new and optimum drugs in combination with ionizing radiation to a blood vessel to reduce and/or inhibit restenosis and hyperplasia rates with increased efficacy. It would further be desirable to provide such devices and methods which significantly reduce dose concentrations of the drugs and/or radiation within the vessel wall while delivering sufficiently uniform radiation dosages and promoting endothelialization of the vessel wall. At least some of these objectives will be met by the devices and methods of the present invention described hereinafter.
2. Description of Background Art
Full descriptions of exemplary x-ray sources for use in the present invention are described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/299,304, assigned to the assignee herein, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,095,966, licensed to the assignee herein. Devices and methods for exposing intravascularin p16‐3MR mice treated with GCV for 6 months to clear senescent cells late in life (Supporting Information Figure S4 ). However, the effects were not as pronounced, suggesting that prolong senescence clearance is needed to produce beneficial effects.

Effects of GCV treatment on disc aggrecanolysis of p16‐3MR mice. (a) Immunoblot of MMP‐ and ADAMTS‐mediated cleavage of aggrecan of discs of young mice (lanes 1–4), vehicle‐treated old mice (lanes 5–8) and GCV‐treated old mice (lanes 9–12). Graphs on right are quantification of aggrecan fragments shown in panel on left. Data shown are mean ± SD of 4 independent experiments, * p < 0.05

Disc matrix PG loss is largely due to destruction of aggrecan, the major PG structural constituent of the disc extracellular matrix. Disc aggrecan fragmentation catalysed by MMP


in the old p16‐3MR mice treated with GCV. Disc sections from three representative mice of each group (p16‐3MR Young, Old‐Veh and Old‐GCV) are shown. Scale bar = 50 μm of H&E‐stained disc sections

To determine whether GCV treatment blunts disc degenerative changes in aged mice, we performed H&E histological analysis to compare the gross morphological disc features between young and old mice. We quantified the changes in several key disc histological features using the histological grading system previously established by Tam and her coworkers for mouse discs (Alvarez‐Garcia, Matsuzaki, Olmer, Masuda, & Lotz, 2017 ; Tam et al., 2018 ). Histology grading was done in a blinded manner by three scorers on multiple H&E‐stained disc sections from each of the four individual mice in the Young, Old‐Veh and Old‐GCVPBS vehicle. In contrast, NP and AF disc tissue of the GCV‐treated mice contained mostly nuclear HMGB1‐positive cells (Figure 2 b and Supporting Information Figure S2 ). These results demonstrate increased disc cellular senescence with age and that the year‐long treatment of p16‐3MR mice with GCV effectively eliminated most of disc senescent cells. However, it is important to note that our systemic GCV treatment eliminates p16 Ink4a ‐positive cells in all tissues, not just the disc.

To determine whether our year‐long systemic treatment of p16‐3MR mice with GCV reduces the percent of senescent cells from disc tissue, we measured RFP as a surrogate marker for p16 since it is driven by the p16 Ink4a promoter. In our study, expression of RFP in nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosus (AF)


Student's t test was used for parametric data (graphs a1, a2, b2), and the Mann–Whitney test was used for two‐variable nonparametric data (graphs a3, c). Data are means ± SD of four independent experiments (4 mice) for graphs a1, a3, c and three mice for graphs a2, b2. * p < 0.05. Y = young and O = old. Representative Western images of three different young (lanes 1, 3, 5) and old (lanes 2, 4, 6) mice are shown in panels a2, a3, and b2)

Evidence of increased disc cellular senescence with age in humans, rats and in an accelerated aging mouse model was previously reported. However, it was not known whether cellular senescence also occurs in the discs of naturally aged mice. In order to study the effectsincluding PG content and cellularity. However, much like these past reported studies, our current study relied on models wherein the stressors and therapeutic treatments had systemic effects, so it is unclear whether these effects occur if the stress or therapeutic intervention is induced only locally in the intervertebral disc tissue. Further investigation is needed to resolve the ambiguity about the relative contributions of systemic vs. local factors to age‐associated disc degeneration.

The observed improvement in disc pathology in p16‐3MR mice treated with GCV is consistent with previous results using treatment of aged mice intermittently with senolytic agents. For example, the senolytic combination of dasatinib and quercetin was shown to not only reduce senescence and improve multiple age‐related pathologies, but also to improve PG content in the disc of progerioid

President Barack Obama's decision this week to increase America's training of Iraqi troops fighting ISIS was not what he contemplated when he completed a withdrawal of ground troops from the country in 2011.

But a lot has changed since he boasted of fulfilling that campaign promise.

Namely, ISIS.

The rise of the terror organization, aided by political strife that turned local Sunnis against the Iraqi government, has forced Obama to rethink his Iraq strategy.

In what critics see as a reversal, Obama said Wednesday he would send 450 military personnel to train Iraqi military at a base in Anbar province, where it has been losing ground to ISIS. That is in addition to the more than 3,000Americans already on the ground in advisory and training roles.

On Thursday, the Pentagon said it was considering opening additional bases in the Anbar area to expand those training operations.

"It's just more of what we've done before, which hasn't worked," said David Phillips, director of the Program on Peace-building and Rights at Columbia University's Institute for the Study of Human Rights.

He called the moves "throwing good money after bad."

But others caution against viewing this week's moves as evidence that Obama is going back on his word.

Fly rearing {#sec005}

Two established colonies of *C*. *vicina*, one from Frankfurt (Germany) and one from London (England), were processed as follows. Adult flies were held in rearing cages at room temperature (average temperature approximately 20°C, 79% RH) and a 12:12 L:D cycle. They were provided with water and sugar *ad libitum*. A piece of fresh pork liver was regularly placed into the cage as a protein source. At the beginning of each experimental run, the liver was checked for eggs 3 hours after placement. Resulting eggs were transferred into an incubator (LinTek MKKL 600/2), set at 25±1°C. Twenty-four hours after transferring the eggs into the incubator, hatched larvae were used for further experiments.

### Experimental set-up and sampling {#sec006}

Specimens of each geographic population were exposed to 3 different temperaturea principal component analysis (PCA) to display the major features in a dataset and discover patterns in the relations among specimens. Canonical variates analysis (CVA) was used to determine the most important shape characteristics for discriminating between groups (Germany and England) and among multiple groups of specimens (7 groups; Germany: Frankfurt am Main, Dortmund & Frankfurt laboratory colony; England: Exeter, Haywards Heath, Liverpool, and London laboratory colony). The statistical significance of pairwise differences in mean shapes was tested using permutation tests (10,000 replications) with Mahalanobis distances and Procrustes distances. Additionally, discriminant function analysis (DFA) and cross-validation test was used to confirm the individuals to the correct geographic regions. An UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average) dendrogram was constructed based on Mahalanobis distances from CVA using PAST V.3.09


(unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average) dendrogram was constructed based on Mahalanobis distances using PAST V.3.09 software (<http://folk.uio.no/ohammer/past/>).

