Ecosystem Crediting Platform

Abstract:

The Willamette Partnership (www.willamettepartnership.ecosystemcredits.org) and the Pinchot Institute’s Bay Bank (www.baybank.ecosystemcredits.org) co-developed the recently-released Ecosystem Credit Platform (ECP). This web-based software application leads conservation project developers step-by-step through the credit creation process – including required phases and protocols for assessing existing conditions, estimating the benefits of different restoration alternatives, quantifying these benefits as credits, verification, agency approval and tracking over time. The end products of the ECP are certified ecosystem service credits that may then be listedon a registry. The ECP is a flexible platform that can be customized to the unique needs of other programs or regions providing credit development standardization, cost-savings and rapid deployment via a shared resource.

ultimately leading to a few siloed markets that are not necessarily yielding the ecological or social outcomes that market developers are seeking.

Accordingly, there is increasingly a focus on the role ecosystem services and markets can play in improving land use planning processes. In truth, this movement is both bottom-up and top-down. Market advocates are increasingly recognizing the opportunities land use planning processes can provide for achieving more comprehensive landscape improvement. Meanwhile land use planners are gaining exposure to ecosystem service concepts, and are increasingly considering how those concepts can improve land use planning outcomes.

This session will elicite discussion on the evolution of ecosystem services and market concepts into land use planning from a variety of perspectives.

supply-side data is available and price discovery data will be less mature. If agricultural producers determine the market signal to be adequate, their trading entry application creates more supply-side information. Over time this leads to price discovery that can be addressed with either bi-lateral contracts or ideally through a truer commodity market trading platform. In summary, the basis for market entry is a resource management level and credit trading parameters based on an increase in the water quality score, or a more tangible market signal such as a payment per acre-foot of water stored during seasonal highs and released during seasonal lows.

Rather, when the Fund makes investments in a company, it also takes control of majority ownership, the Board of Directors and key executive management positions to ensure proper business leadership and commercial success. In the case of the JPF Fund and its investment in Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation, the application of this model has led to the company obtaining an executed term sheet and Preliminary Power Purchase Agreement, the projected revenues for which would exceed one billion dollars.

Department of Defense owns or controls an estimated 29,000,000 acres of land in the United States. Much of this land is concentrated in large installations located in rapidly-urbanizing areas, where it represents the “habitat of last resort” for many threatened and endangered species. Large segments of these installations and training ranges are maintained in their natural state to serve as training and buffer areas, providing ecosystem-scale biodiversity, water sources, air cleansing, and carbon sequestration. Identifying, improving, and leveraging the ecosystem services values of military lands can provide mutual benefits for public agencies, private conservation organizations, and the military.

a few studies reported problems in multiple social brain regions. Furthermore, no reported study has provided evidence as to whether the brain regions that exhibit reduced gray matter volume actually constitute the network in adults with ASD.

These inconsistent findings across structural MRI studies in adults with ASD may be explained by confounding factors such as language impairments, which are major and heterogeneous in ASD (for reviews, see [@B19]; [@B71]). Language anomalies (e.g., language delay) are included in the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Diseases 10 ([@B110]) and in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) ([@B4]); however, they are not included in the DSM-5 ([@B5]). For the first two diagnostic systems, individuals with and without language/communication impairments, in addition toindividuals with Asperger's disorder and 15 (4 females, 11 males) with PDD-NOS; both of these diagnoses are included within the ASD category in the DSM-5 ([@B5]). As defined in the DSM-IV-TR ([@B4]), PDD-NOS includes the heterogeneous subtypes of ASD, ranging from so-called atypical autism to a subgroup with symptoms milder than those of Asperger's disorder (i.e., satisfying fewer diagnostic criteria than required for a diagnosis of Asperger's disorder). In this study, only high-functioning PDD-NOS participants with milder symptoms than those associated with Asperger's disorder were included. The diagnosis was made using the DSM-IV-TR via a stringent procedure in which every item of the ASD diagnostic criteria was investigated in interviews with participants and their parents (and professionals who helped them, if any) by at least two psychiatrists with


expertise in developmental disorders. Only participants who met at least one of the four social impairment items (i.e., impairment in nonverbal communication including lack of joint attention, sharing interest, relationship with peers, and emotional and interpersonal mutuality) without satisfying any items of the criteria of autistic disorder, such as language delay, were included. Comprehensive interviews were administered to obtain information on the participant's developmental histories for diagnostic purposes. Neurological and psychiatric issues other than those associated with ASD were ruled out. Participants were not taking medication. The intelligence quotients (IQs) of all participants in the ASD group had been assessed at other facilities and were reported to be within the normal range. Participants who agreed to newly undergo IQ tests (*n* = 33) were assessed using the revised(Asperger's disorder vs. PDD-NOS) using these predefined thresholds. The clusters that showed significant group difference (TD \> ASD) were used as an inclusive mask.

