Timetravel fics - unafraid of altering the time-line | Now I've read quite a few time-travel fics, and I have enjoyed some of them more than others. Those I tend to favour all throw the notion of preserving the time-line out the window.
Show me the ones you like - Whether they be fics of Harry sending memories back in time, or him traveling back in time.
Personally some of the ones I've liked the best have been with Harry going back in time as a DADA teacher in the 70ties, but they have a tendency of not changing time, and I often find myself abandoning them halfway through. Just having him angsting a bit about not being able to change anything is quite annoying to say the least. What I would really like to see, is him trying his hardest to change things for the better, but keeping up the role of a fighter, not a manipulative bastard. | reddit_title_body |

A top Spanish court suspends Catalonia's referendum on independence .
The vote was set this weekend for November 9 .
The federal government filed a lawsuit calling the vote unconstitutional . | A referendum over Catalonia's future as a part of Spain has been put on hold. Spain's Constitutional Court on Monday suspended the planned referendum on independence for Spain's Catalonia region set to happen on November 9, a court spokeswoman told CNN. The court has suspended the referendum as it consider the grounds of a lawsuit issued by Spain's federal government that challenged the planned independence vote as "unconstitutional." The President of the Catalonia region, Artur Mas, on Saturday had signed a decree setting the date for the vote. Even before the Constitutional Court suspended the plan, the federal government had made it clear that it any such referendum. A legal and political confrontation was expected. The next move is in Catalonia's hand -- and whether its leaders decide to go ahead with the vote anyway. The holding of Scotland's independence referendum earlier this month buoyed other separatist movements around the world, despite Scottish voters opting to remain part of the United Kingdom. Mas has said that Catalonia wants to speak, wants to be heard and wants to vote. On September 11, Catalan national day, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Barcelona for the third year running demanding a vote on independence be held. But Madrid argues that Catalonia, which represents one fifth of Spain's economy, already has broad home-rule powers, including its own parliament, police force and control over education and health. And it insists that the Spanish Constitution does not allow any of Spain's 17 regions to unilaterally break away. Catalonia is a region of northeastern Spain, with Barcelona -- the second-largest city in Spain -- as its capital. A referendum is expected to ask a two-part question: "Should Catalonia be a state?" And those who vote yes to that can then go to vote on the second question: "Should that state be independent?" Polls indicate that a majority of Catalans want to have a chance to vote but that less than a majority would vote for independence, given the chance. | cnn |
when did the model city program begin in saint paul | Summit-University, Saint Paul kind of Great Society social experiment given the wide mix of social groups, a history of effective community politics, and enough social and physical decay to interest the bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. the availability of more federal money provided a big incentive for an area to be declared a demonstration project for the Model Cities program. In Saint Paul this idea was pushed from two quarters: city government under the directions of Saint Paul Mayor Thomas R.

Ultrafast domain wall propagation due to the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction | It is shown that the interplay between curvature and interfacial Dzyalonshinsky–Moriya interaction (DMI) is a pathway to ultrafast domain wall (DW) dynamics in ferromagnetic nanotubes. In this work, we theoretically study the effect that interfacial DMI has on the average velocity of a vortex DW in thin ferromagnetic nanotubes grown around a core composed of heavy atoms. Our main result shows that by delaying the Walker breakdown instability, the DW average velocity is of the order of 103 m s−1, which is greater than usual values for these systems. The remarkable velocities achieved through this configuration could greatly benefit the development of spintronic devices. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Informal Poll with those of you using MoviePass: What, if any, problems are you encountering and how often? | Have you experienced any MoviePass issues?
What kind? How often?
Are they theatre related or app related?
How as your customer service experience been?
I have been using MoviePass for 3 months. It's a great deal if you like to go to the movies and you see at least 3-4 movies a month. So far I've seen at least 6 per month. For the most part I like it as I get to see every single movie I want to see and don't have to decide what is "worth" seeing and what should be wait for video.
However, a whole bunch of times now I've had issues where the app wouldn't take the reservation OR it took the reservation but the card wouldn't go through. To me, it's totally humiliating if the card is declined so I always try to use the kiosk, but they don't have those at every theatre.
At first I was standing in front of the theatre and calling customer service, but fuck that, I was tired of waiting on hold for 10 minutes in some cases and I didn't want to miss my movie or end up with shitty seats.
Now I don't even bother with calling, I just use my phone to take a pic of the ticket I paid for and send a refund request to the support email. So far have had no problem getting a refund, but it's kind of a pain and I have to keep checking my card to see if the refund shows up after 4-5 days.
A friend of mine who lives about 45 minutes away gets the same error when he and his GF to to one particular AMC theatre where the program is supposed to work. They get the same error every single time. They've been encountering the problem for months but it still hasn't been fixed. They too have to pay cash & get a refund every time they go to that theatre.
For those of you who don't know, MoviePass is a netflix-like subscription to movie theatres. [Full Disclosure, that's my invite-link and you get a free month if 3 people sign up under you, but it's invite-only or "wait for an invite when you sign up for one" at this point.] You need a smart phone, you can see 1 movie per day, can't see the same movie twice and it doesn't cover 3D or IMAX. In my area it's $35/month. | reddit_title_body |

