Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are all extremely popular. Virtually no one supports cutting those programs. Adopting milquetoast centrism for money means abandoning potentially election-winning stances, like the increasingly popular Medicare for all, and possibly even espousing severely unpopular ones.

He directs his donations with the frank purpose of purchasing Democratic allegiance for this view. Now, Israel policy may not be all that directly relevant politically, as foreign policy generally doesn't move that many votes (though Democratic voters are increasingly suspicious of Israel).

norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). While there were no redactions within the reports, they were incomplete because certain appendices were missing for all trials (table[](#tbl1){ref-type="table"}). Duloxetine was the only centrally approved product (whereby a single application to the European Medicines Agency can lead to an EU-wide marketing authorisation for a drug),[@ref15] which is why we focused on this drug.

reports for duloxetine from the manufacturer because we could not open the relevant links in their clinical trial registry website ([www.lillytrials.com/](http://www.lillytrials.com/)). We were interested in data on primary efficacy and major harms as they are especially pertinent for assessment of the efficacy and safety of the drug. The data of interest we specified a priori in our protocol were:

-   Primary efficacy analysis:

    1.  Scale, effect size (group means/medians or differences)

    2.  Measure of precision or variability (confidence intervals, standard deviation, or standard error; interquartile range or other range for medians; precise P value)

    3.  Time point, type of analysis, and analysis population (for example, intention to treat, per protocol)

-   Major harms (forthe article reported that four patients in the placebo group discontinued because of adverse events in the randomised phase, while the clinical study report stated it was six patients. The Lilly trial registry reports for both trials were consistent with the clinical study reports (see appendix 2).

Reporting of harms in publicly available sources
------------------------------------------------

Harms were generally poorly reported in journal articles and Lilly trial registry reports.

### Deaths, including suicides

Five deaths (four in the duloxetine group and one in the placebo group) including three suicides (two in the duloxetine group and one in the placebo group) were reported in three clinical study reports. For two of the trials (trials 5 and 9), the journal articles accurately reported the deaths and suicides. There was no journal article for the third trial


limitation of our study is that we looked only at inconsistencies in and completeness of reporting; we did not meta-analyse the clinical study report data to see whether the results were different from meta-analyses based on publicly available data only, but we plan to do this in a larger sample of trials.

Comparisons with other studies
------------------------------

We do not know whether Lilly's failure to publish certain trials as trial reports in journals was because of non-submission of manuscripts or rejection by editors or whether the reason for incomplete data in publications was constraints on word count by journals. We do note, however, that previous research has shown that publication rates for submitted manuscripts with non-significant results are similar to those with significant results.[@ref26] Furthermore, we studied only the primary efficacyarrived at that location less than twenty minutes after receiving the tip, they witnessed a "light-skinned black male in a BMW hat ... place a brown paper bag on some steps and walk away from the bag up the steps toward the street." Id. The officers retrieved the bag and saw that it contained "white rocks." Id. They then stopped the suspect and searched him, finding more bags with white rocks, which tested positive for cocaine. Id. The officers checked the license plates on the BMW that was parked approximately 35 feet from where the defendant was arrested, and found out the car was registered in his name. They then searched the car, retrieving additional bags with white rocks and a razor blade with what was later determined


searching the apartment for only approximately five minutes. Thereafter, the officers searched the apartment for approximately an additional fifty-five minutes. Therefore, at the time they arrested the defendant, the officers had not thoroughly searched the residence and did not know conclusively that the guns and drugs were not somewhere within the apartment, as the informant had told Officer Abdalla. Moreover, the informant did not state that *126 the car was used to transport drugs or a firearm. See United States v. Brown, 616 F.Supp. 1319, 1320 (D.D.C.1985) (holding that officers did not have probable cause to conduct a search of defendant's vehicle where the "reliable informant" merely stated that the defendant was dealing drugs and drove his car, which the informant described, to his mother's house. "There wasThe government argues that the police needed to take and secure the car because it had been "identified as being used by Mr. Holly and Mr. Jones for drug-trafficking purposes ... [and] it was also registered to a third party who was not on the scene" and could not be contacted. Tr. at 24. The government argues that once the officers had taken the vehicle, they would have conducted a routine, post-impoundment inventory search, Gov.'s Mot. at 11-12, and discovered the gun and drugs.
When evidence "would have inevitably been discovered without reference to the police error or misconduct, there is no nexus sufficient to provide a taint and all the evidence is admissible." Nix v. Williams, 467 U.S. 431, 448, 104 S.Ct. 2501, 81 L.Ed.2d 377 (1984). However,


was "identified as being used by Mr. Holly and Mr. Jones for drug-trafficking purposes[,]" the facts, as established by defense counsel on cross-examination revealed that there was never any indication by the informant that the car was used to transport or store narcotics, nor did the officer's report regarding the details provided to him by the informant contain that information. Tr. at 51. Further, nothing observed by the officer confirmed that the car was being used for such purposes.[19]
In any event, the Court concludes that the facts of this case do not support application of the inevitable discovery doctrine. The search warrant regarding the residence makes no mention of the car and the agents "neither obtained an order of forfeiture nor a search warrant prior to conducting thethe Court concluded that the search of the car was justified as "[i]t was not unreasonable to fear [that the defendant] might lunge for the door, open it with the keys, and grab the knife." 187 F.3d at 670.
[17]  During his oral argument, government counsel stated that United States v. Mitchell, 64 F.3d 1105 (7th Cir.1995) was a case "where someone is arrested and removed from the room where" the briefcase he had been holding was searched. Tr. at 127. Mitchell is inapposite to the present case. At the time the defendant in Mitchell was arrested he had been holding an open briefcase which fell to the floor when the officers entered the room. 64 F.3d at 1110. It was "while in the act of arresting [the


