To allow for an immigration of native individuals at rate $\gamma'$, we modify by adding an immigration term analogous to the introduction term in :

Introduction The proportion of college and university presidents who are women continues to rise. However, while women are relatively well represented within community colleges, they are significantly underrepresented as presidents of four-year institutions, especially major research universities. Many reasons for this disparity have been suggested, one

in the nationwide inflation directly affecting the middle and the lower middle class. The result is the deterioration of the entire economy of the country. Due to ever high electricity load shedding, the use of diesel run electricity generators has increased in houses and industries resulting in the increased consumption of diesel. Due to the external forces and international impacts on the economy of Pakistan, it is very difficult now for the government to afford more subsidies on petroleum products. However, the rates of diesel need to be managed by the government in order to ensure economic sustainability across the country.

In a dispute over migration, Trump said he would introduce punitive tariffs on June 10 if Mexico does not halt the flow of illegal immigration from Central America, battering the currency of Latin America’s second-largest economy.

The Mexican peso lost as much as 3.62% on Friday in early trading, touching its worst level so far this year before erasing some losses. It was the deepest drop since Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador abruptly canceled a $13 billion airport project in October.

[@alar13; @berr13] that there are three components that contribute to the current in graphene nFETs: thermionic transmision in the energy regime higher than the gate-induced potential barrier, chiral tunneling through the barrier, and band-to-band tunneling taking place between the valence band in the source and the conduction band in the drain. While the band-to-band tunneling has an important contribution at high $V_{ds}$ which leads to a poor current saturation, the contribution of two other components results in a high OFF current (low ON/OFF current ratio) in gapless graphene devices. The use of a gapped graphene channel is hence necessary to solve these issues. We first focus on the possibility of using a strained/unstrained graphene channel to improve the performance of graphene nFETs. We find as displayed in Fig.explained as follows. In fact, the transport modes $k_y$ that contribute significantly to the current are the values $k_y$ in/around the range from $K_{unstrain}$ to $K_{strain}$ (see in the inset of Fig. 2(b)). Far from this range to the left and to the right, the energy gap ${E_{gap}}\left( {{k_y}} \right)$ in the strained (source and half of the gated zone) and unstrained (drain and half of the gated zone) graphene sections, respectively, is too large, which suppresses very strongly the corresponding current component even in the ON state. Close to $k_y = K_{unstrain}$ or $K_{strain}$, the energy gap mentioned is still large but the corresponding current component starts to have a significant contribution to the ON current while it remains almost negligible in the OFF state. For other


tuning strongly the non-linearity of the $I-V_{ds}$ curves using the gate voltage. It also results in a strong effect of current rectification around $V_{ds} = 0$, as clearly seen in the inset of Fig. 6. These non-linear effects can offer great potential for applications such as oscillator, frequency multiplier, fast switching [@mizu95], in non-Boolean logic circuits recently proposed [@gliu13], and in rectifier circuits.

Conclusion
==========

In summary, we have investigated the strain effects on the transport properties of unstrained/strained graphene heterostructures and considered the possibility of using such heterostructures to improve the performance of graphene transistors. It was shown that due to the deformation of electronic bandstructure, the mismatch between transport modes having different effective energy gaps in strained/unstrained sections results in a finite conduction gap in these graphene hetero-channels.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY), Peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptides (PPs) belong to the same peptide family called the Y or NPY family. Central and peripheral injections of these peptides are implicated in the regulation of food intake at the level of the hypothalamus (central effects; increased food intake) and dorsal vagal complex (DVC) (peripheral effects; decreased food intake). The DVC of the brainstem is a satiety reflex key region, which includes the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), area postrema (AP) and dorso motor nucleus of the vagus (DMX). NPY binding sites were quantified on serial DVC sections using in vitro receptor autoradiography in two feeding adaptation models: fasting and inflammatory anorexia. Receptor autoradiography

Ghrist assumes his students - who hail from Santa Barbara to Sri Lanka - have a strong math background.

"You're about to dive into one of the loftiest achievements of human thought," Ghrist says in his opening remarks for the course in the warm, measured cadence of someone on public radio.

He is not wrong. Calculus is a vital tool in too many realms of human endeavor to count: building bridges, snapping digital photos, measuring which medicines cure the sick, sending rockets into space. But most people never take it, and when they do, Ghrist fears they are not taught in a way that allows them to grasp the underlying concepts.

He aims to change that with his videos,some of the multiple-choice questions called for more than one answer, which Ghrist acknowledged when I asked him later.

Had I known that, I would have gotten at least 9 of 12 - honest! Then I moved on to one of the actual calculus problems, and got it right. Haven't done calculus since studying engineering at Dartmouth College. Phew!

It is fun to feel part of a huge international experiment. The students clearly agree. Discussion forums indicate they range in age from nine to their mid-70s, from professionals seeking an edge to those who find math fun.

The recent endorsement by the American Council on Education means some colleges will accept Ghrist's course for credit, provided students pay for a third-party service to verify, identity, and proctor the exam. The fee


zebrafish have shown that human BBS3L is sufficient to suppress the *bbs3* aug MO-induced vision defect ([@DDR039C38]). Since patients with the BBS3 A89V mutation present with only retinitis pigmentosa, we sought to functionally test the role of this mutation in vision by co-injecting *BBS3L* and *BBS3L A89V* RNA in *bbs3* knockdown embryos. Visual function was evaluated by using a natural escape response that is elicited when zebrafish embryos are exposed to rapid changes in light intensity ([@DDR039C38],[@DDR039C46]). In the vision startle assay, an embryos response to five short blocks in bright light are monitored and recorded. Visually responsive embryos change swimming directions in response to short blocks of bright light (Fig. [3](#DDR039F3){ref-type="fig"}A). Wild-type embryos respond on average 3.77 times (Fig. [3](#DDR039F3){ref-type="fig"}B). Cone-rod homeobox (*crx*) gene knockdown was used as aabrogates the interaction of BBS3 with a retina specific modifier and/or retina specific binding partner. Mutations in another BBS gene, *CEP290*, also result in phenotypic variation. This gene has been implicated in numerous diseases, in particular BBS and isolated blindness ([@DDR039C52]). While this gene has been implicated in several syndromic diseases, a mouse model for *Cep290*, the rd16 mouse in which a few exons of the gene are missing, only manifests early onset retinal degeneration ([@DDR039C53]). Moreover, additional splice isoforms are predicted for *Cep290* and western blot analysis supports the notion that there are retina specific isoforms ([@DDR039C53]). These observations for BBS8, Cep290 and now BBS3 indicate that mutations need to be evaluated in the context of both isoform and tissue specificity. Moreover, this study highlights the importance

