identify and develop the capabilities required to prevent, treat, manage and evacuate casualties across joint operations. For Phase 4, Joint Health Command (JHC) was tasked with developing an e-health knowledge management ‘harmonised’ solution that will cover the garrison and deployed settings. The intent is to improve the ADF’s deployable and garrison health capability, and deliver optimum services for the prevention, treatment and evacuation of casualties through a ‘whole-of-system’ approach to the delivery of health support. Development Officer LTCOL David Bullock, of JHC, said the cur- rent methodology to capture deployed Defence health data was predominantly analogue. “The e-health knowledge management solution will give operational commanders and command health advisers situational awareness of the end-to-end, synchronous, deployable health continuum available in any area of operations,” he said. “This will

treatments in both the experiments. At the end of the first experiment, the majority of the established propagules colonized the mesocosm. At population level, total stolon length was substantially affected by the interaction between propagule pressure and native presence treatment (Table [1](#Tab1){ref-type="table"}, Fig. [1](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}). In the absence of *C*. *prolifera*, stolons grown with high propagule pressure were longer than those with low propagule pressure. With high pressure, stolons grown with *C*. *prolifera* were longer than those without *C*. *prolifera*, while no difference was found with low propagule pressure between native treatments. The number of fronds was considerably higher in populations developed without the native irrespective of propagule supply. Instead, total biomass did not differ among treatments.

Discussion {#Sec3}
==========

Our study focuses on still poorly investigated aspects of the invasion of marine environments by non-native clonal macrophytes, i.e., the role of vegetative propagule pressure and its interaction with biotic resistance in determining the outcome of invasion, and the impact of vegetative propagule pressure on the performance of resident species. Ecologists have manipulated propagule supply (i.e. seeds and vegetative propagule) both in the field and in mesocosm to study the invasibility of terrestrial plant communities for decades^[@CR42]^. To our knowledge, our study is the first attempt to evaluate the effects of vegetative propagule pressure (both at population level and single plant) on the growth and intensity of plant-plant interactions of an invasiveresulting in a consistent reduction of biomass (up to 50%) compared to control, and the impact increased with increasing propagule pressure. Although our study was not designed to compare the competitive ability of the two species, the greater biomass reduction observed in a single *C*. *prolifera* individual compared to that observed in a *C*. *cylindracea* one when grown in the presence of one individual of the other species, suggests that this latter species could have higher competitive superiority on the congeneric. This is consistent with a previous study suggesting that *C*. *cylindracea* would be the favoured species in the outcome of the competition with another congeneric, *Caulerpa taxifolia* (Vahl) C. Agardh, invasive in the Mediterranean Sea^[@CR43]^.

According to some researchers, the competitive superiority of NNS on native ones may


different habitats by clonal seaweeds, the interaction between vegetative propagule pressure and biotic resistance has formally not been investigated. Failure to include this factor can make it difficult to determine if differences in invasibility across habitats are effectively due to differential susceptibility to invasion (or resistance of resident communities) or rather result from variations in propagule input^[@CR48],[@CR49]^. Even when the invasion extent of two different habitats is similar, the mechanisms of invasion may differ; for example, in one habitat (as observed, for example in a bare substrate) the invader might have established under low propagule pressure while in the other one (as found here, for example in a vegetated substrate) the invader might have established under high propagule pressure.

From a management point of view, the approach required toon minimizing the risk of new propagule introductions to limit the spread of the invasive species.

=====================

Experimental design {#Sec5}
-------------------

We conducted two separate mesocosm experiments in an outdoor aquaculture system set up on a coastal dune area at the INVE Aquaculture Research Center of Rosignano Solvay (Italy), and equipped following a protocol established for successfully growing marine plants^[@CR50]^. The first experiment examined the main and interactive effects of propagule pressure and native species presence on the colonization success (establishment and spread) of the non-native invasive *C*. *cylindracea*. The second experiment assessed the impact of different levels of propagule pressure of *C*. *cylindracea* on the clonal growth of the native.

Before the start of the experiments (March 2015), plastic growth containers (240 mm diameter × 220 mm height), filled with natural sediment (carbonate


the mesocosms were randomly attributed to one of the following treatments: no exposure to the invader *C*. *cylindracea* (one *C*. *prolifera* individual alone or control), low pressure (one *C*. *prolifera* individual subjected to the invasion by one propagule of *C*. *cylindracea* with) or high pressure (one *C*. *prolifera* individual subjected to the invasion by three propagules of *C*. *cylindracea)*. There were three replicates per treatment in each of the two tanks, 18 mesocosms in total.

In both the experiments, *C*. *prolifera* fragments were planted in centre of the mesocosms and *C*. *cylindracea* propagules were placed in randomly chosen positions at the edge of the *C*. *prolifera* fragment. The mesocosms were randomly assigned to new positions in each of the two tanks every month to minimize biases caused by variationsIslamist targets inside Libya. [2]

On June 8, LNA spokesman Colonel Ahmad al-Mismari presented audio, video and documentary evidence of massive political and military interference by Qatar in Libya since the 2011 revolution, comprising a wave of assassinations (including an attempt on Haftar’s life), recruitment and transport of Libyan jihadists to Syria, funding of extremist groups and training in bombing techniques via Hamas operatives from the Khan Yunis Brigade. Much of this activity was allegedly orchestrated by Muhammad Hamad al-Hajri, chargé d’affaires at the Qatari embassy in Libya, and intelligence official General Salim Ali al-Jarboui, the military attaché (al-Arabiya, June 9; The National [Abu Dhabi], June 8).

Mismari also claimed on June 22 to have records of “secret meetings” held by the Sudan Armed Forces and attended by Sudanese president


Ismail serving a prominent member of the Benghazi Defense Brigades (BDB) coalition. He is reputed to have a close relationship with Qatari intelligence chief Ghanim bin Khalifa al-Kubaisi (al-Arabiya, June 9).

Al-Sadiq Abd al-Rahman Ali al-Gharaini – The 75-year-old al-Ghariani was, until recently, the controversial Grand Mufti of Libya and the head of the Dar al-Ifta, the office responsible for issuing fatwa-s (religious rulings). The Mufti considers Haftar and those under him to be “infidels” and has called for the destruction of the HoR, which voted to sack him in November 2014. The Dar al-Ifta office in Tripoli was shut down by the GNA on June 1, 2017, and all its contents were confiscated (al-Arabiya, June 1). A strong supporter of Qatar’s involvement in Libya who commands the allegiancewant to fight and kill anyone who disagrees with them” (Libya Herald, June 12).

The most prominent of these are:

He became the focus of attention when it was revealed that he was a close friend of the father of Manchester bomber Salman Abedi as well as the founder of an Islamic youth group to which Salman belonged. In 2016, his own son Awais was killed fighting alongside extremists in Benghazi. Ghwaila is an important official in al-Ghariani’s Tanasuh Foundation and a regular preacher on the Mufti’s Tanasuh TV station (Libya Herald, June 6).

Brigadier General Mustafa al-Sharkasi – A professional soldier and former air force colonel in the Gaddafi-era, al-Sharkasi has emerged as the dominant commander in the BDB. Turning against the regime, he acted as a militia commander in Misrata during the revolution. Once part of Haftar’s LNA, he is now bitterly opposed to him (Libya Herald, November 13, 2016).