### Phylogenetic analysis {#sec018}

Quality control and assembly of sequences were performed using CodonCode Aligner (V. 5.1.1, CodonCode Corporation). Alignments and phylogenetic analysis were conducted with MEGA 6 (Center for Evolutionary Medicine and Informatics) \[[@pone.0207188.ref036]\]. Tree construction was performed using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) method with the Tamura 3-parameter model \[[@pone.0207188.ref037]\]. 1000 bootstrap replicates were used to test the reliability of the constructed tree. The tree was rooted with two Muscidae: *Stomoxys calcitrans* (DQ533708.1) and *Stomoxys uruma* (EU851371.1) as outgroups.

expected that increase in RAD52 concentration can compensate for *E*~FRET~ decrease by recovering population of RAD52--ssDNA complexes. In agreement with this prediction, maximum *E*~FRET~ was observed at higher concentrations of RAD52 when dsDNA was present in the reaction ([Figure 3F](#f3){ref-type="fig"}). In contrast, all *E*~FRET~ binding curves for RAD52^Y104pCMF^ showed *E*~FRET~ maximum at the same protein concentration ([Figure 3G](#f3){ref-type="fig"}), suggesting that dsDNA binding is impaired in RAD52^Y104pCMF^.

Competition experiment was performed by adding unlabelled non-complementary and complementary ssDNA to stoichiometric (7 nM protein per 1 nM of DNA substrate) wrapped RAD52 or RAD52^Y104pCMF^ and Cy5-(dT)30-Cy3 complex ([Supplementary Figure S4](#S1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). In both cases, labelled ssDNA and annealed dsDNA product were more efficiently released from RAD52^Y104pCMF^ than from unmodified RAD52. This observation provides additional confirmation that pCMF incorporation in RAD52^Y104pCMF^ affects secondaryDNA, possibly promoting ssDNA annealing during SSA and the second-end capture step of recombinational DSB repair.

We previously reported that the search for regions of extended complementarity and ssDNA annealing proceed via sequential rearrangements of the RAD52--ssDNA complexes ([@b54]). Single-molecule analyses in this study revealed that spontaneous repositioning of RAD52 on gapped DNA occurs with discrete step size ([Figure 6](#f6){ref-type="fig"}) and that RAD52 or RAD52^Y014pCMF^ can diffuse on ssDNA ([Supplementary Figure S7](#S1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}) similar to SSB diffusion on ssDNA ([@b55]). This dynamic nature of RAD52 bound to DNA may help RAD52 to distribute along resected DNA while searching for the region of adequate complementarity as well as expanding ssDNA annealing region after initial pairing. Y104pCMF modification stimulates RAD52 localization to and wrapping of ssDNA region of DNA by inhibiting RAD52

Farmers are still getting a handle on what it costs to harvest, store and deliver corncobs. An acre of corn produces about 1,000 dry pounds of cobs, according to the University of Minnesota West Central Research and Outreach Center’s 2008 research.That year, it cost roughly $33 per acre to harvest and deliver cobs, says Mike Reese, WCROC renewable energy director. Costs are likely to drop as equipment efficiency improves and growers get more experience handling cobs, Reese says, so more economic evaluation is needed.

lead in the GOP caucus.

Nearly 20 percent of the incoming Democratic caucus will hail from California, and using data primarily from Gary Jacobson’s data set on House elections from 1946 to 2014, I found that no state has ever been responsible for a larger percentage of the majority party’s House caucus during the post-World War II period.

That said, California’s share of the Democratic caucus has been even larger than it is now — 20.7 percent after 2014 and 20.1 percent after 2016. The catch is that Republicans won the majority in both of those elections, which meant that even though California represented a significant share of the Democratic caucus, the state’s representatives had relatively little power.

In the Republican delegation, Texas has held the most seats since 2004 (countingbetween the president and California in recent years, it would make sense that California Democrats would push hard on environmental issues, even if a Republican Senate and president mean that those initiatives have little chance of becoming law.

In Laravel 4 you couldn't name a route from the Route object itself (though you could do other stuff that was more directly relevant to the route) but in 5 you now can.
So a quick primer on chaining: by returning $this in a method, you allow this kind of method chaining $route->name('whatever')->where('id', '\d+'). That, I presume, you already know.
So the additional layer of facade is nothing special - the facade's get/post/etc. method just returns the Route instance (eventually, as you say!) which is then ripe for chaining.
So here's where it gets fun. In Laravel 4, the naming of a Route was only available on RouteCollection, not on the Route itself - that's because the RouteCollection managed the Routes' names. Nowadays, that is no longer the case. Each RouteThursday, September 29, 2011

Well, close enough. The title of this post contains a slight geographical exaggeration, given that I live more than 30 miles from Glendale, California, but we are neighbors in the Los-Angeles-Suburban-Sprawl sense. Other than that, it’s pretty accurate.

Maybe she shouldn’t have been taken aback; In Cold Blood, a modern classic of narrative nonfiction as well as a landmark in the true-crime genre, has been banned before – most recently, from a high-school AP English curriculum in Georgia. (It was later reinstated.) If you’re curious about why the book’s so controversial, Kim has a “Virtual Read-Out” excerpt posted at at Sophisticated Dorkiness.

times the story meandered. Description of some events was excessively graphic, while others seemed fuzzy. It was interesting to note, since we were reading this for the Faith & Fiction group, that the world depicted here isn’t an overtly religious one, and those aspects of the novel are more metaphorical. I don’t read much co-written fiction, so I don’t know whether that’s a factor in the rather inconsistent quality of the writing.

Despite not being especially impressed with Forbidden as fiction, I found its ideas interesting. I don’t think I’d line up for the rest of the series, but if it found its way into my hands, I’d probably want to see what happens next.

Most of you know - either because you participated yourself, or because you just couldn't escape all the posts from bloggers who were participating - that last week was Book Blogger Appreciation Week.

The 2011 BBAW theme was "Cultivating a Community of Bloggers and Readers." I posted according to the daily BBAW prompts on four of the five days, and had a wonderful time re-connecting with old book-blogging friends and getting to know new ones, which was what I hoped to get out of the week. It's left me feeling re-committed to keeping up better with the many blogs I follow and


are reasons for it - domestic responsibilities, work, reading and writing that I'm doing for publication elsewhere - but I don't like this sense of distance. I've fallen behind in reading your blogs. I've posted less regularly, and my commenting had been quite limited aside from responding to your comments on those less-regular posts. I need BBAW to re-connect me. I appreciate book bloggers, and I appreciate being able to count myself among them.”

