widely used agent followed by vancomycin^[@b19],[@b20]^. In our study, we used the combination of vancomycin with teicoplanin as both have the desired properties. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the outcome of antibiotic cement coated nailing in the management of infected nonunion of tibia in terms of infection control and bony union.

Materials and Methods
=====================

This is a prospective study of 20 patients (19 males, one female) with infected nonunion of tibia aged from 22 to 61 years (mean, 39 years) who were treated using antibiotic cement coated nailing. Patients with diaphyseal fractures of tibia with bone gap less than 2 cm were included in the study. Patients who were allergic to vancomycin or teicoplanin were excluded. Of these 20 patients, thirteen sustained open fractures, and seventeen haddiabetes, obesity, physical inactivity) are more common among Hispanic whites than non-Hispanic whites ([@B2]). Mexican Americans, who make up 64.3% of the total U.S. Hispanic population and live primarily in the south-central and southwestern United States, have the highest rate of diabetes among Hispanic Americans ([@B1]). They are twice as likely to have diabetes and have higher rates of diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, and peripheral vascular disease than non-Hispanic whites ([@B2]).

![The Arizona--Sonora border](PCD21A05s01){#F1}

On the U.S.-Mexico border, the impact of diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions. Based on a random household survey of Hispanic populations aged ≥40 years in two Arizona border counties, Pima and Santa Cruz, the prevalence of diabetes was 20%, which is 2--2.5 times higher than non-Hispanic whites ([@B3]). In this survey, diabetes was defined as either an

Place the second identical shape on top of the first, making sure to align both shapes properly.

Press the edges of the two pieces of pastry all around so they combine. Wetting the fingers with some cold water can help if the 2 layers are difficult to combine.

Repeat the above steps for the other 3 Figolli

To bake, pre-heat the oven to 190 C. Place double layer of Baking paper on a baking tray and place the figolli gently on paper. Cook until the top turns golden, and the edges start becoming dark (about 30 mins).

To get the right shapes you should use metal cut out templates which are like cookie cutter templates, but larger and in different shapes.

their decision, which the Court recognizes is an intentionally low standard. Here, however, Defendants have provided the Court with only two explanations for their decisions  Ms. McCardle's alleged hesitancy about using weapons and Mr. Balsamo's sub-3.5 interview score. In both cases, by comparing themselves to individuals who appear to be prima facie identical but who received different treatment, Ms. McCardle and Mr. Balsamo have successfully cast sufficient doubt on the rationality of Defendants' hiring decisions to survive summary judgment.

IV.
In sum, the Court DENIES AS MOOT Plaintiffs' Motion to Strike [doc. # 108]. The Court also GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment [doe. # 86]. The Court enters the following orders:
1. The Court GRANTS summary judgment to all Defendants on the substantiveand fishes mature at smaller sizes (Sheridan & Bickford, [2011](#jfb14212-bib-0082){ref-type="ref"}). Reduced feeding rates and growth rates in hypoxia are documented in many fish species that maintain lower oxygen requirements by processing less food (Pichavant *et al*., [2001](#jfb14212-bib-0067){ref-type="ref"}). The combination of species redistribution and diminishing size is causing a global‐scale reduction in fish biomass (14 to 24%) and a shift away from lower latitudes (Cheung *et al*., [2013](#jfb14212-bib-0008){ref-type="ref"}).

Many species have high tolerance to severe hypoxia, thus may benefit as competitors and predators depart. Nematodes and annelids can be abundant sediment infauna in oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) regions exploiting accumulating organics from high surface productivity (Levin, [2003](#jfb14212-bib-0048){ref-type="ref"}). Gallo and Levin ([2016](#jfb14212-bib-0029){ref-type="ref"}) document 77 species of demersal fishes that are recorded in the most depleted parts (often with sulphide) of OMZ


exilis* (Jordan & Gilbert 1880) that has a similar O~2crit~ to the bearded goby (*c*. 0.3 ml l^−1^), but a lower metabolic rate (Chu & Gale, [2017](#jfb14212-bib-0011){ref-type="ref"}).

*Lyopsetta exilis* is a right‐eyed pleuronectid and the only species in the genus. As a native to the north east Pacific Ocean, the slender sole is known from the eastern Bering Sea to Baja California (Maslenikov *et al*., [2013](#jfb14212-bib-0057){ref-type="ref"}). While it ranges from 25 to 800 m depth, most adult occurrences are on the shelf and upper slope (AFSC, [2018](#jfb14212-bib-0001){ref-type="ref"}). The slender sole has attracted little fisheries research attention, as it has no value as a market fish because of its small size. Nonetheless, it can be numerically abundant. On both the shelf in southern California (at 290 m; Cross ([1987](#jfb14212-bib-0018){ref-type="ref"}) and Hixon and Tissot([2007](#jfb14212-bib-0038){ref-type="ref"}), respectively. The diet of slender sole taken off Oregon was mainly crustaceans that reflect a predominantly off‐bottom feeding habit although a few benthic prey were present (Pearcy, [1978](#jfb14212-bib-0064){ref-type="ref"}). In Saanich Inlet, on the southeast coast of Vancouver Island (48° 38′ N, 123° 30′ W), Yahel *et al*. ([2008](#jfb14212-bib-0098){ref-type="ref"}) report slender sole abundances high enough to create turbid plumes of suspended sediments at the depths where they feed on diel‐migrating zooplankton that intersect the bottom. Coincident with these dense fish aggregations was severely hypoxic water.

Water‐column oxygen in Saanich Inlet has a well‐described annual behaviour driven by deep‐water renewal (Hamme *et al*., [2015](#jfb14212-bib-0036){ref-type="ref"}). It is a naturally eutrophic fjord (Parsons *et al*., [1983](#jfb14212-bib-0063){ref-type="ref"}) where plankton blooms are caused by nutrient upwelling induced by strong spring--summer tidal mixing (Gargett *et


of right otoliths from both Saanich Inlet and Trincomali Channel. We completed the right otolith set at the University of Victoria. The clearest light‐to‐dark pattern usually occurred along, or near, the sulcus, but if the sulcus edge was damaged, the closest readable axis from core to margin was chosen. An annulus was defined as an opaque light band paired with a translucent dark band (under reflected light) that form 1 year of growth. A growth check was identified as a dark band that merged with an adjacent dark band and was not continuous around the otolith, therefore it was excluded from the age estimate. As fish from both sites were captured late in the year, marginal light (opaque) growth was assigned to the collection year and, using theJanuary 1st birthdate convention, estimated age was equal to the number of dark (translucent) growth zones observed. Otoliths were aged blindly, in random order. Both halves were aged in succession and a final age was determined if both halves produced the same age. If there was discrepancy between aged halves, the half with the clearest pattern was chosen as the final age. Von Bertalanffy growth curves were generated using Solver in Microsoft Excel (<http://www.microsoft.com>. All data for Saanich Inlet and Trincomali fish are provided in Supporting Information Table [S1](#jfb14212-supitem-0002){ref-type="supplementary-material"}.

