Q:

SQL statement is ignoring where parameter

SELECT * FROM people
WHERE
university='2'
AND MATCH (lname,fname) AGAINST ('+massive' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
OR (fname LIKE '%box%' OR lname LIKE '%box%')

This query is allowing results to filter through other than those of university='2' how would I update this so it strictly only shows results where university = 2
The reason I have combined fulltext search with LIKE is because of the minimum letter count that full text search has and because I am on a shared hosting plan I am unable to modify the settings. As a result I have combined both full text and LIKE in order to accommodate

Fix your parentheses

as for CO~2~. Comparing regional contributions using temperature rather than cumulative RF brings the comparison closer to impacts but introduces additional uncertainty since the kernels are derived from global climate models. Just as regional contributions to cumulative RF are analogous to GWPs, regional contributions to temperature are analogous to global temperature change potentials (GTPs), with many of the same advantages and disadvantages ([@r4], [@r14], [@r15]). The tradeoffs when using ocean heat content to compare regional contributions are intermediate between those for cumulative RF and temperature change.

We begin our calculations of emissions in 1850, when regionally apportioned databases for industrial and land-use emissions are available. We start the integration of cumulative RF ([Eq. **2**](#eq2){ref-type="disp-formula"}) in 1900. We choose 1900 as the start since CO~2~ concentrations exceeded 300 ppm around

(*Middle* and *Bottom*) The portions of the net global mean RF allocated to regions based primarily on GHG (including land-use carbon emissions) and sulfur emissions from the nine regions noted in the text. The regions are separated into two panels to minimize overlap between curves.](pnas.1813951115fig01){#fig01}

Many key features of this figure are worthy of comment. The calculated changes in the global RF are well documented and discussed in the literature. The largest changes started around 1970. An inflection is clearly visible in the dark curve that includes both GHG and aerosol forcing. It is less apparent when aerosols are excluded. Also evident is that before 1970 the global net RF was not significantlySucrose synthase controls both intracellular ADP glucose levels and transitory starch biosynthesis in source leaves.
The prevailing model on transitory starch biosynthesis in source leaves assumes that the plastidial ADPglucose (ADPG) pyrophosphorylase (AGP) is the sole enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of the starch precursor molecule, ADPG. However, recent investigations have shown that ADPG linked to starch biosynthesis accumulates outside the chloroplast, presumably in the cytosol. This finding is consistent with the occurrence of an 'alternative' gluconeogenic pathway wherein sucrose synthase (SuSy) is involved in the production of ADPG in the cytosol, whereas both plastidial phosphoglucomutase (pPGM) and AGP play a prime role in the scavenging of starch breakdown products. To test this hypothesis, we have compared the ADPG content in both Arabidopsis and potato wild-type (WT) leaves with those


Q:

OpenCV detect corners

I'm using OpenCV on the iPhone. I want to find a Sudoku in a photo.
I started with some Gaussian Blur, Adaptive Threshold, Inverting the image and Dilate.
Then I did some findContour and drawContour to isolate the Sudoku grid.
Then I've used the Hough Transform to find lines and what I need to do now is find the corners of the grid. The Sudoku photo may be taken in an angle so I need to find the corners so I can crop and warp the image correctly.
This is how two different photos may look. One is pretty straight and one in an angle:

(Standard Hough comes in a comment. I can't post more than two links)
So, what would be the best approach to find those corners? And whichthe tallest goaltender to appear in an NHL game, according to Elias Sports Bureau. He would play 46 NHL games with the New York Rangers, the Islanders and the Edmonton Oilers.

And Maharaj, who was born in Trinidad but moved to Toronto at age 6, would go on to break cultural and racial barriers in 2003 when he became the first goaltending coach of Indian descent to work full-time in the NHL. Previously, Maharaj played six seasons of professional hockey in Sweden, where he occasionally faced episodes of racial intolerance.

Even so, Maharaj won't express bitterness. He refuses to let any of those negative experiences affect or define him. He speaks modestly about his pioneering impact on the sport.

from riding buses in the AHL to the three-round journey in the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Maharaj, 54, has two teenaged daughters, which helps him relate to the younger text-messaging generation.

Their relationship benefited from a defining moment when the Ducks lost to the Nashville Predators in the Western Conference Final in six games. Gibson missed the end of the series after he sustained a lower-body injury in Game 5.

After Gibson's official exit interview, he and Maharaj sat down for a follow-up conversation to clarify what they could've done differently.

"There had been some things that weren't working the way we both wanted," Maharaj said. "John and I went into a separate room and we aired out a lot of things we both felt that we weren't happy with.

"It waslot of work to do.'

"I was two months away from going to my first camp with the New York Islanders. I fell in love with him. If he told me to eat lima beans, I'm eating lima beans."

Maharaj's strength is his ability to determine what a certain goaltender needs to work on and then tailors the instruction accordingly. This season, the needs of a veteran such as Ryan Miller, who is 37, are different than Gibson, 24.

"As a former school teacher, I always look at the person first before I look at the position," Maharaj said. "(Gibson's) maturation as a person has certainly been reflected in his maturation as a goaltender. They've happened hand in hand.

"He's much more disciplined in how he's


whatever you could make toys with."

It has been a long journey from Trinidad's California to Anaheim, California, an improbable path that is a testament to Maharaj's dedication and perseverance.

"It was amazing," he said. "It was one of those things where I was never a superstar growing up. I was just a hard-working guy. It was until later I realized, 'Hey, you know what? I'm not bad at this.' But I never played at the highest levels growing up, so it was always a fight to get there."Q:

OPINION
JEFFERSON (Bernard), J.
By an amended information, defendant was charged in count I with a violation of Penal Code section 288a, subdivision (b) (2), a felony. It was alleged in count I that defendant committed this offense on or about May 8, 1977, by being over the


III and that count was dismissed. Defendant was tried by a jury with respect to counts I and II. The jury found defendant guilty as charged in count II. The court made a finding that the jury was hopelessly deadlocked with respect to count I and declared a mistrial as to that count. With respect to count II, proceedings were suspended and defendant was placed on probation for a period of three years subject to specified terms and conditions. On motion of the People, count I was dismissed in furtherance of justice. Defendant has appealed from the judgment of conviction.

