Generic Framework {#sec:framework}
=================

In this section, we propose a generic framework for escaping saddle points while solving nonconvex problems of form . One of the primary difficulties in reaching a second-order critical point is the presence of saddle points. To evade such points, one needs to use properties of both gradients and Hessians. To this end, our framework is based on two core subroutines: ${\textsc{Gradient-Focused-Optimizer}}$ and ${\textsc{Hessian-Focused-Optimizer}}$.

The idea is to use these two subroutines, each focused on different aspects of the optimization procedure. ${\textsc{Gradient-Focused-Optimizer}}$ focuses on using gradient information for decreasing the function. On its own, the ${\textsc{Gradient-Focused-Optimizer}}$ might not converge to a local minimizer since


function $g$ will be critical for the overall rate of Algorithm \[alg:framework\]. Typically, ${\textsc{Gradient-Focused-Optimizer}}$ is a first-order method, since the primary aim of this subroutine is to focus on gradient based optimization.

-   ${\textsc{Hessian-Focused-Optimizer}}$: Suppose $(y,\tau) = {\textsc{Hessian-Focused-Optimizer}}(x, n, \epsilon, \gamma)$ where $y \in \mathbb{R}^d$ and $\tau \in \{\emptyset, \diamond\}$. If $\tau = \emptyset$, then $y$ is a $(\epsilon,\gamma)$-second order critical point with probability at least $1 - q$. Otherwise if $\tau = \diamond$, then $y$ satisfies the following condition:

    1.  \[itm:ha1\] $\mathbb{E}[f(y)] \leq f(x)$,

    2.  \[itm:ha2\] $\mathbb{E}[f(y)] \leq f(x) - h(n, \epsilon, \gamma)$ when $\lambda_{\min}(\nabla^2 f(x)) \leq - \gamma$ for some function $h:\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{R}^+ \times \mathbb{R}^+ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$.

As an instantiation of our framework, we use a mix of [Adam]{}, which is popular in deep learning community, and an [ApproxCubicDescent]{}for the practical reasons mentioned in Section \[sec:practical\]. This method with ${\textsc{Adam}\xspace}$ and ${\textsc{ApproxCubicDescent}\xspace}$. The parameters of these algorithms were chosen to produce the best generalization on a held out test set. The regularization parameter $M$ was chosen as the smallest value such that the function value does not fluctuate in the first 10 epochs. We use the initialization suggested in [@martens2010deep] and a mini-batch size of 1000 for all the algorithms. We report objective function value against wall clock time and ISO calls.

The results are presented in Figure \[fig:curves-mnist\], which shows that our proposed mix framework was the


we use Lemma \[lem:nonconvex-variance-lemma\] to bound $\mathbb{E}[\|v^{s+1}_{t}\|^2]$, so that upon substituting it in Equation , we see that $$\begin{aligned}
    & A^{s+1}_{t+1} \leq \mathbb{E}[f(x^{s+1}_{t})]  - \left(\eta_t - \tfrac{\mu_{t+1}\eta_t}{\beta_t} - \eta_t^2L - 2\mu_{t+1}\eta_t^2\right) \mathbb{E}[\|\nabla f(x^{s+1}_{t})\|^2] \nonumber\\
    & \qquad \qquad + \left[\mu_{t+1}\bigl(1 + \eta_t\beta_t + 2\eta_t^2L^2\bigr)+\eta_t^2L^3\right]
    \mathbb{E}\left[\| x^{s+1}_t - \tilde{x}^s \|^2 \right] \nonumber \\
    & \leq A^{s+1}_{t} - \bigl(\eta_t - \tfrac{\mu_{t+1}\eta_t}{\beta_t} - \eta_t^2L - 2\mu_{t+1}\eta_t^2\bigr) \mathbb{E}[\|\nabla f(x^{s+1}_{t})\|^2].
    \end{aligned}$$ The second inequality follows from the definition of $\mu_{t}$ and $A_t^{s+1}$. Since $\eta_t = \eta = 1/(4Ln^{2/3})$ for $j > 0$ and $t \in \{0, \dots, j-1\}$, $$\begin{aligned}
    A^{s+1}_{j} \leq A^{s+1}_0 - \upsilon_n {\sum\nolimits}_{t=0}^{j-1} \mathbb{E}[\|\nabla f(x^{s+1}_{t})\|^2],
    \label{eq:R-j-lyp}
    \end{aligned}$$ where $$\upsilon_n(e-1)\eta/8$ (follows from Equation ). Substituting the above lower bound in Equation , we obtain the following: $$\begin{aligned}
        \frac{1}{T_g} \sum_{s=0}^{S-1}\sum_{t=0}^{m-1} \mathbb{E}[\|\nabla f(x^{s+1}_{t})\|^2] \leq \frac{40Ln^{2/3}\mathbb{E}[f(x^{0}) - f(x^S_m)]}{T_g}.
        \end{aligned}$$ From the definition of $(y,z)$ in output of Algorithm \[alg:svrg\] i.e., $y$ is Iterate $x_a$ chosen uniformly random from $\{\{x^{s+1}_t\}_{t=0}^{m-1}\}_{s=0}^{S-1}$ and $z = x^{S}_m$, it is clear that Algorithm \[alg:svrg\] satisfies the  \[itm:ga2\] requirement of ${\textsc{Gradient-Focused-Optimizer}}$ with $g(n,\epsilon) = T_\epsilon/40Ln^{2/3}$. Since both \[itm:ga1\] and  \[itm:ga2\] are satisified for Algorithm \[alg:svrg\], we conclude that ${\textsc{Svrg}\xspace}$ is a ${\textsc{Gradient-Focused-Optimizer}}$.

Proof of Lemma \[lem:hdescent-hopt\] {#sec:hdescent-appendix}
====================================

The first important observation is that the function value never increases because $y = \arg\min_{z \in \{u, x\}} f(z)$ i.e., $f(y) \leq f(x)$, thus satisfying \[itm:ha1\] of ${\textsc{Hessian-Focused-Optimizer}}$. We now analyze the scenario where

**Reducing the Memory Cost.** As our framework consists of several sub-networks, it costs more memory than the original TSN framework, which extracts and stores motion frames before training CNNs, and trains several networks independently. In order to reduce the computational and memorial cost, we sample less frames in the training phase than in the testing phase, and still obtain satisfactory results.

