not on-hand, so it was a surprised shop employee who had to endure my brief line of rhetorical questioning, which consisted of “I paid $42 for this?” as I stormed out.

Let it be known that the irony is not lost on me that for the $42 I threw away, I could’ve driven them down to Code 7 in Long Beach with that amount of money in my pocket, waited for them, bought lunch, tipped the server, paid for the shine, tipped the shiner, driven them home and still had about $10 left.

To make matters worse whoever did the quarter-assed job at Willie’s applied polish to e-v-e-r-y leather aspect of the eight-inch uppers of the boot — a complete waste of time, material and effort since those parts oflate:

1) Kayaking The Los Angeles River

As part of a pilot program this summer, a section of the long-lost Los Angeles River coursing through Elysian Valley was reopened to the public for use as a recreational resource, an opportunity angelenos have not had since the 1930s when the river’s channelization was begun to prevent flooding.

As a boy I accidentally discovered the river, and from that single experience I have never stopped being enamored with and zealously protective of what so many others have dismissed as our city’s woeful waterway — little more than a drainage ditch to the sea. Though I’ve been aware of its potential, I never imagined that one day I’d see such a sea change in perception so that the river would made accessible and embraced


is going to take about eight or more… mostly because over the ensuing rainy seasons, what started as one layer of rocks on the surface of the soil is now in places two or three layers of rocks that have been buried by the flow of water and soil, hastened by those people who’ve tromped on them and pushed them deeper. It’s really quite remarkable how low some of these rocks have gone.

I found out during the first four/five foot long section I cleared from the driveway apron to the magnolia tree, which also involved digging up all the dead patches of grass. And there are a LOT of dead patches of grass.

Soooo, what you’re seeing here in this timelapse is roughly 45 minutes of me attacking withplaces it might be (as well as many places it absolutely wouldn’t), I then did a cursory and unsuccessful search of the discarded garbage, my fear being I accidentally pitched it with some other trash. But I’m afraid I’m going to have to don some makeshift biohazard gear and dive in deep to the budding repulsive compost-in-training for a more complete examination that leaves nary a broken eggshell, turkey bone, coffee ground, nor grapefruit rind unturned. Few things frustrate and fixate me more than a cherished thing that’s just up and vanished, so like I said, silence all the pianos and stop the dog from barking… this is me obsessing.

Hynes/My Turn: Down the same rut

Fifty years after Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech — the inspired vision of an America of freedom and racial harmony — we are preparing to wage another war in the now-inflamed Middle East, this time against Syria.

The “limited” Tomahawk Cruise missile strikes with “no boots on the ground” originally proposed by President Obama are quickly expanding to “boots on the ground if necessary” and “a broader strategy” to arm and strengthen opposition rebels. As the White House forcefully lobbies Congress for their approval for military action, we the people must parse the reasons why going to war against Syria is a moral and political failure. Among the multitude of reasons, here are three.

That is tremendously exciting, and in a small but growing organization, creating and forging that culture of symbiosis is easier than in a larger organization where practices tied to the past are deeply rooted.

With the addition of The Bay Citizen, we will have the ability with a good portion of our staff to focus on a local market, the Bay Area, and also have the staff and infrastructure to implement and manage strategies for sustainability, audience growth, engagement and membership around our work that can help us create a model that can be emulated elsewhere.

Adding The Bay Citizen’s staff, skills and resources and ensuring that we are all working toward the same goals will not be easy. But it will be essential.

Milk and health
---------------

Numerous epidemiological studies indicate that diet plays a major role in premature morbidity and mortality in the United States ([@B1]). Poor diet and a lack of physical activity may eventually overtake smoking as the leading preventable causes of death ([@B2]). Campaigns promoting positive changes in dietary behavior have great potential for improving the public\'s health.

Milk is a good choice for use in a community campaign to improve health behaviors because it is consumed by so many people and plays an important role in health and the diet. High-fat milk contributes significant amounts of excess calories and saturated fat to the American diet, is the third-leading source of saturated fat in the diet of American adults, and is the leading source of saturated fat in the dietsimplemented in numerous communities nationwide, and the results of the pilot campaigns have been published ([@B11]-[@B13]).

In this study, we assess the cost-effectiveness of various combinations of the *1% Or Less* campaign components in four individual West Virginia communities. We compare the cost, exposure, and outcomes to the campaign message of the four different types of campaign combinations: 1) paid advertising, media relations, and community-based educational activities; 2) paid advertising and media relations; 3) media relations and community-based educational activities; and 4) paid advertising alone. The paid advertising component consisted of professionally produced, strategically placed television, radio, and newspaper advertising. Media relations comprised events designed and implemented to generate coverage by the local news media. The community-based educational activities included events such as blind milk taste tests in grocery


(Zimmerman & Markman, Los Angeles, Calif) to design and produce our television, radio, and print advertisements. After the materials were produced, we worked with a professional media buyer to strategically place the advertisements in a way that would best reach a target audience within the given budget.

Strategic placement of advertisements can result in delivery of a high-impact message and reach the intended target audience. In contrast, health educators using advertisements without professional assistance may spend their time and resources producing public service announcements that result in little market penetration ([@B25]). We know of no effective nutrition education campaigns that effectively used public service announcements to produce a significant communitywide behavior change.

