycats would have a considerably harder time trying to extract funds from a stock exchange, where funds move about in a highly complex process understood only by stock market tech gurus.

It's more plausible that the Iranian ideological hackers would be behind a disruption of Nasdaq, like the three-hour outage that began shortly after noon, Eastern time, Litan reasons.

The first wave of denial-of-service attacks attributed to the Cyber Fighters of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam began last September and lasted about sixtoday. In an effort to protect our publishers and readers, we took down service as soon as it was apparent. The breach now seems to be secured and the hackers blocked out, but we are keeping the service down for a little longer until we can be sure it's safe to turn it back on securely. We are working hard to prevent future attacks of this nature."

Gunter Ollmann, chief technology officer at computer security firm IOActive, observes that as websites continue to embed content streams from third parties and other affiliates, "this type of hack can taint many of the more secure and popular sites on the Internet."

Starting last fall, U.S. financial institutions have been hit by three waves of massive denial-of-services attacks, shutting down their consumer websites

Bradgate House: A House of Ambition

Bradgate Park was one of two parks belonging to the Manor of Groby. Its history can be traced back to at least the eleventh century when an area of land encompassing what is now Bradgate Park was given to a loyal compatriot of William the Conquerer, Hugh de Grentmesnil, who fought with William at the Battle of Hastings.

Our story, though, really begins in the mid-fifteenth century, when the owners of the estate, the Ferrers family, did a spectacular bit of fortuitous social climbing. This began when the younger son of Reginald Grey, 3rd Baron Grey de Ruthyn, married the heiress, Elizabeth Ferrers, in 1427. It was their son,and the young Lady Jane were fiercely intelligent, learned, obsessed with books, and devoutly Protestant in their religious inclinations. Given what we know of Jane’s harsh upbringing by unforgiving parents, her all too brief time with Katherine, first at Chelsea Manor, then Sudeley Castle, must have seemed like paradise.

Unfortunately for Jane, this idyll was not to last; with Katherine’s death following childbirth on 7 September 1548, the Dorsets recalled their daughter, feeling it unseemly that she should live on with a man with a reputation like Seymour’s. Of course, the letter requesting Jane’s return, ostensibly so that her mother could keep an eye on her, was most tactfully written. It is signed from ‘Brodgate’ on 19 September 1548, just 12 days after Katherine’s death. In it ‘Henry Dorsett’


£500, Jane would once again leave Bradgate, returning to live with Seymour’s mother. Here she remained for only a couple of months until Sir Thomas was arrested for treason.

And so plans to manoeuvre Jane onto the throne as Edward’s bride came very abruptly to an end. One imagines that the Dorsets kept their heads down on their country estate while the dust settled following Seymour’s execution, in March 1549. Goodness knows how Jane must have been feeling; escaping her harsh home environment the first time, only to lose a much-beloved mother-figure, then passed back and forth between households, before finally hearing the end of a man described by Princess Elizabeth as having ‘much wit and little judgment’.

In 1550, when Jane was around 13 or 14, we have onethe last time that ever I saw that noble and worthy lady.”

In 1552 the new Duke and Duchess of Suffolk relocated the family’s power-base to London, in Sheen, close to the royal court. Here they might more easily implement their ambitious plans. In an alliance with the Duke of Northumberland, Jane was first wed into a family she came to detest before the sixteen-year-old was forced to accept the Crown following the death of Edward VI. Her fate is well-known; her husband, father and father-in-law all going to the block alongside her under the rule of the new Catholic queen, Mary I.

As a result of the botched coup, the Greys’ estates were forfeited to the Crown. However, eventually, Bradgate House was returned to the family during the reign


the most unspoilt medieval hunting grounds to be found in the country. It is still stocked full of red and fallow deer, which you are more than likely to encounter if you visit the park today. They are so used to visitors that they tend to rest imperiously undisturbed by human presence, tolerating having their photos taken by enchanted onlookers – remember they are wild though, so do not get too close.

From the main car park at Newtown Linford (note there are several entrances, but the main one is the easiest to find), a pretty little brook runs through the park at the bottom of a valley, leading you toward the ruins of the house.

If we fuse the pooling layer in our architecture, as explained above, we need to wait for some more clock cycles before every new pooled row. Hence our architecture works best when we have multiple consecutive convolutions.

Fusing of a pooling layer with convolution layer takes longer than fusing two convolution layers. Fig. (\[fig:pooling\]) shows the difference in speedup obtained with and without the pooling layer. This is because for computing the pooled layer output, we need to fill up the entire line buffer initially. Thus the initial latency for pooling is higher.

Our design gives the best speedup performance when we have multiple consecutive convolutions. This is particularly helpful in networks like FCNs [@fcn] and segnet[@segnet] which follow this pattern. In order to demonstrate the performance of our hardware accelerator, we have designed our own network consisting

What Did the Researchers Do and Find?