However, the time duration between segments may be varied if we sample different number of segments between training and testing. According to our definition in equation \[eq:final\_eq\], only when the denotation $\Delta t$ is a fixed constant, the equation \[eq:feature\_flow\_final\] could be derived from the equation \[eq:final\_eq\]. If we sample different frames between training and testing, the time interval $\Delta t$ may be inconsistent,


The serious Mula or Moolam (Tamil)

Mula is the 19th nakshaktra and is mapped in the constellation of Sagittarius. Mula is formed by a group of stars around the tail of the Scorpion constellation. Mula literally means the ‘root’ in Sanskrit.

Personality: Mulas are very philosophical and also deep thinkers. They tend to get to the ‘root’ of any issue. They love the supernatural and mystical. In any discussion these people tend to add the life’s lessons into it. Many preachers, spiritual gurus,astrologers, kundalini yogis, etc. are seen in this nakshaktra. These people are moody as they are constantly looking for spiritual truth while living in a materialistic world.boxers. I couldn’t wear jeans.”

A question on a unipotent element in reductive algebraic groups

Let G be a connected reductive group over complex numbers whose derived subgroup is simply connected. Let u be a unipotent element of G. The centralizer of u in G is denoted by Z_(u). Let F_(u) be a maximal connected reductive subgroup of Z_(u).
My question is whether the derived subgroup of F_(u) is simply connected.

Looking at examples which involve classical groups, I'd say that the answer to your question is no.  A useful source to consult is the article on "Conjugacy classes" by Springer and Steinberg in the 1970 Lecture Notes in Mathematics No. 131 (IAS seminar write-ups), especially part IV.2 of the article.    Here they describe for classical groups explicit Levi factors in centralizersand nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)\] are not available. Although HM statistics for assigning model quality do not necessarily reflect the *in vivo* structure of the protein, the approach should be more accurate when coupled with experimental approaches. HDX-MS with HM was used previously to investigate docking and binding studies in combination with electron microscopy.^[@ref43]−[@ref46]^ These semiquantitative approaches rely on heavy computational techniques and assess the quaternary structure of the protein. Here, we are using HDX-MS results to direct HM to obtain a low-resolution understanding of protein tertiary structure and to predict a reaction mechanism for the complex. Our method relies on readily available applets for modeling and HDX for making a qualitative structural distinction between a buried or exposed region to adjudicate the models, quite unlike the previous

How to expand this functions around 1

I have the following generating function:
$$
f(x) = \frac{1}{1 - xe^{1-x}}
$$
I'm trying to expand around 1. According to Wolframalpha:
$$
f(x) = \frac{2}{(1-x)^2} - \frac{4}{3(1-x)} + \frac{7}{18} + ...
$$
How do I find this result?
Thank you

A:

A little trick that is useful in cases like yours:
First calculate the first non-zero term of the Taylor-expansion around $1$ of $1-xe^{1-x}$, which is proportional to $(x-1)^2$.
Now determine the Taylor-expansion of
$\frac{(x-1)^2}{(1-xe^{1-x})}$,
which is
$2+\frac{4}{3}(x-1)+\frac{7}{18}(x-1)^2+\frac{8}{135}(x-1)^3+\cdots$.
Finally divide this by $(x-1)^2$ and you obtain the corresponding series.
The trick can be justified rigorously, but I don't have the time right now.
Hope this already answers your question.

Yet even as superbly confident a writer as Bayly found it difficult to bring whole continents and oceans together into a coherent story. And when it came to explaining “the motors of change,” he could offer only two and a half pallid pages that proposed, as key, nothing more than “the concatenation of changes produced by the interactions of political, economic and ideological changes at many different levels”—a statement vague and abstract enough to apply to virtually any historical situation anywhere.

continued after the mask is removed, the tip becomes more dull. This results because the etch chemicals remove material in all directions, thereby attacking the exposed apex of the tip while etching the sides. In addition, the apex of the tip may be degraded when the mask has been dislodged due to physical ion bombardment during a dry etch.
Accordingly, current methods perform underetching, which is to stop the etching process before a fine point is formed at the apex of the tip. Underetching creates a structure referred to as a "flat top. " An oxidation step is then performed to sharpen the tip. This method results in a non-uniform etching across the array and the tips then have different heights and shapes. Other solutions have been to manufacturevertex. Let us start simple and first consider a tree, where root is well defined. We are considering directed networks and consider tree where arcs are all directed from root and towards leaves. The root is a vertex with only outgoing arcs, while leaves have only incoming arcs. Each vertex $i$ is at certain depth $d_i$ in the network, which we define as the distance from root to the vertex $l_{ri}$. This means that all vertices are organized into distinct depth levels.\
Let us now generalize to any graph with a specified root, which we will call *rooted network*. The root is the only vertex that has only outgoing arcs, and no incoming arcs ($k^{in}_r=0$). Leaves are vertices without outgoing arcs, but some incoming arcs. The definition remains same


This basically means that we treat the arcs as a “has depth lesser than” relation on the set of vertices of the graph, and thus define the depth levels for vertices. Such definition is ambiguous, and to give precise values, we add that the difference must be minimal but at least $1$ ($d_j-d_i\geq1$). Depth values assigned according to such definition correspond to difference between vertex depths of $i$ and $j$ being equal to longest directed path between them, provided such path exists (Figure \[ksjh\_fig\_alternative\]). In absence of the path, the difference can be any value. Note that since the values are derived from relations, there is no set “zero level” and the values can be set relative to an arbitrary reference value. For convenience, it is reasonable toof directed loops. In both cases the loop collapse allows them to work, but nonexistence of root is rare for a network that would not be almost wholly loop-collapsed into single vertex (at least for random graphs). Both definitions of depth are volatile in regard to addition or removal of arcs. A single removal or addition could change depth levels of significant parts of the whole network. Adding new links can only decrease depth levels for rooted depth, and increase them for relative depth, and vice versa.\
The rooted depth can take into account the *multiple aspects* of depth. If multiple roots are present, then the depth levels relative to each root can be treated separately, not averaged into a single number, or alternatively averaged with certain weights depending

a look
back at some of these, including how the Pete the Cat series came to be born.
It’s in the news again because a company called Merrymakers is planning a
world-wide licensing program for a large range of Pete the Cat goods, including
shoes, toys, school supplies, etc. What I found particularly interesting is how
the character was born. This is the account written by Sally Lodge for PW:

“A chance encounter at an Atlanta stoplight led to the creation of Pete
the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, written by children's musician Eric Litwin
and illustrated by James Dean. Waiting for the light to turn, Litwin recognized
Dean, a local artist known for his paintings of a blue cat named Pete, in the
next car. Litwin told him he was a big fan of Pete andasked if he wanted to
collaborate on a book; thus a children's book protagonist was born.”

