When did these characters elude Bane in The Dark Knight Rises?

In The Dark Knight Rises, Bane

 takes the Wayne Enterprises board hostage, and “forces” Lucius Fox and Miranda Tate to give him access to the nuclear thingy.

This hostage-taking is what prompts

 the police to head into the sewers, where they are promptly trapped when Bane sets off his explosives and takes control of Gotham.

Some time later

 a special forces team covertly enters the city, and are taken by Jim Gordon and John Blake to meet Lucius and Miranda, who are living in a building which is then raided by Bane & his soldiers, who re-capture Fox and Miranda.

But when did these characters get free from Bane in the first place? Did he just let them wander off at


Sproles is fourth on the Saints in total rushing and fourth in average yards per carry.

Undrafted rookie free agent Khiry Robinson has turned some heads this season, despite being buried on the depth chart. Listed at 6'0", 220 pounds, Robinson has 33 carries for 146 yards and a score; his 4.4 yards-per-attempt average is second best on the Saints.

Mark Ingram splits the size difference between Sproles and Robinson; he stands 5'9" and weighs 215 pounds. The 2011 first-round pick struggled in his first two years but leads the 2013 Saints with 5.6 yards per carry. Ingram, well-suited to a one-cut power run game, is hitting his stride as the Saints put more beef between the tackles.

Our previous study has shown that type X collagen mRNA is significantly up regulated in response to 5% overall matrix deformation at 1 Hz in a 3-D chondrocyte culture system after 48 hours cyclic loading \[[@B2]\]. The specific loading strain and frequency were chosen because they stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of growth plate chondrocytes \[[@B2]\]. In the present study, we test the hypothesis that various local strains in different regions of the 3D scaffold result in different levels of type X collagen mRNA expression by chondrocytes in those areas.

Methods
=======

Chondrocyte isolation
---------------------

Primary cultures of early hypertrophic chondrocytes were established from 17-day-old embryonic chick sterna as described previously \[[@B10],[@B11]\]. Chondrocytes from the cephalic part of chick sterna were used in the examination of type X collagen mRNA levels. Briefly,


the strain in either end region. Strain values are reported as mean ± one standard deviation.](1749-799X-1-15-3){#F3}

Analysis of type X collagen mRNA levels
---------------------------------------

Total RNA was extracted from cells with RNeasy mini kits (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). Quantification of the type X collagen mRNA was performed by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR). 1 μg total RNA was used for each reverse transcriptase reaction in a reaction buffer containing 1 μl oligo(dT) and 1 μl 10 mM dNTP Mix (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Real-time quantitative PCR amplification was performed using SYBR Green I (Finnzymes, Keilaranta, Finland) with DNA Engine Opticon 2 Continuous Fluorescence Detection System (MJ Research, Waltham, MA, USA). Primers used in amplification of type X collagen mRNA are shown in Table [1](#T1){ref-type="table"}. Type X collagen mRNA levels werepower to very small values at maximum power. Thus all strain values reported here in are those in the x-direction. Strain values are reported with respect to their initial unstretched position on the sponge and are the averages of the strain values for that specific column (y-direction) of marker points.

Statistical analysis
--------------------

Two-tailed t-tests were used to compare type X collagen mRNA levels from mechanically loaded chondrocytes in the Gelfoam sponge to those in the corresponding region under non-load conditions. Col X mRNA levels from chondrocytes in the center or end regions of the sponge in response to different strains were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett Multiple Comparison post-hoc test. For these calculations, *p*\< 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

Results

Type X collagen mRNA expression in response to 5%


in that it allows for differential strains within a single cell culture chamber, thereby limiting variation in the cell culture environment of the chondrocytes. However, one precaution is the local strain values measured in the present study represent surface strains, because the strains on the interior of the sponge in the end region could not be determined. Furthermore, there is not necessarily a distinct transition from an area of high strain to an area of low strain within the sponge scaffold.

To overcome this shortcoming, we tested sponges subjected to different overall strain magnitudes. Type X collagen mRNA was quantified and compared from the central regions of the sponges that experienced relatively constant local strains (1/2 of the overall strain). We show that only the center region sample subjected[caption id="attachment_74579” align="aligncenter” width="1000”]

The first annual Somali Cultural Festival was held Saturday at city hall. It featured a fashion show of traditional clothing, as well as Somali food and music. (Devyn Barrie/OttawaStart.com)[/caption]

There is no runway inside city hall, but with cameras flashing and an attentive audience, it still made for a tidy fashion show.

But the outfits being shown off weren’t the latest from Paris or New York City, to be worn one season and out of style the next.

They were the traditional garb of the Somali people, being given a new life as part of the first annual Somali Cultural Festival on Saturday afternoon.

Traditions tend to fade easily for some Somali Canadian youth living in Ottawa because they are not exposed to them, said Bille Abdalla, youth department


where she takes international studies. She spent the afternoon volunteering for the festival as a photographer.

Although she was born in Yemen, she is a Canadian citizen because one of her parents is a Canadian. The story of many origins is common in the Somali community, she said, and it can lead to split identities.

“A lot of the younger Somalis, they have a Somali identity and a Canadian identity,” she said. “And one of them comes out more.”

Like Mohamed Awil, who was also volunteering on Saturday. He was born in Sweden, moved to the U.K. (long enough to develop a British accent) and now lives in Canada.

Awil said he tries to build a bridge between his cultural background and life in Canada. But that will take time.

“It’s a sense(that) we’re practically westerners,” he said. “But our skin colour says otherwise.”

Re: 6/30 HGTV Star 8 Episode 4 **West Coast Spoilers**

I am surprised - after all the failures for this challenge - that people still volunteer their kitchens. There must be some clause in the contract that says it will be made right. As badly as I would like a re-do on my plain boring kitchen, I think I'd rather continue saving for a little while and pay someone to do it. Guess I'm not much of a gambler!

I don't mind a neutral base as it makes it easier to change your accent color . . . however, the "fleshy" kitchen was lacking something to wake me up in the morning when I came down to fix breakfast and get my day started. *YAWN* Coffee please!

Thus, one of the ways to treat sinusitis is by restoring the lost mucous flow. The initial therapy is drug therapy using anti-inflammatory agents to reduce the inflammation and antibiotics to treat the infection. A large number of patients do not respond to drug therapy. Currently, the gold standard for patients with chronic sinusitis that do not respond to drugthin flexible materials like rubber which are most likely to be inadequate for dilating the bony ostia of the sinus.

The balloon catheters have a stiff hypotube with a fixed pre-set angle that enables them to be pushed into the sinus. In at least some procedures wherein it is desired to position the balloon catheter in the ostium of a paranasal sinus, it is necessary to advance the balloon catheter through complicated or tortuous anatomy in order to properly position the balloon catheter within the desired sinus ostium.

Old men they were, all of them, who clung to power and wealth and the bitter ends of life amid webs of bargain, treachery, and cruel pragmatisms… He knew them well.

