    Photoelectroanalytical chemistry: possible interferences in serum and the selective detection of tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) in the presence of interferents.
Photoelectroanalytical chemistry, the application of photoelectrochemistry to analysis, as reported here, is based on the amperometric detection of tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(III) after its production from the corresponding Ru(II) complex in an excited state and quenching by electron transfer. The Ru(II) complex is detectable in concentrations less than 10(-10) mol/L injected into a flow stream in 100 microL. The selectivity of the detection is based upon several competitive reactions and their rates. The complex can be detected accurately in the presence of at least 10(4) molar excess of the potent interferents uric acid and oxalic acid. We anticipate that this complex will be used in assays that involve the use of labels.

IN THIS ENTERTAINING AND PERSUASIVE LECTURE based on her new book, psychologist Susan Pinker shows how face-to-face contact is crucial for learning, happiness, resilience, and longevity. From birth to death, human beings are hardwired to connect to other human beings. Face-to-face contact matters: tight bonds of friendship and love heal us, help children learn, extend our lives, and make us happy. Looser in-person bonds matter, too, combining with our close relationships to form a personal “village” around us. Not just any social networks will do: we need the real, in-the-flesh encounters that tie human families, groups of friends, and communities together. Marrying the findingsNye shows that evolution is much more than a rebuttal to creationism; it is an essential way to understand how nature works—and to change the world. Don’t miss this enlightening “In Conversation” with Bill Nye, hosted by Michael Shermer.

It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912–1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades—all before his suicide at age 41. In November a major motion picture starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing will be released, based on the classic biography by Dr. Andrew Hodges, who teaches mathematics at Wadham College, University of Oxford (he is also an active contributor to the mathematics of fundamental physics).

Hodges tells how Turing’s revolutionary idea of 1936—the

In today's technologically enhanced world your business is no longer a step ahead of the game if it has a website. Instead, your business is expected to have a website just to be in the game. Just as importantly, your web site is expected to be easy to find with a related keyword or two, vs. a customer having to remember your name. But how do you do this if your business name is not a household name like Bestbuy, Ebay, Target, Amazon, etc.? Will your market keep searching for your business alone to answer their needs? The fact is, if your answers aren't readily at the fingertips of the questioning market, then you risk loosing customers to someone more available. The world wide web equalseach search. In other words, just because you know your web site is relevant, doesn't mean Google will. Google uses tools they call "spiders" to crawl the web and return their findings.

Residents Action Movement organiser Grant Morgan complained to a Regional Land Transport Committee hearings panel yesterday that the British-owned bus operator had become "a parasite on public transport in Auckland".

Presenting a petition signed by more than 4000 people calling for the provision of free buses throughout the region, Mr Morgan said the time had come to declare war on congestion caused by "car chaos".

He said Manukau Mayor Sir Barry Curtis had nominated three of his city's suburbs for trials of free bus services,[Color-Doppler in the study of male sexual impotence].
The authors report their experience with color-Doppler US in the study of 54 male patients with sexual impotence. The examination includes two distinct phases; in between, the erection-inducing drugs is injected directly in the cavernous bodies. During the basal phase, B-mode information relative to both morphology and structure of cavernous bodies is collected. After injecting the drug, systolic and end-diastolic velocities are evaluated as flowmetric indices, together with the resistive index; these variables are derived from cavernous arteries, at scheduled time--i.e., 5, 10 and 20 minutes after the injection. Moreover, the examined patients were divided into 4 groups according to their clinical response to the pharmacologic test. Color-Doppler US proved to be quite sensitive in the identification of the patients with

motion increases accordingly.
These optical sensors, however, tend to be some of the more expensive components comprising the scanning device. Accordingly, the use of multiple optical sensors substantially increases the cost of the scanning device. A minimum of two optical sensors, however, is required to be used in the scanning device in order to accurately determine rotational motion of the scanning device.
Therefore, a need exists for a hand-held scanning device that is able to accurately determine its position relative to an object, even as the scanning device rotates, without a substantially increasing of the cost of the scanning device.
A position sensing device having a single, two-dimensional photodetector device (sometimes referred to herein as a photosensing element) is disclosed herein. The positioning sensing device may comprise a single photodetector device,

Before QUINN and CAMPBELL, JJ., and BOYD, S.J.

Appellant Kim W. Gatewood appeals from a judgment convicting him of false identification as a peace officer.  The reporter’s record is due in this cause, and an extension of the applicable deadline has been sought.  To justify the extension, the court reporter represents that appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay for the record.  Nothing of record illustrates whether appellant is indigent.

Accordingly, we now abate this appeal and remand the cause to the County Court at Law No. 2

abstract: 'We calculate the mean and almost-sure leading order behaviour of the high frequency asymptotics of the eigenvalue counting function associated with the natural Dirichlet form on $\alpha$-stable trees, which lead in turn to short-time heat kernel asymptotics for these random structures. In particular, the conclusions we obtain demonstrate that the spectral dimension of an $\alpha$-stable tree is almost-surely equal to $2\alpha/(2\alpha-1)$, matching that of certain related discrete models. We also show that the exponent for the second term in the asymptotic expansion of the eigenvalue counting function is no greater than $1/(2\alpha-1)$. To prove our results, we adapt a self-similar fractal argument previously applied to the continuum random tree, replacing the decomposition of the continuum tree at the branch point of three suitably chosen vertices with a