So far, BBAW has been accomplishing that reconnection. I’ve already added at least a half-dozen new blogs to my feed reader, and I’ve left more comments during the past couple of days than I’ve done in weeks! That’s been a good reminder for me that when it comes to fostering connection and community, a bigJeanne’s insightful discussions of it - and pretty much everything else she talks about.

It’s All About Books: Suey is my blogging-birthday twin (our blogs were both born on March 16, 2007), fellow Weekly Geeks team member, and is always full of enthusiasm for books, blogging, and music.

That’s What She Read:Michelle is one of my fellow co-founders of Armchair BEA, and it’s an honor to be on the team with her. Thoughtful and insightful, she’s also one of those bloggers whose posts I always read even if the book she’s discussing isn’t my thing.

An unfinished person (in this unfinished universe): My favorite ambivalent book blogger (he’s never sure if he actually is one), Bryan’s also a Facebook friend and chief of the Sunday Salon police. I read just about


everything he posts too, because I never know what to expect from him.

Sophisticated Dorkiness: Kim’s much closer to my son’s age than to mine, but it doesn’t matter. We’ve worked on blogging projects together and hung out at BEA, she’s influenced a lot of my nonfiction reading, and she’s a friend on- and offline. Age ain’t nothin’ but a number.

I wanted to mention a few others whose posts I will almost always read, no matter what they’re talking about. In addition to their fine blogging, I’ve had the chance to meet all of them offline. I fully believe in online connections, but I’ve found they’re enhanced by in-person communication.

are a direct benefit of the higher T.sub.m s. Therefore, it would be most desirable to be able to make polyetherketones of a variety of E/K ratios, such as below that of PEEK or PEK, as needed, from a limited number of simple monomers beyond the scope of the prior art.
The polyetherketones that have been commercially manufactured, namely ICI's Victrex.TM. PEEK and Raychem's Stilan.TM., are/were made from a minimum of starting materials. Victrex.TM. PEEK is made from hydroquinone and 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone and Stilan.TM. was made from p-phenoxybenzoylchloride. The starting materials in both cases are expensive; however, because of the cost of making difluorobenzophenone, Stilan.TM. on a raw-material basis is perceived to be the cheaper polymer. Because Stilan.TM. has the lower E/K ratio of 1 as contrasted to 2 forincubation in 3% BSA blocking buffer for 2 h, the membrane was treated with one of the primary antibodies, followed by the respective secondary antibodies.

United States National Museum (USNM). Chase retired from the USDA in 1939, but continued her work as custodian of the USNM grass herbarium until her death in 1963. She was an Honorary Fellow of the Smithsonian Institution (1959) and Fellow of the Linnean Society of London (1961). Agnesia is named in her honour (a monotypic genus of herbaceous South American bamboo in the grass family).

Chase experienced discrimination based on her gender in the scientific field, for example, being excluded from expeditions to Panama in 1911 and 1912 because the expedition's benefactors feared the presence of women researchers would distract men. During World War I, Chase marched with Alice Paul and was jailed several times for her activities. In 1918, she was arrested at the Silent Sentinels rally picketingantigen Saccharopolyspora rectivirgula in a model of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. The formation of an adaptive immune response was evaluated based on serum antibody titers and production of T cell-derived cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and IL-17A). We find that lung ILC2s play a critical role in priming the adaptive type 2 immune response to inhaled allergens, including the recruitment of eosinophils, TH2 cytokine production and serum IgE levels. Surprisingly, systemic priming with ovalbumin, with or without adjuvants, circumvents the requirement for ILC2s in inducing TH2-driven lung inflammation. ILC2s were also found to be dispensable for the sensitization to TH1- or TH17-inducing antigens.

I have always thought that this was an area where visualization had great potential, and again it contrasts with the view that visualization should be used to give an “honest”, “truthful” representation of data, “like it is”. Again, I feel this is the most common view here. The paper looks at minute aspects of visualizations and describe how they can influence the way users form opinion. Then again, it’s only hugely relevant to relatively few people, like politicians, advocacy groups, journalists, communication and advertising agencies, or those businesses that try to sell things.

I won’t go in much details about the next session of the morning about infoVis techniques, chaired by Jason Dykes. I am confident however that such techniques and especially those of the firstand conclusions explored in even the most inconsequential study can spark ideas in somebody else which creates a sequence of knowledge we can’t plan for. It might have determined nothing of intellectual importance or practical value, but the fact that it arrived at that outcome is still of importance to others in a “there’s nothing to see down there, move along” kind of way.

Stephen takes a swipe at the information visualisation research community and its focus on the creation of technology to the detriment of “the purpose of information visualization, which is to help people think more effectively about data, resulting in better understanding, better decisions, and ultimately a better world“:

Technical achievement should be rewarded, but not technical achievement alone. More important criteria for judging the merits of

Day Three – Tuesday 25th October

VisWeek, take 2.

Why wasn’t there a VisWeek Day 2 post? Yesterday’s sessions were more technical and specialized than the workshop I attended the first day, so it’s difficult to summarize them honestly in a few sentences. I really enjoyed Daniel Keim’s overview of text analytics though. Daniel explained the main difficulties of text visualizations: that text is somewhat loosely structured, that text analytics is imprecise at best – if humans fail to understand irony, how can we get computers to succeed? – and that on topthe brain, that is how perceiving two different stimuli is different as perceiving the sum of those 2 stimuli. In the last part of his talk he elaborated on how cognitive science can help social sciences, notably with a tool called Empathica but I find it difficult to report that concisely so I invite you to check the tool out.

In the afternoon I liked the session about tree, network and social network analysis. 2 cool systems were presented to represent “regular” tabular data (i.e. rows and columns) in a network form (nodes and edges): ploceus and orion, which worked wonderfully well on the examples that were presented.

The last paper of that session was the one that impressed me most for that day, it was about creating (and exploring)


time discussing it. Then came the question, why target a wide audience vs the vis community? Does it even make sense? We agreed though that on visualization blogs there could be helpful insight that can be picked up through a google search long, long after the publication date. This is helpful, as few people know proper visualization techniques outside the visualization community. One other point on which there was a fair consensus is that while it’s unrealistic to attempt to compete with flowingdata.com or infosthetics.com, it is valuable to keep blogging, be it to write reviews and opinions, tutorials, launch discussions or just cover a specific field. Biological visualizations, for instance, seem pretty much unblogged at the moment…

And that concludes today’s report. Tomorrow will be the first dayfeed may have seen me post a link to a set of Flickr images collated by Professor Michael Stoll, of the Department of Design at the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences. Having browsed around the rest of his incredible collections and sets I decided it necessary to capture this work in a more substantive way via this blog post.

