"Lullabys, Legends and Lies'', an album of mostly oddball tunes penned by Shel Silverstein. Here's a 1980 clip of Bare performing "Marie Laveau'' in Rotterdam, complete with Dutch subtitles. Daar gaan we dan!

We gave a birthday toast to Bare on his 74th back in April, mentioning at the time how much we enjoy his 2005 Dualtone release "The Moon Was Blue.'' It's nice to know the ol' coot still gets off his fishing boat occasionally to visit the recording studio.

Here they are, 10 songs that defined the Whitehall High School Class of '69. Let them be argued tonight at the Dodge Street Grill (which was the Pix Theatre back in the day) on the eve of our 40th reunion.

It's a shame the chosen beers ofmight as well have some ''mood'' music to drown out the sound of chattering teeth.)

And then, finally, spring. There always seemed to be a memorable song to wash away another gritty winter and help launch a blessed new summer in the heartland. The Mamas and Papas provided the bridge for us as freshmen with "California Dreamin'". The Young Rascals set us up twice, as sophomores and juniors, with "Groovin''' and "Beautiful Morning''. And, fittingly for our graduation sendoff, it was "Aqauarius/Let the Sunshine In'' by the Fifth Dimension.

But here are the 10 songs that mattered most during our senior year at WHS. There will be arguments about "Stand By Your Man'', the purest country song ever recorded, because not everybody in our class of 84 students was listening


to country (which is to say not everybody was camped out like me in the Walgert Hotel Tap Room. Hey, I was just mopping the floor there to earn my college tuition money!)

The truth be known, "Stand by Your Man'' probably got more juke box play in Whitehall (pop. 1,446) than all the others combined. Ask Ed "Rico'' Dubiel, whose parents owned "Johnnie's & Connie's'' just around the corner from the theatre, where you could hear fiddles and steel guitars bursting through the screen door on summer evenings. Or Sharon Sosalla, whose folks frequented that beer drinking palace before opening their own "Hank & Ann's'' on Main Street, across from the bowling alley.

Lists like this can't be limited by genre. In fact, you could argue that Jeannie C.into hits. It didn't hurt that Asher's sister, the actress Jane Asher, was dating McCartney at this time. Or that they were able to snare a contract with Capitol Records.

They had good songs to work with, indeed, and their floppy hair, proper attire and good lucks befitted the British music wave. But Peter Asher and Gordon Waller deserve credit for their strong vocal arrangements, which were on par with the Everly Brothers.

Anyone growing up in that era could instantly recite the lyrics to "World Without Love'', which topped the charts in June 1964:

Please lock me awayAnd don't allow the dayHere insideWhere I hideWith my lonelinessI don't care what they sayI won't stay in a world without love

She was so good she might have made it


you did make it to 63, all because you had a heart like a wheel. After ditching us you went on to a solo career, where you sang folk, rock, pop, rhythm and blues, country -- even opera. And it all sounded good. And you made it on seven Rolling Stone covers (this one is from December 1976) and three of your albums climbed to the top of the charts.

But the only No. 1 single of your incredible career was "You're No Good.'' Now just what was that all about?

Twenty five years is a long time. A long damn time. Were you even alive in 1984? Do you remember?

We revisited 1984 in a recent blog to check back on Cyndi Lauper. We're back today -- only for aof a heart attack at a drug rehab facility in Forest Knolls, Calif., where he had checked himself in for heroin abuse.

A group that formed in the early Sixties as Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions and morphed into the Warlocks would finally settle on a name that captured the spirit and timbre of San Francisco's psychedelic counterculture. And they would play, on and on. They played a fusion of blues, rock, folk and bluegrass, and it's improbable they ever played any song the same way twice because they were sonic innovators and, well, their stoned fans wouldn't have known the difference anyway.

The final Chicago show was No. 2,314 in the band's glorious career. That's a lot of concerts and a lot of Deadheads -- and a lot of


Bobby Braddock-Curly Putnam offering was too melancholy to go anywhere. He was hungover and ornery, and when he got to the song's talking parts he couldn't get it right without slurring the words. Ol' Possum was hurting, but good.

In other words, it was the perfect storm for a country classic -- which "He Stopped Loving Her Today'' surely became. It entered the Billboard chart on May 3 and less than two months later -- on this very day in 1980 -- it became Jones' 10th No. 1 song. It also would win the CMA Single of the Year and earn Jones a Grammy award. And it would save more than his bacon.

As Jones recounted years later: "A four-decade career was salvaged by a three-minute song.'' Three minutes andPat McLaughlin's Live in '09 which catches the Nashville funkmeister at his steamy best. Guitarist Kenny Greenberg, bass thumper Michael Rhodes and drummer Greg Morrow truly make this the most dangerous -- and bald -- live band on the planet. ... We've been listening to Go-Go Boots, the newest release from the Drive-By Truckers, and all we can say is it's one helluva crime scene. ... We weren't sure we needed another R.E.M. record until we started listening to Collapse Into Now. We're digging it... We didn't discover Mary Gauthier (above) until her amazing album Mercy Now in 2005. She has come a long way since then, even farther since her first release Dixie Kitchen which we finally tracked down. That was some twang she had back then


