They also called on President Putin to establish a policy to allow religious
communities to appoint personnel, saying that the rejection of visa
applications "undermined the rights of individuals from these faiths to
practise their religion".

Since then, Forum 18 says it has come across a further 12 cases, as well as
another seven previously undocumented expulsions occurring before November
2002.

The Moscow-based Evangelical Association for Spiritual Renewal said 2003 had
been a difficult year, because the official body handling visa applications had
changed from the Foreign Ministry to the Interior Ministry. By 2004, however,
the situation had calmed down.

the picture for Somalis living outside Somalia's boundaries, especially in neighbouring countries, since it discursively implicates Somali ethnicity with Somalian national identity and politics. Indeed, Somalis in Ethiopia fought intermittently for decades against the central government, and were frequently backed by the Somalian government in their endeavours until its 1991 collapse.

Ethnically-mobilized insurgencies fought for regional autonomy in Ethiopia leading up to the overthrow of the socialist regime in 1991, which led to Ethiopia's major ethnic groups being explicitly recognized as separate nations in the 1995 constitution. This instituted a multi-national federal system (often referred to as ethnic federalism) which, in one sense, created the discursive possibility for a set of hyphenated ethno-nationalities, including an Ethiopian-Somali nation distinct from Somalian Somalis, considered in historical context in the following section.1995--2016 (1991 includes all migrant arrivals prior to 1991)Fig. 3Estimated cumulative migrant populations from countries in the Horn of Africa, 1991--2016

Populations from the Horn tended to concentrate in a few Canadian metropolitan areas. As of 2016, Toronto was the predominant location of settlement for Somalis, followed by Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Winnipeg. The order for Ethiopians is the same. These distributions are essentially steady from 2006 to 2016, although populations of each group in these core locations increased (Figs. [4](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"} and [5](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"}).Fig. 4Somali populations in Canada\'s Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs), 2006 and 2016Fig. 5Ethiopian populations in Canada\'s CMAs, 2006 and 2016

Estimates suggest many fewer people reporting major Ethiopian-origin ethnic identities---Amhara (1530 in 2016, including estimates of single and multiple ethnicities), Harari (660), Oromo (3350), and Tigrayan (2155)---as reporting their ethnicity

Unlike ACS data from the US, Canada's data include estimates of first-, second-, and third-generation populations for each of these groups. For 2006, data on ethnicity and generational status available on Canada's census website at the time of writing were not based on the same geography as data on country of birth. Therefore, the percentage that the first generation comprised for each ethnic group across Canada as a whole was used to estimate the proportion of first-generation Somalis to individuals born in Somalia. Estimates of second and third generations for each group grew significantly from 2006 to 2016; nevertheless, the number of first-generation Somalis continued to outnumber the Somalia-born population at a ratio that corroborates estimates in the US that up to 20--25% ofof Oromos grew by 45, or 10.6%. The corresponding increase in the single-ethnicity first-generation Oromo population was 100 (39.2%), while the multiple-ethnicity first-generation Oromo population decreased by 15 (8.8%). The estimated population of Ethiopians grew by 2000 (24.4%), single by 1745 (25.8%), and multiple by 250 (17.2%). These trends reflect the broader patterns discernible in the data, though given the small sample size there is need for substantiation in future research.

Outside of Toronto, the metropolitan areas with the largest first-generation populations reporting multiple Ethiopian ethnicity and multiple Somali ethnicity are Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Hamilton. Among these, Edmonton is notable for the growth of its estimated multiple-ethnicity populations from 2011 to 2015 (Figs. [11](#Fig11){ref-type="fig"} and [12](#Fig12){ref-type="fig"}). Estimates indicate that both the Ethiopian and Somali populations in Edmonton grew


Given that diaspora groups play important roles---whether it is supporting development or supporting insurgency---policymakers should adjust to the mutual shaping of diaspora and homeland political mobilization.

Third, in relation to broader issues of migration and diaspora research, given the speed of travel and immediate nature of communications that facilitate relationships and mobilization of groups in various places, a view towards multi-sited research is essential. Even if time and resources constrain conducting fieldwork in multiple locations, at least a consideration of the multi-sited connections and potential futures of diaspora groups is crucial. It seems challenging enough to take into account the complicated contexts of reception in migration research and to study diaspora populations outside of their 'homelands,' and in-depth consideration of ongoing changes in home-region politics is in many casessupport members coupled between the outer frame member and the inner frame member, and a plurality of electronic device retainers adapted to couple to the modular card cage and to hold each of the one or more electronic circuit cards in direct physical and thermal contact with one of the one or more support members.

beam in a different direction to unaddressed mirrors. In this manner, the reflected beam is patterned according to the addressing pattern of the matrix-addressable mirrors. The required matrix addressing can be performed using suitable electronics. In both of the situations described hereabove, the patterning device can comprise one or more programmable mirror arrays. More information on mirror arrays as here referred to can be seen, for example, from U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,296,891 and 5,523,193, and PCT publications WO 98/38597 and WO 98/33096. In the case of a programmable mirror array, the support structure may be embodied as a frame or table, for example, which may be fixed or movable as required.
Another example of a patterning device is a programmable LCD array. An example of such a construction isaccurate than using a grinder because it will always give off sparks of the same length for the same sample. The compressed air applies in essence the same "pressure" each time. This makes observations of the spark length a much more reliable characteristic for comparison.

Automated spark testing
Automated spark testing has been developed to remove the reliance upon operator skill and experience, thereby increasing reliability. The system relies upon spectroscopy, spectrometry, and other methods to "observe" the spark pattern. It has been found that this system can determine the difference between two materials that give off sparks that are indistinguishable to the human eye.

plastic crates has tons of benefits.

A lot of online stores are selling various types and size of crates so you see you have tons of options to choose from. Keep in mind that these storage boxes come in different size and colors hence you can choose any type you want that is within your means and preference. If you want to store items like baked products, raw ingredients, catering items and more there are also food grade containers. For those items that are perishable it would be best to go for ventilated containers. The circulation of air is also enhanced in these containers since they are perforated. It also regulates that temperature of the products.

