A classic hymnal and a treasure | Certain hymnals across the denominational spectrum only last for a short time. The Pilgrim Hymnal out of the Congregational, Reformed and Free church traditions breaks that expectation. This is a resource that gone beyond a generational hymnal and is a worship resource that will last for centuries on end. Every pastor, seminarian, church musician or lay person should acquire a copy to call their own so they can appreciate the breath and depth of this resource and why so many congregations today in the United Church of Christ (UCC), The National Association of Congregational Christian Churches (NACCC), the Conservative Congregational Christian Churches (CCCC) and beyond have used this resource in prayer, contemplation and praise. For a hymnal of its age the Pilgrim Hymnal is quite ecumenical and diverse in terms of what it offers. There are some standard hymns that are not in here (i.e. Amazing Grace) but the gold still shines through it. As a seminarian in the UCC and the Disciples of Christ, this hymnal I will recommend to anyone. The NACCC Congregationalists developed a wonderful and worthy successor to the Pilgrim Hymnal known as Hymns for a Pilgrim People (acquired through GIA). I have copies of both these wonderful books and get them while you can. | amazon_reviews |
what religion was florence shoemaker thompson | Florence Shoemaker Thompson carry out her duties, but being a devout Christian was concerned about her standing with the church should she follow through with the hanging. Her friend and confidant, Father Albert J. Thompson, priest at an Owensboro church, assured her she could perform all of her duties, including the execution and remain in good standing with the church. As news of the hanging got around, she was bombarded with reporters. They anticipated Florence Thompson to do the actual execution, which would make her the first American woman to kill a man by court order. The journalists nicknamed Thompson as "The Hangwoman" | paq |

what is used to test the resistance of tilletia caries to bunt | there is a longer period of more favorable temperatures for teliospore germination than compared to the planting season for spring wheat. There are no current wheat cultivars on the market with good resistance to common bunt. However, there have been research efforts that utilize DNA marking of resistant cultivars in the attempt to understand the specific genes that code for resistance against common bunt. This may be applied for future breeding of commercially available resistant wheat crop. Tilletia caries Tilletia caries (synonymous with Tilletia tritici) is a basidiomycete that causes common bunt of wheat. The common names of this disease | paq |
when did laos start cooperating with the us on drug issues | Drug policy in Laos In 1994, Laos was the world's third largest producer of opium, primarily in the northern provinces. Narcotics trafficking in Laos is difficult to control because of the remoteness of many border areas, their attendant lack of communications, and the scarcity of resources, all of which make stationing officials at many of the border crossings difficult. Several counternarcotics policy initiatives have been undertaken. During the late 1980s, narcotics control became an important United States concern, because Laos is a major producer of opium and marijuana. In 1987 Laos began to cooperate with the United States in drug | paq |

MEASUREMENT OF STRAIN AND POLARIZATION IN PIEZOELECTRIC AND ELECTROSTRICTIVE ACTUATORS | This paper describes an economical measurement system that was developed to characterize piezoelectric and electrostrictive materials and actuators for smart structure systems. Strain measurement is performed using a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT). Absolute displacement is determined over a ±1.25 mm range with 16-bit resolution. The system’s high-voltage amplifier has a peak voltage range of ± 4,000V, allowing measurements to be performed on devices with either thin or thick active layers. Polarization measurement is based on the Sawyer-Tower circuit. High-voltage protection devices prevent damage to major system components from unwanted breakdown events in the device under test (DUT). The system software offers high versatility in waveform generation and test sequencing. Test results are presented for both hard and soft piezoelectric ceramics over a broad range of test conditions below and above the coercive field limit of the active materials. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Pitiful collection-Shame on Richard Russo | This was one of the worst BASS collections I've read in awhile, maybe ever. I'm saddened by the lack of cultural diversity in the anthology-all stories were written by white writers- and by the seemingly uniform style of the writing. None of the reviewers here on Amazon seem to have noticed that fact which is highly disturbing! Shame on Richard Russo for not noticing or not caring that he was giving us such a homogeneous set of stories. A few of the stories had distinct local flavor, taking place in Boston, the South, Florida, NYC, etc... and I definitely appreciated the details of those lives and communities. The best stories were "All Boy" by Lori Ostlund, "The Hollow" by James Lasdun, "The Cousins" by Charles Baxter and the stories by Karen Russell, Steve Almond and Wells Tower. In fact, all the other stories were terrible, like waste of time terrible with the exception of Rebecca Makkai's story. Does anyone remember BASS 2003? That collection had some truly remarkable stories by an eclectic group of talented writers. My fingers are crossed that BASS 2011 will put this one to shame. | amazon_reviews |

