Gc subtypes in Icelanders.
Isoelectric focusing was used to determine the frequencies of Gc subtypes in Icelanders. The gene frequencies observed were Gc1F = 0.107, Gc1S = 0.631 and Gc2 = 0.262. An Icelandic Gc variant allele (Gc Iceland) is shown to have a different isoelectric point from the variant allele Gc-Norway. Gc-Iceland has been detected in 3 unrelated individuals giving the allelic frequency of 0.004 in the Icelandic population. Studies of 65 mother-child pairs confirm the assumed three-allelic mode of inheritance.


I’m still on vacation, so here’s another classified thread. Post ads, personals, and any interesting success stories from the last thread.

…and I’ll start. SSC is part of a wider movement of philosophy enthusiasts, transhumanists, effective altruists, etc which has somehow ended up with the simultaneously boring and arrogant moniker of “the rationalist community”. We’ve developed a small intellectual/social scene in the SF Bay Area, with a few hundred interesting people who hang out together and cooperate on various projects. Since rent in the Bay is so high, a lot of the rationalists there are living in group houses, which have become nuclei for social events and cooperation.

Four of these have ended out clustered on Ward Street in Berkeley, and we’re thinking we might as well try to accelerateThree men are charged with kidnapping a 14-year-old girl and holding her hostage for several days while they repeatedly raped her and forced her to do drugs.

Superior Court Judge Raymond Clary set bond at $250,000 each for Curtis Burgett, 55, William Jackson, 42, and Harold Sherman, 59, on Thursday afternoon.

They stand accused of keeping the teenage girl in their respective apartments, often around piles of garbage and dirty clothes, where they injected her with meth and other drugs and repeatedly raped her. The complex, the Wolfe Apartments at 240 W. Sprague Ave., sits directly across the street from the downtown police precinct.

The complex made national news in 2003 for harboring sex offenders and wards of the state.

Q:

Mysql Shell dump Script not working

Hey i have a problem in my shell script that i can't handle and that's why i need your help.
So this is my Script:
MYSQL_DUMP=/usr/bin/mysqldump
BACKUP_DIR=/backup/mysql
TAR=/bin/tar
RM=/bin/rm
DB_NAME=Homepage
DB_USER=root
DB_PASS=liron3211
AKT_DATUM=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`

$MYSQL_DUMP $DB_NAME -u $DB_USER --password=$DB_PASS > \
$BACKUP_DIR/$AKT_DATUM.backup.sql

cd $BACKUP_DIR
$TAR -cvzf $AKT_DATUM.backup.sql.tgz $AKT_DATUM.backup.sql

$RM $AKT_DATUM.backup.sql

So i want that the Script creates a sql file of my Database "Homepage" and to put it in the folder /backup/mysql and how can i transfer it from my root Server to another ftp Server?
EDIT: This is my Error:

Northwest Area of operation. The Command's purpose was to engage in destroying Japanese strongholds in the Pacific. Later moving to RAAF Base Darwin, the Group was placed under Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) command, assigned to the Australian Northwest Area Command operating out of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, and was the only B-24 Liberator unit attached to the RAAF. The 380th was assigned to train RAAF personnel on the B-24 and to secure Australia's safety against a threatened Japanese invasion along its northern coast. Upon its arrival in Australia, the 380th BG immediately began combat operations. This was thus the only heavy bomber unit available to cover the whole of the Dutch East Indies (1,000,000 square miles) from July 1943 until late in 1944 at that time theGuinea. Of these, 53 served further in The Philippines.

The 380th made the longest bombing missions of WWII, to the oil refineries at Balikpapan, Borneo (200 miles further than the Ploesti mission in Europe) and to those at Surabaja, Java (as long as Ploesti). Both of these missions were accomplished several times during their stay in Australia.

In addition to attacks on the Japanese oil supply, the 380th was heavily engaged in crippling their shipping fleet to reduce the Japanese capability of supplying their far-flung forces. Numerous Japanese airfields were also heavily bombed in the East Indies to reduce the Japanese threat to Australia and New Guinea forces.

As part of its duties in Australia, the 380th carried out the operational training of 52 Australian crews and their associated ground staffs

This bugged the hell out of me, until I found out it is really very simple: Just use all the expected return values as parameters to the first returns() statement.
 expect(list.getItemAt(0)).returns("Item1", "Item2", "Item3", "Item4").inSequence(seq);

The mock will return the last of these parameters for each subsequent call.

DEMO

A:

I know this has been answered, but here is an improvement on @kei's answer.  Instead of filtering all DOM elements using $('*'), first narrow it down to only elements with id starting with a "Q".  Another modification as suggested by @talemyn is to add a $ to the end of the regex in order to ensure that there are no characters following the digits.
$(function () {
    var result = $('[id^=Q]').filter(function () {
        return this.id.match(/Q\d+$/); //regex for the pattern "Q followed by a number"
    }).length;

    $('input[name=result]').val(result);
});

caveat: [id^=Q] includes IDs that start with 'Q' so id="Question" will also be included.

The error comes because you're changing category codes before TeX processes certain files that don't expect those category codes:
\catcode`^=\active
\newcommand^[1]{\ensuremath{\sp{\scriptscriptstyle #1}}}

\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}

This means that xcolor.sty is processed with the new catcode for ^ (not something it is prepared for), which can lead to undesirable results. Similar problems with having this redefinition before \usepackage{xunicode}.
Move these \catcode-changing lines to after all external files have been loaded. Say, just before or after \begin{document}. Then the error goes away.

Professor Holck found clear marks of five or six different cuts from an ax, knife and sword: one on each of the thigh bones, two or three on the left and one on the right calf bone.

It is likely that the Gokstad man did not survive these injuries, something proved by the fact that there are no signs that his wounds have healed.

Although none of the injuries have been fatal (perhaps with the exception of a cut on the inside of the right thigh bone, which may have damaged the femoral artery), it cannot be excluded that thisHeiberg back in 1883, and the man’s identity has since been widely accepted.

In the first section of the Heimskringla King’s Sagas written down in 1225 by Snorri Sturloson, Olaf «Geirstad-Alf» Gudrødsson is mentioned with a couple of lines: Olaf was a petty king in Vestfold, and the half brother of Halfdan the Black (c. 810 – c. 869 AD).

Olaf was allegedly Halfdan’s nineteen years older brother, and thus probably born around the year 800.

Since the ship’s grave can be dated back to the year 901, about half a century after Olaf Geirstad-Alf’s death, researchers can safely say that this is not Olaf’s grave.

the importance and impact of having a morning ritual. It sites several people who are considered highly successful that always started their day with a morning ritual.

What impact did this book have on my personal growth and development?

I was not even finished the book and I had already started adjusting my morning routine. At the point of reading this book I was already waking up an hour before I had to go in for my first personal training client which is an 8 minute drive away so it gave me plenty of time. My routine at this point was meditation for 15 minutes and showering. I don’t have to worry about breakfast because I do intermittent fasting.

After dabbling with different forms of exercise, timing of different aspects ofthe routine, and trying different things, I wake up 90 minutes before my 1st client and my morning routine now looks like this:

Meditation 10-20 minutes Yoga 15 minutes Journal 5 minutes Read 10-15 minutes

In short, I can tell you that I have never felt better since starting my days like this.

Who would I recommend this book to?

Anyone who wants to feel better from the moment they wake and set their day up for aliveness and fulfillment.

The Enlightened Gardener Revisited

By Sydney Banks

168 Pages

This is the first book I read by Sydney Banks. It is likely you have never heard of him. He is the one to discover the Three Principles understanding in the world of psychology and spirituality.

What is this book about?

A fictional story about a pair of psychologists


created, and if you tend to create problems chronically you are most likely attempting to fill the empty space that is not being filled by meaning and purpose. This book to me to a deeper understanding of meaning and purpose in my life and inspired me to contemplate the purpose of my own life.