The simple piece of advice is to immerse yourself in this wonderful catalogue of vintage and inspirational design collections. Here are a few examples:

The details and the purpose of the study were explained to the school authorities and permission was obtained from them before conducting the study. The lists of adolescent girls between the age group of 13 and 18 years were obtained from each of the school. There were a total of 360 students distributed in three schools. Among them, 110 did not give consent to participate in the study. Therefore, a total of 250 willing participants were selected for the study.

The Cox model suggested that fractional change in greatest tumor dimension on CT at the time points studied relative to the prebiopsy CT was correlated to survival.

Tag: extrinsic story

I meant to write up GameCamp 5 the week after we went, but what with work and writing and venue hunting for Zombie one thing drives out another, as Barliman Butterbur would tell you.

It was different this time. For one thing, last time we felt fairly out of place as live game designers rather than video game designers; it wasn’t unpleasant, but there was a definite sense that we were in the minority. This time round lots of people were talking live experiences, and mixed sessions didn’t carry the same assumptions about the group. That’s a little fascinating – does it reflect a wider uptake in live gaming generally? Certainly seems so to me – there are lots of folks starting to do pervasive games and


interesting live experiences, a burgeoning scene that seems to be moving towards LARP from other disciplines and landing somewhere in the middle. Critical vocabulary is missing here; lots of people (like us) are drawing on all sorts of theory and work in other fields and applying it to making games in the real world. That’s exciting.

The other big change was in the way people at GameCamp talked about stories in games. Last time around, Grant and I ran a session about emergent story, discussing the concept of procedurally and structurally generated narratives that emerge through player interaction with the game, but aren’t “told” by the game. This time I think every story-related session I went to invoked the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic stories, usually with an understandingWikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange has allegedly been issued an Ecuadorian ID in a bid to end his 5-year confinement. The UK Foreign Office reportedly rejected a request from Quito to grant the whistleblower diplomatic status.

Assange’s ID was issued on December 21, Ecuadorian outlet El Universo reports, citing “reliable sources” and providing the civil registry number to check on the government website. The document number 1729926483, upon checking on the Internal Revenue Service, is indeed registered to one Julian Paul Assange.

In the meantime the Government of Ecuador “recently requested diplomatic status for Mr Assange here in the UK,” a Foreign Office spokesperson told British media.

“The UK did not grant that request, nor are we in talks with Ecuador on this matter,” the FCO spokesman added. "Ecuador knows that the


way to resolve this issue is for Julian Assange to leave the embassy to face justice.”

The mystery of what happens next was further fueled by Assange himself, after he cryptically uploaded a picture of himself dressed in a yellow, blue and red shirt, the colors of the Ecuadorian flag.

The post was his first activity on the platform since his strange message on New Year’s Day, which featured a 60 character code and a link to the popular song ‘Paper Planes’ by British rapper MIA. The tweet sparked widespread speculation over what, if anything, the seemingly random string of letters and numbers meant.

RT is trying to verify whether the document in question is indeed related to Julian Assangeand to determine the status of his alleged Ecuadorian citizenship.

It appears the Ecuadorian government has granted Julian Assange some kind of formal documentation such as an ID card, human rights activist Peter Tatchell told RT. If that’s the case, it could pave the way for giving him a passport and even diplomatic status, he added.

“The granting of an identity card is of course potentially the first step towards being granted citizenship of Ecuador, and beyond that, the possibility that he could be granted diplomatic status, which would give him diplomatic immunity,” Tatchell explained.

“And the suggestion might be that if he was granted diplomatic immunity he would therefore be free to leave the embassy and travel to Ecuador, and the British government would not be able to lay


sign of the shift with respect to the ideal gas transition temperature $T_c^0$ (for a review see Ref. [@andersen]). In the weakly interacting limit the shift of the critical temperature $\Delta T_c = T_c - T_c^0$ due to interactions has a linear dependence $\Delta T_c/ T_c^0 \simeq c n^{1/3}a$ [@baymPRL99; @holzmann2001], where $n$ is the density and the coefficient $c=1.29(5)$ was determined using Monte Carlo simulations of a classical-field model defined on a discrete lattice [@Kashurnikov01; @ArnoldMoore01]. Continuous-space Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of Bose gases with short-range repulsive interactions have shown that this linear form is valid only in the regime $n^{1/3}a \lesssim 0.01$, while at stronger interaction $T_c$ reaches a maximum where $\Delta T_c / T_c^0 \simeq 6.5\%$ and then decreases for $n^{1/3}a \gtrsim 0.2$ [@pilati2008]. This suppression of $T_c$ occurs\cdot 10^{-4}$. In this region universality in terms of the scattering length is preserved, both in absence of external potentials [@giorgini99] and in the optical lattice [@pilati2012]. Details of our model interparticle potential other than $a$ ([*e.g.*]{}, the effective range and the scattering lengths in higher partial waves) are irrelevant, hence our results quantitatively describe experiments performed with ultracold atomic gases in which the interaction strength is tuned using broad Feshbach resonances.

In conclusion, we have investigated the combined effect of interactions and external periodic potentials on the superfluid transition in a 3D Bose gas. Previous approximate theoretical studies addressed the onset of superfluidity in weak unidirectional optical lattices [@zobay], and the mean-field suppression of $T_c$ in combined harmonic plus optical-lattice potentials [@blakie]. The determination of $T_c$ in extended systems is a highly


a different policy. See memorandum of this Court in civil action No. 394 entitled Air Terminal Servives, Inc. v. Rentzel, Administrator, D.C., 1949, 81 F.Supp. 611.
Therefore, on the date of the events here pleaded, segregation was mandatory at the airport. Failure of the defendant to enforce segregation would have subjected it to the penalties of the Assimilative Crimes Act and the regulations of the Administrator.
Five of the six counts are against Air Terminal Services, Inc., only, while Count III. is solely against Eastern and is the only count in the complaint against that defendant. All of the counts are predicated upon a denial of the rights of the plaintiff under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution and under the Civil Rights Act, 8 U.S.C.A. §§Nixon v. Herndon, 273 U.S. 536, 47 S.Ct. 446, 71 L.Ed. 759. Neither the Fourteenth Amendment nor the Civil Rights Act, 8 U.S.C.A. § 41 et seq., is relevant, because the segregation here was not State action or under color of a State law.
As we have previously indicated, the only count of the complaint against Eastern is No. III. In substance it posits the liability of Eastern Airlines. Inc. upon the ground that it sent the plaintiff to the dining room without warning her of the fact that she would be refused service. The other allegations of fact contained in the complaint readily disclose that such acts of Eastern on this occasion are too removed and too remote to be considered as causing, or contributing to cause, injury


uphill paths can often be found. …

Despite the vast size of sequence space and the complex nature of protein function, the Darwinian algorithm of mutation and selection provides a powerful method to generate proteins with altered functions.