requests contact information for a member’s family is, “[b]ecause once you leave the

your family.” Jimenez had never seen anyone fill out such a form. Jimenez testified

that even though appellant was an “associate,” he had more “say so” and access to

cooperating HPL members would be “killed”; counsel objected to a question regarding

whether Segura would be “look[ing] over [his] shoulder.” Similarly, Jimenez had already

testified that when an HPL member leaves the gang, he is “a dead man”; counsel

objected to a question regarding what retaliatory action the gang would take to prevent

members from testifying against the gang.        Appellant’s objections were therefore

untimely and any claim of error is forfeited. See id. Moreover, we note that similar

evidence was admitted without objection. See Estrada, 313 S.W.3d at 302 n.29. At

another point in Segura’s testimony, the prosecutor questioned him about his

agreement with the State to testify. Segura was asked, “So, at that point, you were

   By his fourth issue, appellant contends that the prosecutor engaged in improper

jury argument when, referring to the State’s covert and accomplice witnesses’

testimony, he stated, “And beyond that deal [between the witness and the State], what

do you have? Virtually, their death sentence, if they’re caught.” Appellant argues that

this statement inappropriately bolstered the testimony of the State’s witnesses.

       The State argues that appellant failed to preserve any issue because he did not

object to the prosecutor’s statements at trial.   We agree.     The record reflects that

defense counsel did not object to the referenced statement or any other statement

made by the prosecutor during his closing argument. A defendant’s failure to object to a

jury argument forfeits his right tospoke with Roger Tushingham of Rogers Corporation about the company’s current priorities with everything that’s been changing recently, including his perspective on the distributing and manufacturing trends he sees as a global supplier.

or other regional forms of government may be natural partners for the dissemination of registry results. However, trauma registry stewards should also consider community-based organizations (CBOs) or civil service organizations (CSOs), especially in areas where politics and governance are turbulent and prone to change. Prior research in Uganda has highlighted these organizations as key stakeholders in knowledge translation efforts, as they are well situated to represent and advocate for the communities they serve.[@R33] Moreover, because of their position in these communities, CSOs and CBOs often have a unique understanding of how prevention and mitigation initiatives would most effectively be implemented given the social, economic, and cultural context of their communities and mobilize resources accordingly.[@R33] Finally, reports and analyses should be communicated to these stakeholders in a manner thatmissing or incomplete data and lack of trauma registry standardization. This section discusses these challenges and proposes several solutions to address these issues.

Challenges {#s3-1}
----------

Regardless of context, missing or incomplete data seems to be among the most commonly reported challenges of trauma registry operation in LMICs.[@R18] Moreover, it seems to be most problematic for data collected on the process of care and outcome of the injured patient in the post-injury phase, and least problematic for data collected on demographics and the pre-injury phase.[@R35] For example, in the implementation of a femur fracture registry at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Ghana, the percentage of completed data was highest (\>77%) for those fields collected soon after patient admission (ie, pre-injury phase data), such as gender, home region, date of injury, and


financially feasible option than ever before.[@R51] In Pakistan, development and implementation of an electronic charting system for the Karachi Trauma Registry cost US\$9600 and was achieved using local resources only.[@R38] Another electronic charting system in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, reported the upfront cost of implementation at US\$15 720.[@R49] Typically, hardware and software costs are what often come to mind when implementing electronic data collection; however, other expenses like technician salaries, security, and the cost of operating a temperature-controlled server room also drive up costs and must be factored in. Though these costs are relatively low in the world of healthcare budgets, we recognize that they still may be out of reach for some lower-resource settings with competing healthcare priorities.

In addition to cost, there exist many other considerations for the effectiveEfficacy of recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) in patients with advanced HIV-1 infection and blunted immune response to HAART.
The efficacy of recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) was assessed in HIV-infected patients with advanced immune suppression and a discordant immune response to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The primary endpoint was median change in CD4+ T-cell counts at the end of treatment as compared to baseline. Secondary endpoints were safety and changes in the various T-cell subpopulations. In a prospective cohort study, 19 patients with HIV-RNA < 50 copies/mL and < 200 CD4+ T cells/mm3 without a significant increase in the previous 12 months were scheduled to receive 6 cycles of 4.5 x 10(6) IU subcutaneous rIL-2 daily for 5 consecutive days, every 4 weeks.

The importance of olive oil as a commercial commodity increased after the Roman conquest of Egypt, Greece and Asia Minor led to more trade along the Mediterranean. Olive trees were planted throughout the entire Mediterranean basin during evolution of the Roman Republic and Empire. According to the historian Pliny the Elder, Italy had "excellent olive oil at reasonable prices" by the 1st century AD—"the best in the Mediterranean". As olive production expanded in the 5th century AD the Romans began to employ more sophisticated production techniques like the olive press and trapetum (pictured left). Many ancient presses still exist in the Eastern Mediterranean region, and some datingper year; Spain and Italy, around 14 l; Tunisia, Portugal, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, around 8 l. Northern Europe and North America consume far less, around 0.7 l, but the consumption of olive oil outside its home territory has been rising steadily.

Regulation

The International Olive Council (IOC) is an intergovernmental organisation of states that produce olives or products derived from olives, such as olive oil. The IOC officially governs 95% of international production and holds great influence over the rest. The EU regulates the use of different protected designation of origin labels for olive oils.