With my wife having Leukemia, I have had some pretty terrible lows in recent years, as you can imagine. I can be thankful she is still here, we both are. I have also had some pretty terrific highs. Man’s Search For Meaning is proof that no matter how bad you think your life is, you always have the opportunity to create meaning and purpose in your life. This story inspired me to start giving backevolution of the universe from $z = \infty$ to some $\stackrel{\ast}{z} > 0$, which depends on $\alpha$.

The solution for $\beta =  \alpha < 1$
---------------------------------------

In what follows, in order to avoid any confusion we will use $\beta$ to denote $\alpha < 1$. With this notation the cosmic scale factor is given by $$\label{a2}
a_{2}(t) = A_{2}(1/2C_{2})^{1/(1 - \beta)}\left[1 + C_{2}^2t^{2(1 - \beta)/\beta} \right]^{1/(1 - \beta)}.$$ We observe that the constants here are different from those in (\[a1\]). In particular they have different units. Namely, $$\label{units}
C_{1} \sim L^{(\alpha - 1)/\alpha}, \;\;\;A_{1} \sim L^{- 1/\alpha},\;\;\; C_{2} \sim L^{-(1 - \beta)/\beta},\;\;\;  A_{2} \sim L^{- 1/\beta}.$$ For $t = 0$, $a_{2}(t) = A_{2}(1/2C_{2})^{1/(1 - \beta)}$. So, if we choose the constants in such a way that $A_{1}(2C_{1})^{1/(\alpha - 1)} = A_{2}(1/2C_{2})^{1/(1


contradiction.

The “physical mechanism" for the choice of the four-dimensional subspace is provided by the continuity of the $5D$ metric across $\Sigma: y = f(t)$, which yields (\[boundary conditions for moving Sigma\]). Thus, the same mechanism that leads to the choice $f = f_{0} = constant$, is the mechanism that allows $f \neq constant$. Usually, the embedding $f = f_{0} = constant$ is the only one considered in the literature. Therefore, the motivation of this paper has been to study the feasibility and consequences of the second possibility $f \neq constant$ given by (\[explicit dependence on the extra dim\]).

The effective energy-momentum tensor in four-dimensions is defined through the Einstein field equations in $4D$, namely $$\label{effective matter}
^{(4)}G_{\mu\nu} = 8 \pi G T^{(eff)}_{\mu\nu},$$ which is indicated in the Introduction as pointand the beginning of the era described by $a_{2}$. In the third stage, which is described by $a_{2}$, the universe can be considered as a mixture of dust and a variable cosmological “constant". In this epoch the universe is dominated by the vacuum energy, which is responsible for the observed present acceleration.

It is important to note that similar results are obtained from very different approaches. For example, the effective equation of state of the universe, for the total pressure and density. Our result (\[equation of state for the universe\]), is quintessence-like namely, $w \approx - 0.7$, for $\Omega_{m} \approx 0.3$, which coincides with the one obtained from other models [@Efstathiou]-[@Steinhard].

Also, if we use that $\Omega_{m} + \Omega_{\Lambda} = 1$, then our formulae for the deceleration parameter (\[general formula


Hospital routines may be making patients sicker

Interrupted sleep and withholding of food can make hospitalized patients sicker, according to three U.S. physicians who say patient safety in hospitals is not just a matter of preventing falls and infections.

In a Viewpoint paper in the journal BMJ Quality and Safety, they point out that adequate sleep and nutrition are key to keeping the immune system strong, but noisy hospital conditions and long wait times may be compromising the body's defenses.

The authors, all from Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, say poor nutrition, present in up to half of all hospital patients - can contribute to inflammation, muscle breakdown and organ damage.

Sleep and nutrition have always been an issue in hospitals, but longer wait times make the problem worse, said coauthor Dr.larger batteries that deliver current to the capacitor at a higher rate. This has the disadvantage of requiring a larger overall implant package, or at least limits the amount of miniaturization that would otherwise be desired for patient comfort. Another approach to reduce charge time intervals has been to employ more sophisticated battery technology that provides higher current rates for a given size. However, this suffers from higher cost, and also limited miniaturization. Alternative approaches have employed networks of batteries having different characteristics that allow more rapid charging while not significantly limiting battery life. However, these approaches contribute to device complexity and cost.

Situated 25 km north of Haridwar at an elevation of 356 m above sea level, Rishikesh is an ideal destination for adventure lovers, Hindu devotees and yoga enthusiasts. Situated at banks of river Ganges, Rishikesh attracts thousands of tourists every year. The name Rishikesh is loosely applied to an association of five distinct sections encompassing not only the town but also Kevin de Geus. These include Rishikesh itself, the commercial and communication hub; the sprawling suburb Muni-ki-Reti or the "sands of the sages"; Shivananda Nagar the home of Sivananda Ashram and the Divine Life Society founded by Swami Sivananda, north of Rishikesh; the temple section of Lakshman Jhula, a little further north; and the assorted Ashrams around Swarg Ashram on the east bank. One can reach the famousit a very amicable place to be in the holy land. The beauty is accentuated by the divine vibrations that come from the enchanting sound of river Ganga, which flows alongside the resort. Having its focus on genialness and services, the resort emphasizes on hospitality, providing its guests the best in class accommodation in Rishikesh, throughout their stay.The variety of services is even more elaborated by considering the multifarious packages that the resort has brought forward for its guests. These packages will captivate you and will leave an everlasting memory of the trip in your minds. Honeymoon packages, river rafting packages, and holiday packages are just a few of the packages that resort offers.

The limit of detection was 0.02 ng CP per sample for the wipe and filter methods and 0.03 ng CP per sample for the solid sorbent method. Wipe sampling on surfaces made of different materials resulted in mean recoveries between 78-106%. The desorption recovery was between 97-102% for the wipe samples, 97% for the sorbent samples and 101% for the filter samples. Samples were stable for up to 2 months at 5 degrees C and -20 degrees C and for about 2 d at room temperature. The developed methods were applied to the measurement of contamination with CP in a hospital pharmacy. Trace amounts of CP, 1.3 and 1.4 ng, were detected on surfaces in the pharmacy.used the bike desks relative to normal class hours. The CG had a significantly higher BMI at T1 relative to T0 while this was not significantly different for the IG. Aerobic fitness was significantly better in the IG at T1 relative to T0. No significant effects on academic performance cognitive performance and brain functioning were observed. As the implementation of bike desks in the classroom did not interfere with adolescents' academic performance, this can be seen as an effective means of reducing in-class sedentary time and improving adolescents' physical health.

Q:

how to access to many webpages in casperjs

I'm a beginner in casperjs, I'm tryin to automatically access to a website and scrape some information, I start the url and then store  some links in a table called "links" and then I try to click on the first element(links[0]) in that table and finally test if the link that has the id("ctl0_CONTENU_PAGE_resultSearch_PagerTop_ctl2")exists.
the problem is, i can't get any output, i guess it's because the program can't access to the link(links[0]) in the first place, that's why it can't find the id i'm looking for.
this is the code I wrote.
 var url=''; //first link
 var casper = require('casper').create();
 var links;
 var lien;// second link
 function getLinks() {
 var links = document.querySelectorAll('td a');

Q:

jQuery each only recognizing first element that was clicked

My problem is fairly basic (at least, for you guys), but I can't seem to get it work.
So I have products and an add to cart button. I need it so that whenever I add a product already in the cart, it will not add it in a new line, but rather, just increase the count.
Somehow, it only recognizes the first product that was clicked. Here is my fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/78wUa/
var initial = 0;
jQuery('.add-to-cart').live('click', function() {
    jQuery('.no-prods').fadeOut();
    jQuery('.subtotal').fadeIn();

    var dataOwner = jQuery(this).parent().closest('div').attr('data-owner');
    var dataClass = jQuery(this).parent().closest('div').attr('data-owner');
    dataClass = '.' + dataClass;

    var count = '' + 1 +'';

    var price = jQuery(this).parent().closest('div').attr('data-price');
    price = 'jQuery' + price + '';

    if(initial == 0) {
        var p_name = jQuery('.span9 ' + dataClass + ' h3').clone();
        var p_name_and_quantity = jQuery(p_name).after(' ' + count + ' x ' + price);
        jQuery('.my-cart').append(p_name_and_quantity);
        initial = 1;
        //get_subtotal();
    } else {
        get_products(dataClass, count, price);

