Such a decline is not observed with pneumococcal meningitis; pneumococcal vaccination was only introduced in 2011 in Benin and Mali, then in 2012 in Ghana, and in 2013 in Burkina Faso. The low case fatality in 2009 may reflect the high proportion of cases due to NmA or to the overall lower reported case fatality in the main countries affected that year (Nigeria and Niger; data not shown). In a systematic review of bacterial meningitis among African children, median case fatality for meningococcal meningitis was relatively low at 4% (range, 3%--6%) vs 25% (range, 4%--41%) for Hib \[[@CIV597C10]\].

The prosecutor acknowledges there were no exigent circumstances supporting the warrantless entry, and argues only that Munoz and Prado lacked any expectation of privacy in the room because one of the $20 bills Munoz had used to pay the day's rental was apparently counterfeit.
(1) We affirm the order. On appeal, we are required to construe the evidence in the light most favorable to the trial court's decision, and to draw all inferences in support of it. Thus, in the absence of conclusive evidence demonstrating Munoz was aware that one of the bills she used to secure an additional day's lodging was counterfeit, and thus that she intended to defraud the motel, we


must presume she did not. A motel occupant who unknowingly pays for her lodging with counterfeit money, and without any intention to defraud, does not lose her reasonable expectation of privacy in the room. The order is affirmed.

FACTS
Munoz and Prado were each charged with one count relating to their alleged possession of counterfeit currency (Pen. Code, § 476), and three counts relating to their alleged possession of methamphetamine and related paraphernalia (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 11377, 11366.8, subd. (a), 11364).
Both Munoz and Prado moved to suppress all the evidence found in the motel room they were occupying at the time of their arrest, on the basis that *129 police officers' entry into the room without permission had violated their reasonable expectation of privacy in contravention of theSatz, supra, 61 Cal.App.4th at p. 326.)
In this case, by contrast, we cannot infer that Munoz had any similar "intent to defraud" when she used a counterfeit bill as part of her payment for the night's lodging. The trial court made no such finding, and we cannot infer it absent undisputed evidence establishing it as true. A person using a stolen credit card, as did Satz, knows she is defrauding the innkeepershe need only look at the card to see it is not in her name. A person passing a counterfeit bill, however, may well be completely unaware that such is the case. This is, therefore, a very different case from Satz.
In reviewing a trial court's ruling on a motion to suppress evidence, "an appellate court defers to


the manager to the defendant's room, and stood, outside the room, as she opened the door with her passkey. After the manager had entered the room, "[t]he officer, lawfully standing in a place she had a right to be, asked if she could `check out the room.' Appellant answered, `That would be fine. I didn't do anything wrong.' The officer asked appellant if she `could look through her things.' Appellant responded: `Sure, you can check anything.'" (People v. Satz, supra, 61 Cal.App.4th at p. 324, italics added.) The court in Satz reasoned these circumstances did not add up to a violation of the defendant's reasonable expectation of privacy for two reasons. First, the court explained that "[a]n innkeeper who reasonably believes that he or she has been defraudedoccupant. In this case, the motel manager accepted Munoz's payment for the additional day, and thus extended her rental for that period. Once the manager discovered that Munoz's payment was not entirely comprised of legal tender, the motel had the right to rescind the agreement for an extra day based upon a failure of consideration. (Civ. Code, § 1689.)
However, until such a rescission takes place; i.e., the innkeeper "takes steps to effect a lawful eviction," the agreement struck between the motel and the occupantin this case the agreement to extend Munoz's occupancy of room 142 for an additional day, continues in effect. In fact, as several courts have concluded, a reasonable expectation of privacy may survive even the expiration of the rental period specifically agreed upon, where there

Is there any fastest way to shrink LOB data in SQL Server

Out of which 2458 GB is "LOB Data" and 400 GB is worth "Regular".
Since the database is hosted on AWS, so in order to save cost, we are trying to shrink data file in order to free up space.

You could create a new table in the new filegroup, migrate data to that new table, then swap table names and drop the old table. You could think of this process as a "manual rebuild"--except doing it this way would allow you to copy LOB data to the new filegroup. I describe this method in a blog post on changing data types, but the exact same method would work in this case--except you would be changing filegroups, rather than changing data types.

The Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict.

19
The district court, in granting a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, found that, although the property was seized under invalid proceedings, there was no evidence that the defendants acted in bad faith or with the intent to injure the plaintiffs.  In determining whether there exists evidence upon which a jury could find that the defendants were guilty of bad faith we think it was necessary for the trial court to consider the principles upon which this court earlier found the North Dakota statute unconstitutional.  We recognized that

Recently, it has been described the role of fatty acid ethanolamides in the control of feeding behavior. Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is a member of this family of lipid mediators regulating feeding. OEA acts suppressing feeding behavior through, at least partially, a peripheral mechanism. However, the interaction between this acylethanolamide and other orexigenic or anorexigenic mediators is mostly not well characterized. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether anorectic actions of OEA were mediated through the modulation of central and peripheral signals involved in the regulation of feeding. Experiments were performed in male Wistar rats under free-feeding and fasting conditions. We measured hypothalamic neuropeptides and monoamines by in situ hybridization and HPLC respectively as well as plasmatic levels

Use the proper base material. There are lots of different bedding materials available at pet stores, but not all of them are good for tortoises. A combination of soft earth and sand is the ideal base layer for tortoises.[5]

Many would add some water in the soil and then thoroughly mix it while discarding any unwanted objects in the process, this will prolong the substrate's freshness which reduces the frequency of substrate changes.

Adding critters such as Earthworms, Springtails, and Pillbugs can help the substrate last much longer through aeration and eating leftover food.

Provide drinking water. Beindoors, make sure your other pets do not have access to the enclosure.

If you bring your tortoise outside, be sure to cover the pen with a sturdy metal mesh top to keep predators out.

