Q:

Complementary transistor pair with a bipolar transistor and a MOSFET

I own a set of Soviet IN-14 Nixie tubes and I would like to use them to make a vintage clock. I found this example schematic of a "Nixie clock":
I don't understand what is the purpose of using a MOSFET in the second stage of this quasi-"Darlington pair" (as opposed to a second bipolar transistor in a normal Darlington pair) here:
Is there a particular name for this configuration?
As a secondary question, I also would like to know why a diode was used in place of a resistor in this configuration?

A:

This is what's called a gate drive circuit, or gate driver. The BC558 aids in pulling charge out of the IRF840's gate, acting as a current amplifierto turn the FET off faster. The circuit designer apparently decided that the turn-on time wasn't as much of a concern, so a 1N4148 diode is used to pass the un-amplified current straight from the PIC's output.
The term gate driver is a generic term, referring to any circuit that aids a signal in charging and/or discharging the gate of a FET or IGBT. I don't think the particular instance in the circuit above has any more specific name.


Former lawmaker and frequent MSNBC pundit Harold Ford Jr. won't appear on "Morning Joe" while he pursues legal action against a woman who accused him of sexual assault.

Ford, who represented Tennessee as a Democrat for a decade, worked at Morgan Stanley when a female reporter accused him of groping and stalking her. As a result, Ford's employer, Morgan Stanley, fired him.

Ford responded by saying the accusations against him were not true, and that he would sue both her for making false claims, and Morgan Stanley for wrongful termination. But while those actions are ongoing, Ford will not appear on "Morning Joe" or any other MSNBC program.

"MSNBC and Ford agreed he would not be a guest on the network until the defamation lawsuit he says he will file againstat the direction of my firm for business purposes."

"I will now be bringing legal action against the reporter who has made these false claims about me as well as Morgan Stanley for improper termination," said Ford.


Detection of Rickettsia spp. in Haemaphysalis ticks collected in La Rioja, Spain.
In an attempt to know the potential risk of human disease after exposure to ticks in La Rioja (North of Spain), the objective of our study was to investigate the presence of Rickettsia species in Haemaphysalis ticks collected in our area. A total of 177 Haemaphysalis spp. belonging to three species (H. punctata, H. sulcata, and H. inermis) were subjected to DNA extraction and tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting three rickettsial genes: gltA, ompB, and ompA. Six (3 H. inermis, 2 H. punctata, and 1 H. sulcata) of the 177 specimens were found to be infected (3.4%). The rickettsiae in H. inermis ticks (n = 3) were identified as Rickettsia aeschlimannii by sequencing of the  3

Its real function has remained enigmatic until recently. Preliminary data now suggest that bat N11 down-regulates the surface expression of MHC-II molecules by an as yet unknown mechanism \[[@ppat.1008384.ref015]\] ([Fig 2B](#ppat.1008384.g002){ref-type="fig"}). If confirmed, these data demonstrate that the surface glycoproteins of New World bat IAVs have both receptor binding and destroying activities and hence serve the same function as the HA and NA proteins of conventional IAVs.

Why did the New World bat influenza viruses evolve this way and what are the consequences? {#sec004}
==========================================================================================

A well-known characteristic of IAVs is their capacity to rapidly evolve and adapt to new environments. Their adaptability is based mainly on (1) gene reassortment (i.e., the ability to exchange gene segments between strains) and (2) genetic drift that generates a vast number of viral quasispeciesa functional N11 suggests that the structure of H18 (and possibly H17) may provide a broader scope of evolutionary flexibility than that of conventional sialic acid--dependent IAVs. It is therefore tempting to speculate that bat IAV HA proteins, and in particular H18, might have the potential to adapt to novel and so far unknown entry receptors different from MHC-II ([Fig 2D](#ppat.1008384.g002){ref-type="fig"}).

How likely is a spillover of bat IAVs into the human population? {#sec006}
================================================================

Up to now, more than 200 different viruses have been isolated from or detected in bats. Some of these bat-borne viruses, such as rabies, Ebola, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) virus, have caused human and animal diseases, highlighting their zoonotic and epizootic threat \[[@ppat.1008384.ref025]\].

know I expected the ‘more-is-more’ style from Baz, but he seems to have upped the ante with this one. Perhaps Baz is trying to illustrate just how huge a contrast is between the festive and seemingly-blissful exterior of Gatsby’s life with that of his inner turmoil. The bigger the parties, the emptier Gatsby life is. They say money doesn’t buy happiness. Well, it’s never rings truer than in Gatsby’s life.

The quiet(er) moments in this film come few and far in between, but even when they arrive, I still haven’t quite recovered from the dizzying fracas. One of those moments is when Gatsby is with his lost love Daisy, whom he fell for five years ago and the one he’s been trying to win back ever since.

Submersed lettuce irrigated with wastewater contained 1,300 *E. coli* MPN/100 mL and had equal levels of contamination as with the spray irrigation. The scenario was similar in both laboratory and experimental investigations ([@B121]). The study also showed that crops are seriously imparted by wastewater irrigation, independent of the irrigation schemes used ([@B121]). In a study on the use of wastewater in agriculture, Antwi-Agyei ([@B122]) identified irrigation with partially treated and untreated wastewater as a key risk factor for the observed contamination of 80% of produce samples. The study reported the median concentration ranging from 0.64 to 3.84 log~10~ *E. coli*/g produce, and fresh salad having as high as 4.23 log~10~ *E.


considering different wastewater-irrigated vegetables, Mok et al. ([@B155]) observed that consumption of lettuce posed the greatest health risks as compared to cucumber and broccoli. The researchers reported that the median annual norovirus disease burden across the different vegetables ranged from 7.95 × 10^−5^ to 2.34 × 10^−3^ DALY/person/year ([@B155]).

