different resistances. Therefore, a detection of change in the measured resistance allows a magnetoelectronics information device, such as an MRAM device, to provide information stored in the magnetic memory element.

Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a magnetoelectronics information device that is configured to provide multiple magnetization states. In addition, it is desirable to provide methods of providing one or more magnetization states of a magnetoelectronics information device, which is also referred to herein as writing a magnetoelectronics information device. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent description and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A magnetoelectronics information device is provided in accordance with the present invention. The magnetoelectronics information device includes a


one or more non-conductive materials. However, the magnetic regions (106,108) and the tunnel barrier region 110 can have additional layers to form other multi-layer structures than the tri-layer structure, dual-layer structure, and single layer structure. For example, the magnetic regions (106,108) and/or the tunnel barrier region 110 can have one or more additional anti-ferromagnetic layers, ferromagnetic layers, substrate layers, seed layers, non-conductive layers and/or template layers.

The non-magnetic layer 114 can be formed of any number of suitable non-magnetic or anti-ferromagnetic materials such as ruthenium (Ru), osmium (Os), rhenium (Re), chromium (Cr), rhodium (Rh), or copper (Cu), or combinations thereof, and the anti-ferromagnetic layer 122 can be formed with any number of suitable anti-ferromagnetic materials such as manganese alloys (e.g., iridium manganese (IrMn), iron manganese (FeMn), rhodium manganese (RhMn),at a second time (t2) 196. After the bit magnetic field having the first bit magnitude (|HB1|) 194 is produced at the second time (t2) 196, the current in the word line is adjusted to reduce the word magnetic field to a second word magnitude (|HW2|) 198 at a third time (t3) 200. The second word magnitude (|HW2|) 198 is preferably less than about fifty percent (50%) of the first word magnitude (|HW1|) 190, more preferably less than about twenty-five percent (25%) of the first word magnitude (|HW1|) 190, and even more preferably less than about five percent (5%) of the first word magnitude (|HW1|) 190.

Once the word magnetic field is reduced to the second word magnitude (|HW2|) 198, the current in the bit line is adjusted to


Advances towards targetable adenovirus vectors for gene therapy.
Adenovirus-based vectors can efficiently transfer therapeutic genes into cells through an entry process that is initiated be binding to specific receptors on the cell surface. The receptors for the most commonly used Ad vectors include both the Coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) and omega-integrins. Therapeutic applications of AD vectors could be expanded if the specificity of gene transfer could be modulated to enhance expression of a therapeutic gene in transfer tissues and avoid non-target tissues. Ad vectors have been successfully retargeted to novel receptors using several approaches. The merits and challenges of specific approaches are discussed. In vivo evaluation of these retargeted Ad vectors has given promising results but has also highlighted additional challenges for achieving efficient targeted gene delivery.

To provide real cost data for pathology examinations by using activity-based costing method, in order to provide means to departments, health administrators and the social security institution to achieve improvements in financial planning, quality and cost control. The cost of the histopathological examinations, which were accepted by the Department of Pathology at Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital during August 2014, was calculated using the activity-based costing method. The costs were compared with the amounts specified in the Healthcare Implementation Notification Tariff and the conventional volume-based costing. Most pathology examinations listed within a given band in the Healthcare Implementation Notification Tariff show variations in unit costs. The study found that


Investigating the illusion of control in mildly depressed and nondepressed individuals during video-poker play.
Cognitive fallacies, such as the illusion of control, and psychological disorders, such as depression, may perpetuate gambling and thus contribute to problem gambling (e.g., R. Ladouceur, C. Sylvan, C. Boutin, & C. Doucet, 2002). Gender differences may exist across these variables (e.g., N. M. Petry, 2005). The authors investigated these possibilities by recruiting mildly depressed and nondepressed individuals to play jacks or better, 5-card draw, video poker. Across three poker sessions, participants were given (a) no choice of which cards to play, (b) information on the best cards to play but control over which cards were played, or (c) no information and complete control over which cards were played.

Calculate 37 divaddress the the heats of formation of binary alloys Mg-$A$, B-$A$, and Mg-B ($A$=Li, Na, and Ca). It was proposed that Ca may form stable compounds while Na, Li could lead to meta-stable or unstable ternary phases in MgB$_2$. In Ref. , by calculating first-principle formation energies of Li and Na impurities in MgB$_2$, and by neglecting the effects of other ground states in the ternary phase diagram solubility calculations, it was concluded that Na should have very low solubility, whereas the solubility of Li should be comparatively higher although modestly diminished by a segregation into LiB phase.

The present paper is orthogonal to previous studied. We develop a comprehensive theoretical framework to determine the solubilities of alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) and alkaline earths (Be, Ca,


and a better phase diagram should be established (the missed ground state can be supercell itself) [@SolubTi].

In analogy of with binary alloys [@SolubTi], the ternary alloy “low-solubility formation energy” $E_\sol^\alpha(A)$ is shown to determine the solubility of $A$ in the low-solubility limit (Section \[SEC:solubility.theory\]).

Free energy of Mg-B-$A$ solid solution {#SEC:F1}
======================================

The Gibbs free energy per unit cell ([*“uc”*]{}) of the Mg-B-$A$ solid solution is determined within the mean-field approximation: $$\label{Eq:F1uc}

\end{array}$$ where $k_\B$ is a Boltzmann constant, $T$ is the temperature, and $E_{\uc}[\Mg_{n_\suc}\B_{m_\suc}]$ represents the energy (enthalpy) of initial $\Mg_{n_\suc}\B_{m_\suc}$ unit cell without $A$-solutes; the summations over $i$ and $s$ are over all the inequivalent types of interstitial and1.331

SGI screen fonts converted for OS X - ingve

They are really nice, but I wonder if the fonts we have available today are
not better - if only because more eyeballs have been using and improving them.

Also, having unicode glyphs is more important now that it was before. If my
font can't show "άꚍαραξία", or "∀ a,b,c ∈ ℝ³", I think I am missing
something, even if it looks good.