Without market penetration (i.e., if campaigns do not reach their intended target), campaigns have little possibility of success.components or subsystems, such as sensors, functional blocks, communication modules, etc., that may provide or otherwise support positioning.
With respect to positioning, for example, different mobile devices and their component sets of subsystems may be capable of performing some of the same or related activities for navigating and/or tracking a user along a desired route and providing related metrics such as speed, elevation, calories burned, etc. Thus, it may be that two or more mobile devices may consume power to perform the same or similar functions. Since mobile devices tend to rely heavily on battery power, it is usually desirable to reduce power consumption and increase battery life.

the furthest man forward, receiving the ball on the left hand side. Dragging two defenders over, he dribbled past both of them with consummate ease before cutting in just as he reached the penalty area. 18 yards out, he feigned to shoot, drawing Caen left back Emmanuel Imorou completely out of position before sliding a gorgeous pass through to the onrushing Bernardo Silva, who then chipped the keeper as he came out to close the angle. Manchester United have often lacked pace in their play this season, but Martial, in addition to their other summer signing Memphis Depay could both offer a lot on the counter attack, adding another dimension to their somewhat predictable play.

Another impressive aspect to Martial’s game is his ability to work the goalkeeper consistently.ended the campaign on 47% while Lille’s (now of Liverpool) Divock Origi and Renne’s Paul-Georges Ntep did so on 44% and 51% respectively. Not only is he cooler in front of goal than those in his age group, he can hold his own amongst the big boys in the league. Edinson Cavani (59%), Alexandre Lacazette (59%), Andre Pierre Gignac (52%) and Max Gradel (49%) who were four of the highest scorers in France’s top flight last season. After only managing to score three goals in four games in the Premier League this season, Martial could be some welcome firepower as United look to kick on after a hit and miss start.

As a forward thinking player, taking on and beating defenders is a box on the checklist that will

There is no doubt that Martial is a talented player, and along with Alexandre Lacazette, probably one of the best young strikers in France. However, he is just about to turn 20 and has only three seasons of first team football under his belt, with only one of those seeing him play regularly. While his pace and versatility will bring a lot to Louis van Gaal and Manchester United, asking a teenager to come in to a huge club like this and instantly have an impact is a big ask, not to mention the risk that the huge price tag will hang over his head.

The key, therefore, requires increasing contrast, and decreasing noise, while at the same time decreasing X-ray dose.

Increasing Contrast: Our Team of researchers has focused on increasing contrast. Installation of a Hafnium Filter in the exit window of the X-ray generating tube has been shown to narrow the X-ray photon energy spectrum, and thereby increase contrast, while at the same time decreasing X-ray dose by 40% to 50% [3].

Please see attachments:1) Photograph of replacing the copper with hafnium in the center of the Exit Window Filter of the X-ray generating tube. 2) Figure showing the X-ray photon energy spectrum produced when 120kVp electrons strike a tungsten anode (solid curve), and calculated to be present after “filtering” by hafnium (dashed curve). 3) Figure showing the effect of using the hafnium


filter. These data were taken observing a CIRS Model M007TE-04 tissue equivalent abdominal phantom, 10-year old size, custom modified to contain 1 to 6 mm dia. axial rods, with x-ray absorption properties 2% above the background matrix.

Decreasing Noise: CT system manufacturers have focused on the challenge by making use of “digital post-imaging iterative reconstructive techniques” to reduce noise. Sufficient noise reduction has been achieved to allow the X-ray dose to be reduced by 40% to 50%, a significant industry advance.

Increasing Contrast plus Decreasing Noise - Adding the hafnium filter contrast increase technique to a system using digital post-imaging iterative reconstructive noise reduction increases C/NR still further, and is projected by computational modelling to achieve a 90% reduction in X ray dose [4], truly making X ray CT saferof each sample accurately and stored at -20°C for preservation. *Quality analysis*

Parts of the song certainly fit Kara; other parts, if you change “he” to “she” apply to Tyrol. Both are lost at the beginning of the episode. By the end, Kara is on the road to getting answers, perhaps finding some peace. Tyrol, on the other hand, has been destroyed.

The teaser was great. In addition to giving hope immediately that the series was back on track, it did what a really good teaser should: review where we are at, establish the tone, and set up the plot of the episode.

Kara, as they all


all this.

Speaking of Hera, she is one element I’m having some issues with right now. Is she still special if Kara was the first Cylon/Human hybrid? The one thing that make me believes she still is is that it’s she, not Kara, who was present in the Opera House visions.

Oh, Boomer. Oh, Tyrol.OH, HELO.

This episode managed to simultaneously shoot my theories to hell and confirm them. My suspicion as to the ease of Boomer and Ellen’s escape was well founded. Cavil did let them go. Now, not only does he know where the fleet is, he has Hera. (I’m not certain why he wants Hera. I didn’t think he believed in all this mystical crap.)

I do believe Boomer loves Tyrol, but I was mistaken that Ellen’s words onmy defense, I'm also IMing with someone during the episode. ;)

Mo: Speaking of composition, what had to be cut from "STWOM"? What happened on set that you weren't expecting or that presented difficulties?

Thompson: It’s been a while since I watched all this go down, but I think most of the cuts were in the music because it was long and that was the place where we could best afford the loss. The show was restructured in editing, because Andy and Paul found a way that the climax with Kara and the climax with Boomer could happen simultaneously, which made the end much more satisfying.

And I should note that we’d been admonished (by high level players who will remain nameless) not to have Helo make the mistake he makes.


"your miscarriage wouldn't have happened if you'd really loved your baby" plotline from last week, which goes against decades of teaching on how to try and help individuals and couples survive something as traumatic as a miscarriage.

I'd agree that the show has a history of dropping the ball with characters. Lee has been largely absent the last two weeks, but it least in Season 4 they put him on a career path that made sense for the character. We had over a season of the character floundering for a place on the show. And I definitely get an "Oops, we forgot about Boomer and Head Six and need to bring them back before we wrap this up" vibe. I pretty much love all the characters on the show,just brilliant. I love it. And the entirety of the intro.

I'm actually okay with Helo not being able to tell Athena from anyone else. I mean, it's not just any other Eight, it's Boomer and like you say, it's interesting given that he loved her first. Cylons can tell the difference, but humans? When they're genetically identical and more similar than identical twins?

