that the content universe includes all, or nearly all, important parts of the job" (at 29), cited favorably in United States v. City of Chicago, 573 F.2d 416, 425 (7th Cir.1978) (emphasis added by Chief Judge Fairchild). In Guardians IV, supra, the Second Circuit rejected the contention that an examination must test for all abilities of a job and for each in its proper proportion, and adopted the following more relaxed standard:
The reason for a requirement that the content of the exam be representative is to prevent either the use of some minor aspect of the job as the basis for the selection procedure or the needless elimination *266 of some significant part of the job's requirements from the selection process entirely; this adds a quantitative element to*273 the [City of Detroit's] use of a racial quota in its promotion of sergeants as one of the methods for achieving its laudable objectives." 52 U.S.L.W. 2147 (1984).
In sum, affirmative relief is not justified in this case at this time. Compliance and compensatory relief is all that is needed. The parties are directed to confer and to submit a proposed Order to this Court on or before July 2, 1984 in the light of this opinion.

trial that the first 16 promotional rankings had been utilized, including 13 whites and 3 blacks, but that the number one ranked candidate, who was white, resigned from the Department. Thus, the actual promotion statistics to date include 15 persons, 12 of whom are white and 3 of whom are black.
[8]  Plaintiffs' expert, Dr. Richard S. Barrett, testified that "the severe adverse impact was based on the results of the written examination."
[9]  The validity of the 1981 promotional procedure is not per se an issue in this litigation. Although plaintiffs have alleged in this case at various times that the 1981 promotional procedure, and all of its component parts, had a racially adverse impact, plaintiffs have never sought to have the Court determine the legality ofthe same personnel who wrote items for the 1982 written exam, that is not reflected in the 1982 Validation Report. Of course, even were there considerable or complete overlap in personnel, training in the writing of items is only one step in assuring that test items are properly constructed.

Barrett, Plaintiffs' Exhibit 4 at 9, in which Dr. Barrett concluded "that the 1982 Police Sergeant Examination is not professionally developed ... and is not job-related according to the standards set forth in the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures."

In response to Dr. Barrett's criticisms, Mr. Wendland testified at trial that the Commission eliminated the 20 items to which Dr. Barrett had objected in his October 12, 1983 affidavit and rescored the written exam. Mr. Wendland testified that the correlation between the 97-item test and the "rescored" 77-item test was 96%. Mr. Wendland further stated that rescoring did not48, 52, 61, 70, 71.

and 14C(8) and (9).
[74]  Rank-ordering also may not be appropriate because the 1982 promotional procedure, as a whole, fails to test for critical work behaviors, such as supervisory ability. The exclusion of significant work behaviors casts doubt upon the ability of the promotional procedure to determine with precision those candidates best able to perform as sergeants.
[75]  Only two post-test item analyses were performed in 1982. One analysis was an upper-group/lower-group item analysis and the other analysis was a racial impact analysis.

The results of both item analysis are set forth in the 1982 Validation Report.
[76]  An item discrimination (upper-group/lower-group) analysis was conducted by the Commission subsequent to the administration of the written exam. However, there was no testimony as to whether the test items exhibit athe promotion quota was necessary to increase black police officers at all ranks, in order to achieve more effective law enforcement and reduce discriminatory treatment against black citizens. This amounts to little more than a claim that only black police officers can effectively provide law enforcement services to black citizens or supervise lower-ranking black officers. Such a claim has no place in a free, pluralistic society. If accepted, it would justify a claim that members of a racial or ethnic group can be properly served or treated only by fellow members of that group. This would turn the clock back to the "separate but equal" days of the past, when public entities dispensed benefits, entitlements, and penalties of all kinds on the basis of a person's skin color.

Machine-learning algorithms can be of great help in such tasks but the mere classification result is often not sufficient; ideally, the experimenter should understand why the algorithm is able classify the data, i.e., the learned model should be interpretable in neurophysiological terms. A model able to reliably identify those neural sources that contribute to the discrimination between given experimental conditions could enable efficient exploitative analysis of these complex data sets and ultimately allow more complex experimental designs.

Finally, sample sizes in EEG/MEG data sets are typically too small for deep-learning models. One reason for this is the high cost and time limit of collecting these data. Running an experiment


non-linearity using rectified linear units ($ReLU$) and a max-pooling layer with a pooling factor of 2 and a stride of 2 applied to the time dimension. Temporal max-pooling provides robustness against variation in the latency of the informative responses across subjects.

#### Output layer: Imposing sparsity

The mapping from the temporal convolution layer to the output is provided by a single, fully-connected layer followed by a soft-max normalization. Sparsity is imposed on the weights of the output layer using $l_1$-norm regularization suppressing most of the activity that is unrelated to the classification. Exploring the non-zero weights in the output layer thus allows to identify the temporal and spatial patterns which contribute to the discrimination.

Model inspection and parameter interpretation
---------------------------------------------

Interpretation of the model parameters in terms of the underlying neural activity isit is unclear whether the spatial filters optimized to extract only the informative parts of the latent time course could be used to estimate the latent precision matrix without distortion (Supplementary Figure 1).

The obtained sensor-level spatial pattern can further be mapped onto the individual source space using standard source estimation algorithms (Figure \[fig:interpretability\]). To demonstrate this mapping we trained an LF-CNN model on pooled data from Experiment 1 and updated it with a single training epoch performed on the data of a single held-out subject. For each of the 5 classes of stimuli, we extracted the model parameters corresponding to spatial filters of the single most informative component using the procedure described above. These patterns were compared to components that had minimal or no contribution to any of


the classes as defined by the absolute sum of the corresponding weights in the output layer (Figure \[fig:non\_informative\]). We then estimated the neural sources of each informative component by computing dynamic statistical parametric maps (dSPM) [@Dale2000] for sources constrained onto the individual cortical surface and with orientations favoring the direction perpendicular to the local cortical surface (loose orientation constraint 0.2) as implemented in the MNE-Python software package [@Gramfort2013].

We then conducted a standard evoked-response analysis by averaging the MEG responses within each class of stimuli. We compared the features extracted from our model to the most prominent components of the corresponding averaged evoked responses in terms of their latency and spatial distribution and the corresponding source estimates. Source estimation of the averaged evoked responses utilized noise covariance estimated fromsampled at 1000 Hz (1500 samples measured by 204 MEG channels) starting at the onset of the visual cue. Based on the measured MEG signal, we decoded whether the subject imagined moving his/her left or right hand, or nothing at all (rest condition). Total trial counts per subject were $120 \pm 5$ (mean $\pm$ SD).

Experiment 3: Real-time motor imagery BCI
-----------------------------------------

Here we applied the same experimental paradigm as in Experiment 2, but with true real-time decoding and updating of the model. For this experiment, a network trained using a subset of trials from 17 subjects (Experiment 2) including only two classes (left vs. right motor imagery) was integrated into a real-time motor imagery BCI. Two subjects performed a task where they had to imagine moving the left or right


our LF-CNN architecture allows interpretation of the learned model parameters in terms of the underlying neural activity. Such interpretation can prove to be a convenient tool for quickly exploring complex, high-dimensional MEG and EEG datasets and ultimately allow extracting more information from these rich data. Interpretation of discriminative models can provide valuable insights into these data by e.g. allowing to dissociate “most active” sources from those that contribute the most to discrimination. One potential application of these methods could be investigating neural sources contributing to BCI control. This argument, however, holds only for LF-CNN, because the more complex VAR-CNN variant allows to capture non-linear interactions between the latent sources and thus cannot be interpreted in a straightforward way.