Al-Saadi al-Nawfali – The leader of the Operations Room for the Liberation of the Cities of Ajdabiya and Support for the Revolutionaries of Benghazi. This group cooperates closely with the BDB, in which he also holds a leadership position. Al-Nawfali has been variously described as an al-Qaeda operative, a former Ansar al-Sharia commander in Ajdabiya and a supporter of Islamic State (IS) forces.

was so comfortable that I didn’t get up to say goodbye to Julie. Such bad form. I did get up to go get breakfast with Patrick in town and then to catch a train to my cousin, Christine. I left a little present. When I saw Patrick and Julie’s place I knew my present to them would fit right in. A stuffed wombat. My last! Patrick took a photo and sent it to Julie and she loved it too. I was so pleased.

Patrick and I walked into town and had an excellent breakfast. It was really good. Then I caught the train across London, beyond the castle…etc until I reached Lewisham quite by accident as I’d taken the wrong train. Thank god for mobile phones. Christine introduced mehome. That evening we watched telly and ate a sort of tapas meal. It was very yummy.

Some shots around Brighton. Little laneways between buildings etc.

My stepson lives in Brighton so Beans and I caught up with him on the Sunday for breakfast. We had a lovely vegan meal and then did some more shopping. We really wanted to get presents for family etc. There was a protest that went right by us as we ate breakfast. It was the Labour Party conference in Brighton that weekend.

Here are some final shots of Brighton, the lovely vegetarian tapas plate from Terre a Terre. The boutique decorated with the sewing machines etc.

After much discussion where Nick didn’t really listen to us, he drove us to Heathrow Airport. It was a slow


It was great walking around the streets of London. I wanted to stay in London for a week just to walk around and get acquainted with the place but time ran out when we were booking things.

Claire bought me a pint of cider and we headed upstairs to where the Tun meet.

The TUN meeting was pretty amazing really. So many people coming in and it was quite vibrant and alive with talk. The room they meet in is upstairs and quiet, until it is filled up with SF fans. I met up with Kylie Ding, met Caroline, who I had not met and Patrick McMurray, who I hosted as a GUFF delegate years ago. Fiona Moore showed up and we hugged. We met at Worldcon and were onwe saw one.

These next are from Avebury. I love this place. We didn’t get to go to the manor house which is worth it, but we did get to walk among the stones and the guide was good too. The last two shots are of the shop.

It was quite cold so I invested in another set of beanie and mittens.

Next stop Lacock. We didn’t get to go into the manor, not enough time and they were filming in there. Also there is the Talbot museum which I’ve seen before but not this time. We did the film tribute thing having a tour of the town. Some of the buildings are very old.

This street shot above is where Harry and Dumbledore materialise in Godrick’s Hollow.

The oldest house in Lacock.

This


house has witches crosses on the roof.

These are from the small village of Castle Coombe, with the small market cross and the Norman knight buried in the church.

When we got back to Bath after the tour we wondered around for a bit, not for a moment thinking we should check what time the buses left. It turns out that the last bus departed at 6.00pm and we were stuck in Bath unless we caught a cab, which we had to do. It was $26 pounds plus a tip. We then rocked up to the Butchers Arms for dinner to be told they stopped serving food at 3.00pm. We were over it by this time and just went back to the BnB and bed. Next day checkout. So checkingfor the taxi’s phone number and booked a cab. Phew!

We arrived in good time with a nice, chatty private taxi driver who delivered us to the door of Bath Spa train station. Then we tried to sort our tickets. Beans noticed that our taxi driver couldn’t restart his car. He still hadn’t started his car when we moved upstairs to the station. We felt bad for him. There is this little café called Dashi on Station number two at Bath Spa. They have vegan sushi and their sandwiches aren’t bad either. We settled in there. Bean’s tummy was still a bit unsettled unfortunately. Lots of acid pain for her. Me I enjoyed my chicken and corn sandwich that was so fresh. We stocked up at that café for


was a bombing at Parsons Green on a metro train. We watched that on the news for a bit but it gets too overwhelming so we turned the tv off and continued with our plans.

We went to the Bluebell Railway in nearby by Sheffield Park. Steam trains! It was an amazing set up. They have a train station, actually they have three and the trust bought up the tracks and restored them. We took a steam train to East Grinstead. We checked out the shed with all the old engines and the museum. We were a bit confused about the time the train left and I heard the whistle and said what’s that? We went outside and saw the train pull away. You should have seen our faces.on that collection. We are then meeting some SF fans at the Old Cheshire Cheese Pub in Fleet Street. I went to this pub in 2000. I remember this because Tony was on the phone and I was reading a book. I read in the book that the people were meeting at the Old Cheshire Cheese at the same time Tony said to a friend, Okay we’ll meet at the Old Cheshire Cheese. And the next day I’m catching up with Barbara, who I have known since the old Purple Zone days on the Harper Collins Australia bulletin board. Takes me back. Barbara moved back to the UK a few years back.

This may be my last post on this trip. I’m not sure. I head back to Australia


that was fine because left overs. Fionna had found a recipe for vegan bread. It was delicious and had chopped hazelnuts in it. Tea and toast is an excellent breakfast for me! We used the last of our vegemite there.

We also met the best fannish dog, Leia, as in General Leia Organa. There was also Lego! Lego daleks!

On our first full day we went into Dublin for the day. It was sunny and lovely and mild. A fantastic day. We visited the Glass…cemetery which had a museum attached. Visiting Dublin you can’t help to discover the political history and the 1916 uprising. In the cemetery a number of the 1916 martyrs were buried. The museum also contained illustrations of different religions approaches to death and burial.

We had lunchup?” And “Thank god we are going down hill! Yay!” “God I’m tired I don’t think I can lift my feet”. I did nearly tip myself into a moulin. hahaha!

These are some distance shots of the glacier.

We also saw a couple of waterfalls on the way. This one we got to walk behind (Selfoss). You did this at your own risk. There was some slippery rocks to climb over and the spray was so cold and wet too. There were other waterfalls nearby.

These other pics were of the landscape. Not good taken from the bus. There was just so much.

The hot stream was entirely bone warming despite the walk to get there. I giggled as I walked down this incredible hill, because I knew I had to walk


about which tram to take and headed off with our bags on wheels. My daughter’s bag is new and the wheels work really well. My bag has temperamental wheels, which means they randomly stop working. We went to the tram stop in front of central station. We waited for a while and realised the rumoured tram number 5 was not appearing on the schedule. We had out our maps and were discussing things and arguing as tourists do when someone took pity on us. We were at the wrong tram stop and we needed tram #4. So this woman pointed us to where we needed to go.

All the trams we’d been riding on had wide doorways with little or no stairs. The tram to the ferry terminal hadI asked one bus driver and he said “no’ when I asked if he was going to Central. Another tourist just took any bus. She said that it was bound to put down near a metro stop. She probably had the right idea because Slussen does have a metro stop. So we waited with our huge suitcases. Then a 53 bus came and it did go to central station. Another couple from the ship got on but they had no ticket so had to get off and go find one. Thank heavens we bought our ticket on the ship. We had help finding Central Station and then we followed the signs to the metro. Our instructions were pretty straightforward. We are out in the burbs. Unfortunately, we got

defined by ${{\bf Q}}_{L,i{-1/2}}$ on the left and ${{\bf  Q}}_{R,i{-1/2}}$ on the right of each computational cell interface. AstroBEAR implements three different methods for computing the upwinded flux, the HLLD flux as described in as described in [@hlld] the Roe flux, and the Marquina flux.