I'm somewhat consoled that the podcast said this would definitely affect the way Athena viewed Helo. I'm also actually on the side of the writers in this one not the network since apparently their reasons for not wanting him to not be able to tell the difference was that it would damage his upright moral character. To be honest, I don't think it does damage how


I view him, it's just tragic, but I certainly think that Helo, if anything, suffers from being too infallible. Not that I'd wish this on anyone, I just think it's interesting, if horrible, and if there's fallout it's a storyline that could play really well.

Thanks also for the link to the interview. The cautious "maybe" strikes me as a coded yes rather than an attempt not to say, "no, we were just being cute," because if anything these writers admit more often than they should that they didn't mean anything by dropping something in there. Which reassures me somewhat that we'll get some concrete answers about Daniel/Dreilide.

The only requirement is that you feel intensely about it and are willing to act with enthusiasm, awakening the sleeping God within you.

As Abraham Maslow once observed about self-actualizing people: “They must be what they can be.” Take a moment to think about what you can be, and contrast that with what you’ve chosen to be up until now. So what can you be? Perhaps you have an idea you’ve been carrying around with you for decades, such as a book that you know needs to be written, which only you have the wisdomquality timepieces! Yet when the idle scions of the Venezuelan elite themselves own safes full of jewels, several luxury cars, houses across the world, this is fine because there’s no hypocrisy involved — they never pretended to care about another soul on this planet but their own. There has never been a cynicism so toxic, so deep.

When “opposition” supporters, in between #SOS posts on Instagram, post stories of themselves on their yachts in Aruba, or their family farm in the mountains, or their beach house in Isla Margarita, or flaneuring around Barcelona and Madrid, are we meant to consider this a life of suffering? If they’re doing this, who is “earning” the money they draw to pay for these extravagances most people on earth — let alone Venezuela


create.

We also know that they consider “corruption” — or at least the even more vague “waste” — to include the building of 2.5 million homes, universities, collective farms, markets, food programs, medical facilities. To the bruised egos of the waning nobles, it’s unconscionable to give literal peasants a boost up from the dirt floor.

no calamity of the sort he describes has befallen science, it is exactly what has happed to morality. True, no philosopher has been lynched, no seminar room torched, no riots erupted in response to the disastrous consequences of Kantianism or utilitarianism. Nevertheless, MacIntyre insists, moral thought is in the same state as science was in his fictive account, a state of ‘grave disorder’, and one in which the very disorder blinds us to the moral chaos that surrounds us. Moral thought has been hollowed out; everyone uses moral terms such as ‘ought’ and ‘should’, but no truly understands them. We argue endlessly about the justice of wars, the morality of abortion, the nature of freedom, but we not do not reach agreement; in fact we cannot even agreebeings. And this in turn led to a new concept of teleology. Teleological notions, expunged from nature, were introduced into the human world.

It is true that this new historical consciousness found voice in the Romantic challenge to the Enlightenment. Its most radical expression came, however, with those who married the Romantic vision of history to Enlightenment ideas of equality and freedom. Conservatives, such as Burke and Bradley, seized upon history as ‘an idea of continuity’, a means of resisting modernity, an instrument through which an individual could understand and accept his or her place in a long-crafted social order. Radicals viewed history as an idea not of continuity, but of change and transformation, as a means of negating all that which restricted freedom and reason.

There was an ambiguity


claim upon the present. ‘What I am’, MacIntyre insists, ‘is in key part what I inherit’. I always exist as ‘part of a history’ and ‘whether I like it or not, whether I recognize it or not’, even if I reject the burden, I remain always ‘one of the bearers of a tradition.’

The problem with Enlightenment conceptions of morality, MacIntyre argues, is the insistence that the moral agent has ‘to be able to able to stand back from any and every situation… and to pass judgement on it from a purely universal and abstract point of view’. But, MacIntyre insists, such a God’s eye view is impossible. Moral clarity comes not through detachment from society or tradition but through embeddedness in it. Not only can one not bewrong. Yet, the social conditions of the premodern world, the inability of such societies to raise their productive capacities, ensured that slavery remained woven into the social fabric. Not until the emergence of capitalism did the social and economic conditions for the abolition of slavery come into being. There were certainly arguments against slavery in the premodern world. Such opposition to slavery was rational from a God’s eye view, but not necessarily when viewed against the background of the societies in which the critics lived. Aristotle and Augustine were wrong in their support for slavery. And yet, there was something rational in their arguments given the social conditions of their time.

BAGHDAD — The U.S. embassy in Baghdad said on Monday it has limited the movement of its personnel after receiving "credible threats of possible attacks on hotels frequented by Westerners".

"As a reminder, U.S. citizens should maintain a heightened sense of security awareness and take appropriate measures to enhance their personal security at all times when living and working in Iraq," an emergency security message for U.S. citizens on the embassy's website said.

It did not give details on the nature of threat.

U.S. authorities advised citizens to avoid traveling to Iraq citing the risk of being kidnapped by armed political groups or criminal gangs and bombings by the group Islamic State.

Three defense contractors kidnapped inAt the time of writing, Kepler-36 b has the best-determined mass and density of the known rocky exoplanets ($\mpl=4.56\pm1.23$, $\rhopl=8.8\pm2.5\gcc$). @Howard2013rocky, @Pepe2013, and @Grunblatt2015 measured the mass of the Earth-density planet Kepler-78 b ($\rpl = 1.20\pm0.09\rearth$, $\mpl = 1.87\pm0.26\mearth$, $\rhopl = 6.0\pm1.7\gcc$), the closest Earth-analog in terms of planet mass, radius, and density, although it is far too hot to support life as we know it.