The brain structures were labeled anatomically according to the Automated Anatomical Labeling atlas ([@B100]) included in the MRIcron software^[5](#fn05){ref-type="fn"}^ and the probabilistic cytoarchitectonic atlas included in the SPM Anatomy toolbox^[6](#fn06){ref-type="fn"}^ ([@B34]). Corresponding Brodmann's areas were also identified using the MRIcron software. The group difference in gray matter volume was illustrated by plotting the gray matter values extracted at the peak voxels after adjusting for the effects of no interest by regressing out age- and sex-related variance.

To identify the brain network associated with group differences, we performed PLS ([@B68]) using PLSGUI^[7](#fn07){ref-type="fn"}^. The normalized images of the gray matter corrected for intracranial volume (i.e., m0 image in


gray matter volume at the peak voxel. Effects of no interest (sex and age) were cavaried out.](fnhum-11-00395-g001){#F1}

--------------

To identify the brain network (i.e., the sets of correlated voxels) associated with the group differences, PLS analysis was performed for the gray matter images. The results revealed that the first LV showed significant discrimination between the groups (*p* = 0.003; **Figure [2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}**) and explained 100% of the crossblock covariance. The spatial distribution of brain voxels that negatively weighted on this LV (i.e., ASD \< TD) included all of the social brain regions that showed group differences in the above regional gray matter volume analyses (i.e., the right IOG, left FG, right MTG, bilateral amygdala, right IFG, right OFC, and left DMPFC).

Camden area which is the birthplace of the Australian wool industry. Built by James Chisholm in , Gledswood remained the Chisholm family residence for 90 years. A prominent feature at Gledswood is an outstanding colonial garden that was expanded in 1870. The garden featured in Horticultural Magazine (1870) and was romanticised by Hardy Wilson in 1920. The intense and continual interest in gardening at Gledswood has made Gledswood a prominent contributor to the art of gardening within NSW.

Gledswood has historical significance for its association with the early development of Australia's wine industry. James Chisholm junior planted a vineyard in 1830, and in 1847 vinedressers from Germany were imported to work it. A convict built cellar under the homestead was capable of holding 20,000 bottles of wine.

Gledswood was listedicon sizes and coordinates when drawing on the secondary monitor.  Likewise, if it has used the DPI of the secondary monitor, apps wouldn't be able to do pixel-perfect positioning on the primary.  Using double the higher DPI and then downscaling is probably a reasonable compromise if you look at all the interactions with GDI drawing (ClearType), Direct2D, mouse and pointer messages, etc.
If your app were per-monitor DPI aware, I suspect you'd get true values across the board.


a discussion with them explaining his problems, and how they might be noticed in his behavior. For example, he might repeat certain things, or ask the same questions again, and they should ignore this and not make fun of him. After that, despite his behavior he was accepted as part of the class.

I asked what if anything had helped Auggie, the protagonist of the “Wonder” story. My granddaughter explained that it was the fact that two boys in the class befriended him. This gave Auggie needed support, and also became a model for other children as well. The school principal also made a difference. Children were sent to the principal when their behavior was offensive, and they were made to apologize. Apologies were hard for some kids becauseof "stopgap" or backup makes absolutely no sense. Why on earth would you give away draft picks for a guy who you don't want on the field? Can the Chiefs seriously not find a veteran backup in free agency? If the ideal is that the guy never sees the field and is there to "mentor" a rookie QB while holding a clipboard... why can't the Chiefs do what, yanno, every other team in the league does and SIGN a guy to do that? Matt Moore and Jason Campbell have had some solid moments as well... is Smith really THAT MUCH BETTER than them that we should trade assets AND pay him twice as much?

"...is Smith really that much better than them....?"

And as far as the "stopgap" argument goes...


Tanglin Secondary School

Tanglin Secondary School is a Government secondary school in Clementi, Singapore.

History

Tanglin Technical Secondary School (1964 - 1993)
Tanglin Secondary School which was located at 369 Commonwealth Avenue in the area called Tanglin Halt was officially opened by Mr Ong Pang Boon, Minister of Education, on 16 October 1964. It was Singapore’s first technical school, and the first institution in Singapore to admit female students to technical courses. It was renamed Tanglin Technical Secondary School in 1969. The school motto was in Malay, “Berusaha Untok Berjaya”, of which translates to the same meaning as the current motto in English.

