Of the sites that failed the initial certification, 24 (19.8%) passed after replacing parts and/or repairing the equipment. Devices at six (4.8%) other sites passed after new equipment was purchased. One (0.8%) site was unable to certify its DLco device and was disqualified from the study. After correcting device issues or purchasing new equipment, 124 sites (99%) had devices that were measuring the DLco within 3 mL·min -1 ·mmHg -1 of the simulated value.
DLco device performance over time
After the initial certification test, these 124 PFT laboratories tested their equipment using the simulator weekly for 3 months and then bi-weekly for the duration of the trials. When devices were found to be malfunctioning, they were serviced. Data was collected from 9083 DLco simulation tests and for up to 3 years after certification.
After outliers were removed, data for 9025 DLco measurements, 7271 VA measurements, 8810 VI measurements, 7770 expired CO concentration measurements and 8300 expired tracer gas concentration measurements were analysed.
In Figure 2 the percentage of all simulator tests in which a device failed is displayed in 2-month intervals from the date of the initial certification test. After a transient increase from 5.0% in the first interval (0-2 months) to 7.1% in the second interval (2-4 months), the proportion of test failures significantly decreased to 3.1% for all tests conducted between 12 months and up to 36 months from the initial certification test (p<0.001).
To more closely examine how well sites maintained the accuracy of their device, the results of all simulator tests were analysed over time. A regression line relating the absolute difference from the target DLco value for each test and the time since the initial certification test for each site was fit to data from all four tank gas/VI combinations ( fig. 3). At first the average absolute difference from target for all tests was 1.54 ± 0.05 mL·min -1 ·mmHg -1 (Mean ± SE) and decreased significantly by -0.13 mL·min -1 ·mmHg -1 /yr (p=0.0002). A similar analysis was used to examine trends in the accuracy of the measured values for VI, VA, expired CO and tracer gas concentrations. A decrease in the absolute difference between measured and target VA and VI of -13.03 ± 4.61 mL/yr (Mean ± SE), p=0.0047 and -16.14 ± 2.07 mL/yr (Mean ± SE), p<0.0001, respectively was observed (table 1). There was no significant change in the accuracy of measured expired CO concentration or tracer gas concentration.
DLco device accuracy associated with each region, tank gas/VI combination and device type
The results of the simulator testing were also used to examine the effects of variations in several different conditions on the accuracy of DLco devices. For geographical regions, the average absolute differences between measured and target simulator values ranged
DISCUSSION:
A reported high inter-and intra-laboratory variability [7][8][9] has limited the effective use of the DLco measurement in clinical trials. The analysis reported here suggests that in order to collect quality DLco data in | 512 |

The radio started a new song.
She was sure every country song was about driving, always a Chevy or a Ford, always big American-make trucks. She always imagined them a faded blue, and rusting. She mentioned this to him, and he smiled, tapped the dashboard and offered to change the channel. He flicked the dial experimentally, the air now white noise, now a few bars of a top-40 hit, now a few words of an out of context talk radio station, now ads in Spanish, each somehow muted, muffled by the air and the low volume.
She closed her book, stuffed it into the glove compartment, crossed her feet at the ankles. She had done the same thing every day in their cramped little office – crossed her ankles. She would sit in her spot in front of his desk (his desk, their desk, _the_ desk) and cross her ankles, and he would sit behind, giving her any range of expressions as he played their usual game of exchanges. He would let out a little, she would push back, they would dance around the subject until he finally put forth the clinching piece of evidence, or would spill out his theory, always one or two steps more absurd than she could have imagined by herself. He would have raised eyebrows and a smile behind steepled hands, or a pencil twiddled between his fingers, the eraser pressed to his lips like it was keeping in a fun secret, a coy expression and swiveling his chair side to side lazily, or he would be leaning languidly against that desk, waving an arm in gesticulation as he clicked through his carefully-prepared slide shows, catching her eyes while he enthused about the case. The projector would hum and clack with new slides next to her. Dust motes would swirl, candescent, in the light caught between them.
She reached up to the radio and nudged his fingers out of the way, turning the volume all the way down. The only sound was the road under the tires and the rush of the wind. The sky was dark now, and they were lit only by the indirect glow of their headlights on the road. A car would speed down the other side of the road intermittently, and she would see the yellow ghost-light cast him into shifting relief; deep shadows cutting mobile angles into his skin – and then it would be gone.

Everyone is seated on their usual place during movie nights or what used to be their usual place because now, instead of sitting on the sofa, Taehyung sat himself on the floor. His back resting against the sofa.
“Do you want to come cuddle with me and Yoongi-hyung Tae?” Jimin asks. He knows Taehyung likes to cuddle and doesn’t want to sit alone.
He is about to reject the offer and say thank you to Jimin when Hoseok pipes in.
“No way! I’m not gonna let you steal away my Taetae baby from me. This is my chance to watch a movie while cuddling someone and I won’t pass the opportunity. Taetae is mineeeee.” He pulled taehyung towards him and then put his head on the younger’s chest. Taehyung only chuckles and let his Hoseok hyung. Taehyung’s back is still resting on the sofa so his arm is beside Jungkook’s legs now. He expected the maknae to move away but he didn’t move an inch so Taehyung thinks that the maknae haven’t noticed it yet.
“Can’t you stop flirting already so we can start the movie?” Jungkook asks irritably.
Taehyung really finds Jungkook’s behavior very odd. He even saw the maknae poked his cheek with his tongue. He only does that when he’s jealous. As to what he’s jealous of, Taehyung has no idea.

goodreads | always great to have around when you are between other books. Great read!!!!
what can I say I love this series. I Can't wait untill September for the final book. I truly was surprised at the twist. couldn't figure it out but wow never expected that. looking forward to a hea hopefully.
I took pages of notes and find I am craving a discussion regarding the book. Generally, I dislike anthropomorphism, but the structure of this book makes it work. I am actually not even sure if it could be classified in that manner. A real gem that almost defies classification.
If you really want to see my feelings on this book just read my running commentary while I was reading it under my activity. I just could not take the heroine's entitled self-righteous rich attitude of if I can't buy it, why not? If not, I'll just take it, it's my right. Blah blah blah. Don't even get me started on the high heels complaints. I can't believe I actually finished this.
If you loved the first book then you are in for a treat.
If you thought that the Glass House was confusing then this is even more. But in a good way. There is a lot of action and it's all packed together which is really nice. So yeah I really liked the book and the series is looking really promising can't wait to start the next book .
Surely a classic by now. Its fantasy adventure in rural England.
I like the first book better than the second one ^_^
This is a rather unique story. I'm not sure if I should call it a Christian story or just a solid story about life choices and regrets.
I think we all experience a brief period of rebellion in our young age, that concept is somewhat explored in this beautifully crafted short story by author TK Ware. If I Could: A Son's Plea follows teenager David through a struggling period in his life making decisions that ultimately changes his life forever.
I must say, the opening of the story is the best part. We're in the hospital with David seeing his crying family and his sobbing grandmother. We're in his head, hearing his crude thoughts about them, calling his brother a Bible Thumper, complaining about how he had to go to church. But then we see a softer side of this bitter young man, the regret, the remorse, the statement of "If I could go back..."
That's where things take a very serious and a very emotional turn.
David gets mixed up with the wrong crowd--every parent's nightmare whether you're Christian or not. This new friend David makes gets him to agree to rob a store. At first he rejects the offer but he eventually caves in to peer pressure and agrees to do it. So there's a bit of flashback and memory replay in there but it works well and flows smoothly with the rest of the story.

Well, the person I'm talking about is 17, and he's doing as much for himself as he can. If you read the other comments, you'll see it's been discussed that you have to go through a lot of therapy before transitioning as well, so it's not a risk to put someone on hormones if they're certain.

realnews | the conference leaders proved to have a lot more left than the playoff contenders.
“When you haven’t lost to a team in 19 games, you obviously know how to play them,” said Scott Stevens. “The first period they skated fast and played well, but after that they didn’t use as many people and we took the game over.”
Bobby Holik, matched against Petr Nedved to Robbie Ftorek’s hearts content, put the body and stick to Nedved liberally. The veteran Ranger defense, which had been keeping people away from the net, looked dead on its feet.
It looked like a team destined to finish first against one hoping to finish at least eighth, making it easy to forget the previous two contests. Nineteen games (13-0-6) against a divisional rival is an eternity to go without a single victory. And you can’t attribute every result to one team’s physical superiority.
“Sure, it gets mental,” said Martin Brodeur. “On both sides.
“We expect the best of them because we figure these guys are due and we prepare ourselves better than we would probably if the series was even. We kind of expect the worst, so that brings the best out in us to make sure it doesn’t happen.”
It never does, which is head-in-the-oven time for fans of a team just across a river so narrow that Ftorek could span it with a tossed bench. For Ranger diehards, this has become Holik under the fingernails, one drop of Randy McKay on the forehead at a time, with no end apparently in sight.
Tuesday night, after the Rangers tied the score in the third period, Lemieux and Madden both hit posts behind Kirk McLean. An omen? Legend has it when Alexandre Daigle sees his shadow and won’t go near it, winter might be over.
But last night was a decided step back at the Deli Counter from Hell, where Muckler’s number never gets called. His only dressed player last night who had ever beaten New Jersey while wearing a Ranger uniform was Leetch.
Since they won the Cup in 1994, the record is an extended 4-15-6 against the Devils, a long crawl in the desert that was interrupted by the oasis of that five-game Ranger killing of New Jersey in the 1997 playoffs. It was the third Ranger playoff victory over the Devils in the three playoff series they have played, but it continues to seem like it never happened, and will until these teams match up in this year’s playoffs and it happens again.
“Nineteen games, that’s a lot,” said Brodeur. “You should get confidence from that and the other team should get discouraged.
“But for us it will go out the window if we play them. Everyone is going to tell us we never won against these guys in the playoffs and the next thing you know we’re thinking about that.”
The Devils will be pondering one series victory in the last three springs against anybody, not just versus the Rangers. But with all the pressure they will feel in April, the last match-up | 512 |
ao3 | whatever higher power might be listening for a little more recharge. Just a few kliks more before he had to get up and face the night's overcharged and entitled rabble. Surely he was allowed that much.
His alarm chimed to the contrary a minute later, however, and with a sigh he pushed aside the soft mesh sheets. Struts creaked and cable-kinks tugged as he stretched his arms behind him. He frowned as he felt more than a few abused components slip back into place with a _pop_ , a memento from last night's client. Tarnish military elites certainly paid well, but at what cost to his internals?
Well, nothing a few sensornet-dulling pills with his evening cube could not alleviate. He consumed both in short order, discarding the cube in the waste receptacle in the wall. Then it was off to the washrack. Not that he was particularly dirty, far from it. The house matron would have stripped him down to his protoform and mounted him on the walls of the common if he had gone to recharge without cleaning up after a session with a client. Proper hygiene and maintenance was key -- rule number one for any courtesan that did not want to end up a poor house-less streetwalker.
Of course, it was not enough to be merely clean. Every noble and senator that swaggered into the Flare expected its residents to be as shiny and pristine as the day they were forged. Their establishment catered only to the best and brightest of Cybertronian society, after all, and its courtesans had to polish and paint themselves accordingly.
Closing the door behind him, he turned the solvent stream on its hottest setting. A soft moan, in relief this time, escaped him as it worked its way beneath his plating to soothe his aching protoform. He indulged himself and simply stood under the shower for several moments.
He tilted his helm back, the silver and glyph-inscribed collar around his neck ringing slightly with the motion. Only to hiss lightly between clenched dentae as the solvent poured over the bite marks on his neck cabling. Another souvenir from the Tarnish mech. It was a wonder the brute had not punctured an energon line.
"Nope," he grumbled to himself, stepping out of the washrack again. "Never again. Don't care how much they tip afterward..." As if he had any real choice in the matter, in this place.
Quickly toweling himself dry, he took the buffing brushes and bottle of carnauba wax out of the cabinet. He worked the wax into his frame until his plating had a mirror shine, starting at the tips of his pedes and working his way up. Small circles, shallow strokes, just the way that one mech -- Breakdown, was that his name? -- had taught him in his earliest days as a courtesan. A final flourish on his crest, and his polishing was finished.

own.
The difference between the written and the acted tale is illustrated in
the use made of the Christmas story in the play. In the book David tells
John Lenox the story of the Widow Cullom and her dealings with 'Zeke
Swinney, and reveals the truth to her in his office, and the dinner
which follows at his house is prolonged by his inimitable tales. In the
play action takes the place of description. In the first act we see
'Zeke Swinney obtaining blood-money from the widow, and the latter makes
the acquaintance of Mary Blake, newly entered upon her career of
independence as Cordelia Prendergast. In the second act we see the widow
giving the second mortgage to David, and thereby strengthening Mary
Blake's suspicions, and in the third act David pictures his dreary youth
and Billy P.'s act of kindness, and brings the widow to her own, the
climax coming with the toast which opens the dinner and closes the play.
It was a delicate and difficult task for even so distinguished an actor
as Mr. Crane to undertake a part already hedged about by conflicting
theories; but his insight and his devotion to the character have
succeeded in actually placing before us the David Harum created by Mr.
Westcott.
The illustrations of this book, reproduced from stage photographs by
the courtesy of Mr. Charles Frohman, include the best pictures of Mr.
Crane in character, and also stage views of scenes in the second and
third acts, which show the development and culmination of the Widow
Cullom episode. The Christmas Story is now published separately for the
first time in this volume, which unites a permanent literary value with
the peculiar interest of Mr. Crane's interpretations of the famous
character.
* * * * *
After many discouragements, the author of David Harum lived long enough
to know that his book had found appreciation and was to be published,
but he died before it appeared.
Edward Noyes Westcott, the son of Dr. Amos Westcott, a prominent
physician of Syracuse, and at one time mayor of the city, was born
September 27, 1846. Nearly all his life was passed in his native city of
Syracuse. His active career began early at a bank clerk's desk, and he
was afterward teller and cashier, then head of the firm of Westcott &
Abbott, bankers and brokers, and in his later years he acted as the
registrar and financial expert of the Syracuse Water Commission. His
artistic temperament found expression only in music until the last years
of his life. He wrote articles occasionally upon financial subjects, but
it was not until the approach of his last illness that he began David
Harum. No character in this book is taken directly from life. Stories
which his father had told and his own keen observations and lively
imagination furnished his material, but neither David Harum nor any
other character is a copy of any individual. No trace of the author's
illness appears in the book. "I've had the fun of writing | 512 |

Really nice to see Hokkien get some attention :) I think the hokkien varieties spoken in Singapore and other SEA countries each have quite a bit of influence/borrowing from local languages like Malay etc so there is some divergence in each region. Hokkien used to be a lingua franca among the Chinese groups in Singapore before it got replaced with Mandarin(speak mandarin campaign), as the hokkien people make up the largest chinese group. A lot of the younger generations do not speak hokkien anymore though. The lingua franca among the Chinese now is Mandarin and increasingly, English(or rather Singlish?). I'm one of those who grew up with English/Singlish as first language. There's really not many hokkien resources available to learn from... However, a lot of the Chinese vocabulary/grammar in the Singlish creole(eg, kiasu, ang moh) comes from Hokkien and several place names use Hokkien readings(eg, ang mo kio). The videos linked below all have Chinese and English subtitles, if you're interested in watching/listening. Some examples of spoken Hokkien in Singapore can be found in local movies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUn6Zlo3LjU Recently, the first sg hokkien drama in years was made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6oIV_zzAj4 A variety show in hokkien was also made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X6jIBED13o The drama and variety show have a lot of government propaganda as they are aimed at disseminating information to the older generations on government help schemes and programmes. Nevertheless, it's a sign of the Sg government loosening up on the ban of chinese dialects on local tv.

Money transferred to help handicapped
If the doors in your house or condo aren't wide enough for your wheelchair, don't fret.
The city now has money available to help resolve the problem.
The City Commission recently ordered $75,000 transferred from an account used for minor home repairs to the program that helps handicapped homeowners remove barriers, such as doors that aren't wide enough. City Commissioner Kitty Thibault suggested the transfer after finding many disabled people in houses and condominiums who need the help in order to continue living on their own.
The money comes from the federal community development block grant program.
The 10-member Citizens Advisory Committee, which must agree to any changes in how the federal money is used, recommended approval of the transfer.
The commission's action raises the money available for helping the handicapped to $105,000.
It reduces the minor home repair account to $193,000, but an additional $160,000 is available in a state program.

Shares of GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO) have been through the wringer in the last few years, going from hot IPO to dropping over 90% as investors fled the stock. Along the way, the company made some bad product decisions, shed its media plans, laid off workers, and introduced new product lines with a drone and 360 camera.
GoPro's stock doesn't trade too far off its all-time low, indicating that there's still a lot of pessimism built into the stock, which may create a buying opportunity for investors.
GoPro's new strategy in action cameras
One of the things that got GoPro in trouble a few years ago was building too many camera models. In the 2015 holiday season, the company had six cameras, which fostered a lot of confusion for buyers, as well as inventory management problems. Another problem was that it was too difficult to get content from GoPro's cameras to a phone or on to social media, creating a usability gap for consumers.

Myself and a pilot there were discussing Sullenberger's feat when this mong pipes in saying "why is everyone congratulating a pilot for just doing his job?" and goes off on a rant on how "airplanes can land themselves nowadays so it didn't even need him to get down safely".