THE FACTUAL BACKGROUND
Fred V., the alleged victim in the case at bench, testified that he had met defendant several months prior to the date of May 8, 1977,the date upon which the two offenses were allegedly committed. Fred indicated that he had met defendant at an apartment house where defendant originally resided. Fred had gone to this apartment house with several of his friends to use the swimming pool there. The use of the pool was without permission of any of the tenants of the building. On May 8, 1977, Fred was 15 years of age and defendant was a young man about 27 years of age.
On the date in question, May 8, 1977, Fred said that defendant had invited him to come to his apartment at a different apartment building to which defendant had moved; that defendant picked him up at the location of the old apartment building and drove him to the new


trait evidence to attack credibility to the two character traits of dishonesty or untruthfulness and, even if these two character traits are involved, proof cannot be made by evidence of specific instances of conduct. Certainly the conflicting testimony of Fred and defendant with respect to the events on May 8, constitutes an attack by each upon the credibility of the other as a witness. The question remains, however, of making a determination of whether the acts of misconduct by defendant  which are inadmissible to attack defendant's credibility as a witness  can be admitted to support the credibility of Fred as a witness.
We turn, for some guidance, to a consideration of Evidence Code section 780, which provides, in pertinent part for our purposes, that "[e]xcept as otherwise[and] involves a substantial danger of prejudice to defendant.'" (Thomas, supra, 20 Cal.3d 457, 469.) (Italics in original.)
The Thomas court then considered the question of the admissibility, for witness-credibility purposes, of evidence that a defendant had committed sex offenses with persons other than the victim of the offense which is the subject of the charge against the defendant. The conclusion reached by Thomas was set forth in this language: "Nothing we said in Stanley would justify the general admission of evidence of all prior offenses with persons other than the prosecuting witness if the sole asserted purpose for the admission of such evidence was to corroborate the prosecuting witness." (Id. at p. 469) (Italics in original.)
The Thomas court then enunciated a third principle relating to the issue of


the admissibility of other-crimes evidence against a criminal defendant for witness-credibility purposes. The Thomas court referred to *479 a previous Court of Appeal case, People v. Covert (1967) 249 Cal. App.2d 81 [57 Cal. Rptr. 220]. The Thomas court stated that it agreed with the rule of law set forth in Covert to the effect that evidence that defendant had committed prior similar acts with victims similar to the victims in the case in question would be admissible to corroborate the testimony of the victim if such evidence was independently admissible to prove a fact such as common design or plan  a fact that is relevant apart from the relevancy of the fact of a defendant's disposition or propensity to commit such offenses.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for the production of particles/granules of reactive metals, particularly of magnesium and magnesium alloys, having an extremely high oxygen affinity and an appreciable vapor pressure at normal granulation temperatures.

In Indonesia, both the Baju Melayu in both collar styles (and other Malay clothes such as Baju Kurung) is popular in provinces with large Malay populations such as Riau, the Riau Islands, West Kalimantan and a few other provinces mainly in Sumatera and other places where the presence of ethnic Malays are dominant. Recently, the Baju Melayu has become more popular and is not only worn at traditional events, but also in formal occasions. Government officials in Riau and other places wear them proudly during official events (even national events). It is also worn as a uniform in Silat, a traditional Malay martial arts.

The commander went there and stood on the road near the cloth makers' shops along the canal from the upper pool. 3 Three of the king’s highest officials came out of Jerusalem to meet him. One of them was Hilkiah’s son Eliakim, who was the prime minister. The other two were Shebna, assistant to the prime minister, and Joah son of Asaph, keeper of the government records.

Prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms in indigenous and non-indigenous women in Eastern Taiwan.
To investigate the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), their impact on quality of life, and their association with socioeconomic and lifestyle factors among indigenous and non-indigenous women in Eastern Taiwan. A total of 376 indigenous women and 509 non-indigenous women aged over 18 years were interviewed concerning LUTS in the recent 6 months using International Prostate Symptom Score questionnaires. Indigenous women had a higher prevalence of one or more LUTS than non-indigenous women (44.9%vs. 31.2%). Indigenous women had a significantly higher prevalence of urgency (7.7%vs. 4.3%, p = 0.024), straining to void (6.1%vs. 3.3%, p = 0.036), and nocturia (37.2%vs. 24.8%, p < 0.001) than non-indigenous women.

NEW YORK -- While Joe Girardi was doing some of the best managing of his life, he was also mourning the death of his father.

Girardi's father, Jerry, died last Saturday at the age of 81 in an Illinois nursing home after suffering from Alzheimer's disease for many years. It is a measure of who Joe Girardi is -- an essentially private man in one of the most public of all jobs, managing the New York Yankees -- that he told almost no one about his father's death.

If everything goes well, GW Pharmaceuticals would be the first-ever in the United States to be granted FDA approval for a drug that is entirely derived from the cannabis plant.

Recently, an FDA advisory panel recommended that the agency approve Epidiolex. Members of the panel unanimously agreed that its benefits outweigh its risks when treating certain forms of childhood epilepsy.

CBD is the most commonly accepted medical cannabis compound, particularly in the treatment for epileptic seizures. In fact, the United Nation’s World Health Organization had released a report last year that concluded that CBD may have “therapeutic value” and that it “exhibits no effects that are indicative of any potential for abuse or dependence.”

It is expected that the FDA will make its decision on whetheridea about, and can’t understand the answers. It’s when they then ask to have the answers explained (when they didn’t know what they asked for in the first place) that the focus on the issue goes downhill...big time!

fell like a log
from the blow, his spine fractured.

Crash, crash, crash! Down hurtled the huge stones, flinging the
unprepared Moriscos from the steep stairs, where they fell in a confused
mass, one upon the top of the other, pinned down by the great boulders
which came rolling down upon them from above, cursing, raging, crushed
and maimed, utterly taken aback by such a reception; and now only eager
and anxious to get out of a place that seemed to rain nether mill-stones
upon them.

[Illustration: The first great stone leapt from her hand and went
bounding and crashing: upon the head of the foremost Moor.

Three of their number lay stretched dead upon the ground. A number more
were badly hurt; and all were flying from the stairs, which threatened
to become a veritable death-trap for all whoimpossible to see. Help we must have at all cost, and I
trust these dispatches which you have been so carefully sewing in my
clothing, will bring it to us, ere it be too late."

He could not linger. The shadows of the coming evening were beginning to
fall, although the summer day lingered long. He put his hands upon the
shoulders of the girl, and looked into her face with a long wistful
gaze. His own face was very thin and brown, and though he was still
quite young, there were a few grey hairs to be seen about his temples.
Hard living, hard fighting, days and nights of anxious toil had left
their impress upon him, as upon many another compatriot at that season
of bitter struggle. And the bitterness was greater rather than less for
the


quarters; there was
no other room except this one that had not been searched through and
through. She would not disturb her master by a question, and continued
softly moving and looking about, till the sound of a suppressed child's
laugh, close beside her, made her almost jump; for there was nothing to
be seen, save--ah! yes; she saw it all now--there was the great empty
chest that had brought the last load of books from Gorcum. She raised
the lid, and a simultaneous shriek of laughter arose from two pairs of
rosy child-lips. There were little Cornelia and Hugo, curled up like
dormice in the chest, peeping at Elsje, with eyes brimming with
laughter.

