law rules of the state in which [the district court] sits.” Rosen v. Chrysler Corp., 205

F.3d 918, 921 n.2 (6th Cir. 2000). Michigan courts enforce contractual choice-of-law provisions,

Johnson v. Ventra Grp., Inc., 191 F.3d 732, 739 (6th Cir. 1999), and the Security Agreement, the

License Agreement, and the Reorganization Plan each contain such a provision.

        The Security Agreement provides for interpretation under “the laws of the State of New

York,” so New York law governs that Agreement. Next, the Reorganization Plan states that both

the Plan and any agreements executed in connection with the Plan are to be interpreted under

Michigan law.       Because the License Agreement was executed in connection with the

Reorganization Plan, Michigan law governs the interpretation ofthe rights to those updates, modifications, or improvements. Only after this initial

acquisition of the rights does the License Agreement provide for the assignment of those rights to

Cyber. The License Agreement therefore contemplates that any rights in updates, modifications,

or improvements to the SKSIC technology will in fact first become the property of Priva.

       This interpretation is consistent with the parties’ intent. Cyber and Priva plainly intended

that Article 5.2 would lead to Cyber’s eventual acquisition of ownership in the technologies that it

paid Priva to develop. Under Michigan law, however, an assignee or transferee acquires no

greater rights in the property at issue than the assignor or transferor itself possessed. See

Linguistic isolation level was determined by the percentage of households that were not primarily English-speaking. Minority level was determined by the percentage of the population from minority groups (e.g., black, Latino, Asian). Higher values of education level, poverty level, and linguistic isolation level indicate lower adaptive capacity, and higher income level indicates higher adaptive capacity.

Officials get valuable training and information to strengthen their communities

FRANKFORT, Ky.--The 32nd Annual Governor’s Local Issues Conference wrapped up today with city and county officials from across the state heading home with new tools and information to deliver growth and prosperity to their communities.

The conference held August 30-31, at the Galt House East in Louisville, was designed to give local officials training and information through a wide variety of workshops. This year’s theme, Mission Possible: Delivering Growth and Prosperity to Communities, was the focus of more than 30 different workshops officials could attend. Governor Ernie Fletcher was the conference’s keynote speaker.

“Each year, this conference provideslocal officials top-notch training and up-to-date information,” said Governor Fletcher. “Local officials can now go back to their communities with new tactics and techniques to make their communities better places to live and work.”

The conference began on Thursday, August 30, 2007. Office of the State Budget Director Brad Cowgill, (Ret.) Major Alecia Webb-Edgington, Executive Director, Kentucky Office of Homeland Security and State Auditor Crit Luallen were just some of the featured presenters.

The Governor’s Local Issues Conference is made possible through the Kentucky Local Issues Conference, Inc. Board, a non-profit organization comprised of members from the Kentucky Association of Counties (KACo), the Kentucky Council of Area Development Districts (KCADD), the Kentucky Judge/Executives Association (KJEA), the Kentucky League of Cities (KLC) and the Kentucky Magistrates and Commissioners Association (KMCA).

While approaches that assume a stationary annual cycle and analyze anomalies relative to such cycle are valid and can be successful at explaining the variability, allowing for deviations from periodicity provides an alternative view that can greatly facilitate the analysis and understanding of annual changes^[@CR21]^. The most commonly used method to estimate changes in the SLAC is a harmonic least-squares fit to running windows of a selected length^[@CR10],[@CR11],[@CR15]--[@CR18]^. This method, however, suffers from the limitation of requiring a window of at least 5 years in order to yield robust estimates^[@CR8]^, which limits inference about variations at decadal or shorter timescales (a 5-year running mean attenuates the power of decadal signals by \~61%). In addition, this method does not provide estimates within half the window size from the edgesof the amplitude time series (Fig. [1b](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}). The cross-correlation for stations on the same side of Cape Hatteras, either south or north, is very high (average of 0.80 and 0.89, respectively) reflecting the coherence along the two coastline sections, but it is much lower (average of 0.36) for stations on different sides of the Cape. The existence of two different regimes north and south of Cape Hatteras has been observed previously for inter-annual sea-level variability^[@CR24],[@CR25]^. Given the larger amplitude variations and the high vulnerability of the Gulf and Southeast coasts to sea-level changes, hereafter we focus on this region.Fig. 1Amplitude from tide-gauge records. **a** Temporal changes in the amplitude of the SLAC from tide-gauge records along the United States Gulf and Atlantic coasts as estimated using a Bayesian state-space


sums and differences of the frequencies of the two input signals. This implies that any modulated signal can always be mathematically described as the sum of the carrier and a superposition of sinusoids with frequencies slightly above and below the carrier frequency (see Methods for proof). This alternative interpretation is exactly analogous to the steric representation of the SLAC modulation. It turns out that the ocean, along its vertical dimension, behaves similarly to a Fourier transform in that it separates the frequency components of the SLAC into different ocean layers. This result will greatly facilitate our analysis.

The fact that changes along the coast are correlated over large distances but are decoupled from nearby deep-ocean changes is highly suggestive of fast wave propagation along the coast and indicates thatcoast. Importantly, the thermocline displacements associated with these waves are correlated with sea-level changes at the coast, and thus are captured by tide gauges. Propagation of sea-level anomalies along the coast has been observed in many regions^[@CR28]--[@CR30]^. The second plausible mechanism involves the generation of boundary waves by incident Rossby waves from the ocean interior^[@CR31]^, which could, similarly, affect coastal sea level over large sections of coastline. Processes of Rossby wave generation include wind-stress-curl^[@CR32]^ and buoyancy^[@CR33]^ forcing. In the following, we explore which of these two mechanisms is more likely to explain the observed changes in the SLAC amplitude.

We have assessed the role of longshore wind by means of the model described in Appendix A of ref. ^[@CR34]^. In particular, we have integrated the model equation from north


to south starting at Cape Hatteras using a range of values for the length decay scale (100--1000 km), but have found no agreement with the changes in the amplitude of the SLAC from tide-gauge records. In addition, we have compared the SLAC from tide gauges with the annual cycle of river discharge for the major rivers in the United States flowing into the Atlantic, again without finding a good agreement. This leaves us with the incidence of Rossby waves on the western boundary as the most likely mechanism. In the following, we concentrate on this possibility and explore it on the basis of the OCCAM and NEMO models.

