In May 2019 Feeney signed a two year contract extension.

OFC Pirin Blagoevgrad
Feeney joined Bulgarian second division side OFC Pirin Blagoevgrad as manager in November 2019 after a recommendation by an English former team mate who was assisting the side in their recruitment process. The side has recently been acquired by Dubai-based owners who are planning investment in the Bulgarian side. Feeney is joined at the side by fellow Irish footballer Conor Henderson who has been with the club since August 2017.

To investigate the role of visfatin in the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and its correlation with insulin resistance. The study recruited 58 pregnant women of 24 to 28 gestational weeks in People's Hospital of Hebei Province from January to June 2013. Among them, 30 were patients with GDM (GDM group), 28 had normal oral glucose tolerance test and was referred as healthy pregnancy group (NGT group). Fourteen age-matched female who were first-degree relatives (FDR1) of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, and 27 healthy nonpregnant women with normal oral glucose tolerance test were referred as high-risk group and normal controls (NC), respectively.

## Why does the client response callback run in the invocation context?
This rationale applies equally to CLIENT and PRODUCER spans.

Asynchronous code is often modeled in terms of callbacks. For example, the
following pseudo code represents a chain of 3 client calls.
```java
// Assume you are reactive: assembling a call doesn't invoke it.
call = client.call("1")
             .flatMap((r) -> client.call("2"))
             .flatMap((r) -> client.call("3"));

ScopedSpan parent = tracer.startScopedSpan("parent");
try {
  // In reactive style, subscribe attaches the trace context
  call.subscribe(subscriber);
} finally {
  parent.finish();
}
```

One method currently employed for the control of insect populations is termed the “sterile insect technique” (SIT). SIT has been applied worldwide to eradicate specific populations of agricultural pests or disease vectors, including the mosquito. For the last 30 years, SIT has relied on classical genetic manipulation to generate genetic sexing strains for mass production of exclusively male insects. These males, generally sterilized by irradiation, are released into the wild in large numbers to produce ineffectual matings with wild females. As a result, there are no progeny from these wild female insects and the insect population is dramatically reduced. Irradiation of male insects, however, puts


agencies is still admirable, their more recent tactics in revitalizing neighborhoods have veered off track. Building expensive sports complexes creates more jobs—good—but it changes a community; it doesn’t preserve it. Instead of a stable local economy with jobs that match the cost of living, such luxurious projects create upscale neighborhoods with low-income job opportunities. A popcorn vendor can’t live and work in the same city.

Thus, jobs are created, but the city’s original occupants and current employees are forced to find housing elsewhere. Recently, the state’s urban redevelopment agencies accomplished nothing different than private organizations do. Their function had deteriorated and they became superfluous.

Instead of trusting in long-term employment based on a fortuitous wave of business from a state government briefly flush with cash, agents who worked on thesewritten; this may be the beginnings of the modern law of copyright.

Islamic bookshops
Abbasid Caliphate in the east and Caliphate of Córdoba in the west, encouraged the development of bookshops, copyists, and book dealers across the entire Muslim world, in Islāmic cities such as Damascus, Baghdad, and Córdoba. According to Encyclopædia Britannica:

There is a popular turn of phrase from the 1960s, "Books are written in Cairo, published in Beirut, and read in Baghdad". One of the most famous and prestigious Arab publishers is Dar al-Asab.

French booksellers
The first wave of French booksellers came soon after Johannes Gutenberg introduced his new printing technologies in Europe. The oldest known bookstore still opened in France (and Europe) is the Librairie Nouvelle d'Orléans. Its owner in 1545 was Étienne Rouzeau, it now belongs to


publisher Albin Michel. In 1810 Napoleon created a system by which, a would-be bookseller had to apply for a license (brevet), and supply four references testifying to his morality, and four confirmations of his professional ability to perform the job. All references had to be certified by the local mayor. If the application was accepted, the bookseller would have to swear an oath of loyalty to the régime. The application process was conducted to ensure that the new bookstore was not a place that distributed rebellious publications. The brevet process continued until 1870.

Christianity
The spread of Christianity naturally created a great demand for copies of the Gospels, other sacred books, and later on for missals and other devotional volumes for both church and private use. Before the Reformation andkamleikas (this word has been borrowed into Yup'ik as kamliikaq from Russian ) and that word has been used as a general word for any gut parka.

Fish skin parka (qasperrluk in Yup'ik; derived from qaspeq "parka cover kuspuk" and the postbase -rrluk "N that has departed from its natural state (often, though not always, with an undesirable connotation)", amirag in Cup'ig) is a kind of fish-skin clothing (amiragglugaq) also that could serve as a tent. Fish skin parkas in the past were worn by both men and women when hunting and traveling. In winter they were worn over a fur parka just as cloth covers have been in more recent times. A Yukon fish skin parka made of dog salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) skin. Nunivaarmiut men wore parkas made

 Children's clothing
Children's clothing (mikelnguut aturait) was made of soft skin of younger animals. Reindeer fawn and dog puppy skin parkas, with the fur inside, were made for babies (irniaq) and small children (mikelnguq). Puppies one and two months old were killed for the purpose. Fawn and puppy skins were turned inside out, scraped, hung out to dry, and then put away. When needed the skins were taken from storage, rubbed between the hands with a rotary motion, and chewed as necessary to soften and loosen tissue that had not previously been removed. For a sealskin parka, one skin was required for a three-year-old, two for a five- or six-year-old, and three for a child of 10near the St. Lawrence Island Siberian Yupik communities of Gambell and Savoonga.
Walrus or Pacific walrus Odobenus rosmarus divergens (asveq sg asverek ~ asevrek dual asveret ~ asevret pl in Yup'ik kaugpak in Cup'ik, kaugpag in Cup'ig). Hunting of walrus and other marine mammals in western Bristol Bay, including Round Island (Yup'ik Qayaciq literally "place to go in a kayak") as part of the Walrus Islands State Game Sanctuary, by the native people (Yup’ik-speaking Tuyuryarmiut) of the Togiak area over the last 2,500 years is documented by archaeological and ethnohistorical evidence. Until the late 1930s and early 1940s, well-organized groups of hunters from Togiak traveled in kayaks to Round Island (the most reliable hunting location) and other islands armed with spears and harpoons to harvest walrus. Most parts of

Muskox Ovibos moschatus (umingmar, maskar in Nunivak Cup'ig). Alaska's original muskox were hunted to extinction in the mid-1800s - perhaps by whalers and others. They had originally ranged Alaska's arctic and western coastal tundra.