However, some small planets have definitively non-rocky surfaces and require hydrogen-helium envelopes to explain their low bulk densities. For instance, three of the six planets orbiting Kepler-11 are smaller than 4  and have densities lower than 1.0   [@Lissauer2011; @Lissauer2013]. Likewise, two of four the planets orbiting Kepler-79 (a.k.a. KOI-152) are smaller than 4  and have densities lower than 1.0  [@Jontof-Hutter2014]. In an


envelope and found that at and above $1.6~\rearth$, the majority of planets have a volatile envelope, while the remaining minority are sufficiently dense to be comprised of iron and silicate only. @Dressing2015 measured the mass of Kepler-93 b ($\rpl=1.478\pm0.019$, $\mpl=4.02\pm0.68$) and determined that Kepler-93 b and the other known rocky planets (Kepler-78 b, Kepler-36 b, Kepler-10 b, and Corot-7 b) all have masses and radii that can be explained with an iron-silicate composition. By contrast, KOI-273 b [$\rpl=1.82 \pm 0.10\rearth$, $\mpl=5.46\pm2.50 \mearth$ @Gettel2015] is too big to be rocky and requires a small volatile envelope. @Wolfgang2015 used a hierarchical Bayesian model to explore the diversity of planet mass, density, and composition as a function of planet radius. They found that planets smaller than 1.5  are typically rocky, whereassuccessfully obtained high-precision RVs of [*Kepler*]{} stars in the past [@Marcy2014; @Dressing2015]. Notably, two teams used each spectrograph to independently measure the RV signal from the low-mass planet Kepler-78 b. @Howard2013rocky obtained a mass of $1.69\pm0.41 \mearth$ for Kepler-78 b, and @Pepe2013 obtained a mass of $1.86\pm0.32$. The independent detections of the RV signal in both spectrometers, and the agreement in the amplitude of that signal, demonstrate that both the HIRES and HARPS-N spectrometers are capable of accurately and precisely measuring low-amplitude RV signals.

Ground-based RV follow-up of Kepler-10 has been ongoing since Kepler-10 b and Kepler-10 c were discovered. B11 presented 52 RVs obtained on Keck-HIRES in 2009–2010, the first seasons after Kepler-10 b and c were discovered, and D14 presented 148 RVs obtained on TNG-HARPS-N that span the

We fix the inclination $i=90^\circ$ and longitude of ascending node $\Omega = 0^\circ$ for all planets, for simplicity.

The various dynamical solutions for KOI-72.X yield $m_X$ between 1-7$\mearth$. Without being able to choose the correct dynamical solution, we cannot pinpoint the mass of non-transiting planet candidate. However, the masses that best fit the TTVs and RVs are consistent with the population of low-mass, small planets discovered by [*Kepler*]{} and $\eta$-Earth surveys.

The family of solutions for KOI-72.X all yield similar masses for planet c (13.5-15 ). This is likely because (1) the mass of KOI-72.X is small, meaning that it contributes little to the RVs, (2) planet c cannot create its own TTVs, and so the presence of TTVs should not be correlated with planet mass. For Kepler-10 c, modeling the TTVs with


probability corresponds to scenarios in which the planet is sufficiently dense to have a stony-iron composition (comprised of an admixture iron and silicates alone). Since Kepler-10 c’s measured density necessitates that the planet contains a volatile complement that contributes to the transit depth, the planetary composition is inconsistent with a “solid" or “rocky" makeup. The nature of Kepler-10 c’s volatiles is ambiguous; the planet could have a H/He envelope contributing less than a fraction of a percent by mass to the planet, or a water envelope contributing a few tens of percent of the planet mass. The measured mass and radius of Kepler-10 c are consistent with a “water-world" composition; less than 0.95% of the Kepler-10 c mass-radius posterior PDF spills into a low density regime wherein anmass fractions $M_{\rm Fe, core}/M_p=0.44^{+0.15}_{-0.19}$ (compared to $0.17\pm0.12$ based on both HARPS-N and HIRES).

Insights on successful observing strategies for Kepler follow-up
----------------------------------------------------------------

The source of the discrepancy between the HIRES and HARPS-N RVs is unknown. However, the apparent time-variability of $K_b$ and $K_c$ on both instruments suggests that a time-correlated noise (or astrophysical signal) confounds both data sets on timescales of a summer observing season. This time-correlated property could be from stellar rotation and the stellar magnetic cycle or from an additional planet in the system. The most effective way to combat this time-correlated noise is to increase the quantity and baseline of observations of this star. This strategy of employing a long observing baseline compared to time-correlated noise influences should be employed on other stars with low-mass planets to


2 seasons (2009-2010). They assumed that both planets had circular orbits. They obtained masses of $m_b = 4.56\pm1.23 ~\mearth$, and an upper limit for planet c, $m_c < 20 ~\mearth$. D14 used 148 RVs from TNG HARPS-N that were timed at the quadratures of planet c, and spanned 2 seasons (2012–2013). They assumed that both planets had circular orbits. They obtained $m_b = 3.3\pm0.49~\mearth$, a measurement $1\sigma$ lower than the B11 mass for Kepler-10 b, and a mass measurement for planet c of $M_c = 17.2\pm1.9~\mearth$. Analyzing the 52 literature RVs plus 20 new RVs from HIRES, we obtain $m_b = 4.61\pm0.83\mearth$ and $m_c = 5.69^{+3.19}_{-2.90}\mearth$, which are $1.1\sigma$ and $3.1\sigma$ away from the values in D14, respectively.