Risk estimates produced by QMRA are dependent on the input dose or concentration of pathogen used among other factors such the dose response model used and frequency of exposure. The concentration of the pathogen could be either determined in the laboratory or assumed. Some researchers use fecal indicator microorganisms to estimate pathogen concentrations in wastewater and thereafter determine the infection risks. This is mainly due to the ease of detection of these microorganisms, however the survival and even removal/inactivation ofthe presence of sub-inhibitory concentration of the antibiotics can bring about resistance by induction and/or expression of ARGs taken up.

Christou et al. ([@B178]) reported an uptake of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim by tomato crop plants with fruit bio-accumulating 5.26 μg kg^−1^ of sulfamethoxazole and 3.40 μg kg^−1^ of trimethoprim. The antibiotics, ARGs and the antibiotic resistant pathogens (ARP) may be taken up (like nutrients). The ARP may pass through the natural root apertures into the xylem or phloem of the plants, be translocated and internalized in edible part of the crop ([@B200]--[@B203]). By this they may impact the consumers ([@B204]) especially when the crops involved are to be eaten raw ([@B200], [@B204]). For these categories of uncooked crops, certain bacterial species like *Stenotrophomonas maltophilia* and *Acinetobacter* species usually found

We present a rare case of calcaneal chondroblastoma with subsequent surgical revision after graft rejection in a 13-year-old boy. Complications were encountered after the injectable bone graft filler was placed in the calcaneus after curettage. With noted subsequent sinus tract formation, revision surgery was performed that involved dissection of the sinus tract, removal of bone void filler, and application of demineralized bone matrix sponge human allograft soaked in vancomycin-impregnated saline. Sixteen weeks after the revision surgical intervention, the patient resumed normal athletic activities without pain or restrictions. One and a half years after the initial surgery, the patient had complete resolution of the calcaneal cyst and was discharged.

Class II gaming is very important and there is a strong desire for Class II games. Among other things, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. § 2701 et. seq.) provides that an Indian tribe may engage in Class II gaming where the state in which it is located permits similar games and such gaming is not otherwise specifically prohibited on Indian lands by Federal law. 25 U.S.C. § 2710(b)(1)(A). Thus, in accordance with this Act, though Class III gaming may be prohibited in certain locations, at those same locations, Class II games may be permitted.

Enlightenment Exchange: forecasting the future

I was due to be participating in the Edinburgh International Science Festival as part of the Enlightenment Exchange on forecasting the future, however I am recovering from surgery and so will not make it. This is an outline of what I planned to talk about.

Needham’s Question is why did the development technology in western European accelerate much faster than in China after 1600.

The issue that Needham wanted to tackle was that China had the physical and intellectual resources, mathematics, alchemy, astrology and magic, just as Renaissance Europe did, but it did not develop science as Europe did.

One key distinguishing feature between the science that emerged in western Europe in the seventeenth century and other scientific cultures was the use of mathematics.

Copernicus, who wrote on money before he wrote on planets, Simon Stevin, the founder of the Dutch Mathematical School that inspired Descartes, Thomas Gresham, Francis Bacon’s influential uncle who established the first Chair in Mathematics in England and laid the foundations for the Royal Society, were all trained in the abbaco tradition.

Newton, who spent as much time as Master of the Mint as he did as an academic, stood on the shoulders of merchants. His derivation of calculus comes from writing afailure was 1 in 10,000, while engineers on the shopfloor reckoned it to be 1 in 200. In fact, reading Richard Feynman’s Appendix to the Rogers’ Commission Report on the Challenger Failure is interesting in context of the banking failures.

A common feature of the under-reporting of the chances of failure in nuclear engineering, NASA and banking has been a belief in “perfect” systems so that data that can be extrapolated from the known into the unknown. Today, as “big data” becomes the current buzz-word, with Wired declaring in 2008 the “end of theory”, the power of data enables the scientific method, that searches for coherence and causality, to be replaced by the identification of correlations.

To understand why this is relevant, observe that the Financial Crisis on 2007-2009 was


center with researchers from other centers or departments. Betweenness centrality of a department shows the number of times that the department is connected to other department using the shortest possible link in the network. Closeness centrality of a node is the shortest possible link between that node and other nodes in the network. Density metric is the ratio of the connections present in the network to the total possible connections and has a value between 0 and 1. Clustering coefficient is another metric which shows the trend of departments and research centers present in the network for forming different clusters through co-authorship; it is also between 0 and 1. The network diameter metric shows the largest distance between nodes in the network.