Why Use Plastic Crates

As mentioned earlier, there are tons of reasons why people arebelow highlights, and it will dawn on you that there are numerous advantages that you can reap from the use of voicemail in your business.

Start by selecting a professional service provider whose services are comprehensive such that they will cater for your diverse business needs. It wise to try having a simple call conversation with one of the staff of the service provider, so as to understand what they actually offer and how your company can benefit from using the professional team. To be confident that you are hiring the right expert for your business pick the one offering full-service support.

Here is what any business can reap from using a good voicemail system.

Most importantly, your business will start running day and night. May be, this is one of


the calls which are potentially imperative. This is a wise way of the staff dealing with the most pressing concerns because some customers think that their concerns should be addressed immediately.

There are also customers who prefer leaving voice mail instead of having their conversation with the client’s care. The reason behind this is they want to address their problem directly without getting diverted in the conversation.

In everyday business everyone has to rest his/her body through sleeping which is said to be the most significant activity in a human being. The kind of bed that one rests in the form of his or her mattress can attribute to the kind of sleep one gets holding all other things constant. Comfort in any bed is offered by a mattress whichof a porphyrin in photodynamic therapy is disclosed for example in U.S. Pat. No. 5,776,966 and WO9324127, which describe a method for selectively reducing the level of active leukocytes in blood or bone marrow, by administering a green porphyrin, and then subjecting the blood or bone marrow to radiation absorbed by those porphyrins. This therapy is designed especially for people suffering from autoimmune diseases and patients infected with HIV. Metal protoporphyrins, including cobalt protoporphyrin, are disclosed in patent application US2012/0039987 for the use for anti-inflammatory diseases of the nervous system, atherosclerosis and diabetes. Cobalt porphyrins have been proposed for use in the treatment of obesity (U.S. Pat. No. 5,149,697, U.S. Pat. No. 5,192,757). Porphyrins have not yet been combined with the process of mobilization of cells.

Determinants of handicap 1 and 3 years after a stroke.
A total of 361 consecutive admissions to hospital with acute stroke were followed up to examine the determinants of handicap 1 year and 2-3 years later. Handicap was measured using the London Handicap Scale, and data were collected on initial stroke severity, disability, mood and sociodemographic variables. Ninety-five of 170 survivors returned handicap questionnaires at 1 year, 102 of 149 survivors at 2-3 years, and 58 on both occasions. Mean handicap score decreased slightly between 1 and 2-3 years (45-48 on a 0-100 scale, 95% confidence interval for difference -1 to +7, p = 0.09). At both 1 and 2-3 years handicap was associated with pre-stroke disability, 1-year score disability, initial stroke severity and mood. Age and sex wereprimarily by balances of respiration and photosynthesis in the surrounding regional network of marshes and open estuarine waters. Local respiration, while measurable, was of relatively minor importance in determining oxygen concentrations in tidal floodwaters. Water residence time on the marshes could explain differences in oxygen concentration between the runoff-influenced and control sites.

The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival

John Vaillant

Siberia, 1997, a man-eater, a poacher, and Yuri Trush, the lead tracker, on the trail of nature's greatest masterpiece gone rogue. It's gripping stuff in a frozen fairytale landscape and it comes to a dizzying climax deep in the Russian taiga forest. But the book offers so much more. It's fabulously informative, historically and ecologically, and concludes with a refreshingly realistic discussion about the problems of protecting tigers when they are worth more dead than alive. Together with Steven Rinella’s equally exceptional American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon, for me it defines the best of modern nature writing because it bravely explores the reality of nature in the 21st Century, rather than only painting ravishing portraits of it.


mutant constructs were tested for their promoter activity in EL4 cells. As figure [2](#F2){ref-type="fig"} shows, mutations in the CCAAT or κE2 binding site resulted in minor reductions in reporter activity. In contrast, the mutation in the Ets binding site completely abolished the full induction of transcription and reduced the luciferase activity to the basal level.

The Ets binding site is recognized by Ets-1 protein
---------------------------------------------------

The above experiments demonstrate that a potential Ets binding site on the CD5 promoter is necessary for the full induction of transcription. Since Ets-1 is lymphoid-specific, and its expression levels in T cell subsets correlate with the CD5 expression levels, we focused our study on Ets-1 interaction with this Ets binding site.

For the following experiments we used an Ets-1 expression plasmid (pEVRF-ets-1) which encodes Ets-1 proteinmurine CD5+ B cells, M12, were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) 1:1 fetal calf serum and horse serum, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 0.05 mM streptomycin, and 50 nM 2-mercaptoethanol. All cell cultures were maintained at 37°C with 7% CO~2~.

Transient transfections
-----------------------

EL4 or M12 cells were grown to 1 - 2 × 106 cells per ml, centrifuged and resuspended at a concentration of 107 cells/300 μl in complete RPMI medium. Each aliquot (300 μl) of the cells was electroporated along with 15 μg of reporter constructs and 5 μg of PON405, in a Bio-Rad gene pulser at 250 volts with 960 μD capacitance. The electroporated cells were diluted in 3 ml of complete RPMI 1640 medium and maintained at 37°C for 36-48 hours. At


the time of analysis, 1.5 ml of the transfected cells were transferred to eppendorf tubes, centrifuged and lysed in 320 μl of lysis buffer (60 mM Na2HPO4, 40 mM NaH2PO4, 10 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO4, and 0.1% Triton X-100 at pH7).

Luciferase activity was measured using a luminometer (Analytical Luminescence Laboratory). The β-galactosidase activity in each cell lysate was measured in the 4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-Galactoside (MUG) assay and was used to normalize the luciferase activity analyzed in each cell lysate. The reported values represent the average of three independent transfections, with standard deviation as error bars. Each experiment was repeated at least twice.

