for years. While unbeknownst to audiences who attended his performances last year, Cosby required neon yellow tape be stretched from the backstage area to his chair on stage so that he could see, according to his publicist, Andrew Wyatt.

"This didn't happen overnight," Wyatt told CNN on Thursday. Wyatt is regularly seen at court hearings by Cosby's side, guiding him by the bicep in and out of the courthouse, and helping him into his car.

His loss of sight has been a "major adjustment" in his life, according to Agrusa -- though it remains unclear when exactly he was first diagnosed with glaucoma or declared legally blind.

Medical experts say that glaucoma does "progressive damage" to the optic nerve, leading to blind spots in one's vision. Often by the time aperson first notices symptoms, the condition has advanced, according to Dr. Anastasios Costarides of the Emory Eye Center in Atlanta.

"Once you've lost vision from glaucoma, you can't bring it back," Costarides, who is not involved in the Cosby case, told CNN.

Some legal experts, however, say that it is unlikely Cosby's blindness will result in the dismissal of all charges. Laura Coates, CNN legal analyst and a former prosecutor, explained that even if Cosby is blind, he has "ample tools at his disposal to provide his lawyers with an alibi or other exculpatory evidence" to challenge the credibility of the 13 other accusers. A fair trial is not "contingent on eyesight," Coates said.

The judge gave no indication when he would issue a ruling on the defense motion to dismiss.

tell you nobody says that shit for other players, just Carrick and Evans, another fantastic performer this season.

In an arguement, the truth is generally somewhere in between both sides. And in Carrick’s case, those who slate him are much more in the wrong and his supporters are far closer to the truth. I also notice the majority of his haters have terrible arguements that look as though are written by a 13-year-old. And his supporters make actual sense an show a fairly acute understanding of the game most of the time.

I don’t know why I bother. He can’t win.

He’s a good passer = He only passes backwards
Here’s evidence that he doesn’t = Oh they’re easy passes
Most passes are easy = Oh it was shit opposition

And all of hishand side, the right back offers an inside ball to Valencia, who typically looks to go outside and supply a cross. If Hernandez is playing, the ball over the top is an option. If Welbeck plays, the long ball and second phase play is on.

Predictable, and easy to counter if you’re organised and disciplined. Blackburn did it for a good 80 minutes before they visibly tired and succumbed to a moment of genius from Valencia.

Better sides – typically those in Europe – require a little something else, something we don’t have the attackers to provide. Blaming Carrick is all well and good but the fact is, if he doesn’t have a compelling option to play the ball to, all he can do is provide the ball to one


its very well justified to say a player needs the right partner to play well. Sometimes another players style doesn’t blend well with another, or one player is in such bad form the two just cancel each other out. Carrick IS the type of player that needs the right person to play with him.

I think most people would have discounted your entire post after the first sentence. Possibly the most misinformed comment I’ve ever read on Rant. Congrats.

I think most people would have discounted your entire post after the first sentence. Possibly the most misinformed comment I’ve ever read onselling these days, and where are we going to get them (especially given the current constraints of Glazernomics?)? Or have you fired up Football Manager and are busy popping Xavi next to Schweinsteiger in United’s midfield as an impotent rage fuelled one man protest against Carrick?

I think it is perfectly acceptable to play 4 – 4 – 2 in the league (Sorry Cal but it is), because it is easy enough to dominate 12 to 15 out of 20 of the current Premier league sides by smothering them with possession, and having enough flair / attacking nouse up front to comfortably get the points we need to compete in the league. The remaining teams in England – the better sides – along with the top sides in Europe


sign how bad the league is. A team which is

1 Missing it’s captain
2 Playing a 21 year old in goals
3 Playing near half a dozen players who in the long are not good enough.
4.Bringing back a retired player and seeing him dominate.
5.Rooney on for his best goalscoring season yet has been average by his standards.

Squigs behave yourself!!!
how old was Cassillas when he won his first Champions League title? In ’98 we ran Arsenal very close without the use of Roy Keane for long periods. We miss Rio Ferdinand more than we will ever miss Vidic and many know it.

I do not agree that Scholes ‘dominates’ matches as much as you people keep on saying. I want to see Scholes play one match without Carrick alongside him and letRooney, I have a feeling he will be off this summer. His body language is all bad.

park and giggs arnt central midfielders , Is there name on this thread?

and the post after that just shows how ignorant you are .I suppose its topping the rich list 2012 means we should be lucky to win a game in Europe at all?

And saying you don’t think Carrick gave the ball away ‘as’ much as giggs just proves my point.
Why haven’t you answered my question about Carrick in that game ?where was he David?

Also take the games Porto , Benfica , fucking Lille home and away over 4 years .Someone tell me w where was he in these games? Alot of these 4-5-1
Why we get dominated in Midfield? What does he


only consistent centre back this year… we would have been in real trouble without him… of course it’s possible that he could turn to shit next year… but you can say that about any player…
And I honestly think Rooney had a brain cramp, along with some shit stirring advice from his agent… it obviously caught everyone by surprise, even Fergie was shocked… that’s why I don’t think it was something he gave a lot of thought about… and Rooney seemed genuinely shocked by the trouble it created… I don’t think he’ll do that again… and being as he’s a local lad, with a settled family… I can’t see him leaving.
Besides… he got what he wanted… a big fat pay rise.

“Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have nodon’t. His passing has never been an issue. has he made us a better unit? I do not think so. Will he be found out in bigger matches? Yes. Frankly, a lot hot air has been made of his matches this season.


suspect.

This is the smartest thing I've heard yet. Will the US start doing this and announce it? Probably not, why? Because of the Libtards in this world that need a bomb to drop in their lap before they finally figure it out.

For once I'd also like to see the Leaders of the Muslim Religous Groups or Arab Nations speak out against it's own people creating these attrocites rather than spewing their b.s. and whining about how they are being profiled. Now you are being profiled, live with it, do something about it, (as heard on the radio yesterday, if need be "eat your own").

