Processing fiction vs. what really happened

I’m a very critical, analytical thinker. I always want to know what’s actually happening. I tend to understand religious texts this way.

But I once spoke to a friend, an English major, who said that religious texts—especially the Bible—need to be understood as pieces of literature, and not just as historical records or religious instructions. Otherwise, the Bible’s counter-intuitive organization, non-linear narrative and liberal use of allegory can seem to undermine it’s authority. Unless we are willing to grant an author a degree of creative license, we risk missing his or her point.

I took this perspective to heart. It opened up for me worlds I never knew existed—worlds full of truths not always expressible succinctly or via formulaic descriptors. But it also raised an“real” a character to me than Sherlock Holmes?

I tried to express this to my friend—the same one from above. He didn’t get it. George Washington was real, Sherlock Holmes was not. Simple as that, he said.

But what I’m getting at is something more fundamental. That is, we only know about George Washington what we’ve read about him, and we can’t ever be totally sure what we read actually happened. Sure, most of it probably happened, but I’ve definitely read some stories that I either doubt actually happened, or found out later to be mere legend. Even the stuff that probably did happen, I only know about from books and historical interpretations, which I know are necessarily less-than-perfect accounts. On top of that, I’m never fully aware of the

However, over time and with the introduction of the French and their occupancy of Croatian high court, nobles began to view the poor as an inferior subset of people that were to remain voiceless and devout to their King. It was through this mechanism, the nobility, that the wealthier caste of people advocated for one of the first iterations of monarchical absolutism, and required unquestioning loyalty and understanding from their subjects. With a tightened grip on the commoners, many nobles' personal agendas were issued through the people with land, statues, and buildings being commissioned under their name. The poor were via

Moreover, the mode-integrated spectrum shows two broad maxima which are explained from "shearlike" or "compressionlike" modes. From this analysis, the transition from finite number to crystal-like properties is observed to occur around N=12 particles. Finally, a model to visualize the transition from normal mode oscillations to wave dispersions in a 2D lattice has been proposed.the Bankruptcy Court lacks the power to "hear and determine" the claims based on Va.Code § 55-81. The Defendants argued that these state law claims are not "core proceedings" [as defined by 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)] "arising under title 11" or "arising in a case under title 11", but are proceedings that are merely "otherwise related to a case under title 11." In the motion, the Defendants also contended that their right to a jury trial would be abridged if this Court refused to withdraw the reference because the Bankruptcy Court is prohibited from conducting jury trials based on In re Proehl, 36 B.R. 86 (W.D.Va.1984).
The Trustee did not oppose the Defendants' motion at this time, and on July 2, 1985, this Court granted the Defendants' motion to


Bankruptcy Court on January 8, 1985 against Commerce Security Corporation, a Virginia corporation, and its President, Vivian S. Brandon. Vivian S. Brandon subsequently brought in as Third-Party Defendants her son, James M. Brandon, one of the principal Defendants in Huffman v. Brandon discussed above, and his secretary, Mary Eddy. In his Amended Complaint (dated February 7, 1985), Huffman requested the Bankruptcy Court to award judgment in the amount of $213,930 pursuant to Va. Code § 55-81 ("voluntary gifts, etc., void as to prior creditors") and Va.Code § 55-82 ("creditors suits to avoid such gifts, etc.") in Counts I through VI, and pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 547 ("preferences") and 11 U.S.C. § 548 ("fraudulent transfers and obligations") in Count VI.
*322 On June 12, 1985, Defendants Commerce Security Corporationsame reasons stated above in Huffman v. Brandon.

III. Discussion

Two issues are involved in these adversary proceedings: (1) the scope of the Bankruptcy Court's power to hear and determine bankruptcy proceedings (jurisdiction), and (2) the scope of the right to a jury trial (in Bankruptcy Court and in District Court) in bankruptcy proceedings. I shall address them in this order. The first issue involves an interpretation of the Bankruptcy Amendments and Federal Judgeship Act of 1984. The 1984 Amendments became effective on July 10, 1984 and apply to all cases then pending, with the exception of the provisions relating to mandatory abstention, 28 U.S.C. § 1334(c)(2), and the right to a jury trial, 28 U.S.C. § 1411(a).

A. Jurisdiction

Under 28 U.S.C. § 157(a) of the 1984 Amendments, the United States


("proceedings to determine, avoid or recover preferences"); section 157(b)(2)(H) ("proceedings to determine, avoid or recover fraudulent conveyances"); and section 157(b)(2)(O) ("other proceedings affecting the liquidation of the assets of the estate or the adjustment of the debtor-creditor or the equity security holder relationship, except personal injury tort or wrongful death claims").
In Counts I and III of Huffman's Complaint against Defendants Brandon, et al, Huffman requests the Court to set aside the Debtor's alleged transfer of funds and gold coins pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 543 ("turnover of property by a custodian"), 11 U.S.C. § 547 ("preferences"), and 11 U.S.C. § 548 ("fraudulent transfers and obligations"). In Count VI of Huffman's Complaint against Defendants Commerce Security Corporation, et al, Huffman requests the Court to award judgment pursuant to 111318 n. 15 (4th Cir.1983). Justice Burger stated in Marathon that:
[T]he Court's holding is limited to the proposition . . . that a `traditional' state *324 common-law action, not made subject to a federal rule of decision, and related only peripherally to an adjudication of bankruptcy under federal law, must, absent the consent of the litigants, be heard by an `Art. III court' if it is to be heard by any court or agency of the United States.
Marathon, 458 U.S. at 92, 102 S.Ct. at 2882 (dissenting opinion of Burger, C.J.).
A subsequent Supreme Court decision has confirmed that Justice Burger's narrow interpretation of the Court's judgment in Marathon is the correct one. See Thomas v. Union Carbide Agricultural Products Co., ___ U.S. ___, 105 S.Ct. 3325, 3334-35, 87

With the first couple days of the offseason under wraps, we are officially into the thick of trade rumor season. First up? The defending American League champion Kansas City Royals, who may be willing to move Alex Gordon, Eric Hosmer, and Mike Moustakas. Given that Hosmer and Moustakas were worth a combined 1.1 WAR in 2014, Gordon is the prize here. Can the Tigers get him?

Who is he?

Once the next comingof George Brett, Gordon has settled into his current role as one of the best all-around outfielders in baseball. Gordon was originally drafted as a third baseman in 2005. He made his MLB debut in 2007, when he compiled 2.0 WAR in 151 games. After another solid season in 2008, he missed a lot of the 2009 and 2010 seasons with injuries before transitioning to the outfield. He was worth a career-high 6.6 WAR in 2014 after hitting .266/.351/.432 with 19 home runs and 74 RBI. Gordon will be 31 years old on Opening Day in 2015.

Why should we care?

Every year, a rumor circulates that the Royals are interested in trading Alex Gordon. It may be slightly more likely to happen this year as the team retools after losing James Shields and paying several arbitration raises, but the Tigers probably don't have the prospects to make this happen. The Royals would not be too keen on trading Gordon within the division, either.