\mathcal{E}^{(k)}(f,f)$. Hence to prove that $(\mathcal{E}^{(k)},\mathcal{F}^{(k)})$ is a Dirichlet form on $L^2(\mathcal{T},\mu)$ it remains to demonstrate that $(\mathcal{F}^{(k)},\|\cdot\|_{\mathcal{E}^{(k)},\mu})$ is a Hilbert space, where $\|\cdot\|_{\mathcal{E}^{(k)},\mu}$ is the defined as at (\[enorm\]). Given that the number of terms in the above sum is finite, this is elementary, and so $(\mathcal{E}^{(k)},\mathcal{F}^{(k)})$ is indeed a Dirichlet form on $L^2(\mathcal{T},\mu)$. Moreover, by a simple adaptation of the proof of [@KigLap], Proposition 6.2(3), it can also be shown that the identity map from $(\mathcal{F}^{(k)},\|\cdot\|_{\mathcal{E}^{(k)},\mu})$ to $L^2(\mathcal{T},\mu)$ is compact, and so the eigenvalue counting function for $(\mathcal{E}^{(k)},\mathcal{F}^{(k)},\mu)$, $N^{(k)}$ say, is finite everywhere on the real line.

In order to demonstrate that $(\mathcal{E}^{(k)},\mathcal{F}^{(k)})$ is an extension of $(\mathcal{E},\mathcal{F})$, we first observe that, by following an identical line of reasoning to that applied in the proof of Lemmais zero whenever $\lambda$ is strictly less than ${1}/{{\rm{diam}}_{d_\mathcal{T}}(\mathcal{S}_k)\mu(\mathcal{S}_k)}$. Thus we can conclude that, for each $k\in\mathbb{N}$, $$\tilde{N}(\lambda)\leq\sum_{i=1}^k \tilde{N}_i(\lambda\Delta_i^{1/\gamma}),\hspace{20pt}\forall\lambda< \frac{1}{{\rm{diam}}_{d_\mathcal{T}}(\mathcal{T})(1-\Delta_1-\dots-\Delta_k)}.$$ Since ${\rm{diam}}_{d_\mathcal{T}}(\mathcal{T})<\infty$ and $\Delta_1+\dots+\Delta_k\rightarrow1$ as $k\rightarrow\infty$, $\mathbf{P}$-a.s., the upper bound of the lemma follows.

It still remains to show the $\mathbf{P}$-a.s. finiteness of $\sum_{i\in\mathbb{N}} \tilde{N}_i(\lambda\Delta_i^{1/\gamma})$. To show this is the case, we again apply Lemma \[firste\] to obtain that the $i$th term is zero whenever $$\lambda<{\Delta_i^{-{1/\gamma}}}\left({{\rm{diam}}_{d_{\mathcal{T}_i}}(\mathcal{T}_i)\mu_i(\mathcal{T}_i)}\right)^{-1}
={}\left({\Delta_i}{\rm{diam}}_{d_{\mathcal{T}}}(\mathcal{T}_i)\right)^{-1}.$$ The result is readily obtained from this on noting that $(\Delta_i{\rm{diam}}_{d_{\mathcal{T}}}(\mathcal{T}_i))^{-1}$ is bounded below by $(\Delta_i{\rm{diam}}_{d_{\mathcal{T}}}(\mathcal{T}))^{-1}\rightarrow\infty$ as $i\rightarrow\infty$ and so only a finite number of terms (each of which is finite) in the sum are non-zero, $\mathbf{P}$-a.s.

Given the eigenvalue counting function comparison result of Proposition \[comparison\], which follows from (\[bracket\]), Lemma \[lower\] and Lemma \[upperbound\], we now turn to our renewal theorem argument

I liked this one on a late 90s DTV bad actioner level. It has enough going on to keep me interested, and, while it's not outstanding, it gets me to to the church on time. It's a weird combination of styles, where we have the over-the-top (Stallone style) PM Entertainment-esque shoot out, with massive amounts of ammunition unloaded and explosions aplenty; then it transitions into Die Hard on a sub, as our SEALs look

This is on Watch Instantly, so it's not much of an investment here in the States. I think in that capacity, or as a $2 thrift store pick up, this isn't bad. Decent Hauer, not too long of a running time, and some pretty good action. Not the best, but we've seen a lot worst.

When I decided to reboot the DTVC Tumblr page over the summer, one of the first things I noticed on this go around was that my Jeffrey Combs pics were getting a lot of attention. A big part of that was the reblogs I was getting from fuckyeahjeffreycombs, which was really cool and turned more people onto the main site. It also made me realize, weTrap. I had to get it on Amazon VOD, because, as I found out later from his blog My Life as a Low Budget Moviemaker (link is to his posts on Trap), the distributor he thought he had going in backed out. It's a very interesting backstory, and worth checking out if you get a chance.

Trap is about two men, hired by a mysterious employer to keep an eye on a girl that's been kidnapped and held for ransom. It's an already tense situation that's only made more so by the decision of one them to go on a fast, which is making him very crabby. As days go by, and no ransom money is forthcoming, it's looking increasingly like they may have to off the girl, which


the mysterious, perhaps sinister silent type, and then the concerned, love-struck, caring criminal. Alonzo F. Jones plays Perada's partner in crime, and while his character is kind of inconsistent too, it makes more sense with who he's supposed to be. And like Perada, he's good at playing both ends of the spectrum, and the transitions are believable. Finally, in the Monsters review I also praised Annemarie Pazmino for her small part as the make-up artist, and while she only has a small part in this too, it was good again. She just has a real natural quality to her acting, that I even noticed in a joke behind the scenes video of Trap that Jason posted on his blog.

