While plaintiff's agent was at the airport preparing to make arrangements to fly the airplane to California, Taylor appeared at the airport and discussed the situation with him. When Taylor objected to the repossession, the agent suggested that Taylor discuss the repossession with plaintiff's attorney in Oakland, which Taylor did on the telephone. Thereafter, Taylor's attitude changed decidedly, and he appeared agreeable to the repossession, handed the airplane keys to the agent, and discussed the flying of the plane with him. The agent then flew the plane back to Oakland. It was later sold by plaintiff at public auction to itself, and then resold for a somewhat higher price, but still substantially less


question of choice of law with respect to this issue, our research indicates that different rules prevail in California[4] and Arizona as to the requirement of evidence of reasonable value of attorney's fees. As to this issue, the local law of the forum is the applicable law under Restatement of the Law, 2nd, Conflict of Laws, §§ 122 and 135, and Arizona law will therefore be applied to determine the necessity for and sufficiency of evidence to establish the reasonable value of the attorney's fees sought.
The contract included an agreement by the buyer to pay a reasonable attorney's fee in the event of enforcement action, and under Arizona law this provision would have entitled plaintiff to recover such fee had it chosen to introduce any evidence as tonot give the notice of intention to retake described in § 44-317, he shall retain the goods for ten days after the retaking within the state in which they were located when retaken...."

Multidimensional assessment of coping: a critical evaluation.
Several existing self-report measures of coping and the relevant research using these instruments are reviewed. Many of these coping measures suffer from a variety of psychometric weaknesses. A self-report instrument, the Multidimensional Coping Inventory (MCI), was constructed that identifies 3 types of coping styles: task-oriented, emotion-oriented, and avoidance-oriented coping. Support for the multidimensional nature of the MCI is presented, along with support for the reliability of the MCI coping scales. Two studies are presented that assessed the validity of the MCI. The 1st study assessed the construct validity of the MCI by comparing it with the Ways of Coping Questionnaire. The 2nd study also assessed the criterion validity of the MCI by comparing it with measures of depression, anxiety, Type A behaviour,Congratulations for building a true Atrial Fibrillation health movement in HealthUnlocked!

The trypsin-like activity is inhibited by leupeptin (Ki = 1.2 x 10(-6) M) and by sulfhydryl blocking agents, and activated by thiols, suggesting that this activity is due to a thiol protease. The peptidylglutamyl-peptide hydrolyzing activity is activated almost 10-fold by low concentrations of sodium dodecylsulfate, inhibited by bovine serum albumin, and suppressed at high enzyme concentrations, suggesting that this component readily interacts with other proteins, including the complex itself. The results indicate that cation-sensitive neutral endopeptidase is a multicatalytic protease complex whose distinct proteolytic activities are associated with separate components of this high-molecular weight protein.

A test explosion on a Boeing 747 suggests that a US Christmas Day flight would have landed safely even if a bomb on board was detonated successfully.

The test plane's fuselage did not break in the controlled blast, which used the same amount of explosive allegedly carried by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

Mr Abdulmutallab, 23, has denied attempting to murder 289 people by trying to blow up a flight to Detroit with a device hidden in his underwear.

The experiment was carried out by UN explosives expert Dr John Wyatt and analysed by air accident investigator Captain J Joseph.

for partial summary judgment on Count One. After holding a hearing
on the motions on July 2, 1998, the district court issued an Order
dated August 20, 1998 (the August 20 Order) with an accompanying
opinion granting Dickson's motion for partial summary judgment and
denying Defendants' cross-motion for summary judgment. The
August 20 Order declared the 1997 stock issuance to be in violation
of Dickson's preemptive rights because it failed to offer her the
opportunity to maintain her proportionate interest and voting power

Next, Appellants argue that Dickson was not entitled to preemptive
rights in the 1997 stock issuance, because it falls under the "impracti-
cability" exception to preemptive rights, formerly codified in § 2-
205(a) of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Maryland
Code. That section provides in relevant part:


the 1997 stock issuance to Smith and the
three Schmidt vice-presidents was issued without the approval of a
two-thirds vote of the stockholders. As a result, the 1997 stock issu-
ance was not "on terms and conditions approved by the stockholders
by the affirmative vote of two thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast
on the matter," and could not be issued without preemptive rights
under the exception in § 2-205(a)(7).

Furthermore, we reject Appellants' contention that the 1997 stock
issuance may still be issued without preemptive rights under the "im-
practicability" exception in § 2-205(a)(8) even if Appellants cannot
avail themselves of the exception in § 2-205(a)(7). Section 2-
205(a)(8) provides that a stockholder does not have preemptive rights
in "[a]ny other issuance of shares if the applicability of preemptive
rights is impracticable." Md. Code Ann., Corps. &US President Donald Trump is the politician who British people would most like to see don a space suit and be exiled to the Moon to mark the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing, a new poll reveals.