The Roe flux method [@roe-flux] calls for the decomposition of the cell edge states into eigenmodes of a linearized system matrix. In the case of MHD we utilize the approximate linearized Riemann solver of @rj-rs. We write this decomposition in terms of the eigenvalues $a_m(Q)$, right eigenvectors ${{\bf R}}_m(Q)$ and left eigenvectors ${{\bf L}}_m(Q)$ given in §2.2 of [@rj-rs] where the subscript $m$ denotes the $m^{th}$ eigenmode. Singularities which arise, in certain limiting cases, in the normalization of the eigensystem are avoided innumerical flux.

The MUSCL-Hancock predictor-corrector temporal discretization achieves second order accuracy by advancing the grid-face interpolated states by a half-time-step using a one dimensional predictor step. The predictor step is carried forward according to: $$\begin{aligned}
{{\bf Q}}_{L,i{+1/2}}^{t+\Delta t/2} &=& {{\bf Q}}_{L,i{+1/2}}^{t} +
   \frac{\Delta t}{2 \Delta x} \left({{\bf F}}_x({{\bf Q}}_{R,i-1}^{t})-{{\bf F}}_x({{\bf Q}}_{L,i+1}^{t})\right) + \frac{\Delta t}{2}{{\bf S}}({{\bf Q}}_i) \nonumber \\
{{\bf Q}}_{R,i{-1/2}}^{t+\Delta t/2} &=& {{\bf Q}}_{R,i{-1/2}}^{t} +
   \frac{\Delta t}{2 \Delta x} \left({{\bf F}}_x({{\bf Q}}_{R,i-1}^{t})-{{\bf F}}_x({{\bf Q}}_{L,i+1}^{t})\right)  + \frac{\Delta t}{2}{{\bf S}}({{\bf Q}}_i). \label{predictor}\end{aligned}$$ Note that the predictor step uses the cell centered, volume average fluxes. The Riemann problem at the cell interfaces is not solved and the upwinded flux at the cell-faces are not needed for this step.

The MUSCL-Hancock corrector step calls for the construction of a second order,


time centered fluxes are then computed via the interpolation formula, $${{\bf \tilde F}}_{x,i{-1/2}}^{t+\Delta t/2} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{\bf \tilde F}}({{\bf Q}}_{x,i{-1/2}}^{t}) +
                                         {{\bf \tilde F}}({{\bf Q}}_{x,i{-1/2}}^{t+\Delta t}) \right).
\label{nft2}$$ This flux may be used to carry forward a fully second order, unsplit update via equation \[update\]. The unsplit nature of the Runge-Kutta time stepping is a significant advantage of the method. The Runge-Kutta scheme also has a comparative advantage in that it is pressure positivity-preserving and therefore more robust. However, the method entails somewhat greater computational cost due toa given refinement level. The algorithm is adaptive in time, with each level advanced in time increments $dt_{level} = dt_{level-1}/r$ where $r$ is the refinement ratio of the level. Gray vertical arrows represent restriction and refluxing of the solution on refined grids to their parent level. Black vertical arrows represent prolongation of the solution from the coarse level to its parent level.

$m_{bc}=3$. The Runge-Kutta temporal integration method (§\[te\]) has been implemented via additional rows of ghost cells to fully update the interior region with $m_{bc}=4$. The update of the extended region of ghost cells is illustrated in figure \[f6\] for a refinement ratio $r=2$. The initial representation of the field is at time $t$. The first integration cycle carries all cells interior to the first ring of $m_{bc}$ ghost zones shaded in dark gray forward in time from $t$ to $t+dt/2$. On the second integration cycle, the interior cells shaded in dark gray are carried forward in time from $t$ to $t+dt/2$. The second integration step can be carried out because the outermost ring of $m_{bc}$ ghost zones are outside of the domain of influence on the interior cells.

The “Synchronize to Parent” call carries forward the synchronization of the solution on a given level to its parent grid. The synchronization procedure is composed of two steps: application of coarse to fine level refluxing and restriction of the solution. In the


The problem contains an initially singular current sheet along the surface and a singular spike at the center which is very sensitive to error in the evolution of the magnetic field. The propagation of these singular features through the grid serves as a very stringent test of the MHD update algorithm. We find that both methods maintain the correct location of these singularities and maintain magnetic field contours that are smooth and nearly symmetric about the current spike.

The top and center portions of the right column of figure \[f11\] show the evolution of the spatially averaged magnetic energy normalized to the initial analytic value $B_o$ for the MUSCL-Hancock and Runge-Kutta integration approaches respectively for different grid resolutions. We find that both methods show comparable accuracy and the expectedsimulation results show excellent agreement with that of [@rjf] at each evolutionary stage shown in the panels of figure \[f13\]. The agreement of the AMR simulations presented here with the earlier works demonstrates the robustness and accuracy of the divergence preserving restriction and prolongation procedures presented in §\[prores\] and the adaptations thereof for cylindrical geometry presented in the appendix.

The conservative update procedure for integrating the ideal MHD equations §\[method\] may be readily extended to the case cylindrical axisymmetric flows via a change in the coordinate variables and the addition of a source term to equation \[fullmhd\]. In particular, the coordinate subscripts transform as as $(x,y,z), \to
(r,\theta,z)$ and the source term becomes: $$\begin{aligned}
{{\bf S}} = -\frac{1}{r} & [\rho v_r , \rho v_r^2-B_r^2+B_{\theta}-\rho v_{\theta}^2, 2 (\rho v_r v_{\theta} - B_{\theta}B_r), \rho v_r v_z - B_z B_r , \nonumber \\
  & v_r(E+P+{{\bf B}}^2/2)-B_r({{\bf B}} \cdot {{\bf v}}) , 0 , 0by the solid line in FIG. 3. Accordingly, either one of the line lock clock signal or the burst lock clock signal is supplied to the signal processor 10. The signal processor 10 receives the video signal from the video signal input terminal 1, and performs digital signal processing by using the clock signal supplied through the switch 8a to improve image quality. The processed video signal is then transmitted through the video signal output terminal 12.
The phase comparator 7 receives and compares the line lock clock signal 3 and the burst lock clock signal 5. The comparator 7 then supplies a signal to switch 8b corresponding to the phase difference between the line lock clock signal 3 and the burst lock clock signal 5. As with switch

In, addition they introduce a new term proportional to $r^2$. In the remaining part of this article we will consider only sub-alfvènic poloidal flows so that $M^2 <1$.

