Universality theory for cranks

From the geomblog, in 2004: a meta-proof of P=/!=NP. With very slight modifications this could be a meta-proof of the Riemann hypothesis, or any other outstanding open problem in mathematics, theoretical CS, theoretical physics, or other heavily mathematical fields. The cranks work in roughly the same way regardless of the specific question.

3 comments:

The "meta-" part of the meta-proof is this: while it is evidently extremely difficult to obtain a proof of P != NP (or for that matter, of P = NP), it is in practice easy to check whether or not an alleged proof is correct. This is in reference to the formulation of P as the set of "easily" solvable decision problems, and NP as the set of decision problems whichnasal spray as baseline treatment and Group B, and Group C received the specific drug as an add on treatment. All treatments were continued for seven days.

Nasal symptoms, including nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, olfactory dysfunction, and head and facial pain were recorded before randomization and after 7-days of treatment. Nasal symptoms were measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The total nasal symptom score (TNSS) was calculated as the sum of scores for four individual symptoms. The assessments of improvements in TNSS was used as the primary endpoint of this study. We used the polyp grading score to assess the endoscopic score and volume of nasal polyps.[@bib20] The nasal polyp (NP) size was scored from 0 to 4 for each side, and the maximum bilateral endoscopic score was 8.


is the first-line treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.[@bib2] However, the appropriate dose and the duration of treatment remain unknown. In China, nasal spray is widely used in CRSwNP patients, and patients with asthma or with recurrent nasal polyps will be treated with oral steroids for one to two weeks or even longer to control the symptoms. However, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that the regular dose of nasal spray is not enough for disease control.[@bib17]^,^[@bib28] Although the safety of short-course oral steroids has been demonstrated by clinical trials,[@bib12]^,^[@bib29] repeated use of short-course oral steroids for more than two courses per year may increase the risk of osteoporosis.[@bib14] Recently, some physicians have recommended high dose local steroids as an effective and safe way to treatwith a footnote 1 (under evaluation by EFSA).

In its opinion about this subgroup of 2012, the EFSA Panel considered that the mutagenicity hazard could not be cleared by the endpoints evaluated in the in vivo micronucleus assay submitted. The Panel therefore conclude that further data were required in order to clarify the genotoxic potential of this subgroup. The Panel considered the Comet assay with \[FL‐no: 05.095\] as test material and performed on liver, blood and first site of contact, as a preferred option to further investigate the genotoxicity in vivo.

The additional data submitted by the applicant consist essentially of: `−`a transgenic mutation assay in combination with an in vivo micronucleus assay for the substance 2‐methylcrotonaldehyde \[FL‐no: 05.095\]`−`a combination of a Comet/micronucleus assay for the substance 2‐methylpent‐2‐enal \[FL‐no: 05.090\]

The Panel also considered in this opinion on


sufficiently lipophilic to be absorbed from the intestine and they would be metabolised via many different pathways. The presence of other functional groups, such the α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes in the two candidate substances, provides greater polarity and an additional site for the biotransformation of these sulfides. According to JECFA, the presence of these polar groups would also enhance the renal excretion (JECFA, [2000](#efs26154-bib-0019){ref-type="ref"}). Concurrent metabolic pathways of various sulfides substituted with oxygenated functions were reported, but sulfoxide formation, via enzymatic catalysis (P450 and flavin‐containing monooxygenases), is the predominant metabolic pathway of detoxification. Sulfoxides may be further oxidised to sulfones and these two are the main urinary metabolites of sulfides.

The other 10 candidate substances are tertiary monothiols. Seven of them were evaluated in the 53rd JECFA meeting within the '*subgroupPupillary size in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Pupillary adaptation to darkness was studied in 63 children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes using a simple portable pupillometer. Results were compared with those in a group of age-related non-diabetic children and expressed as the ratio of the pupil diameter to the iris diameter (pupil diameter %). In the diabetic patients the pupil diameter % was 61.1 +/- 5.8 (44.4-71.9) % compared with 64.2 +/- 4.1 (53.2-72.6) % in the control subjects (p less than 0.001). Abnormal pupillary adaptation to darkness was found more commonly than abnormal heart rate variation in response to a variety of stimuli in the diabetic patients. Pupillary adaptation to darkness may be useful as an indicator of subclinical autonomic neuropathy in diabetic children.

LessThe present invention generally relates to a tracking servo system for following up the center of a track with a light spot and an optical disc apparatus in which the tracking servo system is used. More particularly, the invention is concerned with a composite tracking servo system composed compositely of a continuous servo loop in which a differential diffraction method using pregrooves or a so-called push-pull tracking is employed and a sample servo loop in which wobble tracking method using wobbled marks disposed at both sides of a track in a relation wobbled relative to the center of the track, and which system is suitable for application to optical code data memories such as a write-once type optical disc system, an erasable type optical disc system or the


like.
As an off-track deviation detecting system adopted widely at present in an optical disc file system, there can be mentioned a so-called push-pull method according to which guide grooves referred to as pregrooves are previously provided on the disc surface, wherein detection of the off-track deviation (hereinafter referred to as the track deviation) is realized by making use of such a phenomenon that upon occurrence of deviation of a light spot focused onto the pregroove from the latter, change will occur in the distribution of the quantity of reflected light due to diffraction of light brought about by the regroove. Although the push-pull system enjoys excellent features preferable for the optical disc file, the system is disadvantageous in respect to high susceptibility to the influence of tilting of- I want my service, client, proxy, and contract assemblies to be cleanly separated.
When using WCF, the layout I prefer is something like this (using your Contact example):

Starting from *trans*-stilbene alkene, a diastereoselectivity reversion of dihydrofuran was observed with *ortho*-substituted β-ketosulfones. Moreover, four original cyclopropanes were obtained in low yields. This original cyclopropanation reaction could be a very valuable tool in organic synthesis and additional research seeking to enhance yields is currently in progress.

Gowen was initially awarded disability insurance benefits on March 8, 1976, due to rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative joint disease of the cervical spine.  The record demonstrates that Gowen was treated at the Veterans Administration Hospital from 1975 to 1983 for his arthritis and also for a respiratory condition.  Following a periodic review, Gowen was advised by the Secretary that his disability had ended in March of 1983 and his benefits were ceased.  In determining that Gowen no longer was disabled, the Secretary considered the medical reportsstory: ‘What is this primal thing that’s affecting me in a way I don’t quite understand?’”