Kičevo Monastery | The Monastery of St. Bogorodica Prečista (Immaculate Mother of God) (Macedonian: Света Богородица Пречиста, Sveta Bogorodica Prečista) is a Macedonian Orthodox monastery situated near the city of Kicevo, North Macedonia. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, Mother of God.
In 1924 Dositej, later the first Archbishop of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, became a monk in this monastery. The monastery is also famous for the legend of the 'flying icon' that was moved three times to another monastery and, allegedly, miraculously returned by itself to the original place, guided by a ray of light. The feast of the monastery is Mala Bogorodica, (Birthday of Virgin Mary on September 21).

Stereoselective Synthesis ofcis- andtrans-2,3-Disubstituted Tetrahydrofurans via Oxonium−Prins Cyclization: Access to the Cordigol Ring System | SnBr4-promoted oxonium−Prins cyclizations to form 2,3-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans (THFs) are reported. In the absence of an internal nucleophile, the carbocation intermediates are trapped by bromide to give 2,3-cis- and 2,3-trans-configured products; two variations with intramolecular trapping are also reported. One of these allows a single-step stereocontrolled synthesis of the core 2,3-cis-THF ring system of cordigol, a fungicidal polyphenol from the stem bark of Cordia goetzei. For this latter transformation, a stepwise oxonium−Prins/cation trapping pathway rather than orthoquinonemethide formation/hetero-Diels−Alder cycloaddition is supported computationally. | s2orc_title_abstract |

So far not so good... Update: Runs small and NO traction on greasy/wet floors! | I'll be up front, this is not a thorough or even completely fair review of these boots. I just received my pair in the mail a day or two ago and haven't even fully put them on to see if they fit, etc... yet. The reason I'm leaving this one star review is because while I was attempting to do this, one of the included laces broke while I was tightening them to tie the boot. All but snapped in two. To be honest I'm not surprised, because I thought that the laces felt kind of cheap/flimsy before the one that snapped even had a chance to break. The overwhelming majority of other reviews give the impression that these are very "tough" (but comfortable) boots, which is exactly what I want and they may yet be that, but it's hugely disappointing that the manufacturer would skimp on quality laces and allow people to have such a bad first impression of these boots over so small a piece of the overall product which, I reiterate, many other reviewers have expressed high levels of satisfaction with.
I plan on getting a pair of boot laces from the neighborhood grocery store so I can give these boots a second try within the next day or two, and will update my review after doing so.
UPDATE 4/17/2017 :::: Got some replacement laces only to find out that the boot is slightly too small for comfort, as some other reviewers have noted. Exchanged for correct size and wore these boots to work only to find out that the "slip & oil-resistant outsole" is not so slip OR oil resistant and DO NOT provide "great traction on all terrains and surfaces." I work in the kitchen of a fairly busy diner and there is usually a good chunk of grease on the floor from about a hundred different potential sources, making a good pair of truly slip resistant shoes an indispensable asset on the job. Sadly, these boots don't even provide good traction on a plain old wet floor, and I was slipping and sliding even while mopping the floor, moving my feet by exerting force on the mop as much as I was moving the mop by exerting force using my feet. All this left my right foot spazzing out after the night was finally over because of the fact that it was constantly trying in vain to adjust for the fact that my feet were sliding off in god only knows what direction. My last pair of shoes, a Dr. Scholl's leather work shoe that I only replaced because the sole was starting to fall off, could handle this task just fine, so I was confident that a boot highly rated by a multitude of police/EMT/firemen, etc... would definitely be up to par. The worst part of finding this out was realizing that, because I had now worn them outside of a "testing safe" area that would definitely put them in "worn" condition, I probably won't be able to return them and/or get my money back for these boots that don't live up to the promises of their manufacturer. | amazon_reviews |