To investigate the role of Rossby waves in controlling the SLAC modulation, we focus on the region east of the Bahamas. Theis computed with the SLAC modulator instead of the steric. The pattern of evolution (Fig. [6](#Fig6){ref-type="fig"}) shows a region of significant correlation several hundred kilometers off the coast of the Bahamas at lags of \~3 months, indicating a lagged relationship between this region and the western boundary. As the lag decreases, the region of correlation propagates westward until it reaches the coast at lag zero and then the entire shelf and coastal zone become significantly correlated, both in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Southeast coast. The close resemblance between the maps from the two models provides confidence in the robustness of this spatiotemporal pattern. We conclude that the SLAC modulator along the Gulf and Southeast coasts is related to density anomalies below the seasonal thermocline propagating westward.Fig.


waves with periods of \~10.5 months are required, but these are only possible at latitudes south of \~40°N.

The relationship between the SLAC and the UMO transport {#Sec5}
-------------------------------------------------------

Previous studies^[@CR37],[@CR40]^ have found that Rossby waves and oceanic eddies impinging on the western boundary can have a significant effect on the geostrophic component of the MOC, especially at intra-annual timescales. Therefore, a question arises as to whether the propagating density anomalies responsible for the changes in the SLAC amplitude exhibit themselves also in this component of the MOC. To explore this possibility, we analyze time series of UMO transport from RAPID^[@CR23]^ for the period April 2004 to October 2015 and from OCCAM for the period 1985--2003. The UMO transport is related to the horizontal difference in pressure between the eastern and(red solid) and the OCCAM model (red dashed). The gray-shaded area denotes the standard deviation about the average annual amplitude of the 10 tide-gauge stations. A long-term trend has been removed from all time series

Our analysis of tide-gauge records has revealed the presence of large inter-annual to decadal variations in the amplitude of the SLAC along the United States Gulf and Southeast coasts, which have been particularly large since the 1990s. Because the SLAC in this region peaks during the period of maximum hurricane activity in the Atlantic (between August and October), larger annual amplitudes imply increased risk of damage from hurricane storm surges due to a higher base water level. In addition, larger seasonal variations also significantly increase the likelihood of nuisance flooding and exacerbate other direct

The genus *Bacillus*encompasses Gram-positive rod-shaped, endospore-forming aerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacteria, and is a phenotypically and phylogenetically diverse taxon \[[@B1]\]. *Bacillus*species are distributed widely in nature. *Bacillus cereus*and *Bacillus anthracis*, both of which belong to the *B. cereus*group \[[@B2]\], are amongst those associated with human disease. Using 16S rDNA sequence analysis, Ash et al. \[[@B3]\] described the presence of five phylogenetically distinct groups in the genus *Bacillus*, and Nielsen et al. \[[@B4]\] subsequently described a sixth group belonging to the alkaliphilic bacilli. Two of these groups are the *B. cereus*group (*B. anthracis, B. cereus, Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus mycoides, Bacillus pseudomycoides and Bacillus weihenstephanensis*) and the *Bacillus subtilis*group (*B. subtilis, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus atrophaeus, Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens*) \[[@B3]\].

Since the genus *Bacillus*includes species of industrial, biotechnological and environmental


and physiological test data were useful in identifying characteristics that are considered typical of the genus *Bacillus*, allowing phenotypic characterization of the isolates.

Identifications based on 16S rRNA gene sequences are often limited, so fingerprint methods have been developed to characterize and distinguish *Bacillus*isolates \[[@B7],[@B9]-[@B11]\]. We used ITS-PCR, tDNA-PCR and rep-PCR genomic fingerprinting to examine phylogenetic relatedness among the isolates. Overall, the isolates phylogenetically closest to *B. sphaericus*and *B. pumilus*, and to the *B. subtilis*and *B. cereus*groups were clearly different from the reference strains.

ITS and tDNA-PCR are frequently used to identify bacterial species and to analyze their phylogenetic relationships \[[@B9]\]. Although there was sufficient resolution to differentiate among reference strains, it was not possible to associate the *Bacillus*isolates with the reference strains using this technique.

The Global Capital Leviathan

21032012

By William I. Robinson

The money mandarins of global capitalism and their political agents are utilizing the global crisis to impose brutal austerity and attempting to dismantle what is left of welfare systems and social states in Europe, North America and elsewhere. The budgetary and fiscal crises that supposedly justify spending cuts and austerity are contrived. They are a consequence of the unwillingness or inability of states to challenge capital and their disposition to transfer the burden of the crisis to working and popular classes. Global mobility has given capital enhanced class power over nationally based working classes and extraordinary structural influence over state managers who seek economic reactivation and macroeconomic stability.

A rubber band powered, piston-valve aspirator.
A new valved surgical aspirator is described which overcomes the shortcomings of conventional, valve-less suction devices. The valve piston which controls the flow of fluid is retained in the valve body by an ordinary rubber band. When the valve is opened by depressing the piston, the rubber band is stretched. When the piston is released, the rubber band shortens, automatically returning the valve to the closed position. Occluding the flow of air through a surgical aspirator between actual usages reduces the risk of bacterial wound contamination and reduces noise levels in the operating room. The rubber band powered, piston-valve aspirator is simple and efficient, and therefore it is suitable for hospital use.Get all the latest news on coronavirus and more delivered daily to your inbox.