We are not in a particularly scary setting: a bare, white, decidedly un-Hollywood back office on the lot of Universal Studios. Nor is Peele exactly a terrifying presence, except perhaps in terms of reputation. He is wearing black jeans, a green sweater, box-fresh white Nikes, a notch smarter than his traditional “90s slacker” dress code. The greying beard gives him a certain maturity, but there’s still a boyish cuddliness to him. He is not the clown his television persona suggests, but nor does he come across as a brooding master of suspense. He’ll even break out his Barack Obama impersonation later.

But horror is where Peele is at right now. His debut, Get Out, was the crossover horror hit film-makers dream of: hugely successful commercially (more than $250m worldwide, from a budget of $4.5m), critically (including a best original screenplay Oscar for Peele last year), and culturally (witness how “the Sunken Place” has become part of the language). All of which makes Peele’s follow-up one of the most anticipated titles of the year. The burden of expectation must have been unbearable.

“You know, it doesn’t feel too different,” he says calmly. “With Get Out, I had the fear that if it went wrong, it would go terribly wrong. I don’t have that fear with this movie, but of course there’s the fear of betraying the expectations of somebodya step towards that post-racial dreamland.

Peele has always had a complex relationship with race. According to convention, he is classified as “black”; in fact he is mixed race. His father (whom he barely knew) was black; his mother (who raised him in New York’s upper west side) was white. He grew up “knowing my identity was a representation of the absurdity of the idea of race”. His “black” appearance marked him out in white social circles; his “white” accent marked him out in black ones. “I think that gave me a perspective that, in its best and worst sense, had me feeling like an outsider.”

Having gravitated towards comedy and improv at college, he found a kindred spirit in Keegan-Michael Key, who is also mixed race. They met in


hit and run. “The missing father is the phantom hanging over that movie,” Peele once said. The father figure is present in Us, but he’s a bit of a macho asshole. The emotional centre is really Nyong’o, who is conflicted and isolated, and has a close bond with her son. Us’s family focus is doubly acute now that Peele is a father himself. He has an eight-month-old son with actor Chelsea Peretti, whom he married in 2016.

Horror was Peele’s first love, he says. He describes himself as “a scared kid”, but he was also the one who’d tell scary stories around the campfire: “The feeling of hearing an audience go ‘Ooh-hoo-hoo’ and shuddering. I got results. That sort of marked the transitionwhole Peele universe is forming.

Getting back to the topic in hand, Peele hints that Get Out and Us are part of a quartet of movies he is planning, but he won’t go into details. “I have a plan,” he admits. “I’m someone who operates somewhere between best-laid plans and complete ability to shift and pivot.”

Is there a connection between Get Out’s “Sunken Place” and Us’s “Tethered”?

He chooses his words carefully: “Without answering directly if they’re in the same universe, I will say that, yes, I consider this part of the same project.”

Cryptic mythology aside, what really connects Peele’s universe is that, in both Get Out and Us, the horror is not supernatural or extraterrestrial in origin; it is human. “So much of horror is focused on naming the


evil as something else. What I love to explore, and what I intend to explore with my future films as well in this series – if you want to put it like that – is the idea that we need to look no further than the mirror to find the darkest monster of all.”

We now have nine visitor sites around the UK where families come to have fun and children often have their first experience of getting close to nature by, for example, feeding the rarest goose in the world. As well as inspiring the conservationists of the future, we work around the world to save endangered wetlands and wetland species. We are involved in projects as far apart as China, Bulgaria and Madagascar where we are saving wetlands for wildlife and people.

Martin Mere. Welney in Cambridgeshire is the best place to see one of England’s best kept secrets, the Fenlands: Its the site of mass winter gatherings of many thousands of wild ducks, geese and swans.

Do the birds change according to the seasons, and migrations? What birds can seen in summer that are not there in winter and vice versa?

Every day is different at our centres. We provide a great quality habitat for our permanent collections of international birds, and that means we’ve always got wild birds dropping in to enjoy the surroundings too. In spring and summer it’s the habitat that attracts them. The reeds and marshes provide nesting grounds for ducks, coots, swans and much more. Dragonflies, wildflowers and amphibians provide food for buntings and warblers.

Like I said, I do it too if I get a bad vibe. But there have been plenty of times where I highly doubt that that's the case. I'll acknowledge that it's possible that "people just not liking me" could be an explanation for at least some of these experiences. But on the other hand, I'm sorry, but sometimes it seems like this happens before I get a chance to make any impression whatsoever.

conclusion I'd say there's no definitive answer. It depends.

During interrogations US soldiers would ask a question such as "where is Osama?" and punch him in the face when he said he didn't know. "Hour upon hour, they repeated the same questions accompanied by punches and kicks," Kurnaz recalled in his memoirs. The interrogators refused to believe his protestations of innocence. He saw seven soldiers using rifle butts to beat another prisoner to death. The abuse of Kurnaz escalated to include  electric shock prods applied to the soles of his feet, until the unendurable pain caused him to pass out. His head

A State Department spokesman said the prisoners were apparently not aware that one was to be transferred to Saudi Arabia, although to be held in custody there, and another was to be released to Saudi Arabia. Human rights groups and defense lawyers called for investigation.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service conducted an investigation, releasing a heavily redacted report in 2008. In 2009 the law school at Seton Hall University released a study, alleging that DOD claimed the suicides in a coverup of homicides due to torture.

&&\lambda _1^{\uparrow }(A)+\lambda _1^{\uparrow }(B) \\
&=&\min_{U_1}[tr(U_1^{*}\rho _AU_1)]+\min_{U_2}[tr(U_2^{*}\rho _BU_2)] \\
&=&\min_{U_1}[tr\left[

Using these two facts, when $R=\mu L+r,S=\mu N+s,$ there are $\mu LN$ columns in $U_2$ linear dependent on $\mu LN$ columns in $U_1$. Since the columns in the same unitary matrix are orthogonal to each other, we need only consider the rest columns in the unitary matrix $U_1$ and $U_2.$ So at most $\mu LN+rs$ columns in the unitary $U_2$ are linear dependent on the columns in the unitary matrix $U_1.$ QED

When some eigenvalues of the density matrices are zeros, we can get some stronger relations between the reduced density matrix and the global density matrix.