Nuclear extract isolation
-------------------------

Nuclear extracts were isolated from EL4 and M12 as follows. The cultured cells were grown to 1-2 × 10^6^ cells/ ml, then collected and hypotonically swollenpromoter, as determined by sequence analysis program from Intelligenetics Corporation. The consensus sequences for the Ets, CD5X, and CD5Y regions are shown in boxes.\
**b: Site-directed mutagenesis analysis showed that CD5Y region is important for basal CD5 transcription**. Three areas in CD5X region (Xmut1, Xmut2, and Xmut3) and two in CD5Y region (Ymut1 and Ymut2) were mutated by site-directed mutagenesis on HincII B construct as described in Materials and Methods. Each mutant construct was cotransfected with pON405 LacZ construct in EL4 cells. Wild-type HincII B and HinfI B constructs were also transfected as controls. Each bar value represents the average of three independent transfections in one experiment, with standard deviation as error bars.\
**c: Site-directed mutagenesis analysis revealed that both the CD5X and CD5Y regions affect overall CD5 expression**. Three

streaming customers in the U.S. are still growing at 10 percent annually, upcoming services from Disney, WarnerMedia, NBCUniversal and others likely will have to rely on international markets if they intend to truly challenge Netflix's dominance. Globally, the so-called over-the-top market will grow 14 percent annually through 2023, according to the research and accounting firm famous in Hollywood for tabulating Oscar votes each year.

Netflix reported in April that it had 149 million subscribers worldwide but acknowledged its growth is slowing due to near-saturation domestically and competition from Amazon, CBS All Access, HBO Now, Hulu and others. "The first-mover advantage in streaming video that Netflix has capitalized on to date continues to be eroded," PwC notes.

The federal financial safety net is intended to protect large financial institutions and their creditors from failure and to reduce the possibility of "systemic risk" to the financial system. However, federal guarantees can encourage imprudent risk-taking, which ultimately may lead to instability in the very system that the safety net is designed to protect.

• A history of emergency government loans to distressed institutions and markets deemed "too big to fail" has created an expectation that certain parts of the financial sector will be protected from losses.

• This government safety net effectively subsidizes risk-taking. Investors that feel protected by the government will be less likely to demand higher yields as compensation for risk, and creditors will feel less urgency to monitor firms that are assumed to


of Minneapolis, and Ron Feldman, the Minneapolis Fed's current head of Supervision, Regulation, and Credit, in their book on the subject (Stern and Feldman 2004). There is no direct way to observe private markets' assessment of firms or activities that are implicitly protected. Moreover, the amount of the subsidy provided by implicit support exists only on the margin and is likely to vary across firms and activities. These characteristics make it difficult to directly identify the effects of TBTF treatment on, for example, the relative performance of large and small banks (Ennis and Malek 2005).

A growing literature has tried to measure the funding advantages of implicitly protected firms (for example, see Garbade 2014). Perhaps the most salient evidence of TBTF lies with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the"automatic stay," a safe harbor treatment that may over-encourage the use of such instruments, thereby enhancing the fragility of the financial system. Policymakers should examine the bankruptcy code for opportunities, such as limiting this exemption, that could reduce the spillovers that result from failing firms when they do not receive government support. This, too, could make bankruptcy — rather than bailouts — the more attractive option for regulators during a crisis (Lacker 2014).

Taking Away the Ability to Conduct Bailouts

To help reduce the possibility that a large firm would have to fail for the government's commitment against bailouts to be demonstrated, an additional option is for policymakers to be "tied to the mast" with explicit rules that limit their ability to intervene.

The Dodd-Frank Act attempted this by scaling back

Something doesn’t add up in Nova Scotia mathematics education. Student math scores in Grade 8 took a significant nosedive, but you would never know it from the reaction.

The 2017-18 test results appeared online two weeks ago. The percentage of Grade 8 students meeting the Grade 8 provincial standard fell to 56 per cent, a six per cent decline since 2015-16. Any and all gains in achievement since 2012-13 were completely erased in the latest set of assessments. The alarming decline not only attracted nary a mention, but got completely lost in the excited school system chatter over province-wide professional development days.

Building cardboard haunted houses, weaving literacy into mathematics, teaching kids to search for patterns, and finding ingenious new ways of sparing kids from the hurt accompanying wrong


answers. Those activities sound flaky, but they were among the hottest topics for teachers at the Oct. 26 PD day of the Mathematics Teachers Association of Nova Scotia.

Why worry about declining math scores when the whole Halifax school system is caught up in a transformative movement? Guest speaker Dr. Sharroky Hollie, flown in from Los Angeles, had the latest answer: “Cultural responsiveness for everyone.”

“Join us on the journey to cultural responsiveness,” he told 5,000 Halifax teachers and staff, in two mass gatherings, and urged them to put their faith in “validating, affirming, building and bridging” in today’s classrooms. What works in reaching marginalized students in L.A. was what we need here in Nova Scotia.

Students of Indigenous ancestry and African Nova Scotian descent are struggling mightily, particularly in mathematics.Colburn v. Upper Darby Township, 838 F.2d 663, 673 (3d Cir.1988)).
Here, it is undisputed that officers within the Egg Harbor City Police Department, including Defendant Baldi, attended training sessions at which they were instructed on firearms and the use of force. Moreover, it is undisputed that all Egg Harbor City officers, including Defendant Baldi, attend an annual three-day seminar in Atlantic County for training and instruction on, among other things, firearms use and safety, defense tactics and reduced light firearms training. In addition to the annual three-day training session, all officers are separately evaluated biannually in firearms safety and use. At all relevant times, Defendant Baldi successfully completed that training.
Plaintiffs here have not presented any evidence from which a reasonable jury could determine that the City of Egg

Plaintiffs here allege the same sort of incidental injury. They offer no proofs as to how Defendant Baldi's actions were directed at the parent-child relationship. Accordingly, the Court will enter summary judgment in favor of Defendants on Plaintiffs' Fourteenth Amendment claims.
IV. CONCLUSION
In light of the foregoing, the Court will grant in part and deny in part the motion for summary judgment, and Plaintiffs' excessive force claims against Defendant Baldi will be permitted to proceed. An appropriate Order will be entered.