LONDON, England -- Despite a high level of alert at British airports, a 12-year-old boy managed to board a plane at Gatwick without a passport,are reverse profiling by passing up inspection of suspicious arab looking men.

you said it yourself, these people are usually low-education, low-pay workers, they probably fear greatly being fired for profiling based on race/religion. And they would be too poor to hire a good lawyer and in no way be qualified to defend their stance on why they did what they did especially against ruthless ACLU type lawyers, which would surely align against someone who was accused of profiling.

whats the alternative, let them go on the plane, worst case scenerio the plane is hijacked and/or blown up. Chances are they won't get fired for something like that. There was not a single firing or resignation after 9-11 the single greatest intelligence failure in modern history, why would there be


out the constitution they had this sort of thing in mind.

Actually when our forefathers mapped out the constitution they were much more lax. Here in NY earlier last century the government was opening mail when it felt like. However much as your Fourth Ammendment rights do protect your home, they don't protect your "right" to use someone else's property without meeting their requirements for doing so. Being searched before you go on a plane, especially if it's by a private firm, does not in any way violate a single basic right. Not allowing that search, if the airline wanted to administer it, is a violation of someone's rights, their right to set the terms for the use of their service and their property as they see fit.

Wrong again.the rights/empowerment dicotomy, nor has it explained why, even if one accepts the idea of positive liberty, why the positive liberty of some trumps the negative liberty of others.

Not to mention, taken to it's logical conclusion positive liberty means you have a right to anything and everything you want. Afterall if you have the 'right' to eat eggs at a specific restaurant and they're out of stock when you show up, well then why not take them to court over it? Haven't they violated your positive rights? There are no definable parameters as to where positive liberty stops as it's based on subjective evaluations of "fair," "reasonable" and the like. Negative liberty is well defined, logically defensible, imposes no costs on anyone and does not extend to and


of freedom from discrimination(race, gender sexual orientation). Under this system, power justifies power. It's bad. LIke it or not the state is a mechanism for generating order. Less state intervention does not equal more freedom.

Here's a question, you seem to beleive that the state should not be allowed to practice discrimination. Why are private citizsens any different.

But I do completely understand your POV. I just think it's hella wrong. People far smarter than you or I have argued this stuff to death. We aren't going to find an answer here....

because those are all CHOICES. Because no one choses their skin colour they should not be penalized for it.
....

People choose their religion though.

Here's the thing. The constitution gives you the right to practice your religion and forbids anyone tosome major drama with us witnessing some things on the public transit and getting a very unprofessional bus driver (twice!), but we survived (another reason we're glad to leave the Twin Cities for break).

Many people find it weird that we like to go to Ikea out of all the places that we could go... but walking through the showrooms is like picking out your dream house. Right? Anyway, Jennifer ended up buying way more than she should and I bought some organizers and decorations for my dorm as well (you can see them in a photo further down).

CLEAR THE SMOG IN YOUR MIND

Vision matters! Sometimes, decreasing productivity is caused by a mind block. Would you drive faster if you cannot see the end of the road? Likewise, you can perform an activity more diligently when you can clearly see the end goal. Thus, pave your path before plunging in. Have a roadmap ready before beginning a project. You can even take a detour or two and it won’t make much of a difference because you know the end target.

To plan your way, you need to brainstorm in the beginning perhaps with people you are coworking with or alone, whichever way suits you best!

Discussion
==========

This paper presented a character-wise approach to Hebrew segmentation, relying on a combination of shallow surface features and windowed lexicon lookup features, encoded as categorical variables concatenating possible POS tags for each window. Although the approach does not correspond to a manually created finite state morphology or a parsing-based approach, it can be conjectured that the sequence of possible POS tag combinations at each character position in a sequence of words gives a similar type of information about possible transitions at each potential boundary.

The character-wise approach turned out to be comparatively robust, possibly thanks to the dense training data available, when compared to the smaller order of magnitude if data is interpreted with each

[Occult acoustic neurinoma].
A case of small occult schwannoma in a 73-year-old man is reported. Histopathological sections of the temporal bone revealed a tumor in the left internal auditory meatus. The tumor measured about 5 x 6 mm in size. There were whorls of spindle shaped cells with the typical palisading characteristic of acoustic neurinoma-Antoni A type. The posterior wall of the meatus had been eroded but the nerve fibers were intact. It seems to have raised from the cochlear nerve trunk and was displaced and compressed. Slight degeneration of the spiral ganglion cells and the cochlear nerve fibers was found. There was a very fine granular eosinophilic precipitate throughout the perilymphatic space. This probably represents increased protein content in the perilymph.

Aims of the present study
-------------------------

The aims of the present study were to investigate whether adults with ADHD exhibit the motor function problems demonstrated in children with ADHD and to investigate whether such motor problems were related to the presence of reported pain.

Our research questions and hypotheses were as follows:

1\. What are the differences in motor problems in adults with ADHD as compared to non-ADHD controls as measured by the MFNU?

2\. Do adults with ADHD report a) more widespread pain or b) higher levels of pain than non-ADHD controls?

We hypothesized that adults with ADHD would display consistently higher scores and show significantly more motor problems on all ofwith palms facing upwards.
  06\. Thumb movement                The tips of the fingers other than the thumb are successively touched with the palmar surface of the tip of the thumb. After each opposition, the subject extends and abducts the thumb. Both hands are tested for approximately 20 seconds.
  07\. Walking                       Walking with toes alternately pointing outwards ("Chaplin") and inwards followed by walking on the outer foot rend (Fog's test) and inner foot rend.

       'Synkinesis' is not a separate test but is an item for evaluating the synkinetic movements registered in one or more subtests. When synkinesis is observed, the tester tries to correct it. The synkinesis remaining after correction is scored.

All 16 subtests were scored by the tester or by an independent observer according to three scoring categories as described in Table [2](#T2){ref-type="table"}. The scoring criteria for each scoring category on each subtest are described in greater detail in the MFNU manual.