Keep handling to a minimum. Baby tortoises become stressed easily, so it's important to avoid over-handling them. Gentle petting and hand-feeding are fine, but you should wait until the tortoise is bigger to begin handling it more.[13]

If you do handle the tortoise, be careful not to distress it by flipping it over or dropping it.

Do not allow children to handle the tortoise without supervision or for long periods of time.

Prevent pyramiding. Pyramiding is a condition that is very common among tortoises that are raised in captivity. It occurs when the shell grows in an abnormal

teeth, or some other form of engagement means, or it may be smooth. Further, the frusto-conical form of the washer is reversed with respect to the conventional design, in that it converges away from the drive head rather than toward said drive head. Surprisingly, this design change produces some rather unexpected, synergistic results. Where the washer is of a larger diameter than the drive head, it can be moved closer to the head with the drive head received within the concave portion and the rim extending away from the shank. Thus, thread rolling can extend to a location proximate the drive head. In the embodiment wherein the washer includes teeth, and the washer and drive head are of approximately equal diameter, the overall axial dimension of the washerAssay of oxidized fibrinogen reactivity (OFR) as a biomarker of oxidative stress in human plasma: the role of lysine analogs.
There is accumulating evidence that fibrinogen is also a biomarker of oxidative stress in human plasma. Results of in vitro studies demonstrated that fibrinogen can bind to apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] component of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] through both lysine-sensitive and lysine-insensitive mechanisms. The goal of the present study was to investigate oxidized fibrinogen reactivity (OFR) as a biomarker of oxidative stress in human plasma in the presence and absence of lysine analogs. Citrate anticoagulated peripheral venous blood samples were collected from 65 (36 M/29 F) consecutive patients with various peripheral vascular diseases. After centrifugation, the plasma was used promptly. Plasma OFR was determined in duplicate using a recently described kinetic photometric assay


is a given smooth function. Assume now that $$\begin{aligned}
\lim_{(y,\tau)\to (x,\Psi(x))} u(x,t)=+\infty\end{aligned}$$ at every point $x\in {\Omega}$, where of course $(y,\tau)$ is in $ {\Omega}^{\Psi}$. Indeed, such a solution does not exist, except when $\Psi(x)\equiv \text{constant}$. Then we are back to the case ${\Omega}\times (0,T)$. *Infinite initial values cannot be prescribed on a whole surface in the $(x,t)$-space which is not a timeslice $t= constant$.* It is arresting, that not even a domain restricted by a hyperplane $$\begin{aligned}
t_0+a_1x_1+\ldots+a_nx_n<t<T,\,\, {\left|x\right|}<1, \end{aligned}$$ is possible, except when $a_1=\ldots=a_n=0$.

For the proof we let $x_0 \in {\Omega}$ be a point such that a small ball $B=B(x_0,r)$ is divided by the smooth level surface $C_0 =\{x\in {\Omega}\,:\,\Psi(x) =  \Psi(x_0)\}$ into two pieces, say $B^+ = \{x\in  B\,:\,\Psi(x) > \Psi(x_0)\}$ and $B^- = \{x\in B\,:\,\Psi(x) < \Psi(x_0)\}$. Then let $\omega = \omega(x)$ be the solution of the elliptic problem $$\Delta_p\,\omega\,=\,0\quad \text{in}\quad B^-\quad \text{and}\quad   \omega =  \begin{cases}   0\quad\text{in}\quad B^-\cap\partial B\\  1\quad\text{in}\quad C_0\cap  B .\end{cases}$$ (If desired, we may round off the boundary values so that the value 1 is prescribed in a smaller set, yet one of positive area). On the parabolic boundary of the domain $$\Psi(x) < t < \Psi(x_0),\quad x\in B^-$$ we have $u(x,t) \geq k\omega(x)$ for any constant $k$. By the comparison principle, see [@kilpelainenl96] and [@bjornbgp15 Theorem 2.4], the inequality $u(x,t) \geq k\omega(x)$ holds in this domain. Sending $k$ to $\infty$ we obtain that $u \equiv \infty$ in an open set of ${{\mathbb R}}^{n+1}$. This contradicts the continuity of $u$.

ease with which the state of internal signals can be determined. Controllability refers to the ease of producing a specific internal signal value. The most direct way to increase the observability or controllability of a circuit design is to introduce test points, or additional circuit inputs and outputs, into the chip for use during testing. For circuit boards, the cost of test points is often well justified. On the other hand, the cost of test points for ICs can be prohibitive because of IC pin limitations. Consequently, techniques have evolved which use scan paths to permit access to the internal nodes of a circuit without requiring a separate external connection for each node accessed.
In the scan path technique, a circuit is designed so that it has two modesof operation: one that is the normal functional mode, and the other that is a test mode in which circuit memory (storage) elements, typically combinational circuitry input and output storage elements, are interconnected into a shift register chain for forming scan units associated with each set of combinational logic. With the circuit in a test mode, it is possible to shift an arbitrary test pattern into the input elements. By returning the circuit to a normal mode for one clock period, the combinational circuitry can act upon the shift register contents and then store the results in the output elements. If the circuit is then placed into a test mode, it is possible to shift out the contents of the shift register and compare the contents with the


flip-flops, as the shift register elements. An example of the technique is "level sensitive scan design" (LSSD), used by IBM. Unfortunately, it is not possible to reconfigure system latches directly into a shift register for test purposes. Instead, the conversion of a latch register into a shift register requires converting each latch into a specialized dual input latch and placing an extra latch between each register stage. The resulting structure requires three clocks to operate, and each clock must be carefully controlled and operated at different times, depending on whether the system is in normal or test mode. The controlling logic adds to clock skew.
The following publications discuss techniques of Level Sensitive Scan Design and are considered relevant to the present invention. They are incorporated herein by reference.Postcards From Komodo National Park in the Mid-1920s

Widespread notoriety came after 1912, when Peter Ouwens, the director of the Zoological Museum at Bogor, West Java, published a paper on the topic after receiving a photo and a skin from the lieutenant, as well as two other specimens from a collector.