The fancy parka or atkupiaq  is made of ground squirrel pelts, preferred among the Yup'ik for winter clothing because of its warmth and lightness. Parkas made from ground squirrel skins were especially light and warm. Normally the skins of 45 squirrels were necessary to make a man's parka and 35 for a woman's.

Booth had always believed that Lincoln's election was confirmation that war would be waged against Southern rights and institutions. No longer could the impassioned young actor give allegiance to a Union that spurned justice. Railing at his enemies, he continued: "People of the North, to hate tyranny, to love liberty and justice, to strike at wrong and oppression, was the teaching of our fathers. The study of our early historyearly. Sometime between 5 and 6 AM Weichmann read the Daily Morning Chronicle's account of the twin murderous attacks, which left him relieved and even happy that the description of Seward's assailant did not match John Surratt's likeness. "Thank God! Thank God that is not John Surratt!" he exclaimed to himself.

Before breakfast he walked down to Howard's livery stable, where he, Booth, Surratt, and Atzerodt were well known to the manager, Brooke Stabler, from frequent previous visits. His hand trembled as he greeted Stabler, and when the stable manager remarked on it, Weichmann talked of the assassination. He thought the newspaper description of Seward's attacker fit Atzerodt, better known to Stabler as Azworth, the round-shouldered out-of-towner with slicked, greasy hair set behind his ears. The stable manager remembered

"Who are you? What do you want?"

"I come from Cox. He told me I would find you here. I am a friend. You have nothing to fear from me."

Herold scanned the middle-aged intruder with high cheekbones and strong thick hair. "Follow me."

They brushed aside dense thickets for thirty yards before Jones saw Booth lying on the ground, his head resting on his hand and a pistol and knife within easy reach. His crutch was beside him. He did not look like he had shaved for several days, but Jones noted Booth's mustache, in significantcity's main thoroughfare, Pennsylvania Avenue. Troops were on the alert to maintain "perfect order" and to stay put long after the executions. No one could predict how the general public might react, nor whether bands of partisans might rally as mobs, either supportive of the Federal government or allied with its bitterest opponents. The four awaiting execution had now become prominent symbols. Loyalists prepared for the ultimate retribution as the outcome of a just and legal process. Fanatics among unbowed rebels excused the condemned as victims of a simmering cause.

Hancock had received more than one thousand applications for passes but limited entry to several hundred, with a quarter reserved for the press. He banned anyone overtly sympathetic to the South or drawn out of mere curiosity. Many who could not get in through the gate boarded boats passing by to Alexandria. But none of their maneuvers outwitted authorities, because the gallows were obscured by walls. The celebrated photographer Alexander Gardner positioned himself at a penitentiary window, preparing his lenses to record the prisoners' arrival, recitation of their death warrants, adjustment of the nooses, and suspension of the inert corpses. Voyeurs jostled at available windows while more spectators squeezed tightly for vantage points atop the only other building overlookingthat about nine o'clock on the morning of the assassination the only other barber in the shop was out to breakfast and he was working alone under intense pressure to cater to "droves" of strangers coming in, especially soldiers from the adjacent paymaster's office. He told the court he trimmed Booth's hair immediately before John Surratt sat down and said, "Give me a nice shave, and clean me up nicely. I am going away in a day or two." He said Surratt looked "a little dusty, as though he had been traveling some little distance." The barber had not seen Surratt again until a week before his own testimony, when he said he recognized him as he came out of the court with the jailer.

“Anderson County depends greatly on reliable power at the Civic Center; especially, while it’s operating as an emergency shelter,” said Tommy Dunn, Anderson County Council chairman. “Power is critical at the Civic Center when our facility is being utilized as a command post for service providers and shelter to citizens who have been displaced.

a new instance of the specified object type.
Because the new instance of the object is initialized to zero and no constructors are run, the object might not represent a state that is regarded as valid by that object. The current method should only be used for deserialization when the user intends to immediately populate all fields. It does not create an uninitialized string, since creating an empty instance of an immutable type serves no purpose.

So your setup could look like this:
var e = (RedisException)FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject(typeof(RedisException));

Mock<IDatabase> _mockCache = new Mock<IDatabase>();
_mockCache.Setup(cache => cache.StringGetAsync("a", CommandFlags.None)).Throws(e);

It's a little hackish; since no constructors are run, you should not rely on a valid state of the RedisException instance.


by carrying out a process step, e.g., an etch, with a faulty pattern. Second, the measurements may allow errors in the lithographic apparatus, e.g., illumination settings or exposure dose, to be detected and corrected for in subsequent exposures.
However, many errors in the lithographic apparatus cannot easily be detected or quantified from the patterns printed in resist. Detection of a fault does not always lead directly to its cause. Thus, a variety of off-line procedures (i.e., procedures carried out in addition to normal processing of the substrate) for detecting and measuring errors in the lithographic apparatus are known. These may involve replacing the substrate with a measuring device or carrying out exposures of special test patterns, e.g., at a variety of different machine settings. Such off-line techniques take time,often a considerable amount, reducing production time and during which the end products of the apparatus will be of an unknown quality until the measurement results are made available. In-line measurement and inspection procedures (i.e., procedures carried out during the normal processing of the substrate) are known.
Optical metrology techniques may be used to perform the measurements and inspection. For example, scatterometry is an optical metrology technique that can be used for measurements of critical dimension (CD) and overlay. There are two main scatterometry techniques:
(1) Spectroscopic scatterometry measures the properties of scattered radiation at a fixed angle as a function of wavelength, usually using a broadband light source, such as a xenon, deuterium, or halogen based light source such as a xenon arc lamp. The fixed angle can be

During her first years in London, Owen found herself battling the garden variety despair that tends to befall those who find themselves far from their family. She wrestled the uneasy feeling that she was more of a tourist than an immigrant in London—so she began to reconstitute her sense of what food meant to her in Indonesia. Owen was keen to cook for herself, seeking the company of her grandmother’s recipes: telur dadar padang, the breakfast omelette with grated coconut that could look as fluffy as a cake, or pangek ikan,without her materials. So Owen and her husband had to go to various cities in Holland—Amsterdam, Den Haag, Rotterdam—to buy Indonesian ingredients. This was often time-consuming, so she gained a knack for substitutions: bitter gourds instead of papaya flowers, black cabbage in place of cassava leaves.