Alopecia areata (AA) is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease that targets hair follicles. Collapsed immune privilege in hair follicles may play a crucial part in the pathogenesis of AA[@B1]. Interferon (IFN)-γ secretion is triggered by infection, bacterial superantigens, psycho-emotional stressors, skin microtrauma, or other damage to hair follicles and collapse of the immune privileged state, which is maintained by α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and insulin-like growth factor-I that upregulates major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I expression in hair follicles. Because MHC class I molecules are strongly expressed in AA lesions, CD8^+^ T cells react to autoantigens in the hair follicles[@B2]. In the event that a given individual has pre-existing autoreactive CD8^+^ T cells, which must receive appropriate co-stimulatory signals and receive help from CD4^+^ T

The sections were then washed with washing buffer three times and reacted at 45℃ for 10 minutes with non-immune goat serum to remove binding of non-specific proteins. The following primary antibodies were used: monoclonal mouse anti-human CD4 (NCL-CD4-1F6; Novocastra Laboratories Ltd., Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK), monoclonal mouse antihuman CD8 (NCL-CD8-4B11; Novocastra Laboratories Ltd.), rabbit anti-IFN-γ antibody (sc-8308; Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA), mouse monoclonal anti-TGF-β1 antibody (sc-52893; Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.). The sections were reacted with the antibodies at room temperature for 30 minutes. After washing with buffer solution three times, the sections were reacted with secondary antibody (horse radish peroxidase, DAKO Envision Detection kitrecommended as an independent clinical prognostic factor in AA. Most patients (94.0%, 311/331 patients) were classified as having chronic AA, based on the duration of onset. Patients with chronic AA showed more extensive hair loss and a poorer response to treatment than patients with acute and subacute AA. Chronic AA patient also showed greater histopathology, as define by the Uno and Orecchia classification scheme.

Among the various components contributing to histopathological grades, inflammatory infiltrates can lead to other changes such as destruction of hair follicular structures and perifollicular fibroplasia. Consequently, CD8^+^ T cells as well as CD4^+^ T cells act as central components in the pathogenesis of AA, and our study indicated that CD4^+^ T cells mainly infiltrated the peribulbar area in the dermis and CD8^+^ T cells mainly


Treg cells are involved in the control of Th17 cells. Consequently, the balance of Th17/Treg cells is believed to be important in the control of immunity mediated by Th17 cells[@B11]. Recently, Th17 cells and Th1 cells were proposed to be associated with AA pathogenesis[@B4]. In this study, we found that Th17 cells as well as Th1 cells infiltrated in an admixed pattern in the bulb and bulge areas of AA hair follicles. Th17 and Th1 cells may both play helper roles in AA.

The denser infiltration of Th17 cells than Th1 cells in this study may be explained by the long survival of Th17 cells in chronic inflammation. Acosta-Rodriguez et al.[@B11] showed that Th17 cells, unlike Th1 cells, mediate sustained autoimmune inflammation and are highly resistant to restimulation-induced cellinhibiting expression of autoantigens in the follicular epithelia. TGF-β1 is expressed in the hair bulb in the early anagen period and in the outer root sheath and degenerative epithelial strand in the transition period (anagen to telogen), and inhibits follicular epithelial proliferation, resulting in apoptosis and telogen induction[@B22][@B23]. In this study, TGF-β1 was expressed in the outer root sheath and degenerative epithelial strand in the transition period and also in the fibrous dermal sheath and dermal sheath cells with inflammation. These results suggest that TGF-β1 has an important role in AA pathogenesis in inducing catagen hair and perifollicular fibrosis by modifying the extracellular matrix.

In the normal hair cycle, TGF-β2 is also expressed in the follicular outer root sheath in the anagen period. TGF-β2 is expressed in the hair

sliding movement of the filler, such as cement mortar, relative to the steel bar, wherein such sliding movement is caused by contraction or shrinkage of the filler which takes place after being filled in the holes for reinforcing steel bar insertion. Accordingly, when an outer force acts on the blocks for constructing the retaining wall which are stacked or piled up vertically, the cement mortar which is hardened or solidified in the holes for reinforcing steel bar insertion slide within the holes so the retaining wall structure does not have sufficient rigidity.

In the short term, until I understand lighting issues I have come to the conclusion that using continuous lighting would be the most simple way forward. One issue though is that my continuos lighting lamp is EXTREMELY hot and a fire hazard, so diffusing the light needs to be thought about carefully.

At some point I need to just get on with it and play. Hopefully on a day when I can have everybody out at work/ school and the phone off the hook.

You chose landscape and Snowdonia as the subject for this assignment and immediately recognized the potential limitations in some of the elements. But I don’t this really hindered you at all in any way and you have produced a really good set of images. Many of the examples offer quite subtle interpretations of the colour relationships and that’snot have been the best choice. Simply lifting the exposure would make the image brighter but the background would have been too bright. Here a centre weighted or spot metering might have been better.

For this image I wanted a low key image so took the exposure compensation down 2 stops but still on a matrix setting as I was worried the whites would blow. The image is too dull and flat.

This image was taken ** stops under for a low key effect but to also bring out the highlights. Some additional editing would be needed to enhance this image.

Set during the 1979-80 academic year, Let Me Wear Your Coat offers a poignant, painful and humorous take on an era where concert t-shirts, cut-off jeans and feathered hair were in style, and will strike a chord with not only adults who grew up during that time period, but today's teenagers, as well."geometry associated to each type of places:

1.  the theory of schemes (see [@Gro1]) ensues from Grothendieck’s viewpoint,

3.  Zariski/Huber’s geometry (see [@E-Artin1] and [@Huber1]) ensues from Krull’s viewpoint.

For some number theoretical purposes like the study of functional equations of L-functions, a dense part of the mathematical community tend to say that one should try to

“restore the broken symmetry between archimedean and non-archimedean valuations”

artificially introduced in arithmetic geometry by the theory of abstract algebraic varieties (Weil, 1946) and schemes (Grothendieck, 1960), whose great achievements are now patently limited by this symmetry breaking.

As an illustration of this limitation, one can recall that the functional equation $$\hat{\zeta}(s)=\hat{\zeta}(1-s)$$ of Riemann’s completed zeta function $$\hat{\zeta}(s)=\pi^{-s/2}\Gamma(s/2)\prod_{p}\frac{1}{1-p^{-s}}$$ cannot be studied geometrically without handling the archimedean


It is often supposed, for localization purposes, that $f$ is strictly multiplicative, i.e., $f(ab)=f(a)f(b)$. We will see that this hypothesis is sometimes too restrictive for our purposes.

Definition and examples
-----------------------

A halo is a semiring $A$ whose underlying set is equipped with a partial order $\leq$ which is compatible to its operations: $x\leq z$ and $y\leq t$ implies $xy\leq zt$ and $x+y\leq z+t$. A morphism between two halos is an increasing map $f:A\to B$ which is submultiplicative, i.e.,

-   $f(1)=1$,

-   $f(ab)\leq f(a)f(b)$ for all $a,b\in A$,

and subadditive, i.e.,

-   $f(0)=0$,

-   $f(a+b)\leq f(a)+f(b)$ for all $a,b\in A$.