[**Theorem 4**]{}: Suppose $rank(\rho _{ABC})=LMN-Ls,$ $rank(\rho _{BC})=MN-s,$ $rank(\rho _{AB})=LM-r$ and $rank(\rho _B)=M-t,$ if $r$ and $s$ satisfy the condition $Nr\leq Ls,$then $$t\leq [\frac{r-1}L]+1  \eqnum{5}$$ is hold, where $[x]$ is the maximum integercan also give the necessary and sufficient compatibility conditions between the set of one-party reduced density matrices and the $N$-partite density matrix[@sudbery].

[*Proof* ]{}We consider the $(N-1)$-partite density matrix $\rho _{123\cdots
N-1}$. From this density matrix, we can get the one-party reduced density matrices $\rho _i(i=1,2,\cdots ,N-1)$. Now we use the method before to get $$\sum_{j=1}^{N-2}\sum_{i=1}^{M-1}\lambda _i^{\uparrow
}(j)+\sum_{i=1}^p\lambda _i^{\uparrow
}(N-1)=\sum_{i=1}^{N-2}\min_{U_i}[tr(U_i^{*}\rho _{12\cdots
N-1}U_i)]+\min_{U_{N-1}}[tr(U_{N-1}^{*}\rho _{12\cdots N-1}U_{N-1})]$$ where the unitary matrix $U_i$ $(i=1,2,\cdots ,N-2)$ can be divided into $%
M-1 $ blocks, each block is a $M^{N-1}\times M^{N-2}$ matrix. The unitary matrix $U_{N-1}$ can be divided into $p$ blocks, each block is also a $%
M^{N-1}\times M^{N-2}$ matrix. The form of the block (the positions of the nonzero elements in the block) is independent of the block in the same unitary matrix $U_i$. The firsts column in different

(Emphasis added).[1] 28 U.S.C. § 1446. The issue in this case is whether a letter from Defense counsel to Plaintiffs counsel requesting a stipulation that the amount in controversy does not exceed $75,000.00, to which Plaintiffs counsel did not respond, constitutes "other paper" under 28 U.S.C. § 1446 so as to trigger the thirty day time period for removal.
The Fifth Circuit has considered what constitutes "other paper" for purposes of the removal statute. The Fifth Circuit follows the rule that the "other paper" conversion requires a "voluntary act of the Plaintiff.of removal is untimely because it was not filed within thirty days from receipt, service or otherwise, of the initial pleading. Therefore, in light of the finding that Defendant's removal was untimely, remand of this case is appropriate.

II. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs motion to remand is GRANTED. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that this case be and is hereby REMANDED to Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana.

How To Be A Friend To Someone With Depression

I’ve heard it said that if you drop a frog into water and slowly turn up the heat, it’ll stay in the pot.

It just swims around, completely oblivious of the danger, until it boils. A pretty morbid picture, to be sure…but it’s the best way I can explain my bout with clinical depression.

My first year of college, I went from being a sunny, happy girl to devastatingly sad. Out of nowhere, basic tasks became cumbersome monsters. Taking a shower felt like running a marathon. Going to class, an impossible task. It took a while for me to get the help I needed, but eventually I wound up in a psychiatrist’s office.

is immediately brought into an inoperative state in which no external input is accepted. This arrangement is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. SHO 62-270933, etc.
However, the conventional arrangement to immediately render the camera inoperative when the lens barrel or the shutter operating member fails to normally operate, for example, due to a fault of a plunger or the like even when the release operation is performed just once, presents the following problem: The camera would be set too often into the inoperative state. Then, to cancel this state, the battery of the camera must be taken out and again loaded each time. In a case where the camera has long been left unused in particular, such members often come to normally operate when theBrillouin frequency shift difference between the two fibers can be achieved. Through simply varying the modulation frequency, the two passbands can be synchronously shifted back and forth. In the experiment, a tunable dual-passband MPF with a fixed frequency interval of 2.434 GHz is demonstrated in the frequency range of 0-9.644 GHz, where the out-of-band rejection ratio and the 3-dB bandwidth of the passbands are measured to be larger than 20 dB and smaller than 57 MHz, respectively.


Single, double, and triple intercluster bonds: analyses of M2Au36(SR)24 (M = Au, Pd, Pt) as 14-, 12- and 10-ve superatomic molecules.
The bonding picture of the experimentally characterized species derived from the M2Au36(SR)24 cluster is discussed to indicate the occurrence of the classical notion of single, double and triple chemical bonds. The bond order can be reversibly controlled by tuning their charge states which is shown to be opportunely extended to clusters in favor of the conception of molecularly structured materials.timing of first and second ovulations occurred significantly (P < 0.05) earlier in adrenal-transplanted monkeys. Histological examination indicated that the grafts survived in all transplanted monkeys. The presence of catecholamines and NPY in graft tissue was confirmed by tyrosine-hydroxylase-positive, dopamine beta-hydroxylase-positive, and NPY-positive cells. Endogenous LHRH fibers were observed innervating the graft tissue. We conclude that: (1) adrenal medulla transplantation into the third ventricle accelerates the age of first ovulation; (2) this is likely due to neuroactive substances (e.g., catecholamines and NPY) from the graft tissue; and (3) grafted adrenal medulla tissue can survive for at least 30-40 months. However, the age of menarche was not accelerated by this grafting, suggesting that an additional mechanism (e.g., removal of tonic inhibition) may be necessary for the onset of puberty.

A silent band breakfast in a Buddhist Monastery - Kyoto Japan

I’ve played in the same musical group for 27 years. The core of that group, 6 of us, have been together that whole time. We have toured the world together and done hundreds of rehearsals and concerts. We’ve shared bus rides, plane trips, hotel rooms, countless meals and way too many drinks.

We’ve also had our share of conflict. Tensions can run high when concert deadlines are near and rehearsal time is short.

When we had conflicts, they’d usually arise out of two things - passion or personality, passion for what we are trying to achieve together, and personality because… well… you know – because we are all different.

There are two things that I believe have kept us togethercontrol group (CG) comprised of 57 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers. The individuals in this group reported no types of malignant tumor or any systemic, neurological or psychiatric illnesses known to affect cerebral structure or function such as a long history of psychoactive medication use, head trauma, serious vascular disease, current depression, epilepsy or alcoholism.

### MRI examinations

Data were acquired within 2 weeks of diagnosis of lung cancer primarily due to some patients being diagnosed in other hospitals and then transferred to Shandong Provincial Hospital for further antitumor treatment. Following diagnosis, all patients underwent conventional MRI using a 3.0-T scanner (Philips Medical Systems B.V.) equipped with an 8-channel head and neck coil. The MRI machine was included in a detailed quality control plan requiring daily, monthly and quarterly inspections.