Moreover, we propose a procedure where the classifier is initialized fromto different EEG-based BCI paradigms (including both evoked and induced responses). EEGNet has also been shown to generalize well to held-out subjects. Importantly, in our simulated real-time tests, EEGNet came close to the accuracies of our models, demonstrating the advantages of neural networks in combination with stochastic optimization.

Similarly to other models [e.g. @Schirrmeister2017], @Lawhern2018EEGNet:Interfaces applied 1-d temporal convolutions to the raw EEG channel data. Our results also indicate that models using 1-d convolutions are better suited for classification of MEG data than the deeper image classification networks relying on 2-d convolutions. In contrast to previous studies, we apply spatial decomposition first, followed by a temporal depth-wise (LF-CNN) or spatio–temporal (VAR-CNN) convolution. The motivation for this is three-fold: first, it allows effective spatial decorrelation and dimensionality reduction; second, when

"Leaves" hooks with chiming six-strings and a sing-along chorus as Gnecco laments the loss of community and trust. It's social commentary that manages the exacting task of achieving significance without sounding trite or preachy -- even when the singer's doing his best to sound a little (but not too much) like a cross between Jeff Buckley and Bono. In "If Flowers Turn," the songwriter wistfully assumes the mantle of the sacrificial lamb and invokes memento mori against a shimmering backdrop of guitar-laced pop beauty.

The idea is it’s a canary in a coalmine, an early indicator of danger or contamination. A bit like the dog barking on the Bridge of Americas in “Sicario”. Inside the spaceship, we edited the sound to suggest it was getting agitated long before we know what it’s sensing. We used the canary in the nightmare sequence, also, it was a good way of ratcheting up the tension, and while we’re watching the scene, it’s a clear indication that not is all as it seems.

The construction and hermetic sealing of the first passageway 107 is of particular concern. The temperature coefficient of solder and glass is substantially different. When the solder and glass structures are subjected to a temperature transition they expand or contract at different rates because of differing thermal coefficients of expansion. The differing rates cause stress to build up in the solder, 123 and at the location of the glass 102 and solder 123 interface. This is undesirable because during large temperature transitions the glass 102 and solder 123 will be over stressed and either or both will crack. This cracking causes the hermetic seal to be broken. When this seal is broken the reference pressure is released and the sensor no longer can function as desgned.

Dawson’s comments are in sharp contrast with what her office was telling reporters less than a month ago. At the time, her office said Dawson was “reviewing this matter in order to determine how the Conflict of Interest Act might apply, and is following up with Mr. Wright.”

The investigations by the RCMP and Dawson came after questions were raised about Duffy’s Senate expense accounts and a $90,000 cheque Wright wrote from his personal funds to allow Duffy to repay some of those expenses.

In April, the RCMP told Wright that he would not face charges. However, the force is believed to still be actively investigating Duffy.

Tuesday, Dawson said her investigation into Wright had just started when she had to put itin the corner behind the fence.

There were 547 pre-menopausal patients included in the trial (Rutqvist and Johansson [@CR15]). Tumour tissues obtained from surgery were formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and stored at room temperature until usage. Genomic DNA was previously extracted from FFPE tumour tissues using QIAamp DNA FFPE Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) (Veenstra et al. [@CR21]). Tumour tissues were available from 219 of the pre-menopausal patients and DNA extracted from the FFPE tissues was available from 214 (Fig. [1](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}). Retrospective studies on this tumour material were approved by the ethical committee at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. The patient and treatment characteristics are displayed in Table [1](#Tab1){ref-type="table"}. ER status was obtained by isoelectric focusing, with a threshold of 0.05 fmol/µg DNA.


and PTPN2 protein expression. As described previously, in this cohort of patients the subtypes were defined by ER-status, HER2-status, and NHG; Ki67 staining was not available (Veenstra et al. [@CR21]). For survival analysis, overexpression of HER2, rather than the HER2-like subtype, was used, as there were few patients in the HER2-like subtype group. Statistical analyses were performed with IBM SPSS for Windows, Version 23 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA). The criterion for statistical significance was *p* ≤ 0.05.

Results {#Sec11}
=======

PTPN2 copy number variations and protein expression {#Sec12}
---------------------------------------------------

To determine the expression levels of PTPN2, IHC was carried out with an antibody recognising both main isoforms of PTPN2 (TC45 and TC48). Expression was primarily localised to the cytoplasm and high expression (intermediate to strong staining) was found in 49.8% (109/219) of the tumours,protein expression (Fig. [4](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"}b). In the case of low membranous pMet, similar results were seen when selecting patients for Luminal A disease (HR = 0.491; 95% CI 0.258--0.935, *p* = 0.030) and HER2 overexpression (HR = 0.201; 95% CI 0.044--0.922, *p* = 0.039), but not for TNBC (HR = 0.541; 95% CI 0.190--1.541, *p* = 0.25).Fig. 4Distant recurrence-free survival in relation to PTPN2 protein expression and either low membranous pMet expression, **a** HR = 0.537; 95% CI 0.340--0.847, *p* = 0.008, or high-membranous pMet expression, **b** HR = 0.944; 95% CI 0.413--2.16, *p* = 0.891

Prediction of radiotherapy benefit {#Sec15}
----------------------------------

Radiotherapy is known to markedly reduce loco-regional recurrence risk and this was significant for patients with tumours expressing high cytoplasmic PTPN2 levels, but for patients with low cytoplasmic PTPN2 disease there was no significant difference in local recurrence rate between the radiotherapy and CMF groups (Fig. [5](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"}a, b). For patients with low, respectively,


high cytoplasmic PTPN2 disease, distant recurrence-free survival was not significantly different between patients in the two treatment arms (Fig. [5](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"}c, d).Fig. 5Estimated survival for patients treated with radiotherapy compared with chemotherapy in relation to PTPN2 protein expression. Loco-regional recurrence-free survival is shown for patients with tumours with **a** low PTPN2 expression (HR = 0.721; 95% CI 0.330--1.572, *p* = 0.410) and **b** high protein expression (HR = 0.301; 95% CI 0.101--0.896, *p* = 0.031), test for interaction: *p* = 0.20. Distant recurrence-free survival is shown for patients with tumours harbouring **c** low PTPN2 expression (HR = 1.44; 95% CI 0.881--2.63, *p* = 0.145) and **d** high protein expression (HR = 0.889; 95% CI 0.504--1.568, *p* = 0.685), test for interaction: *p* = 0.701

PTPN2 knockdown responses are subtype-dependent {#Sec16}
-----------------------------------------------

To evaluate if the role of PTPN2 is subtype-dependent, the protein was knocked down in three different cell lines, representing three different subtypes.been previously found to be related to PTPN2 and suggested to be a substrate (Sangwan et al. [@CR16]). Here, low PTPN2 protein expression was related to low expression of phosphorylated Met in the cytoplasm and membrane. Patients with low membranous pMet in their tumours and low PTPN2 expression had a poor survival rate, which was also seen in Luminal A disease and patients with tumours overexpressing HER2. In the ER-negative and HER2-positive cell line SKBR3, it was shown that Met phosphorylation increased after knockdown of PTPN2, further suggesting Met to be a substrate of PTPN2. Met phosphorylation has previously been shown to increase upon PTPN2 depletion and HGF stimulation in the ER-negative cell line HeLa (Sangwan et al. [@CR16]). However, Met expression was found to be decreased upon

It is generated by the microbial fermentation of organic matter—including manure, wastewater sludge, municipal solid waste, or other biodegradable feedstock—under anaerobic conditions. Biogas is also called swamp gas, landfill gas, or marsh gas, depending on where it is produced.