Introduction
============

Research and policymaking often require demographic data, such as population enumerations and age and sex structures. While these data have been historically derived from national censuses ^[@ref-1]^, the past 40 years have witnessed an increasing interest in the use of household surveys for demographic estimations ^[@ref-2]^. Starting from 2000, for instance, the US Census adopted the dual system estimation that complements the national census with a richer set of demographic and socio-economic characteristics captured using household surveys ^[@ref-3]^. This kind of survey provides a cost-effective way to access an extensive range of attributes that can be ultimately generalized to a larger population of interest ^[@ref-4]^. Generalization is especially valuable in low- and middle-income countries with outdated, inaccurate or incomplete censuses, where a sample of representative households can be^[@ref-5]^. The use of bi-dimensional gridded sampling frames enables finer contextual stratification by incorporating information on geographic phenomena influencing the distribution of the population of interest ^[@ref-16]^. This can be achieved by accessing ancillary gridded datasets related to socio-economic (e.g., distance to major roads and urban centres) or physical characteristics (e.g., terrain and climate) that are embedded in top-down population models ^[@ref-38]^.

For each ancillary dataset, the cell values intersecting the settled cells define a high-dimensional space describing geographical context. This approach enables to define contextual strata by combining two popular methods for dimensionality reduction ^[@ref-39]^ --- principal component analysis (PCA) ^[@ref-40]^ and *k*-means classification ^[@ref-41]^. PCA is meant to reduce the number of correlated random variables into a set of linearly uncorrelated principal components ^[@ref-42]^. The number of

Conversely, the stratum characterized by low urban status shows a very low median population count per cell of 0.15, with a maximum value of 13.97. The stratum with medium urban status also has a low median population count per cell of 1.39, but outliers are relatively important, with a maximum value of 146.74.

Sampling evaluation
-------------------

We sampledalso demonstrated systematic oversampling of settled cells with higher population counts when sampling proportional to population size. This involves that larger sample sizes are required within heterogeneous strata.

The proposed grid-sampling design inspired the selection of household survey locations in the Kongo-Central and Kinshasa provinces in 2018 as part of the [Geo-Referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development](https://www.grid3.org/) (GRID3) project. In this project, household survey data collected across small and well-defined geographic areas were used as input data for bottom-up population models to predict basic demographic characteristics across the study area. The survey work conducted as part of this project enabled us to identify critical next steps in the household survey implementation. First, carrying out household surveys within grid cells can be challenging if clear guidelines are not defined

But if I am frank, the thing I like about it best is it looks nice hanging on the utility room door.

Just in case there was any question over it's handmade status

I love it. I just do. I'm not sorry. I'm happy to gloat over it. I show everyone who comes to my house my cLeVeR peg bag. Yeah, scratch my BIG head. Or rather, scratch Princess' head for the idea and Jane's talented head for the pattern. That Jane is a clever devil.

[Determination of saponins in Dipsaci Radix by HILIC-HPLC].
To develop an HILIC-HPLC method for simultaneous analysis of three main active triterpenoid saponins including dipsacus asponin VI, dipsacus asponin X and dipsacus asponin XII. To evaluate the medical material from various habitats in China, different commercial grades or parts of plant. The HPLC was conducted on Venusil HILIC column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) with acetonitrile and water as the mobile phase at 25 degrees C, which was in gradient elution. The flow rate was 1 mL x min(-1); and the detection wavelength was 203 nm. The contents of dipsacus asponin VI, X and XII were 0.77%-14.31%, 0.39%-3.19% and 0.41%-1.49% respectively in different provinces of China, that were related to locations. The contents of saponins from Yunnan andSichuan provinces were higer than those of Hubei and Guizhou. Thick roots, which were high-class products, contained less saponins than thin ones. In addition, the contents of stem, residual parts of stem and fibrous roots were fewer than main roots. This method is simple, sensitive and accurate. It could be used to determine the contents of dipsacus asponin VI, X, XII and evaluate the quality of dipsacus asperoides.


72 districts. Data collected prior to 2000 referred to a different set of districts totaling 57. For districts that split during the transition from 57 to 72 districts we adjusted estimates from the original district by assuming that the average proportional relationships observed between original and inheriting districts in 2000--2010 applied to the time period 1990--2000 as well. Unlike the earlier Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and all three censuses, the 2001--2002 and the 2007 DHS datasets did not contain district identifiers. For the 2007 DHS, the latitude and longitude of each cluster were available and we used these coordinates to identify which district each cluster belonged to. There was no information available in the 2001--2002 survey that allowed us to identify districts, so we used this surveybelow.