They self-published a book in 2008, and the way in which they marketed
it also stood out:

“The collaborators—Litwin on guitar and banjo and Dean with giant
easel—promoted their book at Atlanta-area bookstores, schools, libraries, and
festivals, and sold some 4,000 copies.”

A bookseller called the book to the attention of a sales rep for Harper
Collins. In 2010 the publisher released Pete the Cat and sent the two on a publicity
tour to five cities. The book made it onto the New York Times best-seller list
and as of early 2011 had sold 50,000 copies, with a follow up (Pete the Cat:
Rocking in My School Shoes) following with a first printing of 75,000 copies.

Early Surge in Circulatory Adiponectin Is Associated With Improved Growth at Near Term in Very Preterm Infants.
Adiponectin enhances insulin sensitivity and may play a role in fetal and postnatal growth. This study aimed to determine whether early postnatal adiponectin concentration change is related to postnatal growth in very preterm infants. This was an in-hospital, prospective, longitudinal cohort study of 52 preterm infants with a gestational age (GA) of 26.0 ± 1.9 (SD) weeks and birth weight (BW) of 889 ± 284 g. An analysis of adiponectin was performed on cord blood at birth and peripheral blood at 72 hours, day 7, and then weekly until postmenstrual age (PMA) 40 weeks. Weight, length, and head circumference (HC) measurement was performed weekly and SD scores (SDS) calculated. Energy and proteinthe DID is less than 128, it is a Type 2 packet, and the following words is the Secondary Data Identifier; the DID and SDID together identify the packet type.

The SDID is only valid if the DID is less than 0x80.  The SDID is nominally an 8-bit value, ranging from 0 to 255.  It is encoded in the same fashion as the DID.

R. 47.5,asked not to have, instead – this was widely interpreted as an admission that the Worldcon programmers had actively denied or limited panel opportunities to marginalised writers, including some Hugo nominees, on the basis that they weren’t famous enough in the wider community. Two Hugo nominees who were initially thought to have been denied panelling were Vina Jie-Min Prasad and N.K. Jemisin; however, both clarified that they had specifically asked not to be on panels. Though Jemisin had been scheduled to give a two-hour workshop, she subsequently withdrew from programming and asked that the slot be used to showcase #ownvoices panels instead. Other writers also began to resign their programming in protest, including Charlie Jane Anders, JY Yang, Mary Robinette Kowal and Annalee Newitz.

Right now, my personal suspicion is that Worldcon 76 has been afflicted by a combination of bigotry – some likely subconscious, some very likely not – and poor coordination, with the latter significantly enabling the impact of the former. As much as I appreciate Kevin Roche stepping in to issue apologies and redo the programming, that these actions were necessary at all speaks, at absolute best, to an administrative setup wherein the right hand didn’t know what the left was doing, and at worst, to a grossqueer folk, disabled folk, immigrant voices and marginalised writers from around the world – exactly the same people whose mistreatment by the programmers was the problem in the first place. Those with the fewest seats at the table shouldn’t have to step aside to effect better treatment for those who take their place while the majority, unaffected, stays where they are. That doesn’t increase the number of marginalised speakers; it just treats them as a resource to churn through, burning them out and replacing them while claiming to give them a platform.

I don’t know what the new program will look like, but I hope it will do justice to the whole SFF community – and that we’ll get it in time for those deciding whether to come to

On December 18, 1990, the district court denied defendant's motion on the grounds that defendant knew restitution might be ordered as part of his sentence, that he understood a period of supervised release would follow his sentence, and that the court was required by U.S.S.G. § 5E1.2(i) to impose a fine to recover the costs of any supervised release ordered.  productive power and put it into these services that he thinks are for the good of humanity. But he completely forgets that capitalism is what put that productive capital there in the first place to be confiscated. All he is advocating is that we do violence to one group of people to take their stuff and give it to other people. There is no sense for how Human Action works, no real economics, rather a total dismissal of the laws of supply and demand.

The heart of the storm had passed, and now just a light drizzle remained. As I drove, I soon came to a large oak tree that had fallen across the road and taken an electrical line with it. I had to turn and find another way home.

There was no going back the way I came. The message was clear: a demand to do things differently. Or, else risk providing another crack for the darkness to find its way in.

When I walked through the door, three delighted bodies greeted me, and I welcomed their embrace.

“How was it?” my husband asked.

“Perfect,” I replied, letting golden threads of love seep into all my open wounds.

Low-Carb Green Bean, Tomato & Prosciutto Salad with Basil Oil

Substantial meal-in-one salads are so quick and versatile. I can fling them them together in the late afternoon, then serve them for dinner a few hours later (on their own for family members watching their waistlines, and with warm bread or crunchy potato wedges for those of a scrawnier build). You'll have to forego the bread and potatoes if you're on
a low-carb regime, of course, but I don't think you'll miss them: this salad is quite filling, packed as it is with fibre-rich baby beans.

This salad is good with a dab or two of Tabasco sauce.

I also love how fresh and abundant these veggie salads look
when they're heaped in glistening piles on large platters, and the


the bag, stalk-side down, so all the ends are flush against the packet seam. Now slice off all the stalks in one go, cutting straight through the plastic wrapping with a very sharp knife. Do the same thing on the other side to trim off the 'tails' (although I usually leave these on because I like how they look).

If you'd like a more garlicky dressing, add as many cloves as you fancy to the basil oil. I prefer just a flicker of garlic in this salad.

This recipe makes more basil oil than you'll need to dress the salad, but you can save the rest to use in salad dressings for the next few days.

The oil may partly solidify in the fridge, but it will turn liquid if youthem aside, covered and at room temperature, for a few hours.

Add more ice cubes to the bowl if the chilled water is no longer very cold. Reheat the water on the stove and add a few pinches of salt. Throw in the beans and cook them until just tender-crisp. This will take between two and three minutes, depending on the size of the beans; I suggest you set a timer for 2 minutes, and then cook them for a further minute if they're still too crunchy. Plunge them into the iced water, as described above, pat them dry on kitchen paper and add them to the bowl of tomatoes. Toss everything together and have a taste - you might want to add more lemon juice, basil oil, salt


and pepper.

Pile the beans and tomatoes onto a large platter and tuck the slices of proscuitto into the salad, as shown in the picture. Pinch off pieces of cream cheese and scatter them over the salad. Drizzle over some more basil oil, and take the salad straight to the table.