She carried them off, laughing herself, and asking them how they managed
to breathe with the heavy lid closed fast down.

"Oh, there is a longand my gold would alike have been thrown away. I could never have
arrived in time. Thy head would have fallen, John, or ever I had reached
Edinburgh. It was with more of despair than of hope that I rode those
weary miles. Though something within me always bid me not give up."

It was a large room in which they sat, and the farther end was in deep
shadow. All turned with breathless expectancy as Donald come in,
bringing with him a slenderly made youth, who wore his hat so deeply
drawn over his face that nothing of the features could be seen. Perhaps
it was from a lack of knowledge of good manners on his part that he did
not remove it upon entering; or perhaps he was too shy to lift his eyes,
and observe


of our own!"

Then came isolated voices crying fierce questions:

"Did he not poison Conon, our brave Count of Brittany?"

"What has he done for us, who shed our blood for him?"

"Has he fulfilled the promise he made?"

"He gave us barren lands for our wounds, and what does he do when we
have made them of some value? Does he not take them from us by force,
to give them to some new favourite?"

"Down with him!--Down with him!--Shall we call such a man our King?"

The deed was done! The die was cast. The banner of revolt was raised.
The assembled company knew that already they had gone too far to draw
back. The King would hear of this thing, and would never forgive. Action
must now follow hard upon words. The Conqueror was absent; much mightblare of trumpets, the stamping of horses, the clangour of steel
trappings. The girl's eyes kindled. She drew her breath in sharp,
excited gasps.

"Now, mother," she said, wheeling round to where the old woman stood,
her gaze resting so earnestly upon her that it might almost have
scorched her by its fiery intensity.

"Thou hast no fear, daughter?"

"I know not the meaning of the word!" cried Lillyard. "My heart is
yonder. Where my heart is, there would my arm be!"

"Then come, child, come. Thou art of the right stuff; and I will never
hold thee back. Go, and may the God of battles be with thee, and give
thee part in the glory of victory!"

There was, however, one way in which they could serve the men almost as
well as by fighting beside them, and that was in bringing them food and
water when they were mounted on the walls at their perilous posts.

This was rather a fearful task. The shells rushed screaming through the
air from the height above, where the enemy's batteries were placed, and
none knew where the deadly missile might explode. Bullets rained about
the gallant defenders at their guns. It was like walking into the very
mouth of hell, as many a woman shudderingly observed; and yet there were
always volunteers for this perilous task. The noble Countess was the
leader in every difficult enterprise, and she organised a devoted band
who should carry on the work with order and system, avoiding needless
exposure,the first opportunity."

To the two inexperienced women, clinging together in their hour of
affliction, it seemed to them as though the doom of Agnes had already
well nigh gone forth. They knew how clever and unscrupulous Lawyer Farry
was, and how successful he generally proved in carrying through the
schemes to which he gave his mind. Already the neighbourhood was ringing
with the story that Agnes had poisoned her father, and although many
refused to believe in so monstrous a charge, yet it was very well known
how violent the old man's rage had been against his daughter, and that
he had died also immediately after Agnes had been taken back to his
house. This was not evidence, but it raised doubts and suspicions in
many minds.

The coroner and the jury had assembled, having first viewed the corpse,

his condition was greatly ameliorated thereby.

The dishonest jailer had been sent away, Derrick told them on his second
visit; and he added he would like to make a clean sweep of many others;
but even his father had not power for that.

Mona's heart was now relieved of the heaviest part of its burden. She
was no longer afraid of the Bishop or his son; she was no longer torn in
twain by the feeling that she might be standing between her father and
his liberty, and that perhaps filial duty demanded the sacrifice from
her of wedding a man she feared and hated. But she so distrusted the
Bishop's son that she could never think of his proposal without a
shudder; and now what joy it was to feel that their cause had been taken

thought that the ship was infected by that terrible disease was fearful
indeed. The Captain spoke on doing his best to reassure them.

"Fortunately the lady has been kept very carefully isolated. She was so
delicate when her husband brought her on board, that everything was done
to ensure perfect quiet for her. She has occupied one of a little nest
of cabins, all the rest of which were empty. The husband bespoke the
sole attendance of one of the two stewardesses, and as my ship's doctor
is a cautious man, and was rather anxious about Mrs. Varden's condition,
he has used every precaution himself; though he suspected as little as
the patient or her husband, that she carried in her the seeds of so
dire a disease. I can assure you with good conscience that I do

The mixture was subsequently cooled to room temperature and centrifuged. The supernatant was acidified to about pH 4.5 and centrifuged. The acquired supernatant was concentrated to about one-fourth of the initial volume, then precipitated using ethanol, and subsequently centrifuged. The deposit was dissolved in distilled water and centrifuged. The supernatant was purified and freeze dried. The obtained fraction was alkali-extracted AX from the residue of complex enzyme extraction (CEAX-1).

Destarched and deproteinized triticale was also treated by alkali extraction. The extraction procedure was similar to that used in residue extraction. The obtained fraction was alkali extractable AXs (AEAXs).

Water extraction was applied to obtain AX from triticale. About 5 g of destarched

### 2.8.1. Hydroxyl Radical-Scavenging Assay {#sec2dot8dot1-antioxidants-08-00584}

The abilities of AX samples in scavenging hydroxyl radicals were studied. Amounts of about 0.1mg/mL to 2.0 mg/mL of samples were dissolved in ultrapure water. A 1 mL of sample solution was mixed with 2 mL of reaction buffer (0.02 mol/L phosphate buffer (PBS), pH 7.4), 1.5 mL of 1,10-phenanthroline (1 mmol/L), 1 mL of FeSO~4~ (1.5 mmol/L), 1 mL of H~2~O~2~ (0.1%), and 3.5 mL of ultrapure water to form the mixture, which was incubated at 37 °C for 60 min. The existence of hydroxyl radical was determined by monitoring absorbance at 510 nm using a spectrophotometer, and the Vc was used as the positive control \[[@B20-antioxidants-08-00584]\].

has been reported to possibly inhibit the activity of α-glucosidase and α-amylase \[[@B9-antioxidants-08-00584],[@B10-antioxidants-08-00584]\]. Zhang et al. (2016) believed that the antioxidant capacity of AXs can reduce postprandial oxidative stress that is associated with lower risks of diabetes \[[@B11-antioxidants-08-00584]\]. Research studies indicated that AX antioxidant may contribute to their hypoglycemic activity. Thus, the present study further estimated the hypoglycemic activity of AXs.