Perhaps the most crucial element of an effective charity is having the right culture. And one element of that, says Moore, is a desire for self-improvement.

“You have to constantly examine what you do,” he says. “Always ask how you can do better. You always have to have new ideas. And check you have the right data. You need to have a barometer for how people feel about you.”

Readability of code.
Likelyhood of causing a bug (i.e. are off-by-one errors more common with certain for-loop usage or while loop usage).

You can use a loop also for counters, they are also some kind of iteration.
You should however avoid loops like this:

Also try to avoid continue and break statments in the loop, as they make the code hard to read and to debug.

A new technique prepares donor neural stem cells and grafts them into an older brain. The work hints at the possibility of replacing brain cells and restoring memory.

Researchers took neural stem cells and implanted them into the hippocampus—which plays an important role in making new memories and connecting them to emotions—essentially enabling them to regenerate tissue. The findings, from work with rats, appear in the journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine.

“We chose the hippocampus because it’s so important in learning, memory, and mood function,” says Ashok K. Shetty, professor in the department of molecular and cellular medicine, associate director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine, and his team at theQ:

In a major milestone, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on Thursday successfully tested a crew escape module from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. This is a major milestone in the direction towards a manned mission.

The test was a very critical part of the ISRO manned space mission. The escape module helps astronauts in the time of emergency when the rocket fails or explodes.

“The system is an emergency escape measure designed to quickly pull the crew to a safe distance from the launch vehicle in the event of a launch abort. The first test (Pad Abort Test) demonstrated the safe recovery of the crew module in case of any exigency at the launch pad,” the ISRO said in a statement.

Alcor can take possession of the deceased, clients donate their bodies to the organization for scientific study.

But not everyone can afford life insurance, and life insurance companies have a habit of staying away from people with terminal illnesses. In 2013, Kim Suozzi, a 23-year-old neuroscience student, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. “I want to be cryogenically preserved when I die from brain cancer but can’t afford it,” she wrote before her death. “I am literally begging for financial help.” A group called the Society for Venturism launched a fundraising campaign on Suozzi’s behalf, and Alcor eventually took it on as a charity case.

“We want to combat this idea that we’re freezing dead bodies,” More says. Alcor’s patients are “basically in a deep coma, but without any metabolism,”offering—and in fact, we even provide our clients with a lengthy list of all the things that could go wrong.”

A surprising number of things can and do go wrong, from the moment death is declared to the lowering of a body into the shiny dewar.

Prior to cryopreservation, a recently deceased patient is placed in an ice water bath, and blood circulation and breathing are artificially restored by a heart-lung resuscitator (HLR). This image shows a model that’s used to demonstrated the process.

With advance warning of death, a standby team is dispatched to wait until clinical death has been declared. Within seconds, the patient is placed in an ice bath to start cooling, and a mechanical respirator is used to restart circulation. The goal is to maintain normal bodily

It's insulting, just another calculated Rove-style marketing gimmick.

initially, the entire population analyzed is susceptible to contamination by the disease.

The Brazilian situation until March 22 had more than 1,500 confirmed cases of infection, with 25 cases of death from the disease [@7]. The exponential growth of infection cases reveals the need to develop studies related to the behavior of epidemics in order to stabilize the current scenario, as well as to allow the advance in the development of tools that permit analyzing the behavior of epidemics in the future from the first cases. Other relevant impact of such studies is that they provide concrete justifications for the effectiveness and awareness related to social distancing policies. The paper is divided in sections. The second section reviews the original formulation of the SIR model. The third section presents the


a result of social isolation measures. So that, for the instant $\tau$, it follows $$\frac{dI(\tau)}{dt}=\frac{\alpha I(\tau)S(\tau)(1-\rho(\tau)-k_{\tau})}{N}-\beta I(\tau).$$

One way to estimate the value of $k_{\tau}$ in this case is to make the number of new contaminated individuals null, i.e.

$$\frac{\alpha I(\tau)S(\tau)(1-\rho(\tau)-k_{\tau})}{N}=0,$$ and therefore $$(1-\rho(\tau)-k_{\tau})=0,$$

$$k_{\tau}=1-\rho(\tau)=1-\rho_{0}(1-\Delta \rho)^{\tau}.
    \label{9}$$

This condition does not guarantee that new contamination will cease to occur completely, since it would be necessary to keep the entire infected population in isolation, which is not taken into account by the model, and may often not be a measurable data from the country’s statistics. In theory, if all people infected by the epidemic are known, then it would not be necessary that the social isolation condition to extend to the susceptible population. However, in cases where an emerging epidemicThe effects of changes in the meal providing system on emergency shelter menus following the Great East Japan Earthquake.