Court concludes that the inventory exception to the warrant requirement is not applicable, there is a question whether, once the officers conducted the search of the apartment without any success of finding the gun or drugs, they, at that point, had probable cause to believe that the gun was located in the car, and the drugs and gun recovered from the car would have therefore been inevitably recovered. See Gale, 952 F.2d at 1415 ("probable cause [to arrest suspect] arose seconds later when [defendant] admitted he was engaged in criminal conduct."). Assuming the applicability of the inevitable discovery doctrine to this situation, the Court finds that there was nonetheless no probable cause to search the vehicle at that time. Cf. United States v. Alston, 832 F.Supp. 1, 4(D.D.C. 1993) (holding that evidence would not be suppressed where officers had probable cause to seize vehicle where vehicle was listed as stolen, and the officers would have been obliged to conduct an inventory search of the vehicle, wherein evidence would have been inevitably found). In fact, the warrant application that caused the issuance of a warrant for the car in this case four days after the search of the apartment states that "[w]ithin the past forty-eight hours, [Confidential Source # 1] reports that it has personal knowledge, through associates of Thomas Holley, that secreted inside of the two door, Honda Accord ... are additional firearms ... [that] may be secreted inside the door panels of the vehicle." Thus, the warrant application itself supports the Court's opinion that

Oh, and there was even more. Sinclair scored three times, a near one-woman offense show. The final were two headers.a pilot taking off just to see how a plane flies, but there's much more to testing a plane. So says Darrel Russell, a senior staff engineer in the Flight Test Instrumentation group at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Ft. Worth, TX. This group handles all the flight-test instrumentation for the F-16, F/A-22, and F-35 program at the aerospace company.

Russell explains that test requirements originate from two groups—customers and 'discipline' engineers. Customers—the armed services that buy tactical aircraft-fighters—want to measure specific parameters that will verify the performance of an aircraft to agreed-upon specifications.

On the other hand, discipline engineers cover specific technical areas such as cockpit environment, acoustics, aerodynamic loads, and so on. The environmental engineers, for example, must provide a good operating environment for a pilot. To prove their


equipment, and decoders that convert the PCM signals from the sensors into data expressed in engineering units such as degrees, pounds/in2, and gallons/min.

This information then appears on video strip charts that discipline engineers carefully monitor for unusual results that could indicate a failure or other problems. Each discipline engineer can monitor as many as 16 data channels related to his or her area of interest. Touch-sensitive screens on the monitors let the engineers annotate the recordings for later reference, and engineers also may opt to produce a paper chart of the data.

Because engineers who 'know' the equipment they designed monitor the aircraft's data in real time, they watch for the unexpected. In the event they detect anomalous data as a pilot goes through critical maneuvers, they can immediatelyalert a control engineer and have the pilot stop the maneuver and return to base. Each monitor station includes a removable hard drive, so at the end of a test, engineers can take captured data to a computer for further analysis.

'The digital cameras under the wing let us track exactly what happens in real time, image by image,' says Russell. 'If we see a problem, we can immediately modify or end a test. Before, if a problem arose, the pilot would have to land so we could process and analyze films. Then the pilot might have to make an additional flight based on our analyses.'

The discipline engineers also use cameras in the cockpit to monitor different types of displays undergoing testing, or to see what the test pilot


is doing. If a test involves a live missile test, for example, the engineers want to observe what the missile 'sees' and reports on the pilot's display.

Russell stressed that Lockheed Martin can take its flight testing wherever clients need testing done. A special mobile van can receive telemetry information and retransmit it through a satellite link back to the company's Ft. Worth, TX facility. So to the engineers in Texas, an aircraft undergoing testing in California or over the Gulf of Mexico might just as well be operating locally. Instead of sending engineers and test equipment all around the US for tests, which could take weeks or months, the company now sends the van and two people to run it.

After a test, engineers often need to further analyzeQ:

How to do left outer join exclusion in pandas

I have two dataframes, A and B, and I want to get those in A but not in B, just like the one right below the top left corner.

Dataframe A has columns ['a','b' + others] and B has columns ['a','b' + others]. There are no NaN values. I tried the following:
1.
dfm = dfA.merge(dfB, on=['a','b'])
dfe = dfA[(~dfA['a'].isin(dfm['a']) | (~dfA['b'].isin(dfm['b'])

2.
dfm = dfA.merge(dfB, on=['a','b'])
dfe = dfA[(~dfA['a'].isin(dfm['a']) & (~dfA['b'].isin(dfm['b'])

3.
dfe = dfA[(~dfA['a'].isin(dfB['a']) | (~dfA['b'].isin(dfB['b'])

4.
dfe = dfA[(~dfA['a'].isin(dfB['a']) & (~dfA['b'].isin(dfB['b'])

but when I get len(dfm) and len(dfe), they don't sum up to dfA (it's off by a few numbers). I've tried doing this on dummy cases and #1 works, so maybe my dataset may have some peculiarities I am unable to reproduce.

  affect younger women. Over the years, basal-like breast cancer has become commonly known as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), lacking estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression as well as human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification; however, not all TNBCs are identified as basal-like by gene expression, and not all basal-like tumors are Triple Negative (TN) \[[@R7]\]. Subclassification is necessary to better identify molecular-based therapeutic targets, select biomarkers, discover new drugs, and design clinical trials that will enable alignment of TNBC patients to appropriate targeted therapies. Cost and complexity issues can render gene expression profiling impractical as a routine hospital diagnostic tool, while immunohistochemical (IHC) marker detection is feasible for the majority of institutions.