3.3. Hypoglycemic Activity of AXs {#sec3dot3-antioxidants-08-00584}
---------------------------------

α-Amylase has the ability to break down long-chain carbohydrates, which can divide amylose into maltotriose and maltose as well as decompose amylopectin into maltose, glucose, and amylodextrin. Thus, the inhibition of α-amylase activity will contribute to the delay of increase in postprandial blood sugar levels \[[@B39-antioxidants-08-00584]\]. The ability of AXs to inhibit α-amylase was determined, and the results are presented in [Figure 7](#antioxidants-08-00584-f007){ref-type="fig"}.dialysis time; therefore, the GDRI of all AXs was decreased over time. Moreover, the GDRI of WEAX was notably higher than that of CEAX (*p* \< 0.05) because of the better solubility of WEAX \[[@B42-antioxidants-08-00584]\]. Higher solubility possibly makes WEAX easy to interact with glucose, which leads to a higher glucose absorption capacity.

The results demonstrated that FA content of AXs plays an important role in their hypoglycemic activity. Esterified FA also exhibited a higher ability to elevate AX viscosity and inhibit α-amylase activity compared with free FA. Moreover, the MW and DS of AXs were able to affect the viscosity of AXs, thereby exerting effects on their hypoglycemic activity \[[@B7-antioxidants-08-00584]\].

them a few seconds later, and it breaks the spell, Red's fear resurfacing as he quickly withdraws his abra, then puts his headphones in and calls Blue. As he watches, lightning lights up a different part of the cloudwall, then another flash arcs down to the ground below it, then another far to the left. The thunder from each one hits with a few seconds between them, and Red realizes that he's hearing what will be a constant refrain throughout the storm.

Blue answers after the fourth ring. "Red, how-"

"I'm here." Red looks at Leaf, who's at the railing and, looking down at the city below. "We're here. We teleported back as soon as we saw on the news."

"You're… You actually…" Blue laughs. "Red, you brave, beautiful idiot! Ibut stops as it finds fire on every side of it, now.

Leaf lets out a dismayed cry, and runs toward it.

"Stop, Leaf!" Red says, and his pokemon stops attacking, taking the command as if directed at him. He rushes forward to grab her shirt, then freezes as the heat is felt, suddenly scared of being burned, watching in horror as she rushes straight for the flames...

...then drops to grab the bottom of one of the shirt racks, lifting the fire atop it toward the ceiling.

Water starts pouring from the sprinkler, though no fire alarm goes off. Leaf drops the rack and pulls out a pokeball, then runs through the dying flames to ping a lock and capture the nidorino. She quickly leaps back and away from the fires,


even as they start dying too.

Red steps back from the powerful downpour of water, then turns back toward the front door. The stampede outside seems to be finally thinning, and soon Leaf has rejoined him with Raff, her clothes and hair soaked as they watch together for any more pokemon coming in.

They continue to run by outside, but fewer and fewer every passing second. Eventually a bibarel turns toward the broken doors for no discernible reason, only to slam into the edge of them and stumble away rather than coming inside. A young voice screams in fear anyway, which draws Red's attention to the back of the store even as it sets his flight response into high gear again.

"It's okay, hon, we're safe," the woman beside the smallaura twice over, would have if the damn thing didn't keep pushing at him to run and hide… But there was something more interesting underneath that. Some overwhelming sensory input he couldn't process at all, but was still aware of through Pikachu. Did he just begin adapting to a new sense his pokemon has? Or maybe it's something he sensed through Pikachu before, but in such small amounts that he never noticed...

Something crashes downstairs, and everyone turns toward the stairway as the young boy screams and cowers against his mother. "Oh, what now?" Leaf moans, mirroring Red's thoughts as they all listen to the pokemon downstairs knock over and smash things, probably confused as it tries to get back out. There's a cry of pain from some pokemon


and lets out a breath of relief.

"His lower spine got severed," Red says. They could fix it at a pokemon center… maybe. Depending on how bad the injury is.

"Oh, no, poor thing." She crouches beside him and strokes Pikachu's head between its ears. "Withdraw him, Red, you can't do any more for him now."

Red nods and puts his pokemon down, whispering words of encouragement before stepping back and withdrawing him. He puts his ball carefully at the back of his lower belt, swapping its position with his spinarak, heart heavy.

Leaf wraps her arms around him, shocking Red into stillness for a moment before he awkwardly hugs her back, then squeezes. "He'll be okay," Leaf says, and Red nods against her shoulder, not trusting himself to speak.

Over the windare the others. Take everyone there, lock yourselves in until the thunder stops."

"Screw that," Tony says. "I'm not staying in an office while the place fills with pokemon. I'll come with you two and get to a real shelter."

Red had been about to snap at the man and tell him he doesn't have much choice, until his final comment. What's he going to do, say no, Tony can't come with them? It would be easier than defending everyone at the same time, but if it's just Leaf and Red they could use their bikes. "You don't have a bike in there, do you?" Red asks, looking at the container ball on his belt.

The man stares at him like he asked an unreasonable question, then says, "No."

How do non-trainers


live so unprepared? He knows it's an unfair thought, but he's too busy thinking about ways to convince the man to stay to spare thought for being charitable. Going slow to protect 5 people makes sense, doing it for one just feels suboptimal. That might just be because he doesn't like the man.

"We'll stay here?" Kaito half asks his wife, who nods. "If you'll let us," he says to Pam. "We'll keep out of anything."

Pam hesitates a moment more, then her gaze flick to Tony. "Alright," Pam agrees, seeming relieved that he won't be with them.

Dammit. Red is glad the older folks wouldn't be more people for them to watch over, but now convincing Tony to stay might cause trouble with Pam.

"Take us there now," Red says asbeen done by the club of late off the pitch. When GFH Capital purchased the club from Leeds fans it saw us embark on a typically rollercoaster-like ride; first we were rich, then we were poor, then Bates looked set to remain as President and supporters no longer knew where they stood.

But since the end of last season, the situation has begun to change.

For the first time in years, the owners of the club have listened to the fans. They’ve introduced a dynamic ticket pricing system, with new prices for students and young adults making games much more affordable. The highest opening day crowd for ten years shows just how receptive Leeds fans are to the changes.