Algorithm \[alg:unified\_Binary\] can also handle oracles with a random behavior. $\beta=1$ is sufficient for distance-weak oracles.

#### Local Distance-Weak Oracle {#subsec:dist_weak_local}

We define the first weak-oracle model sensitive to distance, a local distance-weak oracle, in a formal way to include two vague situations described before. These confusing cases for local distance-weak oracle are visually depicted in Figure \[fig:local\_dist\_weak\] for better explanation.

![Visual representation of two *not-sure* cases for the local distance-weak oracle. (*Left*) Two points from the different clusters are too close. (*Right*) Two points from the same clusters are too far.[]{data-label="fig:local_dist_weak"}](fig_local_dist_weak){width=".7\linewidth"}

\[def:weak\_oracle\_dist\_local\] An oracle having a clustering ${\mathcal{C}}=\{C_1,\cdots,C_k\}$ for data ${\mathcal{X}}$


is said to be $(\nu,\rho)$ local distance-weak with parameters $\nu\geq 1$ and $\rho\in(0,1]$, if $Q(x,y)=0$ for any given two points $x,y \in {\mathcal{X}}$ satisfying one of the following conditions: $$\begin{aligned}
    &\text{(a)}~d(x,y)<(\nu-1)\min\{d(x,\mu_i),d(y,\mu_j)\},\text{ where } x\in C_i, y\in C_j, i\neq j\\
    &\text{(b)}~d(x,y)>2\rho r(C_i),\text{ where }x,y\in C_i
    \end{aligned}$$

One way to overcome the uncertainty is to provide at least one good point in a query, i.e. *better pairs*. If one of the points $x$ and $y$ for the query $Q(x,y)$ is close enough to the center of a cluster, a local distance-weak oracle does not get confused in answering. This situation is realistic because one representative data sample of a cluster might be a good baseline when comparing to other elements.

Poetry Park is a
resource dedicated to contemporary poetry. Like the best of parks, it is full
of variety and constantly growing. Our seasons are the events around us. The
small and the vast, the sweet and the ugly of everyday happenings; the
personal and the public . We are a garden of reflection and a humble
chronicle.

Ours is a park with
open gates. Gardens to be shared for a moment's respite in a stroll, or a
longer sojourn on a bench amid the verses. We, the poets and the keepers,
want you to enjoy the beds and lawns, the woods and water features, of our
world.

The BTC-e Saga

Wex is the successor to BTC-e, Russia’s oldest cryptocurrency exchange. It was established in 2011 and remained a leading trading platform for the Russian-speaking crypto community until last summer. BTC-e then went offline following the arrest of its suspected co-owner, Alexander Vinnik, in Greece in July 2017.

Vinnik has been accused of a number of crimes by U.S. prosecutors. They allege that he laundered $4 billion through the exchange, including bitcoins that were stolen in the Mt Gox hack. Authorities in the U.S., the Russian


Federation and France have requested his extradition.

BTC-e has always denied any connection with Vinnik. The platform was relaunched under the Wex name in mid-September 2017. The new company, which is registered in Singapore, has also denied having any links with the owners of the operator of BTC-e, Canton Business Corp., an entity that is based in the Seychelles.

However, Wex has agreed to compensate BTC-e clients who have suffered losses. Dmitriy Vasiliev, Wex’s owner and director, has reportedly negotiated the purchase of BTC-e, its infrastructure and remaining assets. The new platform has kept the old interface and even the original accounts of BTC-e users.

Make sure you do notstatistics of the actual visual aspects of the film.Weliky found two surprises. First, while the neurons of adult ferrets statistically seemed to respond similarly to the statistics of the film itself, younger ferrets had almost no relationship. This suggests that though the young ferrets are taking in and processing visual stimuli, they're not processing the stimuli in a way that reflects reality."You might think of this as a sort of dyslexia," explains Weliky. "It may be that in very young brains, the processing takes place in a way that's not necessarily disordered, but not analogous to how we understand reality to be. It's thought that dyslexia works somewhat like this-that some parts of the brain process written words in an unusual way and seem to make beginnings of


is among the first to test these visual neurons while the subject is awake and watching something. In the past, researchers would perhaps shine a light at an unconscious ferret and note which areas of the brain responded, but while that method narrowed the focus to how a single cell responds, it eliminated the chance to understand how the neural network of a conscious animal would respond. Accepting all the neural traffic of a conscious brain as part of the equation let Weliky get a better idea of the actual processing going on. As it turned out, one of his control tests yielded insight into neural activity no one expected.When the ferrets were in a darkened room, Weliky expected their visual neurons to lack any kind of activitysuggests that with your eyes closed, your visual processing is already running at 80 percent, and that opening your eyes only adds the last 20 percent. The big question here is what is the brain doing when it's idling, because it's obviously doing something important."Since the young ferrets do not display similar patterns, the 'idling' isn't necessary for life or consciousness, but since it's present in the adults even without stimulus, Weliky suggests it may be what gives subjects an understanding of reality. The eye takes in an image and the brain processes the image, but 80 percent of the activity may be a representation of the world replicated inside the ferret's brain."The basic findings are exciting enough, but you can't help but speculate on what they might