Nielsen et al (2004) \[[@R8]\] and Carey et al (2006) \[[@R9]\] showed that


TNBCs into two subgroups (high risk and low risk) for which associations among specific clinical features and the four miRNAs were then sought, including outcomes based on specific chemotherapy regimens.

The role of specific chemotherapy agents in the treatment of TNBC remains incompletely defined. Taxanes and anthracyclines are active in TNBC and remain important agents, but have not shown specific benefit for TNBC patients *vs* non-TNBC \[[@R12], [@R13]\]. Although TNBC is associated with a poor prognosis, some patients respond well to anthracycline-based chemotherapy, reflecting a significant degree of molecular heterogeneity within this subgroup \[[@R14]-[@R16]\].

Thus, we have examined and compared the prognostic value of the IHC based subclassification in CB and 5NP and of a four miRNA signature efficacy relative to specific chemotherapy regimens.

This is what planning nerds talk about at lunch. I ate alone today, so I'm posting to the blog. Here are my top five favorite public engagement tools, in no particular order.

1. This A-frame sign

I've wanted one of these beauties since I saw a Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) public meeting A-frame sign in Buffalo in 2013. It draws people into meetings. It also helps meeting attendees find their way to a certain entrance to a building or to the right room. You mayyou’ll find that many of them have to do with getting out of debt. Once we understand the impact of carrying debt, we begin to work like our hair is on fire to get out of it, and to try to build a positive net worth.

I’ve charted out the conventional thinking about this debt, pictured below.

You can see from the chart that the conventional thinking is that “once I get to zero (either zero net worth or zero debt period) then I’m free!”

But there’s something very different about the way that an FIer thinks about life. To us, not only is the borrower slave to the lender, but the rich also rule over the poor.

Stage 2 Debt

Only if such synchronized data collection occurs can the amplitude of the interference be made repeatable over each signal collection interval, so that the signal collection results can be suitably processed to essentially remove the artifacts and allow the resulting image to be essentially free of the line-frequency artifacts. It is highly desirable to provide methods of, and apparatus for, minimizing magnetic resonance imaging artifacts due to power-line-frequency interference.as he clearly looks like a player born to wear the Azul y Oro. Boca won every game that the tenacious midfielder started, and Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s decision to leave him on the bench in the Superclásico defeat at La Bombonera in May was baffling as the game was crying out for a player with his style.

Operating from a deep-lying position in Boca’s midfield, Barrios demonstrated a capability of blocking and tackling as well as proving economical with the ball, boasting a pass completion rate of 85 percent as well as providing three assists. Barrios has three caps for Los Cafeteros but he’ll surely become an influential player for his national side in the upcoming months ahead of next year’s World Cup in Russia. In February 2016, along


ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will miss six months. His stop-start career at La Bombonera will have to wait a little longer before taking off.

The departure of Bentancur to Juventus freed up a space in Boca’s foreigner quota, one that was filled by a Colombian, making the trio a quartet. In July 2017 Edwin Cardona signed from Mexican side Monterrey on a one-year loan deal, making an immediate impact with two goals in his first three pre-season friendlies, including a superb long-range effort that has almost become his trademark. The gifted 24-year-old has almost 300 career appearances to his name after spells with Atlético Nacional, Junior and Santa Fe, and most recently in Liga MX with Monterrey.

Police in Rio de Janeiro have declared Ray Whelan, the English director of FIFA's ticket and hospitality partners MATCH, to be "a fugitive" after they attempted to re-arrest him as part of an investigation into ticket touting.

Officers arrived at the Copacabana Palace hotel with an arrest warrant, but Whelan was not there and police said they had CCTV footage of him leaving through a service door.

MATCH has stuck by Whelan and insisted he has played no part in any wrongdoing.

Rio police investigator Fabio Barucke told reporters outside the hotel: "He's now considered a fugitive. We have security camera images of him exiting the hotel through a service door."

Paul and Karen Brower adore everything about their new house in The Oaks Farm development, even though people still knock on the front door, thinking it is still the development’s model home.

The kitchen in the Browers’ new home dwarfs the one in their longtime Laguna Beach house.

The great room of the Browers’ showcase home in The Oaks Farm community shows the personalized touches added by interior designer Gary Finley, including custom built-in shelving, bespoke upholstery materials and a large rug that ties the room’s color palette together.

Having a completely private outdoor bathing area is a design element that the Browers never imagined having in their Laguna Beach house, one of the many reasons they love this brand-new home.