Allylic prepolymers from brassylic and azelaic acids | Diallyl brassylate (DAB), a new monomer, and diallyl azelate (DAA) were converted to new prepolymers for comparison with analogous commercial products from diallyl o-and m-phthalate (DAMP). Respective prepolymers from DAB and DAA had Mn 28,000 and 40,000 and contained approximately 0.8 free allyl moiety per repeating unit. Only the DAB prepolymer exhibited crystallinity at low temperatures as detected by differential scanning calorimetry and x-ray diffraction. Aliphatic prepolymers have greater heat stability than aromatic ones and evolve fewer calories per double bond during curing than reported for DAMP prepolymer. Low shrinkage (<1%) on curing and clear, hard end products indicate the potential of aliphatic prepolymers as thermosetting plastics. Their liquid state at room temperature should be advantageous in many applications. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Penn State team receives $50,000 grant for breast cancer research | Please enable Javascript to watch this video
DERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- A team of researchers at the Penn State Cancer Institute has $50,000 to advance its research on breast cancer, thanks to a grant from the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition.
Dr. Nancy Lill, Ph.D. accepted the grant Tuesday morning. She says the money will fund her team's research on aggressive forms of breast cancer called triple-negatives. Specifically, Dr. Lill's team plans to advance its work on anti-cancer compounds, known as schweinfurthin analogues, that could eventually treat types of breast cancer that are resistant to chemotherapy.
"The $50,000 will cover one year of research in the laboratory," said Dr. Lill, "in order to establish the proof principal that these might be useful and to understand how they work."
37 women in Pennsylvania are diagnosed with breast cancer every day. The Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition will award $150,000 in grants this year, to breast cancer researchers across the state. | ccnews |
Evidence of a Transition from Nonlinear to Linear Screening of a Two-Dimensional Electron System Detected by Photoluminescence Spectroscopy | We clearly identify single-electron-localization (SEL), nonlinear screening (NLS), and linear screening (LS) regimes of gate induced electrons in a GaAs quantum well from photoluminescence spectra and intergate capacitance. Neutral and charged excitons observed in the SEL regime rapidly lose their oscillator strength when electron puddles are formed, which mark the onset of NLS. A further increase in the density of the electrons induces the transition from the NLS to LS, where the emission of a charged exciton changes to the recombination of two-dimensional electron gas and a hole. | s2orc_title_abstract |

An analysis with SEM of the mouth parts of 16 species belonging to 10 genera of Gnathostomulida resulted in the following new characters and conclusions: 1) At least in the genus Haplognathia, jaw teeth that are visible by conventional light microscopy are composed of the same aggregated needle-like denticles that are found, often in large numbers, on the basal plates of many filospermoid species. 2) Other new ultrastructural tooth features include the tricuspid basal plate teeth in Problognathia minima, tripartite teeth in Austrognathia and Austrognatharia, and the clear separation, in the Gnathostomula basal plate, of a mediodorsal set of teeth from a more extensive rostroventral set. 3) Three rows of teeth, as typical for Gnathostomulidae and Austrognathiidae, are also present in the filospermoid Haplognathia filum. 4) The wide range of geographic variation in Haplognathia ruberrima is confirmed by significant differences in jaw teeth between specimens from Belize and Bermuda. 5) A compartmentalized involucrum is present in Labidgonathia longicollis. 6) A pair of lamellae addentales, until now only known from Valvognathia pogonostoma, was found in Tenuignathia rikerae, Problognathia minima, and probably also Labidognathia rikerae. 7) In all gnathostomulids, the lamella symphysis is composed of identical rods that are considered homologous with those in the mouth parts of Rotifera and Micrognathozoa. | The marine microscopic jaw worms, Gnathostomulida, belong to the early branching spiralian lineage Gnathifera and consist of two main clades—Filospermoidea and Bursovaginoidea. Previous studies of gnathostomulid musculature focused on the bursovaginoid taxa, and only LM and TEM techniques were employed in the previous investigations of two filospermoids, Haplognathia simplex and Pterognathia swedmarki. In the present study, we used F-actin staining combined with CLSM to reconstruct the musculature of H. simplex and H. filum and found far-reaching similarities in their jaw musculature. In addition to known pharyngeal muscles we found new apophyseal abductors not uncovered in bursovaginoid gnathostomulids, but which resemble certain muscles of the sister group (Micrognathozoa + Rotifera) and may present an autapomorphy of Gnathifera. The body wall musculature exhibits greater interspecific variation: H. simplex possesses a simple grid of thick longitudinal and thin circular muscles, whereas H. filum shows a very sparse body wall musculature devoid of circular fibers, a pattern similar to another interstitial worm, the enigmatic annelid Lobatocerebrum. The flexibility gained hereby may similarly represent an adaptation and restriction to ciliary gliding among sand grains. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