As well as this, they’ve also started stocking replica shirts in the


I met Lisa at Porcfest this year and she seemed like a great person who loved Bitcoin. It wasn’t until we recently chatted that I started seeing her name pop up everywhere, advising certain next generation projects and writing a slew of whitepapers. This is why I’ve dubbed her the Bitcoin Wonder Woman. The questions literally leap between each of the projects she’s involved in so bear with me. She’s currently involved in Gems, Coinkite, and FACTOM, and advises a few other Bitcoin projects.

Ruben Alexander: What are your goals when writing a whitepaper?

Lisa Cheng: When writing a whitepaper, we seek to highlight the technical validities of the entire project and we do that by looking for the answers to questions that are commonly asked – how is itthere is more peace.

to mind is the "insurgent" fighting against our military in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the other countries of the Middle East in which our military is increasingly becoming engaged. Some examples of such "terrorists" might be: the vengeful man whose innocent brother was killed by an unmanned drone over the border of Pakistan; the adrenaline-fueled teenager taking on the militarized Goliath occupying his hometown; the man in the wrong place at the wrong time, picked up by a bounty hunter and sold to the American government with a fictional story created about his involvement in terrorist activities; and the list could continue, portraying stories far different than the standard "radical jihadist" that dominates our media's narrative.

Things hit closer to home when the suspected terrorists have white skin. Take, forthe diffraction peak for proton-proton scattering was shrinking [@ref4].

In view of this situation, Cheng and one of us (TTW) decided to learn about the high-energy behavior of total cross sections by studying quantum gauge field theory, specifically by summing the leading terms of the perturbation series. The result found this way in 1970 was a surprise: the total cross section must increase at high energies, essentially saturating the Froissart-Martin bound, and the real part of the forward scattering amplitude does have the Khuri-Kinoshita behavior [@ref5]. At that time, the measured proton-proton total cross section was still decreasing, while the real part of the forward scattering amplitude was still negative but increasing rapidly  [@ref6]. Three years later, two experiments at the Interesting Storage Ring (ISR) at CERN showed that the proton-proton

The identification of additional causative genes will lead to an increased knowledge of the defects contributing to this devastating disease and open new avenues of research for the PD scientific community as well as the development of new therapeutic targets.

lever is at a radial distance from the eccentric axis as well as from the shaft axis and, with one lever end, actuates the control spool. Effective between the regulating lever and one shaft part is a spring unit which attempts to press the regulating lever into a center position relative to the one shaft part. Accordingly, the regulating lever assumes a double function. On the one hand, it serves to actuate the control spool and, on the other hand, it serves, together with the spring unit, to produce a restoring force which forces the shaft parts as well as the regulating lever into a normal position relative to one another. In addition, this regulating lever also limits the possible relative rotation between the shaft parts by itsradial slots when the first and second shaft parts are in the center position relative to one another.
On account of the arrangement and design according to the invention, the leg spring, during assembly of the auxiliary-force control, can be inserted into the said recess on one shaft part or on the part firmly connected thereto. The leg spring maintains this position on account of its preloading, since it is firmly secured in the recess by frictional connection with walls of the recess or allocated slots. Thus the leg spring at the same time assumes a position in which the two shaft parts can be assembled virtually free from force in their center position relative to one another.
In addition, it is advantageous that the leg spring is effective directly


Hyperexpression of rat spermatidal protein TP2 in Escherichia coli by codon optimization and engineering the vector-encoded 5' UTR.
We have recently reported the cDNA cloning of rat spermatidal protein TP2 and its expression in Escherichia coli using pTrc 99A as the expression vector. However, the expression level was very low. We have now improved the expression of TP2 over fivefold by (1) optimizing the codons for lysine, arginine, proline, leucine, glycine, valine, threonine, alanine, and tyrosine and (2) by engineering the vector-encoded 5' UTR. The expressed protein was in the soluble phase and could be purified to homogeneity by successive chromatography on Zinc-NTA-agarose affinity matrix and heparin agarose. Serendipitously, we have also observed a concomitant hyperinduction of vector encoded beta-lactamase gene along with TP2 in the E. coli BL21of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) at 24 - 28 weeks and above 36 weeks were measured. GDM was diagnosed by "two-step" method according to the National Diabetes Data Group (NDDG) criteria. The pregnancy outcomes and complications of the three groups were recorded. (1) Comparison of pregnancy outcomes and complications:glycemic satisfied group was less likely to develop hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (10.6%), premature birth (8.3%), large for gestational age (LGA) (8.8%), neonatal asphyxia (3.7%) and neonatal hypoglycemia (2.3%) compared to glycemic unsatisfied group (42.9%, 34.3%, 31.4%, 22.9% and 11.4%, respectively). And the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). There was no significant difference for incidence of polyhydramnios, pueperal infection, postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia between the two groups (P > 0.05). When compared to healthy control


group (7.3%, 2.1%, 4.2%, 2.1% and 1.6%), no significant difference was found for incidence of premature birth (8.3%), pueperal infection (3.2%), postpartum hemorrhage (5.1%), neonatal asphyxia (3.7%) and neonatal hypoglycemia (2.3%, P > 0.05). (2) Comparison of results of 24 - 28 weeks and above 36 weeks: serum SHBG of glycemic satisfied group [(384 ± 88), (457 ± 48) nmol/L] was significantly higher than that of glycemic unsatisfied group [(313 ± 45), (401 ± 73) nmol/L]; HOMA-IR of glycemic satisfied group (5.3 ± 1.1, 5.5 ± 1.1) was significantly lower than that of glycemic unsatisfied group (7.0 ± 1.3, 7.6 ± 1.7; P < 0.01). Serum SHBG of glycemic satisfied group was significantly lower than that of healthy control group [(492 ± 95), (565 ± 40) nmol/L]; andwithout the cosmological constant, unless some higher derivative terms, like the (gravitational) Chern-Simons term, are introduced [@Dese:82]. Although spacetime outside of matter is locally of constant curvature, some non-trivial spacetime solutions to the field equations exist that have either black hole [@btz] or cosmological event horizons [@Dese:84b; @Park:98] when the cosmological constant is nonzero[^4]. Their metrics have the general form $$\label{eq:metbtz} (ds)^2 = -N^2(R) dT^2 + \frac{dR^2}{N^2(R)} +
R^2(d\varphi+N^{\varphi}(R)dT)^2$$ with the lapse (squared) and shift functions $$N^2(R) = \frac{(\alpha_{o} R^2 +\gamma_{o} )(\alpha_{i} R^2 +
\gamma_{i} )}{\ell^2R^2},~
{N^{\varphi}(R)=-\frac{\mbox{sign}(\alpha_{o} \alpha_{i})
\sqrt{\gamma_{o} \gamma_{i}}}{\ell R^2}}$$ respectively. Here, $\alpha_{o/i}$ and $\gamma_{o/i}$ are constant parameters whose signs (and values) depend on whether we are considering the black hole solution in AdS space or the cosmological solution in dS space.

formalism [@Cris:04]. For a more restricted class of scenarios, they found that singularities were also avoided. Our work goes beyond this insofar as we consider shells with pressure. In this case, curvature singularities of finite spatial extent are formed before they meet the barrier, and the effective potential and surface stress-energy tensor diverge. Therefore under rather generic conditions it is possible for a naked singularity to form, violating cosmic censorship as in the non-rotating collapse scenario [@mo].