Large deposits of methane have been found in a form known as methane clathrate, under sediments on the ocean floors. Also known as methane hydrate or methane ice, it consists of methane molecules held in cage-like, crystalline structures of frozen water. Methane clathrates are thought to be formed when methane gas streams rising from geological faults come in contact with cold seawater. One liter of methane clathrate solid would contain, on average, 168 liters of methane gas (at 25 °C and


methane is produced by chemical reactions between hydrogen and common atmospheric gases.

Properties

At room temperature and pressure, methane is a colorless, odorless gas, lighter than air. At a pressure of 1 atmosphere, its boiling point is -161.5 °C (-258.7 °F) and melting point is -182.5 °C (-296.5 °F). It is highly flammable and reacts violently with oxidizers, halogens, and some halogen compounds.

Each molecule of methane is small, consisting of four atoms of hydrogen attached to a single atom of carbon through covalent bonds. The molecule is shaped like a tetrahedron, with the carbon atom at the center and the four hydrogen atoms occupying the four corners of the tetrahedron. Unlike water molecules, which are polar and attract one another, methane molecules are non-polar and do not have much attractionEbola: Mapping the outbreak Published duration 14 January 2016

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa was first reported in March 2014, and rapidly became the deadliest occurrence of the disease since its discovery in 1976.

In fact, the epidemic killed five times more than all other known Ebola outbreaks combined.

More than 21 months on from the first confirmed case recorded on 23 March 2014, 11,315 people have been reported as having died from the disease in six countries; Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, the US and Mali.

The total number of reported cases is about 28,637.

But on 13 January, 2016, the World Health Organisation declared the last of the countries affected, Liberia, to be Ebola-free.

The World Health Organization (WHO) admits the figures are underestimates, given the difficulty collecting the data.

Looking for Geo Spatial Library can be integrate with Hadoop

I am looking for Geo Spatial Library can be integrate with Hadoop. Basically I need to perform few functions like aggregate, extract values of points, dissolve etc. which comes with the ArcGIS.
I looking for something similar that I can do with the Hadoop , using MR or HBase or HIVE whatever is suitable.
Please provide me your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Five species of suspension-feeding bivalves were transplanted to each of two elevations on a tidal flat at Shark Bay, Western Australia, at six replicate locations spaced at 1-km intervals along the shore. Four species exhibited greatly reduced growth at the higher elevation, while the fifth species did not respond to elevation. The magnitude of the % reductions in growth with increased elevation was 2-3 times the % reduction in average daily submergence, confirming a previous suggestion that differences in feeding time alone are insufficient to explain completely the reduced growth of suspension-feeding bivalves at higher tidal elevatios. All four species that responded showed the same pattern of higher growth lower on the

repeated cell counts of the number of cells attached to the tooth surface were performed by a blinded observer and each photograph had 5 representative areas, one central and 4 peripheral. In addition the morphology of individual cells were assessed at a magnification of ×500 and were scored using a scale from 1 to 4, where 1=flat cells, 2=combination of oval or round and flat cells, 3=oval cells and 4=round cells ([@b9-ijsc-08-90]). The parameters that were assessed and compared between the groups were number of cells on the scaffold and the morphological score of the adhereing cells.

Statistical Analysis
--------------------

The Students 't' test was used to determine whether there was a statistical difference between Control and Study group in the parameters measured. One way analyses of variance with Tukey's postdonors via a non-invasive procedure with a low risk of infection and can therefore be considered an attractive alternative source of MSCs. hUCMSCs can differentiate into cells that possess the fibroblast-like morphology, non-hematopoietic cell surface phenotypes, low immunogenicity, and multipotent differentiation ability. Therefore, MSCs obtained from human umbilical cord tissue may serve as a rational candidate cell source for tooth regeneration research. Signalling molecules are another important element in periodontal regeneration. Growth factors when added can modulate many cellular activities, including cell differentiation and proliferation, cell migration and extracellular matrix synthesis and production. bFGF is one such bioactive agent that can promote periodontal regeneration. Although there are many challenges ahead of us in terms of utilizing stem cells for tissue regeneration, hUCMSCs are one of the most promising

Could you describe this function as "logarithmic"?

Consider the following function:
$$f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$$
As $x$ increases, the value of $f(x)$ decreases, but the decrease tapers off quickly as $x$ gets larger, and if you plot the graph of $f(x)$, the shape looks kind of like an upside-down logarithm. Would it be correct to describe this function as declining logarithmically, as $x$ increases?

A:

No.
Logarithmic functions are specifically functions that have the property that shifting the function up or down by a fixed amount is roughly equivalent to scaling it horizontally by some fixed factor. Your function $f(x) = x^{- \frac 12}$ is not the same in this regard.
For example, your function has a horizontal asymptote at x = 0. A logarithmic function has no horizontal asymptotes.
The function only "looks similar" because it

mouth as she sought the averted face above her. But all she could
glimpse were violent motions of one ragged point of his moustache as it
kept imperfect time with the unseen end which was being viciously
chewed.
At length, the irresistible little attraction at his side proved too
strong for the Captain's stubbornness, and he looked down into her big
blue eyes. At sight of his own blackened and swollen lids Elizabeth
uttered a sharp cry. She took the roughened hand in hers and gave it a
gentle squeeze. But her deep concern was quickly followed by a ripple of
laughter. Hers was a laugh that was as good to see as to hear. The
Captain smiled a wholly unintentional smile and returneda minister."
"He ain't like none I ever see. He used to ship with me during the
summer months when he was in school, and he's man clean to the ground. I
can't see why in tarnation a big feller like him wants to take up such a
sissy's job of piloting a lot of women to heaven."
"But it isn't that kind of work, unless one makes it such," she
defended.
Mr. McGowan came to a halt on the opposite edge of the well-curbing. It
was very unladylike, and Elizabeth knew it, but in spite of herself she
continued to stare.
"Let me interduce you," suggested the Captain.
"Thank you, I'd better run along and help those in the house."
But she failed to suit the action to the word, and for the simple reason

The Captain looked at her oddly. "And they're planning to change him
from one to the other, is that the idea?"
"No-o, not that exactly. But Mr. Fox thinks it would be a good time to
show all the people that Mr. McGowan is orthodox. There will be
ministers here from everywhere. The Reverend Mr. Means is coming out
from New York."
"If they're all like that feller, they'll be a hot lot."
"Josiah Pott! Haven't you any respect for the cloth?"
"Not for the kind he wears, I ain't. I'd say his cloth is a sort of
sheep's clothing, same as the Bible speaks of."

