One of the designers said he felt queasy about it. He had just tattooed his arm from shoulder to cuff-line. I just asked him, 'How can you be sensitive to that?'"

Amit and his team researched body augmentation. "We found out how common it was throughout history," he says. "Five hundred years ago, it was natural to insert jewels into one's body. As we move into the digital era, it will feel natural to have a chip under your skin. There are already a lot of implanted devices - heart defibrillators, insulin implants, identity chips..."

FootballOutsiders.com suggests that the Buccaneers were by far the most difficult team to run against towards the offense’s right end. That’s where the defense’s left end is stationed, and Bennett was usually the man on that post for the Buccaneers.

And, like a few of his teammates and many other players around the league, Bennett did all of this while silently dealing with some limiting injuries, most notably one to his shoulder.

“It’s one of those things, I toughed it out,” he said with a shrug. “It’s hard to come out here and play each week with injuries, but that’s part of the game. As a player, a true professional goes out there regardless. You see Ronde Barber around here for years playing through everything, and that’s what you’ve gotoutside, on the inside, there are many Japanese things about her.

In addition to being born and raised Nagasaki, the young adult also is a Japanese citizen who speaks the language fluently.

While some critics have been vocal about their hopes of having another contestant take her spot, most have shown their support for the newly crowned beauty queen.

With five nominees in each year and five years in each data point, this cuts through some of the statistical noise and shows us a clear upward trend. Best Actress nominees used to be about 34. Now they’re over 40. Best Actor nominees have jumped up nearly a decade. Best Supporting Actress remains refreshingly random. As for the winners, those are only 1/5th the data so the lines are far more erratic.

Adding HREFLang Link Elements to Global Site Directories

Our testing tool was generating some incorrect errors from large sites that were using the HREFlang in the body of pages to designate different language versions in their country locator. Note, this HREFLang element is NOT the same as the one for Search Engines. This one was designed to help browsers and bots to detect if it should go into specific content types and language types.

“Hat Tip to Adobe Search & AEM Teams for pointing out the error in the testing tool.”

If you do use this ensure your team reads the HREFLang Link specification on W3C as it stipulates that the two letter ISO Language code be used. In the two cases below they are using the incorrect syntax of countryOn top of that, “Memories” creates short movies of different occasions like weddings, vacations, parties, etc. That’s giving Facebook’s Moments app some competition.

Okay, What’s Facebook up to?

Facebook’s Moments app does something similar. Slideshow combines users’ videos and photos to create small videos, which are customized with different layouts, transitions and background music.

In Facebook’s all new iOS 10 version, Facebook will automatically create movies if a user adds more than 5 pictures or videos within 24 hours. And Facebook makes editing super easy. Users remove or insert images/videos as they see fit. To package it all up nicely, Facebooks offers 9 themes to choose from for our movies. Pretty cool!

Facebook wants to directly compete with Apple’s iOS 10 Photos moviemaking feature update. Getting back to the real world, both


with the Turkish leader later Wednesday.

The meeting could be overtaken by the events on Capitol Hill, where two U.S. diplomats are slated to testify publicly about the Trump administration’s machinations toward Ukraine.

Still, lawmakers are sure to be closely watching the developments at the White House and any major news will reverberate on Capitol Hill.

“The biggest challenge he’ll have is probably found at home because he has a Congress that on a bipartisan level is united against trying to improve this relationship between the U.S. and Turkey,” said Coffey, who added it was important to get the bilateral relationship back on track.

“He needs to go into the meeting with his eyes open and understand that U.S.-Turkish relations are at a low point,” he said.Then, we add the remaining local nodes: FeedingTheBunny and Thanks in the same way.

Now it’s time to add arrows. In order to do it, we need to put the cursor over some node, aim the square handler displayed on it and drag a line from it to another node.

At this point, the newly created arrow can be customized. All we need to do is to click it and then enter its new name. This one is going to be called has a bunny and will tell us what happens when the user has a bunny — she goes from the home screen to the screen where she’s supposed to enter her name.

Giving a name to the edge from the IsABunnyOwner node

Let’s draw all the remaining arrows and call


node as their underlaying nodes. That’s why we add just one actual node EnteringTheName.

Adding EnteringTheName

Then we pick it as the underlaying node for both EnteringTheName #1 and EnteringTheName #2.

The EnteringTheName #1 local node uses the EnteringTheName actual node as its underlaying node

The EnteringTheName #2 local node uses the EnteringTheName actual node as its underlaying node

FeedingTheBunny is going to be far more complicated. Here’s how we decided that it has two regions:

the bunny itself

controls for carrots (looking for carrots and giving them to the bunny)

A whiteboard drawing of FeedingTheBunny

It makes it a composite with two children.

Adding the FeedingTheBunny composite

The FeedingTheBunny composite with its children

Let’s start from the most important part — the bunny. It can be:

hungry

eating

full

Here’s how does TheBunny look.

TheBunny graph

We cannot forget about underlaying nodes. There are threedoes the same — it makes the model follow an arrow called done. There is no IF for that. It’s not parametrized using a boolean flag neither. It’s all about where is the arrow pointing at.

We’re getting closer to the most complicated part which is the FeedingTheBunny node and its children. The node itself is a composite of two nodes: TheBunny and CarrotControls. Both of those nodes handle the render method in their own ways. In order to make the composite render correctly, we need to make its render method return a merged result of the _render_ method of TheBunny and the render method of CarrotControls. This is how we can use altering results to achieve this.