Professor David Burghes has a consistent and outstanding record of developing international partnerships with University of Plymouth to deliver innovative programmes to enhance Maths teaching across the globe. David's work as Director of the Centre for Innovation in Maths Teaching (CiMT) has created an international reputation for$2$, for example, is a pair $ef$ with $e,f\in E^1$ and $s(e)=r(f)$. We mention this because in his first paper [@K], Katsura used a different convention, and one has to be careful when consulting the literature because there are other conventions out there. Each such graph $E$ has a Hilbert bimodule $X(E)$ described in [@Ra Chapter 9]. It is usually a completion of $C_c(E^1)$, but here the spaces $E^0$ and $E^1$ are always compact, and then no completion is necessary because the norm on $X(E)$ is equivalent (as a vector-space norm) to the usual supremum norm on $C(E^1)=X(E)$. For reference, we recall that the module actions are given by $(a\cdot x\cdot b)(z)=a(r(z))x(z)b(s(z))$ and the inner product by $\langle x,y\rangle(z)=\sum_{s(w)=z} \overline{x(w)}y(w)$.

KMS states
----------

We use the same conventions for KMS states as


Notice in particular that $\varepsilon(Z)>0$. We can find a finite open cover $\{U_j:1\leq j\leq I\}$ of $Z$ by sets such that $h|_{U_j}$ is a homeomorphism, and we can find open sets $\{V_j:1\leq j\leq I\}$ which still cover $Z$ but have $\overline{V_j}\subset U_j$ (see [@tfb Lemma 4.32], for example). Since $\varepsilon(Z)>0$, there exists $j$ such that $\varepsilon(V_j)>0$. Now choose a function $f\in C_c(Z)$ such that $f(z)\not=0$ for $z\in V_j$ and ${\operatorname{supp}}f\subset U_j$. Then the left action of $|f|^2\in C(Z)$ on $X(E)$ is implemented by the finite-rank operator $\Theta_{f,f}$, and hence $$\begin{aligned}
\pi(|f|^2)-\psi(f)\psi(f)^*&=\pi(|f|^2)-(\psi,\pi)^{(1)}(\Theta_{f,f})\\
&=\pi(|f|^2)-(\psi,\pi)^{(1)}(\varphi(|f|^2))\end{aligned}$$ belongs to the kernel of the quotient map $q$. But with $\mu$ as in Theorem \[th1\], we have $$\begin{aligned}
\phi_\varepsilon(\pi(|f|^2)-\psi(f)\psi(f)^*)
&=\int |f|^2\,d\mu-e^{-\beta}\int \sum_{h(w)=z}|f|^2(w)\,d\mu\\
&=\int |f|^2\,d(\mu-e^{-\beta}R\mu)=\int |f|^2\,d\varepsilon>0.\end{aligned}$$ Thus $\phi_\varepsilon$ does not vanish on $\ker q$, and we have a contradiction. Thus $\beta\leq \beta_c$.

Suppose thatrecall that $\rho(A)=\max\{\rho(A_{E\backslash C}),\rho(A_C)\}$. Thus $$\begin{aligned}
\sum_{v\in E^0}A^N(v,w)
&\leq\beta_C\rho(A)^N+\sum_{k=0}^{N-1}|E^0\backslash C|\beta'(N-1-k)^{n-1}\rho(A)^{N-1-k}\rho(A)^k\\
&\leq\beta_C\rho(A)^N+N|E^0\backslash C|\beta'(N-1)^{n-1}\rho(A)^{N-1}\\
&\leq \big(\beta_C+|E^0\backslash C|\beta'\big)N^{n}\rho(A)^{N},\end{aligned}$$ and $\beta_E:=\beta_C+|E^0\backslash C|\beta'$ has the required property. (Since $\beta_E$ is then larger than $\beta_{E\backslash C}$, the cases $w\in E^0\backslash C$ and $A=(0)$ are covered too.)

