and mechanical forces of the type produced in a cotton candy machine. The apparatus is operated at the temperature and speed which permit flash-flow of the feedstock without significant deterioration of ingredients. The resulting matrix may be in the form of a floss, fiber, particle, flake, spicule or any other generally nondescript amorphous aggregate.
Internal flow of material is generally associated with melting point or glass transition point. However, it is contemplated that the combined application of heat and external force is sufficient to produce the flow at temperatures below the melting or glass transition point for most compositions.
It is only when the unique combination of selected feedstock and appropriate conditions are applied thereto that the unique matrix material can be produced in accordance with the present invention. Elementsin the form of a particle, flake, spicule, or other generally nondescript aggregate capable of subsequent processing in accordance with generally accepted techniques.
Furthermore, the feedstock material usable in the present invention is capable of being processed with additional component(s) which are incorporated in the desired product but do not distract from its appearance or utility. Thus, the maltodextrin solids and the additive contained in the solids can be altered with respect to various characteristics, including dispersability and mixability, in, or with, various media. In some aspects, the products of the present invention can be used in lieu of freeze-dried materials.
The nature and amount of other component or components used with the maltodextrins will vary the properties of the mixture from the standpoint of spinning. The addition of water


a very high-energy process to provide a low-fat product. The present invention reduces the amount of energy required to obtain a de-fatted nut product and is, therefore, a significant improvement over the Wong et al ""027 method. Moreover, the present invention can be used to further improve a nut product by using the nut product of Wong et al as the nut constituent in the feedstock which is subjected to flash flow. The resulting matrix will be a nicely-bulked, high-intensity flavor, very low-fat nut product.
Optionally, nut matrix (e.g., flakes) may be combined with water or other liquid media to xe2x80x9creconstitutexe2x80x9d the nut matrix to a paste form having a consistency similar to that of the original nut butter. Such xe2x80x9creconstitutedxe2x80x9d pastes possess several advantages, among them that thepowder, onion oil, or a combination thereof can be used. The catsup adjuvants are desirably combined with the tomato component, and the ingredients are combined into a homogeneous mixture. The catsup component is combined with the maltodextrin feedstock and then melt-spun. The resulting solid material recovered from the melt-spinning is, in effect, a dry stabilized tomato catsup product. It is readily used by combining it with meat, poultry, salad ingredients, vegetables and the like to provide a catsup flavor. It can be used in prepackaged, ready-to-use foods, or it can be used as a condiment on salad and the like, as set forth herein.
Another esculent material readily prepared according to the present invention is a mayonnaise-like product which uses much less amounts of oil than conventional products. The


In general, the oleaginous component should comprise from about ten to about 40 percent of the melt-spun material.
The mayonnaise-like product is prepared by beating egg yolks and adding the saccharide-based product resulting from the maltodextrin solids with the oleaginous component. This mixture is then flavored with salt, mustard, vinegar, citrus juice, and the like. In addition to the foregoing flavor constituents, other conventional ingestibly-acceptable ingredients can be used, including vehicles such as water and preservatives and/or antioxidants such as calcium disodium ethylene diamine tetracetic acid and butylated hydroxy-anisole and the like. The result is a very appetizing mayonnaise-like food which can be used in all instances where mayonnaise or salad dressing is used. The advantage of this product is its lower fat content.
It will be appreciated by thosein the matrix results from the flash-flow process. Preferably, the oils are present in amounts of about 0.5 percent to about 20 percent by weight of the delivery system and most preferably about 2 percent to about 12 percent.
The present invention is used to particular advantage with oleoresins. Oleoresins now form an important source of flavoring in a wide spectrum of food products because they are free from many of the inherent disadvantages of ground spices. In particular, they are hygienic and can be standardized for flavor quality and strength to within acceptable limits by blending of the essential oil and resinous fractions. Unlike the essential oils, these extracted products contain any natural antioxidants which may be present in the original spice, a valuable attribute when they are


temperatures used for the flash flow technique permit the use of heat sensitive sweeteners such as aspartame in the matrix product. Similarly, many other types of heat-sensitive ingredients, both comestible and pharmaceutical, can likewise be used without degradation during processing.
The matrix compositions of the super sweeteners are also advantageous in baking as compared to the use of the artificial sweeteners alone. This may result from the matrix compositions more closely mimicking sucrose during the baking process, the corn syrup solids provide the bulk and other properties associated with sucrose. Also, the bulking character of the carrier can be taken advantage of to produce matrix sweetener products which are equivalent, on a spoon-for-spoon basis, with sucrose.
Optionally, the super sweeteners in a matrix composition can be incorporated with oils tohas a huge impact on your portfolio’s ability to support your retirement.

John Lackey stands up for himself

From today’s Shaughnessy:

Is he willing to acknowledge that mistakes were made? “I guess. Sure. They’re being made in every clubhouse in the big leagues, then. If we’d have made the playoffs, we’d have been a bunch of fun guys.’’

He’s right! We think we’re judging people’s behavior, but when we judge in retrospect, we approve and disapprove of the same behaviors, depending on the outcome. See Phil Rosenzweig’s The Halo Effect for the same phenomenon described at book length. A firm’s behavior will invariably be described as “daring” and “bold” when the company is doing well. When the company’s fortunes turn sour, the same set of decisions are retrospectively reclassified as “reckless” and “foolhardy.”God’s willingness to be merciful. We all sin (Rom. 3:23). The consequence of our sin is spiritual death (Rom. 6:23). Yet God is continually ready to forgive, as long as we are ready to repent (Prov. 28:13). He did not place a limit on how many sins He would forgive before we used up all of His mercy. We need to be ready to extend that much mercy! But while God’s mercy is everlasting, the time that we have to fall upon His mercy is limited by our time on this earth. We live but a few years in this world. The scriptures seem clear that our time to repent and take advantage of God’s mercy ends when our days on this earth end. The time for humanity


in the courts where the bankrupt, whose estate is being administered by such trustee, might have brought or prosecuted them if proceedings in bankruptcy had not been instituted, unless by consent of the proposed defendant." 30 Stat. 552.
That argument was rejected by the Court on the ground the proceedings under review were not a "suit" within the meaning of the quoted provision. 182 U. S., at 455-456. We apply that reasoning in our opinion today and hold that determination of objections to claims, whether or not affirmative relief is decreed, does not constitute adjudication of a suit by the trustee, and thus it is not necessary to ascertain whether the creditor has "consented" to such determination within the meaning of § 23b. Rather, our decision is governed bywould return. Apparently, they returned in some large capacity, but some people aren’t convinced, noting that fish yields vary pretty dramatically year-over-year. The whole thing was fairly controversial, and involved this dude named Russ George, who used to run a company called Planktos, Inc. That company claims to “restore ecosystems and slow climate change.” Cool. Problem is, his previous attempts at “ocean fertilization” — what he did in Canada, basically — were near the Galapagos and Canary Islands, and got his ships barred from there by the Spanish and Ecuadorian governments. Someone should write a NCIS spec script about my man Mr. George. Some believe what George does is illegal; others don’t. At issue seems to be base violation of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, as