"Brethren, we have the right to an explanation from our young brother. I
was denied that privilege at the time of his ordination. But I consider
his contradictory statements so serious a thing that I shall give you
the opportunity that was denied me."
Elder Fox, plainly nettled by the turn affairs had taken, rose and
demanded the floor.
"Brother Fox!" vociferously acknowledged the moderator.
"We have no right to carry this senseless discussion further. There has
not yet been sounded--er--the note of fellowship that should prevail
among the brethren," declared the Elder, eyeing the chairman. Very
gently stroking his side-whiskers, he continued: "We have sprung at our
young friend--er--as if he were before a jury, condemned and found
guilty of a felony. Why should we trouble him about things that are not
fundamental to

the fears of the Reverend Mr. Means--privately made known to the Elder
after the installation service--had foundation in fact? Or had the
suggestion of Mr. Means lodged in the Elder's mind, playing havoc with
his imagination?
Mr. McGowan drew off to the far end of the mantel, and began,
figuratively, to kick himself. He had often declared that a man in love
was the biggest mule on earth, and now here he was, the king of them
all, a genuine descendant of Balaam's mount with all his asinine
qualities, but lacking his common mule sense.

"There is no occasion for excuses," graciously replied the girl.

the traders of his day, and thus have put me on the trail of my client.
This man was arrested on some charge trumped up by two scamps, but was
later released and exonerated. They'd arrest a man over there for
looking at his own watch if he happened to cross his eyes while doing
it. At the time when my client was in trouble the convict-ships were in
business."
The Elder dropped back from the edge of his chair which he had held
since the beginning of the conversation. He gave his son a look of dumb
appeal. With an effort he straightened and glared vacantly across the
table.
"I was aboard the convict-ship _Success_ while she was in the New York
harbor this spring," commented the minister. "I don't seeWhat shall we do!"
Mr. McGowan telephoned for the doctor, and when he arrived he sent him
at once to the Elder's room. The physician entered unannounced, stopped
short on the threshold, and stared at the two men who were in the midst
of a heated discussion.
Elizabeth met the doctor as he came down the stair.
"Miss Fox, will you be kind enough to tell me if your father has had bad
news, or sudden grief?"
"Not that I know of, Doctor. Harold had just told him that he must start
for Australia to-morrow when Father nearly fainted. That is all that
happened."
"Then, I see no occasion for this. There is nothing organically wrong so
far as I can discover. But I shall take his blood pressure to-morrow
just to be on the safe side. Call me any time


be careful not to touch him," advised the
Captain, eyeing the human cyclone with amusement and amazement. "Looks
mighty dangerous, and sort as if he might go off."
Harry met these words with a blazing glare.
"Cal'late you'd best come in and cool off a mite, Harry. You seem sort
of het up."
"W-Woman, c-come w-with m-me!" spluttered Mr. Beaver.
He strutted round the room, well out of the Captain's reach, and back
again toward the door, looking for the world like a young barnyard fowl.
But his wife did not follow.
"She ain't going just yet. We was having a quiet-like chat when you
busted in here, and I cal'late we'd best make it three-sided, that is,
if you ain't got no reasonable objection to raise. Come, you ain't in
that rush."
Harry bounded toward the door. So, also, did thethe yarn to me that you've been spreading round
town," he said, slowly filling his pipe and offering the pouch to Harry
Beaver.
Mr. Beaver spurned the weed of peace with a ferocious glare. With a
little coaching the Captain brought out the story. The gist of the
matter was that Mr. Beaver considered McGowan morally lax in the free
way he was mixing with the boys at the Inn.
"Let's get this straight. Who is the feller you're talking about? Just
repeat his name to me."
"M-McGowan!" defiantly repeated Mr. Beaver.
"When mentioning him to me,"--requested the Captain in a tone that made
the other man start with apprehension,--"you'll call him _Mr._ McGowan.
Understand that?"
Mr. Beaver seemed fully to understand, for he obeyed. When he had
finished his yarn of sheer nonsense, Captain Pott slowly laid his pipe
on the table


that civil war was to ensue if the contest went against Mr.
McGowan.
"How'd he git into such a scrape?"
"It looks like the work of that d--I wish the parson would let me swear
for once--Sim Hicks."
"You mean Hicks brought him in?"
"He come in here more'n a week ago and asked Mr. McGowan to give him
some lessons. Now the devil's to pay, and if we ain't 'way off Hicks
happens to be that devil."
"How----"
"For God's sake stop asking me questions or I'll cut loose and turn the
air blue round here."
"There ain't a feller living that can fight Mack on a week of training,"
declared the seaman.
"No one said he'd had no more'n a week of training."
"I don't give a tinker's dam if he's had all the training in creation,
he can't lick Mack McGowantrap that had been set for
him, but he gave no evidence of worry. He met the malicious grin of the
other with a friendly, but grim smile.
The stranger lost no time in preliminaries. He thought himself in full
possession of the minister's boxing ability, and he showed a great
amount of over-confidence. He had studied the other's speed, he had
spied into his style, he had tested his reach. Certainly, with all this
knowledge, he should have a picnic. He had been very careful on all
occasions to appear as nothing more than a novice. He was not unmindful
of the other's endurance, but hoping to make a quick end of the matter,
he tried to force the minister under full headway at once. He went at
him in a whirlwind rush. It seemed to the observers


McGowan gave no sign of having suffered from the severe
punishment because of the other man's foul. Those who had been standing
about the box, now jostled the other faction out of the ring, and
pressed closely about the Captain.
During the next fifteen minutes the boxers worked swiftly. Although the
stranger had publicly defied the seaman's orders to fight fair, yet it
was apparent to all that he was obeying them. Only once did he attempt a
foul. The Captain's quick eyes saw, and with a thundering command that
shook the room he checked the pugilist's stiff arm movement to the
throat. Then the end came. Mr. McGowan brought forward his head and
shoulders with his usual lightning-like swiftness in order to draw a
lead before the other was prepared for it, and at the same time he
accompaniedout into the air
above his head.
"And you have just declared that you didn't intend to propose. I'm
afraid----"
"I ain't interested in your fears, young man. I'm too old a sea-dog for
any of them new-fangled tricks. But being as you're set on staying here
I've decided that we'll take a woman aboard to look after the mess and
swab decks."
The minister became serious. "Is that practical in our present
position?"
"Practical in our present position? If it ain't, then I'd like to know
when in the name of all my ancestors such a thing is practical.
Mack----"
"I mean from the financial point of view. The boxing match seems to have
hit the pocketbooks of the church members harder than the man from the
city hit me. At least, something has given them almost total
paralysis."
"Who's asking you to consarn


yourself with a woman's keep? I ain't, be
I?"
"I hope you don't think that I'd permit you to bring a housekeeper in
here for me unless you give me the privilege of sharing in the
expense."
"Mack, this here place ain't your house. Cal'late I'll do about as I
please on that p'int."
"If I can't stand the expense with part salary, you certainly can't
stand it with none," persisted the minister.
"I ain't sartin it would cost anything. Leastwise, it won't cost much. I
ain't sartin,"--repeated the Captain as though in meditation,--"but I
think she'll come."
"Who?"
"Don't let your cur'osity get away with you, young feller. I ain't
promising nothing, but I'm just thinking, that's all. How'd you like to
cruise round the P'int to-morrow, Mack?"
"You have a delightful way of changing the subject when it gets too
hot. But I'dsprung a surprise on his
teacher. "Ain't you going to welcome 'em? You'll find their name on the
roster, and they brought their grub with 'em."
"This is a very delightful surprise," faintly declared the minister.
Elizabeth looked troubled, and her discomfort did not add to the
minister's ease. She had been anything but cordial since the incident at
her home when Mr. Fox had taken ill. He had not seen her since the
fight. He feared that the interpretation placed on that by her father
had not bettered his standing.
"I didn't go to bed last night right off, Mack, when I said I was
going," explained the Captain. "I went out and fixed up this little
party for a sort of surprise to all hands. I stowed that 'ile in the
boat-house on purpose so as I could