A new dependent variable: $\chi = \chi(\psi)$
---------------------------------------------

The fact that the alfvènic Mach number $M$ in a constant density equilibrium is a flux function allows us to bring back the operator on the l.h.s. of Eq.(\[GSL\]) to its standard GS form by redefining the dependent variable $\psi$. Following Refs. we define the new dependent variable $\chi = \chi[\psi(r,z)]$ as $$\label{Morr}
\chi(\psi) = \int ^\psi [1 - M^2(\eta)]^{1/2} d \eta,$$ where $M^2(\eta) <1$. Then, we obtain $$\label{tr}
\mathbf{\nabla\cdot}\left[  \left(
1-\frac{\mathcal{F}^{2}}{4\pi\rho}\right)
\frac{1}{r^{2}} \,{\mathbf{\nabla}\psi}\right]  +\frac{\mathcal{FF}^{^{\prime}}%
}{4\pi\rho} \frac{\left\vert  \mathbf{\nabla}\psi\right\vert
^{2}}{r^2} =   (1-M^2)^{1/2} \mathbf{\nabla\cdot}\left[   \frac{1}{r^{2}}\,{\mathbf{\nabla}\chi}\right]  .$$ Finally, re-expressing the flux functions of $\psi$ onand conveniently rescale the variable $\psi$ such that for all cases $a_0 = 1/4$. Inserting Eq. (\[Dgen0\]) into Eq.(\[GSst\]) one obtains, thanks to the invariance of Eq.(\[GSst\]) under the scaling symmetry $X_1$ (\[sy1\]), an O.D.E., which is given by $$\label{Dgen1}
(8 y^3 - 12 y^2  + 4 y)\, \phi^{\prime \prime}   + (12 y^2   -10 y)\, \phi^{\prime }   + (- 3 y/2 +1/4 ) \, \phi
 =$$ $$= 1/{ (4\, {\phi}^3 )} +  {a_2\,  y }/{ {\phi}^7  } .$$ For $  a_2= -3/2$, Eq.(\[Dgen1\]) is solved by $\phi \equiv 1$ and returns the result of Sec.\[D\]. For different values of $ a_2$, keeping $\phi(1) = 1$ as a normalization condition on $\psi$, Eq.(\[Dgen1\]) can be easily solved numerically.


$\phi (y) $ reaches zero at a finite value $ {\bar y} =  {\bar y}  (a_2) $. For $y\to{\bar y} $, i.e., for $z^2 \to r^2 ( 1 - 1/{\bar y}) $, it behaves locally as $\phi (y)  \propto  ( {\bar y} -y)^{1/4}$ which corresponds to $\psi (r,z)\propto [z^2 - r^2 (1- 1/{\bar y})]^{1/4}$. In this case a complementary solution can be found for $  {\bar y} < y < \infty $ which starts as $\phi (y)  \propto  (y-  {\bar y} )^{1/4}$ and behaves as $\propto  y ^{1/4}$ for $y\to \infty$.\
The structure in the $r$-$z$ half-plane of the solutions with $a_2  > - 3/2$, after being transformed according to Eq.(\[solex\]), is similar to that of the D-shaped solution=$$ $$= 1/(4 {\phi}^3 ) +  {a_2\,  y }/{ {\phi}^7  }  +  {a_4 \,y^2}/{ {  \phi}^{11} }.$$ As in Sec.(\[AES\]) the exceptional symmetry allows us to construct a family of D-shaped equilibria[@note1] which now include plasma flows (r,z)/r\^[1/2]{}= ( y\_, a\_2,a\_4)/ y\^[1/4]{}\_.These solutions can again be visualized as the level curves of $r^{1/2}$ times a function that now depends on both $a_2$ and $a_4$ and that is constant on the borders of the lunes defined in Sec.\[AES\].\
Note that for $a_4 \not= 0$ there is no constant solution $\phi = 1$, while Eq.(\[init\]) is changed into 2 \^(1) = 3/2 + a\_2 +a\_4.

Three classes of solutions of Eq.(\[Dgen1bis\]) can be identified depending on the values of $a_2$ and $a_4$ as indicated in Fig.\[regions\].

exhibits three magnetic axes along the toroidal direction. Thus this solution corresponds to a configuration made of three sets of surfaces, each set nested around one of the magnetic axes. Each set can be considered as an independent equilibrium configuration. The configuration centered at the middle axis is D shaped while the outer configuration has a crescent shape. A similar structure, but with steeper gradients, is obtained for solutions from region $B$. In this latter case the three sets of surfaces are separated by the $\chi = 0$ surface.

Conclusions
===========

In this article we have developed a method based on the Lie symmetries of the GS and of the GGS equations that we have identified by imposing specific relationships between the flux functions of the magnetic fluxin CD and UC patients, depending on the study ([Supplementary Tables S5 and S6](#app1-ijms-21-03856){ref-type="app"}). However, propionic acid, butanoic acid, isobutyric acid, and pentanoic acid were all observed to be decreased in CD and UC patients ([Supplementary Table S6](#app1-ijms-21-03856){ref-type="app"}). Interestingly, only animal studies using the acute DSS mouse model or the TNBS (2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid) rat model reported differentiated levels of SCFAs ([Supplementary Tables S7 and S8](#app1-ijms-21-03856){ref-type="app"}). Acetic acid was decreased in the DSS model, while butanoic acid was decreased in the TNBS model ([Supplementary Table S8](#app1-ijms-21-03856){ref-type="app"}). Dong et al. \[[@B13-ijms-21-03856]\] also observed butanoic acid to be decreased, but only on the first day of DSS, after which it was increased throughout the experiment.

for abstract and full-text screenings, the latter of which was performed independently by L.A.K and R.D., the former by L.A.K. only. In cases of discrepancies between the independent screenings, these were resolved by a discussion between the two screening authors. The flowchart of the study screening process in Covidence can be seen in [Figure 1](#ijms-21-03856-f001){ref-type="fig"}. In spite of a thorough literature search strategy, many irrelevant studies were still included in the search results. Of the 409 screened studies, 318 studies were excluded already during the abstract screening due to a number of reasons. More than half of the 318 excluded studies were reviews, editorials, or abstracts. A few were in a language other than English or Danish or duplicates not removed by the reference program. Others were onkick in until the second year of his deal begins July 1. There are also ways to convince players to waive their NMCs if the circumstances are right.

But would those trades yield returns that’d actually put the Hawks back in contention? That could be the hardest part. And given the Hawks are already over the salary cap with their current roster, trades are the only path to real changes this summer.

The young guys are good, not great

The Blackhawks don’t have an Auston Matthews. Heck, they don’t even have a Mitch Marner. Unless Alex DeBrincat manages to overcome his lack of size and become one of the best 5’7 hockey players of all-time, there’s not really a clear potential superstar in the organization.

backup DC battery power creates an inconsistency between the power source types being delivered to the lighting device. Thus, the need for an AC-DC convertor is naturally required to make at least one of the sources compatible with the lighting device. However, the existence of an AC-DC converter is space consuming, especially within the confines of a light bulb or light fixture lamp, and causes the electrical components to become more unstable due to the heat by-product.
The present invention seeks to improve upon such prior art by providing an emergency lighting device that is adaptable to preexisting lighting systems and includes a backup power source that operates in the event of a power outage without requiring special wiring.reported police assertions that many of the objects had allegedly reached the market through "Italian dealers Giacomo Medici and Gianfranco Becchina, both convicted of trafficking in plundered Roman artifacts." You may read more about Medici's activities in the 2007 nonfiction book, The Medici Conspiracy by Peter Watson and Cecilia Todeschini. (Watson spoke at ARCA's art crime conference in Amelia in 2011).

Here's a link to a 2012 ARCA Blog post by ARCA CEO Lynda Albertson on the 90 formerly looted objects displayed at the Villa Giulia in Rome that had also been returned (with an explanation about the history of the Etruscan black-figure kelps attributed to the Micali painter or his workshop).

