", "Description of the Prior Art\nThose lacquers wherein the solvent is based partly or completely on water are becoming increasingly important in technology for reasons of pollution control and for saving organic solvents which are dependent on petroleum. ", "Attempts have been made for a long time to produce aqueous lacquers which are to be equal in their properties to lacquers dissolved in organic solvents. ", "Up until now, it has been impossible to fully achieve this objective. ", "For this reason, aqueous lacquers, apart from cationic electrophoretic enamels, are only used to a limited extent for the production of high-grade lacquers.", "\nOne of the main problems which arise when aqueous lacquer systems are used is the poor pigmenting ability thereof. ", "In the case of pigment contents which are required to achieve a good covering power, water lacquers usually lose their gloss. ", "The other properties in terms of lacquering, for example elongation, impact elasticity, adhesion and corrosion prevention, also frequently deteriorate as the pigmenting increases.", "\nIn order to overcome these problems of pigmenting, it is proposed in DE-AS No. ", "2,507,884 to dissolve polyacrylate or polyester lacquer binders which contain carboxyl groups in low-boiling organic solvents before they are dispersed in water, and to work the pigments into this solution. ", "The organic pigment dispersion which is produced in this manner is dispersed in water once the carboxyl groups have been neutralized, and the organic solvent is removed by azeotropic distillation. ", "This method suffers from various disadvantages. ", "First of all, the detour via the organic pigment dispersion with subsequent azeotropic distillation represents a considerably increased technical expense compared to the conventional operation for lacquers. ", "Secondly, the pigmenting restricts the manufacturer's ability to alter the formulation of the lacquers to the time before the lacquer is converted into an aqueous dispersion, because once the mixture had been dispersed, the pigmenting thereof cannot be changed.", "\nThus, an object of the present invention is to provide an aqueous lacquer system which does not suffer from the above-mentioned pigmenting problems. ", "In the aqueous phase, it should be able to be mixed with the quantities of pigments which are required to achieve an effective covering power according to the methods conventional in lacquer technology and, after being applied in a conventional manner, it should produce lacquers which have a good gloss and which are distinguished by good elongation, good adhesion and an effective corrosion prevention with a high hardness level.", "\nThis object may be achieved by providing the lacquer systems according to the present invention which are described in more detail in the following. ", "This invention is based on the surprising observation that aqueous solutions or dispersions of heat-hardenable mixtures of polyurethane prepolymers containing carboxylate groups and blocked isocyanate groups and polyurethane prepolymers containing carboxylate groups and hydroxyl groups are not affected by the pigmenting problems described above if these polyurethane prepolymer mixtures contain specific polyether segments which are defined in more detail in the following, in addition to specific polyester segments which are also defined in more detail in the following.", "\nThe fact that the good pigmenting ability of the products according to the present invention is actually unusual for aqueous lacquer systems is also revealed by comparative experiments with conventional polyurethane dispersions, for example with the thermally cross-linkable water lacquers which may be obtained according to EP-OS No. ", "75 775 and which contain polyurethane-polyureas having carboxylate groups and hydrophobic blocked polyisocyanates.", "\nCombinations of water-soluble or water-dispersible blocked polyisocyanates which contain carboxylate groups and water-soluble or water-dispersible organic compounds which have isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms are known in principle and are described in DE-PS No. ", "2,456,469.

", " The assault consisted of shooting and seriously wounding an officer of the Medford Police Department.

", " Subsequently, Cinelli's family retained his present counsel, Edward J. McCormick, III. ", " McCormick represented Cinelli at a bail review hearing on May 8, 1981, and has represented him since then. ", " Because he was unable to make bail, Cinelli was detained in an isolation cell in the Billerica House of Corrections.", "\n\n\n4\nOn May 12, Detective Cutillo received an anonymous phone call telling him that Cinelli wanted to speak to him. ", " Cutillo and his partner, Nunez, went to the Billerica House of Corrections where they interviewed Cinelli.", "\n\n\n5\nAt some time following the interview, Cinelli brought a motion to dismiss the indictment claiming that during the interview the two detectives wilfully interfered with his constitutional right to counsel and to a fair trial. ", " There was a hearing on the motion before Massachusetts Superior Court Justice Paul K. Connolly, who denied the motion. ", " Our recitation of the facts is derived from the record of the motion hearing and, where the testimony of the witnesses differs, from the findings of the superior court justice.", "\n\n\n6\nAfter the two detectives arrived at the jail, but prior to the interview, Cinelli signed a waiver that stated: \"Under your constitutional rights, you do not need to talk to any officers without your lawyer being present. ", " Whether you talk to the above officer(s) or official(s), please indicate and sign.\" ", " This was followed by two sentences stating: \"I will [will not] voluntarily talk to the above officials.\" ", " Cinelli signed under the sentence stating \"I will voluntarily talk,\" etc. ", " Cinelli claims that the waiver was folded when it was handed to him, that he did not read it before he signed it, and he signed only because he was told by the jail officer that if he wanted to get out of the \"hole\" he had to sign it. ", " The jail officer testified that he gave the waiver form to Cinelli open, had no conversation with him at all and that Cinelli looked at the form before signing it.", "\n\n\n7\nCutillo, who had arrested Cinelli on several occasions in the past, conducted most of the interrogation. ", " He testified in essence as follows: He did not ask Cinelli to cooperate in the investigation. ", " Cinelli told him that he did not have a lawyer at the time but that his mother was getting him one. ", " He indicated to Cinelli that because of the system, Cinelli might be in jail for a year before his case came to trial. ", " Cutillo testified that all during the interview Cinelli insisted that he was not involved in the robbery and assault.", "\n\n\n8\nCinelli's testimony differed sharply from that of Cutillo. ", " According to Cinelli, shortly after the interrogation started, he asked \"Where's my lawyer, isn't he supposed to be here.\" ", " Cutillo then said in effect that there was no point in having a lawyer because in addition to officer McGlynn (the police officer shot during the robbery), \"we have another eye witness.\" ", " Cinelli was then advised by Cutillo that if he would talk to them \"we can make it easier on you.\" ", " Cinelli further testified that Cutillo told him if he did not cooperate, Cutillo would make sure that he got life.", "\n\n\n9\nWe now turn to the pertinent superior court findings:\n\n\n10\nIn view of the totality of circumstances in the present case, the court is of the firm belief that the defendant's waiver of counsel prior to his conversation with Detectives Cutillo and Nunez on May 12, 1981, was voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently waived.1\n\n\n11\nThe detectives advised the defendant that the Commonwealth's case against him appeared to be strong. ", " The detectives intimated that no lawyer would be able to help the defendant, that the defendant could spend up to a year in jail awaiting trial and that the defendant would benefit by cooperating with the police in identifying other participants in the crime. ", " The detectives told the defendant he could receive a life sentence for the crime he was charged with.", "\n\n\n12\nAt the time the conversation of May 12th took place, Detectives Cutillo and Nunez had reason to believe the defendant had the right to have counsel present during their jailhouse interview. ", " Both detectives admit their purpose in visiting the defendant was to see if he would co-operate with the police investigation, although the detectives claim they went to Billerica believing the defendant had requested to see him. ", " At some point during the conversation, the defendant asked where his lawyer was and suggested that his lawyer should be present. ", " Both detectives deny having known the identify [sic] of the defendant's counsel when they visited the defendant on May 12th, and neither detective made any attempt to identify or locate the defendant's attorney before or during the May 12th meeting.", "\n\n\n13\nIn an effort to secure the co-operation of the defendant in the ongoing investigation of the Medford robbery, police overzealousness gave way to impropriety. ", " The court considers the detectives' comments regarding the strength of the Commonwealth's case against the defendant, the length of time possible before the defendant's trial date, and the suggestion that the defendant could receive a life sentence if convicted wholly inappropriate.", "\n\n\n14\nWhile it is true the defendant could have cut off the conversation at any point, and the defendant here elected not to do so, the defendant did make a reference to his attorney being absent and questioned whether the detectives' suggestions were proper.