Studies in medical fields require a large spectrum of specializations which oblige collaboration of different researches with different professions.\[[@ref15]\] Studying research projects of the Ministry of University and Research in Italy showed that multidisciplinary projects make up only 11% of all projects. The highest trend for interdisciplinary studies belongs to clinical studies including biology and medicine.\[[@ref16]\]

they had fallen asleep. The victim hid the

truth because, she explained, she was afraid of the defendant. At trial, the victim

testified that she first informed her mother of the incidents only after Ms. Reeves

separated from the defendant. She stated that she feared the defendant due to his

abusive nature.

              A fifth incident occurred in March of 1993, shortly before Ms. Reeves

separated from the defendant. On that occasion, the defendant directed the victim

to remove her clothes, after which she performed oral sex.

              Ms. Reeves, who divorced the defendant in 1994, testified that the

defendant often objected when all three of her daughters joined her on                     8

victim had been penetrated. Although she could not determine what type of

penetration had occurred, the damage to the hymen was significant enough that she

would have reported the results of her examination to the Department of Human

Services, even if the victim had not informed her she had been sexually abused.

Furthermore, Ms. Kathy Reeves testified that the defendant always asked that one

of the daughters remain with him when she left the residence and that E.M. was left

behind the most often. Corroborative evidence need only be slight and may be

circumstantial. In our view, this testimony passes the test.

              the indictment ... only if the elements of the included
              offense are a subset of the elements of the charged
              offense and only if the greater offense cannot be
              committed without also committing the lesser offense."

Id. Guidance was also provided as to how to determine whether an offense is a

lesser grade or class of the offense charged: "[o]ne need only look to the statutes to

determine whether a given offense is a     between the accused and the victim; statutory rape does
             not. The age of the defendant is irrelevant with respect
             to all of the sexual assault crimes; it is a crucial element
             of statutory rape. All of the sexual assault crimes
             contemplate the lack of effective consent by the victim;
             statutory rape contemplates circumstances in which the

The record indicates that the motion was denied. The basis for the trial court's

denial does not appear in the record.

              The primary purpose of a bill of particulars is to provide the defendant

with information about the details of the charge, if necessary to the preparation of

his defense. State v. Byrd, 820 S.W.2d 739, 741 (Tenn. 1991). It also serves to

avoid prejudicial surprise and to enable the defendant to preserve a plea against

double jeopardy. Id. See also State v. Hicks, 666 S.W.2d 54, 56 (Tenn. 1984). A

bill of particulars is not, however, a discovery device; it is limited to information a

defendant needs to prepare aThe testimony of

the victim was much more specific than the information provided in the indictments.

For example, the victim testified that one of the rapes occurred shortly after her

baptism. Also, another incident occurred when the defendant took the victim to his

mother's trailer to use the phone. The indictments were not nearly as specific.

              Nonetheless, the defendant has not demonstrated prejudice by the

lack of specificity. The defendant was able to adequately cross-examine all of the

state's witnesses. There is no proof in the record as to how the defense would have

been conducted differently had the bill of particulars been granted. Because the

defendant has not shown how the state's failure to further particularize the charges

impaired his defense, no relief

              When measured by these standards, it is apparent that any

improprieties in this argument did not warrant a new trial. Although the challenged

portion of the state's argument was improper, the remainder of the argument falls

within permissible guidelines. The defendant made no contemporaneous objection

and the record does not suggest an improper motive on the part of the state.

Only minor arsenate reduction was observed in NaN~3~ supplemented microcosms with peat soil from 0 to 10 cm depth, while about half of the supplemented arsenate was reduced to arsenite in NaN~3~ supplemented microcosms with peat soil from 60 to 70 cm depth (Fig. [1](#emi14922-fig-0001){ref-type="fig"}C,E). This finding indicates that arsenate reduction was not completely inhibited by NaN~3~ in peat soil from 60 to 70 cm depth, which might be due to (i) incomplete inhibition caused by rather low NaN~3~ concentrations, (ii) microorganisms that were not affected by NaN~3~, or (iii) abiotic arsenate reduction with considerably lower reaction rates. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of NaN~3~ was not permanent: After 167 days of incubation, arsenate had been reduced to arsenite in the NaN~3~ supplemented incubations of both depths (Fig.deionized water, 270 and 210 μM sulphide accumulated within 167 days of incubation in microcosms with 0--10 and 60--70 cm peat respectively (Fig. [2](#emi14922-fig-0002){ref-type="fig"}A and [2](#emi14922-fig-0002){ref-type="fig"}B). In microcosms set up with mine process water, 265 μM sulphide had accumulated after 173 days and 330 μM after 433 days of incubation (Fig. [2](#emi14922-fig-0002){ref-type="fig"}C). Accumulation of sulphide was faster in microcosms with mine process water than in microcosms with deionized water. This difference occurred possibly due to the more readily available sulphate in incubations with mine process water (as mine process water contains 2100 mg L^−1^ sulphate). In fact, 91 μM sulphide accumulated within 11 days in microcosms with mine process water, while only 7 μM sulphide accumulated within 16 days in microcosms with deionized water (Fig. [2](#emi14922-fig-0002){ref-type="fig"}A,C).

Similarly, Faith\'s PD was significantly higher for *aioA* and *arsC* than for *arrA* (*p \<* 0.01), indicating that the phylogenetic diversity (PD) recovered was higher for *aioA* and *arsC*.