Subtests 1--10 are performance tests in which the person who is being tested is instructed to perform a particular task. 'Subtest 16: Synkinesis' evaluates the presence of overflow movements during the MFNU assessment. Four subtests (12--15) are subtests of passive movements of the hips and feet in which the tester evaluates muscular resistance. 'Subtest 11: Palpation' provides important physical/proprioceptive information about muscular consistency and possible high muscle tone in muscles such as the sacrospinalis and the latissimus dorsi and about restricted movements of the thorax \[[@B10]\].

Group differences on the MFNU
-----------------------------

The ADHD group showed a high percentage of 'severe problems' (a score of 2) on many of the subtests: 'Palpation', 'Passive abduction of the hip' and 'Passive movement of the feet', 'Lifting arm', 'Lifting leg', 'Diadochokinesis of the left arm', and 'Reciprocal coordination'. The control group typically had few problems on any of the subtests (Table [3](#T3){ref-type="table"}). There were significant differences between the ADHD groupsting of memories.

Academia is an unusual sideline for a hedge fund manager with a net worth in the hundreds of millions of dollars—and one whose name on Wall Street is synonymous with short-selling. Even aside from teaching, Chanos keeps a schedule best described as full throttle. When not running his short-selling focused firm, Kynikos Associates, which manages some $3 billion in assets, he can be found testifying before Congress. Chanos is a regular at political fundraisers. He makes the rounds on CNBC and Bloomberg TV, where his erudite analyses of overvalued companies, regulations, and macroeconomics make him a coveted guest. One recent theme: China's real estate bubble—a phenomenon that has led him to short such


rates, and currency swings were of less concern—if Einhorn worried about them at all.

Like a lot of value investors of the period he was bitten—and badly, too. An early holding was MDC Holdings, a large homebuilder based in Denver with major operations in fast-growing markets such as Colorado, northern Florida, Las Vegas, Tucson, Salt Lake City, and Southern California. Greenlight had begun purchasing MDC shares the second day after the fund opened at under $6 a share and had ridden them as housing prices first rose, and then soared—especially in the white-hot markets MDC operated in.

The company's fundamentals were bullish. Unlike many rivals, MDC had a relatively strong balance sheet, with a debt-to-equity ratio of just 45 percent in 2005. And its business model provided it with aSchwartz, by New York District Attorney Robert Morgenthau with grand larceny, conspiracy, securities fraud, and nine counts of falsifying business records. Most of the charges stuck: Kozlowski was systematically looting the company, to the tabloid papers' delight.

years. It’s very exciting to have a passionate owner with a lot of money, some great talent — untapped and unknown — combine them with a strong TV deal and former WWE names like Jim Ross and myself, and you’ve got a recipe for success.

DC: There is a lot of promising talent out there right now. Do any of them have what it takes to be the next Chris Jericho?

CJ: Don’t know, man. It’s hard to say. It took me 20 years to become Chris Jericho. It’s all up to the person. Some guys have the physical element. Some have the talking element. But there is so much more it than that, and the x-factor is the confidence in knowing — from a match side of things —many places you can go. If you want to hang out in your cabin the whole time, that’s fine, but there is so much to do. One reason that mine was such a success is that I made sure to check out every activity. If it was five minutes or 10 minutes or 20 or seeing the whole thing, I wanted people to see that. I wanted them to see me walking around and enjoying and knowing that I took a lot of time to pick these talents.

Connecting with the audience and fans is one of the main reasons that everyone enjoyed the first cruise. I put a lot of time into making sure people know that if I choose this, I’m going to have a great time.


EPIC asks FTC to probe Google's search biz tweak

The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), as expected, has now written to the US Federal Trade Commission requesting that the watchdog investigates Google's search business.

The move follows Mountain View's decision to merge personal data collected via its social network Google+ with the company's search engine, which so far has received a cool response from industry observers.

“Google’s business practices raise concerns related to both competition and the implementation of the Commission’s consent order,” EPIC said, in reference to a recent privacy settlement Google reached with the FTC.

In the missive (PDF), the privacy group claimed that: "Google's changes implicate concerns over whether the company prioritises its own content when returning search results."

EPIC added: "Incorporating results from Google+ into ordinary search results allowas I recall the book does not use the term space station. I don't know if this is the earliest use of the concept but it seems earlier than the other answers.

A:

Who would've guessed that Wikipedia has an article on that topic?
There, Venus Equilateral is mentioned:

Venus Equilateral Relay Station, from the 1940s Venus Equilateral series by George O. Smith, is a communications hub set in Venus' L4 point.

Indeed, the book search indicates that the term 'space station' was used there (the Google Books search links to the 1980s reprint)
Also, Google's Ngram search for space station shows 1940 as the earliest entry (depends on the corpus you search). Unfortunately, you can't access which work represents a specific data point. I actually like the mid-50s space station hype :)

While the crew were filming the scenes with Nick and Kylie Minogue in Brighton, Nick asked her if she’d like to come and sing their infamous duet. Kylie jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later walked out on stage and performed Where The Wild Roses Grow live with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds for the first time in 15 years. Check it out below!


nano to activate shuffle mode; this can be turned off.

3. Maze Versus iQuiz. The iPod classic still ships with iQuiz, Apple’s music and video trivia game, but the fourth-generation iPod nano replaces it with Maze, an accelerometer-based game that tracks the progress of a ball moving through on-screen mazes. You tilt the nano to move the ball through the maze to the finish point.