important thing is to find the legit ones, and parse out the partisan, agenda-driven ones. It seems like the science is unclear, the research could be more developed, but the rules are there, and individuals/groups taking control of beautiful stretches of the ocean themselves isn’t exactly the best next step. But at another, albeit smaller, level, I do applaud George for taking some kind of initiative. He got me to write this post and learn a bit more about the issue; I don’t agree with what he’s doing (especially in one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems), but at the same time, it’s better than not paying attention at all… right?

Known timing devices utilize an arrangement whereby the transmitter is placed on one side of the timing structure and the receiver is placed on the other side of the timing structure to capture the light as it passes through the disk. This arrangement has been known to cause a number of problems, including: a requirement for a complex electro-mechanical apparatus, increased mechanical stress caused by oscillating loads, a larger footprint size for the timing device, and dirt forming on the timing structure, thereby preventing light from passing efficiently through the structure.


track from the album. The theme has become popular among fans, and has inspired various arrangements. Other notable tracks include "Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII". Themes from this track play during several other tunes from the soundtrack, such as "Words Drowned by Fireworks", to tie the soundtrack together.

The regular edition of the album reached #3 on the Japan Oricon charts, while the limited edition reached #19. Overall, the album sold 148,000 copies as of January 2010, with the limited edition selling a further 21,000. The album was well received by critics.  Allmusic awarded Uematsu's original soundtrack a five-star rating. Ben Schweitzer of RPGFan claimed that "for the most part, it's a diamond", with his primary complaint being the quality of the MIDI sound. He found theThe continuing proliferation of powerful and convenient computational devices, such as personal computers, personal digital assistants, cellular telephones, etc., has been accompanied by a growth in the use of networks to connect these devices. Further, developments in network technology are increasing the ways computer users interact and communicate with one another. For example, electronic mail may currently be sent to some wireless telephones rather than, or in addition to, a personal computer. In addition to personal computers, cellular phones and personal digital assistants may be used to access the Internet. The interaction between networked computational devices often involves the transfer of directories and files (“items”) between remote locations. Access to data located on remote computers permits users to easily modify items using any computer on a network. This

The Czech government has just passed a vote to legalise same-sex marriage.

A group of 46 lawmakers across the floor drafted the marriage bill that will grant Czech same-sex couples the right to marry on Friday.,

“Just few minutes ago the Czech government agreed with a parliamentary bill allowing Czech same-sex couples to marry!” wrote same-sex marriage campaigner Czeslaw Walek in delight on Twitter.

“Huge step forward! It’s time for freedom to marry in Czechia! #jsmefer”

“Czech government decided today to support an equal marriage bill. The document will be discussed by the Parliament now. This is a great news for #LGBT in the Czech Republic!” wrote Prague Pride on their Twitter page in celebration.

The Czech Republic has been allowing gay and lesbian couples to enter registered partnerships since 2006.

being a pure dipole.

This result suggests that the origin of the non-dipole configuration in the latest minimum is due to the combination of phase and amplitude differences in solar activity between North and South in Cycle 23. The cause of such phase and amplitude differences between hemispheres in terms of differences in dynamo ingredients is currently an active area of investigation. One probable possibility is that there are differences between North and South in meridional circulation amplitude, which can lead to both cycle amplitude differences and particularly cycle phase differences between North and South (see, *e.g.* Belucz and Dikpati [@CR3]). Both of these differences break the antisymmetry of poloidal fields about the Equator, necessarily implying a significant amplitude in the quadrupolar component.

These results suggest that if the Northwhite-light coronal observations much more closely spaced in time, which do exist in the archives of MLSO for the past several solar cycles.

Light shutters prepared from PLZT or like material having an electrooptical effect are driven usually by the arrangement shown in FIG. 1. The illustrated light shutter 1 has electrodes 2 and 3 at its opposite sides. With the electrode 2 grounded, a pulse voltage of suitable intensity is applied to the other electrode 3 as a drive voltage Vd1, whereby light incident on the light shutter 1 through a polarizer 4 is polarized within the shutter 1 to pass through an analyzer 5. The light is modulated depending on whether the drive voltage Vd1 is thus applied to the shutter 1.

Study of the dog population and the rabies control activities in the Mirigama area of Sri Lanka.
The national health authorities of Sri Lanka have adopted a combined strategy of rabies vaccination and stray dog removal to control endemic dog rabies. Despite the control efforts, an increase of animal and human rabies cases has occurred since 1994. As a consequence, a project to evaluate the national rabies control program has been started and a study focussing on the dog population and rabies control activities in a limited area of Mirigama was conducted. Information on canine abundance and the accessibility of dogs for rabies vaccination was obtained by a household survey, vaccination of dogs against rabies at several vaccination points, collar-marking, and transect line recapture. The number of unvaccinated dogstechno. Compositionally, it’s light and airy; the song’s crunchy, cavernous drums echo and expand into the ear, there’s another vocal loop (“thousand”—or something like that—over and over) that squirms its way between the gaps, and that’s about it. It’s something of a downer to put such a fun, uncomplicated song on the slab in this way, but the beauty of “Submit X” lies in its simplicity and thrown-together appeal. This is Ratsnake playing around, maybe even taking the piss. Whatever the case, it’s a killer record—and the results always raise a smile. Ray Philp

Axel Boman are established producers and DJs in their own right, but when it was announced that the pair would be joining forces for the cheekily named Talaboman project, many thought the two were just having a laugh. “Sideral”—which translates to “stellar” in English—showed this wasn’t the case. First appearing on Talabot’s excellent DJ-Kicks mix from last year, Talaboman’s debut single sends tribal percussion through a cosmic prism, layering on rich sub-bass, refractive textures, and swelling synth lines that constantly threaten to overflow the entire composition. At turns psychedelic and ancient, the hybrid house cut showcases both artists’ strengths while allowing plenty of breathing room for playful improvisation. Chris Kokiousis