Introduction {#sec:introduction}
============

In everyday life we continuously perform measurements. For instance, to locate our friends we perform some kind of position measurements; similarly to read this text. Presumably all this can be described with the quantum formalism. But, obviously, these measurements are not of the standard von Neumann projective kind. They are highly noninvasive while still collecting a large amount of information in a global, single shot. Additionally, from a physical point of view, we expect a fairly simple coupling between system and observer. We call measurements that fulfill these requirements “macroscopic quantum measurements”. Our goal is to see if and how macroscopic quantum measurement can be realized.

For concreteness, think of a magnet whose $N$ atoms are idealized by spin 1/2 particles and assume

Union members drop
WASHINGTON — Union membership plummeted last year to the lowest level since the 1930s as cash-strapped state and local governments shed workers and unions had difficulty organizing new members in the private sector despite signs of an improving economy.

Government figures released Wednesday showed union membership declined from 11.8 percent to 11.3 percent of the workforce, another blow to a labor movement already stretched thin by battles in Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and other states to curb bargaining rights and weaken union clout.

Overall membership fell by about 400,000 workers to 14.4 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. More than half the loss, about 234,000, came from government workers, including teachers, firefighters and public administrators.

The components are typically connected to the sub-module by pins and are interconnected by conductors within the sub-module.
Each sub-module is connected to a still larger printed circuit board in a face to face relationship. Connections between the sub-module and printed circuit board are provided by a plurality of pins projecting normally from the board or sub-module and a socket on the other, the pins being inserted into the socket. Frequently, the pins are arranged to form discrete connectors. Due to the many logic components which may be connected to a sub-module, a

Embryo implantation represents the most critical step of the reproductive process in many species, to be successful requires a receptive endometrium, functional embryo at a stage of embryonic development and proper dialogue between embryonic and maternal tissues. Hatching is the process in which the blastocyst gets rid of the zona pellucida to be implemented. The failure in this factor can lead to reproductive problems, even under assisted reproduction techniques. Assisted hatching is a technique used in assisted reproduction laboratories to improve performance in the process of fecundation or in vitro fertilization.

Public universities are political institutions, so they are run by politicians and their appointed friends and contributors (usually one and the same). In theory, they are to serve the people, but that is mere theory. They do pretty much what they feel like doing. They are not required to be qualified for their jobs, beyond being bipedal mammals.

Academics, on the other hand, are timid folk. They got where they are by going along with the dictates of their teachers, their professors, their dissertation committee, the editors of peer-reviewed journals, their peers. They hate to make waves, other than those that may be created through the vigorous expression of hot air.

 The challenge to provide affordable rabies post-exposure treatment.
Treatment with Semple or suckling mouse brain rabies vaccines persists in many countries of Asia, Africa and South America. Its replacement depends on the immediate accessibility of effective affordable alternative treatment with tissue culture vaccines (TCVs). The use of the expensive European TCVs has been possible in Asia by means of economical intradermal (ID) post-exposure vaccine regimens. Implementation of this effective economical treatment has been delayed by the complexity and inconvenience of the regimens, and the reluctance to change prophylaxis against a fatal disease. Up to now, the ID regimens have been used only where passive immunisation with rabies immune globulin (RIG) is usually available. Rabies deaths despite optimal vaccine treatment have been attributed to lack of RIG. The ID regimens


might soon be promoted in areas where RIG is not even available for severe exposure. It is therefore vital that economical vaccine regimens should be used which induce protective immunity rapidly. Improvements in rabies pet in developing countries could be made by: (i). publicising the urgency and efficacy of wound cleaning; (ii). facilitating the replacement of nervous tissue vaccines by economical ID treatment with TCVs; (iii). using an ID regimen with a large dose of vaccine on the first day of treatment especially when no RIG is available; and (iv). promoting pre-exposure prophylaxis to eliminate the need for RIG and provide better rabies prophylaxis.That is not to say that metaphysics is not practiced, for indeed it is and there are both now and have been within the history of philosophy since Kant a number of noteworthy metaphysicians. What is nonetheless troublesome is the fact that subjectivity is still very much seen as a terrible impasse impeding metaphysical progress. In consequence, we no longer speak of being as such but only being in relation to the subject. The reduction of metaphysics to subjectivity is likewise evident within the premier works of 19th and 20th century thought-from the Kantian a priori, to the Hegelian absolute where being and nothing are collapsed within thought into a single concept- 1 synthesis, to Heidegger's renewal of the question of being which, although cognizant and even critical


of the Cartesian turn, nonetheless resolves being into the subject's dispositional stances of being-there (Dasein). In each case, the classical Aristotelian idea of a science of being is either rejected or transformed into post-metaphysical forms of critical or relational ontology.1 Classically construed, metaphysics was understood as the science of being as being. The repetition as being further served to indicate the aspect according to which this science was thought to study its subject matter. It is inherently reflective (reflexio). But it is not only reflective in the sense in which x is x involves reflection. As a product of the human encounter with being, metaphysics both includes subjectivity but was likewise thought to transcend the subject on the basis of the human reflective capacity to "double back" upontoward the Good as the aim and end of all human desire and action. Metaphysics is also called wisdom (sophia) and through contemplation (theoria), wisdom is reckoned within the Nichomachean Ethics as the supreme source of human well-being.5 Although Aristotle considers the heights of wisdom in many ways unattainable, as the sole possession of the gods, he nonetheless urges on pursuit of this science. Finally, contemplation entails reflection, and in Aristotle's characterization of the prime mover within the twelfth book of the Metaphysics according to the notion of thought thinking itself (noesis noeseos), we discover reflection expressed in its highest and most complete form.6 That Aristotle should later characterize metaphysics as the science of being as being follows almost naturally from the very aims of wisdom. For how