2. Audio Recording. The iPod nano 4G and iPod classic 120GB continue to include Voice Memos, a feature originally introduced in third-generation iPods back in 2003 and then carried on to every successive hard drive-based iPod, as well as the iPod nanos starting with the second generation. Now Voice Memos on both devices works with both Dock Connector recording accessories and headphone port-based microphones suchthe `9to1` task in the pipeline, which performs a background subtraction to the spectrum, using the outermost nine detectors of the array, to avoid any contamination. In addition, a correction for the part of the PSF which hits the outer eight detectors is applied. The task combines the advantages of providing the best S/N and high robustness. We discarded spectra (or subsets of them) for some sources due to low S/N, which are discussed in detail in Sect. \[subsection:SEDs\_and\_photometry\]. Due to overlap of the different orders of the spectra we had some redundancy and could still obtain a full SED of the respective wavelength range. We made use of the PACS photometry to adjust the fluxes of the PACS spectra in order to avoid jumps in the final


SED. The PACS spectra usually matched relatively well the available photometry (with maximum multiplication factors of 1.22, compared to 1.57 when using the sum of the nine detectors instead of the 9to1 task), indicating that the central source dominated the PACS spectral emission.

SPIRE photometry {#spire_photometry}
----------------

Similar to the PACS data, SPIRE provides three color channels for photometry, internally called “long” (500 m), “medium” (350 m), and “short” (250 m). The exact relative spectral response curve can be found in the instrument documentation.[^2] For SPIRE, we used observations in the “Small Map” mode. In the cases when archival data of SPIRE were available, we used those observations without further processing and directly obtained the aperture photometry from the respective target. Most of them originate from a survey that covers aavailable for IRS data (@2010PASP..122..231L, @2004PASP..116..975H). The observations usually were done with one single cycle, and ramp durations of 6 s, with a few exceptions where deeper exposures or more numerous cycles were used to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, not all targets could be observed with the low-resolution mode due to their brightness.

SEDs and lines
--------------

The different instruments provide different angular resolutions over their wavelength ranges. Thus, the spectra require calibration to remove jumps in the continuum levels of the SEDs. For each of the *Herschel* instruments we used the corresponding photometry to determine the absolute flux at the respective wavelength range. While leaving the photometry after applying all correction as is, we shifted the absolute value of the spectra to obtain a continuous SED, taking into account the


maps are only shown if there is a $3\sigma$ detection at the source coordinates, which is approximately what other groups used to avoid false detections (S/N  3-4, see @Yang_2018). For the respective pixels in the maps, we follow the nomenclature by *Herschel*, and call them spaxels. Due to the limited resolution of our spectra, we cannot eliminate the possibility of foreground emission. However, for most lines (CO, $^{13}$CO, \[C I\], \[C II\], OH, O I) we find the peak emission on the coordinates of our target, dropping with increasing (angular) distance. This suggests that foreground emission is unlikely. An exception is the emission of \[N II\], which is in general very diffuse, thus foreground emission is possible. In the following paragraphs we discuss the SED (Fig. \[SED\_multiplot\]-\[SED\_multiplot2\]) and imaging for each sourcethe southeast. We see a very strong emission of \[O I\] at 63 m and can detect \[O I\] at 145.5 m. Both lines peak at the target coordinates, but the emission seems to also be affected by diffuse emission. We find OH, \[N II\] which is slightly enhanced at the source coordinates, several water lines, and CO transitions from $J=5-4$ to $J=37-36$, with an upper limit for the $J=38-37$ transition. The SPIRE maps do not show a clear correlation with the RGB images. Some of the CO lines ($J=11-10$, $J=10-9$) show emission distributed over a few spaxels, which are not always linked together, while other lines (\[C I\] at 370 m, CO $J=7-6$, \[N II\]) have much smoother emission, which is also extended over the entire field of view and which might


indicate extended emission.

#### HH 381 IRS

Together with the *Spitzer* spectra and photometry between 1 and 3 m, HH 381 IRS shows the SED of an embedded young stellar object, similar to Class I with strong continuum emission between 5 and 100 m. Additional photometry (@2MASS, @MSX) from previous observations do not match the *Herschel* and *Spitzer* spectra closely, possibly due to significant variations in the mid- and far-infrared emission during the possible FUor outburst. This is further discussed in \[subsection:visible\_and\_missing\_features\]. The *Spitzer* data show weak silicate absorption at 10 [m]{}  (Fig.\[irs\_spitzer\]), much weaker than in other embedded FUors. Nevertheless, there is also a weak CO$_2$ absorption detected in the IRS spectra (Fig. \[irs\_co2\]). Other ices $<10$ m are possibly detected as well.

Figure \[Imaging3\_PACS\] shows HH 381 IRS asCO $J=7-6$ is extended over a large area, while CO $J=8-7$ is restricted mainly to the target coordinates and a small emission region in the southwest. That region matches the bump in the SPIRE RGB image in the southwest, where the OI emission at 145.5 m also shows a signal.

#### Parsamian 21

The available spectra of PACS and SPIRE are joined by photometry measurements [@IRAS88], which show the SED down to 10 m. Parsamian 21 is affected by moderate noise in its spectrum, which makes it difficult to confirm lines above the $3\sigma$ threshold. The SED shows that the object is embedded, similar to YSO Class I, with a strong continuum from 10 to 100 m. The *Spitzer* spectrum was shown by [@Kospal2008] and shows strong CO$_2$ absorption. Inversely


as this emission is not visible in the PACS data, it simply might be material of lower temperature. The H$_2$O emission in the PACS line maps shows an additional spaxel, which matches the outflow from the RGB images in the north.

#### PP 13 S

Together with external photometry (@Sandell1998, @Cohen1983, @1995ApJ...439..288O, @Sandell2001, @Tapia1997) and the *Spitzer* spectra, the *Herschel* data completes the SED, ranging from 1 m up to above 1 mm. The spectrum is characterized by strong continuum emission ($\approx 10^{-10}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$) between 30 and 200 m, indicative of strong envelope emission. The extinction is very high since the photometry drops significantly below 2 [m]{}. Figure \[irs\_spitzer\] shows very deep silicate absorption in the Si-O stretching feature at 10 m and in the O-Si-O bending at18 [m]{}. In addition, CO$_2$ ice absorption is detected, and interestingly a CO$_2$ **gas** line is detected at 15.0 m (Fig. \[irs\_co2\]). This is the only target showing such gas absorption feature in our sample. At shorter wavelengths ($5-9$ [m]{}), the other ice features are detected as well, though NH$_3$ ice appears weaker than in other targets.