13. Pender Street Steppers “Openin’ Up” (PPU)

Taken from the first of two EPs that Vancouver duo Pender Street Stepperscould from EP1 and EP2, to say that the arrival of LP1 carried the burden of high expectations on its back would be something of an understatement. And yet with its release came the confirmation that FKA Twigs was still capable of delivering something special. A particular highlight of the record arrived in the form of the overtly sexual “Two Weeks,” a song about tempting a man away from an unfulfilling relationship with promises of better treatment and, well, a good fucking. Muffled, twisted backing vocals loop as swirling synths and echoing drum pads meet quietly confident lyrics full of hushed assurances that things will be better soon. Whether or not the song’s intended target takes Twigs up on her offer, this song has got the rest of

Electro-infused techno had a good year in 2014, and shadowy producer Gesloten Cirkel is one of the biggest reasons why. We use the word “big” not only because the Submit X LP landed with such a resounding boom when it dropped this past summer, but because the music that record carried was itself oversized and formidable. “Arrested Development” is one such cut of stomping, razor-sharp electronics that tests the limits of what classic electronic genres can do in a contemporary production. Aside from blending rugged acid, electro, and techno with an effortless panache, Gesloten Cirkel wields a heavy-metal guitar on the song, and somehow makes the searing tone and timbre sound as natural as any synth might. Every idea that went into “Arrested Development” was simply too biglasted till the 3rd round, you'd have to surround this kid with an insane amount of talent to compete for division and conference titles with him.

In the D/A conversion circuit 1, an analog switch formed by a MOS transistor is used as each of the switches SW0 to SW15. When switching the switches SW0 to SW15 in accordance with the input signal, it is necessary to stabilize (converge) fluctuations in the output voltage associated with the switching by supplying charge to parasitic capacitors C0 to C15 of the switches SW0 to SW15 from the resistor string (the connection nodes of the resistor elements).
Since all of the switches SW0 to SW15 are connected to


and a second switch SW22 is connected between the resistor elements R23 and R24 for transferring the reference potential V3. The outputs of the switch SW21 and SW22 are connected to each other, and the connection nodes thereof are connected to the comparator CMP2 through the third switch SW23, while being connected to the comparator CMP3 through the fourth switch SW24. The connection nodes of the switches SW21 to SW24 are connected to the low-potential power supply VRL through a capacitor C20. The output terminal of the comparator CMP2 is connected to a fifth switch SW25, while the output terminal of the comparator CMP3 is connected to a sixth switch SW26. The comparator CMP1 retrieves an input voltage VIN to compare the input voltage VIN with the referencecell injury (*P* \< 0.05).

According to Mansour, Lebanon always had a clear position of disassociation from the Syrian conflict but matters have changed since the conflict has spilled over the borders.

“These extremist groups in Syria have sought to hit the nerve of the historical heritage between Syrian citizens and Lebanese people in mixed areas in the city of Qusayr and countryside villages adjacent to Lebanon,” he added.

“We have repeatedly said that the fire of the Syrian war will extend its flames to all of us hence, today my country is suffering, especially at a time where the flow of hundreds of thousands of Syrian displaced brothers have increased to over a million,” Mansour said.

Friday, September 27, 2013

Yeaaah went to Vietnam last week for holiday with my friend, we visited the capital city (Hanoi) and the famous Halong Bay. Actually there're more places that you can visit if you go to Vietnam, but not enough time for us to explore all. So before coming to Hanoi, I thought this city will be quite similar to Jakarta, which is not really modern but not that old either. Yeah I'm not completely wrong, it's similar but just 20 years behind haha. I rarely saw office building or shopping mall, but you can find a lot of historical place there.

Hanoi also known as city of lake. this is view from my hotel

After that we continue our trip to Halong Bay, about 4 hourscategorical variables and nonparametric Mann--Whitney *U* test or unpaired *t* tests for continuous variables, as appropriate.

Multivariate analysis by linear regression was performed to evaluate the influence of the two treatment groups, as well as a list of predefined covariables, on total antibiotic exposure days. Because of the nonrandomized nature of this study, there could be baseline imbalances between the two study groups. The probability that a patient has been allocated to the PCT group was assessed with multivariate analysis, including the factors that might inﬂuence the treating physicians' decision to join the PCT group, including age and sex, and the factors that might affect the outcome of treatment of VAP, including: duration of intubation before VAP (⩽14 days or \>14 days), previous antibiotic treatment within 14 days of

treatment, to guide discontinuation of antibiotic therapy in VAP. It is only possible to reduce duration of antibiotic therapy if clinicians have confidence that it is a safe and effective practice and if they have a protocolized approach for how to do it.

The present study has some limitations that should be mentioned when interpreting the results of this study. First, it was a nonrandomized study. Currently, as shown in the results of this study, most of the physicians in the authors' country treated VAP caused by NF- GNB for 14 days. Therefore, it is difficult to enroll the patients into the PCT group, as 8 days was perceived to be too short for this group of patients. If a randomized study was performed, the problem of nonadherence tothe protocol would definitely occur. The treating physicians who decided to join the PCT group were those who had knowledge and confidence in PCT. We used multivariate analysis and a propensity score analysis to support that the selection bias and confounding bias was minimized. Propensity score analysis has been widely adopted when making causal inferences in nonrandomized experimental trials. In addition, multivariate analysis confirmed that being allocated to the PCT group was the strongest predictor of fewer total antibiotic exposure days. Second, it was a small, single-center study, to ensure that shortening duration of treatment of VAP caused by NF-GNB, guided by CPIS and serum PCT was possible without relapse. However, other important outcomes that require a large number of patients in a study, such as mortality, could

G2/M phase arrest increased, which was revealed by cell cycle analysis, in both cancer cells. However, the human HFW fibroblasts were not affected by cordycepin treatment. Two previous studies also focused on cordycepin in head and neck cancer \[[@B27-molecules-22-00629],[@B28-molecules-22-00629]\]. These studies also revealed that cordycepin possessed apoptotic effect and arrested cell cycle at G2/M phase. Another study suggested that the underlying mechanisms may be related to c-Jun N-terminal kinase activation and associated p21WAF1 expression \[[@B24-molecules-22-00629]\]. In several studies, cordycepin could slow the migration or invasion ability in various cancer types, mainly through the inhibition of metalloproteinase \[[@B25-molecules-22-00629],[@B29-molecules-22-00629]\].