", " Two undercover NYPD detectives were\n\nfatally shot in this neighborhood in March 2003.", "\n\n From the car, O’Brien observed a skinny, white male\n\nwalking in the middle of Boyd Street toward the intersection where\n\nthe apartment building is located. ", "Based upon the man’s skinny and\n\n“disheveled” appearance, and the fact that he was a white man in a\n\n\n1\n In denying Padilla’s motion to suppress, the district court\nadopted a report and recommendation issued by Magistrate Judge\nRoanne L.

", "The sole witness at\nthe hearing was Brendan O’Brien, a New York City Police\nDepartment (“NYPD”) detective who stopped and frisked Padilla and\nfound the handgun on him. ", "The facts set forth in this section\nare from Det. ", "O’Brien’s undisputed testimony, which the\nmagistrate judge found to be credible. ", "Because the testimony was\nnot disputed and was found credible, we take it as true for\npurposes of our opinion.", "\n 3\n\fpredominantly African American neighborhood, O’Brien believed that\n\nhe might have been a drug user on his way to the surveilled\n\nbuilding to buy drugs. ", " Instead of turning left on Cedar street\n\ntoward the building, however, the disheveled man continued straight\n\non Boyd street, crossing Cedar toward a wooded pathway where Boyd\n\nends.", "\n\n At this point, Det. ", "O’Brien noticed two other men who\n\nappeared to be following the disheveled man. ", " One of the two who\n\nwere following was the defendant, Padilla. ", " The two men were\n\nwalking together in single file and without speaking in the same\n\ndirection along Boyd street, twenty feet behind the disheveled man.", "\n\nThere was no one else around. ", " From the manner in which the two men\n\nwere walking, in single file while remaining directly behind the\n\ndisheveled man, it appeared to Det. ", "O’Brien that they were trying\n\nto avoid the man’s peripheral vision so that he would be unable see\n\nthem were they to approach from behind.", "\n\n The two men continued across Cedar street, staying behind\n\nthe disheveled man and heading toward the same wooded path.", "\n\nO’Brien thought it was odd that the only persons on the street at\n\nthat time would all choose to walk through an unlit wooded path in\n\nthat high crime area after dark, instead of using the lighted\n\nsidewalks. ", " He believed that a crime might possibly happen inside\n\nthe wooded lot— either that the two men would rob the disheveled\n\nman, or that the three would engage in a drug transaction.", "\n\n 4\n\f With his suspicions aroused, O’Brien drove around the\n\nblock to observe whether the three men exited the path or remained\n\nin the wooded area. ", " It took O’Brien approximately thirty seconds\n\nto circle the block. ", " On the other side, he saw that the two men\n\nhad caught up to the disheveled man, and the three had exited the\n\npath and appeared to be walking as a group. ", " Although O’Brien did\n\nnot think that the two men already had robbed the other in that\n\nshort span of time, he believed that a robbery still might occur.", "\n\nHe testified that he\n\n still thought [the robbery] could possibly be taking place;\n that they had got up close to him now and where [the wooded\n path] exits there, Gray Street, I said it comes, turns to\n Gordon Street, there also is a very wooded lot right there\n also, maybe you could say desolate, [the robbery] can happen\n as they exit also.", "\n\nO’Brien also testified that a drug deal could have happened in the\n\nthirty seconds it took the men to walk across the lot. ", " According\n\nto O’Brien, the fact that the three men had crossed the lot and\n\nwere exiting it as a group thirty seconds after entering neither\n\nincreased nor decreased his suspicion about whether criminal\n\nactivity was afoot.", "\n\n As O’Brien was pulling up in the car, from about fifty\n\nfeet away from the men, he observed Padilla reach underneath his\n\njacket and shirt, adjust something in the center of his waistband,\n\nand continue walking. ", " Although O’Brien could not make out the\n\ndimensions of the adjusted object, it appeared to have some weight\n\n 5\n\fto it because of the way it shifted and the way Padilla moved his\n\nhand. ", "From O’Brien’s police experience, he recognized the movement\n\nas consistent with the adjustment of a gun lodged in one’s\n\nwaistband. ", " O’Brien testified that he knew that firearms commonly\n\nare concealed in the waistband and that, when they are, they\n\nrequire readjustment because they shift and become uncomfortable.", "\n\nO’Brien previously had made eight to ten arrests where persons\n\nobserved to make the same gesture turned out to be carrying guns in\n\ntheir waistbands. ", "He also had become accustomed on an almost daily\n\nbasis to seeing his fellow officers make the same movement to\n\nadjust concealed firearms carried by them. ", " Although O’Brien\n\nrealized at the time that Padilla could have been adjusting\n\nsomething other than a firearm, he did not recognize the gesture as\n\nbeing consistent with any innocent explanation.2\n\n Still suspecting that a robbery or drug deal might take\n\nplace, and now believing that one of the two followers might be\n\n\n2\n At the suppression hearing, Det.

