Young adult international adoptees' search for birth parents. This study examines international adoptees and factors associated with searching for birth parents. A total of 1,417 international adoptees in The Netherlands, aged 24 to 30 years, were divided into 4 groups: uninterested nonsearchers, interested nonsearchers, searchers, and reunited searchers. In total, 32% of adoptees had searched. Although the majority of searchers were well-adjusted, they had more problems--mainly internalizing problems--than uninterested nonsearchers. These problems, however, were not caused by the search itself. It is concluded that searching is the product of natural curiosity influenced by external factors such as the divorce of adoptive parents and the options for searching.component to the on-going success of their business operations.

We have differing definitions. I might concede phones as separate from "PCs", but the original phrase was "handheld computer", which most phones are. Yes, many are locked down at the bootloader level, but they're still general- purpose computing devices. With Termux or a chroot, you can even get GNU goodness on them. Even without that, Android/iOS are as much computers as Windows S devices; they can run programs compiled for that OS, and have normal full-function CPUs, GPUs, and network stacks.

This so-called unweighted approach is overly sensitive to individual follow-up times which usually vary significantly within a given trial, and can therefore lead to a biased estimate of exacerbation rate ratios ([@b53-copd-2-157]).

Rugby union ('rugby') presents an above-average risk of injury to participants. BokSmart is a South African nationwide intervention that aims to reduce rugby-related injuries in players. This is achieved by educating coaches and referees to improve injury behaviour of players. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess if the receipt of injury-prevention education was associated with player behaviour. Junior (n=2279) and senior (n=1642) players, who attended merit-based South African Rugby tournaments (2008-2012), completed an anonymous questionnaire. Logistic regressions investigated if player injury-prevention behaviours were associated with the receipt of education on the same topic. Additionally, players' preferred sources of education were explored through frequency and χ2 analyses. Of the 16 injury-prevention behaviours, 12 (75%)

Facile access to new C-glycosides and C-glycoside scaffolds incorporating functionalised aromatic moieties. The tandem ene/intramolecular Sakurai cyclisation (IMSC) reaction has been successfully applied to the synthesis of a range of C-glycosides, with key intermediates offering opportunities for functionalisation of the glycon moiety. To demonstrate the versatility of the approach to access the 2-deoxy-C-glycoside series, we synthesised diastereomerically pure C-glucoside and galactoside derivatives incorporating functionalised aromatic, heteroaromatic and bicyclic aromatic moieties, in addition to the C-homologue of (±)-β-2-deoxy-glucose 6-phosphate.Lent looking at each temptation, and then finish the series on Easter Sunday looking at “what did Jesus sacrifice?”.

upon Him for our salvation In the beginning, when the “whole body of mankind had fallen”, our merciful God had purposed in himself to make a way to reconcile “His creatures made after His image [...] through His only-begotten Jesus Christ”. Leo goes on to say that if we had not fallen from how God made us, we'd have been happy; but now we can be happier if we remain in what he has remade us to be through his Spirit. Jesus was “excluded [from] all taint of the sin which has passed upon all men”, that taint being “weakness and mortality, which were not sin, but the penalty of sin”. The “Redeemer of the World” suffered these things for our sake, “that they might be reckoned as the price ofScripture so we can expect them (see: Acts 12:22-23 and 1 Cor 11:28-32). We can infer consequential suffering from Jesus’ teaching when he speaks about a local tragedy of a tower collapsing and killing some people: Luke 13: 4-5 Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others living in Jerusalem? No […] Can we do anything about it? Christianity isn't about trying to philosophise about why we suffer, but rather it's to do with how we respond to suffering. We accept that it's a reality of our lives and world, and then go about trying to make it better. James makes the point in his epistle when explaining that “pure religion” is “to care for orphans

Christians has been faithfully passed on and preserved for all this time. Many doctrines we now take for granted were actually developed and defended during this time; carefully worded and formed to ensure that the truth of God doesn't get lost, diluted or warped for selfish gain. We owe much to these men of God and can still learn a great deal from them, as they still speak to us today as part of that great cloud of witnesses who have gone before us (Heb 12:1). This is an excerpt from the introduction to my new book. You can read more from the Early Church Fathers in my new book, 40 Days with the Fathe... It's that time of year when you begin to see various articles and debates online about Hallowe'en,remembered as a formal event, as the practice goes way back to at least 135 AD which we can read about in the Martyrdom of Polycarp. In it the believers are said to treat the bones of Polycarp as “more precious than the most exquisite jewels, and more purified than gold”. The next reference comes around 250 AD. In Epistle 36 of Cyprian, he states that the Church should take note of the days in which the martyrs are killed: Finally, also, take note of their days on which they depart, that we may celebrate their commemoration among the memorials of the martyrs … there are celebrated here by us oblations and sacrifices for their commemorations There's also other early references to this practice in sermons by Ephrem the Syrian (373

sometimes called "sons of God" — we are the son of Adam, therefore Jesus' sacrifice is only effective for "Adam". The writer of Hebrews sums this up for us nicely by saying, “it is clear that [Jesus] did not come to help angels”, but those in whom he shared a nature with — us! (Heb 2:14-16) Whatever sins the angels have made (other than rebelling; cf. Rev 12:4,7-9) it is not covered by the blood of Jesus as far as we know. We can infer this from what Paul teaches us about the ministry of reconciliation: 2 Corinthians 5:19that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. (Emphasis mine) The plan of salvation and thethings, avoid them (I'm paraphrasing, obviously). If Google offends your conscience, don't buy their smart speaker. Simple. Paul didn't tell them to go into a "holy outrage" about it. Why? Because these things really should have no effect on us or our faith. Just move along. Concern yourselves with the real cause for outrage, like injustice and poverty and actual persecution of our fellow brothers and sisters who, in many countries around the world, are "accounted as sheep to be slaughtered" (Rom 8:36). Isaiah 1:17learn to do good;seek justice,rescue the oppressed,defend the orphan,plead for the widow. (cf. James 1:27) It is violations of these things that should outrage us. Not how well AI can read webpages. A little perspective goes a long way. ...