Reducible matchgates
--------------------

\[lem:reductionlemma\] Let $\Delta_1$ be a $(k+1)$-bit reducible matchgate, that is, the bottom edge $(k+1, k+3)$ having weight $1$ and there is no any other edge incident to any of the nodes $k+1$ and $k+3$. Let $\Gamma_1$ be the $k$-bit matchgate obtained from $\Delta_1$ by deleting the edge $(k+1,k+3)$. Then:

\(i) If $\Delta_1$ is invertible, so is $\Gamma_1$.

\(ii) If $\chi(\Gamma_1)^{-1}$ is a character matrix, so is $\chi(\Delta_1)^{-1}$.

(Sketch) For (i). This holds because $\chi(\Delta_1)$ is a block diagonal matrix after rearranging the order of rows and columns, and $\chi(\Gamma_1)$ is equal to one block.

For (ii). We prove this by constructing the inverted matchgate $\Delta_2(F_2, W_2, Z_2, T_2)$ of $\Delta_1(F_1, W_1, Z_1, T_1)$ from the inverted gate $\Gamma_2(G_2, X_2, Y_2, T_2)$

[**Phase T2**]{}: Phase T2 will change the edge entries in the last column and the last row to 0’s. We first describe the actions for the column as follows.

[**Phase T2 for the last column**]{}:

We turn the edge entries in the last column to $0$’s one by one from bottom to top. To turn an edge entry $(X',2^k-1)$ to zero, we need a row transformation applied to the current matrix $A$, which adds the multiplication of $-b$ and the last row to row $X'$, where $b$ is the value of entry $(X',2^k-1)$ of the current matrix.

Therefore phase T2 for the last column consists of the following actions. In decreasing order of $X'$, for every edge entry $(X',2^k-1)$, we have:

Turkish Breakfast – Kahvaltı

The residents of the great state of New Jersey do so many things so well. For example, we are very good at fitting 1,175 people on one square mile of land, we excel at spoon collecting (Don’t believe me? Check out the Lambert Castle Museum), and we make a damn good breakfast. Accordingly, my expectations for population density, silverware hoarding, and breakfast complexity are high. Some of my earliest food memories are in diners where massive breakfast spreads would fill a food pyramid many times over with their incredible diversity: pancakes, sausage links, scrambled eggs, toast with butter, hash browns, and bacon, just for starters.

It was not until I visited Turkey that I realized another place on this planet could compete with the fair GardenState by serving a ridiculous number of things on one plate and calling it the first meal of the day. But kahvaltı, Turkish breakfast, is almost healthy. Sliced cucumbers and peeled tomatoes are a staple, as are olives and cheeses. So far so good, right? Well, instead of butter and jam, there is kaymak and honey. And let’s not mention that I eat all the kaymak until it is gone (read: I eat an entire loaf of bread first thing in the morning). In conclusion, I love Turkish breakfast because it provides diversity that awakens my nostalgia for home, but does so in a way that throws in some healthy things, to mitigate the impact of all those carbs and pure fat.

An EU diplomat has told Reuters the new European measures include a ban on financial transactions, with some exceptions for those involving humanitarian aid, food and medicine purchases and provisions for legitimate trade.

In a reversal of existing European policy, the ban will require European traders to apply to their governments for authorisation before they can finance any transactions in allowed goods. Previously, the EU’s more narrow approach was to allow trade broadly while banning specific products.

Trade will be hampered further by a new ban on Europeans extending short-term trade guarantees.

“The new EU sanctions will augment the already severe pain that sanctions are inflicting on Iran’s economy,” said Cliff Kupchan, a Middle East analyst at consultancy Eurasia Group.

In particular we will test the idea that a target-derived molecule is important for the survival and differentiation of developing neurons of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), as well as the survival of these same neurons after they mature. In addition, an intensive effort is proposed to scale up production of this factor (which is already close to purification) for amino acid sequencing and monoclonal antibody production.

In my environment people lacked the courage to take charge of their lives and assert their identity and destiny . It was always an issue of playing the blame game and not owning up to responsibilities and so most of the time people will look for whom to blame for their own inflicted woes and incompetency. Nothing therefore happens naturally, if someone dies then he must have been killed by his enemies who have vowed not to see him live and succeed, if one was unsuccessful in his business or career then it must be that his kinsmen or his enemies have used charm to block his progress, his destiny.

What Kamara is looking forward to is the task at hand, and the Whitecaps still have it all to play for this season. Despite losing three of their last four games, the Whitecaps are within touching distance of the Western Conference's final playoff spot with just a few games left. They host Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday (10:30 pm ET | TSN — Full TV & Streaming info) and a win would see them draw level with Real Salt Lake in sixth place with two games left in the season.

Supposeit took for the collapse to occur.

Although this step was unsuccessful at being able to produce full resolution emotes, I felt as though it gave me a necessary introduction to CNNs and was good preparation for the rest of the project.

In total, this section took ~3 weeks from end-to-end. A majority of this was spent developing the initial custom network architecture and trying to correct GAN collapse problems.

3. Adapt the emote dataset for use with a real research-caliber GAN implementation

I decided to use the Tensorflow implementation of a progressive growing GAN provided here. There were three main reasons for picking this specific GAN, given the huge diversity of different GAN architectures available.

The first reason was that this implementation had a proven history of being able to generate very


up another training iteration.

The text direction was fixed and it was actually pretty readable, but the remainder of the image still had that amorphous blob look. In general, the training emotes fell into three different categories:

“Hype” on the top of the image with something below it

“Hype” or “Sub Hype” all alone on a white background

“Hype” on the bottom of the image with something above it

As as last ditch effort, I manually curated a dataset of only emotes from category 3, the retrained the GAN on this. This greatly stabilized the general structure of the generated emotes, even if a faces were still blurry messes.

