News earlier this year the closure was bittersweet.But other clinics aren't closing for lack of need. They simply can't find enough donors since many who had been opening their wallets are now under the impression that universal coverage exists."As soon as there was the perception of universal healthcare, the likelihood of receiving donations goes down," Colin McRae, a board member for Savannah Georgia's Community Health Mission, which closed Oct. 30.

structure and content (eg, group therapy vs combined family and individual therapy; tailoring of exercises to group format; and adult-relevant topics, eg, work setting). Treatment fidelity is ensured through regular supervision, also preventing a drift in treatment delivery.

Control intervention---TAU

The TAU control condition consists of one visit with a physician, and up to five 60 min individual nutritional counselling sessions with a nutritionist over 4 months, in addition to 60 min weekly or semiweekly physical activity sessions as described. This TAU is the commonly offered treatment at the IFB outpatient unit.

Measures {#s2d}
--------

### Primary and secondary outcomes {#s2d1}

The primary outcome measure is the weight regain (kg) at 6-month follow-up (t2, 10 months after t0), compared with pre-treatment weight (t0), both derived from objectively measured body weight through calibrated instruments. Weight regain is consistently reportedprevious WLM treatment studies.[@R52] For patients who discontinue or deviate from the intervention protocol, it is nevertheless planned to conduct assessments and complete follow-ups. Efforts to retain as many participants as possible throughout the study period include information on the relevance and necessity of the study, use of continuity forms locating participants throughout the study period, and use of incentives for follow-up assessments.

### Randomisation {#s2e2}

Patients meeting study criteria are enrolled and randomised by trained study staff after giving written informed consent. To ensure concealment of allocation, the randomisation is centrally performed using an online randomisation tool hosted by the Coordination Center for Clinical Trials of the University of Leipzig. Randomisation is based on Pocock\'s minimisation algorithm[@R55] and stratified by sex. The allocation ratio between the two study arms


serious adverse events are those that led to death, are life-threatening, make inpatient treatment necessary, lead to sustained harm, or cause birth defects or deformities. Serious adverse events include mental or physical decompensations that indicate a need for hospitalisation (eg, acute suicidality). Adverse events are recorded through a self-report assessment of somatic symptoms[@R45] [@R46] at pre-treatment (t0) through 6-month follow-up (t2) and an unstandardised reporting of adverse events every week during treatment. Any serious adverse event is immediately reported to the Ethical Committee of the University of Leipzig. In case of adverse events making ancillary or post-trial care necessary, participants are referred to local medical care services.

A:

I was able to solve it by including the payment method in the field default_payment_method.
This field is described as follows:

ID of the default payment method for the subscription. It must belong
  to the customer associated with the subscription. If not set, invoices
  will use the default payment method in the customer’s invoice
  settings.

So I assumed that it would use the payment method I associated with the customer when not defined. It seems it is not happening, tough, so I needed to pass it explicitly (is it a Stripe bug? or creating the customer with paymentMethod doesn't make it the default payment method in the customer’s invoice settings? I will


contact Stripe to make sure).
Update (2019-09-23)
I contacted Stripe asking if this was a bug and they replied:

[...] With that being said though, this wouldn't be a bug on our end, rather
  expected behavior.
If you're wanting for the Payment Method that you're adding to the
  customer object to be used on subscriptions, or invoices, by default
  without specifying the default_payment_method when creating the
  subscription then you would want to attach the Payment Method and
  specify the invoice_settings.default_payment_method parameter when
  updating the customer. This information can be found within our API
  reference here:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/attach
The parameter to use when updating this can be found on the customer
  object itself, here:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method
This can also be specified upon customer creation, which can be seen
  here:

Review: The Dawn of McScienceBy Richard HortonThe New York Review of BooksCurrent issue, Volume 51, Number 4http://www.nybooks.com/articles/16954Science in the Private Interest: Has the Lure of Profits CorruptedBiomedical Research?by Sheldon KrimskyRowman and Littlefield, 247 pp., $27.95

One of the most striking aspects of John Paul II's papal leadership has been his frequent and outspoken forays into science, especially the life


of disclosure. Reporting a payment, a gift, or other interest has become a panacea, especially in medical journals, allowing scientists to wash their hands of criticism.

This situation cannot be justified. Krimsky writes that "the relationship between conflicts of interest and bias has been downplayed within the scientific community to protect the entrepreneurial ethos in academia." But the damage inflicted by the influence of profit on the purpose of science has spread far beyond the university. The federal advisory committees that dispense funds now give private interests priority over public ones. If committee members receive substantial payments from industries, this should in principle disqualify them from decisions affecting those industries. In the case of vaccine policy, for example, Krimsky quotes a 1999 US House of Representatives Committee on Governmentenacted a list of statutes that mandated the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to cooperate with the private sector. Concerns were raised long ago by some academics about this changing landscape of science. Writing in 1991, William Raub, then acting director of the NIH, commented that

"the American body politic traditionally has erupted in anger when publicly financed activities yield undue private gain, when information intended for the many becomes the exclusive possession of the few, when personal goals are advanced at the expense of national ones, or when the prospect of profit breeds dishonest dealing."[7]

"A decade later, many of these predictions have come true. When scientists ask colleagues to share their data, genetic discoveries, for example, are frequently withheld.[8] This proprietorial approach to new research findings is an


unrecognized bias that cannot be ameliorated by either disclosure or limiting the size of the gift.[16]

An alternative view is that a dissolution of the partnership between science and commerce is neither possible nor desirable. Science is not merely about generating knowledge. It is about innovation. Businesses are increasingly "outsourcing" their research and development costs, i.e., allocating them to academic and other research institutions with which they make contracts. Universities have long had a valuable and justifiable part to play in fostering research into new medical remedies. Those scientists who wish to be entrepreneurs should be encouraged to develop an interest in their invention, not prevented from doing so. The crucial point is that rules should be put in place to ensure that these more commercially minded investigators areorganizations whose funding decisions are determined by disinterested scientists themselves, whether in university departments, charitable foundations, or government agencies such as the National Institutes of Health.

While Ziman's partial solution to the threat posed by private-interest science certainly sounds more practical than Krimsky's desire to turn back the entire tide of commerce, it also poses its own dangers. In a brief and tantalizing epilogue to his social history of truth, Steven Shapin speculates about the way trust and credibility are manipulated in the modern era. He notes that

"we are told things about the world [today] by people whom we do not know, working in places we have not been. Trust is no longer bestowed on familiar individuals; it is accorded to institutions and abstract capacities thought to reside in

   However with a 3-dimensional integrated circuit, through-hole connecting leads can be provided between the various layers, i.e. connecting leads which pass through the insulating layers between the active semiconductor layers. With a 2-dimensional integrated circuit, the connecting lead lengths may be as long as several millimeters. However in the case of a 3-dimensional integrated circuit, the maximum connecting lead length (between the uppermost and lowermost semiconductor layers) can be held to several micronmeters. Furthermore in the case of a 3-dimensional integrated circuit, circuit elements are formed upon an insulating film, and as a result the amount of self-capacitance of each component is smaller than in the case of a 2-dimensional integrated circuit. This leads to inherently higher operating speed capabilities for the circuit components.

it's at least sleazy, if not outright
dishonest. There are legitimate uses for trial offers, so it's a bit of a
judgment case, and I think depends to a large extent on just how clearly the
terms are communicated. In particular, it should be very clear to customers of
average sophistication exactly what will be rebilled, and exactly what they
need to do to avoid the rebill if they'd like to cancel--- and the cancelling
should be easy.