allocated more time to grazing than bison did during summer. Our study suggests that the relationship between feeding-time investment and forage patchiness is important in determining differences in diet choice between bison and cattle. In contrast to cattle, it appears that bison balance nutrient and time demands during the rut by consuming almost exclusively graminoids. Apparently, bison and cattle may achieve similar dietary quality through different foraging behavior. We suggest that specific scale-dependent programmatic conditions exist where either herbivore may be the most appropriate for natural area management.obviate the need for these distinctions, however. For ethical reasons as well as for the sake of national interests, America cannot and should not ignore how governments treat their populations. It should be wary of dealing too closely with predatory and murderous regimes, making exceptions only when the national interest overwhelmingly compels it to do so. By contrast, U.S. policymakers should be open to cooperating with more liberal autocracies, and identify ways to strengthen the liberal elements in their systems of government. But the way a regime treats its population cannot be the sole criteria determining U.S. policy. Only at our peril do we ignore the ideological nature of authoritarian regimes. Kirkpatrick famously distinguished between authoritarian and totalitarian systems. The regimes she called traditional autocracies “do not disturb the

2016, FSU Oil & Gas Monitor quoted former UK Energy Minister Charles Hendry as saying that gas from Turkmenistan could reach European markets by various different means, including “overland routes through Iran.” It is unlikely that Hendry would make such an announcement without having received encouraging signals from both Tehran and Ashkhabad. The prospect of gas deliveries from Turkmenistan to European markets is disconcerting for Moscow, which regards the monopolization of gas supply to Europe as one of its major geopolitical and geoeconomic goals. The North Caucasus insurgency has weakened dramatically in recent years. While Chechnya-based jihadist groups now number a few dozen fighters, jamaats operating in Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay have been nearly wrecked. In Ingushetia, a few insurgent groups remain numbering a couple of dozen members. In Dagestan,Russian-speakers. Despite the existence of clearly pro-Russian attitudes in this region, Moscow has not supported them out of fear that it could raise extremist forms of nationalism in Russia, which would be highly problematic for the Kremlin. For more than a decade after the September 11, 2001 attacks in the U.S., the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) was the “bogeyman” of Central Asian militancy. It was the most well-known militant group in Central Asia and abroad, even though it was in exile in Afghanistan and Pakistan under the protection of the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Years of drone strikes and counter-insurgency operations failed to eliminate the IMU. Ironically, however, it was neither the U.S. nor coalition forces that destroyed the IMU. Rather, it was the Taliban who liquidated the IMU

are scant, but the United Nations estimated that 412 migrants died in the desert in 2017, an increase from the previous year. Death in such a system is no accident. An immigration system that restricts legal entry and then ensures dehydration and detention for those who cross otherwise will naturally have fatal results. In fact, the system is intended to heighten these dangers and then broadcast them to those who would follow. The deaths themselves are the deterrent. This isn’t hidden. The day after news of her death was reported, former congressman Jason Chaffetz said Jakelin should not have tried immigrating and that others should take heed of her fate. “That should be the message,” he said. “Don’t make this journey, it will kill you.” Yet officials like Chaffetz have createdmust receive a full accounting of the final moments of Jakelin’s death and the services she received, especially since we know there’s a pattern of substandard medical care in immigration facilities. Most important, we must overhaul our intake process completely. We can no longer clog ports of entry, arbitrarily deny fair asylum hearings, push people to desert crossings and then mistreat them when they cross. The hieleras must be abolished, the long lines must end, the destruction of supplies must end. Our system is set up to ensure these deaths, but it need not be this way. A different system would treat migrants with dignity and ensure their safe passage, preventing deaths like Jakelin’s. Instead, it’s set up to amplify them as deterrence for any who would dream of coming

available at a low cost. The monofilament test had high sensitivity (86%), and a better positive predictive value (63%) than self-reported numbness and the Sibbald 60-s Tool. The agreement with the NC-stat DPNCheck was also highest for this test (κ = 0.39), albeit still a substantial proportion (23%) of patients with positive monofilament test had normal NC-stat DPNCheck. The high sensitivity stands in contrast to previous studies that have found that monofilament used alone has low sensitivity compared to other tests [@b0110], [@b0115]. One can however speculate as to whether the monofilament tests estimate of DPN is too high in a population where barefoot walking is customary, resulting in thickening of palmar skin and reduced sensation. The Sibbald 60-Second Tool was chosen for its implementability by all healthcare providers, ease ofthe benefits of early identification of risk of foot ulceration, outweigh the risks associated with false positive results. Also, the interventions in terms of treating risk factors and patient education are advantageous to all DM patients. Furthermore, monofilament is inexpensive and ubiquitous. The automated point-of-care NCS device NC-stat DPNCheck could play a role as an alternative to traditional NCS in this setting. Conclusion {#s0065} ========== We have confirmed a rampant prevalence of DPN and an unfavourable metabolic risk profile in diabetes patients in Zanzibar. Our findings suggest the utility of monofilament as a screening tool for DPN and the NC-stat DPNCheck in cases of diagnostic uncertainty or for research purposes in a low resource setting. In order to address the associated risk of ulcers and amputations, a prospective study in this

in these cases, $H^{*}{\cal A}\sim\Phi_{0}={\hbar c}/{e}$, corresponds to a flux quanta threading the effective area, ${\cal A}$, explored by an electron during the tunneling event. A distinctive feature of the orbital mechanism in two dimensional films is its anisotropy with respect to the direction of the magnetic field. The spin mechanisms for positive MR are related either to the reduction of the density of states with the increase of the magnetic field due to its effect on doubly occupied states [@Kamimura], or to a possible reconstruction of the state of the system, see discussion in Refs. [@Kravchenko; @Ioffe]. Both mechanisms produce isotropic MR in films, and the characteristic magnetic field, $\mu_B H^{*}\sim \min (T,J)$, is obtained from the competition between the magnetic energy of the spin, $\mu_B H$ ($\mu_B$ isidentify the specific threats that you need to counter. But how? Threat Modelling In the world of corporate IT, a sensible security person will conduct a procedure to identify vulnerabilities in their systems, and the threats that could exploit them. This will help them to decide where to put their resources. This procedure is called “threat modelling”. It’s equally useful for individuals too. I’ve developed a simple method for personal threat modelling which will help you to understand the particular threats you face based on the way that you work, and the risks associated with them. Then, you can build a workflow that keeps you safe and productive. Let’s start with a scenario I hope you’ll be able to relate to. A writer, interested in hot political issues, who travels across borders