The category of halos is denoted ${\mathfrak{Halos}}$. A halo morphism is called square-multiplicative (resp. power-multiplicative, resp. multiplicative) if $f(a^2)=f(a)^2$ (resp. $f(a^n)=f(a)^n$, resp. $f(ab)=f(a).f(b)$) for all $a,b\in A$ and $n\in$n\in {\mathbb{N}}$ so that $A$ is non-archimedean.

We will now show that tropical halos and idempotent semirings are related.

A semiring $A$ is called idempotent if $a+a=a$ for all $a\in A$.

Let $A$ be an idempotent semiring. The relation $$a\leq b\Leftrightarrow a+b=b$$ is a partial order relation on $A$ that gives $A$ a halo structure denoted $A_{halo}$. This will be called the natural halo structure of the idempotent semiring.

The semiring ${\mathbb{R}}_{+,trop}$ of positive real numbers with usual multiplication and tropical addition given by $a+_{trop}b=\max(a,b)$ is an idempotent semiring which is tropical. The semiring ${\mathbb{R}}_{+,trop}[X]$ of polynomials is idempotent but not tropical because $X$ and $1$ cannot be compared in it: $X+1\neq X$ and $X+1\neq 1$.

Let $K$ be a tropical halo and $S$ be a set. Then the polynomial semiring $K[S]$ is


maps. $$\xymatrix{
            &{\mathrm{Spev}}(A)\ar[d]\ar[r]& {\mathrm{Speh}}^{pm}(A)\ar[d]&\\
{\mathcal{M}}(A)\ar[r]    & {\mathrm{Speh}}^m(A) \ar[r]     & {\mathrm{Speh}}^{pasm}(A)}$$

The spaces ${\mathrm{Speh}}^m(A)$ and ${\mathrm{Speh}}^{pm}(A)$ are defined by quantifying on integers (because of the temperation and power-multiplicativity hypothesis). The spaces ${\mathrm{Speh}}^{pasm}(A)$ and ${\mathrm{Spev}}(A)$ have the advantage of being defined in the setting of first order logic. This makes them quite well adapted to model theoretic methods. Unfortunately, we are not able to use them directly to define analytic spaces.

Comparison with Huber’s retraction procedure {#huber}
--------------------------------------------

Roland Huber explained to us the following results, which are of great interest for our study. He also kindly authorized us to include his original ideas in our article, ideas which are completely from his own mind, and aretopology on $K$ and is separated. Suppose now that for all $|a|>0$, there exists $|a'|$ such that $0<|a'|<|a|$. Let $b,c\in K$ be such that $|b|>0$ and $|c|>0$. Applying the hypothesis to $|b/a|=|b|/|a|$, we show that there exists $d\in K$ such that $|d|<|b/a|$, i.e. $0<|d|.|a|<|b|$. This implies the second condition for $|.|$ to have tiny balls. Now remark that by hypothesis, there exists $u\in K$ such that $|u|>2$. Let $a'\in K$ be such that $0<|a'|<|a|$. Then if we let $d=a/u$, we have $|d|+|d|\leq \frac{|a'|}{2}+\frac{|a'|}{2}=|a'|<|a|$. This is the second condition for $|.|$ to have tiny balls. By Remarks \[simpler-condition-tiny-3\] and \[simpler-condition-tiny-4\], since $|.|$ is multiplicative, we have proved that $|.|$ has tiny balls and this implies that $|.|$ induces a ring topology on $A$. Since $|.|$ is multiplicative, its kernel


Proposition \[multiplicative-tiny\], the field $A_{({\mathfrak{p}})}/{\mathfrak{p}}={\mathrm{Frac}}(A/{\mathfrak{p}})$ is separated for the topology induced by $|.|$ and it is equal to the separated quotient of $A_{({\mathfrak{p}})}$. We also know that the extension $|.|:{\mathrm{Frac}}(A/{\mathfrak{p}})\to R$ has tiny balls so that its completion is well defined. It is equal to the multiplicative completion of $A$ for $|.|$.

The functoriality issue for multiplicative completions {#functoriality-issue}
------------------------------------------------------

Let $f:B\to A$ be a ring morphism and $|.|:A\to R$ be a seminorm. We will now give conditions that ensure that $f$ induces a morphism $$f:{\mathcal{A}}(|f(.)|)\to {\mathcal{A}}(|.|)$$ between the multiplicative completions of $|f(.)|:B\to R$ and $|.|:A\to R$.

Remark that the set of multiplicative elements (see Definition \[definition-multiplicative\]) for a seminorm is not functorial in ring morphisms meaning that if $f:B\to A$ is a ring morphism and $|.|:A\to R$ is a seminorm, thenby $$|\sum_{i=i_{0}}^na_{i}T^i|_{2,0}=(e^{-i_{0}},|a_{i_{0}}|_{p})$$ for $a_{i_{0}}\neq 0$, then the natural morphism $${{\mathbb{Q}}}\to {{\mathbb{Q}}}(T)\to R$$ does not induce a topological ring homomorphism from ${{\mathbb{Q}}}_{p}$ to the completion of ${{\mathbb{Q}}}(T)$. Indeed, the inverse image of $B(0,|T|)$ in ${{\mathbb{Q}}}$ by the inclusion ${{\mathbb{Q}}}\to {{\mathbb{Q}}}(T)$ is $\{0\}$ and it is not open in ${{\mathbb{Q}}}$ for the $p$-adic topology. In fact, the completion of ${{\mathbb{Q}}}(T)$ for $|.|_{2,0}$ only depends on the $T$-adic valuation $|P|_{0}=e^{-i_{0}}$ and it gives ${{\mathbb{Q}}}((T))$. We thus need a more general notion of “completion” that is functorial with respect to sequences $$A\overset{f}{\to} B\overset{|.|}{\to} R$$ with $f:A\to B$ a ring homomorphism and $|.|:B\to R$ a reasonable seminorm on $B$.

\[local-numbers\] Let’s translate the above remark in terms of numbers. The notion of local number (or element of a completion) is not functorial in ring


for a given $\gamma_{M}\in{{\mathbb{Q}}}^*$ associated to $M$. This means that the corresponding topology on ${{\mathbb{Q}}}_{p}(T)$ is coarser than the Gauss norm topology. The topology on rational functions on a given open rational domain $R$ of ${\mathrm{Spev}}^p({\mathbb{Z}}[T])$ thus only depends on the compact subsets of the corresponding rational domain $R'$ of ${\mathbb{A}}^{1,ber}_{{{\mathbb{Q}}}_{p}}$. Making $R'$ smaller, one can identify this topology with the topology of uniform convergence on $R'$.