This resistance is related to the difference between the magnetization directions of the two ferromagnetic layers. By measuring the change in resistance (for example, by measuring the current flow) the TMR sensor can read the flux from magnetic bits stored on the magnetic medium.
One of the problems manufacturers have faced in the formation of TMR sensors is the occurrence of defects such as pinholes in the tunnel barrier layer. These defects create small electrical connections, or ohmic shunts, through the tunnel barrier that allow electrons to flow through the tunnel barrier without tunneling. This ohmic electron flow through the pinholes is not related to


the external magnetic field from the magnetic medium. Because of this, the defects decrease the signal to noise ratio, reduce the sensitivity of the TMR sensor, and change the resistance of the tunnel barrier.
Another problem that manufacturers have faced is that of thermal instability. TMR sensors experience changes in temperature during normal operation due to current flow through the TMR sensor, as well as external heat sources that warm the surrounding material. Some materials do not have good thermal stability, which results in an unwanted temperature dependence of the properties of the TMR sensor. One of these properties is the resistance of the material. It is desirable that the resistance of the barrier layer remain constant. However, some materials with poor thermal stability experience an undesirable degradation inprimer pairs (and underlying mRNA levels) fell into 3 different clusters. Note that both the overall levels and the pattern of transcription influence cluster membership. The ordering within any cluster was not significant. Whereas the samples could be divided into two subtypes, a and b, the various KSHV mRNAs, as measured by real-time qPCR primer pairs, could be divided into multiple classes or clusters, labeled i, ii, and iii. Members of cluster i were highly expressed in many samples. Members of cluster ii were expressed at high levels in only a few samples. Members of cluster iii were expressed at low levels in only a few samples. KSHV mRNA classes are further analyzed using more accurate methods detailed below. In sum, on the basis of unsupervised hierarchical clustering,


In addition to providing primary care and general ART services for 20,000 ART clients according to Malawi ART guidelines, the LH provides specialized services for referred cases, including combination chemotherapy for KS, evaluation of severe toxicities and ART treatment failure, and modification of ART for second line and nonstandard regimens. All services at LH are provided for free.

A cross-sectional study was designed. All adult (age ≥ 18 years) KS patients presenting to the LH clinic between November 2008 and August 2010 were evaluated for potential enrollment. Patients with prior chemotherapy or antiretroviral therapy use were excluded, as were individuals with disease limited to the oral cavity (due to an inability to safely biopsy such lesions in the clinical setting).

I was scared that there might be a rope climb in the '11 Games, or if I would be nervous or worried if there was one. I kept saying, "Nope, it's not going to be a problem." I knew, however, that nothing I could say would stop the questions. I would need to _show_ that the rope wouldn't be a problem.

Because of the full year's worth of rope-related questions, I was hoping Dave Castro would make the rope climb part of these Games so I could once and for all, on CrossFit's biggest stage, shut down all that talk. I didn't want to just prove I could climb the rope, though; I wanted to win an event that included the rope climb. The fact that the rope climbto the pathogen until they return to the susceptible class with rate *ρ*. The free-living pathogen grows with rate *r* ~*p*~ and is limited by density dependent mortality rate *μ*. In addition pathogens are continuously shed from infected hosts with rate *λ* and released with host deaths with burst size *k*.

The infectivity functional response *f*(*P*) is assumed to be a sigmoidal function of the pathogen density: $$f\left( P \right) = \frac{\left( \frac{P}{\left( 1 + \theta_{2} \right){ID}_{50}} \right)^{\kappa}}{1 + \left( \frac{P}{\left( 1 + \theta_{2} \right){ID}_{50}} \right)^{\kappa}}$$

The sigmoidal shape of the infectivity response imposes an Allee effect on the pathogens: with densities under the infective dose *ID* ~50~, the pathogens are less likely to cause infections. This is a realistic assumption for environmental pathogen---host infection process since it takes into


immunity ([Fig 2](#pone.0145511.g002){ref-type="fig"}). The latter effect is due to two factors: the resistant individuals return to the susceptible class more rapidly, which fuels the build-up of the next outbreak, and the recovered individuals can be re-infected within the same outbreak. This leads to a longer duration of outbreaks, which is associated with increased severity and decreased frequency. Increasing noise variance also shows clearly that the distribution of outbreak severities is bimodal. This is due to the distribution of favourable periods to the pathogen. When the environmental variation produces a long favourable period, this always results in a severe outbreak that consumes the mass of healthy hosts and eventually subsides. However, shorter favourable periods occur more often, leading to a large number of less severe outbreaks.

Temporal colour of stochastic environmental variation was set to *γ* = --1, i.e. pink noise. The environmental variance directed to pathogen growth rate was set to *A* ~1~ = 0.09. Line and dot colours red, black, and blue show results on rapid, intermediate, and long immunity loss rates, respectively. Each dot is a result of an individual stochastic simulation, while the lines present results from simulations with periodic forcing.

Discussion {#sec007}
==========

The central role of environmental variation in many ecological and epidemiological phenomena has been well recognised \[[@pone.0145511.ref018],[@pone.0145511.ref030],[@pone.0145511.ref033],[@pone.0145511.ref034]\]. However, less attention has been paid to the role of the quality of


environmental fluctuations in modifying epidemiological dynamics \[[@pone.0145511.ref016],[@pone.0145511.ref035]\]: existing work has assumed overly simplistic periodic variation (but see \[[@pone.0145511.ref036]\]). To our knowledge, there are only few epidemiological studies that would acknowledge the potential importance of stochastic environmental fluctuations \[[@pone.0145511.ref021]\]. Here, we studied the role of such fluctuations in environmental opportunist pathogen outbreaks. These pathogens are naturally heavily influenced by environmental conditions since they depend on the free-living state for considerable duration between re-infecting hosts. Here we show that environmental variation is an important driver in epidemiological dynamics. Outbreaks can arise, given that the environmental amplitude is sufficiently high to cross the infective threshold and that fluctuations have a sufficiently low characteristic frequency, so that it is not averaged out by the system. An important feature is that reducing theunity where the team was better than the sum of its players. He was meticulous, well prepared and very demanding, but he knew how to win.

mixes the char with air to form a combustible mixture that is ignited. The combustion of the char produces additional ash and flue gases. The heat of combustion raises the temperature of the ash to a sufficient temperature for recycling the ash as a heat source in carrying on the flash pyrolysis reaction. At the same time the char is decarbonized to form a flue gas of principally oxides of carbon.
One of the problems in burning the char is to maintain the temperature of the exothermic reaction within certain limits. The ash must be heated sufficiently to carry on the pyrolysis reaction, but must not be heated to a temperature in which the ash becomes molten. It is essential that the ash particles remain in a finely dividedthe movies.