Bondage and kidnapping fantasies have been in the news recently,with the story of a Portland, OR couple that were arrested and charged with disturbing the peace after their Valentine's Day role playing crossed paths with some concerned citizens that were afraid the girl, whom they saw bound and gagged and naked in the back seat of the couple's car, might be the victim of a potential serial killer or something. It brings up an intriguing duality in this kind of thing that I think Jason plays with really well in Trap. On the one hand, there is a kinky element, a sexiness to bondage that the film isn't afraid to cultivate; but on the other, there's also a disturbing violence against women aspect that's obviously a part of a scenario like the one in Trap, when things


had the feel of a low budget flick that can't afford a costume designer, and just has people show up in whatever and shoots the scene anyway. In the credits I saw that they did have a costume designer though, a woman named Maxi Priest (not the singer), so who knows. It was one of the few areas where the movie betrayed itself though.

SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!I wanted to discuss an aspect of the ending, but wanted to make sure that people who wanted to see the film would have sufficient warning to avoid this paragraph so it wouldn't ruin things for them. Consider yourself warned, read on at your own risk. My issue was that Ashton's character is killed by Jones near the end. Part of itis the late Jeff Conaway. In '01 he was probably having a tough time, probably fighting his demons and his addictions, which were all well documented. That's probably why he wasn't in the movie more-- and maybe why so much of the first hour was so boring, because Conaway was absent throughout that-- which is too bad, because he was pretty sweet as the hard boiled detective trying to crack this old case that's haunted him for years. I love Conaway, and I love seeing him in anything, so he was a welcomed addition here. Rest in peace Jeff Conaway, you were one of the good ones.

This is currently available on Watch Instantly. I don't know, it depends on how much 90s nostalgia you have a hankering for,


they made heavy use of stunt doubles, but either way, he was an equally great baddie, a combination of swordsman and Gestapo head. Then we had Gackt, a Japanese pop singer, who played Yoshi. He looked kind of like Michael Jackson in his Dangerous days, only with a bigger nose. Again, like McKidd, I don't know what kind of martial artist he is in real life, but whether it was a stunt double or him, he was very believable as the hero. Finally, his uncle is played by Shun Sugata. He's been in things like Ichi the Killer and Tokyo Gore Police, so I'm sure for some of our readers he'd be more recognizable than he would for others.

Finally, I can't complete this review without discussing Josh Hartnett.$20 million-plus film production made from it. Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is, why on Earth would he have chosen this project? Was he so appalled by Swing Vote that he needed something, anything, with some blood in it? I'm telling you, he would've knocked that family drama I described above out of the park. I'm glad after this he went to the ensemble indie flick The Company Men. Great Mass accent. Hopefully he'll do more of those and less of these.

Here's a message to all horror directors out there: stay away from the Psycho shower scene. I don't care if you're just paying homage to it by showing us a drain like we got here, leave it alone. In hockey there's an unwritten rule: people don't


believe them, they pad the film out with shots of DC landmarks. Though I've never been to Michigan, I have had two occasions to visit the nation's capital. Few cool things I remembered: great Ethiopian food, a great Chinatown, and a great city to do the tourist thing in. Also, they have a nice subway system. Another thing I remembered though: some of the worst traffic ever. We were coming back from Tyson's Corner, and being Mainers, we didn't think about the time-- actually, being from near Boston, we still didn't think of the time, because Boston never gets as bad for rush hour as what we saw there-- and found ourselves smack in the evening commute.

All right, I've padded this review out enough, time to wrap itin Twilight, fine; but you put him in with these actors, and give him a character with too much nuance, it's a little beyond his pay grade, and as a result, the end product suffers. Do I want a teen movie heel mean mugging it and acting tough with Ben Mendelsohn? Not after I've seen Mendelsohn in Animal Kingdom I don't. Still, with that aside, this was good enough to get a big theatrical release, it was just one those ones that slipped through the cracks and ended up DTV.

This isn't the first time we've seen Mr. Cage here at the DTVC. Back when I did box office bomb posts, we looked at Bangkok Dangerous. Then, when we did our series of bad comic book movies, I reviewed


her from the TBS sitcom My Boys, but I'll always remember her from the MTV late night soap Undressed. Remember that show? Why don't they make TV like that anymore?

Anyway, I better wrap it up, because this post has been long enough. If you're looking for the demise of Cage and Kidman into the depths of DVD-dom, you won't find it here. On the other hand, you won't find anything all that remarkable beyond some solid performances from Cage, Kidman, and Mendelsohn. This is pretty paint-by-numbers, and while it's not worse than a lot of the stuff that in theaters now, it's also not much better either. If you're curious though, in the States it's currently available on Watch Instantly.

When I said we were goingone-liners but sound great with his Tennessee accent. This is a little long at 102 minutes, but I think the fun factor allows it to transcend that. Easily one of my favorite Miles flicks.

Oh Miles, let me count the ways. To quote Ben Stiller impersonating Bruce Springsteen while interviewing Diddy (then Puff Daddy) for MTV, "why are you so awesome?" He has this one scene early on where one of Svenson's cronies punches him in the face, and he's like "you son of a bitch" and starts doing all kinds of karate on the guy. We cut to some other people talking, then back to him running the halls of this building, taking out dudes coming out of every doorway. And it just gets better, with him then


kinda creepy. Anyway, Toulon thinks one of the girls on the crew looks like his long lost love, and he wants her and him to be reincarnated into the bodies of large, human-sized dolls. She's not so amenable to the idea, and hopefully, for her sake, her beau will rescue her in time.