our case it makes sense to put more energy into mitigating the threat of malware, confiscation and mass surveillance than the threat of paranoid rubbernecking in a cafe or accidental leaks. Consequently, our writer might want to regularly update their software, use a security-focused operating system like Qubes OS, and to ensure that all data is strongly encrypted and extricated before they cross a border. They might also plan to avoid using insecure commercial cloud services for communication, switching to open source encrypted protocols such as Signal instead. Conclusion I’m certain that I’ve missed threats in this scenario. You could also argue that some threats are riskier than shown here. Individual workflow and privacy needs are unique so the risk of each threat will differ from person to person. Norstudents.

Each of FIGS. 1A and 1B shows, regarding a corresponding one of two patients, a carotid pulse wave and a brachial pulse wave that are simultaneously detected from the one patient and respective rising points of which are aligned with each other. The brachial pulse wave is extracted from pressure oscillation that is transmitted to a cuff in a state in which a pressure of the cuff is lower than a diastolic blood pressure of the patient (in this specification, this pulse wave will be referred to as the xe2x80x9clow-cuff-pressure pulse wavexe2x80x9d). This is a common method to detect an accurate pulse wave.

There was no significant difference in serum TOS levels between the groups (P=0.154). The TOS levels of the brain tissue were significantly higher in the NS group than the control group (p = 0.021). Nimodipine and NS have been shown to cause a significant reduction in the occurrence of oxidative stress in secondary brain injury in head trauma. We also found that histopathological apoptosis decreased after N, NS and N+NS treatment after head trauma.

To examine the relationship between evidence-based practice (EBP) adoption and social capital in nurses and to determine how social capital affected EBP adoption in South Korea. A cross-sectional, correlational design was used. In total, 432 registered nurses from two university-affiliated teaching hospitals in South Korea completed the questionnaire, which included demographic items, the Developing Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire, and the Social Capital Outcomes for Nurses scale. Data were analyzed using hierarchical regression to identify the predictors of EBP adoption. Nurses with higher social capital scores reported fewer perceived barriers to finding and reviewing evidence, and changing practice. Higher social capital scores were associated with higher levels of perceived facilitators of EBP adoption and skills appraisal in finding

Now the economy seems to be doing a bit better, which is leading my friends on the left to make two impossible-to-reconcile claims. It is doing better, but Obama deserves credit. The economy isn’t doing better. I’ve previously explained that the first argument doesn’t hold water. Today, let’s address the second argument. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, former CEO Andy Puzder claims that Trump easily wins over Obama when you look at the numbers. For eight years under President Obama, the growing burden of government suppressed the economic recovery that should have followed the recession of 2008-09. Mr. Obama nonetheless has claimed responsibility for today’s boom, asking Americans in September to “remember when this recovery started.” Yet it wasn’t until President Trump took office that the economy surged. …The result is aof those years often felt much like a recession. Amen. This echoes my criticism of Obamanomics. He made the U.S. a bit more like Europe, so it’s no surprise that growth was weak. Let’s now look at Puzder’s evidence that Trump has done a better job. He compares the end of the Obama economy with the beginning of the Trump economy. GDP growth staggered along at 1.5% in Mr. Obama’s final six full quarters in office. …growth doubled to 3% during Mr. Trump’s first six full quarters. …the increase in job openings over Mr. Trump’s first 21 months has averaged an impressive 75,000 a month. Over Mr. Obama’s last 21 months in office, the number of job openings increased an average of 900 a month. …During Mr. Obama’s last 21 months,

differential forms in the geometry of symmetric spaces associated with spontaneously broken symmetry groups and their gauge fields. The gauge approach considered here which presents the brane dynamics in terms of gauge field theories is [*exact in all orders*]{} in the tension $T$. The said exactness is one of the distinctions between this approach and the ones where some branes are considered as the [*solitons*]{} of supergravity theories describing the [*low-energy*]{} approximation of string theories (see e.g. \[43-45\] ). To explain the idea of the gauge approach \[33-36\] let us consider the simplest example of the Nambu string embedded into 3-dimensional Euclidean space-time. The string worldsheet $\Sigma_{2}$, described by its world vector $\mathbf{x}(\tau, \sigma)$, may be supplied with the local vectors $\mathbf{n}(\tau, \sigma)$ normal to $\Sigma_{2}$ at each point parametrized(\[intrl\]) which establish relations between the hypersurface metric and its spin connection. The field content of (\[inrot\]) becomes clear after the splitting of the matrix indices into the components tangent and normal to $\Sigma_{p+1}$, as prescribed by (\[spl\]). Then Eqs. (\[inrot\]) take the form of the field constraints $$\begin{aligned} F_{\mu\nu i}{}^{k}= -(W_{[\mu} W_{\nu]})_{i}{}^{k}, \label{cF} \\ H_{\mu\nu a}{}^{b}= -(W_{[\mu} W_{\nu]})_{a}{}^{b}, \label{cH} \\ (D_{[\mu} W_{\nu]})_{i}{}^{a}=0 \label{ccd}\end{aligned}$$ which yield the desired reformulation of the Gauss-Codazzi equations in terms of the gauge and massless vector fields $W_{\mu i}{}^{a}$ associated with the embedded hypersurfaces. They generalize the gauge constraints \[33-36\] associated with the string worldsheets ($p=1$) to the constraints for the fields describing $(p+1)$-dimensional hypersurfaces embedded into the Minkowski space. For the case of string these constraints together with (\[intrl\]) and the string EOM select the exactly solvable sector