5.2 Just the faces, please

Seeing how a more consistent training dataset had been able to stabilize the generated hype emotes, my next goal was removingGAN during training far more than the typical emote. This over-weighting was strong enough converge the GAN to a local optimum, producing a near perfect replication of this specific emote.

Luckily, face_recognition provides a way to detect similar faces. Along with the position of face_landmarks, a face_encoding is output which should be nearly identical for all faces of the same person. You can read more about the ResNet CNN which is behind this encoding here. Since duplicate faces are likely to have similar emote_ids (due to being uploaded at nearly the same time), I ran a window function over the images sorted by emote_id. This compared the face_encoding values for all faces within a 1000 emote window to detect those which were near identical. The window size of 1000


sounds a little negative. However, I did manage to get A LOT of words written, so clearly the technique was working its magic despite my misgivings. And since that session, I’ve used the technique again – you guessed it, in a coffee shop! I’ve discovered that I respond really well to the principle of short bursts of activity, where writing’s concerned. My problem really lies in not letting myself wander off to the tasks that really can wait, and making sure I’m writing in an environment in which I feel comfortable. As I said, I struggle to write in my university office, and I’m still trying to get to grips with how to manage that.

is an intent to do a further act or achieve a future consequence, the crime is one of specific intent. (People v. Hood (1969) 1 Cal.3d 444, 456-457 [82 Cal. Rptr. 618, 462 P.2d 370].)
Respondent simply counters to all of these contentions that appellant is mistaken in asserting that aiding and abetting is a specific intent crime since it is "not a crime at all, it is a theory of vicarious liability." Respondent cites People v. Croy (1985) 41 Cal.3d 1, 12, footnote 5 [221 Cal. Rptr. 592, 710 P.2d 392], and People v. Brigham (1989) 216 Cal. App.3d 1039, 1046, 1049, footnote 8 [265 Cal. Rptr. 486].
We have found no case and none has been cited by either party which disposes of this issue. Appellant relies primarilywith the intent or purpose of facilitating the perpetrator's commission of the crime. [Citations.]" (People v. Beeman, supra, 35 Cal.3d at p. 560, italics added to references to "specific intent.") Beeman also concluded that CALJIC No. 3.00 did not accurately embody the criminal intent required and expressly stated that "[t]he liability of an aider and abettor extends also to the natural and reasonable consequences of the acts he knowingly and intentionally aids and encourages." (People v. Beeman, supra, 35 Cal.3d at p. 560.)
The lower court in the instant case adequately defined aiding and abetting pursuant to the suggestion of the Beeman court which the CALJIC committee adopted in the 1984 revision of CALJIC No. 3.01.

Today is "Bloomsday," the traditional day for book lovers to celebrate James Joyce's masterpiece, Ulysses (text -- audio). To mark the occasion we bring you this rare 1924 recording of Joyce reading from the Aeolus episode of the novel. The recording was arranged and financed by the author's friend and publisher Sylvia Beach, who brought him by taxi to the HMV (His Master's Voice) gramophone studio in the Paris suburb of Billancourt. The first session didn't go well. Joyce was nervous and suffering from his recurring eye troubles. He and Beach returned another day to finish the recording. In her memoir, Shakespeare & Company, Beach writes:

Joyce had chosen the speech in the Aeolus episode, the only passage that could be lifted out of Ulysses, he said, and the// Copyright (c) All contributors. All rights reserved.

objects" in ocaml, but I think case classes may have what you need.  For a simple use case, they provide some nice syntax and convenient functions like copy:
scala> case class Foo(a: Int, b: Int)
defined class Foo

scala> val f = Foo(1, 2)
f: Foo = Foo(1,2)

scala> val g = f.copy(a = 2)
g: Foo = Foo(2,2)

However it does come with some important limitations (like lack of inheritance).  See this page for more info:  http://www.scala-lang.org/old/node/107 and this thread for why it's a bad idea to inherit from case classes: What is *so* wrong with case class inheritance?

TRUMP DOUBLES DOWN ON PLAN TO SHIP MIGRANTS TO SANCTUARY CITIES, SAYS 'RADICAL LEFT' SHOULD BE HAPPY

Many other leading Democrats -- including presidential candidates Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., -- have gone further, proposing to abolish ICE altogether. In 2013, when she was House minority leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., -- now the House speaker -- called for an end to deportations for illegal immigrants who have not committed felonies, declaring "Our view of the law is that … if somebody is hereto vote. And then the Americans who voted to turn their cities into magnets for illegal immigrants could bear the costs of supporting them.

If anything, it is conservatives who should be up in arms over the idea of releasing illegal immigrants into sanctuary cities. Once they are in sanctuary cities, then it will be harder to find and deport the ones committing violent crimes. Just ask the family of Kate Steinle.

Trump's plan likely won't ever come to fruition, but the president is effectively calling out Democrats for their hypocrisy. There was a time when many Democrats believed, as Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a 2009 speech, that "Illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple." No longer. If Democrats won't help

As many people maintain status information on social network websites, a caller may wish to check the status of the person on social network websites. By way of example, if a caller sees that the status of a person is listed as “Mary Ellen is going to the theater tonight” on a social network website, the caller may decide not to place a call to the person because he or she is aware that someone at a theater is unlikely to answer a call.


a sexually transmitted disease, and therefore a global concern.

Because of the conservative nature of Iraqi society, sex education tends to be neglected and public awareness of STDs is poor. Sex education should teach young people about relationships, respect and sex and its consequences from a young age. This includes STDs.