Indicators {#Sec7}
----------

A three-step statistical model was used to generate a complete set of indicator estimates, including uncertainty. The first step of the model was an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression of each indicator. Coverage was modeled in logit space to bound the result between 0 and 1. The following model was run separately for each coverage indicator:$$\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Individual interventions {#Sec10}
------------------------

We found a wide variation in both the levels of coverage and average change between 1990 and 2010 across the 12 indicators shown in Figure [1](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}. For malaria control interventions, the scale-up was remarkable across Zambia (Figure [2](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}A). At the same time, in 2010 ITN ownership ranged from 44% (95% UI: 42--47%) to 90% (95% UI: 85--93%), while use of ITNs by children under the age of 5 years exhibited an even larger range (from 32% \[95% UI: 25--40%\] to 89% \[95% UI: 81--94%\]). IPTp2 levels rose rapidly in many districts, but leveled off or experienced declines in coverage in some districts after 2007, and as a result coverage levels ranged from 5% (95% UI: 2--11%) to 96% (95% UI: 92--98%) in 2010.Figure 1**Distribution of interventionthe largest declines over the next two decades, while districts with lower baseline coverage achieved the greatest gains. The correlation coefficients between coverage level in 1990 and change between 1990 and 2010 were −0.73 for ANC4, −0.37 for SBA, and −0.76 for polio immunization. Geographic patterns in indicator trends are also notable: districts in Copperbelt province (show in dark blue) had relatively high baseline levels and large declines, while districts in Northern province (dark red) largely had lower baseline levels in 1990 but experienced gains.Figure 3**Absolute change in coverage between 1990 and 2010 compared with estimated coverage in 1990 for (A) antenatal care, 4 visits, (B) skilled birth attendance, and (C) polio immunization, by district.** Each dot represents a district.

approximately 2,979 Cubans made the voyage to Florida, most assisted by private boats from the U.S.

During this time, the Coast Guard rescued persons in danger and prevented unauthorized vessels from making the hazardous journey. Because of the dangerous nature of the migration, the U.S. government negotiated and organized a series of freedom flights of chartered commercial aircraft with the Cuban government to transport those who wished to leave Cuba safely and efficiently. The flights lasted until 1971 and transported 260,561 men, women and children to the U.S. These operations reduced the risk for both the migrants and those charged with enforcing immigration laws.

The Mariel Boatlift, the U.S.’s first major mass migration by sea, began April 22, 1980, when the Cuban government opened the port of Mariel and permittedIdeas for great compliance training

What comes to mind when you think of compliance training? Unfortunately, it does not have the best reputation; many view it as boring and monotonous. Despite that, employee compliance training is essential for organisations because adhering to specific laws and regulations protects both employees and the business.

Although it is viewed as a chore to many employees, compliance training can be made into a more enjoyable learning experience. Traditional compliance training might take place in a classroom environment where employees are made to sit through long-winded PowerPoint presentations on complicated topics, but taking training online can change this.

Lengthy compliance modules can be transformed into bite-sized through e-learning. This helps employees remain focused; longer modules usually have lower completion rates. Taking training to mobile also gives


the cooled EGR system for diesel engines of high EGR rate, a cooling apparatus for cooling the EGR gas at a high temperature with cooling water, cooling air, refrigerants, or other cooling mediums is provided to reduce nitrogen oxide gas (NOx). in the exhaust gas, to prevent the mileage from becoming inferior, and to prevent functions and durability of the EGR valve from deteriorated due to excessively increased temperature.
As shown in FIG. 3, there is an EGR gas cooling apparatus that performs thermal exchange between the EGR gas and the cooling medium via heat conduction pipes by disposing a plurality of the heat conduction pipes having smaller diameters through the interior of which the EGR gas can communicate and by communicating flowing the cooling mediums such as coolingsample period of 100 milliseconds is a common standard because it is a multiple of the line power cycle periods for both 50 Hertz and 60 Hertz power. However, if the power frequency varies, noise is induced at a low xe2x80x9cbeatxe2x80x9d frequency. For example, if the sample period is 100 milliseconds (equal to 6 cycles of line power at 60 Hertz) and the actual line power is at 60.1 Hertz, a low frequency noise is induced into the analyzer at 0.1 Hertz. It is not practical to filter out low frequencies such as 0.1 Hertz. Consequently, where the analyzer operates on the line power, it has been common to monitor the line power frequency and synchronize the sample period to a multiple of the line power period.

and nitrous oxide (N2O) has increased by a constant rate of only ˜0.25% per year. (See, IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios, Chapter 3, (2000), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.) What is more, over the 2000-2010 interval China is expected to increase its CO2 emissions by 600 Mt, largely because of the rapid construction of old-fashioned power plants in poorer internal provinces. (See, Auffhammer, M., et al., Journal of Environmental Economics and Management 55 (3): 229-247 (2008), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.)
From a climate change perspective, the increase in CO2 concentration is of particular concern because its radiative impact is many factors higher than the next significant greenhouse gas. For example, CO2 has a radiative force of 1.46 W/m2, whilereducing the excess to background concentrations. The average time taken to achieve this is the mean lifetime. CO2 has a variable atmospheric lifetime, and cannot be specified precisely. (See, Solomon, S, et al. eds., IPCC, 2007: Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis. Contribution of Working Group I to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Cambridge, United Kingdom and New York, N.Y., USA: Cambridge Press, ISBN 978-0521-88009-1, (2007), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.) It has often incorrectly been stated that CO2 has an atmospheric lifetime of only a few years because that is the average time for any CO2 molecule to stay in the atmosphere before being removed by mixing into the ocean, or by photosynthesis or other processes.


the agency to adopt the standards. Among other things, the suit contends that about 15 percent of US industrial emissions of carbon dioxide come from crude refineries, which burn some oil as they make products like gasoline and jet fuel. Likewise, Australia has many industries that are emissions-intensive and trade-exposed, so-called EITE industries. Emissions-intensive means the costs of their carbon emissions under an emissions trading scheme will have a material impact on their cost structure and profitability. Among the industries targeted by the Australian government by this program is oil refining, which the industry argues may create a price for carbon that makes oil refining in the country uncompetitive in a global market.

present at her depositions. However, Defendants were represented at depositions by not only their two outside counsel but also by a third attorney from Fannie Mae's Office of Legal Counsel. Given the manner in which Defendants chose to litigate this case, and the manner in which they themselves staffed the case, there is nothing unreasonable about Plaintiff's use of two attorneys at each deposition.[7] While it is unfortunate that it is the client who will bear the cost, it was the client's counsel who chose to use three lawyers to handle each deposition. Plaintiff needed to ensure that she had equivalent legal resources representing her interests, and is, therefore, entitled to all of the hours claimed by her counsel with respect to depositions.

Defendants contend that Plaintiffrespect to either counsel, the Court need not reach the issue of whether she has provided "specific evidence of the prevailing community rate for the type of work for which [she] seeks an award."