I enjoyed this one more than the first. It had a better puppet quotient, their time was spread out throughout the film, and we had fewer gaps between puppet kills. I liked that they added tangential characters that could be killed earlier on, so we didn't have that huge chunk of nothing we had in the first one. The addition of Toulon wrapped in bandages created an extra layer of tension and suspense without breaking thethey do is make the kid a total brat, and he picks up the new flamethrower puppet (Torch?) and starts abusing him. So the puppet sets him on fire-- though it's never shown. Technically, we don't know for sure if the kid is killed, because there's the cut away, but I'm pretty sure it happened. If it hadn't been being burned alive, I think it would've worked better-- I mean, violence towards kids in real life is abhorrent, but in a movie, with the kind of brat this was, it was a borderline applause scene.

Does that stuff not look like mint chocolate chip ice cream to you? It does to me. I don't remember the last time I've had some, I'm kind of getting a craving for it.


have to change the most automatic habit in your life — your breathing. — Ana T. Forrest, Fierce Medicine

Breathing techniques are the heart of many mindfulness meditation practices.

Interestingly enough, many tai chi instructors (called sifus) discourage focusing on the breath lest it distract you from focusing on the fundamentals of the movements.

I tend to agree. If we haven’t mastered proper breathing techniques, how can we be expected to learn a complex set of movements at the same time? Start by mastering breathing so you don’t have to think about it when you try other techniques.

These aren’t just any breathing techniques: They involve the use of tools and/or specific physical execution — elements that, in my opinion, make these techniques more active.

Disclaimer: If you have any medical conditions, pleaseit, try to get a feel for the pacing of the writer’s thoughts. Because these are thoughts (and related actions), they can speed up, slow down, remain steady, build toward a crescendo, and everything in between. It can be fun to experience the roller coaster of someone else’s thought patterns, especially if you can capture the flow.

Here is a passage from Dharma Bums to get you started:

The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago


in my notebook.

Must you write by hand? Cameron says yes:

When we write by hand, we connect to ourselves. We may get speed and distance when we type, but we get a truer connection — to ourselves and our deepest thoughts — when we actually put pen to page.

However, there is an entire community of online stream-of-consciousness journalers who use the tool 750 Words. The tool’s creator, Buster Benson, sums up the experience in his post “Better Than Meditation”:

The act of typing serves as a hand rail on our thoughts, and occupies a certain part of the brain that generally gets restless and looks for something to do, because it’s already doing something: typing. Disabling that restless squirrel in your brain is the reason why activities like walking, showering,the mind of the child you were when you first read this book or viewed this artwork? What is the artwork telling you now?

If it’s human anatomy, are you coloring in an area of the body where you are currently experiencing discomfort? Direct your breath into that area of your body. Feel for the bodily sensations of each muscle as you color it in. Have you identified the exact muscle, ligament, or tendon that is causing you problems? Continue to breathe.

When you are done, take a few minutes to look at your picture. Take it all in as a whole. What do the colors you chose tell you about your feelings toward the artwork? Are they strong, fiery colors? Neutral, muted colors? Cooling colors? Does your color scheme


represent how you see things currently, or do they represent your ideal version of how things should be? Maybe there’s not much more to it than the fact that you are proud of yourself for coloring a pretty picture. There are no right or wrong answers.

Osho Dynamic Meditation

When you heard the phrase “active meditation,” maybe you thought most of the exercises would have more movement. If so, this is the exercise for you.

The Osho version of dynamic meditation originated in meditation camps in the 1970s. However, there is a tradition of similar methods that go back centuries—for example, the Whirling Dervish of the Middle East.

The Osho practice is done as a five-stage active meditation to music. The major focus is presence — dropping all planning and future thinkingIntroduction

MTHFR is a key enzyme in folate metabolism, which converts 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate that is required for the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine.[@b8-jpr-11-145]--[@b11-jpr-11-145] Therefore, reduction in the MTHFR enzymatic

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

Allele and genotype frequencies and the Hardy--Weinberg equilibrium were calculated by chi-squared test using the SNPStats online software available from <http://bioinfo.icon-cologia.net/SNPstats>.[@b19-jpr-11-145] The association of all polymorphisms with migraine was studied using recessive and dominant models. The strength of association between selected polymorphisms and susceptibility to migraine was evaluated by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A *P*-value of \<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results
=======

The results obtained from genotyping using TP-ARMS-PCR and PCR-RFLP was instroke was confirmed in two meta-analysis studies.[@b23-jpr-11-145],[@b24-jpr-11-145] In addition, Wu et al[@b22-jpr-11-145] reported that rs4846049 polymorphism increases coronary heart disease risk through modifying miR-149 binding. Considering the results obtained from Wu et al and the present study, we may hypothesize that the regulatory role of miR-149 on MTHFR expression via rs4846049 polymorphism may explain the vascular dysfunction in migraine. However, further functional studies are required to confirm this hypothesis.

There are several association studies concerning the role of C677T MTHFR polymorphism in migraine that showed conflicting results. Most of the studies suggested the association of 677 T allele with increased risk of migraine, although some suggest no association.[@b8-jpr-11-145],[@b25-jpr-11-145]--[@b28-jpr-11-145] In order to prove the exact role of C677T polymorphism in migraine, several meta-analyses were performed. Schurks[@b8-jpr-11-145] confirmed the positive association

Nonetheless, these numbers send shivers down my spine. In essence, the poll suggests that a growing number of French citizens sympathize with ISIS, a group known, among other things, for using terrifying acts of cruelty and other forms of barbarism to expand their Islamic caliphate.

“No just God would stand for what [ISIS] did yesterday and what they do every day,” President Obama recently said, referring to the brutal slaying of an American photojournalist last week.

SOFIA - Bulgaria's nationalist scene has long been a byword for racism, anti-Semitism and homophobia. But now with their entry into government, they appear to have softened their tone -- and are even pro-EU.