Food apparently is not the culprit in the illness that spread out of a volleyball tournament at Clarence Central School last weekend, but some prior illness might be.
Jack Schwartz, an epidemiologist with the county Health Department, said Thursday that food has been ruled out as a likely cause for the 24-hour bug that buzzed through the approximately 240 players in a 16-team tournament Saturday because many of those who became ill reported eating nothing but food they had brought themselves.
But a new possibility has risen -- that some players who were already ill had brought the bug to the event. Some of the players were already ill at the tournament, vomiting in the locker rooms.
"Conjecture at this point is more likely something of an airborne source," Schwartz said Thursday. "And we are finding there were people ill as this was going on. Maybe it was just the nervousness of playing in a big event, but there were people vomiting in the locker room."
Schwartz said no solid conclusions would be drawn until interviews had been completed with all the athletes who were at the event.
By Thursday morning, 42 of the 93 who had been interviewed reported they had been ill. Of those, 31 said they had consumed no food or drink at the event other than what they had brought.
Schwartz said the illness appeared to be a 24-hour variety, and most of the students were returning to school by midweek.
Teams playing in the tournament came from Clarence, Orchard Park, St. Francis of Athol Springs, Williamsville South, Frontier, Lancaster, Canisius, Lake Shore, Iroquois, West Seneca West, Amherst, Maryvale, Cheektowaga, Eden, Hamburg and Spencerport, a Rochester-area school.

A jolt went through Eden the first time he touched her still-covered clit, a completely foreign feeling to her. It was all foreign, admittedly; each sensation she experienced with Omega was new to her, and although she was still at odds with herself, she wanted more. She surprised the Quintessence Ghoul by putting her hand over his and guiding it lower. He could feel the heat radiating from her core, and it made his dick throb. “Oh, Eden…” he moaned as he rubbed her through her panties. She tentatively cupped his cheek, guiding his face back to hers for a kiss.
She surprised him again several moments later when she broke the kiss and slid off the bed. He watched with wide eyes and a slack jaw as the nun slowly removed her nightgown, and then her panties. Eden’s first instinct was to cover herself, and she initially made an attempt to cover her breasts with one of her arms. She soon dropped the arm and shyly— but confidently— stood before him. The demure look she gave him was more than he could handle, and it took every ounce of restraint in him to not claim her right there and then.
Omega got on his knees, still on the bed, and removed his shirt, tossing it to the floor. He followed that by pushing his pajama pants off his hips and then down his thighs, and he slipped out of them before they joined his shirt on the floor. Eden’s eyes widened at the sight of his cock; she had never seen one before, and his above-average length and substantial girth were certainly not representative of the greater majority of the male population, although she didn’t know that at the time. She bit her bottom lip, eyeing it curiously, and the Quintessence Ghoul knew exactly what she wanted. “You can touch me, Eden,” he murmured with a soft smile. “It’s more than okay.”
He moved closer to the side of the bed, as did she, and she tentatively reached her hand out. Omega took her hand in his, and he hissed through clenched teeth when he wrapped their hands around his erection. He struggled to keep his composure at her touch; he’d been wanting this so bad for so long, and he never thought it would come to fruition. The Quintessence Ghoul wanted to do so many things with Eden, yet he knew he’d have to continue to be patient and slowly introduce things to her, if he was fortunate enough to experience intimacy with her more than just this one time. He longed to taste her, to bury his face between her legs and drink from her; for her to wrap her lips around his cock and take him in her mouth; to fuck her in a countless number of positions; to do so, _so _many things with the gorgeous creature before him.

2. Sass + Ass = A bad night for Peter
**Summary for the Chapter:**
> Erica tries to figure out what's wrong with Stiles. Meanwhile, Chris decides to revert back to his old ways of handling a sassy Peter. A pissed off Derek ensues.

> Warning for this chapter: Non consensual touching, verbal abuse, and strong language.
Erica pops another tic-tac into her mouth, her dull human teeth grinding on the hard outer shell. She had been walking for nearly twenty minutes now, managing to only trip once over an unsuspecting oak root. Above her, the sky was gradually darkening, the sun barely visible over the horizon.
She exhales loudly, a puff of fog escaping past her plump pink lips. The air around of her was chilly and frigid, even for a werewolf. After walking around for twenty minutes, the teen was beginning to regret not wearing something with a little more warmth to it; her sleeveless floral shirt wasn't helping her not one bit against the freezing temperature.
After ages of walking and avoiding protruding roots and vines, the seventeen year old werewolf spots the faint outline of the Stilinski residence. As she gets closer she notices that the cruiser is gone, meaning the Sheriff was probably out on night duty.
As she makes her way over to the roadside in preparation to cross, she begins to think more in dept of Stilinski's place in the Pack. Stiles is clumsy, annoyingly sarcastic, and he doesn't know when to stop talking. Yet he was bright for his age, that much was true. He did all of the research for them whenever | 512 |

Warren couldn't have felt any luckier that day that they did stop, until they finished working on what they'd planned to. And despite hoping that Juan would forget, he'd known he'd get asked at the end of the day, because Juan had said it on the phone.
"Before we leave, Warren, I want to know what that was all about. Because if its something that's going to affect whether you can get here on time or not, we still have to work scheduling around it."
"Or we can just make it easy and get to things as we get to them and not fucking worry about it," muttered Stephen, reclining his chair back in two legs. Everyone -even Warren and Robbin -had made bets on whether Stephen would one day do it too far back and fall down, and speculated on just how funny it would be.
Bobby rolled his eyes. "And then you'd _never_ get your ass in here."
"Bobby, we're not talking about that right now," Juan snapped. "Quit digging up trouble aside from where we're dealing with it."
"Alright, you three -we're not worrying about that part right now," said Robbin. He turned to Warren and looked him right in the eyes. "Warren, you were late, and that's not normal, but I'm more concerned about how you looked and sounded when you came in here. You're pretty upset by something. You don't have to give all the details if you don't want to, but I think you need to say something about it, because it's really getting to you."
"This is probably going to sound stupid, I guess... and I don't think it'll affect me being on time in the future. At least I'd hope not. Um, I-" Warren dropped his voice to a near whisper, unsure why, but feeling like he had to. "I just had a really bad nightmare, and I know it was only that, but I can't get it out of my head-"
"Oh lordy, I can already tell that's a piece of work," drawled Stephen, rolling his eyes.
Juan smacked his hand down on the table in Stephen's direction and spat out a shush.

He’d always thought that if fate would chance it, he’d be kissing the consulting detective roughly, reflective of the overpowering attraction and feelings that he’d been secretly and guiltily harboring for quite a number of weeks now. John had now found out how utterly different this was. He just wanted to be good and tender and loving.

StackExchange | region $\Omega$ (the unit cube, in your case), let $\Omega_t = \phi_t(\Omega)$ be the region obtained by flowing for time $t$. Then the rate at which the volume of $\Omega_t$ is changing at time $t$ is $\displaystyle\int_{\Omega_t} \text{div}\,\vec v\,dV$. (This is a variant of the divergence theorem, as the flux of $\vec v$ across the boundary of $\Omega_t$ tells you the rate at which the volume of $\Omega_t$ is changing.)
In your first example, $\text{div}\,\vec v = 0$, so the volume remains constant. In your second example, $\text{div}\,\vec v = 1$, so you must solve the ODE $\dfrac{d\,\text{vol}}{dt} = \text{vol}$.
Q:
Using symlink to use new folder in PHP code
In my old server I used to use the /home/domain folder.
In this new server I use /var/www/vhosts/domain
In a very old script which consists of lots of php files, it was used like /home/domain/public_html/...
I wonder if there is a way to use symlink or something similar to use those php files without replacing each line with the new folder name.
A:
First, just wanted to say that hard-coding paths all over your files is not really a good idea. If you need the full path, it is far better to save the document root as a constant and if you ever need to modify it, you only have to change it on one place. Then just make all paths in your script relative to the document root.
If you don't want to do this, you have a few other options. Unfortunately symlinking is probably not one of them because you may run into directory restrictions unless your web server (e.g. Apache) is configured to also serve content from the directory being symlinked to.
Option 1: Find and replace
Use sed to find and replace all occurrences of the old directory with the new one. See: Find and replace with sed in directory and sub directories. Just make sure you do a backup of all your files first since there is no "undo" with sed and you can really mess things up if you do it wrong.
Option 2: Use the same directory as you were before
Edit your site's configuration file (e.g. for Apache on Debian this would be something like /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/example.com.conf) and change the DocumentRoot and <Directory> to the old path. Then actually create it if it doesn't exist and copy your files over.
Option 3: Bind mount (probably not recommended)
Symlinks probably won't work, but something similar to symlinks are bind mounts. This is basically mounting one part of your file system into another part of it. Something about this just screams overkill for what you are trying to do, but I'm posting it here mainly for interest in case you want to fool around with your server.
Edit your server's /etc/fstab and add something like this to the end:
/var/www/vhosts/domain/ /home/domain none rw,bind 0 0
Make sure /home/domain doesn't actually exist yet and then execute mount -a as root, which should create /home/domain for you with the contents of /var/www/vhosts/domain/.

CBT with narrative based therapy is also helpful. You will still did the exposure and response training, but the narrative is sort of how you want that story to play out.

The main reason has to do with stem cells. A stem cell is a cell that divides very quickly and continuously. When a sperm fertilizes and egg it turns into a zygote, which is known as an Omnipotent stem cell (a cell that can turn into ANY human cell). This cell then starts to divide very quickly. If there was nothing controlling it, you would just have an ever expanding mass of these cells growing inside a woman, which is literally, not figuratively, a tumour. However, what happens in the case of the embryo is that through chemical signals, certain cells are directed to form different types of the body. Through this chemical control they lose their Omnipotence and become what's known as Pluripotent stem cells. In the case of the human embryo for example, there is a differentiation into 3 separate layers (germ layers). Each layer is responsible for only forming certain parts of the body, but they can't do all of them. For example the Ectoderm forms the nervous system where as the | 512 |

Q:
How do I spawn the Truffle?
I don't know how to spawn him. How do I do it?
A:
As per the wiki, Truffle requires a vacant house built in an above-ground surface mushroom biome before he will move in. The world also has to be in hardmode (i.e., the Wall of Flesh must be defeated).
A mushroom biome can be artifically created by collecting a bunch of mud and placing it wherever you want the biome to be. Then take some blue mushroom seeds (found in natural mushroom caves underground) and plant them in the mud you just placed. It might take some time, but after a while the mushroom grass will spread to the rest of the mud and the biome will be complete. You can tell when the biome is finished when the screen darkens near the area and the music changes.

not selector in css not working?

:not(div>span)
{
color : #ff0000;
}
I want the spans with span2 and span3 to be red using not selector
Check the Js fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/82KwV/
A:
:not accepts a simple selector as an argument. div > span is not a simple selector, so it cannot be used in that context. As a result, you can't say "I want everything that is not a span with a div parent to be red" in CSS and you have to compromise.
One possibility is to target specific subsets of the general case. For example the subtly different "all spans that do not have a div parent" corresponds to:
:not(div) > span { color: red }
In more complicated scenarios this approach might not be feasible (e.g. you cannot use div, p instead of div above), in which case you would have to turn to other options such as the "do/undo" trick:
span { color: red }
div > span { color: inherit }
This arrangement can easily be expanded to p > span, div > span, but of course there is a tradeoff: these rules might override something else in your stylesheets.

Unbelievable. Bernie just doesn't exist for you people at the Times and the rest of the mainstream capitalist media, does he? Which is another way of saying, his millions of voters, and the working class people he is reaching don't exist. We don't exist.
So, Sanders got MORE votes in both rounds than any other candidate, but that never got mentioned, and if and when all the votes are counted he MIGHT even have the most delegates, which you have all decided is how you will pick the winner this time, since it is currently, given the probably cherry-picked 62% of the votes counted after two days, that would be Buttigieg.
But whatever happens, Buttigieg has been declared the winner by the press and himself, he gets to keep the delegates, but Bernie is not declared a winner, the moment is lost and so is the momentum, and the victim is....Buttigieg !

"What, _this_?” Missy purposefully grinded against him and he hissed, dropping his head into her neck as he canted himself back into her.
"You’re making me lose track," he said, voice muffled by her skin. "It’s not fair."
"Who says you get to make all the rules?"
"Me." He snatched the hem of her skirt and rucked it up enough to reach beneath it. "And I would advise you to follow them, Mistress."
"You’re in for severe disappointment if — " She cut herself off when she gasped at his shoving her knickers aside, his twisting her clit between his fingers. "— if you think for a goddamn second — "
"Ah, shut up," he growled, pushing a finger inside her. "I want you to beg for it this time."
"Go fuck yourself."
"You’ve turned into such a delightful woman, I’ve got to admit."

"I think you should take off that silly mask so I can kiss you properly."
The Doctor raises an eyebrow. “Forward, aren’t you?”
"I didn’t _want_ to come here, you know,” she (he doesn’t know her name yet) pouts, “and I’ve gotten bored. You should kiss me so I’ve made the night a little worthwhile and I can leave.” _
_
"I’ve only known you an hour. And I don’t even actually know you."
"It’s just a little brush of lips, darling. It’s not but a second of your time." She traces a finger along his jawline and it makes him swallow. Something crosses his mind for a split-second, that he doesn’t really care to know who she is.
"You could kiss someone else," he suggests. He doesn’t want her to.
"But that would take too long!" she pouts. "I’d have to go dance with someone who can’t even keep up with me."
"I can keep up with you, then." He notices a curled strand of hair has come loose from the bun atop her head and he tucks it behind her ear.
"And you’d better take that as a compliment."
"Should I?"
"Kiss me," she demands.
"… only for a moment."
She smiles in triumph and throws her arms around his neck, pressing her lips to his.
Or, should he says, crushes. She kisses him as though she wants to drown herself in him, like when he spotted her sipping copious amounts of wine earlier and | 512 |

Karakteristik santri menurut umur berhubungan dengan adanya kelompok umur tertentu yang berisiko terinfeksi kecacingan. Kelompok berisiko tinggi terinfeksi kecacingan cenderung pada kelompok anak usia pra-sekolah, usia sekolah, dan wanita usia subur yang terdiri dari remaja putri. Meskipun kecacingan dapat menginfeksi semua golongan umur, tetapi kelompok umur yang mempunyai risiko tinggi terinfeksi kecacingan dengan infeksi berat dan lebih rentan terjadi efek yang berbahaya pada infeksi kronis (Luong, 2002). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa responden remaja putri termasuk dalam kelompok umur berisiko tinggi.
Karakteristik santri menurut lama tinggal di pondok pesantren menunjukkan bahwa distribusi lama tinggal dari 71 santri berkisar mulai dari 1 hingga 5 tahun. Lama tinggal santri paling banyak 1 tahun dengan persentase 42,3% dan paling sedikit 4 tahun dengan persentase 1,4%. Lama tinggal responden di pondok pesantren dapat mempengaruhi lama paparan kecacingan terhadap responden.

It is proposed that emotional and cognitive functions may be differentiated based on sex. However, it is still unknown whether this assumption could be generalized for all emotional faces and working memory (WM) functions. To examine this, 50 females, and 60 males performed an emotion recognition task, consisting of a series of emotional faces as well as three working memory tasks from Cambridge Neuropsychological test battery (CANTAB); namely, spatial working memory (SWM), stocking of Cambridge (SOC), and intra/extradimensional shifts tasks (IED). The results found that females had faster response times in recognition of both positive and negative faces as compared to males. Furthermore, it was observed that while females were better on SWM task processing, males performed better on IED and four move SOC tasks, illustrating that processing of WM components may differentiate by sex. It has been concluded that emotional and cognitive functions are indeed sensitive to sex differences.

Right now, my basic confusion is that who controls Pakistan, because it's
that faction which does so, with whom establishing talks can be of
importance. And in the absence of that, plus the fact that some elements (or
may be all) of that faction don't want peace in India, it may be better off
for us to think of other possibilities like more CBM's with the masses,
while leaving the polity there to decide the steps they wish to take.

Hi all,
I'm seeing the natural sequencing of email threads getting corrupted. For example, a May 26 thread on subject 'Shaded areas in R' would have been initiated by an email at 6:58am. However I did not get that email until 1:48pm, preceded by 3 replies to the post. Trivial but irritating. The preceding replies suggest this is something going on at my end, perhaps related to network security. I'm curious what might be causing it, and if there is something I can do about it - short of contacting IT staff, which is more irritating than the corrupted threads.

Hi!
I built latest LFS-SVN-20061004 without problems from OpenSUSE
10.2Alpha4 x86 host, the the svn of about one month ago from Gnu/Debian
4.0 Etch (release 3) testing host, however I would like to ask if
someone has used as host Solaris 10 from Sun Microsystems
(http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/index.jsp), OpenSolaris
(http://www.opensolaris.org) or Nexenta OS (http://www.gnusolaris.org)
or if there any advices on using these hosts.
I don't know if it's a lfs or cross-lfs argument exactly so I post to
lfs-support and clfs-support.

Hello all,
Last week I did a full upgrade on one of my machines. Once of the
packages that got upgraded was libwpd-0.8.2-0.1.fc3. I didn't notice at
the time, but during the upgrade apt removed the abiword 2.0 package as
it requires the libwpd-0.7 package. (This is the abiword package that
comes with FC3)
Help?
Anyone remembers what's the command to hold an upgrade of a certain
package under apt?