visitor at the Farm, and many knew him. He
went at once to the bare little reception-room and made known his
presence. As Miss Pipkin entered a slight tinge crept into the hollow of
her sallow cheeks. She extended a bony hand.
"I'm real glad to see you, Josiah. It's been a long time since you
called."
"Howdy, Clemmie. It has been a mite long, but I've been purty busy of
late trying to keep people out of trouble."
"Then you must have changed a lot."
"You ain't looking well," he observed solicitously. "Ain't sick, be
you?"
"No," she answered with a deep sigh. "That is, I ain't real sick. I
ain't been feeling quite myself for a spell, but I reckon it will wear
off."
"You'll wear off if you don't get out of this place," replied the
Captain.
Miss Pipkin was farto tell you for fear you
wouldn't understand, but you didn't suggest anything for me to do, and I
had to tell you. Can't you get Mr. McGowan to be careful what he puts in
his sermons?"
"Am I to tell him whose orders they be?"
"Indeed, not!"
"A heap of good it will do, then, for me to say anything. He'd take it
as a banter for a fight. Cal'late we'll have to trust to luck that he'll
stick to the old chart."
Elizabeth slid from the roof of the cabin to the deck. She walked to the
railing and looked over into the water. The Captain, thinking she was
ready to go ashore, followed. She swung about, and stamped her foot,
angrily.
"Why don't you men know how to act! Why doesn't he know how to behave
himself!"
She turned back


that some who had remained to see
trouble, got up and went home. At last Mr. Beaver rose, and the audience
caught its breath. He poised himself on one foot, and began to pump,
blink, whistle, and finally to stutter.
"M-M-Mr. Ch-ch-ch-chairman!" he called in a high excited voice.
Elder Fox declared that Mr. Beaver had the floor, and Mr. Beaver
proceeded to take it, at least a good part of the section round which he
was hopping. People moved back and gave him room, for he needed plenty
of space in which to make himself understood.
"The p-p-parish c-committee h-h-has d-decided that M-Mr. McGowan is not
the m-m-man for our ch-ch-church. Elder F-F-Fox has the report of the
c-c-committee. I m-m-move we h-h-h-hear him now!"
Mr. Fox mounted the platform and came forward to the edge. He looked
into themore of the facts
I might be able to help you locate him."
"You mean you have an idea that he is still living?"
"I can't say as to that, but if you'll only help me I am certain that we
shall find out something interesting."
Miss Pipkin drew the corner of her apron across the corner of her eyes,
disappointment written deeply in every line and wrinkle of her face.
"There ain't much more to tell. Adoniah went to sea. I got a letter from
him once from Australia. I wrote back saying I'd take back what I'd
said. He answered it, but didn't say nothing about what I said to him.
He spoke of meeting up with some one he knew, saying they was going in
business together. I ain't never told anybody about that, not even
Josiah,


you along the beach, and
you'll not need to climb any hill. I'll call to you from the back gate,
and you'll know I'm safe." She turned toward him once more. "Harold came
home to-day, and Father has been worse since that. Harold found out
something about the man he went over to Australia to look up. He must
have told Father about it to-day. Since then he has been in a terrible
state of mind. It seems that Harold found out something about you,
too."
Mr. McGowan was too surprised to reply.
"Against you, Father says. I was not going to tell you this, but you
have compelled me to do it by what you said to me. I know nothing of
your past life."
"Miss Fox, will you be kind enough to explain?"
"I have nothing to explain. Allfoolishness this time."
Something in his tone made her look up into the face framed in the crack
of the door.
"Josiah!" she cried at sight of the drawn features.
He threw open the door and entered.
"Mr. McGowan ain't sick this morning, is he?" she asked.
"No. Leastwise he wa'n't when I passed the time of night or early
morning with him on my way to bed."
"Are you sick, Josiah?"
"What I got might be called that, Clemmie. I'm sick of the hull damn
round of life," he said, despondently.
"Josiah Pott! How you do talk! What do you mean by it, anyhow?"
"Purty much as I say. I'm always bungling things of late. I--well----"
"Now, you set down in that chair, and stop staring at me for all the
world like an old wood-owl, 'most scaring the wits out


see me, but I wa'n't none too friendly
with either of 'em."
"Josiah, stop your joking. You say there was a lawyer here to see you,
and he brought a mortgage on your place?"
The old man looked away and cleared his throat. "The feller come from
the city. He showed me how them papers called for a settlement afore the
fust of November. I ain't got a chance in the hull world to get hold of
any money afore then. He said something about a foreclosure, too, and he
said that meant I was to lose my place. He see how hard I took it, and
was real kind. He said he'd come all the way from the city just to let
me know."
"Kind! Pooh! You'd better have showed him the door like you told me you
didyour head is pretty hard on your friends."
"I cal'late it won't hurt my friends none. We wa'n't speaking of them
just then. Anyhow, it's kept me with a clean conscience to sleep with,
and I'd a heap sight rather ship with clear rigging than be ballasted
with some people's money and have to make bedfellows with their
conscience."
"Yes,--er--ahem--quite true," was the hasty reply. "What can I do for
you, Josiah? If I can be of the least service,--er--I shall be only too
glad."
"It depends on what you've got to offer me. The fust thing I'd like to
suggest is that you stop that there er-ing and hem-ing. There ain't no
one here but me, and it don't make no impression. Being that you're so
infernal anxious to get back to boyhood days we might just as well


ain't in no frame of mind to be fooled with to-night.
If you don't mean just what you're going to say, you'd best not say
it."
"I mean every word of it, but I shall expect more consideration and
respect from you before I open my mouth again."
"If you're in dead earnest, Jim, I beg your pardon. This damn mortgage
has got on my nerves purty bad. Heave over your proposition, and get it
off your chest."
"I shall have to exact one promise from you."
The Captain took one step toward the Elder's chair, his swarthy old face
alight with anticipation and hope. One promise! He would give a hundred,
and keep them all. The Captain was fine-looking at all times, every span
of him a man and a seaman. But when his face was bright with eagerness,
andrunning for office, and it closed up with
something like this: 'Dennis, my boy, look well to your laurels.' When
that tramp got through with it, it come back to the editor like this:
'Dammit, my boy, bark well at your barrels.'"
Mr. McGowan laughed heartily, and Miss Pipkin struggled against a like
inclination, doing her best to appear shocked.
"Josiah Pott!" she said at last. "I'd think you'd be ashamed telling
such things!"
"It ain't nothing more than what Adoniah told, and it happened just as I
spun it. You used to think what Adoniah said was all right."
The minister sobered instantly.
"But it ain't right defaming the dead like that."
"I ain't defaming no one. Don't get mad, Clemmie. Adoniah told the yarn
himself."
"Well, it ain't to his credit, and I ain't so sure he told it with