PP 13S in Fig. \[Imaging4\_PACS\] shows slight diffuse emission around the target in PACS data. However, we see some filamentary structures in the SPIRE data in the north of the target. There is also a stronger emission in the neighborhood around the target in the SPIRE data. We find emission lines in the spectra, namely the two OI lines at 63 and 145.5 m, water, OH, \[C I\] and \[C II\], and CO from


Fig. \[lbol\]), the \[O I\] emission of HH381 appears to be among the more luminous objects in our sample, still below V346 Nor and about one order of magnitude above PP 13 S. For HH 381 IRS, the controversy between the rising bolometric luminosity and the absence of strong accretion tracers is very interesting as it shows that the bolometric luminosity is not dominated by accretion luminosity, but instead is dominated by photospheric luminosity of the central source. The mass accretion and accretion luminosity may quickly drop after the onset of the burst because of the exhausted mass reservoir in the innermost disk, but the star bloats in response to the accreted energy which leads to a dramatic increase in the photospheric luminosity. As a result the total luminositymay keep rising. Similar situations in the evolution of bursting stars were shown recently in [@2019MNRAS.484..146E]. As we did for the evolved objects, we will investigate the characteristics of the young objects in the future with ProDiMo since for the moment there is no correlation visible.

Correlation between lines
-------------------------

In the following, we discuss the correlation between lines that have been found either in our data or by other groups, in which case we check their consistency within our sample of YSOs. In Fig. \[lbol\] we show the luminosity of the \[O I\] emission at 63 m as a function of the bolometric luminosity of our targets in a log-log plot. Table \[OILum\] shows the 63 m \[O I\] luminosity of our targets. Haro 5a IRS is missing here. For Parsamian 21,


of the data with $f(x)=0.65 \cdot x-3.6$ and $\chi^2 = 7.8$. We show two additional lines which partially fit the data (in red) with $f(x)=0.94 \cdot x-3.7$, $L_{bol}<17 L_{\sun}$, and $\chi^2 = 3.5$, and (in blue) with $f(x)=0.13 \cdot x-2.6$, $L_{bol}>17 L_{\sun}$, and $\chi^2 = 3.2$. We also show the best fit of [@Green2013] with $f(x)=0.70 \cdot x-3.7$ (in green). The data points that are indicated as upper limits ($3\sigma$) and EX Lup are not used to create the fits.

In the twisted logic that is often commonplace globally with fight fans, being associated with organized crime or committing criminal acts is not often taken very seriously. It’s often looked at secondarily. Who cares if the money I’m paying to watch fights is going to a group associated with terrorist acts? As long as the drug that is fighting is provided, that’s all the fans care about. So, what is the real crime that gets fight fans so angry and riled up? Corruption itself doesn’t strike enough of an emotional reaction. It’s the double-standard of being corrupt and inefficient with providing the major fights and big shows that

Floating point operations is slower when small values are used?

I have the following simple program that multiplies two different floating point numbers many times. As you can see, one of the numbers is very small. When I calculate the time of executing both multiplications, I was surprised that the little number takes much longer than the other one. It seems that working with small doubles is slower...

The JNK pathway therefore regulates production of this key pro-inflammatory cytokine. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) promote cartilage and bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis, and generalized tissue destruction in other autoimmune diseases. Inducible expression of MMPs, including MMP-3 and MMP-9, type II and IV collagenases, are regulated via activation of the JNK pathway and AP-1 (Gum R., Wang H., Lengyel E., Juarez J., and Boyd D). Oncogene 14:1481–1493, 1997). In human rheumatoid synoviocytes activated with TNFα, IL-1, or Fas ligand the JNK pathway is activated (Han Z., Boyle D. L., Aupperle K. R., Bennett B., Manning A.

JNK2 in mice resulted in a selective defect in the ability of Th1 effector cells to express IFNg. This suggests that JNYK1 and JNK2 do not have redundant functions in T cells and that they play different roles in the control of cell growth, differentiation and death. The JNK pathway therefore, is an important point for regulation of T cell responses to antigen.
Cardiovascular disease (“CVD”) accounts for nearly one quarter of total annual deaths worldwide. Vascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and restenosis result from dysregulated growth of the vessel wall, restricting blood flow to vital organs. The JNK pathway is activated by atherogenic stimuli and regulates local cytokine and growth factor production in vascular cells (Yang D D, Conze D, Whitmarsh A J, et al, Immunity, 9:575, 1998).This invention relates to improvements in shower curtains, liners, and similar closures, and more particularly to the inclusion of elements in or onto a curtain or liner to prevent the curling in of the side edge of the curtain.
It is found that after some use, many shower curtains or their interior linings tend to curl inward at their side edge and stick to itself. The sticking together of the curtain material is usually caused by a water film initially and later by a combination of water and/or soap film. The curling then causes shortening of the shower curtain, or liner, and tends to happen at the lower part of the side edge. When this occurs, a gap opens up between the curtain and the wall allowing water to


Not in the Same Mental Drawer: Internalized Sexual Stigma, Dissociation, and the Role of Religion in a Sample of Italian Gay Men.
Several studies have highlighted the relationship between internalized sexual stigma (ISS) and dissociation. The aim of the present study was to empirically investigate this relationship through a quantitative study. The Measure of Internalized Sexual Stigma for Lesbians and Gay Men (MISS-LG) and the Dissociation Scale (DIS) of the Trauma Symptom Inventory (TSI) were administered to 120 Caucasian participants who self-identified as gay men. Findings suggested that dissociative symptomatology, as measured by DIS-an estimation of the use of dissociation as a defense mechanism-was positively associated with MISS general index and all dimensions of MISS, especially the sexuality dimension (ISS-S). Moreover, the effect of the ISS-S on DIS wasat 689.