2.5. Ichthyoplankton analysis {#jfb14212-sec-0007}
-----------------------------

Data were drawn from the ichthyoplankton survey dataset of the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI; <http://www.new.data.calcofi.org>) throughout the California Current System (CCS; records from Baja, Mexico to southern British Columbia); the objective was to test the


*Danio rerio* (Hamilton 1822) eggs exposed to brief anoxia (Robertson *et al*., [2014](#jfb14212-bib-0075){ref-type="ref"}).

While we did not examine gut contents in our study, a pilot project at the same site found pelagic crustaceans in nearly all slender sole examined (*n* = 30; T. Ingram pers. comm.). Similarly, King *et al*. ([2013](#jfb14212-bib-0046){ref-type="ref"}) reported that over 75% of slender sole stomachs in Strait of Georgia had small crustaceans such as copepods. We often saw slender sole darting off bottom, especially in swarms of migrating plankton; these movements resuspended sediments to the point of creating dense turbidity layers near bottom in severe (\<0.5 ml l^−1^) hypoxia (Katz *et al*., [2012](#jfb14212-bib-0043){ref-type="ref"}; Yahel *et al*., [2008](#jfb14212-bib-0098){ref-type="ref"}). Hypoxia intensity on the Saanich margins changes over the year, and mobile animals show strong responses as zooplankton adjustspecies based on temperature models; at a projected 24% thermal habitat gain (conservative scenario), the slender sole is in the upper quartile of species habitat gain in the model. However, with rising temperature comes reduced tolerance to hypoxia; thus, the slender sole may be better adapted to occupying new habitat.

We present empirical evidence that there is a cost to living in hypoxia: growth of slender sole is slower than the comparative population, and its average size in Saanich Inlet falls in the first quartile of the regional population. Clearly, the slender sole has reached physiological limits in severe hypoxia although the adaptations of small size, a low maintenance metabolism and very low critical oxygen pressure support its presence where nearly all other macrofauna are absent. We were not


Q:

How to overcome my ISP router limitations (1Gbps ports on 2Gbps connection)?

Here is my problem :
I recently switched to the quickest ISP available in my region : Orange.
It offers 2Gb/s FTTH internet connection, but the crappy provided router 'Livebox 5' only has 4 gigabit ethernet LAN ports and WiFi... so on a basic installation, i can only have a 1Gb/s access per machine directly connected to it !
I was able to confirm it's an "Integrated switch" limitation by connecting two computers to their router and downloading at 1Gb/s on both of them at the same time...
I also managed to get to 2Gb/s on a single Win10 machine by connecting two gigabit network cards directly to their router and using "Connectify Dispatch PRO" software to aggregate these links !
IOvulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

that Witness treats the Amish with respect and sympathy and prides itself on a realistic and respectful representation of their lifestyle. That’s no easy task when you’re trying to also make a big-budget crime thriller and have money-hungry studio execs to please.

Even during the movie’s mediocre stretches, Weir demonstrates his filmmaking talents. Take for instance the construction of the barn— a scene that highlights how the Amish community comes together to create something of beauty and how easily John Book has settled in with their lifestyle. It remains one of the film’s hallmark sequences and is often compared to the work of John Ford because of its masterful direction, gorgeous cinematography, and country setting.

The Climax

It’s impressive how Peter Weir managed to make a Hollywood crime thriller advocating peace[Lipid metabolism in Aspergillus niger under conditions of heat shock].
The processes of lipid synthesis and decomposition in Aspergillus niger under conditions of heat shock (HS) were studied in a pulse-chase experiment with 14C-labeled sodium acetate. HS (60 min) resulted in the synthesis of phospholipids and sphingolipids intensified compared tothe.control, as was evident from incorporation of the labeled substrate. The same pattern was observed for neutral lipids, especially for triacylglycerides, while incorporation of the label into sterols remained almost the same. Further cultivation for 3 h in the medium without the labeled substrate resulted in a significant decrease of the label content in the membrane lipids of both the control and the experiment, although under HS conditions this decrease was much more pronounced, especially for phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylethanolamines.

Members of the public will now have until the end of February to submit written comments.

CAPE TOWN - Parliament has granted the public an extension to lodge their submissions on legislation around land expropriation without compensation.

The ad hoc committee to initiate and introduce legislation amending Section 25 of the Constitution met for the first time on Thursday to discuss provincial public hearings.

The hearings start in February.

Land expropriation without compensation was back on Parliament’s agenda today after a lengthy break.

Members of Parliament (MPs) met for about two hours to discuss the process and also agreed to extend the time for submissions.

Committee chairperson Mathole Motshekga: "You, honourable members, are the people who have the deciding powers, so if after this deliberation you are of the view that we should extendthe period, then you are the competent authority to extend the period."

Opposition MPs like the ACDP's Steve Swarts agreed to the extension, but he said that two weeks would not be sufficient.

"The ACDP also in the last meeting expressed our concerns about submissions over the festive period and so we fully support the concept of extension for submissions to be filed."

Members of the public will now have until the end of February to submit written comments.


Q:

What is an array name in C? Constant?

K&R   says array name is not a variable and it cannot be used in constructions like a=pa or a++.
Then what is an array name? A constant?

A:

An array is not an assignable lvalue, which means it can't appear on the left side of an assignment or otherwise be modified.  Array elements, however, are assignable lvalues.
EDIT:
An lvalue has an address and can be referenced in multiple places.  So something like const int foo = 12; is still an lvalue, but not a modifiable one.
In contrast, a constant such as 7 or "hello" is an rvalue, meaning it cannot be referenced beyond that expression.  Expressions such as a + b or a + 1 are also rvalues.