Hey,
Fisrt of all, you probably forgot about moveout from "old" svn to github. That caused that the second "github" bugtracker was created. The third one (debian) is debian only created by their community, for packaging purposes mostly. Because of that also google code profile exists.
I personally was always against github bugtracker because google's one is better I think, and we already have "history" there.
Community page was more like page with links and informations about cherokee, not the forum.
Also for me mailing list is way better than forum. Easier to communicate, easier to follow. I'm definitely against forum, "for general purposes". Maybe for "starters".
What about G+ commuinity, FB page, Twitter profile? I think I still don't get that "social things" so I can't answer... For me they are useless.
About web page: there is need to move from current web page to github pages (Stefan any progress?). I should have somewhere "static" version of cherokee page, with "working" community sub page. The best | 512 |

The only other words she spoke was “Pull over to the right.” The next 5 hours of search and interrogation led to 3 of us being allowed in Canada and our Designated Driver being held by the mounties until he sobered up enough to drive home or could find a ride. I was sent back to the US for being on Probation and ended up banned from Canada for 10 years. I can guarantee you that this jackass will never forget what nationality he is again! To be honest, we were all so pissed he pulled that shit that we left his ass there and made him call his Parents to come pick him up. If he wasnt going to be punished in Canada, we were more than happy to see him receive some sort of punishment. We are all lucky his bullshit didnt land us all in Canadian jail LOL.
The diamond /u/bhdrtspnr is referring too isn't the two diverging diamonds but the regular one at the very bottom of the map. The mayor problem with the interchange you're referring to isn't the interchange itself, though you could improve it by having more lanes in the part that connects the two highways or by having a more efficient interchange. The problem is that all the traffic that's coming from the top right that wants to go to the right side of your city is going through that interchange, and a significant part of your city is to the right of that vertical highway. My suggestion is to put another exit from the highway further up to the top right and connect it to the right side of your city. This will somewhat diffuse traffic. If you want theo know about different interchanges and efficiency, I like [this comparison video](https://youtu.be/yITr127KZtQ)

goodreads | new series, yet I already knew the MC. Unlike the other two, this was a world that I wanted to live in. It was a much lighter read than the other two and since I literally just finished Rose Under Fire before picking up this one, it was so refreshing.
Part murder mystery, part adventure story, part history, this book holds some lovable characters, as well as some horrible ones. Seeing the relationship between Julie and Jamie is something that I can't even put into words. Siblings rock!
Wein has a knack not only for writing seamlessly about history but also for drawing emotion out of her readers and this was no exception. It is a tale of growing up and moving away and throughout the book I couldn't help picturing myself on my own grandparents' land that I had to say goodbye to over the winter.
Wein has made it to my top 10 list of favorite authors.
I didn't really like the story, but I read it. Maybe because it's kind of every girl's dream to be loved by a man who is charming, good-looking, smart and successful. Romantic, but that's it. No added value. The most dangerous is the moral value of the story. I don't recommend this to be read by young girls with romantic mind and vulnerable personality.
Probably the best Robin Hood retelling I have ever read! The usual characters are there including "Will Scarlet" who is actually a girl! She is an outlaw with a mysterious past that even Robin doesn't know about. Little John - the flirtatous outlaw with a heart, Robin - Lord of the Manor taking care of all his people even as an outlaw.
Excellent story telling - really captured my attention. Good job A.C. Gaughen - please write some more!!
Read this review at Nose in a Book!
I've been reading more and more books written from a male POV, which I like. It seems like books written in a male POV have less emphasis on the romance (minus the Caster Chronicles, of course), which appeals to me a good majority of the time. Unwind is another from a male POV (also written by a man) that's pretty awesome. In fact, Callum reminds me of Connor in more ways than one. They're both headstrong and impulsive, mostly invisible to their peers, and both are running from certain death. I like it.
The concept of a "chime child" isn't new, even if the terminology is, and it reminds me a little of the Midnighters series by Scott Westerfeld. Callum can see ghosts and has premonitions. A black dog and a boy are following him, along with a creature we know of as the Hunter. As if that's not enough, Callum has a boy from school out to get him as well. He's seeing more ghosts, and his premonitions are becoming more and more accurate. He saves a girl, Melissa, from certain ketchup-on-stairs death, and they become friends.
I liked Melissa. She sounds like the kind of girl I wish I knew in high | 512 |

Hi,
I remember we already discussed this topic some time ago, because of the
limitation of the data segment to 224MB. As far as I understand SunOS does
not allow non-zero bits in the most significant four bits of a pointer, and
we could possibly expand the virtual address space for a process to
Gigabytes by using them.
1. Are there any important reasons for keeping SunOS compatibility?
2. Who knows what exactly has to change for extending the virtual address
space?
3. Can it be done for Amiga only or would all m68k ports be affected?
There are users who are willing to test such a modification (e.g. by
compiling pkgsrc, which currently fails because of low memory in some
areas).
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys,
I'm new to iBATIS, so I am probably missing something obvious, but is
there a way to do a merge ie. create a record if one with the primary
key doesn't exist, or insert it if it does? I've used such a function
in other ORM packages, and appreciate the removal of boilerplate. I
can't find it in the docs, but like I said, I'm sure I'm missing
something!
Also, I was looking through the JPetShop example, and noticed an
entire DAO substructure that is never mentioned in the docs. Is there
somewhere I can look up this style of architecture?
Thanks!

Hello,
The next online office hour session of the Wikimedia Language team is
scheduled for Tuesday, June 27th, 2017 at 13:00 UTC. This will be an open
session to talk about Wikimedia Language projects.
This session is going to be an online discussion over Google
Hangouts/Youtube with a simultaneous IRC conversation. Due to the
limitation of Google Hangouts, only a limited number of participation slots
are available. Hence, do please let us know in advance if you would like to
join in the Hangout. The IRC channel will be open for interactions during
the session.
Our last online round-table session was held in March 2017. You can watch
the recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DWXTRl5ZEk
Please read below for the event details, including local time, youtube
session links and do let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you
I talked to upstream.
The support files are downloaded by the client when connecting to the
battle.net server. From those files only ix86v1.mpq contains a dll with
a hashing function, and the rest are icons and texts.
When connecting to battle.net the files are first downloaded and AFTER
that the TOS is shown.
pvpgn also has beta support for Westwood Online, which doesn't require
the support files.
Maybe it would be better to upload pvpgn to contrib, and a pvpgn-support
package in non-free.

Sounds like you did the important stuff: ADRs at 180 days, FPs at 60 days. Do online check-in if you haven't already done so. It is nice to get a text that your room is ready and you can skip the front desk. If you have BOG scheduled for a QS meal time, do the order in advance because using the kiosks in line is a nuisance. Outside of planning what needed to be planned, be flexible. Disney transportation is part of the fun, in my opinion. Try to allow for some resort down time; don't underestimate what an hour at the resort pool can do for tired bodies and frayed patience. Don't overstep the limits of your family or group's ability to be out and about. Limit what are trip-breaker must-do items; you can always come back someday. Change plans if needed. Soak in the magic.

Eooohhhhh sometimes is so hard when you're in that frame of mind to not grab onto any friendly sign to stay afloat. I've been that girl that over shared with people that did not care. Boundaries are hard sometimes. You might sit down with her and explain your position and encourage her to seek professional help. You can't go wrong with truth and caring!
Haven't decided yet but I only have a few months. I don't know if I should join the army or go to university. I love both of them but I'd prefer to be in the military, problem is, once I'd get out finding a job and have a living might be hard while a degree in computer science might get me far. I'd say follow your dreams but in my case I don't know if doing so will cause me trouble. Getting a dream job can be hard though, sometimes you have to stick to what you have.
A simpler font would definitely be a good idea, I agree. The challenge I faced was sizing the letters, while also keeping them aligned vertically. I had one of those "I don't know why this works, but it does moments" because I couldn't find a way to vertically align the letters inside the blocks. I just ended up resizing the letters, and at the size I chose, the letters happened to fit perfectly lol Do you think the right adjustment of the top margin surrounding the paragraphs (the letters) would be the best way to vertically align those elements? Or is there some magic juju I missed... Anyways, thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely look for | 512 |

So long story short, I was building a pc recently using some pretty nice parts for a friend of mine, and for some reason the display would never go through (despite the motherboard etc getting power from the supply). We ended up replacing almost everything and it still didn't work. So, I've been thinking about telling him to get a working pre-built and just replace some of the parts with the nicer ones that we have, any recommendations?

Hello! What we did in our class was sync them together to a central computer so we could give questions and monitor the students' responses in real time. It was a neat idea because we could see how different students were trying to solve a mechanism, etc. It was a bit cumbersome cause we only had 50 iPads for ~150 students, but I think it might work better in a smaller setting.
I find that proportion really uncomfortable. I would recommend 100uq only for first trip, then 150uq next time, and 100uq+ some weed, see how that goes. Half a tab+weed feels to me | 512 |

Q:
.Net 3.5 ORM that supports Medium Trust and POCOs
Scenario: I'm stuck with a shared hosting provider that runs in medium trust and has .Net framework 3.5
I've built a datalayer for my site using Nhibernate, only to discover that it can't run on medium trust.
I found some guides on the internet that explain to download Castle.Core and NHibernate sources and rebuild them allowing partial trust, but I'm runnin in all sort of problems (all sources got updated to .net 4.0, and although I know I can browse git repos for old commits, it seems like finding a needle in a haystack to me).
What I need now is an ORM that supports medium trust AND POCOs (so EF 1.0 and Linq to Sql are ruled out, as they are tightly coupled to their T4 generated classes).
I also got a "NO" from higher places about using Lightspeed ORM because it's limited to 8 tables for the free version and the schema might grow.
I know I am asking a lot, but if anyone knows an already built release of Nhibernate for 3.5 that can run in medium trust, or a valid alternative, I'd be more than happy.
Thanks.
A:
I am currently running a project with NHibernate 3.0 in a medium trust environment. I had to download the castle source and set AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers and then recompiled.
Everything then works perfectly. I am in the process of testing with 3.2 at the moment and will let you know the outcomes later this week.
I can ping you the modified DLL's if you like but please send me a dm on twitter. Use my SO name with the @ symbol.
I have also answered this before
One other point, I would ask your hosting company to send you their modified medium trust policy file and then in your web config you reference it like:-
<securityPolicy>
<trustLevel name="Custom" policyFile="policy.config"/>
</securityPolicy>
This way you can test locally.
Q:
Autoresize the image using imageicon on jlabel
I need to fit the image on jlabel, my images are stored in MySql table and I getting those using following code -
byte[] imagedata=rs.getBytes(6); // rs is ResultSet of table
format=new ImageIcon(imagedata);
jLabel15.setIcon(format);
How can I resize the "format" which I want to display on jLabel15.
Edited: Image column in table is bigblob data type
A:
you can scale your image the following way,
Image img = format.getImage().getScaledInstance(50, 50, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
jLabel15.setIcon(new ImageIcon(img));
I have scalled the image to 50X50 you can scale it to your desired size

I was looking for something simple, yet trendy. This has a little retro feel to it and the wine red color is a nice dark red. It is very good quality - rolls well and the seat works fine. Assembles in a matter of minutes. Yes the seat is plastic (and very sturdy), but I don't know how else they would get the great variety of colors they offer. I'm tempted to get another one in a different color, but have to find a place for it first! I love it and the price is fantastic.

Hekate is has emerged as one of the most popular Goddess figures in the New Age Revival. I was drawn to her mystery, her darkness and her wisdom, but I was lacking in actual knowledge of her background and origins. I applaud Sorita d'Este and David Rankine for their thorough research into the history of this fascinating Goddess. Quoting and drawing from The Chaldean Oracles and other ancient writings, Sorita really helps form a more complete picture of Hekate rather than just "The Dark Goddess". I personally found myself having a better understanding of Hekate's wisdom, power, and even sense of humor.
A wonderful read that is well written and organized. Definitely a must read for anyone who works with The Lady of Crossroads, or even just has a historical interest in Her.

All these numbers can be used to describe c if everything else is done accordingly, so that makes the number itself worth nothing, a matter of convention.

We all know dabi has flame quirk, blue one at that. While many believe dabi is shoto todoroki's brother, I think there might be more to it than what we see. We know dabi shoots blue flames and has a explosive effect to that. While we know that blue means extremely hot flames , it also means complete combustion. The cracker effect can be attributed to burning of something inside his body along with a material that is pretty common in nature, glycerin. Yes glycerin on reaction with compounds in body can form blue flames with cracking effect. There is one person in series that we know has glycerin based quirk, Yes Mitsuki Bakugo. It can also explain why Dabis body is burnt like that, His quirk without control is literally like crackers inside his body. He might have had seen endeavour in his childhood and attempted to use the quirk like him i.e as his beard and eyelashes without realizing the true nature of his quirk, causing those burns. 20 words or less, Dabi is Enjis and Mitsuki's illicit son whom mitsuki abandoned since she found katsuki's father Edit :- It's now in hot section.

How to create a suitable filtered .osm for osm2po using OpenStreetMap Overpass API?
I successfully created a (.osm) set suitable for routing in a desktop GIS over a large custom area thus keeping only primary network (way object) using the Overpass API (see below).
I'm trying this approach because my study area is crossing national and local borders, so other approach to parse a full planet file might take a lot of resources... which I don't have...
However the resulting OSM XML was rejected by osm2po because the file tr_raw.2po is missing after the first reading phase (see log below).
Is there a way to produce through Overpass API a suitable file (but not too heavy!) to use along with osm2po?
Or can we modify osm2po behavior to work without relations so no error is thrown?
Thanks and sorry for my poor English ;)
Here is the overpass request:
<osm-script>
<query type="way">
<has-kv k="highway" regv="junction|motorway|motorway_junction|motorway_link|primary|primary_link|secondary|secondary_link|tertiary|tertiary_link|trunk|trunk_link"/>

goodreads | rate (his seventh album was released just four years after his first) he took care over his songs, carefully crafting them. He agonised over the track listing of 'Freewheelin'' until the last minute. Mr. Tambourine Man sat around for over a year before Dylan recorded and released it. When Like a Rolling Stone didn't work as a waltz Dylan rewrote it in 4/4 time.
If it wasn't a secret code and it wasn't nonsense what was it? We know that around 1962 or 1963 a girlfriend introduced him to nineteenth century French poetry. He later went on to name check two of the poets, Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, in song.
Verlaine and Rimbaud were part of the symbolist movement. In the same way that Dylan moved away from his lyrical directness the symbolists had sought to move away from the then dominant trends of realism and naturalism in the arts. These movements, the symbolists believed, had restricted communication by tying words to their literal meanings. Words and images had a value beyond the merely descriptive and, when placed in new often unfamiliar contexts, could communicate deeper meanings. As the critic Jean Moreas put it in the 'Symbolist Manifesto' in 1886
"In this art, scenes from nature, human activities, and all other real world phenomena will not be described for their own sake; here, they are perceptible surfaces created to represent their esoteric affinities with the primordial Ideals"
Given this it is possible to see Dylan's songs from that period as works of symbolism. He was using words as the symbolists had; as tools to directly generate an emotional response, in some ways the songs were a prolonged attempt at Synaesthesia. Take the following from Desolation Row as an example
Einstein disguised as Robin Hood with his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago with his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful as he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes and reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him but he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin on Desolation Row
Dylan isn't challenging the listener to identify who Einstein disguised as Robin Hood really is and neither is he engaging in stream of consciousness doggerel. The effect is too powerful for that, too deliberate. The effect is sadness. Stripped of the famous scientists, monks, and drainpipes, this is simply a powerful image of a man past his prime, an image of decay. Don't try and decode who he is, he could be anyone.
For another example take a line from Visions of Johanna; "The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face". Literally that doesn't mean anything but the feeling it conjures up in the listener is crystal clear. It's that sensation that shoots up your spine as you look at a lovers face and lose yourself in every detail, trying to find the particular magic, the ghost of electricity, that draws you to them.

Those laws remain on the books in dozens of states, and until the laws are repealed, will forever be part of ALEC’s legacy.”
In 2011, when the meeting described in the federal trial occurred, ALEC was still pushing its “model legislation” to rewrite voting laws, including its “Voter ID Act.” And Vukmir (who has served on ALEC’s national board of directors) was described by Allbaugh as one of the two senators who were especially gleeful about Wisconsin’s voter-ID law.
Abstract
The periprocedural management of patients receiving long-term oral anticoagulant therapy remains a common but difficult clinical problem, with a lack of high-quality evidence to inform best practices. It is a patient's thromboembolic risk that drives the need for an aggressive periprocedural strategy, including the use of heparin bridging therapy, to minimize time off anticoagulant therapy, while the procedural bleed risk determines how and when postprocedural anticoagulant therapy should be resumed. Warfarin should be continued in patients undergoing selected minor procedures, whereas in major procedures that necessitate warfarin interruption, heparin bridging therapy should be considered in patients at high thromboembolic risk and in a minority of patients at moderate risk. Periprocedural data with the novel oral anticoagulants, such as dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban, are emerging, but their relatively short half-life, rapid onset of action, and predictable pharmacokinetics should simplify periprocedural use. This review aims to provide a practical, clinician-focused approach to periprocedural anticoagulant management.
Introduction
The periprocedural management of patients who are receiving long-term oral anticoagulant therapy, usually with a vitamin K antagonist (VKA), such as warfarin, is a common but complex clinical problem, affecting an estimated 250 000 patients per year in North America alone or approximately 1 in 10 patients on chronic VKA.1 It is well established that continuing oral anticoagulation is associated with an increased risk of bleeding in the periprocedural period and that the absence of anticoagulant therapy postoperatively confers a marked increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE), especially after major surgery.2,3 Emerging data suggest that interruption of warfarin in patients with arterial indications, especially in the immediate postoperative period, confers a higher risk of arterial thromboembolism (ATE) than predicted by mathematical modeling assumptions.4,5 The accumulating clinical data relating to periprocedural antithrombotic therapy has necessitated the development of new chapters and recommendations in clinical practice guidelines that are dedicated to periprocedural antithrombotic management.1,6,7
It has been suggested that the use of periprocedural bridging anticoagulation with parenteral heparin, either unfractionated heparin (UFH), or low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), would mitigate the risk of periprocedural thromboembolism by allowing for continued anticoagulation during temporary discontinuation of VKAs for an elective procedure or surgery.8 Since 2003, there have been multiple observational cohort studies of heparin bridging therapy with well-described periprocedural bridging protocols and well-defined and objectively verified outcomes.9 However, the quality of evidence | 512 |

During cross-examination by counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Godwin Obla (SAN), Omatseye said all contracts awarded under his tenure followed due process.
Some of the contracts were for office equipment such as generating sets, computers, printers, BlackBerry smartphones, among others.
Omatseye said between September 2009 and April 2010, there was no Tenders Board at NIMASA.
He said he was unaware of the need for a Tenders Board because the law was not brought to the agency’s attention.
“The Procurement Act was not known to the agency. That’s why everything was going through the governing board in line with the NIMASA Act,” Omatseye said.
According to him, all the contracts were advertised. “When I was the Director-General, and coming from private sector, I ensured that extant guidelines were followed. We ensure that everything was advertised.”
When Obla confronted Omatseye with the fact that a particular contract was awarded for N129million to a company that bidded N100million, when another company had bidded N84million, the defendant said he later cancelled the contract.
Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia adjourned to December 8 for continuation of trial.
With the Guardian’s unstoppable rise to global dominance (NOTE: actual dominance may not be global.