On other accounts, beauty is likewise included as a transcendental. See, e.g., Jacques Maritain, Art and Scholasticism (Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press, 1974) and more recently Alice Ramos, Dynamic Transcendentals: Truth, Goodness and Beauty from a Thomistic Perspective (Washington: The Catholic University of America Press, 2012). 11 Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason, trans. Norman Kemp Smith (Boston/New York: Macmillan & Co., 1965), B114. 12 Ibid. B316. 13 Ibid. B317. 5 that here emerges is determined to be a fundamental offspring of the act of reflection. Kant further proceeds to distinguish logical reflection, at bottom comparative in nature, from transcendental reflection, said to involve consideration of "the objects themselves" which further, "contains the ground of possibility of the objective comparison of representations with each other".14 As such,being-given serves as an explicit and we might say, actual encounter with being, mindfulness and being-mine expresses always the potency for an encounter. The two are likewise interwoven into my every experiential encounter, so that at each moment, as being is given to and for me there is also mindful appropriation of being there in the background. In the second place, the science of being demands objectivity with respect to the study of 24 Aristophanes, Plutus, 467. 15 that which is. By objectivity is meant a subject-less account of being, as it were, being apart from any relation to a subject. On the other hand, the modes of encounter thus far examined, viz., being-given and being-mine, each involve definite restrictions with respect to the encounter with being. For

After taking an impromptu topless dip in a cold lake in Olsen's hometown in Norway, the three friends wanted to capture the moment of freedom.

"It simply just happened, no planning involved," Edginton wrote in an e-mail.

They continued to travel and post similar photos throughout Europe and New York, all featuring themselves in topless poses against dramatic backgrounds.

Then they called for others to send in their topless photos from around the world.

From Idaho to Cape Town to Thailand, the mildly salacious images poured in.

Q:

Can feature selection be considered a way to observe relationship between variables like correlation?

In correlation we can observe relationship between a pair of variables, let me call it X1 and Y.
Now, considering I have the predicting variables X1, X2, ..., Xn and the variable Y. Does the following assumption holds:
If the variables Xi,...,Xj are observed to better classify Y, where 1 <= i,j <= n, can I claim that the variables Xi,...,Xj have more association with Y rather the remaining variables Xk, k not belonging to the i,j interval.

A:

In a word yes. In a Bayesian framework, a good feature  (or feature set) $X$ is one where $P(Y | X )$ depends significantly on the specific value of $X$ observed; which can be reasonably interpretedcan I get the vector "labels" as in the old code to be generated from the new time interval?
a) ignoring the "" spots in the labels vector of #old
b) incorporating empty "" in the labels vector

A:

I would keep dates as dates.  Use the seq.Date function to add quarterly information, then change the format at the end.
I wouldn't change your loop, from what I can see it's the best solution for adding blanks, that said, I would assess why you need these blanks, there's probably a better way that doesn't require them.
st <- as.Date("20140101", "%Y%m%d")
en <- as.Date("20170101", "%Y%m%d")

quarters <- seq.Date(from = st, to = en, "quarter")

To make matters worst, we had each pledged everything that we owned to the banks to collateralize our personal business acquisition loans.

That was, without a doubt, the worst business decision that I ever made.

The Income Tax Form of 1862 began as shown below:

INCOME TAX OF 1862

The Income Tax is imposed upon a certain proportion of the income of these two classes, viz:

1st. Every person residing in the United States; and every citizen residing abroad who is in the employment of the government of the United States.

2nd. Every citizen of the United States residing abroad, and not in the employment of the government of the United States.

Every person in the first class will be taxed at the rate of threethat the practice was begun because in ancient times the tithes were used to support the poor, the widows and the orphans. There were no formal welfare programs, social security, aid to dependent children or other organized governmental programs for the poor and helpless. He stated further, that today he pays thirty eight percent of his income to the federal and state government. He had recently discovered that out of his thirty eight percent nearly half (19%) goes to social programs for the poor, disabled or simply to redistribute his wealth to those less fortunate. Because he was supporting the poor, widowed and orphaned through organized governmental programs, he felt no obligation to give another tenth to the Church.

We wanted our marketing program to create a demand for our products even if no demand was immediately present from our customer. We wanted our marketing program to bring the customer to us instead of us having to find the customer, create a demand and convince them to buy from us.

Furthermore, no protections were contained in the core of the agreement to maintain labor or environmental standards. As a result, NAFTA tilted the economic playing field in favor of investors, and against workers and the environment, resulting in a hemispheric "race to the bottom" in wages and environmental quality."

It was amazing that one of our Alabama Senators voted for NAFDA and, soon after, retired and wrote a book about his memoirs. He held book signings all over the state and people flocked to get his autograph on their $20 souvenir. This man, by signing NAFDA into law, had helped to put more Alabamians out of work than


grew. They never went into debt for anything. They always paid cash for all that they bought. They always negotiated for the best price and never bought more than they needed. When they deposited money in the bank....it stayed there. There were never any liens on their properties, businesses or inventories." Mr. Woolworth stated, "From the Dutch I learned to manage my business and never let my business manage me."

We decided to stick by our guns.... No debt for any reason!