I agree. If you genuinely feel that your product is worth the $80/month and
that your customer will feel the same way, why not send them a reminder a few
days before the trial stops to let them know? Maybe give them a freebie if
they continue the membership.

# The shell sub-task

This sub-task allows you to use ``pig`` on interactive mode. For doing this you should call the
application with the following arguments:

```
you@SOMEWHERE:~/over/the/rainbow# pig --sub-task=shell
```

Just after will be presented a very simple shell prompt:

```
you@SOMEWHERE:~/over/the/rainbow# pig --sub-task=shell
~ _
```

With this shell you are able to do anything that you do on batch mode and also things that you do not.

Even on interactive mode is necessary to indicate the options ``--gateway`` or ``--no-gateway``, ``--net-mask``, ``--lo-iface``.
Depending on the loaded signatures, you also need to specify some additional options related with your desired task.

## Setting the pig options

There are two ways for doing this. You can pass these options when starting ``pig`` on "shell mode" or into the ``shell``
specify the options using the command ``set`` as follows:

```
~ set net-mask=255.255.255.0
~ set gateway=10.0.2.2
~ seta pigsty using the rules explained in the main [``README.md``](https://github.com/rafael-santiago/pig/blob/master/README.md).

Sometimes a pigsty can be longer so a good way is to escape the line with a backslash to keep your sanity:

```
~ [ ip.version = 4,\
... ip.protocol = 17,\
... ip.src = user-defined-ip,\
... ip.dst = 224.12.23.3,\
... udp.src = 6,\
... udp.dst = 20,\
... udp.payload = "(null)",\
... signature = "s1lly-t0o" ]
1 signature was added. --
```

I find it good but only for minor tasks, things that you do not need to follow any method.

## Manipulating your loaded pigsties

When you have some specific routine task to perform, the best way is to save the related pigsties as files
and later load them all. When you use ``pig`` on standard ``batch-mode`` you can load previous pigsties with
the option ``--signatures``. On ``shell`` you can use the command


Tamoxifen for the prevention of breast cancer: psychosocial impact on women participating in two randomized controlled trials.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychosocial implications of tamoxifen versus placebo in women who are at increased risk of breast cancer. The 488 women in the psychosocial study were recruited from participants in two placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, controlled trials that investigated the efficacy of tamoxifen in the prevention of breast cancer in women who are at high familial risk. During a 5-year period, repeated assessments were made of anxiety, psychological distress, and sexual functioning using standardized questionnaires before treatment at baseline and at 6-month intervals during the trial. Questionnaire completion over 5 years was good, with 71.1% of women returning at least 8 of 10 follow-up assessments. AlthoughFresh from two tours each in Iraq, decorated former Marines Sean O'Neill and Mike Ergo give antiwar speeches at Northern California high schools.

Although their numbers are still small compared with the draft-fueled Vietnam veterans' movement four decades ago, California's Iraq veterans are gaining a voice in opposition to America's continued military presence in Iraq. Recent antiwar demonstrations in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other cities have seen the first sizable contingents of veterans from the conflict.

The protesters even include some soldiers - like Cantu, of Los Angeles - who are still on active duty. "I've taken a public antiwar stance," Cantu, 29, recently e-mailed from Baghdad, where he serves in intelligence with the 1st Cavalry Division, "but I didn't shirk my responsibilities."

1a: Genetic variations among humans mostly exist in the form of SNPs and may underlie in part the quantitative variations in most complex traits in humans. Our hypothesis is that most common SNPs may be functional and that the minor alleles of SNPs may be deleterious to most complex traits and hence negatively selected. We have developed novel methods to examine the role of minor alleles in complex traits and diseases. Here in this project, we would like to examine the role of minor alleles of common SNPs in various human traits using data from the UK Biobank. As a start, we will examine associations of all minor alleles of common SNPs in the database with several human complex diseases and traits, including Parkinson’s

Worker scared if he 'screwed up, someone would have died'

Monis was described by Mr Morton-Hoffman as emotional and "a very dangerous toddler" whose demands would "change with the wind".

The inquest was told hostages placated Monis by pandering to his ideology and criticising then prime minister Tony Abbott — with whom he had requested a live radio debate.

Earlier, Mr Morton-Hoffman told the hearing he was given "a lot of responsibility" by Monis and was scared that "if [he] screwed up someone would have died".

Mr Morton-Hoffman said Monis "freaked out" when he saw police and "pointed his gun at one of the hostages".

In a phone call played to the hearing,the police negotiator asked "how big is the gun?" and Mr Morton-Hoffman responded "[it's a] shotgun ... if you come closer he will shoot and he will explode his bomb".

"He's going to shoot a lady in front of me," Mr Morton-Hoffman is heard saying.

Hostage Louisa Hope could be heard in the background saying "I don't want to die".

Mr Morton-Hoffman earlier said Monis made it the employee's job to accompany people to the toilet and that cafe manager Tori Johnson used a false toilet trip to text message a hostage who had already escaped and who was a fellow staff member, about a side door that was open.

The inquest heard Mr Morton-Hoffman made 10 to 15 trips to the bathroom during which he discussed a possible escape through the

less profound for plants and insects[@b17]. Here we present new observations and investigations of wrinkle structures and trace fossils as well as their space relations in shallow-shore lacustrine siliciclastic deposits of Lower Triassic strata from North China that provides an exceptionally detailed record of terrestrial aquatic ecosystems during the P-Tr crisis.

Results
=======

North China was located in the north tropical zone, between about 10°N and 20°N during the P-Tr transitional time (see [Supplementary Fig. S1](#S1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). Since the Middle Permian, North China had been largely land, and rock successions are characterized by fluvial-lacustrine sedimentary facies. During the earliest Triassic, the central part of North China was dominated by east-west distributed lacustrine deposition, surrounded by dozens of lake deltas and flooding sandy plains ([Supplementary Fig. S2b](#S1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). The Upper Permian to Lower Triassicwhen mats provided a veneer between the lithologically identical overlying and underlying beds[@b2].

Discussion
==========

Blooms of microbial-related sedimentary structures are usually caused by a combination of biotic and sedimentological factors, such as bioturbation, grazing pressure, nutrient levels and sediment dynamics. Modern studies show that the intensity of bioturbation directly determines the presence or absence of microbial mat communities[@b29]. The geological record suggests that microbial communities usually proliferated in the aftermath of mass extinctions in the post-Cambrian[@b5][@b7][@b8][@b9], in both carbonate and siliciclastic settings. As the greatest crisis of the Phanerozoic, current studies show that the land ecosystem suffered marked biotic losses during the P-Tr mass extinction[@b15][@b16][@b17]. There is strong evidence for the absence of metazoans and of bioturbation in the Liujiagou Formation in North China, and from the varying bioturbation index


we are dealing with a restrictive covenant for a subdivision, a private agreement between contracting parties as opposed to the city ordinance in City of Woodstock. It uses the term "mobile home" but does not attempt to define it. We will not strike this restrictive covenant as being too vague and indefinite simply because the phrase "mobile home" is not therein defined. Instead, we will examine those words in light of our rules regarding construction of covenants to determine if any meaning can be attached to them.
"Covenants are to be so construed as to carry into effect the intention of the parties, which is to be collected from the whole instrument, and the circumstances surrounding its execution." Dooley v. Savannah Bank &c. Co., 199 Ga. 353, 357 (34find this to be persuasive because a subdivision may impose greater restrictions on the use of land by its covenants than are imposed by the general county code. In this case, the county's definition of modular home was drawn up several years after the restrictive covenant at issue here, and it did not change what was intended to be restricted by that covenant.
The trial judge did not abuse his discretion by holding that appellant's dwelling was a mobile home rather than a modular home and by issuing the injunction.
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
NOTES
[1]  In this case, a zoning ordinance restricting the placement of mobile homes was struck down on constitutional grounds not presented here.

Conventional media processing methods employ media fingerprinting to identify near-duplicate media, and/or portions thereof. However, many media fingerprinting systems and/or methods produce hashes that are dependent on the orientation of the media. As such, flipping the media vertically or horizontally may prevent a hash associated with the fingerprint from matching duplicate or near duplicate media. Because flipped versions of media can be viewed on devices (e.g., mobile devices), fingerprints (and/or hashes associated with fingerprints) that are ineffective against flipped versions of media can be problematic. As such, systems and methods that provide approaches for generating flip-resistant media fingerprints are desired.this uprising before it has a chance to truly take root.