", "On cross-\nexamination, the defense inquired whether Padilla might have been\nadjusting a cell phone or keys clipped to his belt. ", "On re-\ndirect, O’Brien testified that he had never seen a person wear a\ncell phone or keys right in the middle of the waistline.", "\nDefense counsel also asked whether Padilla might have been\nadjusting his genitals, but O’Brien (again on redirect) stated\nthat he did not think so because “a person’s genitals are not in\nthe middle of their stomach area.” ", "In O’Brien’s experience, he\nhad only seen illegal items—generally guns but, on one occasion,\nfirecrackers—tucked into the center of the waistband. ", "O’Brien\nalso testified that Padilla’s movement was not consistent with\ntucking in a shirt or pulling up one’s pants.", "\n\n 6\n\farmed, O’Brien pulled the car in front of the three men. ", " He and\n\nhis partner got out without guns drawn and instructed the men to\n\nplace their hands on the vehicle. ", " O’Brien immediately patted down\n\nthe exterior of Padilla’s clothing near his waistline. ", " Feeling a\n\nhard object shaped like a gun, O’Brien reached underneath Padilla’s\n\nclothing, removed a loaded .38 caliber revolver from his waistband,\n\nand placed him under arrest.", "\n\n 2. ", "The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation\n\n The magistrate judge issued a report recommending that\n\nPadilla’s motion to suppress be denied. ", " She found Det. ", "O’Brien’s\n\ntestimony to be wholly credible and concluded that, under the\n\ntotality of the circumstances, he had reasonable suspicion to stop\n\nand frisk Padilla pursuant to Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968).", "\n\n The magistrate concluded that the following facts, taken\n\ntogether, established reasonable suspicion and justified Det.", "\n\nO’Brien in briefly detaining Padilla: (1) the fact that the area\n\nwas a high-crime neighborhood with a high incidence of drug- and\n\ngun-related violence; (2) the fact that the detention occurred\n\nafter dark and that, as O’Brien testified, it was odd for people to\n\ntravel on the isolated, unlit path after dark rather than stay on\n\nthe lighted streets; (3) the suspicious manner in which the\n\ndefendant and his companion had followed the disheveled man onto\n\nthe wooded pathway; and (4) the defendant’s hand gesture, which\n\nO’Brien recognized from his police experience as consistent with\n\n 7\n\fthe adjustment of a gun tucked into one’s waistband. ", " With respect\n\nto the hand gesture, the magistrate judge watched two in-court\n\ndemonstrations and described the gesture as a “distinctive gripping\n\nmotion, as if holding and adjusting (first up and then down)\n\nsomething comparable in size, shape, and heft to a handgun.” ", "United\n\nStates v.

The Trial\n\n Trial began on August 6, 2007 and lasted two days.

", " In response, the\n\nthree men continued to walk straight on Boyd street and entered the\n\nwooded path. ", " The men then saw the police lights of the detectives’\n\ncar as it circled the wooded lot. ", " Knowing that the police were in\n\npursuit, one of the two men with whom Padilla was walking dumped\n\nthe gun along the path. ", " Defense counsel told the jury that the\n\nevidence would show that the police found the gun on the wooded\n\npath and planted it on Padilla, which is why Padilla’s fingerprints\n\nwere not found on the gun.", "\n\n The government’s evidence at trial consisted of the\n\ntestimony of Det.

", "First, Nichols contends that the segregation of income and deductions required by Section 143.451.2(1) as a condition precedent to avoidance of the single factor formula occurs if the taxpayer's method of accounting is more accurate than the single factor formula in apportioning income between the states.

", "There is nothing in this record to indicate that the Director found Nichols' accounting method acceptable for Missouri income tax reporting purposes.", "\nNichols persists, however, hypothesizing two bases for this Court's inferring the requisite approval by the Director. ", "First, Nichols contends that under In re Kansas City Star Co., 346 Mo. 658, 142 S.W.2d 1029 (Mo. banc 1940), this Court has found that a history of consistent accounting by a taxpayer to which the Director fails to object is tantamount to approval of that accounting method. ", "Second, Nichols asserts that its September 20, 1983 letter to the Director constitutes a petition within the meaning of Section 143.461.2 and that the Director's failure to respond to the letter constitutes approval of Nichols' accounting method.", "\nIn Kansas City Star, the taxpayer filed its income tax returns for ten years using an alternative to the statutory accounting method.

", "Young children would be first in line for lungs donated by kids their age. ", "But far fewer of those are available.", "\n\nIn recent years, younger kids have been given greater priority for kidney and liver transplants, Caplan said, and that is in-keeping with the desire of donors that their organs provide as much life as they can. ", "A transplant into an older patient might not provide the same number of “life years,” he said, an important consideration. ", "But whether that’s in order for lungs as well depends on the actual science of transplanting adult lungs into children, not just the instinct to save a child.", "\n\nDoctors can use an adult lung for a child, but they normally only use a piece of the organ.