There is no question the growth that we experienced in both businesses above were blessings. Our dreams had come true. You as an entrepreneur must be prepared for the things that inevitably will happen if things go right and you are successful. Growth consumes cash and cash ismarket your business not your prices. That is what will determine long term growth and stability.

Once upon a time, I a fellow called our office and left several messages for me. I knew that something important was happening. Finally, I returned his call. I could hear the desperation in his voice. He had just been awarded a large contract to supply table cloths to the Army. He stated that the contract was too large for him. He wanted to see if the Army would agree to let Bama Jammer take over on the performance of the contract. He was offering the contract to us. Well, it all sounded good to me until I saw the agreement and the price of the table cloths that he had quoted to


contracts, the trading partners have a tendency to forget exactly how the deal was to work. Maybe they had a lot of excess inventory when the trade was made, but now that inventory is gone. Maybe their work load was very slow when the barter was created, but now they are very busy with cash customers. The IRS also watches bartering very carefully. There are no tax advantages or disadvantages to bartering. Trading should be considered a marketing tool, not a tax tool. A business has to maintain very detailed bartering records for themselves as well as the tax folks. Bartering is a great way to get you into trouble with the tax men, and that is not good. There are some advantages to bartering but it canalso be a big head ache.

Free goods is pretty easy to understand. There are organizations from "The Head Bangers With the Cracked Skull Association" to "The Women's Oriental Never Was-ers" that want free goods for their cause. A business has to set limits as we have done above and strictly adhere to them.

These were tremendous decisions for him. Finally in desperation, his family and friends had him carted off and sent to a rest home. Removed from the pressures of the work place, he seemed to make considerable improvement. After a few months, the doctors determined that their patient was normal and could return to work. He was packed and ready to go home when his doctor asked him if he felt that he could now take his place in the world and make good sound decisions. The executive brightened up, smiled big and blurted, "Well, yes and no."

A big part of decision-making is plain old organization. Organize your options, weigh the pros and cons and make a good, sound and timely decision. This can not be done if youhave half of the facts, outdated financial statements or pages missing from a marketing research report. This reminds me of another story.

The minister at the local Church of Christ was a great guy, an excellent speaker, a super motivator and was always very organized. He left nothing to chance. He often read his sermons which he placed upon the pulpit as soon as he arrived at church each Sunday morning. One Sunday morning, one of the teenage pranksters thought that he would see what would happen to the minister if a page or two were removed from his sermon. The youngster slipped into church, hid behind the pulpit and removed a couple of pages from the morning lesson. The preacher started his morning sermon and was reading it

Find people who are positive, honest, loyal, trustworthy, and who have good positive outlooks on life. Surround yourself with these type of people and you will grow spiritually, personally and professionally. This should include all of you friends, employees, candidates for a spouse and yes, even family members. .

Here is what it all gets down to: As an entrepreneur, you will be surprised how well your business will perform if you practice these things above. Surround yourself with the right kind of people at work, and your business will flourish. Surround your self with the wrong folks, andgood family. Never again would I overlook the anguish of the suffering. Never again would I take for granted the blessing of mobility, trips to the mall, the ability to drive a car and freedom from pain.

On May 24, the orthopedic surgeons put my leg back together. With screws and drills, like I had done thousands of times with wood, they repaired what was left of my leg and ankle. My stay in the hospital initially lasted for six days. I was dismissed from the hospital but had to be readmitted a day later when I was suspected to have a blood clot on my lung. This was a tough ordeal for a person who had never had been sick a day in his life. It was tough


cheapen the brewing process. The plan was to use a high-temperature fermentation process. This would allow the beer to be produced much more cheaply and increase the company's profit margins. The public, however, perceived the beer to be inferior, and sales plummeted. To make matters worse, in 1981 the employees at the Milwaukee plant decided that it was time to strike. Naturally, the company ran into serious financial difficulties. On June 10, 1982, Stroh Brewery Company of Detroit Michigan bought the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company. Schlitz beer is still produced, but in relatively small quantities. Today, the Pabst Brewing Company owns the rights to the Schlitz name. Today, a business park, a middle school and government office buildings stand on the historic site of the old Schlitz Brewery.

One very promising cloud had passed over it without any effect; when, at length, just as he was beginning to despair of his contrivance, he observed some loose threads of the hempen string to stand erect, and to avoid one another, just as if they had been suspended on a common conductor. Struck with this promising appearance, he immediately presented his knuckle to the key, and (let the reader judge of the exquisite pleasure he must have felt at that moment) the discovery was complete. He perceived a very evident electric spark. Others succeeded, even before the string was wet, so as to put the matter

That is the way entrepreneurs work. They have an idea. They cause others to raise their eyebrows when they glance in the direction of the entrepreneur. They go through the highs and the lows. Just like the cave man, they keep killing something for the supper table. They are persistent. Even Mrs. Ben Franklin was beginning to have her patience worn thin. It is said that Ben's wife got so aggravated at the lightening experiments that she asked him how she could disconnect them when he was away from home.

Forthe business opportunities that are out there. Does that business or industry match your skills, interests, and personality? Ask yourself if you are passionate about this venture. If not, forget it. It will never work.

• Research different businesses and the skills needed to compete in each of them. Find out more about the nature of the business that interests you, such as educational requirements, earnings potential, working conditions, future outlook, and anything else that can help you narrow your focus.