In total, 386 emergency shelters participated in the dietary survey of one day in April 2011. We examined the meal providing system (the frequency of meals per day, the frequency of mass feeding for evacuees per day, and menu creators) and the menus at each emergency shelter (260).

Citizens elect mayors and municipal governments to plan for the public good, and this occasionally requires making some very tough, unpopular decisions.

Although unconfirmed by Cinemax, TVLine has learned exclusively that Banshee‘s upcoming eight-episode fourth season will be the show’s last.

I’m told producers have known for some time that that end was near, and, as a result, were able to craft an “epic” conclusion to the series.

high temperature approximation) the one loop free energy, that there is a phase transition from a membrane phase to a clustered phase. However an IR cutoff was crucial for the calculation. The motivation for the IR cutoff is roughly that the $D0$ branes are actually bound (albeit marginally) and so one expects them to be localised.   Two $D0$ brane potential, at finite temperature, studied in [@Bal; @Ambjorn] shows possibility of bound state.  Our aim in this paper is to redo the one-loop analysis carefully without approximations.   The net result reaffirms the result of [@Bala], but with some modifications in the analytical expressions.  Interestingly an additional phase transition is found [*back to the string phase*]{}.  The one-loop partition function of strings from matrix model [@Verlinde] was also studiedregions near the D0 branes, where the dilaton profile corresponds to a large value of $g_s$. If we include the low energy (IR) region in the configuration space of the Yang-Mills (matrix model) theory, we are forced to include the effects of finite $g_s$.  The IR cutoff is an additional parameter that signifies our ignorance of (large) strong coupling effects.  With an IR cutoff we can maintain $g_s$ at a finite (small) but non-zero value.   What actually happens in this region (i.e. close to D0 branes) due to strong coupling effects of large $g_s$ is not fully known, but as mentioned above  [@Nemani] has a plausible proposal based on entropy arguments.  The suggestion is that a finite size horizon develops.  This if true, vindicates the introduction of


an IR cutoff. Note that another way of making the functional integral finite is to give a mass to the scalar fields - thereby removing the zero mode. The matrix model corresponding to the BMN pp wave limit [@Berenstein] in fact has such a mass term with the mass being a free parameter. This is reminiscent of the N=1\* theories studied in [@Polchinski2] and these techniques have been applied to the BMN matrix model [@Lin]. We can therefore take an agnostic attitude regarding the origin of the cutoff and treat it as the extra parameter necessary to match with string theory for finite $g_s$. It should correspond to the fact that the D0-brane bound state must have a finite size. This is not easy to see in thecalculation we have, $$A^9 = \frac{1}{2 \pi \widetilde{\alpha}'} \sum_{n = - \infty}^{\infty} \exp (inx
  \frac{L_9}{\widetilde{\alpha}'}) X_{0 n}^9$$ Where $X_{00}^9 = \widetilde{L}^9 p$ is the original $D$$0$ brane matrix of uncompactified theory.  Thus $D_x$ is given by $$D_x = \partial_x \otimes I + I \otimes \frac{\widetilde{L}^9}{\widetilde{\alpha}' N} \partial_q$$ which acts on eigen-functions $$\label{eigen}
  e^{ir \frac{x}{\widetilde{L}_9^{\ast}}} e^{imp} e^{inq}$$ with eigen values $\frac{rN + n}{N\widetilde{L}_9^{\ast}}$.  This action(\[action\_bala\]), in the large $N$ limit, matches with closed string action [@Bala], where the effective radius of world-sheet is $N\widetilde{L}_9^{\ast}$ and inverse string tension is $2 \pi \widetilde{\beta}'$, $\widetilde{\beta}' = \widetilde{L}_9^{\ast} R^{11}$.   Turning on $F_{09}$ corresponds to addition of F-strings.  The commutator terms are zero if we restrict the matrices $X^i$ to be $X^i (x, q, t)$ i.e. without any $p$ dependence.  $p$


due to the presence of zero-point energy, $$F(0) =  -\frac{1}{12 L_9^*} = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n}{ L_9^*}$$ using Zeta function regularization.  The high temperature expansion, $\frac{\beta}{2 \pi L_9^8} << 1$ is given as, $$F(T) = -\frac{\pi^2 L_9^* T^2}{3} + \frac{T}{2} \ ln(\frac{8 \pi^3 g_s l_s L_9^{*2}}{L_0^2} T)$$

As always, the backdrop for this competition is vikings. Beautiful viking women, fierce viking warriors, viking merchants and blacksmiths, handcrafters and trolls. Yep, there will be a real troll up there, and he will give y’all real viking games together with Lekegoden, just like the vikings played them back then.