Taxicab Commission may have passed the once-impossible-seeming hurdle of getting vehicles to install credit card readers, but now it has to deal with some of the quirks of the new systems—including making sure payment service providers actually pay drivers for fares collected on their credit card machines.", "\n\nThe commission passed an emergency rule this week that would penalize payment service providers that fail to pay cab drivers the fares they collected within one business day, with a $1,000 fine for a first offense. ", "Fines would be doubled for the second offense and tripled for each subsequent one.", "\n\nThe commission also said it would review 72 customer complaints lodged against cab drivers who reportedly did not accept credit cards. ", "Four drivers have already been fined, the commission said in a press release Thursday. ", "WAMU reported this week that commission chair Ron Linton said he would also crack down on drivers who use unauthorized credit card readers like Square, which is unable to track trip data or send a 25 cent surcharge to the commission.", "\n\nIn a separate announcement, the commission delayed by a year the date by which old vehicles have to be taken off the road, due to delays related to the adoption of a uniform color scheme.", "\n\nNow, vehicles manufactured in 2004 or earlier must be removed from service before January 1, 2015. ", "By 2018, no cab in service may be older than seven model years.", "\n\nMayor Vince Gray said the city will soon launch an incentive program that would encourage drivers to get their cabs painted sooner than is required by paying for part of their paint job, according to the Washington Post.", "\n\nOnly new cabs and cabs that are getting repainted anyway are required to get the new color scheme. ", "Linton told the Post there are about 1,000 cabs that currently have the new paint scheme, and he hopes half of the city's roughly 6,500 cabs are repainted by next year.", "\n\nThe cab-top lights are a great improvement (so are the credit cards). ", "The red paint is ugly as hell and the dumbest idea- these new cars have fantastic factory paint and to cover it with this cheap red Earl Schreib paint defeats the improvement purpose." ]

[ "As seen on\n\nAn Update to My Crash Forecast: Watch Out for Early 2014\n\nWhen I came out with The Great Depression Ahead in late 2008, I had no idea central banks around the world would pull out all the stops and commit to endless Quantitative Easing (QE) and a money printing policy.", "\n\nOf course, I did expect a strong stimulus program and a rally that could last into early 2010. ", "After all, central banks and governments had to do something.", "\n\nI did NOT expect five years and over $10 trillion in money printing globally.

", "Even more liberal economists would not have expected that back then.", "\n\nSuch central bank activities, taken to such extremes, have never happened before. ", "The only time we saw something remotely close was when the government printed money to keep bond rates down so it could finance World War II.", "\n\nBut central bankers are typically more conservative and responsible than they’ve been in the last five years. ", "Their change in behavior has forced me to continue to update my forecast over the last few years to the upside again.", "\n\nAs long as inflation doesn’t rear its ugly head, most central bankers think it’s okay to endlessly print money. ", "What they don’t realize is their behavior kills the innovative power of free markets. ", "It twists and perverts them, creating more bubbles that will ALWAYS burst.", "\n\nQuantitative Easing and stimulus money in this environment of demographic slowing in spending and excessive debt doesn’t flow directly into lending or expanding productive capacity and jobs. ", "It spills directly into speculation, and suddenly every financial institution and bankster (and their dogs) are blowing up bubbles like there’s no tomorrow.", "\n\nThe commodity bubble first burst in mid-2008 and then started to burst again after April 2011… and the gold bubble started to burst in mid-2013. ", "Stocks are now making new highs in the worst global economy since the 1930s. ", "And real estate has surged higher again after the worst burst since the 1930s.

", "Nothing in my forecast has changed on that front – which means the worst is still ahead!", "\n\nBut I also use two medium-term cycles. ", "The Decennial Cycle (from Ned Davis) typically sees the worst crashes in the first two or three years of each decade. ", "However, I’ve found a flaw in that cycle when it didn’t work well for the first time since the 1960s.", "\n\nNed Davis developed the cycle by averaging stock markets over the last century. ", "It turns out that the actual cause is sunspot cycles that move in 10-year cycles (on average) but that vary between eight and 12 years. ", "NASA and other scientific groups are good at predicting this cycle, and they’ve noticed that the current cycle is irregular. ", "Instead of peaking around late 2009 or early 2010, this cycle is projected to peak in late 2013, and then turn down into around late 2019.", "\n\nThen there’s the four-year Presidential Cycle that points down into 2014 and 2018. ", "Ahead, that warns that those years are likely to be the triggers for the next crashes.", "\n\nIn short, all the major cycles I track point down between very late 2013 and late 2019. ", "They all support my forecast of financial turmoil and crisis ahead. ", "During the next six years, a depression will hit and we’ll see a sharp debt-deleveraging period. ", "And I expect the next major crash to unfold starting in very early 2014.", "\n\nYou see, since the 1950s, only one out of 10 bull markets has lasted longer than five years (late 1987 to early 2000), without a 20% plus correction. ", "The average has been more like 3.7 years and the average correction after has been 36%.

", "I’m talking 65% here!", "\n\nUnless, of course, governments find a way to forever get away with their irresponsible stimulus activities.", "\n\nFat chance! ", "Personally, I don’t think they’ll be able to pull that off.", "\n\nThat’s why I am working feverishly to get my next book, The Demographic Cliff, out by January 2014, when I think the next great crash is likely to begin.", "\nHarry\n\nP.S. As soon as I have confirmation from my publisher that The Demographic Cliff will be available in January, I’ll let you know.", "\n\nHarry studied economics in college in the ’70s, but found it vague and inconclusive. ", "He became so disillusioned by the state of the profession that he turned his back on it. ", "Instead, he threw himself into the burgeoning New Science of Finance, which married economic research and market research and encompassed identifying and studying demographic trends, business cycles, consumers’ purchasing power and many, many other trends that empowered him to forecast economic and market changes." ]