This is the apologetics message of the paper that informs the popular literature. Whereas the research paper’s undefendable, non scientific statements were limited, now in the survey paper they frame the narrative from beginning to end. Evolution, one way or another, must have happened, so the evidence must support it. There can be no contradictory evidence.

To make this story sound scientific, the paper equivocates on evolution. It conflates the protein engineering findings that nature’s proteins can adapt with the evolutionary narrative:

Despite their complexity and finely-tuned nature, proteins are remarkably evolvable: they canunderstand.....

Never mind. It defeats the purpose of the whole discussion correct?

I am currious how long this poste will be up and if it will even appear for a little bit.

We will see.

This is experimental (I am a scientist), so please don't think I am angry or what. I am just conducting an experiment.

One as pedant said above (I actually don't remember any more what that was about) I had quite some not even showing up. Some of it I blaim on my slow internet connection that I have at home. I am not worried about that. This problem is on my end.

However, the second one was on January 15thNew Genes: Putting the Theory Before the EvidenceThere it just sayes something like comment removed by an administrator. Nothing else.


results in a few days just by adding recombination. Then Frances Arnold (who you cited here) recombined a couple of her mutants, and got great results too.===

No, again, this is with native sequences.

===Then I worked out the numbers. No way to deny it. Both the numbers and the experiments said it quite clearly.

========From the cited review by Philip A. Romero and Frances H. Arnold:"An approach to making multiple mutations that is used extensively in nature is recombination. Naturally-occurring homologous proteins can be recombined to create genetic diversity within protein sequence libraries [73-75] (FIG 3a). It has been shown that ..."======

This is referring to native proteins, not random sequences.

I suppose you consider this a problem, but you don’t explain. Is it a problem because two random sequences are unlikelyarguments against my arguments...

"What contradictory evidence should have been discussed in the paper?"

I thot there was plenty of contradictory evidence in the article. It was just ignored. Darwinists just ratchet up the level of their unswerving faith in the creative power of random non-directed forces whenever that happens.

Pedant again says:"This is correct. The narrative was framed in the light of evolutionary theory. Alas, if only there were a competing theory in light of which the narrative could have been framed…"

Just because materialism cannot come up with a decent feasible theory doesn't mean we have to settle for Darwinism and force any and everything to conform to it. That shows how insecure evolutionists are. Can't admit to even the possibility that evolution might not be true. It is a


are native (or sequences with comprable functionality). But native sequences as starting points, OTH, are quite adaptable.

Yes, you can take random sequences as starting points and evolve them a bit, but you're nowhere close to native functionality. To use the fruitful results of recombination of native sequences as evidence that recombination can save the day in evolving from a random starting point is an unsupported argument. These are two different cases.

##################"It is not a cop out. What is easy in PCR is not necessarily easy in a warm little pond, or ocean vent, etc. In fact, this is an example of how evolutionists inappropriately marshall properties of biology for support for their theory."

An organism have to actively fight against spontaneous recombination. When it fails it causes chromosomal instabilityspecies cannot originate in the way we have witnessed them to originate today. Thanks for setting that straight Cornelius. Thinking that life was life in the past, and that biological processes and other natural processes were the same in the past is just ridiculous. Those evil evolutionists. For evolution as in common descent to be true, it would have to rely on specific processes to evolution. It has no right to rely on known processes no matter how convincing they appear to be.

Now that we killed the ridiculous idea that species could arise in the past from previous populations through selection from variability, which can be increased by mutation and potentiated by recombination, there is no reason to try and destroy that other idea about origin of life.


might not be able to do that and I feel sorry for you. But, this doesn't mean it is true for everybody on this world.

In fact, it is not true for many many many people and I am one of them and I realy can't understand where the problem is.

So homologous recombination that can result in improved protein function is, probably, not random. It seems like it is controlled by prexisting mechanisms. We aren't sure what these are, or how they work. This is sort of what Dr. Hunter was saying above.

and, who is next on your list of being accused of having religious motivations beneath their well suported scientific theories?

The Physicists or the Chemistrists?

Are we allowed to do anything that does not require believing in the existancestart with prior probabilities when estimating likelihoods. You start with prior probabilities when estimating posterior probabilities.

Just to give you an idea of the difference between the two: There are essentially two probabilities in bayesianism as it applies here: (1)likelihood, the likelihood of getting an observation given a hypothesis. (2) Posterior probability, the probability of your hypothesis given a certain observation. Sober uses the example of the observation that you have noises coming from the attic and the hypothesis that there are gremlins bowling up there. The likelihood here is very high, since bowling gremlins would be expected to create a lot of noise. The probability, however, is very low since noises from the attic are rarely made by gremlins bowling.

Now, Cornelius has been talking about likelihoods, i.e. the


including that there are gremlins in the attic, makes hearing noises upstairs likely. But how does the hypothesis that evolution occurred make polar bears or anything else unlikely?

Think of it like this: if we were to replay the tape of life, i.e. if we were to go back in time to the first replicating cell, would you expect everything to look like it does now? Would you expect to see multicellular organisms? Would you expect to see eukaryoutes? Would you expect to see animals? Would you expect to see mammals? Would you expect to see polar bears? If your answer to the last question is "no", then the evolution of polar bears is unlikely. Please note (and this is a point that I think Cornelius fails to grasp)style='width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0'>

Like most American cities, Nashville is facing a critical shortage of affordable housing. Unlike most cities, its former mayor, Megan Barry, resigned under a scandal in March. Then in May, voters overwhelmingly rejected a $5.4 billion transit plan that proponents hoped would transform the Nashville metro area for the better, reducing congestion and creating better mobility options for pedestrians, bicyclists, and bus and train commuters. The same month, the new mayor, David Briley, released a budget that included no cost-of-living increases for Nashville’s public school employees.

Partially in response to the budget shortfall, Nashville Metropolitan Council Member Bob Mendes proposed a solution: Leave the school district’s revenue out of tax increment financing


TIF deals are largely insulated from the political process in its day-to-day administration. Deals are made between MDHA officials and developers and then brought to the council for approval.

Officials with MDHA and the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Community Development did not respond to interview requests. Both bodies have two appointees each on the seven-member TIF study committee, with city council appointing the other three.

“So far, the people who’ve been appointed hit a spectrum of development people, city finance people, and I’m assuming the council is going to pick some community advocate people, and it will be balanced,” Mendes says.