});

floating between the telescopic housing unit and the telescopic shaft unit to provide a complete separation of the extendible housing and drive shaft sections or units. Other extendible cutting devices have been suggested and are discussed in the above prior art.
The extendible nature of the apparatus requires special consideration be given to the coupling of the sections to provide a long reliable and operative life. In addition, providing a proper transmission of the torque from the power source at the lower end of the extendible tree trimming apparatus to the remotely located cutting apparatus is also significant in order to provide an effective tree trimming apparatus. The transmission of the torque from an electric or gas motor to the cutting apparatus must, for example, include an efficient powerof a copper chelate of Schiff base, viz., copper (II)-N-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde)-alaninate (CuPHMBA) and the underlying mechanism of cell death induced by CuPHMBA in vitro. CuPHMBA kills both the drug-resistant and sensitive cell types irrespective of their drug resistance phenotype. The cell death induced by CuPHMBA follows apoptotic pathway and moreover, the cell death is associated with intrinsic mitochondrial and extrinsic receptor-mediated pathways. Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the process as proved by the fact that antioxidant enzyme; polyethylene glycol conjugated-catalase completely blocked CuPHMBA-induced ROS generation and abrogated cell death. To summarize, the present work provides a compelling rationale for the future clinical use of CuPHMBA, a redox active copper chelate in the treatment of cancer patients, irrespective of their drug-resistance status.

only that, but they’ll throw in a good word, too. A warm social introduction is one of the strongest ways to start a connection.

Be a source of positivity

We all bitch about work sometimes. Too often, we are consumed by that negative energy and it becomes all we talk about. Unfortunately, nobody wants to be around someone who’s gloomy and always brings down the mood.

Even if the girl you like tries to complain with you, don’t jump on it. While it may seem like a good idea since it gets you both talking, it will hurt you in the long run. You’ll become just another co-worker that she can vent to. She’s not going to feel romance when you’re rehashing how much you hate your job.

Elevate yourself over theproblem, maybe another time.” You can try again a few days later but if she’s not making an effort, she’s probably not interested.

Finally, if and when you do get her out, treat it like any other date.

Handle with care afterwards

The most important part about all this is handling what happens after.

If you start dating, it’s only a matter of time before your co-workers know. Keep it professional. Respect her privacy and don’t dish out the gritty details to your friends. Also, too much flirting makes some people uncomfortable and reflects poorly on your career attitude.

If she rejects your advances on the date, simply let her know you misread the situation. Be mature about it and stay amicable at your job. She won’t make it a big deal if

The lessor objects to the amount of the allowance and contends additionally that it was error to apply the balance of the deposit to satisfaction of the claim for use and occupancy, arguing that it is entitled to keep this deposit under the lease.  S & W also claimed damages for breach of the lease of $39,000-- the entire amount of the future rent due-- less reasonable rental for the balance of the term as might be determined, but withdrew this claim at the final hearing.  No error is asserted concerning itsgame is inevitably going to be telling of stories. As DM, you will be responsible for narrating events, describing locations and characters, providing action-packed descriptions of fight scenes, and more.
Showing a picture is fine, when a specific situation calls for it-- I often sketch out diagrams for my players, and make analogies to things they've seen in real life. But I do those things to support my storytelling, not to replace it. Immersion will primarily come from things that you, yourself, provide to the table. I do not recommend preparing a slideshow for players to sit through in one go-- that's the opposite of engaging.
A relatively small photo, even of something dramatic (like the Grand Canyon or an erupting volcano) will only go so far to inspire your


players' imaginations and help them get into the game. They'll glance at a picture for a moment, but can't interact with it at all.
So if you'd like to use pictures, what I'll recommend instead is that you get your photos but use them alongside your notes to help you remember what features you want to describe, and how. Look at the photo and describe what you see, and you get the best of everything! Similarly, jotting down notes about memorable features of locations, NPCs, and situations can help keep details fresh in your mind when you need them.

The filtering resulted in 136 and 112 unique localities for the 10 and 25 km rarefying resolutions, respectively.

Presence-only data are inherently biased due to uneven sampling over the species landscape \[[@pone.0185974.ref065]\]. In order to infer meaningful information from such data we need to correct for the sampling bias. We account for sampling bias by providing MaxEnt with a bias grid of the sampling probability surface roughly representing the sampling efforts and giving weights to random background data used for modeling. Ideally a bias file would represent the actual sampling intensity across

The walnut germplasm collection examined exhibited considerable polymorphism with observed number of alleles ranging from 8 for WGA089, WGA237, and WGA384 to 20 for WGA 202 with an overall mean of 12 alleles/locus ([Table 1](#pone.0185974.t001){ref-type="table"}). The observed and expected levels of heterozygosity showed significant deficiency of heterozygotes for all loci as compared to Hardy-Weinberg expectations. The observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.326 for WGA349 to 0.651 for WGA178, with an overall mean of 0.501 and the fixation index, which indicates non-random assortment of alleles due to significant population sub-structuring, ranged from 0.136 for WGA178 to 0.610 for WGA349, with an overall mean of 0.285. Deficiency of heterozygotes is sometimes attributed to presence of null alleles, but their effects on population differentiation is not fully understood. Theconventional methods for detecting null alleles are less reliable and inconsistent when applied to non-equilibrium populations, and provide only a sub-optimal solution \[[@pone.0185974.ref072]\].

Image copyright AFP/Getty Images Image caption Dinh La Thang is a former chairman of PetroVietnam

A top Vietnamese official has been sacked for "violations" while running national oil and gas firm PetroVietnam, in a rare public censure by the ruling Communist Party.

The government said on Sunday that Dinh La Thang, 57, was no longer part of the top decision-making Politburo.

Mr Thang's alleged misconduct was first leaked on social media last year.

His sacking comes amid a wider crackdown on PetroVietnam, the country's largest enterprise.

It is extremely uncommon for a Politburo member to lose their place in the one-party state. Since Vietnam started economic reforms in 1986, only two other Politburo members have been dismissed.

'Serious violations'

Mr Thang is said to have committed the violations between 2009 and 2011 while he wasfor the desired value because we don't have exact value of $y'$. It would be great if someone could help. Thanks.

A:

First we replace $\sin a$ with $\sqrt{1-\cos^2a}$:
$$x' = x \cos a - y \sqrt{1-\cos^2 a}$$
Then we eliminate the square root by isolating it and squaring:
$$y \sqrt{1-\cos^2 a} = x \cos a - x'$$
$$y^2 (1-\cos^2 a) = (x \cos a - x')^2 = x^2 \cos^2 a - 2 x x' \cos a + (x')^2$$
This can now be rewritten as a quadric in $\cos a$:
$$0 = (x^2+y^2) \cos^2 a - 2xx' \cos a + ((x')^2-y^2)$$
$$\cos^2 a - 2\frac{xx'}{x^2+y^2} \cos a + \frac{(x')^2-y^2}{x^2+y^2} = 0$$
It can be solve using the "$p$-$q$-formula":
$$
\cos a = \frac{xx'}{x^2+y^2} \pm \sqrt{\left(\frac{xx'}{x^2+y^2}\right)^2 - \frac{(x')^2-y^2}{x^2+y^2}} \\
= \frac{xx' \pm \sqrt{(x^2+y^2)y^2-(x')^2y^2}}{x^2+y^2}
$$