Another approach to analytic functions {#analytic-functions-affine-line}
======================================

The functoriality issue for residue fields alluded to in Section \[functoriality-issue\] is quite problematic. This is mainly due to the fact that the notion of completion we use is not really adapted to higher rank valuations. Our desire to use non-${\mathbb{R}}_{+}$-valued valuations in analytic geometry is mainly due to the fact that these cannot be studied byexpression of alpha-SMA also increased significantly. Compared with model rats, the liver function, lipid peroxidation parameters, Hyp content and liver histology were all improved in the 3 treatment groups. The combined group is better than any single-use group in decreasing collagen deposition and expression of alpha-SMA. Fuzheng Huayu recipe, Huangqi tang, Fuzheng Huayu recipe combined with Huangqi tang can attenuate liver fibrosis in DMN induced rats. Fuzheng Huayu recipe combined with Huangqi tang is better than that using alone in decreasing collagen deposition. The mechanism is partially due to the better effect of Fuzheng Huayu recipe combined with Huangqi tang on inhibiting activated HSC.


or so. The prices
were quite reasonable for such homes (and if we'd thought ahead of time we
probably could have coordinated with other friends of ours who were going to
the wedding) but we don't need all that space for the two of us, so in the end
we just got a hotel room. But last time we went to Nashville we were staying
in the city and AirBnB was significantly cheaper for a one-bedroom apartment
than a hotel room would have been.

atwebb
Nashville's weird at the moment, hotel rooms are sky-high some weekends.
You're less likely to have living circumstances that allow a single room to be
rented out in the burbs as well. In town, it's a lot more common for a loft or
extra room to be available. Could be all the AirBnb Hotelierswhole apartment makes the difference even bigger. Apart from the price,
having access to a kitchen is a huge plus to me because I do not want to spend
on eating out all the time. Eating out is much more expensive than cooking at
home (not only in NYC). This should be taken into account too while doing the
price comparison.

~~~
mlrtime
I would argue that for one person it is cheaper to eat out in NYC if you know
where to look. The numbers change once you start cooking in advance (meal
planning) or cooking for more than one person.

~~~
goldbrick
You are absolutely correct. Not only are groceries disproportionately
expensive in NY, economies of scale kick in, as well as intense competition in
an already low-margin industry drive the price down for restaurants. A high-
quality and tasty meal