This is its test case.

We’re going to start from the CarrotControls graph.

North Texas Honoree

East Dallas Community Schools (EDCS) was founded in 1978 by Terry Nelson Ford ’74 and John Fullinwider with the mission of providing all children, regardless of income, with an outstanding Montessori education by having them start young and involving their parents. From its original class of eight students, EDCS has grown to serve more than 550 students across three campuses. For more than 35 years EDCS has documented the power of a quality early childhood education. The result of parent education and innovative classroom environments is a strong educational foundation for children most at risk of failure in school.

school curriculum.

Tanzania’s health care system is provided in a pyramidal system beginning with dispensaries at the lowest level, which refers patients to health centers, and then district hospitals, and regional and tertiary referral hospitals. There is a variable level of emergency care capacity with no EM specialists or formal full-capacity emergency departments (EDs) except for MNH which has a full capacity EMD [3]. Until the inception of emergency medicine, hospitals in Tanzania, like many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have handled emergencies through designated acute areas (commonly referred as casualty). These are outpatient departments (OPDs), usually minimally equipped and staffed with HCPs with no or little emergency care training. They largely channel patients to wards, theaters, and clinics and provide little or no emergency stabilization. As a result,at EMD-MNH, the only full-capacity ED at the time of study, or outside Tanzania, in countries where full capacity EDs exist.

As further evidence of the need for this exposure, despite the overall moderate level in understanding, perception, and career decision-making, ALMC had the highest score in perception of EM as a specialty. This hospital has had a long-time affiliation with a USA ED that sends EM faculty yearly to mentor and support the clinical capacity within the urgent care [10]. The rest of hospitals had no similar arrangement.

Our training was mainly focused on exposing health care providers to the role of EM in caring for acutely ill children presenting to ED. Similar to published literature on different settings, we observed a significant improvement after the course in understanding,


Can Blount's disease heal spontaneously?
In stage 1 of all currently accepted classifications for infantile tibia vara, the diagnosis is difficult between physiological bowing and true Blount's disease. There is no evidence of prognosis criteria for surgical treatment at this stage. We retrospectively studied a series of 26 patients born in the Indian Ocean area, presenting at stage 1 of the disease, in order to determine whether any of them were likely to heal without treatment. It was found that children seen at stage 1 of infantile tibia vara have a one-in-three chance of healing spontaneously. An alternative classification in three stages could then provide more suitable therapeutic indications: stage 0: possible Blount's disease (patient older than 2.5 years); stage 1: certain Blount's disease, active physis (+) (progressive varus,Luke Kirby (disambiguation)

DISORDER

Disorder is the natural order of the universe: infinite, cold, chaotic, unpredictable, ruling the world by its perpetual disequilibrium and creating billions of possibilities. As a matter of fact, order is just a temporary moment of contradictory disorders coming to a balanced state.

Man has created tools for power, a global system of disruption of life deploying his domination upon living and animal worlds. Despite all our efforts and the incredible level of progress that our society has reached, disorder has ceased to be seen as a potential opportunity to challenge the present. It has instead become a component of a consumerist system that burns through natural resources and hinders our exclusive growth.

Facing growing signs of predictable extinction, mankind seems to be increasingly ignoring these signs, answering to thisrods to increase the effective length of the probe.
The vertical load exerted on the probe as it is advanced can exceed thirty tons of force. This force is preferably developed by the dead weight of the vehicle to which the ram system is attached or alternatively by a reaction against earth anchors.
The lower end of the CPT probe, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, contains load sensors for measuring the vertical bearing load on the conical surface section of the probe and the vertical frictional or shear load on the external surface of a short cylindrical section disposed immediately above the conical surface section. These two loads are measured at multiple intervals of depth or time to produce a continuous representation of various geomechanical soil properties as a function


We remark that Bell type inequalities were considered already by Boole (1862, 1958) as necessary conditions for existence of a jpd.

The above reasoning has an important consequence. The existence of a jpd implies that the condition of marginal consistency with respect to the jpd should hold not only for the pairwise probability distributions (see (\[MC\])), but even for probability distributions of each observable, $a_i, b_j, i,j =1,2,$ i.e., $$\label{MCT}
P_{a_i}(\alpha) = \sum_{\beta} P_{a_1, b_j}(\alpha,  \beta), j=1, 2, \;  P_{b_j}(\beta) = \sum_{\alpha} P_{a_i, b_j}(\alpha,  \beta),  i=1,2.$$ As was pointed out, this condition is known in quantum physics as the [*no-signaling condition.*]{} Thus, the Fine theorem presupposed that two conditions of marginal consistency, (\[MCx\]) and (\[MCT\]), jointly hold.

[**Signaling in physical and psychological experiments.**]{} By using the quantumor not a jpd exists for quadruple $$S=(a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2)$$ can’t be considered for signaling data.