Scotland. His queen -- a quiet but persistently devout Catholic -- Henrietta Maria, so memorably portrayed by Van Dyck in such overtly political family portraits as The Great Place and in intimately affectionate portraits such as his Charles I and Henrietta Maria, was carefully trying to strengthen ties between England and Rome, and to prepare the ground for the arrival in London of the first Papal envoy since Henry VIII’s time.

As so often happened during Charles’s reign, the delicate diplomatic dance was executed, in part, by artistic means. In mid 1635, Charles and his queen commissioned Van Eyck, now firmly ensconced as Charles’ favourite painter, to prepare a portrait that they would send to Pope Urban VIII in Rome. Thus would then able the Pope to commission hisit almost spotless for the next visitors.

more than 400 mL of blood accumulates in the pleural cavity in association with SP \[[@bb0040]\]. Here, we present a case of a large volume SHP causing hemorrhagic shock in a patient with PCR confirmed COVID-19.

1.1. Case {#s0010}
---------

A 23-year-old male with no reported past medical history was brought via ambulance to the emergency department (ED) for acute onset of chest pain and shortness of breath 45 min prior to arrival. He denied any history of trauma, fever, or cough but did have a prior smoking history. Vital signs on arrival were notable for mild tachycardia to 110 beats per minute and tachypnea to 35 breaths per minute. He was afebrile and normotensive. Upon examination, he appeared in moderate distress with decreased breath sounds on the left. The remainder of hisleft side.Fig. 1Fig. 2CT angiogram showing active extravasation within the left apical pleural space and enlarged left hemopneumothorax with worsened rightward mediastinal shift.Fig. 2

2. Discussion {#s0015}
=============

Spontaneous hemopneumothorax is a rare clinical disorder, with an incidence ranging from 2.0%--7.3% \[[@bb0035]\]. Affected patients are mostly male, between the ages of 15--39 \[[@bb0035]\]. Mechanisms of bleeding in SHP include hemorrhage from a torn adhesion between parietal and visceral pleurae, rupture of vascularized bullae, and torn congenital aberrant vessels \[[@bb0035]\]. In this case, the patient\'s spontaneous apical bulla rupture likely damaged the 1st intercostal artery, resulting in the large SHP and subsequent hemorrhagic shock. For hemodynamically stable patients, conservative treatment with tube thoracostomy alone is adequate in most cases \[[@bb0050],[@bb0055]\] however for patients with persistent bleeding and hemodynamic instability, operative management with

According to the deal, Qatar will buy two 46-meter vessels, 10 33-meter ones and five 23-meter versions made from advanced composite materials. The contract is “the biggest one for the military ships category in the region,” said Kerim Kalafatoglu, Ares Shipyard managing director.

The Qatari fleet expansion is part of the greater National Security Shield project, Al Obaidli said.

The total area of Qatar’s sea waters is about 35,000 square kilometers, three times its land area. “We depend more on the sea than on land,” he said.

A new naval base will be operational in 2017, Al Obaidli said.

The new Qatar Emiri Naval Forces Base will be the center for Qatar's maritime securityAt the time of his death, Steve Larson had competed roughly eleven chapters of a textbook on Schenkerian analysis. The book brings together three key elements not found in a textbook of its kind: 1) an emphasis on expressive meaning and musical forces, 2) a recognition of the central role of pattern in musical experience, and 3) step-by-step instruction in creating and correcting analyses (which Larson called the “strict use” of analytic notation, developed first in Larson 1996). The initial chapters walk students through the basics of his method, beginning with different types of diminution and building up to analyses of entire phrases. Later chapters—thirty-three were planned in all—were to cover the various tonal forms, late nineteenth-century chromaticism, jazz, popular song, and even world music.

also has enough of its own meaning so that it can have an ironic relationship to lyrics. And some of that meaning comes from relationships between ornament and structure depicted in a Schenkerian analysis.

Musical forces

[10.1] Comparing music to speech gives us some insight to its meaning. We not only say that music is a language, but we also experience it as a language. We listen to music the way we listen to others speak or tell stories. Because we expect it to make the kind of sense that language can, we can be surprised when it sets up expectations but departs from them.

[10.2] Another source of musical meaning is the way we compare music to physical motion. We often speak of music as if it moved. When wesoprano or above a stemmed bass). When a note of embellishment displaces a more-structural tone to a different metric location, the next more-structural level depicts the displaced tone in the metric location at which it belongs. All and only those notes with stems on a given graphic level appear on the next more-structural level.

Exercises

[12.1] Here are three Schenkerian analyses. For each one: (a) label the function of every unstemmed note; (b) note any departures from the rules given in boxes above; (c) comment briefly on what the analysis tells you about structure, elaboration, or expressive meaning in these passages; (d) learn to play each level of each analysis (you may wish to write out in durational notation what you will play); (e) practice playing only the stemmed notes

[12.3] Here are portions of analyses that violate the rules of strict use of analytic notation. Indicate each violation, and say why each violation creates an unclear or inconsistent analysis.

4. You may wish to listen to recordings of the musical examples in this book. But please be sure to sing and play all the examples yourself, too. There are several reasons why this is important. The first reason is that Schenkerian analysis should always indicate the way you hear a piece of music. Another related reason is that the bookhe had

been residing in the home with the victim since he was released from custody. He

acknowledged he was aware it was a violation of the protective order, but stated, "Where

am I supposed to live. It's my house." He also claimed he was the main caretaker for the

victim and needed to be there to assist with her daily needs.

       At the probation revocation hearing, his attorney represented Carter was only out

of custody for six days when he told the probation officer he had gone to the house to get

his glasses. His counsel noted he had taken an anger management class while in custody

and asked he be given another opportunity for probation. His counsel also noted the

victim did not want the protective order.

Overview

The Cadillac CTS offers a range of vehicles to suit any lifestyle. The amazing CTS Coupe, Sport Wagon, and the respected, award winning Sedan all offer optional all-wheel-drive, an impressively finished interior and a large dose of style. For 2013 the manual transmission and the base trim have been dropped from the sedan.

Depending on model, the CTS is available in Base, Luxury, Performance, and Premium trims. The 2013 CTS comes standard with either 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels and 19-inch polished alloy wheels are optional. The standard engine is a four-cam, 3.0-liter V6 with direct injection and variable valve-timing generating 270 horsepower. A direct injected 3.6-liter V6, nowto anticipate study deviations (missing data, withdrawal, loss to follow-up).

Participants are recruited in the hospital when they come for a medical consultation or at the end of a hospitalisation for complications. Potential participants are screened. The investigator informs the patient and caregiver about the study, following which the patient gives oral consent and the patient's caregiver the written informed consent for patient participation. The information note and consent form is presented in Additional file [1](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}. When the patient legally becomes an adult (i.e. at 18 years of age in France), he will give his/her own written informed consent.

Randomisation and blinding {#Sec10}
--------------------------

Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups at a 1:1 ratio using a minimisation algorithm. The minimisation factors are the centre, the type of SCD, and


are calculated for continuous variables. Categorical variables will be presented using numbers and percentages.