proliferative capacity and a higher degree of osteoblastic maturation than younger donors. The higher degree of osteoblastic maturation explains the higher response of the cultures to mechanical stress, in line with earlier studies on chicken bone cells. This study found no evidence for loss of mechanosensitivity with donor age. The reduced growth capacity might, however, be a factor in age-related bone loss.bitstream a, the barrel shifter 15A shifts the bitstream b by 8 bits to the right when receiving the bitstream b.
In a third cycle, a bitstream c having a length of 24 bits is transmitted to the bitstream packing module 15. Since the barrel shifter 15A has no sufficient remaining capacity, the bitstream c is divided into bitstreams c1 and c2 having a length of 8 bits and 16 bits, respectively, which are then respectively stored in the barrel shifters 15A and 15B. Assume the packet length generated by the bitstream packing module 15 is fixed at 32 bits. At this point, the bitstreams a, b, and c1 in the barrel shifter 15A are enough for a packet to be generated. Therefore, in a fourth cycle, apart from


receiving a new bitstream d, the bitstream packing module 15 serially merges the bitstreams a, b, and c1 to one packet and outputs the packet. Referring to FIG. 2B, the bitstream c2 is relocated to align to the left of the barrel shifter 15A, and the bitstream d (8 bits) is stored into a segment adjacent to the bitstream c2 in the barrel shifter 15A.
It can be seen from the above descriptions that, in order to correctly serial the bitstreams, each time when receiving a bitstream, the bitstream packing module 15 is mandated to selectively relocate the bitstream to a correct segment by barrel shifting. Taking FIG. 2B for example, a start position of the bitstream b needs to be the 9th bit from the left in thebits. Further, in response to the expanding amount of image data, requirements to processing speeds of encoder hardware have also become significantly higher to encode the increased bitstreams. For example, if the VLC module 14 is required to process two sets of data in each cycle, the length of the bitstreams received by the bitstream packing module 15 in each cycle may possibly be longer than 32 bits. Correspondingly, the bitstream packing module 15 needs to provide a maximum shift amount greater than 32 bits within each cycle.
A barrel shifter having a maximum shift amount greater than 32 bits (e.g., 64 bits) is not difficult in implementation. However, time for completing the shift with an intuitive design gets longer as the shift amount increases. While processing a large

Our objective was to determine whether serum leptin levels and obesity-related factors could affect outcome for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients treated with aromatase inhibitors (AIs). Sixty MBC patients treated with first line hormonal therapy were enrolled in this study. Median age was 51 years (range 28-75). Median leptin level was 19400 pg/ml (1970-91900) and estradiol level 29.6 pg/ml (4.0-181.9). Factors associated with overall survival in univariate analysis were age and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), whereas only WHR retained significance in the multivariate analysis. However, no factor was associated with progression-free survival. However, WHR was found to be a significant prognostic marker only if the leptin level wasApparently I have the wrong number.

would be disassembled and sealed away in the presence of each sides auditors. It would be the same for research and manufacturing of psycho frames.

The clause in the Universal Century Charter revealed to all of mankind caused ripples between the Earthnoids and Spacenoids. Nonetheless, Banagher and Mineva believed in the hope and possibility of humanity and left the answers to the people. At the same time, by sealing away the two Singularity One units, it subdued the cause of heated weapons development competitions.

Brick hypothesizes that perhaps mankind had no choice but to shy away from the power of God that it had obtained. If mankind could harness that power, people could possibly have true innovation. But would they be prepared? He wanted to tell Michelle this, but itwould soon be in the skies over the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Jona had been training for a considerable amount of time but this was his first time in real combat. His hands were sweaty as he held the control sticks telling himself not to hesitate and if he did, he’d be dead.

A voice came over the comms that their target had been sighted. One armored car, two Anksha mobile armors for escort, an FD-03 Gustav Karl and three RGM-79D Jegans. The armored car was on its way from the Federation Forces California base. The team descends and a battle ensues. Jona battles one of the Anksha and pierces the cockpit with his beam naginata. He’s reminded that he is logistical support from the leader of the Dijeh


father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at work and collapsed and died.

While the survivor’s pension and his mothers office job covered things, life was more difficult than before, but he was glad there was an airport nearby to watch planes at.

**UPDATED LATER – NOTHING OF REAL IMPORTANCE IN THIS CHAPTER**

CHAPTER.03 ATONEMENT

SECTION 1

U.C.0087, over the South Pacific. Jona, Rita and Michele are aboard a Federation Forces transport that left the Augusta base in Georgia and had taken a route from the North Pacific across the equator to the South Pacific. They were huddled beneath a blanket as they hid behind a cargo container. The aircrafts destination was the Torrington base in Australia. Jona felt he was drawn to the continent again, even if there was nothing there. He felt thatby the funnels released from the Narrative Gundam. He was seeing Rita’s memories now. Michelle repeatedly tried to interject with what seemed to be excuses only to be called out by Jona as a liar every time. They abandoned Rita. They robbed her of her body. Michelle tries to explain that by the time she knew where she was she was already gone. Once again Jona calls her a liar and this time his anger explodes to the point where the muzzles of the II Neo Zeong were about to fire and pierce the wall of the colony.

Iago had been listening to the conversation via psycho waves as well but didn’t really know what was going on. He tries to walk Jona back from his anger by telling


he tells them that the Republic regarded the strategy as a failure and is cutting off their support and that their ship will be shot down. He sais that he has no intention of dying at the hands of the Federation so he implores everyone to follow him.

Getting on board the Sinanju Stein, he exits the ship and docks with the II Neo Zeong. He says he’ll tell everyone his target. He swears to get his revenge on Jona and Rita as well. In front of him lies Side 6’s helium 3 reserve base. The cylindrical storage tanks were coupled in a cross section at the center of a small asteroid base.

SECTION 5

Jona and Brick are on the mobile suit deck discussing why Michelle brought him into theof the psycho frame from red to blue. Regardless of Jona’s intention as a pilot, the wave released from the arm of the Narrative extends backwards and the funnel bits were dismantled. The wave washed over the right arm unit of the II Neo Zeong as well dismantling it as well. While all of this was happening, Jona was completely unaware. Just then Rita’s voice told him to target the core.

Jona is shocked because the core was the Sinanju Stein. She tells him that it should not be in this world. Jona thrust out the other hand of the Narrative towards the Sinanju Stein. The psycho frame of the Narrative Gundam, shining brilliantly, tried to be released again. There was a cry of anger from inside the Sinanju


There, the figure of Singularity One, Unicorn Gundam Unit 1, which was sealed away in a place unknown to anyone.