The Copa América is … the international soccer competition to determine the continental champions of South America. It started life in 1910 as the one-off Copa Centenario Revolución de Mayo, turned into the Campeonato Sudamericano de Football (the South American Championship) in 1916, then finally in 1975 became the tournament we know and love today as the Copa América.
Who plays in this textbook example of brand consistency? All 10 member states of Conmebol, the South American governing body and Copa organisers: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. (This hasn’t always been the case, though; the 1975 tournament was the first one everyone turned up for, politics and fits of pique playing their part.) Conmebol also regularly invites a couple of teams from other federations, on account of the tournament’s 12-team format: Mexico, Costa Rica, the USA, Honduras, Jamaica and Japan have all at some point come along for the ride. (Mexico have twice made the final; the minnows of Honduras, rather deliciously, grabbed third spot in 2001 ahead of Copa specialists Uruguay.)
A bit of an organisational hodge-podge, all told. Yes. Then again, the South Americans did get the whole thing up and running a full half century before Europe managed to launch the European Championships in 1960. So it’s swings and roundabouts.

You're destroying your tolerance and it feels so much better to reward yourself after a long week I understand if people use it medicinally and smoke often to medicate, but otherwise it doesn't make sense to me :/ but i guess it doesn't matter, it won't kill ya at the end of the day
So? I honestly dont understand the point you're making here. Plenty of people who fit into the standard definition of male or female biological sex are sterile, and in fact not all biologically intersex people are. Clearly our understanding of sex is not limited to reproductive viability - or all women over 50 would be considered another gender. > they are not part of the intended pattern of sexual reproduction as viewed in a purely biological sense. My answer to this would be 1) intended by whom? and 2) so?
Hell you don't even have to use that justification! Even I as a girl love to "manspread" from time to time, because that position is fucking comfortable for some reason. Nobody gave a shit so far when I do it, so why shame men for just sitting in that way?
You're doing around a 6 now. Not a bad one either, you look particularly friendly and really young. The wrench in the mix that is likely to happen between now and a year or so of weight loss is that your hair is probably going to recede a lot more, and you well think of going short/shaving in the future. On the other hand, I can't imagine either option looking too bad on you. Work on grooming the beard, since that will become an asset, and will probably fill out a lot more. This isn't to scare you either, I'd imagine the fit, bald, bearded version of you being at least an 8.
I'm not sure if you are discrediting evolutionary fitness or not based on Pwag's comment. I'm not sure what this-username or pkanmag points were though either. Just to say (which I think is reaffirming your point) that the walmart and overweight diabetics thing does not contradict evolutionary theory or make it a work in progress (it is to the degree that better ways of understanding it can be discovered, but these two things are already accounted for and can be explained... again, what I think you are saying, just posting in case it wasn't).

Thanks for the replies, but you are trivializing the 10 trillion dollar debt when you say it's not detrimental. Debt is essentially loans that the country takes from a variety of sources. The country WILL pay off those loans with interest unless Trump does something astounding and reneges on the debt for the first time in US history. That repayment comes out of the wallets of the citizens. Every citizen will lose over $60,000 on average. That number *includes* little kids and old retired grandpas. It's over $160,000 per taxpayer. [Source](http://www.usdebtclock.org/). The interest payment as you have provided is over 400 billion. The debt is a little higher than how much the country earns in a year. That doesn't sound like much when you say it's just over 1 year, but it's not like the country can drop everything it's doing, stop paying for food, housing, utilities, our children, etc, everything else and work towards paying off that debt. If the country could contribute even 5% of its gdp each year towards paying that off which is probably already a large stretch over what we're capable of then it'd still take over 20 years... sorry except then we'd still have over 5 trillion of accrued interest to pay off. Not in the clear yet. 5% of gdp is more than we even spend on the military every year mind you. The country is not using that money to earn even more as you suggest. The small growth we've had (which includes natural growth) does not reflect that, it reflects the opposite. It's a political act out of complete uncaring for the future when you're long gone to temporarily promp up the present during your terms and hide the economic disaster of your policies. Spending 8 years to fail to fully recover from a recession while going into more debt than the last 250 years of the country's history combined is absolutely atrocious. This recovery we've had that isn't even a full one (both gdp growth rate and median income have yet to completely recover as mentioned previously) is entirely a falsehood. To answer your question, the alternative would be to not decimate the economy by spending ten trillion dollars, bailing out banks, manipulating interest rates, and destroying millions of jobs via regulation and socialist policies. Not even fully recovered from the last recession and we're already in a huge bubble. I can't surmise exactly how much better off we'd be if that didn't happen and tell you we'd be at 30 trillion gdp or something if that's what you're asking, but I can for sure say | 512 |

Q:
Why do registers get overwritten upon overflow?
I know that upon a overflow, the stack gets partially overwritten, but I do not understand why registers such as EIP or RIP get changed in this process.
How come some registers are modified by such an attack?
A:
Buffer overflows do not directly modify registers; rather, they are used to overwrite the function return address (the first element in the function's stack frame, 4(%ebp) in x86) and place custom code on the stack which will be executed when the overwritten return address is loaded into EIP/RIP.
In x86 machines, the operations performed by call and ret are of particular interest:
call:
When executing a near call, the processor pushes the value of the EIP register (which contains the offset of the instruction following the CALL instruction) onto the stack (for use later as a return-instruction pointer). The processor then branches to the address in the current code segment specified with the target operand.
ret:
Transfers program control to a return address located on the top of the stack. The address is usually placed on the stack by a CALL instruction, and the return is made to the instruction that follows the CALL instruction.
Taking control of EIP/RIP is accomplished by overwriting the return address call pushed onto the runtime stack with an address that points to the location in memory of code crafted by the attacker. When the ret instruction writes this memory address to EIP/RIP, execution jumps to that address.
You can see this for yourself by stepping through program instructions using a debugger.

"You'll be okay..." I lied, gripping his hand tightly. His breaths grew short and punctuated and I knew we were nearing the end. I held back tears as his eyes focused on some far away light, a voice calling from the clearing beyond the veil. He drew one last breath and as he slipped from the world, one last message escaped his now pale lips- "Happy holidays..."

Later on in the game she could burst one target completely to 0 instantaneously - being only able to burst one target was her only downfall.

So this sounds like a blade grinder (not ideal, a burr grinder is heavily prefered - you can search more about this on /r/Coffee the Hario and Porlex hand grinders are highly recommended as intro grinders). Shaking is a good idea because it will likely get the beans evenly disbursed again. One thing you want to avoid is grinding for too long at a time, which creates heat and starts cooking the beans and they start releasing flavors before they get in the water! Try a pulse method. I have read that this improves consistency as well.

You were attempting to build 0.10.0, but the most recent version in the

I don't know for sure if that particular test has stabilized in 0.10.3, but

The American Turkish Council-US Association helps create new world order
02/16/2005 15:14
Operating tax-free and out of the media or watchdog spotlight is the most powerful "non-profit" association in the United States, the American Turkish Council (ATC- americanturkishcouncil.org).
Like the thousands of Associations operating inside the Washington, DC Beltway, the ATC is chartered to provide "legal and ethical" venues for American-Turkish government and business interests to meet face-to-face to improve business, security and cultural relations between the two countries. The ATC, and other Associations, has a dues structure and committee structure that includes a government relations or "educational" committee that lobbies the public and US government representatives on behalf of its members. But that"s where the similarity ends.
While the ATC is an Association in name and in charter, the reality is that it and other affiliated Associations are the US government. Theirs is the voice that matters and is the one that is heard on television and radio networks through the mouths of news-readers, senators, congressmen, presidents and military leaders. It is in and through such Associations that US political, economic and military policy is made and the American public subsequently "educated" to support policies that are not, and could not, be debated in public because of their illegality, audacity, complexity and, arguably, necessity. Instead, the creation of policy and action--or even reaction to events-is hammered out in corporate board rooms, foreign governments, research institutes, and think tanks. It all comes together in Associations like the ATC. If you want to know what"s really going on or about
to come down, take a visit via the Net to the world of Associations.

A mouth and a Twitter account.
The CSEC rules permit the agency to intercept private communications for any reason whatsoever, as long as the information obtained can offer some hope of providing 'foreign intelligence.' There is no requirement that the interception be based in a security concern, or a criminal matter, nor any other similarly grave issue. Worse yet, the law places no restriction on the breadth or depth of the interception. For example, should the Government of Canada hope to find some relevant information about a trade deal with a foreign country, under the current rules CSEC could intercept every phone call, email, internet comment, Facebook photograph or Twitter post from that point on. The government is not limited by legislation to looking for anything specific- it has carte blanche to sweep up the entire galaxy of communications data, along with anything that you might have sent. Your private communication is then ANALYZED for its relevance to what the government is looking for. At that point, under no reasoned argument could your private communication be described as private any longer. All that the government provides in exchange for violating the privacy of your communication is a very vague promise: that unstated, unregulated measures are taken to protect your privacy. I believe that parsing the specifics about metadata misses the forest for the trees.

blogcorpus | Wendy is gonna try baking a cake today! HaHa! We brought Chocolate Milk, margarine, flour and cake mix. After buying all that, they decided to shop at Metro. HaHa! At Metro, I saw a halte! It's almost the same one as what Paige wore last time. Oh god! It looked so damn beautiful! It's black and nice! I tried to make one of them try on the dress, but nobody wanted. Amanda said she's bet with me 'Sicssors-Paper-Stone', if she lose, she would try on the halter. And she lost!! HaHa! And it turned out it looked very nice on manda. Seriously. She have the figure to pull it off lor. They said I am pervertic...but hey! I only wanted to see how people looked in it! After that, they went to choose clothes for moi. HaHa! Wendy even picked the wrong clothes....a female one. So paiseh! Well, the clothes were too big, but they said it kinda looked good on me. Hmm. At 2, Wendy and I went back to her house to bake cake. A very large problem oppped out. The microwave spoilt. The 'Start' button is spoilt. Sigh!! We churned out many ideas, but none of them worked. Wendy's mother finally said she will call the neighbours for us. In the end, she found a neighbour on the 12th floor who was willing to help out. We started to make the mix and everything. We can't make it even, we don't have the electric mixer. But we made do with it la. After doing the mix and everything, Wendy went to fry luncheon meat. I slept in Wendy's room. Then, after frying luncheon, she called me up to fry eggs. She finally learnt how to crack eggs and open them. Good for her! We then continued to fry eggs. It turned out nice, yeah! Wendy offered to make instant noodles for me and told em to go sleep again. Actually hor, I felt guilty. I sleep in her bed while she do all the washing and cooking. She said she don't mind..I was sick after all. After the mee is cooked and all, we ate and watched Sabrina at the same time. Star World was showing Sabrina Season 1. YaY! The mee taste good, and also the ham and egg. Then, after eating, we watched a bit of Final Fantasy movie. We have to switch it off, because we forgot to buy pork. We delievered the cake mix to Auntie Linda's house for her to bake. We went down to NTUC buy pork. I can't stand the air-con there. Sigh! And my legs felt weak. I can't stand up for long. We got home quickly and watched the movie. It was very nice and exciting. But, again, we have to stop it halfway to get our baked cake. I hope we can see finish seeing it some other day. The cake cracked in the middle, but it smells heavenly. We brought it back to Wendy's house. I tried some parts of the cake. The flavour is nice, tasty, but | 512 |
s2orc | corpora and an innovative look at the categories mentioned above. In what follows, we will briefly describe some of the findings obtained by the QSA studies and interpret these in the light of a usagebased perspective, before summarizing our own studies. Throughout, issues will be highlighted for which the two approaches are both insightful and provide overlapping or complementary perspectives, and these will be further discussed in the final section.
Quantitative Structural Analysis
A prominent example of a study in the tradition identified above as Quantitative Structural Analysis is Montanari et al. (2019). Data were collected in monolingual contexts from 26 Spanish-English bilingual children in the US at ages 3;6 and 4;5. The authors established the frequency of CM in the children's output, checked how this CM behavior correlated with proficiency measures, and examined whether the participants clustered around certain prototypes, defined in terms of profiles combining proficiency profiles and preferred types of mixing. Proficiency was measured in two ways, corresponding to syntactic and lexical proficiency. MLU, claimed by Bedore et al. (2010) to be the best measurement, and a lexical diversity score were used as measurements of these two subtypes of language skill. Mixing type was predominantly an issue of directionality: switching to Spanish or to English. Results are presented in terms of CM rates in both directions and at both ages. Confirming what seems to be a general trend (see Gutiérrez-Clellen et al. 2009;Paradis and Nicoladis 2007), CM rates are fairly low (at 10-16%, but recall that the data are recorded in sessions that are supposed to be monolingual). Mixing rates are the same in both languages at 3;6, but differ at 4;5: basically, CM disappears in the English output but remains in the Spanish output. Interestingly, at 3;6 CM seems related to low lexical proficiency, as children who had lower proficiency in Language X produced more CM from Language X, but at 4;5 CM rates seemed not related to proficiency measures anymore. The authors conclude that at this point the children have started acquiring sociolinguistic community norms: community Spanish includes CM to English, while community English is monolingual. This is supported by a convergent trend among the children: at 4;5 no clusters of different types of speakers were found while there were three clear clusters at 3;6: (1) low proficiency scores in both languages but dominant in Spanish and producing CM to Spanish (at 4;5, even while dominant in Spanish, they still produce little CM to Spanish when speaking English); (2) high proficiency scores in both languages and producing little CM; and (3) dominant in English and CM mostly to English. A final result worth mentioning is that mixing at 3;6 mostly concerned 'whole utterances'. We will discuss the implications of this finding later.
A second relevant example is Smolak et al. (2020), which compares similar data in two bilingual settings: 29 child participants are Spanish-English bilinguals from San Diego, CA and 24 French-English bilinguals from Montreal. The age range is 2;7-3;3, the data are longitudinal, and the recordings are again conducted in monolingual sessions. The analysis of CS | 512 |

The party that Natasha entered was extravagant. The room’s centrepiece was two ice sculptured ballerina’s that were mounted on a stand in the middle of the fountain. A string quartet group was providing the background music, and everyone was talking away; giving the room an animated buzz to it. Natasha easily spotted her target, his profile has stated that he was an extrovert with a special need of being the centre of attention, and that’s exactly where she found him. He was standing close to the fountain with a fairly large group of people surrounding him, each was holding a champagne glass, and all listening with fake enthusiasm to whatever he was telling them.
Natasha took a deep breath and sighed before she made her way over to the group - she made sure to grab a glass of champagne on the way over. She slipped into the group with easy and managed to get herself as close to him as possible. She laughed and smiled at all the right moments and waited for D’Clair to excuse himself before following him. Natasha followed him as he went to the bar to get himself another drink.
Natasha walked up behind him, leaning in close, whispered, “James sends his congratulations. He sends me for your evening’s entertainment.”
D’Clair slowly turned his head to look at her, he gave her a once over before smirking. He got up without a word and started to walk away from the bar. Natasha followed, knowing that her chance would be appearing very soon. Though there was a slight sense of unfamiliarity to everything because Clint didn’t have her back during this mission. Sure she’d been flying solo before SHIELD and even did solo missions before, but there was something about having the archer watch over her that kept her relaxed and focused on the mission.
Natasha followed D’Clair out of the party and onto the streets. They’d come alive with people going to and from night clubs, or people hooking up. He called them a taxi, and turned and asked her:
“Where’s your place, sugar?”
Natasha smiled sweetly at him, and told the taxi driver the address. She knew that he must be a regular with James, because he knew the standard practise that the company had: always get a taxi to the destination, and always make that destination the girl’s home. Natasha led him out of the taxi, and as she walked back to the room she added just enough swag to keep him interested. Her hips swayed heavily from side to side as she walked, her posture was straight and her mind seemed clear, even her stiletto heels seemed confident in their stride. She would occasionally turn around, and every time she would see his eyes filled with lust. For her, this was perfect because she had him right where she wanted him. Focused only on one thing, and he wouldn’t even noticed when she pulled out the dagger to kill him.

ao3 | long silence where Bifur shifted in front of me and I couldn't see a thing, once more. I looked around at the other doors around us. How much room did they have under the small hills? They couldn't possibly have much room for large families. I thought of how we would all fit inside one of these...it just wasn't a pretty picture, unless they have a wonderful ventilation system. I thought of the dirty men who had been traveling for days (for all I knew, it had been _weeks_!) and the lack of bathing and their dirty feet and if I was smelling this bad after only a few days of traveling, I shuddered to think of what would be coming off of the dwarves if they began to take their coats and boots off.
Just then, the door opened with a creak.
"Dwalin." I could hear his gruff voice and someone stuttered a reply.
"Balin." The older man had been much kinder, but whoever was behind the door still sounded appalled, muttering a hello and turning to yell something to Dwalin who had pushed past him into the house.
"Bombur."
"Bofur."
"Fili,"
"And Kili."
Bifur let out a bizarre sound and smacked his hand to his shoulder.
As the dwarves introduced themselves, they waltzed into the house and it wasn't until Bifur pushed his way into the hill that I saw how distraught the man before me looked. His head kept turning as he tried to keep track of where they were all wandering off to and I finally noticed the sign carved into the door, though how any of them could take it to mean _anything_ went far over my head. Some muttered about food and others asked for the toilet, which seemed to baffle the man even more. He almost tripped in his haste to keep an eye on everyone and just as he turned to shut the door, he noticed that there were still two of us left outside.
"Uh, Holly Morgan," I introduced myself with a wave, trying to smile politely as I held my hand out but one of the dwarves had gotten a hold of some food and _oh my god_ I was hungry.
"Oh-yes, well, um... Bilbo." After a deep breath to collect his thoughts, the man before me - _only an inch taller, at the most!_ \- shook my hand and stepped aside. I didn't wait to step into the hill and took a deep breath, reveling in the smell of well cooked food. "Baggins," he added quickly, his hand coming up to his forehead and grabbing his curly brown hair. I laughed a bit and stepped into his house.
"Cody," I heard from behind me and the door was shut.
This was it. I was in the Shire.
And in the Shire, I might find a way home.