Just want to say your article is as astonishing.The clarity in your post is just great and i can assume you're an expert on this subject. Well with your permission let me to grab your RSS feed to keep updated with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please continue the gratifying work.needs this shit! Some cities don’t need it so much. Some cities are actually pretty good or the culture isn’t dominated or dictated by giant institutions or a certain segment of people with money or power or whatever or intrenched interest. Some cities have more space to do things. There’s places where you could make a speakeasy and everyone would be like, “Oh, that’s nice,” but it doesn’t matter because nobody cares.

In New York, I can contribute something that makes a difference for the life of the city. For Detroit I don’t have that down. It’s not like Detroit needs some speakeasies! You could try it but nobody would care what you’re doing. Under an authoritarian kind of city like New York — which is way way more

    Q:

Add search option for down voted posts

I would like to have the option to search for down voted questions and answers.
Why?
Searching for down voted posts will help to improve posts with low quality and flag/delete unrelated posts and spam.
how?
add a search option similar to votes:5.
votes:-1 selecting all posts with a negative score.
votes:-2 selecting all posts with a score of -2 or lower.
and so on.
As mentioned here it is not possible to search for down voted questions. This can be done by a workaround but only if the result set is smaller than 5.000 questions.

A:

In the next build the range operator gets expanded a bit, supporting this.  You'll be able to query any range operator:

score/votes (synonym)
views
answers

in a few ways, for example:

score:4 (score >= 4)
score:3..4 (3 to 4)
score:3-4


3）第三产业中，受冲击最大的主要是线下实体店，在持续存在租金和人工成本下却几乎没有营收，资金链可能断裂。（过去一个月耐克和阿迪达斯关闭了中国近一半门店，麦当劳在关闭了300家分店，星巴克关闭了4100家中国分店中的一半。没有关闭的实体门店也大多削减了营业时间。)

   四、货币100万亿大放水的前景预估

  目前，北京当局的应对，除了用行政力量强行复工之外，最重要的就是实施货币宽松政策，开动印钞机。金融大灌水。

  1）中共篡政71年，GDP逼近100万亿人民币大关，而人民币M2则突破了200万亿（达202万亿）。也就是说：71年中国至今，是用200万亿人民币，才创造拼得了100万亿的全国财富。

  2）货币大灌水后，触目惊心的通货膨胀的出现

  3）人民币大贬值

  4）面临疫情爆发带来的危机，依靠放水稳定经济是非常危险的。

  5）只有按契约惯例，当违约出现，自然走向破产清算，才能真正做到让经济脱虚向实，引导社会资源投向实体经济，让经济发展变得健康可持。否则，货币大水漫灌将导致中国经济万劫不复，走向全球性脱钩！

  6）中国巨大的债务及其危机

Exactly- John McCain, a once honorable man in my book (before choosing Palin), has indeed become a complete whackjob and hypocrite on EVERYTHING to do with foreign policy shy of his stance on torture. This example is pure gold... I mean HOW hypocritical can you be, John? What a fucking joke!

1.25 lookups per symbol.  That's compared
to one lookup for the single table, or 1.66 lookups per symbol for the
Huffman tree.

There, I think that gives you a picture of what's going on.  For inflate, the
meaning of a particular symbol is often more than just a letter.  It can be a
byte (a "literal"), or it can be either a length or a distance which
indicates a base value and a number of bits to fetch after the code that is
added to the base value.  Or it might be the special end-of-block code.  The
data structures created in inftrees.c try to encode all that information
compactly in the tables.

shuddering bit has Monmouth walking about a private college in mid-winter, at four in the morning hearing sounds, seeing shadows and basically being scared out of his wits. Again, as a personal taste I much prefer this type of scary story where a lot of what we perceive is in our heads. I absolutely love disappearing shadows, half-seen faces, and even mist in mirrors. Just like the first book I read by Hill, the pacing here is very near to exquisite. There is an ebb and a flow that radiates out and gently lofts you up and over the narrative. The passages are never jarring, which works best when she builds to a scary moment, since it’s upon you before you know it and can be truly frightening.little or no guilt:

1. Don’t come (too) hungry.During the holidays, we are invited to many a tasty meal. A classic mistake is not to eat all day in order to make room for all the tasty treats awaiting us. However, this strategy backfires consistently because we tend to dramatically overeat. One new idea is to drink a healthy smoothie before you head to the table.

2. Start with water.Start all meals and parties by making sure you are properly hydrated. This will help reduce your overall caloric intake. I drink 88.5 fluid ounces daily (and use a smartphone app to help keep me on track: Water Your Body.)

3. Be selective.Many holiday meals and parties are buffet style with a dozen or two options to lump onto your plate. They


are not all of the same quality. Before getting in line, get a bird’s eye view of what’s available and decide to choose only a few of the healthiest dishes.

4. Although the holidays last about 5 weeks, most of those days are regular work days. Save your caloric celebrations for the few days that actually are a holiday – Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, Boxing Day (for us colonials) and New Year’s Eve.

5. Continue with yourhealthy routines; whether it’s exercise, ‘eating clean’ or drinking water, keep at it. Don’t let the holidays derail you for more than a day or two. Get back to your regular routine fast.Conventionally, as a method for producing a fine pattern in a high-density printed wiring board used for a semiconductor plastic package, there is a method according to a subtractive process in which a through hole and/or a blind via hole is/are made in an ultrathin copper foil having a thickness of 5 μm or less with a mechanical drill or a carbon dioxide gas laser, then electroless copper plating is carried out to form a plating layer having a thickness of 0.5 to 3 μm, a negative type plating resist is formed, a copper plating layer having a thickness of approximately 15 μm is formed, the plating resist is removed and then the electroless copper plating and the ultrathin copper foil are removed by etching (flash etching).

arrived in England soon after the rights to an IPL franchise match sold for more than one featuring India's national team. If the game's administrators have been, as Mike Atherton said in the Times, "asleep at the wheel", Gayle seemed to grasp instinctively what was happening from the moment it began. Everyone wanted the money. This was the real conflict, the pragmatic future, and Gayle has epitomised it. His earning power as a freelance cricketer enabled him - in fact, it commanded him - to ignore his board in a way no player had before. And here is the disparity into which Gayle's career has fallen: the WICB receives around $15.8m per year for its TV rights. England's rights just sold for £1.1b (approximately $1.45b) for the fourincreased risk associated with immunosuppressive diseases, especially with NTM infections ([@bib18]).