• Develop a plan. You need to draw a map of where you are today and where you want to be in the future. Figure out how to get from here to there. Think about what you want to do and find out more about the kind of training,


but don't let it start every sentence.

2. "Up-Talk": A singsong or rising inflection at the end of every sentence creates a tentative impression and makes it sound as though you're asking a question instead of making a definitive statement. You need to speak with conviction when selling yourself. Bring your intonation down when ending a sentence to avoid talking up.

3. Grammatical Errors: The interviewer may question your education when you use incorrect grammar or slang. Expressions such as "ain't" "she don't," "me and my friend" and "so I goes to him" aren't appropriate. Be sure you speak in complete sentences and that tenses agree. The interview is not the venue for regional expressions or informality.

11. In strategizing how to build your customer base and induce current customers to raise revenues, the importance of good service cannot be overstressed -- especially as their buying power or willingness to spend is lessened during tough economic times. Studies show that perception of service is fixed primarily in terms of time in a customer's mind. Three examples are: waiting time to obtain service; reaction time to deliver service; and length of time of the service. In banks or stores, or phoning in orders or for information, prospective customers will walk out or hang up if their time perception is strained. According to management consultant Donald Blumberg, author of Managing Serviceas simple as that! There are lots of people who have ideas but very few who have the intestinal fortitude to do anything with those ideas. An entrepreneur must be an eternal optimist. There are always reasons to be doubtful. Always be positive. Always remember the paraphrase of Zig Ziglar, " The future is very important to all of us because we are going to spend the rest of our lives there." Don't follow your dream...Live your dream. One thing that you never want to be said is that "He (or she) has a great future behind him."

Here are some secrets for becoming a successful entrepreneur.

• Keep your promises.

• Give your enthusiasm to everyone.

• Be an optimist.

• Always remain humble.

• Be fair and honest, but firm with everybody.

A blue LED centred at 455 nm provides illumination for bright-field imaging of the trapped particles, and the light reflected from the beam splitter and dichroic mirror was projected onto a camera (Watec, 1/3 in., model 231S2) after removing scattered laser light with a short pass filter. This could collect images from the underside of the particle, referred to as in-plane imaging. The range of the laser and LED illumination wavelengths were removed by appropriate notch and long pass filters (around 514.5 nm) from the back-scattered Raman signal from the particle. The Raman scatter was focused onto the entrance slit of a spectrograph instrument (Omni-λ 5006) with a 1200 grooves nm^−1^ grating and a CCD (iDus DV420A-BV) array ofthe mixed droplets than that in the gas phase, leading to the droplets shrinkage with increasing time at constant RH blowing. However, as to the low RHs, owing to the efflorescence of the NaNO~3~ in the surrounding deposited droplets, the activity of glycerol in the surrounding deposited droplets is higher than that in the levitated droplet, resulting in repartitioning of glycerol from the surrounding deposited droplets to the levitated droplet, thus the radius of the levitated droplet increases gradually. From the above-mentioned analysis, we can conclude that the difference of the glycerol activity between the levitated glycerol/NaNO~3~/H~2~O droplet and the surrounding efflorescence glycerol/NaNO~3~/H~2~O particles leads to the repartitioning of glycerol between them.

We must crucially understand that the globalists had numerous false flags planned before the election, but they chose to avoid activating any of them because they mistakenly thought they had the election locked up.

Thus, by the narrowest of margins, We the People managed to both WIN the election for Trump and avoid large-scale false flag attacks on U.S. soil. I can’t even describe to you how narrowly we all threaded the needle on that one…

Facing high-scoring Denver, Florida knew it had to be at its best defensively in its NCAA women's lacrosse championship second-round matchup.
The Gators responded with a smothering defensive effort in the 16-5 win over the Pioneers on Sunday afternoon at Dizney Stadium.
Florida held Denver to its fewest goals in the first half this season to build a 12-1 halftime lead.

In all cases where a system returns to a predetermined condition after a power failure and recover, it remains in that condition until some input is received from the user to indicate what state it should be in. Once the user input is received--for example, by manipulation of a switch or control--the system changes from the predetermined condition to the new condition requested by the user and thereby resumes normal operation.
However, this prior art recovery method, where the predetermined condition is maintained until there is user input can cause problems in a lighting control system. As an example, consider a system that returns to the "off"


Synthesis of triazoles from nonactivated terminal alkynes via the three-component coupling reaction using a Pd(0)-Cu(I) bimetallic catalyst.
The synthesis of triazoles via the three-component coupling reaction of unactivated terminal alkynes, allyl carbonate, and trimethylsiyl azide under the Pd(0)-Cu(I) bimetallic catalyst is developed. The reaction most probably proceeds through the formation of a pi-allylpalladium azide complex and a copper-acetylide followed by a successive [3 + 2] cycloaddition. The deallylation of the resulting allyltriazoles proceeds very easily by the Ru-catalyzed isomerization followed by the ozonolysis of the resulting propenyltriazoles to give the triazoles in high yields.limitations, when we encounter gods, we’re really seeing the tip of the iceberg.