A conservative society doesn’t mean sex outside of marriage doesn’t occur, rather that it is done in secret. And without education about the consequences of unprotected sex, disease can spread.

the Education Bureau (EDB) (Education Bureau [@CR11]). However, many teachers in the region have expressed a reluctance to adapt their teaching style to accommodate this technology-based approach. In order to effectively overcome these challenges, it is essential to work with teachers and understand why they may have reservations about the radical change in the structuring of their lessons necessitated by the adoption of flipped classrooms.

Flipped classroom {#Sec3}
-----------------

Flipped classroom provides a way to alter the traditional pattern of learning and teaching, with faculty posting their class lectures online for students to view so that they can use class time for hands-on application, problem-solving and assessment. In other words, what was formerly schoolwork becomes homework and what was formerly homework becomes schoolwork---hence 'flipped'.

The flipped classroom approach is notsimply about doing homework in class and delivering lecture material digitally to students outside of class. It is, in fact, a pedagogical method that aims to emphasise learning over content delivery by optimising learning and teaching activities (Flipped Learning Network [@CR17]); while in the classroom, the learning and teaching focuses on higher forms of cognitive work (*applying*, *analyzing*, e*valuating* and *creating* in Bloom's revised taxonomy), and the lower levels (*remembering* and *understanding*) are presented before class through recorded lectures and video (See Fig. [1](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}).Fig. 1Bloom's revised taxonomy in a flipped classroom

O'Flaherty and Philips ([@CR30]), whose research focused on student-centred learning perspectives, gathered that the flipped classroom is superior to traditional methods of learning and teaching, in which lectures are delivered during class and students are asked to engage in


expertise, as well as their prior experience and familiarity with ICT, also varied, and most of them have never tried flipped classroom method to teach. Before the study commenced, all respondents were informed of the confidentiality and anonymity of the collected data, as well as how it would be represented.

Data collection and analysis {#Sec10}
----------------------------

The questionnaires were distributed and collected in May 2014, with the data entered into Microsoft Excel, a spreadsheet software programme.

All responses in Chinese were translated into English. For the sake of consistency, the translation was verified by a separate researcher.

A subsequent thematic analysis (Boyatzis [@CR4]) was carried out, meaning that responses were categorised into first- and second-order barriers.

The study went beyond simply pointing out and investigating barriers to adopting flipped classroom teaching methods. It waslimiting factor in adopting flipped classrooms.

More specifically, amongst these reported barriers, most respondents (87%) stated that they had struggled with limited time and energy even before they were suggested to implement the flipped classroom model. In other words, the demand on teachers' time and energy in their existing teaching practice without involving technologies was already great. Although time constraints can become an excuse for some of those teachers who are not technologically inclined to avoid using flipped classrooms, admittedly, without supportive policies that can balance teacher workload, it is unlikely that teachers will have a willingness to adopt flipped classrooms.

Although ICT alone is a facilitator, not a driver for change (Yuen et al. [@CR41]), teachers with limited exposure to ICT would need the availability of technical training, along


Teacher appreciation of how these shifts and changes can expose new learning opportunities may serve as the key enablers to make their subjects and disciplines more meaningful to students and more relevant to society. Ultimately, changes in both thought and action can be achieved.

To put the aforementioned measures into action, through linking up with our partners, the research team offered a spectrum of pedagogically focused seminars, sharing sessions and workshops throughout the 2014--2015 school year to showcase innovative flipped classroom practices in different Hong Kong secondary schools and elsewhere. These capacity building activities started with the notion that teachers might get carried away with videos that students are supposed to watch at home, forgetting the whole purpose of flipping the classroom. More specifically, instead of merely training teachersenthusiastic about adopting flipped classroom in their own teaching practices. According to our administered surveys, which used a 5-point scale, where 1 means very unsatisfied and 5 means very satisfied, teachers evaluated our capacity-building programme with an overall high satisfaction rating of 4.4 (mean). Many reported that the content was 'interesting and practical'. Most importantly, as the content provided were very 'pedagogically focused', 'case-based' and 'context-rich', over half of the participating teachers (52%) reported that they could directly 'extract what they learned from those scenarios' or 'borrow a thing or two from other's experiences' and would be able to apply the knowledge into their own flipped teaching. These assertions may be considered as indicators that teachers' resistance towards flipped classroom was fading, and their willingness of adopting the

opportunities to fulfil those dreams, and the closest he ever got to reaching those goals was becoming an assistant to a reputable scientist who was working on a major ground-breaking project: unlocking the secrets of time travel. When the opportunity arose to fulfil his goals, he took it, only to end up back to where he started (repeatedly) due to interventions by both the Justice Society and Justice League. When he realised he would never accomplish his goal (especially not after being exposed to US members of Congress), he opted to take his own life, preferring death to a lifetime of failure. That was a pretty mature theme to explore in a comic that was still written with children in mind. I honestly found myself wondering how aprinted halftoned images can result in image defects such as, for instance, white gaps between a two color edge.
One general approach for correcting for misregistration is to expand one of the abutting regions' separations to fill the misregistration border region with a color determined to minimize the visual effect when printed. Borders or edges that have been expanded from a region of one color to a region of another color, in this manner, are said to be “spread”, i.e., the submissive color is spread into an area of the dominant color.

complicated. The equation of motion for $A_{\text{x}}^3$ mixes it with other two components $A_{\text{t}}^1$ and $A_{\text{t}}^2$ in (\[infesimal\]). The equations of motion for the three components are $$\begin{aligned}

{A_{x}^3}''+(\frac1 r+\frac{f'}{f})A_{x}^3{'}+\frac{\omega ^2
A^3_{x}}{f^2}-\frac{i\omega A_{t}^2+A_{t}^1\phi}{f^2}\psi=0,\\

\psi^2}{r^2 f}-\frac{i L^2 \omega  A_{x}^3 \psi}{r^2 f}=0.
 \end{aligned}$$ Besides these three equations of motion, there are two additional constraints: $$\begin{aligned}