The Washington Nationals filled out their primary TV broadcasting crew yesterday by hiring Ron Darling, a 13-year big league pitcher and former broadcaster for ESPN, Fox Sports Net and College Sports Television, as game analyst.

Darling, 44, joins former Baltimore Orioles and Washington Bullets play-by-play man Mel Proctor. The pair will debut today on WDCA-TV (Channel 20) for the Nationals’ season opener in Philadelphia. The hires were made by Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN), the new regional network controlled by the Orioles that will show both clubs, with input from Nationals president Tony Tavares.

Darling, after a number of freelance and guest broadcasting slots, will have his first full-time job in the business. Like Proctor, Darling also has several acting credits

can be used as a tool for finding the maximum likelihood (e.g. Markov Chain Monte Carlo, MCMC henceforth) has long been made use of in astrophysics. It has been applied to the 21 cm signal by [@Pober14] to derive confidence contours, while not explicitly used in the search for the maximum likelihood of parameter values. Another widely used method is Bayesian inference, again making use of MCMC. It typically requires many instances of forward modelling, and can also be used to provide confidence contours. In the context of the 21 cm signal, Bayesian inference has been applied using semi-numerical codes as the model [namely 21cmFast, see @Greig15; @Greig17; @Greig18], or, to speed up the process, using emulators based on Gaussian Processes [@Kern17], or neural networks [@Schmit18]. Finally, parameter predictions (withoutrequires many repetitions of observable prediction (for a choice of model). At present it is computationally infeasible to run a full-numerical simulation this many times. For this reason, we have used a semi-numerical model instead: 21cmFAST[^2] [@Mesinger07; @Mesinger11] provides the required speed and efficiency.

Parameter Space {#Explored Parameters}
---------------

Our chosen parameter space consists of three parameters that have been explored previously by other authors [e.g. @Greig15; @Greig17; @Greig18; @Schmit18]. These parameters are:

-   $\zeta$, the ionizing efficiency of high-z galaxies: $$\zeta = 30 \left(\frac{f_{esc}}{0.3}\right)\left(\frac{f_\star}{0.05}\right)\left(\frac{N_\gamma}{4000}\right)\left(\frac{2}{1+n_{rec}}\right)$$ where $f_{esc}$ is the ionizing photon escape fraction, $f_\star$ is the fraction of galactic gas in stars, $N_\gamma$ is the number of ionizing photons produced per baryon in stars, and $n_{rec}$ is the typical number of times a hydrogen atom recombines during the EoR.

for the other coefficients. This scheme can be thought of as similar to computing a derivative with a centred scheme. Because of this choice, we do not compute the metric at points located on the faces of our parallelepiped domain. The accuracy of this finite diference estimation obviously depends on our fiducial sampling being dense enough so as to prevent the metric from experiencing high variation between any two neighbouring points.

### Link with the Fisher information metric

If we include the contributions of sample variance and thermal noise, the model for computing a power spectrum for a given set of parameter values can be viewed as a stochastic process. Then the distribution $f$ of possible power spectra binned at wavenumbers $k_i$ and redshifts $z_j$ is:

$$f\left(\,P_N, \vec{\theta}\right)\sim \prod_{k_i,z_j} \exp \left[cost function defined as the average of the individual cost functions $C_j$ for all samples that fall within some intervals centred on $T_{\mathrm{vir}}$ and $\zeta$. Note that, as the power spectrum is less sensitive to $R_{\mathrm{mfp}}$, we accept all possible values in the partial cost function. Then we define $R_{T_{\mathrm{vir}},\zeta}$ as the ratio of partial cost functions for an optimized sampling and for the fiducial logarithmic sampling. Figure \[fig:NeuralNetworkPerformance\] (a) shows a map of this ratio of the averaged-eingenvector sampling, while Figure \[fig:NeuralNetworkPerformance\] (b) shows the analagous map for the adaptive sampling. Partial cost functions defined equivalently for a single parameter (thus averaged over all possible values of the other two) are also plotted. We can see the the overall gain from optimizing the sampling is small, about


with an informed choice of sampling of the parameter space generally improves the accuracy of the resulting neural network. However, the gain is negatively effected when including a parameter weakly correlated with the inputs ($R_{\mathrm{mfp}}$ in our case), or when predicting parameters near the boundary of the studied parameter space region. As a final caveat, the results presented here have been averaged over $300$ trainings for each type of training samples, as the random initialization of the network weights (a standard practice in neural network training) generates a ‘noise’ in the results comparable to the improvement brought by optimizing the sampling. Thus, optimizing the neural network itself (architecture, error minimization algorithm, regularization, cost function, activation function, etc...) should be carried out first.

  Type of sampling  a sampling of the parameter space that maps onto a homogeneous and isotropic sampling in the space of observables. This requires computing a metric that is similar to the Fisher information metric. Computing the average eigenvectors and eigenvalues associated with this metric, we constructed new step vectors along which to generate a new sampling. This is equivalent to reorienting the grid through rotating and stretching the axes of the parameter space. This technique has been shown to improve the isotropy and homogeneity of the resulting sampling, however some regions of the space of observables still remain in which the observables vary more rapidly than elsewhere.

To remedy this, a second algorithm has been created that, through a relaxation process starting from a random sampling and using the local metric


Reviews

Joana Serrat is a prolific Spanish singer-songwriter with a long lasting love of American Roots and Country Rock music. ‘Dripping Springs’ is Joana’s fourth album in five years and she travelled from her home in Vic, Barcelona to the Texas Hill Country, just outside Austin, and Israel Nash’s Plum Creek Sound studio. For the recording, Israel Nash and Joana conscripted a marvellous group of musicians steeped in modern Americana, but unfortunately, they number far too many to mention here. The album was engineered by Grammy Award winning Ted Young and produced by Israel Nash.

‘Western Cold Wind’ rolls in grandly in full band mode before Joana’s voice enters all sweetness and hints of husk. She has a lovely voice but it is difficult to define and the nearest referencepoints I could to get were something of the Irish tones of Sinead O’Connor and at other times, the pure pop sensibility of Leona Lewis! This opening track also works very well as an introduction to the albums sound as Joana’s vocal drops out at around two minutes and the band plays through gloriously for the remaining two minutes until fade out. Track two ‘Lost Battles’ starts in more obviously Country fashion featuring what sounds like lap steel and acoustic guitar whilst ‘Trapped In The Fog’ has a slightly more ‘bar room band’ feel. ‘Unnamed’ is my favourite song on the album, quite sparse in sound initially with an almost U2 ‘Joshua Tree’ era type vibe that builds, pushes and pulls with Joana’s vocal again dropping out early

not largely varied upon addition of NQO1, the changes observed are likely to occur in the environment of aromatic residues (Trp and Tyr) and the secondary structure of NQO1. Regarding SAMp73, Gly513 showed the largest changes in CSP (0.03) ([Figure S7](#S1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}), while most of the affected cross-peaks showed broadening changes suggesting intermedium-slow kinetics for complex formation (within the NMR time scale), consistent with a low affinity interaction. Although the changes in chemical shifts observed were small, similar variations in chemical shifts have been observed in other systems[@b39]. These results support that the interaction between NQO1 WT and SAMp73 is not strictly dependent on the presence of NADH, but instead, NADH binding and reduction of FAD might facilitate complex formation.