General council of world trade organization exerts the function of this body. Strictly speaking, dispute settlement body is a quasi -judicial organization, because all the decisions put forward by general council of world trade organization should pass appeal body eventually.

with CHB, who were referred to the Tehran Blood Transfusion Hepatitis Clinic (Tehran, Iran) from 2011-2013. Informed consent was obtained from all patients whom participated in this study. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization. The study protocol conforms to the ethical guidelines of the 1975 declaration of Helsinki. The criteria for diagnosis of CHB were the presence of HBsAg in the patient's serum for more than six months, HBeAg positivity or serum HBV DNA \> 20,000 IU/mL, persistent or intermittent elevation in ALT/aspartate transaminase (AST) levels, and/or liver biopsy showing chronic hepatitis with moderate to severe necroinflammation ([@A21444R9]).

Individuals with positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis D virus, and hepatitis C virus were excluded from the study. Also, patients with(grade) ≤ 4 were considered as cutoff values to show mild liver damage ([@A21444R12]).

The liver histological assessment was not obligatory for stratification of liver disease in patients with high HBV DNA level (\> 20,000 IU/mL) and/or ALT of more than two folds of upper normal limit since the diagnosis of CHB was definite in these patients ([@A21444R9]). Comparison between categorical variables was performed using Fisher's exact test and comparison between continuous variables was performed using t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. The correlation between HBV DNA and HBsAg levels were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test. P values of less than 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS software version 20. Also, statistical graphs were generated using GraphPad Prism version 6.

Both hardware and software techniques have been developed to handle speculative exceptions. One hardware technique, described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,421,022, determines that there has been an exception condition caused by a speculative instruction, but withholds the signaling of an exception to the computer system until it is determined that the speculative instruction is in fact executed.
Software techniques typically do not have the capability to defer exceptions as done in hardware. However, one software method, described in U.S. patent application Ser.

But he wasn’t done there. When the shootout rolled around, Raymond reached into his bag of tricks and pulled out the good ol’ spinorama (a move he had successfully pulled off before). Coach Paul MacLean complained the move was illegal (and at first glance he has a bit of a point), but when you see the reply it appears the puck is in continuous motion towards the net, so the goal rightly stood up. On a side note, just remember that last year Tyler Bozak was the ONLY Leaf to score in the shootout all season long, so Raymond’s career 8-for-27 in the shootout is more than a welcome addition.

Here’s Raymond’s shootout goal from seven months ago as a member of the Canucks:

Carlyle has coached quite well thus far, from the decision to pull Reimer Saturday night (though an obvious one it still had to be done), to putting the right people in the shootouts (Raymond and Bozak both scored),

to giving the right players appropriate ice-time. Now, I realize a lot of former Leafs players have a bone to pick with Carlyle about ice-time (Grabovski, MacArthur etc.) but what I am saying is that thus far the right players have been on the ice at the right times (I hope this continues to be the case).

James van Riemsdyk is playing some of the best hockey of his career and he is being rewarded with over 20 minutes of ice-time per game.A common lipid links Mfn-mediated mitochondrial fusion and SNARE-regulated exocytosis.
Fusion of vesicles into target membranes during many types of regulated exocytosis requires both SNARE-complex proteins and fusogenic lipids, such as phosphatidic acid. Mitochondrial fusion is less well understood but distinct, as it is mediated instead by the protein Mitofusin (Mfn). Here, we identify an ancestral member of the phospholipase D (PLD) superfamily of lipid-modifying enzymes that is required for mitochondrial fusion. Mitochondrial PLD (MitoPLD) targets to the external face of mitochondria and promotes trans-mitochondrial membrane adherence in a Mfn-dependent manner by hydrolysing cardiolipin to generate phosphatidic acid. These findings reveal that although mitochondrial fusion and regulated exocytic fusion are mediated by distinct sets of protein machinery, the underlying processes are unexpectedly linked by the generation of a common


vectors ${\mathbb{D}}^3$ instead of ${\check{\mathbb{U}}}$. A curve $I \to {\mathbb{D}}^3$ corresponds to a [*framed curve*]{}, which describes a $1$-parameter family of Euclidean motions of ${\mathbb{R}}^3$; various geometric aspects of framed curves have recently been studied by e.g. Honda-Takahashi [@HT]. Since the dual Frenet formula is available for regular framed curves, we may rebuild the theory by using dual quaternions. That would be useful for singularity analysis in several topics of applied mathematics such as 3D-interpolation via ruled/developable surfaces, 1-parameter motions of axes in robotics, and so on (cf. [@PW; @Selig]).

Developable surfaces
--------------------

For a non-cylindrical ruled surface, it is developable (the Gaussian curvature zero) if and only if $\kappa_1= 0$ identically (see §2). Thus two real functions $\tau_0, \tau_1$ are complete invariants of developables. Izumiya-Takeuchi [@IT] classified generic singularities ofIshikawa [@Ishikawa]: ${\mathcal{A}}$-type of the tangent developable of a [*non-singular*]{} space curve $\sigma$ with non-zero curvature is determined by the vanishing order of its torsion function. This is the case that $\sigma$ is of type $(1,2,2+r)$, and then the torsion of $\sigma$ has the same order of $\tau_0$ (Lemma \[striction\_curve2\]). Note that in our theorem above, $\sigma(s)$ can be singular and non-zero curvature condition is replaced by the non-cylindrical condition.