[**Coupling method (Contextuality-by-Default).**]{} Dzhafarov and his coauthors (see references in the introduction) propose considering, instead of quadruple $S,$ some octuple ${\bf S}$ generated by doubling each observable and associating ${\bf S}$ with four contexts of measurements of pairs, $C_{11}=(a_1, b_1), C_{12}=(a_1, b_2), C_{21}=(a_2, b_1), C_{22}=(a_2, b_2).$ Thus, the basic object of CbD-theory has the form $${\bf S}= (A_{11}, B_{11},  A_{12}, B_{21}, A_{21}, B_{12}, A_{22}, B_{22}).$$ It is assumed that this system of observables can be realized by random variables on [*the same Kolmogorov probability space*]{} ${\cal P}_{{\bf S}}= ({\bf \Omega}, {\cal \bf{F}},  \bf P).$ (We shall use bold symbols for sample spaces and probabilities realizing the octuple representation of observables


by random variables.) For example, $A_{ij}= A_{ij}(\omega), \omega \in\bf  \Omega,$ is a random variable representing observable $a_i$ measured jointly with the observable $b_j.$

By moving from quadruple $S$ to octuple ${\bf S},$ one confronts the problem of identity of an observable which is now represented by two different random variables, e.g., the observable $a_i$ is represented by the random variables $A_{ij}(\omega) , j=1,2.$ In the presence of signaling one cannot expect the equality of two such random variables almost everywhere. Dzhafarov and coauthors (Dzhafarov & Kujala, 2016; Dzhafarov, Kujala, Cervantes, Zhang, & Jones, 2016; Dzhafarov, Kujala, & Larsson, 2015; Dzhafarov, Zhang, & Kujala, 2015) came up with a novel treatment of the observable-identity problem.

It is assumed that averages $$\label{Ct}
m_{a; ij}=\langle A_{ij} \rangle, \; m_{b; ij}= \langle B_{ij}\rangle$$ andsides is considered as the measure of contextuality. Denote (1/2 times) this quantity by $\Delta_{\rm{CHSH}}.$ It is also experimentally verifiable.

Then Dzhafarov and coauthors introduced quantity $$\label{CHPP0}
\Delta({\bf P})= \sum \Delta_{a_i}({\bf  P})+ \sum \Delta_{b_j}({\bf P}),$$ where $$\label{CHPP}
\Delta_{a_i}({\bf P})=
{\bf  P}(\omega: A_{i1}(\omega) \not = A_{i2}(\omega) ), \Delta_{b_j}({\bf P})=
{\bf P}(\omega: B_{j1}(\omega) \not  = B_{j2}(\omega)).$$ Here $\Delta_{a_i}({\bf P})$ characterizes mismatching of representations of observable $a_i$ by random variables $A_{i1}$ and $A_{i2}$ with respect to probability measure ${\bf P};$ $\Delta_{b_j}({\bf  P})$ is interpreted in the same way. The problem of the identity of observables is formulated as the mismatching minimization or identity maximization problem $$\label{CHPP0}
\Delta({\bf P}) \to \min$$ with respect to all octuple probability distributions ${\bf P}$ satisfying constraints (\[Ct\]), (\[Ct1\]). And it turns out, that $$\label{CHPP0yy}
\Delta_{\rm{min}}=\min \Delta({\bf

Given the values at these points, a polynomial approximation of degree $p$ of the solution in cell $i$ can be constructed. This polynomial is called the *solution polynomial* and is usually composed of a set of Lagrangian basis polynomial $L_j^s\left(\ximap\right)$ of degree $p$: $$\Wb_i\left(\ximap\right) = \sum_{j=1}^{N^s} \Wb_{i,j} \, L_j^s\left(\ximap\right).

Itinerant models would point to density wave phases with the length of the magnetic spin varying while localized models would propose spatially localized defects and competitions between localized structures where the length of the spin is preserved.

This invention relates to a process for preparing organo-sulfonium halides. More particularly, it relates to a process for preparing trialkylsulfonium halides.
2. Related Art
Organo-sulfonium halides are useful in the preparation of pesticides and herbicides. Specifically, the sulfonium salts of N-phosphonomethylglycine have been found to be particularly effective herbicides against various types of grasses and other unwanted weeds.
In the preparation of the trialkylsulfonium salts of N-phosphonomethylglycine, the starting material is trialkylsulfonium hydroxide which is derived from the salt, trialkylsulfonium halide, in a number of different ways including electrolysis.
Sulfonium salts are, in part, known compounds, and methods for preparing all of these salts are shown in the art. U.S. Pat.

Introduction {#sec005}
============

Many injured persons face significant loss and suffering following traumatic injury, including functional impairment, financial insecurity, psychological distress, and disabling pain \[[@pone.0178894.ref001]\]. Perceiving that the injury event and outcomes were unfair may ultimately impact on the capacity to cope with and accept the consequences of the injury \[[@pone.0178894.ref002]\]. This is especially the case if the injury occurred as a consequence of reckless, negligent or intentional actions of another \[[@pone.0178894.ref003]\], or simply if the injured person believes that it was not their own


severity" characteristics (i.e., longer hospital stay and sustaining injury in violent crime or from penetrating trauma) were associated with higher injustice beliefs 12-months after admission to hospital for traumatic injury \[[@pone.0178894.ref016]\]. However, this former study, conducted in Texas, USA, did not measure or describe the type or access to compensation in this setting.