The radio frequency amplifier properties and main magnetic field homogeneity of the MRI machine were measured and controlled quarterly. The following conventional MRI sequences were employed: Sagittal, coronal and axial T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, apparent diffusion coefficient and enhanced T1WI. The sequences employed in the MRI protocol are presented in [Table II](#tII-ol-0-0-11426){ref-type="table"}.

### MR image segmentation

Image selection was carried out using a DICOM viewer (version 3.0; Philips Medical Systems B.V.). For each MR image, regions of interest (ROIs) were drawn symmetrically by hand on bilateral sides of the hemispheres at each level of interest ([@b21-ol-0-0-11426],[@b22-ol-0-0-11426]). In the present study, 16×16-pixel ROIs were manually drawn on the frontoparietal white matter in the centrum semiovale ([Fig. 1A](#f1-ol-0-0-11426){ref-type="fig"}), frontal cortices and parietal cortices atpatients with lung cancer without metastasis compared with healthy volunteers ([Table II](#tII-ol-0-0-11426){ref-type="table"}). [Fig. 4](#f4-ol-0-0-11426){ref-type="fig"} shows conventional MR images of a 45-year-old female patient who presented with lung cancer without brain metastasis (top row) and a 54-year-old male healthy control (bottom row).

### Comparison of texture parameters in bilateral hemispheres between patients with lung cancer without brain metastasis and healthy controls

For the comparison of bilateral hemispheres of 10 ROIs, 32 features were tested for each texture block to determine which and how many of the parameters differed statistically between patients with primary lung cancer without brain metastasis and healthy controls. The number of texture parameters (n=32) which were significantly different were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test ([Table IV](#tIV-ol-0-0-11426){ref-type="table"}). The feature vector included mean and variance features from histogram statistics, energy


identical trend between gray and white matter was observed in the patient and control groups. Among the six parameters, four parameters were significantly different between the patient and control groups. These four parameters were wavelet-LLL_median, wavelet-LLL\_ 10 percentile, wavelet-LLL\_ minimum, and run length non-uniformity. The parameters of mean and run percentage showed no significant difference ([Table VI](#tVI-ol-0-0-11426){ref-type="table"}).

### Comparison of texture parameters between patients with lung cancer without brain metastasis and healthy controls in cerebral gray and white matter

The aforementioned six most discriminative parameters were used to determine which differed statistically between patients with lung cancer without brain metastasis and healthy controls in different cerebral regions. In white matter regions, all six texture parameters analyzed with Wilcoxon test showed significant differences between patients and controls ([Table VII](#tVII-ol-0-0-11426){ref-type="table"}). The sixapplicable.

tree. The elements (solid boxes) and their offspring — subordinate elements, text strings (dashed boxes), and the comment — are connected by solid lines representing true hierarchical relationships. Attributes, on the other hand, add nothing to the structure of the node tree (although they do have relationships, depicted with dotted-dashed lines, to the elements that define them). And the xml-stylesheet PI at the very top of the document is connected to nothing at all.

Finally, most subtly yet most importantly, there is not a single scrap of markup in this tree. True enough, the element, attribute, and PI nodes all have names that correspond to bits of the original document's markup (such as the elements' start and end tags). But there are no angle brackets here. All that the


summed up as: such languages are needed in the context of special-purpose languages, such as XSLT and XLink. Expressing the general-purpose language as XML would both make them extremely verbose and require the use of namespaces, complicating inordinately what is already complicated enough.

"An XPath"[1] consists of one or more chunks of text, delimited by any of a number of special characters, assembled in any of various formal ways. Each chunk, as well as the assemblage as a whole, is called an XPath expression.

Here's a handful of examples, by no means comprehensive. (Don't fret; there are more detailed examples aplenty throughout the rest of the book.)

taxcut

Locates an element, in some relative context, whose name is "taxcut"

/

Locates the document root of some XML instance document

/taxcuts

Locates the root element of anXPath expression is validated against a DTD, it may contain more attributes than are present explicitly — visibly — in the document itself. That's because the DTD may declare some attributes with default values in the event the document author has not supplied those attributes explicitly. Always remember that the "document" to which you're referring with XPath is the source document as parsed, which may be only more or less the source document that you "see" when reading it by eye.

PI nodes

Processing instructions, by definition, stand outside the vocabulary of an XML document in which they appear. Nonetheless, they do have names in an XPath sense: the name of a PI is its target (the identifier following the opening <? delimiter). For this PI:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"?>

the QName and


(commonly referred to simply as "the Infoset") is a W3C Recommendation published in October 2001 (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-infoset/). Its purpose, as stated in the spec's Abstract, is to provide "a set of definitions for use in other specifications that need to refer to the information in an XML document."

The definitions the Infoset provides are principally in terms of 11 information items: document, element, attribute, processing-instruction, unexpanded entity reference, character, comment, document type declaration, unparsed entity, notation, and namespace. As you can see, there's a certain amount of overlap between this list and the node types available under XPath — and also a certain number of loose ends not provided at all by one or the other of the two Recommendations.

XPath 2.0 will resolve the conflicts in definitions of Infoset informationtwo, one for the myvocab: prefix and one for yourvocab:. Not true. There's only one namespace URI in play at that point (although it's aliased, after a fashion, by the two prefixes), and hence, there's only one namespace binding in that element node's context.

String-Values

By definition, a well-formed XML document is a text document, incapable of containing such "binary" content as multimedia files and images. Thus, it stands to reason that in navigating XML documents via XPath the strings of text that make up the bulk of the document (aside from the element names themselves) would be of supreme importance. This notion is codified in the concept of string-values. And the importance of string-values lies in the fact that most of the time, when you locate a node in


a document via XPath, what you're after is not the node per se but rather its string-value.

Each node returned by a location path has its own string-value. The string-value of a node depends on the node type, as summarized in Table 2-1. Note that the word "normalized" used to describe the string-value for the attribute node type is the same as elsewhere in the markup world: it means stripped of extraneous whitespace, by trimming leading and trailing whitespace and collapsing multiple consecutive occurrences of whitespace into a single space. For example, given an attribute such as region=" NWSE" (note leading blank spaces and multiple spaces between the "NW" and "SE"), its normalized value would be "NWSE". Also note, though, that this normalization depends on the attribute's type, asdeclared in a DTD or schema. If the attribute type is CDATA, those interior blank spaces would be assumed to be significant and not normalized. Therefore, if the region attribute is (say) of type NMTOKENS, the interior whitespace is collapsed; if it's CDATA, the whitespace remains.