As sections of pipe are joined together, the ends of the optical fiber for the adjacent pipe sections must be joined to each other. Although such a sub-sea pipeline provides for fiber optic sensing, it suffers from several shortcomings, which include: (i) increased costs and difficulties in integrating the optical fiber as part of the pipeline sections; and ii) increased deployment times and costs as well as maintenance times and costs associated with ensuring the integrity and operation of the fiber optic couplings between section joints of the

Ark also fails to mention that he attended a satellite campus rather than the more prestigious flagship University Park campus of Penn State, a fact included in an earlier version of this article that appeared on PennLive in September 2013

(http://www.pennlive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2013/09/heres_why_why_more_and_more_college_grads_are_tossing_aside_their_resumes_and_embracing_entrepreneur.html). Regardless of its quality, leaving out the location leads readers to believe he graduated from the main campus.

In this earlier article, Ark describes having chosen to not take two entry-level job options, but instead deciding to become an entrepreneur.

I am surprised and chagrined that this op-ed made it through whatever fact-checking mechanisms exist at Washington Post, when a few moments with Google sufficed to discredit the central claims of the article.

Premature chromosome condensation in human resting peripheral blood lymphocytes without mitogen stimulation for chromosome aberration analysis using specific whole chromosome DNA hybridization probes.
We have previously described a unique, simple, and rapid method for inducing premature chromosome condensation (PCC) in "resting" human peripheral blood lymphocytes (HPBLs) without mitogen stimulation and an approach for studying numerical changes and/or structural aberrations involving a specific pair of human chromosomes. The current protocol incorporates improvements that provide better PCC, incorporates a high-throughput automated sample preparation unit and metaphase harvester to minimize manual labor and improve quality, and supports simultaneous painting of multiple sets of human autosomes in interphase nuclei. To induce PCC, isolated HPBLs are incubated at 37 °C in cell culture medium supplemented with a phosphatase inhibitor (okadaic acid or calyculin A),heart of a country, Laos, where the United States military was not officially active, and a region, the A Shau Valley, that was protected by two battalions of crack Vietcong troops and several rings of anti-air emplacements. Robertson was the cavalry. If the very worst happened, his own prospects of rescue would be slim. Close to midday, Robertson’s chopper established radio contact with the American and South Vietnamese commandos, who had created a defensive perimeter around a clearing atop a hill referred to as 1045. According to American troops on the ground that day, the helicopter was on final approach when the first enemy soldier opened fire. The Seahorse was sturdy—some 8,000 pounds unloaded—but not bulletproof, and the South Vietnamese pilot attempted to yank the machine around for

Millner had long been familiar with the name of the missing Green Beret—most people on the DPMO’s Vietnam desk were. “Dong Nai, for whatever reason, was always a fertile source of live sightings,” Garnett Bell, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency’s POW/MIA office, a predecessor to the DPMO, told me last spring. “I’d estimate we had four or five half-Asians from that area claiming to be American POWs.” During his tenure in the 1980s, Bell told me, he had dispatched an investigator to Dong Nai tochief of police. “And he has two kids,” I said. “Ten, I think. And four are in the United States.” “Did Ngoc ever think about joining them there?” “In the 1990s, he thought about it, but in the end he didn’t want to leave his family in Vietnam,” Som said. “He got too emotional when he was saying goodbye.” Had any of the villagers spotted Western filmmakers in their hamlet? They had, he responded, but Ngoc had brushed off questions, and his neighbors had let it drop. They’d certainly never seen the finished product. “Did you know that in the movie, Ngoc says he is an American soldier?” I said. Som shook his head. In the stillness, I could hear him breathing.

femoral components of the knee prosthesis can be attached.
In certain situations, additional portions of the tibia, other than the relatively narrow proximal portion being removed during knee replacement surgery, may also be damaged by arthritis or other problems. In such situations, a relatively thick proximal portion of the tibia is often removed, and it is replaced with an augment block shaped like the bone that has been removed. However, such previously known methods often result in the removal of an unnecessary amount of healthy bone, along with the damaged bone. Thus, for example, even in cases where the peripheral bone was healthy, and only the internal bone was damaged, prior art methods often removed both the healthy peripheral bone and the damaged internal bonehurricanes, tornados, wildfires and more in the 10,000-square-foot Disasterville.

But they also found that many individuals cropped up as heavy users of multiple services. “They did tend to be the same individuals who were showing up again and again and again in each of the different government databases,” said Moffitt.

Indeed, analysis of heavy users of three of more services revealed that the same 22% of the cohort accounted for 81% of the group’s criminal convictions, 77% of fatherless children, 36% of injury insurance claims, 78% of prescriptions, 66% of welfare benefits and 40% of excess obese kilograms, as well as more than half of cigarettes smoked and nights spent in hospital.

reliability of the device and optimum programming and erase times for the user.
Process variations alter the CPLD internal voltage levels from batch to batch. Thus, CPLDs processed within a single fabrication batch may work well at specified voltage levels, while CPLDs made in other batches do not necessarily work at the same voltage levels. More specifically, CPLDs made in other fabrication batches may not work well at the initially specified voltages, and yield may be considerably lower.
Process variations may affect charge pump accuracy from batch to batch, as well as affecting optimum voltage levels for programming, erasing, and verifying the device. Therefore, there is a need for a method of determining optimum charge pump settings for a particular batch of CPLDs, and using these optimum settings for CPLDs      }

football career came to an abrupt end in the summer of 1997, during a class football match. The match had been planned for weeks but Ashwin, unfortunately, forgot all about it. And instead of taking his sturdy football boots, he wore his brand-new black leather shoes to class.