The United States is not a member of the IOC and is not subject to its authority, but on October 25, 2010, the U.S. Department of Agriculture adopted new voluntary olive oil grading standards that closely parallel

Very often in anoestrous situations LH, if secreted at all, is released in a random, disorganized pattern of pulses. Once appropriate pulses of LH are released, any Graafian follicles present will grow in the ovary and upon progesterone withdrawal a normal follicular phase will continue \[[@B9]\].

\[[@B17]\] reported a significant increase of plasma progesterone in ovariectomized cows after administration of 10 and 500 *μ*g ACTH-analogue (tetracosactid). In addition \[[@B4]\] demonstrated a significant increase of plasma progesterone in ovariectomized zebu cows after the administration of 6 *μ*g of tetracosactid.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an early post partum treatment with tetracosactid on the synthesis and release of steroids (cortisol and progesterone) from the adrenals


and on the PGF~2α~release, evaluating, in turn, the effect on the resumption of ovarian cyclicity in primiparous dairy cows after induction of parturition with PGF~2α~.

Materials and methods
=====================

The study was conducted in 3 primiparous cows. Two Swedish Red and White breed cows (A and B) and 1 Swedish Friesian breed cow (C) were brought to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology about one month before the date of expected parturition. The cows were housed in individual pens and fed ad libitum according to Swedish standard \[[@B15]\].

At 268 days of pregnancy the cows were treated twice with 25 mg i.m. PGF~2α~(Dinolytic, Pharmacia & Upjohn, Puurs, Belgium) 24 h apart. Starting on day 12 post partum (PP) the cows were treated with 500 *μ*g i.m. of tetracosactid (Synachten^®^, Novartis Pharma, Basel,levels between 3.5 and 9.4 nmol/l from day 14 until day 23 after parturition and then, P4 dropped to \<0.7 nmol/l from day 24 to day 30 (Fig. [2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}). Then, P4 levels rose to values between 3.4 and 25.6 nmol/l from day 31 to day 49 and dropped to \<2.4 nmol/l from day 50 to the end of the study. In cow B from day 14 to day 24 the P4 levels were \<1.7 nmol/l. From day 25 they rose to values of P4 between 3.6 and 16.2 until day 35 and then they dropped to \<1.9 nmol/l in the next 6 days. Then the P4 level rose again to values between 3.1 and 16.9 nmol/l from day 42 to the end of the study. In cow C


higher milk yield compared with the others (30 vs 15 l/day).

Considering that \[[@B6]\], reported that no ovulation were seen during the first 40 days PP in cows after induction of parturition with PGF~2α~, it could be anticipated that the tetracosactid administration could influence the onset of ovarian cyclicity (18 and 28 days PP). Nevertheless, it seems difficult to evaluate in which way the administration with tetracosactid could have affected the onset of ovarian cyclicity because of the different pattern of response to the treatment. In conclusion, we consider that the possible influence of tetracosactid administration on the onset of ovarian cyclicity in post partum primiparous dairy cows should be an interesting subject for further studies.

Corliss, "a friend of [Hunter S.] Thompson who also starred in Terry Gilliam’s movie of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Bruce Robinson’s film of Thompson’s The Rum Diary. In 1998, Depp and Thompson visited the TIME offices and raised some merry hell (or so I’m told; I wasn’t invited). After Thompson’s death, Depp funded the funeral service: shooting the writer’s ashes from a cannon to the accompaniment of 'Mr. Tambourine Man' (the Bob Dylan song to which the Las Vegas book was partly dedicated). Among the mourner-celebrants were Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, Bill Murray, Charlie Rose and Ralph Steadman.

"Depp’s appearance in the doc, however appreciated, doesn’t bring much but the patronage of a famous, friendly dude. Nor is Paul quite up to the challenge of synopsizinggeometry with area $1.8\times 10^4$ $\mu$m$^2$. The depth of the 2D electron layer was 200 nm. A highly doped ($1\times
10^{18}$ cm$^{-3}$ Si) layer with thickness 100 nm was buried in the bulk of GaAs, at a distance 5 $\mu$m from the interface. This layer remained well-conducting at low temperatures and served as a back electrode. A 200 nm low-temperature grown GaAs (LT-GaAs) layer between the back gate and the 2D electron layer was used to block leakage currents. The Fermi level in this layer is pinned near the midgap, which results in the formation of a Schottky barrier between $n$-GaAs and LT-GaAs [@maranowski95]. A metallic front gate was deposited onto the surface of the sample. The presence of gates allowed variation of both the electron density and the confining potential by applying a dc

Schmult, Phys. Rev. B [**83**]{}, 041307(R) (2011). In the study of the electron spin resonance in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures (H. W. Jiang and E. Yablonovitch, Phys. Rev. B [**64**]{}, 041307(R) (2001)), the authors disregarded the size-quantization energy in their estimate of the $g$ factor change due to nonparabolicity. As a result, the nonparabolicity effects were strongly underestimated. In fact, these effects yield a change of $g$ that is comparable to the $g$ factor change observed in that experiment. The uncertainty in the value $\Delta g$ is determined by the experimental uncertainty of the energy $W$ which is about 10% [@dobers88; @nefyodov11]. This corresponds to the $\approx2$% accuracy in the change of the spin transition field. The correctionIn March of 2015, The Knack…and How To Get It screened in Nimes, France for their British Screen Festival. During the introduction, director Richard Lester spoke on the experience of making the film, saying his previous movie (A Hard Day’s Night) was essentially “about four people who communicated without speaking and [The Knack was] about four people who speak without communicating. The original stage play was very much more, as we say, fascist versus liberal, it was a more political piece. In my usual fashion of ruining a good play or a good book, I quickly tried to turn the fascist into a figure of pity and scorn. So the strongest character quickly became the weakest.”

The Knack…and How To Get It is a difficult piece for many to


engage in, even if it is a comedy. But that is one of the reasons it remains such a fascinating work. This swingin’ London-drenched film is funny and whimsical in the manner of Help! or A Hard Day’s Night, while also quilting the intellectual and emotional power struggles of the youth and working class, a familiar tool of British New Wave cinema. If that weren’t enough, woven into the verbiage, visuals and characters of the film are discussions of sexual freedom, women’s liberation and male domination, all highly topical in 1964.