Greg LeRoy, executive director of Good Jobs First, which tracks economic-development subsidies, says cities everywhere should consider keeping schools’ portion of property-tax revenue whole when making TIF deals.

“Education isrender patients insensitive to treatment with signal inhibitory anti-EGFR therapeutics [@pone.0013474-Loupakis1], [@pone.0013474-Heinemann1]. We here show that such mutated colorectal cancer cells are highly sensitive to lysis by an EpCAM-specific T cell-engaging antibody, suggesting that redirected lysis by T cells is not affected by mutations in intracellular signaling proteins of the EGFR pathway. This is explained by the mode of BiTE antibody action in which the surface target antigen serves as mere anchor for T cell engagement. The highly sub-saturating amounts of BiTE antibody as used for redirected lysis are moreover unlikely to modulate signaling activity of the target in a meaningful way. By contrast, anti-receptor antibodies like panitumumab and cetuximab rely on saturating target binding for signal inhibition.

Accordingly, prior art has taught the use of two panes of glass in a skylight assembly, but such constructions have been fraught with problems. One major problem has been with the sealings around the window structures, especially since water has a tendency to collect at the lower end of flat glass structures disposed at inclines. Often, water penetrates through the seals and collects within the swinging window unit. Moreover, the manufacture of such double glass skylight assemblies has been difficult, since it has been the convention to first manufacture a double window structure, and then, to incorporate such window structure into a substantially larger frame of a skylight assembly.

down one fanbase arose in the summer when Ottawa faced it’s first CPL opponent in the Canadian Championship. This opponent would be Halifax. This 2-leg series meant a lot more than just advancing to the semi finals. This was the first time Fury would face a CPL team. Fury ended up winning this series and personally, the 2nd leg was one of the best games all season. The atmosphere was electric due to numerous Halifax fans attending the game and it felt like a European match. I personally believe this rivalry is awesome and it will be fun to keep going once the Fury join the CPL.

This study evaluated the effects of alcohol intoxication, sexual attitudes, and sexual victimization history on the cognitive processes underlying undergraduate women's risk judgments. Participants were 116 unmarried, undergraduate women between the ages of 21 and 29. The sample was diverse ethnically and composed primarily of heterosexual women. Stimuli were written vignettes describing social situations that varied on dimensions of sexual victimization risk and potential impact on women's popularity. Participants were assigned randomly to an alcohol or a no-alcohol condition, and completed an explicit classification task in which they rated how risky each situation was in terms of their having an unwanted sexual experience. They then completed the Sexual Experiences Survey (SES) and the Sociosexuality Scale (SS); SES

Serilog logging web-api methods, adding context properties inside middleware

I've been struggling to log response body payload data with serilog, logging from middleware.
I'm working on WEB API Core application, with swagger added to endpoints, and my goal is to log every endpoint call to a .json file with serilog (both request and response data).
For GET requests, body of the response should be logged (added to serilog context as a property), and for POST requests, both body of request and response should be logged.
I have created middleware and managed to properly retrieve data from request and response stream, and getting it as a string, but only the "RequestBody" is being logged properly.
When debugging, I can see that reading request/response body works fine.

Instead, Schapiro beat a hasty retreat, saying the study results shouldn't be read as actual incidents of prostitution.

"We're the first to tell you, this is not a precise count of the number of girls being prostituted," Schapiro said. "We make no bones about that."

Of course, a precise count of the number of girls being prostituted is exactly what the statistics are being presented as in the media, in press releases, and in Schapiro's own study. When this is pointed out, Schapiro reverses herself.

“The number one, overriding concern among everyone was who can beat Donald Trump,” said Shauna Johnson, a 44-year-old resident of Castle Pines, Colorado, speaking about herself and her group of friends. She voted for Biden in her first primary on Super Tuesday.

Many of Biden’s late-deciders had been

If nobody tells me about the style, how would I know that such a thing exist?
That's where resources such as blogs or Stack Exchange are handy. Wikipedia wouldn't help (unless you spend days hitting random pages about programming), and books rarely talk about those things.
The same applies as well to patterns and practices or things which are less related to code. For example, I hardly imagine some developer waking up in the morning telling himself that he must learn something about ITIL while he never heart about ITIL before.
Once you discovered a new term, it is pretty easy to learn about it. If you've given a new termbe on the same domain.

Registries allow their members to create wishlists for the special moments in their lives. What if wishlists had more functionality? What if you didn't just share the things you wish you had, but also the things that you own and love? What if you were able to discover more things that you could love based on the things that are already on your list? What if you got paid a commission whenever someone bought something through your list? What if the things you wish you had, became the things that you now own because others have bought that item, thanks to you? My Best And Worst List is not just a list, it's a whole new way to acquire the best andresourcing, which has created a huge backlog in court hearings. The government's failure to appoint more court registrars has put pressure on the system, and the underfunding of legal assistance services has increased the number of unrepresented litigants, who often rely on court staff for guidance.

Insult has now been added to injury and court staff have been forced to reject a recent EBA that offered them a pay increase of just one per cent over three years and cut a range of conditions—and that is after four years of no pay rise at all.

Measuring patient respect in the intensive care unit: Validation of the ICU-RESPECT instrument.
To validate a brief index of patient and family experiences of respect in the intensive care unit. A survey including the 10-item ICU-RESPECT scale was administered to patients and family members in one ICU at a large west coast academic medical center. Confirmatory psychometric analyses were conducted. Based on 142 completed surveys, factor analysis confirmed a unidimensional scale with an alpha of 0.90, an Eigen value of 4.9, and factor loadings from 0.50 to 0.86. The mean total score was 7.59 (SD = 3.06) out of a maximum of 10. Among the 106 surveys that included demographics, overall scores did not differ by type of respondent (patient or family) or by gender. There were modest differencesleave, and restricted hours of health service operation. This study explored the physical symptoms that extreme low-income Filipinos identified to influence health service-seeking behaviour.

4.1. Limitations in the System {#sec4.1}
------------------------------

From this experience, we find that passive case finding systems alone, where a TB symptomatic individual presents himself/herself to a healthcare facility, would not adequately capture suspected TB cases in high prevalence and resource-limited settings. Even for those who make it to the RHU for testing, their diagnosis might not be accurate. For our study participants, sputum smear microscopy is commonly used to provide preliminary information for a TB diagnosis. While the cost for this diagnostic test is low, it also has a low sensitivity (0.61). Additionally, those participants who were diagnosed using sputum smear microscopy were asked to return


TB patients globally \[[@B20]\]. Since cough is already recognized as a TB symptom, health promotion activities should aim to educate the public on the high percentage of asymptomatic cases in order to encourage testing even in the absence of prolonged cough. Relying solely on cough as a symptom is precarious since this symptom is highly dependent on severity, and is subjective to each individual\'s tolerance level. Additionally, detection through symptom screening, prolonged cough, has low sensitivity of 0.247 \[[@B6]\]. Though the results from this paper cannot be generalized for the whole of Philippines, they provide a good understanding of problems that need to be addressed to detect missing TB cases among individuals experiencing low-income, in order to achieve national targets.