For the first 88 minutes of the match Ashwin somehow managed to not scuff his shoes at all, by heading, chesting and kneeing the ball. But in the 89th minute his team won a penalty. The scores were level: 1-1. This penalty kick would be crucial. Ashwin was asked to thump in one of his trademark cannonballs.

Poor Ashwin was in a quandary. He really loved the new shoes. So he thought about it and did the unthinkable. He ran up, divedwas one time. Even I get that from time to time. He has asked me to carry him quite a bit. He wasn't doing that before. But we have been walking quite far so I don't know. I don't like to "I don't know" myself. I did all last year. Until they started the Rituxan, and all that went away, it confirmed I did know! It wasn't just being a three year old or my imagination or a fluke thing. So we will see on Tuesday how his labs are and what they say.

Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval was received for both the initial study and the replicated study. Inclusion criteria for the two studies included: CNOs within an acute setting, a hospital which has facilities and all personnel including medical staff appropriate to diagnose, treat and care for acute conditions, including injuries, located within the Southeastern and Northeastern United States. CNOs were identified as the highest ranking administrative registered nurse in the acute care organization, responsible for the practice of nursing throughout their healthcare system. Exclusion criteria included anyone not meeting the inclusion criteria. Department directors, division directors, unit or service managers, supervisors, charge nurses and other senior nurses who have non-nursing, executive positions in hospitals


patients will be taken care of."

Many of the CNOs talked about having better work processes, documentation systems, and call systems for the RN at point of care. In practice, evidence of meeting goals and objectives of the non-nursing leadership team took priority. For example, peer pressure among nurses was utilized to meet staffing needs. Another example of a CNO's conflict between believing they are an advocate for the professional nurse is that they were actually influencing nurses to work overtime by encouraging nurses to coerce other nurses to do so: ""We never pressure for overtime, it's just not a good work environment ... you do a neutral approach and people contribute if they're part of a team ... there are always some that do more than others ...best care to their patients \[[@B1-healthcare-06-00056],[@B2-healthcare-06-00056],[@B3-healthcare-06-00056]\]. In some cases, CNOs believed that patient acuity is being addressed adequately, as critically ill patients are in the critical care areas in spite of the research stating that the workload of the RN even in Medical/Surgical units has increased due to patients being more acutely ill and their conditions more complex \[[@B1-healthcare-06-00056],[@B2-healthcare-06-00056]\]. One CNO did believe that being an advocate for the nurse by making sure the nurse was set up for success would contribute greatly to the quality outcomes of patients. This CNO understood how the nurse and the patient are connected and the needs of both are required to be met in order for success in obtaining quality patient outcomes. One CNO advocated for resources for nurses in the

Discussion
==========

Among the parameters fitted with `JKTEBOP`, the only inconsistency found with previous literature is on the fractional radius $R_\mathrm{p}/R_\star$ of HAT-P-20b (Table \[param\]): its best-fit values for `HB1` and `HB2` significantly disagree with those found on `HT1` and `HT3`, even if the issue of flux contamination from the neighbor HAT-P-20 B has been taken into account in both works. A smaller inconsistency was found on the linear limb darkening (LD) coefficients: the best-fit values of $u_1$ are slightly smaller in `HB1` and `HB2` thantry{

Efficacy and safety of the dual-layer flow-diverting stent (FRED) for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
To describe the efficacy and complications of treating cerebral aneurysms with the Flow Re-direction Endoluminal Device (FRED) and to identify predictors for aneurysm occlusion. A prospective observational registry including all consecutive aneurysms treated with FRED between December 2015 and July 2018 was designed in one therapeutic neuroangiography department. The primary endpoint for treatment efficacy was complete or near-complete occlusion (O'Kelly-Marotta (OKM) C-D), assessed by three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography. Major (all symptomatics) and minor complications were described and those with modified Rankin Scale scores 3-6 were considered clinically relevant. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of efficacy. A total of 185 aneurysms were analyzed in 150 patients (mean age 54.3±11.5 years). Meanis dominated by diffusive processes. This is because DDFT corresponds to a dynamics given by the continuity equation $$\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t} = -\nabla \cdot \mathbf{j},
 \label{eq:continuity}$$ where the current $\mathbf{j}\propto-\nabla \mu({{\bm x}},t)$, with $\mu({{\bm x}},t)$ a local (non-equilibrium) chemical potential [@Marconi1999; @Marconi2000; @Archer2004; @Archer2004a]. Eq. (\[eq:continuity\]) is of course expected since the total number of particles in the system $N=\int \rho({{\bm x}},t){{{\rm d}}{{\bm x}}}$ is a conserved quantity.

we present results for the GEM-4 system comparing predictions for the density profiles and thermodynamics of equilibria for two of the different DDFT theories and also two of the PFC theories.

By comparing all of these we are able to assess the accuracy of the different theories and the validity of the various approximations. In Sec. \[sec:4\] we discuss the implications of the main two approximations and analyse the singular behaviour displayed by some models.