-  \phi A_{t}^1{'}+ i  \omega A_{t}^2{'}-\frac{L^2 f \psi
A_{x}^3{'}}{ r^2}+

As in the case of holographic s-wave superconductors, the ratio of the gap frequency over the critical temperature $\omega_g/T_c$ deviates from the universal value 8 and the ratio depends on the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient. We can see that $\om_g$ increases as $\al$ grows. Because $\om_g$ can be interpreted as the energy to break a pair of fermions, the bigger $\om_g$ is, the harder the fermion pairs to form. Thus we can draw the conclusion again that a positive Gauss-Bonnet term makes the condensation harder. Furthermore, because the boundary spacetime is four dimensional, the conductivity is of mass

The coefficients of polynomials appearing in the NTRUSign signature scheme are calculated via a modulo q operation.
(ii) Parameters df, dg
The polynomial f and polynomial, g, which are pan of the private key used in the NTRUSign signature scheme, are determined respectively by parameters df and dg. Polynomial g is used along with polynomial f when generating polynomial h, the public key.
The polynomial f is selected so that, among N coefficients, df coefficients have a value of “1”, and other coefficients have a value of “0”. In other words, the polynomial f is a polynomial of degree N−1 or less and has N coefficients from, degree 0 (constant term) to degree N−1. Among these N coefficients, df coefficients have a value of “1”, and (N−df) coefficients have a valueNon-Patent Literature 4, (N,q,df,dg,Normbound)=(251,128,73,71,310) is provided as an example of parameters in the NTRUSign signature scheme.
(2) Hash Value of Message Data, Norm, and Distance Between Vectors
In the NTRUSign signature scheme, a signature is generated for a hash value of message data. The hash value of the message data is a polynomial of degree N and is expressed as a 2·N dimensional vector. The hash function used to calculate the hash value from the message data is described in detail in Non-Patent Literature 1.
In the NTRUSign signature scheme, the distance between vectors is used for signature verification. Definitions are provided below.
The norm ∥a∥ of the polynomial a=a0+a1·X+a2·X^2+ . . . +a(N-1)·X^(N−1) is defined as follows.∥a∥=sqrt((a0−μ)^2+ . . . +(a(N-1)−μ)^2)μ=(1/N)·(a0+a1+a2+ . . . +a(N-1))
Note that sqrt(x) indicates the square root


the target of the signature.
First, a 2·N dimensional vector (m1,m2) is calculated as the hash value for the message data m.
Next, using the public key h, a polynomial t is calculated via the following equation.t=s×h(mod q)
Furthermore, the distance between the 2·N dimensional vector (s,t) and the 2·N dimensional vector (m1,m2) is calculated, and it is determined whether the distance is less than Normbound. If the distance is less than Normbound, the signature s is determined to be valid and is accepted. If the distance is equal to or greater than Normbound, the signature s is determined to be invalid and is rejected.
During signature verification in the NTRUSign signature scheme, a signature is thus determined to be valid if the signature vector is sufficiently close to a hash valuean Lpub coordinate system when the entire 2·N dimensional vector is treated as a lattice (lattice Lpub).
During signature verification, the distance between the 2·N dimensional vector (s,t) 822, which is the signature vector, and the 2·N dimensional vector (m1,m2) 821, which is the hash value vector obtained from the message data, is calculated, and it is determined whether the distance is less than Normbound. In other words, as shown in FIG. 20B, it is determined whether the 2·N dimensional vector (m1,m2) 821 exists within a hypersphere 823 that has a radius of Normbound and which is centered on the 2·N dimensional vector (s,t) 822, When the 2·N dimensional vector (m1,m2) 821 does exist within the hypersphere 823, signature verification is determined to be successful. When the 2·N dimensional


key. Given this basis for security, it is thought to be difficult to acquire a public key from a private key.
As shown in FIG. 20A, during signature generation in the NTRUSign signature scheme, a vector for a lattice point that is close to the hash value vector 801H(m)=(m1,m2) for the message data (the closest lattice point) is treated as the signature vector 800(s,t), The closest lattice point vector is sought by projecting the hash value vector onto the basis formed by the private key basis 802(f,g) and the private key basis 803(F,G) to calculate the closest lattice point.
In the NTRUSign signature scheme, the signature vector (s,t) is thus the closest lattice point to the hash value vector (m1,m2) for the message data.

One of my current guilty pleasures (yes, I have more than one; shut up) is this "reality" TV show called Ink Master, wherein a bunch of tattoo artists compete for $100,000 and -- even better! -- the title of Ink Master.

It is exactly the same as Shear Genius, which was a hairstyling competition and another one of my (many) guilty pleasures, except with needles instead of scissors.

Influence of imipramine on neuropeptide Y immunoreactivity in the rat brain.
The effects of treatment with the antidepressant drug imipramine on neuropeptide Y immunoreactivity were studied immunocytochemically in the rat brain cortex and hypothalamus. It was found that the level of neuropeptide Y immunoreactivity in the cortex was significantly lowered three and 24 h after the last dose of chronic (14 days) imipramine administration as well as 3 h after acute administration. A tendency to decrease neuropeptide Y immunoreactivity was also found in the hypothalamus. The results obtained suggest an important role of the cortical neuropeptide Y in the action of the drug.some 11 years to make the huge systemic changes necessary to save ourselves from ecological destruction, only compounded my reproductive anxiety.