B/R: "Fight forfound good psychometric properties for the WI-10. We also proposed the cut-off scores for the screening of the four kinds of workers proposed by Loscalzo and Giannini (2017): disengaged workaholics, engaged workaholics, engaged workers, and detached workers. The WI-10 will be useful for both research and preventive and clinical purposes.

1Introduction

Scholars have analyzed work in many aspects, such as the psychological health and well-being associated to jobs characterized by high stress, like those of military personnel (e.g., [1–3]) and healthcare professionals (e.g., [4–6]). Moreover, many researchers have been interested in the effects of the ergonomic and structural aspects of the job (e.g., [7–9]) and the influence that physical and mental health problems may have on work (e.g., [10–12]).

Among the various work-related aspects widely studied, there is also workaholism, a

Then, to conduct Confirmatory Factor Analyses, we recruited a sample of 300 Italian workers (101 males, 198 females, one missing) aged between 20 and 72 years (M = 40.12; SD = 11.20), all living in Tuscany. See Table 2 for more information about the samples.

Note. If the participant has a schooling levelWork-related Inventory (WI-36), we conducted Exploratory Factor Analyses (EFA; Principal Axis Factoring and Varimax rotation) on the first sample of participants (n = 203) and Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) on the second sample (n = 300). Then, we evaluated the convergent and divergent validity of the test through the analysis of the correlations (Pearson) between the reduced version of the WI, the DUWAS, and the UWES-9 (n = 203). We also calculated the internal reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) and the item-total correlations of the scales on the total sample (n = 503). Finally, to establish the cut-off scores for high and low Workaholism/Work Engagement, we calculated the T scores on the total sample (n = 503), and we selected the raw scores corresponding to±1 standard deviation, that is the


correlations are high, ranging between 0.65 and 0.73 for the Workaholism scale, and between 0.71 and 0.89 for the Work Engagement scale (n = 503).

3.2Convergent and divergent validity

Since the 8-item version of the WI-10 fits the data well, we referred to it for the following analyses on the psychometric properties of the WI-10 that we performed on the first sample of participants (n = 203). To assess the convergent and divergent validity of the WI-10, we examined the correlations between the WI-10 Workaholism and Work Engagement scales, the DUWAS total score and subscales (Working Excessively and Working Compulsively), and the UWES-9 total score. Table 4 shows the results of these correlation analyses.

3.3Cut-off scores for screening the four kinds of workers

To establish the cut-off scores for high/low Workaholism andBWAS for assessing the salience component (i.e., How often during the last year have you … Thought how to free up more time to work?). This item has proven to be problematic in the Italian version [33] of the Bergen Study Addiction Scale (BStAS) [34], which is the student’s version of the BWAS and that has been created by replacing in the BWAS items the words related to work with terms related to study. However, Molino [35] found that the Italian BWAS has a good factor structure by means of both EFA and CFA analyses (and hence that this item is not problematic). Therefore, we conclude that this item adequately addresses the salience addiction component in the overworking context, while it is not satisfactory in the overstudying field.

The approach we take is to study the dynamics of a periodic lattice of coupled variables (discrete in space and continuous in time) whose equations of motion were originally developed by Edward Lorenz in 1996 with the dynamics of the atmosphere and fluid convection in mind [@lorenz:1996]. The model has since become important in the study of forecasting spatiotemporally chaotic systems. The model is now known as the Lorenz-96 model and is described in detail below. We compute the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents and fractal dimension using standard approaches. The contribution of this paper is a systematic and careful study of the variations in the fractal dimension with changes in system parameters to gain physical insights into high-dimensional chaos. By exploring a


explored. For smaller systems $N \lesssim 10$ the deviations are largest whereas for $N>10$ the wavelength varies about an average value of $\xi_\lambda \approx 5.2$ lattice spacings. For the chaotic solutions, the fluctuations about the average value over the 10 different initial conditions yields a coefficient of variation of approximately $14\%$. For the periodic dynamics the wavelength of the periodic states were nearly identical to the precision of our calculations over the different initial conditions.

In both panels open symbols represent chaotic dynamics and filled symbols represent periodicnormalized deviation from extensivity $\Delta \tilde{D}$ for $F=5$ and $N \ge 25$. The constant normalization factor is chosen such that $\Delta \tilde{D}$ and $\tilde{\xi}_L$ each equal unity for $N=25$ allowing both curves to fit on a single plot. The wavelength results are given by the circles and the solid line (open symbols are chaotic dynamics, filled symbols are periodic dynamics). The deviations from extensivity are shown by the square symbols and the dashed line where gaps indicate regions of periodic solutions. In both cases the lines are curve fits to guide the eye.[]{data-label="fig:wavelength_dimension"}](fig4.eps){width="50.00000%"}

We next explore the dynamics for a larger value of the forcing $F=10$ over the range of system sizes $5 \le N \le 50$. For each system size we have performed 50


chaotic length scale is represented using circle symbols. The length scales have been normalized by their magnitude at $F=5$ to facilitate a comparison using a single plot. The normalized length scales are referred to as $\tilde{\xi}_L$ and $\tilde{\xi}_0$, respectively. The coefficient of variation, over the different initial conditions, for the chaotic length scale is quite small $\sim 0.01 \%$ whereas the pattern wavelength measurements are quite noisy with a coefficient of variation of $\sim 31\%$.

It is clear that the natural chaotic length scale decreases more rapidly than the pattern wavelength. The ratio of these two length scales yields an estimate for the number of chaotic degrees of freedom per pattern wavelength and is shown in Fig. \[fig:spaceF\].