wouldn't have passed muster at most
restaurants.

~~~
nadezhda18
the initial discussion was about the price not the fanciness of food

And this is one of the main reasons to buy your own food - you have a choice
of what to buy! While eating out, your choice is much smaller.

You pay for some extras you may not like but you cannot remove it from the
menu. Even if you can - would it affect the price? I doubt so.

Composing my own meal gives me the flexibility of choosing only the things I
like + saving money.

On the top of that, the nice extras like tea/coffee/dessert/fruits come with
increased margins.

Especially fruits due to their short shelf life in cut form.

Let's look at the following example; though it does not involve the restaurant
prices, I still think it isin SF,
those fees must be considered as well.

I can't see the images/charts since the site is down and I am reading the
cache, but this analysis seems a bit suspicious to me. They are comparing AB&B
prices without taxes and fees (and website + cleaning fees can be quite
expensive) to hotel prices with taxes. The conclusion is that AB&B is more
expensive, but I suspect if the additional fees were factored in, the
difference would be even greater.

For me, depends on the length of stay.

If you book Airbnb for a month, it's usually around the same price as a 2 week
stay, and the nightly rate cannot be touched by hotels, particularly for the
size and location.

I don't deny you can get cheaper hotels rooms than airbnb rooms. nonetheless,
I have visited Japan, US, Caribbean and in many cases the airbnb proposal is
way better for the same money.

Benefits of Massage to Fibromyalgia Sufferers

Research has proved that people who suffer from migraines and hypertension are benefited by massage therapy, as it lowers the blood pressure and helps in increasing endorphins, which are natural pain killers reducing the pain felt by the individual. There are plenty of benefits of massage therapy like promoting easier breathing, healing injured joints, relieving tension, giving the person a better posture, improving the immune system and controls pain etc. The tense muscles that are stiff cause the pain and usually lack oxygen, as the tautness reduces the blood flow to that area.

Medical massage therapy is recognized as a health care provision under rehabilitation outpatient coverage under most major medical plans. Specific plan coverage’s vary according to the benefit package your plan and/or employer offer. Medicalassistance to local and international NGOs who in turn give technical assistance in developing countries.  Although USAID formerly provided loans, all financial assistance is now provided in the form of nonreimbursable grants.

In recent years, the USG has increased its emphasis on financial rather than technical assistance.  In 2004, the Bush Administration created the Millennium Challenge Corporation as a new foreign aid agency that is mainly restricted to providing financial assistance. In 2009, the Obama Administration initiated a major realignment of USAID's own programs to emphasize financial assistance, referring to it as "government-to-government" or "G2G" assistance.

Organization

USAID is organized around country development programs managed by resident USAID offices in developing countries ("USAID missions"), supported by USAID's global headquarters in Washington, DC.

Country development programs
USAID plans its work in each


country around an individual country development program managed by a resident office called a "mission."  The USAID mission and its U.S. staff are guests in the country, with a status that is usually defined by a "framework bilateral agreement" between the USG and the host government. Framework bilaterals give the mission and its U.S. staff privileges similar to (but not necessarily the same as) those accorded to the U.S. embassy and diplomats by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961.

USAID missions work in over fifty countries, consulting with their governments and non-governmental organizations to identify programs that will receive USAID's assistance. As part of this process, USAID missions conduct socioeconomic analysis, discuss projects with host-country leaders, design assistance to those projects, award contracts and grants, administerlibraries overseas.  Although the law authorized the President to abolish USAID, President Clinton did not exercise this option.

In 2003, President Bush established PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, putting USAID's HIV/AIDS programs under the direction of the State Department's new Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator.

In 2004, the Bush Administration created the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) as a new foreign aid agency to provide financial assistance to a limited number of countries selected for good performance in socioeconomic development.  The MCC also finances some USAID-administered development assistance projects.

David Price’s Constantly Adjusting Pitching Approach

[Ed: Mike Fast is one of the best graphers and conveyors of pitchfx knowledge around. I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s snatched up by a team sooner than later, a la Josh Kalk, but maybe not for a while longer in the public’s best interest. Please show Mike your appreciation by checking out his work at The Hardball Times as well as adding him on Twitter @fastballs.)

When David Price was chosen by the Tampa Bay Rays with the first overall pick of the 2007 amateur draft, it probably would not have surprised fans to find him as one of the best pitchers in the American League in the 2010 season. In between, however, has been an interesting journey


to August 4, 2010. His average speed on this pitch was about 87.4 mph, or almost eight mph slower than his four-seam fastball. That’s almost a changeup speed differential, and I might have called it a changeup were it not for an even slower offspeed pitch type thrown by Price, which we will discuss in a moment. His splitter gets about five inches of hop and nine inches of tail, fairly similar to his two-seamer. During the time period where this was his main sinking offspeed pitch, May to July, he threw it 15 percent of the time to right-handed batters and rarely, if ever, to lefties. (I counted two such instances.) I’ve looked for game photos of his splitter grip from games in the May 12 toto the $K$ level splitting at low $K$. As a consequence, the origins of the $b$-type rotational transitions (with $\Delta K = 1$) differ considerably from those expected for an asymmetric top rotor. In contrast, the patterns of the $a$-type rotational transitions (with $\Delta K = 0$) resemble those of an asymmetric top in the absence of perturbations; this applies even to excited torsional states. The first excited torsional state straddles the barrier to internal rotation, and even higher torsional states display a $K$-level structure that increasingly approaches that of a free internal rotor.

We have used rotational transitions of $^{13}$CH$_3$OH initially to infer the column density of methanol because of frequent saturation of lines pertaining to the main isotopic species. The spectroscopic line data were taken from the


a correction of the column density because of the population of vibrational states is not required.

We used the CDMS entry to evaluate the column density of CH$_3^{18}$OH. The entry is based on @18O-MeOH_rot_2007 with extensive far-infrared data from that work. Most of the rest frequencies determined with microwave accuracy are from @18O-MeOH_rot_1996 and from @18O-MeOH_rot_1998. The dipole moment components are slightly different from those of the main species and were taken from @18O-MeOH_dip_1996. As for $^{13}$CH$_3$OH, vibrational corrections to the partition function at 160 K are not needed.

We used the JPL catalog[^2] [@JPL-catalog_1998] entry to estimate the CH$_3$OH column density because we expect to observe highly rotationally or torsionally excited CH$_3$OH transitions with line widths much wider than in dark clouds. The entry is based on the extensive studyt} = 3$ and higher vibrational states of methanol [@MeOH_vt3_2009; @MeOH_high-v_2015].

Methanethiol, CH$_3$SH {#lab_MeSH}
----------------------

Replacing the O atom in methanol with an S atom yields methanethiol, reducing the moment of inertia ratio between the CH$_3$ group and the SH frame compared to the OH frame in methanol. Overall, the torsional splitting in CH$_3$SH is smaller than that in CH$_3$OH. The splittings in the first excited torsional state of CH$_3$SH are similar to the ones in the ground vibrational state of CH$_3$OH.

Information on rest frequencies were taken from the CDMS. The entry is based on @MeSH_rot_2012. Extensive terahertz and far-IR data were combined with previous data, which include data in the range of our survey from @MeSH_rot_1980 with additional data mainly from @MeSH_rot_1986 and @MeSH_rot_1999. Dipole moment components of $|\mu_a| =


that either parameter can be included in the fit without the other, whereas otherwise two distortion parameters are usually included in the fit, one for each state. We used Watson’s $S$ reduction of the rotational Hamiltonian because it is more appropriate for asymmetric top rotors so close to the prolate case; $\kappa = (2B - A - C)/(A - C) \approx -0.95$, close to the limiting case of $-$1. We employed in our first fits only the rotational and quartic distortion parameters, as well as $E$ and $F_{bc}$. The last was expected to be very important as it connects the upper asymmetry component of *gauche*$^+$ with the lower asymmetry component of *gauche*$^-$ with the same $J$ and $K_a$. The largest perturbations are expected if the asymmetry splitting is