Mineva muses that it’ll be their life’s work to keep it sealed away. She says it to Banagher Links, who wasn’t there at the moment. Guided by the psycho waves of Rita Bernal and Michelle Luio, he threw himself into the battle again to save Jona Bashta. Banagher, after all, was her soulmate.

EPILOGUE

Jona regained his consciousness. When he opened his eyes, the light reflected from the stars was visible through the psycho suits helmet visor. When he tried to move his stiffened limbs, he felt pain running throughout his entire body, causing him to groan slightly.

He was told to stay still, that his body was being killed by theimportant to mention that nearly every single mass shooter in the United States in recent years has been on antidepressants. The mainstream media never talks about this connection because the pharmaceutical companies purchase gobs of advertising time from them. But the reality of the matter is that these drugs can cause people to behave in extremely irrational ways. Even the Mayo Clinic admits this…

Most antidepressants are generally safe, but the Food and Drug Administration requires that all antidepressants carry black box warnings, the strictest warnings for prescriptions. In some cases, children, teenagers and young adults under 25 may have an increase in suicidal thoughts or behavior when taking antidepressants, especially in the first few weeks after starting or when the dose is changed.

Of course that is a very


complete preposition phrase by themselves. Such intransitive prepositions are called 'particles' by many grammarians when they act idiomatically as the complements of verbs.
Many such p-verbs undoubtedly arose out of fuller transitive constructions from which the object of the preposition has been dropped. Tired out, for instance, just like its Latinate synonym exhausted has a clear sense of something having been taken out of the patient: she is emptied of energy or strength or vitality.
But such truncation in the remote past of these idioms is no longer felt to be any sort of ellipsis. In filling out a form there is no sense on the part of any speaker that something has been taken "out" of anything else—the meaning added by the preposition out is a color of thoroughnessThe Persian’s love of poetry stretches back for thousands of years. They are famous both for their poets and their epic poems and even today you will come across Iranians who can recite hundreds, and in many cases, thousands of verses. I always remember a time when friends of Feri came over from the US to stay and one evening we invited a few more Iranians to join us. After the meal the men disappeared. A good while later I went to find them. There they were sitting in a circle, cross-legged on the hard floor in the sumptuous surroundings of the utility room, happily reciting poetry to each other.

That’s what they do. I admit that I found it strange at first, but listening to the rhythmic, lilting


austerity is a marked contrast to the Mausoleum of Hafez which exists today. The centrepiece is the marble tombstone engraved with two of Hafez’ poems. The tombstone stands within an 8-columned rotunda whose roof is coated with copper on the outside and decorated with intricate mosaics made of enamel tiles on the inside. The beautiful garden complex includes a popular tea house where Feri and I ordered tea to drink under the tapestry canopies whilst enjoying the early evening warmth by the rectangular pool.

I understand that the Mausoleum of Hafez is the most visited historical and cultural site in Shiraz. Seeing the number of people come to pay their respects during the short time we were there, I am not surprised.

With tea finished, we made our way outof the garden and set out this time for the Mausoleum of Saadi.

Saadi

Unlike Hafez who rarely left Shiraz, Saadi travelled extensively in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. His travels clearly influenced his writing and the combination of his experiences and the wisdom gathered during his journeys mean that his works are highly valued by Persians. One of his sayings, referring directly to his travels is;

“I have wandered through many regions of the world, and everywhere have I mingled with the people. In each corner, I have gathered something of good.”

This resonates with me following my travels in Iran and I hope it continues!

In many ways, the setting of Saadi’s Mausoleum is even more spectacular than the gardens where Hafez lies in rest. The site covers an area


pictures rather than rugs they are so delicate and tightly put together. Traditional Persian carpets are knotted and not woven and thousands of knots make up each row. Each knot is made by hand which is extremely time-consuming and harsh on the fingers. Carpets or rugs can have as many as 900 knots per square inch although between 500-700 is more usual.

There are many traditional designs, and each region of Iran has their own special design and colours that they use. Kashan is considered to be the Persian carpet capital and traditionally produces carpets of brick red, ivory and beige with dark blue medallions and borders. The carpet makers of Esfahan however tend to use traditional designs like the Tree of Life and contemporary items feature more pastelskills learned and honed over the years and the knowledge passed on from generation to generation will be lost unless Mrs Aghaee finds someone interested in taking this on.

Na’in old mosque designed and woven by Mrs Aghaee

I would have loved to have brought a rug made by Mrs Aghaee home with us, but with the smallest (and the most beautiful in my opinion) was £2,000 and therefore beyond our means this holiday. Maybe next time!

Compared to some of the elaborately decorated and colourful mosques I have visited in Iran, being one of the four oldest mosques in the country, the Congregational Mosque in Na’in is no less beautiful for its simplicity of design and clean lines shown to perfection against the clear blue sky.

Q:

Drag and drop nested list order with data-attribute

I have a drag and drop list of parent and child categories. I want to set the data attributes to the numerical order when I hit the test button. The parent data attribute currently works. But I'm having trouble getting the child data attribute to work correctly.
So for each parent, the child category should be number 1,2,3... and then the count should reset for the next parent. Right now the child doesn't reset for the new parent. How can I get the child to reference its parent so I can get the counter to reset?
Not sure if this is the best way to accomplish this. The end goal is to grab those data attributes and use that number to update     ui.placeholder.removeClass('placeholder');

The present invention relates to a method for producing rocker arms used in a valve-operating system of an internal combustion engine. More particularly, this invention relates to a dimensional improvement of a roller-receiving portion formed of one end of a rocker arm.
A rocker arm is a constituent part for converting rotary motion of a cam which rotates and connects to a valve-operating system, namely a crank shaft in an internal combustion engine, to reciprocative motion of a valve shaft of the intake or exhaust valve of the engine.
In known constructions, since one end of the rocker arm contacts a cam shaft which rotates at high speed, it has been formed with the roller-receiving end portion as an insert made of a wear-resistant, high alloy steel, or by formationwith co-localization of EGFP and endogenous nestin (D).

With the transfer deadline less than two hours away, a single online article quickly sent the FPL community into meltdown.