Both arsenite oxidation and arsenate reduction are feasible processes in the studied TPs. Moreover, it is conceivable that As cycling occurs within the peatlands, leading to a reduction of arsenate in the lower, anoxic peat layers or anoxic microenvironments in the upper layers followed by oxidation of arsenite in the upper, oxic layers. Such internal cycling might even occur repeatedly. Arsenite oxidizers, arsenate respirers and arsenic‐tolerating microorganisms were detected in both layers based on MPN counts and functional gene analysis (Figs [4](#emi14922-fig-0004){ref-type="fig"} and [6](#emi14922-fig-0006){ref-type="fig"}), indicating that those functional groups are present in the same layers, which might allow for switching between oxidizing and reducing processes even within the same layer with possible changes of environmental parameters. However, it was

*Conclusions and outlook* {#emi14922-sec-0010}
-------------------------

The present study characterized the microbial community composition within two TPs receiving mining‐affected waters using functional gene analysis and their As oxidation and reduction potential. The most important findings are summarized in Fig. [7](#emi14922-fig-0007){ref-type="fig"}. Both TPs efficiently removed As, even though removal efficiencies were lower in TP B. In TP A, total As concentrations were high and arsenate was the major As species in the inflow water, while total As concentrations were low in the outflow. In TP B, differences in the total As concentration between inflow and outflow were low, reflecting the smaller removal efficiencies of TP B. Like in TP A, arsenate was the dominant As species, however, the contribution of arsenite increased inusing standard approaches [@Boyd2004].

\[prop:dual-problem\] The Lagrangian dual problem of  is given by $$\begin{aligned}
&\mathop{\min}_{\bar\theta,\bar v,\bar\mu}\psi (\bar\theta,\bar
v,\bar\mu)
\label{eq:dual-problem1}\\
&{\rm subject\,\,to}\quad \bar B^T \bar\theta-\bar L^T\bar v- \bar
L^T\bar\mu=0,\nonumber
$$ where $\psi(\bar\theta,\bar v,\bar\mu ):= \frac{1}{2}\bar\theta^T
(\bar \Phi^T \bar D\bar\Phi)\bar \theta-\bar\theta^T\bar\Phi^T\bar
D\bar r^{\bar\pi}+\frac{1}{2}\bar v^T \bar v$.

The dual problem can be obtained by using the standard manipulations in [@Boyd2004 Chap. 5].

As in [@macua2015distributed], we again construct the Lagrangian function of , $L(\bar\theta,\bar v,\bar\mu,\bar w):=\psi(\bar\theta,\bar
v,\bar\mu)+[\bar B^T \bar\theta-\bar L^T\bar v-\bar L^T\bar\mu]^T
\bar w$, where $\bar w$ is the Lagrangian multiplier. Since  satisfies the Slater’s condition [@Boyd2004 pp. 226], the strong duality holds, i.e., $\mathop{\max}_{\bar w}\mathop{\min}_{\bar\theta,\bar v,\bar
\mu} L(\bar\theta,\bar v,\bar\mu,\bar
w)=\mathop{\min}_{\bar\theta,\bar v,\bar\mu}\mathop{\max}_{\bar w}
L(\bar\theta,\bar v,\bar\mu,\bar w)$, and the solutions of  are identical to solutions $(\bar\theta^*,\bar v^*,\bar\mu^*,\bar w)$ of the saddle point problem $L(\bar\theta^*,\bar v^*,\bar \mu^*,\bar w)\le
L(\bar\theta^*,\bar v^*,\bar\mu^*,\bar w^*) \le L(\bar\theta,\bar
v,\bar\mu,\bar w^*)$. In addition, the saddle points $(\bar

50)$, $\pi_4(s)=\pi(s;\$ 10,\$ 60)$, and $\pi_5(s)=\pi(s;\$ 10,\$ 70)$. To determine an investment strategy, each agent is interested in estimating an average of long term discounted profits of all agents as well as its own. When the current state is $s\in {\cal
S}$, the reward of each agent is $r_i^{\pi_i}=-s$ if $\pi_i={\rm
buy}$, and $r_i^{\pi_i}=s$ if $\pi_i={\rm sell}$. For this example, we used Gaussian radial basis functions as features of the linear function approximation with 11 parameters, i.e., $w_i\in {\mathbb R}^{11}$, we considered the discount factor $\gamma=0.5$, and we used a randomly generated Markov chain for the stock price process model. Using the single agent GTD [@sutton2009fast], each agent computed the approximate value functions $J_{w_i^*} = \Phi w_i^*,i\in {\cal V}$. The expected profits with the uniform initial state distribution are ${\mathbb E}_{s$f(x)=-Ax-b$; therefore, it is obviously continuous. The step size assumption is satisfied by the hypothesis. In addition, the set of stationary points ${\cal P}=\{ x \in C:\Gamma_{T_C}(-Ax-b)=0\}$ is compact. This is because ${\cal P}$ is expressed as ${\cal P} = \{x \in
C:-Ax-b \in N_C(x)\}$, where $N_C(x)$ is a convex closed cone, and its pre-image of an affine map is also closed. Therefore, ${\cal
P}$ is closed. ${\cal P} \subseteq C$, because $\Gamma_{T_C}(-Ax-b)=0$ only when $x\in C$. Since $C$ is compact and ${\cal P}$ is its closed subset, ${\cal P}$ is also compact. ${\cal P}$ can be also proved to be globally asymptotically stable following analysis given in [@bianchi2013convergence]. For completeness of the presentation, the brief proof is given in Appendix \[appendix:stable\]. Next, we will prove \[assumption:2\]. \[prop:convergence\] can be expressed as  with

Hydro Cons for Growing Cannabis

Setup Cost – Hydroponic setups are usually more expensive to set up initially, and some types of hydroponic growing may require some DIY.