MoD bought 4million bullets despite reduction in troop numbers in Helmand .
Around half will be wasted as they are unlikely to be fired by use-by date .
Official magazine compared blunder to family having to throw out old food . | By . Rosie Taylor . PUBLISHED: . 09:42 EST, 20 July 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 09:46 EST, 20 July 2013 . Wasted: The MoD has bought 2million too many bullets for troops in Afghanistan this year (stock image) The Ministry of Defence has bought twice as many bullets as it needs for troops in Afghanistan, at a cost to taxpayers of around £500,000. The department has ordered around four million bullets, despite the fact that forces will be slowly withdrawn from Helmand province throughout the year. The MoD has said it expects it will need only around 50 per cent of the bullets as troop numbers are reduced from 8,000 soldiers to around 5,000. But it has admitted it is tied into contracts - described as 'committed purchases in the system based on previous estimates' - which means it has had to pay for the full amount. The extra bullets cannot be saved for future conflicts as they have a use-by date after which the propellant perishes and they become useless. The MoD has already started recycling 400 tonnes of brass ammunition casings to save costs after installing a furnace at Camp Bastion. Out-of-date bullets are also being destroyed at a facility in Sweden, which aims to recycle 95 per cent of the material. But the department has admitted there are 'limited outlets for reusing ammunition' and that it is attempting to negotiate selling surplus bullets back to manufacturers. In an article in the government department's own magazine, Defence Focus, the 2million wasted bullets are compared to a family having to throw out mouldy yoghurts. 'It happens in every household,' the report said. 'You get to the end of the week, and you . are cursing yourself for buying all those yoghurts you haven’t eaten. And despite being determined to keep the housekeeping costs under . control, yet again you are pitching out products past their sell by . date.' The purchasing of ammunition is organised by the Defence General Munitions project team, part of the MoD's Weapons Operating Centre. Conflict: The number of troops in Afghanistan is being reduced from 8,000 to around 5,000 this year . The DGM's Colonel Richard Aspray told Defence Focus: 'Supplying safe and suitable munitions to meet operational and . training requirements while reducing your spend and using up your . stockpile holdings means striking a very fine balance. 'Buy too much and your stockpile goes up, buy too little and you risk . putting personnel in danger of running low at a critical moment.' An MoD spokesman: 'It is wrong to suggest that the MoD has been wasteful. No-one would want our troops to run out of ammunition whilst on operations and we have to plan for the worst possible scenarios – it is clearly better to have more than enough ammunition than not enough.' | cnn |

COMBINED THERAPY IN MALIGNANT LYMPHOMA | Despite the increasing availability of new and useful chemotherapeutic agents, it should be restated that the primary treatment for localized malignant lymphoma is radiation therapy. When disease is more advanced, experience has suggested broad guide lines favoring radiation therapy alone, combined therapy, or chemotherapy alone in the treatment of certain clinical settings. The need for teamwork in patient evaluation and treatment and future continued investigation is paramount. | s2orc_title_abstract |