      As the Supreme Court noted in Gizoni, the LHWCA “specifically provides
that any amounts paid to an employee for the same injury, disability, or death
pursuant to the Jones Act shall be credited against any liability imposed by
the LHWCA.” 502 U.S. at 91 (citing 33 U.S.C. § 903(e)). We have previously
held that the reverse is also true; i.e., that a shipowner-employer who
voluntarily pays LHWCA benefits to an injured employee and is later found
liable under the Jones Act is entitled to “a credit against those items of
damages . . . that bear a reasonable relation to the items of loss compensated
by workmen’s compensation benefits.” Massey v. Williams-McWilliams, Inc.,
414 F.2d 675, 679-80 (5th Cir. 1969). The question presented  We perceive no sound reason why an insurer’s right of reimbursement
against a Jones Act recovery should be different from its right of
reimbursement against a § 905(b) recovery. Arguably, the insurer has an even
stronger equitable claim to repayment from a Jones Act recovery. A worker
who recovers against a third party under § 905(b) is necessarily covered by the
LHWCA and therefore entitled to compensation benefits; nevertheless, the
worker must still use the proceeds of the recovery to repay the employer or
insurer for the benefits. On the other hand, a worker who succeeds in a Jones
Act claim is necessarily a seaman, and therefore not entitled to LHWCA
benefits. It would be particularly unfair to deny the insurer the right to recover
the benefits it has paid in such a situation. 6

Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Oxford, after the city of Oxford:

 (i) was a 26-gun fifth-rate ship launched at Deptford in 1656. The ship was given to Colonel Sir Thomas Modyford, the Governor of Jamaica, in March 1667 and, under command of Sir Henry Morgan, was blown up by accident somewhere off Île à Vache, off the coast of Haïti in 1669.
 (ii) was a 54-gun fourth-rate ship launched in 1674. She was rebuilt in 1702, and again in 1727 when she was rearmed to 50 guns. The vessel was broken up in 1758.

At the minimum, one TCID corresponds to a single infectious virion, but it is more likely that on average more than one virion is needed to establish an infected cell culture. We estimate that 1−100 virions correspond to one TCID. Next, virions/ml of nasal wash need to be converted to virions/ml at the site of infection, which for uncomplicated influenza infections is mainly the upper respiratory tract. Not much information is available; based on circumstantial data (\[[@pcbi-0030240-b037],[@pcbi-0030240-b038]\]), we estimate that the concentration at the site of infection is higher by a factor of 1−100. Finally, the volume of the upper respiratory tract has been estimatedreaches a certain level, symptoms start to appear and shedding increases. For high viral load, shedding will likely saturate. We can model this using a sigmoid function, such as a four-parameter Hill function given by

A magisterial collection of stories—each as rich---
abstract: 'We present a novel method to reconstruct complex network from partial information. We assume to know the links only for a subset of the nodes and to know some non-topological quantity (fitness) characterising every node. The missing links are generated on the basis of the latter quantity according to a fitness model calibrated on the subset of nodes for which links are known. We measure the quality of the reconstruction of several topological properties, such as the network density and the degree distribution as a function of the size of the initial subset of nodes. Moreover, we also study the resilience of the network to distress propagation. We first test the method on ensembles of synthetic networks generated with the Exponential Random Graph model which allows to


to minimize [@degryse2007interbank; @lelyveld2006interbank]. The hypothesis that the network is fully connected is a strong limitation of the ME algorithm, since empirical networks are characterized by heterogeneous degree. Moreover, [@mastromatteo2011reconstruction] has shown how the “dense reconstruction” leads to an underestimation of the systemic risk. They also provide a new algorithm that allows to minimize Kullback-Leibler divergence obtaining a matrix with an arbitrary level of heterogeneity under a maximum value depending on constraints. Their algorithm provides a “sparse reconstruction” that is more reliable than the dense one. Nevertheless it leaves open the question of what value of heterogeneity would be appropriate to choose, since the density of connections must be specified ex-ante and it is not recovered by the algorithm. In this paper we introduce a new general method,of the network can be expressed in terms of appropriate compositions of the linking probabilities $p_{ij}$ for every $i$ and $j$. For instance, we can write the degree $k_i$ as $$\langle k_i \rangle = \sum_{j\,(\neq i\,)=1}^{N}p_{ij} ; \label{eq:k_i vs p_ij}$$ the average nearest neighbor degree $K^{nn}_i$ as $$\langle k_{i}^{nn}\rangle=\frac{\sum_{j\neq i}\sum_{k\neq j}p_{ij}p_{jk}}{\langle k_{i}\rangle} ;$$ and the clustering coefficient $C_i$ as $$\langle C_{i}\rangle=\frac{\sum_{j\neq i}\sum_{k\neq j,i}p_{ij}p_{jk}p_{ki}}{\langle k_{i}\rangle\left[\langle k_{i}\rangle-1\right]}.$$ In the limit of small values of fitnesses (and therefore small connectivity), $x_i$ is proportional to the *desired degree* of the node $i$. Indeed, in this limit we can assume $\langle k_i \rangle \simeq \sum_j x_ix_j \propto x_i$.

Bootstrapping Method {#sec:bootstrapping-method}
====================

The estimation of the linking probability $p_{ij}$ between node $i$ and node $j$, $p_{ij}$ is the initial step in order to develop a network


of choosing an ERGM ensemble $\Omega$ compatible with the constraints given by the fitness. Once $\Omega$ is determined (it is univocally defined by the set of $\{x_i\}$), we can use the average $\langle X \rangle_{\Omega}$ as a good estimation for $x\,(G_0)$. Within this framework, the question is which ensemble $\Omega$, belonging to the class ERGM, is the most probable to extract the real network $G_0$, knowing only the partial information $\{y_i\}$. Since we know $\{y_i\}$ , i.e. the rescaled fitness values (a non topological property of the network), the problem becomes to find the most likely value of $z$. For this reason we use the notation $\Omega(z)$ for the desired ensemble.

Notice that if we knew not only $\{y_i\}$ but the entire topology of the network, $z$ could benetwork causing losses to the other countries. The DR captures the impact $I_i$ of the shock to each node $i$.