Tuberculosis in cats usually presents as a localized cutaneous disease or, less commonly, as a disseminated or systemic respiratory or alimentary disease ([@bib20], [@bib18], [@bib35]). NTM infections cause mostly cutaneous or subcutaneous nodules or granulomatous panniculitis with variable lymph node involvement ([@bib20], [@bib18]). The 'feline leprosy syndrome', a leprosy-like ulcerative and nodular skin disease especially affecting the head and limbs ([@bib18]), is also part of the NTM group of infections. Of the NTM species, a few cases of disseminated or systemic disease have been reported with *M. avium* ([@bib34], [@bib4], [@bib16], [@bib27], [@bib3], [@bib10], [@bib40]), two cases with *Mycobacterium xenopi* ([@bib31], [@bib33]) and single cases with *Mycobacterium heckeshornense* ([@bib12]), *Mycobacterium* *simiae* ([@bib11]) and *Mycobacterium* *kansasii* ([@bib29]). Despite the reported cases, systemic mycobacteriosis

However, considering the close relationship of owners and pets and the survivability of mycobacteria in the household environment, a cat shedding mycobacteria in its faeces and sputum may increase the owner\'s exposure to mycobacteria. This should be taken into consideration, especially if the animal is infected with MAC species or if the owner has any immunocompromise.

To our knowledge, *M. branderi/shimoidei* has not been described previously as a naturally occurring infection in animals.

Transcriptome Profile Changes in Mice with MPTP-Induced Early Stages of Parkinson's Disease.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. Despite progress in the study of the molecular, genetic, and pathogenic mechanisms of PD, it is unclear which processes trigger the development of the pathology associated with PD. Models of the presymptomatic and early symptomatic stages of PD induced by MPTP have been used to analyze changes in transcriptome profile in brain tissues, to identify specific patterns and mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in PD. The whole-transcriptome analysis in the brain tissues of the mice with MPTP-induced PD showed that striatum is involved in the pathogenesis in the earliest stages and the processes associated with vesicular transport may be altered. The expression profiles of the genes studied inThe hexadecimal color code #030cfb is a shade of blue. In the RGB color model #030cfb is comprised of 1.18% red, 4.71% green and 98.43% blue.

for the children. Specifically, Father alleged that on August 19, 2006, Mother, who was 36 years old,
had a party at her house while the children, ages ten and five, were present. Father claimed that
underage drinking and “dirty dancing” took place, in the presence of the children, until the early
hours of the morning. Father further alleged that Mother was romantically involved with a teenager

had sent text messages containing adult subject matter to a minor. Father also claimed that

stop her from screaming and cursing.

        Mrs. Stafford concluded by stating her opinion that Mother had not provided a stable,
structured, consistent environment for the children since the divorce. Mrs. Stafford stated that she
had noticed aworked as the school nurse for five years, but she “had to
resign” in August of 2006. He said during the previous school year, he received several complaints
about Mother having pornography on her cell phone. However, he did not take action because it was
near the end of the school year. At the beginning of the current school year, Mr. McCartney
informed all the employees that if anyone was reported for having pornography on their cell phone,
they would be immediately dismissed. Still, a few days later, it was again reported that Mother had
pornography on her cell phone.2 Mr. McCartney said he had also received complaints from the
principal that many of the high school students were spending too much time at the nurse’s station.
Mr. McCartney said that based on these complaints, he

                         A.    Standards for Modifying a Custody Order

        A custody decision, once made and implemented, is considered res judicata upon the facts
in existence at that time, or those that were reasonably foreseeable when the decision was made.

visitation. However, she fails to note that in those same letters, Dr. Kennon stated that he was
“sensitive to [Father]’s concerns regarding the safety of the children,” and he recommended that
Mother’s visitation continue to be supervised. Furthermore, we need not list here Dr. Kennon’s
many concerns, as stated in his report, repeated in his testimony, and previously discussed in this
opinion, regarding Mother’s negative and erratic behavior and its effects on the children.

         Next, Mother claims that the trial court should have adopted the results of the Bricklin
Perceptual Scales test that was administered to Madison and Connor, which found that both children
considered Mother to be their parent of choice. Dr. Kennon testified that the test was “a way of
looking at [a

that Father and Mrs. Adams both possessed appropriate parenting skills. Dr. Kennon noted that
Father was active in the children’s sporting activities and extracurricular activities, while Mother
testified that she rarely attended such activities.

        Mother again points to the fact that both children demonstrated their preference toas guides to their best interest.” Costley v. Benjamin, No. M2004-
00375-COA-R3-CV, 2005 WL 1950114, at *16 (Tenn. Ct. App. Aug. 12, 2005). “Children can
easily decide they would rather live with the more lenient or generous parent rather than the one who
just refused to buy the newest must-have item or who set rules the child did not agree with.” Id. In
this case, the children’s preference does not lead us to conclude that it is in their best interest to live
with Mother.

        Dr. Kennon reported that Mother’s manipulation of the children could be emotionally
abusive. The only allegation of physical abuse in this case came from the testimony of Mother and
Madison, in which they described an incident where Father held Madison upside down and

        Mother contends that the trial court erred in awarding $16,214.05 in attorney’s fees to Father
because he did not show he was unable to pay his attorney’s fees. Mother claims that Father should
have been ordered to pay her attorney’s fees in thethe Obama administration singling out contractors would result in job and income losses for all those former G-Men.

So where was the media uproar?

Here you have the Obama administration openly taking aggressive action for the exact same reasons the Trump administration is: a legitimate security concern over those no longer in government using their continued security access as a means to obtain wealth and position in the private sector (including anti-Trump media outlets).

But as you can see, when Obama did it no one in the media cared.

As you can see, back in 2013, no one in the media screamed, as our media repeatedly have throughput the last week, that the revocation of these clearances would risk national security, much less be the stuff of a banana republic eager to


that the postage meter be separated into two distinct units since the necessity to take the meter to the post office for recharging has been eliminated. Further, it is desirable to have a self-contained electronic postage meter that includes the metering function as well as all drive mechanisms to reduce the size and weight of the meter as well as making it more economical to produce. The mechanical construction of such a meter is disclosed in the aforementioned patent application. U.S. Pat. No. 4,251,874, issued on Feb. 17, 1979 in the name of Frank T. Check, Jr., entitled, ELECTRONIC POSTAGE METER SYSTEM, and assigned to Pitney Bowes, Inc., of Stamford, Conn., discloses a system for keeping track of the number of errors present during meter operation.