This truly is the place to be the last weekend of January every year.

Ok … let’s talk about the competitors. 14 men from all over the world will be gathered up in the Norwegian mountains to fight for the


sixth event of Saturday. Per today it isn’t decided if it should be stones or a loading medley. All we for sure can say is that it will be heavy, it will be hard and there are athletes that will complain about how hard it is to lift this and that in the snow and cold.

After the total of 7 events, the title of World’s Strongest Viking will be claimed by one athlete, that athlete will bring back home a beautiful handmade viking axe and a check. So we wonder; will JF Caron win his third title? Will Justin prove that he is capable to win? Or will the Dutch geography teacher, Alex Moonen, surprise everyone and take the title?

The best way to find out is to bethe Cloud computing paradigm allows users to rent high performance computing clusters using a “pay as you go” pricing model. The fact that high performance computing resources are readily available should suggest that  techniques–which have been refined to take advantage precisely of that kind of resources–are widespread. Unfortunately, techniques have not gained much popularity outside highly specialized user communities.

![image](architecture){width=".9\textwidth"}

There are many reasons for that [@Gda11], but we believe that the fundamental issue with  is that parallel simulation models are currently not transparent to the user. Figure \[fig:architecture\] (a) shows the (greatly simplified) structure of a  stack. At the higher level we have the user-defined *simulation model*; the model defines the events and how they change the system state. In practice, the model is implemented using either general-purpose programming language, or languages


all the available cores on a multicore processor, providing a uniform communication abstraction on shared memory machines. Also, multiple Erlang VMs can provide a similar abstraction also on distributed memory systems. Thanks to these features, the same ErlangTW simulation model can be executed serially on single-core processors, or concurrently on multicores or clusters. Of course, performance will depend both on the model and on the underlying architecture; however, preliminary experiments with the PHOLD benchmark (reported in Section \[sec:performance\_evaluation\]) show that scalability across different processor architectures can indeed be achieved. Moreover, future versions of ErlangTW will add support for the adaptive runtime migration of simulated entities (or whole ) using the serialization features offered by Erlang. An approach that, due to many technical difficulties, is not common in  tools but thateach  has an incoming queue for all other  from which it can receive messages; (*ii*) each  must generate events in non decreasing timestamp order; (*iii*) the delivery of the events is reliable (no message can be lost) and the network does not change the message order. Under these assumptions, each  checks all the incoming queues to determine what is the next safe event to be processed. If there are no empty queues, then the incoming event with lower timestamp is safe and can be executed. Unfortunately, this mechanism is prone to deadlock, since a  can not identify the next safe event if all incoming queues are nonempty. To avoid this, the CMB algorithm introduces a new type of message (called NULL messages) with no semantic content. The receipt


of a NULL message ${\ensuremath{\langle t, \mathit{NULL} \rangle}}$ informs the receiver that the sender has set its  to $t$, and hence will not send any event with timestamp lower than $t$. NULL messages can be used to break deadlocks, at the cost of increasing the network load. Moreover, generation of NULL messages requires some knowledge of the simulation model, and therefore can not be transparent the user.

Finally, the Time Warp protocol [@Jef85] implements the so called *optimistic* synchronization approach. In Time Warp, each  can process incoming events as soon as they are received. Obviously, causality violations may happen, and special actions must be taken to fix them. If a  receives a message (called *straggler*) with timestamp smaller than some event already processed, it must roll back the computations forcreates a separate scheduler for each CPU core; each scheduler fetches one ready LWT from a common queue and executes it. The `spawn` function can be used to create a new thread executing a given function. The VM will take care of dispatching threads to active schedulers. The fact that there is no 1:1 mapping between LWT and OS threads facilitates the work of the developer, since the VM takes care of balancing the load across the available processors.

Each LWT has an identifier that is guaranteed to be unique across all VM instances, even those running on different hosts connected through a network. The identifier can be used by send/receive primitives, which are provided directly by the language itself and do not require external libraries.

The ErlangTW Simulator is


parameters which have been used in the simulation runs. We tested ErlangTW both on a shared memory and on a distributed memory architecture.

The number of entities $E$ has been chosen as multiples of 840, which is the minimum common multiple of the number of  we considered (i.e., 840 is an integer multiple of all integers in the range $1,
\ldots, 8$). This ensures that the number of entities allocated to each , $E/L$, is an integer.

As already described, the event density has been set to 0.5, which means that, at a given time, the average number of events in the system is $0.5 \times E$. We considered three different workloads of 1000, 5500 and 10000 Floating Point Operations. Finally, the  is computed every 5 seconds.

unbalance occurs and the number of rollbacks sharply increases. The  running on the overloaded processor core lag behind the other , and a large number of antimessages is produced to undo the updates performed by the faster . As the number of  further increase, we observe that the number of rollbacks decreases, since the system becomes more and more balanced.