The vast majority of the British New Wave was nicknamed “angry young men” films or “Kitchen Sink films” (mostly due to the kind of social realism that it utilized). One might’ve assumed that this adaptation of Ann Jellicoe’sBBG and SB203580 groups (n=12 for each group) were treated with BBG or SB203580 following LPS administration. A total of six rats were included in the control group and were administered with 0.5 µl phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) injections.

The preparation and administration of BBG, the P2X7R antagonist, were performed according to previously described procedures ([@b21-mmr-15-02-0768]). The BBG (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck Millipore) was dissolved in saline and injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 50 mg/kg 1 h prior to administering the LPS injection. The same dose was administered for 15 days (BBG injection administered 1 h prior to LPS). It has previously been reported that this BBG treatment protocol is effective at inhibiting LPS-induced inflammatory reactions in rat brains ([@b34-mmr-15-02-0768]).

In order to investigate the role of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway


brains were processed into 30 µm slices via cryostat sectioning. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactivity was determined using an avidin-biotin-peroxidase method. To inhibit endogenous peroxidase activity, the sections were incubated for 30 min in 1% H~2~O~2~ solution. These sections were then blocked with 5% (v/v) normal goat serum in PBS for 1 h. Subsequently; the sections were incubated overnight with rabbit anti-TH polyclonal antibody (cat. no. 2792; 1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA) at 4°C. The brain sections were then incubated with biotinylated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (cat. no. A0277; 1:500, Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China) for 2 h at room temperature. Subsequently, the brain sections were incubated with avidin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase for 1 h at 37°C. The sections were then incubated with the peroxidase substrate, diaminobenzidine,nigra of a rat model of PD. The loss of DA neurons, which was caused by LPS injection, was assessed immunohistochemically by counting TH-immunoreactive (TH-ir) neurons in the substantia nigra ([Fig. 1](#f1-mmr-15-02-0768){ref-type="fig"}). Compared with the sham control group, there was a significant reduction (P\<0.001) in the number of TH-ir nerve cells 15 days following injury of DA neurons in the rats treated with LPS (PBS group, 5,068±470; LPS group, 2,249±492). An intranigral injection of LPS reduced TH-ir neurons in the substantia nigra by \~55.6%, however, those in the adjacent ventral tegmental area were spared ([Fig. 1A](#f1-mmr-15-02-0768){ref-type="fig"}). Treating the LPS-treated animals with BBG partially reversed the reduction of TH-ir neurons on the lesion side. The loss of TH-ir neurons in the substantia nigra was initially 2,249±492 neurons following induction


were positive for Iba-1, and were distributed in the ventral tegmental area, SNpc and substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNpr). In the substantia nigra of the PBS-injected control animals, Iba-1-ir cells had elongated nuclei and ramifying processes, which are typical of inactivated microglia.

By performing quantitative analysis of the IOD values of P2X7R ([Fig. 2B](#f2-mmr-15-02-0768){ref-type="fig"}) and Iba-1 ([Fig. 2C](#f2-mmr-15-02-0768){ref-type="fig"}), it was found that the IOD of P2X7R-ir was significantly increased by 962% in the substantia nigra of the LPS-treated rats. By contrast, the IOD values of P2X7R-ir decreased by 80.5 and 56% in the substantia nigra of BBG- and SB203580-treated LPS-injected rats, respectively ([Fig. 2B](#f2-mmr-15-02-0768){ref-type="fig"}; P\<0.05). At 15 days post-LPS injection, the experimental rats exhibited a 3.25-fold increase in the density of Iba-1 in the substantia nigra, compared with thep-p38 MAPK ([Fig. 3A](#f3-mmr-15-02-0768){ref-type="fig"}; red) and the microglial marker Iba-1 ([Fig. 3A](#f3-mmr-15-02-0768){ref-type="fig"}; green). The immunohistochemical analysis showed that, compared with the PBS-injected control animals, the activated microglia increased the expression levels of p-p38-MAPK in rats administered with LPS. Therefore, quantitative analysis of IOD values of p-p38 MAPK ([Fig. 3B](#f3-mmr-15-02-0768){ref-type="fig"}) was performed. The analysis revealed that the IOD for p-p38-ir was significantly increased by 845% in the substantia nigra of the LPS-treated rats, whereas the same parameter decreased by 77.9 and 88.7% in the BBG- and SB203580-treated LPS-induced rats, respectively ([Fig. 3B](#f3-mmr-15-02-0768){ref-type="fig"}; P\<0.05). Compared with the controls, the density of Iba-1 in the substantia nigra of the experimental rats was increased by 3.62-fold 15 days post LPS injection ([Fig. 3C](#f3-mmr-15-02-0768){ref-type="fig"}; P\<0.05). BBG and SB203580 were effective in reducing the


MAPK activation. Therefore, the inhibition of P2X7R in the LPS-injected rats was neuroprotective as it reduced p38 MAPK activation and the loss of DA neurons.

Several studies have suggested that P2X7R is present in striatal DA terminals ([@b23-mmr-15-02-0768]) and astroglial cells ([@b48-mmr-15-02-0768]), indicating that P2X7R-mediated neurotoxicity is linked to microglial activation. Other studies have reported that microglia are a crucial contributing factor, which governs the ability of P2X7R in controlling neurotoxicity ([@b23-mmr-15-02-0768],[@b24-mmr-15-02-0768],[@b42-mmr-15-02-0768],[@b43-mmr-15-02-0768]). In the present study, it was found that P2X7R was upregulated in microglial cells following LPS-induced microgliosis; however, BBG attenuated microgliosis. These findings support the hypothesis that the localization of P2X7R on microglia is linked to its ability to control the function of microglial cells.