[ "Introduction {#Sec1}\n============\n\nAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that specifically affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord, brain stem and motor cortex. ", "To date, five ALS causative genes have been identified in patients with familial ALS, accounting for 5--10% of all ALS cases. ", "While autosomal dominant mutations in the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (*SOD1*) \\[[@CR20]\\], vesicle-associated protein B (*VAPB*) \\[[@CR17]\\], and dynactin \\[[@CR19]\\] have been shown to cause adult-onset forms of ALS, mutations in senataxin (*SETX*) lead to an early onset of the disease \\[[@CR3]\\]. ", "In contrast, mutations in the gene encoding alsin have been associated with juvenile-onset autosomal recessive ALS \\[[@CR10], [@CR24]\\].", "\n\nIn addition, genetic variants in certain genes may play a role in modifying ALS susceptibility. ", "Certain haplotypes in the vascular endothelial growth factor (*VEGF*) gene have been reported to be a possible risk factor for sporadic ALS \\[[@CR16]\\] in a population based study, whereas a recent meta-analysis has confirmed increased susceptibility for ALS in male carriers of the promoter single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) −2578AA \\[[@CR15]\\]. ", "Subsequently, seven missense variants in angiogenin (*ANG*), another angiogenic factor in the ventral horn motor neurons which is up-regulated by hypoxia, have been suggested to be associated with ALS in Irish/Scottish patients \\[[@CR9]\\]. ", "Other *ANG* missense variants have been identified in ALS patients from North America \\[[@CR23]\\], Italy \\[[@CR4], [@CR7]\\], France \\[[@CR18]\\] and the Netherlands \\[[@CR22]\\]. ", "In addition, recent functional studies have shown that *ANG* missense variants identified in ALS patients lead to reduced angiogenic activity of ANG in endothelial cells \\[[@CR23]\\], and impairment of neurite extension and survival in motor neurons \\[[@CR14], [@CR21]\\].", "\n\nTo investigate the role of *ANG* in ALS patients from Germany, we screened for mutations by sequencing the entire coding region of the *ANG* gene in a large cohort of German ALS patients and controls. ", "We identified two novel heterozygous *ANG* missense variants in two sporadic ALS cases but not in controls. ", "Our findings suggest that missense variants in the *ANG* gene play a role in ALS in the German population.", "\n\nSubjects and methods {#Sec2}\n====================\n\nSubjects {#Sec3}\n--------\n\nInformed consent was obtained from 581 sporadic ALS patients and 616 healthy controls. ", "Of these, 401 patients were referred to the Neurology Department of the University Hospital of Ulm, and 180 patients to the Neurology Department of the University Hospital Grosshadern (Munich). ", "Samples from 365 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were obtained from the adult population-based KORA study \\[[@CR13]\\], whereas those from 251 gender-matched controls older than age 60 were obtained from our local DNA database. ", "The ALS sample consisted of 581 sporadic ALS patients with clinical diagnosis of probable or definite ALS according to the revised El Escorial criteria \\[[@CR1], [@CR2]\\]. ", "The male to female ratio was 1.7. ", "Average age-at-onset was 59 years and average survival time was 51 months. ", "70% of the patients had limb onset, 30% showed bulbar onset.", "\n\nGenetic analysis {#Sec4}\n----------------\n\nGenomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood using standard protocols. ", "The GenBank reference sequence accession number of *ANG* was NM_001145.4. ", "In the cDNA, the A of the ATG translation initiation start site was numbered as nucleotide +1. ", "In accordance with the literature, amino acids from the signal peptide of *ANG* (24 aminoacids) were named in negative numbers whereas those from the processed protein (123 amino acids) were named in positive numbers, the first Gln residue of the entire sequence being numbered as amino acid +1. ", "Primers were designed using the ExonPrimer software (<http://ihg.gsf.de/ihg/ExonPrimer.html>) for the *ANG* coding region. ", "PCR products were sequenced directly using the BigDye Terminator Cycle sequencing kit 3.1 (Applied Biosystems) and were analyzed on an ABI3730 sequencer.

", "However, another study confirmed the occurrence of *ANG* missense variants in an independent ALS cohort of North American descent \\[[@CR23]\\]. ", "Subsequently, novel ALS-associated *ANG* missense variants were reported in one French \\[[@CR18]\\], one Dutch \\[[@CR22]\\] and two different Italian \\[[@CR4], [@CR7]\\] samples. ", "In contrast, two additional Italian groups have failed to identify ANG missense variants in their ALS cohorts \\[[@CR5], [@CR6]\\].

", "Our sample, together with that of Gellera et al. ", "\\[[@CR7]\\], is the second largest sample studied after the one from Greenway et al. ", "\\[[@CR9]\\]. ", "We identified two *ANG* missense variants, F(−13)L and K54E, in two ALS cases (0.3%; 2/581). ", "Both *ANG* missense variants are novel and, to our knowledge, have not been previously documented. ", "The variants F(−13)L and K54E appear to be disease-specific in our population, since both were absent in our 616 controls, as well as in 3107 controls that were sequenced in previous *ANG* mutational screenings \\[[@CR4]--[@CR7], [@CR9], [@CR18], [@CR22], [@CR23]\\]. ", "Our results indicate that the novel *ANG* missense variants F(−13)L and K54E are linked to ALS in the German population.", "\n\nIn the Scottish/Irish population, several *ANG* missense variants have been suggested to segregate with familial and sporadic ALS \\[[@CR9]\\]. ", "However, segregation of *ANG* missense variants has not been fully reproduced in other populations \\[[@CR5], [@CR7], [@CR18], [@CR23]\\] until the recent screening of a Dutch pedigree carrying the K17I missense variant \\[[@CR22]\\]. ", "In our case, the carriers of the ANG missense variants F(−13)L and K54E were apparently 'sporadic' ALS cases without a family history of ALS. ", "Both mutation carriers were male patients with predominant lower motor-neuron deficits and a reduced life expectancy of less than 3 years. ", "The F(−13)L carrier had a late age at onset (71 years), while the K54E carrier showed an early onset of disease (28 years). ", "Interestingly, the K54E carrier showed clear signs of frontal deficit. ", "Nonetheless, because the K54E carrier was deceased, we were unable to further characterize this patient clinically. ", "Previously, a Dutch patient carrying the missense variant K17I presented ALS with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) \\[[@CR22]\\], whereas another Italian SALS patient with a synonymous ca.