Compensable injury is frequently found to lead to worse psychological \[[@pone.0178894.ref017]\] and pain \[[@pone.0178894.ref018]\] outcomes, compared with non-compensable injury, and these outcomes are even worse for those who were not at fault for their injury \[[@pone.0178894.ref019]\] and in those who seek legal representation \[[@pone.0178894.ref020]\]. In many settings, entitlement to compensation is limited to claimants who can prove that another was at fault for their injury. In the present setting, however, in the state of Victoria, Australia,                   11 (3; 17)

*Abbreviations*: AIS = Abbreviated Injury Severity; RTW = Return to work.

Higher perceptions of blame/unfairness and severity/irreparability of loss were reported by participants who were hospitalized for longer; received compensation; perceived that they were not at fault for the incident causing their injury; had consulted a lawyer; and were not working 12-months after injury; see [Table 2](#pone.0178894.t002){ref-type="table"}. Surprisingly,


explained a further 19.5% of the variance in perceived injustice. Fault and consulting a lawyer remained significant in the final model after adjusting for other covariates, however compensation status was no longer uniquely associated with perceived injustice in the fully adjusted model. Factors indicating the severity of the injury impacts on health-related quality of life, disability and pain outcomes explained a large portion of variance. Health-related quality of life (i.e., physical and mental component scores) at 12-months post-injury explained an additional 18.4% of the variance in perceived injustice. The association between perceived injustice and each pain-related outcome at 12-months post-injury was examined in separate models given the high multicollinearity between the pain outcomes. Pain catastrophizing explained the greatest amount of additional variance in perceived injustice (8.6%), followed by       16.22[\*](#t004fn002){ref-type="table-fn"}   13.00 (9.52, 16.47)[\*](#t004fn002){ref-type="table-fn"}

claimants do not need to prove another was at fault to be eligible, injured persons often nonetheless seek legal representation to assist with their transport or workplace injury claim. Moreover, while persons who have sustained a permanent impairment are entitled to lump sum payment for impairment, and lifetime income support, depending on the degree of impairment, regardless of their role in the injury incident if another was at fault, they may also seek common law damages via the compensation system for the impact of the injury. Outside of the context of compensable injury, injured persons may require legal representation to pursue common law claims for public liability or victims of crime cases.

Litigation and lawyer involvement in recovery from injury has previously been explored in several contexts, and itthe groups Cryptophyceae, Bacillariophycaea and Dinophyceae when they were dominating the community. Furthermore, the sensitivity to ZPT was increased at low concentrations of phosphate per cell (<0.2 nmol/cell). For CPT there was a negative correlation between toxicity and phosphate concentration in the water. Consequently, in aquatic environments where phytoplankton is phosphate limited the effect of ZPT and CPT may be enhanced.

the privilege appears in United States v. Reynolds, 345 U.S. 1, 73 S.Ct. 528, 97 L.Ed. 727 (1953).    Reynolds establishes the procedure which must be followed for the privilege to be properly invoked:  " There must be a formal claim of privilege,  lodged by the head of the department which has control over the matter,  after actual personal consideration by that officer."    Id. at 7-8, 73 S.Ct. at 531-532 (footnotes omitted).  The inherent dilemma presented by the privilege, as recognized by the Reynolds Court, is that a court must "determine whether the circumstances are appropriate for the claim of privilege, and yet do so without forcing a disclosure of the very thing the privilege is designed to protect."Massive discovery requests are unfortunately now part of the standard tactical maneuvering of parties immersed in the adversarial process.  While we fully recognize the burden of imposing on a non-party the effort and expense of discovery, particularly when the expense will be borne by the taxpayers, we also recognize that "the paramount interest of the Government in having justice done between litigants in Federal courts militates in favor of requiring a great effort on its part to produce any documents relevant to a fair termination of th[e] litigation."

Accordingly, the inconvenience of MDC's discovery request on State is not reason enough, alone, to quash the subpoena.  See id.    A reasonable inconvenience must be borne to further the


the state secrets privilege.  It is quite possible that, though related, the nature of the precise information contained in the revealed documents is different from that contained in the privileged documents and justifies different treatment.  See Brief for Appellees at 31-32.  Moreover, prior disclosure of similar information does not preclude the potential for harm resulting from the present, requested disclosure.  In Halkin I, we stated that "[t]he government is not estopped from concluding in one case that disclosure is permissible while in another case it is not."   Halkin I, 598 F.2d at 9.  Similarly, one department's decision to disclose documents it possesses on a given topic should not compel another department's disclosure when it has decided against such action.  Indecreased risk of cardiovascular events.

Risk of prostate cancer diagnosis was decreased by 40% in men with the longest duration of testosterone treatment, compared to non-testosterone treated men. No effect on prostate cancer risk was seen among men with shortest duration of testosterone treatment.

It is speculated that the increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality for men with the shortest duration of testosterone treatment could be driven by the consequences of underlying testosterone deficiency and inadequate treatment, rather than the testosterone treatment.

What is known

The health consequences of testosterone deficiency, and the benefits of its treatment - such as improvement in sexual function, mood, body composition and metabolic risk factors - are well established in medical research.2 Despite this, testosterone therapy is controversial. Concerns regarding cardiovascular risk were based on

The last two times they tested this new technique, which bypasses the drill’s stuck feed mechanism by having the robot arm itself push the drill bit against the rock, the drilling did not succeed. It appeared the force applied by the robot arm to push the drill into the rock was not sufficient. The rock was too hard.