Droid Sans and Deja vu Sans look perfect to me. But I never got to use an
actual SGI, so maybe I'm missing something about the technical advantage of
using these fonts.

~~~

The main advantage of this sort of font is that you can see the pixels. This
may not be to all tastes, but at ~95dpi I find pixelly fonts easier on the
eye. The rightangles and hard edges seem to make it easier for my eyes to get
the right focus setting.

I usually use the 6x13 font from here: [https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-
fonts.html](https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html) \- all the Unicode
you can eat!

(I think it's nicer than the 6x13 SGI one (Screen 13pt on OS X) which is a bit
cramped-looking. The 7x14 SGI one (Screen 14pt on OS X) is much better - looks
like basically the same glyphs as 6x13, but with an extra pixel breathing
room.)

_The right angles and hard edges seem to make it easier for my eyes to get the

I agree; when I first used an LCD, the best part of the experience was how
_sharp_ everything looked. On a CRT the pixels were somewhat blurry no matter
what, but the LCD made the pixels actually look like

reasons. First, in Arminian theology there is an understanding of God’s “antecedent will” (what God would want in a world without sin, before the Fall) and God’s “consequent will” (what God wants, given that we live in this fallen world of sin, suffering, and death). Events that happen in this world represent God’s consequent will.

But I’m sure you’re not convinced, so consider this thought experiment: If we believe that God can answer prayer—more accurately, that God will, even occasionally, grant our prayer petitions—then what are we to make of those times when God doesn’t grant our petitions?

There are three alternatives, as far as I can see:

1) God heard our request but doesn’t have the power grant our petition.
2) God heard our request and has the power, but whetherDowns, they were told.

reputation mainly to prevent possible rejection from their male counter parts. There are no clear laws to deal with this situation.

The empowerment of the women will be one big step forward to overall development of the nation. As Nepal has already entered into a new age of change, equality between male and female should be one of the top priorities for policy makers. Unfortunately, the policies are determined slowly and have not been implemented yet into society. Our organization aims to reach the society by implementing this project from the bottom up, by providing the women with the necessary skills.

To start this program, we have already taken a big step forward. Together with Wilde Ganzen & NCDO Netherlands, the WEP building has been completed and is in operation.We have already conducted three months of training in tailoring and a second phase of training on agriculture and livestock has recently been started. This program not only provides technical knowledge but also provides enough motivational classes, business classes, counseling service as well as micro finance support so the participants can implement their knowledge and skills into their everyday lives.”

Impact of this program

Up to now, a total of 108 single women from Ghachowk, Lahachowk and Machapuchhre villages and other parts of Nepal have gotten training in tailoring and Agriculture and Livestock taining.

Three times refreshment training was done to enhence the skills of the women after the training . In which 69 women participated in refreshmet traning (20 agriculture and livestock training and 49 sewing and tailoring training).

Another 20


– 25 single women are in the process of getting Sewing and Tailoring training starting from Septembert 2017.

A total of 50 single women will get training every year; mainly in tailoring, agriculture, livestock farming, handicrafts and other areas as per need.

A production center has been set up to take the steps toward project self-sustainability. Many of the women have started their own small businesses and a few are working for others from micro support form NCF Nepal.

At variance with normal resting T cells that require previous activation to proliferate when incubated with interleukin-1 (IL-1) or interleukin-2 (IL-2), T-PLL cells proliferated vigorously when incubated with either interleukin. Furthermore, T-PLL cells proliferated when incubated with immune interferon (IFN-gamma). The latter finding parallels the enhancement by IFN-gamma of the proliferative response of lectin-activated murine T lymphocytes. These results suggest that T-PLL cells, which express a high constitutive level of c-myc mRNA, may be in an activated state. The antigenic phenotype and the characteristics of the proliferative pathways of T-PLL cells from the patient TRT are compatible with the possibility that they may be derived from an intermediate thymocyte.

conspiracy to defraud the U.S. for deducting the payments from their taxes as charitable contributions.

In exchange for reduced sentences and no additional criminal charges, the Isacksons have also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors to provide "substantial assistance" in the investigation or prosecution of another person who has committed a potential crime.

The couple faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for the mail fraud charges, and Bruce Isackson faces an additional maximum of 20 years for money laundering and five years for tax fraud. But the prosecution has recommended the "low end" of sentencing guidelines, which prosecutors said would mean between 37 and 46 months of prison time for Bruce Isackson and between 27 and 33 months for Davina Isackson.

A turbocharger may be provided in an engine to increase engine torque or power output density. The turbocharger may include an exhaust-driven turbine coupled to a compressor via a drive shaft. The compressor may be fluidly coupled to an air intake manifold in the engine that delivers air to a plurality of engine cylinders. Exhaust flow from one or more engine cylinders may be directed to a turbine wheel, causing the turbine to rotate about a fixed axis. The rotational motion of the turbine drives an impeller (e.g., wheel) of the compressor, which compresses air into the air intake manifold to increase boost pressure during select engine operating conditions.
Compressor efficiency influences overall engine performance and fuel consumption. For example, lower compressor efficiency may result in slow engine transientGUEN, Central African Republic – There are no headstones to mark these graves, no loving words, nothing to tell the world who lies in these two giant pits full of bodies, or why.

Maximin’s mother, Rachel, is No. 11 on the list of females, and his 5-year-old sister Fani is No. 13. His 7-year-old brother Boris is on the list of males. A separate list details the homes destroyed, the people missing.

The sound of an unknown vehicle passing in Nzakoun still sends families fleeing back into the forest.

It was only a matter of time —


sometimes just hours — before the Christians took revenge.

The mounting hatred was fuelled in part by economic resentment. Muslims make up about 15 per cent of the population, compared to Christians at 50 per cent, yet Muslims ran the merchant class and the lucrative diamond business. As Christian militias took back control of town after town, they unleashed a violence believed to have left several thousands dead, mostly Muslims.

Soon after dawn one morning, Christian fighters stormed the outskirts of Guen, a town with a sizeable Muslim population because of the diamond mining nearby. They attacked the brick homes of Muslims, identifiable by fences traditionally put up all around them, and killed men in front of their children.

“We have suffered under the Seleka and now it is your turn,”son is dead.

Even in death, there is no peace for the victims.

Earlier this summer, a Muslim man was buried at a cemetery in Boda, just a mile away from the zone where Muslims are barricaded.