As if to provide an exclamation point for these thoughts, here comes Ryan Coogler's _Black Panther_ (2018). The popular and critical enthusiasm for this film's liberating effects was, for the purposes of independent thought, almost suffocating, and that in spite of the fact that so much of the film was an orgy of political guilty pleasures provided by the Hollywood aesthetic which says "violence is good as long as it's virtuosic"; by the glorification of technology, especially military technology (the James Bond allusions are unsubtle); and by the uncritical endorsement of problem-solving billionaire philanthropists (King T'Challa buys up and rehabs buildings in Oakland in the film's final scene).

The elevation of billionaires as liberators is the guiltiest of the film's guilty pleasures. The movie offers the

Free-market orthodoxy was given new vigor. An old stupidity in new garb had arrived: trickle down! Once again, the upper half of the country could reckon that someone might have to suffer for stupidity, but probably not them. Someone might have to suffer for military adventurism, but probably not them. Someone might have to suffer from the next stock bubble, but probably not them. Someone might have to suffer from environmental destruction, but probably not them, so they placed their bet on the system. Once again they had fair prospects of being able to join their families andpairs of socks, she thought, although she knew that some of these were what she called _divorced socks_ , no longer being a pair. Somewhere, in a vast, cosmic washtub, were those things that disappeared in washing machines, unclaimed, forgotten about, a Bermuda Triangle for men's socks.

Charlie, by contrast, was very specific about his needs. He was coming up to a birthday and had recited a long list of wants. "I want a car," he intoned. "A car with a battery and a light. And I want a fire engine and a new train with some carriages. And I want a helicopter and a plane and a garage. And I want some chocolates and a torch and a fishing rod and..."

It measures resting heart rate, skin temperature, heart rate variability, sleep, breathing rate, movement, perfusion, bioimpedance (the resistance of body tissue to tiny electric voltages), and heat loss. Owen Davis, a doctor and professor of obstetrics and gynecology and reproductive medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, told The Verge that beyond temperature readings, the other measures aren’t universally agreed upon as accurate indicators of ovulation. But with that being said, he also noted that it’s possible Ava’s algorithm can accurately determine when a woman can conceive.

The study hasn’t been peer-reviewed or published yet, although Ava’s makers hope to have theand Ms. Harris. He led Ms. Warren by a 42% to 41% margin, and Ms. Harris by a 41% to 40% margin.

A majority of overall voters — 52% — said they approve of how Mr. Trump is handling the economy. But his overall approval rating was 46%, with 51% disapproving.

“When the economy is good, incumbents typically have the wind at their back,” said Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson. “The president has an obvious target group — the 10 percent who approve of his handling of the economy, but aren’t voting for him.”

charges. Now, "it's been more than a year and they still refuse to clear my name,” Fox said. He said that he lost 20% of his clients when word of his arrest spread through Facebook and other social networks.

Last summer, Fox hired lawyers who said they contacted Grosse Pointe Woods Detective Ryan Schroerlucke, suggesting that facial-recognition software possessed by the Michigan State Police be used to confirm that Fox did not commit the bank robbery. Grosse Pointe Woods declined to do so, the lawyers said.

The Grosse Pointe Woods director of public safety referred a reporter's calls to a lawyer in Troy, Gus Morris, who specializes in defending police departments in court.

Defending police is a busy field for lawyers, especially in today's era of numerous videos that capture controversiallaw-enforcement tactics, Morris said.

In Fox’s arrest, Detroit Thrive’s surveillance video clearly shows a SWAT team in riot gear, marching into the fitness studio with a German shepherd police dog, which upon reaching the gym owner did what dogs can do. It bit him in the leg, a minor injury, Fox said.

That video is evidence that Fox’s lawyers could use in his lawsuit against the Grosse Pointe Woods police and Public Safety Director John Kosanke. Fox’s lawsuit demands cash compensation for five counts: assault, for the arrest; battery, for the dog bite; false imprisonment, for the two days in jail; defamation of Fox’s character — first labeling him a suspect, then continuing ever since to call him a "person of interest"; and finally, false light — a legal term


for causing serious damage to someone's reputation.

A crime that hasn't been solved

For each count, Fox's lawsuit asks for "a judgment in excess of $25,000" plus court costs and attorney fees.

Morris, who was retained by Grosse Pointe Woods to negotiate with Fox's lawyers in recent weeks, and who now is expected to defend the city in court, said he's unsure what would satisfy the other side.

"I sat in his attorneys' office for two hours and they never did get around to specifying a dollar amount" to settle Fox's grievances, so "I really don't know what they want," Morris said.

But why won't the suburb clear Fox's name? Why keep calling him a "person of interest"?

"This is a crime that hasn't been solved," Morris said. "There's certainly no evidence now tofor an application router like `conf/my.application.Router`,

from a player. Morris was always the No. 1 pick.

• Finally, game time. This was often the best part of Morris' day. He was an easy pick for Brewers Minor League Player of the Year.

• Postgame. Before he showered and tied up the day's loose ends, Morris would bid Tripp and wife Macie goodnight -- if Tripp wasn't busy with something else. He became an unofficial team mascot, so popular the Stars featured him on a bobblehead doll with Dad.

Sleep, and repeat.

Another day in the life of The Mayor. The "real" Mayor took note.

"He was much more involved than we've seen in the past from other players," Battle said. "Maybe it was because he knew the people, because he was from here. But you knew he was goingJoe Davis Stadium, vs. .280 and .504 on the road.

"I found that to be pretty phenomenal," Cohen said. "I'm sure there were times he was happy to get out on the road for a while to sort of get away from it all. But if that was the case, he didn't show it. His play didn't suffer. His attitude didn't suffer."

Scooter Gennett, who played next to Morris at second base, knows the challenge of playing in front of friends and family.

Gennett's family moved to Sarasota, Fla., when he was 10 years old and he visited neighboring Bradenton in 2011 while playing for the Brewers' Florida State League affiliate. Gennett had three singles in 17 at-bats during a four-game series -- and finished the year with a .300 average.

"It


was my first time playing in front of everyone at the same time," Gennett said. "I don't think I put together any good at-bats. I was trying to do too much. I had to learn from it. What Hunter did over a full season was pretty incredible."