The present invention relates to a preparation for external use containing a basic drug whose long-lasting action has been improved.
Dermal preparations for external use are excellent dosage forms permitting drugs to act directly on the sites of action and they find wide use.
As a general characteristic of preparations for external use, low absorption through the skin can be pointed out. Thus far, therefore, studies have been made of techniques for promoting drug absorption through the skin with the use of percutaneous absorption promoters. However, preparations for external use which use such percutaneous absorption promoters currently fail to obtain persistent effects.
As a method for allowing a drug to stay at the affected site to improve its long-lasting action, Japanese Patent Kokai Hei No. 10-265409 discloses a technique which involves

The main contributions of this work are (1) the integration of information of genetic elements regarding their levels of expression and biological functions during the optimisation of cluster quality indexes, and (2) the proposal of ad-hoc local search strategies that exploit both the memory mechanism and neighbourhood principles of Path-Relinking (PR) and Pareto Local Search (PLS) respectively, using a multi-objective approach. This work is tested against state of the art algorithms in order to show the benefits of both: using a multi-objective approach to tackle the clustering of expression data and the method proposed is able to discover clusters with more stronger co-relation and common biological properties than literature alternatives.

Conclusions {#Sec29}
===========

In this paper we have presented a multi-objective gene clustering algorithm called *MOC-GaPBK*. It includes external biological knowledge during the objective functions optimisation and it integrates intensification and diversification strategies based on both multi-objective Path-Relinking and Pareto Local Search.

Results show that *MOC-GaPBK* yields higher quality solutions than other clustering techniques considered here for comparison purposes. It is mainly to the strength of integrating a-priori biological knowledge with a multi-objective clustering approach and the use of intensification and diversification strategies. The first one allows having partitions with higher co-expression levels and biological coherence since cluster quality indexesLockdown day 10 in south-east London.

How To Mirror And Record Your Screen On Android Without Root

Koush – the genius behind ClockworkMod Recovery for Android – has just released a new Mirror app for Android 5.0 Lollipop which lets you mirror your screen on other devices, without requiring root access.

Recording your screen on Android has always been a pretty neat feature, but a vast variety of the methods have required root access. Mirroring your screen on another device, had the same requirement. Credit to Koush, Mirror has the ability to do both, record and mirror your screen on Lollipop without root access.

Those familiar with Koush’s work would know that Mirror is also an app that was released earlier with the same intents and purposes for older versions of the Android OS. This Mirror app50 years ago?

Demand side management is being avidly pursued today for many reasons. These reasons range from economics to pollution to climatology. We will begin first with a look at the reasons why policies intended to do exactly the opposite thing were advocated in the past.

The history of electrical power production has been marked by reductions in real price (inflation adjusted) as the technology and economies of scale improved. So as time passed, a given amount of electricity cost progressively less to produce.

As new power generation was added, more consumption was encouraged for at least two major reasons:

Investors who had created power plants wanted to see their commodity (electricity) valued highly, so they encouraged greater power usage. Energy usage is usually strongly correlated with economic growth. In planned


(or mixed) economies there were often significant subsidies on energy resources because of the powerful stimulating effect that low energy prices can have on an economy.

To put it in another way, in the past there were clear reasons for governments and many corporations to encourage greater power usage. We live in a different world today. The future of electricity is looking to be quite different from the past in this regard.

While real costs of electricity production historically fell for many decades, they are expected to rise in the coming decades. Also, the normally strong connection between increasing energy usage and increasing wealth is becoming very disputable, especially in the richest nations in the world.

Energy usage and wealth diverging?

As a simple illustration of why this may be so, seesome aspect of the power grid. People often convince themselves that nothing they personally do matters to society at large. This is clearly not the case when many people contribute to a central planning authority. For example, in the city of Toronto, the grid management company Toronto Hydro can use dispatchable demand management to reduce the load by 50 megawatts in a short time.

Demand management plus renewable energy

You may have been asking yourself, why are we talking about demand management in a publication named the Renewable Energy Review. The connection may not be clear, so we will spend a bit of time looking at why we believe demand management is incredibly important for a deep discussion of the possibilities for renewable energy in our world.

abstract: 'We investigate the hypothesis that Coulomb-type interactions between dark matter (DM) and baryons explain the anomalously low 21cm brightness-temperature minimum at redshift $z\sim17$ that was recently measured by the EDGES experiment. In particular, we reassess the validity of the scenario where a small fraction of the total DM is millicharged, focusing on newly derived constraints from Planck 2015 cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. Crucially, the CMB power spectrum is sensitive to DM–baryon scattering if the fraction of interacting DM is larger than (or comparable to) the fractional uncertainty in the baryon energy density. Meanwhile, there is a mass-dependent lower limit on the fraction for which the required interaction to cool the baryons sufficiently is so strong that it drives the interacting-DM temperature to the baryon temperature priortension between the BBN and CMB determinations of the baryon energy density. Future CMB-S4 measurements will be able to probe this scenario directly.'

title: Tighter Limits on Dark Matter Explanations of the Anomalous EDGES 21cm Signal
---

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

Recently, the Experiment to Detect the Global Epoch of Reionization Signature (EDGES) [@Bowman:2018yin], which targets the global 21cm signal, announced a detection of an absorption profile centered at $78\,{\rm MHz}$ (corresponding to redshift $z\!\sim\!17$ for 21cm line emission from neutral hydrogen), with a best-fit amplitude more than twice the maximum allowed in the standard cosmological model ($\Lambda$CDM). As predicted in Refs. [@Tashiro:2014tsa; @Munoz:2015bca], elastic scattering between dark matter (DM) and baryons with a Rutherford cross section ($\propto v^{-4}$, where $v$ is the