In conclusion, the present study showed that the increased expression of p38 MAPKproductions of Hollywood studios".
 Istanbul mayor Kadir Topbaş told the Associated Press that the movie "was very successful — a soldier's honor must never be damaged".
 The reception in the Turkish media was split. Some called it a milestone for the Turkish film industry — others warned the movie might lead to a strengthening of religious extremism.
 Mehmet Ali Birand, a prominent Turkish columnist and anchorman, said he admired the filmmakers. "They have played with the inner feelings, unsatisfied feelings of Turkish public opinion, and they are making money."

 In Germany, the home of European Union's largest Turkish community, the film was heavily criticized for its alleged racism and antisemitism by several politicians from both the right and left ends of the spectrum of mainstream German politics


necessary, the `OnPlatform` markup extension will attempt to perform it using the default converters provided by Xamarin.Forms. However, there are some type conversions that can't be performed by the default converters and in these cases the `Converter` property should be set to an `IValueConverter` implementation.

The **OnPlatform Demo** page shows how to use the `OnPlatform` markup extension:

```xaml
<BoxView Color="{OnPlatform Yellow, iOS=Red, Android=Green, UWP=Blue}"
         WidthRequest="{OnPlatform 250, iOS=200, Android=300, UWP=400}"
         HeightRequest="{OnPlatform 250, iOS=200, Android=300, UWP=400}"
         HorizontalOptions="Center" />
```

In this example, all three `OnPlatform` expressions use the abbreviated version of the `OnPlatformExtension` class name. The three `OnPlatform` markup extensions set the [`Color`](xref:Xamarin.Forms.BoxView.Color), [`WidthRequest`](xref:Xamarin.Forms.VisualElement.WidthRequest), and [`HeightRequest`](xref:Xamarin.Forms.VisualElement.HeightRequest) properties of thetext is green in light mode, and red in dark mode."