 gAssociation between the CYP1B1 polymorphisms and risk of cancer: a meta-analysis.
The previous, published data on the association between CYP1B1 polymorphisms and cancer risk remained controversial. To derive a more precise estimation of the association between the CYP1B1 polymorphisms and cancer risk, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association between cancer susceptibility and CYP1B1 Leu432Val, Asn453Ser, Arg48Gly, and Ala119Ser polymorphisms. For Asn453Ser and Arg48Gly polymorphisms, significantly decreased endometrial cancer was observed among Caucasians. For Ala119Ser polymorphism, we found that individuals with the minor variant genotypes had a high risk of prostate cancer. For Leu432Val polymorphism, we found that individuals with the minor variant genotypes had a higher risk of endometrial cancer and lung cancer and had a lower risk of ovarian cancer. In summary, this meta-analysis suggests that


surface of the circuit board with a screened, low melting point solder paste. Since attachment of the module to the board is made only on the surface of the board, the attachment land, drill diameter, and clearance land sizes may be reduced in size, thus allowing greater wiring area. Solder ball connection provides the advantage of enhanced system speed because the signal net length is reduced and also provides the advantage of enhanced wiring capability due to reduced via and land diameters.
However, a problem with solder ball connect technology occurs where the solder ball connection is being made to a conventional through hole or via. When such a connection has been attempted, the screened eutectic paste used to connect the solder ball to the board flows through thethe solvent is released, thus causing non-planar surfaces and additional voids. A still further drawback with such materials is limited solderability.
It would be desirable to have solder ball connections directly at through holes thereby consuming less real estate, decreasing signal line length and increasing wireability, and yet exhibiting satisfactory solder joints.

In less extrme cases, you might wonder, why changing a module, even rendering it syntactically incorrect does not have any impact on your script. Is it even loading that copy of the module?

Perl provides a variable called %INC, it is slightly related to @INC but not to be confused with it. %INC contains information about modules that have been loaded into memory by the currently running process.

The most simple way to see it, is by using Data::Dumper with the following one-liner:


node_prev_sibling(struct node_t* node);
node_t* node_next_sibling(struct node_t* node);
int node_child_position(struct node_t* parent, node_t* child);

typedef void* (*copy_func_t)(const void *src);
node_t* node_copy_deep(node_t* node, copy_func_t copy_func);

void node_debug(struct node_t* node);

collision on MD5.
Altering the bitwise functions in the rounds will have an impact, since it will change the differential paths which collision attacks use. However, the functions that MD5 uses are not especially weak; there is no indication that any other choice would make the function stronger. There is, however, a good probability that other functions might make any MD5 variant substantially weaker.

To sum up, among the changes that you suggest, there are some changes which should not change security, and some others which have a rather high probability of decreasing security quite a bit -- and beginning with a function which is already broken. That's an achievement, but not a very positive one.

It seems that you want to use your MD5 variant to generate randomness. It must


of our video scouts has a computer screen with a replica of the field and about 50,000 pixels to choose from to determine the exact location of every batted ball,” Dewan says. “We mark the exact location and velocity of everything.”

Dewan’s staff has to do this all by hand, of course; finding ways to statistically measure fielding makes the Moneyball-chronicled process of rethinking hitting-and-pitching statistics look like a real cakewalk. The old batting statistics weren’t perfect, but they were the building blocks of better measures. The only commonly kept fielding stat, by contrast, was “errors,” which should have long ago gone the way of the bull-pen car. Errors are merely a tally of blatantly noticeable mistakes, which are a minuscule part of what happens in the field. Ado you decide whether the left-fielder should have been in better position to catch a shallow, looping fly ball? For almost its entire history, baseball’s simple answer was: You don’t. You mark errors and leave everything else up to individual judgment. But using improved technology (most notably easy-to-access online video) and clever reasoning, Dewan and his analysts have come closer to figuring out defense than ever before.

Dewan has long known “errors” were an insufficient defensive barometer, but he also thought other companies, including his old company Stats, weren’t even getting the more nuanced details right. Dewan has each of his scouts note not only where the ball was hit but also its type (grounder, fly


as Baseball Prospectus co-founder Clay Davenport says, “everyone’s pursuing variations of the same idea,” and the competition between metrics leads to greater accuracy for all.

That’s a good thing, since the field is still young and subject to volatility. Consider the example of Derek Jeter. For the first part of his career, Jeter was regarded as one of the best fielders in the game, but the reputation was mostly based on the anecdotal observations of sportswriters, broadcasters, and managers impressed by his jump throws from the hole at shortstop and his famous “flip play” against the A’s in the 2001 American League Division Series. (He won three Gold Gloves in a row, starting in 2004.) But defensive metrics like Dewan’s showed him to be not only an overrated defenderbut in fact a wretched one. His Runs Saved number was -28 in 2005, -18 in 2006, and -23 in 2007, making him one of the worst shortstops in baseball all three years. (As far back as 2001, Baseball Prospectus famously described Jeter’s defense as “yecch.”) But in the last two years, he has improved dramatically in Dewan’s estimation, a highly unusual development for a player in his mid-thirties. His Runs Saved number was -9 in 2008 and actually +2 last season.

Did Jeter get better, or did the numbers become more accurate? Probably both, but it’s impossible to be too precise; there are fielding-statistics innovations yet to be made. (For example, none of the leading fielding metrics measures the defensive abilities of catchers, who are the most important

Southern University official has been with Cooperative Extension for 50 years

williams final .jpg

As the Cooperative Extension service celebrates 100 years, the LSU Agricultural Center is recognizing Leodrey Williams, who has been working with Southern University, LSU and serving at the national level as it relates to extension. (Olivia McClure)

Leodrey Williams, chancellor of Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center, has been working for the Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service, for 50 years, half the time the Cooperative Extension has been in existence, according to a news release from the LSU Agricultural Center.

In 1914, the passage of the Smith-Lever Act, created a partnership between agricultural colleges and the United States Department of Agriculture in efforts to support agricultural extension work.

Extension work in Louisiana had only took place throughLSU but in 1971, Southern University created its own extension office.

Williams was hired as an agriculture specialist.Five years later, Williams went LSU to serve as associate state agent, director of Equal Employment Opportunity and associate professor in the Department of Extension and International Education, positions he held for four years. In 1980, Wilson became extension director at Southern University.Soon after, Williams would serve as the national director of the Cooperative Extension Service, making him responsible for funding extension programs of 104 land-grant universities around the country.

Williams would return to SU to take on his previous role on extension director in 1995.