Brewers fans could soon get a closer look at Hunter Morris in Milwaukee. (AP)

Morris passed his 2012 test with flying colors. Now, he is trying to get going at the plate in his first big league camp, either headed for a calmer season at Triple-A Nashville or maybe a trip to Milwaukee. The Brewers have uncertainty at first base while Hart recovers from knee surgery, and Morris -- ranked No. 5 among the team's top prospects.-- is one option.

The role of two CpG dinucleotides in the BRLF1 binding sites of the divergent promoter was determined by site-directed mutagenesis. The results indicated that site-specific methylation of these CpGs was not solely responsible for inhibition of expression by methylation. DNA methylation also reduced DNA replication mediated by oriLyt. These results suggest that hypermethylation of the divergent promoter and oriLyt may suppress transcription and lytic replication of EBV.

While Donnie's intense football devotion shown through Sunday, he was more than an avid Lions fan; he was a business owner and a generous family man. He had three children with his wife, JoAnne, and four grandchildren who he adored.

"He was the best of us, and to have a guy like that be taken from us so quickly is devastating," said Hans Steiniger, founder of the Tailgating Hall of Fame. "He was about building relationships, so he would drive all this way to support his team, but not just that.make it to Donnie's funeral because he was in the hospital, Sunday's tailgate was closure, a moment to remember a friend.

"Donnie's wit was ridiculous," Mullins said. "He was so funny. He had the driest sense of humor and real slow delivery, but what a character. It still doesn't seem real."

Mullins, who met Donnie a little more than 10 years ago through Crachiola, is a Lions legend in his own right. Every year, Mullins and his daughter Mandie dress as pilgrims for the Lions' Thanksgiving Day game; Sunday, Mullins just wore his black pilgrim hat.

The tailgate family Donnie formed meant that when he and Mullins became friends, Mandie and Megan did do. The two were side by side much of Sunday, navigating the tailgate through teary eyes.

of 11 minutes, 51 seconds and depict the different stages through which those scenes went. We see them at their most basic and watch as visual layers add to their complexity. Jerome Chen, David Schaub and David A. Smith add commentary and helps make this an informative view of the processes involved.

Stunt Rehearsals delivers eight clips for a total of 11 minutes, 52 seconds. We see rough video footage that presents the stunt performers as they demonstrate/work out what we would get in the final film. I like this segment, as it’s cool to see the action scenes effects trickery; we can examine how much was done for real.

Finally, a featurette called Developing the Amazing Spider-Man Video Game lasts three minutes, 30 seconds. We hear from studio headcombat; and tons of PC interaction, leading to numerous side-quests in the process.

The revival of the CRPG market in the late 1990s would spawn into multiple genres for both consoles and the PC; we would see an increased number of roguelikes and real-time combat RPGs, the dawn of open-world, sandbox style role-playing games, and even turn-based games in the same vein as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. This was the spark that the Western RPG market needed to avoid poor design and stagnation.

Many of these features above are now often synonymous with Japanese role-playing games, but originally got their start in games like Baldur’s Gate. Other role-playing games developed in the West, such as Anachronox, Shadow Madness, or Septerra Core would faithfully emulate the Final Fantasy series, both


for years these terms have been the basic tool for determining the mechanical tastes of role-playing fans worldwide. You learn more about the basic mechanics and setup of an RPG if you call it an action-RPG over a JPRG, for example, as it tells you what type of game you are really playing, instead of a blanket term that can include mechanics you are not a fan of.

If nothing else, it is food for thought that we live in a time where role-playing games have become one of the most dominant forces in video games. Role-playing games are taking on new designs yearly, adapting and evolving their mechanics beyond their definitive roots from the early 1980s, even challenging players for what qualifies as a role-playing game.

When defining a inner function which utilizes the variables of outer scope, should I pass the variables to the inner function as parameters?

It depends on what you want to achieve.
What you call "a function inside a function" is actually called "a closure" (and some people call it "lambda").
Closures capture variables from the outer lexical scope, referenced in its body. In Go, this

a year earlier, and that can be found today in the Americas, North and South. The actual machinery of the Community is inexplicable without another force.

That, of course, was the federalist vision of a supranational Europe developed above all by Monnet and his circle, the small group of technocrats who conceived the original ECSC, and drafted much of the detail of the EEC. Few modern political figures have remained more elusive than Monnet, as Milward observes in the couple of wary pages he accords him. Since he wrote, however, there has appeared François Duchêne's excellent biography, which brings him into much clearer focus. In an acute and graceful work that does not minimize the anomalies of Monnet's career, Duchêne draws an arresting portrait of the 'Father of Europe'.

Thepremier, along with the president, the speakers of the two Chambers, and the head of the Constitutional Court, as four fig-leaves. Amid widespread uproar, this too was challenged by magistrates in Milan, where the major trials in which he was implicated were underway, and was ruled unconstitutional six months later. But the barrage of _ad personam_ laws, patently the government's most urgent agenda, had immediate, if not yet definitive, effect. No sooner was Berlusconi in office than he was absolved by an appeals court of bribing judges to acquire the Mondadori publishing conglomerate—not for want of evidence, but for 'extenuating circumstances', defined in a memorable précis of Italian justice as 'the prominence of the defendant's current social and individual position, judged by the court to be decisive'.

It will have about 110,000 people in it, about 80,000 to 85,000 with the right to vote. Of these only about 60,000 to 65,000 will actually vote. With the weapon you have with your television stations, by hammering away with propaganda in favour of this or that candidate, all you need is to bring together 25,000 to 30,000 people in order to have a high probability of reversing the projections.

The origins of this situation date back over a century, to the era of High Victorian imperialism. In 1878 the island was acquired by Britain from the Ottoman Empire, as a side-payment for Turkish recovery of three Armenian provinces, ceded to Russia, and restored thanks to Disraeli at the Conference of Berlin. Coveted as a naval platform for British power in the Middle East, the new colony had from antiquity been Greek in population and culture, with a Turkish minority introduced after Ottoman conquest in the sixteenth century. But in the nineteenth century, distant four hundred miles from Greece, it remained relatively unaffected by the national awakening that produced, first, Greek independence itself, then successive risings against Ottoman rule in Crete and its union with


unruly outsiders was too much for the Kemalist establishment, and in 1971 the army intervened again. This time—as invariably henceforward—it was the high command that struck, with an ultimatum ousting Demirel for failure to maintain order, and imposing a technocratic government of the Right. Under martial law, trade-unionists, intellectuals and deputies of the Left were rounded up and tortured, and the liberal provisions of the constitution cancelled. Two years later, the political scene was judged sufficiently purged of subversion for elections to be held again, and for the rest of the seventies Demirel and Ecevit see-sawed in coalition governments in which either Türkes or Erbakan, or both, held casting votes, and populated the ministries under their control.