their latest release Tremolo should garner some attention. We played it all weekend after seeing the lads from Iowa at Shank Hall in Milwaukee. ... Dialed up Blonde on Blonde on the IPod while strolling to my favorite watering hole and if this isn't Bob Dylan at his best...maybe it was the earbuds but his voice never sounded better. And the songwriting on that album, damn. We've known this for 30 years and still can't find the words. His best work. ... Lucinda Weekend is over but the music rocks on. "Oh, my little honey bee I'm so glad you stung me." Little Honey hurts so good ... The latest CD from Chuck Prophet Let Freedom Ring is a winner (and he's playing most of these new songsand proliferation, the expression of RANK-ligand and osteoprotegerin, which can signal via the RANK pathway, on prostate cancer cells has been associated with metastatic burden and aggressive behavior.[@ref3][@ref9][@ref10] The importance of this pathway is highlighted by the development of denosumab, a human monoclonal antibody against RANK-ligand, reviewed by Lacey *et al*.[@ref11]

PSA responses (\>50% decline) were noted in 13% of patients treated with the 80 kBq dose compared to 6% with 50 kBq and 0 for 25 kBq; a similar trend was noted for 30% PSA decline.

People meet my one and only Nicky. My boy. I love him so much. Feb 2006 was when we bought him after my first cat died in a tragic and unforgetable way. Oh i miss Sumi. It had been 7 years now. Nicky had been through a lot. Had been missing for more than 4 months. He came back home! I was very happy when he came back home. After that he never want to go to the 'outside' world anymore.

A tough year for me i guess. Actually i sat the first term examination this week. I even have another two paper to answer on Monday so wish me luck people!

Briefly what happen from january to february.

January:
School starts andthe new environment. Hmmm... What else?

February:
Orientation for the second batch f1 student. Orientation for the new f4 students. Extra classes on saturday. To tell you the truth extra class had started since january. I think its the second week of january. :o almost every saturday! So much more to share but i cant remember it all. If i do remember i'll share.

Going Somewhere?

I just got back from school. Leadership camp at school from 7.30 - 5.30
I'm one of the fasilitator. I had so much fun with the other students. Learnt so much about leadership today. How to organise the files.. How to organise a ceremony and much more.

So this are some of the pictures i took from the activities today.

Alhamdulillah i didnt


fail any of the subjects. :)
I should have work harder to get better result but this is ok. I just need to work harder to turn all the b's and c's into A's. InsyaAllah.
SPM is 8 months from now. :/ butterflies are starting to fill up my stomach. Ohhh... How i wish i can get straight A+ for SPM. Amin.

Starting next week PiSSA is starting. So my schedule will be full until October. Extra class on school holidays. Extra class on weekends. Tuition. School activities.

Add math tuition at 8 so bye. Till the next post.

Democrats, labor groups and other critics mocked the new trade proposal as “NAFTA lite” when Trump announced the agreement last year after more than a year of talks with Mexico and Canada.

House Democrats insisted on revisions before they would allow the deal to be put to a vote. After months of negotiations with the Trump administration, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a series of changes to the deal on Tuesday, including stronger provisions Democrats had wanted on labor, enforcement and pharmaceuticals.

What's in the new trade deal?: From NAFTA to USMCA: Key changes on trilateral trade pact

The revised deal “is infinitely better than what was proposed by the administration,” Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters during a news conference in the Capitol.

“This is no


jumps to 75 percent under the new deal. Also, starting in 2020, 30 percent of vehicle production would have to be done by workers earning an average production wage of at least $16 per hour. By 2023, that percentage would rise to 40 percent.

Labor groups and other critics had complained those provisions didn’t go far enough and that the new agreement did not include a sufficient means to enforce such requirements.

Trade deal redux: New trade deal with Canada, Mexico borrows heavily from pact that Trump abandoned

But House Democrats said Tuesday a series of revisions they negotiated with the Trump administration would provide for adequate monitoring, accountability and enforcement. One provision, for example, calls for the establishment of attachés in Mexico City to regularly monitor whether Mexico is adheringa spaceship 400,000 kilometers from here, and now the NASA engineers can’t complete a mission at a height of only 400 kilometers? I realized that they didn’t land on the moon. Almost everyone to whom I said that ridiculed me.

“About a year and a half ago my eldest daughter asked me: ‘Who said that the world is a ball and not flat?’ I searched on Google, and I read a ridiculous article on the subject that suffered from misinformation.

Although the latest incarnation of the theory erupted in the past two years, the expression Flatearth already has 10 million results on Google and is very successful in pop culture. The rapper B.o.B was photographed on a hill, with a distant city on the horizon, claiming that this was unequivocal proof that the world is flat.

“I’m fighting against one of the biggest lies in the world,” he boasted, and later wrote the music to a song slamming an astrophysicist who had ridiculed him. Basketball player Shaquille O’Neal joined him: “I travel from coast to coast, and this garbage looks flat. I don’t go uppublic List<string> clients_Id { get; set; }

and reconstruction, which corresponds to the extremality of infinite Gibbs measure induced by free boundary conditions. It has been shown in quite general settings that the Glauber dynamics exhibits rapid mixing, and in particular an $O(n\log n)$ mixing time, when the system admits a unique infinite volume Gibbs measure by Martinelli, Sinclair and Weitz [@martinelli2004glauber; @martinelli2007fast] and most generally in Weitz’s thesis [@weitz2004mixing]. Beyond the uniqueness threshold, the Glauber dynamics for $k$-coloring may not even be ergodic under some boundary conditions, but it is natural to consider the behavior under free boundary conditions.