Plaintiff has simply failed to produce sufficient evidence and, thus, is not eligible for compensation at the rates set forth in the Laffey matrix.

user device, which makes connection selection decisions according to the stored policy, such as discussed above. Maps or lists of available access points may accompany the policy.
Currently, the focus and orientation for data offloading and policy control therefor is targeted to consumer mobile devices (e.g., smartphones), and consequently is based on the environments and characteristics of the users themselves—for example: where is a user likely to go with his or her smartphone (e.g., a coffee shop, a stadium, an office building, etc.)? How long is the user's mobile device likely to remain connected to a particular access point (e.g., 10-15 minutes, 1-2 hours, etc.)? Although such considerations may not necessarily be explicitly formalized in terms of metrics for data offloading policies and decision-making, they imply an underlying contextand your local first responders and local emergency managers.

Altered left atrial compliance after atrial appendectomy. Influence on left atrial and ventricular filling.
Previous studies have shown regional differences in atrial distensibility. We studied 12 open-chest dogs to test the hypothesis that left atrial compliance is decreased after removal of the left atrial appendage and to determine the effect of altered atrial compliance on atrial reservoir and conduit function. Sonomicrometer crystal pairs were used to measure the long- and short-axis diameters of the left atrium over a wide range of intracardiac pressures and volumes obtained by intravenous hetastarch infusion both before and after suture ligation of the left atrial appendage (appendectomy). Pulmonary venous flow was measured with an ultrasonic flowmeter, and transmitral flow velocities were measured with transesophageal Doppler echocardiography. After appendectomy, the diastolic pressure-volume relation was shifteddrop technique ([Fig. S1D](#figS1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). Water contact angles ranged from 11 to 103° for glass and silicone rubber surfaces, respectively, and differed significantly between all surfaces (*P* \< 0.05, Mann-Whitney test). Also, hydrophobic, bacterial-grade and more hydrophilic, tissue-grade polystyrene surfaces ([Fig. S1D](#figS1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}) demonstrated a significant (*P* \< 0.05, Mann-Whitney test) difference in water contact angles.

A total of 152 lesions were excised for benign disease including adenomas and high-grade dysplasias (39 %), 209 for malignancy for carcinomas in situ and adenocarcinomas (53.5 %). Twenty-nine (7.5 %) of TAMIS resections were for other pathology, of which the majority (23/29) were neuroendocrine lesions. The remaining resections were for mucocele, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, melanoma, and fibrosis.

Success with Robotic-TAMIS has been demonstrated with various patient positions and by use of a special


Mediated generalization in discrimination learning by Rhesus monkeys.
Monkeys received discrimination training in which the choice of either a simultaneous or a serial compound of two visual images was rewarded before we assessed the monkeys' conditioned preference for one of the images from the compound. This preference was reduced or blocked if the other image had been associated with reward rather than nonreward prior to compound training. By contrast, the preference was enhanced if the other image was associated with reward rather than nonreward after compound training. The magnitudes of the blocking and enhancement were unaffected by the temporal structure, simultaneous or serial, of the stimulus compound. These results are discussed in terms of the representation of stimulus compounds, the role of within-compound associations, and the similarities between serialof a species that had a childhood almost as long as a human’s childhood, would be totally isolated and alone.

not been published, she was using the 2012 updates in her practice.

and whether R.D.M. disagrees with the trial court's determination is simply not

material.

       R.D.M. argues that there is no requirement that the proposed expert's

qualifications "mirror" the opposing party's expert. But the trial court did not

exclude Dr. Rybicki's testimony because it did not mirror the CAC interviewer's.

Rather, it relied on several facts that support the conclusion that Dr. Rybicki was

not qualified to critique the CAC interview, such as that he had never conducted

a CAC interview, had not undergone the 40 hour training, and had not seen the

latest standard protocol updates.

       R.D.M. argues that "Dr. Rybicki was highly qualified to testify regarding the

presence and effect of suggestiveits admissible form along with cross-

examination."17 But as already discussed, the trial judge also excluded Dr.

Rybicki based on his lack of qualifications, and this was a proper exercise of

discretion.

regarding the first prong of the test for admissibility under ER 702, we need not

address the second.

Carrier aggregation (CA) is a technique used to increase communications system bandwidth. In CA, multiple component carriers are aggregated (or combined) to yield a carrier with greater bandwidth than the individual component carriers. The component carriers may be contiguous or non-contiguous. Carrier aggregation can be considered for licensed component carriers only, or a mixture of licensed and unlicensed component carriers.
In the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) Release-12 technical standards, aggregation of up to 5 component carriers is permitted. However, in the development of subsequent releases, the number of component carriers is increased. For example, in 3GPP LTE Release-13, up to 32 component carriers may be aggregated. It is expected that the maximum allowable number of component carriers will continue to increase.is not a block comment

a large amount of energy. Taken alone, the process of heating the laminated material so that the matrix material is uniformly softened can be time consuming.
Another option is to heat the pre-impregnated laminated material to a known temperature having a corresponding known and finite time-interval until the matrix material reaches its gel point. Once this temperature is reached, all the reinforcing fibres, which are to be inserted, must be in place before the matrix material begins to harden. It follows that, by reinforcing the laminated material in this way, there is limited scope for correcting production errors in the insertion process as once begun the curing process cannot be stopped.just say it's the most romantic spot in all Cornwall."