The outline of our paper is as follows. In Sec. \[sec:coll\], we present a set-up for the two-dimensional hypersurfaces with arbitrary rotations and a spherical symmetry. Considering a co-rotating frame where the co-moving observer on the shell sees only the radial motion yields a simplified equation of motion for the shell. Inindices on the shell. The combination of the metric junction condition and the induced Einstein’s equation on the shell will describe the effective motion of the shell.

If we take a co-rotating frame on the shell by introducing $d\varphi
= d\phi + \epsilon\frac{R_{o}R_{i}}{\ell {\mathcal R}^2(T)}dT$, then the metric (\[eq:metbtz\]) becomes $$(ds)^2 = - N^2dT^2 + \frac{dR^2}{N^2} +
R^2\left[d\phi+\frac{\epsilon
R_{o}R_{i}}{\ell}\left(\frac{1}{{\mathcal R}^2(T)} -
\frac{1}{R^2}\right)dT\right]^2\label{eq:indmet}$$ and each metric in both regions is simply expressed as $$(ds)^2_{{\mathcal V}_{\pm}} = - N^2_{\pm}dT^2 +
\frac{dR^2}{N^2_{\pm}} + R^2\left[d\phi -
{N_{\pm}^{\phi} R^2} \left(\frac{1}{{\mathcal R}^2(T)}
- \frac{1}{R^2}\right)dT\right]^2, \label{eq:indmet2}$$ with $$N_{\pm}^2 = \frac{(\alpha_{o}^{\pm}R^2 +
\gamma_{o}^{\pm})(\alpha_{i}^{\pm}R^2 +
\gamma_{i}^{\pm})}{\ell^2R^2},~
{N_{\pm}^{\phi}=-\frac{\epsilon_{\pm} \sqrt{\gamma_{o}^{\pm}
\gamma_{i}^{\pm}}}{\ell R^2}}$$ and $\epsilon_{\pm} \equiv {\rm sign}(\alpha_{o}^{\pm}
\alpha_{i}^{\pm})$. Here $\alpha^{\pm}_{o/i}$ and $\gamma^{\pm}_{o/i}$ depend on the choice of spacetime. The black hole and cosmological solutions are respectively given by $\alpha_{o/i}=+1, \gamma_{o/i} <0$ and $\alpha_{o}=-\alpha_{i}=+1,
\gamma_{o}>0$, as explained in Sec. 1. Note that $T$ is


shell.

We shall assume that the surface stress-energy tensor of the shell is that of a perfect fluid $$\begin{aligned}
{\mathcal S}_{ij} =(\rho + p) u_{i}u_{j}+p g_{ij},\end{aligned}$$ where $\rho$ is an energy density, $p$ is a pressure, and $u^{i}$ is the shell’s two-velocity. Then, from the second junction condition (\[eq:jc2\]), the surface stress-energy tensor [with three-velocity $u^{\mu}=(1,0,0)$]{} is straightforwardly evaluated to be $$\begin{aligned}
-\rho &=&{{\mathcal S}^{\tau}}_{\tau} = \frac{1}{
{8 \pi G}  \mathcal
R}(\beta_{+}-\beta_{-}), \nonumber \\
p&=&{{\mathcal S}^{\phi}}_{\phi} = \frac{d}{ { 8
\pi G} d{\mathcal R}}(\beta_{+}-\beta_{-}), \label{eq:eqns}\end{aligned}$$ where $\beta_{\pm} \equiv \sqrt{(d{\mathcal R}/d\tau)^2+{\mathcal
N}_{\pm}^2}$. In addition, we have ${\mathcal S}_{\tau\phi}={(\rho+p)
u_\tau u_\phi}=0$ since ${u_{\phi}}$ vanishes on the shell in the co-rotating frame. Hence $[K_{\tau\phi}]=0$, which gives $$K_{\tau\phi}^{+} = {\frac{{\rm sign}(\alpha_{o}^{+}
\alpha_{i}^{+})\sqrt{\gamma_{o}^{+}\gamma_{i}^{+}}}{\ell {\mathcal
R}} = \frac{{\rm sign}(\alpha_{o}^{-} \alpha_{i}^{-})
\sqrt{\gamma_{o}^{-}\gamma_{i}^{-}}}{\ell {\mathcal R}} }=
K_{\tau\phi}^{-}, \label{eq:jpjm}$$ implying $J_{+} = J_{-}$ on the shell. [Combining]{} both equationsstate $$p=\frac{\omega \rho}{\pi} \left(\frac{2 \pi \ell
\rho}{m_{0}}\right)^{1/n} ,\label{eq:poly}$$ that encompasses many sorts of known fluids by choosing a specific equation of state parameter $\omega$ and polytropic index $n$. For instance, we have constant energy density ($n=0$), non-relativistic degenerate fermions ($n=1$), non-relativistic matter or radiation pressure ($n=2$), and linear (perfect) fluid ($n\rightarrow
\infty$), respectively [@cf]. Moreover, the equation of state in Eq. (\[eq:poly\]) can describe a Chaplygin gas by choosing $n,
\omega <0$.

Plugging the equation of state (\[eq:poly\]) into Eq. (\[eq:eqn2\]) yields $$\label{rho:finite_n} \rho(x) =\frac{m_0 }{2 \pi \ell}
\left(-\omega+\mu x^{1/n}\right)^{-n},$$ where $\mu$ is an integration constant. Similarly, for the linear fluid ($n \rightarrow \infty$), we have $$\rho(x) = \frac{m_0 }{2 \pi \ell} x^{-(\omega+1)}.$$ From these we obtain the equations $$\sqrt{\dot{x}^2+{\mathcal N}_{+}^2}-\sqrt{\dot{x}^2+{\mathcal
N}_{-}^2} + \frac{( m_{0}x/2 )}{(-\omega+(1+\omega)x^{1/n})^{n}} =
0,$$ for finite $n$, and $$\sqrt{\dot{x}^2+{\mathcal N}_{+}^2}-\sqrt{\dot{x}^2+{\mathcal
N}_{-}^2} +