We compute the DebtRank DR of a single node (due to a shock hitting a single node at a time), and the group debtrank GDR of the ensemble (due to an initial shock hitting all the nodes simultaneously) using an algorithm described in the Methods section of [@battiston2012debtrank] that consists in computing a feedback centrality from the matrix of the weights, given an initial shock $\psi$ (to one or more nodes) that is carried out by a variable $h_i$ *impact* specific to the method. During the calculation of this feedback centrality we use several values of the impact rescaling factor $0 < \alpha < 1  $ to propagate


for the weights, the bootstrap method can go

4.  Bootstrap the networks with networks of size $n < N $ using homogeneous weights (computed as average of the weights of the only nodes that we start from in the simulation), compute the average GDR on 50 bootstrapped networks with homogeneous weights. Repeat the operation 100 times changing the starting set of nodes during the generation of the 50 networks, obtaining for each $n$ an average value with error (blue dots).

5.  In the non homogeneous case (green dots) bootstrap the networks using weights according to a gravity model, where the weight of the link is the product of the GDPs of each node. To add an error, a “perturbation”, on a such network we estimate empirically from theplot of $W_{ij}$ vs $GDP_i \cdot GDP_j$ the average variation of the weight $W_{ij}$ in function of the GDPs product. We then alter the corresponding adjacency matrix $W'_{ij}$ imposing, for each weight, a random normal error: $w'_{ij} = w_{ij} + \sigma N(0,1)$ where $\sigma$ is a standard deviation computed on $w_{ij}$ for the corresponding fixed value of $GDP_i \cdot GDP_j$. The new perturbed weight matrix is then transformed to maintain the row stochasticity.

Because of their abilities many Hovawarts were used in the German war effort and perished. By 1945 only a few remained. Enthusiasm for the breed remained and in 1947, Otto Schramm and some fellow enthusiasts in Coburg formed a new club, the Rassezuchtverein für Hovawart-Hunde Coburg which is still in existence today. In 1964 the German Kennel Club recognised thebreathtaking and proves to be a lifetime experience.

Q:

Can a node app connect / write to MongoDB while being run as PM2 service?

I have this Node app here, which makes a request to an api to get some stock data, loops through that stock data and then writes it to a Mongo DB every 5 minutes. I am running it on a Digital Ocean server with PM2 as a service. However, after letting it run a for a day I don't see any data in the DB. I don't see any signs that the service wasn't running or had any errors so I'm wondering if maybe it is because a PM 2 service can't write to the DB? Maybe a ports issue? Any guidance would be awesome!

constThe premium trains introduced to decongest traffic this festive season has not found many takers because of high pricing. Bookings started on October 5 and 6. As many as 300-350 berths in the second AC and third AC coaches are lying vacant in each of the trains. Commuters are upset that there is no rationale behind the pricing of the tickets.

For instance, a third AC ticket from Chennai to Coimbatore costs Rs. 3,032 and a second AC ticket is priced at Rs. 3177. The difference is a mere Rs. 145. On a normal day, the same third AC ticket would cost Rs. 802. A flight ticket to Coimbatore, if booked a month in advance, would have taken away Rs. 1,900 from the commuter’s wallet.

activity associated to sleep bruxism. The rationale for CES consists in the inhibition of the masticatory muscles responsible of bruxism, applying a low-level electrical stimulation on the muscles when they become active, i.e. during the bruxism episode. Two experimental studies have applied CES in patients with signs and symptoms of sleep bruxism and myofascial pain, and found a reduction of the EMG episodes per hour of sleep while using CES, but with no changes in pain and muscle tension scores \[[@CR32], [@CR33]\]. Raphael et al. confirmed these results in a group of women with sleep bruxism and myofascial pain, but in addition showed that the efficacy of CES in reducing nocturnal bruxism events was confined to active periods and not after discontinuing the device \[[@CR43]\].

Microvascular anastomoses. An evaluation of laser-assisted technique.
The carbon dioxide milliwatt laser was used to perform microvascular anastomoses in 23 rat femoral arteries and 21 femoral veins. This technique was compared with conventionally sutured controls and then evaluated histologically at intervals of three to four days and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively. Patency rates in both methods, for arteries and veins, were comparable, confirming the feasibility of laser-assisted microvascular anastomoses. Moreover, the major benefit of the laser procedure was to allow for fewer sutures, thereby diminishing a foreign body reaction.after which develop horizontally along the metal deck railing fifteen' in equally Instructions from the corners.

Do that: Due to the fact wisteria will carry on to sprout immediately after it has been Minimize, it should be Minimize back early during the year, cutting sprouts every single handful of months until the fall. This will quit expansion of present vines and forestall seed manufacturing. Any time you do really have to prune, just Slash climbing or trailing vines as close to the basis as possible.

On Thursday, the state’s Court of Appeals found Sweet Cakes by Melissa owners Melissa and Aaron Klein illegally discriminated against a same-sex couple in February 2013.

The Kleins had cited religious objections for not wanting to bake the cake, but the court ruled the refusal was in violation of an Oregon law which restricts businesses from discriminating based on sexual orientation.

The bake shop, located in Gresham, was forced to close under intense criticism, but donations allowed the couple to operate the business out of their home up until October 2016.

Analyzing the persistent categories 3 months post-intervention, the severe persistent category decreased from 73 (23.3%) to 32 (10.2%), while the moderate persistent category decreased from 47 (15%) to 31 (9.9%). Analysis of QOL scores revealed patients had significantly less daytime and nighttime coughing/wheezing, and improved life activities (effect sizes: 0.83, 0.68, 0.77, respectively), including family life (0.74). *Conclusion:*This study provided an educational program that is safe, efficacious, and cost effective in changing the approach and delivery of medical care to patients with chronic asthma treated in the ED. This resulted in behavioral changes of physicians, caregivers parents, and asthmatic children, and improved CM adherence, clinical status, and QOL. The ED offers a teachable moment.

However, since eosinophil lysates exhibited very potent cytotoxic activity, the specific contribution of GrB and perforin in eosinophil anti-neoplastic activity and the mechanism involved in eosinophil-cancer interactions requires further exploration.