        <Label Text="This text is black by default, blue in light mode, and teal in dark mode."
               Style="{StaticResource labelStyle}" />
    </StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
```

In this example, the text color of the first [`Label`](xref:Xamarin.Forms.Label) is set to green when the device is using its light theme, and is set to red when the device is using its dark theme. The second `Label` has its [`TextColor`](xref:Xamarin.Forms.Label.TextColor) property set through a [`Style`](xref:Xamarin.Forms.Style). This `Style` sets the text color of the `Label` to

and American economies. When Mexico approved NAFTA in 1992, President Salinas abolished a provision in the Mexican constitution that protected the traditional small Mexican farmers from competition with corporate agribusiness, particularly American corporations. This proved disastrous for those farmers, whose chief staple was corn—a crop with deep historic roots in Mexico. For centuries even before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, Mayan farmers had cultivated corn in their milpas, the small acreages that farmers cleared out of the local landscapes so they could cultivate corn, beans, and squash. Over the ensuing centuries, small farms had remained one of the staples of the Mexican economy. Now, thanks to the arrival of American agribusiness under the banner of NAFTA, that way of life was being rubbed out.

Cheap American corn putto one of the old border-crossing towns—Nogales or Ciudad Juarez—and there contract the services of a coyote, or guide, who would take them out into the countryside and across the border and hook them up with transit to wherever their destination might be. As the tide rose and the crackdown increased, the prices for these services started to rise as crossing the border became harder and harder work.

One coyote told a documentary filmmaker in 2006 that the crackdowns had continually made his work more hazardous and expensive: “U.S. border security has been tough,” he said, describing how he used to just take border crossers to a spot a little outside of town and help them get over, but those days were long gone. “I used to work two


even his local critics admitted that he was onto something legitimate. One of these was Pat Call, the Cochise County supervisor who sponsored the resolution condemning Simcox’s plans. At the same time, he told local reporters that he shared Simcox’s view that the federal government has been derelict in its responsibilities along the border. The county’s resolution “demands that the federal government recognize and take responsibility, fiscal and otherwise, for problems associated with illegal immigration.”

Call admitted that there was at least a germ of good in the attention Simcox attracted to the problem, but he wanted the world to know that the average resident of Cochise County did not favor taking the law into his or her own hands. “If we’re viewed that way, it’ll be a lotthe audience. “There’s something very fishy going on at the border. The Mexican army is driving American vehicles—but carrying Chinese weapons. I have personally seen what I can only believe to be Chinese troops.”

Simcox also began sounding other radical notes. He told Nikolaj Vijborg, a Danish documentary filmmaker, “Those guys [D.C. politicians] need to be, you know, lynched. If we’re attacked again, then we need some vigilanteism. Then we need some going into Washington, pulling them out of their offices, kicking them out of office. We need revolution.”

His attitudes about Latino immigrants were also unmistakable: “They’re trashing their neighborhoods, refusing to assimilate, standing on street corners, jeering at little girls walking on their way to school,” he told the CCIR gathering.

Simcox similarly remarked of Mexicans and Central American

And so, in blind-sided obstinacy and a mad rush of fury, he filled several bags with his clothes and toiletries, put the house key in the letterbox and left Eric, a day after the confession.

My father's old journals came at a time when I was going through a long writing drought, with my story ideas running dry and empty. Nothing I wrote during this period made any sense to me, and I had to kill a few short stories off inback into his room, switched on the portable fan and plopped himself down on his bed.

'Just stay out of it. I don't want to hear anything more,' he said, glaring at me. I ventured into his room and sat on the rotary chair beside his study table. Bills and bank account statements were scattered all over his table.

'Did you know Ma went through a long depression after the miscarriage?' Tommy said. 'Pa wrote it in his journal.'

'Yes, I read about it,' I replied. The doctor said it was post-natal depression. My mother never recovered from it, according to what my father had written. He detailed every sign and action from my mother in his journals, and it was a painstaking, exacting account. 'Hey, are you alright? Don't tell


me…'

Tommy cut me off swiftly: 'Don't be crazy! I'm okay la.'

'Just making sure. Anyway Pa had a hard time dealing with what was happening too,' I said.

Tommy straightened up on his bed, and cracked his knuckles. He put his hand on the journal lying on the bedcover.

'Why did you think they decided to have us after the miscarriage?' he asked.

'Pa said they just wanted to try again, to get over the whole incident,' I said. 'It's in the later journals.' Tommy was born three years after our dead older brother, and for me, two years after Tommy.

'I still don't understand why they didn't tell us about this,' he said. Nothing was written in the journals to answer the question. I searched the pages thoroughly, reading each passage, translatingtwo data sets can be determined and estimated. To construct the CRP pattern between GSF and SN for the ESC signal, the embedding dimension of three, which was calculated by many authors, is used. Fox example, studied the dynamical behavior of sunspot activity by the nonlinear theory, and found that an embedding dimension equal to three is sufficient to reveal its dynamical structure. To investigate the nonlinear dynamical behavior of the polar faculae and sunspot activity for the time interval from 1951 August to 1998 December, [@2016AJ....151....2D] used several nonlinear time series analysis approaches, and found that both the high- and the low-latitude solar activity are governed by a three-dimensional chaotic attractor. Another important parameter for constructing the CRP pattern is the time delay, which was estimated to

Betty Shelby (left) has been charged with first-degree manslaughter after shooting unarmed black man Terence Crutcher (right) dead

Crutcher, 40, pictured with his twin sister, Tiffany, was shot dead while his arms were in the air

She said that they hope the district attorney vigorously prosecutes the case and obtains a conviction.

Tiffany added that she hopes a criminal conviction will help bring an end to the killing of innocent citizens by police.

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said she hopes a first-degree manslaughter charge against Shelby provides some peace to the man's family and to the people of Tulsa.

In a statement Thursday, Fallin complimented Tulsa's police chief, mayor, district attorney and citizens for helping toof your pocket while you're talking to me. Let's deal with his car.'

He then pulled his hand away and put his hands up in the air, even though he was not instructed to do so.

Wood said that his client also found this odd.

People hold signs at a 'protest for justice'. Around 100 people gathered at the scene of the shooting earlier this week

When Shelby tried to talk to Crutcher, he just mumbled in response, Wood claims.

By around this point, Shelby, a drug recognition expert, believed Crutcher was 'on something,' Wood said.

Shelby radioed in that she had a subject 'who is not following commands.' She out her gun and told Crutcher to get on his knees, Wood said.

She pulled out a gun instead of a Taser because she thought

Some show some solid, top selling games. Here's our list of top sellers at Black Diamond Games for the last six months.

Rather than just list a bunch of games, I'm putting an asterisk next to a game if it shows up in a holiday board game article or a top games of 2015 article, along with games featured on Tabletop. More asterisks means it's on more lists. Games with asterisks are definitely games worth checking out.

This is an interesting year for board game sales, as we're seeing a huge variety of games sold; lots of breadth and not the usual amount of depth. Some highly reviewed games have sold zero copies for us, so don't make our list. Other games are


people not wearing enough hats. So with all this suffering, how do we provide a solution? How do we come to a cathartic conclusion that brings happiness to our deeply conflicted customer, wracked with an endless loop of suffering?

We demonstrate what we provide has value connected with their life. We bridge the gap of their desired price and their perceived value. Although it may appear we sell the same thing as Amazon, we sell something different; more. We show them buying from us supports the local community where they live, not just the community of like minded gamers, but by supporting us, they help provide for the roads, schools, police and services that sustain them every day.