Figuring Out Nutrients – Getting the nutrients “dialed in” can be difficult for some hydro growers (especially when combining nutrients and supplements from many different companies) unless you follow a proven formula. In hydro, growers have total control over nutrients, which means hydro growers can fix nutrient problems quickly, but also that nutrient problems should be monitored and fixed as soon as possible.

Root Problems – Many unprepared hydro growers run into problems at the roots, though it’s important to remember that there are several proven steps that can be taken to ensure happy,


reduction compared with wild-type N-EoCen. Among the tyrosines, Tyr79 is the shortest mean distance from the protein-bound Tb3+ (at sites I/II), as calculated via the Förster mechanism. The steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence parameters of the wild-type N-EoCen and the three double mutants suggest that Tyr79, which exists in a hydrophobic environment, has the highest quantum yield and a relatively long average lifetime. The decay of Tyr79 is the least heterogeneous among the three tyrosine residues. In addition, molecular modeling shows that a critical hydrogen bond is formed between the 4-hydroxyl group of Tyr79 and the oxygen from the side chains of the residue Asn39. Kinetic experiments on tyrosine and Tb3+ fluorescence demonstrate that tyrosine fluorescence quenching is largely due to the self-assembly of EoCen, and that the quenchingApp. 1991).

no duty, or right, to argue misjoinder.  In regard to his other reference,
appellant claims his due notice requirements were violated in that he was "clearly charged with only one act" and so he

violated, or how he believes his trial attorney failed to act professionally in regards to any notice requirement, but, in the
interest of justice, we will analyze this claim.  First, we consider the notice provided by the indictment. Defects of form or

The Constantinople massacre of 1821 was orchestrated by the authorities of the Ottoman Empire against the Greek community of Constantinople (modern Istanbul) in retaliation for the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence (1821–1830). As soon as the first news of the Greek uprising reached the Ottoman capital, there occurred mass executions, pogrom-type attacks, destruction of churches, and looting of the properties of the city's Greek population. The events culminated with the hanging of the Ecumenical Patriarch, Gregory V and the beheading of the Grand Dragoman, Konstantinos Mourouzis.

Background

In early March 1821, Alexandros Ypsilantis crossed the Prut river and marched into Moldavia, an event that marked the beginning of the Greek War of Independence. Immediately in response of rumors that Turks had been massacred by Greeks

the Texas Constitution, not the legislature.  See
City of Galveston, 217 S.W.3d at 469; City of Houston v. Torres, 321
S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. 1981).  They accordingly have “‘all the powers of the
state not inconsistent with the Constitution, the general laws, or the city’s
charter.’”  City of Galveston, 217 S.W.3d at 469 (quoting Proctor
v. Andrews, 972 S.W.2d 729, 733 (Tex. 1998)).  Thus, when a home-rule city
is sued for its performance of a governmental function and responds with a plea
to the jurisdiction, courts do not ask whether any statute grants immunity
from suit, but whether any statute limits the city’s immunity from
suit.  Id. (citing Proctor, 972 S.W.3d at 733).  The party suing
the governmental entity must establish the state’s consent to the suit, which
may be alleged either by reference to a statute or to


id. § 101.055.  Unless
the City also waived immunity from suits for exemplary damages and its immunity
from suits arising from the method of providing or the failure to provide
police protection, Joslyn would not have the same right as the spouse of an
employee killed through a private employer’s gross negligence to sue for
exemplary damages.  Thus, her complaint seems to be that the Texas Tort Claims
Act violates her state right to equal protection because it does not contain a
waiver of immunity from a suit for exemplary damages by the spouse of a
governmental employee killed while working due to the employer’s gross
negligence in providing police protection.
            These
allegations do not raise a valid equal-protection claim.  Joslyn does not
allege that she or her late husband belonged to a protected class.  She does
not claim thatsystematically to find obstructions to the existence of an Einstein metric within a given conformal class. We anticipate a similar use for Theorem \[modifiedtractors\] in establishing obstructions to the existence of a metric connection within a given projective class.

Q:

Forgot to add salt to rice before cooking. How can I add salt after cooking to fix that?

I cooked jasmine long grain rice - but forgot to add salt before cooking.
It is a small amount, about 250 ml dry rice.*
When the 20 min where over, I noticed I had forgotten the salt.
Adding salt by just scattering some crystalline salt on it gives a very irregular result.
I understand that salt is not needed for the cooking process itself - it is to be added for flavor.
How can I add an adequate amount of salt to cooked rice?
I think it is good enough to add salt to the surface of the cooked grains, and not necessarily to all grains. I would tolerate altered texture of the rice.