*Introduction:*Despite its prevalence, little iswas to determine the effect and mechanism of exposure to chlamydial products in early life on the development of allergic responses when the mice become adults. *Methods:*Newborn C57BL/6 mice were immunized intraperitoneally (i.p.) or subcutaneously (s.c) with various doses (1 × 10^4^-1 × 10^7^inclusion forming units) of UV-killed *Chlamydia trachomatis*mouse pneumonitis (MoPn) at different ages (5, 14, 21 and 28 days of age) and sensitized with OVA *in alum*one month later. The mice were challenged intranasally with OVA at two weeks after sensitization and tested for pulmonary allergic inflammation and immune reaction. DCs were isolated from UV-killed MoPn-treated (iDc) and mock-treated mice (nDc) at different time points (1 week or 4 weeks after treatment of UV-killed MoPn) and examined for surface markers by flow cytometry and RT-PCR, and


1995 Manitoba birth cohort on the basis of physician visits or hospitalizations for asthma (ICD9 code 493), or receipt of asthma prescription medications (eg, β-agonists, inhaled corticosteroids/cromones, montelukast). A case-control sample of cohort children was recruited in 2003/04. The positive predictive value (PPV) and Youden\'s Index for several variations of the database definition in the preceding year were determined in case-control children against a selected gold standard: asthma diagnosis by a pediatric allergist. *Results:*Clinical assessment, PC20 methacholine and symptom data were available for 556 children aged 8 to 9 years in the case-control sample. 58% of children aged 8 had prescription medications or health care visit for asthma in 2002, 68% had allergist-diagnosed asthma, 74% had a positive methacholine challenge test (PC20 \< 8 mg/mL) and 55% hadother potential confounders, birth length ≥90th percentile was inversely associated with any wheeze at 4 years (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.44-0.92) and late-onset wheeze (at least one episode at age 4 but no episode up to age 2) (OR 0.40, 95% CI 0.21-0.77). The relationships were obvious in the children without sensitization at age 4. Body mass index ≥90th percentile at age 4 was positively associated with early transient wheeze in nonsensitized children (OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.22-3.24). *Conclusion:*Enhanced fetal growth with large birth length may play a protective role in non-atopic late-onset wheeze.

===============

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common, chronic, functional gastrointestinal disorder, characterized by visceral hypersensitivity (VH) or abdominal discomfort, as well as altered bowel habits, without obvious anatomical or biochemical abnormalities. Infectious enteritis was identified as a risk factor for the development of IBS in the 1960s, and there is growing evidence that IBS is often followed by acute gastroenteritis, a condition termed "postinfectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS)" \[[@B1a]--[@B3]\].

Augmentation of visceral afferent sensation (nociception) may be a major cause of VH in PI-IBS. VH is associated with altered bowel movements, increased mucosal secretion, and a lowered sensory threshold to colorectal distention in humans and animals. It has been hypothesized that VH is caused by triggering events, such as injury and inflammation, with the ensuing release of


saline solution. EA treatment at bilateral ST36 and bilateral BL25 were applied on rats after PAR2-AP enema (once daily for 15 min, five times a week for a total of two weeks). Control rats were fixed at the same time without any treatment. After each intervention, AWR tests were administered to evaluate VH. Finally, rat colon tissues were isolated to determine the protein and mRNA expression levels of PAR2, CGRP, SP, and TPSP by immunofluorescence, western blot, and real-time PCR. The experimental workflow is shown in [Figure 1](#fig1){ref-type="fig"}.

2.2. Animals {#sec2.2}
------------

A total of 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats (180-220 g, aged 12-14 weeks) were obtained from the Experimental Animal Center of Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, China. All animals were housed at an ambient temperature of 22°C and relative humidity ofat 95°C; amplification for 40 cycles, with denaturation for 10s at 95°C, annealing for 34s at 52°C, and extension for 34s at 60°C. Primers were as follows: TPSP-F (TGGCCATCAAGTACATGTTCG), TPSP-R (CGGTGCTCGGATGTAGAGCAGG), CGRP-F (CTGGAAGTTCTTTCCTTTTCTG), CGRP-R (GATCTCTTTGGGAAATGACAC), SP-F (ATGAAAATCCTCGTGGCGGT), SP-R (CAGCATCCCGTTTGCCCATT), PAR2-F (CACCACCTGTCACGATGTGCT), and PAR2-R (CCCGGGCTCAGTAGGAGGTTTTAACAC).

2.11. Statistical Analysis {#sec2.11}
--------------------------

Data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and plotted using GraphPad Prism 5.0 (GraphPad Software, CA, USA). All data are expressed as mean ± SEM (the standard error of the mean). Statistical comparisons for parametric data were carried out using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by LSD tests. The statistical differences of nonparametric values among groups were identified using Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA followed by the rank-based Mann-Whitney U-test.*P*\< 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

PAR2 activation. As shown in Figures [6(a)](#fig6){ref-type="fig"}, [6(b)](#fig6){ref-type="fig"}, and [6(c)](#fig6){ref-type="fig"}, compared with the M group, the M + EA group displayed significantly decreased expression of both SP mRNA and protein. A similar trend is observed in the M + AP group and the M + AP + EA group, with the SP protein and mRNA expression levels being lower in the M + AP + EA group than in the M + AP group. These results show that SP protein and mRNA expression levels are higher in PI-IBS rats than in controls and that EA inhibits SP activation.

Rephrased question:
Is there any rule when cyclic AC should NOT be used?
Or perhaps, are there known cases, when cyclic AC might actually be better than linear AC?
Thanks in advance :-)

A:

If the cyclic autocorrelation output has the properties you need in your application (e.g., it's peak-to-average ratio is high enough for picking out the peaks), then it's probably okay to substitute the cyclical correlation for the linear one. For example, consider a length 7 maximal-length sequence:
$$
\{+1, -1, -1, +1, +1, +1, -1\}
$$
The cyclical and acyclical autocorrelation functions are plotted below.