It’s all about teamwork.
That’s what a new study by the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel has found after years of people curiously watching ants take off with their food raised questions about how the tiny insects were able to carry away morsels many times bigger than themselves.
The ants the researchers have been examining, also known as longhorn crazy ants or Paratrechina longicornis, have a distinct pattern of zigzagging as they move, and until now, scientists didn't understand why that might be.
According to the study, published Tuesday in Nature Communications, the ants optimize their ability to transport heavy loads, such as cat or dog food – or in this case, light-colored Cheerios scented with cat food for bait – by conforming to each other’s behavior. “It is the give and take of cooperation,” as National Geographic puts it.
To determine how this teamwork comes about, researchers filmed groups of ants carrying nearly 100 different loads of varying sizes, also adding obstacles to the paths back to their nests to see how they’d manage to maneuver around them.
Scientists tagged individual ants and found that they were trading off positions of leading, steering, and carrying. When a heavier object was placed to see if the ants would chomp it down into smaller pieces or collaborate to carry it as a whole, they decided to work together.
The degree of cooperation required is rare outside of humans and ants, the study authors wrote. To be able to efficiently work together, no tug-of-wars are permitted.
And ants shouldn’t get any funny ideas about slacking off: Another ant, monitoring the group’s progress, will prod them right back on track.
“The ‘romantic view’ of ants, explains systems physicist Ofer Feinerman, an author of the study, is that each single ant is stupid, but together ‘emerges some kind of collective intelligence,’ ” reported National Geographic.

Simon Garnier, who researches collective behaviors of ants and other organisms at New Jersey Institute of Technology's Swarm Lab, praised the study for its data collection method, according to Popular Science.
“What is especially impressive is that [the study] is based entirely on field data. They captured the behavior of the ants in their natural context and managed to come up with very clean data,” he said. “It is an excellent example of how tracking technologies, in this case computer vision, are making it possible to collect good data on animal behavior in the wild.”
Meditation rooms, unplugging, digital Sabbaths, reflection retreats, mindfulness classes—it seems like everyone is clamoring to find a pause button in the face of our always-on, socially connected, fear-of-missing-out lives.
There’s definitely something happening here with pauses, but it isn’t exactly clear that we’re putting our pauses to good use. We’d better learn how to do so in a hurry because pausing has become a crucial capability for leaders, employees, and organizations in the 21st century.

Q:
Extract data separated by a comma from a single cell
I have a spreadsheet with data relating to meetings . One of the cells has the name of meetings with the amount of participants under brackets as follows.
Staff meeting (65), HR meeting (15), Pension meeting (4)
There can be in between 1 to 9 meetings in a single cell. I am looking for a way to extract each meeting name and number (all information between commas) in separate cells.
Does anyone know how can this be done?
A:

Then select Text to Columns on the Data tab of the Ribbon.
Choose 'Delimited' and the 'Comma' as the separator.
Q:
Order contour points in clockwise
I want to describe shape of an object using contour points descriptor. Given a silhouette (image black white of an object), I extrait the contour points using EdgeDetect[] fonction. After that, I need to order these points as clockwise order starting from a given point p.
I try like this:
1) get the centroid.
2) Apply that as an offset to every point(subtract from the array)
3) For each point treat X and Y as real and imaginary and convert to Polar. bundle these as a cluster with angle first
4) Sort the array that this creates.
5) For each point convert back to X and Y
6) Add the offset back on.
In this case some points does not respect the order.
here is my code:
![image used1
centroid =
ComponentMeasurements[silhouette, "Centroid"][[All, 2]] // Flatten
contourImage = EdgeDetect[silhouette];
contourData = ImageData[contourImage];
coordContourData = PixelValuePositions[contourImage, 1];
normalizedContourData = (coordContourData[[#]] - centroid) & /@
Range[1, Length[coordContourData]];
angles = Table[
N[ArcTan[normalizedContourData[[i, 1]],
normalizedContourData[[i, 2]]/Degree]], {i, 1,
Length[normalizedContourData]}]
orderedcontourpoints = coordContourData[[Ordering[angles]]];
emptyImage = Image[Table[0, {i, 1, 600}, {j, 1, 800}]];
Manipulate[
ReplacePixelValue[emptyImage,
orderedcontourpoints[[1 ;; i]] -> 1], {i, 1, Length[angles], 1}]
I need to rectify this problem and I need to start from a given point, for example the point in the left having the same y as the centroid. Any suggestions please?
A:
This function can be used to generate the contour points in the clockwise order. The starting point is fixed as the left point having the same y as the centroid of the contour.
ContourBasedFeature[silhouette_] :=
Module[{centroid, startpoint, positions, contourPoints, order,
clockwiseorder}, (
centroid =
ComponentMeasurements[silhouette, "Centroid"][[All, 2]] // Flatten;

Ceiling[centroid[[1]]] &];

Gutenberg (PG-19) | out slips from newspapers, whenever they
recorded any events in his own family history, and to preserve them in a
mysterious cabinet. These investigations proved that there was a decided
family likeness running through the descendants of a common ancestor. As
a general rule, they had all belonged to the class "blackguard". From
this result he inferred that there was no God and no soul. His relations
were dreadfully scandalised: one was converted to his views; but the
others contrived diabolical plots for setting fire to these marvellous
collections and so stopping the contagion of these dreadful doctrines at
their source. It struck me, I confess, that instead of burning the
collections, they would have done better to ask him what was the
connection between his premisses and his conclusions. What was this
terrible, heart-paralysing truth which the poor man had discovered? Has
any human being ever doubted, since mothers were invented, that children
are apt to resemble their parents? I do not personally remember the
fact, but I should be prepared to bet, if the point could be settled,
that, before I was a month old,--and in those days neither Darwin nor
Weissmann had published a line,--my nurse and my mother had affirmed
that the baby was like his papa. That, at any rate, is a remark, the
omission of which would show more originality than the assertion. If I
desired, again, to produce classical authority for the importance of
race, I should not have to extend my researches beyond the Latin
Grammar. If, once more, we look into the writings of famous theologians,
we meet it everywhere. I take the first that comes to hand. "Good men,"
says Calvin, "and beyond all others, Augustine, have laboured to
demonstrate, that we are not corrupted by any adventitious means but
that we derive an innate depravity from our very birth." The denial of
this was an instance of consummate impudence--reserved, as Calvin shows,
for such wicked heretics as Pelagius. The doctrine of heredity, in
short, in a theological version, is essentially involved in the dogmatic
foundations of the orthodox creed. I have no doubt that an investigation
of the reasonings of Augustine and others would exhibit much affinity to
modern controversy, though in a very different terminology. Whatever we
may think of its merits, the doctrine of original sin implies that a
depraved nature may have been transmitted to the whole human race; and,
if the commonly alleged cause of the original depravity strikes us as
insufficient, it is, at least, a very familiar argument of divines,
that the doctrine corresponds to undeniable facts. Why should it startle
us in a scientific dress? If we can transmit depravity, why not genius
and bodily health? In one respect, modern theories tend rather to limit
than to extend the applicability of the principle. No one ever doubted,
nor could doubt, that the child of a monkey is always a monkey; and that
the child of a <DW64>, or even of a Mongol, has certain characteristics
which distinguish it from the child of a European. | 512 |
s2orc | novel coronavirus disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus (SARS-CoV-2) is a current worldwide threat for which the immunological features after infection need to be investigated. The aim of this study was to establish a highly sensitive and quantitative detection method for SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody and to compare the antibody reaction difference in patients with different disease severity.Results: Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to establish an indirect IgG ELISA detection system. The sensitivity of the ELISA was 100% with a specificity of 96.8% and a 98.3% concordance when compared to a colloidal gold kit, in addition, the sensitivity of the ELISA was 100% with a specificity of 98.9% and a 99.4% concordance when compared to a SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 protein IgG antibody ELISA kit. The increased sensitivity resulted in a higher rate of IgG antibody detection for COVID-19 patients. Moreover, the quantitative detection can be conducted with a much higher serum dilution (1:400 vs 1:10, 1:400 vs 1:100). The antibody titers of 88 patients with differing COVID-19 severity at their early convalescence ranged from 800 to 102,400, and the geometric mean titer for severe and critical cases, moderate cases, asymptomatic and mild cases was 51,203, 20,912, and 9590 respectively.Conclusion:The development of a highly sensitive ELISA system for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies is described herein. This system enabled a quantitative study of rSARS-CoV-2-N IgG antibody titers in COVID-19 patients, the occurrence of higher IgG antibody titers were found to be correlated with more severe cases.
Introduction
The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization) represents a worldwide health challenge. The major clinical presentations include fever, fatigue, cough, breathlessness and pneumonia [1]. An associated novel coronavirus was identified from the throat swab sample of a patient, which was subsequently named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by the International Virus Classification Committee. Coronaviruses are single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses with an envelope, their genomes are the largest of any known RNA virus. SARS-CoV-2 is the third coronavirus that has been associated with human disease in the past two decades, all of which can cause fatal respiratory diseases [1,2]. The other two viruses, SARS and MERS-CoV both caused large-scale outbreaks. As of July, 2003, 8096 SARS cases and 774 deaths in 29 countries were reported, with a total fatality rate of 9.6% [3]. MERS is still not under control, to date, it has caused 2494 confirmed cases and 858 deaths in 27 countries, with a case fatality rate of 34.4% [4]. Although the mortality rate of COVID-19 is not as high as SARS and MERS, it has become a major threat to global public health due to the large number of cases. A total of 125 million COVID-19 cases were reported to have occurred globally by the end of March 2021.
SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the Betacoronavirus genus lineage B, and genomic characterization of SARS-CoV-2 shows that it is closely related to bat SARS-like coronaviruses [5]. The diameter of the virus particles ranges from 60 to 140 nm, with unique spikes | 512 |

Wonderful story. Jasmine is a hardworking oil engineer, a woman in a man's field. It has taken her awhile to find a job and now that she has it she doesn't want to mess it up. She is also the single mother of twin girls, which adds another layer of stress to her life. Things are going well until she's assigned to work with Jet.
Jet isn't known for commitment to anything. He has a job at the company, but is rarely at the office. He's more known for his rodeo activities and the number of women he has dated. But he's getting more involved with the company, as he's going to have to step up while his sister, who really runs things, is out on maternity leave. On his first day as the new Jet, he is scheduled to meet the new engineer at a prospective site. When he gets there, he sees a beautiful woman that he assumes is a stripper that his friends have sent to prank him. Open mouth, insert foot. The woman is the new engineer and she has no trouble setting him straight. I loved seeing the way that he shows he's much more knowledgeable than she expected, but that he also has some balance in his life.
From the beginning Jet is drawn to Jasmine in a way he's never been drawn to a woman before, He's always avoided women with kids, but Jasmine and her girls get under his skin and into his heart. While he is definitely attracted to her, Jet realizes that what Jasmine needs more than anything else right now is a friend. I loved seeing him be there as a shoulder for her to lean on or to cry on. It was great to watch as he overcame the confusion of his feelings to realize exactly what he felt for Jasmine and her girls. It was fun seeing him getting into being with the girls, playing with them, but also worrying so hard when Brooke got sick. I | 512 |

reddit | 1000 points is ranked the same as one with 5 points where the top has 10. So since we currently have about 50 defaults that will have a post included in the logged-out front page (varying a bit depending on if /r/blog or /r/announcements has a post in the last 24 hours), this means that generally the first 2 pages (50 posts) will be made up of the #1 post from each of those subreddits, as the article's author observed. It's impossible for a second post from any subreddit to be included until after the #1 from all eligible subreddits. >As for why certain subreddits seem to almost always be on a particular page, this isn't actually something that's been specifically defined. It's definitely interesting that it's almost always the same set, but looking at which subreddits fell into which categories, it seems to mostly be a function of some combination of how old the subreddit is, how long it's been a default, how much traffic or how many subscribers it has, and how well the content from it satisfies some of the biases of reddit's hot algorithm (things that are quick to view, simple to understand, and non-controversial tend to do best). So subreddits like /r/mildlyinteresting will almost always have their #1 post be in the top half of the eligible #1s (and thus on the first page) just because their posts are very quick, somewhat amusing images, which generally do very well.

It was a 50 page speech which does very little to slow down any bullet. You need a couple hundred to stop one. Here is a link to prove, it took about an inch or paper (way more than 50 pages) to stop just a .22 LR from a pistol. http://www.theboxotruth.com/the-box-o-truth-31-the-books-o-truth/ Teddy is the guy who walks up to a gunfighter who is hired to kill him says, “I understand you have threatened to kill me on sight. I have come over to see when you want to begin the killing" and then scares the gunfighter out of town without laying a hand on him.

This could happen for years at a time, and it could happen periodically this century, even as the overall warming trend continues, the researchers reported in the journal Nature Climate Change.
“This study suggests the missing energy has indeed been buried in the ocean,” NCAR’s Kevin Trenberth, a co-author of the study, said in a statement. “The heat has not disappeared and so it cannot be ignored. It must have consequences.”
Trenberth and the other researchers ran five computer simulations of global temperatures, taking into account the interactions between the atmosphere, land, oceans and sea ice, and basing the simulations on projected human-generated greenhouse gas emissions.
These simulations all indicated global temperature would rise several degrees this century. But all of them also showed periods when temperatures would stabilize before rising. During these periods, the extra heat moved into deep ocean water due to changes in ocean circulation, the scientists said.
Host nation the United Arab Emirates have snatched a much-needed 2-0 victory over India to strengthen their chances of advancing to the Asian Cup knockout phase.
UAE had a disappointing start to the tournament, needing a late penalty to salvage a 1-1 draw with Bahrain, but Alberto Zaccheroni's side showed a marked improvement in Thursday's victory in Abu Dhabi.
Khalfan Mubarak's goal against the run of play and Ali Mabkhout's late strike put the UAE top of Group A on four points ahead of their final match with Thailand in Al Ain on Monday.
India will rue a series of missed chances in a contest they dominated, as a victory would have taken them through, although they still lie second.
Sunil Chhetri missed the chance to level just before the break as India chased a second win in five days, while Udanta Singh hit the crossbar for Stephen Constantine's side.
"They should make the goals a bit bigger, I think," coach Constantine bemoaned afterwards.
Also in Group A on Thursday, Thailand bounced back with a 1-0 win over Bahrain with interim coach Sirisak Yodyathai leading the team to victory in Dubai.
Yodyathai took the reins after previous boss Milovan Rajevac was sacked following the 4-1 thrashing by India in their opener.
Chanathip Songkrasin scored the only goal to lift Thailand to second in the group.
Earlier, in Group B, Jordan, who defeated champions Australia in their opening game, continued their fairytale run as they became the first team to reach the knock-out phase with a 2-0 win over Syria.
First-half goals from Mousa Suleiman and Tareq Khattab in Al Ain ensured Jordan will definitely finish in the top two.
"My guys made a great performance and tactically they were very good," said Jordan coach Vital Borkelmans.
"The country can be proud of my players."
Syria reportedly sacked their coach Bernd Stange afterwards and replaced him with former coach Ayman Hakeem for the remainder of the tournament.
They are not yet eliminated, having drawn with Palestine, who play Australia in a crunch showdown in Dubai on Friday.

Rodent models play an important role in understanding the natural history, mechanism, and modifying factors of breast cancer development. As discussed elsewhere, 7) since human breast cancer is heterogeneous at the morphological, genetic and molecular levels, any given animal model could not mimic the spectrum of human breast cancers, and animal models could mimic, at best, major subsets and pathways. In this respect, rodent models provide a variety of breast cancer types, as reviewed below, and can be used for numerous types of studies including assays of putative oncogenic and chemopreventative agents, pathogenesis due to specific treatment regimens or genetic alterations, etc. Two classes of rodent models have been used frequently: genetically modified mouse models and chemically induced carcinogenesis models. The radiation-induced model, nevertheless, is potentially very important, since radiation exposure is one of the very few epidemiologically proven etiologic factors of human breast cancer. [7][8][9] As reviewed here, animal models of radiation carcinogenesis sometimes gives us observations that do not hold in other models. We focus on the difference between radiation-and chemically induced mammary carcinogenesis, with an emphasis on rat models, and attempt to clarify the future role of animal models of radiation-induced mammary cancer.
MODELS OF RADIATION-INDUCED BREAST CANCER
Reported models of radiation-induced mammary carcinogenesis in rodents are summarized in Table 1. The rat is a widely used model to study the risk and mechanism of breast carcinogenesis because rat mammary cancers are comparable to human breast cancers in many respects, such as high frequency of hormone dependence and, pathologically, progression from ductal hyperplasia and ductal carcinoma in situ. [9][10][11] More than fifty years have passed since induction of mammary cancer by a single X-ray irradiation of the Sprague-Dawley rat was first reported. 12) Until recently, the Sprague-Dawley rat, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] as well as several Wistar-related strains (Wistar Furth, WAG, WM, and Lewis) [20][21][22][23] have been used in most studies. Although the use of other strains such as the F344 strain has been documented, [24][25][26] comparative studies have revealed that the Sprague-Dawley strain is most susceptible to radiation-induced mammary carcinogenesis. [26][27][28][29] The ACI rat is a unique model in which mammary cancer is induced by estrogen treatment, which can synergize with cancer induction by ionizing radiation. 30) The mouse provides an indispensable model system in which the effects of gene manipulation can be studied in vivo. Although mouse mammary tumors do have some dissimilarities from human breast cancers, such as the low frequency of hormone dependence and the progression of carcinoma predominantly from alveolar hyperplasia, [9][10][11] they provide a valuable route for genetic experimentation.