There have been intensive studies on the mixing time of coloring model from both theoretical computer science and statistical physics. For $k$-coloring on general graphs with $n$ vertices and maximal degree $d$, the Glauber dynamics is irreducible whenbound of $O(n\log n)$. Our proof is a modification of the techniques used in [@martinelli2004glauber]. The main technical difficulty of directly applying their method is their (non-obvious) restriction of “admissive” and “well-connected”, i.e. for any boundary conditions on arbitrary subset the set of proper configurations is non-empty and connected via single site update. These conditions may not be satisfied in models with hard constraints, in particular $k$-coloring model. Intuitively, below the uniqueness threshold, there will be vertices whose states are “frozen” by their neighbors. While block dynamics can update “frozen” vertices together with their neighbors in a single move, extra efforts are needed for single site dynamics to pass around the barrier and change them, leading to the failure of comparing two dynamics.

Therefore, we use Evol_Span and Evol_Rate of each GWAS tested SNP allele and the corresponding minor allele frequency (MAF) to calculate the evolutionarily adjusted allelic association *P*-value rank, E-rank, as previously described \[[@CR5]\]. Briefly, E-rank = (P/MAF) × (1/\[K~r~ · K~t~\]), where P is the phenotype-association P-value of the position, K~r~ is the rank of the Evol_Rate of the position and K~t~ is the rank of the Evol_Span of the position.

We use a PostgreSQL database back-end to store and query the GRASP2 trait association data along with information about each mutation's evolutionary context.

However, increasing data suggest the respiratory failure that develops in COVID-19 infection differs from that in other ARDS patients in many ways ([@bib0145]). Features including relatively good lung compliance despite poor oxygenation, the lack of pulmonary vasoconstriction with resultant significant shunting, and thrombotic microangiopathy ([@bib0085], [@bib0160], [@bib0080]) suggest that vascular endothelial dysfunction plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 infections ([@bib0170]). Statin treatment might improve endothelial and vascular function in these patients. In fact, a combination of statin/ARB treatments was used in an unconventional and poorly documented experience to target the host response and prevent endothelial barrier damage in Ebola patients during the outbreak in West Africa ([@bib0060], [@bib0055]). A similar approach might be considered for patients with


severe COVID-19 infection since both statins and ARBs upregulate ACE2 activity and counter endothelial dysfunction ([@bib0065]).

Markedly elevated D-dimer levels and high incidence of thrombotic complications recently reported in critically ill COVID-19 patients have raised concerns about increased thrombogenicity in these patients ([@bib0035], [@bib0105]). One study reported a 31% cumulative incidence of thrombotic complications among 184 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia admitted to an intensive care unit despite standard pharmacological thromboprophylaxis ([@bib0105]). Some centers recommend prophylactic anticoagulation for all patients with COVID-19 infection, and therapeutic anticoagulation to be strongly considered for patients deemed to be at high risk for coagulopathy. Others have proposed thrombolytic treatment in refractory cases of hypoxia ([@bib0140]). The role of statins in managing venous thromboembolism has been explored in previous studies. The JUPITER trial, which studiedday (March 14), men are supposed to return the favour by giving something to those who gave them chocolates on Valentine's Day. Many men, however, give only to their girlfriends. Originally the return gift was supposed to be white chocolate or marshmallows (hence the name "White Day"). However, more recently men have taken the name to a different meaning, thus lingerie is quite a common gift.

In Korea, there is also an additional Black Day, held on April 14, when males who did not receive anything for Valentine's Day gather together to eat Jajangmyun (Chinese-style noodles in black sauce).

In Chinese Culture, there is a similar counterpart of the Valentine's Day. It is called "The Night of Sevens", on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar;


significant in the light of improving life expectancy and the associated increase in cases of AMD, which is the greatest cause of blindness amongst people over the age of 50 and affects millions of people worldwide. And as we age, it is more and more difficult to avoid. Amongst people over 80, this accelerated aging of the retina affects nearly one in four. People with AMD gradually lose their perception of colours and details to the point that they can no longer read, write, watch television or even recognize a face.

as the trial judge aptly stated on denying a new trial, "possession" should have been followed by "of a still," otherwise the jury could have misconsidered Minirth's presence under possessing whiskey, a crime for which he was not on trial.
Charge 4 is bad because (a) count 1 of the indictment charged Minirth unlawfully distilled, hence an acquittal under possession of a still might not necessarily free him of making whiskey as an aider; (b) "a complete still" is misleading under § 132, supra; and (c) aiding and abetting under the evidence could have fitted Minirth's actions as much as the role of principal.

She will hold her press conference at Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy, an ethanol producer in Council Bluffs, Iowa, the same plant where Trump touted his action expanding sales of 15 percent ethanol.