The presentations can be scheduled for any time in the semester, though it is recommended that you take care of them early on. Dates will be assigned in class. Topics must be cleared with the instructor beforehand. Research is expected, as is a handout detailing your textualdo this is the following:
pragma solidity ^0.4.0;

    contract C {
        uint someVariable;
        uint[] data;

        function f() {
            uint[] x = data;
            x.push(2);
        }
    }

Defaults for the storage location
Here are defaults for the storage location depending on which type of variable it concerns (source):

state variables are always in storage
function arguments are in memory by default
local variables of struct, array or mapping type reference storage by    default
local variables of value type

In this tutorial we’re going to build an application that submits a form with React.js and triggers an AWS Lambda function with Netlify. We'll learn about the Gatsby site generator and running Netlify Functions locally.

If you’ve been keeping up with trends in web development you’ve undoubtedly heard about the serverless revolution in computing. Services like AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions are able to provide server infrastructure for the life of a network request. This means developers can create functions instead of maintaining their own cloud servers. Serverless computing means having millions of servers on demand, not no servers altogether.

With the rise of this ecosystem new services, apps and layers of abstraction have emerged to make new developers more productive. The goal, asfile within a ./functions directory. The primary requirement for functions is that they must have a handler method. Your app can make a total of 125,000 function calls per month for free. Functions on Netlify can be written in Node.js or Go.

Our placeholder function looks like this:

exports.handler = function(event, context, callback) { callback(null, { statusCode: 200, body: "Hello Netlify Functions!!" }); }

Configuring Gatsby with Netlify Functions can be a bit tricky. I recommend this helpful post on the Gatsby blog that outlines the steps for configuring Netlify Functions locally on Gatsby.

Pro tip: Use the netlify-lambda npm package and set up a proxy with http-proxy-middleware We’ll need to specify a netlify.toml file that specifies to Netlify how it will build and deploy our site. Mine looks like this:

Complex organization of the Streptomyces avermitilis genes encoding the avermectin polyketide synthase.
The avermectin (Av) polyketide synthase (PKS) and erythromycin (Er) PKS are encoded by modular repeats of DNA, but the genetic organization of the modules encoding Av PKS is more complex than Er PKS. Sequencing of several related DNA fragments from Streptomyces avermitilis that are part of the Av biosynthetic gene cluster, revealed that they encode parts of large multifunctional PKS proteins. The Av PKS proteins show strong similarity to each other, as well as similarity to Er PKS proteins [Donadio et al., Science 252 (1991) 675-679] and fatty acid synthases. Partial DNA sequencing of the 65-kb region containing all the related sequence elements in the avr genes provides evidence for twelve modular repeats encoding FAS-like domains. TheQ:

How can I store output from Format-Table for later use

I have a script that creates several jobs and stores two simple values in the jobs.
Start-Job -ScriptBlock {param ([string]$compip) tnc $compip | select RemoteAddress,PingSucceeded -WarningAction SilentlyContinue} -ArgumentList $compip

This works fine. What I would like to know is how can I store the following code into a variable?
Get-Job | Receive-Job | sort RemoteAddress | FT

I have tried this, but it does not work as I thought it would:
$pcs = Get-Job | Receive-Job | sort RemoteAddress | FT
$pcs.RemoteAddress

Am I going at this the wrong way? I would like to store the data from the get-job command above to use the values later in the script. I assumed it would work because the output looks correct:
Command:
Get-Job | Receive-Job | sort RemoteAddress


functional similarity—“door.lock” and “door.unlock” both control the state of the lock. Functional grouping of operations helps reduce the cognitive burden on developers, when requesting permissions, and on users, when making security decisions during application installation. A very fine-grained model, where apps request permission for each device operation, only increases the burden on developers and users and has been shown to be impractical even in the smartphone environment [@felt2012android]. The increased number of decisions a user has to make in a smart home environment makes this approach even less feasible. Therefore, despite the usability advantages of a functionally grouped permission model, attackers can use compromised or malicious apps, which are overprivileged, to cause security and privacy risks.

We consider a middle ground between very fine-grained per-device-operation permissions and functionally grouped permissions.of entrainment of CDC phases to environmental and endogenous factors, or time-dependent response of adult neurogenesis to pharmacological interventions, could be of major clinical significance. The timing of such interventions, aimed at either enhancing neurogenesis in brain trauma or neurodegenerative disorder patients or preserving normal neurogenesis during cancer cytostatic therapies, could be critical. Considering the advantages of the model, the search for local niche-specific factors that can modulate daily CDC progression in zebrafish brain may lead to novel prophylactic and treatment strategies.

the consecutive frames to generate blurred frames based on the estimated optical flow, our algorithm warps the adjacent frames into the reference frame so that the consecutive frames align well and thus generating a clearer intermediate latent frame. As the generated intermediate latent frame may contain artifacts and blur effect, we further develop a deep CNN model based on an encoder-decoder architecture to remove artifacts and blur. To better explore the properties of consecutive frames, we develop a temporal sharpness prior to constrain the deep CNN models. However, as our algorithm estimates optical flow from intermediate latent frames as the motion blur information, it requires a feedback loop. To effectively train the proposed algorithm, we develop a cascaded training approach and jointly train the proposed model in anof network has been widely used in multi-frame [@burst/deblurring] or video deblurring [@DVD/cvpr17]. Instead of using 2D convolution, Zhang et al. [@zhang/3d/convolution] employ spatial-temporal 3D convolutions to help latent frame restoration. As demonstrated by [@details/devil], these methods can be improved using optical flow for alignment. To better use spatial and temporal information, Kim et al. [@sstn/eccv18] develop an optical flow estimation step for alignment and aggregate information across the neighboring frames to restore latent ones. Wieschollek et al. [@Wieschollek/vd/iccv17] recurrently use the features from the previous frame in multiple scales based on a recurrent network.

Concluding Remarks
==================

We have proposed a simple and effective deep CNN model for video deblurring. The proposed CNN explores the simple and well-established principles used in the variational model-based methods and mainly consists of optical flow estimation from intermediate latent frames and latent frame restoration. We have developed a temporal sharpness prior to help the latent image restoration and an effective cascaded training approach to train the proposed CNN model. By training in an end-to-end manner, we have shown that the proposed CNN model is more compact and efficient and performs favorably against state-of-the-art methods on both benchmark datasets and

Sign up for Daily Newsletters ManageFurniture giant IKEA has been forced to remove its commercial from Chinese TV after it’s ‘message’ triggered a storm of condemnation on social media. The ad, critics said, ridicules single women as it features a mother who threatens to reject her daughter for not having a boyfriend.

“The TV ad has been withdrawn from all channels by IKEA China,” the company’s spokeswoman in China told Reuters.