Pep Guardiola considers dropping Sergio Agüero for Huddersfield match https://t.co/8ypfWsJyjD b — jamie jackson (@JamieJackson___) August 18, 2018

Speculative football articles are not uncommon and are usually taken with a generous pinch of salt - but the fact that it came from a source as respected as The Guardian made those who had earmarked the City striker as their GW2 captain immediately sit up and take notice.

A hectic debate among FPL managers on merits or otherwise of the article soon followed, with many concluding (not unreasonably) that the risk of a one-pointer compared to


up with a 10-pointer will more than make up for it.

A final word on Aaron Wan-Bissaka

The search is neverending, but it’s not often that you find a player priced at £4m who you can trust in FPL.

This season has more than most. Ryan Bennett (WOL, 4.0) has started both games for Wolves and Jon Stankovic (HUD, 4.0) is even playing out of position in (defensive) midfield. All eyes will be on Huddersfield on Saturday (OK, but maybe a few more than usual) to see if goalkeeper Ben Hamer (HUD, 4.0) can retain his place after shipping six against Man City.

Players in this category are typically enablers, however - serving a simple mathematical function of filling a space and freeing up cash elsewhere. Any points they provide are deemedby varying their size ratio in the binary-size systems. Our simulation reveals that the transition can be either continuous or discontinuous depending on the number of different-size particles. This result suggests that the size distribution of particles has a significant effect on the collective behavior of self-propelled particles in viscous fluids.

the long series of ”strange looks” which I keep receiving to this day. Another reason for the lack of interest was actually the lack of abilities. I could not follow a very complicated algebra of the early works on string theory and didn’t have any secret weapon to struggle with it.

After the asymptotic freedom breakthrough, Polyakov quickly saw that a non-perturbative understanding of gauge theory was needed. He (independently from Wilson) developed lattice gauge theory, but acknowledges that, unlike Wilson, he did not have the Wilson loop criterion for confinement. In 3d, he worked out the dual-superconductor picture, where monopoles are responsible for confinement, and he has interesting comments about efforts over the years to use instantons in 4d, something that works for the N=2 supersymmetric case (Seiberg-Witten,

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD

Lyle Davis, PresidentGames. The bid was technically a joint venture between Vancouver and the Coast Mountains resort town of Whistler, which lies about 70 miles (110 km) north of Vancouver and was the proposed site of most of the Games’ skiing and sliding events. The Vancouver bid to host the Games was shortlisted along with those from Bern, Switz., P’yŏngyang, N.Kor., and Salzburg, Austria, in August 2002. Bern withdrew its bid one month later after a referendum indicated that most Bern voters did not want to pay for the Games. On July 2, 2003, the final vote of the IOC was held in Prague. In the first round of balloting, P’yŏngyang captured 51 votes, while Vancouver trailed in second place with 40 and Salzburg received 16. Salzburg was eliminated for

Canada and the Winter Olympics in Pictures

Notable Athletes Competing at the Vancouver Winter Olympics

A number of prominent athletes who have had past Olympic success will be competing in the 2010 Winter Olympics. While other less-known competitors will surely make their marks on the upcoming Games, the following athletes are all leading medal contenders in their respective sports.

The first organized international competition involving winter sports was introduced just five years after the birth of the modern Olympics in 1896. This competition, the Nordicwas the site of the 1976 Summer Games and Calgary, Alberta, hosted the 1992 1988 Winter Olympics. The following summaries of the two previous Canadian Olympics are taken from Britannica’s Olympic Games article.

The 1976 Montreal Summer Games

Despite producing 32 world records and a host of memorable performances, the 1976 Games drew more attention to the apparent problems of the Olympic movement. Twenty-six countries, mostly from Africa, chose to boycott the Games when the IOC denied their request to ban New Zealand, whose national rugby team had recently toured South Africa. Taiwan also boycotted, when Canada, which officially recognized the People’s Republic of China, would not permit Taiwan to be identified at the Games as the Republic of China. Questions arose about the integrity of the competition itself. Many


Influenza virus RNA in the lung and lymphoid tissue of immunologically intact and CD4-depleted mice.
The distribution and clearance of viral RNA (vRNA) and mRNA has been analysed for the acute and recovery stages of the pneumonia induced by intranasal infection of C57BL/6J mice with H3N2 influenza A viruses. Amplification of viral genomic material by the polymerase chain reaction showed that the influenza haemagglutinin (HA) gene was eliminated from the lungs of immunologically intact mice by day 14 post-infection, whereas in vitro depletion of the CD4+ T cells delayed clearance by at most 4 days. Viral RNA encoding the HA gene was first demonstrated in the regional mediastinal lymph nodes at 48 h, and continued to be present until day 6 or day 10 after infection of the intactof which have been discovered as a result of microlensing campaigns [e.g., @udalski99a]. Despite decades of effort, however, there have been persistent differences in the inferred LMC distance from different methods [see @benedict02a], including ones involving the same basic calibrators such as RR Lyrae or Cepheid variables.

The Galactic [*P-L*]{} relationship, on the other hand, was traditionally established using open clusters and associations containing Cepheids [see @feast87; @feast03; @sandage06a]. There is also a steadily growing body of parallax work from the [*Hipparcos*]{} mission [@feast97; @madore98; @lanoix99; @groenewegen00; @vanleeuwen07] and the [*HST*]{} [@benedict02b; @benedict07], as well as distances derived from the Baade-Becker-Wesselink moving atmospheres method [@gieren97; @gieren98; @gieren05] and interferometric angular diameter measurements [@lane00; @lane02; @kervella04a; @kervella04b]. In the current paper we focus on the Cepheid distance scale as inferred


reproduce the shapes of the main-sequence (MS) in several colors, allowing the determination of distances to nearby clusters to an accuracy of $\sim0.04$ mag in distance modulus (or $2\%$ in distance) [@an07 hereafter Paper III].