Later that evening, after the sun set, his body was dug up from the ground and set on fire.

FORMER X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has been found guilty of assaulting a blogger at the V Festival in Chelmsford.

The singer hit blogger Savvas Morgan during an altercation at the festival at Hylands Park last August.

Contostavlos, 26, was ordered to pay a total of £3,020 following the verdict, which consisted of a £2,700 contribution towards the cost of the prosecution, a £200 fine, £100 compensation to Mr Morgan and a £20 victim surcharge.

She appeared to mutter "this is bulls***" as she walked out of the courtroom.

Contostavlos, who wore a blue suit, white shirt and nude stilettos, shook her head and smiled in disbelief as the guilty verdict was read out. She said she will appeal the decision.

Reading a statement outside Stratford Magistrates' Court in east London, Contostavlos said: "Thereis to push another major update to our private chain for public use as well as be ready for security audits.

Islamabad: Farahnaz Ispahani, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari`s media adviser and wife of former envoy to US Husain Haqqani, on Monday rejected a media report that she has fled the country.

Ispahani shot down the report attributed to her that said she had fled to Washington fearing abduction by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

She added that she respected the ISI and the Army, Geo News reported.

"I came here (Washington) to meet my children and going home soon," she was quoted as saying.

Christina Lamb had written in the Sunday Times that the memogate scandal involving Haqqani was "trumped up".

The article said that Haqqani`s life was in danger and Ispahani has fled to Washington over fears that "ISI might kidnap her to force her husband to sign a confession and implicate thebecause recreational runners cannot compete alongside the pros, an element that has been credited with boosting marathon participation.

“People understand the mile because they can relate to it,” says Morgan Uceny a three-time U.S. champion. “In a sport that needs as many spectators as possible it would be beneficial to have people understand more about the sport.”

If the mile is key to reviving track and field participation, BBTM will first need to bring back the iconic distance. This year, the organization is promoting road mile events around the country. The inaugural 2014 Bring Back the Mile Grand Prix offers significant prize money and encourages recreational runners to toe the start line with the pros—in an attempt to duplicate the success of marathon racing.

sex. While male circumcision is prone to its share of complications, the general perception is that it’s a minor issue that does not impair sexual functioning. Even the American Academy of Pediatrics state that the benefits outweigh the risks.

I wasn’t really able to continue the conversation much beyond that. However, I wish I’d had a chance to present more information because, at the end of the day, male circumcision still involves hacking off a part of a man’s anatomy. This isn’t a vestigial tail or a wisdom tooth. This is a man’s penis, a pretty critical part of the body, to say the least.

Even if there are potential health benefits, as the Mayo Clinic states, there is a cost and it’s not just restricted to what a manwhen sauteed, unlike the white ones which often become bitter. If you purchase the fresh bulbs when they are IN SEASON in the spring, buy oodles extra and hang to dry. Otherwise, most health food stores (like Zmora where I shop) will have organic or dried local purple garlic bulbs all year).

These recipes that follow are simple and basic. Experiment with varied vegetables and various spices to produce unique and satisfying flavors. Organic vegetables of course lend the best flavor. Here's to winter time Israeli Orange Soup ! B'tayavon !

and rosemary before the sherry, adding 3 cups stock in place of the water. If using the Herbamare, or a fully seasoned stock, no extra spices are needed for the sweet version of this orange soup.

Savory Orange Soup

To make this soup into its savory counterpart, use the same basic recipe but change the following:

1. Omit the sherry, or replace with dry white wine. 2. Whether using Herbamare or soup stock add middle eastern spices of cumin, extra thyme, paprikas such as hot or smoked paprika. The wonderful spice of tumeric can be added but will definitely give it yet another flavor. I chose to omit tumeric and instead used generous amount of smoked paprika which gave it not only a subtle complex flavor but also a deeper redBackground

Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes oxidative stress, which represents an important mechanism in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. However, ROS act as intracellular signaling molecules mediating various cellular functions including proliferation, apoptosis and survival \[[@B1]\]. Emerging evidence also indicated that ROS can regulate vasoconstriction or vasodilatation depending on the vascular bed studied and oxygen radicals formed \[[@B2]\]. Superoxide anion (·O~2~^-^) was shown to mediate hypertension induced by vasoactive factors such as angiotensin II \[[@B3],[@B4]\] and endothelin \[[@B5]\] or by deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt \[[@B6]\]. In addition, superoxide anion amplifies allergen-induced airway hypercontractility \[[@B7]\]. How superoxide anion accomplishes these effects remains poorly understood.

of a career transition and the start of my side business.

The Transition

In September of 2008, I quit my job as a claims adjuster. This was a job that I held for three years out of college, and it was a good job for the time while my wife was getting through her master’s program as a physician assistant, but it wasn’t what I wanted to do long-term. We moved that same month to Orlando, Florida and I remained unemployed for 10 weeks. During that time, I blogged for money, I did odd jobs, and whatever I could find to make some extra money while my wife worked her butt off. Then in January, I started with a temp agency working at a financial services company doing the mostmenial computer work I’ve ever done. It was so repetitive and had NO meaning to me at all. It was a rough 4 months, but I got through it, and during that time, I crafted a resume with my past experience to brand myself as an internet marketer, and I found a green travel booking website willing to give me a chance. I had plenty of experience, but it was all experience doing freelance work and no employee work experience. I have been with them for over 7 months, and it has been great, because I am doing something that I am passionate about and I enjoy what I do on a daily basis.

1. Introduction {#sec1-molecules-24-04238}
===============

The monocotyledonous family Amaryllidaceae consists of ca. 85 genera and 1100 species, and is one of the 20 most important alkaloid-containing plant families. Amaryllidaceae species are widely distributed over the tropical and warm regions of the world, and have not only been cultivated as ornamental plants for their colorful flowers and fragrant oils, but also for their extensive use as folk medicines against various diseases in many countries and areas \[[@B1-molecules-24-04238]\]. The medical properties of these plants were already known in the fourth century B.C., when Hippocrates of Cos used oil from the daffodil *Narcissus poeticus* L. for the treatment of uterine tumors \[[@B2-molecules-24-04238]\]. Since the isolation of the first alkaloid, lycorine, from *Narcissus pseudonarcissus* in 1877, up to now, more than 600 structurally diverse alkaloidshave been isolated from plants of this family with a wide range of interesting biological activities, including antitumor, antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, antiviral, analgesic, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities \[[@B3-molecules-24-04238],[@B4-molecules-24-04238],[@B5-molecules-24-04238]\].