The Swedish retailer attracted negative headlines after internet users descended on its half-minute clip, broadcast in China. The piece starts with a family dinner with parents seeming rather dissatisfied. The mother then strictly announces: “If you cannot bring back a boyfriend, don’t call me Mum!”

Tech workers — from investors to engineers — are also speaking out about the value of employees with liberal arts backgrounds.

Tracy Chou, a software engineer and co-founder of Project Include, recently wrote in Quartz that she regrets not striving “for a proper liberal arts education” and not learning to “think critically about the world we live in and how to engage with it.”

Chou, who graduated with engineering and computer science degrees from Stanford, added: “It worries me that so many of the builders of technology today are people like me; people [who] haven’t spent anywhere near enough time thinking about these larger questions of what it is that we are building, and what the implications are for the world.”

Inhibition of CYP2E1 catalytic activity in vitro by S-adenosyl-L-methionine.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the possible in vitro interactions of S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) and its metabolites S-(5'-Adenosyl)-l-homocysteine (SAH), 5'-Deoxy-5'-(methylthio)adenosine (MTA) and methionine with cytochrome P450 enzymes, in particular CYP2E1. SAM (but not SAH, MTA or methionine) produced a type II binding spectrum with liver microsomal cytochrome P450 from rats treated with acetone or isoniazid to induce CYP2E1. Binding was less effective for control microsomes. SAM did not alter the carbon monoxide binding spectrum of P450, nor denature P450 to P420, nor inhibit the activity of NADPH-P450 reductase. However, SAM inhibited the catalytic activity of CYP2E1 with typical substrates such as p-nitrophenol, ethanol, and dimethylnitrosamine, with an IC(50) around 1.5-5mM. SAM was a non-competitive inhibitor of CYP2E1 catalyticmuch.

A fine-structural study of the termination of intrafusal muscle fibres in the Chinese hamster.
The termination of intrafusal muscle fibres was studied in muscle spindles of the tenuissimus muscle of the Chinese hamster. Most nuclear chain fibres terminated within the spindle capsule. The nuclear bag- and nuclear chain fibres that extended beyond the limit of the spindle capsule terminated in the endomysial connective tissue of the adjacent extrafusal fibres. Three types of intracapsular terminations were found: (1) termination on the neighbouring nuclear bag fibre, (2) termination in the periaxial space without any obvious attachment site, or (3) termination on the spindle capsule. The intrafusal fibres were tapered and longitudinal sarcolemmal invaginations were poorly developed or were completely lacking. The fibre ends were characterized by their folded basal lamina, which

a similar scene in Middlemarch. There is also a scene of sympathetic consultation between the curate and the wife, who has been thrown out of her house. It stands as the model for a series of such encounters in Eliot's fiction – one may call it the religion-of-humanity scene, in which one character opens him- or herself to another, so that both can overstep egoistic limitations and become more fully human.

With all its stumbles, Scenes of Clerical Life makes a worthy beginning in the process of becoming a novelist. Yet apart from its anticipations of a great career, it would have fallen into neglect, except by specialists in Victorian literary history. It may be mentioned in passing that although Eliot's portrayal of her clergymen was fully attentive tomany changes that would astonish the revenant, suggesting that "it is easier and pleasanter to recognize the old than to account for the new" (p. 5). The doubled perspectives in play are multiple: that of the modern narrator and that of the Spirit; the Spirit's own dual sense of continuity and of change; and the duality within the Renaissance mentalité itself. The Spirit is still medieval in his devotion to "Unseen Powers" to explain phenomena, although partially transformed by the historical perspective brought into play by the rebirth of ancient learning (p. 7). In the course of this implied comparison of a past worldview with that of the present, a remarkable summary of the contradictions of the Renaissance is offered: "Our resuscitated Spirit was not a pagan philosopher,


Eliot had been reading Ernest Renan steadily for years, from his Études d'histoire religieuse in 1861 to his Averroës et l'averroïsme in 1867 – including, of course, his Vie de Jesus as well as articles and reviews along the way. In his Histoire générale et système comparée des langues sémitiques, which she read in 1864, and in later lectures, Renan credits the Semites with a prime and almost unique contribution to civilization: "Nous leur devons la religion. Le monde entier, si l'on excepte l'Inde, la Chine, le Japon et les peuples tout a fait sauvages, a adopté les religions sémitiques." In line with widespread views at the time, Christianity is to be considered an organic advance on Judaism, developing qualities compensating for its defects.

Another pertinent late nineteenth-century streamand intellectual modesty were proof against the equally normal vitriolic tone of much intellectual debate. Yet signs of impatience with the normal become detectable. A case in point is her estimate of her longstanding friend, Herbert Spencer. After years of defending him against the sensitivity of her even longer friend, Sara Hennell, as to his attitudes toward women, and after a more recent Papierkrieg in The Academy, in which she took his side, a new note enters her estimation of him.

 frequent critic of Police Commissioner Anthony Batts.

“They understand how something like this can get out of hand very quickly,” Mr. Scott said. “They understand the community’s frustration more than anyone else. But at the same time they also understand the opposite — they understand the need to have law enforcement in neighborhoods. So it puts them in a bind.”

This week the mayor and police commissioner have appeared repeatedly in public promising a full and transparent review of Mr. Gray’s death. On Tuesday, the police released the names of six officers who had been suspended with pay, including a lieutenant, a woman and three officers in their 20s who joined the force less than three years ago. Officers canvassed west Baltimore, looking for witnesses.

Mr. Batts turned up in Mr.


Batts pulled up in the neighborhood in a black SUV just before noon on Tuesday. “They don’t come around here. Just because we’re poor, we don’t need to be treated like this.”

Because there are no national statistics on police-involved killings, it is impossible to say whether their numbers are increasing. But the growing prevalence of cellphone and police video, coupled with heightened scrutiny by the news media and the public after Ferguson, has focused intense attention on such cases, especially when officers are white and victims are black.

The police here did not release the racial breakdown of the six suspended officers. Now the Justice Department will look into whether they violated Mr. Gray’s civil rights. Such inquiries are not unusual; in Ferguson, the department did not find Mr.severed. Those details have not been confirmed by doctors or authorities, but experts on spinal cord injury said even less obvious neck trauma could be life-threatening.

“It doesn’t necessarily take huge force to fracture or dislocate a vertebra, and have a traumatic compression of the spinal cord,” said Ben A. Barres, professor of neurobiology at the Stanford School of Medicine. “It gets worse very rapidly if it’s not treated.” And, he said, “moving the person, like lifting him into a van, or even the ride in the van, could make the injury much worse.”