Indeed, in terms of the shifted field strenghts $\hat{\cal F}$ (\[shftF\]) and $\hat{\cal H}$ (\[shftH\]), the G-C constraints (\[cF\]-\[ccd\]) acquire a simple form $$\begin{aligned} \label{FHWsol} {\cal F}_{\mu\nu}^{ik}=0,\ \ \ \ \ {\cal H}_{\mu\nu}^{ab}=0, \ \ \ \ \ \hat{\nabla}^{[\mu}W^{\nu]}_{ia}=0\end{aligned}$$ compatible with Eqs. (\[maxF1’\]-\[eqgW1ss\]) provided that ${\cal V}$ satisfy the condition $$\begin{aligned} \label{eqR} \frac{1}{2}\frac{\partial{\cal V}}{\partial W_{\nu ia}} - R^{\mu\nu} W_{\mu}^{ia}=0.\end{aligned}$$ Due to the [*independence*]{} of the background Ricci tensor $R^{\mu\nu}$ of $W_{\nu ia}$ we find the general solution of (\[eqR\]) $$\begin{aligned} \label{VRsolu} {\cal V}= R^{\mu\nu}W_{\mu}^{ia}W_{\nu ia} - c,\end{aligned}$$ where the integration constant $c$ is proportional to the cosmological constant connected with the background metric $g_{\mu\nu}(\xi^{\rho})$. The substitution of ${\cal V}$ (\[VRsolu\]) into (\[eqR\]) transforms it into the [*identity*]{} for [*any*]{} $R^{\mu\nu}$ independent of $\hat{W}_{\mu}$. In view of this, various restrictions on $R^{\mu\nu}$, including the Bianchi identity, will not lead to a new relation on $\hat{W}_{\mu}$. Thus, (\[eqR\]) comes as the necessary condition for the potential ${\cal V}$ needed to consider (\[FHWsol\]) as some initial data for (\[maxF1’\]-\[eqgW1ss\]). Therefore, we obtain the sought for the Lagrangian of $SO(1,p)\times SO(D-p-1)$-invariant gauge model (\[actn\]) compatible with the G-C constraints (\[FHWsol\]) $$\begin{aligned} \mathcal{L}= \frac{1}{4}Sp(F_{\mu\nu}F^{\mu\nu}) - \frac{1}{4}Sp(H_{\mu\nu}H^{\mu\nu}) \nonumber \\ + \frac{1}{2}\hat{\nabla}_{\mu}W_{\nu}^{ia} \, \hat{\nabla}^{\{\mu}W^{\nu\}}_{ia} -\hat{\nabla}_{\mu}W^{\mu ia} \, \hat{\nabla}_{\nu} W^{\nu}_{ia} \label{lagrR} \\ + R^{\mu\nu} W_{\mu}^{ia}W_{\nu ia} - \frac{1}{2}Sp(W_{\mu}[[W^{\mu}, W^{\rho}], W_{\rho}]) + c \nonumber\end{aligned}$$ which

Multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that urinary symptoms significantly affected bothersomeness and quality of life of young men. In a community-based population of healthy 20-year-old Korean men, the prevalence of urinary symptoms was 43.6%. The results of the study indicated that demographic variables might influence the prevalence of urinary symptoms in young men. In addition, our findings suggest that young men with urinary symptoms experience a negative impact on their quality of life.The Muppets are part of our lives, and as such we know when they’re being sold short. That’s why, while there’s little better than a work like Jason Segel’s Muppets film – that manages to hit the right mix of purity and anarchy and self-reference – nothing is quite as bad as a botched Muppet project. The Muppets sitcom is a case in point. As the most recent high-profile Muppets project, it might have been the catalyst for Whitmire’s sacking. That was a miserable slog of a show determined to sell out the Muppets – and Kermit in particular – at every turn. It turned Kermit into a stressed-out depressive egotist a million miles from the open-hearted frog of Rainbow Connection. Worse still, it had the temerity to make

that allow experience and neural activity to remodel brain function." Neurobiology JT Wall and J Xu have traced the mechanisms underlying neuroplasticity. Re-organization is not cortically emergent, but occurs at every level in the processing hierarchy; this produces the map changes observed in the cerebral cortex. Types As Shaw and McEachern described above, there is no all-inclusive theory that overarches different frameworks and systems in the study of neuroplasticity. However, researchers often describe neuroplasticity as “the ability to make adaptive changes related to the structure and function of the nervous system." Correspondingly, two types of neuroplasticity are often discussed: structural neuroplasticity and functional neuroplasticity. Structural neuroplasticity Structural plasticity is often understood as the brain's ability to change its neuronal connections. New neurons are constantly produced and integrated into the central nervousis considered a great risk as it negatively affects many areas of the brain and puts a strain on the sympathetic nervous system from constant activation. Trauma thus alters the brain's connections such that children who have experienced trauma may be hyper vigilant or overly aroused. However a child's brain can cope with these adverse effects through the actions of neuroplasticity. There are many examples of neuroplasticity in human development. In an article written by Justine Ker and Stephen Nelson, the effects of musical training on neuroplasticity is looked at. Musical training is a form of experience dependent plasticity. This is when changes in the brain occur based on experiences that are unique to an individual. Examples of this are learning multiple languages, playing a sport, doing

is greatly associated with learning and communication. Neurolinguists used a diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scanning method to determine the white matter intensity between monolinguals and bilinguals. Increased myelinations in white matter tracts were found in bilingual individuals who actively use the both languages in everyday life. The demand of handling more than one language requires more efficient connectivity within the brain and grey matter, which resulted in greater white matter density for multilinguals. While it is still debated whether these changes in brain are result of genetic disposition or environmental demands, many evidences suggest that environmental, social experience in early multilinguals affect the structural and functional reorganization in the brain.