We extend the Hyades-based empirical corrections on theoretical isochrones using the Pleiades and apply our techniques to a set of Cepheid-bearing open clusters that have good multi-color photometry. Selection of cluster sample and compilation of cluster photometry are presented in § 2. Procedures on the isochrone calibration and MS-fitting method are described in § 3. New cluster distances and extinctions are presented in § 4. In § 5 we construct multi-wavelength Galactic [*P-L*]{} relations and discuss various systematic errors. In § 6 we estimate distances and reddenings for the maser galaxy NGC 4258, the LMC, and M33. We summarize our resultsend of the iteration, $\sigma_0$ values in $(B - V, V)$ and $(V - K_s, V)$ were (0.055 mag, 0.101 mag) in NGC 129, (0.050 mag, 0.102 mag) in VDB 1, (0.023 mag, 0.064 mag) in NGC 5662, (0.048 mag, 0.102 mag) in Lyng[å]{} 6, (0.031 mag, 0.078 mag) in NGC 6067, (0.033 mag, 0.058 mag) in NGC 6087, (0.043 mag, 0.111 mag) in M25, and (0.011 mag, 0.026 mag) in NGC 7790. These excess dispersions are most likely due to differential reddening of heavily reddened, young open clusters. Note that the ratio of $\sigma_0$ values from $(B - V, V)$ and $(V - K_s, V)$ is also approximately equal to the color-excess ratio $E(V - K_s)/E(B - V) \approx 2.8$ (see below). We discuss in detail the effects of differential reddening on [*P-L*]{} relations in § \[sec:pl\]. In $(J - K_s, K_s)$ and $(H - K_s, K_s)$, photometric errors were usually


K_s, V)$, and at $-0.8 \leq M_K \leq 1.7$ in $(J - K_s, K_s)$ and $(H - K_s, K_s)$. Distance determinations came from stars with $-0.1 \leq (B - V)_0 \leq 0.5$ and the corresponding color ranges in other colors with the same $M_V$. For Lyng[å]{} 6 and NGC 7790, $(V - K_s, V)$ and $(J - K_s, K_s)$ were not used in the distance estimation because the lower parts of the MS are below the 2MASS completeness limit ($K_s \approx 14.3$).

Since the color excess and $R_V$ depend on the intrinsic color of stars, we adopted the color-dependent relations from @bessell98 [ hereafter BCP98] and M. S. Bessell (2007, private communication). Their formulae were based on the theoretical stellar spectral energy distributions with the extinction law from @mathis90. Specifically, theirworse the agreement with the brighter calibration in the previous studies. The total $\chi^2$ of the fit becomes smaller ($6.9$ for 6 degrees of freedom) if we add in quadrature the semi-interquartile range to the error in $\langle M_V \rangle$.

In summary, our Galactic [*P-L*]{} relation in $V$-band has a statistical error of 0.07 mag and a systematic error of 0.14 mag in the zero point (Table \[tab:plerr\]). If we add these quantities in quadrature, the combined error would be 0.16 mag. Since we determined the Galactic [*P-L*]{} relations in other filter passbands with the same cluster distance, reddening, and $R_V$ estimates as in $V$, their zero-point errors are correlated with each other. Therefore, we took $0.16$ mag as a systematic error in the Cepheid distance scale in the following section.

Extragalactic Distance Scales
=============================

Cepheids have


long served as our most commonly used standard candles for extragalactic distance studies. The conventional way of estimating extragalactic Cepheid distances is to use a fiducial [*P-L*]{} relation derived from the LMC Cepheids with an adopted distance to the LMC. However, geometric distances to a few galaxies have become available in recent years, providing an opportunity to compare with the Cepheid distance scale. In this section we therefore apply our Galactic [*P-L*]{} relations to estimate a distance to NGC 4258 (M106) that has an accurate geometric distance measurement from its water maser sources [@herrnstein99]. We then infer a distance to the LMC and compare our result with those adopted by the [*HST*]{} Key Project and the SN Ia calibration program [@sandage06b], from which we consider a possible increase in theirHubble constant $H_0$ measurements. We finish with a discussion of the potentially interesting case of M33 (NGC 598). Our most fundamental conclusion is that the distance to NGC 4258 is in good agreement with the geometric measurement when using the [*P-L*]{} relations inferred from open clusters. We also compare our LMC distance with those from the [*HST*]{} [@benedict07] and the [*Hipparcos*]{} parallax studies [@vanleeuwen07].

The Maser-host Galaxy NGC 4258 {#sec:4258}

From the persistent nature and low luminosity it is possible to obtain a constraint on $P_{\rm orb}$ using accretion disk theory.

Infectious Disease Notification Practices in Victoria, 2016-17.
Infectious disease surveillance in Victoria, Australia is based upon a legislated requirement for doctors and laboratories to notify suspected or diagnosed cases of specific conditions to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The department undertakes regular audits of notification practices in Victoria typically every two years. The objective of this particular audit was to describe notification practices in 2016 and 2017, assess the effect of enhanced surveillance programs (ESPs) on Indigenous status data completeness and provide a baseline assessment that can be used to monitor the impact of a recent legislative change to notification requirements for several of the notifiable diseases which came into effect on 1 September 2018. Notified cases reported to DHHS between 1 January 2016 and 31over language both spoken & written and are extroverts.

It requires great skill to corner a charmer on anything. Also there are very few people who can resist getting charmed by them. Charmers make it a point to consistently cut across departments and talk to people. A charmer will make people feel comfortable with their presence. There is a lot of communication within and outside department when there is a charmer in the leading seat.

Charmers appreciate good work and encourage value addition. It’s very easy to work with them.

Charmers have high need for appreciation & acknowledgement making them winners in anything they do.

Promote them before they promote themselves. These bosses believe they are ready for the next big move. They move with authority and are masters of their game. They start looking for and grabbing additional opportunities/ responsibilities. They could come up with ideas and suggestions to help improve processes or create new business opportunities. Their subordinates enjoy freedom, take decisions and are groomed to take up their role as they move out.

The napoleon believes in building bridges they have to move up. They would like to be seen as people’s person ready to give them a better career.

A napoleon expects you to rise up to the occasion and handle additional responsibility. This is the perfect time to work hard and assume the role of a boss. Help the bossno merit. Accordingly, the petition is denied.