The crude rate of hospitalisations due to complications will be calculated by dividing the total number of hospitalisations due to VOC, ACS, and stroke occurring after transfer by the total duration of follow-up of all patients in each group. The treatment effect will be assessed using a multivariable Poisson regression model with the study group as a factor, adjusting for minimisation factors and relevant patient characteristics and the length of follow-up as the offset. Results will be expressed as a rate ratio with 95% confidence interval. A negative binomial model will be fitted if data are over-dispersed. The same analyses will be performed for the association between intervention and other secondary outcomes.

Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA)In addition, needs are assessed at the beginning of the psychological and educative axes, in order to individualise the intervention. Another strength of the intervention is the participation of expert patients in the social axis; his/her experiential knowledge promotes sharing between the adolescents in the group and provides real-life examples of coping skills and advice \[[@CR22]\]. The major limitation of DREPADO trial is the difficulty to implement the transition programme, as the intervention is complex \[[@CR23]\]; it involves different departments of care, different places of intervention (home, hospital, 'neutral place'), and different types of expertise (or the training of personnel in several different fields). This complexity requires good communication and coordination between interlocutors; to aid in this regard, the DREPADO study group provides each centre tools for communication

Karachi on Sunday and 49 Celsius in Turbat, close to the Iranian border.Despite the increasing number of deaths being reported in the provincial capital, neither government officials nor any other organisation has made any arrangements for collecting and collating the data of the death toll.Meanwhile, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif issued directives to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to immediately take necessary measures to deal with the prevalent situation in Sindh, where the tenacious heat wave continues to claim lives. The NDMA chairman has asked the Karachi corps commander to assist the authority in this regard.On the other hand, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) of Sindh has requested the Pakistan Army and Pakistan Rangers to render all possible services and assistance to alleviate the suffering of thelow rates of productivity," says Dan Ben-David of the Shoresh Institution and Tel Aviv University's public policy department.

He estimates that it will take large investments in infrastructure and education to ease the problems. Current government policy is ineffective he says: "They cost the government a lot of money in all kinds of tax benefits and all kinds of subsidies when eventually they end up benefiting the investors anyway."

Association of rapamycin and co-stimulation blockade using anti-B7 antibodies in renal allotransplantation in baboons.
Co-stimulation blockade has already been shown to induce transplantation tolerance in rodents, but until now has failed in large animal models. We therefore sought to investigate whether the addition of rapamycin to a co-stimulation blockade regimen could induce tolerance in baboon recipients of a renal allograft and to characterize the immunological characteristics of rejection.

What's new in our understanding of the role of adipokines in rheumatic diseases?
Important advances in our understanding of the relationships between adipokines, inflammation and the immune response have been achieved in the past 10 years. White adipose tissue has emerged as a highly dynamic organ that releases a plethora of immune and inflammatory mediators that are involved in numerous diseases, including not only rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, but also cardiovascular and metabolic complications that are frequently observed in rheumatic diseases. Our rapidly growing knowledge of adipokine biology is revealing the complexity of these amazing proteins, thereby redefining white adipose tissue as a key element of the inflammatory and immune response in rheumatic diseases. Adipokines exert potent modulatory actions on target tissuesand cells involved in rheumatic disease, including cartilage, synovium, bone and various immune cells. In this Review, we describe the most recent advances in adipokine research in the context of rheumatic diseases, focusing primarily on leptin, adiponectin, visfatin and resistin, and also the potential role of newly identified adipokines such as chemerin, lipocalin 2 and serum amyloid A3.


Development of GABA, glycine, and their receptors in the auditory brainstem of gerbil: a light and electron microscopic study.
Inhibitory synaptic transmission is known to play an important role during the maturation of central auditory pathways. While there is a lot of information on the modulatory role of glycine (Gly) on the postsynaptic target nuclei in the developing auditory brain stem, such a role for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the lateral superior olive (LSO) of neonatal gerbil has been only recently reported (Kotak and Sanes [1997] Soc Neurosci Abst 23:1549; Kotak et al. [1998] J Neurosci 18:4646-4655). Here we present further immunohistochemical findings and the first ultrastructural evidence documenting a significant decrease in the postsynaptic localization of the beta2,3 subunit of the GABA(A) receptor from postnatal day (P)4 tologo-identity issues, the cheeseburger proved to be worlds better than the forgettable cheeseburger I had on my perilous trip to Mount Gower (See earlier post.) I don’t even remember where I got the other burger. But this one was great. Perhaps it’s because I didn’t have 4 hours of waterless wandering as I did on the previous hike. Or perhaps this burger was just plain better.

I drove past Wynola into the rolling grasslands just southeast of Julian, CA, and nearly drove off the road while enjoying the view. I then passed an overturned car in a field in the Inaja Reservation that showed me how perilous this trip could be if I wasn’t careful.

blue sky as a backdrop to the yellow beech leaves still remaining on the trees.

After struggling upward through the beeches (and a few especially nasty sons of beeches), she nailed the summit dead on. We knew this because on the trailless Catskill summits, the Catskill 3500 Club maintains canisters where hikers register a successful ascent. This then qualifies them, after completing all of the 3500-foot summits, for membership in the Club. We’re both already members, but the canister was still a welcome sight.

The summit is otherwise very nondescript, with no views whatsoever of the surrounding territory. We ate our lunches, and of course the requisite cheeseburger, signed the register, and then headed back down.

On the way down, I made a small mental error, following a bearing that causedin spots.

This summit is only about an hour from home, and we’ve hiked it every year since 2001 on this holiday weekend. While this year’s colors were pretty subdued, it’s always nice to be able to just park the car on the side of the road and set off through the woods completely on our own, and find our way to these unspoiled views. In the next few years, there are plans to build trails here, and we’re not looking forward to the day when this becomes a more popular destination.


policy with people living longer and capable of working longer too.

Jim, now research chair professor of geography and environmental science at Education University, told the Post he was grateful HKU treated him well throughout his career, but said academics were unhappy with the inconsistency in the way extensions past 60 were granted.

“Some academics with outstanding performance are renewed for only one year, while others who are less impressive are granted an extra two years or three,” he said. “That could be fairly arbitrary.”

Critics say Hong Kong is losing academic talent to countries such as Australia and the United States which have no compulsory retirement age, and the trend in other ageing societies is also towards allowing people to work longer.

The retirement age at the University of Science andTechnology, City University and Lingnan University is 65, while Chinese University decided recently that staff joining after 2016 could retire at 65 instead of 60.

All but one of the public universities turned down the Post’srequest for the number of academics who had retired over the past five years. CityU said “around 70” had left at the age of 65 or above.

Who gets an extension?

In 2016, HKU changed its policy and began giving those turning 60 a new contract and a non-tenured position, instead of simply extending their existing contracts. For some that meant switching to non-tenured positions as lecturers and taking a pay cut. Similar accounts emerged at other universities.

Depending on individual performance, HKU may offer a longer contract of five years, or the more common extensions of


of turning 60 at HKU in 2003.

“I inquired about the possibility of an extension,” he told the Post. “I quickly discovered, however, that the process was both complex and lengthy and, again, both insulting and humiliating.

“After serving HKU for over 33 years as the pioneering teacher of marine biology … and participating in discussions and decisions of numerous government committees, I concluded, as a matter of personal pride, that I did not wish to be a part of any such degrading extension of service process.”