We demonstrate that the convenience they find maddeningly attractive is not withoutthe case of a very popular book, it can be 3-8 copies. We'll get to that at the end.

The 3,507 RPG titles we no longer carry couldn't maintain that "3" sell through rate. That's just a fact of retail life. If you've ever wondered why a Wal-Mart or a Target doesn't carry RPGs or at least more than a reasonable selection, it's because they need eight or more turns on each product. Less than 10% of our titles achieve that.

352 titles, or 71% of our RPGs, sell less than 3 turns a year. The vast majority of RPG products under perform. You might wonder why we bother carrying them with such poor performance metrics. The reason is the top 29% round out the numbers, bringing the overall total


More than one retailer has talked to me about losing their soul over this. Losing your soul, crushing your spirit, leads to burying bodies in the desert. It at least leads to contemplating it. Also, nobody will understand this, except other retailers. Not your wife, your kids other non-retailer business owners. There's just that fraternity of bat wielding retailers who understand.

There is no justice here, by the way. The police are not interested in your petty crimes. We had a shoplifter on site and the cop showed up (an hour later) and asked me what I wanted to do about it. By the way, he said, nobody is going to jail. In other words, he would mediate a solution that did not involve him using his law enforcementcapacity. When society decides victimization is the cost of doing business, well, you buy a shovel.

Don't take this personally, people will tell you. It's the cost of doing business. I don't agree. Those are just some words people say to keep you out of the hardware store. With more of retail going towards big, corporate owned stores, many people believe it's just the cost of doing business. Thieves like to think that. It's why people don't take shoplifting seriously. They'll joke with me about the stuff they stole as kids, as if I would find that amusing. It's sticking it to the man. Yeah, Wal Mart and Target have 3% profit margins, but those CEOs! They make millions! Stick it to the man. It's the cost of doing


to let these women be. They are not there for the amusement of men or for eye candy. They are there to do a job, an authentic job, next to men who do the same job. Captive female employees should simply be off limits. Hitting on them or questioning their authenticity (Do you even play games?) is oafish and offensive.

I shouldn't have to justify why women work in a game store, but I will mention they bring a wide variety of skills and perspectives that my male employees (and myself) lack. Unfortunately, with a 75% male clientele, they have to put up with constant grief to contribute.

Thank you, and next Thursday will be a minimum day and remember, no peanut butter.

REI is sending their employeesadding additional locations, moving to a larger location, messing with speculative product lines, or diversifying in various ways, mostly, and few will admit this, because it's challenging and entertaining. Stupid decisions based on stagnant growth are the Peter Principle of business, when every company rises to the level of their incompetence.

So what to do? There is no answer here. Those who can be successful in business, large and small, are driven. When they read The Four Hour Work Week, they have no desire to implement process and procedure so they can sit on a beach, they do it so they can implement process and procedure on the Next Thing. I've talked with my business owner friends about this, and we're in similar situations. Quite done with business number


I would happily buy used fixtures and do what I could to spruce them up, repaint them or whatever. The nicer your store, which often means matching, high quality fixtures, the more people from the general public (not just hobbyists) will shop with you. If I were starting a new store, I would figure 10-15% of my non inventory budget for store fixtures.

Before You Buy. Layout your store. Consider buying your fixtures in stages. My first layout had too many fixtures because I didn't understand traffic patterns well enough and didn't budget for additional space needed to navigate the store. By the time I was doing my fourth or fifth layout, I had it down. You also don't need fixtures if you don't have product yet to putI have committed to making weekly blog posts at least and possibly more once I get my schedule down . New content will be things like event after videos , project diary’s and postmortems, some very useful how to videos and hopefully inspirational artist showcases and content from around the world of visuals.

Today I present one of my handouts that I give to my first day Vj workshop students to help them start wrapping their heads around what we do as VJs and what they can do hopefully inspiring them to dive in and let the new ideas flow . This is slightly dated now but have a look and then let your imagination go wherever you like. Anything is possible lets make it happen !

Inside the TALAS assembly outer tube, there was a little tiny o-ring with a tear in it. Once this was replaced it worked again. I ordered the TALAS assembly rebuild kit, which comes with all of the necessary o-rings. I also replaced the other o-rings for good measure. It sounds like you may be having a similar problem with your TALAS cart.

As for the rebound issue, that doesn't sound like it would be related to the TALAS air spring. That seems like it might be a problem with your dampening cartridge in the other fork leg, as this is the cartridge that controls rebound and compression. I'm not sure, but it sounds like you might be having problems with both the air


spring, and the cartridge.

Thank for your fast response!

Why I think the slow rebound could be a side effect of the defect Talas:
1) Change the rebound setting take effect, that mean that with an open rebound the fork uncompress faster as with an closed rebound.
2) I think that the Talas now don't compress the air as it should. It easy let the air go from one part of the system to the other. (I do not know if this could be technically possible - what do you think?). For information: the fork did not lose the pressure of 120psi.

Why I think the slow rebound could be a side effect of the defect Talas:
1) Change the rebound setting take effect, that mean that with an open rebound the fork uncompressbody english on the steep climbs and get back a little further on the steeps. Despite having only low speed compression adjustment, the Minute damping works very well.

Unfortunately Manitou's 32mm stanchions are pushed on their 160mm Nixon line (not produced any longer). If Manitou continues with it's re-introduction of products and creates a proper 130 - 160 travel adjust air fork with their TPC+ (now called Absolute+) damping, i would be in line to get one. The high speed compression right out of the box plain and simple works as well or better than my Talas 36. Fox better take note, as the new Manitou line (right now only XC/Trail) you can even get the tuning kit to further tune the damper.

As much as I like the Fox

Veterans Against the War led a few thousand activists from the Rage show in a march to the Pepsi center, where the DNC was meeting. They were calling out the Dems for hypocrisy in continuing to fund the war, and were asking to meet with them.

It was too bad to have to work, but it was kind of neat to be part of the observing public for a change, rather than always the activist in the demo who is wondering how other people are observing things. It was also neat to watch everything alongside all my coworkers, and to see their reactions to things.

designs other games.) But as a company, Cards Against Humanity isn't trying to emulate corporations.

"To me a 'company' seems to be something with cost-benefit analysis, and that tries to make a profit at every turn," he says. "Our main priority is to be funny--and to have people like us."

So while maximizing sales is certainly not top prerogative for these game-creators, every customer is extremely important to them. So important that they give the full game away as a free PDF file on their own website. More than 1.5 million people have downloaded it to print out cards themselves.

Most paid orders of a proper box of Cards Against Humanity are fulfilled by Amazon, and a box of 460 white and 90 black cards costs $25. Occasionally, the group has


retailers the whole group can agree works for the brand are small independent game stores.

It's highly unlikely this startup will ever act like a Silicon Valley tech upstart. Hantoot told Chicago Grid: "Whenever we hear someone refer to their business as, 'Oh, this is my startup,' we're like, 'Oh, you mean your unfunded business.' We are beholden to nobody."

The Lifestyle Business as a Success Story