In these first attempts, however, they only used the drill’s rotation to drill, thus reducing the stress on the robot arm. The rotation however was insufficient. Thus, they decided with the next drill attempt to add the drill’s “percussion” capability, where it would not only rotate but also repeatedly pound up and down, the way a standard


in the past month, Opportunity because it is in a good science location and because it must save energy during the winter and Curiosity because it is in a geological location so good the scientists appear to almost be going ga-ga over it.

Curiosity

In the month since my December 18 update, Curiosity has continued to head south rather than east as originally planned (as indicated by the dotted yellow line in the traverse map to the right). Moreover, the rover has not moved very much, because the science team has decided that there is just too much significant geology in this area on Vera Rubin Ridge, also part of a geological unit they have dubbed the Hematite Unit.

Right now the rover is located at an area they call “Regionis smooth, which will mean easier driving.

Curiosity

Since my last update on July 12,, Curiosity spent most of the month waiting out the solar conjunction that placed the Sun between the Earth and Mars and blocked communications. In the past few days, however, the rover has begun to send down images again while resuming its journey up Mt. Sharp. The panorama above, reduced to show here, was taken by the rover’s left navigation camera, and shows the mountain, the ridge, and the route the rover will take to circle around the steepest sections to get up onto the ridge.

Even more significant, this initial drive into the valley means the science team has decided that either the wheel issues in June were not serious enough to prevent them from making this downhill trip, or the science is important enough that they are willing to risk the rover to get that science.

The full panorama, shown above in reduced resolution, is a bit confusing. The head of Perseverance Valley to the northeast is on the right. The view straight ahead looks west, away from the crater. The hill and raising terrain on the left is the crater rim to the south of Perseverance Valley. The panorama is not a complete 360 degree view, asThat prediction is almost certainly wrong. Instead, the scientists are probably going to have the rover zig-zag its way south into the dry wash so that they can study the geology there. This is what they have been doing, as shown on the traverse map to the right, which shows Curiosity’s location through Sol 1664 (April 10). Ideally I expect them to want to check out the flow areas of the central parts of the wash as well as the contact point on either side where the color of the terrain changes from dark to light. This appears to be what they doing now, two weeks later, based on this update posted yesterday.

Cool images time! The image above, cropped and reduced to show here, is a panorama that I have created from the most recent images sent down from Opportunity yesterday. The rover sits on the crest of the rim of Endeavour Crater, and this panorama looks north at that crest, back in the direction where the rover has come. The rovers tracks can be seen fading away into the distance slightly to the left of the crestline..If you click on the picture you can see the full resolution image.

The crater floor is to the right, the plains that surround the crater are to the left.

Below is another panorama, created by me from theof rock Opportunity examined on the plains it explored before reaching Endeavour.

If it is the gully I think, it is the slope visible in the panorama I created for this rover update two weeks ago. The science team has named the mound they have been studying Spirit Mound. The ridge line, visible in the panorama and to the south of the rover in the overhead view provided in the same September 27 rover update, has been dubbed Wharton Ridge. It is also possible that the entrance gully is the gully to the south of Wharton Ridge. Based on the information NASA has provided, I am not sure.

Either way, I had guessed that they would work their way south to Wharton Ridge along the edge of the crater rim,

Dante would have learned of the battle, its preparations (documented by Latini in the Libro di Montaperti), strategies and treachery, as well as those of the Battles of Benevento and Tagliacozzo, from the Chancellor, using material also to be gleaned later by Giovanni Villani, the Florentine merchant and historian. As a result, Dante reserved a place in the ninth circle of Hell for the traitor Bocca degli Abati in his Divine Comedy. The Ghibelline commander Farinata degli Uberti is also consigned to Dante's hell, not for his conduct in the battle, but for his alleged heretical adherence to the philosophy of Epicurus.

intraspecific size variation for most endothermic taxa.

The lack of evidence for temperature as a primary determinant of size variation in endothermic species calls into question the hypothesis that decreases in organism size may represent a third universal response to global warming. The potentially general decline in size with warming was addressed by assessments that evaluated dynamic body size responses to temperature using similar approaches to the Bergmann\'s rule reviews discussed above ([@bib86]; [@bib43]; [@bib92]). The results of these temporal reviews were similar to those for spatial relationships, but the conclusions of these studies clearly noted the variability in body size responses and the need for future data-intensive work ([@bib86]; [@bib43]) using broader temperature ranges ([@bib92]) to fully assess the temperature-size relationship.

Our results in combination with those from other studies suggest


unique perspective on the general responses of bird and mammal species to temperature, and has potential to assist in further investigation of the complex combinations of factors that determine biogeographic patterns of endotherm size and how species respond to changes in climate.

Materials and methods {#s4}
=====================

Data {#s4-1}
----

Organismal data were obtained from VertNet, a publicly available data platform for digitized specimen records from museum collections primarily in North America, but also includes global data ([@bib28]). Body mass is routinely measured when organisms are collected, with relatively high precision and consistent methods, by most field biologists, whose intent is to use those organisms for research and preservation in natural history collections ([@bib113]; [@bib48]). These measurements are included on written labels and ledgers associated with specimens, which are digitized and provided in standard formats,e.g., Darwin Core ([@bib111]). In addition to other trait information, mass has recently been extracted and converted to a more usable form from Darwin Core formatted records published in VertNet ([@bib45]). This crucial step reduces variation in how these measurements are reported by standardizing the naming conventions and harmonizing all measurement values to the same units ([@bib45]). We downloaded the entire datasets for Mammalia, Aves, Amphibia, and Reptilia available in September 2016 ([@bib11], [@bib12], [@bib13], [@bib14]) using the Data Retriever ([@bib53]; [@bib67]) and filtered for those records that had mass measurements available. Fossil specimen records with mass measurements were removed.