qRT-PCR assay
-------------

Total RNAs were extracted from HCC tissues and corresponding adjacent normal tissues and cells using TRIzol (Thermo Fisher Scientific). MiRNAs were isolated using miRNeasy Mini Kits (Shanghai Hao Ran Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) reversely transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA) using TaqMan® MicroRNA Reverse Transcription kits (Biosystems, Forster City, CA, USA). To quantify mRNAs, reverse transcription was performed using Prime Script™ RT reagent kits (Takara, Shiga, Japan). qPCR was carried out using the Taq-Man® Universal PCR Master Mix II (Biosystems), qPCR primers were as follows: LINC00665-F, 5′-AGCACCCCTAGTGTCAGT CA-3′, LINC00665-R, 5′-TGGTCTCTAGGGAGGCAGAA-3′; GAPDH-F, 5′-AGAAGGCTGGGGCTCATTTG-3′, GAPDH-R, 5′-AGGGGCCATCCACAGTCTTC-3′; MAP4K3-F, 5′-GGAGC CGGGTGATTGTGA -3′, MAP4K3-R, 5′-AGAAGGGAGGTG GCAAAAAT-3′; U6-F, 5′-CTCGCTTCGGCAGCACA-3′, U6-R, 5′-AACGCTTCACGAATTTGCGT-3′; miR-186-5p-F, 5′-CGGCJin Wei Zhi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

The luciferase activity was examined using the Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega).

RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pulldown assays
-----------------------------------------------

RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) was performed using a Magna RIP RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer\'s instructions with slight modifications. Briefly, the cells were harvested and incubated with magnetic beads and anti-Ago2 antibody (Abcam) or IgG (Abcam). The beads were washed and incubated with proteinase K to digest the protein at 24 h after incubation. The RNA was purified by the phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol reagent (Sigma)

Moreover, the percentage of apoptotic cells was significantly increased among HepG2 and Huh-7 cells transfected with siLINC00665, compared with the scramble group ([Fig. 2C](#F2){ref-type="fig"}). In addition, we found that LINC00665 knockdown significantly increased the ratio of LC3-II/I and expression of Beclin-1 ([Fig. 2E](#F2){ref-type="fig"}). Compared with control, the percentage of GFP-LC3 positive cells were significantly increased in the siLINC00665 group ([Fig. 2D](#F2){ref-type="fig"}).

LINC00665 interacts with miR-186-5p
-----------------------------------

To investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of LINC 00665, we predicted that LINC00665 had binding sites with miR-186-5p using starBase v2.0 ([Fig. 3A](#F3){ref-type="fig"}). Moreover, luciferase reporter assay confirmed the relationship between LINC00665 and miR-186-5p. The results showed that miR-186-5p mimic transfection significantly decreased the luciferase activity of the LINC00665-wt group, while there was no significant impactLINC00665 binding sites of miR-186-5p were established. (B) The luciferase activity was measured in Huh-7 cells co-transfected with LINC00665-wt or LINC00665-mut luciferase reporter and miR-186-5p mimic or miR-NC. (C) The RIP assay was performed, and expression of LINC00665 was detected in samples bound to the Ago2 antibody or IgG in Huh-7 cells. (D) Detection of LINC00665 expression levels using qRT-PCR in samples pulled down by biotinylated miR-186-5p or negative control.

(Amendment to Bankruptcy Code is clear on its face in prohibiting application of amendments to pending cases); In re Nordeen A. Groth, 69 B.R. 90 (Bankr.D.Minn.1987) (Final intent of Congress appears on face of legislation it passes; court cannot authorize conversion on any grounds.)
Refiling in Chapter 12
The remaining issue is whether dismissal of the Chapter 11 petition, pending on November 26, 1986, the effective date Section 302(c)(1) of Public Law 99-554, bars subsequent filing of a petition under Chapter 12.
Certain cases discuss this in dicta. In re Mason, 70 B.R. 753 (Bankr.W.D.N.Y.1987), allowing a debtor to convert his Chapter 11 case to Chapter 12, stated at pages 756:
Still, there is another, more practical reason for permitting the conversion of pre-Act cases to Chapter 12. If, as here, afarmer is unable to propose an acceptable plan of reorganization under Chapter 11, his bankruptcy case will languish. Eventually, his creditors will seek a dismissal of the case so that they may pursue their State remedies. To permit a case to stagnate hopelessly in Chapter 11 would constitute an abuse of process. Accordingly, the Bankruptcy Court would be compelled to grant an involuntary dismissal. Upon the granting of an involuntary dismissal, however, the debtor would be free to refile in Chapter 12. (emphasis added)
The Mason court continued at Footnote 2, page 756, 757:
If a case is involuntarily dismissed, other than for failure to appear or contempt of court, a debtor may refile. 11 U.S.C. § 109(f)(1). Likewise, a debtor may refile if his case is voluntarily dismissed provided


proceedings in or relating to any such case, shall be conducted and determined under such Act as if [the New Code] had not been enacted, and the substantive rights of parties in connection with any such bankruptcy case, matter, or proceeding shall continue to be governed by the law applicable to such case, matter, or proceeding as if the [New Code] had not been enacted." 92 Stat. 2683, note preceding 11 U.S.C. § 101 (1976 Ed., Supp. IV). Central Trust, supra, 454 U.S. at 355-356, 102 S.Ct. at 696.
The Supreme Court held it was incorrect to permit the debtor to move for dismissal solely to refile under the New Code and thus, avoid the prohibition of Section 403(a). Cases under the old Bankruptcy Act had to continue to

It appears that political elites are projecting their views of Sanders onto the Democratic electorate, despite all the data showing most Democrats like him and wouldn’t have a problem seeing him as president. Another consistent poll finding: While most Democrats expect Biden to eventually win the nomination, the person consistently in second place — and the only one polling in double digits on this question — is Sanders.

In a new national poll from Emerson, Sanders is just three points out of first place behind Biden, 30% to 27%. In the RealClearPolitics average, Sanders’ national numbers are the highest they’ve been since April. Only he and Mike Bloomberg have seen their polling steadily rise over the last two months.

And so the question remains: Why is

Every month the company paraded through the streets of Boston in scarlet plumes, led by the company drummer beating the colors, before crowding first into the meetinghouse for prayers and a sermon from the Reverend John Wilson and then into the adjacent tavern for a good dinner. Only then did they march off to Boston Common to engage in their core purpose, described by their charter as "the advancement of the military art and exercise of arms."

William, who was single and in his twenties, lived a little way out of town. On November 26, 1639, the clerk at Charlestown noted that "Mr. William Rainsborough pays for the old meeting-house thatmuch to fit a ship for one or two months as for then. This is our opinion."

The king's attempts to prosecute the war with Scotland unaided ended in humiliation that August when a Scottish army led by Alexander Leslie crossed the Tweed into England, routed the English forces at the Battle of Newburn, and occupied Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Durham. Charles's plans for converging seaborne assaults on Scotland were forgotten; he couldn't even muster an army powerful enough to eject the Scots from England, let alone invade Scotland. He was forced to sue for peace. The Scottish response was to keep possession of Newcastle as security against an English change of mind and to demand that the king pay £850 a day toward the Scottish army's maintenance while it remained

Still it was months before Martha learned that Thomas wasn't coming home. His estate, valued at £1,266. 9s. 7d., was divided between her and their son, with provision being made for mother-in-law Katherine Coytmore. Martha was left a wealthy woman: she had effective control over their fine house and garden, the 500 acres of land granted to Thomas at Woburn, a further 215 acres scattered around Charlestown, and half shares in two mills. She had her“He is from the town where Cranes hunt for fish in inundated paddy fields. Like that he keeps searching for fresh fish.

D-beta-M has long been recognized as an important target for the modulation of sympathetic nervous system activity for therapeutic purposes due to its central role in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter, NE. For example, the vital role of the sympathetic nervous system and its neurotransmitter NE in the development and maintenance of hypertension and congestive heart failure have been extensively studied.