The present review summarizes phytochemical studies carried out on the genus *Nerine*, focusing on the occurrence, isolation, identification, and biological activities of secondary metabolites.

2. The Genus *Nerine*: Occurrence and Ethnobotany {#sec2-molecules-24-04238}
=================================================

The genus *Nerine* Herb. is a member of the class Monocotyledonae, order Asparagales, family Amaryllidaceae, and tribe Amaryllideae \[[@B6-molecules-24-04238],[@B7-molecules-24-04238]\]. *Nerine* species form a group of bulbous perennial plants closely related to the genera *Brunsvigia* Heist. and *Hessea* Herb \[[@B8-molecules-24-04238]\]. The first mention of *Nerine* plants was in 1635 when J. Cornut described *Nerine sarniensis* as *Narcissus japonicus rutilo flore*. In 1753 Linnaeus included this species under the name *Amaryllis sarniensis*, and


as activity on the central nervous system (CNS), such as hallucinogenic effects, mental disorders, and age-related dementia \[[@B48-molecules-24-04238],[@B49-molecules-24-04238]\].

4.1. Biological Activity Connected with Potential Treatment of Alzheimer′s Disease {#sec4dot1-molecules-24-04238}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nowadays, the ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE, E.C. 3.1.1.7) is the most significant activity of AA. This inhibition is mainly used in the treatment of Alzheimer′s disease (AD), which is a major neurodegenerative disease that is clinically manifested by dementia \[[@B50-molecules-24-04238]\]. The cause of this disease is not known, and therefore the pharmacotherapy cannot be as effective as in the case of other positively clarified diseases \[[@B51-molecules-24-04238]\]. From the beginning, AD is characterized by a defect in the central acetylcholinesterase system \[[@B52-molecules-24-04238]\]. The central cholinesterase inhibitors are the most important and most effective drugs. They are used in the therapy ofresults indicated that haemanthamine treatment decreases cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential, leads to a decline in the percentage of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle, induces apoptosis detected by Annexin V staining, and increases caspase activity. Dose dependent apoptosis was cross verified by fluorescence and bright field microscopy through Annexin V/propidium iodine staining and morphological changes that characteristically attend programmed cell death. Treatment with haemanthamine (**29**) led to accumulation of cells preferentially at the G1 and G2 stages of the cell cycle with increased p16 expression and Chk1 Ser345 phosphorylation \[[@B77-molecules-24-04238]\]. The in vivo anticancer potential of haemanthamine (**29**) has been preliminary quantified by a study performed using an Ehrlich tumor-bearing mice model.

Once the defendant's liability is fixed and limited, he has no incentive to produce witnesses or testimony tending to prove that he was not `visibly intoxicated' on the date in question. The dramshop defendant may have much more difficulty in identifying, locating, and obtaining favorable testimony from the defendant's friends or acquaintances who observed him at relevant times."
*360 The agreements in the present cases obviously do not retain the allegedly intoxicated persons within the meaning of the dramshop act. Liability has been fixed. If Putney is deemed to be retroactive, plaintiffs' actions must be dismissed.
Although it has often been stated that the general rule is one of complete retroactivity, this Court has adopted a flexible approach.[1]
"`It is evident that there is no single rule of thumb


the correct meaning of the statute, as the correct interpretation ab initio. The general rule is *370 one of retroactivity. Such corrective judicial hindsight is understood and accepted by bench and bar as an ordinary risk indigenous to a profession in which service to a client rests largely upon the vicissitudes of analysis, scholarship, judgment, and prediction  the essence of the practice of law. Practicing lawyers live every day with the understanding that they may be reading a statute in a way with which an appellate court will subsequently disagree. They accept that risk.
However, when a Michigan appellate court does construe a statute and unequivocally declares what it means, the bench and bar are entitled, indeed obligated, to accept that construction as authoritative, and lawyers can beencroach considerably on the Court's discretion whether to grant leave to appeal. In many cases *378 that rationale would not achieve a just balancing of the rights of litigants advocating competing views of what the substantive rule should be.
This Court frequently declines to grant leave to appeal although a majority of the justices may be troubled by, or have doubts regarding, the reasoning or conclusion of the Court of Appeals. The Court may deny leave to appeal because it concludes that the decision of the Court of Appeals, although possibly erroneous, is not "clearly erroneous", or that it will not "cause material injustice".[12] There is, by hypothesis, no conflict "with decisions of the Supreme Court or other Court of Appeals decisions". The Court, which must yearly consider some


were not taverns but were owners or drivers of other automobiles involved in the collision, the $50,000 settlement obtained from Havlik for noneconomic or excess economic loss would be subtracted from any verdict against them. The rule also continues to apply where the tortfeasor is a non-motorist such as an automobile or parts manufacturer or the owner of a cow[37] or (see Part VI) a tavern  the $50,000 settlement would be subtracted from any recovery from such a defendant for economic or noneconomic loss. Thus, however this case is decided, amounts recovered from an owner or driver for noneconomic or excess economic loss, or from a non-motorist tortfeasor for economic or noneconomic loss, will continue to be subtracted from a verdict for like elements of damage againstexpense. An automobile insurer, often but not necessarily the no-fault insurer of an automobile *389 owned by the injured person[40] rather than the automobile liability insurer of the owner or driver of another vehicle found to have been at fault, pays for lost wages or other economic loss within the statutory limits and medical expense.[41]
Under another common-law rule, recoveries from a "collateral source" are not subtracted from a verdict or judgment awarding damages in tort.[42] Damages, whether paid by the tortfeasor or the tortfeasor's insurer, are not deemed to have been received from a collateral source and are so subtracted.[43] The proceeds of insurance payable to the holder or beneficiary of a policy of insurance, as distinguished from insurance proceeds paid in discharge *390 of the liability of


Stated conversely, it does not follow that the no-fault act reflects a policy to allow duplicative recovery unless the avoidance of double recovery reduces the cost of no-fault insurance.
The provisions of the no-fault act relied on in the lead opinion (requiring a setoff of benefits *406 provided or required to be provided under state or federal laws and allowing for recoupment of duplicative benefits obtained from a motorist not relieved of tort liability) reflect a legislative policy parallel to the policy of the common law of allowing an injured person to be reimbursed for his loss but once. The necessary consequence of these cost-saving common-law and statutory law policies is to confer a benefit on whoever is required by the common and statutory law of this state tomedical expense insurer, a governmentally mandated exaction to finance a social welfare entitlement program, administered through insurance companies and self-insured enterprises, requiring the payment of reparations for the benefit of all persons injured in automobile accidents without regard to whether they own automobiles[73] or contribute to the cost of financing or funding the pool of money from which PIP benefits are paid.