Then, in 2001 Williams was asked to head the newly-formed Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center, in which he has been the center's only chancellor.

How to force a remote merge from a pull request on git?

So I got the main repo (let's call it repo 1) and a fork of it (called repo 2).
When all changes were committed to repo 2 I started a pull request from 2 to 1, then tried to merge on bitbucket website so to downloaded the modified files to the server where repo 1 original files are, and that's when it gives an error:

Bitbucket cannot automatically merge this request due to conflicts.

PostgreSQL: return message after count = 0

I have maybe easy question, but I'm completely stucked.
I have script
SELECT COALESCE(COUNT(id), 0) as MyFiels from table

It works fine and when I have zero value it shows 0.
But I want that instead of 0, I can see one line = "NO RESULTS" for example.
I tried:

Where I'm incorrect? Any ideas?

A:

I see what is the error, you are trying to use coalesce to convert 0 to string, and coalesce convert null to something. You need use a CASE

Adults infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are at significantly higher risk of invasive and recurrent pneumococcal infections despite combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) \[[@CIT0001]--[@CIT0003]\]. This risk may be related to HIV-related accelerated senescence of immune repertoire and loss of memory B cells prior to viral suppression and the relative dysregulation of the reconstituted but incompletely restored immune system following antiretroviral therapy \[[@CIT0004]--[@CIT0008]\]. Consequently most authorities, including the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization (WHO), the European AIDS Clinical Society and the British HIV Association, recommend pneumococcal vaccination for all HIV-positive adults regardless of immune status \[[@CIT0009]--[@CIT0013]\].

Strategies to optimize vaccine efficacy and effectiveness at the individual and public health levels vary from country to country.

Percentage of HIV-positive adults with persistent immune responses defined by a twofold or more IgG rise to at least two *Streptococcus pneumoniae* serotypes in the second, third, fourth and fifth years following one or two doses of PCV7 by intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses (primary end point)

memory B cells via a T-cell-dependent response and natural boosting contributed to antibody persistence \[[@CIT0035],[@CIT0037]--[@CIT0039]\]. The levels of antibody persistence are a novel finding for this population, since no prior studies have been conducted in HIV-positive adults with good disease control or in adults with a high incidence of pneumococcal carriage as evidenced by the high prevaccination GMTs with baseline titres greater than 1 µg/mL for two of the four serotypes in our cohort. These high baseline GMTs are in line with the high prevaccination GMTs exceeding 1 µg/mL for all tested serotypes of past or present HIV cohorts in the United States and Spain due to the high pre-PCV incidence of pneumococcal disease and colonization among HIV-positive individuals \[[@CIT0040]--[@CIT0042]\]. However, to our knowledge, the present study is


with many years of exposure to pneumococci \[[@CIT0058]\], the primary end point in our study used only the fold increase in antibody concentrations to denote immunogenicity. Using a twofold increase in IgG titres, only 13 to 39% of adult renal transplant recipients compared to 40 to 78% of our HIV-positive participants maintained responses three years after one dose of PCV7 \[[@CIT0056]\].

Double dosing (1 ml) or multiple sequential doses have been administered to improve primary immune responses and also to extend durability of these responses \[[@CIT0049],[@CIT0052],[@CIT0060],[@CIT0061]\]. Previously, we demonstrated superiority of two doses of PCV7 over one dose for HIV-positive adults up to 48 weeks post-vaccination \[[@CIT0022]\]. Here, we show that the dose-response persists after five years. However, in the only clinical efficacy trial of PCV7 in HIV-positive adultsrelevant.

The 13-valent PCV (PCV13, Prevnar 13), licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2010 for prevention of IPD and otitis media among young children, has now superseded PCV7 \[[@CIT0065]\]. PCV13 contains the seven serotypes included in PCV7 (serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F and 23F) and six additional serotypes (serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F and 19A). PCV13 has comparable immunogenicity to the serotypes common with PCV7 and a comparable adverse reaction profile to PCV7 \[[@CIT0066]\]. Hence, it may be possible to extrapolate the findings of our study to PCV13.

Data on the PCVs are too preliminary to suggest the optimal timing of booster vaccination in adults \[[@CIT0043]--[@CIT0048],[@CIT0050],[@CIT0057]\]. Our study addresses this gap, although it was not designed to answer questions on dosing schedules. Given cART,


OPA titres ≥8 were not necessarily predictive of IPD in children \[[@CIT0059]\] and OPA results appear to correlate well with antibody concentrations even in immunocompromised hosts \[[@CIT0054],[@CIT0067]\]. Fourth, our findings may not apply to women. Lastly, a larger sample size may be necessary to render the long-term dose-effect statistically significant.

We conclude that primary vaccination with one or two 0.5-ml doses of PCV7 achieved durable serological responses in HIV-treated adults throughout the five years of follow-up. This remarkable persistence of antibody responses in contrast to the more rapid decline seen in other immunocompromised populations is sustained by long-term antiretroviral therapy and immune reconstitution.

Uploading contents of a text file to a string in memory using the "Upload" widget in Vaadin 14

I know Vaadin 14 offers the Upload component for the user to either pick a file(s) to upload or to drag-and-drop file(s).
But I am not sure how to use it. I want the contents of a plain text file on the web browser’s machine to load into memory as a String or CharSequence on the server machine.
While the description page for that component has some examples, I could use a complete yet minimal example of loading plain text.

US expects thaw in tensions with Turkey, State Dept spox says

The United States is expecting a thaw in recent tensions with Turkey, a spokesperson for the State Department said late Thursday.

Heather Nauert also said that Wednesday's phone call between Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and his U.S. counterpart Rex Tillerson included the arrest of American pastor Andrew Brunson, who is under arrest in İzmir on charges linked to Gülenist terror group (FETÖ).

Nauert went on to say that the United States expects Turkey to "fulfill promise of enabling access to lawyers" for Metin Topuz, a communications employee for the US' Istanbul Consulate-General, who has recently been arrested for FETÖ links.

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdağ said in an interview with broadcaster Habertürk earlier on the same day that Topuz hasarena rep at really high ratings- and there's plenty of mages there too.

I don't really get why every deep has to be so goddamned threatening, on top of a class with solid spammable CC. I can't threaten that well outside of dance, and I certainly can't throw out a CC at a teammate for every dance- much less every kidney shot. I get that different classes are different, but EVERY DEEP is like this.

system is recommended by RecruiterGuy for many reasons. First of all, you may automate the approval process and easily track the progress of an approval, sourcing, candidates, recruiter notes, and the interviewing and on boarding processes. Secondly, with the more aggressive enforcement of Federal OFCCP regulations, applicant tracking systems will create the required reports (if you enter the information). Thirdly, you may search and retrieve candidates who are in your own database. Larger companies require the more robust HRIS systems just to cope with the amount of information flowing into and out of them.

How do you decide which applicant tracking system is best for your company? Sylvia Dahlby of Advanced Personal Systems, Inc (smartsearch) recommends that you develop an RFP.

from what we will call a global variable test.

The global variable test is based on the finding [@baier; @invint] that in a one-photon approximation, gauge invariance leads to the following relation for the inclusive[^2] differential cross section in global dilepton quantities $M$ (dilepton mass) and ${\bf q}$ (dilepton momentum) $$\label{global}