The experimental transition frequencies of the *gauche* conformers of the parent and $^{34}$S species of ethanethiol have been reproduced to 39.6 kHz and 38.1 kHz, respectively, about the same as in @EtSH_lab_Orion-KL_2014, where the rms values were 39 kHz and 41 kHz. However, we only required 34 parameters for the parent species whereas @EtSH_lab_Orion-KL_2014 used 41. In the case of the $^{34}$S isotopic species, 16 versus 19 parameters were floated. Therefore, we expect our parameters to describe the rotational spectrum better. Predictions much beyond the covered quantum number range ($J \le 88$, $K_a \le 25$ for the parent species) should be viewed with caution. Such


with the observed spectrum, we consider this state as tentatively detected and we include it in the full model (Fig. \[f:spec\_ch3sh\_ve1\]). The fits to the integrated intensity maps of the detected ground state lines yield a source size of $\sim$1.4$''$. The fit to the population diagram including both states is not well constrained ($T_{\rm rot} = 210 \pm 50$ K, Table \[t:popfit\] and Fig. \[f:popdiag\_ch3sh\]). This fit is dominated by the more numerous lines in the vibrational ground state and tends to overestimate the intensities of the lines in the first vibrationally excited state. To avoid this overestimate when modeling the spectrum, we use a lower temperature of 180 K, still consistent with the fit result above. With this source size and temperature, the emission is optically thin ($\tau_{\rm max} = 0.3$). Thechemical models presented here include new reactions for the formation and destruction of methanethiol and ethanethiol. This represents a step forward in the complexity of sulfur chemistry that can be treated with astrochemical models. The results indicate that adequate abundances of both alkanethiols may be formed in hot cores through dust-grain surface/ice-mantle chemistry. Methanethiol is formed at the low temperatures achieved during cold core collapse (on the order 10 K). Ethanethiol is produced on the grains at elevated temperatures ($\sim$45$-$55 K), with most of the surface H$_2$S at those temperatures being converted almost entirely to ethanethiol. The modeled gas-phase ratio CH$_3$SH/C$_2$H$_5$SH $\simeq$ 3 is substantially lower than the observed value of $>21$. The strongest influence on this ratio is likely the underprediction of CH$_3$SH (in comparison to CH$_3$OH), although the efficient

When the chairs wobbled,
the coal and the pillows kept falling about; it was quite a real
avalanche,' Sara said conversationally.

'I should think so,' agreed the guest.

'Yes; and it was glorious when Sara excaped to the top of the wardrobe.'

'To the w----' Miss Levering gasped.

'Yes. We were having the most perfectly fascinating time----' Sara took
up the tale.

But Cecil suddenly sat bolt upright, his little face quite pink with
excitement at recollection of these Alpine exploits.

'Yes, Sara had come down off the wardrobe--she'd been sitting on the
carved piece--she says that's the Schreckhorn!--but she'd come down off
it, and we was just jumping about all those mountains like two
shamrocks----'

'Like what?'

'--when _she_ came in.'

'Yes,' agreed Sara. 'Just when we're happiest _she_ always comes
interfiddling.'

'Oh, Sara mine, I rather like you!' said Miss Levering, laying her
laughing faceGo 'way!' protested Sara, pushing him with hands and feet.

'Sh! You really will have nurse back!'

That horrid thought coerced the prudent Sara to endurance of the
interloping brother. And now of his own accord Cecil had taken his arms
from round his friend's neck.

'That's horrid!' he said. 'I don't like that hard thing. Take it off.'

'Let me.' Sara sat up with alacrity. 'Let me.'

But Miss Levering undid the sapphire necklace herself. 'If you'll be
very careful, Sara, I'll let you hold it.' It was as if she well knew
the deft little hands she had delivered the ornament to, and knew
equally well that in her present mood, absorption in the beauty of it
would keep the woman-child still.

'There, that's better!' Cecil replaced his arms firmly where the
necklace had been.

Unavoidable as it was in a way that Mrs. Graham Townley
should be taken down to dinner by the new minister--nevertheless the
antidote had been cleverly provided for. 'Freddy dear--why, I thought he
was---- Oh, there he is!' Seeing her hungry husband safely anchored in
front of the iris gown, instantly she abandoned the idea of disturbing
him. 'After all,' she said, turning again to Haycroft, who had stood the
image of stolid unimpressionableness--'after all, Freddy's right. Since
she's going to sit beside you at dinner, it's a good reason for not
making you known to each other before. Or perhaps you never experience
that awful feeling of being talked out by the time you go down, and not
having a single thing left----' She saw that the great man was not going
to vouchsafe any contribution to herone looking forward to
her _tete-a-tete_ with the man who had brought her down. But Lord
Borrodaile was a person most women liked talking to, and hardly had she
begun to relish that combination in the man of careless pleasantry and
pungent criticism, when Vida caught an agonized glance from her hostess,
which said plainly, 'Rescue the man on your right,'--and lo! Miss
Levering became aware that already, before the poor jaded politician had
swallowed his soup, Mrs. Townley had fallen to catechising him about the
new Bill--a theme talked threadbare by newspaperdom and all political
England. But Mrs. Townley, albeit not exactly old, was one of those
old-fashioned women who take what used to be called 'an intelligent
interest in politics.' You may pick her out in any drawing-room from the
fact that politicians shun her like the plague.

'My cousin has her own house to keep, and she's got a young baby.'

'About the beads?'

'About the market gardener. And the way his house is--Ever since we came

let her make him cry by taking them away)--ever since then my cousin

'What would I understand?'

Wark laid her hand on the nearest of the shining bars of brass,yourself. But it does fill me with a
kind of rage to see some of those smug Settlement workers, the people
that plume themselves on leaving luxurious homes. They don't say how
hideously bored they were in them. They are perfectly enchanted at the
excitement and importance they get out of going to live among the poor,
who don't want them----'

'Oh, my dear Vida!'

'Not a little bit! Well, the _wily_ paupers do, perhaps, for what they
can get out of our sort.'

Mrs. Fox-Moore cast down her eyes as though convicted by the
recollection of some concrete example.

'We're only scratching at the surface,' Vida, said--'such an ugly
surface, too! And the more we scratch, the uglier things come to light.'

Labour. We are for Women. When we get the sex bar removed, it will be
time for us to sort ourselves into parties. At present we are united
against any Government that continues to ignore its duty to the women of
the country. In the past we were so confiding that when a candidate said
he was in favour of Woman's Suffrage (he was usually a Liberal), we
worked like slaves to get that man elected, so that a voice might be
raised for women's interests in the next Parliament. Again and again the
man we worked for got in. But the voice that was to speak for us--that
voice was mute. We had served his purpose in helping him to win his
seat, and we found ourselves invariably forgotten or ignored. The
Conservatives have never shown thefor years. It was even doing the other thing. Yes, it was
going backward. Even the miserable little pettifogging share women had
had in Urban and Borough Councils--even that they were deprived of. And
they were tamely submitting! Women who had been splendid workers ten
years ago, women with the best capacities for public service, had fallen
into a kind of apathy. They were utterly disheartened. Many had given up
the struggle. That was the state of affairs with regard to Woman's
Suffrage only a few short months ago. We looked at the Suffragists who
had grown grey in petitioning Parliament and being constitutional and
"ladylike," and we said, "_That's no good._"'

Through roars of laughter and indistinguishable denunciation certain
fragments rose clear--

'So you tried being a public nuisance!'

'A laughing-stock!'

'When we got to the place where we were a


or a saint.'

'It wouldn't for me,' said Jean.

'Oh, you see, you're so Scotch.'

He was incorrigible!

'I didn't hear, who is the man?' Jean asked, as those not knowing
usually did.

Although far from distinguished in appearance, Mr. Greatorex would have
stood in no danger of being overlooked, even if he had not those
twinkling jewel-like eyes, and two strands of coal-black hair trained
across his large bumpy cranium, from the left ear to the right, and
securely pasted there.

'It's that wretched radical, St. John Greatorex.' Mrs. Heriot turned
from her niece to Lord Borrodaile. 'What foundation is there,' she
demanded, 'for the rumour that he tells such good stories at dinner? _I_
never heard any.'

'Ah, I believe he keeps them till the ladies have left the room.'

'You don't like him, either,' said Mrs. Heriot, reaching out for the
balm'Then dozens of hands darting out to help her to recover her
precious property! After the chair had been returned the crowd thinned,
and I crossed over to her.'

'You in that _melee_!' Borrodaile ejaculated. 'Well, Ernestine hadn't
the quaintness all to herself.'