in your phone.
And then when you select
one, the second activity
might be all of the information
about just one single contact.
So each of those would be
represented with different classes
and maybe their own models and views.
Next is resources.
And you can think of resources as all
of the other stuff in your Android app
that isn't just Java code.
So one example of a type
of resource is a layout.
So a layout in an Android app is going
to describe how a view should look.
And layouts, under the hood, are
defined using something called XML.
And if you've used HTML
before, they're really similar.
XML is essentially just a
more general version of that.
But you'll have tags and you'll define
a tag using that left and right bracket.
So here, I've created a
tag called linear layout.
And my tag has one child.
And that child isor minus a few.
And that's going to help keep
your apps memory usage down,
so it's not super slow and
can run on all devices.
So that's it for all the concepts we're
going to use in our first Android app.
So let's dive in.
So I'm back in Android Studio.
You'll notice that my
emulator is still running.
I like to leave it running because it
can take some time to startup sometimes
and there's no harm
in leaving it running.
So I'm going to come back over here
and click Start a new Android Studio
project.
Just like before, I'm going to
start with an empty activity,
since I'm going to
write everything myself.
And now we know what activity means.
It's just that one screen
in our application.
The application that we're going
to be writing today is a pokedex.
So we're going to take
some list of pokemon,
let the user browse


see an example of both.
But here, you can see we're
already using a few libraries.
We saw that we had that
AndroidX AppCompat class.
That was the base class
that our activity extended.
So here's where that came from.
We actually downloaded in the
background some library from AndroidX.
Its version was 1.1.0.
And then we could use that.
Similarly, that ConstraintLayout,
that also came from a library.
It came from this library called
androidx.constraintlayout,
happens to have a version.
And Gradle took care of downloading
those libraries, putting them somewhere
our application could use, and then
all we have to do is import them.
And that's basically it.
There's a few other files
that were generated,
but we're not too worried about those.
But that's everything that
we're going to need to use
to write our Android application.
So now, let's jump back
to our main activity
and get started writing our Android app.
So I'm justadapter.
And so this is a class that's
given to me from RecyclerView,
so it has a bunch of
methods inside of it.
And it also has a few methods that
it requires me to implement myself.
And this class is also a generic class.
And it takes, as its sort of type,
something called a view holder.
Now a view holder is what's going
to, as it sounds like, hold a view.
And it's going to allow me to
manipulate what's on the screen.
So we're going to say, here's a
view that's displayed on the screen.
I'm going to define a little
object to hold onto that view.
And from there I can modify some of
those layout elements I just described.
So we're going to write
this class, as well.
We haven't created it
yet, but we're going
to call it
PokedexAdapter.PokedexViewHolder.
So let's go ahead and
define that right now.
We're going


we now want
to create fields for those two things
we added IDs to.
If we jump back to that Pokedex
view, the view we want to hold
is one of these.
And it has two things.
It has a layout we care about.
And it has a text view
that we care about.
So let's go ahead and add
fields to this view holder class
to represent those two things.
So we're going to have a linear layout.
And let's call that our containerView.
And it's also going to have a text view.
And let's just call that our textView.
So now we want to access those
views from this base view.
And remember, the reason
we gave those things IDs
was so that we could do just this.
We can go from our Java code, grab
the object representing a text
view or linear layout, and get it back.
So thebecause we're
going to be writing the layout ourself.
So our activity name, let's
call it PokemonActivity.
And you'll notice here that
we have this checkmark that
enables us to generate a layout file.
So let's leave that checked so that
Android Studio rights a little bit
of that boilerplate for us.
Our layout name, we can keep
the same, just activity_pokemon.
Don't need to worry about anything
else here, so let's click finish.
And the file that's generated here is
just like the other files we've seen,
so nothing crazy there.
And you can see that we have
a new layout file over here
to the left called activity_pokemon.
So let's close out a
few of these other tabs.
And just like we did before, let's
start by writing our layout file.
So rather than using
a ConstraintLayout, we
can just use a linear layout,
since all we're going to do
is display a couple


to
and here's some data that I want
to pass along to that activity.
And so now the last thing
to do is just to call
start an activity with that intent.
So I can say getContext().startActivity
and pass along my intent.
So now, let's go ahead
and try running this.
Looks like my install worked, so
let's jump to the Android emulator.
Here's our recycler view as before.
Now let's tap on Bulbasaur here.
And there we go.
It looks like we're now displaying our
second activity with that information.
Just to be sure, let's
try tapping on Venusaur.
And it looks like we're successfully
passing data back and forth.
But now, when we look at this
recycler view, it's kind of smushed
and doesn't really look like a
lot of Android applications do.
When you start tapping
on something, there's
no indication that anything happened.
So let's make this recycler
view look a little bitfinishing
touch to this pokedex activity
before we're done.
Rather than displaying the
number 2, let's display it
as an actual pokedex would, where
the number is padded with zeros,
so it's always a three digit number.
So to do that I'm going to come
back to my PokemonActivity.
Rather than just setting the text
to this Integer.toString(number),
I'm going to use a method called
string.format that's basically
equivalent to printf() in C.
So I'm going to say string.format.
And just like printf(), this
is going to take two arguments.
The first one is my format string.
So remember that in order
to pad zeros to something,
I can just say %03d and that'll say,
give me an integer that's padded with--
it has always three digits.
It's padded with zeros if not.
And then my other argument
is just the integer
I want to format, which is number.
So same exact print syntax as printf.
So

Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.powerbrokers.

There are very few voices among those with formal or informal power within our party who are willing to contemplate, let alone advocate change - despite the increasingly loud calls for reform from members and branches.

I may be beating my head against a brick wall, and of course I will be criticised for what I am saying, but I cannot in good conscience cease to argue for a cause I believe is both right, and necessary, and in the Labor interest.

Labor's state and national conferences should also become more representative and democratic. Conferences must begin to include a component of directly elected delegates. Every eligible member of the party should have the opportunity to vote for these conference delegates, through direct member ballots. Proportionate regional zones could ensure

the development and application of good security measures. We are
strongly in favor of criminalizing inappropriate behavior, but we
urge the Council to avoid criminalizing the development, use, and
distribution of tools that are important to professionals -- in
commerce, academia, and government -- who are working to prevent
misuse.
We ask that the treaty drafters specifically recognize the legitimate
and important role that the creation and public dissemination of
demonstration code plays in advancing the information security
field. Moreover, we urge that appropriate laws criminalizing the
misuse of such tools replace the ownership or creation clauses of

“Do you think the green decreases the likelihood of a user achieving their goal? If so, can you elaborate?” (Insert your own specific goal there.)

You’ll most likely get an answer like “I don’t know. I just don’t like it.” It’s at this point that you better have a non-subjective reason for why you used that green. And give that reasoning in an objective manner. You don’t want to fight their subjectivity with your own.

But, on the off-chance that the answer is “Yes!”, ask forThe leglike pectoral fin for walking is the clue that this newly found fish is an anglerfish, even though it does not have a lure on its head for attracting prey. Its flat face and forward-looking eyes are just two of a host of reasons why University of Washington professor Ted Pietsch thinks the fish found in January probably represents a new family of vertebrate animals.

While diving in the harbor of a small island in Indonesia recently, husband and wife Buck and Fitrie Randolph, with dive guide Toby Fadirsyair, found a strange fish and took some pictures.

The oddball creature looks like an anglerfish, but different. Its eyes, unlike those of nearly all fish, point forward and may allow the fish to gauge depth the way humans do.