Notice that both functions have a peak value of 7. The acyclical autocorrelation function has a largest off-peak magnitude of 3, whereas the cyclical autocorrelation functionavailable in North Carolina while the home station spotlights home-style favorites like hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches. There is also a selection of vegetarian and gluten-free options.

The international station features global cuisine with a different country represented each week. Chef Varghese chose to kick off the culinary world tour Thursday with Thai food.

“We have Thai by Thai,” he said, adding that the food was prepared by one of his staffers who is from Thailand.

While Varghese has plenty of experience with international cuisine, he welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with members of his staff, who represent five countries: China, India, Poland, Thailand and the United States.

Having such a diverse crew, he said, adds to the flare of the dining hall, which is adjacent to the Global Neighborhood, Elon’s innovative


strikes you right away,” he said. “I think it’s a good change of pace; it’s completely different than any other dining hall on campus.”

As they look ahead, Varghese said one of the challenges will be to bring authentic foods from around the world—and teach the staff accordingly—while finding a balance between variety of flavors and people’s taste.

“The anticipation is what causes the most anxiety,” Gazda said. “We only can get better. There is no such a thing as complacency at Elon.”access to all the relevant data in connection with the issuing of visas. Thus the examination of applications is being simplified while, at the same time, the issuing of visas will provide greater security in future thanks to the use of biometric identifiers; that is, photograph and fingerprints. The compromise struck between rapporteur Mr Lax and the Council takes account of Parliament's original position and also has the support of the broad majority of my group.
I should like to take this opportunity to reiterate my sincere thanks to Mr Lax for his commitment and his excellent cooperation over the last three years on this very complex dossier, which puts European visa policy on a new footing.

on behalf of the PSE Group. - Mr President, I would like


again, and to thank the Commission for making sure that we have that principle enshrined here. I have nothing more to say other than to thank my staff and to thank your staff - and particularly Renaud, who is in the public gallery. Without our staff, we could never do the job that we do so well. It has been a brilliant three-year love affair and, like most short-term love affairs, I am pleased to see it coming to an end.
Sarah Ludford
on behalf of the ALDE Group. - Mr President, my regulation on biometric visas is now being incorporated in this new visa code, so I feel I have a little bit of ownership of it. It will work with the Visa Information System, for which I wasvisas with a number of countries, and I am placing a great deal of hope in the development of this strategy in order to facilitate the granting of visas as far as possible, in particular to young people from third countries, because I think that we have every interest in facilitating the entry of young people into Europe.
Thank you for this good approach, which has enabled us to conclude this text and thus to bring a new quality to visa policy that will be very much appreciated.
President

in the Dome's history, as KAT-TUN became the first Japanese artist to hold four consecutive days at the stadium since it opened in 1988. Other Japanese artists, such as SMAP, X Japan and Ayumi Hamasaki have had three consecutive days at the Dome. The Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson have played multiple days at the Dome, but they were not consecutive.

On June 4, KAT-TUN released their third album, KAT-TUN III: Queen of Pirates.

On December 3, KAT-TUN released "White X'mas", their first Christmas single.

On December 21, it was announced that KAT-TUN would release a new single "One Drop" as a tie-in theme song to Kamenashi's new drama, Kami no Shizuku, just two months after their "White X'mas" single. The release consisted of three versions: Limited Edition w/DVD, Regular Editiondiphospho mannose pyrophosphorylase. If a NADPH regeneration system is present it can include a catalytic amount of NADP, isopropanol in about 1 percent to about 10 percent, preferably about 2 percent to 4 percent w/v of the reaction system, and an alcohol dehydrogenase.
A number of chemical methods for synthesizing oligosaccharides are also disclosed herein. One method includes the production of a glycosyl 1- or 2-phosphate by reacting a blocked glycosyl ring having a hydroxyl at the anomeric position (1- or 2-position) with a trivalent phosphitylation reagent to yield a blocked glycosyl 1- or 2-phosphite-substituted ring. The blocked phosphite is oxidized to form a corresponding phosphate that is utilized in an enzymatic reaction. The glycosyl ring can include a galactosyl, glucosyl, fucosyl, N-acetylglucosyl and mannosyl as well as other


benzyl, silyl or alkyl blocking group;
R3 is independently —CH3, —OR2, —CH2OR2, —CH(OR2)—CH(OR2), or —CH(OR2)—CH(OR2)—CH(OR2);                R4 is hydrogen (H), carboxyl or C1-C5 or benzyl carboxylate ester; and
n is 1 or 2.
In a preferred group of compounds of formula I, R4 is hydrogen so that formula I becomes formula II, below, wherein R1, R2, R3, X and n are as before defined.

One group of especially preferred compounds are those wherein the monosaccharide is a six-membered ring, R4 is H, and each X is oxygen such as mannose or fucose. Preferred are compounds wherein R1 is benzyl and R2 is benzyl or acetyl. Examples of preferred intermediates includealkyl, acyloxy, alkoxy, halo, glycosyl, and the like, glycal molecules, a glycosyl ring compound in which the ring oxygen with S or NH and their alkyl, oxygenated or acyl derivatives, attachment of the anomeric carbon to carbohydrates or organic molecules, changes in the orientation and positions of glycosidic linkages or the substitution of enantiomers of the natural sugars.
The phrase “stoichiometric proportion” refers to amounts of starting product that are present in a direct proportion to the reaction products. A reagent is in stoichiometric proportion to the end products because it typically is used in the reactions producing the end product and is not regenerated during that process. Stoichiometric proportions typically approximate a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of starting product to end product.
The phrase “trivalent phosphitylating reagent” refers to