“One could write off Pence’s surprise at the RFRA-inspired boycott of his state as the natural result of a person who lives in a right-wing bubble. After all, even though he must have known about Indiana’s struggles, North Carolina governor Pat McCrory seemed similarly shocked by the national outcry over the infamous anti-trans ‘bathroom bill’ he signed into law earlier this year. A religious conservative like Pence, even one who worked in D.C. for better than a decade, could easily have been trapped in a bubble of epistemic closure.”

It seems a place to start. Gary Legum’s analysis of why Indiana Gov. Mike Pence would be a poor pick to run alongside Donald Trump certainly had its merits, though in truth we can speculate with reasonable confidence thatA burglar stole a $50,000 handheld camera and a $15,000 lens from an office inside the Ed Sullivan Theater, home to David Letterman’s “Late Show,” The Post has learned.

A manager for Letterman’s production company, Worldwide Pants, discovered the burglary early yesterday when he arrived for work at a sixth-floor office at 1619 Broadway at West 53rd Street, where the comedian tapes the late-night talk show.

The manager noticed a video- and audio-equipment-room door was ajar and a Sony camera and Canon lens were missing. There was no sign of forced entry, sources said.


the scandal started by the disseminated bulge in a politician’s underwear. Once upon a time, just seeing a man’s rear on television might cause a scandal; now you don’t have to go too far out of your way to encounter his front. Our cultural standards have relaxed just enough to show a man in full.

And why not? Women have long been asked to take off their clothes, out of both artistic necessity and rank gratuitousness. Isn’t it men’s turn? Even when the nudity veers into homophobia (and boy, can it), there is an “at last” quality to all of this bareness: It’s so matter-of-fact, so casual. (We’re not, to be clear, talking about erections; there’s still a line between a flaccid, out-of-focus penis attached to what’s probably awhite woman from a half-black, half-white lieutenant governor’s attempt to force her into marriage. That’s just the plot; Griffith’s genius was at its most flagrant in the feverish surrounding details. The country isn’t even done being rebuilt in “The Birth of a Nation,” and here comes the K.K.K., already determined to make America great again. The movie crackles with sensationalist moral profanity. Many of the black characters, for starters, are played by white actors, all having a grand time making randy savages out of their roles.

This was American cinema’s first feature-length masterpiece. A full century later, it has lost none of its hypnotic toxicity. Even now, to see this movie is to consider cheering for the Klan, to surmise that every black man is a lusty darkie unworthy


racial retribution, which the flashback shows us. The son crawls naked through snow toward Warren’s midsection and puts his head in front of the major’s genitals. Then the score goes horror-film crazy and cuts back to Jackson, who gives the narration all the Zeusian jive that you pay Jackson to summon. With the old Confederate officer shuddering in disbelief, Warren boasts that this shivering white boy sucked his “warm. Black. Dingus!”

In the world of this film, Tarantino is playing with the truth. He’s playing with math (I at least found more than eight hateful people). But most important, he’s playing with fire. His movie runs along the third rail of race in America: that black dingus. Who knows if Warren made this story up. Courtesy of Tarantino, heknows that nothing turns a white man red faster than a black penis. The story’s probable falseness only makes it more devastating, because falseness is what the story messes with: the fear of black male sexuality; how it’s chasing your white wives, mothers and daughters; that the black penis can be a vengeful weapon. Opening up the threat to sons laughs at the ludicrousness of it all. That dingus is coming for everybody.

This flamboyance is partly how Tarantino’s films have come to understand black people — as mighty movie types rather than as human beings. “The Hateful Eight” made its defiant appearance during the centennial of “The Birth of a Nation,” and the movies share the same post-Civil War era. Watching Jackson stand over that bobbing white head,


or fetishization? The difference between fetishization and romance is that only romance really cares what its object wants. Mapplethorpe and Tarantino both have complicated relationships with that difference.

To spend time with Mapplethorpe’s work now is to find in it a kind of distorted love — what that German guy came all the way to America to discover. Mapplethorpe found most bodies beautiful and otherworldly, but especially black ones. He lit dark skin so it looked like wet paint and arranged subjects until they became furniture or evoked slave auctions. That naïve, dehumanizing wonder complicates what, at the time, was the radical, defiant feat of inscribing black men — black gay men — into portraiture. It strikes a peculiarly foundational American note: This was another white man looking atof the kind of sexual black imagery that was so freighted a few decades ago. The internet contains bottomless warrens of black men starring in their own pornos. There are pictorials of old celebrities and viral images of current celebrities’ wardrobe mishaps. The pride in some of these websites counteracts the fetishizing that sends some people hunting for “B.B.D.” and the self-reducing that leads other people to offer it up. Mainstream American culture is still ambivalent about what to do with black men’s sexuality, but you can find unequivocal comfort on shows like “House of Cards,” “Broad City” and “Jessica Jones,” in which white women are convincingly, inoffensively attracted to black men who aren’t the shows’ stars but are permitted to be sexual.

But needing to be permitted is


And that bartender who slept with Jessica Jones happens to be Luke Cage (Mike Colter), who now has his own show, a so-so Blaxploitation-minded superhero drama that presents Colter as the sexiest man on television (or any streaming service). The record-industry soap opera “Empire” doesn’t even seem to know there ever was a white gaze; it’s the least self-consciously black show I’ve ever seen. The only people the power family at the show’s core won’t sleep with are one another, but we’re only two and a half seasons in. Give them time.

There is still something missing from our picture of black male sexuality, though, regardless of who’s looking: romance. We know black men can grind, but rarely do we see them love — as though we’d have toupend too many stereotypes, shed too much pathology, making it impossible to get there.

There’s a magnificent new movie called “Moonlight” that knows how hard that is. It’s the story of a young Miami man named Chiron (it’s pronounced “Shy-RONE”), who is portrayed, over about 20 years, by three different actors. His mother’s a junkie. A drug dealer becomes a father figure. Chiron flees bullies who suspect — as he does himself — that he might be gay. (“What’s a faggot?” he has to ask, at one point.) Barry Jenkins wrote and directed the movie and fights it past the clichés in Chiron’s biography, which are clichés only in the movies. For one thing, “Moonlight” is surpassingly gorgeous. The depth-of-field camera work and luscious soundtrack give the movie atmosphere.


wrong with black men’s sexuality — only the ways it has been distorted, demonized and denied. Blackmon had his codpiece for protection. Jenkins is certain that Chiron needs something even stronger: affection.

When I was 9 or 10, I spent the summer at a camp at my school. One day, after swimming, I was showering, zoned out but dialed in. I snapped out of it when I heard two older boys talking. “Yo, he’s looking at your dick!” “What going on, man? What are you doing?” They were talking to me. One of them was lean, very fit, a shade darker than I am and, incredibly enough, named David. His eyes were small but bright. And I had been looking at his penis.

I didn’t know what to say, soIn order to play off the fear of his adversaries, batarangs that explode on impact to release a nonlethal dose of fear toxin should be used. That, in combination with the full body suit, would cause Batman's foes to see a bat-creature before them, rather than a man in a costume.

Nolan talked Fear in BB, but it never really seemed to factor into his Batman past that film. I'd like to see it explored further in regards to Batman's fighting style.

January 1999 to May 2001 was used to identify DFC 3 soldiers. The data were analyzed to determine frequency of DFC 3 by rank, DFC after CTIC visits, distribution of treatment type needed to establish dental readiness, and to identify soldiers whose DFC 3 conditions were not treated. Additionally, for the 6 months between November 2000 and April 2001, all soldiers who remained a DFC 3 when released to their units were followed to assess how long it took for them to attain a DFC 1 or 2 status. The retrospective review of the CTIC records identified 5,851 DFC 3 soldiers who in-processed to Fort Hood from January 1999 to May 2001. CTIC successfully converted 86.9% (N = 5,083) of the soldiers to DFC 1 or 2. Ofa sample of 185 DFC 3 soldiers released to their units as a DFC 3, only 54% had converted to DFC 1 or 2, with 60.5 days being the mean days to convert. Trainees have large demands for dental care with minimal time to seek treatment during Initial Entry Training. A CTIC, or hybrid, can provide the necessary emergent dental care to remove soldiers from DFC 3 prior to their being assigned to their first permanent duty station.

which complicates the treatment of the coupled QD-WL system, is the existence of many scattering channels which are often partly neglected (for a discussion of the scattering channels in the framework of carrier kinetics see Ref. [@Nielsen:04]). This can strongly influence the results as we will show in Section \[sec:resCoul\].