SEC. 7. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS FOR A DEMAND REDUCTION COORDINATOR.[edit] There is authorized to be appropriated $5,900,000 to the Drug Enforcement Administration of the Department of Justice for the hiring of a special agent in each State to serve as a Demand Reduction Coordinator. There is authorized to be appropriated such sums as necessary to the Drug EnforcementMay 5, 2015 DOJ to look into APD’s use of federal training The U.S. Department of Justice has agreed to take a look into the Albuquerque Police Department’s participation with the Department of Energy at at a federal facility. This comes months after Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, D-N.M., voiced concern about the police department’s use of the DOE’s National Training Center, which is located at Kirtland Air Force Base. There, Albuquerque police took part in training and in some cases instructed courses using controversial methods. Grisham released a statement today about the matter, saying that she raised concerns in February to DOE Secretary Ernest Moniz about whether Albuquerque police “should have access to the facilities and classes used to train special DOE police forces to protect the nation’s nuclear stockpile.” She mentioned that

in the plant "as of January 1st", no part of it was assessed as real estate in 1949. The installation was completed in 1950 but none of this property was assessed in that year. In 1951, since this new machinery and new equipment was deemed real estate for taxation, it was assessed as provided in the italicized lines in the copy of section 428.4, supra, as "any real property not included in the previous assessment". It was the position of the plaintiff before the Board and the *19 trial court, and is on this appeal, that this property was assessable only in the years in which real estate was regularly assessed, and that it could not be assessed in any other year, since it was not in fact,an intent on the part of the Legislature is plainly and reasonably expressed therein. Unless excepted or exempted it is the established law of this state that all property is to be taxed. Cherry v. Board of Review, 238 Iowa 189, 192, 26 N.W.2d 316, 317. It is to be presumed that in enacting tax laws, the Legislature so intended, if the language used fairly expresses such intention. Assuredly, it must not be presumed that any legislature intended to enact laws permitting the nullification of such recognized rule of law. In the instant case the plaintiff installed the new machinery in 1949 to the approximate value of $769,000, and in 1950, of $220,169. If the contention of the plaintiff is the law of this state, then the state

will be deprived of taxes on the machinery installed in 1949, for the years 1950, 1951 and 1952 and for that installed in *21 1950, for the years 1951 and 1952. Under such statutory construction as the plaintiff urges upon the court, manufacturers will confine their installation of new machinery to the regular year for assessing real estate, so as to avoid the largest possible tax burden. It is our conclusion that the Legislature did not so intend and did not so enact that such an enormous escape from taxes should be permitted to manufacturers. We find no opinion of this court directly in point in the construction of the statutory sections quoted above. The plaintiff has cited none that are applicable. In support of the construction contended formachine in the year following its installation, would result in the plaintiff being taxed upon the old machine which had been removed from the plant, and also the new machine at the same time, thereby resulting in double taxation of the plaintiff." We cannot follow the able trial court all the way. Double taxation is twice taxing the same identical property. The assessor and the Board did not do that. In 1949 they assessed, as real estate, worn out and obsolescent machines—some installed in 1920. That assessment was placed against machinery of a greatly depreciated value—much of it charged off on the books of plaintiff in years past. But in 1951 the valuation and assessment was on different machinery—neither old, inadequate, nor antiquated—but on new, up-to-date machinery and equipment,

However, our approach will serve this agenda more fully. The U.S. will best lead the world by showcasing its research for everyone, including the Americans taxpayers who have funded it, to learn from and build on. You cannot showcase the quality of federally-funded research to its full potential by limiting access to it. Additionally, the value and benefits of opening up research to be read and built upon should by now be self-evident: consider doctors dealing with disease outbreaks needing the most up-to-date information possible; patients making informed healthcare choices; teachers and students, wherever they are, accessing the wealth of US-funded knowledge; small business owners accessing the cutting edge of technology; farmers understanding the most recent research on crops.

A new survey shows that three out of four people would rather meet someone on the treadmill than at the bar—would you? Last week, I was leaving the gym sweaty, sans makeup, and exhausted, when a cute guy (whose butt I had been ogling mid-squat) rushed to meet me at the door. “Were you a collegiate athlete?” he asked. “You work out so hard.” Before I knew it, we had exchanged numbers and I had a date on my calendar. I loved it—and I’m not alone: Sixty-two percent of singles think the gym is a good place to find love, according to a new survey of 1,500 members of the social dating service Canoodle.com. And three-fourths of people would rather meet someone there than at a bar.

I have tried the files.walk method, but it didn't work. I would rather to stick to Files.list() String dirName = "."; try { Files.list(Paths.get(dirName)).forEach(System.out:: println); } catch (IOException ex) { Logger.getLogger(ActiveDirectory.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } I wanted the output to be only folders, but the output is everything including folders .\build .\build.xml .\manifest.mf .\nbproject .\src .\test A: I just post this since I saw a long trail of comments are going to be made under the question. You can filter the directories using Files::isDirectory: Files.list(Paths.get(dirName)) .filter( Files::isDirectory ) .forEach(System.out::println); Orusing File#listFiles which accepts a boolean filter: File[] directories = new File(dirName).listFiles( f -> f.isDirectory() ); Arrays.stream( directories ).forEach( System.out::println ); But you should take the MadProgrammer's advice to make your solution out of the other solutions. It is not always this easy for someone to post your desired solution which you can use out of the box.