stands for the target particle, $\sigma_{0,t}$ is the cross section, $\rho_{\rm DM}$ is the density of all of DM, and we define $$\begin{aligned}
&r_t \equiv V_{\chi b} / u_{\chi t}, ~~~~~~u_{\chi t}\equiv\sqrt{T_\chi/m_\chi+T_b/m_t} \nonumber \\
&F(r_t)\equiv\left[\mathrm{Erf}\left(\frac{r_t}{\sqrt{2}}\right) - \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}} r_t e^{-r_t^2/2} \right]. \nonumber\end{aligned}$$ The temperature evolution equations are given by $$\begin{aligned}
  \dot{T}_\chi
  &=& -2\frac{\dot{a}}{a} T_\chi +\sum\limits_t\frac{2}{3}\frac{m_\chi \rho_t \sigma_{0,t}}{u_{\chi t}^{3}(m_\chi + m_t)^2}  \nonumber \\
  &\times&\left\{\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}} (T_b - T_\chi) e^{-r_t^2/2} +   m_t \frac{V_{\chi b}^2}{r_{t}^3}F(r_t) \right\} \label{eq:Tchi}\\
  \dot{T}_b
  &=& - 2\frac{\dot{a}}{a} T_b + \sum\limits_t\frac{2}{3}\frac{f_{\chi} \rho_t \rho_{\rm DM} \sigma_{0,t}}{u_{\chi t}^{3}(1+f_{H_e}+x_e)n_H(m_\chi + m_t)^2}  \nonumber \\
  &\times&\left\{\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}} (T_\chi - T_b) e^{-r_t^2/2}  + m_\chi  \frac{V_{\chi b}^2}{r_{t}^3} F(r_t) \right\}  \nonumber \\
  &+&\Gamma_C(T_{\rm CMB}-T_b), \label{eq:Tb}\end{aligned}$$ where $T_{\rm CMB}$ is the CMB temperature, and$\Gamma_C$ is the Compton scattering rate, which depends on $x_e\equiv n_e/n_H$ and $f_{\rm He}\!\equiv\!n_{\rm He}/n_H$, the free-electron and helium fractions. In the case of direct interaction with hydrogen, the sum is over a single target for which we replace $m_t$ by $m_H$, the hydrogen mass. Lastly, we need to include the evolution equation of the free electron fraction $x_e$, which directly depends on the baryon temperature $T_b$, $$\begin{aligned}
\frac{dx_{e}(z)}{dz}=\frac{C}{(1+z)H(z)}\bigg[\alpha_{H} x_e^2 n_H-\beta_{H}(1-x_e)e^{-\frac{h\nu_\alpha}{k_bT_{\rm CMB}}}\bigg], \nonumber \\
\label{eq:xe}\end{aligned}$$ where the coefficients $\alpha_H(T_b,T_{\rm CMB})$ and $\beta_H(T_{\rm CMB})$ are the effective recombination and photoionization rates, $\nu_\alpha$ is the Lyman-$\alpha$ frequency, and $C$ is the Peebles factor representing the probability for an electron in the $n = 2$ state to get to the ground state before being ionized [@AliHaimoud:2010dx]. We note that this derivation neglects the effects


Ref. [@Barkana:2018lgd], which adopted the phenomenological approach in Ref. [@Munoz:2015bca] and considered a direct interaction between the DM particles and the hydrogen gas, without a concrete particle physics model in mind. If DM interacts with neutral hydrogen, then weak cross sections—below the sensitivity of current CMB experiments—suffice in order to account for the EDGES signal. Barring a concrete model to explore in this case, we focused on the astrophysical uncertainties and illustrated that while it is possible for this phenomenological interaction to cool down the baryons to the desired level, the window for a realistic signal which incorporates all the sources of heating is at best limited.

The more motivated model from the particle-physics perspective is millicharged DM. As it scatters only with ionized particles, the interaction is suppressed during Cosmicf_{\chi}\lesssim 0.4\%$, particle masses $0.5\,{\rm MeV}-35\,{\rm MeV}$, and charge $10^{-6} e\lesssim\epsilon e\lesssim10^{-4} e$ (refer to Figure \[fig:DMMillichargeParamSpace\] for the precise range of viable charge fractions), the EDGES anomaly can in principle be explained (see our discussion of astrophysical uncertainties above).

Notably, in addition to explaining the EDGES measurement while evading CMB limits, a small fraction of DM which is tightly bound to baryons at recombination is a potentially interesting notion, as it could resolve the current tension between CMB and BBN measurements of the baryon energy density. While this component would appear as excess baryon energy density in the former, it would be missing from the latter, which is directly based on the deuterium abundance (and also arises from an earlier epoch where the interacting DM and the baryons may


not yet be strongly coupled). Comparing the two values, $\Omega_b h^2=0.0224\pm0.0001$ ([*Planck*]{} 2018 [@Aghanim:2018eyx]) vs. $\Omega_b h^2\simeq0.02170\pm0.00026$ (BBN, taking the average and larger uncertainty between the values found in two independent measurements [@Cooke:2017cwo; @Zavarygin:2018dbk]), they are discrepant at a $\gtrsim2\%$ level, which indeed could be alleviated if the fraction of this DM component is $f_\chi\!\sim\!0.4\%$. Importantly, CMB-S4 will probe down to $f_\chi\!\sim\!0.1\%$ [@paper1; @dePutter:2018xte], enabling a direct test of the DM explanation for the $\Omega_b$ discrepancy with BBN. (For alternative solutions, see Ref. [@Cooke:2017cwo].)

In conclusion, the DM interpretation of the EDGES anomaly (which awaits corroboration by other global 21cm experiments [@Voytek:2013nua; @Bernardi:2016pva; @Singh:2017gtp]), currently hangs on a thin thread. Fortunately, future experiments such as CMB-S4, as well as experiments targeting the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest power spectrum [@Dvorkin:2013cea; @paper1; @McDonald:2004xn] and the power spectrum ofare simply the step height $A_{\mathrm{i}}$ ($i$ stands for either “$\alpha$", “xe" or “X”), pivot redshift $z_{i0}$, and duration $\Delta z_i$ for each quantity. In practice, we hold eight of these parameters fixed and vary [*only*]{} the Lyman-$\alpha$ coupling amplitude $A_{\alpha}$. To approximately reproduce the EDGES absorption profile, we use the following set of fiducial values: $$\begin{aligned}
&\{A_{\alpha}, z_{\alpha0}, \Delta z_\alpha\}=\{100,17,2\} \nonumber \\
&\{A_{{\rm xe}}, z_{{\rm xe}0}, \Delta z_{\rm xe}\}=\{1,9,3\} \nonumber \\
&\{A_{X}, z_{X0}, \Delta z_X\}=\{1000\,{\rm K},12.75,1\} \nonumber\end{aligned}$$ We emphasize that the particular choice of values has no bearing on the conclusions of our investigation in Section \[sec:Astrophysics\]. Following Ref. [@Mirocha:2015jra], we define $x_{\alpha} \equiv 2 A_{\alpha}(z)/ (1 + z)$, add $d A_X(a)/da$ to Eq.  and $A_{\rm xe}(z)$ to Eq. . For the illustration in Figure \[fig:realSigma\], we vary $A_{\alpha}$ as a