We only analyzed species with at least 30 georeferenced individuals whose collection dates spanned at least 20 years and collection locations at least five degrees latitude, in order to ensure sufficient


The species in the dataset were diverse, including volant, non-volant, placental, and marsupial mammals, and both migratory and non-migratory birds. There were species from all continents except Antarctica, though the majority of the data were concentrated in North America ([Figure 1A](#fig1){ref-type="fig"}). The distribution of the species\' mean masses was strongly right-skewed, as expected for broad scale size distributions ([@bib18]), with 74% of species having average masses less than 100 g. Size ranged from very small (3.7 g desert shrew *Notiosorex crawfordi* and 2.6 g calliope hummingbird *Stellula calliope*) to very large (63 kg harbor seal *Phoca vitulina* and 5.8 kg wild turkey *Meleagris gallopavo*).

Analysis {#s4-2}
--------

We fit the intraspecific relationship between mean annual temperature and mass for each species with ordinary least squares linear regression (e.g., [Figure 1B,C,D](#fig1){ref-type="fig"} andmigration on temperature-mass relationships ([@bib3]). As a temporal lag in size response to temperature is likely due to individuals of a species responding to temperatures prior to their collection year (e.g., [@bib89]), we assessed species\' temperature-mass relationships using temperatures from 1 to 110 years prior to collection year. We also examined the relationship between species\' correlation coefficients and five variables to understand potential statistical and biological influences on the results. We did so with the number of individuals, temperature range, and mass range to determine if the relationship was stronger when more data points or more widely varying values were available. Because it has been argued that Bergmann\'s rule is stronger in larger species ([@bib90]) and at higher latitudes ([@bib40]; [@bib38]), we examined variability with both mean mass

Essential revisions:

\- Scope. You rightly note in the Introduction (first paragraph) that Bergmann\'s rule was originally formulated for closely-related species (i.e., interspecific patters), but you then proceed -- like most earlier studies -- to explore intraspecific relationships only. A comprehensive assessment of this long-standing hypothesis would cover both intra- and interspecific perspectives, and the reviewers wondered whether you could add results for the latter? These additional analyses shouldn\'t be too onerous, yet they would add substantial value to the manuscript. Otherwise, it should be made clear throughout that the intraspecific facet of Bergmann\'s rule is being examined.

\- Statistical analyses. While the reviewers enjoyed the intuitive graphical illustration of results, and found that the overall patterns look compelling, they think it ismay have been a misunderstanding:

They clarified that their point was that you could have more simply converted the r -\> z and overlain a z distribution rather than highlighting statistically significant values. They noted that overlaying a z-distribution on z-transformed r values would show the extent of disagreement or not in the tails more clearly. They also commented that r is just bounded at -1 and 1, so the information is quite limited, and that overall, r is not a particularly informative comparative measure of effect size for heterogeneous data varying in sample size etc.

The collected sewage is then delivered by delivery pumps 106 to a non-illustrated sewage treatment plant or the like.
The vacuum sewage pipe 1 is required to have section valves (gate valves) and inspection ports (test-ball insertion ports) for maintenance thereof A 2002-version vacuum sewage collection system technical manual (published by Japan Institute of Wastewater Engineering Technology) prescribes that the section valves are to be arranged at intervals of not more than 400 m in a main pipe and to be installed at junction points (points A in FIG. 1) where branchmemoryless such that the next queue, say queue $j$, is selected for service with probability $\gamma_j$, where $0 < \gamma_j < 1$. The service time provided (if any) and the switchover time that follows are collectively defined as a *period*. The service time of customers in queue $i$ is a nonnegative random variable with mean $p_i$ and second moment $p^{(2)}_i$. The switchover time after the server visits queue $i$ is a nonnegative random variable with mean $s_i$ and second moment $s^{(2)}_i$. Let $s = \sum^{n}_{j=1} s_j \gamma_j$.

From *Theorem 12* of [@lee], we can obtain a closed form expression for the average waiting times for the packets at node $i$ as $$\begin{aligned}
 \label{eq:ewi}
E[W_i] = \frac{E[Q_i]}{\lambda_i \cdot P\{Q_i \geq 1 \}} - \left(\frac{1-\rho_i}{\lambda_i}\right) \end{aligned}$$ with $$\begin{aligned}
 \label{eq:eqi}
E[Q_i] = \frac{\psi_i}{\chi_i} +


our modelling assumptions, if the server visits a node with a nonempty queue, it will serve exactly one packet and will move to the next queue immediately (i.e, zero switchover time). Else, if the server visits a node with an empty queue, we assume that it will move to the next queue instantaneously (i.e, zero switchover time). We assume fair server allocation policy (i.e $\forall i\, , \gamma_i = \frac{1}{n}$). This emulates the process of the nonempty queue succeeding with equal probability. So we are interested in simplifying Equation to reflect the case of zero length switchover period. In a different context, the author in [@levy] has proposed that the expression for mean delay with zero switchover time can be obtained from the expression for non-zero switchover timethe variation for an aggregate arrival rate of $30 \, packets/sec$. It can be observed that for light to moderately loaded systems, the analytical and simulated values are in excellent agreement with each another.