Branching to Levi subgroups in SAGE and the circle action

In the SAGE computer package, there useful exist tools for branching representations of a simple Lie group to a Levi subgroup:
http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/combinat/sage/combinat/root_system/branching_rules.html#sage.combinat.root_system.branching_rules.BranchingRule.Stype
Explicitly, one is branching to subgroup corresponding to a Dynkin sub-diagram, obtained by removing a single node.
For example, we can branch from $SL(n)$ to the subgroup $SL(n-1)$.
However, $SL(n-1)$ can be considered as "living" in the larger subgroup
$SL(n-1) \times U1$. This is true for every subgroup coming from a deleted node, i.e. one can always take the product of the subgroup with U1, to obtain a larger subgroup.
How does one branch to this subgroup in SAGE. For example, it is done in the LieArt program for mathematica: see A3 of the following

That sounds like wishful thinking. If the turnout in special elections over the past few months is any indication, Trump "fighting back" does have a galvanizing effect -- on the Democrats. In this polarized political world, for every member of the base he thrills with his tweeted war cries, there's a member of the Democratic base having exactly the opposite reaction. Trump's new "war footing" will likely raise their already high enthusiasm for winning back the Congress.

Use of the Ilizarov technique after a free microvascular muscle flap transplantation in massive trauma of the lower leg.
The use of microvascular flaps has become routine in treating compound tibial fractures with extensive soft-tissue loss. Vascularized bone grafts, or shortening of the leg and later elongation with the Ilizarov technique, have been advocated if the injury involves major bone loss. The authors treated four of these massive injuries by debridement and external fixation with the leg at its normal length. Acute free flap reconstructions (four latissimus dorsi, and one case added with a vascularized iliac crest graft) were performed. Tibial corticotomy was later made above or below the defect (varying from 2.5 to 7 cm) and the bone was corrected with slow (0.5-0.75 mm/day) segmental distraction.

    meaningful units of experience possible. Its destructive antipode is the power which destroys all. Nietzsche calls the creative power "Apollinian"; the pleasurable drive to destroy unities of intelligible experience is called "Dionysian". Both pleasure-giving powers create, in their combative interplay, the epochal achievements of culture.

In the opening sections of the BT, Nietzsche portrays the dynamic polarity of Apollinian and Dionysian forces as a kind of dialectic which constantly creates anew through construction and destruction. It is the battle of these two antithetical principles which permitted the early Greeks to swiftly develop the simple song into artful poetry and then, later on, the all-encompassing art of tragedy.

As Nietzsche does not limit this description to the history of Greek culture, he postulates this dialectic as a kind of law of


obeyed the laws of his fatherland is a capital indecency.

And yet Nietzsche’s view of Socrates is marked by deep admiration. He came among the Greeks as a “force of nature” and put everything under his spell by means of “the upmost instinctive powers” and upon the basis of “divine naiveté”. The “terrific gear of logical Socratism” which Socrates set in motion has, according to Nietzsche, not only the brightness of consciousness, but also prepares “something quite enigmatic, unrubricateable, inexplicable” (BT 12; 1, 90 ff.). Nietzsche names numerous qualities which he himself values and which run counter to his claim that Socrates was really nothing more than a “superfoetation” of his own brain. To the contrary, it is rather the case the Socrates possesses a considerable amount of Dionysianagain that “everything” is will to power (cf. Nachlass 1885/86 [31]; 11, 563).

From later remarks we know that Nietzsche developed this formula with the ambition of superseding the thesis of “force” as the ultimate unit of nature, a thesis tended by certain physicists who were contemporaries to Nietzsche. He seeks to “complement” the concept of physical force: it should involve not merely an “external” activity, but also an “inner” dimension. This means that mental and psychological factors are elevated to the level of elemental cosmic forces. Nietzsche seeks to overcome the separation of material and ideal, of body and mind, or of reality and ideas in this new foundation for all organic and physical movement.

It is in this intention that “power” and “will” are yoked together as “will


on modernity, metaphysics, science or religion while at the same time wishing to somehow remain connected with one of them, some of them, or all.

The most important development in the reception of Nietzsche reception in the 20th Century is the attempt to produce a critical edition of his works. This project has put philological activities into motion which were, after Nietzsche, not even thought possible. By means of these activities, historically oriented research is now at the task of exposing the far-flung network in which Nietzsche is connected with his time and Western thought. It is by means of this research that Nietzsche has become the classic of thought which he now is. And he still has the virtue of speaking directly to whomever may read him.

It’s Wednesday and that means it’s time to talk about the Winchesters. (AKA my favorite pastime)

So last night the Collectiva Diva and I sat our arses on my sofa, each of us with a steaming cup of tea–so maybe we’re Brits at heart–and prepared to ogle admire our favorite hunters of the supernatural. With Jared Padalecki, Mark Sheppard, and Osric Chau live-tweeting, it felt as if the boys were in the room watching with us. (Come on over, Jared. I’ve got tea to spare and I’d love to braid your hair.) Season 9 is shaping up to be potentially emotionally catastrophic, but for the life of me, I can’t say that I mind one bit. Winchester family drama keeps me tuned in every week. So without further ado,the extraordinary calm at partition reaches back in time almost two and a half centuries.

In 1705, the region was at war, and the two youngest sons of the 10th Sikh guru, Gobind Singh, had been seized by Mughal forces at Sirhind. The captors planned to execute the boys by bricking them up alive inside an airless chamber.

Nawab Sher Muhammad Khan of Malerkotla, an ally of the capturing force, argued against their murder.

"He raised his voice. It was a very human act, and it has been appreciated in Sikh history," explained Nadeem Anwar Khan, a Congress party politician and an eighth-generation descendent of Nawab Sher Muhammad Khan, who watched the protest speeches from a plastic chair in a VIP zone to one side of the dais.

Lal, a Bhagat Singh scholar, told me over the phone, later. "The idea has been ingrained into people's minds because of the popular media" - he blames a famous movie and a famous song.

But Lal, who had also been at Malerkotla that Sunday, conceded that even an ahistoric basanti tribute at a protest still amounted to a celebration of Bhagat Singh's revolutionary spirit.

"In him, they find a person who actually gives them the real sense of nationhood, who made no distinction between Hindu, Muslim, Sikh. He stood for all oppressed people," Lal explained.

To Lal, it seemed like the reanimation of the heroes of the independence movement was a tacit acknowledgement of unfinished business.