The theory can also be cast in terms of the grand potential (also called the Landau free energy) functional [@Evans1979a; @Evans1992; @Hansen2013]: $$\Omega[\rho] = {{\cal F}}[\rho] - \mu N = {{\cal F}}[\rho] - \mu \int \! \rho({{\bm x}}){{{\rm d}}{{\bm x}}}.
 \label{eq:omegadefn}$$ From this it follows that the functional derivative of $\Omega$ is $$\frac{{{\delta{\mkern-1mu}\Omega}}}{{{\delta{\mkern-2mu}\rho}}} = \frac{{{\delta{\mkern-1mu}{{\cal F}}}}}{{{\delta{\mkern-2mu}\rho}}} - \mu,
 \label{eq:dOmega}$$ and that this is zero at equilibrium: equilibria are extreme values of $\Omega$. Like the Helmholtz free energy, the grand potential decreases monotonically with time, since Eq.  is also true if one replaces ${{\cal F}}$ by $\Omega$. Therefore, for two phases to coexist, they must have the same specific grand potential (i.e., the same pressure) and the same chemical potential.with the RY/RPA approximation $c^{(3)}_0=c^{(4)}=0$, the boundedness of the free energy (\[eq:DDFTF3\]) depends on the $n^2 + n{{\cal L}}{n}$ combination. From (\[eq:defnL\]), the relevant term is $$\begin{split}
  -\int \! &
       \left(n^2({{\bm x}}_1) + n({{\bm x}}_1){{\cal L}}n({{\bm x}}_1) \right){{{\rm d}}{{\bm x}}}_1 = \\
  & \qquad - \rho_0 \!\!\int\! n({{\bm x}}_1)c^{(2)}({{\bm x}}_1,{{\bm x}}_2)n({{\bm x}}_2){{{\rm d}}{{\bm x}}}_1{{{\rm d}}{{\bm x}}}_2.
 \end{split}$$ In general, this is not bounded below, but it is in certain circumstances. For example, it is if ${\sigma_{\text{max}}}<-1$, and it is if $c^{(2)}({{\bm x}}_1,{{\bm x}}_2)\leq0$ (or $u(|{{\bm x}}_1-{{\bm x}}_2|)\geq0$ for RPA) for all ${{\bm x}}_1$ and ${{\bm x}}_2$, which is the case in the numerical examples below. The PFC models are not constrained to have $n\geq-1$, but ${{\cal F_{\text{$\beta$}}}}$ (\[eq:DDFTFPFCbeta\]) is bounded by the $n^4$


known to be rather accurate for the GEM-4 system and gives a good account of the phase diagram and the structure of the liquid and solid phases [@Mladek2007; @Prestipino2014; @Archer2014].

From Eqs. (\[eq:defnL\]), (\[eq:RPAc2u\]) and we obtain the linear operator ${{\cal L}}$: $${{\cal L}}n({{\bm x}}) = - n({{\bm x}}) - \rho_0\beta\epsilon \!\!\int\!
                         e^{-|{{\bm x}}-{{\bm x}}_2|^4/R^4} n({{\bm x}}_2){{{\rm d}}{{\bm x}}}_2.
 \label{eq:defnL_GEM4}$$ Recall from (\[eq:defnsigma\]) that ${{\cal L}}$ has eigenvalues $\sigma(k)$ with eigenfunctions $e^{i{{\bm k}}\cdot{{\bm x}}}$. We can choose the combined parameter $\rho_0\beta\epsilon$ and soft-particle radius $R$ so that the maximum in $\sigma(k)$ occurs at $k=1$ when the system is at the linear stability threshold, i.e., this is a maximum withthat the up hexagon branch cannot be continued beyond $\mu\approx0.28$ (where the minimum density goes to zero): this line is indicated as the ‘limit of validity’. Beyond this line, in the bottom right region of the phase diagram, there is no up hexagon solution to the equations, for the reasons discussed in Sec. \[sec:4\].

In Fig. \[fig:phase\_diagrams\](c) we display the phase diagram for  and in (d) for . The binodals almost overlie each other, so the predicted difference between the average densities of the liquid and the crystal at coexistence are much smaller than that predicted by DDFT-3 and DDFT-5. Furthermore, on moving to higher average densities or to lower temperatures $k_BT/\epsilon$ one encounters the stripe phase, followed by the down hexagon phase and then finally the uniform liquid becomes stable again. The


can be seen from Fig. \[figApp:DDFT5singularity\], having an adequate resolution for our numerical calculations was a challenge but for different reasons for the different models. In DDFT-3, the density maxima can be sharply peaked while the logarithm of the density is smooth, so inadequate resolution in the density field prompts an increase in the number of grid points (we implement automatic regridding, as discussed in Appendix \[app:continuation\]). In contrast, in DDFT-5, the density field can be smooth but with minima very close to zero, so its logarithm has very sharp negative peaks. In this case, inadequate resolution in the logarithm of the density prompts regridding. The difference is that in DDFT-5, the equation involves derivatives so any problem is magnified, while in DDFT-3, the equation involves convolutions that smooth outcosine. In contrast, in (c) DDFT-3, the density is sharply peaked, while the logarithm of the density is slowly varying and resembles a cosine. One of the attractions of PFC theory is that it has slowly varying solutions that are well represented by a few Fourier modes [@Elder2002; @Elder2004; @Emmerich2012; @Wu2010], and this carries over to some extent to DDFT-5. Such Fourier representations of the density profiles in DDFT-3 are unsatisfactory, apart from for the unstable solutions very close to the spinodal point, since any solution of reasonable amplitude is sharply peaked.

to

However, the data in Fig. \[figApp:DDFT5singularity\] suggest that representing the *logarithm* of the density with a few Fourier modes should work well in DDFT-3. In this section, we elaborate how such a theory can be developed.

The key is to write


to significantly alter the relative stabilities of the different periodic states, in particular making striped states to become an equilibrium phase for some state points, which is contrary to the physics. The consequence of making (iii) without first making (ii), is to generate a theory (DDFT-5) that has a no-solution region in the phase diagram, such as that displayed for the GEM-4 model in Fig. \[fig:phase\_diagrams\](b). All these consequences have been illustrated for the GEM-4 system, chosen because DDFT-3 is fairly accurate for this model for temperatures $k_BT/\epsilon>0.1$, allowing us to see the influence of the subsequent approximations.

[Throughout, there is good quantitative agreement between DDFT-3,  and the EOF versions of DDFT-5 and  (data not shown) *only* for unstable small amplitude solutions close to the spinodal point. The region ofquantitative agreement agreement between DDFT-3 and  is circled in red in Fig. \[fig:DDFTPFCsummary\](b,h). Beyond this region, the agreement between the four theories is at best qualitative.]{}

Given all these problematic consequences for PFC theory, especially the issues related to Taylor expanding the logarithmic ideal gas term, it raises the question of why then is PFC theory so successful? In our view, there are several reasons for this. The first reason is that PFC theory is qualitatively correct near to the spinodal. Therefore, it can satisfactorily describe the coexistence between the liquid and the crystal phase, which is often an important aspect in applications of the theory. Second, despite the approximations, PFC theory still incorporates some very important physics: (i) the free energy satisfies the correct symmetries, (ii) the dynamical equation gives a


in Eq. (\[eq:cLgradJaatinen\]).