Free phosphorus and phosphonic acids and their salts are highly charged at physiological pH and therefore frequently exhibit poor oral bioavailiability, poor cell penetration and limited tissue distribution (e.g. CNS). In addition, these acids are also commonly associated with several other properties that hinder their use as drugs, including short plasma half-life due to rapid renal clearance, as well as toxicities (e.g. renal, gastrointestinal, etc.) (e.g. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 1998 May; 42(5): 1146-50). Phosphates have an additional limitation in that they are not stable in plasma as well as


degree of cell heterogeneity. Similar compounds as those described for hepatitis are also compounds that are useful for cancer (e.g. 2-Fluoroarabinosyladenosine (F-ara-A, Fludarabine), 2′2′-difluorodeoxycytidine (dFdC, Gemcitabine) and 5-fluorouracil or 5-fluoro-2′-deoxy uridine.
Hepatitis and liver cancer remain poorly treated with current therapies due to dose-limiting extrahepatic side effects or inadequate delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to the target tissue. Efforts to deliver drugs to the liver with relatively high organ specificity have primarily focused on strategies involving receptor mediated endocytosis (RME). RME transport systems are common to normal macrophages, hepatocytes, fibroblasts and reticulocytes. Macromolecules internalized via RME include asialoglycoproteins, LDL, transferrin and insulin. Another strategy for drug delivery to the liver uses colloids or liposomes both of which are subject to phagocytosis by the macrophage (Kupffer cells in liver) and localizationreferendum.

Although they’ve repeatedly stated that they don’t want a blanket ban on all Israeli companies, this begs the question — aren’t all Israeli companies complicit in alleged war crimes by giving funds to the state? If this interpretation is deemed appropriate by the AMS or SPHR in the future, we could see a ban on all Israeli goods, which has an impact on Israel’s right to exist.

There are many major corporations that the AMS is invested in that are complicit in occupation of Palestinian territories, including Coca-Cola, which owns a winery on allegedly occupied Palestinian land. Coca-Cola fits the definition of companies that they’d like to boycott — they support alleged war crimes and the illegal occupation of Palestinian land. Yet SPHR said that Coca-Cola won’t be boycotted.

(REUTERS/Brian Snyder) US Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton answers a question during a press conference about the FBI's reopening of a probe into her use of a private email server while secretary of State, in Des Moines, Iowa, on October 28, 2016. The FBI dealt Hillary Clinton's seemingly unstoppable White House campaign a stunning blow Friday by reopening a probe into her use of a private email server while secretary of state. / AFP / JEWEL SAMAD (JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/Getty Images) Up Next See Gallery Discover More Like This HIDE CAPTION SHOW CAPTION of SEE ALL BACK TO SLIDE

While Comey has not released a public statement since he alerted Congress via email of new information surrounding the Clinton Foundation case, Fox is reporting inside information on whereconsideration of the sale is the note. But an acceptor of a bill of exchange stands in the same position as the maker of a promissory note. If he has purchased on credit, and is denied possession until he shall make payment, the transaction ceases to be what it was intended, and is converted into a cash sale. Everybody understands that a sale on credit entitles the purchaser to immediate possession of the property sold, unless there be a special agreement that it may be retained by the vendor; and such is the well-recognized doctrine of the law. The reason for this is, that very often, and with merchants generally, the thing purchased is needed to provide means for the deferred payment of the price. Hence it is


lading to be delivered have been intrusted cannot reasonably be required to know, without instruction, that the transaction is not what it purports to be. He has no right to assume and act on the assumption that the vendee's term of credit must expire before he can have the goods, and that he is bound to accept the draft, thus making himself absolutely responsible for the sum named therein, and relying upon the vendor's engagement to deliver at a future time. This would be treating a sale on credit as a mere executory contract to sell at a subsequent date.

If the inference to be drawn from a time draft accompanied by a bill of lading is, not that it evidences a credit sale, but a request for advanceson the credit of the consignment, the consequence is the same. Perhaps it is even more apparent. It plainly is, that the acceptance is not asked on the credit of the drawer of the draft, but on the faith of the consignment. The drawee is not asked to accept on the mere assurance that the drawer will, at a future day, deliver the goods to reimburse the advances: he is asked to accept in reliance on a security in hand. To refuse to him that security is to deny him the basis of his requested acceptance: it is remitting him to the personal credit of the drawer alone. An agent for collection having the draft and attached bill of lading cannot be permitted, by declining to surrender the


Md. 590, which was a case of a time draft, accompanied by a bill of lading, hypothecated by the drawer, both for the acceptance and payment of the draft, and when the drawers had been authorized to draw against the cargo shipped, it was said by the court, 'Under their contract with the defendants, the latter were authroized to draw only against the cargo of wheat to be shipped by the 'Ocean Belle;' any they (the drawees) were, therefore, not bound to accept without the delivery to them of the bill of lading.' See also the language of the judges in Gurney v. Behrend, 3 Ell. & Bl. 622; Marine Bank v. Wright, 48 N. Y. 1; Cayuga Bank v. Daniels, 47 id. 631.