At the time, the Grey Wolves looked the more formidable of themore ecumenical rhetoric, were enough to treble the party's vote in the south-east in 2007, taking it to the national average. Since then, however, the government has tacked heavily towards the traditional military approach to the region. Soon after its failure to get the scheme it wanted in Cyprus, it was confronted in the summer of 2004 with a revival of PKK guerrilla actions. On a much smaller scale than in the past, and more or less disavowed by Öcalan, these now had the advantage of a more secure hinterland in the de facto autonomy of Iraqi Kurdistan, after the American march to Baghdad.

In time-honoured fashion, the Turkish high command responded by stepping up repression, throwing more tanks and gendarmes into the south-east, and pressing for cross-border attacks


the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923. 'Had the bullet which killed Scheubner-Richter been a foot to the right, history would have taken a different course', Ian Kershaw remarks. Hitler mourned him as 'irreplaceable'. Invading Poland sixteen years later, he would famously tell his commanders—referring to the Poles, but with obvious implications for the Jews—'Who now remembers the Armenians?' The Third Reich did not need the Turkish precedent for its own genocides. But that Hitler was well aware of it, and cited its success to encourage German operations, is beyond question. Whoever has doubted the comparability of the two, it was not the Nazis themselves.

Comparison is not identity. The similarities between the two genocides were striking, far closer than in most historical parallels. But they were not complete, andof apparently antagonistic forces become complementary', in a 'self-generating spiral, reacting back on its constituent elements to drive them and integrate them'.20

So at the origins of European civilization lie three radically diverse traditions, Classical, Jewish, and Christian, and between their legacies there has been permanent conflict ever since. Christianity in turn divided between Greek and Roman confessions. The Middle Ages were rent by the contest between the Empire and the Papacy, followed by the Great Schism. Bourgeois civilization undermined feudalism, the Reformation burst open the Roman Church, the Renaissance severed the links between faith and reason. Dynastic states split Europe into warring alliances, regulated by a balance of powers. Nation-states shattered the balance, bringing Europe to the apogee of its power, then plunging it into the abyss of

I'm certainly open to any solutions you have Kid. Feel free to post what you think would work if you so desire and hopefully I can see it from your point of view better.

I can also imagine a parent would feel pretty guilty if they knew their child was in a direTo the Editor: The unicornuate uterus arises from the anastomotic failure of the paired Mullerian ducts in which simultaneously either of them is underdeveloped or absent, termed the "rudimentary horn". The horn is connected to the unicornuate side by either a minimally connected narrow fibrous band of tissue or a broad, firm muscular attachment; the muscular layer of the horn varies from thick and strong to thin and malformed. The rarest and most severe complication is rudimentary horn pregnancy (RHP), usually results in catastrophic consequences. We refer to 11 RHP cases from Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) since 1980.

This research was approved by the Ethics Committee of PUMCH. We searched medical records from January 01, 1980 to December 31, 2017 and used "rudimentary horn pregnancy", "horn pregnancy",


Western Ontario and Mc Master Universities' Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) for pain, stiffness and function scores, and patient and physician global assessments (0-100 scale). For patient (PGA) and physician global assessments (PhGA), the 0-100 scale was used, with 100 being the worst. Follow-up assessments were made at intervals of 1, 3 and 6 months after the first injection. Local adverse events, such as transient pain at the injection site or warm knee lasting for one night, were recorded in two patients (3%). In all groups, the WOMAC pain score exhibited a significant difference from the baseline value; neither treatment group was significantly different from the placebo group, but total pain score was significantly better than baseline for both of the HA groups at the end of 6 months (pan odd entry in the adventure game genre, since it had very few puzzles and focused almost entirely on player choice and dialogue.

Thankfully, things worked in the game's favor, but that hasn't made the Telltale team less anxious.

Alternatively, if you want to do this for plain Dictionary in .NET, you could add an extension method:
public static void AddOrUpdate<TKey, TValue>(
    this Dictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary,

    TValue addValue,
    Func<TKey, TValue, TValue> updateValueFactory)

    else
    {
        dictionary[key] = addValue;

in nature. A strongly held belief is that predatory journals generally do not provide peer review and, if they do, it is frivolous and/or minimal and does not add to the scientific integrity of article; indeed, this characteristic has been proposed as an important differentiator between presumed predatory journals and legitimate open access journals. Previous research confirms that articles published in predatory journals are of very low quality compared with research published in legitimate open access journals.7 To more fully understand the respondents’ peer reviews requires access to them. While more than a quarter of the respondents indicated their willingness to share their peer reviews, only two did so, and one was an article proof rather than a peer review.

More than a third of the respondents indicated thatsystematic reviews or clinical practice guidelines which impact clinical practice and health policies. This also requires additional investigation. Finally, our survey results need to be interpreted in the light of their being based on self-reported responses.

While these results are informative, and provocative in places, adding to the knowledge base of presumed predatory publishers and journals, they do not provide a complete picture regarding the motivations to publish in presumed predatory journals. Knowledge of researcher motivations to publish in predatory journals is critical in order to be able to develop effective interventions to prevent future submissions. For example, if researchers are intentionally using these outlets as a means to pad their CVs, outreach and education is unlikely to effectively stop future submissions. However, educational outreach to hiring, promotion and

or expectations, and the clinical implications of this change if EOSS was implemented are unclear.

Although the current weight management guidelines \[[@B16], [@B23]\] recommend weight loss for all obese adults to improve health, weight loss may not be necessary for all obese patients and the ability to lose weight may in fact be impaired in some. "Metabolically healthy" obese patients \[[@B24]--[@B26]\] display high levels of insulin sensitivity and favorable blood lipid profiles and are normotensive \[[@B27]--[@B31]\]. A high level of insulin sensitivity has been reported to impair weight loss and is associated with weight gain in these patients \[[@B4], [@B5]\]. We demonstrate that, on average, patients from all EOSS stages were able to attain a similar weight loss. In fact, patients in EOSS stages 0 and 1 lost weightincreases in appetite \[[@B9], [@B32]\]. Similarly, stress and anxiety can result in emotional overeating \[[@B10]\] and the production of the stress hormone cortisol \[[@B33]\], which in turn may have negative effects on weight loss ability. These findings reinforce the importance of considering EOSS stage and promoting longer treatment models and weight management goals in clinical weight management.