I asked Tim Ferriss, the author of The 4-Hour Workweek, and a master of multitasking and hustling on multiple projects at once, how he'd describe Cards Against Humanity. He seemed to think it might be a sustainable model for a bootstrapped passion project.

"So-called 'lifestyle businesses' provide cash-flow first, potential lottery ticket-like exit second," he said in an email. "They're more certain if engineered andto be the dominant one. As far as shallow games goes, this sits at the deepest end.

The truly impressive thing about Skylanders is how unique each character actually is. I was able to try sixteen of the game's 30 characters, and aside from the recolored "Dark" Spyro, every character has its own unique look, animations, attacks, and upgrades. While there are similar body types, these characters aren't clones of each other. It would have been very easy for Toys For Bob to limit the variation between each Skylander, but the fact that every single one plays differently is commendable.

The game is solid fun but not without its drawbacks. There is a spectrum of melee and ranged abilities, and each type has its limitations. Melee attacks leave characters open


to damage, while the inability to strafe and target can make ranged combat frustrating. In the case of characters who have both close-quarters and projectile-based abilities, this isn't so much of an issue, as their flexibility compensates for the flaws. However, some characters are almost exclusively melee- or ranged-based, and without the other type of attack to offset their drawbacks, they can be noticeably less useful in combat.

Furthermore, the game could have done with a little more variety in the gameplay itself. Levels grow repetitive as the same puzzles and similar boss fights crop up, and while there are a number of enemies that require specific tactics to beat, most of them go down with attack button spamming. Played in shorter bouts, this isn't so much of anis he? Ooooooooooooooh). The whole joke is that the filming of this version of Coppola’s Dracula ends up mirroring the legendary clusterbollocks that was the shooting of Apocalypse Now, complete with storms, the military extras being called away to fight battles, Martin Sheen (Harker) almost dying during a scene and Brando (Dracula) being…well, Brando.

Seriously, somewhere there’s an alternate universe where the dominant life on Earth is sentient gazebos and in that universe Marlon Brando is still an asshole.

The filming of our universe’s Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula’s Spooky Fun Time Emporium wasn’t nearly as hellish as all that, but it did arise from another legendarily troubled production; Godfather 3. Winona Ryder had been cast by Coppola to play Mary Corleone, but dropped out, leading to Coppola having

The little cartoon man then proceeded to make Snow White, one of the most successful movies of all time. Then, a decade later, Disney announced that he was branching out into live action movies.

But then, he also directed Star Trek Nemesis, so fuck that guy.

I feel for the guy, I really do. When faced with having to live up to the legacy of his father, a man who will be remembered as the Michaelangelo of the 21st century, Goro wisely tried to forge his own path in a different field and be his own man. He studies landscaping, becomes a construction consultant and even helped to design the Ghibli museum which he then became the director of. At 34. I mean, this guy has done some amazing things, right? That is a damn impressive resume. More than I’ll ever accomplish, that’s for sure.

interesting use of the word.

Sex, violence and consent also play a role in Jane’s story. The kids need to create a family tree, and Ziggy wants to know his father’s name. Jane is adamant that she won’t tell him, and Ziggy storms off, leaving Jane to tell Madeline her secret: Ziggy is the child of rape. And now we understand Jane’s flashbacks to herself in a blue dress. And we also understand why Jane broke down into horrified tears after Ziggy kissed Amabella.

And holy shit, that’s heavy stuff. But you know what? This cast can handle it. Bring on the next one!

I am not comfortable with the way Eddie stares at Abigail. Brrrrr, you don’t think that’s why she wants to move, do you?

‘She wouldn’t leaveif she knew I had cancer.’ ‘….You don’t have cancer.’ ‘I’ve been wanting to get it.’ Bask. BASK IN THE GLORY.

Is Perry the guy who raped Jane? He seems about the right sort of height and build. We only see him in silhouette, and Jane’s not met Perry, has she?

Jane keeps a gun under her pillow, and has hallucinations of someone breaking into her home. Oh dear.

I am absurdly relieved that we don’t have a scene where Ziggy is pilloried in class for losing Harry the Hippo. Which means, I suppose, that the next episode will be all about The Crime Of Ziggy.

Madeline’s production of Avenue Q is still in trouble. Also, I suspect that the director of the production has eyes for Madeline. Hmmmm.

Jesus never endorsed a political candidate.

Jesus never voted.

Jesus never pledged allegiance to a flag, country, or ruler.

Through his entire life and ministry, Jesus was notably absent from involving himself in the political systems of his day. Why? Because the Kingdom of Heaven was his priority, and living out the divine ideals of that kingdom would be contrary to those of any worldly kingdom or system of power.

Therefore, Jesus did what the gospel instructs us to do today: Help the poor, comfort the oppressed, empower the downtrodden, welcome the foreigner, care for the maligned, accept the outcast, and provide hope, mercy, grace, healing, forgiveness, and sacrificial love to the world around us.

visibility representations. In a bar 1-visibility representation with horizontal bars shoot a vertical ray from vertex $u$ to the top. Suppose the ray traverses bars $b_1, \ldots, b_r$. Then introduce a small bar $b'_i$ of width $\epsilon$ just above $b_i$ such that $b'_i$ is not traversed by any other line of sight, whereas $(b'_{i-1}, b'_i)$ traverses $b_i$, where $b_0$ is the bar of $u$. Proceed similarly for a path from $v$. Introduce a new topmost bar between the rays. The length of the new path from $u$ to $v$ is at most $n-1$ if the sum of the distances of $u$ and $v$ to the top is at most the distance to the bottom. Otherwise, we go to the bottom.

Furthermore, while the self-checkout systems may increase efficiency and cut costs by reducing the number of cashiers, they have no effect on the time and labor costs associated with constructing and reconciling the canisters.
Additionally, it can often be extremely difficult to determine an appropriate or necessary number or value of coins to include when constructing tills or canisters, or how many loans or purchases of coins will likely be made during a given shift or day. Providing too few coins will result in more frequent loans or purchases of coins by cashiers, or require more frequent replenishment of the automated dispensing machinery. Providing too many coins may make reconciliation even more time consuming, and may

systems have been developed to detect straight lines, polynomial, cubic-spline, piecewise linear, and circular arcs–relevant to lane detection [@tapia2013robust]. However, image feature based systems have predictable limitations and can become unreliable with increasing road scene complexity (e.g., shadows, low visibility, occlusions, and curves)  [@kim2017fast]. Due to these limitations, researchers have been turning their attention to machine learning (ML) based methods to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, most recently deep neural networks (DNN). Region-based Convolution Neural Networks (RCNNs), a type of DNN architecture, outperform other DNN architectures in object detection and recognition applications. Due to these key advantages, we have chosen RCNNs to build a simple but robust LDW system that overcomes limitations of previous LDW systems.

The primary application of this project is to detect unsafe driver behaviors, like lane incursions 4   11   2   4

Conclusion {#sec:conclusion}
==========

We proposed a novel algorithm to detect and differentiate lane departure events, including incursions, on lower-resolution video recordings with challenging conditions. In our novel implementation, the model was trained to detect lanes departures with a sensitivity of  0.82. Future investigations will expand our model to a wider variety of vehicle classes, which will likely improve FP rates, and use of segmented masks to detect lane types and improve lane incursion detection. An area that should be further explored is the use of horizontal offset as a mean to detect proximity even when image perspectives are subject to chirp effect. While

and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Polymer products obtained via the sodium hydride route produced miscible blends with both ratios of PLGA, while the cesium carbonate route yielded products with reduced blend miscibility. Heterophase hydrolysis experiments in aqueous media revealed that the polymer blends hydrolyzed to near-neutral pH media (∼5.8 to 6.8). The effect of different molecular structures on cellular adhesion showed osteoblast proliferation with an elevated osteoblast phenotype expression compared to PLGA over a 21-day culture period.