PIP benefits are closely akin to, and function as, statutorily mandated automobile accident damages or reparations for wage loss and medical expense. Damages  reparations required to be paid by law  are, all would agree, not a collateral source. PIP benefits are reparations required to be paid by law. They are payable by an automobile insurer  now as before enactment of the no-fault act


due care. Second, most tort liability is funded by insurance; the impact of a tort recovery on a particular tortfeasor and the likely effect on his future behavior are often marginal. Third, subtracting PIP benefits from a tort recovery would not result in the tortfeasor or his insurer escaping all liability; they would remain liable or potentially liable for noneconomic loss (frequently the greater exposure) and excess economic loss. That potential liability should encourage those who would not otherwise exercise due care, who can be so constrained, to do so. Fourth, the argument ignores that the common-law rule requires the subtraction of a recovery from another tortfeasor subject to liability for the same loss; if this argument for not requiring subtraction of a duplicative recovery is thought toTortfeasors Act.[83] It is now clear that contribution *418 can be enforced although tortfeasors are separate and concurrent rather than "joint" wrongdoers, although there is not a common theory of liability, and although the liability of one tortfeasor may be based on fault while the liability of the other is based on a statute or rule of the common law allowing recovery without regard to fault. All that is now necessary to enforce contribution is that there be a common burden of liability.[84]
*419 A no-fault insurer, albeit not a tortfeasor, is under a common burden of liability with a tavern for the payment of wage/work loss within the statutory limit and medical expense to a person injured in an automobile accident. Although an action against a tavern is


is concerned with compensation or indemnity, accident insurance furnished a weak analogy, and there seems to be no basis for double recovery to the claimant whether the legislation is one providing for a contribution on his part or not. Presumably such schemes are not intended to provide windfalls. Certainly there is little if any trace of such intent in the philosophy of the American legislation, and it is submitted that the courts should be exceedingly reluctant to find it. The only theory that would justify such a result is one which would seek to redistribute the wealth beyond the point that indemnity or compensation calls for, and we probably do not want to do that in our country, though such a notion may well lie behind the currentpaid indirectly by taking a lower salary. But if plaintiff paid for these benefits, it was not, surely, in hope of a double recovery but merely to gain minimal security, and if a double recovery is denied him his expectations will not be frustrated. And, although the plaintiff paid premiums for his insurance, he did not necessarily pay an amount equal to the benefits, and he did not pay alone, for the fund was created by many others in similar situations. In fact, both the plaintiff and others who contribute to the insurance (or fringe benefit) fund can get the security they seek more cheaply if the fund can be relieved of the obligation to pay when that will result in double compensation. Thus what the plaintiff has


trial court had charged the jury that there could be no recovery for lost wages unless the salary payments made by the employer over the period of disability were mere gratuities or gifts. While noting that there is a split of authority on the question, the Court followed what it said was the "prevailing doctrine" and reversed. The Court quoted from Roth v Chatlos, 97 Conn 282; 116 A 332 (1922):
"[W]hether the motive impelling their payment be affection, philanthropy, or contract, the injured is the beneficiary of their bounty and not him who caused the injury. * * * Such service or such payment is for the benefit of the injured person. It is a gift to him. But since it is one of the elements of injury,was instituted. The source of funding of PIP benefits, and a tort recovery which it replaces  a pool of money funded by premiums paid by owners and operators of automobiles  remains essentially unchanged after the enactment of the no-fault act.

[58]  The rationale of LeBlanc v State Farm Mutual Automobile Ins Co, 410 Mich 173; 301 NW2d 775 (1981), was that the Legislature intended that the governmental health benefits there involved be included under § 3109a (MCL 500.3109a; MSA 24.13109[1]) and not that they were not governmental benefits under § 3109 (MCL 500.3109; MSA 24.13109).

Who are the anointed?

There is another fatal flaw in Hinn’s interpretation. He—and all those who follow this teaching—assume that only certain persons are “anointed.” They claim that pastors and self-appointed prophets and apostles have a unique anointing from God that immunizes them from criticism. But such a concept is foreign to Scripture. In short, the Bible teaches that all believers have an anointing from God.

In his first epistle, the apostle John explained what it means to be anointed as a New Testament believer. After warning his readersLagosfashionanddesignweek.com

Review of operation of urban drainage systems in cold weather: water quality considerations.
Cold climate imposes special requirements on urban drainage systems, arising from extended storage of precipitation and pollutants in the catchment snowpack, processes occurring in the snowpack, and changes in catchment surface and transport network by snow and ice. Consequently, the resulting catchment response and runoff quantity differ from those experienced in snow- and ice-free seasons. Sources of pollutants entering urban snowpacks include airborne fallout, pavement and roadside deposits, and applications of de-icing and anti-skid agents. In the snowpack, snow, water and chemicals are subject to various processes, which affect their movement through the pack and eventual release during the melting process. Soluble constituents are flushed from the snowpack early during the melt; hydrophobic substances generally stayable to go through the problems of setting up your very own internet site, setting up WordPress, and everything jazz.

Before he was a general in World War Two, George S Patton designed a differentdevice, a voltage averaging method is largely employed in which a voltage is applied to the scanning electrodes on a time-sharing basis so that a voltage can be selectively applied to the liquid crystal material forming a pixel at a point of intersection between the scanning and signal electrodes.
It has, however, been found that, in the practice of this driving method, if the number of the scanning electrodes to which the voltage is applied on the time-sharing basis is increased, the length of time required to select one scanning electrode tends to be increased with the consequence that the length of time during which no scanning electrode is selected increases. As a result thereof, the difference in average voltage applied for each frame between an ON pixel and

Large batch size also isn't necessarily stable in the first sense but is stable in the second sense.
In terms of selecting batch size / learning rate for large scale training, we're concerned more about the second sense of stability.

One way to see it is that if you take $B$ steps with batch size 1 and learning rate $\eta$, it should be pretty close to taking a single step with batch size $B$ and learning rate $B\eta$, assuming the gradient is roughly constant with mean $\mu$ over these $B$ steps and our minibatch gradient estimate has variance $\frac{\sigma^2}{B}$.