The interaction of p.P187S and Δ50-WT with SAMp73 caused similar       }

We're adding a vector to an array of vectors. No branching, no touching
objects we don't care about, nothing extra.

Many ECS systems will allow you to filter down to the set of entities that
have two or more components at the same time. Obviously more expensive, but
still not as wasteful as checking every object or adding an update function to
run every tick on every relevant entity.

The above code was written just before bedtime and not against a real ECS
library or OO hierarchy, so please forgive any obvious errors.

> like treating your game state like a normalized database

This makes me curious, how bad would it be


to _actually store_ game state in
say, an in-memory sqlite database? I feel like this could get you some nice
things, like auto-destroying all components of an entity via foreign key
deletion, being able to merge/join entities with the intersection of multiple
components etc. Assuming the clunkiness of interacting with sqlite is
abstracted away, I wonder what the real performance differences would be.

Compared to iterating over an array of structs (or a struct of arrays if you
want to be fancy) it's probably multiple orders of magnitude slower.

And lets be honest, half of my performance problems in webapps are caused by
the overhead of sending a query, the database is rarely bottlenecked by
inserting or updating the data on the physical storage device if I do not use
bulk insert or bulk update methods.

I assume you mean1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to tools for making circles, and more particularly relates to compasses and ellipsographs for persons with manual limitations.
2. Background Information
In order to form circles or ellipses, a variety of tools have been developed. One of the most common types of tools is a pointed compass, which includes a first arm that extends from a point to a pivot. At this pivot, the first arm is connected to a second arm, which is typically connected to a scribing device such as a pencil or other marking device. These tools are typically utilized by placing the point at a pre-selected location, adjusting the scribing device a desired distance from the central pivot point, and twisting the scribing device about the central


from one location to another. What is also needed is a device that performs all of the above features and which is also cost effective to produce and which can thus be made commercially available to a wide variety of persons.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a safe, stable compass to persons of limited manual capability. It is a further object of the invention to provide a safe stable compass that can be easily transported from one location to another and can be manufactured in a cost effective manner so as to provide for access to said product by a variety of individuals.
Additional objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows andare identified which are used to prove the orthogonality of these polynomials. Generalized Hermite and Laguerre polynomials with prescribed symmetry are defined, and the commuting operators are used to define an eigenoperator which separates the eigenvalues and establishes orthogonality.

In Section 5 we begin by revising known commuting operators which decompose the operator (\[HTJE\]). Non-symmetric generalized Jacobi polynomials, and Jacobi polynomials with prescribed symmetry are defined as eigenfunctions of these operators, and orthogonality is established.

The final subsection of Section 2-5 is devoted to establishing a formula expressing a particular class of the polynomials with prescribed symmetry in a factored form involving the corresponding symmetric polynomials.

Eigenfunctions of $\tilde{H}^{(C,Ex)}$
======================================

Revision
--------

The operator $\tilde{H}^{(C,Ex)}$ allows a factorization in terms of so-called Cherednik operators $\hat{D}_j$ [@cher91a]. These operators are given in terms of the Dunkl


$(\rho,\mu)$ given by (\[PK\]) $$S_{(\rho,\mu)}(z,\alpha) = A_{(\rho,\mu)}
\prod_{\gamma=1}^p \prod_{1 \le j < k \le N_\gamma} (z_k^{(\gamma)} -
z_j^{(\gamma)}) J_{\rho}^{(p + \alpha)}(w_1,\dots,w_{N_0}),
\label{CON}$$ where $ A_{\rho\mu}$ is some normalization, provided $$\rho_1 \le {\rm min} (N_1,\dots,N_p)
\label{IN}$$ (A stronger conjecture was also given in [@forr96c; @forr96b] which replaces $\rho_1$ in (\[PK\]) by $\rho_1-1$, however we do not consider that extension here.)

This conjecture can be verified directly by showing that the r.h.s. of (\[CON\]) is an eigenfunction of (\[HCC\]) (an abbreviated version of the required calculation was given in [@forr96c], however the working there is incomplete and an erroneous conclusion was drawn). We begin by rewriting the variables $z_1,\dots,z_N$ in (\[HCC\]) as $\{w_j\}_{j=1,\dots,N_0}$ and $\{z_j^{(\gamma)} \}_{j=1,\dots,N_\gamma}$ $(\gamma = 1,\dots, p)$.

\label{REMA}\end{aligned}$$ Also, we remarked in a previous study [@forr96a] that $\tilde{H}^{(J,Ex)}$ has a complete set of symmetric polynomial eigenfunctions $G_\kappa^{(a,b)}(y;\alpha)$ (the generalized Jacobi polynomials) where $y=\sin^2 \phi = - (z+1/z-2)/4$.

To specify the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of (\[CJ\]), let $\eta$ be an $N$-tuple of non-negative integers as in (\[ETA\]), and define the partial order as below (\[ETA\]). Let $\epsilon$ be an $N$-tuple with each entry $+1$ or $-1$, and define $\epsilon \eta$ as the $N$-tuple formed from $\epsilon$ and $\eta$ by multiplication of the respective parts. A direct calculation shows $$\hat{D}_j^{(J)}


an operator equivalent to (\[PEJ\]) when restricted to acting on symmetric functions of $y$ is also constructed] that the generalized Jacobi polynomials $\{G_\kappa^{(a,b)}(y;\alpha)
\}$ are orthogonal with respect to the inner product (\[IPJ\]). Note that the operator (\[PONS\]) with $\hat{D}_j$ replaced by $(\hat{D}_j^{(J)})^2$ can be used to show that $\{ E_\eta^{(J)} \}$ is orthogonal with respect to (\[IPJ\]).

Generalized Jacobi polynomials with prescribed symmetry
-------------------------------------------------------

From the decomposition (5.2) and the fact that $(\hat{D}_j^{(J)})^2$ and $\tilde{H}^{(J,Ex)}$ both have unique polynomial eigenfunctions with leading term $y^\eta$, we conclude that $E_{\eta}^{(J)}$ can be specified as the eigenfunction of (\[HJC\]) with leading term $y^\eta$. To pursue this characterization, it is convenient to introduce the variable $y = \sin^2 \phi$ in (\[HJE\]) and repeat the computation of (\[HTJE\]). This gives $$\begin{aligned}
- \tilde{H}^{(J,Ex)} & = & \sum_{j=1}^Nwith $\hat{D}_j$ therein replaced by $(\hat{D}_j^{(J)})^2$. This operator is self-adjoint with respect to (\[IPJ\]) and separates the eigenvalues, so we conclude that $\{S_{(\rho, \mu)}^{(J)}\}$ is an orthogonal set with respect to the inner product (\[IPJ\]), with an appropriate change of variables (see ref. [@forr96a eq. 2.17]).