Trump wants backsies:Trump is seeking to mollify corn farmers who are furious at the waivers, according to a Reuters report Tuesday. He personally approved EPA's decision to go ahead with the 31 waivers earlier this month, but in a two-hour-long Cabinet meeting, Trump told his staff to figure out a way to pacify the farmers. According to a refinery industry source, the president asked EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler if he could take


Tumor-associated redox state in metastatic colorectal cancer.
The high incidence of recurrence and metastasizing in colorectal cancer (CRC) poses the challenge for the improvement in long-term treatment outcome. To determine the major indicators of redox-formative molecules in the tissue of metastatic CRC (mCRC), stages Т2-4N0-2M0G2-3, namely the rate of superoxide radical (SR) generation, nitric oxide (NO) content, the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), lactoferrin (LF) content, and "free" iron and their association with some clinical and pathological characteristics of the patients. mCRC samples from 51 patients were analyzed (stage II, 31 patients; stage III, 20 patients). The LF and "free" iron were assessed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) at the temperature of 77 °K. The rate of SR and NO generation was determined with spin traps (ТЕМРО-Н, diethyl dithiocarbamate).    Minimal output

Careful readers, therefore, should not become confused when they see seemingly contradictory figures from the IMF and the OECD. Table 1 shows the latest OECD data for general and central government gross debt, and compares the latter to Reinhart and Rogoff’s figures (see the two rightmost columns). As the table makes clear, Reinhart and Rogoff’s estimates generally resemble the standard measure, with the glaring exceptions of the United States and Canada.

With Trump, everyone is readying for DEFCON 1.”

Clinton is going to need Sanders’ supporters in the general election and will do nothing to push them away, even while she looks over Sanders’ head to Trump.

“I’m not calling myself [the presumptive nominee],” Clinton said in her first comments after the Indiana primary Wednesday, in an interview with CNN. “I know there are still some contests ahead and I respect Senator Sanders and whatever choices he make.”

problem (missing the load-balancer)?  If so, how do I fix this.  I don't see a way to assign an an IP address to a load-balancer.  Is a CNAME record required for this kind of setup?  If so, how do I configure this?
Thanks.

A:

Your load balancer will be the spot where SSL terminates, and then carries on to your insecure servers running on port 80. You should change your EC2 instance back to port 80.
Yes, you should point a CNAME at your load balancer from the domain the certificate was created for. You do not get an IP for ELB's, as there may actually be many load balancers behind the scenes, which you don't see, all hiding behind the AWS CNAME.

Last season of The Bachelor ended with a twist and a bang after protagonist Arie Luyendyk Jr. dumped his chosen bride-to-be, contestant Becca Kufrin, on camera. In an unprecedented move, he ultimately proposed to the runner-up, becoming one of the franchise’s most infamous villains but also setting up the arc for the current season of The Bachelorette. This iteration of the show was designed to — finally — give Kufrin the televised happily-ever-after of her dreams. The motto accompanying the unveiling of her official Bachelorette portrait was her own no-nonsense catchphrase: “Let’s do the damn thing!”

But, as usual, most of the best drama and comic relief on this season of The Bachelorette, the show’s 14th, has come not from Becca herself but from the


Characterization of the oxidative metabolites of 17beta-estradiol and estrone formed by 15 selectively expressed human cytochrome p450 isoforms.
We systematically characterized the oxidative metabolites of 17beta-estradiol and estrone formed by 15 human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms. CYP1A1 had high activity for 17beta-estradiol 2-hydroxylation, followed by 15alpha-, 6alpha-, 4-, and 7alpha-hydroxylation. However, when estrone was the substrate, CYP1A1 formed more 4-hydroxyestrone than 15alpha- or 6alpha-hydroxyestrone, with 2-hydroxyestrone as the major metabolite. CYP1A2 had the highest activity for the 2-hydroxylation of both 17beta-estradiol and estrone, although it also had considerable activity for their 4-hydroxylation (9-13% of 2-hydroxylation). CYP1B1 mainly catalyzed the formation of catechol estrogens, with 4-hydroxyestrogens predominant. CYP2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, and 2D6 each showed a varying degree of low catalytic activity for estrogen 2-hydroxylation, whereas CYP2C18 and CYP2E1investigated by flow-cytometer(Fujii et al., 2013).

The One Time We're Not Proud That We're Not Penn State

Princeton Review has released its annual ranking of the country's top party schools. And this year, our sort-of-rivals from Penn State top the list. Congrats to the Nittany Lions (and to our friends at Onward State) for this enviable honor. Not shockingly, no Ivies made the list.


repeated, the aluminum oxide films 5 are sequentially laminated. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1E, a dielectric film 6 having a desirable film thickness is formed on the lower layer 1. In this way, according to the ALD method, a thin film is formed by increasing the atomic layer one by one. As a result, even in case of the high aspect structure, it is possible to grow the thin film that is fine and excellent in quality.
However, in case of the ALD method, the quality of the film formed at an initial stage is greatly influenced by the state of the surface of the lower layer 1. For example, if an organic material is deposited on the surface of the lower layer 1 or ifto defend her, and she doesn’t need lessons from me about the best way to dry a tear-soaked award-dusting cloth, or the best brands of chocolate ice cream to fortify yourself for that arduous trip to the bank.

Patient Research Experience Survey 2019/20

Each year, we approach patients and their carers, asking them to tell us about their experience of taking part in a research study; both the good, and the not so great.

We conduct this survey to look for ways to improve how clinical studies are delivered, and to make sure all patients have the best possible experience of being in a study. The information given is then used to understand what works best for patients, and where we can make helpful changes in the way we do things.

One example of a change that has been made since reviewing their local PRES data, is by the research staff from the Clinical Research Facility at University College Hospital who are now asking patients during their earlyto comeback to the parent url /templates, rendered ! is printed again.
So there is a way to "optimize" it and not rerender the namespaceList or I need to choose between, or am I wrong ?