On or about January 10, 2004, Roman arrived at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City and applied for admission as a returning lawful permanent resident. The Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) denied Roman admission. On June 5, 2004, DHS served Roman with a Notice to Appear (“NTA”) stating that he was inadmissible as an “arriving alien” because

he had been convicted of the crime of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree in violation of Section 110/220.39 of the New York State Penal Law. DHS charged Roman with removability under INA § 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(II), which states that “any alien convicted of, or who admits having committed, or who admits committing acts which constitute the essential elements of

The NTA prepared by DHS identified the date and nature of Roman’s state convictions, as well as the statutory basis for his removal. There is no legal or constitutional error in the IJ and BIA’s determination that Roman’s admission of removability — which explicitly admitted the allegations in the NTA “and the basis for the charge of removal” — satisfied the government’s evidentiary burden. “[W]hen an admission is made as a tacticalbeen used to fill the spaces between cargo and between cargo and the internal walls of an intermodal container, box car, cargo hold, truck trailer, etc. Often, load containment enclosures are secured to the floor or sides of the transport container and prevented from moving with respect to each other by specially fabricated wood or steel framing, floor blocking, rubber mats, steel strapping, or heavy air bags.

In this paper, we describe a simple new design for the application of controlled, top-hat profiled wall shear stress forces in a way that is independent of hydrostatic pressure and oxygen tension, based on a rotating wall vessel system. This system has been applied to the culture of rat coronary endothelial cells obtained with a Langendorff-derived procedure isolation. Endothelial cells are immunopurified on the basis of RECA expression, and conservation of endothelial phenotype has been assessed on the basis of morphology, RECA and von Willebrand factor expressions and diI-Ac-LDL uptake. Shear stress induced by the rotating wall vessel was measured using a mathematical formula specifically designed for this type of

During off-periods before treatment with LCIG, severe akinesia and freezing of gait were evident, and sheof LCIG was begun, the severity of dropped head improved enough for the patient to obtain a frontal view. From day 5 after starting the LCIG infusion, the dose of LCIG (levodopa/carbidopa: 22/5.5 mg/h) was not changed. Seven days after starting LCIG, we repeatedly examined the angle of the dropped head. The angle in the natural position improved to 14.04° (Figure [1](#F1){ref-type="fig"}C). On maximum effort to avert the neck, the angle decreased from 28.17 to 9.73° (Figures [1](#F1){ref-type="fig"}B,D). This good status was maintained until the evening. After the evening on the same day, the angle deteriorated to 31.53° in the natural position and 22.62° on maximum effort to avert the neck.

2.7. Structure-Function Analysis of Novel Lsc3 Mutants {#sec2dot7-molecules-19-08434}
------------------------------------------------------

In the current work we introduce fourteen novel mutants of the Lsc3 protein of *P. syringae* pv. tomato DC3000. Phenotype of these mutants will be discussed according to the location of mutated residue, starting from N-terminus of the protein.

The Asp31Asn substitution originates from a random multiple mutant of Lsc3, MutG. *E. coli* expressing MutG from a plasmid had nonmucoid colonies on sucrose-containing agar medium. This mutant Lsc3 variant had four substitutions: Asp31Asn, Glu252Gly, Asp300Asn and Cys371Trp \[[@B21-molecules-19-08434]\]. Based on MutG, two single mutants, Asp300Asn \[[@B21-molecules-19-08434]\] and Asp31Asn were designed.

  the transform window. The nature of human perception is such that these so-called xe2x80x9cpre-echosxe2x80x9d can become audible if they occur more than 2 ms before the actual transient of the audio signal to be coded. This is the reason why, in many transform coders, the transform length of the time-frequency transform can be switched over to shorter windows, i.e. shorter block lengths, having a time length of typically 5 to 8 ms and consequently a higher time resolution. This enables a finer temporal shaping of the quantization noise and thus a suppression of these pre-echos, whereby these are no longer, or only very slightly, audible when the coded signal is decoded again in a decoder.
Devices for detecting a transient in an audio signal are thus used to match


the transform length of the time-frequency transform to the properties, and in particular to the transient properties, of the audio signal as required by the human ear.
FIG. 3 shows a known transform coder 100, which is in general implemented according to the Standard MPEG 1-2 Layer 3 (ISO/IEC IS 11172-3, Coding of Moving Pictures and Associated Audio, Part 3: Audio). A time signal arrives via an input 102 at a block Time/frequency transform 104. The time signal at input 102, which is typically a discrete-time audio signal obtained from a continuous-time time signal by means of a sampling device (not shown), is transformed by the block Time/frequency transform 104 into consecutive blocks of spectral values, which are passed to a block Quantization/coding 106, the output signal of theused independently of the psychoacoustic model prior to its calculation. The method shown in FIG. 4 normally employs an FFT transform which is adapted to the transform energies in the individual frequency groups. Furthermore, if a real-time implementation of the coder is required, the Fourier transform performed specially for transient detection is too costly, i.e. requires too high a computational effort in a digital signal processor (DSP), an effort which would be better exploited elsewhere in the coder, e.g. for quantization, for windowing or in the psychoacoustic model.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a method and a device for detecting a transient in a discrete-time audio signal and a method and a device for coding audio signals which enable reliable detection of transients, and


current segment and the energy of the unfiltered discrete-time audio signal in the current segment and comparing the current relationship with a corresponding preceding relationship; and
detecting a transient on the basis of the comparison performed in the step of determining and/or the comparison performed in the step of comparing;
(b) windowing the discrete-time audio signal with a short window when a transient has been detected and with a long window when no transient has been detected so as to generate blocks of discrete-time audio signals;
(c) transforming the blocks of the discrete-time audio signal from the time domain into the frequency domain so as to generate blocks with spectral components; and
(d) quantizing and coding the blocks of spectral components so as to obtain a coded audio signal.
The present invention iswith the result that a more precise transient detection is possible than with the rise detection alone. In some cases the rise detection on its own can, of course, also produce results which are already satisfactory.
It should be noted here that a transient can be detected either on the basis of the comparison made in step (c) of the method in accordance with the first aspect of the present invention or on the basis of the comparison made in step (d) of the method in accordance with the first aspect of the present invention or on the basis of both comparisons.