I'd like to give you some big story about what led me to choose to read this book, but I really just found myself between books and the tattoos on the guys arms caught my eye, well maybe his arms, chest, and that alpha-hole expression too, it was a whole package kind of thing. I can't even blame it on the blurb. I'm such a cover whore sometimes.
Told in two installments, The Property of Drex is a typical biker book. The hero, Drex, is a hot, tattooed and broody biker. The heroine, Eve, leans a bit towards the TSTL side but she is very loyal and has a big heart so it's something I could look past.
The suicide death of her father leaves Eve's family in dire financial straits. Without discussing things with her mother, Eve decides the only thing she can do is literally sell herself to the local MC in return for enough money to bail her Mother out. On the surface that seems like a noble thing to do, but let's be real, there is a myriad of options to explore before selling herself and Eve seemed to explore none of them. Anyhoo, the MC is headed by her childhood best friend's really skeevy Dad, who promptly turns her over to a rival MC as a peace offering.
The first book stalled a bit towards the end. As we get to know Drex and Eve, both characters seemed to be constantly reacting instead of actually trying to problem solve. What saved it was the fact that this was no wishy-washy MC, these guys were gritty and unapologetic about who and what they were.
The second book upped the pace and had a lot more action. Drex and Eve still had some of the same issues, but at least their questionable choices kept me entertained. The hot and cold thing of Drex's drove me batty, but the OTT plot was interesting if a bit far fetched, so I went along for the ride. I also enjoyed some of the other characters, especially Sarah. Her story has potential to be just the sort of crazy that I like.
This was not biker book nirvana, but it wasn't a bad choice when you're in need of a biker fix.

s2orc | capacity of the area and the urgent need, in a five year period, to develop urban tourism towards sustainability by focusing on the fundamental problems of urban development and urban tourism development, as well as the integration of sustainable policies and the stakeholders' participation in urban tourism development planning. For this reason, a possible sustainable urban tourism development plan-driving framework has been proposed to encourage the existing participation of stakeholders for future research development.
Introduction
In this article, a focus on a fundamental framework for urban tourism development plan formulation in Thailand, towards sustainability in the local governments of Chiang Mai Municipality and Phuket Municipality-as tourism cities whose urban tourism growth rate was the highest of the cities in Thailand, second only to Bangkok-was emphasized. In recent decades, tourism has been the most rapidly growing industry in the world [1], an important tool which has made money for cities and other sectors, and the cluster which has been most important to the city's economy [2,3]. Urban tourism has become one of the tourism sectors that has had the most rapid growth in the world [4] and replaced the traditional industry [5]. The city requires good management or new urban development to cause urban tourism, which will provide opportunity and cause the city to be more compact. However, urban tourism regeneration involves strategic planning to instigate change through new developments [2,[6][7][8][9]. When change and regeneration are addressed, they will form an important concept concerning spatial transitions [10,11]. While physical regeneration projects may be deemed necessary to support economic development, competitiveness and growth of tourism [10,12,13], it is also important to focus on its intangible results, impacts, legacies and social benefits [14].
Urban tourism is a complex phenomenon consisting of various activities and depending on many factors [2,15,16]. There are many aspects which closely connect to urban development. However, the impacts of environment and quality of life have been paid attention slightly. Most of the research has focused on economic factors, because tourism has become a motivator of the local economy [17,18]. Implementation has been in line with marketing strategies to respond to the tourists' needs and expectations, which have been the essence of urban tourism development planning [19]. The city's residents have not been a significant part of this planning. The urban dynamics and the growth of urban tourism can lead to the immense consumption of all kinds of resources. Urban renewal can also lead to urban sprawl. These processes are the dynamics of tourism industry and cause urban renewal, which will lead to the flow of capital, labour, goods and services. The cities' importance will be increased in terms of finance, services, entertainment, and facilities. Not just foreign investors, but also tourists, will be attracted to the cities [20,21]. If the cities are developed and managed in the appropriate direction, they will be effective cities and cities of opportunities, which have more interactions between the residents and tourists [22].
Although there have been attempts in academia and in the literature to explain the link between urban tourism, urban renewal/conservation [23][24][25], and sustainable | 512 |

cards are often drawn, and in many games, the entire deck is dealt out to 4 people, thus giving each person a quarter. in some games, cutting the deck in half is used for tiebreakers, by getting a card and seeing if it is higher than someone another person gets. drawing the top card could be seen as taking the head. none of these actions destroy the cards, and the game is still playable

So, my border collie/aussie shepard will be 2 years old in about a month. Her entire life so far she has been nothing but fantastic around people and other dogs. Whenever she'd meet a new dog she would immediately get submissive and roll over on her back for them to meet her. She's still great around people but she's gotten a lot more aggressive around other dogs. Now, there's about a more than 0% chance that she'll pick a fight when she meets a new dog off the leash. Before, when I was still getting settled in my place, she lived with my parents. Was around my parent's dog all the time. Now, she's been with me for about 6 months in my townhome. The townhome has a courtyard area where everyone brings their dogs and lets them run. At first, when my pooch started getting kinda aggressive it was just toward one dog, and I always thought this particular dog was the problem. Turns out, my dog is starting to be the aggressor more often than not, and I've noticed her get aggressive with some other dogs when friends try to have play dates. Why might this change have happened, and what can I do to reel it back in? Is it that she's in a complex with other dogs and she's more territorial now? Is it that she's living alone with me now instead of a lot of people so she's more protective of her daddy? I think she is getting enough exercise as she's not destructive in the house when I'm gone during the day, but could not getting enough be a part of this problem? It's disconcerting. I went out of my way to socialize her with other dogs when she was little, and this is a troubling change, indeed. All thoughts and ideas appreciated.

Hi there! Loving playing my resto druid at the moment. I'm not very far through progression-wise however, having only done LFR raids. What I wanted to ask was, how does the role of a resto druid differ from 5-man dungeons to raid healing? I feel that I'm pretty good at dungeons, I'm confident in pulling larger packs and being able to keep everyone alive. Being the only one responsible for keeping the group alive is a good feeling when you get it right. In raids however, I find it harder to tell if I'm even making a difference. Any advice on making the move from 5- to 25- man healing?
Yeah, stop and frisk sucks. And his prior stance on gun control sucks. But his current stance gives me some hope. Personally, i'm mostly concerned that he'd lead a charge for more tariffs on imports. At the wrong time, especially if there's no counterbalances, like less taxes and regulation, higher tariffs could be catastrophic. But the MSM never talks about these actual issues anymore. It's crazytown.
That doesn't sound to me like a monster. That sounds like someone working out a lot of hurt. Good for you for wanting to be a better person. That's the key reason you're not a monster.

Because Godzilla's a monster. You're just a good human being working it out. (Sorry if the attempt at funny hurt anyone.)

realnews | Australian border authorities.
All of these circumstances, we believe, generate a duty of care that falls on Australian law enforcement and border officials.
There are historical examples from the database of border-related deaths we host on our Border Crossing Observatory that fit this criteria.
Newborn baby “Ashmorey” died in September 2001 on board an Operation Relex vessel. Deportee Viliami Tanginoa jumped from a basketball pole in Maribyrnong Detention Centre in 2001 after an altercation with guards. Seong Ho Kang was struck by a taxi in Sydney in 2004 while seeking to evade arrest by immigration authorities. All these deaths were deaths in custody.
It is important to note that applying the “deaths in custody” label for the purposes of investigation and monitoring does not mean responsibility is attributed for those deaths. This is a matter to be determined by coroners. But official designation as a “death in custody” would mean the deaths that occur in detention be brought before a Coroner’s Court.
Any and all deaths that occur in any of the circumstances described above must be considered to be deaths in custody and should be included in the Australian Institute of Criminology monitoring program. Australia must urgently ratify and implement the optional protocol. This why the Border Crossing Observatory is launching a campaign to have these deaths counted.
If we are serious about preventing the deaths of asylum seekers these measures must be included in the arrangements that are now being pieced together as we return to offshore processing.

However, a crewman, Raymond Emmanuel, was quoted as saying that they were delivering the gold to a company in Curacao, but he did not know the name of the business. He said neither he nor anyone else on the vessel was armed and this was normal procedure. He said he had transported gold in a similar manner once before, according to the report.
Huggins said guards to the port area let the assailants inside a restricted area in the mistaken belief that they were customs officials. The men’s jackets had the word “police” in English but in Curacao the word would be written in Papiamento, one of the island’s three official languages, as “polis,” according to the report. During the robbery, crew members said, the men wore hoods and masks and made off with the gold in a matter of minutes, the report said. Huggins said the captain and three crew members were from Guyana.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, CMC- Visa problems have ravaged the Trinidad and Tobago national Under 23 team ahead of the start of their campaign in the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) First Round Qualifiers in Puerto Rico today.
Only five members of an original 20-man squad announced for today’s opening fixture with Suriname arrived in San Juan on Monday as scheduled, officials have said.
Another seven players who did not make the final shortlist were due to arrive Tuesday after they were recalled.
All 12 players are in possession of United States visas, unlike the players who were originally selected but could not travel to the US territory for the tournament.
“We had applied within the regular timeframes. These (Olympic qualifiers) were scheduled for August and our first order of business was the Pan Am Games, which starts in July,” said Team manager David Muhammed.
“Then, they rescheduled the Olympic qualifying phase and put it before the Pan Am Games and this reoriented our whole plan… the mad scramble started from there.” The Olympic qualifying schedule was adjusted in April leaving officials with eight weeks to prepare and select the squad and sort out passports and visas issues.
Muhammed said the Warriors application for visas was made on June 16 just before the players went into a training camp only to be told that no applications could be processed that week.
However, a message on the embassy’s website reported “technical problems” since May 26, not restricted to Trinidad and Tobago.
“The Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs is currently experiencing technical problems with our overseas passport and visa systems. This issue is not specific to any particular country, citizenship document, or visa category.

If you ever actually visited China, or knew people inside China, you would know that the country is nowhere near as "authoritarian" as you are claiming it is.
I have extended family in China. In many ways.. they actually have more freedoms from government intrusion than I as an American have. Even the alleged "blocking of the internet" is very much over-played in western media.
Bottom line: as long as you are not organizing or acting to undermine the central government... the government leaves you alone in China. They are also not taxed at rates we are in the US.. and China does not spend a quarter of their annual budget on their military either... unlike the US.
According to TV forensics shows, even a dead person's temperature drops less than two degrees per hour indoors.

Xander smiled grimly. “I’m putting you in charge of a very _specific_ group of the Deeprealm children. Those who have demonstrated the problems that I listed earlier. They lack the understanding and self-discipline needed to join our army, and to make matters worse, many have gathered repeated offenses on their records, for various misdemeanors.”
He stood up from his chair and drew close to Siegbert, putting his hand on his shoulder. “My son, you are the second in succession for the throne of Nohr. You will one day wield unimaginable power, the likes of which even I have not truly experienced myself. Consider this a test of leadership. Are you a man who can inspire those around him to improve themselves through your actions and examples? Or are you simply not ready to bear the responsibility?”
“I won’t disappoint you, Father!” said Siegbert, beaming. “I’ll make exemplary Nohrian soldiers out of each and every one of them, just you wait!”
Xander smiled back, warmly this time. “Excellent. I will make the necessary preparations. Come to the common room in the north tower after dinner tonight, and you shall see your units.”
“I will be there! Thank you again, Father!” said Siegbert, as he left the room.
Xander continued smiling as Siegbert left, but quickly dropped his pleased expression once his son had left his view. Leaning on his desk, he closed his eyes and sighed. “Gods, that’s taken care of.”
He sat back down in his armchair, a sudden tiredness taking hold of him. “Talking to him... truly is a sobering experience, as always. He cannot be more than ten years younger than me, and yet he _is_ my son.”
As Xander continued to ponder the strange twist that fate had seen fit to give him, Siegbert strode away, eager to prove himself to his father. But he would have to prove himself to his fellow units, first...

Siegbert made his way to the North Tower shortly after dinner. Having feverishly read an ancient tome of leadership tips cover-to-cover just after leaving Xander’s office, he was feeling fairly confident about his newfound position of authority. Rolling up the sleeves of his red tunic as he approached the door to the common room, Siegbert paused just in front and took a deep breath. Then, steeling himself, he threw it open. But before he could open his mouth to speak, he was drowned out by the scene in front of him.

Colonists came sixty years before, but at the end of the 17th Century
were small in number and in exports. This is due to the rich production
of the Sugar Islands, the absence of Indians, and the contraband trade
with Spain. The North American Colonies have in the 18th Century greatly
increased in population and wealth, far beyond the West India Islands.
Franklin in a book published in 1751 showed that the native born
foreigners double every 25 years, in addition is the steady emigration,
and some Colonies thus double their population in 18, some in 16, and
some in 14 years. This will go on as long as there is plenty of farm
land, and this increases largely with the acquisition of Canada and
Louisiana. In 1750 there were a million, Douglas in his book estimated
that in 1760 there were 1,051,000, besides blacks and soldiers,--on that
basis in 1775 there will be 2 millions, and at the close of the 18th
Century, 4 millions. To attract foreigners, an Act of Parliament granted
English citizenship to every Protestant after seven years' residence, a
right that in England can only be obtained with great expense and
trouble by a special Act of Parliament. The Certificate of the
Provincial authorities costs only a few shillings and is good through
all England.
Near the coast and some miles beyond, all the Middle Colonies are
settled, and new improvements are extending deeper in the interior. In
Pennsylvania, where the Penn family own all the land, any one who wants
to improve the land, chooses a piece, pays the landlord for 100 acres 10
Pound Sterling local money, and binds himself to pay an annual rent of
half a penny for each acre,--he then becomes absolute owner, and the
little ground rent can never be increased. Sometimes the hunter builds a
wooden hut, and the nearest neighbors in the wilderness help cut the
timber, build the log hut, fill the crevices with mud, put on the roof
and put in windows and doors, and in return the owner pays them with a

Gutenberg (PG-19) | is to pray without ceasing,
to frequent churches, to do penance, and to: abstain from pleasure; it
is to live in selfishness and solitude. What good results to society
from these practices, all of which may be observed by a man who has
not the shadow of virtue? If such morals lead to heaven, they are
very useless on earth. But certain it is, that a man may be a faithful
observer of all that Christianity enjoins, without possessing any of the
virtues which reason shews to be necessary to the support of political
society.
It is necessary, then, to carefully distinguish Christian morality from
political morality; the former makes saints, the latter citizens: one
makes men useless, or even hurtful to the world; the other has for
its object the formation of members useful to society; men active
and vigorous, who are capable of serving it, who fulfil the duties
of husbands, fathers, friends, and companions, whatever may be their
metaphysical opinions, which, let theologists say what they will, are
much less sure than the invariable rules of good sense.
In fact, it is certain, that man is a social being, who in all things
seeks his own happiness; that he does good when he finds it his
interest; that he is not commonly bad, because that would be contrary
to his welfare. This being premised, let education teach men to know
the relations which exist among themselves, and the duties arising from
those relations; let governments, calling to their aid laws, rewards,
and punishments, confirm the lessons given by education; let happiness
accompany useful and virtuous actions, let shame, contempt, and
chastisement be the rewards of vice. Then would mankind have a true
morality, founded in their own nature upon their mutual wants, and the
interest of nations at large. This morality, independent of the sublime
notions of Theology, might perhaps have very little in common
with Christian morality; but society has nothing to lose from this
circumstance, as has already been proved.

Hmm, well that sure is contradictory information as I guess is a lot of things in the food science world. Although some of the links just show that saturated fats aren't as bad as other things, which I'm not sure is a ringing endorsement. I wonder if there are studies that further breakdown the effects of dairy vs meat saturated fats. Based on what I've seen so far from your links it would indicate that saturated fats are at best a non-factor and at worst are a risk-factor in heart disease.
I think the problem is that people are largely willing to hate on people for no specific reason other than to feel better than themselves. I personally would make the argument that nobody "is" straight or gay. You are simply a sexual being and you are conditioned to like a certain set of traits. I write more about it in my blog here to save space in the comment: http://toastter.blogspot.com/2014/04/nobody-is-born-gay.html You cannot help that guys happen to have the features that you are conditioned to like more often than women and you should not feel any worse for that. In regard to the grindr situation, people online are always shady and it sucks when people lead you on. Attraction is a funny thing. You might feel unattractive, but no matter what you look like there is always someone out there who likes it. You could dress up like a clown every day and someone will think clowns are sexy. It's just the way it is.

Fullpage.js: Next and Previous buttons
I have two buttons: #btn1 and #btn2; and I want them to go back and forth when clicked. So #btn1 must go to previous slide and when I click #btn2 it goes to the next slide.
I use fullPage.js for slides.
In documentation says that must me use this
$.fn.fullpage.moveSlideUp();
$.fn.fullpage.moveSlideDown();
But I'm amateur with Javascript. Can you help me?
A:
Just add this:
$('#button1Id').click(function(){
$.fn.fullpage.moveSectionDown();
});
$('#button2Id').click(function(){
$.fn.fullpage.moveSectionUp();
});
And better also to use the option fixedElements in case.
$.fn.fullpage({
fixedElements: '#button1Id, #button2Id'
});
UPDATE
If you are using fullpage.js 2.X then you dont need to use the option fixedElements. Just using a wrapper for the plugin and placing the fixed elements outside the wrapper will work fine if you add the fixed positioned styling in your CSS.