For example, regionally specific deficits in energy metabolism in AD brains have been reported in a number of positron emission tomography studies (Kuhl, et al., J. Cereb. Blood Flow Metab. 7:S406, 1987; Grady, et al., J. Clin. Exp. Neuropsychol. 10:576-96, 1988; Haxby et al., Arch. Neurol. 47:753-60, 1990; Azari et al., J. Cereb. Blood Flow Metab. 13:438-47, 1993). Metabolic defects in the temporoparietal neocortex of AD patients apparently presage cognitive decline by several years. Skin fibroblasts from AD patients display decreased glucose utilization and increased oxidation of glucose, leading to the formation of glycosylation end products (Yan et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 91:7787-91, 1994). Cortical tissue from postmortem AD brain shows decreased activity of thegliosis and necrosis are not found. (Smale et al., Exp. Neurolog. 133:225-230, 1995; Cotman et al., Molec. Neurobiol. 10:19-45, 1995.) The consequences of cell death in AD, neuronal and synaptic loss, are closely associated with the clinical diagnosis of AD and are highly correlated with the degree of dementia in AD (DeKosky et al., Ann. Neurology 27:457-464, 1990).
Mitochondrial dysfunction is thought to be critical in the cascade of events leading to apoptosis in various cell types (Kroemer et al., FASEB J. 9:1277-87, 1995), and may be a cause of apoptotic cell death in neurons of the AD brain. Altered mitochondrial physiology may be among the earliest events in PCD (Zamzami et al., J. Exp. Med. 182:367-77, 1995; Zamzami et al., J. Exp. Med. 181:1661-72, 1995) and elevated reactive

Estimating the extent of conservation in genome macro-structure was more exhaustive in our study, because we identified a much enlarged set of orthologous mapped gene loci (over 200) between spruce and pine. Synteny and collinearity between the spruce and loblolly pine genomes were very high. Lower collinearity was noted with the maritime pine genome, which resulted from likely lower accuracy of the gene order based on the use of a smaller mapping population for this species [32]. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the organisation of the conifer gene space has been largely maintained over a period dating back 120 to 140 Mya, since the early diversification of Pinaceae in its main lineages in the Early Cretaceous


and angiosperms in the Late Carboniferous. Part of this expansion in the primitive land plants might be related to the major burst of duplications noted in transcription factors and coinciding with the water-to-land transition of plants [79]. Further studies implicating other divisions of green plants are needed to better comprehend the temporal dynamic of gene family expansions and reshuffling of the plant genome before the emergence of modern seed plants.Below

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

Vascular access failure is a crucial problem in chronic hemodialysis patients. Native arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts are used commonly for hemodialysis access. Autogenous AVFs are considered the vascular access of choice as defined by the National Kidney Foundation's Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative guidelines \[[@b1-cm-90-66]\]. Thrombosis is often caused either by associated vascular stenosis, which usually develops on the venous side of the shunt, or by venous thrombosis that occurs elsewhere in the same extremity, decreasing flow and increasing pressure \[[@b2-cm-90-66]\]. In the past, dysfunctional fistulas were preserved by surgical methods. Today, the vast majority of dysfunctional fistulas including stenosis and thrombosis of hemodialysis fistulas are treated by interventional approach \[[@b1-cm-90-66]\]. Currently, percutaneous treatment regimens of thrombosed fistulas are mechanical thrombectomy, pharmaco-mechanical thrombolysis and infusion thrombolysis.the time interval between initial intervention and vein thrombosis with failure of any endovascular technique, necessitating the creation of a new fistula, dialysis graft or catheter insertion.

All procedures performed in the study involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.

Statistical analysis
--------------------

Statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 17.0 statistical software for Windows (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). Kaplan Meier life table analysis was used for calculate patency of balloons. The information on patients and fistulas were retrospectively reviewed. The data are presented as mean standard deviation or the percentage. The outcomes including clinical success rates were determined by frequency.

Results
=======

A cohort


with primary patency was 55% (11/20) and in 12 months, patent AVF with primary patency was 40% (8/20) ([Figure 1](#f1-cm-90-66){ref-type="fig"}). The secondary patency rate at 12 months was 70% ([Figure 2](#f2-cm-90-66){ref-type="fig"}). Eight patients who had re-thrombosis after thrombo-aspiration and balloon angioplasty underwent re-intervention. But in 2 patients whose dialysis AVF circuit was occluded, percutaneus transluminal angioplasty was unsuccessful. We therefore inserted a tunneled cuffed catheter via the internal jugular vein until the time of the reoperation.

Contrast injection reveals clear clot burden over the distal part of the efferent vein. After retrograde aspiration of thrombus with catheter and additional balloon angioplasty, no residual of clot and stenosis was identified.

Discussion
==========

Thrombosis of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and arteriovenous graft (AVG) should be treated as soon as possible without unnecessary delay and withinour destination. As soon as you
have your PCS (Permanent Change of Station) order, make an
appointment with your local transport department. For those who are
moving on your own, decide if you are going to pack yourself or seek
services from a packing company. Call and make an appointment once
you know when you need to be out of your current lodgings. Make sure
your items are insured while in transit. If you do move yourself, to
save money go to big warehouse or grocery stores for used boxes.
You will still need to contact an international shipping company in
order to ship your belongings.

Vacating – I highly
advice hiring a cleaning service. We tried to clean our house before
leaving and we were too tired taking care of everything else. At the
last minute, we tried to book a cleaning service the day prior to
vacating the premises and I could not find one on such short notice.
Luckily, my Mom knew someone from church who was willing to clean
for a small fee.

Donate – Anything else
that you weren't able to sell at the moving sale, consider
donating items that can still be used. Not only are you recycling,
but it is also a tax write off. I also gave away a lot of food items
left in the pantry to family andbody, outside the bounds of the physical body, naturally, while
falling asleep. This causes far lighter and less noticeable energy
movement sensations - ie, not enough to disturb the 'falling asleep'
process. It is the presence of 'awake' consciousness during the projection
process which causes all the problems. It seems that maintaining two awake
and active copies of consciousness, both interior and exterior, requires a
great deal more energy flow than nature generally provides for, and this
in itself appears to be the real cause of heavy exit sensations. This is,
in other words, a true complication of consciousness, of spirit
incarnation into a bio-energetic vehicleu

I know this may sound like the same thing - a natural shift of 'falling
asleep' consciousness out of body, as when compared with a deliberate
shift of 'awake' consciousness out of body -


work, which promotes
energy body development. This is best done separately from actual
projection attempts. These exercises should be continued until energy
centres and their connecting pathways grow strong enough to handle the
stronger energy movements which happen during a conscious exit oobe.