used to actuate brakes individually is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,535,124, issued Jul. 9, 1996 to Javad Hosseini et al. (hereafter referenced as ""124). The traction control system of ""124 detects the difference in rotational velocity between the two wheels of the front or rear frame, detects the articulation angle of the machine (an articulation angle of zero means that the machine is not being turned), and then responsively produces a braking control signal to slow the faster rotating wheel. The ""124 braking control signal takes into account the fact that one of the wheels may need to rotate more quickly if it is the outer wheel and weights the braking control signal accordingly.
The ""124 traction control system, however, calculates the braking control signal using a desiredspeed ratio between each set of inner and outer wheels. The ratio can falsely indicate that the wheels are not slipping when there actually is a loss of traction. Missed traction events often occur if, for example, both inner and outer wheels are slipping slightly, or only the inner wheel is slipping, since the controller only checks to see if the ratio of the faster wheel speed to the slower wheel speed is greater than expected, thus ignoring the absolute wheel speeds. Also, the ""124 system does not take into account the effect of the back-and-forth, or lateral, movement of the articulation joint during articulation.

After all, Yod is built not born, is not the product of a pregnancy or a mother, doesn't share our biological plan, hasn't had a childhood in which he got to play, lacks a history, doesn't age and won't get old, and yet engages in an intimate and loving relationship with Shira, who comes to be convinced that he is a person and who defends his personhood to the other citizens of Tikva. Furthermore, Piercy's novel seemingly suggests that Baier's own emphasis on mothers, reproduction, and birth is itself outmoded in a world characterized by significant techno-scientific changes. Baier suggests that persons begin with the birth of


personhood is never settled in the novel. With each new situation in which Yod finds himself, challenges are made to his status, and the surrounding culture is continuously forced to debate his status. The novel remains ambivalent, suggesting that there are limits to personhood and that Yod, having been engineered in a lab and created for a singular purpose, as if a tool, cannot or perhaps better should not also be a person. Finally, both Malkah and Shira recognize that it was a mistake to create Yod. As Malkah notes, I went to Yod this morning, and I asked him to forgive me for having taken part in his formation; more than ever, I have been thinking what overweening ambition and pride are involved in our creating ofconscious life we plan to use and control, when we cannot even fully use our own minds and we blunder and thrash about vainly in our own lives. No life is for us but for itself. (393) Yod's unnatural creation in the lab according to the specifications of Avram finally discloses the challenges of a personhood which is unnatural.

On receiving the service request message $M_{1}$, AS first checks the validity of the time stamp $t_{c}$ and then computes $Ind_{U} = Ind_{U}^{*} - s_{AS}R$ and searches the database with the user's index $Ind_{U}$ and verifies whether the equation $vP + hU\text{  }\underline{\underline{?}}\text{\!  }R$ holds, here $h = H\left( {t_{c},R + U} \right)$.

Introduction to Polar Codes
===========================

The construction of polar code is based on the observation of channel polarization. Consider a binary-input discrete memoryless channel $W:\mathcal{X}\to\mathcal{Y}$, where $\mathcal{X}=\{0,1\}$. Define $$F=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
  1 & 0 \\
  1 & 1
\end{array}\right].\nonumber$$ Let $B_N$ be the bit-reversal operator defined in [@Arikan:Channel08], where $N=2^n$. By applying the transform $G_N=B_NF^{\otimes n}$ ($F^{\otimes n}$ denotes the $n^{\text{th}}$ Kronecker power of $F$) to the message $u_{1:N}$, the encoded $x_{1:N}=u_{1:N}G_N$ is transmitted through $N$ independent copies of channel $W$. Then, consider $N$ binary-input coordinate channels $W_N^{(i)}:\mathcal{X}\to\mathcal{Y}^N\times\mathcal{X}^{i-1}$, where for each $i\in\{1,\ldots,N\}$ the transition probability is given by $$W_N^{(i)}(y_{1:N},u_{1:{i-1}}|u_i)\triangleq \sum_{u_{{i+1}:N}}\frac{1}{2^{N-1}}W^N(y_{1:N}|u_{1:N}G_N).\nonumber$$ Here, as $N$ tends to infinity, the channels $\{W_N^{(i)}\}_{1:N}$ polarize to either noiseless or purely noisy ones, and the fraction of noiseless channels isfading model, we consider the practical scenario where the channel state information is available only at the decoder (CSI-D) [@Tse:Wireless05 pages 186-187], while the transmitter is assumed to know only the statistics of the channel states.

Binary symmetric channel (BSC) is a channel with binary input $X$, binary noise $Z$, and a binary output $Y=X\oplus Z$. Here, for the fading BSC, the channel noise is a Bernoulli distributed random variable, where its statistics depend on the channel states. For the block fading BSC considered in this work, the channel is modeled as follows. $$Y_{b,i}=X_{b,i}\oplus Z_{b,i},\quad b=1,\ldots,B,\quad i=1,\ldots,N,\label{fun:channel_definition}$$ where $N$ is the block length, and $B$ is the number of fading blocks. Here, $Z_{b,i}$ are assumed to be identically distributed within a block and follow an i.i.d. fading process over blocks.


illustrated in Fig. \[fig:Polarization\]. Based on this observation, when polarizing two BSCs, the channel indices after reordering permutation $\pi$ can be divided into three categories (we assume that channel $1$ is degraded, i.e., $p_1\geq p_2$):

1.  Set $\mathcal{G}$: both channels are good, i.e., $$I(W_{1,N}^{(\pi(i))})\to 1,\quad I(W_{2,N}^{(\pi(i))})\to 1.$$

2.  Set $\mathcal{M}$: only channel $2$ is good, while channel $1$ is bad, i.e., $$I(W_{1,N}^{(\pi(i))})\to 0,\quad I(W_{2,N}^{(\pi(i))})\to 1.$$

3.  Set $\mathcal{B}$: both channels are bad, i.e., $$I(W_{1,N}^{(\pi(i))})\to 0,\quad I(W_{2,N}^{(\pi(i))})\to 0.$$

![[**Illustration of polarizations for two binary symmetric channels.**]{} The blue-solid line represents the degraded channel with transition probability $p_1$, and the red-dashed one represents the superior channel with $p_2$ ($p_1\geq p_2$). Values of $I(W_N^{(\pi(i))})$, the reordered symmetric mutual information, are shown for both channels. []{data-label="fig:Polarization"}](Fading_Polarization){width="0.8\columnwidth"}

We have the following relationships between these sets. First,information sets for two channels are given by $\mathcal{A}_1=\mathcal{G}$, and $\mathcal{A}_2=\mathcal{G}\cup \mathcal{M}$. Moreover, considering the sizes of these sets, we have: $$\begin{aligned}
&|\mathcal{G}|=|\mathcal{A}_1|=N[1-H(p_1)-\epsilon],\label{fun:size_G}\\
&|\mathcal{M}|=|\mathcal{A}_2|-|\mathcal{A}_1|=N[H(p_1)-H(p_2)],\label{fun:size_M}\\
&|\mathcal{B}|=N-|\mathcal{A}_2|=N[H(p_2)+\epsilon],\label{fun:size_B}\end{aligned}$$ where $\epsilon$ is an arbitrarily small positive number (that vanishes as $N\to\infty$).

For a fading binary symmetric channel, we again utilize Fig. \[fig:Polarization\] to illustrate our coding scheme. Here, consider a fading BSC with only two fading states, the degraded state and the superior one (denoted as state $1$ and $2$, respectively). If channel is in state $1$, which happens with probability $q_1$, the fading channel polarizes to the blue-solid curve, and otherwise the channel is in state $2$, which happens with the probability $q_2=1-q_1$, and the fading channel polarizes to the red-dashed curve. Hence, the reconstructed channel with index in set $\mathcal{G}$ always polarizes to a good


$\mathcal{G}$ is BSC information set with size given by (\[fun:size\_G\]). Remarkably, we do not set all non-information bits to be $0$, but transpose the blockwise codewords generated from Phase 1 and embed them into the messages of this phase. More precisely, if denote the reordering permutation operator of BSC as $\pi$, then $$\begin{aligned}
    &\pi(u^{(b)})=[u^{(b)}_1,\ldots,u^{(b)}_{|\mathcal{G}|},\tilde{u}^{(1)}_{b},\ldots,\tilde{u}^{(|\mathcal{M}|)}_{b},0,\ldots,0],\label{fun:code_phase2}\\
    &x^{(b)}=u^{(b)}G_N.\label{fun:encoding_phase2}