\frac{d^4\sigma^{e^+e^-}}{dM^2d^3q} =
{\cal T}(M^2)\
\left(\frac{d^3\sigma^{\gamma^*}}{d^3q}\right)_M$$ with the function ${\cal T}$ given by $$\label{tmsq}
{\cal T}(M^2) =
\frac{\alpha}{3\pi}\frac{1}{M^2}
\left(1+\frac{2\mu^2}{M^2}\right)
\sqrt{1-\frac{4\mu^2}{M^2}}\ ,$$ where $\alpha$ is the fine structure constant and $\mu$ the lepton mass. The rightmost quantity in Eq. (\[global\]) is called the cross section for virtual photon production. It does not have a direct physical meaning, as it is not experimentally accessible. Nevertheless, Eqs. (\[global\]) and (\[tmsq\]) can test the soundness of theoretical formulas, because they show the only two places in which the lepton mass $\mu$with the theoretical distribution from Sec. \[model\] serving as a reference. We summarize our main points and add a few comments in Sec. \[comments\]. Some related issues are discussed in the Appendices. In Appendix \[appmt\] we show how $M_T$-scaling transpires from the leading term virtual bremsstrahlung formalism. Appendix \[appsingvirt\] deals with the “exact" formula for the $\rho^0\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-
\gamma^*$ branching ratio. Appendix \[appleading\] addresses the issue of photon and dilepton event generators that conserve energy and momentum.

Dileptons from virtual bremsstrahlung off pseudoscalar mesons {#mesons}
=============================================================

In this section, we assume that all charged particles are pseudoscalar mesons. The technically more involved case of virtual bremsstrahlung from spin-one-half fermions will be treated in the next section.

Leading term approximation {#leading}
--------------------------

Let us consider a $2\rightarrow n$ hadronic reaction $$\label{reaction1}
a+b\rightarrow 1+2+\cdots+n$$ and denote its matrix element as


${\cal M}_0\equiv {\cal M}_0(p_a,p_b,p_1,\cdots,p_{n})$. Our aim is to find the matrix element ${\cal M}$ of the reaction $$\label{reaction2}
a+b\rightarrow 1+2+\cdots+n+l^++l^-,$$ in which a soft lepton pair with the four-momentum $q=p_++p_-$ is produced in addition to $n$ hadrons. The dominant contribution to the matrix element ${\cal M}$ comes from diagrams where the virtual photon is attached to one of the external legs (see Fig. \[me\]). The diagrams in which a virtual photon is radiated from internal lines give subleading contributions. This is caused by the nonvanishing virtuality contributions of the type $(p^2-m^2)$ to the denominators of newly emerging propagators. Such terms do not appear if one of the two particles attached to the electromagnetic vertex is real ($p^2=m^2$). See below.

Using the Feynman rules of pseudoscalar electrodynamics [@bjorken] we can immediately writedown the contribution to the matrix element ${\cal M}$ from radiation of an initial ($x=a,b$) $$\label{minitial}
{\cal M}_x=-eQ_x{\cal M}_0\ \frac{(2p_x-q)^\mu}
{2\,p_x\!\cdot\!q-M^2}L_\mu$$ and a final ($i=1,\cdots,n$) $$\label{mfinal}
{\cal M}_i=eQ_i{\cal M}_0\ \frac{(2p_i+q)^\mu}
{2\,p_i\!\cdot\!q+M^2}L_\mu$$ state particle. Above, $e$ is the positive elementary charge, $Q_x$ ($Q_i$) is the charge of an initial (a final) particle, and $M$ is the dilepton mass ($q^2=M^2$). As is customary in this field, we have supposed that the nonradiative matrix element does not change when an incoming or outgoing momentum becomes “slightly" off-mass-shell; for example, $$\label{offshell}
{\cal M}_0(p_a-q,p_b,p_1,\cdots,p_{n})=
{\cal M}_0(p_a,p_b,p_1,\cdots,p_{n})\equiv {\cal M}_0\ .$$ The lepton part is given by $$\label{leptonterm}
L_\mu=\frac{e}{M^2}\bar u^{(s_-)}(p_-)\gamma_\mu v^{(s_+)}(p_+)\ .$$ With this choice of $L_\mu$, the matrix element for photon production is obtained by the substitution $L_\mu\rightarrow\epsilon_\mu$, where $\epsilon$ is the photon polarization vector. Summing the contributions of individual diagrams,


we arrive at $$\label{msum}
{\cal M}=e{\cal M}_0\ J\!\cdot\!L$$ with $$\label{j}
J^\mu=-\sum_{x=a,b} Q_x\frac{(2p_x-q)^\mu}{2\,p_x\!\cdot\!q-M^2}+
      \sum_{i=1}^{n} Q_i\frac{(2p_i+q)^\mu}{2\,p_i\!\cdot\!q+M^2}\ .$$ The four-vector $J$ satisfies the important relation $$\label{jq}
J\!\cdot\!q=-Q_a-Q_b+\sum_{i=1}^{n} Q_i=0\ ,$$ which reflects charge conservation. Squaring the matrix element (\[msum\]) and summing over the spins of leptons, we get $$\label{summsq1}
\sum_{s_+,s_-}\left|{\cal M}\right|^2 = 4\pi\alpha\left|
{\cal M}_0\right|^2\ J^\mu J^\nu\ L_{\mu\nu}\ .$$ The tensor $L_{\mu\nu}$ is defined by $$\label{lmunudef}
L_{\mu\nu}=\sum_{s_+,s_-}\ L_\mu L_\nu^*\ .$$ A straightforward calculation leads to $$\label{lmunu}
L_{\mu\nu}=\frac{8\pi\alpha}{M^4}
\left(q_\mu q_\nu-l_\mu l_\nu-M^2 g_{\mu\nu}\right)\ ,$$ where we have introduced the four-vector $l=p_+-p_-$ as the difference of leptons’ momenta. Using the above relation we can rewrite (\[summsq1\]) in the form $$\label{summsq2}
\sum_{s_+,s_-}\left|{\cal M}\right|^2 = \left|{\cal M}_0\right|^2
\frac{32\pi\alpha^2}{M^2}\left[-J^2-\frac{1}{M^2}
\left(l\!\cdot\!J\right)^2
\right].$$ Inserting this into the relation for the unpolarized cross section of the reaction (\[reaction2\]) leads to $$\begin{aligned}
\label{xsec}
d\sigma & = &\frac{1}{4E_aE_b|{\bf v}_a-{\bf v}_b|}
\left|{\cal M}_0\right|^2
(2\pi)^4\delta(p_a+p_b-\sum_i p_i-q)

& &frame: $$\label{ruecklprime}
E^\prime_+E^\prime_-\frac{d^6\sigma^{e^+e^-}}{d^3p^\prime_+d^3
p^\prime_-}=\frac{\alpha}{2\pi^2}\frac{1}{M^2}
\left(\omega^\prime\frac{d^3\sigma^\gamma}{d^3q^\prime}
\right)_{{\bf q}^\prime={\bf p}^\prime_++{\bf p}^\prime_-}.$$ We have assumed for simplicity that the velocities of colliding particles are collinear and performed a boost along the collision axis (otherwise $\sigma$’s also acquire primes). The left-hand sides of Eqs. (\[rueckl\]) and (\[ruecklprime\]) are obviously equal. Relativistic covariance will thus be satisfied if and only if $$\label{covar}
\left(\omega\frac{d^3\sigma^\gamma}{d^3q}
\right)_{{\bf q}={\bf p}_++{\bf p}_-}=
\left(\omega^\prime\frac{d^3\sigma^\gamma}{d^3q^\prime}
\right)_{{\bf q}^\prime={\bf p}^\prime_++{\bf p}^\prime_-}.$$ But this condition cannot be fulfilled because in the new frame the photon momentum differs from the sum of lepton’s momenta. In fact, for the longitudinal components of the corresponding vectors we have $$\begin{aligned}
\label{longtrafo}
p^\prime_{\pm,L}&=&\gamma\left(p_{\pm,L}-\beta E_\pm\right)
\nonumber\\ q^\prime_L&=&\gamma\left(q_L-\beta \omega\right),\end{aligned}$$ which leads to $$\label{longmome}
q^\prime_L=p^\prime_{+,L}+p^\prime_{-,L}+\beta\gamma
\left(E_++E_--\omega\right)$$ with a nonvanishing extra term on the right-hand side.

In order to apply the global variable test, let us first use Eq. (\[page45\]) to cast the Rückl formula in the


form $$\label{mixrueckl}
E\ \frac{d^6\sigma^{e^+e^-}}{dM^2d^3q\ d\Omega_+^*} =
\frac{\alpha}{8\pi^2}\frac{1}{M^2}\sqrt{1-\frac{4\mu^2}{M^2}}\,\,
\omega\frac{d^3\sigma^\gamma}{d^3q}\ .$$ Integration over the positron momentum angles is simple because nothing depends on them: $$\label{globrueckl}
E\ \frac{d^4\sigma^{e^+e^-}}{dM^2d^3q} =
\frac{\alpha}{2\pi}\frac{1}{M^2}\sqrt{1-\frac{4\mu^2}{M^2}}\,\,
\omega\frac{d^3\sigma^\gamma}{d^3q}\ .$$ This formula does not obviously have the form required by Eq. (\[global\]). If we nevertheless extract from it the virtual photon cross section, which is defined by (\[global\]), we arrive at $$\label{virtrueckl}
\left(\frac{d^3\sigma^{\gamma^*}}{d^3q}\right)_M
=\frac{3\omega}{2\sqrt{\omega^2+M^2}}\frac{M^2}{M^2+2\mu^2}
\frac{d^3\sigma^{\gamma}}{d^3q}\ .$$ The $M\rightarrow 0$ limit of this expression is zero. If we are not so strict and require only $\mu\ll M\ll \omega$ (this is the situation met, e.g., in the low-mass, high-transverse-momentum dielectron production), we are left with another surprising relation $$\label{1.5rueckl}
\left(\frac{d^3\sigma^{\gamma^*}}{d^3q}\right)_M
=\frac{3}{2}\frac{d^3\sigma^{\gamma}}{d^3q}\ .$$ The presence of an incorrect numerical factor in the Rückl formalism was already noticed by Craigie [@craigie], who ascribed it to the unjustified omission of the term $l_\mu l_\nu$pion lines. Combining the resulting expressions for $\rho^0\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-$ and $\rho^0\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ decay widths from [@singer], we obtain the formula $$\begin{aligned}
\label{realsinger}
\frac{dB^\gamma}{d\omega^*}&=&
\frac{4\alpha}{\pi}\frac{1}
{\left(m_\rho^2-4m_\pi^2\right)^{3/2}}\frac{1}{\omega^*}
\biggl\{\omega_m^*\left(m_\rho^2-2m_\pi^2-2m_\rho\omega^*\right)