Q:
Why does `(object.fun = object.fun)() use `window` but (object.fun)() uses `object` for `this`?
In the book "Professional JavaScript for Web Developers" 3rd edition, it said that:
var name = "The window";
var object = {
name: "My object",
getName: function() {
return this.name;
}
}
object.getName(); //"My object"
(object.getName)(); //"My object"
(object.getName = object.getName)(); //"The window"
The question is why (object.getName)(); will print "My object" instead of "The window" like the third?
I think object.getName shall return a pointer to the function, just like the third one. The this shall point to the global object, which is window in web browser. Therefore it shall print the "The window". However it seems that object.getName returns object.getName itself. Why?
A:
The more confusing part is actually about the 3rd example, but let me answer your specific question about the second example:
The question is why (object.getName)(); will print "My object" instead of "The window" like the third?
Think of how JavaScript resolves the pieces of your code:
object // This is the reference to the object you've made. No surprises here
object.getName // A reference to the function `getName`, with `this` bound to `object`
(object.getName) // This is the same thing as #2. The parens aren't important here
object.getName(); // Invoking the function, as you normally would
(object.getName)(); // Strange syntax, but just invoking the function all the same
But what about when "The window" gets printed?
This is the more confusing part.
(object.getName = object.getName)(); // Things start to go strange here
This is partly because of the assignment (=) operator, and it is because JavaScript function binding (this keyword) | 512 |

goodreads | until she finds herself being coerced and blackmailed by her family into an unwanted marriage. Her heart however lies elsewhere but she may not be free to follow her true desire.
Also reappearing from the first novel is the Lacey brothers - Will and James. Will has now settled down and is happily married but his younger brother, James, is haunted by his recent experiences in the Low Countries. To try and recover his spirits, he is about to set sail on a journey to the Americas but he leaves his heart behind with Jane who needs him more than ever. I loved the relationship between these two characters. They're both only eighteen years old but they've each experienced a lot in their short lifetimes and are living in a period when people were getting married and having children at a much younger age. The scenes in the book that they share were definitely among my favourite passages. They may get off on the wrong foot but when misunderstandings are put aside they fall madly in love and are perfect for each other!
Set in 1583, attention is paid to recreating the sights, sounds and smells of Tudor England. I felt transported back to an entirely different age. The story illustrates the precarious situation which was faced by many women at the time who were not free to choose their own paths and had little independence or rights of their own. Jane's friend Milly is seen trying to carve out her own business but this is shown to be a difficult endeavour at times for a single woman. Milly also shares a close friendship with James's servant Diego and here the book sensitively handles the relationship between a white English woman and a dark-skinned foreigner. Racial discrimination is rife and not everyone is accepting of the match.
Some familiar faces reappear from 'The Other Countess' such as Will and Ellie and it was good to pick up their story briefly again and see how things have turned out from them. You don't necessarily need to have read the first book before this one but I would recommend you do for the sheer pleasure and enjoyment they provide.
Eve Edwards has turned me into a huge fan and you can bet I'm going to be picking her books up to re-read them at some point soon. I thought that the first book was absolutely brilliant but I think she may have outdone herself with the sequel.
No, this is not the book of the century.
Yes, this storyline is nowhere near new.

"There is substantial and credible information that the president's lies about his relationship with Ms. Lewinsky were abundant and calculating," the Starr report said.
It said that Clinton lied first in a Jan. 17 deposition he gave under oath in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him by former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones. Her lawyers were trying to show that Clinton had a history of having sex with employees, and they interviewed Lewinsky. The lawsuit has since been dismissed.
On Easter Sunday, April 7, 1996, the report says, he and Lewinsky had a sexual encounter in a hallway outside the Oval Office after Clinton returned from church with his wife, a day when he was still mourning the death of his friend, Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, in an airplane crash.
It also quoted Lewinsky saying she and Clinton engaged in arousing "phone sex" about 15 times, each time initiated by a call from Clinton.
The report said Clinton repeated the perjury when he testified before Starr's grand jury in August.
"Either Monica Lewinsky lied to the grand jury or President Clinton lied to the grand jury," the report said. "Under any rational view of the evidence, the president lied to the grand jury."
Also, the report accuses Clinton of trying to obstruct justice by working to keep Lewinsky quiet and to keep investigators from finding evidence of their relationship.
The report portrays the president as far more deeply involved in the effort to find Lewinsky a job than has been previously disclosed, at one point meeting with her in the Oval Office dining room to discuss employment prospects. Clinton personally called Lewinsky at home on Dec. 17 to tell her that she was on a list of potential witnesses in the Paula Jones case, according to the report.
During that conversation, the report said, Clinton and Lewinsky discussed cover stories they had used months earlier to conceal their relationship from co-workers and, presumably, the president's wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Although the report cites no evidence that the president explicitly told her to lie, it quotes Lewinksy's grand jury testimony in which she says the implication of the conversation was that she should deny that the two had had a sexual relationship.
Starr also charged that Clinton sought to throw investigators off the track by coaching his secretary Betty Currie to give misleading information about his relationship with Lewinsky.
Following his Jan. 17 deposition in the Paula Jones case, Clinton summoned Currie to the Oval Office for a meeting the following day. The president, according to the report, led Currie through a series of questions that appeared to suggest she give misleading information about whether he and Lewinsky ever met privately in the Oval Office.
During this meeting, the president asked Currie, "We were never alone, right?" and "Monica came on to me and I never touched her, right?" the report said.
Starr also accused the president of obstructing justice by telling senior staff, including chief of staff Erskine Bowles, his deputy John Podesta and adviser Sidney | 512 |

gmane | on the simulated system then addresses the SSD disk behind the IDE interface, the FTL should automatically be addressed. In this case you don't need to write any new drivers/software, as long as you make sure that the kernel knows the right address where it can find the disk. Your software will treat it as a normal block device.
How such an transaction is detected to be for your device is depended on the used protocol. What does Gentoo tell you about your disk system? gem5 models the lowest layers, so if they have different IO addresses, then you can see if your device is addressed directly, if it is done by the controller passing on the message to a certain disk, then you will need to monitor certain fields in the transfer request.
How the kernel discovers the devices depends on the version and configuration of your kernel. If your kernel supports device trees than you just have to change the dtb file and your gem5 configuration script. If your kernel doesn't support that, then you probably have to do some kernel hacking (most likely in arch/$YOURPLATFORM).
The IDE disk controller should support multiple disks. I am not sure what the maximum is, but I think that three will still work.
If you want to write a new device, then you probably will need to write the drivers in Linux as well (unless you will conform to a well known standard for which drivers are already available in the kernel). In that case you will need to attach it to a specific bus in gem5 (which I suspect is going to be the IO bus). Have a look at the devices in src/dev (e.g. ide_ctrl.hh may be useful) to see how it is done there.
So all things considered, what I think you can do is the following:
- Modify your FTL to go in between the disk (either RAW or COW) and the disk interface
- Place multiple disks behind the IDE disk interface controller (this should be a vector of disks)
- Start your Gentoo Linux
I hope I have clarified things for you, it all depends on what you want to do and where the FTL model is going to be placed.

Marx was right; capitalism can destroy itself: Roubini
Pam Heaven Aug 12, 2011 – 9:04 AM ET | Last Updated: Aug 12, 2011
1:39 PM ET
Nouriel Roubini cited an even more controversial economist than
himself this week when explaining the state of the world’s
turbulent economy.
“Karl Marx got it right, at some point capitalism can destroy
itself,” said Mr. Roubini, in an interview with the Wall Street
Journal. “We thought markets worked. They’re not working.”
Mr. Roubini also said there is more than a 50% chance the world
will plunge into another global recession and the next two to
three months will reveal the economy’s direction.
“We are at stall speed right now, and we do not know if we are
going to go up, or down,” he said. | 512 |
StackExchange | I know, you may also have Tk problems, but your images are already bad before you get to Tk.)
The way I tested this was to modify your anim_gif function to write out the frames as separate image file, by changing the for item in pics[1:] loop like this:
for i, item in enumerate(pics[1:]):
temp.paste(item)
temp.save('temp{}.png'.format(i))
gif['frames'].append(ImageTk.PhotoImage(temp.convert('RGBA')))
The very first file, temp0.png, is already screwed up, with no Tk-related code being called.
In fact, you can test the same thing even more easily:
from PIL import Image
im = Image.open('test.gif')
temp = im.copy()
im.seek(1)
temp.paste(im.copy())
temp.save('test.png')
The problem is that you're pasting the pixels from frame #1 over top of the pixels from frame #0, but leaving the color palette from frame #0.
There are two easy ways to solve this.
First, use the RGBA-converted frames instead of the palette-color frames:
temp = pics[0].convert('RGBA')
gif['frames'] = [ImageTk.PhotoImage(temp)]
for item in pics[1:]:
frame = item.convert('RGBA')
temp.paste(frame)
gif['frames'].append(ImageTk.PhotoImage(temp))
Second, don't use copy and paste at all; just copy over each frame as an independent image:
gif['frames'] = [ImageTk.PhotoImage(frame.convert('RGBA')) for frame in pics]

xCode 8.x crashes with "GameScene.sks" file
I've downloaded macOS Sierra 10.12 and put it into an VMWare machine. Everything running well, but at xCode, using SpriteKit, whenever I try to open the GameScene.sks file (to put the origin point (0, 0) at the bottom, just like it was before xCode 8), the program crashes immediately.
Using VMWare Pro 12; Tried both with xCode 8.1 and 8.2 Beta, same crash.
I know theres many cases as mine, but its just annoying that this have no solution.
I found this in my VERY DEEP google search, but that solution is not a solution for me, because VMware doesn't let you put an gpu to work with the VM(I have intel hd 4600 + gtx 960).
I can open action sks files normally. Seems like only GameScene.sks gives me a crash, so:
Theres a way to fix it?
If not, can I edit the GameScene.sks file or just put origin point at the bottom without xCode?
If not either, can I download an previous xCode version without developer license?
Well, the last thing I could do is to make an dual boot here in my PC, but I think its not so easy as it seems

Finally I found a solution for this issue!
You have to re-code-sign Xcode 8 and it's components to make it work.
Some of these applications are flagged so they refuse to load libraries that are not signed by Apple. The Nvidia Web Driver is not signed by Apple, so it's not loaded, resulting in the behavior you describe. (See this thread)
I'm using an nVidia GPU only, and it caused the issue - at least for me.
Quit XCode and run these commands in Terminal one by one:

My hands, trembling a little from being in one position for so long, unbolted the door. I had no idea where Kili and Bilbo had disappeared to; Fili was lying in bed, back to the bathroom. In the little light, I could not tell if he was awake or asleep, so I padded across the room, strung up my clothes to dry and slipped in behind him. The intimacy of the situation struck me at once - under the covers, it felt so much more intense than being beneath the stars.
I felt Fili shift; he turned to me, eyes impassive on my face before I offered him a weak little smile. He snatched it up, and slipped an arm around my waist tentatively. "I apologize for any discomfort I caused you, Astrid."
I wrinkled my nose a little, half smiling as I cut him off. "It was my fault." I paused, feeling a little guilty in myself as I cleared my throat, focusing on one of the braids that had fallen across his throat. "Where I come from, there was a man." I felt him stiffen, and still could not meet his eyes. "But... I think it is over." My words made my throat ache with emotion, and I was surprised as hell when he pulled me close to him.
"I'm sorry for my actions, without knowing." Strong fingers tilted my chin up, to meet his eyes. "I will not share you, Astrid." His eyes were dark and unreadable, and as he leaned in, my breath hitched. He kissed my forehead gently, before settling back down.
Mahal, what was going on now?
**Notes for the Chapter:**
> I really implied that something was happening with Bilbo and Kili - if you want to ship, roll with it c; I almost feel like Bilbo's doing the hobbit dance whilst Kili's managed to track down the only male elf on the bar and hit on them.

**Summary for the Chapter:**
> Overprotective Thorin oh joyy.
It was only when I woke up, my stomach grumbling, that I realized we'd missed dinner. That was literally the first thought that popped into my head. Dinner. Ugh. I thought it was hobbits that were obsessed with their food. But then, I guess Bombur... Behind me, a low groan came from the sleeping dwarf with his arm curled around my waist, one of my legs tangled haphazardly between his. I almost died at the contact. Not even kidding; the intimacy. Eesh. I rolled over a little; Fili's head was pressed into my hair, and he was apparently rather blissfully dead to the world.
In the new and golden light of day that peeped through the thin material of our curtains - if you could call them curtains - I could just lay there with him and forget anything that had gone, or was going on, or was to be. We were just two dwarves, alone and peaceful. Poetic, right?

wrecking and smuggling, added to the dangers of the mines, and all

after century, to make Cornwall a byword till John Wesley and George

in the ignorant Cornish miner, a faith which, as illustrated by William
Carey and taught by the Church of England, did much to make Henry Martyn

"Pink hair ribbons!"
Barbara Thurston's brown, bright face seemed to twinkle all over, as she
clinked a yellow coin on the marble top of the little sewing table.
"Silk stockings!" chorused Mollie Thurston gleefully. "Wasn't it the
luckiest thing that the hotel people wanted so many berries this year!"
And she, too, sent a gold piece spinning over the smooth surface. "But,
perhaps, we won't be invited after all," she sighed.
"Nonsense!" rejoined Barbara energetically. "When Grace Carter says
she'll fix a thing, you can wager she will. She's known Ruth Stuart for
three summers now, and she's told us we'd be invited to Ruth's party

I have some of the routing working acceptibly but another portion I
cannot get working not matter what I've tried. The cable connection
comes in on eth1 and I'd like the output to go back out that interface
but it doesn't appear to work as advertised. I would also like the
two adsl connections to return packets to the interface they came in
on and have packets originating from the local machine and networks
load balance out the two adsl connections. Currently this doesn't
appear to be working either. It seems straight forward in the
lartc.txt and ip-cref documents but it doesn't seem to work all the
same. I would be very appreciative if someone can tell me what I am
doing wrong.
I will include my cobbled together policy routing script below. It's
messy now because of all the silly things I've tried to get it working

Hello Kin, and the rest of the group.
I received your posts to the list and those of others.
Thanks for letting me know about your being at the meeting tomorrow and
for the hot dog tail gate party at six p.m. I may be at the parking lot
at six and will be at the meeting for 6:55 p.m. for sure. At last I will

Some comments after using Photo2Shape version 0.1.14
1. The error message that appears when no co-ordinates were found says
"The following files does added ...". This could be "The following
files were not added ...".
2. On the above mentioned message window the tick box "Show this
message again" does not work. Unticked the message still appears.
3. If no geotagged photos are found an empty shapefile is created.
4. The title on the main dialog box says "Images to shapefile".
Perhaps this should be "Photo2Shape"?
5. On Ubuntu the two browse buttons display file selection dialogs
with different styles. The photo selection dialog looks like Nautilus,
but the shapefile selection dialog looks different.
6. The qml file contains Russian text for the default label.
7. The camera symbols do not turn yellow when selected on the map canvas.
8. The camera symbols are replaced with dots if the symbology is
changed. Try adding labels for example.
Besides these minor issues the plugin works very well and I
successfully processed a few hundred photos. Thank you :)

**Author's Note:**
> Originally archived at ralst.com under another penname; I decided I wanted it here as well since I've been rewatching the series
Izzie Stevens awoke to an overall sensation of cold. The first thought that struck her was of the floor. The linoleum floor, even after absorbing her body heat for untold hours, still maintained the strange feeling of chilled dampness that it always seems to hold. Though the air around her was of an agreeable temperature, her surroundings exuded a sense of loneliness and sorrow, and suddenly she wondered why she was lying on the bathroom floor of Meredith's house in a prom gown. All at once, the events that had transpired recently came rushing back and a fresh wave of tears threatened to surface. Her lips parted slightly and she uttered a strangled cry. In a rush of sound, the rest of her surroundings came to her attention, most noticeably the banging on the door and loud yelling outside of it.
"Izzie, I'm about three seconds away from breaking down this door!"
From anyone else, Izzie would have been worried, but Meredith was much too fragile to break anything, much less a door. The next shout came from Cristina, and though it bore the same warning, Izzie was sure that the feisty woman could go through with it. Slowly rising off the floor, she winced at the marks left on her skin by the tile. As she opened the door, she took note of her friends' expressions of shock at her disheveled appearance, but her temper flared when she saw their gazes change to looks of pity. Turning quickly to shut herself back in the bathroom, she stopped when a hand closed around her wrist.
"You can't just lock yourself in there forever."
The warmth from the hand and that voice swept through her and her head shot up as she realized who it belonged to.
"Why are you here?" She whispered, turning her head slightly to look at the person who gripped her arm so tightly. It was Addison Montgomery-Shepard.
"Your friends called me, they must've run out of choices," Addison chuckled softly.
"If you're so worried, then you can come sit with me. At least that should keep them from banging down the door," Izzie spat, glaring at the others. Suddenly she pulled forward, and Addison stumbled after her, still holding onto her wrist. Izzie used her available arm to shut and lock the door. She then pried her hand out of Addison's grasp and sat against the bathtub, laying her head back against the cool glass door.
"I'm still mad at you, you know?"
"I kind of figured that, but I really am sorry that I hurt you. Do you mind if I sit? I have the feeling you're going to keep me in | 512 |

CRACKDOWN: China’s economy is finally starting to cool under the weight of a multi-year crackdown on riskier lending that is pushing up borrowing costs for companies and consumers, with data on Thursday pointing to a broad slowdown in activity in May.
CHINA METALS OUTPUT: While slower Chinese growth suggested lower demand, China’s output of 10 non-ferrous metals including copper, aluminium, lead, zinc and nickel rose 4.3 percent in May from a year earlier to 4.55 million tonnes. Aluminium production was up 1.5 percent at 2.79 million tonnes.
TRADE TENSIONS: U.S. President Trump has made up his mind to impose “pretty significant” tariffs on Chinese goods, an administration official said on Thursday, as Beijing warned that it was ready to respond if Washington chose to ratchet up trade tensions.