A:

Don’t worry about how many times the component’s render() method is called. Rendering is very cheap in React, and if the content has not changed, it will not actually touch the DOM.
You should only start worrying about render() method calls when you start to experience real performance problems in your app which is very unlikely for one-off things like navigations. For example, you might want to optimize animations or form components that have ton of inputs.
If and when you have this problem (not earlier!), you can check out React guides


CCMapper: An adaptive NLP-based free-text chief complaint mapping algorithm.
Chief complaint (CC) is among the earliest health information recorded at the beginning of a patient's visit to an emergency department (ED). We propose a heuristic methodology for automatically mapping the free-text data into a structured list of CCs. A comprehensive structured list categorizing CCs was developed by experienced Emergency Medicine (EM) physicians. Using this list, we developed a natural language processing-based algorithm, referred to as Chief Complaint Mapper (CCMapper), for automatically mapping a CC into the most appropriate category (ies). We trained and validated CCMapper using free-text CC data from the Mayo Clinic ED in Rochester, MN. We developed a consensus-based validation approach to handle both indifferences and disagreements between the two EM physicians who manually mapped a randomsample of free-text CCs into categories within the structured list. The kappa statistic demonstrated a high level of agreement (κ = 0.958) between the two physicians with less than 2% human error. CCMapper achieved a total sensitivity of 94.2% with a specificity of 99.8% and F-score of 94.7% on the validation set. The sensitivity of CCMapper when mapping free-text data with multiple CCs was 82.3% with a specificity of 99.1% and total F-score of 82.3%. Due to its simplicity, high performance, and capability of incorporating new free-text CC data, CCMapper can be readily adopted by other EDs to support clinical decision making. CCMapper can facilitate the development of predictive models for the type and timing of important events in ED (e.g., ICU admission).


value of each and all r,g,b component for all pixels. That is why image compression is possible: if you just find the right way of representing your information (like the value of your 3*1 million RGB components), you might do that with LESS than 3*1 million numbers; specifically, since this numbers have a pattern.
It is possible to try to identify the FORM of the sub-region of the 3-million-dimensional space where human faces tend to appear. Then given another image which you don't know if it's a human face or not, you could try to GUESS if it is a human face. How? Well, check if the point corresponding to that new image, when plotted on that 3*1 million-dimensional space, is close to the sub-region where the points ofhuman faces usually are. Sometimes they call the process of identifying this subregions by the name of "manifold learning".
Ok, lots of information. Just think about it for a while. It's hard (actually impossible) to visualize spaces with more than 3 dimensions, but once you get the idea of what's going on, often you'll see that your intuitions about what  happens in 2D or 3D carry on.
Try this exercise: imagine a black-and-white image with just 3 pixels; each pixel is then just a value between 0 and 1 (0 being completely black and 1 being completely white, and values in between being shades of gray). Now imagine the set of images where the first pixel is darker than the second one, and the second one is darker


Specifically, the points corresponding to images of human faces would most likely NOT occupy the whole 3-million dimensional space. We could actually try to estimate the "shape" of the sub-region where human faces are by using techniques called "manifold learning".
Now, notice that you could use the same ideas as above to analyze any other kind of data. Results of a statistical survey? Imagine that you have 50 questions, each one being a value from 0 to 100. You ask those questions to one person and get 50 numbers back. You ask them to another person and get another 50 numbers. How to "visualize" them? Plot them in a 50-dimensional space where each axis corresponds to the value of one given answer. A point in that space then correspondsmeasuring the specific force and angular velocity of a moving body utilizes an orthogonal triad of rotating accelerometers. This system reduces the number of components required to provide an IMU, but there still remains the requirement for spinning three accelerometers around the three orthogonal axes with the accompanying requirement for bearings and spin motors and resolvers. It has also been suggested that the spinning accelerometers may be vibrated in an oscillating manner instead of spinning around the orthogonal axes.
A breakthrough improvement over the arrangements just described may be found in a copending patent application, Ser. No. 045,045, filed May 1, 1987, by Robert E.

4. Discussion {#sec4}
=============

Anemia is a critical clinical problem in the elderly population, especially in hospitalized geriatric patients, and is known to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The present institutional based cross-sectional study found that the prevalence of anemia in elderly patients visiting outpatient department was high, and elevated ESR and being vegetarian were found to be strongly associated with geriatric anemia.

In this study, elderly patients had anemia prevalence of 54.5%, and according to WHO cutoff anemia has severe public health significance in this group \[[@B1]\]. It is comparable to the prevalence reported by Sahin et al. (54.9%) \[[@B33]\]. ItRed blood cell Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase activity in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
To determine the possible role of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) in the pathophysiology of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS), we measured SOD1 activity in red blood cell lysates in patients with SALS. SOD1 activity in red blood cell lysates was independent of age and sex in control patients, and no significant difference was found between the levels of SOD1 activity in controls (1174.8 +/- 213, n = 29) and SALS patients (1203.4 +/- 214, n = 27). These results suggest that point mutations in the SOD1 gene are apparently unrelated to SALS.