Main Results {#sec:main_results}
============

In this section, a systematic solution to Problem \[problem\] is introduced. Due to the fact that we aim to minimize the terms $\|x_i(t) - x_{\scriptscriptstyle i, \rm des} \|$, as $t \to \infty$, subject to distance and control input constraints imposed by Problem \[problem\], we seek a solution which is the outcome of an decentralized optimization. In Section \[sec:error\_dynamics\] we derive the error dynamics and the distance constraints of each agent; Section \[sec:dec\_control\_design\]


- \overline{e}_i(t), \label{eq:error_z}\end{aligned}$$ the deviation between the real states $e_i(t)$ of the uncertain system and the states $\overline{e}_i(t)$ of the nominal system . Note that initially it holds that $z_{i}(0) = 0$ for every $i \in \mathcal{V}$. By using , and , the dynamics of $z_{i}(t)$ for each agent $i \in \mathcal{V}$ are given by: $$\begin{aligned}
\dot{z}_{i} & = \dot{e}_i - \dot{\overline{e}}_i, \notag \\
& = f_i(e_i+x_{\scriptscriptstyle i, \rm des}, u_i)+w_i - f_i(\overline{e}_i+x_{\scriptscriptstyle i, \rm des}, \overline{u}_i) \notag \\
& = f_i(e_i+x_{\scriptscriptstyle i, \rm des}, u_i) - f_i(\overline{e}_i+x_{\scriptscriptstyle i, \rm des}, u_i) +f_i(\overline{e}_i+x_{\scriptscriptstyle i, \rm des}, u_i)- f_i(\overline{e}_i+x_{\scriptscriptstyle i, \rm des}, \overline{u}_i)+w_i \notag \\
& = \Lambda_i(e_i, \overline{e}_i, u_i)+f_i(\overline{e}_i+x_{\scriptscriptstyle i, \rm des}, u_i)- f_i(\overline{e}_i+x_{\scriptscriptstyle i, \rm des}, \overline{u}_i)+w_i. \label{eq:z_dynamics}\end{aligned}$$ In the latter, the functions $\Lambda_i:\mathcal{D} \times \mathcal{D} \times \mathcal{U}_i \to \mathbb{R}^{6}$ areand they are defined by: $F_i(e_i, u_i) \coloneqq e_i^{\top} Q_i e_i + u_i^{\top} R_i u_i$ and $V_i(e_i) = e_i^{\top} P_i e_i$, respectively; $R_i \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ and $Q_i$, $P_i \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ are positive definite gain matrices to be appropriately tuned; $Q_i \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ is a positive semi-definite gain matrix to be appropriately tuned. The sets $\mathcal{F}_i$ are the terminal sets that are used to force the stability of the multi-agent system and will be explained later.

We will explain hereafter the form of the sets $\overline{\mathcal{E}}_i$ and $\overline{\mathcal{U}}_i$. In order to guarantee that while each agent $i \in \mathcal{V}$ is solving the DFHOCP - for its nominal system , the real system trajectories $e_i(t)$, which are the solution of as well as the control


inputs $u_i(t)$ satisfy the state and input constraints $\mathcal{E}_i$ and $\mathcal{U}_i$, respectively, the sets $\mathcal{E}_i$ and $\mathcal{U}_i$ needs to be properly modified. Due to the fact that $\mathcal{Z}_i$ are RCI sets of the error dynamics , under the control law , , it holds that: $$\begin{aligned}
e_i(s)-\overline{e}_i(s) \in \mathcal{Z}_i & \Rightarrow e_i(s) \in \mathcal{Z}_i \oplus \left\{ \overline{e}_i(s) \right\}, \forall s \in [t_k, t_k+T], i \in \mathcal{V}. \label{eq:prop_sets_item1}\end{aligned}$$ Combining the latter with the fact that $e_i(s)$ needs to satisfy the state constraints $\mathcal{E}_i$, $\forall s \in [t_k, t_k+T]$, $i \in \mathcal{V}$, the state constraints set of each agent are modified as: $$\overline{\mathcal{E}}_i \coloneqq \mathcal{E}_i \ominus \mathcal{Z}_i.$$ Moreover, by using as well as and , we have: $$\begin{aligned}
u_i(s) - \overline{u}_i(s) = (-k_i) \left(e_i(s) - \overline{e}_i(s)\right) & \in (-k_i) \circ \mathcal{Z}_i, \forallproof of the theorem consists of two parts:

**Recursive Feasibility :** It will be shown that recursive feasibility is established, and it implies subsequent feasibility. The feasibility proof can be found in Appendix \[app:feasibility\_analysis\];

**Convergence Analysis :** The convergence analysis is given in Appendix \[app:convergence\_analysis\].

Assumption \[ass:f\_assumption\] - \[ass:stabilized\_linear\_assumption\] as well as communication capabilities among the agents are standard assumptions in order for the nominal stability of decentralized NMPC schemes to be guaranteed.

Simulation Results {#sec:simulation_results}
==================

For a simulation scenario, consider $N = 3$ agents $\mathcal{V} = \{1,2,3\}$ with uncertain non-affine nonlinear dynamics given as follows: $$\begin{aligned}
\dot{x}_{i,1} & = \frac{0.1-0.1e^{-x_{i,2}}}{1+e^{-x_{i,2}}} + 0.25 x_{i,1}^2 + 2 u_{i,1} +0.3 \cos(t), \notag \\

       In response to the SMGB’s decision remanding the reclamation plan, the Board

The public works department prepared an addendum to the FEIR. County staff member
Augustine Ramirez told the Board that the reclamation plan had been revised to include
an engineered grading and drainage plan and a postmining water balance.6 Ramirez
stated that the revisions did “not change the information analysis or conclusions of the

Friends filed a petition for writ of mandate against County and the Board (respondents)

projects require operation of various project components during those hours.” It provides
a noise exposure assessment table showing noise levels at identified noise receiver
locations that would result from various operational activities (aggregate, recycle,
asphalt, concrete, excavation) during daytime and nighttime. The DEIR notes that the
increase in noise level from excavation activities could potentially be significant. The
DEIR recommends mitigation measures to reduce the Project’s noise impacts.
Recommended Mitigation Measure N-2 provides, among other things, (1) excavation
would only occur from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday unless it could be
demonstrated through on-site noise measurements that such activities could occur during
nighttime hours without exceeding the thresholds of significance, (2) rock plant
processing and aggregate load-out would be limited to daytimethe week for the entire year, but
       the way that the EIR is drafted and the way the permit will be drafted, it
       allows for nighttime operations that are not emergencies, and we all know
       that Caltrans operates at night a lot, and they have their reasons for doing
       that. But I think it’s really misleading to say that only in emergencies are
       they going to be operating at night, because the way that it’s drafted now
       that is not the case.”