For $z\in E^\infty$, $|\sigma^{-1}(z)|$ is the $r(z)$-column sum of $A$, so we wish to estimate $\sum_v A^N(v,w)$ in terms of $\rho(A)$. We can order the vertices of $E$ to ensure that $A$ is an upper-triangular block matrix whose diagonal blocks are either $(0)$ or $A_C$ for some nontrivial component of $E$ (see [@aHLRS2 §2.3], for example). Thus $\rho(A)=\max_C \rho(A_C)$. Because $E$ has at least one cycle, $\rho(A)=\rho(A_C)$ for some nontrivial component $C$. Then from the right-hand estimate in , we have for every $N\geq 1$ $$\label{LHest}
\rho(A)^N=\rho(A_C)^N\leq\max_{w\in C}\sum_{v\in C}A_C^N(v,w)
\leq\max_{w\in E^0}\sum_{v\in E^0}A^N(v,w).$$ Thus Lemma \[RHest\] implies

Thai-American story

There’s a lot that can be mucked up in a show featuring Thai-Americans, a group not often represented on U.S. stages. In fact, “Paranormal” playwright Prince Gomolvilas insists he’s the only Thai-American playwright writing today.

“Whenever I talk to a journalist, I always ask them to prove me wrong,” he said. “I heard recently from a Thai-American student who said she’s interested in mywork and playwriting, so maybe I’ll have some company soon.”

Gomolvilas worked on “Paranormal” for several years, with a handful of theater companies expressing interest all at once. As a result, the play is getting five productions across the country over the next year, in what Gomolvilas calls a “rolling premiere.” On Wednesday, the first of those productions opens under the aegis of Pan Asian Repertory Theatre in New York City. Then there’s a formal opening at Penumbra in St. Paul the following day. Stagings will follow in Seattle and Indianapolis, the playwright’s birthplace.

Concurrent productions only enrich the play, said Gomolvilas, speaking by phone from New York, where he was attending tech rehearsals. (He plans to catch the Penumbra production over the weekend.) “I’m continually doing rewrites, changes and

“To this day, most white people in Bogalusa know who the killers were, and they were never brought to justice,” said Lance Hill, a Tulane University law professor and Klan expert.

That past now seems less distant.

On Nov. 10, local law enforcement authorities arrested Raymond “Chuck” Foster, 44, the leader of a Bogalusa Klan chapter called the Sons of Dixie, and seven other Klan members in connection with the shooting death of a Tulsa, Okla., woman who went to the group’s remote campsite in St. Tammany Parish for an initiation ceremony.

Authorities say Foster shot the woman when she tried to change her mind about joining the group. He has been charged with second-degree murder; the other Klan members, including Foster’s 20-year-old son, have been

A Thing That R.A. Dickey Did Yesterday

A thing that Mets right-hander R.A. Dickey did on Thursday was to tie his career-high in strikeouts, with 13.

Another Thing R.A. Dickey Did Yesterday

Another thing R.A. Dickey did on Thursday was to record his 12th strikeout — against Pirates outfielder Garrett Jones in the eighth inning — was to record it via the changeup, a pitch he throws about one percent of the time or zero percent of the time.

Jose Mourinho took over as manager at Old Trafford on 27 May, 2016

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has signed a contract extension until 2020, with the option of a further year.

The 54-year-old's previous deal at Old Trafford was due to expire in 2019.

Mourinho said he was "delighted" that United "feel and trust that I am the right manager for this great club for the foreseeable future".

"I feel a privileged one to work with such a fantastic group of boys," he added.

"My initial contract was three years, we made now the decision to make it clear for everyone that it is not for three, it is for four or five, and who knows, more."

Mourinho, appointed as Louis van Gaal's successor in MayRhinorrhea and pneumocephalus after cerebrospinal fluid shunting. The role of lateral extensions of the sphenoid sinus.
Pneumocephalus is usually seen after trauma or neurologic surgery. A rare presentation is after cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting for rhinorrhea. This may be a manifestation of shunt malfunction or of the failure to close a preexisting fistulous tract. A common site of failure is the sphenoid sinus, where CSF may leak from a dehiscence in the middle cranial fossa floor. These dehiscences often communicate with lateral extensions of the sphenoid. This complication is best managed by craniotomy with direct inspection of the floor of the middle cranial fossa and correction of deranged CSF dynamics.

regions and with decreased activation in predominantly left temporo-limbic and cingulate areas. Factor analysis revealed that these performance-correlated regions were grouped into two separate networks comprised of positively activated and negatively activated intercorrelated regions. Poor performers failed to significantly activate or deactivate these networks, whereas good performers either activated the positive or deactivated the negative network, or did both. The fact that both increased activation of task-specific areas and increased deactivation of task-irrelevant areas mediate cognitive functions underlying good RVIP task performance suggests two independent circuits, presumably reflecting different cognitive strategies, can be recruited to perform this vigilance task.  biological    mother,      J.C.P.,    concealed     his    parentage

Sandholm’s success with his program lends weight to the words. This year his bot won both categories of competition for heads-up no-limit at the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Annual Computer Poker Competition, beating each opponent along the way with statistical significance.