In elections in March, the United Patriots (UP) alliance -- made up of three parties, the VMRO, NFSB and Ataka -- emerged as the third-biggest force with 27 lawmakers in Bulgaria's 240-seat parliament.

Now, these nationalists have formed a coalition under Boyko Borisov with the centre-right GERB party that was due to take office on Thursday.

This could ruffle some feathers in Europe, particularly within the European People's Party (EPP), the biggest group in the European Parliament and which counts GERB among its members, said BBSS Gallup analyst Parvan Simeonov.

"Most probably this will sound alarm bells ringing,"Simeonov told AFP. In the first half of 2018, Bulgaria holds the rotating presidency of the European Union.

Holocaust a 'lie'

The most extreme party within the UP alliance is Ataka ("Attack"), created in 2005 by Volen Siderov, a firebrand who has called the Holocaust a "lie" and has been convicted multiple times of inciting racial hatred and hooliganism.

"Homosexuality is a disease... There is a fine line between homosexuality and paedophilia and it is easily crossed," Siderov said in 2006, the same year he made it into the second round of the presidential election.

He has railed against Bulgaria's leaning towards western Europe and away from Russia. In 2014, he burned the EU flag and in 2015 visited Russian-annexed Crimea.

The other party within the UP, the National Front for the Salvation

"That’ll all be determined over the next week or so," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office during a meeting with Slovakian Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini.

Trump has in recent days indicated he is likely to block McGahn from testifying after Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee voted to subpoena him to appear before the panel.

So you limit yourself to 66 books that some people 1500 years ago selected for you, based on their feeling of what might be usefull in their political agenda?

Talking about a limited view….

But indeed atheists have a limited view on what reality is as well. Most of them do not consider purple unicorns, little green gnomes living in mushrooms or small tea kettles flying around Uranus a valid explanation for any phenomenon in real life. They do exactly the same for invisible, immaterial all-powerfull deities creating the universe while meddling with our sex life. Neither should you – you probably do not consider Odin, Zeus or Brahma to be real, although there is at least as much evidence for any of these guys as there is for Jahweh.

that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the
sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry thatwrong, and you don’t wish to be on the wrong side. //

// You openly admit you only behave because you suspect it is the wish of your unseen, unlikely god! //

And yet 57 MILLION sons/daughters, with a million men more each year ARE killed by people because they feel they can get away with it, since in their mind there is no God. That’s what is despicable.

     Ajala also contends that the district court should have instructed the jury about
the burden-shifting framework we employ in assessing constitutional claims. See Smith
v. Wilson, 705 F.3d 674, 681 (7th Cir. 2013). As Ajala sees it, the court should have told
the jury that Swiekatowski had the burden of showing that his non-discriminatory
reasons for writing the conduct report against Ajala were “sound” and that his actions
were “narrowly tailored” to achieve a compelling governmental interest. But before
Swiekatowski would have faced any burden to prove the propriety of his actions, Ajala
first had to show at a minimum that those actions were “motivated in part” by a
discriminatory purpose. See id.; Bond v. Atkinson, 728 F.3d 690, 692–93 (7th Cir. 2013).

We are not all rich, but each individual has a share in the New Jersey stock. Christie is our CEO, and he came to explain to us what the vision was and is, to make sense of what seems to be a mess, and to convince us at some level that he is doing the right thing the hard way!

Toward the beginning of his speech Christie contextualized his defense by telling a metaphor. Christie likened his situation to going to a dinner with all the past governors,they are all sitting around eating, having amerry time. Suddenly, they all get up and leave the table, sticking him with the bill! By this he implied that the situation our beloved corporation has found itself in is a result of past governors spending and spending without a conscious. At one point Christie mentioned that he had a conversation with former Governor of New Jersey Tom Kean about the amount of money he spent during his time in office. Christie politely joked, that “Tom Kean answered in typical Tom Kean fashion”, saying that Kean replied,“ the people wanted me to spend the money.”

The crowd laughed, and Christie proceeded on to his speech. He gave an explanation of why he made the cuts that he made. At this point he painted himself in light of former

Throughout its tenure, the original AMWG repeatedly noted that Russian propaganda rarely had a substantial impact inside the United States because credible media outlets usually weeded out fake stories and false headlines, preempting them from reaching large audiences. Today, the flow of information no longer appears to permit the United States such refuge. As part of its work, then, this new AMWG should coordinate with technology companies to find solutions that effectively disrupt Russian activities.

But tech companies need not wait for the creation of such a group. Leading social media platforms and major news outlets should start by providing a forthright account to the American people about what has happened and what they see happening today.state where they cannot be suggested to other users, recommended, monetized, or given comments or likes.” And Facebook itself has taken steps to tamp down the amount of disinformation on its platform, first by allowing users to flag purportedly fake news and second by providing users with additional information about publishers and related articles with a new “I” button on news feed links.

Paradoxically, these outlets should no longer be paralyzed by concerns of censorship. Free speech has always relied on credible regulators to inform the public and prevent the marketplace of ideas from collapsing into a cacophony of chaos, misinformation, and manipulation. Today, those regulators are no longer experienced editors or producers but must instead be the platform managers and users of online social media. In this way,

The second control group consisted of children with other specific diagnoses (*n* = 23), such as viral meningitis (*n* = 4), epilepsy (*n* = 4), idiopathic intracranial hypertension (*n* = 3), post infectious encephalitis (*n* = 2), infantile spasm (*n* = 2), migraine (*n* = 2), head trauma (*n* = 1), stroke (*n* = 1), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (*n* = 1), neurofibromatosis type 1 (*n* = 1), and Guillain-Barre syndrome (*n* = 1).