He returned to Britain where he kept up his research and interest in marine conservation.

Corlett left HKU in 2008 and went first to the National University of Singapore before joining the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden under the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Yunnan, wherehe remains as director of the Centre for Integrative Conservation.

Those who remain are not necessarily good, but docile teachers. The good ones might not be allowed to stay

William Cheung, retired HKU professor

Looking back, he said he was not considering leaving HKU before its retirement age policy forced him to go. He said the “outdated and bad” policy made HKU “increasingly an outlier among international universities or in China”.

“I probably would have stayed, but I am now glad I didn’t,” said Corlett, who is 67 and has three more years on his Yunnan contract.

Cheung said he was the second ASA chairman in a row to fail to get an extension to work beyond 60, and that added to a perception university administrators used the retirement age policy to let


from time to time.

Elderly Commission chairman Dr Lam Ching-choi, who sits on the Executive Council which advises Hong Kong’s leader, agreed that the four universities with the earlier retirement age were lagging behind the practice elsewhere, but said it would be difficult for the government to weigh in because of the institutional autonomy the schools enjoyed.

He said the commission had been urging different organisations and companies to extend their retirement age to 65 or at least improve their practices in rehiring staff. Lam also said it was already relatively easier for educational institutions to implement such practices.

“As life expectancy increases, we should offer people a choice on whether to continue working, as a job – which gives one purpose in life – is actually the pillar for activeThe present invention relates to an information processing system, and more particularly, to an information processing system having a memory controller which can control a memory unit in accordance with the performance of memory elements mounted therein.
Generally, an information processing system employs a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) element, an SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) element and so on as memory elements which constitute a storage device of the system. In recent years, SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) and SSRAM (Synchronous SRAM), which operate in synchronism with a clock signal, are also used in wide applications. Memory elements have been improved in access speed and memory capacity in the last several years, and their prices also vary along with the improvements. A system such as an information processing system must


be designed such that it can support future elements in order to maintain a long product lifetime. For this reason, an information processing system comprising a storage device generally has a register for determining an operation timing in a memory controller in order to support a plurality of kinds of elements. An operation timing value is set in the register in accordance with the type and operating speed of a particular element, causing the memory controller to output a control signal in accordance with the set value. In addition, the memory controller provides an extra address signal for possible expansion of the memory capacity.
In recent years, information processing systems tend to be required to have an increasingly larger memory capacity, so that it is necessary to not onlyso as to indicate, or reasonably be understood to indicate, that the premises are an establishment, or an agency, of a particular description shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale unless registration has been effected under this Part in respect of the premises as an establishment or agency of that description.

“The Centre will establish a globally connected innovation hub that rapidly accelerates advances in materials engineering, additive manufacturing and data science,” the University told staff in a newsletter.

“Woodside engineers and Monash researchers together will develop and test prototypes in the laboratory, aiming to lead to new applications for the energy and other industries,” the statement said.

The funding has sent mixed messages, according to students involved in the on-campus fossil fuel divestment movement, because the University had appeared to be severing its ties with the fossil fuel industry.

Although the mandatory mesenterico-portal resection in patients with cancer of the pancreas is thought to have no anticancer effect, this wide exeresis does not increase operative mortality significantly. We performed this operation for a large benign tumour englobing the portal vein. The tumour was completely removed with no major per-operative problem with haemostasis. Venous circulation was reestablished by direct suture without prosthesis. The post-operative period was uneventful and the patient was asymptomatic three years later.

More than 100 members of Congress have co-sponsored a bill resolving banking issues caused by conflicting federal and state marijuana laws.

Offered by Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter, Colorado Democrat, the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act has amassed the support of 108 co-sponsors, including nine Republicans, since being filed Thursday on Capitol Hill.

Most states have legalized marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes, but financial institutions are often reluctant to work with state-licensed pot businesses given the plant’s placement on the federal government’s list of controlled substances.

“The SAFE Banking Act is focused solely on taking cash off the streets and making our communities safer,” Mr. Perlmutter said in a statement. “Only Congress can provide the certainty financial institutions need to start banking legitimate marijuana businesses — just like anythe champions group and plenary model. This will go into Unicode, so it’s going to be a while before this has substantial effects on 402. Don’t expect anything immediately, but Q3-Q4 is a more realistic timeline.

## Discussion Topics

### Temporal

SFC: PFC has been working a lot on Temporal lately, there were few issues that need to be discussed with this group. Would you like to pitch temporal to the group?

PFC: *pitches temporal*

SFC: I’ll filter out the calendar specific issues and find one that should interest this body of individuals. How Temporal interacts with Intl is an important discussion to be had.

SFC: *opens tc39/proposal-polyfill#262 and explains it*

https://github.com/tc39/proposal-temporal/issues/262

SFC: which calendar should take precedence, is the question?

DE: we had much the same dilemma with TimeZones when we had a compound ZonedDateTime type


was correct for them to do. It wasn't clear that it was a best practice, but in 402 we are more in favour of best practices, so I don't think it needs to be included in 402 even if it's in ICU.

FYT: which one did you propose that we shouldn’t include?

SFC: thousands. It is so bad that I didn’t even want to propose that.

FYT: I see, that’s bad, I agree.

SFC: what do people think about what I proposed here? *describes proposal on the issue*. True could map to 'always' or 'auto', but there have been bug reports coming in from people who find the behaviour of true mapping to 'auto' surprising.

FYT: I’m lost about true and false here.

SFC: I am propose that we use the useGrouping option andthat we expand that to take strings as well

FYT: and the default should be auto. True should map to always and False should map to never. What is the default right now.

SFC: currently the default is true, and V8 defaults to auto because ICU makes it the default as well. I propose we specify this a bit better on the 402 side of things, and this could be a normative change. It's an observable change, so maybe we should be concerned about it.

FYT: I am concerned about it. If the user doesn't want 'auto', then they can specify 'always'.

SFC: OK, we can move true to mean 'auto', and the default is still true.

FYT: talking of resolved options, once we implement this proposal, it will never output true or


and pieces in misguided situations. For example, if you want to get a pixel-perfect format, they would try to implement it themselves.
Not understanding that they're not doing internationalization anymore in that case because their UX design was thinking in en_US.

SFC: I've changed my mind about this. We can still move the proposal forward without this, and put it on pause. We can revisit it in the future.

DE: That makes me really disappointed. I see how there are real issues, but I hope we can come up with a good solution within a few months.

### Plural rules (ecma402#397)

SFC: (Presenting 4 options in issue)... Any opinions on this?

DE: seems like there are several decent options, it seems to be the opposite of the last issue.

FYT: Is it true that it'sThis file was in fact another piece of PowerShell code modified from ‘PowerSploit'. That file opens a decoy document and executes an approximately 60kb chunk of position independent shellcode. The shellcode upon further decoding and analysis is nearly identical to what Cylance calls ‘The Ham Backdoor’ below. This particular variant of the backdoor references itself internally as version ‘1.6.4’ and beaconed to ‘gavin (dot) ccfchrist (dot) com.’