Numerical method: continuation {#app:continuation}
==============================

We use numerical continuation to solve the four equations (\[eq:betadFdn3\_rewritten\]) and (\[eq:betadFdn5\_rewritten\])–(\[eq:betadFdnepsilon\_rewritten\]) for $n({{\bm x}})$ as the parameters vary. Our approach is based on [@Doedel1991] for the pseudo-arclength continuation method, and we use the approach advocated by [@Kelley2003] to solve the large linear systems at each Newton step. The main parameters are the chemical potential $\mu$, the parameters in the linear operators ${{\cal L}}$ and ${{{\cal L}_{\text{grad}}}}$, and the domain size. In this discussion, we focus on $\mu$ as the parameter that is varied.

Pseudo-arclength continuation
-----------------------------

The main idea behind pseudo-arclength continuation is to suppose that we are looking to calculate a branch of solutions $n({{\bm x}})$ depending on the parameter $\mu$. The branch may have folds (as in Fig. \[fig:DDFTPFCsummary\]), and the method should be able to go around these. The method definespoints. It is this that allows the branch following technique to go around folds. If we have two points on the branch $(n(s),\mu(s))$ at $s_0$ and $s_1$, then we take the derivatives of $n$ and $\mu$ with respect to the arclength to be approximately $$\frac{{{\rm d}}{n}}{{{\rm d}}{s}} = S \frac{n(s_1)-n(s_0)}{s_1-s_0},
 \quad
 \frac{{{\rm d}}\mu}{{{\rm d}}{s}} = S \frac{\mu(s_1)-\mu(s_0)}{s_1-s_0},
 \label{eqApp:pseudoarclengthstep}$$ with the scaling factor $S$ chosen so as to satisfy $$\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N \left(\frac{{{\rm d}}{n_i}}{{{\rm d}}{s}}\right)^2 +
 \left(\frac{{{\rm d}}\mu}{{{\rm d}}{s}}\right)^2 = 1.
 \label{eqApp:arclengthnormalization}$$ The $\frac{1}{N}$ prefactor means that the parameterization of the branch by the arclength is essentially independent of the number of grid points.

The method then proceeds in a predictor–corrector fashion. The predictor step, with a target stepsize $\Delta{s}$ provides $(n_2,\mu_2)$: $$n_2 = n(s_1) + \Delta{s}\frac{{{\rm d}}{n}}{{{\rm d}}{s}},
 \quad
 \mu_2 = \mu(s_1)


+ \Delta{s}\frac{{{\rm d}}\mu}{{{\rm d}}{s}}.
 \label{eqApp:pseudoarclengthpredictor}$$ Then, $(n_2,\mu_2)$ is used as an initial iterate for a Newton solver for equation (\[eqApp:equationtosolve\]), supplemented by the condition that the Newton iterates lie in a plane orthogonal to the line given in (\[eqApp:pseudoarclengthpredictor\]), parameterised by $\Delta{s}$. This means that we are solving ${{\cal H}}(n,\mu)=0$, where ${{\cal H}}$ is $\mathbb{R}^{N+1}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{N+1}$, with the first $N$ equations in ${{\cal H}}$ being the same as ${{\cal G}}$, and the last equation being $$(n - n_2) \cdot \frac{{{\rm d}}{n}}{{{\rm d}}{s}} + (\mu - \mu_2) \frac{{{\rm d}}\mu}{{{\rm d}}{s}} = 0.
 \label{eqApp:pseudoarcorthogonality}$$ To be precise, we take $${{\cal H}}(n,\mu)=\begin{pmatrix}
 \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}} P\cdot {{\cal G}}(n,\mu)\\
 \textrm{Eq.~(\ref{eqApp:pseudoarcorthogonality})}
 \end{pmatrix},
 \label{eqApp:fullsystem}$$ where $P$ is a linear preconditioner for ${{\cal G}}$ (see below). The $\sqrt{N}$ scaling means that the norm $\lVert{{\cal H}}(n,\mu)\rVert$ (the square root of the sum of the squares of], [ -0.850651,  0.000000, -0.525731 ],

advances through the various subsurface features. Parameters include, but are not limited to, mud weight, drill bit rotational speed, and weight on bit (WOB). The drilling operators rely on the well plan to anticipate tops and changes in subsurface features, account for drilling uncertainties, and adjust drilling parameters accordingly.
In many cases, the initial geological model may be inaccurate. The depth or location of a particular top may be off by a number of feet. Further, since some geological models recite distances based on the distance between two tops, an error in the absolute depth of one top can result in errors in the depths of multiple tops. Thus, a wellbore can advance into a high pressure subsurface formation before anticipated.
Such errors thus affect safety as well as costAll relevant data are within the paper and its Supporting Information files.

Concussion guidelines uniformly recommend a brief period (24 to 48 hours) of cognitive and physical "rest" acutely, followed by a gradual and progressive return to activity \[[@pone.0196062.ref001]\]. The evidence supporting acute rest as an intervention is sparse and largely based on consensus statements, early animal studies, and an understanding of the neurometabolic pathophysiology of concussion \[[@pone.0196062.ref002]--[@pone.0196062.ref004]\]. Complete or strict rest, protracted rest, and rest until symptom resolution has been shown to be ineffective and potentially hazardous following concussion and is no longer recommended \[[@pone.0196062.ref001], [@pone.0196062.ref005]--[@pone.0196062.ref007]\].