Some patients in the group of other specific diagnoses presented with pleocytosis in CSF (viral meningitis *n* = 4 and post infectious encephalitis *n* = 2). They all had specific clinical symptoms associated to either viral meningitis


(high fever, headache, neck stiffness, photophobia) or post infectious encephalitis (viral infection followed by confusion and seizures), but only one patient with viral meningitis had a specific causative agent (enterovirus) confirmed by PCR. All patients with other specific diagnoses were negative for intrathecally produced anti-*Borrelia* antibodies, including the six patients with pleocytosis. Patients classified as non-LNB cases (*n* = 102) and other specific diagnoses (*n* = 23) are being referred to in this study as controls (*n* = 125).

The CXCL13 concentrations in CSF were analyzed for correlation with the duration of symptoms in LNB patients on admission (Fig. [4](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"}). A very weak positive correlation was found between higher CXCL13 levels and longer duration of symptoms (Rho = 0.25, *p* \< 0.05). No differences in CXCL13 concentrations were found in relation to age, gender, observed tick bites, EM, or other clinical features. In addition,


Snowmobile injuries in Antarctica 1989-1996.
A retrospective analysis of accidents involving snowmobiles experienced by members of the British Antarctic Survey between 1989 and 1996 revealed 37 injured individuals (or 1.9% of new consultations). The mean incidence was 26.5/1000 population/year, with the incidence rising over the study period. The commonest injury (35%) was a lower limb sprain. Head injuries accounted for 22% of cases. Both fractures and radiological investigations were recorded significantly (chi 2 p < 0.025) more frequently than for injuries of all causes, although no significant difference was found in Injury Severity Scores (1) between the two groups.

Other systems involve the installation of vehicle detection sensors (infra red, proximity, or light sensors, etc) for each parking lot, thus providing parking lot availability information. However, the existing car park systems have many drawbacks, including inability to determine when specific lots become available, high infrastructural costs, high per car park lot equipment, high installation and maintenance costs. Moreover, existing methods are based on the principle of counting of vehicles or the occupation of lots.about more than a few critical editorials or Jones-centered punchlines by comedians.

The primary function of microRNA (miRNA, a class of small regulatory RNA) is to regulate gene expression. Studies of miRNA in mammals suggest that many liver-associated miRNAs are expressed, with a wide range of functions. To characterize miRNA expressed in the avian liver, we created two small RNA libraries from embryonic chick livers at embryonic day (E)15 and E20, a time at which the embryo begins to grow rapidly and so its energy demands increase. It is of interest to examine miRNAs expressed at these developmental stages because miRNAs involved in regulating metabolic pathways and cell proliferation are likely to be identified. The small RNA libraries were sequenced with 454 Life Sciences deep sequencing. Of the 49,937 sequences obtained,


The effectiveness of manual versus algometer pressure release techniques for treating active myofascial trigger points of the upper trapezius.
Manual pressure release (MPR) is a popular treatment of trigger points. Yet, treatment response may be influenced by inconsistent application of pressure. Further, it may contribute to increased risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders of the wrist and hand in therapists. Therefore, this study aimed at introducing a novel method to apply pressure using the algometer and to compare its effectiveness to MPR. Forty-five volunteers with active trigger points of the upper trapezius received algometer pressure release (APR), MPR, or sham ultrasound (US). Pain pressure threshold (PPT) and contralateral active and passive neck side-bending ranges were assessed at baseline and immediately after a single session. Results showed no significant differences in<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

presence of moisture on the surface of the windshield affects the reflection of light at the air-glass interface, and this change in reflected light is electronically processed and utilized as the signal for activating the windshield wipers. The sensor housing in an optical moisture sensor should securely engage the windshield and be optically coupled to the windshield so as to effectively eliminate the interface between the light emitters-detectors and glass surface from an optical standpoint. U.S. Pat. No. 5,262,640 to Purvis et al. describes an intermediate adhesive interlayer for affixing the sensor housing to the windshield. The sensor housing is affixed directly to the surface of the windshield or other vehicle window by means of an intermediate interlayer disposed between the sensor housing and the interior surface ofa fewer number of detectors. However, the light paths are widely splayed, which requires a larger detector or additional optical elements for concentrating the light.
Another area of concern in the manufacture of optical moisture sensors is the mounting of the sensor to the windshield. Vehicle manufactures desire a sensor which is already installed at the windshield manufacturer, or a sensor that is very easy to install on the vehicle production line. The windshield manufacturer ships windshield nested together such that there is very little spacing for mounting a sensor.
Schofield (U.S. Pat. No. 4,930,742) discloses the use of a bracket, such as a rear view mirror bracket, for mounting the optical moisture sensor. This approach necessitates additional support structure or the addition of silicone pieces to optically couple the

Lynn and his colleagues’ research further suggests that sleep problems may be one reason why some people are more vulnerable to dissociation and dissociative disorders. In one study, Lynn’s colleagues kept 25 healthy volunteers from sleeping for one night and found they had many more dissociative experiences. This could help to explain a connection between trauma and dissociation, as traumatic memories can disturb sleep. Poor sleep can also impair memory and increase suggestibility, potentially increasing the impact of leading interventions. “We’re not arguing that this is a complete or final explanation,” Lynn says. “We just hope the word will get out and other investigators will start looking at this possibility.”