The idea of a ‘poker bot’ has captivated the collective consciousness of the poker world since the inception of online poker. For the dubious, the idea that they could be playing poker against a machine was disconcerting. For futurists the possibility of applying computer science to the game was exciting. The truth is that people have been creating bots and running them in online games for at least a decade, with the first commercially available program, called “WinHoldEm,” even being featured prominently in techmagazine Wired.

The New York Times even wrote a feature on bots in 2011, with the conclusion of the article being that, for now, most human players should not fear playing against bots. One reason is because the top online poker sites have sophisticated methods of identifying robotic players and actively hunt for them.

But Prof. Sandholm also notes that while the bots out there might be sophisticated enough to be winning players, they aren’t nearly as strong as the top bots that he has created and competed against. “They aren’t very good. The current ones that are out there now, some of them have participated in the AAAI competition and turned out to be not very good.“

So, bots are currently out in the marketplace, but for now researchers at


The effects of vinblastine on the cell structure and activity in the rat incisor enamel organ during the secretory stage in vivo as shown by radioautography using 3H-proline, 3H-serine and 3H-fucose.
Four hours after injection of vinblastine sulphate (VBL) the cells of the enamel organ of the rat incisor showed: 1) loss of polarity in the tall secretory ameloblasts--secretory granules, which were lacking in the Tomes processes accumulated in the supranuclear area; condensing vacuoles also accumulated near dictyosomes; enlarged intercellular spaces without disruption of intercellular junctions; lysosomal structures and autophagic vacuoles. 2) an increase of lysosome-like structures in the outer enamel epithelium, the stellate reticulum and the stratum intermedium. 3) a severe reduction in number of free ribosomes in the stratum intermedium as well as an increase in sizeshown in FIG. 1B, switch model 100 comprises three states: “on”, “off” and “burnt”. The conditions that affect those states are the value of the input pin c (0 or 1) and the power dissipated by the switch (given by Ohm's law as the product of the voltage v by the current i). Setting the control pin to 0 results in the switch turning off, and setting the control pin to 1 results in the switch turning on. If the power dissipated in the switch exceeds a predetermined value pmax, then the switch moves into the “burnt” state.
In a mixed-signal finite state machine model (hereinafter model), the analog variables are defined through distinct equations depending on which state is active. For example in switch model 100, the current


In state “off”, switch model 100 provides a high resistance roff to current flowing between the p and m terminals. In state “on”, it provides a minimal resistance ron. In state “burnt”, switch model 100 allows no current to flow between the p and m terminals.
When a transition occurs in switch model 100, the simulator has to cope with stiff change in the model equations. If no precautions are taken during the model elaboration, the discontinuity in the analog equations is likely to result in simulation convergence problems. Specifically, it can cause spikes (e.g. unreal abrupt changes in voltage or current), higher sensitivity to simulation parameters (e.g. truncation error, time step, etc.), excessive CPU times, and/or aborted simulations.

Alternatively, in order to simplify large scale recombinant protein production, FAAH was expressed and purified as a recombinant maltose binding protein (MBP) fusion protein from *E.coli* (Figure [2D](#F2){ref-type="fig"}, E).

[Effect of diazoxide on the AS-30D rat ascites hepatoma cells treated by Cd2+].
For the last years, in several investigations, including ours, it was shown that oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction mediated by disturbance of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and by induction of Ca2+ -dependent nonselective high-conductance pore of the inner mitochondrial membrane are involved in mechanism(s) of cytotoxic action of heavy metals. At the same time, possible interaction of heavy metals with other channels, in particular, with selective potassium channels, such as ATP-dependent potassium channels, which are generally considered to be protective for the cells, have not been studied. The aim of the present work was to examine the effect of diazoxide, an activator of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channels, on mitochondrial physiology and cell survival in the presenceUnion Ministry of Home Affairs in 2014 made direct links between NPR and NRC.

Accordingly, Government has decided to create National Register of Indian Citizens (NRIC) by verifying citizenship status of all persons in the National Population Register (NPR) and issue National Identity Cards to all the Citizens of India.”

I recently studied Engineering at BYU. Most of my professors gave a testimony at some point, that they knew how important school and learning were and how much studying Engineering would help us, even the girls because Engineering is a great major to prepare for motherhood. I never heard even one male teacher in the department acknowledge that a female might have a career after marriage/kids. Some of the smartest people in our class were female. On awards night at the end of senior year, not a single female received an award based on anything but straight GPA. They did recognize one amazingly talented woman by nominatingrage and hurt under control. When I got my home my dad didn’t understand why I was upset. He figured if I was angry and hurt it was because I was being called to repentance and it was a message I needed to hear.