Table \[table2\] is separated into three parts. One is the case of $\tau_1(s_0)\not=0$; they are the tangent developables of non-singular curves of type $(1,2,2+r)$, which are [*frontal singularities*]{} as mentioned in Remark \[mond\_tangent\]. The second is the case of $\tau_0(s_0)\not=0$; they are the tangent developables of singular curves of type $(2,3,4)$, $(3,4,5)$ and $(4,5,6)$, which are [*wavefronts*]{} – the


at $(0, t_0)$ if and only if $\kappa_1(0)=t_0=0$ ($t_0=0$ means that the point is just the striction point $\sigma(0)$ lying on the ruling). Assume that $F$ is singular at the origin. Then we obtain a [*canonical Taylor expansion*]{} of $F$: $$\begin{aligned}
\label{eq1}
&&F(s,t)=
\textstyle
\left(t-\frac{1}{2}ts^2+\frac{\tau_1}{2} s^3,\
ts-\frac{\tau_1}{2}s^2-\frac{2\tau_0\kappa_1'+\tau_1'}{6}s^3,\
\frac{\kappa_1'}{2}s^2+\frac{\tau_0}{2}t s^2+\frac{\kappa_1''-2\tau_0\tau_1}{6}s^3\right)+o(3).
$$

\[truncation\] Let $F(s,t)$ be as in (\[eq1\]), and set $\bar{F}(s, t)=(\bar{\bv}_0(s) \times \bar{\bv}_1(s)) + t \bar{\bv}_0(s)$ to be a polynomial map of order $k$ with $j^k\bar{F}(0)=j^kF(0)$. Denote by $\bar{s}$ the arc-length of the curve $\bar{\bv}_0(s)$, then $\bar{s}:=s+o(k)$, and thus $k$-jets at $0$ of the dual curvature and the dual torsion do not change from those of $F$. That gives examples of polynomial ruled surfaces with prescribed $k$-jets of $\check{\kappa}$ and $\check{\tau}$ at a point.

\kappa_1' \neq 0.$$ Let $\kappa_1'=0$. Then the $2$-jet is equivalent to either of $(x, xy,0)$ or $(x, y^2,0)$, according to whether $\tau_1= 0$ or not. We compute the second and third component of $f$ as $$\begin{aligned}

Conventional liquid crystal displays are often made up of a number of color or monochrome pixels filled with liquid crystal molecules and arranged in front of a light source (such as a backlight) or a light reflector. Each addressable pixel of the display includes a liquid crystal element arranged proximate to two electrodes. By setting a voltage between the two electrodes, the strength of an electric field between the electrodes is changed. The strength of this electric field causes molecules within a liquid crystal element to assume a specific orientation relative to the electric field (i.e., either parallel or perpendicular to the electric field, or at some angle in between). When combined with suitably oriented polarizers, a liquid crystal element effectively acts as a shutter, allowing a certaininclude yellow candy melts, green oil based candy color, marshmallows and sucker sticks.

Crawford,Biodiesel derived glycerol hydrogenolysis to 1,2-propanediol on Cu/MgO catalysts.
Hydrogenolysis of biodiesel derived glycerol to 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) has attracted much attention in recent years. In this work, glycerol hydrogenolysis to 1,2-PDO was performed over CuO/MgO catalysts prepared by impregnation and coprecipitation at 180 degrees C and 3.0 MPa H(2). It was found that the Cu(15)/MgO catalyst prepared by coprecipitation had the best activity. The conversion of glycerol and the selectivity of 1,2-PDO over Cu(15)/MgO reached 72.0% and 97.6%, respectively. And the conversion of glycerol was further increased to 82.0% when small amount of NaOH was added in the reaction mixture. Those highly active catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, N(2)-adsorption and temperature-programmed reduction with H(2). Characterization results revealed that the activity of the prepared catalysts depended


For a brief period of time, Ford had a direct competitor with the Chevrolet’s Suburban, the almighty family-hauling machine. It was called the Excursion, and it was one big mother of an SUV.

Nearly 19 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 7 feet tall, it was the largest SUV Ford had ever produced. It weighed 7,688 pounds with the Power Stroke diesel engine, and gained popularity quickly amidst the relatively low fuel prices of the day.

Sadly, the Excursion ceased production in 2006, and earned the ire of many journalists who considered it a blight upon the automotive landscape. But that hasn’t stopped one Excursion from bringing big, bold, and standout SUVs back into style. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you… the Sixcursion.

Background of the Build

The Sixcursion was built andall of the necessary decals. All of that work, too, was done in-house at McNeil Racing.

The front comes equipped with all sorts of off-road goodies to make it capable if and when it actually does go off-road. Chief among these is a Warn VR12-S winch, which can support up to 12,000 pounds, making it ideal for the heavier-than-ordinary Sixcursion. It’s encased inside a custom-made Mercenary bumper. Lighting is comprised of multiple light bars and pod lights, all provided by Baja Designs.

The roof, meanwhile, might be a spot on other builds that goes unnoticed. For the Sixcursion, however, it was a site of inspiration. First and foremost is the roof rack. Mike said, “The roof rack is probably what stands out the most to me about the build. We


Q:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Boolean, using Table.addRow() with Jackcess

I am trying to write some values in a MS Access database using Jackcess. My values are originally represented using String. The code I am using is the following:
int nColumns = 0;

// get table from internal representation
ModelDatabaseTable table = this.DB.getTable(tableName);

// create new table
TableBuilder DBTableBuilder = new TableBuilder(tableName);

// get table's columns and their Jackcess datatype
Map<String, DataType> columns = table.getColumns();

// for each column, insert it in the actual database
for (String columnName : columns.keySet()) {
    DataType dt = columns.get(columnName);
    ColumnBuilder cb = new ColumnBuilder(columnName).setType(dt);
    if (dt.isVariableLength()) {
        cb.setMaxLength();
    }
    DBTableBuilder.addColumn(cb);

In his controversial new film, Stone tells the intensely personal stories of environmentalists and energy experts who have undergone a radical conversion from being fiercely anti to strongly pro-nuclear energy, risking their careers and reputations in the process. Stone exposes this controversy within the environmental movement head-on with stories of defection by heavy weights including Stewart Brand, Richard Rhodes, Gwyneth Cravens, Mark Lynas and Michael Shellenberger. Undaunted and fearlessly independent, PANDORA’S PROMISE is a landmark work that is forever changing the conversation about the myths and science behind this deeply emotional and polarizing issue.