The police have said they will complete their inquiry by May 1 and turn it over to the state’s attorney in Baltimore — Maryland’s name for local prosecutors — who will determine whether to bring criminal


keep in mind that the Native Americans women were very open about sexuality, and encouraged to explore sex before they were married. So polygamy was not about sex, but about survival and smart living. In tribes with a higher death rate, polygyny seems to be more common - as it tends to create a higher birth rate to recover from the loss of men.

Jewish plural marriage is spattered throughout the old and new testaments. Many of the same reasons applied. It was good for population increases, and Israel was patriarchal, so if a man died without a son, his brother was tasked with marrying the widow to carry on the family line. It is notable that in the new testament polygyny was discouraged in deacons, elders and overseers,and a woman. Then, between a man and another woman. The poly marriage is monogamous within the marriage. Sleeping around can be deadly to the entire family, and as a result, monogamy within is strictly observed.

6. He's tired of me and wants to replace me. Yes, could be. But in my travels, when a couple learn of plural marraige, the women are like, "No WAY!" and the men are, "Ohh, cool!" But after a few weeks of thought, the women change to, "Another set of hands? Awesome!" and the men to, "I'm going to die." Keep in mind that in nearly every case in history where it was banned, it was men who banned it. But consider... if he's truly tired of you why even think of plural

these, the best studied is the yeast *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* [@pone.0003888-Westermann1]. In this organism, there are believed to be at least 65 different proteins that work together to allow the kinetochore to function properly. An important goal in furthering our understanding of mitosis is to understand the contribution and regulation of each of these proteins.

Genetic and biochemical analyses have shown that many of the kinetochore proteins work within distinct protein assemblies, each with a particular localization and role in the process. One of the *S. cerevisiae* kinetochore components is the Dam1-DASH complex, which is composed of ten different protein subunits (Dam1p, Duo1p, Ask1p, Spc34p, Spc19p, Dadp1, Dad2p, Dad3p, Dad4p, Hsk3p) [@pone.0003888-Cheesman1]--[@pone.0003888-Li2]. Dam1-DASH is an outer kinetochore protein complex, and is believed to interact directly with the microtubules. In fact,

The goal of our study was to produce Dad1p that had folded into its native conformation. To facilitate the re-folding of the protein upon removal of the urea, we took a sample of the purified Dad1p and dialyzed it against a buffered solution without urea. This experiment was repeated at a number of different pH values. Following overnight dialysis, samples were centrifuged to remove any unfolded, precipitated protein. These results are presented in [Figure 2](#pone-0003888-g002){ref-type="fig"}.

Nami of One Piece has obtained a tribute courtesy of esteemed modder “Art-Of-The-Body”, who has craftily forged a lascivious nude mod for Nami as she appears in “One Piece Pirate Warriors 3”, which should help to be a nice change of pace from its redundant Dynasty Warriors-esque gameplay.

A transparent bra, along with full nudity of both the girl’s top half and nether regions feature in the mod, allowing the skilled fighter to engage in combat completely unburdened while players gain the ability to play one-handed (an easy enough feat considering the title’s similarity to Dynasty Warriors).

The mod is available via the creator’s DeviantArt page, “TexMod” is required for applying the mod but thankfully the creator has also provided a short guide on its usage.

Also, physicians placed more emphasis on "Physical harm (side effect or complication) of the treatment" (16) and "Theoretical medical appropriateness of providing the treatment" (17) as factors for judging a certain treatment futile (Table [2](#T2){ref-type="table"}). Because adverse effects of treatments may cause the death of debilitated patients, physicians may be nervous about providing such treatments. The principle of non-maleficence may allow physicians to forego them \[[@B4]\]. With the development of evidence-based medicine, physicians are urged to practice not only based on theory or rationale but more importantly based on actual physiological effectiveness, and are reluctant to deviate from them. The findings of our survey suggest that such professional standards may not be accepted by patients and their families. Even if


elephant health

Before checking the health of their elephant, visitors are given a demonstration on how to check an elephant's health. Checking their elephant's health includes checking for teeth health, intestinal health, and sweat gland health, and checking for sleeping problems. In order to check for intestinal and teeth health, visitors check their elephant's excrement. To check for intestinal problems, they are first told to count their elephant's number of droppings. If there are around six pieces per bathroom time, then the elephant is considered healthy because it has been eating enough. Elephants can eat around 300 pounds of food per day. Furthermore, visitors are asked to smell the elephant dung and make sure it doesn't smell bad. They are also asked to squeeze the dung to make sureprovided by nozzles may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,492,104 to Glaser, granted Jan. 27, 1970. The assembly shown in that patent bears certain similarities to that of the assembly of the present invention, but is critically different therefrom in a number of respects. In particular, the orifice plate of the assembly includes nozzles or tips fixed to and extending downwardly from the orifice plate and an external support is provided centrally of the plate in a V-shaped groove formed therein.


the processes of evaluating scientific and teaching competence. In this article the results of a survey of medical schools in Scandinavia on the relative importance of scientific and teaching merit are reported. Subsequent developments are provided from a task force working under the auspices of the Nordic Federation for Medical Education as well as from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. Suggestions are included for evaluation of teaching skills, including qualitative and subjective considerations. Arguments for increasing the value accorded to such skills are advanced and discussed.the sight plate and on all three of the Henning Group anodized aluminum basepads.

This project area addresses the need to apply basic research findings in the context of the "real world" prevention practitioner. Researchers and practitioners will to come together to integrate new knowledge about adolescent transitions, drug use behaviors, and youth focused prevention initiatives to inform school-based programming efforts. The initial activities of this project area will follow the model of NIDA's Behavioral Therapies Development Program (PA-03-066). A "Stage I" pilot will take place in the first two years of the grant period. Year one will involve the structured interaction of researchers and practitioners (including research scientists, consultants and advisors, personnel from local educational settings and state agencies) with the aim of developing a peer led prevention curriculum with an adult mentoring component. Obviously, building an effective curriculum is essential.map of the war relics in the busy harbor. The project was financed with an American Battlefield Protection grant matched by the institute.

The map includes the locations of the so-called Stone Fleet as well as 13 wrecked blockade runners. The Union brought the Stone Fleet of 29 old whaling and merchant vessels from New England, filled them with stones and sank the mess to obstruct Confederate shipping.

Spirek’s team located the first Stone Fleet by finding ballast mounds beneath the main shipping channel. A second group of 13 ships is in another channel, and its location has proved elusive, so Spirek plans to return to the latter this year to explore further.

Four sunken Union ironclads already had been documented.