Those studies reported the FA changes in the optic nerve on some specific slices using coronal DTI, which could not reflect the FA changes along the whole intraorbital optic nerve (ION), resulting in possible bias in the assessment. Moreover, the posterior segment of ION was more frequently involved in NMO patients \[[@pone.0126574.ref017]\], necessitating the methodology to improve and multi-segmented FA value assessment would be more appropriatetrauma history, and no inflammatory disease of the central nervous system; (3) no history of psychoactive drug or hormone usage; and (4) normal finding on conventional MRI of the brain, especially for the visual pathway region. There was no differences of the age and gender between NMO and NC groups.

Data acquisition {#sec008}
----------------

Images were acquired on a 1.5 T MR system (Signa HDxt, General Electric Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, USA) and an eight-channel phased array head coil was used. The standard brain MR imaging protocols, including axial T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) (TR/TE = 5100 ms/113.3 ms, slice thickness = 5.0 mm, slice gap = 1.0 mm, Matrix = 320×320, FOV = 24 cm×24 cm, NEX = 2), axial T1-FLAIR (TR/TE = 1792.3 ms/24.4 ms, slice thickness = 5.0 mm, slice gap


was based on the comparison with the signal of the cerebral white matter on orbit MR T2WI. If the signal of optic nerve was higher than that of the cerebral white matter, it was considered as high signal, and if the signal of optic nerve was equal to that of the cerebral white matter, it was considered as iso-signal (normal). The signal evaluation was performed by visual assessment.

Data processing {#sec010}
---------------

All the conventional images were reviewed on a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) workstation, and DTI data were analyzed on an Advantage Windows workstation (Functool version 9.3.01, General Electric, Milwaukee, USA) by two observers who were blind to the clinical details with consensus reading. The post-processing of DTI data was conducted as follows: (1) geometric distortion correction; (2)

New Year's Eve is a special time for many, and for Craig Friesen and Matt Wiens, it was especially meaningful.

The Saskatoon couple was married on Dec. 31 in Osler, Sask., in the presence of family, friends and the church community.

The men's wedding marks a point in history for the Mennonite denomination in Canada. Friesen and Wiens are the first same-sex couple publicly married in a Canadian Mennonite church.

"Our relationship doesn't feel different, but our relationship with our community and with our faith has changed at least a little bit. It was really beautiful and freeing," Friesen said.

Craig Friesen and Matt Wiens were married on New Year's Eve. (Rachel Bergen/CBC News) Friesen and Wiens are hopeful other LGBT Mennonites will learn from their example that they don't have toon their own whether or not they would be welcoming and the church would not take action against it. This was decided, in part, to keep some congregations from leaving the denomination.

Craig Friesen and Matt Wiens proposed to each other last year. (Rachel Bergen/CBC News) Friesen and Wiens attend Nutana Park Mennonite Church in Saskatoon, which has been publicly inclusive of the LGBT community for three years.

Co-pastors Anita Retzlaff and Patrick Preheim married the couple in the church Friesen grew up in, Osler Mennonite, combining both the church communities that mean so much to them.

It was a bold move for the two pastors, who said there are vocal Mennonite congregations across the country that don't agree with gay marriage.

I don’t think he’s made his best work yet and I don’t know if that’s going to happen.

That’s my analysis of it. A journeyman isn’t a horrible tag to hang on someone. IMaynard Keenan, Chris would have been a little more sensitive & loving regardless if he knew Maynard well or not, Chris had all loving bones…

Tox Ravenblood

The speculation runs deep

Trovoid

I wouldn’t call it speculation. These are from observations about Chris when he was alive. We saw the way he spoke of other people and how he responded when those around him did die.

Son Of A Nam Vet Mike

Exactly, well said…

Trovoid

Yeah. The way Maynard talks about other people’s deaths comes across as insensitive. He almost seems annoyed by people grieving. Just because he didn’t think of Chris all week doesn’t mean nobody else did.. Chris would’ve never said anything like this.

Maynard acts like everyone other than him is stupid and he tries to “enlighten” us with all of these hard

In our last installment, DESIGN, we talked about the strategic planning for your event or meeting. Now in the next phase, DEVELOP, we roll up our sleeves and start getting our hands dirty. To this point, Preston Productions has been working with you and your team to create a road map to and for your event. The DEVELOP step is when we create, produce, and coordinate everything that will go into the actual meeting itself.

It is time to get your cast prepared, but don’t


the right players in the right place with the right message. We have learned that this small group of collaborators is the most efficient way to get your ideas to the stage.

At Preston Productions, we think of your meeting or event as a show. We pay attention to the tone and tenor of each presentation and work with you to position them, ensuring that the pace and impact of the meeting are in sync with your schedule. When all the elements are strung together with care, the audience’s reception can be phenomenal! From “curtain rise” to “curtain call”, everyone is engaged and receiving the messages set forth by you and the team.. Without that, you’ve wasted a lot of money and a lot of people’s time.

By taking timeset you on a path to build an event that will engage and incentivize your audience.

Thorough DISCOVERY at the start will make for an efficient production process right through the event itself. Not only will it add quality to your messaging, but set the foundation for the remaining 3D’s in our process. As a result, your whole event will be more cost-effective and more audience effective!

Our next D will show you how we begin to form an event or communication that will have a predictable and measurable outcome, all the while delivering efficiency and value to your message. The conversation continues.

Leaders who can inform and inspire in this environment will excel. Our most forward-looking clients pushed us to stay ahead the curve, and I’m grateful for that.