### Self-consistent single-particle energy renormalizations {#self-consistent-single-particle-energy-renormalizations .unnumbered}

The renormalization of the single-particle energies, which enter in the dephasing rates, originates from the same interaction processes that determine the dephasing itself. Technically, they can be traced back to the same many-body self-energy. The renormalized energies can be obtained from the poles of the retarded Green’s function (GF) in Fourier space. In the absence of interaction, the retarded GF is given by $$\label{eq:freeGret}
G^\text{0,ret}_{a,\alpha}(\hbar\omega)=\frac{1}{\hbar\omega-e^a_\alpha+i\delta}$$ with the single-particle energy $e^a_\alpha$ and $\delta\rightarrow 0,\delta>0$. At elevatedthe WL states and for the same reason off-diagonal contributions are stronger for the p-shell than for the s-shell.

Note that the foregoing discussion applies to the non-Markovian treatment. If one neglects the off-diagonal dephasing and uses the Markov approximation, again the dephasing is grossly overestimated when all relevant scattering processes are included. For the discussed QD model, transitions due to localized states are completely damped out in this approximation.

The influence of the exchange term in the dephasing rates, which is often disregarded, is also investigated in Fig. \[fig:coul\_DD\]. Neglecting the exchange scattering in the dephasing contributions clearly overestimates the homogeneous linewidth by about 30 %, thus pointing out that the exchange terms are almost as important as the direct term and should be included in the calculation.

A WiFi client is usually connected to an AccessPoint for WPA-protected network access. When the AccessPoint becomes unreachable for example as the client moved, the client needs to switch over to an other AccessPoint providing the same extended service set (ESSID). This is called roaming.

Roaming involves the following steps:

Scanning for an other reachable AccessPoint (Probe)

Disconnect from the old AP

Changing the WiFi-channel

Authentication and Association

WPA-EAP-Handshake (only for 802.1X)

4-way WPA handshake

Connection is ready again

These steps need time and the client is disconnected until he completed them, but there are some options available to speed things up:

PSK-Authentification does not need the EAP Handshake, but adds one (backbone) round trip time (RTT) during the authentification handshake if fetched from RADIUS.

802.11i pre-Authentication enables a client to perform the EAP-Handshakethe new AccessPoint are involved.

The AccessPoint a client first connects to becomes R0KH for this session, as it stores the key R0. Whenever a WiFi client roams, it will provide the new AccessPoint the R0KH-ID of this first AccessPoint. The new access point (in the role of R1KH) now fetches the key from the first AccessPoint (R0KH). R0KH will provide to R1KH the derived key R1, which might be specific to this AccessPoint (due to R1KH-ID being involved).

hostapd can distribute the R1 in three ways:

With push mode, R0KH derives R1 for all other AccessPoints (R1KH) it knows about and sends it there, so whenever a WiFi client connects, all AccessPoints will learn the relevant keys and roaming can happend instantly.

With pull mode, R1KH sends a request packet to


R0KH, which then generates R1 and sends it back to R1KH.

With PSK, hostapd can generate R1 locally as it already knows the MSK (derived from passphrase). The passphrase needs to be present, as the client could as well start its session locally. So no inter-AP communication is required.

In order for hostapd to dervive the FT keys locally when using PSK, the following settings is required:# hostapd.conf
psk_generate_local=1

Pushing can be enabled using# hostapd.conf
pmk_r1_push=1

Packets exchanged between R0KH and R1KH for key distribution are addressed using ethernet mac addresses and protected using cryptography (AES). So in order to send a pull request to R0KH, hostapd needs to be able to look up the mac address and key when given R0KH-ID. Similarly, for push or reply, R0KH needs to be able to lookQ:

a permit to possess marijuana under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR), says cannabis will be a welcome addition in his kitchen at the restaurant once prepared edibles are legalized. “It’s something very special to me,” said MacNeil. “It’s a brand new ingredient and that’s what a chef always looks for, something special to use. They’re always searching around the globe and we have some really great ingredients right here in Alberta.”

Years ago, MacNeil was approached by a group of Haskayne MBA students for a class project that evolved into Re-Treat, a premium cannabis edibles company. The business has been selling its cookie and brownie mixes online and plans are in place to start selling the product in dispensaries. “We have a rosemary sea saltwill be among the first to adopt its use.

“We’ve got John in house so obviously I think we’d like to be on the front end of it,” said Bankowski. “It’s being done in other parts of the world, through Colorado and through Washington, and they have cannabis-based dinners and you can pair it with certain foods and wines and make a whole thing out of it.”

“I think as a nation we’re embracing it and Calgary’s a perfect spot to get this thing rolling.”

MacNeil says he hopes the legalization of edibles will help remove the negative stigma that surrounds cannabis use and believes education will assist newcomers in understanding the differences between strains and to ensure diners consume a reasonable quantity.

Expression and function of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in human melanocytes.
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) belong to the superfamily of nuclear receptors that heterodimerize with the retinoic X receptor. Agonists of PPAR have been known to play an important role in cellular responses including proliferation and differentiation. The expression and function of PPARs have not been investigated in human melanocytes, although they have been widely demonstrated in keratinocytes of the skin. To investigate the expression of PPARs in human melanocytes and the effects of PPAR activators on melanocyte growth and melanogenesis. We used immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis to determine whether PPARs are expressed in melanocytes. To investigate further expression of PPAR subtypes, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed using PPAR subtype-specific oligonucleotides. The cell proliferation was measured usingInguilpata District

  in that state.[FN1]The California Statutory Insurance Scheme
California law provides for a mandatory insurance program so that employers can compensate workers injured on the job, and employers must buy workers' compensation insurance as a condition of doing business in California (see Cal Labor Code § 3700). The state of California has also created a comprehensive system to regulate the insurance companies that provide workers' compensation insurance to employers. To that end, the California legislature grants broad authority to the California Commissioner of Insurance (the Commissioner) and WCIRB to regulate and oversee the form and substance of all workers' compensation insurance plans, including the rates and practices of all insurance companies in the state. The Insurance Code provides that the WCIRB was organized, among other purposes, "[t]o provide reliable statistics


Code Section 11658, a workers' compensation insurance policy or endorsement shall not be issued by an insurer to any person in this state unless the insurer files a copy of the form or endorsement with the rating organization pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 11750.3." The directive states, "[T]he Insurance Commissioner has prohibited the use of Collateral Agreements, which is synonymous with the term  side-agreement,' concerning workers' compensation insurance unless they are attached to the policy." The directive further notes: "The Department is particularly concerned with arbitration provisions contained in unattached collateral agreements and considers such terms unenforceable unless the insurer can demonstrate that the arbitration agreement was expressly agreed to by the insured at the time the policy was issued."
Approximately one year later, the CDI beganAct of Congress shall be construed to invalidate, impair, or supersede any law enacted by any State for the purpose of regulating the business of insurance . . . unless such Act specifically relates to the business of insurance . . ." (id. at 500-501, quoting [*6]15 USC § 1012[b]). This clause establishes what the United States Supreme Court has described as a "clear-statement rule" (Fabe, 508 US at 507). While the federal government has the authority to regulate insurance, federal laws will be presumed not to reach insurance unless Congress expressly states an intent to do so. Thus, the McCarran—Ferguson Act gives states a dominant role in the regulation of insurance (see id. at 500).The Monarch Action
In the Monarch Action, the motion court granted National Union's cross