\ln\frac{1+\xi}{1-\xi}\biggr.\nonumber \\
& & \biggl. -m_\rho\xi
\left[\omega^*_m\left(m_\rho-2\omega^*\right)-2{\omega^*}^2\right]
\biggr\}\ ,\end{aligned}$$ where $\omega^*$ is the photon energy in the $\rho^0$ rest frame and $$\label{xi}
\xi=\sqrt\frac{2\left(\omega_m^*-\omega^*\right)}{m_\rho-2\omega^*}.$$ The maximum value of $\omega^*$ is $\omega_m^*=(m_\rho^2-4m_\pi^2)/(2m_\rho)$.

After integrating Eq. (\[realsinger\]) over photon energies greater than 50 MeV we get the branching ratio of 1.12 %, in nice agreement with the experimental value $(0.99\pm0.16)$ % [@dolinsky]. Also, the distribution in photon energies (depicted in Fig. \[realgam\] by solid curve) agrees remarkably well with experiment [@vasserman].

Decay [$\rho^0\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-e^+e^-$]{}
----------------------------------------------

As has already been stressed, in order to know the differential decay width in global dilepton variables of the decay (\[rhotoee\]), it is sufficient to calculate the differential decay width for $\rho^0\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\gamma^*$ with a massive photon. As was

Baker said the company has contacted Peter German, who was appointed by Eby to conduct a review of the lottery corporation's policies and practices to prevent money laundering.

"Great Canadian is proud of its culture of integrity and positive interaction with our regulators and Crown partners and will adopt any changes or improvements to the regulatory structure that result from the review."

'Currency may be the direct proceeds of crime'

Eby said he thought a July 2016 report commissioned by the province's previous Liberal government should havebeen made public when it was completed. The report done by the accounting and consulting firm MNP compiled documents from B.C.'s Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch.

It says single cash buy-ins in excess of $500,000 with no known source of funds were accepted at River Rock.

"Law enforcement intelligence has indicated that this currency may be the direct proceeds of crime," the report says.

The report makes more than a dozen recommendations, including implementing policies that casinos refuse unsourced cash deposits exceeding an established dollar amount, that anti-money laundering training programs are evaluated and that casinos work to support cash-alternatives.

A B.C. Lottery Corp. document in response said many recommendations in the report have been addressed though it was awaiting more direction from the Gaming Policy Enforcement Branch on dealing with and


Introduction
============

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are composed of two or more fused aromatic rings.[@i2156-9614-8-19-180915-b1] These macrocyclic compounds are ubiquitous environmental pollutants of both natural and anthropogenic origin, coexisting generally in areas of oil fields and gas factories. Air, soil, water and vegetation all act as environmental sinks for PAHs. Their widespread occurrence in the environment, level of recalcitrance to biodegradation, bioaccumulation potential and carcinogenic activity pose a serious concern to the health of aquatic life and humans.[@i2156-9614-8-19-180915-b2]

The concern for PAHs parallels that for its most common natural source - petroleum oil, an abundant and well-known hydrocarbon which ranks worldwide as the most valuable traded commodity for use to generate energy needed in industry.[@i2156-9614-8-19-180915-b3] In the Philippines, transportation of crude oil and petroleum by oil tankers is a lifeline, asthe country depends largely on imports for its energy needs. A single accident may result in the spill of crude oil or petroleum products that can cause massive damage to the marine environment and nearby-to-distant coastal areas, affecting human and animal life. The hazards associated with PAHs and similar hydrocarbons require effective remediation strategy. However, conventional microbiological treatment processes do not function well at a high salt concentration.[@i2156-9614-8-19-180915-b4] Several studies suggest that halophilic bacteria may have greater potential to degrade hydrocarbons, PAHs included, especially in marine sediments.[@i2156-9614-8-19-180915-b4]

Halophilic bacteria and archaea are unique prokaryotes able to withstand very high salt concentrations known in hypersaline environments. Vast areas on the planet are hypersaline, exposed to contamination with hydrocarbons, but are among the least studied extreme environments.[@i2156-9614-8-19-180915-b8] Hypersalinity is typical of


to partially identify the isolates up to at least the generic level.[@i2156-9614-8-19-180915-b21]

For identification at the species level, molecular analysis (16S) was performed with the use of Wizard^®^ Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega), following the manufacturer\'s instructions. Amplification of the 16S rRNA region of the isolates by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed with primers 27F (5\'-AGA GTT TGA TCM TGG CTC AG-3\') and 1492R (5\'-TAC GGY TAC CTT GTT ACG ACT T-3\'). The purified DNA samples and the primers were sent to Macrogen (Seoul, Korea) for sequencing. Sequences of isolated halophilic bacteria and type strains obtained from NCBI GenBank were uploaded to the TrEase webserver for multiple sequence alignment using multiple alignment using fast Fourier transform (MAFFT).[@i2156-9614-8-19-180915-b22] A neighbor joining tree was generated using the MEGA software versionoutput space) before each call.

A Walk Through the Life of Benedict XVI

Christmas Lists, Teddy Bears, and Miracles Have What in Common? Joseph Ratzinger … Recent Pilgrimage Retraces His Life From Birth to Present

By: Deborah Castellano Lubov

Ever wanted to have a better idea about what teddy bears, Christmas lists, and miracles meant to young Joseph Ratzinger? And if not before, are you curious now?

Special moments in the early life of Pope Benedict were the discoveries to find on an ‘Inside the Vatican’-run pilgrimage this summer that retraced the life of Benedict XVI throughout Bavaria and Rome, guided by well-known historian Michael Hesemann, the co-author with Georg Ratzinger of “My Brother, the Pope.”

Some of the meaningful places this intimate spiritual pilgrimage included were: the charming little town of Marktl am Inn, where little Josephan astrophysicist and geoscientist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), he explained, “is totally anti-science, and is harming science.” Emphasizing the massive role played by the sun in the Earth's incomprehensibly complex climate system, Soon narrowed in on one particular claim in the IPCC report on the issue that he said made a complete mockery of science. “The IPCC is pure gangster science,” he explained. Speaking to The New American after his presentation, Soon said the vicious attacks against his character and family by global-warming alarmists had only motivated him to work harder. Rather than launching personal attacks, he said, critics should instead focus on the data and his conclusions published in the peer-reviewed literature.

of an exemption in the farm under bankruptcy law. The Ladd decision is
distinguishable because that case concerned the debtors’ claim of a state homestead

since the Debtor’s first attempt to claim it as exempt. We also note that even though

Q:

What's a good way of *temporarily* sorting a vector?

I've got a std::vector which I need to sort by selected algorithms for certain operations, but to maintain its original state (e.g. items ordered by when they were entered) the rest of the time.
Obviously I can use std::copy to create a temporary vector and sort that, but I'm wondering if there's a better way, possibly by timestamping the items entered.
Cheers

A:

You could create a std::vector that holds all the indexes of the first vector. You could then sort the index-vector as you like. This should be fast and most importantly, doesn't mean you have to copy the first vector (which is probably more costly!).

A:

If you don't mind a little bit of Boost you can use the MultiIndex library. See this answerwith a 5-min time frequency from an autoregressive moving average model with either Gaussian or Chi-squared innovation distribution and 2) a real case study, in which experimental data consist of wind speed measurements with a time step of 1 h. Comparisons are given with a crisp (single-valued) approach. The results show that the crisp approach is less reliable than the interval-valued input approach in terms of capturing the variability in input.