Timing an exit to ensure you receive your bonus is crucial, given that many companies have policies that require you to be employed when the bonus is actually paid out, often in the first quarter of the following year. Moreover, while it is common to give an employer two-week’s notice, it is preferable to wait until the bonus has been paid and has cleared your bank account before resigning. Why? “There is no federal law which requires the employer to pay employees or even allow them to work during that two-week notice period.”

enacting trademark legislation. Congress  sought to protect two groups: consumers and registered trademark  owners. See S. Rep. No. 1333, 19th Cong. 2d Sess., reprinted in  1946 U.S. Code Cong. Serv. 1274. In protecting these groups  lawmakers recognized that "[e]very product is composed of a  bundle of special characteristics." Societe Des Produits Nestle,  S.A. v. Casa Helvetia, Inc., 982 F.2d 633, 636 (1st Cir. 1992)  ("Nestle"). Consumers who purchase a particular product expect  to receive the same special characteristics every time. See id.  The Lanham Act protects these expectations by excluding others  from using a particular mark and making consumers confident that  they can purchase brands without being confused or misled. See  15 U.S.C. § 1114(1); S.a consumer decision to purchase the  product. In Graham Webb, the court noted that the removal of  batch codes resulted in "almost imperceptible scratches" that  were not likely to confuse consumers. 916 F. Supp. at 916. And  in Randalls Food Markets, the court stated that "there was no  evidence that removal of the batch codes defaced the bottles."  17 S.W.3d at 736. In the instant case, the etching on the  fragrance bottle is more than almost imperceptible scratches.  Indeed, the district court credited testimony that consumers may  regard the bottles as harmed or tampered with. We agree with the  district court that the physical difference created by the  obliteration of the batch code on PLD's product constitutes


Imports, 756 F.2d 1525, 1530 (11th Cir. 1985)). PLD's only  argument against a finding of irreparable injury is that  Davidoff cannot show a likelihood of confusion. Because we found  a likelihood of consumer confusion and thus reject PLD's only  argument against a finding of irreparable harm, and because the  likelihood of confusion is substantial, we will not overturn the  district court's finding of irreparable injury.

Regarding the balancing of potential harms, we agree with the  district court that the probable loss of consumer goodwill for  Davidoff outweighs the costs of delay that PLD will incur in not  being able to sell DAVIDOFF fragrances without the batch codes  until a decision on the merits. As the district court found, PLDyour site, you want to grow your audience and also keep them coming back.

This, plus several, largely unpublished samples received for study from the collections of the Muséum national d\'Histoire naturelle(MNHN), Paris, France, the Natural History Museum of Denmark(ZMUC), Copenhagen, Denmark, and the Bayerische Zoologische Staatssammlung(ZSM), Munich, Germany, has allowed us not only to finally clarify the tangled history of studies on *Diaphorodesmus*, but also to add a new genus and species described below.

Material and methods
====================

The material treated here derives from the collections of the Musée Royal de l\'Afrique Centrale(MRAC), Tervuren, Belgium, the MNHN, the ZMUC, and the ZSM. The samples are stored in 70% ethanol. Specimens for scanning electron microscopy(SEM) were air-dried, mounted on aluminium stubs, coated with gold and studied using a JEOL JSM-6480LV scanning electron


microscope. Photographs were taken with a Leica DFC 500 digital camera mounted on a Leica MZ16A stereo microscope. Images were processed with Leica Application Suite software.

In the species catalogue section, D stands for a description or descriptive notes (sometimes also including a key, discussion, new status, synonymy or combination), and R for new or old records.

Advances in wireless telecommunications are rapidly increasing the use cellular phones to handle communication of media and data between users and providers. Typically, cellular phones have connected to mobile networks, such as a wireless wide area network (WWAN) employing a wireless connection (e.g. 2G/3G/3.5G/4G). Further advances in technology have enabled cellular phones to connect to multiple networks, for example, WiFi (wireless fidelity) networks and/or Bluetooth® networks.
Typically, WiFi enabled cellular phones can connect to a cellular network or a WiFi network when the cellular phone is in the coverage area of the respective network. By employing these WiFi enabled cellular phones, users can leverage a wireless access points to access the Internet, an intranet and/or enterprise, and download information.

The FBI confirmed the departures to the paper and provided a statement from Resch.

“As I retire after 28 years of government service to transition into the private sector, I have full confidence that under Director [Chris] Wray’s steadfast leadership, the Bureau will remain the FBI the American people have depended on for 110 years,” the statement read.


Let’s face it: we buy our big kid clothes, we set up bank accounts, we finally learn to check our oil. But a lot of us are still struggling with the whole adult thing. We’ve made a few transitions- we update our iTunes ocassionally, and we have those fancy signatures at the end of our emails. But there are plenty of signs we’re still far from functioning adults.

Using the telephone is still a terrifying endeavour.

You base your furniture purchases on how easily it will fit in a UHaul.

You dread your 26th birthday, not because it means you’re officially in your mid to late 20s, but because it means you’ve lost your parents’ health insurance.

Your student debt is enough for a house down payment.

You still get mistaken for ayeast tRNA, calf thymus RNA, or calf thymus DNA, while those present in the sera of patients with SLE recognized all these nucleic acid antigens. The IgE antibodies directed against nDNA, dnDNA, RNA, and tRNA may mediate mast cell and basophil degranulation and thus contribute both to immediate-type hypersensitivity phenomena including hives seen in patients with SLE and to the localization of IgE-nucleic acid complexes in target tissues.

Logan said there had to be some serious digging to discredit her story.

“There was a lot of other significant reporting in there. Think of all those people trying to tear that piece to shreds and they were only able to cast doubt over two things one guy of the three characters had to say,” she said.

Logan believes she was silenced over something that didn’t ultimately matter that much to the overall story.