'No. Oh, no,' Vida agreed. 'I thought of you, and how you'd look if you
had come on us suddenly. After the crowd had melted and the helpers had
vanished into the night, we went on together--all the way, from the
Battersea Fire Station to Sloane Square, did Ernestine and I walk,
talking reform last night. You laugh? So do I; but not at Ernestine.
She's a most wonderful person. I sometimes ask myself if the world will
ever know half how wonderful. You, for instance, you haven't, after all
I've said, you haven't _an idea_!'

an ominous sparkle
in her eye--'to listen to men speakers clever or dull--we listen quietly
enough. But men!--a person must be of your own sex for you to be able
to regard him without distraction. If the woman is beautiful enough, you
are intoxicated. If she's plain enough, you are impatient. All you see
in any woman is her sex. You can't _listen_.'

'Whew!' remarked Borrodaile.

'But _I_ must listen--I haven't got over being ashamed to find how much
this girl can teach me.'

'I'm sorry for you that any of Miss Scammell's interesting speech was
lost,' the chairman was saying. 'She was telling you just the kind of
thing that you men ought to know, the kind of thing you get little
chance of knowing about from men. Yet those wretched girls who die young
of lead-poisoning, or live longXV

She did not look round when Dick Farnborough ran in from the garden,
saying: '_Is_ it--is it really?' For just then on the opposite side of
the great hall, the centre of a little buzz of welcome, Stonor's tall
figure appeared between host and hostess.

'What luck!' Farnborough said under his breath.

He hurried back and faced the rest of the party who were clustered
outside the window trying to look unconcerned.

'Yes, by Jove!' he set their incredulity at rest. 'It _is_!'

Discreetly they glanced and craned and then elaborately turned their
backs, pretending to be talking among themselves. But, as though the
girl standing there expectant in the middle of the hall were well aware
of the enormous sensation the new arrival had created, she herself
contributed nothing to it. Stonor came forward, and she met him with


All the same,' she went on, with her unfailing good humour,
'it's frightfully exciting seeing the Question come into practical
politics at last. I only hope those women won't go and upset the
apple-cart again.'

'How?'

'Oh, by doing something that will alienate all our good friends in both
parties. It's queer they can't see our only chance to get what we want
is by winning over the men.'

There was a low sound of impatience from the person at the
writing-table, and a rustle of paper as the plan was thrown down.

'What's the matter?' said Mrs. Freddy.

'"Winning over the men" has been the woman's way since the Creation. Do
you think the result should make us proud of our policy? Yes? Then go
and walk in Piccadilly at midnight.'

Lady John and Mrs. Heriot rose as one, while Misstone of exquisite contempt, 'But wot's politics!' she
demanded. 'It's just 'ousekeepin' on a big scyle.' Somebody applauded.
'Oo among you workin' men 'as the most comfortable 'omes? Those of you

'That's it! That's it!' they roared with passion.

'Wantin' our money.'

'That's all this agitation's about.'

'Listen to me!' She came close to the edge of the plinth. 'If it wus
only to use fur _our_ comfort, d'ye think many o' you workin' men would
be found turnin' over their wyges to their wives? No! Wot's the reason
thousands do--and the best and the soberest? Because the workin' man

the least discomposed.

'I've been addressin' a big meetin' at 'Ammersmith this morning, and
w'en I told 'em I wus comin' 'ere this awfternoon to speak fur the
women--well--then the usual thing began.'

An appreciative roar rose from the crowd.

'Yes,' he grinned, 'if you want peace and quiet at a public meetin',
better not go mentionin' the lydies these times!'

He stopped, and the crowd filled in the hiatus with laughter.

'There wus a man at 'Ammersmith, too, talkin' about Woman's sphere bein'
'Ome. 'Ome do you call it? _'Ome!_' and at the word his _bonhomie_
suffered a singular eclipse. ''Ome!' he bellowed, as if some one had
struck him in a vital spot, and the word was merelythe manners of a handful? Perhaps
that's men's notion of justice. It isn't ours.'

'Haw! haw!'

'Yes'--Miss Levering plucked up courage, seeing her friend sailing along
so safely. 'This is the first time I've ever "gone on," as you call it,
but they never gave me a vote.'

'_No_,' says Miss Ernestine, with energy--'and there are'--she turned
briskly, with forefinger uplifted punctuating her count--'there are two,
three, four women on this platform. Now, we all want the vote, as you
know.'

'Lord, yes, we know _that_.'

'Well, we'd agree to be disfranchised all our lives if they'd give the
vote to all the other women.'

'Look here! You made one speech--give the lady a chance.'

Miss Blunt made a smiling little bob of triumph. 'That's just what I
wanted you to say!' And she retired.

Miss Levering came forward again. But the call to


'go on' had come a
little suddenly.

'Perhaps you--you don't know--you don't know----'

'_How_'re we going to know if you can't tell us?' demanded a sarcastic
voice.

It steadied her. 'Thank you for that,' she said, smiling. 'We couldn't
have a better motto. How _are_ you to know if we can't somehow manage to
tell you?' With a visible effort she went on, 'Well, _I_ certainly
didn't know before that the sergeants and policemen are instructed to
deceive the people as to the time such cases are heard.'

'It's just as hard,' said a bystander to his companion, '_just_ as hard
for learned counsel in the august quiet of the Chancery Division to find
out when their cases are really coming on.'

'You ask, and you're sent to Marlborough Police Court,' said Miss

This is in contrast to the 10 airlines that operate domestic scheduled services in India, today. While Indian carriers flew 81 million domestic passengers in calendar year 2015 (CY2015), Indian carriers flew only 18 million passengers in the same period.

Only two airlines/airline groups operate short, medium and long haul international services: Air India and Jet Airways. Both airlines have diverse fleets: from short haul domestic ATR 72 turboprops to long haul international Boeing 777s. The LCCs in contrast have narrowbody jets that can cater only to short haul international services.

Plaintiff argues that the trial court erred in denying her motion for an award of attorney fees pursuant to N.C. Gen.Stat. § 6-21.1 (1997), which provides that
[i]n any personal injury or property damage suit, or suit against an insurance company under a policy issued by the defendant insurance company and in which the insured or beneficiary is the plaintiff, upon a finding by the court that there was an unwarranted refusal by the defendant insurance company to pay the claim which constitutes the basis of such suit, instituted in a court of record, where the judgment for recovery of damages is ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, the presiding judge may,award was substantially less than the offered judgment, I'm going to exercise my discretion and DENY counsel's request for attorney fees.
This Court has recently held that in exercising its discretion, the trial court should consider all the circumstances of the case, which include offers of settlement made by the opposing party, and the timing of those *339 offers. See Washington v. Horton, 132 N.C.App. 347, 350-51, 513 S.E.2d 331, 334 (1999). Here, a substantial offer of judgment was made well before trial, and that offer was increased through negotiations to the sum of $4,750.00. The amounts offered in settlement were more than four times the amount recovered by the plaintiff at trial. We hold that under these circumstances the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying


not accepted within 10 days after its service shall be deemed withdrawn and evidence of the offer is not admissible except in a proceeding to determine costs. If the judgment finally obtained by the offeree is not more favorable than the offer, the offeree must pay the costs incurred after the making of the offer.
Id. (1990) (emphasis added). "The purpose of Rule 68 is to encourage settlements and avoid protracted litigation. The offer operates to save the defendant the costs from the time of that offer if the plaintiff ultimately obtains a judgment for less than the sum offered." Scallon v. Hooper, 58 N.C.App. 551, 554, 293 S.E.2d 843, 844, disc. review denied, 306 N.C. 744, 295 S.E.2d 480 (1982). Defendants made an offer of judgment to plaintiffin the case.

The judge's charge to the jury is taken from the Pattern Jury Instructions on expert witness testimony. N.C.P.I. Civil 101.25. With regard to jury instructions, this Court

Your intuition is not all that wrong, but it’s not entirely correct either.

Number Theory is basically the exploration of the deep consequences of a set
of (ultimately arbitrary but apparently obvious) axioms. The exploration of
those consequences arises from the fact that they are ultimately too
plentiful, ramified, and incompletely provable (per Godel’s Incompleteness
Theorems & Turing’s Halting Problem).

Isn't that true for all fields of pure math?

Almost all fields of pure math use a much stronger set of axioms called ZF and
essentially everyone also accepts the axiom of choice (making it ZFC). The
axioms in ZF are reasonable but the axiom of choice is surprisingly
controversial for an axiom. There are someare a negligible
fraction of integers (asymptotically). I think twin primes are conjectured to