“We want to educate themany therapists who may be strongly influenced by the traditional model of dissociation not only to think otherwise but to practice otherwise,” Lynn says. Therapists should “be scrupulous in avoiding suggestive approaches—not only with people who may be particularly vulnerable to those procedures, but with people in general who seek help.” Also, he cautions, “if your therapist is trying to convince you that you have multiple personalities, you should find a new therapist.”


focus from the ecological and mathematical viewpoints is evidently played by the steady states (or equilibria) of both of the models. So we briefly recall the well-known structure of *homogeneous* steady states starting from the cross-diffusion SKT model .

The homogeneous solutions are the total extinction $(0,0)$ (always unstable), two non-coexistence states $(\bar u,0)=(r_1/a_1,0)$ and $(0,\bar v)=(0,r_2/a_2)$, and one coexistence state (when it exists) $$(u_*,v_*)=\left( \dfrac{r_1a_2-r_2b_1}{a_1a_2-b_1b_2},\dfrac{r_2a_1-r_1b_2}{a_1a_2-b_1b_2}\right).$$ While the non-coexistence equilibria exist for all the parameter values, the coexistence is admissible (positive coordinates) only in two cases.

-   *weak competition* or *strong intra-specific competition*, namely $a_1a_2-b_1b_2>0$.\
    Under the additional condition on the growth rates $b_1/a_2<r_1/r_2<a_1/b_2$, without diffusion the coexistence homogeneous steady state is stable, while the non-coexistence ones are unstable. With standard diffusion in a convex domainpositive and non-constant steady states exist, they must be unstable [@kishimoto1985spatial], and numerical simulations suggest that any non-negative solution generically converges to either $(\bar u,0)$ or $(0,\bar v)$, that is, the competitive exclusion principle occurs between the two species. However, adding the cross-diffusion term, it is numerically shown that even if the domain is convex, there exists stable non-homogeneous solutions exhibiting spatially segregating coexistence when $d_{12}$ is suitable large [@izuhara2008reaction].\
    Analogously to the previous regime, if $r_1/r_2<a_1/b_2$ or $r_1/r_2>b_1/a_2$, the coexistence homogeneous steady state is not positive and the non-coexistence ones are stable for the reaction part (in absence of diffusion).

We remark that the stationary problem of the classical Lotka–Volterra competition model with linear diffusion endowed with Dirichlet boundary conditions has been extensively studied (see


solutions. Numerical continuation techniques are going to allow us to obtain a more global picture far from the homogeneous branch. The bifurcation diagram of the triangular cross-diffusion system on a 1D domain was presented in [@iida2006diffusion]; the existence of these non-homogeneous steady states significantly far from being perturbations of the homogeneous solutions, was proved in [@breden2018existence] applying a computer assisted method. A mathematically rigorous construction of the bifurcation structure of the three-component system was obtained in [@breden2013global], while the convergence of the bifurcation structure on a 1D domain was also investigated in [@izuhara2008reaction] with respect to two different bifurcation parameters appearing in the diffusion part, both in the weak and strong competition case. Only recently, the influence of the additional cross-diffusion term in the system has been investigated, combining a detailed linearizeddifferent (stable) patterns. It is interesting to observe the distribution of the two different states of species $u$ on the domain. It turns out that the “excited individuals” and the competing species $v$ are more abundant in the same region of the domain. Furthermore, the steady state solutions satisfy the algebraic equation derived by a quasi-steady state ansatz from the three-species system $$u_2\left(1-\dfrac v M\right)-u_1 \dfrac v M=0.$$

In addition, we have found other stable non-homogeneous solutions of the cross-diffusion system, and the corresponding steady states are stripe patterns.

Conclusion and Outlook {#sec:concl}
======================

In this paper we have investigated the bifurcation structure of the triangular SKT model and of the corresponding fast-reaction system in 1D and 2D domains in the weak competition case via numerical continuation. Despite the fact that part


of the bifurcation structure of this system in 1D has been already computed [@breden2018existence; @breden2013global; @iida2006diffusion; @izuhara2008reaction], the key points of our work can be here summarized.

-   We have adapted the continuation software `pde2path` to treat cross-diffusion terms. Providing the code in the appendix, this work can be used as a guide to implement such class of problems.

-   We have reproduced the already computed bifurcation diagrams for the triangular SKT model on a 1D domain with respect to $d$. Even though this is not per se a new result, we have quantitatively checked, how accurate the computation of bifurcation points is. It is worthwhile to note that we have also provided information about the stability of non-homogeneous steady states, which are in agreement withthe form $\nabla \cdot (u \nabla v)$ [@uecker2019pattern]. However, the previous approach is not directly applicable to the cross-diffusion system , since the cross-diffusion term is not written in divergence form. Then we need to rewrite it as $$\label{A:split}
{\Delta}((d_1+d_{12}v)u)=\nabla \cdot((\underbrace{d_1+d_{12}v}_{c(v)})\nabla u+ \underbrace{d_{12}u}_{\tilde c(u)} \nabla v)$$ The steady state problem reads $$0=G(u):=
-\begin{pmatrix} \nabla \cdot (c(v) \nabla u)+\nabla \cdot (\tilde c(u) \nabla v)\\ d_2 {\Delta}v\end{pmatrix}
-\begin{pmatrix} (r_1-a_1 u-b_1 v)u \\(r_2-b_2 u-a_2 v)v \end{pmatrix},$$ and on the FEM level it becomes $$\label{A:sm}
G(u)=
\begin{pmatrix} K_{21}(v)u+K_{12}(u)v\\ Kv\end{pmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix} F_1(u,v)\\ F_2(u,v),\end{pmatrix}$$ where $K$ is the standard one-component Neumann-Laplacian (stiffness matrix), $K_{21}(v)u$ and $K_{12}(u)v$ implement $\nabla\cdot(c(v) \nabla u)$ and $\nabla \cdot (\tilde c(u) \nabla v)$ respectively, while $F_1,\,F_2$ belong to the reaction part. In detail, $$\label{A:KK}
(K_{21}(v))_{ij}=\int_\Omega c(v) \nabla\phi_i \cdot \nabla \phi_j~\txtd x,\qquad (K_{12}(u))_{ij}=\int_\Omega \tilde c(u) \nabla\phi_i \cdot