When Google went public on August 19, 2004, Sergey included a letter in our prospectus for investors, describing how the founders felt about their 1,907 employees. The italics are his:

_Our employees, who have named themselves Googlers, are everything. Google is organized around the ability to attract and leverage the talent of exceptional technologists and business people. We have been lucky to recruit many creative, principled and hard working stars. We hope to recruit many more in the future.I've seen that spend as much time on performance management and promotions as we do are colleges and firms run like partnerships. At both, promotion eventually leads to you becoming something like a permanent part of the family, either as a tenured professor or a partner. Great care is taken in making a long-term commitment to you.

We put the same care into our reviews out of necessity. Google's revenues and headcount have grown roughly 20 to 30 percent in each of the past five years. We do our best to hire people who have a proven aptitude for learning, and then do everything we can to help them grow as fast as they can. Making sure our people are developing is not a luxury. It's essential for our


word other than 'guilty.' " His next question to Captain Picard is, "Criminal, how do you plead?" to which Picard answers, "Guilty... provisionally." Since Picard is now both not guilty ("provisionally") and not dead, the coercive condition falls away. Robinson's clever idea is to do the same with exploding offers: "I accept, provisionally." The gambit is to present a reasonable condition (e.g., "provided I can meet with the person I will be working for"; "provided I don't get a better offer from the companies I'm still waiting to hear from") that causes the deadline to pass. "Once the deadline passes," Robinson argues, "the credibility of the threat is destroyed."

xxxiii The asterisks are mine. This is a family book, after all.

xxxiv Though Kent is also honest enough to admitThe ontological argument for God’s existence has also resurfaced since it was laid out by St. Anselm in the 11th Century, particularly by Descartes and Leibniz.

Old metaphysical theories are never totally defeated. Their defenders simply die out. Once people forget that a metaphysical theory has been exploded by argument, it creeps back again, for it is always possible to hold any metaphysical theory, no matter how absurd it may seem to some. For example, I might persist in the belief that I exist in the Matrix, despite the fact that I have no empirical evidence for it, nor does any empirical experience make the hypothesis self-contradictory.

The case of God is perhaps the most urgent issue in practical metaphysics, for the simple reason that religious beliefs have the widest

was writing about the
most expensive thing
you could put in a shoe box.
And I've looked up prices
of a bunch of hard drugs
and then realized my
search history is now
how much does heroin cost?
How much does LSD cost?
OK, but, like, on the
street, in the city,
how much does it cost?
Or what about this city-- trying
to get a real practical street
price.
But really the only
consequence I've ever suffered
was there was an article I was
writing a couple of months ago,
and at one point I wanted to
include a sample of the items
in the collection of
the Library of Congress
and what kinds of things
they were on the whole.
And it was sort of hard
to get broad statistics
of the kind I wanted.
So I figured, oh, hey,
I'll just randomly sample
their collection and look at 100
items and see how many of them
are


tables,
like "CRC Handbook
of Chemistry" that
list all of the elements and
every conceivable property
you could want.
And actually during the
street drug research,
I remember I was
trying to figure out
cocaine density, or
something like that,
and found that they actually
have a whole bunch of data
on a bunch of these, but
for some of the drugs
they have mysteriously
missing chunks.
I didn't know if those were
removed for some reason--
if that's sensitive information,
or if it's just no one else has
really tried to figure out the
physics of a shoe box of LSD.
In the handbooks, if
you look up astatine,
you'll find all its
density and stuff
and its various properties.
But if you look at--
surface appearance
is a field that they'll have
where they'll say is it shiny?
Is it reddish?
Is it matte?
Does it have a luster?
Is it black?
And astatine will just
have a question mark,
because there is no way--
ifa
whole bunch more and more
and more energy all at once.
And the energy
released-- so if you
were able to watch this whole
scenario from very, very, very
far away, on one of
the mountains-- which
way are the
prevailing winds here?
They come in from the ocean,
so I guess from the west,
out over the east, so maybe
to the south in the mountains,
southwest-- anyway you
would first see this,
because the energy released
in the first few seconds
would be on the order of that
from a medium-sized nuclear
weapon.
But because of
these decay chains,
these things just continue and
continue decaying and decaying.
So it's like a nuclear bomb
which just keeps exploding.
And what happens is you've
got your wall, which
existed for-- if it's made
out of one liter blocks,
I guess it'll be a
couple of metres wide.
It will take light in the
neighborhood of 10 nanoseconds
to cross from one side
of


like in
the direction of the Earth's
motion.
If they were pointed toward the
direction the Earth was going,
you get to add on the
Earth's 30 kilometers
a second speed around
the sun, when you're
trying to get up to
the escape velocity.
And so this thing could be going
over 100 kilometers a second,
which would send it straight
out of the solar system.
And it would be going
way, way faster,
even after it had lost
all its speed there
than the Voyager probes
at their fastest.
And so that would now be our
first representative heading
for the stars, which is
a really appealing idea.
And I think I came
up with-- I was
digging through these files
trying to find what time of day
did this happen, so which
way would the shaft have
been pointed?
And I think that the
Earth's speed came out
as kind of a wash.
But it's also sort
of a moot point,
because furtherwith all the people I meet. I even feel like my relationship with my family has improved and I’m starting to surround myself with better quality friends.