In Figure \[fig:plot5\], we plot the variation in $d_{avg}$ against arrival rate $\lambda$. We observe that for entire capacity region (i.e, $\lambda < 14.56$ ), the theoretical mean delay and simulated mean delay are close to each other

In Figure \[fig:rate5\] , we plot the variation in $d_{avg}$ against the number of contending nodes $n$ for a given arrival rate. In Figure \[fig:rate5\] packets of size $1500\, Bytes$ were used. We observe that in both the Figures, the theoretical and simulated means are very close to each other. We can also observe that with larger sized

Something went very wrong with the US economy in 2008. But what?

Quite early on, two somewhat different stories emerged about the economic crisis. One story, which Geithner clearly preferred, saw it mainly as a financial panic—a supersized version of a classic bank run. And there certainly was a very frightening panic in 2008–2009.

Quantitative nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) assay
----------------------------------------------

The NBT assay was done in fibroblasts grown to confluence in 96-well flatbottom plates. The cells were washed with 2% EMEM and then preincubated with various inhibitors or control medium for 30 min at 37°C. The cells were then challenged with rhinovirus (MOI of 10 TCID~50~/cell), and NBT solution was added to each well at a final concentration of 1 mg/mL. After incubation for 6 h, the cells were washed 3 times with methanol, and the reduced NBT was extracted by adding a mixture of 92 *μ*L of 10 *M* KOH and 108 *μ*L of dimethyl sulfoxide.

Gases called CS and OC are used almost exclusively nowadays worldwide. OC is oleum capsicum (chili pepper oil), the active ingredient in pepper spray containing capsaicin, the highly pungent natural product. CS gas contains a chemical named 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile, a highly electrophilic agent activating pain receptors. Other agents have been used in the past, including some that are illegal now due to toxicity. CN gas was used in Vietnam in the Vietcong tunnels.

Tear gases are nerve gases that specifically activate pain-sensing nerves. Spelled out like that, people can better compare them to other nerve agents out there. That's the major discovery we made, that they are not benign or just irritants.

Tear gases were identified [and used] in World War I but without the knowledge of


use in Egypt and Turkey has been especially excessive and dangerous.

Law enforcement has to weigh the risk of tear gas injury of bystanders against gaining control in a riot situation, under the assumption that rioters break the law. Governments need to put in place immediate decontamination procedures for areas, and especially residences, when tear gas is used.

In the U.S. some activists have argued that their civil rights have been violated by use of tear gas against them. What do you think of cases like that?

In the U.S. law enforcement uses a lot of pepper spray, which also activates pain receptors and can have serious effects, but is not as toxic or severe as the classic tear gas that is being used in the Middle East.external dynamic conditions. Our assumption is based on biological evidence regarding the control of multiple muscles via the corticospinal tract. One of the policies is the group control policy (GCP), which is used to control muscle group units classified based on functional similarities in joint control. This policy is used to effectively resist external dynamic circumstances, such as disturbances. The individual control policy (ICP) assists the GCP in precisely controlling motion by controlling individual muscle units. To validate this hypothesis, we simulated the reinforcement of the synergistic actions of the two control policies during the reinforcement learning of feedback motion control. Using this learning paradigm, the two control policies were synergistically combined to result in robust feedback control under novel transient and sustained disturbances that did not involve


Imagine how refreshing the air would bein a community of open, caring honesty,without that hidden bucket of hurtsfermenting under the kitchen sink.
—Steve Garnaas-Holmes

Recently I read these words and saw my hurt fermenting in a particular bucket under a particular sink. That same week, I listened to others who’d been hurt and were gathering the courage to name it and talk about it with their offender. God was clearly prompting me to speak up.

I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. The last thing in the world I want to do is talk about my hurt with the person who hurt me.

If I open the door that hides that bucket, I know I’ll see the hurts I’ve caused in there too. Most likely the one I offendedcontinuous monthly employment of approximately 9 months each year. Although his employment record shows a pattern of steady reemployment each year, it is undisputed that the employee did not acquire tenure rights as a classified civil service laborer since he never worked the required "ten months within a 12 month period."[1] His most recent period of employment began on April 21, 1975, and would have terminated in mid-January 1976 had he not been discharged on September 12, 1975, for allegedly stealing 10 gallons of gasoline from his employer's work station.[2]
At the time of the employee's discharge, the union was the exclusive representative of some 14,000 state employees who were members of various "bargaining units" and was a party to the first collective bargaining agreement with the state authorized


methods, it demanded binding arbitration as authorized by Art. XVII, § 1, Step 4, of the collective bargaining agreement. The state vigorously insisted that the employee, who was classified as a monthly laborer without tenure, was not entitled to binding arbitration since Art. XVI, § 4, of the collective bargaining agreement arguably limited this procedure to "permanent" employees. Reserving the right to seek judicial review in the event of an adverse decision, the state nevertheless acceded to the union's demand for an arbitrator's resolution of both the issues of arbitrability and the merits of the employee's discharge. The arbitrator adopted the union's argument on arbitrability by determining that the employee satisfied one or more of the various criteria for "permanent employee" status and as such had a contractualof Section 2.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with immersing jewels in water and then drinking it.