The move to a shellcode-based backdoor was presumably done to decrease overall AV detection and enable deployment via a wider array of methods. A public report released here documented a similar case in which several universities were targeted by an email purporting to be from The Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science ‘jsps (dot) go (dot) jp’ regarding the need to

act of giving an invocation before every race because they don't like religion shoved down their throats, but the pre-race prayer is a longtime tradition that NASCAR doesn't seem to have any interest in abandoning. In Texas, it happened to give Robertson the chance to promote his conservative views, which ultimately are a reflection on NASCAR.

Three years ago, the Texas speedway allowed the National Rifle Association to be the title sponsor of its spring race just months after NASCAR participated in a deal that put a car in the Daytona 500 that specifically honored the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting.

It was an embarrassing mixed message and NASCAR swiftly issued guidelines requiring approval for race naming rights. The policy gives NASCAR the option to reject a sponsorwarned against the influence that might be exercised over Hollande by certain socialist leaders “who have negative views towards Israel’s policies.” Prasquier neither named names among the socialists — the sort of innuendo to which a Jewish organization should be especially sensitive — nor identified the particular policies they criticized. This, too, is not just specious, but also tendentious: The only Israeli policy criticized by the Socialist Party — namely, the settlement policy in the occupied territories — is one shared by the vast majority of Western political parties.

As for the far left, Prasquier dropped his gloves. He noted that the Green Party expresses “a deep hostility towards Israel and are at the forefront of every anti-Israel demonstration, declaration and petition.” While parading as an “observation,” Prasquier’s claim

Perhaps I should have done a little more research before choosing my moniker.

Whatever. Here's the rhyme referred to in the title of the article below:

In the spring, large numbers of Magpies often gather to resolve territorial conflicts and social standing. These gatherings, called parliaments, probably gave rise to the many nursery rhymes and poems about


"I like your earrings." Her last words to me as mother to daughter, the person she knew to be her daughter and not merely someone she knew she knew, had been stated a few months earlier: "I don't like your hair."

But before she became immobilised by incontinence and other terrible afflictions, the one activity in which my mother was still capable of participating, heart and soul, with a fully functioning mind, was shopping for clothes. She would wander along the street crying and moaning, with me gripping her arm for fear she would fall into the traffic. Her own fate was terrible to her, and she knew it. Then we would get to the small clothing section of the Upper Street [Islington] branch of Marks & Spencer andgot to match the navy". She cried and stamped her foot when the blouse was too big in the collar, revealing her ruined neck. I understood for the first time that she always wore a little scarf not because her old bones were cold, but because she understood the feminine arts of concealment, how to cover and flatter. She had no intention of being mutton dressed as lamb.

The outfit, which I paid for, cost a bomb. In the taxi back to the home where my sister and I had incarcerated her against her will when she was considered no longer able to function alone, she held her shopping bags with a radiant face, looked at me, eyes milky with innocence and bewilderment. "How are we related?" she asked.

My


listening to friends' recommendations, but above all, she spent a great deal of time actually in the shops, looking at things and learning how to discern the good, the bad and the very best. Friends queued up to go shopping with her, for they knew she would take them to the right places and make them try on the things that she knew would suit them.

Poor her, running headlong into the 1960s and a daughter who deliberately frayed the hems of her jeans and wore a handbag made out of a bit of old carpet, instead of Young Jaeger. But, of course, all daughters eventually turn into their mothers, and she had encoded herself inside me already.

Most hostile responses to shopping see it as an act of acquisition,hold a navy coat up against my chest to see if the shade of blue drains me, or brings some warmth to the skin. To try on a Donna Karan jersey dress I have no intention of buying because I want to understand why people rave about the cut of her clothes and how she does draping.

To shop with no intention of buying anything is to immerse yourself, for a few hours, in fashion. We civilians don't go to the shows, we have no access to the ateliers. We will never own a Hermès Birkin, but we can look, feel, experience. This is an actual Balenciaga dress. You come close to the source, the origin of what fashion is, the mutable mysteries of time and pleasure, the whole

Some of these shoes were beautiful in themselves, and giving them away was hard. But it was also a relief, because although fashion magazines don't admit it, high heels always slow you down and hurt your feet. Whenever you are in a restaurant you can see that under the partial cover of the tablecloths at least half the women have taken off their painful spike-heeled pumps and sandals, just as my friends and I used to do. Fashion pretends to be a feminist, but still makes it almost impossible for anyone under her spell to negotiate a subway grating or a rough gravel path, or...The Night-mare LIFE-IN-DEATH was she,Who thicks man's blood with cold.

My friends made similar changes, all individual and all in defiance of fashion. One gave away all her skirts and went into trousers and jeans; another disobeyed the rule that dresses are now for formal occasions only and began sewing herself loose-cut casual smocks and muumuus in an unfashionable mid-calf length: she is a serious gardener, and points out that it is much easier to wash your knees than to wash a pair of slacks. Another friend decided that she would simplify her basic wardrobe to basic black, with accents of purple or green or scarlet.

All of us realised with joy that we could now wear the clothes we liked best. There was only one rule: we had to


its advertising platform. But the worst identified defenders make their money outside Facebook anyway.

Another narrow response from Facebook could be to assert editorial control over external forces. Facebook tried this, to a very limited extent, with Trending Topics. Members of the company’s editorial staff wrote descriptions of trending news stories, accompanied by links they deemed credible. This initiative collapsed in a frenzy of bias accusations and political fear. But it is easy to imagine a system in which a story, upon reaching some high threshold of shares, or a source, upon reaching some cumulative audience, could be audited and declared unreliable. This could resemble Facebook’s short-lived experiment to tag satire articles as such.

A number of narrow measures could stop a fake story about the pope, for example. But  Thus, the general rule of McDonnell Douglas and Burdine is subject to modification where the facts of a particular case make an allegation of a specific application a quixotic requirement.  Brown asserts that the general rule does not hold here for two reasons:  1) the jobs to which Brown sought promotion (i.e. those not requiring a college degree) were infrequently posted;  and 2) the aura of discrimination at Coach so discouraged Brown that she ceased making application to specific positions after 1995.  We are not persuaded that either allegation exempts Brown from the general pleading requirements.

As to the posting practices of Coach, Brown's complaint impliedly concedes that some positions not requiring a college degree were posted, albeit infrequently.  There is no


statistics with any other policy.  As a result, her complaint fails to adequately allege a disparate impact claim.

D. Hostile Work Environment Claim

On appeal, Brown also argues that she was subjected to a hostile work environment at Coach.  This claim was apparently not considered by the district court as it is not plainly articulated in Brown's complaint.  The complaint does contend that one Coach supervisor made, on occasion, racist remarks and one such comment was directed at Brown.  Again, we find the allegations in the complaint lacking.  Although the alleged comments are despicable and offensive, they fail to constitute discriminatory behavior that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to cause a hostile environment.  See Harris v. Forklift Sys. Inc., 510 U.S. 17, 21-23, 114particular unposted positions after they were filled, it has created a needless barrier for Title VII plaintiffs, but, in any event, one that Brown should now be afforded an opportunity to meet by a further chance to amend.  Before this decision, it was not the law that employees denied promotion to unposted positions had to identify those positions after they were filled.  If this is now the law, Brown should be afforded an opportunity to amend in order to identify, for example, the positions of secretary to named personnel that were filled by non-minorities.

Apparently finding no decision upholding, at the pleading stage, the dismissal of a Title VII complaint for lack of an allegation that the plaintiff applied for promotion to an unposted position, the Court