Table 2-1. String-values, by node type

Node type

String-value

Root

Concatenated value of all text nodes in the document

Element

Concatenated value of all text nodes within the scope of the element's start and end tags, including the text nodes contained by any descendant elements

Attribute

Normalized value of the attribute

PI

Everything in the PI between its target (and whitespace following the target) and the closing ?> delimiter

Comment

The comment's content — the text between the opening and closing <!-- and --> delimiters

Text

The character data in the node (note that every text node


of a Node-Set

Not only does each node in a node-set have a string-value, as described above; the node-set as a whole has one.

If you followed the logic behind each of the previous examples, especially the concatenation of text nodes that makes up the string-value of a root or element node, you might think the string-value of a node-set containing (say) two or more element nodes is the concatenation of all their string-values. Not so. The string-value of a multinode node-set is the string-value of the first node in that node-set.

(Actually, the apparent inconsistency goes away if you just remember that last sentence, eliminating the word "multinode." Thus, the value of any single node is just a special case of the general rule; the node-set in this case justBecause of our situation on the side of a hill we get A LOT of water pouring down the side of the hill and mainly down the roads and pathways towards the bottom. If this water isn't slowed or diverted then it can destroy the road and flood buildings in just one heavy rainstorm.

This year we have been very successful in preventing damage along the roads and to buildings, we have made several new ditches in many areas of the park, along the main trail into the park and especially around the office area itself with 10 new ditches to carry the water from here back into the forest and into rivers and creeks.

Over the last 2 months we have done a lot of great things with our


try and get things done a little faster. Once we have all of the species caught and identified we will be able to move on to stage 2 of the project which is identification of caterpillars, eggs and the plants that play host to each species.

This should be an exciting stage of the project as we will have to build a butterfly house so that we can put the eggs, caterpillars and chrysalis into the house so we can observe the different stages of development and identify the species that come from each type of egg and each type of caterpillar.

As already mentioned we have been working really hard with the 2 Week Special groups this year, but we have also been able to take them out ofaccompanying zines as much as the music. Most of it was resistible, though. The Pitchfork review is hilarious cuz nothing is highly recommended.

i spent a hundred buxx today on records, but i bought them at an antique store.

i thought i might be able to open my little store by today, but real life intruded. the space we were in - that was pretty cheap - turned out to be too cheap. there are several cheap apartments above it, and one day some dude's toilet overflowed in his bathroom upstairs and it totally came raining down thru the ceiling into our store and on our stuff! ewwwww. luckily, there wasn't a ton of damage, but some records got wet and we promptly starting looking for another space. and we


Bajas/Moon Duo split, the Fall 7", and a buncha other non-RSD things. Nowhere I went was mobbed but all the places were busy with lines at the registers.

so i went, hit may fave shops -- didn't make, like "AN EFFORT" of this idea -- just figgered I'd hit the same shops I always hit every week or so. Check in with them and see how things were going.

Have to say, this particular "event" seemed WAY more over-subscribed than last year. Could barely even get in to the Reckless Records in the Loop in Chicago. It was completely wall-to-wall (and it's obviously just a small little hole-in-the-wall to begin with)

The funny thing is that I'm watching it today, and found that one of the guys interviewed in Vinyl isone of the guys I ran into at Record Store Day just yesterday. Know a few of the other characters in the movie too from my days wandering around the various stores in Toronto.

One of the record stores I stopped by said RSD was an enormous pain in the ass where you have to order all the "special" vinyl months in advance and then get don't get two-thirds of what you actually ordered

I didn't get into record store day because I was at the footy but I know I would have not got anything I was wanting anyway and would be a £4 train fare down. Stupid idea to limit everything so much, no-one gets what they want and everything ends up on eBay, seriously, fuck this shit.


just too bad this kind of thing can’t happen all the time, where you get people really excited to go to physical stores and pore over records," said Billboard's chart guru, Keith Caulfield.― Bee OK, Wednesday, April 21, 2010 10:29 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark

Only things I was really excited about were the Fela and Fahey records, neither of which I managed to find. Then again, I didn't try all that hard. Did pick up a Trouble In Mind 7" covers comp w Ty Segall doing Seger + Cococoma the Wipers, plus a Happy Birthday (ex-King Tuff) single I haven't listened to yet. Eh. At least it was cheap.

it's so sad that they can't do this more than once a year. would be so great if record companies could releasethe line and I was a bit bummed to see the white stripes singles sittin' on the counter and gone by the time I got there. Luckily, I'm in there every weekend and Lance and Dave, etc. know what I like and were able to guide me to some good stuff not on my list (the Scientists 45, the numero group pressed at bodie lp) and graciously explain that they didn't get a lot in - they're supposed to get more in a shipment today - may make a second trip as I want the GBV tribute and a few other things ...

i understand that the ltd edition thing is a real motivator for lazy music nerds to go out shopping, but really don't get why the labels


i already said that...

I agree with what your saying. I always thought one purpose of Record Store Days would be to reward people who still gave a shit about buying phsyical releases a way to buy somewhat limited releases that day; I just feel that the current selection is too limited on that day, but again, I'm not a collector.

It might hurt the cause if it is too limited, yes, but van smack is right. the whole point is to boost activity and excitement in your record store. It is a great way to get casual shoppers into the store, then use the occasion to do some heavy shopping for non RSD items as well.

I've been following this thread with interest, so I went down to Toronto's Sonicrather not be in record stores, just like New Year's Eve is the last night of the year I'd want to go out drinking. But like I said, I still hope my friends who run stores (hi Scott!) made lots of money yesterday, and maybe reeled in a couple new regular customers who won't wait another 365 days before they visit again.

I bought a CD yesterday - I was in Target on other errands and grabbed the new Radiohead because I happened to see it out of the corner of my eye and it was $10. But I don't own a turntable, so buying limited edition vinyl rarities (most of which are by bands I hate anyway) is out of the question.

xp That said, I did hit Breakaway


Skylarking on CD for the first time, the difference to the thin-sounding single LP (should have been a double) was like Dorothy opening her door after landing in Oz into a world of technicolor, my then-favorite album was suddenly SO MUCH BETTER.