motion to compel arbitration and appoint an arbitrator and denied Monarch's petition to stay the arbitration. In so doing, the court noted that Monarch had executed the payment agreements, with the same arbitration clause, for seven years and therefore could not claim any surprise. Accordingly, the court found that National Union had demonstrated that the parties had an express agreement to arbitrate, and the arbitration clause was therefore enforceable. Further, the court found that an arbitrator should decide whether specific portions of the payment agreements were valid under California law.The Priority Business Services Action
In the Priority Business Services action, the motion court granted National Union's motion to compel arbitration and directed the parties to arbitrate their dispute. Citing the "strong federal policy encouraging arbitration" and the fact thatthe business of insurance is commerce within the meaning of the Commerce Clause," the court found that the FAA "applies to this petition and motion" and that the arbitration clause is valid.
Further, the court found "unpersuasive" "Priority's contention that the FAA cannot preempt California Insurance Code § 11658 . . . ." The court noted that the party challenging arbitration must show that application of the FAA would invalidate, impair, or supersede a state law enacted for the purpose of regulating insurance; thus, Priority would have to show an "inherent and direct conflict between California Insurance Code § 11658 and arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism" (citing Preston v Ferrer, 552 US 346, 356 [2008]). However, the court found, Priority could not make such a showing because §


agreements are void if insurers fail to file them [FN4]. We further note that the CDI's interpretation of the Insurance Code receives weight under both California and New York law (see State Farm Mut. Auto. Inc. Co. v Quackenbush, 77 Cal App 4th 65, 71, 91 Cal Rptr 2d 381 [Cal Ct App 1999]; Matter of New York Pub. Interest Research Group Inc v New York State Dept. of Ins., 66 NY2d 444, 448 [1985]).The Applicability of Ceradyne Inc. v Argonaut Insurance Company
In resolving this appeal, we must decide the weight that we will afford to Ceradyne, Inc. v Argonaut Insurance Company (2009 WL 1526071, 2009 Cal App Unpub LEXIS 4375), an unreported decision from the California Court of Appeal, as that decision is directly on point. Onmerely a loan agreement [*10](see e.g. Montgomery Ward & Co., Inc. v Imperial Cas. & Indem. Co., 81 Cal App 4th 356, 375, 97 Cal Rptr 2d 44, 56 [Cal. App 2d Dist 2000]; see also Haynes v Farmers Ins. Exch., 32 Cal 4th 1198, 1218-1219, 13 Cal Rptr 3d 68, 84-85 [2004] [Baxter, J., dissenting]).
Thus, we reject National Union's argument that the payment agreements do not modify the parties' insurance obligations, as this argument bespeaks a myopic view of those obligations. Specifically, National Union seems to suggest that the parties' "payment obligations" apply only to National Union's obligation to provide insurance and the insureds' obligation to pay premiums. But the parties' obligations go further than a simple obligation to pay or be paid. For example, without the


must be formally approved" (id.). Thus, "[w]orkers' compensation insurance programs are to be closely scrutinized and are highly regulated" (id.).
The court noted that, generally speaking, "a contract made in violation of a regulatory statute is void . . . [however], the rule is not an inflexible one to be applied in its fullest rigor under any and all circumstances" (id. [internal citations and quotations omitted]). Rather, in "compelling cases," illegal contracts will be enforced in order to "avoid unjust enrichment to a defendant and a disproportionately harsh penalty upon the plaintiff" (id.). Whether an illegal contract will be enforced, the court stated, depend upon various factors, including the policy to be advanced in enforcing the law and the particular facts of the case (id.).
Using these factors, the Ceradynewhether documents such as the payment agreements, which alter the terms of an insurance policy, should be filed for review. Nor did the bill's ultimate failure to be signed into law resolve that issue.
The dissent gives short shrift to the California Court of Appeals' reasoning in Ceradyne, stating that the decision is "not instructive" on the point of whether National Union challenges the payment agreements as a whole, or whether it challenges only the arbitration provisions. However, as we have noted, not even National Union takes the position that Ceradyne is irrelevant to any of the issues set forth here; instead, National Union merely takes the position that we may not rely on the case because it is unpublished in California.
Similarly, the dissent asserts that Rent-a-Center, West, Inc.


concur except Manzanet-Daniels and Gische, JJ. who dissent in an Opinion by Gische, J.
GISCHE, J. (dissenting)

Before we even reach the issue regarding whether the Payment Agreements are legally enforceable, the court first needs to determine whether it is the court or the arbitrators that decide the issue. I respectfully dissent because I believe that at this stage of the dispute the arbitrators, and not the court, should decide the gateway issue of whether the Payment Agreements containing the arbitration clauses are enforceable.
In each of the three cases before the court, the insurance companies issued workers' compensation policies to the insureds which covered workers in the State of California. The original insurance policies that were issued were filed with the Workers' Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau (WCIRB) in accordance withirrevocable, and enforceable, save upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract" (9 USC § 2).
In interpreting FAA § 2, the Supreme Court of the United States has repeatedly held that where a party's challenge is to the contract as a whole, and not specifically related to the arbitration clause, the issue of the contract's validity is considered by the arbitrator in the first instance (see Rent-A-Center West, Inc. v Jackson, 561 US 63 [2010]; Buckeye Check Cashing, Inc. v Sardegna, 546 US 440; Prima Paint Corp. v Flood & Conklin Mfg. Co., 388 US 395 [1967]). As explained by the Supreme Court in its most recent decision on the issue:
"There are two types of validity challenges under § 2:


One type challenges specifically the validity of the agreement to arbitrate, and [t]he other challenges the contract as a whole, either on a ground that directly affects the entire agreement (e.g., the agreement was fraudulently induced), or on the ground that the illegality of one of the contract's provisions renders the whole contract invalid.... [W]e held that only the first type of challenge is relevant to a court's determination whether the arbitration agreement at issue is enforceable. That is because § 2 states that a written provision to settle by arbitration a controversy is valid, irrevocable, and enforceable without mention of the validity of the contract in which it is contained. Thus, a party's challenge to another provision of the contract, or to the contract as a whole,does not prevent a court from enforcing a specific agreement to arbitrate. [A]s a matter of substantive federal arbitration law, an arbitration provision is severable from the remainder of the contract" (Rent-A-Center, 561 US 70) [internal citations omitted]).
Although the insureds in this case claim that they are only attacking the validity of the arbitration clauses, and that the validity of those clauses should be decided by the court and not the arbitrators, this position does not withstand scrutiny. If the failure to file the Payment [*16]Agreements with WCIRB renders the arbitration provisions unenforceable, it would likewise render all other provisions of the Payment Agreements unenforceable for the same reason. Consequently, the impact of the insureds' argument is not limited solely to the arbitration clauses contained within the Payment


polysomnography on their first nights at Sea Level and the South Pole using the Vivometrics LifeShirt(®). Within group changes were assessed with Wilcoxon signed rank tests and between group differences were assessed with Kruskal-Wallis rank sum tests. Overall, 21/38 subjects met criteria for AMS at some time on or prior to the third morning at the South Pole. Subjective poor sleep quality was reported by both AMS (65%) and no AMS (41%) groups. The Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) increased significantly in both the AMS and no AMS groups, but the difference in the increase between the two groups was not statistically significant. Increased AHI was not associated with increased AMS symptoms. Previous altitude illness (p=0.06) and residence at low altitudes (p = 0.02) were risk factors for AMS.Barbiturate-induced coma to protect against cerebral ischemia and increased intracranial pressure.
The use of barbiturates to induce coma as a means of extending the period of reversible cerebral ischemia is reviewed. Barbiturate use in patients who had had strokes or were undergoing aneurysm surgery was initially encouraging. In uncontrolled feasibility trials in patients with cardiopulmonary arrest or in deep coma, 40 patients received 10 mg/kg thiopental sodium by i.v. push followed by 20 mg/kg thiopental sodium i.v. over the next 30 minutes; 60% of these patients regained consciousness. In a subgroup of 22 patients who had ischemia normally associated with a 90% mortality rate, 14 recovered completely. In the largest clinical trial, 45 patients with severe head injury and elevated intracranial pressure received 3--5 mg/kg pentobarbital over 10--20 minutes.