Some special generalized Jacobi polynomials with prescribed symmetry
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Here we want to establish the analogue of (\[CON\]) in the Jacobi case: $$S_\eta^{(J)}(y,\alpha) = A_{\eta}^{(J)} \prod_{\gamma = 1}^p
\prod_{1 \le j < k \le N_\gamma} (y_k^{(\gamma)} - y_j^{(\gamma)}) \,
G_\rho^{(u,v)}(x_1,\dots,x_{N_0};p+\alpha),
\label{CONJJ}$$ where $ A_{\eta}^{(J)}$ is some normalization, $\eta$ is given by (\[PK\]), $\rho_1$ satisfies (\[IN\]) and $$u := {\alpha \over \alpha + p} \Big ( {p \over \alpha} + a + 1 \Big ) - 1,
\qquad v:=  {\alpha \over \alpha + p} \Big ( {p \over \alpha} + b


(\[HCC\]), which are referred to as the non-symmetric Jack polynomials. In (\[EX2\]), (\[EX5\]), (\[SO2\]) we give operator formulas which transform the non-symmetric Jack polynomials to the non-symmetric polynomial eigenfunctions of (\[HTHE\])-(\[HTJE\]). The operators (\[HCC\]) and (\[HTHE\])-(\[HTJE\]) also admit bases of fully symmetric polynomial eigenfunctions, and polynomial eigenfunctions with a prescribed symmetry. We have established orthogonality of these sets of eigenfunctions with respect to inner products defined as multidimensional integrals, with the corresponding symmetric ground state wave function as the weight function. For the fully symmetric polynomials the orthogonality has previously been established, but for the polynomials with prescribed symmetry this result is new.

We expect the polynomials with prescribed symmetry to be relevant to the calculation of correlation functions in the Calogero-Sutherland model with spin (see e.g. ref. [@kk95] and references4184 Badger Adult Digital Camo Long-Sleeve Tee

This is Magi-Nation (2007-2010).
From Wikipedia:

Three thousand years ago in the Moonlands, the evil Shadow Magi Agram was sealed inside the planet's Core by the Core Glyph and the Dreamstones which provided its power. Now he plans to escape by using his Shadow Geysers to weaken his prison in order to bring the Moonlands under his control, and only a Magi known as the "Final Dreamer" can stop him. A young boy from Earth, Tony Jones, is summoned into the Moonlands as he is believed to be this Final Dreamer. He joins forces with the apprentice Magi, Edyn, and the Shadow Stalker, Strag, on a mission to gather the Dreamstones before Agram is set free. Using the Book of Elders, the three travel through the Moonlands while combattingcase, we have seen only one comment that actually questioned whether an article about our research was a true reflection of the science.

To a large degree then, either the reader accepts the story, propagating the misunderstanding of science and leading to potentially dangerous views (in this case, that people shouldn't be held responsible for their actions or that some people are biological no-hopers and destined to be an underclass), or the reader rejects the story and so continues the erosion of trust in science and scientists. Misunderstanding and mistrust then contribute to the consequences when a story such as MMR breaks, or in the case of climate change, where an overwhelming majority of scientists are simply not believed by a large proportion of the public.

If you compare some performance measure on your different data-sets pairwise to see if in any given pair there is a significant performance difference, then you need to correct the FWER for the number of pairs. This number is equal to $n \times (n-1)/2$ and thus an even more stringent correction than in the first case. This is comparable to post-hoc tests in an ANOVA.
A lot of people would just compare performance of the different transformations on one test set and choose the best one. As you haven't done any significance testing, you don't have to correct the FWER. But also know that you can be less sure if you have chosen the best transformation.

There are many ways to keep ourselves from forgetting simple but essential things. For instance, we use an alarm clock to help us wake up early and be on time for work; we use a bookmark to remind us where we are on a book we’re reading; we bring a grocery list to make our visit to the marketplace quick and easy - the list goes on. Well, this checklist we’re about to share with you may sound new, but it may help answer some of your questions about the essential conditions or factors regarding HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection.The crossword above contains words that are important for us to learn about HIV transmission. These simple terms, however, are not enough for us to understandblood, seminal fluid, vaginal fluid, rectal fluid, and breastmilk are the reported means of HIV transmission. Other body fluids like saliva, tears, sweat, or urine contain negligible traces of the virus, which are not enough to successfully transmit infection.

By knowing which body fluids have the sufficient amount of the virus, we now know which behaviors or incidents could expose us to HIV. For instance, unprotected penetrative anal sex exposes someone to semen, rectal fluid, or even blood if one gets a laceration. Simply put, having anal sex without a condom exposes a person to higher risks, especially if it is done with someone (a stranger or your current partner) with an unknown serostatus.

Survival and Entry

Viruses are infectious agents that can only replicate themselves inside the living cells of


other organisms. This is why HIV does not survive for long outside the human body. Conversely, this is the reason it is not possible to get infected with the virus by mere contact with infected body fluids. Our skin is our first line of defense from pathogens (disease-causing organisms). An intact skin and mucosa provide us optimum protection. However, cuts and/or wounds would limit the protection they provide.

In airtight syringes and needles, the absence of oxygen allows the virus to live longer. And during sex (particularly during penetration), there is an immediate contact between the fluids and the possible route of entry of the virus. This is a major factor why unprotected penetrative sex poses a high risk for HIV transmission.

Infection can be prevented if one engages inbetter informed. Let’s keep it simple: The thing to remember is to always evaluate our exposure to the virus by using the ESSE mnemonic. There is nothing wrong in seeking information by researching on our own, but we just have to make sure that the information comes from reliable sources. When in doubt, seek help from an HIV-specialized clinic or trained medical staff for proper guidance.

LoveYourself Uni and LoveYourself Anglo are open from Wednesdays to Sundays. Feel free to drop by any of our clinics. We provide safe and private spaces should you wish to get tested or need information on HIV.