March and August, kept him from having testamentary capacity on July 7. Mr. Croucher had a failing memory resulting from his arteriosclerosis in March, before the will was executed. That same disease incapacitated Mr. Croucher in August, after the will was made. That sequence of events alone is some evidence that Mr. Croucher suffered from the condition on July 7. Moreover, the August hospital report indicated that Mr. Croucher had suffered from decreasing mental status for one month.
*58 We hold that there was some evidence of lack of testamentary capacity. In the face of this record, we cannot say that Mrs. Croucher established as a matter of law that her husband had testamentary capacity at the time that he executed his will.
Mrs. Croucher also complained to the Courtof Appeals that "there was no, or insufficient, evidence of lack of testamentary capacity to support the jury finding." Those points of error are appropriate when the party without the burden of proof complains of a jury finding. When, however, the party having the burden of proof appeals from an adverse fact finding in the trial court, the point of error should be that the matter was established as a matter of law, or that the jury's finding was against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence. O'Neil v. Mack Trucks, Inc., 542 S.W.2d 112 (Tex.1978). A complaint by the party with the burden of proof that there was no evidence to support the jury's finding invokes appellate jurisdiction to consider the contention that the opposite of

A statement by the US State Department detailed the US aid: $212 million was donated for Gaza renovation; $100 million was donated as urgent assistance to the PA’s budget, part of which is earmarked for reconstruction of the health care system in East Jerusalem. An additional $37 million will be donated to strengthen the PA’s institutions, and additional contributions of about $100 million will be transferred to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugeesin an orthogonal group is contractible.

The Lie algebra of $G=O(n,{\mathbb{K}})$ is formed by the skew-symmetric (resp. skew-hermitian) matrices, $$\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{o}(n,{\mathbb{K}})=\{X\in\mathcal{M}(n,{\mathbb{K}}) \colon X+X^*=0\}.$$ As a vector space $\mathfrak{g}= T_IG$, so the tangent space at any other point $A\in G$ is $$T_AG =L_A(T_IG)=\{Y\in\mathcal{M}(n,{\mathbb{K}})\colon A^*Y+ Y^*A=0\}.$$

\[noautovreales\] Let $X\in\mathfrak{o}(n,{\mathbb{K}})$ be a skew-symmetric (resp. skew-hermitian) matrix. Then $X$ has not real eigenvalues different from zero.

Suppose that there exists $t\in{\mathbb{R}}$ such that $Xv=vt$ for some $v\in{\mathbb{K}}^n$, $v\neq 0$. Then $v^{*}Xv=v^{*}vt=\vert v\vert^{2}t$ is a real number and, consequently, $$v^*Xv = (v^*Xv)^* = v^*X^*v = v^*(-X)v =-v^*Xv.$$ Therefore $v^{*}Xv$ is null. *i.e.* $
\vert v \vert^2 t=0$ hence $t=0$.

\[TANCONT\] The real vector space $T_{A}G$ of the matrices $Y$ such that $A^*Y+Y^*A=0$ is contained in $\Omega(A)=\{Y\in \mathcal{M}(n,{\mathbb{K}}) \colon \, A+Y \mathrm{\ is\ invertible}\}$.

If $A+Y$ is not invertible then there

\pm {\vert q_1 \vert /q_1},
\dots, \pm {\vert q_n \vert / q_n}
).$$ Since $$XA=AX={\mathop{\mathrm{diag}}}(\varepsilon_1\vert q_1\vert,\dots,\varepsilon_n\vert q_n\vert), \quad \varepsilon_k=\pm 1,$$ it follows that $S(A)=0$. So all critical points are isolated.

Applications to LS category {#APPLI}
===========================

The unitary group $U(n)$ {#UNITARY}
------------------------

W. Singhof proved in [@SINGHOF] that the LS category of the special unitary group $SU(n)$ is $n-1$, hence that of $U(n)\cong S^1\times SU(n)$ (diffeomorphism) is $n$. Although he obtained an explicit categorical covering by using the exponential map, his method has the inconvenience that a logarithm branch has to be chosen, hence introducing some technical complexities.

With the Cayley transform we obtain at each point $A\in G=U(n)$ a contractible open set $\Omega_G(A)$ diffeomorphic to the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{u}(n)$(see Theorem \[CONTRACTIBLE\]). It is then very easy to find an explicit categorical covering of the group by $n+1$ open sets.

\[CATUNITARY\] ${\mathop{\mathrm{cat}}}U(n)=n.$

Let $X\in U(n)$ be a unitary matrix and let $z\cdot{\mathrm{id}}\in U(n)$ be the diagonal matrix ${\mathop{\mathrm{diag}}}(z,\dots,z)$, where $z\in{\mathbb{C}}$ is any complex number with $\vert z \vert=1$. Remember that $X\in \Omega(z\cdot{\mathrm{id}})$ iff the matrix $z\cdot{\mathrm{id}}+X$ is invertible. Let $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n$ be the eigenvalues of $X$, then after diagonalizing we obtain: $$z\cdot{\mathrm{id}}+X=U{\mathop{\mathrm{diag}}}(z+\lambda_1,\ldots,z+\lambda_n)U^*, \quad U\in U(n),$$ meaning that $X\in\Omega(z\cdot{\mathrm{id}})$ iff $\lambda_i\neq -z, \forall i=1,\ldots,n.$

Let us take $n+1$ different complex numbers $z_0,\dots,z_n,$ with $\vert z_k\vert=1.$ Let $A_k=-z_k \cdot {\mathrm{id}}$. Since any matrix $X\in U(n)$ has at most $n$ different eigenvalues there is always some $-z_k$ which is not an eigenvalue of $X$, that is $X\in \Omega(A_k)$. This proves that $U(n)=\cup^n_{k=0}{\Omega_G(A_k)}$, hence ${\mathop{\mathrm{cat}}}U(n)\leq

to a T14 your chances are optimal yes, but to say that you can only or "realistically" get there from a T14 is not simply not true.

Do you think it's realistic for someone to assume they will be in the top 5-10% of their class, and be on the law review? B/c that's what it will take from most schools outside the T14.

the guy is just trying to debunk the pervasive myth on this board that if you don't get into T14 you have no chance at big law and shouldn't even bother going to law school for that matter...whether you would want a big law job is another matter...give him a break.[/quote]

I wouldn't call it a pervasive myth -- it's largely true. I don't think anyone onthis board has ever said you must go to a T14 to have *any* chance of working in biglaw; rather, people have just said if you want to have a realistic chance of working in biglaw, you need to go to a T14.