In practice it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to statically partition a models such that the workload is balanced across the , since the computation / communication ratio can change during the simulation. If detailed knowledge of the simulation model is not available in advance, as it is the case most of the times, it is necessary to resort to adaptive entity migration techniques to balance the  [@gda-ijspm-2009].

Nanoparticles (NPs) constitute a fraction of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) and are defined as ultrafine structures because of their less than 100 nm diameter ([@B8]). Environmental pollution is a major health concern, especially in developing countries, with reported levels of PM 10 times higher than in developed countries ([@B19]). The most frequent scenarios of PM exposure are environmental and occupational settings (factories and coal mines). Epidemiological studies show that exposure to airborne PM is closely associated with increased morbidity and mortality from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, accounting to 3.2 million deaths per year ([@B31]; [@B38]; [@B20]). The prominent respiratory effects associated to the exposure to airborne PM are lung inflammation and papillary adenocarcinoma ([@B40]; [@B3]).

Fe~2~O~3~ and TiO~2~ NPs significantly decreased cell stiffness (1.77 ± 0.12 Pa; *p* = 0.012 and 1.86 ± 0.14 Pa; *p* = 0.011, respectively) respect to control conditions (2.46 ± 0.20 Pa).

Specifically, the percentage of cells presenting these actin stress fibers was 29.0 ± 2.9% which was significantly reduced to 21.3 ± 1.6% (*p* = 0.029) and 19.0 ± 1.1% (*p* = 0.026) when cells were exposed to Fe~2~O~3~ and TiO~2~ NPs, respectively.

Discussion {#S4}
==========

The present study demonstrates that non-cytotoxic concentrations of Fe~2~O~3~ and TiO~2~ NPs promote considerable biomechanical changes in human alveolar epithelial cells even in the absence of an inflammatory response. Specifically, both types of NPs significantly reduce the stiffness and mechanical traction forces of cells which could be explained with the loss of actin stress fibers observed.

Harold Bloom was one of Yale’s most illustrious professors. Most of my friends in the Literature department were his acolytes, clustering around him at office hours for his bon mots about Pater and Wilde. He called students, male and female both, “my dear” and “my child.” Beautiful, brilliant students surrounded him. He was a vortex of power and intellectual charisma.

I, personally, was at once drawn to him intellectually and slightly scared of him. I had audited a famous course he taught, and he had reached out to me then and invited me to talk with him. Since he was so intellectually selective, I was “sick with excitement” at the prospect, as I wrote in an account—details changed to disguise his identity—in one of my books, Promiscuities.

His aura wasa pattern of concealing and covering up instances of sexual harassment and even sexual assault, or acts of retaliation against students who complain, then a university can be charged with having failed to take corrective action.

Still getting nowhere with Yale authorities, I called around to see if someone else could reassure me so I could drop the matter. Linda Anderson, a brave senior administrative assistant in the Women’s & Gender Studies Program (the one who had posted the sign two decades ago), told me that the issue was far from settled. As I started to investigate further, several women willing to tell me their stories came forward.

They were a distinguished group, including a lawyer, a college dean, and a chaplain. What made their stories even more disturbing was


Office of Public Affairs: I was writing a story about this issue, I said. “Harold Bloom?” asked press officer Gila Reinstein. “He hits on everybody!” She backpedaled: “ … in a bizarre way, I mean: ‘My child,’ ‘my dear’ … ” “This wasn’t that,” I said. “This was a hand on my thigh.” “I am sorry,” she said.

I called the Yale English Department to get Harold Bloom’s response. A tense secretary said she could not take my message. She claimed that he had changed his number and that even they did not have his number. “He is barely a member of the English faculty,” she said. I explained why I was calling—surely she would want to pass on my request to the department head. “She won’t care,” shecould not urge her to speak up confidently to those tasked with educating, supporting, and mentoring her. I would not direct her to her faculty adviser, the grievance committee, or her dean. Wishing that Bart Giamatti’s beautiful welcoming speech to my class about Yale’s meritocracy were really true, I would, with a heavy heart, advise that young woman, for her own protection, to get a good lawyer.

  Introducing the Paytm Food Wallet

Companies can now roll out tax-free food allowance to employees instantly.

Every working Indian is eligible for a tax-free food allowance of Rs 50/meal. However, between easily spoilt paper coupons, low acceptability and expiry dates, 60 lakh Indians struggle to file their food voucher claims every year.