", "Although the effects of these missense variants on the ANG protein are difficult to predict, we performed structural modeling of these variants in the 3-D crystal structure of the protein. ", "We speculate that the F(−13)L variant, located in the signal peptide of ANG which is involved in protein trafficking \\[[@CR12]\\], might lead to abnormal protein transport and secretion or toan altered recognition site for the signal peptide peptidase, leading to mislocalization of ANG. ", "In the case of the K54E variant, the replacement of a basic residue by an acidic glutamate disrupts a patch of positively charged protein surface formed by residues Lys50, Arg51 and Lys54 that might be of functional relevance for the interaction of ANG with negatively charged molecules like nucleic acids or other proteins.", "\n\nTo date, a total of 15 different *ANG* missense variants have been exclusively identified in ALS patients but not in controls \\[[@CR4], [@CR7], [@CR9], [@CR18], [@CR22], [@CR23]\\], including the novel *ANG* missense variants F(−13)L and K54E reported in this study. ", "Altogether, these results clearly suggest that missense variants in the *ANG* gene, although rare, are potentially causative of disease as recently suggested in discussions regarding other complex neurodegenerative diseases, including the glucocerebroside gene (*GBA*) in Parkinson's disease (PD) \\[[@CR11]\\]**.**", "\n\nThere is increasing evidence that variants in the *ANG* gene play a role in ALS pathophysiology. ", "Recently, the *ANG* missense variants K17I, S28N and P112L identified in ALS patients from North America have been shown to result in complete ANG loss-of-function by reducing angiogenesis due to defects in ribonuclease activity, nuclear translocation, or a combination of both \\[[@CR23]\\]. ", "In addition, an independent study has shown that human ANG is neuroprotective, whereas the ALS-associated ANG variants Q12L, C39W and K40I, which are located in the catalytic center of the protein, compromise neurite extension, pathfinding and survival of motor-neurons \\[[@CR14], [@CR21]\\]. ", "These findings have been confirmed for K40I in another recent report \\[[@CR14]\\]. ", "Furthermore, ANG is highly expressed in the spinal cord ventral horn motor-neurons during both fetal development and adulthood \\[[@CR21]\\].", "\n\nIn summary, we identified two heterozygous missense variants, F(−13)L and K54E, in the *ANG* gene of two sporadic ALS patients of German descent but not in controls. ", "Our results suggest that the F(−13) and K54E *ANG* missense variants are linked to ALS in the German population and support the hypothesis that angiogenic factors up-regulated by hypoxia are involved in the pathophysiology of ALS.

", "It is therefore likely that abnormal expression of *GCG* may contribute to the development of obesity. ", "For diabetics, the top gene predicted by GenePANDA is *POMC* that encodes a neuropeptide called proopiomelanocortin.

", "The AUC of the precision-recall curve is 0.204. ", "In contrast, replacing the adjust network distance with the raw network distance would lead to an AUC of 0.131 ([Fig. ", "3A](#f3){ref-type=\"fig\"}).

", "The F-max score can be interpreted as a weighted average of the precision and recall, with a higher F-max score indicating a superior overall performance. ", "For example, the disease with the best F-max score (0.833) by GenePANDA using adjusted network distance is iron overload.

", "Though the use of adjusted network distance has improved the prediction performance for most diseases, there are still a few whose F-max scores become worse with the use of adjusted network distance. ", "Considering that in general diseases with higher number of disease genes tend to have better F-max scores, we divide 196 diseases into four categories based on the number of their disease genes (\\< = 10, 11 \\~ 50, 51 \\~ 100, and \\>100 disease genes). ", "In all four categories, we find those diseases with worse F-max scores after the use of adjusted network distance have significantly higher mean raw network distance between their disease genes than those with improved F-max scores ([Fig. ", "3D](#f3){ref-type=\"fig\"}).

", "Although many people do know that chest pain is a presenting symptom of MI, they are uninformed about associated symptoms such as pain in the arm, pain of the lower jaw, shortness of breath, nausea, etc., ", "and are unaware of the fact that it is necessary to seek medical assistance within the first 20--30 minutes. ", "The latter was confirmed by one of the results of our interview study showing that 60% of the patients self-evaluated their hospital admittance as being within an optimal time interval \\[[@B17]\\].", "\n\nSecondly, the Bulgarian population\\'s negative opinion of the health care system combined with the fact that admittance to a hospital has become very complicated in recent years resulted in inhabitants of smaller villages in particular preferring to wait out the symptoms at home or go to their physician in his or her consultation hours, which may be after two or three days.

", "One of the reasons for the limited application of fibrinolytic reperfusion, hospital admission delay, has already been discussed.", "\n\nAnother reason may be associated with hospital funding in Bulgaria. ", "In 2004, the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) reimbursed € 1,175 for \\\"ACS with persistent ST-elevation and fibrinolysis\\\", which includes only Alteplase or Reteplase applications \\[[@B11]\\]. ", "The estimated price at which hospitals may have bought the most commonly marketed drug Alteplase was € 870 for the course of one treatment.

", "Thus, a mere € 705 remains for laboratory and instrumental diagnostics, lytic treatment, other medication, board and lodging. ", "Reteplase, which is more expensive at € 1,023, is rarely used in Bulgaria. ", "As a consequence of deficient financing, physicians face limitations in decision-making and fibrinolysis in ACS with persistent ST-elevation is applied relatively rarely and depends more on the hospital\\'s actual budget situation than on patients\\' medical needs.", "\n\nReperfusion with Streptokinase (SK), which was applied in Bulgaria until 2001 is not reimbursed by the NHIF. ", "Despite the fact that SK-administration could be associated with a rapid rise in neutralizing antibodies, making repeated administration impractical \\[[@B3],[@B23],[@B24]\\], the treatment with SK is associated with a lower risk for non-cerebral and cerebral bleeding complications compared to Alteplase \\[[@B25]\\]. ", "Besides, SK is significantly cheaper \\[[@B3]\\]. ", "In Bulgaria, the price of 1.5 million units of SK (the common fibrinolysis dose) is about € 164.0.", "\n\nAccording to up-to-date evidence, the implementation of pre-hospital intravenous fibrinolytic reperfusion therapy should be considered when the time needed to reach an inpatient health care facility is estimated to exceed 60 minutes \\[[@B26]\\]. ", "Unfortunately, in the region of Stara Zagora, the initiation of treatment under outpatient conditions does not take place for a number of reasons -- lack of thrombolytic drugs, lack of training and poor conditions during transportation.", "\n\nPCI\n---\n\nIn Bulgaria and in the Stara Zagora region in particular, PCI facilities are very limited. ", "Although ischaemic heart disease represents one of the most common reasons for death in Bulgaria, the health care system does not provide the facilities to perform the adequate number of invasive interventions.