In a cross-sectional study from the US comprising 1621 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (575 on metformin and 1046 not on metformin) and 6867 persons without diabetes, the diabetes without metformin group had the lowest prevalence of Vitamin B12 deficiency (2.4%) as compared to 5.8% in the diabetes on metformin group and the 3.3% in the group without diabetes.\[[@ref1]\] Interestingly, patients not on metformin group in that study had a statisticallyGenerally speaking, a sensor is a device that measures an observable attribute and converts it into one or more electrical signals which can be recorded and/or subsequently (or concurrently) evaluated by another device (e.g., a computer system) and/or a human observer. Sensors are routinely used both to acquire biometric data (e.g., from a human test subject) and non-biometric data to measure attributes such as temperature, wind speed, humidity, salinity, barometric pressure, sound, light, and the like.
Biometric data often is acquired using appropriate sensors attached to a human subject to evaluate physiological activity of various organs, such as the heart or brain. The biometrics, data so acquired can be analyzed to look for patterns that may assist in diagnosing various conditions. For example, the electrical activity of the heart

3. Provide detailed feedback
The more feedback you give, the more quality submissions you will get. Creative people don’t work well in a void, and good feedback on designs gets a great response. Thank people for their submissions and efforts, and be respectful.

4. Focus on the good designers
You can usually instantaneously from a submission whether a designer is competent. It is good to give feedback to all initially, even if it is just to point out to all what is wrong with it. However from the many designers competing, you can clearly see early on which have the capabilities to win. Give them detailed feedback and encouragement. Remember they


\rho(\pi_0))~\text{subject to~}\forall i=1,...,d,\rho(\pi_i)\ge \rho_{\_\_},~\text{with probability at least~} (1-\delta)~\text{per iteration}$.

FSI requires that in each iteration of policy improvement, a behavior policy (the policy that gets deployed) $\pi_i$’s expected return is no worse than a bound $\rho_{\_\_}$, with probability at least $1-\delta$. We call such a policy $\pi_i$ a [*safe policy*]{}. Both $\delta$ and $\rho_{\_\_}$ can be adjusted by the user to specify how much risk is reasonable for the application at hand. $\rho_{\_\_}$ can be the performance of $\pi_0$ or $\pi_{i-1}$. Furthermore, FSI aims at maximally improving the behavior policy within a limited number of policy improvement iterations. This objective is what distinguishes FSI from the safe policy improvement (SPI) problem that enforces only the safety constraint on behavior policies [@petrik16; @ThomasHCPI].

To achieve exploration within the safety constraint, one could[@ThomasHCPI]. In Mountain Car and Acrobot, we use FQI, an off-policy value approximation algorithm, with Fourier basis functions of order 3 [@konidaris2011value] for function approximation. Following [@ThomasHCPI], we set $\delta=.05$ for all experiments.

Candidate policies are generated as mixed policies, as in  [@ThomasHCPI] and [@Jiang2016], to control how different a candidate policy can be from a prior behavior policy. A mixed policy $\mu_{\alpha,\pi_0,\pi}$ is defined as a mixture of policies $\pi_0$ and $\pi$ by mixing parameter $\alpha \in [0,1]$: $\mu_{\alpha,\pi_0,\pi}(a|s) := (1-\alpha)\pi(a|s) + \alpha\pi_0(a|s)$. A larger $\alpha$ tends to make policy confirmation easier, at the cost of yielding a more conservative candidate policy and reducing the diversity in the confirmed policies. In experiments, we use $\alpha=.3$ for Gridworld and $\alpha=.9$ for Mountain Car/Acrobot. For Mountain Car and Acrobot, we need a high

\hat{U}(t) = &=& \left( \begin{array}{cc} \hat{V} & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{cc}  \Gamma(\hat{n}) + \Omega(\hat{n}) & \Gamma(\hat{n}) - \Omega(\hat{n}) \\ 2 g_{-} f(\hat{n}) & 2 g_{-} f(\hat{n}) \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{cc} e^{-i \lambda_{+}(\hat{n}) t} & 0 \\ 0 & e^{- i \lambda_{-}(\hat{n}) t } \end{array} \right) \nonumber \\ && \times  \left( \begin{array}{cc}  \Gamma(\hat{n}) + \Omega(\hat{n}) & \Gamma(\hat{n}) - \Omega(\hat{n}) \\ 2 g_{-} f(\hat{n}) & 2 g_{-} f(\hat{n}) \end{array} \right)^{-1} \left( \begin{array}{cc} \hat{V}^{\dagger} & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array} \right).  \end{aligned}$$ In otherintensity of the light field is shown in Fig. \[fig:Fig1\](a). The time evolution of the mean value for the photon number, atomic excitation energy and von Neumann entropy are shown in Figs. \[fig:Fig1\](b)-\[fig:Fig1\](d). Figure \[fig:Fig1\](e) shows the time evolution of the fidelity, note how the evolution of this separable initial state returns periodically to its original state. In Fig. \[fig:Fig2\], we show the classical simulation of an entangled initial state $\vert \psi(0) \rangle = \vert \alpha_{+}, g \rangle + \vert \alpha_{-}, e \rangle $ with identical parameter values as those in Fig. \[fig:Fig1\]. Again, the state has positive parity and just the positive parity photonic lattice is needed to simulate the quantum system. The evolution of this entangled initial state also returns to its original state as witnessed

He could talk before his injury, really simply guys. Anyway not looking forward to the movie especially if Hama is not involved, I have a feeling they won't do the proper research for the movie. Hollywood ruined the first movie and Larry Hama had to fight the producers during the second movie, just to do things right.