Limitations and strengths of the current study warrant mention. It is unclear if the results from this study can be generalizable to other weight management clinics, especially since this is a referral weight management clinic that provides government covered services. Due to the flexibility in the EOSS operational criteria, different clinicians or clinics could have different focuses or assessments or patient needs that may alter the pattern of EOSS staging diagnosis.

Services were discontinued in 1965 as Ian Smith declared independence for Rhodesia with the deluded pledge that not in a thousand years would a black man rule. BA was back 15 years later as Mr Smith was defeated by the reality of economics as much as war; Rhodesia ceased to exist and the only black man to ever rule Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, took power.

Yesterday, theYou Guys Are A Joke!
Website is full of Hypocrites!!!

Hyporcrites. You can all laugh about a joke when some puts it into the Jets context such as suggesting they cannot beat anyone "like in the little kid" joke days ago. But, I make a comment about Cornholeous Coles and you all defend abused children. You guys are all a *beep*ing joke! Sensitive cowards. You do not deserve to even breathe the same air that I do. "I work with abused children and that's not funny" is the biggest pile of crap I have ever heard. It takes a New Yorker to defend the troubled youth of America like Vinny the Ginny. Dude...you are classless for accepting the first joke on the baord last week. Convienent that this joke commented


although acceptance has risen for both groups. Polling by the Pew Research Center this year showed that 43 percent of blacks support allowing gays and lesbians to legally marry. That’s up from 38 percent last year, but still below the 54 percent support among whites this year. In 2012, the NAACP passed a resolution endorsing same-sex marriage as a civil right.

“When the question is asked about marriage, most people then dig into their beliefs,” said Hilary Shelton, the NAACP’s senior vice president for advocacy and policy, noting that many black people attend church. “So when the question’s asked about marriage, you find that most will say, well, my religion doesn’t support that. But if you ask them if people should be able to legally enter into those contracts,been the gate to Europe via Lampedusa for a substantial number of migrants. This major crisis revealed the weaknesses of the European construction and the growing needs of the Schengen zone.

Both structural problems of integration within the free area and difficulties in establishing effective border control procedures were compounded by the influx of populations from the Middle East, frequently escaping civil war as well as the terror of organizations like ISIS in Syria. Those who reach Europe are entitled to claim asylum under the provisions of the 1951 Refugee Convention.

The refugee crisis, as it has been called, reflects the deep lack of ability of the European authorities to welcome these individuals with dignity and with respect for fundamental rights. The problem also stems from a clear refusal to


crisis is a prerequisite for the European Union’s realisation as a whole. In the battle for sovereignty and control, the major difficulty consists in rediscovering an application of the principle of mutual trust between Member States and in allowing such principle to be put at the core of the Schengen project.

Indeed, current difficulties are questioning the founding principle of free movement of persons – and, more broadly, the Schengen agreements. The failures that we have are a deliberate threat to the Union and to the European project. The disintegration of the area of freedom would be the destruction of the core ideals and would have major economic consequences for the continent as well.

The President of the Commission Juncker describes the state of the free space as « partiallyto stay in shape and these spooky or turkey runs do offer a great opportunity to do just that!

The last thing these holidays have going for them when it comes to cool weather running is the great themes they offer! Freaky 5K, Zombie Crawl, Turkey Trot, the list can go on and on. Everyone loves a costume and a reason to show one off…why not kill two birds with one stone and sport a costume while doing a sport.

Maybe It’s the Goodwill

Finally, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. You’ll see it as your favorite NFL players put on pink cleats and gloves as they take the field. You’ll see it as new breakthroughs in detection are announced and promoted on nearly every news network. You’ll see it in

I meant no disrespect to anyone. I was just explaining how I was taught to say the words. I wasn't saying that your advice was not of any value to me. Also, I did not say that Japanese people know more about the religion of Buddhism than any other people of a different race. I'm great full that you guys even answered my question.

I think it gives you a choice in the matter of decisions that we make in life. It gives us the choice to truly decide how we want to treat people ect. It's awareness. When you have that you won't just react to a situation in away that you#!/usr/bin/env bash

Q:

Why does the IA-32 architecture push the EFLAGS register onto the stack prior to calling an interrupt handler?

Is it just because the EFLAGS register works like a switch? So when it's active, the interrupt is enabled, otherwise, it's not?
Say, in a Java program it would be something like,
 while (switch != 0){
     keepRunning;
 }

 Stop;

A:

The core saves EFLAGS in the interrupt stack frame in order that the interrupted task can be resumed later. EFLAGS is part of the bare minimum machine state saved by the core in the stack frame, which also includes the instruction pointer (EIP), code segment (CS) and usually the user-mode stack pointer (ESP).  When the interrupt service routine completes (with the IRET instruction), the core restores EFLAGS and thejoint indicates that Anzu could move its mandible back and forth. This jaw motion would have facilitated cutting food between the upper and lower halves of the beak. Based on the combination of features in the skeleton, we surmised that Anzu was possibly an omnivore. Perhaps future finds will bring a more definite answer.

The next step in our research is a detailed anatomical description and analysis of the skeleton of the new dinosaur, which will help us in answering questions about its biology and its ecological role in the Hell Creek ecosystem. We recently learned of the existence of unreported bones of Anzu in several museum collections, which will further increase our study sample. Working with a Russian colleague, I am now also studying bones of a geologically

The psychologist Max Wertheimer (1880-1943), took Goethe as a starting point, developing the idea of Gestalt, or underlying form, in a promising direction far removed from the dead-end of racism into which the Nazis tried to divert it.

Born in Prague, he fled central Europe before Hitler came to power and continued his work in the USA, later becoming an American citizen.

Max Wertheimer

While the Nazis claimed piecemeal or fragmented thinking was a Jewish trait, Wertheimer, who was himself Jewish, turned this round against them. He argued that the modern world had cropped humanity’s thinking capacity. Piecemeal thinking – strings of propositions torn from their original living context – was being used by demagogues“The new organic whole, founded on the regeneration of the ‘cells’ of the social tissue, will be the renaissance (rather than the return) of organic community in the shape of a decentralised federation of small communities”. (46)

His position was echoed in France by that of Bernard Lazare (1865-1903), a Jewish anarchist who rejected the myth of progress and the allure of the modern in favour of a respect for the past, particularly for medieval guilds or rural communities.

There was nothing reactionary in this opposition to the mass-produced solitude of the modern capitalist world and the desire to revive, in a different form, the organic communities which had been steamrollered by The Machine.

Löwy comments that Lazare was “projecting his Romantic nostalgia for the past into a utopian future, by