", "Considerable investments in equipment, technology and training are necessary in order to meet the population\\'s needs. ", "For this reason, the fibrinolytic reperfusion therapy represents the most common reperfusion strategy for the medical management of STEMI in Bulgaria and in the Stara Zagora region.", "\n\nMortality\n---------\n\nThe mortality rate at Stara Zagora hospitals is similar to the figures of the GRACE trial \\[[@B18]\\], as well as data of other surveys \\[[@B7]\\]. ", "The gender distribution shows female mortality being somewhat higher than male mortality. ", "The common ratio is about 2:1 \\[[@B27]\\], which corresponds to the data of another Bulgarian region \\[[@B12]\\].", "\n\nIn our study, the average age of the deceased women was 72.6 years versus 76.3 for men. ", "Four of the females were admitted within the first two hours after symptoms onset versus one man admitted in the same time interval. ", "Only two women did not need resuscitation and ventilation in the first hours after admission. ", "All of the females had hypertension in the medical history.", "\n\nThese results, as well as the lower use of fibrinolytic therapy among eligible women than men, raise the possibility of gender differences in AMI treatment in Bulgaria. ", "The lack of knowledge or sensitivity towards gender specific symptoms and risk factors related to IHD, especially within the outpatient setting, may be explained by a lack of training of medical personnel in this regard. ", "Our findings regarding gender specific mortality in ACS patients need further investigation.", "\n\nLOS\n---\n\nRegardless of the treatment actually provided, the health care service purchaser NHIF limits the duration of in-hospital treatment in Bulgaria to eight days. ", "The comparison of the LOS in Stara Zagora hospitals with data from other countries, especially from Western and Central Europe shows that patients in Stara Zagora with ACS have shorter median stays. ", "The mean hospital stay with lysis is 13 ± 5 days in the PRAGUE-2 trial \\[[@B28]\\] as opposed to 9 ± 3 days for the Stara Zagora region.", "\n\nGeneralisation of the study results\n-----------------------------------\n\nThe survey we conducted represents the management of AMI for 5% of the Bulgarian population. ", "The results obtained may be representative for most regions, with the exception of the national capital. ", "Currently, the health care system of Bulgaria cannot provide sufficient PCIs, which is the reason why fibrinolytic reperfusion and conservative drug therapy remain the methods of choice for ACS treatment. ", "Internationally, fibrinolytic therapy demonstrated remarkable life-saving effects never observed before and at the same time represented the beginning of \\\"millionaire medicine\\\" \\[[@B26]\\].", "\n\nRegardless of the fact that the resources allocated by the NHIF do not cover the expenses, the fund has selected Alteplase or Reteplase to be the only fibrinolytic drugs in Bulgaria. ", "Other Central European countries, which, like Bulgaria, are reforming their health sector, continue to use Streptokinase routinely, although they obviously have better funding capacity \\[[@B28]\\]. ", "In addition, Streptokinase is still used as the treatment of first choice in low-risk patients in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands \\[[@B26]\\]. ", "Therefore, revising the NHIF disease management program for STEMI and tailoring the reperfusion strategy in a way which acknowledges the financial situation of the Bulgarian health care system should be the first step towards improving AMI treatment performance in Bulgaria. ", "If the NHIF considered the possibility of Streptokinase treatment, a larger number of patients could receive fibrinolytic reperfusion therapy leading to improved outcomes of inpatient management of STEMI.", "\n\nConclusion\n==========\n\nIn spite of the efforts of health care policy-makers to improve the system, the results of the health sector reforms in Bulgaria, particularly within the field of cardiology, still show much room for improvement. ", "Quality of care of patients with AMI in Bulgaria is still far from the evidence-based recommendations. ", "18 years after the breakdown of the former socialist Semashko system, the Bulgarian health care system is still not able to provide state of the art health care to decrease AMI mortality.

", "In Bulgarian hospitals, methodological standards for the contents of inpatient records concerning medical history, smoking habits, body-mass index, and indications for treatment have not been introduced. ", "Thus, we were not able to encompass all important patient characteristics in our study.", "\n\nOf particular concern is the issue of the discharge diagnosis. ", "Despite the fact that the NHIF has implemented diagnostic criteria for AMI (STEMI and NSTEMI) and the medical staff do their best to fulfil them in order to receive the reimbursement fee for patients\\' treatment, there is a tendency of \\\"up-coding\\\" in some cases.", "\n\nThe exact pain-to-door time was only available for 74% of the study population. ", "The relationship between pre-hospital time delay and socio-demographic factors is included in the study, but the item needs further investigation in a larger population.", "\n\nSimilarly, the age and sex differences in treatment at discharge and in mortality need to be investigated in larger populations.", "\n\nNotwithstanding the limitations mentioned above, our work depicts the inpatient care for patients with ACS in a representative region of Bulgaria.

", "In Syndicate you're the villain at the top of the dystopian food chain.", "\n\nWhile most of the games in the genre that followed explored spaces somewhere in between those two extremes, there's been a tendency for them to focus on the high-tech and not the low-life.

", "In Read Only Memories you see two punks named Starfucker and Olli and immediately accuse them of an unrelated act of vandalism and chase them down, after which you're given the option to call the police like some kind of tool of The Man.", "\n\nIf you don’t you get to know them better and learn they’re not bad guys, but then they transition to comedy sidekicks—those two wacky guys!—instead. ", "They feel like a token inclusion, cast aside by the climax, when they deserve to be central.", "\n\nOver time these tropes have been distilled into the core of the genre: all the imagery, with none of the messages.", "\n\nIn the end it turns out Starfucker and Olli are guilty of the vandalism you accuse them of. ", "But still, it's rough to see the characters with mohawks and shades treated so roughly in a game that's all about evoking the classic retro cyberpunk feel. ", "Like so many games Read Only Memories borrows visuals from Akira, but in Akira the biker gang are the heroes.", "\n\nRecycling is an essential part of cyberpunk fiction, its cities full of repurposed junk given new life. ", "The initial wave that followed iconic works like Neuromancer, Blade Runner, and Akira recycled too, using their conceits and visuals in new ways.