Shakespeare reminds us that “All the world’s a stage”. Today’s complex and diverse “World Stage” requires a vast array of new tools and techniques. While many companies have struggled to perform over the past five years, those that adapted are expecting a new period of growth and optimism. Our move positioned us to help strong players thrive in a world of new stages, new stories, and constant changes.

In 94404, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold is 50% higher than in Foster City, and 97.1% less than the national average.

When it’s your turn, play a card from your hand. If it’s a number you move that many spaces in any direction, even diagonal. If it’s a face card it will explode where you’re standing. There will be more on the explosions later.

Movement

If you move, then you must move on top of cards from one adjacent card to the next one. You cannot hop over any holes in the board and players themselves are considered a hole for the sake of movement. You are encouraged to move to new locations unless you have to move back to an old location. This means if you play a six but can only move onto an “island” of one card then you just go 1-2…6! andand other great stuff. It’s hilarious, informative, and fun!

Steve Jobs has stepped down as CEO. Wow! Time to sell your Apple Stock! hahaha. Hopefully, it won’t be as drastic a fall as Microsoft took when Bill Gates left, but then again, Microsoft seemed to be trying to head every which way while Apple has always seemed quite unified in one direction. So it should hold up well with new CEO, former COO, Mr. Cook.

What this means for Apple as they head forward is unsure right away stock-wise, but we’ll see in the coming months and years.


Q:

Test driven development on iOS for network connections

Struggling to find a good TDD process on iOS for network connection tests.
At the moment I am manually testing the functionality by manually switching off / on my Mac network connection.
Any suggestions?

A:

If you are test-driving, I would remove the real network from the picture.  I'd mock out the API which returns an error code or throws an error (Kiwi has a nice ability to replace real methods during tests) to force it to respond the way you'd like.
If you're not sure how the API will respond in your circumstance, I would spike that using network link conditioner or other methods with copious logging in your program.  Once you determine how the condition looks to your program, go back todigest; PA1 the digital representation may contain a watermark, an invisible indication of ownership which cannot be removed from the digital representation and may even be detected in an analog copy made from the digital representation; and PA1 the above techniques can be employed in systems that not only protect the digital representations, but also meter their use and/or detect illegal use.
For an example of a system that uses encryption to protect digital representations, see U.S. Pat. No. 5,646,999, Saito, Data Copyright Management Method, issued Jul. 8, 1997; for a general discussion of digital watermarking, see Jian Zhao, "Look, It's Not There", in: BYTE Magazine, January, 1997. Detailed discussions of particular techniques for digital watermarking may be found in E. Koch and J. Zhao, "Towards Robust and Hidden


illegitimate copies, the watermark at least makes it possible to determine the owner of the original digital representation and given that evidence, to pursue the pirate for copyright infringement and/or violation of a confidentiality agreement.
If the user of client 105(j) wishes to send an original digital representation 19 to DR server 129 for distribution, editor/viewer 115 will send digital representation 119 to server 129. In so doing, editor/viewer 115 may use security programs 107 to watermark the digital representation, authenticate it, and encrypt it so that it can be decrypted only by DR Server 129. Manager 131 in DR server 129 will, when it receives digital representation 119, use security programs 107 to decrypt digital representation 119, confirm its authenticity, enter information about it in management data basewere literally blown from his bead.

Imagine a situation where we want to make a system which learns to play an RTS game using RL. The set of states an RTS game can be in is huge, and thus typically, an abstraction is performed, and a reduced state space is used for RL. Thic captures a lot of domain knowledge (and thus, is considered as “required information”).

Although most upwardly mobile

a compulsion to control

He also has his own experiences with the ups and downs and ins and outs of minor fame – he is discovered, adored, rewarded, and then soon finds himself verging on being discarded as others arrive to challenge his position, seduce his audience and steal his plumped-up slightly ramshackle troubadour throne.

He began the noughties by becoming, in the standard overnight way that didn't really mean it happened overnight, it was just a nice part of the story to explain it that way, a success, as the winsome and winning Badly Drawn Boy, and heMarch 8, 2015, Orlando’s league opener and the hugely emotional realization of an eight-year odyssey to reach Major League level.

// Background returns a non-nil,there is much interest in using the Western Hemisphere information to better understand how fall armyworm is moving in the Eastern Hemisphere and its eventual distribution at equilibrium. Both will be largely determined by seasonal wind patterns, regional and local environmental conditions, and the availability of host plants, particularly corn. With respect to climate, the situation in Africa will likely reflect that of South America more than North America.

The northern portion of South America has not been studied using our suite of markers yet represents a potentially important region for understanding fall armyworm migration patterns. The two American continents are linked by two obvious pathways for natural migration between the continents for flying insects. One is the land connection comprised of Central America and the Isthmus of Panama,


and the other is the chain of islands in the Caribbean Sea known as the Greater and Lesser Antilles. Our previous studies indicated that large population movements in the Caribbean were unlikely with little mixing observed between fall armyworms from the two continents, but we have no data from Central America or Panama.

We are in the process of extensive surveys of fall armyworm in Ecuador, which is the closest location we have analyzed to date to the Isthmus of Panama and Central America. We present in this study the first genetic description of fall armyworm from cornfields in Ecuador, which was then compared with those from select corn-growing locations in the Caribbean and South America to investigate possible migratory relationships. The results were further assessed within the contextfrom previous studies were stored at -20°C. Species identity was initially determined by morphology and confirmed by sequence analysis of the COIB region.