\nabla \phi_j~\txtd x$$ depend on $v$ and on $u$. Hence, they have to be computed at each step. In the `OOPDE` setting, we can employ the routine `assema` to compute those matrices, but this needs $c(v)$ and $\tilde c(u)$ on each element center, which is obtained interpolating $u$ and $v$ from the nodes to the element centers, as it can be seen in Listings \[lst:sG\] and \[lst:oosetfemops\], which show the main files implementing the triangular cross-diffusion system in `pde2path`.

Genetic features of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The genetic features of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are currently being reassessed by molecular cytogenetic techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Conventional cytogenetic studies by chromosome banding are difficult in CLL mainly because of the low in vitro mitotic activity of the tumor cells, which leads to poor quantity and quality of metaphase spreads. Molecular genetic analyses are limited because candidate genes are known for only a few chromosomal aberrations that are observed in CLL. FISH was found to be a powerful tool for the genetic analysis of CLL as it overcomes both the low mitotic activity of the CLL cells and the lack of suitable candidate genes for analysis. Using FISH, the detection of chromosomal aberrations can bepre-ordered through the Oyster Recovery Partnership’s website. Orders placed by December 18 will ship in time for the holiday season: click here for complete details.

Tofu: I know tofu and vegetarian is cliché, but I’m actually digging this food. Packed with protein, calcium, and iron, keeping extra-firm tofu (there’s different varieties) makes for an easy meal. I season it and throw it in the oven with some vegetables, and I have a healthy, quick one-pan meal.

Potatoes: Despite its bad rap, potatoes are pretty healthy and very versatile. They’re perfect for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I like to roast them and enjoy them with yogurt or eggs for breakfast, or make a yummy, southwest stuffed potato for dinner.

Whole Wheat Pasta (and Ricotta Cheese): Okay, so I know this is technically two things, but seriously, whole wheat pasta and


and I prefer it as well. It is a very easy to wear fresh, mildly herbal concoction that is generally appreciated by most in my experience. 100 ml bottles can be had online for about $15 or so.

Re: easy use cologne

Don't get me wrong, it's not the best to spend more than 50-75 on colognes / parfums when u r 17. U can spend it on better things.

IMHO, you can get a lot of good to very good frags for under that price, just search online stores and look up the reviews, or even better, go to macys or other stores that have a gd collection and sniff thru the under $75 frags, check whatever u like online and I am sure you can find most of thosemake all the difference.

If you had infinite space what would you add?

Tracy: I would add more vintage books. I love the feel and smell of older books, and I love introducing people to them. So many people don’t realize this world exists; they assume that they have to have the knowledge or money to invest in a first edition. That isn’t the case—if you look carefully, you can hold a piece of history for relatively little investment.

Allison: A bar! What’s more literary than that?

What do you do better than any other bookstore?

Mike (Community Events): Oxford Exchange surprises better than any other bookstore I’ve been in. With so much happening in our space everyday, the bookstore isn’t always the main reason to stop by. But we’re the first thing


you see when you walk in the door — just walls and tables full of books. When people come inside, it’s wild to see their faces light up — it’s like they’re running into an old friend, like they’ve come home. We get to see that every single day, and that’s something.

Laura: The bookstore takes up just 450 square feet, and we manage to represent a really well-rounded selection. We have such a varied clientele, and the titles that we carry reflect that. You’ll find timeless classics inches away from our contemporary favourites, Whitman beside the latest poet to take over Instagram. We aim to carry titles that could be anyone’s next favourite book.

Who’s your favourite regular?

Laura: We have a fantastic woman who comes down from Minnesota regularlyeverything about it. The quiet peacefulness, the feel of the velum, the pictures in the books and the endless choices. There is something hopeful about it all, right? To know you’re only hours away from learning something new or feeling something you’ve never felt before.

Mike: I was a terrible reader as a little kid, but I was tremendous at having books bought for me. I went to Barnes and Noble with my grandparents every single weekend and they bought me everything. I mean, if we’d been shopping at Borders instead, Borders would still be a thing. Everything.

What’s been the biggest surprise about running a bookstore?

Allison: It works! It really has started some incredible conversations in our city.

Laura: The little things that make a book sell. It’s not always


so much for giving our space something new to be proud of this year.

What are Oxford Exchange’s booksellers reading?

Hemingway in Love: His Own Story by AE Hotchner (2015). “One of the books I’ve picked up without any prior knowledge. Hemingway has always seemed more of a figment to me, than a real person. This book piercingly describes some of his regrets, and humanizes him as someone with his own set of problems, instead of the larger-than-life, macho man most consider him.”

Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler (2015). “Danler’s work tight walks so many fine lines, it’s almost indescribable. You pick it up for the conversational tone, maybe even for that shattered wine glass on the cover. You remember it for the way that glass ends up cutting you—whata Location Charge comes into force, choosing to remain in one’s home will mean both paying a high annual charge whilst watching the value of one’s home decrease.

Is this something you could live with to make the world a fairer place?

PS Apologies for the poor quality of my graphic. If there is anyone who has even a smidgen of ability with graphic stuff who’d be happy to make this piece not look quite so amateurish I’d greatly appreciate it – for a charge if required.