", "The Shadowrun series is an unlikely mash-up of fantasy and cyberpunk that exaggerates the cliches of each, where the dragon who demands tribute and the TV personality admired by millions are one and the same, Smaug cast as Max Headroom. ", "Perhaps it's that exaggeration of the basic tropes that makes Shadowrun feel true to cyberpunk fiction, in spite of the elves.", "\n\nShadowrunners are hackers and spies who can be hired online, like Uber but for corporate espionage, and in Dragonfall your band of runners have a secret base under a market in the anarchist free state of Berlin. ", "It's as much about protecting the societal dregs who are your neighbours, drug addicts and shifty coffee dealers, as it is about making money. ", "Also, one of the party members is an actual punk, the former lead singer of a band with the wonderful name MESSERKAMPF!", "\n\nShadowrun: Dragonfall gets the heart of cyberpunk right. ", "Quality punks.", "\n\nCyberpunk-adjacent games like this weirdly seem more likely to feature the most cyberpunk protagonists.

", "The hacker heroes of Watch Dogs 2, Quadrilateral Cowboy, and Else Heart.", "Break() would all feel at home in glowing near-future cities even though their games are set in the modern day, the 1980s, and a fictional town in Sweden respectively.", "\n\nAs in movies like Sneakers, Hackers, and Inception, they're telling cyberpunk stories about how information wants to be free and unchecked power is real bad, just without the chromed-up settings.", "\n\nRight now CD Projekt Red is working on Cyberpunk 2077 , a game that promises to be so chromed-up we'll be able to see our reflections in it. ", "Like Shadowrun it's based on a tabletop RPG, but this time one with a more purist vision—Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk 2020, in which players are cast as anti-corporate Edgerunners and where getting too many implants can cause “cyberpsychosis”.", "\n\nThe trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 features a member of MAX-TAC—cops who hunt those cyberpsychos—arresting and recruiting a cyborg killer. ", "But while the tabletop game has cops among its playable roles, it also features Netrunners, biker Nomads, and Rockerboys and Rockergirls who use the power of music to spread their political messages. ", "It lets players emulate the gang members of Marc Laidlaw's '400 Boys' or the rockstars of Norman Spinrad's Little Heroes as well as Judge Dredd.", "\n\nThere's reason to hope the video game adaptation will follow suit and in doing so, get closer to the under-represented elements of the genre. ", "In a promotional video for Cyberpunk 2077 , Pondsmith—who is working with CD Projekt Red on adapting his game—talks about what he considers to be important in cyberpunk. “", "It's not the technology,” he says, “it's the feel. ", "It's getting that dark, gritty, rain-wet street feeling but at the same time getting that rock & roll, lost, desperate-and-dangerous quality.”", "\n\nPondsmith goes on to quote one of Gibson's famous lines from the short story Burning Chrome: “the street finds its own uses for things.” ", "Cyberpunk isn't just about the alienation that comes with future shock, or the questions about humanity raised by cybernetic enhancement and artificial intelligence. ", "It's also about the way powerless people find strength and solace by repurposing the future for their own ends.", "\n\nGibson wrote that the street finds its own uses for things, not “people who work for security agencies find their own uses for things.”", "\n\nThe streets and their inhabitants are central to cyberpunk. ", "It's the powerless who suffer most in the kind of authoritarian regimes cyberpunk fiction depicts, and games could do with getting back to the idea that the rebels, misfits, vandals, and people who can't afford a plate of spaghetti matter." ]

", "It would not have been a good design for World War One let alone World War Two. ", "The idea that, between all of those shuttered openings, doors, and roof vents it could remain immune against chemical attack or flamethrowers is simply not realistic. ", "The number and position of the firepower are totally unsuitable with no rationale presented as to why it would need the number and type of guns mentioned. ", "The armor, at just ‘bulletproof’, is woefully unsuitable for such a large and inevitably heavy tank and the shape itself would cause problems. ", "It would be far too large to easily transport and with the size of the overhang at the front probably would just become stuck in rough country. ", "The tank then exemplifies many of the problems of amateur design not thinking through the problems and compromises inherent in the design of a vehicle as complicated as a tank and no doubt these obvious limitations were amongst the reasons the design never left the pages filed at the Patent Office.", "\n\nFrank Wrona clearly thought the design had some merit though, as he also submitted it to the Canadians for their consideration and was granted a patent by the Government of Canada in February 1942.

", "this is more like modern day bathrobe . ", "I had miscalculated length of collar and next time when i make it will cut neck depth bit more at front so that overlap collar is up until low waist, rather than just below ribs in this outfit.", "\n\nSleeves were also a rectangle cut on fold with sleevelength as desired and breadth being armhole depth * 2 as sleeves hang extra beyond armhole. ", "This was most tough for me as couldnt figure out armhole vent which was there in pics and finally figured it out. ", "I am still not sure if i did it right and i need to get my hands on Yukata to see if i did manage to sew it right.", "\n\nMade an Obi Belt, which was basically a rectangle to fit her waist and added velcro straps at back. ", "made a huge interfaced bow and attached it to the back of Obi. ", "Making Obi was the easiest part of this entire outfit.", "\n\nWe were supposed to go to Bon Odori - festival on Saturday and since my hubby was unwell and it was raining heavily, we had to cancel it at the last minute. ", "never mind we had a Bon Odori photosession at home! ", "And she had loads of fun and said the outfit was very airy n comfy !!!! ", "I did a cheatseat and added a godget at back for ease of movement and also to make up for my shortage on front overlap added a hidden flap overlap at front underside part. ", "Liberty of sewista ...yay!!", "\n\nBon Odori @ home\n\nBetter view of Sleeves and yes a little bow hairclip made to match :)\n\nShe loved every moment of it and was jumping with joy ! ", "ahoy !", "\n\nNext time when i make yukata i will be more prepared and it will be much closer to original traditional version." ]