LOST FOCUS DURING THE EXIT

A common cause of failed projection appears to be a failure to shift
the 'centre' of consciousness out of the physical body along 'with' the
real time double as it projects free of the physical body. It is extremely
important a projector keep their mind clear and focused on the action and
sensation of leaving their physical body, to go with it, and not to lose
touch with what is happening. Heavy exit sensations can make this
difficult, I know, but they must be 'totally' ignored. Stay focused on the
projection and wherecontrol and ignore
this fear, if only for a short time. Even if they still feel strong
feelings of fear, they can and must ignore these and go on with their OOBE
attempt. Once they get out of body, they'll have overcome the first great
barrier to OOBE and fear levels will be greatly reduced the next time they
get out. Becoming progressively more and more familiar with the out of
body environment, through multiple projections, is of the best ways of
overcoming this type of fear.

Getting out, if only briefly and for the very first time, is the most
important goal for any new projector. This will make the out of body
environment much more real and it will make it even more achievable next
time. Even if a projector only manages the conscious exit a couple


an increased understanding of the energy
body and how it works - with experience teaching me otherwise in this
case:)

After any type of energy work it is, traditionally, believed to be
important to close all energy centres that have been stimulated or opened.
While this idea appears to have some merit on the surface, I have come to
the conclusion it is a completely illogical practice. No localised
awareness action or visualised action can cause an energy centre (chakra)
to deactivate or close. This applies to any type of energy centre,
secondary or primary. Experience tells me that no matter how an awareness
action is performed at the site of an energy centre it will 'always' cause
stimulation. It is a mistake to think that any awareness or visualised
action can succeed at closing or deactivating an energy centre.point of any OOBE technique is to exteriorize bodily
awareness outside of the physical body to trigger the projection reflex
quickly, whilst the projector remains mentally awake. This, apparently
simple, awareness action can, however, be extremely difficult for most
people to maintain for more than a couple of seconds. If this is done only
briefly, however, over and over and rhythmically, for long enough, it will
also have the effect of triggering the projection reflex.

Following is the outline of a new technique I call YOYO. I have used
this myself and it seems to have almost as many good points as the Rope
technique, but most people find YOYO much easier. This method is a good
alternative if you are having trouble with ROPE. This can also be used as
a good preparatory exercise for an OOBE attempt.


reasoning ever since then, and have
thus had countless successful OBE's. Now, I always 'shout' my success
'savagely' in some way as I make the reentry. I hold the OBE memory very
strongly in mind and use a trigger phrase to enforce an effective memory
download, ie, "I did it!" or "My hands melted!" or etc. This works! I
always come to (wake up) with my trigger phrase on my lips, and with full
memory of my OBE. This really does make a world of difference.Christopher Marlowe

From Conservapedia

Christopher Marlowe (1564 - 1593) was an Elizabethan poet and playwright, considered by many to be second only to William Shakespeare as an Elizabethan tragedian. He is best known for The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, a play in which Doctor Faustus makes a deal with the Devil, exchanging his soul for knowledge and power.

Marlowe was born in Canterbury to John and Katherine Marlowe,[1] and was baptized on February 26, 1564 at St George's, Canterbury, two months before the birth of Shakespeare. In 1580, he entered Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, on a scholarship awarded to students preparing for a career in the ministry. In school, Marlowe began writing plays. In 1587, he applied to do his Master of Arts. The University attempted to deny him on


Urinary protein/creatinine ratio weighted by estimated urinary creatinine improves the accuracy of predicting daily proteinuria.
The spot urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) is proposed to be a substitute for 24-hour urinary protein (24h-UP). This study is aimed to determine whether the predictive accuracy of 24h-UP using UPCR can be improved by simply multiplying estimated daily urine creatinine excretion (eUCr) and UPCR together. This study enrolled 120 participants to investigate the correlation between spot UPCR and 24h-UP. Three sets of spot urine samples were randomly collected throughout the day and night, along with the first morning void. UPCR was weighted by eUCr to investigate the improvement of accuracy in using spot urine samples to predict 24h-UP. There were strong correlation and concordance between UPCR and 24h-UP irrespective of the time ofof the labor. Marx found that the special concept of 'organic composition of capital' was sometimes useful in analysis, since it assumes that the relative values of all the elements of capital are constant.

Hence, he starts Chapter 25 of Vol. I with:

(Marx & Engels Collected Works, Vol. 35, 607-8).

It should be kept in mind that in Book I of Capital, Marx made the simplifying assumption that all valuation was in terms of what is often called labor-values (and he called 'values'). In Book III, however, he showed that in capitalism the equilibrium values could not be his 'values'. The latter were only equilibrium values in his pre-capitalist 'Simple Commodity Production', where the producers owned their means of production and natural resources were used freely. In Book III, first


variables over long periods are also susceptible to errors and distortions. The owners of a business may not even know exactly what the physical assets they use are currently worth, or what their business is currently worth, as a going concern. That worth is hypothetical until such time as the business is sold and paid for. However, the modern trend in official accounting standards is certainly for assets to be valued more and more at their current market value, or current replacement cost, rather than at historic (original acquisition) cost.

In addition, during severe economic slumps, physical capital assets are subject to devaluation, lie idle or are destroyed, while workers become unemployed; the empirical effect is to reduce the organic composition of capital. Likewise, non-profitable war production can also1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to all electromagneto-mechanical converter having a number of winding teeth composed of a material which is suitable for carrying a magnetic flux of a magnetic circuit. The winding teeth each have a winding supporting element for holding a winding and an attachment region which is intended for attaching the winding tooth to a yoke of the electromagneto-mechanical converter.
2. Description of the Related Art
Electromagneto-mechanical converters are rotating electrical machines which, using a magnetic field, can either convert electrical energy into mechanical energy using the motor principle, or can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy using the generator principle.
Electrical machines such as these, which may, for example, be in the form of synchronous machines or asynchronous machines, have a stationary part, which


teeth and the yoke has an air gap in places. A disadvantage of this solution is that winding teeth and the yoke are damaged in the region of the boundary surface due to the inadvertent production of a short-circuit, as already stated further above, which prevents the magnetic flux from passing from the winding teeth to the yoke without losses. The magnetic flux (which is cried in the radial direction with respect to the yoke) in the winding region passes directly into the attachment region, and from there to the yoke. In the process, the magnetic lines of force necessarily cross over the attachment region (which is damaged by the stamping process) of the winding tooth and yoke, which males it considerably more difficult for the lines ofand the application. An appropriately chosen taper angle xcex1 allows the self-locking to be chosen to be sufficiently large to allow the transverse forces acting on the attachment region of the winding tooth to be minimized.
The electromagneto-mechanical converter is advantageously in the form of a synchronous machine, in particular a permanent-magnet synchronous machine.
The configuration of a winding tooth according to the invention as described above will now be explained with reference to a specific example, although the invention is not limited to his specific embodiment.
If the attachment apparatus is in the form of a clamping device, the winding tooth can be connected to a yoke via, for example, a latching connection or a snap-action connection. In order to ensure such a connection, the attachment region may include fine

Ahh, Ole Miss. They never quite seem to blow you away with their talent, but trust me when I say that they deserve to be here this year. Their rise to #6 was really aided by the fall of TCU and Texas — who did little to maintain their positioning. Ole Miss had some talent pop up during the year that helps vindicate their ranking. They are take-home-to-mom hot. Always solid, but never going to compete for the crown — just like Ole Miss football.

elebrated NBC News anchor Tamron Hall has been ousted from NBC News, reports Deadline. According to several rumors and reports, The Today Show anchor was bumped to make room for Megyn Kelly, who previously anchored at Fox News.