similar effect on
the Elder."
"Go on, Mack. Don't mind me. I'm a mite narvous. All unstrung, I
cal'late."
"As I said I had just mentioned that fact to Harold, and the conversation
naturally turned back to the days of the early traders who went to that
country. Harold then told his father that the law firm, of which he
has recently been made a junior member, had put him on a case which
necessitated his going over to Australia. It seems that they had been
trying to clear it up for a long time. The case came from Sydney, and
had been referred to him because he had once spent some time over there.
It was when he mentioned the name of the client that Mr. Fox nearly
fainted."
Mr. McGowan gave the fire another vigorous poke before continuing. The
Captainthe nail behind the kitchen door, and slipped into his slicker.
He was out of the house before the coat was fastened about his neck.
[Illustration: Miss Pipkin had been disturbed by the noise.--_Page 261._]
"Now, ain't that a caution to saints! And us a-standing here and not
trying to stop him. He's gone plumb off in his head!" lamented the
housekeeper, dropping limply into a chair. "What ever shall I do, Mr.
McGowan? I know he's coming down with that terrible fever again. I know
it! I know it!" She wept bitterly. "There ain't been no one so kind to
me, and that cares for me like him! And I ain't never give him any
chance!"
"Do you really care for the Captain?"
She straightened, and dabbed her apron into the corners of her eyes,
attempting at the same


time to marshal a legion of denials. But the
legion refused to be marshaled. She gave up, and admitted that she did
care for Captain Josiah, very much.
"Then, he'll come back, have no fear. A twenty-mule team couldn't keep
him away."
"What good will it be if he does come back, if he ain't got his
senses?"
"In my opinion he was never more sane than he is to-night. He has not
taken leave of his senses; he is not a man so easily dethroned. He has
merely taken a leave of absence from town, and all his five senses have
gone with him."
After Miss Pipkin had gone to her room somewhat comforted, Mr. McGowan
spied the yellow piece of paper which the Captain had dropped. He
stooped down, picked it up, smoothed the crumpled page, and began to
read.landing he halted, and turned toward her door.
What caprices emotion plays with judgment! One moment judgment may map
out a course as clear as the noonday, and the next moment emotion may
lead judgment into a blind alley. Thus did the emotions of Elizabeth
suddenly halt her judgment, leaving all her reason deaf, dumb, and
blind.
"Beth, are you asleep?" whispered a tired, husky voice.
"No, Father. I haven't retired yet. Come in."
She blindly felt that her father had need of her, and although she could
not understand the meaning of the battle he had been called upon to
general, she must give him her aid.
Mr. Fox entered and felt his way across the dark room. He found a chair
and dropped into it.
"You're in the dark, dear," he observed.
"Yes, Father. I've been thinking here since twilight.


about your troubles. It hurts me to see
you suffering so, and I want to help you. I'll try very hard."
"I can't tell you everything, Beth."
"Oh! Yes, you can. I'll be your doctor, and I'll promise not to remove
more of your money than is absolutely necessary for a new frock. Try me
this once, and see how well I'll prescribe."
"Money is not troubling me, and I'll see that you get all the new frocks
you wish. But I fear you would not understand if I should tell you
all."
"I shall try most awfully hard, Father. You have told me lots of times
that for a girl I have excellent ideas about business dealings. Please,
tell me. It will at least help you to unburden your mind."
"But I have told you already that what isI have to do. The mortgage on Josiah's
place----"
"You can certainly extend that, if only for six months. You don't need
the money."
"Don't interrupt me again, please. It's a far more serious thing than
the small loan I made to Josiah to repair his place with. The old
homestead was willed to Josiah's half-brother, providing he should
outlive Josiah. Josiah knew nothing about that fact, and when he was so
informed by his friends years ago, refused to listen to any of us. The
half-brother left the country rather than quarrel with him over the
estate. Later, this half-brother was in serious financial trouble, and I
happened to come across him when he was in dire need of money. Knowing
of the will, I loaned him all he needed, and took out a first mortgage
on his property. Owing


has doubtless been coming from some estate of the
father-in-law of Josiah's brother."
"Why was it dropped?"
"That I cannot tell you. I should have done nothing even now had I not
learned that this half-brother has come into that estate through the
death of the wife's father. I have every reason to believe that he could
pay not alone the interest, but the principal as well, if he so
desired."
"Perhaps this half-brother does not know about the inheritance."
"That is absurd. He does know, or should. The fact is, he is an outlaw
and is hiding from justice."
"But why should you make Uncle Josiah suffer for what his half-brother
did?"
"That is the very thing I am trying not to do. Can't you see where it
would place him if I told him the truth?"
"Yes. But I see noof law and
business. Forgive me if I have hurt you. I don't see why you feel as you
do about carrying this thing through at so great a sacrifice of lifelong
friendships. But I believe that you must be doing the best you can as
you see your duty."
"I can hope for no more than that, my dear."
Suddenly she shook the hair from her shining eyes.
"Father!"
"Yes?"
"I tell you what I'm going to do!" she cried. "I'm going to Uncle Josiah
just as soon as he gets back, and tell him as much as I think he ought
to know. May I?"
"Certainly, if you wish. I'll trust to your discretion. He will listen
to you. I think you know what must not be said, from our conversation
this evening."
"I'll do it!" she exclaimed eagerly, and stooped


here cruise was like the proposing to
the old maid: unexpected-like. For that reason I wa'n't prepared for
saying good-byes." His eyes clouded as he slowly continued, "It's a
fact, I never went off afore without telling you good-bye. I don't----"
He stopped and looked down at the girl. She was no longer the child who
had clung to him on the eve of departures for long cruises, asking,
"Take me 'long, Unca Josi?" She had grown to womanhood! He wondered that
the thought had not occurred to him before. And yet, as he continued to
gaze, he saw the eager child staring up into his face from the big
eyes.
"I cal'late I ain't got no right to expect them partings no more," he
faltered.
"Why, Uncle Josiah Pott! I don't like that one little bit."
"You seem so growedweary. She felt just one desire: to get back home. She
took Harold's arm and led him toward the door.
"I want to go home, and I need you to drive the car."
CHAPTER XVII
During the homeward trip Elizabeth was as one in a stupor. When they
reached the brow of the hill above the village, Harold stopped the car.
Elizabeth half turned about in her seat, resting her elbow on the back
above and lifting her hand to her eyes to shade them from the light. She
gazed upon the glory of the western sky where the sun was dropping into
a bed of gold, lavishly splashing the low-hanging clouds with a radiance
that seemed to drip from their edges. A shock suddenly brought her back
to reality with a pain at her heart. Silhouetted against the


together. Tell me what to do. I'm
lost. I don't know which way to turn."
"I must see Uncle Josiah first. He has had time to think a lot, and he
may know how to help us. I'm going to his place to-night."
"By George! You're right. I hadn't thought of going to him. He does know
something about this. He was in my office the other day, and asked a
host of questions. He'll help us if he can. Why not stop there now?"
"Not now. I'm not decent to see any one, or be seen. Please, take me
home."
He threw in the clutch and the car shot down the hill, past a curious
crowd in front of the general store, and on up the knoll into the Fox
estate.
Mr. Fox had not yet returned from Riverhead.You said one should keep
a cool head, but I can't! I can't! I've tried so hard. Oh, Mack--Mr.
McGowan, please help me!"
She finished her broken plea in muffled sobs in the folds of his coat.
He drew her against him till his arms ached. She knew now that she could
make of her love for this man no voluntary offering in order to save her
father humiliation. All afternoon and evening she had been forming that
resolution. But this love that had come to her, pure and undefiled from
the hand of God, could not be denied for the sins of one man, even
though that man be her own father. She felt herself being swept out into
an engulfing current, nor did she wish to stay its overwhelming power.
For the first time that afternoon she