For anyone who got the Big Star record: does it even sound that much better than other vinyl reissues of Third? I have the Castle pressing from 1987 and it sounds really great, much better than the reissues of the first two Big Star records that I have at home.

The record store I've been referencing, outside Chicago, said the new Pearl Jam vinyl releases have been slow to sell, oddly. They also couldn't find any mention of a New Order single on their various order sheets.

Did anyoneencourage people to visit and rediscover the ones that are still around. For us it is an incredibly important point in the year and to have it compromised like that can only be a bad thing.

yeah big name stuff from the 90s is worth tons...I think 1994 was the lowest production year for vinyl, so like the labels did say, Siamese Dream, in low quantities on vinyl to keep billy feeling cool and shit but yeah i saw that for 90+ at my local shop.

I really wish this day would just focus more on the idea of celebrating the recod store, instead of turning it into collector scum fighting with each other to grab eBay fodder. Like I really enjoy the vibe of the day, especially stores that


store. Someone who otherwise wouldn't bother going in that day may be spending a good chunk of change on records. What I do with something once I've bought it is my own business.

No, you aren't hurting the store, but you are hurting other fans who would like a fair shot at buying something they really want without paying jacked-up eBay prices. I mean, sure, you can do it, but its kind of a dick move.

Whatever one thinks of the releases themselves, Record Store Day is aimed at the good cause of trying to keep smaller independent stores alive and to encourage people to visit and rediscover the ones that are still around. For us it is an incredibly important point in the year and to have it compromisedmy locals throughout the year to not feel guilty in the least.

I have been pretty candid about how it effects us positively. We make more money in that one day than we do the whole month of Christmas. We have a blast. All of our customers who usually come in spread out over a month come in all at once and we have a big, fun party. How much more positive can it get?

yeah, i can't imagine any decent indie record shop having any kind of problem with RSD. they make money! guaranteed sales! fans come in and buy the dogshit out of things! only owner i've ever known to grouse about it was a horrible person who ran one of the most overpriced and unfriendly shops i've


inevitable cliff.

Record Store Day definitely is a huge day, businesswise. 3-4x as busy as our average saturday, and getting busier each year.it's kind of a drag to work it, honestly. the store is too busy and the employees are too busy to do much fun. it would be impossible to have an in-store. 3 years ago we had a bbq with burger and dogs and veggie stuff, but even something like that would be too hard to try to do now because of the sheer mass of ppl. last year we drank bloody marys and that helped a lot.

fyi i have done a LOT of ordering for RSD over the last few weeks, and have tried to get most things mentioned in this thread (wld love to getthem even made my pazz & jop top ten a couple years ago. nobody on earth hears them. nobody. possibly some local npr-type radio play and that's about it. which is too bad, because they really have put out decent folk-ish stuff over the last 5 or 6 years.

The store I work at (up until next Monday) is a contender for ordering the boring Baez reissues. I think we even still have the Hammond ones from last year. I loved the Hurt and Fahey ones from last year though, and am very excited about the Skip James and the new Hurt reissues, definitely.

They had a good a live album out in the early 80s, didn't they? 60s Baez LPs aren't nec so easy to find beyond a few

luther78San Francisco-based record label Tompkins Square announces the first in a series of releases in the 78 rpm 10" vinyl format.

The first two will feature previously unreleased recordings from Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars), and Ralph Stanley. Both 78's will be released as a limited edition of 500 copies on Record Store Day, April 21, 2012.

Luther Dickinson plays medleys of Southern melodies on his 78, including "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah/Beautiful Dreamer" on the A side and "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen/Peace in the Valley" on the B side. Ralph Stanley's 78 features "Single Girl", with "Little Birdie" on the B side.

For National Record Store Day---The Electronic Anthology Project of Dinosaur Jr.

Two years ago, Built To Spill bassist and solo artist Brett Nelson decided to put his considerable musical talents up to a bit of a challenge:

"I truly love bands like Talk Talk, Men Without Hats, and Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, but I also love bands like Dinosaur Jr., The Replacements, and The Pixies. So what if I merged my two loves together?"

The answer to that question, initially, was the first release by The Electronic Anthology Project, an EP that took seven songs from the Built To Spill catalog and reimagined them as '80s synth pop classics. Utilizing a variety of vintage 80’s synthesizers and drum machines, the project shimmered with


of vinyl albums and singles available in honor of the 5th annual Record Store Day - a celebration of the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the USA, and hundreds of similar stores internationally. Warner Bros. Records is proud to be an official sponsor of Record Store Day.

Among the most anticipated releases this weekend includes a pair of highly sought-after 7" vinyl limited edition pressings: Mastodon / Feist split 7", otherwise referred to as FEISTODON and the Mastodon / Flaming Lips Side By Side 2012 series 7" single. The members of Mastodon, currently in the middle of an extensive US tour, are avid participants of Record Store Day and wanted fans to know: "Mastodon are proud to uphold their long-standing commitment to supporting Independentmeet for the first time together on vinyl.

Looking for more unique and rare artifacts? Here at Warner Bros. Records we are strongly committed to vinyl as an art form. Last month, the label mounted its first-ever art show at its iconic Burbank headquarters. The exhibit, entitled Vinyl Revisionists, featured street artists, painters, and graphic designers reinterpreting the covers of their favorite Warner Bros. Records artists' albums. Spanning the rich 50-year musical history of label, it included imaginative interpretations of covers of albums by Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimi Hendrix, Madonna, Frank Zappa, Prince, Van Halen, Roxy Music, The Smiths, and Mastodon, among others. All the pieces are currently for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit Hollywood Arts. To view and purchase the work,


try to hit Cave later on, cuz i love them. but will see how my stamina is at that point. I mean I'd probably come home to the south side in the evening, and then have to come back up to the Bottle. Which kind of sucks. but we'll see.

I think my all-time records for shows in a row was something like 7 days! a year or two ago, I'd have to go back in my google calendar to check. but I remember that being one of the best, if most tiring, weeks of my life!