Checking the source of CustomPaint it says
  /// The size that this [CustomPaint] should aim for, given the layout
  /// constraints, if there isanother design.
Take advantage of the fact that table keys and values can be any type.
Let's say npc is a table containing all NPC's. Its keys are NPC' names and its values are another table. This other table keys are the actions, and its values are the function for this actions.
So, if you want bob to jump when clicked on, and alice to cry after a timer, simply do :
npc.bob.click = function () jump() end
npc.alice.timer = function () cry() end

A:

I've done something like this before and I used something similar to your #2 option.  When the map loads I load a configuration Lua file containing all the NPC data; among that is the name of the script file used for the NPC.
When I need to load the NPC


products are mixed with nutrients that also increase the number of existing microorganisms.
In general, bacteria-based products are lower in cost than fungal-based products or enhancers. Both the bacterial products and fungal products are designed to increase nutrient uptake, promote faster root development, and reduce heat, drought and cold stress. These products also stimulate other beneficial soil microorganisms to thrive. Thus, these commercial products increase overall crop health, even those crops grown in soil-less media or in soil that has become exhausted and overworked. However, soil based amendments applied through inoculation methods may not be reliable.update your Vapor gaming machine at home, or at a qualified PC service center.

Here we found the color control button for the front lighting strips. Users can choose between a number of colors, or even choose to turn the lights off.

The back of the system looks like a traditional PC with connectors for several devices.

The motherboard connectors allow users to connect Wi-Fi antennas, and up to six additional USB devices (two USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0). You also get additional audio connectors, just in case the video card's HDMI audio isn't ideal for your home theater.

Remember how things got parabolic last January due to euphoria and then crashed from the volatility shorts having to sell winners to cover all their bad bets? Not saying that specifically will reoccur but it pays to be nimble when there seems to be a bit of fear of missing out type of buying as well as the market trying to go ahead a price in a trade deal.

Charting wise, the market just made a "V" and those previous support levels here in the mid 2600s are now resistance points. The market tends to be relative so while we were severely oversold in December, we are now techinically overbought. Said more simply, I tend to subscribe to


it "reacts" more strongly as it "reads and smooths" more recent sales unit data moving left to right. Lastly, the triple exponential smoothing line is the most rigid as it "reads and smooths" the sales unit data in terms of 1) moving average, 2) trend (aka week to week movement relative to qty), and 3) seasonality (aka week to week movement relative to time). Which line should we subscribe to for projecting future sales? I think it depends on how much forecast error we can live with.

I see Shiller's CAPE (aka Cyclically Adjusted PE or PE10) and Hussman's profit-margin adjusted cape similarly. Neither lie yet their honesty is relative. Shiller's CAPE uses a simple 10 year moving average of earnings adjusted for inflation whereas Hussman subscribes to thethought that evaluation over the long term should be based on long term cash flows and short term margin volatility based on the business cycle should be smoothed. There is nothing wrong with either long term evaluation method. To me, it's just a matter of how into the weeds one wants to get.

Much more succinctly, when I have a glass of wine over dinner with the gf, we each enjoy it in a very different way. I enjoy it simplistically for it's intoxicant value and beverage supplement to the meal whereas she may go deep into the wine's slightly pink rim variation, aromas of pistachio, hay, and tea, and taste of honeysuckle, slate, and slightly oaky finish. Neither lie, the honesty is relative, and the complexity is there


and some error there but counteract that by understanding where we are in the business cycle. For my personality type and relative to just broadly understanding market evaluations, anything beyond my three points of contact becomes analysis paralysis.

I save the deeper analytics for the more short run tactical decisions. Just like valuations, there are near endless indicators, oscillators, averages, etc. to slice and dice price, volume, volatility, momentum, etc. Below are the ones I know or created, excluding the greeks mostly associated with options for "simplistic" purposes. There's a little something for everyone in here. I use around 6 of them on a regular basis for more tactical decisions that then conveniently enough, align to my previously noted and established broader view. Similarly and below the statistics examsquares. After lunch in the square we cycle to Godawari. This afternoon’s ride is over mixed terrain, sometimes we cycle on tarmac roads and sometimes on dirt tracks with some off road sections. We cycle through the village of Lubhu, known for its handmade cloth, from where we continue heading west on a jeep track passing paddy fields at the foot of the Phulchowki Hill, which is the highest hill in the valley (2770m). Finally we meet the main road to Godawari and the last 3km takes us on an easy climb to our hotel. (The bus will not be with us this afternoon and those not wanting to cycle off road can go on the bus to Godawari, from where there is the option to visit the


We drive 20kms east out of Pokhara to Begnas Lake, where we set off on foot towards Kalikistan. The path winds up above the lake and climbs through mixed forest and through small traditional Nepali villages. We walk for about 3.5 hours to Kalikistan (9km), where we will meet up with the bikes. From here we descend 22km back into Pokhara. We follow the road through Pokhara old town and back to the hotel.
The rest of the day is free to explore the lakeside - there are shops selling handicrafts as well as restaurants and cafï¿½s dotted along the lakeside or you may want to take a taxi to the Gurkha Museum or even hire a boat to go rowing on the lake.

Weather & seasonality

Nepal has four distinct seasons and the weather conditions vary from season to season and from region to region. Springis from March to May when it is hot and dusty with rain showers. Summer is from June to August, when it is monsoon. Autumn is from September to November and is cooler with clear skies, and winter is from December to February when it can be cold at night, even in the Terai.

This trip is run in spring, autumn and winter when the temperatures and riding conditions can vary considerably. (Please note that in the lowlands at the very hot times of year we might not be able to cycle so much as it is very hot and humid).

Autumn (September to November) - this is an ideal time to visit Nepal with warm sunny days and cooler nights. The Kathmandu Valley should be warm and sunny in

See Iran by rail

The Iranian government recently reported a 200% rise in the number of tourist arrivals from Europe. And, as diplomatic relations with the West continue to thaw, the options for those wanting to explore the country keep growing.

One of the latest additions is a luxury train journey from Budapest to Tehran, passing through Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey along the way. Tickets for the first ‘Jewels of Persia’ tour, which took place in October, sold out within three weeks – and now a further eight tours are planned for 2015, four of them running in the opposite direction.