1. Introduction {#sec1}
===============

Parasitic copepods infect virtually all aquatic animal groups and show a staggering diversity in body form and life cycle strategies ([@bib5]). Particularly within the order Siphonostomatoida, that contains 40 families of exclusively parasitic forms, Caligidae is the richest in number of species ([@bib6]). Caligid copepods are commonly known as Sea Lice and comprise 31 genera, of which, *Caligus* Müller, 1785 and *Lepeophtheirus* Von Nordmann, 1832 are the most diverse ([@bib13], [@bib6]).

Sea lice are dominant ectoparasitic of farmed and wild fish populations around the world ([@bib11]). They feed on the epithelial tissue of their hosts and may promote diseases in fish populations ([@bib20], [@bib36]). Sea lice also are considered as a economically important parasitic species around the world ([@bib20], [@bib29]). Particularly, infestations of the species of *Lepeophtheirus*Marites" lagoon, seem to indicate that infestation of *Lepeophtheirus* sp could be an important factor affecting wild populations of *S. herzbergii* and another aquatic species in this water body. Therefore, more studies about effects of copepod parasitic on survivorship and fecundity of this fish species are requested.

to marry him in the ordinary way, and Chess, being in that wrinkled state of mind, might have said yes. There was that chemistry between them, of like minds meeting, only their minds were more used to business ventures than romantic love.

"Three years?" Chess repeated, weighing the years. She liked the weight.

"Anything less and it won't seem like a marriage."

"You're right." Chess liked Will's thoughtfulness. "Who knows when the real thing will come along. What if we meet someone? While we're still married?"

"Then we shake hands right there."

"I don't want to die never having been married. Let's think about it for three weeks. If it still sounds like a good plan, let's go ahead and sign the contract."

"I will call you in three weeks."

Chess didn't think she'd_was_ his prom tux. Every time he shouted for quiet, his arms shot up and there, right under his jacket, the butt of a gun would thrust into view.

Chess was getting hungry so she started eating an energy bar. Blueberry oatmeal. She always had a couple in her mammoth bag in case of emergencies: her schedule was hectic, her blood sugar level a constant worry.

"Want some?" she asked, offering the bar to Will.

"Yeah. Thanks." Nervous waiting always made him hungry.

Will took a bite. He was liking Chess more and more; she was elegant and yet so sweet in her chestnut brown shift dress and matching jacket. He felt out of place beside her, with that longing of wanting to feel at home. He hadn't expected her to feel


wind chimes. In fact, Jane herself was a lot like delicate wind chimes, ready to blow away with any insistent wind.

"No," Chess admitted.

"I told you, we didn't have time," Will impatiently interrupted. "We don't even have time to do this."

"Well, you'll have one soon. I hope. Did you even have a wedding dress?"

"No," Chess said, shaking her head.

"So what did you wear?" Jane asked, horrified.

"She had a very nice dress on," Will said, hoping curtness would stop Jane from being so nosy.

"I wore my brown silk-wool shift," Chess said. "With a matching jacket. I had it custom-made when I was in Hong Kong last year."

Jane looked into Chess's eyes with great compassion, wanting Chess to know that she, Jane, really knew what was in Chess's heart, brave andthe keys in case of an emergency. The likelihood of both Will and Chess losing their keys seemed low but Chess decided this was one battle not worth fighting (one of her marriage books had advised that wives should choose their battles wisely). And it was only for 32 months.

At first Chess thought Jane missed her brother and that was why she came over so often. And then she thought it was curiosity. Jane seemed fascinated by every aspect of her brother's marriage.

"You guys have separate bedrooms!"

"Just easier," Chess said. "We come home at really odd hours and this way we're not constantly waking each other up. Is that too modern?"

"Actually, it's very old-fashioned. Once upon a time, only the poor shared bedrooms. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert


clean up. They'd been very lucky. Some glass tumblers had fallen off a shelf but that was about it.

"Let's turn on the news," Will said. But they couldn't turn the TV on. Or the lights. The electricity was out. Luckily they'd just bought a hand-crank radio, part of their growing emergency kit: a 5.5 earthquake was being reported, but they were well away from the epicenter.

"How long do you think the electricity will be out?" Chess wanted to know. She had so much work to do.

"Maybe a couple of hours?" Will speculated.

The news began reporting water main breaks. One was near them. Will turned on the faucet. After a minute, the stream of water began to sputter.

"Damn. No water."

"And how long will that take to fix?" Chess wondered.

Thea temporary marriage.)

How much another person's habits can change yours. (Chess was now eating cold pizza for breakfast, a specialty of Will's.)

That Will was always happy to open stuck jar lids.

That Chess was so adept at taking care of the painful ingrowns on Will's face.

Of course, both knew that having someone watch your back was crucial to survival, but who knew that having someone scrub your back was so delightful?

That on a cold night, the bed could be a very cozy place when there was someone pleasant beside you.

How much more garbage two people produce vs. one.

How they now looked forward to vacations instead of avoiding them in preference for work. A whole new world had opened up: the couple vacation, romantic islands and cute B&Bs, ordering a


bottle of wine instead of glass by glass.

How nice it was that people thought you were finally happy and deserved to be so.

How easy it was to believe in something that wasn't real, especially when other people thought it was real, even with that shadow of guilt.

That time goes so quickly. Only 24 months left.

Happy Anniversary

Although Will and Jane were mostly at odds with each other, there was a great deal of love between them. It was just the expression of love that was embattled.

Still grieving that Will and Chess had been deprived of a White Wedding, Jane ended up spending quite a bit of money on a lavish catered buffet.

"Caviar! Lobster! Champagne!" she gleefully announced to her guests.

Her guests were close family friends. Gathered together, they marveledseen two people become friends so quickly. They liked the same movies and the same books. They liked linen dresses and Earl Grey tea with extra bergamot. Chicken soup was best for colds and a good soaking rain lifted their spirits. Listening to _Clair de Lune_ made them cry; the _Minute Waltz_ made them squeal with laughter. By the end of lunch, they were debating on whether to adopt a cat together.

In the end, they didn't adopt a cat, but Jane herself was adopted by Akara's family. She was so loved by them that they felt Akara was just temporarily moving in with an older sister rather than moving away from home. Just as Jane used to visit Will and Chess several times a day, Akara's extended family


it," she said, disappointed.

"Don't worry. They'll be plenty to come."

Around midnight the meteors began appearing at regular intervals. It wasn't a shower the way Chess had imagined but they did come frequently enough that she had to keep her eyes on the cloudless sky. For the first time she understood what a shooting star was. Some of the stones had burning tails miles and miles long.

"The real meteor activity won't be until three in the morning," Will said.

"Three?" It'd already been such a long night. She was too old to stay up until morning. "You don't mind if I take a nap?"

"No. Go ahead. I'll wake you when all the action starts."

"Thanks."

Chess got in the car, rolled down the seat as far as it would go and closedChess a little nervous. She wasn't sure if she could fool them. Wouldn't they all know that she and Will weren't really married? She wasn't happy about needing to fool them either.

The ceremony was being held at a restaurant. The large outside patio had been set aside for the roughly fifty or so guests. The divorce ceremony was identical to a wedding ceremony. The happy couple stood on top of a platform with a minister, the minister blessing them as they vowed to be kind to one another. To make it symbolically official, the couple placed their wedding rings in an empty champagne bottle and smashed the bottle with shiny silver hammers. Now they were legally and emotionally free. Carly cried. Her ex-husband cried. And then Carly thanked