    \end{aligned}$$ By collecting all $\{x^{(b)}\}_{1:B}$ together, the encoder outputs a codeword with length $NB$. We equivalently express these codewords by a $B\times N$ matrix. The proposed encoder for fading binary symmetric channel is illustrated in Fig. \[fig:Encoder\].

![image](Encoder)

Decoder
-------

After receiving the sequence $y_{1:{NB}}$ from the channel, the decoder’s task is to make estimates $\{\hat{v}^{(k)}\}_{1:{|\mathcal{M}|}}$ and $\{\hat{u}^{(b)}\}_{1:{B}}$, such that the information bits in both sets of messages matchprobability. Without loss of generality, consider $W_1\triangleq \text{BSC}(p_1),\ldots,W_S\triangleq\text{BSC}(p_S)$, with $p_1\geq p_2\geq\cdots\geq p_S$. Then, a fading BSC with $S$ fading states is modeled as the channel being $W_s$ with probability $q_s$ for a given fading block, where $\sum\limits_{s=1}^Sq_s=1$. The polarization of a fading BSC with $S$ fading states is illustrated in Fig. \[fig:Polarization\_S\], where the reconstructed channel indices are divided into $S+1$ sets after permutation $\pi$. In addition to $\mathcal{G}$ and $\mathcal{B}$, there exist $S-1$ middle sets $\mathcal{M}_1$, …, $\mathcal{M}_{S-1}$ in this case. For each channel index in set $\mathcal{M}_s$, channels having statistics being one of $W_1,\ldots,W_s$ are polarized to be purely noisy and the remaining ones are noiseless. Therefore, for channel indices belonging to $\mathcal{M}_s$, we consider modeling them as BECs with erasure probability given by $$e_s\triangleq\sum_{t=1}^s q_t,\quad 1\leq


given by $$\begin{aligned}
R   &=\frac{1}{NB}\Bigg\{B|\mathcal{G}|+\sum_{s=1}^{S-1}|\mathcal{M}_s||\tilde{\mathcal{A}}_s|\Bigg\}\nonumber\\
    &=[1-H(p_1)-\epsilon]+\sum_{s=1}^{S-1}[H(p_s)-H(p_{s+1})](1-e_s-\epsilon)\nonumber\\
    &=\sum_{s=1}^Sq_s[1-H(p_s)]-\delta'(\epsilon),\nonumber\end{aligned}$$ where $\delta'(\epsilon)\triangleq\epsilon[1+H(p_1)-H(p_S)]$ tends to $0$ as $\epsilon\to0$. Thus, to this end, the proposed polar coding scheme achieves the capacity of channel, and the encoding and decoding complexities are both given by $$\sum_{s=1}^{S-1}|\mathcal{M}_s|\cdot O(B\log B)+B\cdot O(N\log N)=O(NB\log (NB)),\nonumber$$ which is independent to the value of $S$ as $\sum\limits_{s=1}^{S-1}|\mathcal{M}_s|\leq N$. For the same reason, the decoding error bound also remains the same as the case of only two fading states. Thus, our proposed polar coding scheme achieves the capacity of fading binary symmetric channel with arbitrary finite number of fading states, and the encoding and decoding complexity are both guaranteed to be tractable in practice.

Noting again the relevancy of this scenario to the fading AWGN channels,for $\lambda=1$ is shown in Fig. \[fig:Exp\_Prob\]. It is evident that $a_l$ approaches $0$ for what we refer to as the “higher” levels and approaches $0.5$ for the “lower” levels. Hence, the primary non-trivial levels meaningful for coding are the “middle” ones. This observation provides the basis for truncating the number of levels to a finite value without a significant loss in performance.

7 percent felt they had a single version of customer truth.

So why is it—when marketing admits that the ability to deliver data-led, personalized, customer-centric experiences across channels, in-real-time and at scale is critical to their business—that we are still struggling to obtain this 360-degree view of our customers? According to 30 percent of marketers, it is because the data that could create this unified view is trapped in silos across the organization.

While the industry talks about CMOs needing to transform into everything from customer officers and marketing technology officers to revenue officers and beyond, one functional requirement stands at the center of marketing’s ability to truly accelerate in this customer-focused, digital age: silo busting. As the chief silo buster, marketing leadership finds itself needing to work with cross-functionalconsumers holistically, understanding that they are who they are on mobile devices, in their cars listening to the radio, or while watching television.

In addition to dissecting the typical consumer and their media consumption, we’ll discuss how this new world order requires complete cohesion between brands, their advertising and media agencies - all the while supported by smart, real-time market research.

ETO by MIC method indicated discordant value as high as 28.6 per cent (10/35) and 5.7 per cent (2/35) by PST method ([Table](#T1){ref-type="table"}). DST of ETO is known to be dynamic and it is tedious to deduce an accurate method for detecting resistant and sensitive strains[@ref3]. One probable reason is that, MIC method uses a high concentration of inoculum (4 mg/ml) than the PST method (1 mg/ml). Various other reasons for the development of inconsistency by MIC method may be primarily technical such as selection of representative clonal population, proper and appropriate preparation of suspension without any clumping, accurate inoculation (10 μl/slope) and preparation of media with the correct drug concentration. To a limited extent, presence of borderline/intermediate population may induce some discrepancy in DST procedures. This phenomenonis tied for third in the league in receptions in November with 20, the exact same total as LSU’s top wide receivers Chase and Justin Jefferson.

There isn’t a player in college football quite like Edwards-Helaire, performance or personality. His energy has helped the Tigers run their gauntlet of a schedule; a dramatic sprint to the finish remains. For Edwards-Helaire, the big stage, performances against Florida to Alabama, has often been where he has been at his best. Along with Burrow and others, the role Edwards-Helaire has, clearly, is a starring one. As the Bayou Bengals chase a national title, he will be one of the forerunners out in front.

Q:

Berkeley socket communication, send and receive structs

I have a assignment where I am going to implement a score-server for a game. When a game is done the game is going to send() players name (char *name) and score (int score) to the server  for registration, receive(), and the server is going to send back 5 top-scores.
We are going to use Berkeley sockets and C. After some reading and studying of examples I can only find examples that just sends single variables.
write(sd, "Hello World", 12);

char buf[13];
read(sd, buf, 12);
buf[12] = '\0';

What is usual to do ? Send each variable (name and score) is separate write() functions, or create a struct that holds both variables ?
After some reading in Beej's Guide to Network Programming I come across the problemof reducible silver ions.
The non-photosensitive source of reducible silver ions is a material that contains reducible silver ions. Typically, the preferred non-photosensitive source of reducible silver ions is a silver salt of a long chain aliphatic carboxylic acid having from 10 to 30 carbon atoms, or mixtures of such salts. Such acids are also known as “fatty acids” or “fatty carboxylic acids”. Silver salts of other organic acids or other organic compounds, such as silver imidazoles, silver tetrazoles, silver benzotriazoles, silver benzotetrazoles, silver benzothiazoles and silver acetylides have also been proposed. U.S. Pat. No. 4,260,677 (Winslow et al.) discloses the use of complexes of various inorganic or organic silver salts.

I was super excited about it, because as a lot of you know, I am seriously obsessed with anything translucent, iridescent, shiny, opal like, oh you know, all the pretty things, lol! I thought this was such a cool product, new, innovative, and