I can tell you based on my experience in OCI and now what I see as an associate in biglaw, my firm will basically only hire two kinds of people (1) people from the T14 w/decent credentials; and (2) people from solid regional schools with excellent credentials, i.e. top 5-10%, law review, etc. And "solid regional schools" consists mostly of schools ranked roughly 30 to 100 in USNews, but there are certainly a few exceptions here and there. And even among these regional schools, I think

I’ve quickly learned as an incoming 2nd Lieutenant that the generational differences in leadership and preferences in work ethic offer a very dynamic work environment. In most cases, the 2nd Lt is much younger and has less experience than the Senior NCOs and Airmen that they oversee. This generational divide could possibly prove problematic, however I believe that the approach by the 2nd Lieutenant is a pivotal aspect of setting the stage for the relationship. I personally believe that establishing a respectful relationship is the most beneficial approach to age differences. My time here at the AFA has provided experiences that have made this mindset clearer and more attainable to establish prior to my commissioning and serving.

sufficient      evidence   of   an   adverse   employment   action,   or   to

establish that “but for” his protected conduct, he would not have

suffered the adverse employment. Preliminarily, the district court

which a reasonable jury could conclude that Citizens offered him a

position it suspected he might reject as a pretext for firing him.

determine the skewness of the LS measurements, histograms were obtained for VTQ and ElastPQ measurements. Skewness and standard error of skewness was automatically provided by the SPSS software. χ^2^ analysis was used to determine whether technical success and reliable measurements of the two SWE methods were significantly different. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the LS measurements obtained by VTQ and ElastPQ. Spearman correlation coefficient was then obtained to determine correlation between the two pSWE techniques ([@B24]). Bland-Altman analysis was used to evaluate the agreement between VTQ and ElastPQ ([@B25]). The agreement between the two methods was further investigated by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) from mean VTQ and ElastPQ LS measurements.

The intraobserver reproducibility of LS measurements using ElastPQ was evaluated by calculating ICC in 14conclusion, ElastPQ provided comparable technical success rate and reliable LS measurements to VTQ elastography. The LS measurements made by the two modalities were strongly correlated. However, the two methods cannot be used interchangeably for hepatic fibrosis staging due to the large limit of agreement.

Background {#Sec1}
==========

Stress stimuli (biotic and abiotic) and intrinsic oxygen metabolism generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) as by-products. ROS production inactivates enzymes and damages vital cellular organelles and membranes, consequently causing cancers, aging, chronic inflammation, and plays a role in HIV infection, diabetes etc. \[[@CR1]--[@CR3]\]. ROS also modulate the principal neurotransmitters involved in the neurobiology of depression. Oxidative stress is implicated in depression and anxiety \[[@CR4]--[@CR6]\] and foremost depression is linked to lower levels of several endogenic antioxidant arrays \[[@CR7]\]. This indicates that oxidative stress processes might also play a relevant role in depression. ROS are also known to provoke inflammation and associated pain caused by tissue injury \[[@CR8]\].

Antioxidants protect biological systems from deleterious effects of ROS by free radicals scavenging mechanism. Antioxidants can mitigate ROS effect by reactingWall. ex. Benth. (Family Labiateae) is a perennial plant and is distributed widely in Kashmir and sub-Himalayan tract. It is recommended in Ayurveda to treat numerous ailments \[[@CR17]--[@CR19]\]. Medicinal properties of *A. bracteosa*, such as astringent, anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial led its use into folk medicine \[[@CR17]\]. In a recently reported quantitative ethnobotanic survey of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province of Pakistan, 92 medicinal plants species were listed. Among them, *A. bracteosa* represented highest usage frequency (6) especially as blood purifier, carminative, anti-cough, anti-asthma, anti-jaundice and as a cooling agent \[[@CR20]\]. Decoction of its bark is used to cure jaundice and sore throat \[[@CR21]\]. Leaves extract of *A. bracteosa* is used as a remedy for acne, pimples, stomach disorders, ear and throats infections and headache. Moreover the extract of


expressed as mg Gallic acid equivalent (GAE/g) per gram dry weight of extract.

In vitro antioxidant assays {#Sec8}
---------------------------

Extracts of *A. bracteosa* were analyzed for their antioxidant potential at 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.25, 15.63 and 7.81 μg/mL concentrations (prepared in DMSO). In all the assessment methods, ascorbic acid was used as positive control. For a more reliable conclusion, extracts were assayed by four different antioxidant determination methods.

### 2, 2- Diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl radical (DPPH) assay {#Sec9}

Already reported method was followed for DPPH assay with some modifications \[[@CR30]\]. Briefly, 950 μL of methanolic solution of DPPH (3.2 mg/100 mL) was mixed with 50 μL of each extract in eppendorf tubes, mixed and kept in dark at 37 °C for 1 h. Change in absorbance was recorded at 517 nm with spectrophotometer. IC~50~ value was calculated by table curve methodplaced on Eddy's hot plate kept at a temperature of 55 °C. Reaction time was documented when licking or jumping response against heat stimuli appeared in rats \[[@CR37]\]. Moreover a number of lickings in proceeding 30 s after first lick were also recorded.

### Antidepressant assay {#Sec17}

Forced swim method \[[@CR38]\] was used to screen the extracts for their potential as antidepressants. Fluoxetine HCl was used as positive control. The rats were acclimatized in a water filled glass tank (46 cm height, 21 cm diameter and 30 cm depth) maintained at 37 °C. The level of water was adjusted in such a way that rats could support themselves by retaining their tails at bottom. Rats were allowed to move freely in water tank for six minutes to complete their swimming practice. During the conduction of assay,


got attention due to their antioxidant potential especially free radical scavenging \[[@CR54]\]. Phenolic compounds are competent source for free radical scavenging \[[@CR55]\]. Polyphenolic compounds are extensively present in plant derived food products, and they confer additional antioxidant attributes. Higher phenolic contents of the medicinal plants take priority over other attributes to treat different diseases \[[@CR56]\]. It is considered that a positive correlation exists between phenolic contents and free radical scavenging \[[@CR44]\]. The plants containing abundant flavonoids are considered to be a probable source of natural antioxidants \[[@CR54]\]. Besides polyphenolic compounds, phytoeceysteroids are also regarded as strong antioxidants and majority of them are reported and isolated from *A. bracteosa* (discussed in detail in section 3.3.5).Table 1Comparison of IC~50~ values in different antioxidant assaysPlant extractDPPHH~2~O~2~PhosphomolybdenumReducing power*Ab*MR73.444.619.10.9*Ab*MA36.996.665.31.5*Ab*CR70.6434.759.91.1*Ab*CA104.48.8106.50.9AA0.412.73.32.1Reducing power assay describes absorbanceTest samples represented maximum carrageenan induced rat paw edema inhibition after 3^rd^ hour of treatment (Fig. [7a](#Fig7){ref-type="fig"}).