Before their discovery, quark model and lattice calculations predicted that the masses of these states, in particular $D_{s0}^\ast(2317)$ and $D_{s1}^\prime(2460)$, would be significantly higher than observed [@Isgur],[@lattice]. Moreover, these states were predicted to be broad due to the fact that they can decay into $D\, K$ and $D^\ast \ K$, respectively. Experimentally, the masses of $D_{s0}^\ast(2317)$ and $D_{s1}^\prime(2460)$ are below the $D\, K$ and $D^\ast \ K$ thresholds and hence they are very narrow.

Lock-free Progress Guarantees

Anecdotally, I've found that a lot of programmers mistakenly believe that "lock-free" simply means "concurrent programming without mutexes".  Usually, there's also a correlated misunderstanding that the purpose of writing lock-free code is for better concurrent performance. Of course, the correct definition of lock-free is actually about progress guarantees.  A lock-free algorithm guarantees that at least one thread is able to make forward progress regardless of what any other threads are doing.
This means a lock-free algorithm can never have code where one thread is depending on another thread in order to proceed.  E.g., lock-free code can not have a situation where Thread A sets a flag, and then Thread B keeps looping while waiting for Thread A to unset the flag.

Attempt to reserve a slot in the queue at write_index % queue_size using a CompareAndSwap loop that attempts to set write_index to write_index + 1.
If the CompareAndSwap is successful, copy the user data into the
reserved slot.
Finally, update the sequence_index on the
slot by making it equal to write_index + 1.

The actual source code uses custom atomics and memory barriers, so for further clarity about this algorithm I've briefly translated it into (untested) standard C++ atomics for better readability, as follows:
bool mcmp_queue::enqueue(void* data)

Chuck Bell, Programs Director, Advocacy Consumers Union, NYSERDA Board Member, Buildings of Excellence Advisory Council Member said, "The Buildings of Excellence competition will benefit New York consumers by incentivizing the deployment of advanced building designs and innovative energy efficiency technologies. Low- and zero-carbon residential buildings can directly enhance living conditions for building residents, by improving energy efficiency, comfort and habitability. They can also improve air quality for all New Yorkers, by reducing air pollution from fossil fuel combustion."

To assist with the development of the Buildings of Excellence competition, NYSERDA convened an advisory council comprised of a cross-section of

Effects of nursing mothers on rPer1 and rPer2 circadian expressions in the neonatal rat suprachiasmatic nuclei vary with developmental stage.
The ability of nursing mothers to entrain the circadian pacemaker of rat pups was examined by measuring the rat Per1 (rPer1) and rPer2 expression levels in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). Newborn rats from mothers under a light-dark cycle (LD) were blinded immediately after birth and reared by foster mothers under either LD (LD blind pups) or reversed light-dark cycle (DL; DL blind pups). At postnatal day (P)6, small but significant phase differences were observed in the circadian gene expression rhythms of the SCN not only between the blind and sighted pups, but also between the two groups of blind pups, indicating the involvement of both free-running and maternal influenceIs making the call to cancel cable and/or saving money on your New Year’s resolutions list for 2018?

Attorney Shawn Meador: In my opinion, this court has to do something to impress upon Mr. Mack that he doesn't get to do just whatever he wants.

Mack vigorously denied that was the case.

Darren Mack: I was given an impossible situation, that is why I filed bankruptcy, your honor. I wasn't just saying, "Oh, I don't care about what you say." I was talking to my attorneys trying to figure out how we could do motions, "How do we deal with this? I can't pay it."

Judge Weller was not sympathetic. He came down hard on Mack.

Judge Weller:My inclination is to give your guy till Friday to pay all the money that he owes or to put him in theshot in the chest and was rushed to a nearby hospital where surgeons carefully began removing bullet fragments. He would survive, but would need roughly 40 stitches to close his wounds.

Victoria Corderi: Was the Judge or his assistant able to tell you anything that could be of help?

Detective Ron Chalmers: He provided other detectives who had met with him, immediately the name Darrel Mack.

The judge actually meant "Darren" Mack -- the well-known pawnshop owner who had given him the so-called "look of death" just three weeks earlier.

Authorities began to wonder if Weller’s final ruling in the divorce somehow had made Darren Mack snap. Was he so fed up, so blinded by fury, that he decided to exact revenge?

And if he did shoot the judge who had ruled against


me. Believe in who you believe I am. Because I reserve the right to set the record straight."

The Macks hired two of Nevada’s most seasoned lawyers -- Scott Freeman, a prominent criminal defense attorney in Reno, and David Chesnoff, a high-profile lawyer from Las Vegas with a celebrity client list that included Martha Stewart and Britney Spears.

Mack’s lawyers steered Darren away from his death penalty demands and he pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder. The high profile case was moved from Reno to Las Vegas and the state appointed two special prosecutors and a special judge from Las Vegas to preside. In October 2007, Darren Mack was ready to face a jury.

It had been 12 years since the Macks had been married insurrendered in Mexico, his shoes had traces of Charla's blood, and none of Darren’s. And these photos taken upon his return did not reveal so much as a scratch to indicate Mack had been engaged in a struggle in any way.

The words "put lex in garage" were written down. Charla's Lexus had been moved from the driveway into the garage.

Christopher Lalli: He talked about ending a problem, that problem being his wife. And then he talked about the parking garage if yes. He shot Judge Weller from a parking garage.

Prosecutors said there should be no doubt these were cold-blooded, pre-planned attacks and Darren Mack should be found guilty. But the jury was about to hear a very different account of what happened on June 12, 2006. An unbelievably


too much for Darren to take.

Charla was, the defense said, a kind of terrorist, torturing Darren with demands for money and custody.

Scott Freeman: The divorce was to be her form of terrorism. Darren felt abuse more than ever.

And it wasn't just psychological terror, said Freeman. Charla had threatened Darren Mack with physical violence as well.

Scott Freeman: "I will cut your penis off and put it in a freezer." "I will kill you. I watch Court TV every day and I know how to do it.

Freeman said Darren started to believe that Charla would carry out those threats...especially after a psychic told him to beware of her.

Scott Freeman: She said, "There's blood everywhere. You can't turn your back on Charla. She will stab you with knife."