if----"
She gave a dry hysterical laugh. "Try it, if you dare! I know his story.
I know yours, too. Don't you touch me!" she cried, as her father started
toward her. She fled again to the minister. "Don't let him touch me,
Mack!"
Mr. Fox stopped abruptly. He dropped the papers which he had taken from
his pocket. "Beth,--my dear,--have you lost all your senses? What were
you saying?" he barely gasped.
The outer door opened, and Captain Pott entered his house.
CHAPTER XVIII
Captain Pott paused on the threshold. He looked from one to the other of
the occupants of the room. He crossed over and picked up the paper which
the Elder had dropped. He slowly read the contents.
"Ain't breaking in on an experience meeting, be I?" he asked.
"Oh! Uncle Josiah! Tell Father it isn't true!" entreatedHe tapped the corner of the desk. He
opened his mouth, but his anger choked him.
"You make me nervous, Jim. Set down and set still. I ain't going to
speak of the parson right off. Ain't you going to set down? There,
that's better."
The Elder's face was livid.
"I cal'late I'll talk better if I get this thing going," observed the
seaman, lighting his pipe. "Now, Jim, I ain't sartin why I'm going to
talk to you in private like this, but----"
"By God! It's time you're finding out! Your impudence has got beyond all
bounds."
"I wouldn't swear like that. It ain't becoming to one of your position
in the church. Them black scowls and blue cuss-words ain't going to get
you nothing."
"You impudent dog! I thought you were intending to pay me that little
debt, or I should


in my pocket up to
your place that night, but Providence or something kept me from
showing it to you. That old lady had a picture of her darter Emmie,
and it nearly knocked me over when she showed it to me. It was the
same that Mack has here in this frame of his own mother. Take a look at
that picture." He opened a drawer, lifted out a gilt-frame, and passed
a small daguerreotype across to the Elder. "Mack has showed me this
often, and I see that he was a chip off the old block on his mother's
side. But I never dreamed the truth, because of his name." The
Captain's eyes narrowed. "I've been wondering, Jim, if that wa'n't what
went to your head that night he had dinner up there,--seeing the
likeness, all ofJosiah would tell you
everything."
"He did tell me all. I want you to forgive me for not taking your word
that there was nothing in my past which would prevent our love, or mar
it. I didn't realize that you knew what you were saying. I feared that I
had no right to love you after your father had spoken as he did of my
parentage."
With intense anticipation he held out his hands, but she drew away.
"Not now. I did not understand what Father's obligation to you would
involve."
"Elizabeth, dear, do you mean you won't forgive me?"
"I have nothing to forgive in you, Mack." In her eyes was a return of
the warmth of love she felt, but her attitude was one of firm resolve.
"I have come to you to-day because I want to tell


been
sleeping all day. It would make no difference what either of them might
say. I am doing this because it is right."
"You do not know of the arrangements that are to be made?"
"All I know is that Father owes you the money, and that it is yours and
must be paid back to you."
"Elizabeth, there are papers to be drawn up, and----"
"Mack, please don't! I'm tired, and can't stand much. Don't try to
change my decision."
"But those papers which Harold is to draw up must alter that decision.
That is the only ground on which I shall accept the terms. Your father
is to be given all the time he needs to pay me back. At first I flatly
refused. I didn't want to take any of his money. But Uncle Josiah made
me seeof Victor Freda. In contrast, the action here considered is premised on the mortgage transaction itself, totally unrelated to the facts giving rise to the wrong complained of in the state court proceeding. Moreover, while the right to challenge the validity of the mortgage on the grounds that it lacked consideration was available to GTC, see Continental Bank of Pennsylvania v. Barclay Riding Academy, Inc., 93 N.J. 153, 169, 459 A.2d 1163 (1983), since the fraudulent conveyance provisions are intended to set aside an otherwise valid transfer for the benefit of creditors of an insolvent corporation, GTC could not have raised those statutory provisions in this action by way of defense.
The final doctrine of preclusion raised by Barondess is the single, entire controversy or law of the case

It is true that "[t]he trustee in bankruptcy is a successor to the bankrupt's property and for many purposes is deemed in privity with the bankrupt." Edleman v. McMullin Orchards (In the Matter of Silver Mill Frozen Foods, Inc.), 32 B.R. 783, 785 (Bankr. W.D.Mich.1983). See also 1B J. Moore, Moore's Federal Practice ¶ 0.419[3-6] (2d ed. 1983). As stated in Edleman, supra, "[i]t is clear however that privity between a trustee and a bankrupt is not complete." Also see L.M. Ericsson Telecommunications, Inc. v. Teltronics Services, Inc. (In re Teltronics Services, Inc.), 18 B.R. 705 (E.D.N.Y.1982).
As noted in Teletronics Services, supra, at 706, "[s]ubstance rather than form determines thea benefit to the corporation in determining whether the fair consideration requirement had been met.
Similarly, in Hartwell, the owners of a corporation sold the stock to two individuals for $25,000, taking back a security interest in all the assets of the corporation securing the purchasers' note obligation for the entire purchase price. The sellers additionally forgave a debt of $17,622.45 owed to them by the corporation. The court concluded that the benefit received by the corporation for the purpose of the fair consideration test was the forgiveness of the debt. Accordingly, the security interest was deemed a fraudulent conveyance to the extent that it exceeded the value of the benefit. As in Roxbury, the court did not consider the transfer of the stock to the purchasers as consideration


the anti-Islam and anti-immigration ticket, will be the first far-right party to take up seats in the Bundestag in more than 50 years.

Merkel, SPD leader Martin Schulz and other parties’ leaders were frequently criticised for leading boring election campaigns. But the losses to the CDU and the SPD are bigger than polls predicted, and the AfD’s win marks a dramatic change in the German political landscape.

The CDU suffered its biggest ever slide in support between elections, drawing 32.9% of the vote, compared to 41.5% in 2013. The SPD scored its worst ever results. The centre-left party picked up only 20.8% of the vote, down from 25.7% in 2013.

Merkel has been chancellor since 2005, and her win will be celebrated as a sign of stability by many in Brussels.Q:

multivariable non-linear curve_fit with scipy

I have been trying to use scipy.optimize curve_fit using multiple variables. It works fine with the test code I created but when I try to implement this on my actual data I keep getting the following error

TypeError:  only arrays length -1 can be converted to python scalars

The shape of the arrays and the data types of their elements in my test code and actual code are exactly the same so I am confused as to why I get this error.
Test code:
    import numpy as np
    import scipy
    from scipy.optimize import curve_fit

    def func(x,a,b,c):
          return a+b*x[0]**2+c*x[1]


This invention relates in general to microwave transitions, and more particularly, to transitions from a microstrip transmission line medium to a coplanar waveguide transmission line medium.
Microwave modules often combine discrete component circuits with microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs). Microwave modules are also typically designed using microstrip transmission line as the preferred transmission line medium because of its structural simplicity, and because microstrip facilitates engineering and manufacturing operations such as assembly, tuning, and rework.
Integrating MMICs into such a module often does not require transitions from the microstrip in the module to the inputs and outputs of the MMICs at higher microwave frequencies. Typically, the more expensive MMICs designed to operate at these frequencies use microstrip, and wire bonding between the top conductors of the module microstrip and the MMICMMICs can be integrated into a microstrip module assembly.
Lower frequency transition techniques typically employ bondwires to connect the microstrip top conductor with the coplanar waveguide center strip directly from where the module substrate ends to where the MMIC substrate begins. Bondwires are also used to connect the coplanar waveguide outer conductor strips to the grounded module base plate. The module base plate also grounds the backside ground plane of the microstrip. The signal carrying conductors of both transmission lines are connected together with bondwires, as are the ground conductors of both transmission line types. At higher frequencies, the bondwire inductive reactances, become excessively high. Impedance mismatch due to high inductive reactances cause signal reflections which degrade microwave performance.
High frequency transitions from coplanar waveguide to microstrip exist in the


\mathcal{M}_{0}(\underline{\xi}) / G \text{.}$$ The quotient space is also compact.