I left for college that fall. I attended a liberal women’s college in Southern California. The next 4 years solidified my own brand of feminism and, I know keep, set me on a path that eventually led me to leaving the church when I discovered I was pregnant with a little girl. I knew I never wanted her to feel the way I did sitting in that crowded cultural hall.

you all will be happy to know i just got a vegan lunch and dinner, lol.

get too skinny on the vegan diet, i know vegan body builders exist but most vegans look like twigs, if i didn't already look like a twig i wouldn't mind that i lose a tremendous amount of wieght and strength from the vegan diet, i've tried it several times and still 90% of my meals are veganisque, i've never been big on dairy so thats not really the issue but giving up meat completely is something very hard for me to do.

I'd completely disagree about there not being a humane

As for drug use, that is your choice and irrelevant to the issue of veganism and animal cruelty. If anyone calls you a hypocrite for that they should open a dictionary. I would however recommend getting off those crappy pharmaceutical chemical concoctions. Why use their sub-par expensive trash when nature provides it all healthier, higher quality and free? Cannabis, salvia, DMT, ayahuasca, iboga, peyote, magic mushrooms, morning glory seeds etc. There are severaland the world like eat junk food, drink alcohol, repress emotions, get enraged, get depressed, start shit with others, close themselves off, tighten up, think rigidly, impatient, make rash decisions, etc. etc. Relaxed people tend to be more healthy, positive, friendly, warm, loving, compassionate, forgiving, helpful, etc. etc. I think people would be surprised how positively their life would change if every day they made a point to eat raw vegan food, drink alkaline water, do pranayama deep breathing, yoga stretching, give/receive massages and get plenty of sleep. Anyway, thanks again for the encouragement! Peace

The most natural birth control method is abstinence during the 7-10 day window of conception. Further to this though there are other natural methods of male birth control like eating papaya seeds or a regiment of soaking your balls in very hot water. Dr. Morse was talking about making an herbal contraceptive... not sure if he's gotten around to that yet. Natural alternatives do exist but there's not much info"group." Any group you don't like you can call a cult and the gullible public will latch onto that term and thereafter think negatively about the organization. We're passionate, motivated people trying to help awaken and heal the world while making some money to support ourselves from it. If you don't jive with their style that's fine, but comparing and condemning them to the likes of Jim Jones for helping people with the raw vegan lifestyle is ludicrous.

I think you should examine your personal bias and look up what a cult really is. It appears to me you allow free thought here. I'll elaborate later but I really hope you are joking. You don't even have to post this but I'm truly second guessing your logic here. I


force people to enter. Although religious indoctrination would start from a young age typically. The bottom line is that it truly does fit the definition of a cult. Extremely rigid ideology. The negative results are apparent in some of the members. I've seen some evidence that contradicts your opinion of Harley and Freelea but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they were saying what they said in fun...and providing some "tough love" as they also call it in AA... lol

I find it hypocritical that you are a self labeled anarchist (I think) yet are basically protecting a cult (like I said they are all "voluntary"). You are essentially admitting that it is a cult although you are padding it with saying that there are manywe see as moral. Yet what about non-human animals who are dumb (according to our standards), ugly (according to our biases) and amoral? The main consideration should be whether another being can suffer and can desire a life that is natural for that species. Even scientists who denied these qualities in non-human animals are opening their eyes to reality.

Some lucky animals are considered worthy of human protection and affection, but many are treated as slaves or commodities.

I think of elephants who work in countries such as India and perform in circuses in the United States. The babies are torn from their mothers and broken in spirit through extremely cruel methods of training.

I think of the animals who suffer and die because their flesh and bodily products (dairy and


Adipose-derived stem cells undergo spontaneous osteogenic differentiation in vitro when passaged serially or seeded at low density.
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a convenient source of cells for regenerating tissue. Widespread application of ADSCs requires that they propagate efficiently and differentiate in vitro. We investigated the differentiation potential of ADSCs during long-term expansion in vitro and when the cells were seeded at low density. ADSCs were isolated from the inguinal fat pads of 3-week-old male rats, then cultured serially for 12 passages; some ADSCs at passage 3 were seeded at low density. The differentiation potential of ADSCs from passage 3 to passage 12 was assessed by their capacity for adipogenesis and osteogenesis while cultured in specific induction media. Spontaneous osteogenesis of ADSCs at passage 12 and of ADSCs thatAnyone going to get the new iPhone4?

Several Republicans were at odds with the president after a bipartisan gun control summit.

President Donald Trump hosted a televised session with lawmakers on Wednesday in which he asked Congress to send him a single bill to reduce gun violence.

The session came two weeks after the February 14 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School left 17 people dead. The survivors of the shooting have pushed for accountability and legislation, and Trump responded by expressing his willingness to address gun reform. But on Wednesday, back-and-forth arguments between Trump and members of both parties occasionally dominated the conversation.