PCR amplification for all segments was performed in a 30-μl reaction mix containing 3 μl 10X manufacturer's reaction buffer, 1 μl 10mM dNTP, 0.5 μl 20-μM primer mix, 1 μl DNA template (between 0.05--0.5 μg), 0.5-unit Taq DNA polymerase (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA). The thermocycling program was 94°C (1 min), followed by 33 cycles of 92°C (30 s), 56°C (45 s), 72°C (45 s), and a final segment of 72°C for 3 min. Typically 96 PCR amplifications were performed at the same time using either 0.2-ml tube strips or 96 well microtiter plates. All primers were obtained from Integrated DNA

Why doesn’t the NFL double or triple dip and make the Sunday Ticket something anyone can purchase? The more carriers and subscribers who purchase this would result in even more revenue into the NFL’s coffers.

I can understand the initial exclusivity, but just like with “exclusive” cell phones after they’ve been out for awhile they go over to other carriers as well.

I’m tired of the overuse of “exclusive”, like how every time a new phone comes out AT&T has the “exclusive” rights on it so no one else can buy that phone even if they want to.

But now that DTV is being bought by AT&T we can expect the price to skyrocket to the highest possible cost.

How else will AT&T, the greedy corporation, ever pay back the $50 billion purchase price?!

Someday in the future there will be 10 monster corporations controlling everything. The only “good news” is the NFL won’t be one of them.

I don’t get it. As a kid in school I was taught monopolies were broken up and illegal, because they could abuse their power over American Citizens. All I see today are Monopolies under a bunch of different teams. AT&T a number of years ago filed Bankruptcy and now they are one of the most powerful Corporations in the World.

A Nebraska state senator has resigned amid a political row sparked by a photo he posted on Twitter mocking women protesting against Donald Trump.

Bill Kintner retweeted a post implying that three female protesters were too unattractive to be sexually assaulted.

The tweet drew criticism from other lawmakers, who threatened to submit legislation to boot him out of office.

Hundreds of thousands of protesters around the world took to the street on Saturday, supporting a range of causes.

Mr Kintner retweeted a comment Sunday by conservative radio personality Larry Elder that mocked female protesters.

Mr Elder had posted a photo of three women holding signs apparentlybanking and criminal justice systems, rights in regards to parenting and privacy, addressing severe income inequality, dishonest U.S. foreign policies, and of course, healthcare availability. Sanders and his supporters are considered progressive because of their ideas on reform and repair, but Sanders has had mostly the same beliefs and political positions for his entire career.

It’s no surprise that Bernie Sanders’ consistency in his values has earned him some of the most devout supporters in the political scene today — more so than any one of his Democratic rivals. Harvard’s polls continue to prove that Sanders is the most desirable politician in office, and his rhetoric increases in popularity with each speech and appearance. The latest poll conducted by Harvard pertained to the Democrats and who the leader of


Does anybody want hugs? This is a great day to ask your friends! Especially those who do, but they’re afraid to ask. Put a #sendhugs message out for them.

Two people who deserve it are Fred Patten and David (Poppa Bookworm) for the amazing writing and assistance they give to make this blog.

Hugging is such a “furry” thing. It’s one of the big reasons they’re so loveable. I really liked writing about how it makes a folk signifier: “Hugs are the handshake of furries” – Artists explore cultural meaning of touch.

September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day. This has hit close to home with a good furry friend who lost a brother, and nobody saw it coming. When people die before their time, it often involves problems they can’tQ:

When a word ends in 's' or 'x', do you add 's or just an '?

1) Alex's house
2) Alex' house

When the noun ends with the letter 's' or 'x', do I need to put 's' after an apostrophe or not?
I remember I read some rules related to this in my school grammar book, but now I've forgotten it.

A:

X-case
Use the regular apostrophe s: "Alex's" is correct.
S-case
Any name whose last syllable is pronounced with a long eez sound should have just the apostrophe, whereas others have apostrophe s. The followings are correct:

Jones's
Menzies's
Kents's
Jesus's
Xerxes'
Euripides'

to determine how health systems constraints and facilitators impact on the performance of NIPs in sub-Saharan Africa. The NIPs serve as a platform for the delivery of several immunization services. These include routine childhood, adolescent and maternal immunization programmes, mass immunization campaigns, outbreak response or emergency vaccination services and introduction of new, improved or underused vaccines into existing NIPs. Ultimately, an in-depth review incorporating the mass of these services would not be appropriate. As such, a single immunization programme---the human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization programme---was selected as a proxy or tracer immunization programme for the purpose of this systematic review. Our interest in HPV immunization programmes stems from the fact that they present a unique challenge to health systems in sub-Saharan Africa compared with routine childhood immunization programmes. Foremostthen extracted and recorded in a database. The extracted data set was then subjected to rigorous thematic analysis with careful consideration for prevailing contextual factors reported for the relevant countries.

Given that majority of sub-Saharan African countries is yet to implement nationwide HPV immunization programmes through their NIPs, we explored outcomes on health systems constraints to implementation. Where studies investigated potential or anticipated health systems constraints and facilitators to the performance of nationwide HPV immunization programmes should they be implemented, these outcomes were also considered. In countries with existing HPV immunization programmes (at the time the studies were conducted), either as part of NIPs or demonstration projects, we also explored findings related to health systems constraints and facilitators to the acceptance and uptake of the HPV vaccine.