Demengel [@dem11] proved existence, uniqueness and Hölder regularity for solutions of a class of singular or degenerate parabolic equations including , see also [@bata; @OS] and references therein. Argiolas, Charro, and Peral [@arg] showed Aleksandrov-Bakelman-Pucci type estimate, whereas Parviainen and Vázquez [@PV18] showed parabolic Harnack’s inequality for radial solutions. In the case $\gamma=0$ and $f\equiv 0$, Jin and Silvestre [@jinsl15] showed the Hölder regularity of the gradient for solutions of , and the result was generalized by Imbert, Jin, and Silvestre [@IJS17] to the whole range $-1<\gamma<\infty$. In the non-homogeneous case, Attouchi and Parviainen [@AP17] treated $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity in the uniformly parabolic case $\gamma=0$, and later the same result was proved by Attouchi [@att19] in the degenerate case $\gamma\in (0, \infty)$. For related

regularity results in the elliptic setting, we refer to [@wang94; @Birindellid10; @IS13; @Birindellid14; @Attouchipr17; @Attouchir18; @BM19]. In this paper we continue the study of $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity by focusing on the range $\gamma\in (-1,0)$. Our main result is the following. \[paalause\] Let $u$ be a viscosity solution of equation , where $-1<\gamma<0$, $1<p<\infty$, and $f$ is a continuous and bounded function. There exist $\alpha=\alpha(p,n, \gamma)\in(0,1)$ and $C=C(p,n, \gamma,{\left|\left|u\right|\right|}_{L^\infty(Q_1)},{\left|\left|f\right|\right|}_{L^\infty(Q_1)})>0$ such that when $(x,t),(y,s)\in Q_{1/2}$, $$|Du(x,t)-Du(y,s)|\leq C(|x-y|^\alpha+|t-s|^{\beta})$$ and $$|u(x,t)-u(x,s)|\leq C|t-s|^\sigma,$$ where $\beta:= \frac{\alpha}{2-\alpha \gamma}$ and $\sigma:=\frac{1+\alpha}{2-\alpha \gamma}$. Our proof relies on the method of alternatives and the improvement of flatness. The strategy is to define a process that provides a better linear approximation in a smaller cylinder, and which we can iterate until we reach a cylinder where a so called smooth alternative holds. Morecontrol on the Hölder norm of $w$ and apply again the Ishii-Lions’s method in order to get good enough Lipschitz estimates. Let $K\in {{\mathbb R}}^n$ with $2\leq |K|\leq M$ for some $M=M(p,n, \gamma)>0$. Let $w$ be a viscosity solution to $$\partial_t w-|Dw+K|^\gamma\left[\Delta u+(p-2) \dfrac{D^2 w (Dw +K), (\ Du+K)}{|Dw+K|^2}\right]=\tilde f.$$ with $w(0)=0$. There exists $\eta_0=\eta_0(p,n,\gamma)$ such that if ${\left|\left|w\right|\right|}_{L^\infty(Q_1)}\leq \eta_0$ and ${\left|\left|\tilde f\right|\right|}_{L^\infty(Q_1)}\leq \eta_0$, then $w$ is locally Hölder continuous in space and for $(x,t), (y,t)\in Q_{7/8}$ it holds $$|w(x,t)-w(y,t)|\leq |x-y|^{\bar \beta},$$ where $\bar\beta =\min(\frac12, \dfrac{4}{5\bar C}M^{\frac{\gamma}{1+\gamma}})$, with $\bar C$ being the constant coming from . We fix $x_0, y_0\in B_{7/8}$, $t_0\in (-(7/8)^2,0)$ and consider the function $$\begin{aligned} \Phi(x, y,t):&=w(x,t)-w(y,t)-L_2{\left|x-y\right|}^{\bar \beta}-\frac{L_1}{2}{\left|x-x_0\right|}^2- \frac{L_1}{2}{\left|y-y_0\right|}^2-\frac{L_1}{ 2} (t-t_0)^2,

Notice $X-Y\leq 0$ (this follows from ) and that at least one of the eigenvalues of $X-Y$ is negative and smaller than $8L_2\bar\beta{\left|\bar x-\bar y\right|}^{\bar\beta-2}\left(\frac{\bar\beta-1}{3-\bar\beta}\right)$. Using that the eigenvalues of ${\mathcal A}(\xi_1)$ belong to $[\min(1, p-1), \max(1, p-1)]$ , we get $$\begin{aligned} {\operatorname{tr}}({\mathcal A}(\xi_1) (X-Y))&\leq \sum_i \lambda_i({\mathcal A}(\xi_1))\lambda_i(X-Y)\leq 8L_2\bar\beta{\left|\bar x-\bar y\right|}^{\bar\beta-2}\left(\frac{\bar\beta-1}{3-\bar\beta}\right)\min(1,p-1). \end{aligned}$$ We estimate ($i_2$) by $$\begin{aligned} {\operatorname{tr}}( ({\mathcal A}(\xi_1)-{\mathcal A}(\xi_2)) Y) &\leq 2n{\left|p-2\right|}{\left|\left|Y\right|\right|}|\hat \xi_1-\hat\xi_2|. \end{aligned}$$ Using that $|\xi_1-\xi_2|\leq <?php namespace oasis\names\specification\ubl\schema\xsd\CommonBasicComponents_2; /** * @xmlNamespace urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2 * @xmlType TimingComplaintType * @xmlName TimingComplaint * @var oasis\names\specification\ubl\schema\xsd\CommonBasicComponents_2\TimingComplaint */ class TimingComplaint extends TimingComplaintType { } // end class TimingComplaint

15 hike in motoring fines planned Drivers may be fined £15 more for motoring offences in order to finance a Government scheme supporting victims of crime, it has been revealed.Ê Those convicted of crime in court have had to pay the surcharge on top of their fines since 2007, but now the Government intends to apply it to fixed penalty notices and on-the-spot fines. Plans for the charge would see the current speeding fine jump from £60 to £75, and justice minister Claire Ward said: "We intend to add the surcharge to other disposals as soon as it becomes feasible to do so." Other offences covered by the surcharge would be drivers caught not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile phone or given a parking ticket, while non-motoring crimes such as beingStatic for things like user controls, or you could end up with multiple elements with the same ID. For data-bound controls like GridView, you'll also want to use the ClientIDRowSuffix property in order to ensure each row is differentiated. This post has some good examples. A: Another way to deal with the IDs in JavaScript would be to do something like this: var something = '<%= btnId.ClientID %>'; Example: If you have a button control like this: <asp:Button ID="btnId" runat="server"></asp:Button> and the ID is translated to id="ct100_ContentPlaceHolder1_btnId" then you could use the variable something to access the control.