And of course, the gemstone water people aren't talking about anything nearly that concrete and demonstrable in any case. Here's how they say it works:

Each type of gem, by nature, has its unique kind of energetic information. The gems inside the VitaJuwel vials transfer their information to the water that surrounds the vial and, thus,improve the waters' vitalization level. An effect which regular water drinkers might even be able to taste!

What exact "information" they're talking about is unclear, as is the means by which a gem could transfer this information into water through the sides of a glass bottle. The skeptics, though, they dismiss with the following inadvertently hilarious statement: "Infusing water with the power of gems is an age-old tradition and – comparable to homeopathy – hard to grasp by conventional 'scientific' means."

Yup. In fact, gemstone water works precisely like homeopathy does.

Oh, and by the way: they say it also works for a glass of wine. Which, after reading the shtick on this website, I feel like I could use one or two of.

Being a mentor doesn’t just involve the fun stuff. Making a shiva visit to an observant friend who is sitting together with non-observant family members is also a great opportunity to make a Kiddush Hashem. – and to help mend fences. (Rabbi Eli Gewirtz)

getting them to talk about the niftar is even more important, and can permanently alter long-held resentment. In general, when the family sees that the mentor really cares, and that he or she is not trying to impose his or her halachos on the non observant family, their involvement is usually gratefully welcomed.”

Rabbi Gewirtz’s words ring true to me. Over the last seven years, I have learned with two partners in Torah mentors. Although I will always give PIT the credit for making the shidduch, long ago, I stopped thinking of these dear women as my PIT mentors, and started thinking of them as friends whom I hope will be a part of my life for many years to come.

Although in principle applicable to arbitrary scanning probe microscopy investigations, the invention and its background will be explained with respect to investigations of semiconductor surfaces by tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). TERS is a relatively new technique for investigating sample surfaces that is based on a combination of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and Raman spectroscopy. A sharp tip such as used in SPM is brought into close distance to or actual contact with a sample surface to be investigated, thereby forming


“The discovery would be on par with the direct detection of gravitational waves three years ago,” which won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics.

So, in preparation of what might be a momentous day, here’s what you need to know about the announcement.

How did we discover black holes?

Black holes unite some of the most buzzworthy topics in physics: Einstein’s theory of general relativity, quantum mechanics, the evolution of the universe (cosmology) and even religion.

The idea of a black hole was first conceived by a British, astronomy-minded clergyman named John Michell in the late 1700s. While mulling the discovery of stars that exist in binary (pairs) or triplets, Michell theorized that the gravitational forces of one star might affect light beaming from another.

His thoughts extended the proposition to the extremewhere both our knowledge, but also our ignorance come together,” Dijkgraaf said. Peering at a black hole may reveal the place where gravity and quantum mechanics meet or how the universe might end.

“In the far future, black holes will play an important role because they will no doubt will suck up more and more matter,” Dijkgraaf said. “At some point, the whole universe could end up in a space filled with black holes.”

He described this type of international collaboration as a worldwide brain, and added that such projects show the incredible importance of countries working together.

“We see that large international collaborations are in some sense more stable because they cannot be cut off at the whim of one government or no one research institute. They have a certain

Examples of strong bases suitable for this reaction are lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) and lithium hexamethyldisilazane. Benzoin 33 may be converted to benzil 34 by reaction with a suitable oxidizing agent, such as bismuth oxide or manganese dioxide, or by a Swern oxidation using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and trifluoroacetic anhydride. Benzil 34 may be obtained directly by reaction of the anion of cyanohydrin 31 with a substituted benzoic acid halide. Any of compounds 33 and 34 may be used as intermediates for conversion to imidazoles 35 (where R2 is alkyl) according totable to a supporting substrate. In an effort to provide cutting elements having diamond tables that are more thermally stable relative to non-leached diamond tables, but that are also relatively less brittle and vulnerable to shear, compressive, and tensile stresses relative to fully leached diamond tables, cutting elements have been provided that include a diamond table in which the catalyst material has been leached from a portion or portions of the diamond table. For example, it is known to leach catalyst material from the cutting face, from the side of the diamond table, or both, to a desired depth within the diamond table, but without leaching all of the catalyst material out from the diamond table.

We are sympathetic, but are unable to accept counsel's description of this case.  Essentially, what he asks us to do is to disregard the provisions of the Social Security Act so as to render what he believes to be justice to his client.  This is not our function.  Counsel, in all of his interesting capacities, should address his views to the Congress, not to us.

Did Family Guy Hint About Kevin Spacey’s Pedophilia Lifestyle in 2005?

Yesterday, Kevin Spacey was accused of making sexual advancements toward actor Anthony Rapp, who was only 14-years-old. In wake of the allegations against Spacey, Seth MacFarlane appears to have left a hint over a decade ago that joked about Spacey’s sexual predatory misdeeds.

A 2005 video clip from MacFarlane’s animated comedy show Family Guy resurfaced on YouTube, in which one of the characters, an infant named Stewie, is bet eight dollars to run naked through a crowded mall yelling, "Help! I've escaped from Kevin Spacey's basement!" Stewie shouted. “Help me!”

McFarlane strangely has a history of doing this. In light of the recent wave of allegations against Harvey Weinstein, a video of MacFarlane joking about Weinstein’s sexual predatory behavior at