There was still a line out the door at 1:30 at Red Onion DC. Didn't go in -- SOM had a bunch of the cooler (if more common) stuff and was also doingnight was a hundred deep @ 11:30 - screw that noise! Guess I'm not the diehard I thought I was! I'm moving to a new pad soon, so less rekkids to move is probably a good thing...wish I had the energy for Cave tonight, but I'm sure I'll see 'em soon again... I hope RSD2012 was a success for all that participated - recognition of the 'record store as cultural center' is always good.

yeah, not withstanding my internet whining about limited release pricing, the vibe was pretty good at the shops today. tons of people, food and drinks (didn't see any live stuff but I'm sure it was going on)... the cashiers looked a little harried, but then christmas at the bookstore was like that too, and we

It seems like this could be really fun as a social thing, but I don't really have any friends who buy music or even have similar taste, and I don't need to spend this money anyway.

Picked up the two Oval reissues, the Get On Down 909 flexidisc/booklet, and Bisch Bosch, which I'd been putting off. Found but didn't buy the King Midas Sound 12" (there's no way I can justify $15 for a two-track single) and the Glove reissue (same re:Service of Process in France from Abroad

how to use SIGSEGV when trying to use memmove in c?

A:

src is a pointer to the string created by a string literal. You aren't allowed to modify that. You are allowed to modify the contents of arrays, so create an array that contains the string as follows:
char src[] = "this is a message, this is a new message";

Also, assuming you want to end up with this is a new message, you're starting one too soon (src[18] is a the space before this), and you're stopping two

"Merchants of Vengeance": Captain Fear's ship makes landfall in Manhattan. Jim Corrigan, who is aboard the ship, cannot remember who he is or what he is doing. He cannot even remember where he obtained the piece of the talisman that he is holding. When Captain Fear's ship approaches land

Synopsis for "Merchants of Vengeance"

Captain Fear's ship makes landfall in Manhattan. Jim Corrigan, who is aboard the ship, cannot remember who he is or what he is doing. He cannot even remember where heobtained the piece of the talisman that he is holding. When Captain Fear's ship approaches land, it floats above the streets of Manhattan. People do not see the ship as it passes; they only feel its wake of fear.

Richard Yount, who recently realized he is the reincarnated Baron Hemlocke, stands atop the roof of a skyscraper and awaits Captain Fear's arrival. He sees a blimp in the sky, and with a burst of energy from his hand he turns the blimp into his old ship. He drags his office assistant into the ship with him.

Corrigan continues to wonder who he is. He thinks the object he's holding might be a piece of something greater.

Meanwhile, Captain Fear's crew prepares for battle.

Elsewhere in the city, other corporate pirates are being

Elixir provides us a better way to do that. The |> operator takes the result of the function on the left side and passes it as a first argument of the function on its right side. If a function has more than one argument, you need to pass them except the first one.

For example next two examples are equivalent:

function ( value1 , value2 ) value1 |> function ( value2 )

Ok. Now when we become familiar with the Pipe Operator we can proceed.

In the end, we are expecting the robot to remain in the same place, but facing to the east.

To rotate the robot right, we need to know the next facing direction regarding its current direction. If


the attributes the same as before.

Let’s extend our test to check more rotation possibilities. For example, if we rotate the robot twice, it should look to the south.

test "rotates the robot to the right" do position = ToyRobot . place ( 0 , 0 , :north ) |> ToyRobot . right |> ToyRobot . report assert position == { 0 , 0 , :east } position = ToyRobot . place ( 0 , 0 , :north ) |> ToyRobot . right |> ToyRobot . right |> ToyRobot . report assert position == { 0 , 0 , :south } end

Usually, it’s considered as a bad practice to have more than one asserts per unit test, but for the sake of example let’s keep it like that for now.

It differentiates poor sleep from good sleep by measuring seven items: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction during the last month. Scoring of answers is based on a likert scale 0 to 3, whereby 3 reflects the negative extreme on the scale. A global score of "5" or greater indicates a poor sleep (Farrahi et al., [@CIT0008]).

System improves automated monitoring of security cameras

Police and security teams guarding airports, docks, and
border crossings from terrorist attack or illegal entry need to know
immediately when someone enters a prohibited area, and who they are. A network
of surveillance cameras is typically used to monitor these at-risk locations 24
hours a day, but these can generate too many images for human eyes to analyze.

Now, a system being developed by Christopher Amato, a
postdoctoral researcher at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT)'s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory (CSAIL), can perform this analysis more accurately and in a fraction
of the time it would take a human camera operator. "You can't have a
person staring at every single screen, and even if you did the person might not
know exactly what to look for," Amato says. "For example, a13 divide 0 + 14 - (-1 - g)?

binge from a high‐fat diet to chow.[21](#jne12665-bib-0021){ref-type="ref"} Such work inspired the present study, which investigates whether ghrelin is also able to increase the motivation for healthier (less palatable) foods such as chow, even in satiated rats.

The present study aimed to explore the impact of acute ghrelin delivery on progressive ratio operant responding for chow pellets in rats. We hypothesised that ghrelin delivery would increase the self‐administration of chow pellets in a similar manner to self‐administration of sucrose pellets. We also compared the effect of ghrelin delivery on food‐motivated behaviour with that induced by an overnight fasting because ghrelin is a circulating hunger hormone and its endogenous levels are elevated during fasting.[22](#jne12665-bib-0022){ref-type="ref"}, [23](#jne12665-bib-0023){ref-type="ref"}

Earned sucrose pellets were 1.4‐fold increased for both ghrelin doses and fasting compared to vehicle (ghrelin 1 μg, *P* = 0.002; ghrelin 2 μg, *P* = 0.001; fasting, *P* = 0.003).

In addition, both ghrelin doses also increased chow diet intake in both chow‐conditioned rats (ghrelin 1 μg, *P* = 0.007; ghrelin 2 μg, *P* = 0.001) (Figure [2](#jne12665-fig-0002){ref-type="fig"}C) and sucrose‐conditioned rats (ghrelin 1 μg, *P* = 0.029; ghrelin 2 μg, *P* = 0.007), measured for 1 hour after the PR sessions.

shellfish industry recognizes the consequences of ocean acidification for people today—and for future generations—to a far greater extent than the U.S. public," said Rebecca Mabardy, a former OSU graduate student and lead author of the report. "The good news is that more than half of the respondents expressed optimism—at least, guarded optimism—for the industry's ability to adapt to acidification."

Ocean acidification makes it harder for coral, phytoplankton, shellfish, and other marine organisms to build their shells and skeletal structures. Shellfish larvae are especially sensitive to acidified waters during critical, early life-stage development.