We’re rolling out a first-of-its-kind Food Wallet to make life simpler for them. Being a part of the Paytm app, the food credit is digital and eliminates risks of loss and expiry.

Simply go to the ‘Passbook’ option on your Paytm app and you can find your Food Wallet balance. You can also locate the closest food outlet using the ‘nearby’ feature on the app.

The Paytm Food Wallet can be easily redeemed at office cafeterias and a wide range of

Measurement methods
-------------------

Before the experiment, the subjects performed the ADIM for 15 min and then practiced stair ascent once during maintaining or not maintaining the maneuver. In the experiment, we set the order of maintaining and not maintaining the ADIM through a single-blind study and a randomized controlled trial, and the subjects performed stair ascent according to the order for measurement of their muscular activity. In order to prevent substitution, we applied a 3-min rest after three repetitive measurements for each order.

Data analysis
-------------

The IBM SPSS ver. 18.0 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA) was used to analyze the collected data. Aon one hand, it needs precision lathes and other expensive manufacturing equipment, and on the other hand, lathing method requires stricter purity of bar materials, resulting in the poor performance of the V-shaped ring with high temperature resistance. In prior art, the method of injection molding for production of the V-shaped ring with high temperature resistance also has corresponding problems. It proposes high requirements for the molds. And a long period of application under high or low temperature will result in serious deformation, therefore, it is difficult to control its sealing performance, and the leakage is not easy to reach the standard requirement.


Los Alamos County began operating the landfill in 1974. Municipal solid waste from the community and Los Alamos National Lab was buried in the landfill from about 1974 to 2008. In 2008, the Los Alamos County landfill was closed and the Eco Station was constructed. The Eco Station serves as a transfer station to handle the majority of the solid waste generated in Los Alamos. Solid waste is transported off the hill daily for final disposal at the Rio Rancho landfill, over 80 miles away. Mixed recycling is sent to Friedman Recycling in Albuquerque. Electronics, appliances, tires and household hazardous waste (paints, chemicals, etc.) are also sent off the hill for proper disposal. Glass is sent to BuRRT in Santa Fe, organic trimmings are chipped for mulch andAce supports only the iPhone 5 and higher, and the iPod touch 5th gen and higher – all of which have similar dimensions. The Moga Android controllers must accommodate everything from small phones to massive phablets. If Apple releases a different sized or shaped iPhone 6, then this accessory could be incompatible. For now, having the iPhone inside the device means better weight balance; you can even use it while lying down on your back with the Ace effectively upside down.

In terms of dimensions, the Ace is closer in size and weight to the smaller Hero Power for Android. The Ace weighs 163 g and is fairly light in the hand. When in compact form, it's fairly small, but the entire unit expands outward to accommodate the iPhone


Q:

Executing a method everytime an item is added to a collection

i want to execute a method each time an item is added to an DbSet.
Is this possible without calling this method seperate each time?

A:

DbSet has a property "Local" which is an ObservableCollection. You can subscribe to CollectionChanged on this to see when things have been added.
So something like:
this.ttActivities.Local.CollectionChanged += ttActivitiesChanged;

public void ttActivitiesChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs args)
{
  if (args.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add)
  {
    // Something has been added
  }
}

J'imaginais malgré moi le formol se substituant au sang dans les veines, investissant doucement tout le réseau artériel, pénétrant les cavités du cœur et gelant l'organisme de l'intérieur. Tous les orifices par où la mort pourrait suinter seraient sans doute suturés. La pensée de ses yeux sous ses paupières ne me quittait pas.

Pourtant, ce refus même exigeait la contribution active du langage (sa dépense lumineuse et mobile). Et il était la condition paradoxale de toute vérité.

À faire jouer dans mon esprit ces raisonnements faux, je sentais les mots se mettre en mouvement, lancer un invisible balancier par où le langage tout entier commençait à fonctionner de lui-même.

for monolayer integrity. TER was measured daily using a World Precision Instruments ohmmeter (WPI, Inc., Sarasota, FL, USA), and results are reported as mean±SEM Ωcm2. For experiments measuring CFTR dependent short circuit (ISC), CFBE41o- cells were cultured on 6 mm diameter permeable inserts and mounted into modified Ussing chambers (Jim’s Instruments, Iowa City, IA, USA) as previously described [20]. Monolayers were stimulated with adenosine (10 μM) and genistein (50 μM) to activate CFTR ion transport and blocked with CFTR inhibitor 172 (CFTRINH172, 10 μM, mucosal) as a further test of the CFTR dependent ISC.