be distributed as n / (log n) ^2, while primes are n / (log n).

Besides, even if (p, p + 6) is significantly more common than (p, p + 2), if
the final digit of p is uniformly distributed among 1, 3, 7, and 9, I don't
think the statistics as a whole are affected.

team, to make it GOP versus Democrats. It's not. It is the United States of America versus people who are a country trying to destroy our democracy, break up the western alliance, and in the process Fox News is saying, 'Don't worry about the Russians, don't worry about people trying to attack democracy, let's attack instead the intelligence agencies giving us these conclusions, let's pretend the Democrats are involved, and let's return to tax cuts.'

"It's obscene. It is propaganda, and it has to stop. The Republican party -- which unfortunately Jennifer Rubin, conservative, wrote this morning, is in opposition to reality. The Republican party has to take over and decide whether or not they're going to allow the propaganda to drive democracy, or side with America and help= "(sem pontos)";

Running our stackato.exe in a loop, simply asking for information from

14-28 iterations, with about 14 iterations per minute, so within 1 to

After activating the --debug-http-log it is not hanging itself within
10 minutes anymore. As that option only activates more output, i.e.

Sorry about thenecrotizing agent has been associated with significant lethal side effects limiting the applicability of TNF-α administration to patients \[[@CR15]\]. On the other side, TNF-α activates NFKB transcription factor along with JNK and p38 in a cellular context-dependent manner \[[@CR16]\]. This canonical pathway induces the expression of several downstream targets of NFKB leading to the increased invasiveness of cancer cells. A different approach that has attracted a great of attention is the use of TNF-α inhibitors, such as Etanercept, as candidates for cancer biotherapy \[[@CR17]\].

Etanercept is a dimeric soluble receptor for TNF-α, which competes with the cell surface receptors For TNF binding. A phase II clinical trial evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of Etanercept in patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer revealed a reduction in the concentration of TNF-α related


in Ukraine, continues to be a stalwart supporter of Ukraine's development as an independent, democratic and market-oriented state. There is a genuine desire in the United States for Ukraine to succeed in this process and for the long-suffering Ukrainian people to fully realize their dreams and aspirations. This resolution, by encouraging fair, open and transparent elections, is a concrete expression of the commitment of the U.S. Congress to the Ukrainian people.

The resolution underscores that an election process and the establishment of a genuinely democratic political system consistent with Ukraine's freely-undertaken OSCE commitments is a prerequisite for Ukraine's full integration into the Western community of nations as an equal member, including into NATO. The October elections will be vital in determining Ukraine's course for years to come and theyelection commissions, and unobstructed access by candidates, political parties, and domestic and international observers to all election procedures, including voting and vote-counting in all areas of the country;

Whereas increasing control and manipulation of the media by national and local officials and others acting at their behest raise grave concerns regarding the commitment of the Ukrainian authorities to free and fair elections;

Whereas efforts by the national authorities to limit access to international broadcasting, including Radio Liberty and the Voice of America, represent an unacceptable infringement on the right of the Ukrainian people to independent information;

Whereas efforts by national and local officials and others acting at their behest to impose obstacles to free assembly, free speech, and a free and fair political campaign have taken place in Donetsk, Sumy, and

according to the paper there isn't much research done into this.
the paper gives no info as to how significant those cellulose-digesting bacteria are to the host's energy balance, which I imagine is what you're really interested in. Is it significant, is it too small to be noticeable, does the host even benefit at all calorie-wise? They don't address that question in the paper.

as follows. Individual seed masks for each hemisphere were placed in the hand knob area of M1 (MNI coordinates (37, −25, 62); (−37, −25, 62)), and each participant used an established semi-automated pipeline. The target masks were basis pontis. The waypoint masks included the posterior limb of the internal capsules and cerebral peduncles. For CST, a mask covering trajectories at the tegmentum pontis was added to the mid-sagittal and basal ganglia exclusion masks as an additional exclusion mask. A total of 50,000 streamlines were sent from M1 to the spinal target masks in the ventral medulla oblongata. Three different thresholds at 0.5%, 1%, and 2% were established for CST output distributions. The average of each tract was calculated for each of the three thresholds by summing all individual


Fracking is a dirty word as far as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is concerned, but those in the oil-and-gas industry warn that life without hydraulic fracturing would be far grubbier.

The American Petroleum Institute drilled down this week on rising Democratic calls to ban fracking on private and public lands, releasing a study Thursday warning that such proposals would have “dire consequences,” including plunging the nation into a recession.

The economic analysis found that a ban on hydraulic fracturing would kill 7.5 million jobs by 2022; slash gross domestic product by $7.1 trillion by 2030, reduce household incomes by $5,400 annually and increase consumer energy bills by $600 a year.

“American families should be shocked to hear proposals from candidates for high office that would ban this transformative technology, which would eraseThe European Robotics Week in 2016 took place from 18 to 22 November in several countries including The Netherlands, Austria, Lithuania, Norway, Portugal, Serbia and many more. This event has been occurring since 2011 to spread public awareness of robotics applications and brings together industry, researchers and policymakers. The central event this year was held in Amsterdam. I attended one of the 5 days of activities in the Maritime Museum. The theme was ‘Robots at your service – empowering healthy aging’ which encompassed a variety of activities arranged over the 5 day duration, including debates, open sessions where you could network while interacting with different kinds of robots, workshops for children and a 2 day hackathon. I attended the robot expo and two of the debate sessions which


I will summarise below.

Robot Exhibition

Although it’s clearly still early days for general consumer robotics in terms of the price-value ratio, there are ever more options available for enthusiasts and for very specific applications. The exhibition had a good selection, including these lovely bots:

Panel Discussion: Roboethics

This discussion was about ethics in robotics but it touched a really wide variety of aspects around this, including some philosophy. The speakers were of a very high standard and from a wide variety of backgrounds which gave the discussion its great breadth.

Here are some highlights:

Robots in care – good or bad?

How should robots in care evolve? Robots should be applied to care because the need for care increases as populations in developed countries age, while the labour force interested in care shrinks. Butdesigned around getting people to understand the science, but this thinking must shift. The end users who currently fear and lack understanding must become the center of communication in the future – AI and robotics must enable them and they should have the tools to judge and decide on it’s fate.

Conclusion

This is certainly an exciting time to be alive, as there is so much to still determine and discover in the growth of the AI and Robotics industries and disciplines. Such an event also highlights how far we are from this reality – 10 year horizons were discussed for AI and Robotics to become commodities in our homes. It is very encouraging to see the clear thinking and good intentions that go into making these technologies mainstream. In

Art is difficult to define. But all art involves the Exercise of human skill. A natural object, such as a piece of driftwood, a flower, a bird song, can move us to admire it as beautiful or intriguing or comforting, but it isn't art. Artists (be they photographers, painters, sculptors, actors, musicians, authors or dancers) use their skill to transform natural objects, materials or signs (paint, clay, their own body or voice, the sounds of musical instrument, words) into somethi

John Herbert Kelly was one of the youngest generals to die during the Civil War at age 24.

He was buried in the gardens of the Harrison House just south of Franklin on the day of his death. Local residents bought him a coffin and the new clothing he was buried in, except for the uniform coat which he was wearing when he died. Later in 1866 his body was moved and reburied in the Magnolia Cemetery of Mobile, Alabama.

Also Lo *et al.*\[[@R31]\] reported that TA does not appear to be frequently present in PTC. The authors hypothesized that the increased TA in PTC samples reported in other studies, may be due to the presence of lymphocytic infiltration coexisting with thyroid neoplasia.