high fiber concentration in the sheet, while the protrusions form regions of relatively lower fiber concentration; together, the zones of high and low fiber concentration impart desirable softness and absorbency characteristics to the sheet thus formed. Such fabrics are well known and numerous constructions have been described in the prior art. The known fabrics are of either single or multiple layer construction, and are designed to impart a pattern onto the paper sheet which they convey so as to create the aforementioned desirable properties. These known fabrics deliver surface topography using various means, such as by providing a patterned, resin coated surface onto a woven substrate in the manner described for example by Trokhan et al. in U.S. Pat.

to count I defendant had personally inflicted great bodily injury and had personally used a knife (§§ 12022, subd. (b), 12022.7), and as to counts II, III and IV defendant had used a knife and had inflicted great bodily injury (§§ 12022.3, 12022.8). Defendant admitted a prior rape conviction for which he served a prison term. On appeal defendant contends it was error to include the oral copulation charge in the information after it had been dismissed at the preliminary hearing. He further urges sentencing error through multiple use of his prior conviction. We conclude defendant is wrong regarding the reinstatement of the forcible oral copulation charge but correct in his allegations of sentencing error. We shall order the sentence modified and as modified shall affirm. FACTS While waiting outside theto mean that if defendant has one prior prison term and commits several new offenses, only one enhancement for the prior is imposed, not one enhancement on each new conviction. (See, e.g., In re Clawson (1981) 122 Cal. App.3d 222, 225 [175 Cal. Rptr. 732]; People v. Bejarano (1981) 114 Cal. App.3d 693, 706 [173 Cal. Rptr. 71].)[12] We perceive the plain meaning of section 667.6, subdivision (a) must be construed in a similar manner, to provide for "an" (one) enhancement for each prior forcible sex conviction. Nothing in People v. Ottombrino requires a different result. Ottombrino simply held that sentences for forcible sex offenses could be computed under section 667.6, separately from any nonsex offenses sentenced pursuant to section 1170.1. (People v.

Although he knew Vinnie was not going to like what Michael had to say today, he was confident the worst case would be having to suffer a lambasting followed by a threat of some kind. With that mildly reassuring thought in mind, Michael had phoned Vinnie to ask for a meeting, and Vinnie had invited him to the restaurant. Entering the restaurant, Michael had to push aside a heavy drape that protected nearby tables from the draft of the open door. Then he had to let his eyes adjust to the dim interior.

She was the sole PA officially working from eleven to seven but rarely left before eight. She was aided, if need be, by forensic pathology residents who rotated night call. If even more backup was needed or the case was particularly challenging, one of the medical examiners was also available. "Did I miss something?" Janice asked, as Laurie came up to her desk. Laurie got along famously with all the PA's but particularly with Janice, who appreciated Laurie's recognition of her work. More than any of the MEs, Laurie was constantly coming to her and

making himself comfortable. He'd gotten a coffee and a hero at Johnny's, as had Angelo. "Here come Richie and Freddie," Angelo said, looking in the rearview mirror and watching the white van pull up within a foot behind them. Franco didn't answer. He was intent on surveying the area to make sure there were no apparent problems, such as parked police cars or loitering flatfoot patrolmen. Angelo took a swig from his coffee, then unwrapped his sub. When he was finished, he glanced out the windshield and started. "The boyfriend!" Angelo called out loud enough to make Franco slosh a dollop of coffee into his crotch. Angelo blindly reached for the small cast-iron bottle of ethylene and a plastic bag. "Shit!"

During Lent, kings and schoolboys, commoners and nobility, all complained about being deprived of meat for the long, hard weeks of solemn contemplation of their sins. At Lent, owners of livestock were even warned to keep an eye out for hungry dogs frustrated by a "hard siege by Lent and fish bones". The trend from the 13th century onward was toward a more legalistic interpretation of fasting. Nobles were careful not to eat meat on fast days, but still dined in style; fish replaced meat, often as imitation hams and bacon; almond milk replaced animal milk as an expensive non-dairy alternative; faux eggs made from almond milk were cooked in blown-out eggshells, flavoured and coloured with exclusive spices. In some cases the lavishness of noble tables was outdone by

that food had to be "tempered" according to its nature by an appropriate combination of preparation and mixing certain ingredients, condiments and spices; fish was seen as being cold and moist, and best cooked in a way that heated and dried it, such as frying or oven baking, and seasoned with hot and dry spices; beef was dry and hot and should therefore be boiled ; pork was hot and moist and should therefore always be roasted. In a recipe for quince pie, cabbage is said to work equally well, and in another turnips could be replaced by pears. The completely edible shortcrust pie did not appear in recipes until the 15th century. Before that the pastry was primarily used as a cooking container in a technique known asMultidirectional shoulder instability. Multi-directional shoulder instability is a difficult problem to both diagnose and treat. Knowledge of shoulder anatomy and its pathological states has expanded dramatically in recent years. Aiding diagnostic acumen are new tools including CT arthrograms, glenohumeral arthroscopy, and evaluation under anesthesia. MDI of the shoulder is increasingly recognized as a clinical entity. Diagnosing this problem demands great skill in correlating the history with the physical examination and radiographic procedures. Conservative treatment is the initial treatment of choice. Surgical treatment is exacting both in its preoperative assessment and surgical technique.

fan holds up, this thing should last a long time. On my old R40 laptop, the 4pin firewire gave a nice bump in speed (@15%) over USB, which is what I was really after for backups (18- 24 USB, 23-28 FW, depending on file size). Read speeds peaked at 38-46, up from 28-36. Link is still a small bottleneck, but the FW is MUCH better, and the added benefit of both USB and Firewire just adds even more value. Cons: The 4-pin power plug is not a very firm fit--it is easy for it to slip out. Make sure the power cable is secured, and if you need to move the drive, need to make sure to support the power plug in the process--but that is common with FirewireQ: Why does this Oracle 10g SQL run slow only when I query a subquery with a where clause? I can't paste in the entire SQL for various reasons, so consider this example: select * from (select nvl(get_quantity(1), 10) available_qty from dual) where available_qty > 30; get_quantity is a function that makes a calculation based on the ID of a record that's passed through it. If it returns null, I use nvl() to force it to 10. The query runs very slow when I use the WHERE clause in the parent query. When I comment out the WHERE clause, however, it runs very fast. What I don't get is why it can display the data very fast, but it can't query it just as