on water consumption or potential contamination.
Consequently, we reject its argument that the project description is inadequate because it
lacks a postmining water balance calculation. (Dry Creek, supra, 70 Cal.App.4th at
p. 36.)
          D.     Substantial evidence regarding EIR’s conclusions on groundwater
                 supplies, adjacent riparian vegetation, and Byrd Slough⃰
          Petitioner argues there is no support for the EIR’s conclusions that the Project will
not impact groundwater supplies and adjacent riparian vegetation. It asserts there is
“significant evidence in the record” showing that the Project will impact Byrd Slough and
the oak woodlands adjacent to the Project.

opening brief,however, refers only to the loss of the water from evaporation. We need not
consider this argument, which is raised for the first time in the reply brief and which the other
parties have no opportunity to respond to. Further, it is unclear what petitioner’s concern about
using the water basins for irrigation is. If water from the water basins is used to irrigate the
orchards, presumably the same amount of groundwater would not need to be pumped from wells,
resulting in no net increase in water consumption.
⃰         See footnote, ante, page 1.


  Valley oak is sapling recruitment and loss of mature trees. Valley oaks
       have died in some areas because of substantial and long-term lowered water
       tables, a situation that would not occur as result of implementing the
       Project. Mature trees are also sensitive to overwatering, pruning, grade
       changes, and blankets of asphalt covering the root system. However, the
       trees are resistant to short-term drought and mature trees exhibit drought
       damage only after a series of dry years occur and result in the groundwater
       surface decliningdoes not
demonstrate that the EIR lacks substantial evidence regarding oak trees. Appendix F-2 is
a memorandum prepared by URS, an engineering consulting company, titled “Carmelita
Project EIR Technical Report Review” reviewing a biological resources environmental
assessment report for the Project dated July 2010. Petitioner relies on the following
recommendation from URS: “Additional information should be obtained to assist in the
assessment of impacts to riparian forest … communities west of the project site.” As
respondents and real parties in interest note, however, petitioner fails to mention that,
after reviewing the biological resources report, URS itself prepared the hydrology
technical report at appendix J-4 to the DEIR. As we have seen, appendix J-4 supports the
FEIR’s conclusion that the Project will not have a significant impact on groundwater
levels and, therefore, will not significantly impact adjacent oak trees. In

        An EIR must describe “feasible measures which could minimize significant
adverse impacts.” (Guidelines, § 15126.4, subd. (a)(1).)20 “Where several measures are
available to mitigate an impact, each should be discussed and the basis for selecting a
particular measure should be identified.” (Id., subd. (a)(1)(B).)
        “‘Mitigation’” includes: “(a) Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a
certain action or parts of an action. [¶] (b) Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or
magnitude of the action and its implementation. [¶] (c) Rectifying the impact by
repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the impacted environment. [¶] (d) Reducing or
eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the
life of the action. [¶] (e) Compensating for the


DEIR states that it is not possible to reclaim the entire site to agricultural land
due to the existing water table. It continues:

20      “‘Significant effect on the environment’ means a substantial, or potentially substantial,
adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including
land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic
significance.” (Guidelines, § 15382.)

example, offer evidence showing that the population growth rates used in the Project’s
EIR are the same as those used in the CEMEX project. Young also wrote that there was
a decrease in aggregate production from 2006 to 2007, due in part to decreased home
construction. He then claimed that the recent economic downturn would “almost
certainly result in even further decreases in aggregate demand for some time to come”
and the analysis for the CEMEX project “does not account for the downturns.” Again,
petitioner does not connect Young’s comments about a different EIR to the evidence in
this case. The public works department letter does not appear to be relevant, and
petitioner does not attempt to explain how it might be relevant. Burch’s

‘Aggregate Availability in California,’ p. 15.)” A map prepared by the DOC,
“AGGREGATE AVAILABILITY IN CALIFORNIA[;] Fifty-Year Aggregate Demand Compared
to Permitted Aggregate Resources” shows that permitted sources of aggregate represent a
small fraction of the 50-year demand for aggregate in the Fresno area. A planning
commission staff report provides: “The shortage of aggregate throughout the Fresno
region is a serious problem. As of January 1, 2006, the County had only permitted
11 percent of the region’s 50-year aggregate demand, with less than 10 years of permitted

recession, it is important to note that it is based on a 50-year forecast, and it accounts for
economic expansion and contraction.” A consulting firm opined in August 2012 that “the
DOC’s data remain the official source of reliable statewide and regional information [and
are] … useful to local decision makers [and] land-use planners.” This is substantial
evidence supporting the conclusions that there is a need for additional sources of
aggregate in the Fresno area and that a source of aggregate located closer to the Fresno
area could result in fewer trucks hauling aggregate from Coalinga.

       Coastal debris analysis in beaches of Chonburi Province, eastern of Thailand as implications for coastal conservation.
This study quantified coastal debris along 3 beaches (Angsila, Bangsaen, Samaesarn) in eastern coast of Thailand. Debris samples were collected from lower and upper strata of these beaches during wet and dry seasons. The results showed that Bangsaen had the highest average debris density (15.5m-2) followed by Samaesarn (8.10m-2), and Angsila (5.54m-2). Among the 12 debris categories, the most abundant debris type was plastics (>45% of the total debris) in all beach locations. Coastal debris distribution was related to economic activities in the vicinity. Fishery and shell-fish aquaculture activities were primary sources of debris in Angsila while tourism activities were main sources in Bangsaen and Samaesarn.

Urrea was infuriated and, after linking up with Vicente Filisola's forces, he wanted to continue the war against the Texans since the Mexicans still had over 2,500 troops in Texas against less than 900 of Sam Houston's Texans. But both Urrea and Filisola had no choice but to comply with Santa Anna's orders, so by the middle of June, Urrea and all Mexican forces had withdrawn from Texas. The Mexican authorities criticized Filisola for leading the retreat, stripped him of his command, and made Urrea the new commander of the army. Within a few months, Urrea gathered an army of 6,000 troops near Matamoros to finally reconquer Texas. However, the invasion never occurred as he and his troops were redirected to

As Arno’s two children sought to help their mother, Ibrahim “was able to get one of her shoes off” and struck Arno’s teenage daughter in the head. A neighbor subsequently “entered the fight” and was “able to help hold the suspect until the police department arrived.”

Ibrahim was arrested on a pair of battery counts and was booked into the Gwinnett County jail, where the above mug shot was snapped. A third misdemeanor charge was later filed against Ibrahim after police determined that she gave them