Edema inhibition at 3^rd^ hour of treatment is comparable to *Ab*CR (74.4 ± 1.8 %). We suggest that phytoecdysteroids present in *A. bracteosa* are responsible for this activity. These results are supported by a previous study \[[@CR58]\] where authors argued that anti-inflammatory activity of *Pfaffia iresinoides* and *Polypodium decumanum* are due to the presence of phytoecdysteroids in these plants. Phytoecdysteroids are reported hepatoprotective being able to regenerate the damaged liver \[[@CR59]\].

Sometimes, my thoughts whisper to me about life, living and who actually I am. Sometimes I am the mind, sometimes I am the soul, and sometimes I am the result of the past, living in ‘now’... sometimes I am nothing but just ‘someone’ who lives within and dares to whisper...

I AM THAT

Sometimes when I wake up
I know that I am dead
And being dead is not easy
As it bleeds in ‘now’
In moment by moments of living
Foot prints of red
Tree lined paths of memory
Stretched from here to eternity
Ocean full of scents
Of past memories

Uracil derivatives represent a \"privileged\" structural motif in a wide variety of natural and synthetic compounds with a broad spectrum of significant biological activities (Muller *et al.*, 1993). 6-Aminouracils are the important starting compounds for the synthesis of medicinally useful xanthines and theophyllines, which are now routinely used as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor for the treatment of asthma (Buckle *et al.*, 1994). 6-Aminouracils are regarded as the key intermediates for the synthesis of purine-based drugs, such as penciclovir, caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine (Zhi *et al.*, (2003); Devi & Bhuyan, 2005). In addition, pyrimidine scaffolds are reported to exhibit diverse biological and pharmaceutical activities (Ibrahim & El-Metwally, 2010; Deshmukh *et al.*, 2009), Makarov *et al.*, 2005). Herein, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of a new arylmethylene-bis uracil derivative,its gray-templed first cousin VH1 have drastically cut back on airing music videos in favor of more traditional program blocks. MTV's long-running afternoon request show has morphed into Total Request Live, a postmodern American Bandstand that trades Dick Clark for Carson Daly and screaming girls giving shout-outs to their fave raves for actual music videos. Then there's VH1's Behind the Music, a series that has cast (or recast) the careers of everyone from AC/DC to the Osmonds in the same rigid rise/fall/comeback mold borrowed from Greek drama.

On MTV's copycat-spawning The Real World, music assumes a subtler role, underlying every scene with soundtrack-of-a-generation pathos. The Real World is often cited as ground zero for "reality" TV, but it was PBS' An American Family, in fact, that introduced viewers to


Clock," shot to No. 1 after being featured at the beginning of the 1955 film. Hollywood followed suit with a series of similar films, includingand(both 1956), the latter of which was little more than musical performances connected by a thin plot and introductions by pioneer disc jockey Alan Freed.

Freed also had the first network rock & roll TV show, The Big Beat, in the summer of 1957, but it was Dick Clark's American Bandstand (which debuted less than a month later) that successfully demonstrated how youth culture could be marketed without controversy.

Airing each weekday afternoon from the WFIL-TV studios in Philadelphia, Bandstand functioned as a nationwide record hop for teens tuning in to hear the latest songs, learn the latest dances, and see the latest fashions. Clark wasthe authoritative moderator, and only clean-cut, well-dressed, mostly (but not exclusively) white dancers appeared onscreen. This undoubtedly helped pacify parents and prospective advertisers.

Although the show's popularity began waning in the mid-Sixties, American Bandstand stayed on the air until 1989. Vestiges of Bandstand could be seen in the Sixties on Shindig, in the Seventies on Soul Train, in the Eighties on Dance Party USA, and in the Nineties and today on MTV's Total Request Live.

The Beatles' 1964 film A Hard Day's Night was influential in codifying the visual style of music videos. Director Richard Lester combined elements of French New Wave cinema (e.g., quick cuts, restless camera work) with the upbeat, buy-now energy of TV commercials. The impish, unrestrained personalities of the Beatles themselves defined the classic onscreen pop-group


eclectic mix of rock videos and movies in 1980, Nesmith's Popclips was the immediate precursor to MTV.

Popclips aired on Nickelodeon in 1980, and its success got the Warner Amex Satellite Entertainment Company to consider the possibilities of a 24-hour cable music channel. Preliminary planning for this channel involved Nesmith, but his artistic vision of music video clashed with Warner Amex's vision of a heavily formatted and researched album-oriented rock outlet for the eyeballs. Nez balked and Warner Amex went ahead without him.

One Step Beyond

Before we get caught up imagining how MTV might have turned out under Nesmith, let me relate the thrill of coming home from middle school in 1982 and seeing MTV for the first time. Back then, as an underage music fan, you didn't take musicfar beyond rock & roll.

With programming supplied free by record companies, MTV spent its early creative energy on establishing an identity, which was crucial as cable expanded viewers' choices; "I Want My MTV!" became an effective rallying bray compelling cable operators to add MTV to their lineup. Meanwhile, the eye-candy overload in MTV's on-air promos was the video equivalent of the zip-bang jingles produced for Sixties Top 40 radio by Dallas-based PAMS Inc. Before long, MTV's branding techniques and visual styles were all over television.

MTV's status as a visual panoply of texts no longer than five minutes meant rock stars now had to devote considerable energy to their image. A few artists protested this new order. After trashing MTV in song on "Seen Your Video," the Replacements' 1985