During the four-hour bipartisan meeting, Trump signaled his support for strengthening background checks, raising the minimum age to buy some firearms, taking guns away from the mentally ill, and allowing “very talentedlength.

The reason that marijuana is, and should remain, illegal is that the drug itself is harmful to the individual and to the community. This is the assessment of the medical and the law enforcement community. Increasingly, this is the assessment of young people as well, since marijuana use has plummeted by 25 percent over the past five years. Young people apparently agree with Australian researchers, who recently characterized marijuana, based on their comparative studies of youths who used versus those who did not, as “the drug for life’s losers.” Removing legal penalties would only make this drug more accessible, its

Probability matching in visual selective attention.
Jonides (1980, p. 111) suggested a model to account for shifts of spatial attention in visual search tasks with less than 100% cue validity. This two-stage probability matching model was subsequently tested by Jonides (1983). Reaction time distribution characteristics indeed provided some support for the model. In the present paper the relevant data presented in Jonides (1980, 1981, 1983) are further analysed. The results of this analysis strongly support the probability matching hypothesis. Probability matching is apparently a very important strategic characteristic of visual spatial attention that deserves much more study.namespace Contoso.Core

Voluntary alcohol drinking and acetaldehyde metabolism in F2 hybrid crosses of AA and ANA rat lines.
Alcohol-preferring AA and alcohol-avoiding ANA rat lines differ in their acetaldehyde metabolism and this has been suggested to be one reason for their different ethanol drinking behavior. To study whether acetaldehyde accumulation is indeed associated with alcohol drinking behavior and to evaluate which enzymatic differences previously observed in these rat lines are of importance in this regard, we produced an F2 generation from them. ADH and ALDH activities, and ALDH patterns were then assessed from these hybrids and correlated with their voluntary ethanol drinking and blood acetaldehyde concentrations measured during ethanol metabolism. A significant negative correlation between voluntary ethanol intake and blood acetaldehyde concentration was observed in F2 females drinking less than 17%son..."

The mechanism of the control of carbon fixation by the pH in the chloroplast stroma. Studies with nitrite-mediated proton transfer across the envelope.
1. CO2 fixation of intact spinach chloroplasts is inhibited by nitrite in a pH-dependent mode. At pH 7.3 in the medium 1 mM NaNO2 and at pH 7.9 5 mM NaNO2 were required for 50% inhibition. 2. The addition of nitrite leads to an acidificiation in the stroma. It appears that nitrite renders the envelope permeable for protons resulting in a breakdown of the pH gradient between the external space and the stroma. 3. In view of earlier results on the pH sensitivity of C02 fixation it is concluded that this pH shift in the stroma is responsible for the observed inhibition of CO2 fixation byBeing a Student Parent: How Policy Is Improving for the Next Generation

Dry powder inhalers are subdivided into single dose devices and multi-dose inhalers. Multi-dose inhalers are further subdivided into pre-metered types where the doses are stored individually and into metering inhalers where the powder dose is metered in the device.
Multi-dose pre-metered inhalers have the advantage that the single doses are metered under strict factory conditions and the powder can quite easily be isolated from the atmosphere. In many applications, the active duct powder is mixed with a carrier, such as lactose which tends to absorb humidity from the atmosphere which makes it stick together and difficult to de-agglomerate.

Hi,

In the last couple of days i worked on deployment of Prometheus server and agent for Kafka monitoring. In that purpose i will share with you the main points that you need to do in order to achieve this.

First thing to do is to use the prometheus and grafana modules that you will find at the following links:

https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/prometheus

https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/grafana

After these are imported in puppet you need to create the following puppet files:

grafana.pp

class profiles::grafana { class { '::grafana': cfg => { app_mode => 'production', server => { http_port => 8080, }, database => { type => 'sqlite3', host => '127.0.0.1:3306', name => 'grafana', user => 'root', password => 'grafana', }, users => { allow_sign_up => false, }, }, } }

puppetserver.pp

class profiles::prometheusserver { $kafka_nodes=hiera(profiles::prometheusserver::nodes) if $kafka_nodes { class {'::prometheus': global_config =>symmetric by reflection in the active spin), which for next convenience we now disaggregate in two sets of dual events namely, pairing and diffusion of kinks. Also, after introducing the parameters $$\label{pq}

Owing to these latter note in passing that at $T=0$ and $0 < r < 1$ all AF domains would be irreversibly removed by pairing, while the remaining set of diffusion processes would maintain all kinks separated in at least two lattice spacings.