Structure of the *cn*Cka1-AMPPNP-Mg^2+^ complex {#Sec4}
-----------------------------------------------

Full length *cn*Cka1 consists of 338 amino acids. Apart from residues 1--4 and residues 335--338, which are not visible in the electron density map, we have determined the near full-length crystal structure of *cn*Cka1 in complex with AMPPNP-Mg^2+^ (Fig. [1](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}). The structure was elucidated using crystals grown in the presence of 10 mM AMPPNP and 10 mM MgCl~2~. The AMPPNP molecule and the coordinating Mg^2+^ ion are located in the hydrophobic ATP-binding pocket as seen from the electrostatic potential map of the structure (Fig. [1b](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}). Figure [1d](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"} shows hydrophobic interactions between residues around


the catalytic site and the AMPPNP molecule. Hydrogen bonds are also formed between the backbones of Glu113 and Val115 with the adenine group of AMPPNP; the backbone of His159 with the ribose group of AMPPNP; Lys67 with the α- and β- phosphates of AMPPNP; Asp174 and Lys157 with the γ-phosphate of AMPPNP. In addition, the Mg^2+^ ion is coordinated by the *β*- and *γ*-phosphates of AMPPNP and Asp174. In general, due to the phosphate moieties of the AMPPNP molecule, more hydrophilic interactions are observed in the AMPPNP-Mg^2+^ bound structure (Fig. [1d](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}) as compared to the CX-4945 bound structure (Fig. [2d](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}).

Structure of the *cn*Cka1-CX-4945 complex {#Sec5}
-----------------------------------------

To gain an insight into the binding affinity between *cn*Cka1 and CX-4945 for the development of selective anti-fungal drugs, the near full-length structure of *cn*Cka1 inThus, AMPPNP hydrolysis did not occur and AMPPNP remains stably bound to the catalytic cleft (Supplementary Fig. [S2a](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}).

Structural deviations across species when AMPPNP is bound {#Sec7}
---------------------------------------------------------

Surprisingly, in contrast to the almost identical orientation of the AMPPNP molecule in the *cn*Cka1-AMPPNP-Mg^2+^ and *zm*CK2α-AMPPNP-Mg^2+^ (PDB code: **1LP4**) structures (Fig. [4a](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"}), we observed that the AMPPNP molecule is in a slightly different orientation in the *hs*CK2α-AMPPNP structure (PDB code: **2PVR**) (Supplementary Fig. [S2b](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). This is due to a difference in the position of the residues around the catalytic site, where the human structure slightly deviates from the fungal and maize structures. Therefore, this leads to a change in the interaction between the residues and the AMPPNP molecule, henceforth, causing a small deviation in the position of the AMPPNP molecule in the human complex structure.

Recently,


the structure of an inactive single mutant of the *P*. *falciparum* CK2α in complex with ATP (*pf*CK2α-ATP; PDB code: **5XVU**; 64% sequence identity with *cn*Cka1; Fig. [3](#Fig3){ref-type="fig"}) was determined by Ruiz-Carrillo *et al*. where they noted several structural deviations in the N-lobe as compared to the human orthologue structure^[@CR19]^. Subsequently, we superimposed the structures of *cn*Cka1-AMPPNP-Mg^2+^, *zm*CK2α-AMPPNP-Mg^2+^ (PDB code: **1LP4**) and *pf*CK2α-ATP (PDB code: **5XVU**) with *hs*CK2α-AMPPNP (PDB code: **2PVR**) and compared the region around the glycine-rich loop (Gly46-Ser51 in *hs*CK2α) where there is a shift between the βA and βB strands, the loop between βD and βE (residues 102--109 in *hs*CK2α) and the region around the αC helix (residues 70--79 in *hs*CK2α). In agreement with the paper, the N-lobe (residues 12--121 in *hs*CK2α) of the other orthologues alsodeviate significantly greater than the C-lobe (residues 131--329 in *hs*CK2α) in comparison with the human orthologue structure (Fig. [4b](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"}, Supplementary Table [S1](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). The root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) values of the N-lobe are as follows: 1.77 Å (*cn*Cka1-AMPPNP-Mg^2+^), 1.88 Å (1LP4) and 2.01 Å (5XVU), while the RMSD of the C-lobe are as follows: 0.98 Å (*cn*Cka1-AMPPNP-Mg^2+^), 0.95 Å (1LP4) and 1.16 Å (5XVU). Supplementary Table [S1](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"} also shows the RMSD values for the region around the glycine-rich loop, the loop between βD and βE, and the region around the αC helix. The dynamic architecture of the N-lobe along with the difference in RMSD values across the various species suggest that different CK2α inhibitors can be designed to target individual species specifically --- a property that none of the synthesised CK2α inhibitors has achieved so far, henceforth, making the


residue and by the βD and βF strands, resulting in a small back pocket with restricted accessibility^[@CR27]^. In contrast, the smaller side chains of small gatekeeper residues weaken the stabilisation of the R-spine^[@CR26]^, and allow the expansion of the back cavity towards the βE strand and the αC helix, making the back pocket large and accessible^[@CR27]^. Furthermore, because the back pocket is also a poorly conserved region at the catalytic cleft^[@CR27]^, this area of plasticity thus offers opportunities for researchers to modulate the affinity and selectivity of inhibitors. While most kinase inhibitors bind directly to the ATP-binding pocket and fall under type I class of inhibitors, on the contrary, type I½ and II inhibitors are more selective as they also target the back pocket and allosteric sites, respectively,purification procedure, size exclusion chromatography using the HiLoad™ 26/600 Superdex™ 200 pg column (GE Healthcare) was performed and the bound *cn*Cka1 protein was eluted with a buffer containing 300 mM NaCl and 20 mM HEPES--NaOH pH 7.5 (Supplementary Fig. [S3c](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). The resulting purified protein was then concentrated by ultrafiltration to 1 ml using an Amicon® Ultra-15 centrifugal filter and rebuffered to a concentration of 3 mg/ml for crystallisation trials. For surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis, the expression and purification procedures of the recombinant *cn*Cka1 and *hs*CK2α proteins are similar as described above. However, after the Ni-NTA affinity chromatography step, desalting and buffer exchange were carried out instead, using the HiPrep™ 26/10 Desalting column (GE Healthcare), and the proteins were eluted in the same buffer containing 300 mM NaCl and 20 mM HEPES--NaOH pH 7.5.

The authors declare print_longer_string(s1, s2)

You'll note I also shortened the variables down to s1 and s2. string1 is actually fine as a variable name if you prefer; I just find s1 a bit quicker to read through. You usually want meaningful variable names, but there's no semantic meaning to these variables to capture in the name since it's just two arbitrary strings, so s1 doesn't really lose anything over string1.
I also want to note that I considered separating out the printing from actually picking which string to print. I decided not to separate them because the case of equal lengths was handled differently. This fact greatly reduced any benefit we would get from separating the determination from the actual IO call. Separating them would require either having a function that

Shoulder training is so important for a raw bench in the off-season that it deserves its own day. At my facility, the second upper body day has turned into more of a bodybuilding day with an emphasis on shoulders instead of a standard speed bench day, which is what we used to do.

We still utilize speed work from time to time, but we do it on the main benching day instead. The rationale is that most people need to work on gaining muscle mass in the upper body before focusing on a speed day.

defense and elections have in the past two days signed an open letter to congressional leaders stating that they are “deeply troubled” by previous reports of foreign interference, and requesting swift action by lawmakers.

“Our country needs a thorough, public congressional investigation into the role that foreign powers played in the months leading up to November,” the academics said in their letter, while noting they did not mean to “question the outcome” of the election itself.