The mindset is characterized by a complete lack of responsibility on the part of the child or parent, and instead places blame solely on the lemon author.

As such a process for producing a cyanohydrin compound, a process for achieving a synthesis by cooling and stirring a carbonyl compound including a catalyst and serving as a raw material, supplying hydrogen cyanide slowly thereinto, proceeding with a reaction while removing reaction heat successively (hereinafter referred to as “batch process”) is commonly used. The reaction between the carbonyl compound and the hydrogen cyanide is very high in speed and also high in reaction heat. Therefore, the hydrogen cyanide is supplied over a long period of time so that the reaction system is inhibited from abruptly rising in temperature.
Besides the batch process, there have been known processes described in Patent

Because the Macintosh GUI is a dynamic audiovisual work, Apple argues that the "total concept and feel" of its works--that is, the selection and arrangement of related images and their animation--must be compared with that of the Windows and NewWave GUIs for substantial similarity.  Apple further asserts that in this case, the court had no occasion to dissect its works into discrete elements because Microsoft and HP virtually mimicked the composition, organization, arrangement and dynamics of the Macintosh interface, as shown by striking similarities in the animation of overlapping windows and the design, layout and animation of icons.  Apple also argues that even if dissection were appropriate, the district court should not have eliminated fromby circumstantial evidence of access and substantial similarity of both the general ideas and expression between the copyrighted work and the allegedly infringing work.

The intrinsic prong was a test for similarity of expression from the standpoint of the ordinary reasonable observer, with no expert assistance.  Id.  As it has evolved, however, the extrinsic test now


706-11 (2d Cir.1992) (adopting "abstraction-filtration-comparison" test for analyzing nonliteral structure of computer program, relying in part on our own approach);  Gates Rubber Co. v. Bando Chem.  Indus., 9 F.3d 823, 834, 841 (10th Cir.1993) (adopting Altai test, but suggesting that comparison of works as a whole may be appropriate as preliminary step before filtering out unprotected elements);  Engineering Dynamics, Inc. v. Structural Software, Inc., 26 F.3d 1335, 1342-43 (5th Cir.1994) (adopting Gates Rubber/ Altai test to analyze scope of copyright protection for user interface, input formats and output reports);  Lotus Dev.  Corp. v. Borland Int'l, Inc., 788 F.Supp. 78, 90, 93 (D.Mass.1992) (describing similar three-part test);  cf. Whelan Assocs. v. Jaslow Dental Lab., Inc., 797 F.2d 1222, 1236 (3d Cir.1986) (defining ideaof utilitarian work as its purpose or function, and everything not necessary to that purpose as expression), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 1031, 107 S.Ct. 877, 93 L.Ed.2d 831 (1987).

Nor did the district court's dissection run afoul of the enjoinder in such cases as Johnson Controls, 886 F.2d at 1176, Krofft, 562 F.2d at 1167, and Roth, 429 F.2d at 1110, to consider the "total concept and feel" of a work.  Here, the court did not inappropriately dissect dissimilarities, and so did nothing to distract from subjectively comparing the works as a whole.  See Aliotti v. R. Dakin & Co., 831 F.2d 898, 901 (9th Cir.1987) (indicating that as the concern of Krofft ).

As we made clear in Aliotti, the party claiming infringement may place "no reliance


upon any similarity in expression resulting from" unprotectable elements.  Id. (emphasis added) (similarities between competing stuffed dinosaur toys on account of posture and body design, and being cuddly, stem from the physiognomy of dinosaurs or from the nature of stuffed animals and are thus unprotectable).  Otherwise, there would be no point to the extrinsic test, or to distinguishing ideas from expression.  In this case, it would also effectively rescind the 1985 Agreement.  This does not mean that at the end of the day, when the works are considered under the intrinsic test, they should not be compared as a whole.  See McCulloch v. Albert E. Price, Inc., 823 F.2d 316, 321 (9th Cir.1987) (contrasting artistic work at issue, where decorative plates were substantiallyFrybarger, 812 F.2d at 529 (to extent that similarities between works were confined to ideas and general concepts, they were noninfringing).

The district court's conclusion that the works as a whole are entitled only to limited protection and should be compared for virtual identity follows from its analytic dissection.  By virtue of the licensing agreement, Microsoft and HP were entitled to use the vast majority of features that Apple claims were copied.  Of those that remain, the district court found no unauthorized, protectable similarities of expression in Windows 2.03 and 3.0, and only a handful in NewWave.  Thus, any claim of infringement that Apple may have against Microsoft must rest on the copying of Apple's unique selection and arrangement of all of these features.  Under


332.2 (1993).  He can therefore sue for copying of material that appears in both the derivative work and the underlying work.  Id.;  see Gamma Audio & Video, Inc., v. Ean-Chea, 11 F.3d 1106, 1111-12 (1st Cir.1993) (allowing exclusive licensee to base infringement suit on derivative works;  because derivative works were unregistered, licensee could recover statutory damages only if defendant's unauthorized rental of derivative works also infringed licensee's rights in underlying works).  Like an exclusive licensee, Apple owns the rights in the underlying work on which the Finder is based.  It therefore may base its claims on both the Finder and the Lisa.

50
Nevertheless, we need not reverse.  Apple contends that it was deprived of the opportunity fairly to present its case becausethe Finder is what everyone is familiar with and almost none of the available evidence relates to the Lisa.  It concedes, however, that throughout the summary judgment proceedings the district court allowed it to present its case using the Finder.  Thus, dismissal of the Finder could only have an effect if the case were to go to trial.  By virtue of Apple's non-opposition to judgment on the works as a whole, we take it that the Lisa is not virtually identical to Windows 2.03, 3.0 or NewWave.  As the district court found no material difference between the Lisa and the Finder, there can be no virtual identity as between the accused works and the Finder, either.