The present study aimed to investigate (1) shifts from the 1940s to the 2000s in the distribution of BMI across age and (2) shifts over the same period in the probability of developing overweight or obesity across age. For each of the five cohorts, subdivided by sex and childhood versus adulthood (thus, a total of 20 datasets), the authors applied statistical models to produce trajectories for each BMI centile (subset that results from dividing the distribution of BMI measurements into 100 groups with equal frequency; here, the 90th centile is the group for which 90% of the relevant population has lower BMI). They then investigated secular trends (long-term, non-periodic variations) at different centiles of the BMI distribution.

An analysis of cross-sectional data from repeated household surveys in India,
combined with data on economic growth, fails to find strong evidence that recent
economic growth in India is associated with a reduction in child
undernutrition.

Background

Economic growth is widely perceived as a major policy instrument in reducing
childhood undernutrition in India. We assessed the association between
changes in state per capita income and the


economic growth rather than the
other way around. In this study, the researchers assess the association
between economic growth and child undernutrition in India by analyzing the
relationship between changes in per capita income in individual Indian
states and the individual risk of undernutrition among children in
India.

What Did the Researchers Do and Find?

For their analyses, the researchers used data on 77,326 Indian children that
were collected in the 1992–93, 1998–99, and
2005–06 National Family Health Surveys; these surveys are part of
the Demographic and Health Surveys, a project that collects health data in
developing countries to aid health-system development. The researchers used
eight "ecological" statistical models to investigate whether there was an
association between underweight, stunting, or wasting and per capita income
at the state level in each survey period; these ecological models assumed
that the risk of undernutrition wasthree times the number of adolescents are now overweight. Worldwide, 22 million children under five years old are considered by the World Health Organization to be overweight.

Being overweight or obese in childhood is associated with poor physical and mental health. In addition, childhood obesity is considered a major risk factor for adult obesity, which is itself a major risk factor for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and other chronic conditions.

The most commonly used measure of whether an adult is a healthy weight is body mass index (BMI), defined as weight in kilograms/(height in metres)2. However, adult categories of obese (>30) and overweight (>25) BMI are not directly applicable to children, whose BMI naturally varies as they grow. BMI can be used to screen children for being overweight and


of overweight/obesity and undernutrition in cancer patients and their potential role in cancer histological behavior.

Surveying women and children from refugee camps in Algeria, Carlos Grijalva-Eternod and colleagues find high rates of obesity among women as well as many undernourished children, and that almost a quarter of households are affected by both undernutrition and obesity.

Background

Households from vulnerable groups experiencing epidemiological transitions are known to be affected concomitantly by under-nutrition and obesity. Yet, it is unknown to what extent this double burden affects refugee populations dependent on food assistance. We assessed the double burden of malnutrition among Western Sahara refugees living in a protracted emergency.

Methods and Findings

We implemented a stratified nutrition survey in October–November 2010 in the four Western Sahara refugee camps in Algeria. We sampled 2,005 households, collecting anthropometricand communicable, maternal, and perinatal diseases caused 23% of DALYs; in Chiapas, they caused 29% of DALYs. At the same time, the absolute rates of noncommunicable disease and injury burdens were highest in the Southern region (105 DALYs per 1,000 population versus 97 nationally for noncommunicable diseases; 22 versus 19 for injuries).

Conclusions

Mexico is at an advanced stage in the epidemiologic transition, with the majority of the disease and injury burden from noncommunicable diseases. A unique characteristic of the epidemiological transition in Mexico is that overweight and obesity, high blood glucose, and alcohol use are responsible for larger burden of disease than other noncommunicable disease risks such as tobacco smoking. The Southern region is least advanced in the epidemiological transition and suffers from the largest burden of ill health

The aim of this study was to assess how well preschool children of Russian city (Nizhny Novgorod) match with, or diverge from, international growth charts (WHO2006,2007; USCDC2000).

Methods

Cross-sectional study included 3,130 children aged 3–7 years attending municipal preschools of Nizhny Novgorod, the city in the European part of Russia. The study was held from February 2012 to October 2013.

The international WHO2006,2007 and USCDC2000 growth references were used to calculate the height, weight and BMI z-scores. The distributions of z-scores were analysed with descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Z-score equal 0.25 was considered as a benchmark for


adolescents 9-20 years. Growth z-scores were generated using 2006 WHO standards for children up to five years and 1977 NCHS/WHO reference for older children. Overweight and obesity for those <18 years were determined using International Obesity Task Force BMI cut-offs, while adult cut-offs of BMI ≥ 25 and ≥ 30 kg/m2 for overweight and obesity respectively were used for those ≥ 18 years. Waist circumference cut-offs of ≥ 94 cm for males and ≥ 80 cm for females and waist-to-height ratio of 0.5 for both sexes were used to determine metabolic disease risk in adolescents.

Results

About one in five children aged 1-4 years was stunted; one in three of those aged one year. Concurrently, the prevalence of combined overweight and obesity, almost non-existent in boys, was substantial among adolescenttheir degree. The financial aspect is only one of many factors that influence nurses to take part in these programs.