Last week’s announcement that Kelly would be leaving stirred up controversy and questions regarding the placement of Hall and Al Roker, who previously led the 9 a.m. hour together. With Hall’s departure, Roker will host the third hour slot solo until Kelly begins her tenure.

NBC News released the following statement in regards to the announcement:

There are a number of things wrong with the nitty-gritty fine detail of Production Line’s design. I don’t mean easily adjusted stuff like ‘this costs too much’ or ‘that happens too quickly’, but actual design issues that may require me to change the way some of the mechanics work. Here is an explanation and some background:

Production Line is a car game where cars move along a production line from one ‘slot’ to another, and new components such as doors, engines, wheels etc get added at each slot. Different cars may be different designs, meaning they get a different series of components added. For example all cars get wing-mirrors added, but some get heated wing-mirrors, some get heated+folding wing-mirrors, and so on. Where I have gone wrong is thiscars, he/she could specify what to keep in stock instead, giving the player micro-management. The downside is this will not work AT ALL if you go BBBBBLLBBBBBLL, and thus the local ‘caching’ demands change. Plus its rife with the possibility of bugs, and confusion.

Solution D: Allow automatic ‘flushing’ of unused resources in a stockpile.

If I order 5 chunks of aluminium for a body-shell, and then take the effort to order another 11 to fill my stockpile, but the next car doesn’t use aluminium, I should immediately flush (probably refund) all those spare aluminium chunks the minute I realize this. This would eliminate a current ‘blocking’ problem, but mean that if my cars go BLBLBLBL (where L uses aluminium), I am constantly wrong-ordering and flushing. In a sense, this


many units. The project commenced in 1969 under the guidance of the Ministry of Light Industry, drawing upon the resources of Shanghai Clock & Watch Industry Company, Shanghai Watch Factory, Shanghai No. 2 Watch Factory, Tianjin Clock & Watch Factory, Beijing, Liaoning, Guangzhou & Xi'an Hongqi Watch Factories, Xi'an Fenglei Meters & Watch Company, together with the Clock & Watch Research Institute of the Ministry of Light Industry in Xi'an, and the technicians and scholars of timing instruments of Tianjin University. The group studied many foreign watch designs and combined merits of them for the prototype SZ-1. Blueprints were finalized in November 1971. The resultant design most closely resembles the Enicar AR1010, found in one of the limited range of Swiss watches sold in China at that time,was the predominantly produced watch movement in China until sometime in the 1980s, its manufacture was not immune to the quartz crisis of the watch industry that occurred during that decade; changes in economic policy, replacement designs, factory closings, and the re-purposing of a number of Chinese watch-producing facilities would contribute to declines in its manufacture. Furthermore, the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997 (until then, Hong Kong had been producing its own movements, both quartz and mechanical)) also reduced the dominance of the Chinese Standard Movement in terms of numbers manufactured.

Current Production

The movement is frequently seen today in its skeletonized and simple automatic variants in watches whose list prices range between U$10–100. The quality of a majority of movements has declined significantly since its initial


Q:

test rxjava callback function

I'm trying to test the code written in callback function of one of Rxjava operator. Here is the original code that I want to test
@Override

    UserDataStore userDataStore = userDataStoreFactory.createCloudDataStore();
    return userDataStore.getUsers().map(userEntityDataMapper::transform);
}

list, but continued Eileen, “The third one, we drove up and I took a look and I went, ‘Can we just take a few minutes? I need to go inside and look at this house. This is worth looking at.’”

Sure enough, the house spoke to Eileen and Adam. They told the owners that they were entertaining out-of-town guests for a couple of hours but, “’We’d like to put an offer in on the house so don’t sell it out from under us,’ and we gave them our information and we lucked out in that our offer was accepted.”

“When I got to the second floor and was in one of the bedrooms I had this flash of ‘I could imagine our future children in here and playing and looking


dumpster so he asked the project foreman if he could have them. “I don’t have a real big yard so I pursued it. I grabbed all the scraps they had in the dumpster, hauled ‘em home.”

According to Gene, the project foreman warned him that installing artificial turf would be a lot of work. “I watched them put it down; the way they were doing it and said, ‘I can do that myself.’”

Gene learned quickly that replacing his entire yard with field turf was a big project, with many steps, starting with removing the grass. “I took four to six inches of black dirt out. I threw it on the boulevard out there,” he said pointing toward the street, “and I put a sign ‘Free Topsoil’. I couldn’t getaround there,’ I said. ‘It ain’t gonna’ hurt it.’”

Gene has some extra fun in the winter. When it snows, he clears part of the yard with his snow blower. “I blow out there on the boulevard. I don’t have to but I do it just for the heck of it. I get more people stopping by, looking, doing a double-take. Everything is white around here and I’ve got this green yard sitting out here.”

Gene talked about an incident several years ago that still made him laugh. It was New Year’s Eve and the family was over and they saw a flash outside. According to Gene, “One of the kids said, ‘Dad! Is it lightning out?’ And I said, ‘I don’t think so.’ So I went outside and there


was a lady sitting there on the grass and her husband was taking pictures of her.”

The woman told Gene, “‘Your son told us where you live. We had to stop by and see it.’” Gene laughed as he recalled the incident.

Another unorthodox aspect to Gene’s house is the clock mounted on the peak, which more than 10 years ago replaced a black cast iron eagle. “Birds kept building nests in there and poop kept coming down my windows. So I went up there and put some barbed wire in there and didn’t help. They still built nests, so I got rid of that.”

Gene worked at the Saint Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch newspapers for 24 years and he told me about the clock and a co-worker, writer Chuckwork with business professionals was a bonus for the participants, but the local leaders were inspired by the students as well.