Seventy-two hours later, cells were pelleted and lysed using DirectPCR Cell lysis buffer (Viagen Biotech).

The group showed that R372A/K375A/D450N mutations completely inhibited integration of both unfused *piggyBac* and *piggyBac* fused to the zinc finger. Interestingly, they showed that R372A/D450N mutations dramatically reduced integration of unfused *piggyBac* but that integration activity was rescued by fusion of the zinc finger. A potential mechanism for this rescue was proposed in which *piggyBac* alone is inhibited from integrating due to the R372A/D450N mutations and that the fused zinc finger promotes DNA binding

       A.      Jurisdiction

       Before turning to the merits of Plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction, the Court

must briefly address a few jurisdictional matters. Both BCRA and FECA offer special review


the current record, even assuming it were proper for

the Court to consider evidence relating to the recognizability of Brown’s voice.

       The FEC’s back-up argument gets it no further. The alterative ads refer to “Leigh Brown

& Associates,” the business, not to “Leigh Brown” the person. See Pls.’ Mot. at 5–6. In fact, the

FEC’s characterization of its own argument aptly demonstrates why it fails. The FEC argues that

the alternative ads “twice reference[] her firm which includes her name,” Def.’s Opp’n at 37,

and “refer to the company which includes the candidate’s name,” Def.’s Opp’n at 38 (emphasis

  The FEC does not argue that the alternative ads refer to Brown by operation of 52 U.S.C.
§ 30101(18)(a). That provision of the BCRA provides that one of the ways a candidate is
“clearly identified” is if “the name of the candidate involved appears” in the communication.
But there is no need to determine if a candidate is “clearly identified” if the communication does
not “refer[] to” a candidate in the first place. 52 U.S.C. § 30104(f)(3)(A)(i)(I). And for the
reasons explained above, Brown’s alternative ads refer to her business, and not to her.

       The FEC argues that Brown’s ads fall within the safe harbor to the coordinated

rather than the purpose of the ad, that justified the burden of disclosure. Id. at 190–91; see also

monoxide gaseous pollutants by catalyzing the oxidation of these pollutants to carbon dioxide and water. Such catalysts have been generally contained in units called diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC), or more simply catalytic converters, which are placed in the exhaust flow path from a diesel-powered engine to treat the exhaust before it vents to the atmosphere. Typically, the diesel oxidation catalysts are formed on ceramic or metallic substrate carriers (such as the flow-through monolith carrier, as described below) upon which one or more catalyst coating compositions are deposited. In addition to the conversion of gaseous HC, CO and the SOF fraction of particulate matter, oxidation catalysts that contain platinum group metals (which are typically dispersed on a refractory oxide support) promote the oxidation of nitric oxide (NO) to NO2.
Catalystsuse in treating exhaust gas emissions from diesel engines. Platinum (Pt) remains the most effective platinum group metal for oxidizing CO and HC in a DOC, after high temperature aging under lean conditions and in the presence of fuel sulfur. Nevertheless, Pd-incorporated catalysts offer advantages in stabilizing Pt at higher temperature aging (>700° C.) and lowering catalyst cost. However, Pd based DOCs typically show higher light-off temperatures for oxidation of CO and HC, especially when used with HC storage materials, potentially causing a delay in HC and or CO light-off. Pd containing DOCs may poison the activity of Pt to convert paraffins and/or oxidize NO and may also make the catalyst more susceptible to sulfur poisoning. These characteristics have typically prevented the use of Pd as an oxidation


ads, like you do. You don’t even have to experience your own work! But you know most people can’t afford that. And you’ve got to have an implant these days to be competitive. Like they say, wired or fired.”

Simon frowned inwardly. He’d come to lunch hoping for foreplay, not debate club. Nothing had changed since college. Time to redirect this.

“Look,” he said. “I just do my job the best I can, okay? Come on, let’s order something. I’m starving.”

Simon pulled up his menu to cut off this line of conversation. He moved just fast enough that for a split second he saw the listed entrees still morphing, optimizing their order and presentation to maximize the profit potential afforded by the mood his posture and tone of voice indicated.

Thenfuming. She couldn’t believe he’d tried that crap on her. If she’d had any shred of doubt remaining, he’d eliminated it. No. He deserved what was coming.

Steph straightened herself, put out a mental bid for a taxi, rode it to Brooklyn, and stepped up to the door of the rented one-room flat. She knocked—short, short, long, long, short. She heard motion inside the room, then saw an eye press itself to the other side of the ancient peephole.

They knew too well that electronic systems could be compromised.

The door opened a fraction, the chain still on it, and Lisa’s face appeared. The short-haired brunette nodded, then unlatched the chain, opened the door fully.

Steph walked into the room, closed the door behind her, saw Lisa tucking the home-printed pistol back

It was evening before IT called back. They’d managed to reboot the AIs. A worm had taken them out somehow, had spread new code to all the Pura Vita bottles through the market intelligence update channel. And then it had disabled the remote update feature on the bottles. To fix those units, they needed to reach each one, physically. Almost a billion bottles. That would take whole days!

It was a disaster. And there was worse.

NutriYum had sealed up the market, had closed six-month deals with tens of thousands of retailers. Their channel was gone, eviscerated.

And with it Simon’s life.

The credit notice came soon after. His options were worthless now. His most important asset was gone. And with it so was the line ofthirst. It saw the desert of his mouth, the parched landscape of his throat, and it whispered to him of sweet relief, of an endless cool stream to quench that thirst.

Simon stumbled forward another step. His fingers closed around a bottle of cold, perfect, NutriYum. Beads of condensation broke refreshingly against his fingers.

Drink me, the bottle whispered to him. And I’ll make all your cares go away.

The dry earth of his throat threatened to crack. His sinuses were a ruin of flame. He shouldn’t do this. He couldn’t do this.

Simon brought his other hand to the bottle, twisted off the cap, and tipped it back, letting the sweet cold water quench the horrid cracking heat within him.

Pure bliss washed through him, bliss like he’d never known. This was