Why we want him: There’s a good chance that Thaddeus Young will be the highest paid player in this free agent class, and for good reason.
At only 22, Young is only going to get better and can be signed to a long-term deal with no fear of regression. 82games.com has a “Simple Rating”, measuring their overall effectiveness on offense and defense. Young came in at an impressive 3.3, ahead of guys like Danny Granger, Marc Gasol, Paul Millsap, and Luis Scola. He is a power forward who can play the small forward if needed, and this versatility is something the Nets sorely needed this year. The Georgia Tech product scored nearly 13 points per game in only 26 minutes, and it is confusing why Doug Collins didn’t play him more this year.
He is an average defender at the three and four positions, with a defensive rating of 100.88 (league average is 100). His greatest strength offensively is that he can drive to the hoop and dunk like few can in the NBA. Power forwards have problems guarding him because he is faster and more athletic than them. He uses this athleticism to his advantage, being able to make some incredible plays above the rim. He had a 4.3 GPA in high school and uses this intelligence to be a “student of the game”, making few dumb mistakes like turnovers. When going to Brooklyn, it would be nice to have “good guys”, and it seems that Young is just that. Oh, and that 18.4 PER would help The Nets a little bit.

goodreads | we get the chance to experience more Colton in the prequel Blessed Fate coming in May!!
I just finished reading some of the one-star reviews for this book on Amazon, but I'm sorry. No matter how well some of those readers expressed their opinions, I simply can't agree with them.
I LIKED this book. I think the way the author wove mythological and artistic references into the story was quite clever and effective, but her chess analogies were downright brilliant.
Is the story entirely believable? Probably not. The formerly rich paragon of virtue whose father's criminal acts and downfall lead her to allow a mobster to auction off her virginity so she can "save the farm" isn't exactly a new story line, and it's still a story line worthy of an eye roll or two, but the intelligent aspects of the tale elevate it above other books of this ilk. Plus, there's more than prurient "forbidden fantasy" feelings being evoked here; there's hope, too... the same hope the innocent heroine herself harbors, and that's the hope for a happy ending. The hope that the person who "buys" her for a month will be a good person who treats her well, who loves her, and is the key to a happy ever after.
The ending isn't altogether satisfying. This book COULD stand on its own, but in essence, it's a bit of a cliffhanger. If anyone still believes a happy ending is possible at the end of this book... even though our heroine is on the verge of giving up... will have to read the next book in the series to find it. Or who knows? Maybe even another book after that... Or maybe none of us will find that happiness for our heroine, after all. Maybe what we'll find is revenge. Checkmate.
An amazing end to a tremendous series, I find myself running out of superlatives to describe both.
Beginning with the reign of yet another of Genghis's grandsons, Conquerer is one of the longest novels in the series and shows not a lot has been learnt by the third generation of Khans from the bloodshed incurred when the sons of Genghis fought and died to become Khan in his shadow.
Guyuk, who seizes power initially, quickly demonstrates his lack of experience and allows his malice and greed to shape his actions, immediately striking out at those potentially opposed to his rule and forcing the sons of Genghis's youngest son to step up and fight for the kingdom. The rest of the novel sees the tempering of one brother, Mongke, who starts more ruthlessly than Genghis himself but quickly learns to balance strength and reticence and Kublai, a scholar thrust into a campaign to cut his teeth in battle who quickly discovers his want to leave a legacy and shape the nation in his image.
The history of the Mongol nation is full of amazing characters, both men and women who shaped their future and brought the nomadic nation together, but the nation is at its most fragile when the wrong people take | 512 |

I am trying to cleanup a complex application where XSL and XML are getting
too complex.
I started by restructuring the XML, renaming and moving elements around. Now
I have the problem of matching the XSL to the new XML.
One of the problems is that I may have multiple XSL pages for each XML
"file" (the XML is actually automatically generated and tranformed).
And another problem is that some of the XML never matched the XSL (i.e.
attributes and/or element added just in case one day they were needed, or
XSL templates that look for attributes/elements that are never passed).
What I would really like is a tool that matches the XPaths referenced by an
XSL stylesheet with the path in an XML file.
Even something that would generate the list of XPaths referenced by an XSL
stylesheet will suffice (then it would be quite easy to parse an XML file,
generate paths for each node and match them with the paths in a stylesheet).
Does anybody know if such a tool for XSL exists ? Or has any suggestion of
how to write it or knows of any XSLT processor with an API that would allow
me to do that ?
Thanks!

developers release and discovered that 'demo transform' seems to
be broken on cygwin for the one where there are two windows into
data and one of them is being rotated and the other is being inverse
transformed so it stays still. Now it looks like one window is
rotating and the other seems to be rotating twice as fast in the
same direction.
Can anyone confirm this behavior for PDL-2.4.6_001 for me? I
see some work with FITS hdr in the git log but don't really know
if that could be the source of the problem.

Q:
Did I get served fake maple syrup?
Last week I was at a breakfast place in a Maine resort town and had some pancakes. The offered "real" maple syrup at extra cost, so I asked for it. It came in a plastic dish so I could not see the container.
It tasted like fake syrup to me, that bland taste. Normally, with real maple syrup I expect it to be pungent and "maple-ly" tasting, kind of like Laphroaig has a strong taste compared to Oban. Is this not an accurate expectation? Do real maple syrups have a range of tastes, including the bland store bought taste, or do all real syrups have a strong and unmistakable taste?
A:
There is enough variation in maple syrup that grading systems (regionally different) have been introduced, treating each grade as a separate kind of merchandise. Actually, the more expensive stuff (grade A/AA) is subtler and might appear weak to someone used to the more flavourful and darker B/C grades.
Q:
MSVC toolchain is not supported. Please use GNU toolchain
I was trying to debug Rust in CLion when I was greeted with the aforementioned
I updated my toolchain setting to use the suggested default as such:
How can I fix this issue and get CLion to be able to debug Rust code?
I did some searching but haven't found a simple answer (at at least one I can understand easily).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A:
Error message is related about Rust toolchain, if you haven't you need to install gnu toolchain for Rust.
> rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
Then after easiest way to solve this problem set it as default toolchain
> rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
This is for stable channel you are free to use nightly or beta.
A:
As well as Ömer Erden's answer it is worth pointing out that Jetbarins now has an article about how to configure Clion for Rust complete with some tips on what settings are applicable to Rust development.
Debugging Rust Code in CLion
Particularly this paragraph is relevant to the question:
On Windows, go to Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Toolchain
and set either Cygwin or MinGW as your working environment. Then, run
rustup toolchain list and check the first line: it should be one of
the gnu versions matching the bitness of the debugger. For example, if
you’re working on MinGW (32-bit), the default toolchain should be
i686-pc-windows-gnu. If you’re on MinGW64, it should be
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu. You can set the appropriate toolchain by
running rustup default <toolchain_name>.

This book will help broaden ones perspective with new insights concerning our out of the picture, out of mind war. What's unique about this book is how the Author's format captures so much rawness from the areas of operations, giving this book a variety of extreme textures (Euphemism). Furthermore, this book reminds me how as a rule and a practice only young men and women have the nerves to tolerate playing Russian roulette with their lives 24/7 for a couple tours of duty. Applying logic to our newer political war of course won't work, it's a mindbender; but riddle me this: hundreds at first and now thousands of our Fathers, Husbands, Sons, Brothers, Cousins, Uncles, Nephews and Buddies have been killed, mutilated and suffer from p.t.s.d, due to the lack of up-armored humvees, but 1 B-2 stealth bomber costs 1.5 billion dollars, which as of anytime, still has not be used for anything crucial (Just one example). Who's playing the fool ?!, somebody needs to go to Hell. Giving it up for the game is fair , giving it up for phantoms.
These are excellent for lining cupboards or drawers, they are cute and functional.
had big expectations when saw previews, but lacked what i thought would be more exciting and or more paranormal movie.
Good quality and great cost.
I specifically looked for this cover only to find out the phone it described and the phone I had were two different phones. However, the product is as described.
Lois&Clark!!! What a GREAT show I am remember when it first came out on T.V. My family would gather around the television every sunday night to watch it. Of course who wouldn't want to watch superman save the day and bring hope to people. It is an all around great show that is good for everyone. It's a classic I can't wait for it to be on DVD. Please hurry up
Love it!!
Item arrived on time and in great condition. The measuring cups themselves are sturdy and well made.
This is the best product for slow cooking on your store top. It creates a double-boiler effect and whatever you're cooking does not stick or burn. Had one years ago, but it got lost in one of the moves. So glad I found one again. It's exactly what I needed to cook my barbeque sauce on my stove top. Outstanding!
This DVD examines how different animals solve the problem of locamotion. A Madacy DVD, the whole set is well worth having.
This brand is the only brand of fish sauce I've come across that is free of gluten and added sugar ingredients, it's not too heavy but has much flavor.
I can't say much about the Hebrew, but the Persian pronunciation struck me as odd. It was as if she were a heritage speaker of Persian and didn't take the time to tighten up her fluency. Since I didn't want to base this opinion solely on my own judgment, I ran it by some other native Persian-speakers, and we all agree: she sounds weird. I'm sure this is all very | 512 |

reddit | EVERYTHING. Great education, great job opportunities, great investment in their future. Their parents worked their fucking asses off to give their kids everything could. So, go figure that boomers grew up to believe they were the most important person in every room. They wanted more wealth, so they passed laws to create income inequality. They wanted less taxes, so they made sure to gut social programs and education. It's not surprising they were willing to get divorced. Boomers have always been about themselves. Even the way Boomers raised Millennials was selfish. So much of the issues of Millennial is with distress tolerance. We have no clue how to deal with shit. Deal with life. That's because our parents selfishly managed the distressed they experienced when we fucked up by over functioning and over fixing. Everyone gets a trophy shit. Boomers are the Me Generation trying to disguise themselves as the Greatest Generation 2.0

That's the opposite of how fly vs batch sparging actually works. Fly sparging requires that you maintain the flow of sparge water to match the flow draining from your mash tun. That is matched with maintaining a sparge arm or manifold that must be clean/sanitary that also can have even flow at all exits to avoid channeling to occur in your mash while draining. Then you have batch sparging where I just simply drain the mash tun, fill with sparge water and drain again. Move on to the boil. Much less work, and less chance for error. Also it saves time.
> Stephen Calk, chief executive officer of Federal Savings Bank in Chicago, expedited approval of two loans for Manafort totaling $16 million even as he pushed Manafort for help in getting a job with the Trump administration just after the 2016 election, a former bank employee testified. > The witness, Dennis Raico, said Calk asked him shortly after the election to make it known to Manafort that he wanted a job as Treasury secretary or housing secretary. But Raico didn’t call Manafort because “it made me very uncomfortable,” he said. The bank approved a $9.5 million loan for Manafort five days later. > This approval came despite senior officials at the bank saying the loan should be rejected because of questions about Manafort’s ability to repay, Raico told jurors. Calk overruled bank president Javier Ubarri, who said the bank should walk away. CEO overrules bank president on giving Manafort a loan. Bank president detects something fishy, and it turns out that the CEO wants a cabinet job as treasury secretary or secretary of the army which is found out later. CEO to banking president: > “This should be a short conversation,” Ubarri wrote in an email on Oct. 20, 2016, referring to the review of Manafort’s application. “Let’s | 512 |

acceptable token matching (LATM), and the documentation revised so that
LATM is treated as normal, and longest token matching (LTM) is now
treated as an advanced topic. (LTM, for backward compatibility reasons,
remain the default.)
LATM is "smart lexing" -- it means the SLIF uses Marpa knowledge about
the state of the parse to guide the lexer, so that only tokens
acceptable to the parse are looked for. LTM is the tradition because
pre-Marpa parsers weren't smart enough to know which tokens were
acceptable, so they could not guide the lexer. LATM is far easier to
use and more beginner-friendly than LTM. For that matter, it's the
choice experts will almost always make.
This release is, by intention, exactly the same as its release
candidate, except for the change log and the version number. As usual
with these stable, indexed releases, testing is appreciated.

Isnt it amazing how this groups takes all things off on a tangent and
makes the thread loose its original purpose ?
If anyone were to use the search engine to find out when RMS will be
here and where he will meet, he will be totally lost.
I have been ignoring the thread completely (just delete it when mails
come) without a second look.
I just hope no further information on RMS's schedule has been provided
somewhere lurking among all the hot-air bags talking of licensing.
In fact, it has also gone to why new planets are being added to our
solar system !!!!
For those who want to know, the last information I managed to get is
that RMS will be giving a public lecture on Sunday 27th August 2006 at
Patkar Hall, Churchgate. The time has not been given yet.
Dr. Nagarjuna, I hope, will give the final time in a separate thread and
with a separate subject heading or I atleast, will not know about it.

This wouldn't have anything to with the fact that the third parameter in
BitWrPortI is an int, would it? !(BitRdPortI(PEDR, 0)) would have almost all
the bits set unless it was logically ANDed with a mask byte (or word), since
BitRdPortI returns an int. The assembler function specifically targets a
single bit. Does anyone know why Rabbit use an int instead of an unsigned
char?

Namaste,
The Ishvara of patanjali is same as akSara puruSa of gitA.
And Ishvara praNidhAna is no different from highest form of
bhakti.
This is assuming one wants to use yoga sutras in an integrated and
constructive manner with gitA, vedanta - take what you feel is
useful and leave out complicated themes like kaivalya (if it
is taken to mean a final goal in itself).

Hi all,
Is there any way to restrict GWT Designer to only certain packages?
We have a serieus problem with this right now. We have some entity
classes (in the shared package) with annotations. These annotations
are implemented server-side, and we cannot move the classes to the
serverside because we also read/write the entity classes in the client
package. | 512 |
realnews | 2010, the Chong Chon Gang was stopped by Ukrainian authorities who found small-arms ammunition and narcotics aboard the vessel, according to Hugh Griffiths, an arms trafficking expert at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
A year earlier, the ship had stopped in Tartus, Syria, home to a Russian naval base, Griffiths added.
Illinois and Indiana motorists seeking roadside assistance through AAA may have to wait as the motorist club scrambles to respond to hundreds of weather-related requests today.
The club is prioritizing requests from members who are stranded on the road or those who are not in a place of shelter, a standard procedure for extreme weather conditions, said AAA Chicago spokeswoman Beth Mosher. This means AAA might not immediately get to people who are requesting help from home.
So far this morning, the club has received about 200 calls per hour with an average wait time of an hour. The requests run the gamut, ranging from dead car batteries to lockouts to flat tires, Mosher said. About 40 percent of the calls relate to dead batteries, she said.
Call volumes yesterday were fairly normal for a winter day in January, but are steadily increasing today as people return to work.
The number of service requests so far this week, however, are not nearly as bad as the “polar vortex” from two weeks ago, when AAA was receiving between 600 and 650 calls per hour, Mosher said.
“That was extraordinary. We called it unprecedented. We had never seen our call volume reach that level,” she said.

Benchmark index rose 0.7%, closed week at 49,925 points
KARACHI: The benchmark-100 index ended positive in all five sessions, but profit-taking and strong resistance around the 50,000-point level meant the increase was a mere 0.7% week-on-week.
The KSE-100 remained range bound, surpassing 50,000 multiple times amid undergoing volatile trading across all five sessions but eventually finished at 49,925 points. Investors opted to tread with caution as confidence and liquidity waned amid Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan’s (SECP) compliance requirements with brokers taking a step back. The regulator is clamping down on in-house financing, however, sentiments gained some respite as a US judge suspended the executive order that banned travellers from seven Muslim countries.
Despite political uncertainty not playing a part this week, results and sector-specific news were the only triggers this week.
Financial sector performed as excitement built over the upcoming results season with Habib Bank Limited amongst the top performers of the sector. However, MCB posted below-expected earnings per share (EPS) of Rs19.67 which led the stock into negative territory.
Among blue chips, Pakistan State Oil posted an EPS of Rs20.75 for 2QFY17 (beating analyst expectations) while on the other hand, Engro Fertilizer posted an EPS of Rs6.78 for the year ended CY16. Nishat Mills Limited was also among investors’ favourites after it announced its plan set up an automobile manufacturing plant in collaboration with Hyundai.
Overall, activity remained low in the blue chips while retail activity was mainly witnessed in the side stocks. Interest was seen in fertiliser, oil & gas marketing | 512 |
s2orc | mill. The grit designation P150 was used for the p-CA and the s-CA and for the f-CA P1000 (the higher the number is, the finer the sand particles on the sandpaper). The powder which was produced through the grinding was collected and analyzed. For milling in a shaker cryo-mill, 6850 Freezer/Mill (SPEX CertiPrep, U.S.A.) was used. All samples were milled 20 times for 2 min while being cooled with liquid nitrogen at 77 K. Between each repetition, a break of 1 min was taken. For milling in a planetary ball mill, PULVERISETTE 7 (FRITSCH GmbH, Germany) with 16 zirconia balls and 700 rpm was used. The milling time and the number of repetitions (as shown in Table 2) were varied. Due to different mechanical properties of the synthesized carbon aerogels-from very soft to stiff and ductile-the milling duration and the number of repetitions vary for different aerogels. The samples were milled until a homogeneous powder was observed. The homogeneity of powder was estimated with the naked eye. The size of powder particles was compared; if some large granules could be observed, the milling was continued or repeated until the particles are of the same size. Between each repetition, a break of 3 min was taken.
Characterization of carbon aerogels
The skeletal densities were measured using an AccuPyc instrument based on a displacement measurement technique (Micromeritics, Germany). The specific surface area, mesopore size distribution, mesopore volume, and micropore volume of aerogels were determined at

the emergency department after being found on the floor surrounded by multiple open alcohol bottles. He was a poor historian but reported a previous fall. Vitals on presentation were BP 109/70, HR 110, RR 22, SpO2 of 90% on room air, and rectal temperature of 97.6 F. The remainder of the exam revealed he was alert and oriented to self and place but not time; his neck was supple and no thyroid masses were palpated; he had tremors, head swelling and abdominal tenderness. Labs demonstrated CPK 1300 U/L, Creatinine 1.0 mg/dl, glucose 120 mg/dl, and sodium 142 mmol; urine toxicology was negative and alcohol level was not elevated. He was admitted and treated for suspected alcohol withdrawal and rhabdomyolysis with intravenous fluids and benzodiazepines. However, his mental status continued to decline; he became obtunded and was hypothermic and bradycardic. Thyroid function tests (TFT) revealed TSH 98.9 uIU/mL with free T4 0.27 ng/dl. He was subsequently managed for myxedema coma and given IV levothyroxine and hydrocortisone. He improved clinically after initiation of therapy and was transitioned to oral thyroid replacement. The patient was pending discharge to sub-acute rehab however his hospital course was later complicated by aspiration pneumonia. | 512 |