RESTANI, Judge:

      Defendants-Appellants Yuri Izurieta and Anneri Izurieta appeal their

convictions and sentencing for a conspiracy to unlawfully import goods into the

United States in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 545 and 18 U.S.C. § 371. For the

following reasons, we vacate the convictions of both of the Izurietas.

                      both.

18 U.S.C. § 545 (emphasis and footnote added).

       Recently, the Ninth Circuit in United States v. Alghazouli adopted a relatively

narrow interpretation of the statute. 517 F.3d 1179, 1187 (9th Cir. 2008). The

court decided that regulations are included within the definition of Alaw@ for

purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 545 only Aif there is a statute (a >law=) that specifies that

violation of that regulation is a crime.@ Id. (ultimately finding that violation of the

charged regulation was criminalized under a section of the Clean Air Act); see also

United States v. Lawson, 377 F. App=x 712, 716 (9th Cir. 2010) (finding a violation

of regulations related to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered

Species punishable under 18 U.S.C. § 545 because violation of the regulations was


 By contrast, the Fourth Circuit has adopted a more expansive reading of 18

U.S.C. § 545. See United States v. Mitchell, 39 F.3d 465 (4th Cir. 1994). The

Fourth Circuit began its analysis in Mitchell with the proposition that A[i]t has been

established in a variety of contexts that properly promulgated, substantive agency

regulations have the >force and effect of law.=@ Id. at 468 (citing Chrysler Corp. v.

Brown, 441 U.S. 281, 295B96 (1979)). After reviewing the legislative history of

the section, the court determined that 18 U.S.C. § 545 criminalizes importation in

violation of any regulation Ahaving the force and effect of law.@ Id. at 470.

       In classifying the regulation at issue in that case as one having the force and

effect of law, the court adopted a[18 U.S.C. § 545] is limited to laws for the

violation of which a penalty is imposed.@). The court also concludes that in some

cases this approach may reflect the likely intent of Congress in light of the pervasive

nature of administrative law, which the Supreme Court has often recognized as the

full equivalent of statutory law, absent evidence of congressional intent to the

contrary. See, e.g., Howard, 352 U.S. at 216. We are not persuaded by the Ninth

Circuit=s reasoning resulting in complete rejection of regulatory law absent a

coordinate criminal statute. The Ninth Circuit=s approach is principally based,

          In applying its test, the court clarified that under the third prong regulations promulgated

unconvincingly, on a statutory reading of 18 U.S.C. § 545 comparing its language

with 18 U.S.C. § 554, a statute enacted decades after 18 U.S.C. § 545. Further, we

 Local Music Legend Celebrates 42 Years of Business in Montpelier

Montpelier enjoys a unique and historic downtown, very much in part because of stores such as Buch Spieler Music. In 1973, Fred Wilber, who at that time was a senior at Goddard College, and his best friend from high school, George Martin, opened Buch Spieler in a single store front on Langdon Street with an initial investment of $3,000. Wilber is a counter-culturist at heart with a passion for music that has taken him, and his dream, through many twists and turns.

Wilber’s affection for his store is apparent when he recalls the early days of sleeping in the back of the store, building the fixtures and record


lighting himself).

The passion for vinyl records lives on, as Wilber has recently expanded the vinyl collection by bringing in a consignment partner from upstate New York who has more than doubled the inventory at Buch Spieler. They are always looking to buy, sell, and trade vinyl records.

Since March of 2010, Buch Spieler has shared space with The GetUp Vintage, a vintage clothing and accessories store owned by Jeff Thomson and Hanna Bean. According to Thomson, they specialize in merchandise that is at least 20 years old, items in good condition from the 1940s through the 1960s. They carry a surprising amount of men’s clothing, but also have women’s clothing, shoes, hats and jewelry. They are always buying from people who bring in items, or they will visit homesA certain scene comes to mind when one thinks about being single on
Valentine’s Day. The young woman lies on her couch watching a rom-com,
eating Valentine’s chocolates she bought for herself and sobbing. "I'll
never find love," she cries miserably, "And I'm nothing without
it!" Right? Wrong! While relationships can provide much-needed
companionship, they can also be emotionally draining and time-consuming with
the wrong partner. But here's the deal: you don't need a partner to be happy!
Understanding the downsides of relationships, learning how to find support
elsewhere, and discovering how to be happy on your own will help you be
satisfied and self-assured without a partner.

While it’s true relationships can bring those involved much happiness,
if one is too eager to find a partner, the resulting relationship may be
strained and taxing. If the partners aren’t as

regained, loneliness and longing are common themes. But confidence in separation
is possible! It’s important to remember friends will always be there for
support, and any discontent should be discussed with them. Going out with
friends also help to ease heartache. But it’s also important to learn how to be
happy alone. Learning to entertain oneself is a difficult skill for many to
master, but the internet has made it easier than ever. However, it’s crucial to
make sure that the activities are productive and not a waste of time, and while
social media is a great tool for procrastination, it isn’t very worthwhile and
can sometimes add to feelings of loneliness. Books are an entertaining and
educational option. Alternatively, taking up a new hobby, such as cooking or
writing, will burn daylight while also being informational.

He believes the only way for medical consumers to make intelligent choices is to be informed of known potential risks as well as the promised benefits of any medical intervention, including HPV vaccines.

He believes the process of discovering mechanisms of action associated with serious adverse events after HPV vaccinations will be expedited if the medical/scientific community is aware of any new research in that arena.

He believes that discovering the mechanisms of action as quickly as possible will enable researchers to better define biological plausibility and causation, thereby allowing medical professionals to help those most susceptible to serious reactions avoid unnecessary risks.

He believes open discussion and honest debate may help restore the public’s faith in science.

Therefore, in the interest of public health and safety, Dr.


Event-related potentials to point-light displays of human actions in five-month-old infants.
Five-month-old infants viewed point-light displays depicting the human actions of walking, kicking, throwing, and running. These actions were presented as upright canonical displays and spatially scrambled displays in which the global form of the action was disrupted. Significant differences were observed between event-related potential (ERP) waveforms to the canonical and scrambled displays at mid-parietal, lateral parietal, temporal, and occipital electrode sites. These differences were clearest at lateral parietal electrode sites (P7 and P8) where the scrambled stimuli elicited a more positive waveform than the canonical stimuli. The findings represent initial neurophysiological evidence that infants in the first half year of life are sensitive to disruptions in the human form, and provide a basis for further work on the    event :disable do

    being too rash or optimistic. However the boom lead to an increase in investment, which after 2002 resembled the euphoria stage. There was a host of reckless gambles by ponzi investors. The Minsky Moment occurred in late 2008 and we are currently in the recession stage.

A look at American stock market history supports Minsky’s claim that it was a cycle. The market peaked in 1929 after much mania and euphoria before leading to a depression. Lending was tight until the boom of the 50’s and 60’s and the market reached 1929 levels (adjusted for inflation) in 1954 before peaking soon after in 1966. The market bottomed out before booming in the 80’ and crashing in 1987. The actions of the Fed on that occasion postponed a recession by