Senior legislators including Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland have already called for deeper inquiries into the full extent of Russia’s interference with the election campaign.

The child pornography industry is more prevalent than most of us can even fathom. In the case of Eric Marques, who ran a hosting service for numerous dark web child pornography and exploitation sites, an FBI investigation revealed that the hosting service housed more than 8.5 million photographs and videos of material involving the exploitation of children. U.S. Attorney Robert K. Hur remarked, “This is an egregious case where one individual facilitated the abuse of more than a million new child victims and attempted to keep the abuse hidden on the dark web.” An FBI agent on the case has dubbed Marques as, “the largest facilitator of child pornography on the planet.”

A 2016 National Child Exploitation Threat Assessment reported that the child pornography industry has

In this line, notice that input1 is set to the key “horizontal”; this references the previous effect.

Finally, we set output to the last effect in the chain.

output = "vertical",

This tells Corona that the output from the vertical blur pass is the final output. It’s important to note that each effect can operate on an input1 and input2 channel for more complex multi-textured / multi-pass effects. For the sake of simplicity, this example uses just input1.

Loading the New Effect

From main.lua, we can load the effect and apply it to a display object via the following code. The first line simply requires the module like any standard Lua module. The second line loads this effect into the graphics engine.

Accessing parameter values for each node in the shader is done2.0. Developers should, of course, understand potential performance implications of multi-pass effects. Also, please note this feature is still in beta and is subject to format/method changes.

Neither Katainen nor Ma Kai, the Chinese vice-prime minister he met, gave any indication on the amount of China's participation in the plan. Details should be settled before the end of the year.

"Europe has confidence in the Chinese economy and China has confidence in European economic recovery," Ma said.

Katainen and Ma agreed in addition to set up a joint working group aimed at developing cooperation on investment. The group will include experts from the EU Commission, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Silk Road Fund, a $40-billion fund established last year to support China's so-called Silk Road infrastructure plan across Asia.

Respect for All life

The first principle that appears to be the most crucial in Buddhist pedagogy is Respect for All Life. Buddhism emphasizes the notion that the only true foundation for all learning is respect for all life. According to this, a student can never become a good teacher, engineer, accountant, doctor, journalist, and so on, unless she or he has understood and begun regularly practicing “no-harm” and “loving-compassion” in terms of their behavior towards all living beings.

This approach to life in all the forms of activities is visible when Buddhist University campuses are explored. As soon as one begins to walk, there is a sense of having stepped into an environment which is different from that of most colleges and universities. Nottoward a student who easily earns high scores and the one who fails on some tests but is willing to improve.

Mindfulness accompanies all procedures taking place in Buddhist education. This is exemplified in the decision to take a heuristic approach to measuring students’ progress. Sometimes, students receive detailed letters from a professor (describing their progress and making recommendations for further improvement) as a sign that they have earned a sufficient grade; sometimes, students who excel in taking tests are assigned to work with the students who find it difficult to prepare for them, and they work together the entire semester until student-mentor and student-trainee create satisfactory results; sometimes, students conduct their own examinations and professors incorporate the grades given by the students into the final gradesad. According to


preparing, and serving their own food, which creates yet another vital connection between learning and practicing in the present moment instead of for some distant future. At DRBU, students grow the vegetables and fruit they later eat in the dining hall or take home to share with others. Here, students work in orchards and gardens so large that they provide nearly half of all the produce needed for the university’s annual consumption. Naropa students use a greenhouse located a few steps away from the cafeteria and, if they need more fresh food, they can use the agricultural space at the nearby University of Colorado.

Students continue learning and practicing professional and moral knowledge after classes are over. They continue being compassionate and respectful of all life because, in therandom garbage if

Iron overload and nitric oxide-derived oxidative stress following lung transplantation.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may contribute to airway injury and the development of the bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) following lung transplantation (LT). Chemically active iron released from ferritin stores and nitric oxide (NO)-derived radicals may add to the oxidative burden. We determined the concentrations of ferritin and the aqueous NO derivative nitrite (NO2(-)) within bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of 14 stable LT recipients (ST) and 7 subjects with BOS and 21 normal controls. We also assessed the relationship between BALF ferritin and hemosiderin-laden macrophages (HLMs) using a hemosiderin score (HS) and determined BALF albumin concentration as a marker of microvascular leakage. BALF ferritin concentrations and HSs were significantly elevated in LT recipients overall compared with normal controls (p <quotas….the oil barons were up in arms over threats to the oil depletion allowance, convinced that Nixon was not solidly enough in their corner.

After trial on January 4 and 5, 2002, and the consideration of applicable authorities, I make the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, in accordance with Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7052.

FINDINGS OF FACT
The parties entered into a lengthy stipulation of material facts which are not in dispute which are incorporated herein by reference (hereinafter referred to as "Stip. ____").
a. The Writings
In February and July of 1995 DAC as contractor hired GCG as subcontractor on two projects: Highway 341 in Glynn County, Georgia, and the Pooler Bypass in Chatham County, Georgia. (Ex. P-64, P-65). The Debtor, John Douglas


by Galbreath was to be personally responsible for all debts, notwithstanding the fact that the note was limited to $1.5 million. No written modification was ever entered into with regard to the $1.5 million note, and all advances which exceeded $1.5 million were based solely on the original subcontracts and the authority contained therein. No new consideration was given Galbreath on August 20 in exchange for the 1998 Note or on November 24 in exchange for the deeds to secure debt on the various parcels of property.
Galbreath acknowledged that his personal obligations to all creditors were higher in 1998 than in 1997 and were higher in August 1998 than in January 1998. Even excluding the obligation to DAC, he acknowledges that his personal liabilities were in fact higher. . was fully intelligible without parol evidence." Id. (emphases added); see also Beckworth v. Beckworth, 255 Ga. 241, 245, 336 S.E.2d 782, 786 (1985) ("[S]eparate memoranda will satisfy the statute where the papers contain the whole bargain and make such references to the other written papers as to enable the court to construe the whole of them together as containing all the terms of the bargain" (emphasis added)). Thus, notwithstanding the statute of frauds, where a subsequent writing or writings show that "the contract created orally was in fact made," and where a court can determine "all the terms of the bargain" from the subsequent writing or writings, an otherwise non-enforceable oral contract may be enforced.
Here, DAC urges that the 1998 Note is a subsequent writing by


the oral terms and the note terms are different in numerous material respects, the 1998 Note does not serve as a subsequent writing within the scope of the exception.