grows exponentially with the system size, an operational counterpart of Eq.(\[elements\]) is needed to implement the recurrence techniques of Sec.III. On the other hand, to downsize at least part of those memory requirements, we now turn to a two-to-one mapping $\sigma_i \equiv - S_i S_{i+1}$ in which new Ising variables standing on dual locations denote the presence/absence of the kinks referred to above. As depicted in Table \[tab1\], in that representation the Liouvillian must account for both of the process types brought about by flipping one of the originals $S_i$. In that regard, if we think of the states $\vert \sigma_1,\,\dots\,\sigma_L \rangle$ as representing configurations of $\frac{1}{2}$-spinors (say in the $z$ direction), then the operational analog of Eq.(\[elements\]) can be readily obtained with the aid of raising and lowering- \sigma^z_{i+1} \right)\right]\,

(compare with symmetrized elements of Table \[tab1\]), whilst the diagonal projectors of Eq.(\[proj\]) remain unchanged. Thus, after some algebraic manipulations we are finally led to the symmetric counterparts of Eqs.(\[pairing\]) and (\[diffusion\]), namely

$$\begin{aligned}

{\cal H}_{nd}^{^{(pair)}} & = & - \frac{1}{4}\,\sum_i \left[\, A_{_+} +

\left(\,\sigma^+_{i-1}\,\sigma^-_i + {\rm h.c.}\,\right)\,,\end{aligned}$$

where the $A_{\pm}$ and $B$ coefficients are given by

\[coef1\] $$\begin{aligned}
A_{\pm} &=& \frac{1}{2} \left(\,{\rm sech}\,Q + {\rm sech}\,P\,\right)

When it comes to the diagonal terms of Eq.(\[elements\]), in the kink representation these basically count the number of ways in which a

In fact this latter could be extended up to $r = 0.4$ although due to the convergence slowing mentioned before, no results are in our disposal for $L \ge 22$.

Concluding Discussion
=====================

Recapitulating, we have constructed a symmetric spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ representation of the 1D Glauber dynamics with both first and second neighbor interactions by which we analyzed the scaling behavior

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:
(1) Plaintiff's motion to withdraw reference to the bankruptcy court is granted;
(2) The reference to the bankruptcy court of the plaintiff's adversary proceeding against the debtor in Bankruptcy Case No. 87 B 08358 is withdrawn;
(3) The automatic stay of Civil Case No. 82-C-1025 is lifted;
(4) This action shall be consolidated with Civil Action No. 82-C-1025 for all purposes; and
(5) The consolidated cases shall proceed in this court.
NOTES
[1]  The district court also determined that under no circumstances could the jury infer from the facts presented any basis that would allow recovery by the plaintiff. Additionally, the court noted that under § 1983 the acts of law enforcement officials leading to


that withdrawal of the reference is mandatory.
[4]  Section 523(c), 11 U.S.C., states:

"Except as provided in subsection (a)(3)(B) of this section, the debtor shall be discharged from a debt of a kind specified in paragraph (2), (4) or (6) of subsection (a) of this section, unless, on request of the creditor to whom such debt is owed, and after notice and a hearing, the court determines such debt to be excepted from discharge under paragraph (2), (4) or (6), as the case may be, of subsection (a) of this section."
against my will.

I try to be prepared. I have been on birth control for years. I always use condoms. I should be safe. I should be ok. But things happen. I had sex with a guy I met in a club this past weekend. The next morning my friend joked that it would be hilarious if I got pregnant with the guy’s kid. I was horrified. I know I’m not pregnant, that the guy and I used two forms of contraception, that we were safe. I wasn’t afraid that I might be pregnant. I was horrified that my friend would joke about something like that. I was afraid that if I were ever pregnant, I would not know what to do. I was afraid that I did not


Q:

What is the word for when someone gives you something for free instead of charging you for it?

What is the word for when someone gives you something for free instead of you paying for it?
For example: Some shopkeeper is about to close his shop, and you catch him just in the nick of time, you get something(anything), nonetheless he's so hurried that he lets you take it for free.
I know it's kind of a bizarre example and also a rarity, but it's the only thing I could come up with.
Much obliged.

The shopkeeper gave it to you gratis.
Derived from the Latin "as a kindness".

From en.wiktionary, freebie means “(informal) Something which is free; a giveaway or handout”.  Thus, the item given you is a freebie; it was given“They wouldn’t give any direction to us, and they didn’t provide a timeline,” while Mike Bennett, an official from Manatee County, said of the state’s response, “It’s typical. It’s going to hit the fan.”

In response to the comments from county officials, Florida’s Republican Secretary of State Ken Detzner, the state’s election head, told The Times he couldn’t make any decisions without input from the state legislature.

“We need to get some direction from [the legislature] as far as implementation and definitions—all the kind of things that the supervisors were asking,” Detzner said. “It would be inappropriate for us to charge off without direction from them.”

The legislature’s March 5 return date is the same day as the Tampa mayoral election — an election many returning citizens had hoped to be