If the $G$-action on $\mathcal{M}_{0}(\underline{\xi})$ is free and proper (in our situation, properness is automatically satisfied), then the quotient space $\mathcal{M}_{{\mathrm{red}}}(\underline{\xi}) = \mathcal{M}_{0}(\underline{\xi}) / G$ is a smooth manifold. However, in our situation, the $G$-action on $\mathcal{M}_{0}(\underline{\xi})$ is in general not free. Hence in general it follows from the treatment in [@GS] that the quotient space is an orbifold [@HM] rather than a smooth manifold. To avoid this complication, we will make the following assumption.

\[Assume:G3\] The quotient space $\mathcal{M}_{{\mathrm{red}}}(\underline{\xi}) = \mathcal{M}_{0}(\underline{\xi}) / G$ is a smooth compact manifold.

Assumption \[Assume:G3\] is satisfied provided the stabilizer of the action of $G$ at all points in $\mathcal{M}_{0}(\underline{\xi})$ is the identity.

The above assumption will put further restrictions on which $\underline{\xi} \in \mathfrak{t} \times\cdots \times \mathfrak{t}$ we can choose as initial data. Thus we only choose initial data from the following set: $$\mathcal{A}^{\prime} := \left\lbrace \underline{\xi} \in \overbrace{\mathfrak{t} \times \cdots \times \mathfrak{t}}^{N} \  : \  \text{Assumptions \ref{Assume:G1}, \ref{Assume:G2}, and \ref{Assume:G3} hold} \right\rbrace$$

Notice that since the elements in the center of $G$ always act trivially on $\mathcal{M}(\underline{\xi})$ and $\mathcal{M}_{0}(\underline{\xi})$, Assumption \[Assume:G3\] is valid if $PG = G / Z(G)$ acts freely on $\mathcal{M}_{0}(\underline{\xi})$. This happens for $G = \operatorname{SU}(n)$ if all the coadjoint orbits $\mathcal{O}(\xi_{i})$ are generic.

Then, we have the following well known theorem:

The smooth compact manifold $$\mathcal{M}_{{\mathrm{red}}}(\underline{\xi}) = \mathcal{M}_{0}(\underline{\xi}) / G$$ carries a unique symplectic structure $\omega_{{\mathrm{red}}}(\underline{\xi})$ such that $$i^{*} \omega_{\underline{\xi}} = \pi^{*} \omega_{{\mathrm{red}}}(\underline{\xi})$$ where $i: \mathcal{M}_{0}(\underline{\xi}) \hookrightarrow \mathcal{M}(\underline{\xi})$ is the inclusion map and $\pi: \mathcal{M}_{0}(\underline{\xi}) \to \mathcal{M}_{{\mathrm{red}}}(\underline{\xi})$ is

J. Marsden and A. Weinstein, Reduction of symplectic manifolds with symmetry,of glaucoma patients, three adherence measures were studied at both time points T1 and T2: ARMS2, VAS-AD, and missed doses in the past 14 days. The descriptive values of the adherence measure scales are displayed in [Table 1](#t1-ppa-9-017){ref-type="table"}. We found a good correlation among all three adherence measures at both time points T1 and T2 ([Table 2](#t2-ppa-9-017){ref-type="table"}). The mean values of ARMS2 were in the lower range, with 3.38 at T1 and 2.8 at T2. The mean values in ARMS2 did not significantly vary between T1 and T2 (*P*=0.335). In our study group, the most common reason for nonadherence was forgetfulness, reported by 43.8% of patients ([Figure 3](#f3-ppa-9-017){ref-type="fig"}). One third of patients missed doses if they had to apply eye drops more than once a day. Inattentiveness as


detect any significant correlation between visual acuity, visual field defects, or optic disk changes and adherence behavior. However, most of our patients had only early stages of glaucoma, so that few patients of our study group were actually affected by severe visual impairment. Therefore, it remains unclear whether these clinical parameters may influence the adherence behavior of glaucoma patients in general.

Another factor that may influence the adherence behavior is the patients' knowledge about their disease. In the 1970s, Spaeth[@b10-ppa-9-017] observed that patients took their eye drops less often in a correct manner if they were insufficiently knowledgeable about glaucoma. This observation could not be confirmed in the current study. However, it must be taken into account that our patients represented a well-informed group. More than 90% of ouraccording to the "pH piston hypothesis". Since, differently from bases, electrostatic interactions between acids and phospholipids take place at the surface of phospholipid layers (choline moieties), and not near their lipophilic core (phosphate moieties), they were parameterized by a new procedure yielding "Δ'log k(w)(IAM)" parameters, i.e. the difference between the IAM retention factors observed for the analytes and those of neutral compounds with the same n-octanol partition values displayed by the analytes at pH 7.4. All acidic analytes, but one, and all unionized analytes, but the unionizable ones, showed positive Δ'log k(w)(IAM) values, indicating that they partition stronger in phospholipids than in n-octanol. Log BB values (capability to pass BBB) weakly related with both lipophilicity and phospholipid affinity values; in contrast they are inversely related with Δ'log k(w)(IAM)


1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to integrated circuit manufacturing and, more particularly, to the use of flowable oxide (FOX) layers as insulators or barriers for semiconductor devices and the protection of FOX layers from degradation in such applications.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Increases in both performance and manufacturing economy with increased integration density have led to the use of design rules with extremely small feature sizes and closeness of spacing in integrated circuit design. Reduced interconnection length between devices included in integrated circuits generally reduces signal propagation time and increases noise immunity. However, as integrated circuits are scaled to smaller design rules, reductions in wiring delays are diminished by increases in resistance (due to decreased cross-sectional area) and capacitance (due to increased connection proximity).by resist developers, the amount of material which may be removed is not readily controllable and may undercut the resist pattern. Thus, when the FOX is etched, even with a well-controlled etchant, the resulting via shape may be quite distorted and vias will lack uniformity across the chip and possibly be irregularly and unreliably registered with the structures on the chip to which the vias are to form connections. Moisture is similarly damaging to FOX materials.
Therefore, the surface of a FOX material needs to be protected with a further layer of material. One approach to the protection of a FOX layer in a semiconductor is the TaN/Ta system. However, TaN barriers may have very small pinholes exposing the FOX to a metallic conductor, typically copper. Such systems are

Q:

How to tell HR about getting sick leave but not sick?

I sent a message today to our HR informing them that I won't be able to work today and I applied for sick leave because I'm not feeling well. But the fact is I'm not really sick, I don't have a fever or anything.
My only reason is I feel tired today because last night my motorbike stopped working on my way home at around 9 PM and I needed to fix it on the road. After hours fixing and the fact I just left the office, I feel totally exhausted. So I decided that I'll be needing a long rest and also bring my motorbike to mechanic for proper check.
Now, I would like to write a follow-up message,