David Miller, chairman of Brightway Insurance and United Way’s Upstream lead investor said, “They are the types of individuals who possess the same dedication, diligence and creative thinking as my top recruits, and I look forward to continuing to engage with similar out-of-the-box thinkers next year.”

Projects were evaluated by Miller and other local leaders including: Russ Thomas, CEO of Availity LLC; Audrey Moran, senior vice president for social responsibility and community advocacy at Baptist Heath; Rena Coughlin, president of The Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida; Carlton Robinson, senor director of entrepreneurial growth division of the JAX Chamber; and The Honorable Linda McCallum, Fourth Circuit Court Judge.

Among these nurses, only 42 (37%) were caring for at least 1 patient for the treatment of hepatitis C by interferon. In the 16 months before the survey, these 42 nurses had cared for 135 patients.

harvest index, and grain yield under both terminal drought and fully irrigated conditions in 29 introgression lines with different stay-green QTLs in two backgrounds. They concluded that StgB and Stg1 modify the TE and water extraction depending on the background. Stay-green QTLs decrease the canopy size before flowering to conserve soil water for use during grain filling; the increased water uptake during grain filling in stay-green NILs relative to the non-stay-green parent RTx7000 resulted in higher biomass production, grain number, and yield \[[@B5], [@B30]\]. Moreover, Jaegglia \[[@B31]\] explained that tiller leaf area rather than transpiration efficiency, or transpiration per leaf area, was the main driver of weekly transpiration and the reduced pre-flowering water use in stay-green lines. According to Vadez and Borrell \[[@B5], [@B9], [@B30]\], the differences inthe variation observed in the GY of stay-green BILs tested under normal and moderate or severe drought condition. Ongom \[[@B46]\] suggested that plants with high remobilization could perform well under post-flowering drought. Under severe drought, PR and RCC at GF and M could be good indicators for high GY. Furthermore, PR had a positive association with GLA only under W~50~, and this may explain its role under severe drought and could be explained by the findings of Swain \[[@B47]\]; that is, variation in photosynthesis is associated with leaf protein content.

The GLA and RCC were correlated at WD, GF, and M under W~100~, W~75~, and W~50~ and were not correlated with the GY ([Figure 6](#fig6){ref-type="fig"}). These findings indicate that higher leaf senescence is due to higher translocation of food


chlorophyll content in SPAD units (RCC), relative number of green leaves/plants (GN), green leaf area (GLA), transpiration rate (TR), and photosynthesis rate (PR). PR and TR were measured at one week before drought (WD), mid-grain filling (GF), and late-grain filling (LGF) whereas RCC, GN, and GLA were measured at WD, GF, and maturity (M).](BMRI2018-7082095.006){#fig6}

Grain yield, percentage (%) over TAB, biomass, harvest index, and plant height of the six stay-green introgression lines and their parents evaluated under control conditions (W~100~, 100% soil field capacity) and two post-flowering drought conditions (W~75~, 75%; W~50~, 50% soil field capacity).

It is approximated that the daily intake of purines by adults in the United States is anywhere between 600-1000 milligrams of purine. Even though this is considered as an approximation, the figures could be higher or lower, but the important thing for every gout sufferer is to watch what they take and be sure that they do not contain high levels of purines.

But as you concentrate on the diet, it is worth pointing out that there is a difference between how plant and animal purines impact the production of uric acid and their consequences in the body as far gout is concerned. This is according to a study conducted on these


phosphate, whereas Ce13d binds only one Na+ ion in a well-defined Na+ aptamer, and this Na+ ion does not directly interact with the scissile phosphate. Both DNAzymes display a normal pH-rate profile, with a single deprotonation reaction required for catalysis. For EtNa, Na+ fails to protect the conserved nucleotides from dimethyl sulfate attack, and no specific Na+ binding is detected by 2-aminopurine fluorescence, both of which are different from those observed for Ce13d. This work suggests that EtNa binds Na+ mainly through its scissile phosphate without significant involvement of the nucleotides in the enzyme strand, whereas Ce13d has a well-defined aptamer for Na+ binding. Therefore, DNA has at least two distinct ways to achieve highly selective Na+ binding.permitting service animals in their *158 stores, that both stores had signs out front welcoming service animals, that all employees received at least some training on allowing individuals with service animals to enter the stores, and that, in response to the incidents involving the plaintiff, the defendants conducted further training on the issue to avoid any similar problems in the future. Id. at 125. Based on this evidence, the District Court granted summary judgment in favor of defendants because there was "no indication in the record" that the plaintiff would likely suffer discrimination on account of her disability at the defendants' stores in the future and the plaintiff thus lacked standing to obtain injunctive relief. Id. at 126. Stan, therefore, does not stand for the proposition that so


long as a disabled individual is permitted to shop (or eat), she cannot have suffered injury under the ADA. Rather, Stan holds simply that summary judgment is warranted where all the evidence in the record demonstrates that the defendants have taken all necessary steps "to ensure that no individual with a disability is excluded, denied services, segregated or otherwise treated differently than other individuals." 42 U.S.C. § 12182(b)(2)(A)(iii). Here, there is no such evidence  as this was a motion to dismiss  and it is reasonable to infer from the allegations of the complaint that defendants did not adopt the kind of policies or provide the type of employee training that would ensure that Camarillo would not suffer discrimination upon returning to their establishments.

BUILDS?

Things you should know how todo before you ready my example stats guide:-YourStr should ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, be a multiple of 10 including yourbonus from job/equips/buffs. So an example would be 120+20 or 115+15.

-Make sure your dex is added before you attribute agi for dual daggers

-Youragi should ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, be attributed with buffs andawakening potions so that you only put in ENOUGH FOR YOUR LAST ATK SPDPOINT. An example of this is if I had a Sinx with 120+ 25 from buffsand equipment and his atk spd is 189 with awakening. Attribute as muchas you want UP TO that attack speed point! So if I wanted 191 I'dslowly add until I


get 191 attack spd.

The block size debate was particularly messy and ultimately led to a “hard fork” in which the community split into two blockchains – Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. Similarly, when the Ethereum community was divided over how to handle a major security breach, one camp ultimately hard forked into Ethereum Classic.

While lack of a central authority is one of the major tenants of the decentralized movement in which Bitcoin and Ethereum are built, the instability that comes from effectively having no one in charge makes large enterprises uneasy. Thus, VechainThor has a more formalized system for making decisions that comes in a form that modern enterprises