"Many have seen the negative effects of acidified water on the survival of their juvenile oysters—and those who have experienced a direct impact obviously have a higher degree of concern about the issue," said OSU marine ecologist GeorgeIgnition's upcoming adaptation of the non-canonical Book of Enoch wasn't playable at E3 last week, so the game's debut trailer (posted after the jump) is one of the few sources of info we have on El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron thus far.

wafer in a state of FIG. 6(E) where the plurality of semiconductor structures which have not been singulated are formed. FIG. 6(E) is a cross-sectional view taken along a broken line in FIG. 7(A). FIG. 7(B) is a schematic side view of one of the LED chips 500 singulated along the broken lines in FIG. 7(A). Thus, in PTL 1, through-grooves 514 are provided along cut lines of the singulation (broken lines) in portions of the conductive support body 512 located between adjacent semiconductor structures 507. Accordingly, when the lift-off layer 502 is removed as in FIGS. 6(C) to 6(D), an etchant is supplied via the through-grooves 514 to surround the semiconductor structures 507. Further, the lift-off layer 502 right under the semiconductor structures 507 is etched fromfor the Cleveland Indians, going 1-2 with a 6.28 ERA in a career-high 63 relief appearances. A fourth-round selection of the Chicago Cubs in the 2002 June Draft, Hill is 24-22 with a 4.74 ERA in 181 major league games (70 starts) for the Cubs (2005-08), Baltimore Orioles (2009), Red Sox (2010-12), and Indians (2013).

Dalier Hinojosa, RHP - Signed by the Red Sox as a free agent in October, the 28-year-old is entering his first professional season in the United States after nine campaigns in Cuba's Major League Serie Nacional for the Guantanamo Indios. He began his pro career in Cuba during the 2004-05 season as an 18-year-old, and in his final year went 9-7 with a 3.40 ERA, 115 strikeouts, and 35 walks in 19 games, including


San Francisco Giants last season, going 0-3 with a 4.22 ERA. For his major league career, the Venezuelan native is 6-11 with a 3.23 ERA in 324 games between the Minnesota Twins (2008-11), Kansas City Royals (2012), and Giants (2012-13). Signed by the Twins as an international free agent in 2002, Mijares pitched out of the bullpen for San Francisco on their run to the 2012 World Series title.

Henry Owens, LHP - Owens split last season between High-A Salem and Double-A Portland and led all full-season minor league qualifiers with a .177 opponent average while finishing second in the minor leagues with 169 strikeouts. The left-hander paced Boston's full-season farmhands with a 2.67 ERA and tied for the most wins in the system (11) en route to Red"So, you're the reckless son of a bitch who refused to abort, fainted and wrecked a multizillion-dollar module."

NPIS Birmingham has the NPIS Product Data Centre, provided by manufacturer's information, and deals with around 2,300 companies.

NPIS supports (24 hours) NHS Direct (for England and Wales) and (24 hours) NHS 24 for Scotland. Northern Ireland has its Northern Ireland Regional Medicines and Poisons Information Service in Belfast, and NPIS is used when this is not available. The Republic of Ireland uses the service, via the TOXBASE database, which is used by the country's National Poisons Information Centre.

Of all UK nations, Wales has the highest proportionate number of enquiries to the service, with Northern Ireland the fewest. Within England, there is a distribution of higher number of enquiries to the service in the north than the south, with NHS North East having the highest and NHS SouthPolarization-dependent strong coupling between surface plasmon polaritons and excitons in an organic-dye-doped nanostructure.
In this work, we demonstrate polarization-dependent strong coupling between surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and excitons in the J-aggregates-attached aperture array. It is shown that the excitons strongly couple with the polarization-dependent SPPs, and Rabi splittings are consequently observed. As a result, the polarization-dependent polariton bands are generated in the system. Increasing the incident angle, the polaritons disperse to higher energies under transverse-electric illumination, while the polaritons disperse to lower energies under transverse-magnetic illumination. Therefore, at different polarization incidence, we experimentally achieve distinct polaritons with opposite dispersion directions. In this way, tuning the polarization of the incident light, we can excite different polaritons whose energy propagates to different directions. Furthermore, by retrieving the mixing fractions of the


feedback on our announcements, direction, and roadmap from all of the Xamarin Developer Summit attendees. Every attendee was given a Xamarin-themed poker chip and asked to vote for a potential future Xamarin.Forms feature. Once they voted, they filled out a survey in exchange for Xamarin swag. Nearly all of the attendees participated, and Faster App Startup is the winning feature!

Additionally, many Xamarin PMs, Cloud Developer Advocates, and engineers were at the conference. They took this opportunity to chat with community members, sharing advice, and giving talks of their own.

Videos on Demand

Each day of the conference we hosted a full live stream of the Microsoft track at the conference that thousands of developers tuned in for. You can watch all talks by Microsoft employees on the Xamarin Developers YouTubeChannel.

A great place to start is with the main keynote: A Glimpse Into the Future of Xamarin:

Thank You!

The first Xamarin Developer Summit was a huge success. It was so inspiring to be around such passionate people. Our to-do lists are growing with all of the feedback we got from you all this week! Thank you to everyone involved with planning and executing this outstanding conference. Especially Dan Siegel from AvantiPoint and Claudio Sanchez from Megsoft, who spearheaded the event. See you next year!

Group of the Diet* (Nippon Kaigi kokkai giin kondan-kai), most of them of the conservative wing of the LDP, amounting to about 40% of the entire Parliament.

*Nippon Kaigi* was formed in 1997 from a merger of two other organizations, namely the *National Council to Defend Japan* (Nihon wo Mamoru Kokumin no Kaigi), an association of conservative politicians, former military staff, and intellectuals, and the *Society to Protect Japan* (Nihon wo Mamoru Kai), an association of conservative religious groups such as the *Shintō Shrine Association* (Jinja Honchō) or the religious sect *Seichō ni ie*. Despite their heterogeneous origins, these groups share common goals, namely the preservation of Japan\'s beautiful traditional national character, embodied by the imperial household, the adoption of a new constitution suited to a new age, givingbeing confronted with sexist sneers such as "You are the one who must get married as soon as possible!"

In a statement reprinted in *Tōkyō Shimbun\'*s abovementioned article, U.S.-based anthropologist Tomomi Yamaguchi argues that it is hardly surprising, in light of Japan Council\'s support for traditional family values, that the antifeminist hecklers in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly were members of the Council\'s provincial assemblyman\'s alliance. In his statement, Yamaguchi even goes as far as drawing a parallel between the despicable behavior of the two assemblymen