2.2. Statistical analysis

A minimum of 12 monolayers for each condition constituted one experiment, and this was repeated three times with the results averaged. Descriptive statistics were computed for each study variable of interest, including meansin transepithelial resistance. In a recent study by le Simple et al. [16], defective CFTR trafficking and tyrosine phosphorylation was implicated in modulation of CF airway epithelial barrier function via the regulation of paracellular permeability that was independent of CFTR-mediated chloride conductance. Singh et al. [26] reported a significant disruption in a non-CF epithelial membrane barrier secondary to RSV infection. The authors proposed that the decrease in transepithelial resistance indicated changes in paracellular permeability mediated by cellular cytoskeletal rearrangements. Our data indicate that human airway epithelial cells can be used to demonstrate CFTR-dependent RSV sensitivity, and implicate primary airway epithelial vulnerability to RSV infection. Although the decrease in transepithelial resistance did not appear to be clearly dependent on RSV concentration, our data suggest that F508del CFTR monolayers were


secondary to lack of nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) and 2’, 5’ oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) induction in response to the virus. Furthermore, CF epithelial cells have been shown to exhibit increased viral replication compared to non-CF cells when exposed to human rhinovirus [33]. Additionally, RSV infection in a CF murine model demonstrated that CF mice had a defect in RSV clearance, with higher RSV burden compared to non-CF mice post infection, which was associated with increased lung inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness [11]. In the present study, our data suggest that bronchial epithelial cells overexpressing F508del CFTR were inherently more sensitive to RSV replication. We postulate that this is in part secondary to the decreased monolayer integrity seen in RSV infected F508del vs. wt CFTR cells. Others have shownthe intervention occurred on inoculated hands (95.3%; p = 0.0039), all fomites combined (74.5%; p < 0.005), and non-inoculated hands and fomites combined (73.5%; p < 0.005). However, viral reduction on non-inoculated hands was not significant, likely due to small sample size. Using rhinovirus and rotavirus as models it was estimated that infection risk was reduced by ~30 to 89% with the use of sanitizing wipes once per day depending on the starting concentration of these viruses on hands of susceptible individuals. Therefore, using a hand sanitizing wipe can significantly reduce viral transmission and risk of illness in homes. Previous studies have shown other hand hygiene interventions, such as alcohol-based hand sanitizers, are even more effective for reducing risk of illness in homes; however the sanitizing wipe used

in China, but the models are an option in addition to four-cylinder versions.

Many Chinese consumers, however, perceive cars with three-cylinder engines as noisier and prone to vibrating, and sales began to tumble in third quarter of 2018. Last year, GM’s China sales fell 15% to 3.09 million vehicles, its second straight year of steep declines and the lowest level since 2012.

The move was “too quick, too radical and lacked sophisticated planning,” a senior Shanghai-based sales manager at a Buick dealership told Reuters.

The sales manager, who was not authorised to speak to media and declined to be identified, said his company was among hundreds of dealers which lobbied GM to change the plan at dealer conferences.

GM China President Matt Tsien told investors in New York on Wednesday that consumersgroove. O-ring seals flanking the groove are set in radially outwardly open grooves of the base body and radially engage the inner face of spout sleeve to prevent leakage from between them. A valve cartridge carried on the base body varies flow from the inlet port or ports to the outlet port, either simply controlling flow rate from a single inlet port to the outlet port, or controlling the mix ratio and flow volume of water from hot- and cold-water inlet ports to the outlet port.
Thus with this faucet assembly water flows through the passage of the base body into the valve cartridge which outputs it to the groove, whence it flows up and out the spout. The spout can be pivoted about the base body without interrupting


Text on a wall

I'm trying to create an animation where text and images appear as if they were painted on a wall.

I've played around with blending modes and opacity, and added a displacement map effect (using the picture of the wall as the map), placed a 5% opaque white solid on top of everything. What I have now looks okay-ish (sorry can't share due to confidentiality), but not as convincing as this best example I've found: https://vimeo.com/25123730

I wonder if I've missed something; how would you say the example was put together?

When it comes to text or simple graphics I suggest using the layer as a track matte for a duplicate of the wall and then color correcting the actual wall image to the level of darkness or coloras a result, it is articulated relative to both the outer joint part and the inner joint part, it is due to simple geometric conditions that there takes place a relative circumferential movement of the balls relative to the cage during said movements. Therefore, the cage windows holding the balls in a common plane have to have a certain circumferential length. The greater the specific articulation angle of a joint, the greater the necessary circumferential length of the cage window.
As a result, the webs remaining between the windows are reduced in width, so that the fracture strength of the cage decreases.
With fixed joints of the type, the action of controlling the balls onto the angle-bisecting plane may also, when viewed in a longitudinal section, additionally be based on