long way! By applying this top coat, it completely transforms any lip color, or lipstick, and makes it look totally different, I really think it’s such a fun, and innovative new product! I have seen topcoats before, but this is definitely more glittery, and really changes the look! This is perfect for a night out, from going from a day to night look, and just so fun! IT is shade shifting, and gives a duo chrome effect on the lips, without being over drying, it dries down, and melts perfectly into the lip color that it coats. I do have a complaint though, I don’t like the applicator brush, it makes the product clump together, and get chunky, which does goes away once it is applied to thelast month or so, amazing deals, literally half the price of retail, I have picked up a few of the makeup products, this being one of them, and have really been loving them so far, so I thought I would do a review for this one, since it’s my favorite, and SO beautiful! My Marshall’s only had 1 of these, so I had to grab it! I was excited, because I have a sample size of this, and have tried it, and knew it was an awesome highlighter/ illuminizer! This comes in 3 different shades, the one that I was able to purchase is in the shade Rose, yes it’s gorgeous, and a must have in my opinion! It is so versatile, and is very light in formula,


are all doing well, and having a lovely weekend, even though it’s the end, lol! Sorry about not posting this week, I didn’t really mean to not post, it just kind of happened, life I guess! I am playing a bit of catch up with everything, and today I have a fun post, that I have been meaning to get up for a while, sorry it’s late, but still relevant for sure. I feel in love with this collection the second I saw it, even when it wasn’t even available yet. I love it all, seriously everything is SO beautiful, I wanted the entire collection, but just ended up purchasing most of them 🙂 I couldn’t resist, the packaging, and rainbow, unicorn design is EVERYTHING! I knew Ibox is all beauty related, and is shipped quarterly, which is 4 boxes a year, 1 box per season. When you sign up for the box, it is automatically paid, and the $5 is deducted from your account for the box. I have been a subscriber since the first box was released, and think it’s a great valued box, although I do feel like the brands repeat quite a bit unfortunately, and wish they would get new brands to be in the box. I love trying out new products, hint to why I am a beauty blogger, lol, right? so this box has always been good for me, and a good deal, because otherwise I wouldn’t have the opportunity to try out these products.

Insight:

In the announcement of Los Angeles’ top spot, officials note cities such as Indianapolis, Newark, NJ, and Boston ranked highly for adopting and using solar energy, even though they are "not known for sunshine." That follows a letter signed by a bipartisan group of 180 mayors from across the country calling for increased solar energy usage, a call that appears to be sinking in outside of traditional solar energy powerhouses like California and Hawaii.

Environment America noted the top 20 cities for solar energy, which comprise just 0.1% of total land mass in the United States, account for 4% of the country’s solar usage. That is in line with wider trends in research around lowering carbon emissions, which indicates that cities have led the way as they increase staffingA FUnnie look at the loony residents of the Democratic Underground aka DUmmies in particular and the Leftwing Blogosphere in general.

Holder Special CIA Prosecutor Inspires KOmmie Bloodlust

Gee! What coincidental timing. ObamaCare is on the ropes and the Leftwing loons are growing angry with Obama. What to do? What to do? Simple. Try to make the loons forget their disappointment about public option ObamaCare fading away as well as punish those Wascally Weepublicans by unleashing the Attorney General Hound Eric Holder on the EVIL Bush administration by investigating laughable torture allegations. Does anybody think Obama would have given the thumbs up to Holder if ObamaCare were sailing along thanx in part to cooperative Republicans? Of course not. This is an entirely POLITICAL investigation. And if you


really needs? Perhaps this is a way of getting the Grand Obstructionist Party to pay less attention to killing Health Care reform and to leave Cap 'N Trade alone.

[Yup! It certainly is strange timing. And it is ALL ABOUT POLITICS.]

All I want for christmas is Bush-Cheney in a cell

[MERRY FITZMAS!]

Would have LOVED Fitzgerald in that post.

If you will recall...Fitzgerald did NOT indict Rove.

[Oh yes he did. It happened on May 12, 2006. Just ask William Rivers Pitt.]

This only matters if they go after DoD higher ups and the Vice President. Locking up some CIA chumps will be a waste of time and effort and make us look like dicks.

[Have no fear. You already look that way.]

I have said it before, timing, by the time 2010 - 2012 rollaround, Dick and Geroge will be getting their subpeonas.

[Drooled the KOmmie in anticipation.]

The Right will point to left-leaning sites like Kos and say "See it's a political witch hunt".

[Li'l Beaver's finger is already pointing straight at you.]

This is an instance where it would be better to celebrate in silence and let the process go where it may. Obama has desperately tried to distance himself from any Holder situation, to try and keep politics out of it.

[Too late. We have already noticed your gloat fest.]

They need to get the higher ups, especially Bush and Cheney, and they need also to go out and expose just how widespread this atrocious behavior was. I think that every time we win one thing, it makes it easier to win the next one.


Not one interrogator has boldly stood up and said they stopped an attack because they crossed the line and saved Americans or obtained actionable intelligence with "enhanced interrogation". Not one. There is not one documented case where torture conclusively deterred an attack. And, believe me, both the present and past administrations would love to parade just one case that justified it. But they can't.

And yet most of you find torture to be defensible. I'll believe it someone can prove that it works.

You do understand, I hope, that what you make OK and legal to do to 'them' makes it OK and legal for them to do to 'us'.

You do understand, I hope, that what you make OK and legal to do to 'them' makes it OK and legalam not saying that Obama will know about a domestic terrorist attack. Like Bush, He'll be taken by surprise. Bush "owns" 9/11 in that he was CIC, just as as Obama will "own" any future attack (which I truly hope will not come or will be foiled in the attempt) as he is CIC. FDR "owns"12/7 because he was in charge of national security when Pearl Harbor was attacked.

The sad truth is that some deluded people still blame FDR for the Pearl Harbor attack (he made it happen or allowed it to happen) just as "truthers" blame Bush for 9/11. So, if there is another domestic terrorist attack, rumors of a conspiracy will immediately arise and Obama will "own" them.

His statement was widely interpreted as a wish for abdication, which at the time was not provided for under the law.

Public sympathy grew for the emperor, and the Japanese government moved to enact a bill this year to allow him to step down. It is a one-off piece of legislation, and does not allow Naruhito or his successors to abdicate.data of pair of vector spaces and maps satisfying the condition above.

Theorems \[intro:thm-relcy-iff-spherical\] and \[intro:thm-A-model-relcy\] together imply that the functor $ \cap: {\operatorname{FS}}(X,w) \rightarrow {\operatorname{Fuk}}(Y)$ is spherical, under hypotheses that are expected to hold in great generality. We refer the reader to Section \[sec:A-model\] for the precise statement. This fact has been anticipated by the experts, and a different proof was outlined by Abouzaid in [@A]. The emphasis of our investigation is on the interaction of the spherical functor with Calabi-Yau structures, to which we turn now.

Let ${\mathcal{X}}$ be an $\infty$-category linear over some field $k$. Recall that a Serre functor [@BK-Serre] for ${\mathcal{X}}$ is an autoequivalence $S_{{\mathcal{X}}}: {\mathcal{X}}\rightarrow {\mathcal{X}}$ with the property that for any two objects $x, y$ in ${\mathcal{X}}$ we have $${\boldsymbol{\operatorname{Map}}}(x,y) \simeq {\boldsymbol{\operatorname{Map}}}(x, S_{{\mathcal{X}}}y)^{\vee}$$