Aqueous synthesis of near-infrared highly fluorescent platinum nanoclusters. A one-step synthesis of near infrared fluorescent platinum nanoclusters (PtNCs) in aqueous medium is described. The proposed optimized procedure for PtNC synthesis is rather simple, fast and it is based on the direct metal reduction with NaBH4. Bidentated thiol ligands (lipoic acid) were selected as nanoclusters stabilizers in water media. The structural characterization revealed attractive features of the PtNCs, including small size, high water solubility, near-infrared luminescence centered at 680 nm, long-term stability and the highest quantum yield in water reported so far (47%) for PtNCs. Moreover, their stability in different pH media and an ionic strength of 0.2 M NaCl was studied and no significant changes in fluorescence emission were detected. In brief, they offer a new type of fluorescentthose desires with other people. I also wanted to know: How risky is it to act on those sexual desires with someone, even if they’re also self-quarantining? Being hornier than usual right now is perfectly normal. So is not wanting to have sex at all. In the first week of social distancing, I noticed a few more green circles popping up on my Instagram feed than usual. Green circles are the platform’s way of indicating that you’re on someone’s “Close Friends” list, seeing a post made for a specific set of eyes decided on by the user. On my Instagram feed, these Close Friends posts usually come from gay men sharing thirst traps, a particularly randy brand of photo or video — usually shirtless, sometimes featuring underwear — that’s designed

have been asked to socially distance themselves for more than three weeks now. Theoretically speaking, that’s longer than the reported incubation period for the disease. But it’s important to keep in mind that just because people have dutifully followed self-quarantine measures and think they might be okay to go out to see someone once in a while, it doesn’t mean that they no longer pose a risk to each other. It’s simple: Sleeping with someone who doesn’t live in your home is still a risk, because at this point, anyone outside of your own home could stand as a health risk to you right now. “Social distancing reduces your risk greatly, and it reduces the risk that you pose to others greatly, but it’s no guarantee that you didn’t getit when you went to the grocery store three days ago,” Anna Muldoon, a former science policy adviser at the US Department of Health and Human Services and PhD candidate researching infectious disease and social crises at Arizona State University, told me. “Every time you leave your house, there’s some level of risk. When people say they’ve been self-quarantining for two weeks, very few of them actually mean they’ve had zero risk of exposure in two weeks. And the other thing is, on your way to that [sex] date, you’ve got to get there somehow, and that’s another exposure risk.” Muldoon said perhaps someone living in your neighborhood or even your building could be the least worst choice to sleep with for someone who absolutely can’t hold off. (Muldoon

grounds is even a prototype of Edison's concrete house. "Edison's one-of-a-kind system was patented for the purpose of building a single, repeatable structure without any parts, with a single act of construction," said Burgermaster, "And, remarkably, 100 years later many of these houses remain standing." This paper analyzed Edison's invention of a single-pour system for concrete construction as a novel application of this material's dynamic behavior and speculated on its role in the development of a type of integrated building anatomy that, perhaps inadvertently, also invented the idea of a seamless architecture. Originally motivated by the objective of providing a cost-effective prototype for the working-class home, this early experiment in mass-production was one of Modernism's first attempts to construct a building with a single material. Edison's 1917 patent proposed a building-sized moldas a type within the vala program with no more fuss. So the outcome of all this is that while vala is an interesting language which I may well use again in future, one should be aware that it is still very immature as a solution and has nowhere near enough documentation especially round the awkward stuff where it needs it most.

Predictive experimental animal tumor models: a concept. As an introduction to the session on Animal Tumor Models, a concept of animal model systems in presented that differentiates between models of organ-related diseases such as prostate or bladder cancer and models of a certain class of neoplasms found within a specific organ disease. Thus defined, no one animal tumor can completely represent and be predictive for a disease entity, no more so than can a single clinical experience with prostate cancer, e.g., be representative of all clinical cases. Rather, a block of animal tumors originating from a specific organ that reflects a spectrum of carefully defined growth patterns and reactivities best mimics the overall responses obtained clinically. Because immunotherapy is most logically visualized and applied in an adjuvant mode, its“public charge” proposal, which would punish green card and visa applicants who qualify for public assistance such as Medicaid, could result in more working families going without health coverage. (Undocumented immigrants already are not eligible for Medicaid and ACA plans, and legal residents can only access Medicaid after living in the US for five years.) Coupled with Trump’s harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric and the administration’s broad law enforcement crackdown on immigrant communities, Lower-Basch said the proposed public charge rule could have a “chilling effect” that dissuades immigrant families from accessing Medicaid and other services they are eligible for by simply being in the headlines, even if the administration never finalizes the rule itself. “It’s incredibly counterproductive, because insurance keeps people both healthier and economically more secure, and lets both parents and

[Sealing of ultraporous vascular prostheses with autologous fibrinogen]. After their long lasting experience with commercially prepared fibrinogen for sealing off ultraporous vascular prostheses, the authors have introduced the use of freshly prepared fibrinogen from the patient's own blood. This approach provides an additional advantage by allowing to substitute the blood losses at the operation with shelfed autologous blood. The preparation of autologous fibrinogen is described and the advantages of its use are discussed.[Esophago-intestinal bypass anastomoses for inoperable cancer of the proximal portion of the stomach and abdominal portion of the esophagus]. To lessen a damage and to eliminate the reflux-esophagitis in bypass anastomoses, constructed for inoperable cancer of the stomach and epicardia, it is suggested to create a side-to side enteroesophageal anastomosis by means of an apparatus of the authors' design. The anastomosis is constructed above the tumor via a transperitoneal approach. To prevent regurgitation of the intestinal juice in the esophagus an invagination-valve enteroanastomosis elaborated at the clinic was employed. The immediate results are good.