(3) Original undertaking exception
Finally, DAC invokes the "original undertaking" exception. To this end, DAC urges that Galbreath, as sole shareholder of GCG, was furthering his own interests in orally agreeing to be personally liable for GCG's debts and that DAC thus qualifies for the exception.
*205 Language in Georgia opinions defines certain parameters by which factfinders are authorized to apply the original undertaking exception. An "original undertaking" includes an undertaking by which the promisor becomes primarily liable, e.g. Scott Hudgens Realty & Mortgage v. Executive Action, Inc., 125 Ga.App. 81, 82, 186 S.E.2d 504, 505 (1971)("A promise to pay the debtundertaking.").
The parties in oral argument and in their briefs struggled, as has the Court, with determining whether the alleged oral agreement was within the statute of frauds because it was a promise to answer for the debt of another or whether it is outside the statute of frauds because it was an original undertaking of Galbreath. Much of the dispute centered around the issue of whether, in order for such an agreement to be binding, there must have been a substitution of Galbreath personally in the place of the corporation, GCG. DAC believes that substitution is not a prerequisite where advances are made following or concurrent with the promise. Trustee believes that substitution is an absolute requirement.
The leading modern case on which DAC relies is B.J. Howard Corp.


the debt of another is an original undertaking or a collateral one is a question of intent and whether the parties meant for the promisor to stand in the place of the third party.

*206 Id. at 180-81, 322 S.E.2d 306 (emphasis added) (internal citations and punctuation omitted) (finding sufficient evidence to support jury verdict holding individual controlling shareholder primarily liable for corporate debts of corporations controlled by same individual because creditor looked exclusively to individual for payment).
The Howard court's explanation of the distinction between the promise to pay the debt of another and an original undertaking is instructive. A collateral or secondary promise is within the statute, whereas an original undertaking whereby the promisor becomes primarily liable is not. Id. Further, whether a promise is an original undertakingor a collateral promise is a question of intent  whether the promisor and the promisee intended that the promisor stand in the place of the third party.
Courts finding original undertaking nearly always have gleaned the parties' intent in the light of a "common factual element . . . [either] the extension of credit . . . or a party otherwise changing his position, in reliance on the promise." Mgmt. Recruiters v. J & B Smith Co., 184 Ga.App. 662, 663, 362 S.E.2d 462 (1987). For example, in Lindsey v. Heard Oil Co., 170 Ga.App. 572, 317 S.E.2d 597 (1984), the corporation's credit had been terminated, and there was evidence that the credit had been extended solely on the basis of the individual owner's subsequent promise of payment.


186 S.E.2d 504.
Here, applying the "intent" requirement, I find that the parties did not intend Galbreath to become the party primarily liable for GCG's debts; rather, they intended Galbreath's promises to be collateral and "merely superadded" to GCG's liability. All indicia of the parties' intent make it clear that the advances were made to GCG and to GCG alone and that, at most, Galbreath intended to guarantee the debt if GCG failed to make payment. First, a fair reading of Spivey's and Galbreath's testimony makes it clear that at the time of their conversations, they both intended GCG to be the primary obligor. They testified that GCG had borrowed the money and that Galbreath guaranteed *207 GCG's debt.[14] In addition, all the checks that were delivered to apersonal liability for GCG's debts prior to executing the 1998 Note, he did not incur the obligation in order to satisfy or secure an antecedent personal debt. Because advances in excess of $1.5 million had already been made, it is also clear that Galbreath received no direct economic benefit when he signed the 1998 note. Therefore, the decisive issue is whether the transaction conferred an indirect economic benefit[15] upon Galbreath sufficient to preserve his net worth.
In Rodriguez, the Eleventh Circuit addressed the question of reasonably equivalent value in deciding a constructive fraud issue. The trustee sought to set aside certain monthly payments made by the corporate debtor Domino, a holding company, to its subsidiary's creditor, General Electric Credit Corporation ("GECC"), on a plane financed by GECC for the


to [GECC].
Murphy v. Gen. Elec. Cred.of Tenn. (In re Rodriguez), 77 B.R. 939, 941-42 (Bankr.S.D.Fla.1987). Affirming, the Eleventh Circuit held that, in order for the benefits to have conferred an economic benefit which constituted reasonably equivalent value to Domino, it had to be shown that Domino, the parent corporation, had shared in the enjoyment of the economic benefits enjoyed by its subsidiary. Rodriguez, 895 F.2d at 728. Because, absent piercing the corporate veil, a debtor is not responsible for the liabilities of its subsidiaries, Judge Edenfield ruled that Domino did not benefit from any reduction in the subsidiary's indebtedness. Id. at 728-29. Nor did Domino benefit economically from the use of the plane itself because the plane was used strictly by its sole shareholder. Id. at 728. Insigned the 1998 Note; indeed, he testified that DAC never promised him or his wife a job if he would personally sign the note. Therefore, the evidence shows that Galbreath received a salary and used the vehicles only after his employment by DAC began, an event which was not anticipated at the time the 1998 Note was executed.
Second, with respect to the payments made by DAC to GCG's creditors whose debts were guaranteed by Galbreath, the evidence shows that those payments were not made "in exchange for" Galbreath's executing the 1998 Note. The advances made by DAC during 1996 through 1998 went to pay GCG's obligations, some of which Galbreath had guaranteed, and some of which he had not guaranteed. Those payments, however, which totaled $1.783 million, had


already been made prior to August 20, 1998. Nothing further was paid at that point in time "in exchange" for Galbreath's signature.
Third, all advances  those made prior to August 20, 1998 as well as those made after that date  were made because DAC was obligated under its DOT contracts to ensure that all bills incurred by its subcontractors, including GCG, were paid in full and obligated DAC to pay if its subcontractors failed to do so.

A. Value
"Value," in this context, is "property, or satisfaction or securing of a present or antecedent debt of the debtor." § 548(d)(2)(A) (emphasis added).[22] I concluded above that there was no present or antecedent personal obligation to be secured or satisfied by Galbreath upon executing the 1998 Note. In order to satisfy the requirement for "value," therefore, DAC must have given Galbreath "property" in exchange for his transferring the security deeds. "Property" connotes economic value. As the preceding discussion illustrates, Galbreath


and Sunbelt Rentals, Inc. filed the involuntary petition.
[2]  Trustee's Complaint sets forth counts for both constructive and actual fraud. In order to simplify and shorten the length of court proceedings, and upon the suggestion of the parties that resolution of this portion of the case might expedite resolution of the remainder, the Court bifurcated the constructive fraud and actual fraud allegations. In this trial, the Court's consideration was limited to evidence with respect to issues of constructive fraud.
[3]  According to the DAC controller's testimony, on the date the $290,000.00 note was executed there remained an open account balance of $50,000.00. As credits were applied to the account, he applied receipts to the open account balances first, and only when they were "zeroed out" did any excessthan February 1998 and reflect Galbreath's acknowledgment of personal liability, prior to the date the $1.5 million note was executed in August, and are partially corroborative of Galbreath's and Spivey's testimony.
[6]  Galbreath acknowledged that by December of 1998 he was also personally obligated for approximately $394,000.00 on federal withholding obligations, although he stated there may have been some additional payments made there was no evidence to show any additional credits. This obligation had increased during the second half of 1998 by approximately $167,000.00.
[7]  The 1996 Note recited:

"The principal sum amount above is the entire amount owed . . ., consolidating and canceling all previous . . . amounts due from Borrower to Lender. . . . Payments shall be paid . . . until this note


that's what it is.
Q: All right. Then I said, "[W]ell, you personally had signed that note, though; hadn't you." And you said, "I probably did, but the company is the one that borrowed the money. I didn't borrow it personally."
Tr. 150-52. Galbreath also stated, "That's right, the company had borrowed the money and this is a personal financial statement," Tr. 154.
[13]  Language in Beckworth, which opinion was cited by DAC in support of applying the subsequent writing exception, at first glance appears to apply here:

The statute of frauds does not require that the contract with which it deals be created in writing, but requires only that there shall be written evidence signed by the party to be charged therewith, showing that the contract was made. . .of his alleged promises to DAC. In that case, he would already have been insolvent by virtue of pre-existing obligations to DAC at the time he executed the property transfers.
[22]  "[A]n unperformed promise to furnish support to the debtor or to a relative of the debtor" is excluded from the definition of "value." § 548(d)(2)(A).

Although substantial evidence exists for the activity-dependent release of VIP in the CNS, its effect on synaptic function is poorly described. Within the hippocampus, VIP is expressed exclusively in GABAergic interneurons, suggesting that GABA and VIP may inhibitor postsynaptic responses in concert. VIP stimulates the cAMP/PKA pathway via VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors. Moreover, GABAR beta subunits are substrates of PKA-mediated phosphorylation. Interestingly, our preliminary findings indicate that agents capable of increasing PKA-mediated phosphorylation, including VIP, can restore in vitro GABAR function in the hippocampal CA1 region of benzodiazepine tolerant rats. Using newly available VIP receptor antibodies we propose to describe the anatomical distribution of VPAC1 and VPAC2 in the hippocampus, their overlap with GABA receptors, and the cross-talk between VIP and GABA receptor proteins. We propose, that 1)can be achieved when working in conjunction with the talented and passionate people around you, and celebrating what they do.

On that note, we would like to thank our friends across Massachusetts and Rhode Island who have welcomed us with enthusiasm and ideas for our bright future together. This first night of baos was for you. Don’t worry if you missed it though, there’s much, much more where that came from!

Everything we have done for the better part of a year has come down to one hypothetical event: “When we begin making bao in America…” It’s what we have used to justify every trip, expense, sleepless night, and debate over whether a Lobster Bao would be possible (it is).

The Dream Team reunited!

Rosamond, Gerry, Jhonny, and I woke up on


a cold New England Monday morning and drove to Hope & Main to make history 100 grams of dough and seasoned pork at a time.

Jer (left) and I standing next to the most expensive water boiler you’ll ever see. trust me.

We were joined by the newest arrival to our team, Jeremiah Tracy! He’ll be putting his decades of restaurant experience to work as soon as he gets back from his training trip to China, which he embarked upon this Tuesday. luckily for Gerry, our new colleague goes by Jer.

Back to cataloging history in the making, We spent the first couple of hours perfecting the dough water content, and setting up our prototype equipment for use. First the steamer pilot light wouldn’t stay lit, then the sheeter wouldn’t turnable to see on the lake was Temple of King Qian. This compound was built during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) as a memorial to Qian Liu, first of the five Qian Kings who used Hangzhou as their capital.

In addition to being a gorgeous example of historical architecture, the Temple of the Qian Kings also had some more recent history about the descendants of the kings, where they lived, and what they have done over the past century. I was frankly more impressed that they managed to keep track of them than what they actually did. I am sure, like many historical sites in China, there were significant restoration efforts made in the late 20th century as international travel and tourism to China became more popular, but regardless,


lake, I noticed what a spectacle I had become to passersby. This part of the city had a fairly high concentration of westerners, and I was still getting more quizzical looks than back near the training facility. I’m not sure if it was the blonde hair, the crutch, or just the fact that people had their cameras with them, but I saw more people trying to stealthily take pictures of me, or asking to pose with me here than anywhere else. It wasn’t too bad pretending to be famous for a few hours.

Our wakeup call for Monday was scheduled at 4:00 AM, so after pushing through the crowds for a few hours, we decided to find a taxi and head back to the hotel for some dumplings andfor relief

Pennington.12 In Noerr Motors, a col-
 lective of truckers sued several railroad companies, alleg-
 ing that the railroads had violated the Sherman Act through
 an advertising campaign which was designed to destroy the
 trucking industry by influencing legislators and governors to
 only enact laws harmful to the trucking industry and damage
 its public image. The Supreme Court held that the Sherman
 Act did not apply to a private citizen’s conduct undertaken
 to influence government action, because the Sherman Act’s
 intended purpose was to regulate business, not political activi-
 ties.13 This was true even if the conduct by which citizens
 attempted to influence governmental regulation was under-
 taken for the sole purpose of destroying competition, involved
 unethical business practices, or was specifically intended to
 hurt competitors.14
   in Noerr Motors was based on
the fact that “antitrust laws, ‘tailored as they are for the busi-
ness world, are not at all appropriate for application in the
political arena.’”28 Under this reasoning, federal and state
courts have applied the Noerr-Pennington doctrine to FTCA
cases,29 state unfair trade practices acts,30 and a state con-
sumer protection act.31 The extension of the doctrine to state
laws in this context is based on state statutory requirements
to construe state antitrust laws in accordance with their fed-
eral counterparts.32
   In Rodgers v. F.T.C.,33 the petitioner contended that oppo-
nents of an “initiative measure had combined ‘in both vertical
and horizontal agreements, to make price representations to
the public that constituted unfair and deceptive trade prac-
tices’” under § 5 of the FTCA, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 45,
as well as the


  [7] Since Omni Outdoor Advertising, Inc., courts have con-
tinued to reject a conspiracy exception to the Noerr-Pennington
doctrine in the context of antitrust claims.45 However, courts
have applied the conspiracy exception to the doctrine when
claims are based solely on the First Amendment’s petition
clause, not antitrust laws, because the First Amendment does
not entitle individuals to absolute immunity for their speech.46
As such, the line to determine when the conspiracy exception
applies is based not on whether the claim is antitrust in nature,
but on which theory the application of the Noerr-Pennington
doctrine is predicated on, either the First Amendment or the
antitrust laws.

   Salem alleges violations of §§ 59-1602 and 59-1603. Before
examiningthe printing process has been initiated. Once the laser is started, the data processing system is in a race with the laser mechanism to continuously process the high level data sent by a host computing device into a format recognizable by the laser mechanism before the laser mechanism processes the buffered data. If the data processing system fails to remain ahead of the laser mechanism, the laser mechanism is generally programmed to abort the printing process. Consequently, printer manufacturers attempting to lower the per unit cost of their printers are interested in further exploiting data compression techniques in order to increase data processing efficiencies thereby reducing the amount of RAM required in the print system to maintain the laser mechanism. The resulting reduction in the amount of RAM