Multifunctional EuYVO4 nanoparticles coated with mesoporous silica | Abstract Mesoporous structures are interesting materials for the incorporation of dyes, drugs, and luminescent systems, leading to materials with important multifunctionalities. In a very unique way, these guest/host materials combine the high stability of inorganic systems, new guest-structuring features, and adsorption mechanisms in their well-defined pores. This work evaluates the luminescent properties of rare earth-doped YVO 4 nanoparticles coated with a mesoporous silica shell. The use of two different synthesis methodologies allowed for particle size control. The crystalline phase emerged without further heat treatment. The mesoporous shell decreased undesirable quenching effects on YVO 4 :Eu 3+ nanoparticles and rendered them biocompatible. The materials prepared herein could have interesting applications as luminescent markers or drug release systems. | s2orc_title_abstract |
Improving the sintering behavior of mesocarbon-microbeads for the manufacture of high quality carbon products using a joint promoter comprising carbon black and glycidyl methacrylate | Abstract Carbon-black (CB) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) were used together as a joint promoter to improve the quality of sintered mesocarbon products. The results show that, in addition to inhibiting the condensation of β-resin at ∼200 °C, GMA reduces the formation of volatile pyrolysis products during MCMB sintering at ∼300–550 °C, while CB accelerates pyrolysis and lowers the temperature at which the evolution of volatile components begins. Our observations suggest that a cooperative effect, between CB and GMA, improves sintering behavior during sintered mesocarbon product manufacture, resulting in the formation of carbonized carbon blocks with high bending strengths (142 MPa) and high densities (1.87 g cm −3 ). | s2orc_title_abstract |

The modem is also a VOIP box and has a battery back up, so it seems that the problem is that when I remove power from the modem (per router instructions), it is not truly powering down and restarting.
My question is, what can I do to make this work? Would it work to reset the modem (using reset button on back) as opposed to powering off and back on? If so, what order do I need to power all items down and back up (modem, router, computer)?
As you can probably tell, I am not super computer savvy, so if you start talking about cloning MAC codes and IP addresses, I am going to be even more lost. Layman's terms please.
Thanks in advance. | reddit_title_body |

Quercetin/bromelain use associated with increased liver enzymes | Pharmacists and physicians have a vital role to play in the monitoring of patients on alternative/herbal medication. Contrary to popular belief, natural medications do not necessarily mean safe medications. Many alternative/herbal medications have adverse effects that are not well known or well documented. As such, health care professionals should cautiously guide patient use of alternative/herbal medications. This case report describes an adverse reaction associated with the use of quercetin containing bromelain in a patient with non-small cell carcinoma of the lung. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Researching Medical Marijuana May Soon Get Easier | Researchers hoping to study marijuana for scientific and medical purposes are one step closer to expanding their limited supply of the plant. This week, the federal government announced it would begin processing dozens of pending applications for permission to cultivate the plant for scientific research. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's decision comes after several years of delay for some applicants and a lawsuit filed against the agency by one cannabis researcher. "I am pleased that DEA is moving forward with its review of applications for those who seek to grow marijuana legally to support research," said Attorney General William Barr in the statement on Monday. Barr said the Department of Justice will continue to work to improve research opportunities wherever it can. Even as many states have legalized marijuana for recreational and medical use, scientists who want to conduct rigorous studies of the plant still have only one place where they can get it: a facility at the University of Mississippi, which contracts with the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This arrangement, which has existed for more than 50 years, amounts to a "monopoly," says Dr. Sue Sisley who heads the Scottsdale Research Institute in Arizona, which studies cannabis. "The bottom line is scientists need access to options," says Sisley. Monday's announcement is a long-awaited follow-up to an earlier policy change. In 2016, the federal government signaled an end to limiting research on cannabis to only one grower when the DEA announced a policy change allowing new cultivators. More than 30 organizations, including Sisley's, applied for a license to grow cannabis for research purposes. But the agency didn't act on the applications, so earlier this year, Sisley filed a lawsuit in federal court demanding it take action. The government's latest decision to move forward on the applications arrives just ahead of the court's deadline for the agency to respond to Sisley's lawsuit. "We're cautiously optimistic," says Matt Zorn, who represents the Scottsdale Research Institute in the lawsuit. "It's a positive first step because we were stuck in a kind of administrative limbo." Marijuana's status as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, which is reserved for drugs with "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse," has hindered scientific research into its clinical applications. Zorn calls it a "catch-22." "On the one hand, you can't do the research with good, high-quality cannabis because it's a Schedule 1 drug. On the other, it's a Schedule 1 because nobody can really do the research," he says. But how soon aspiring growers will actually get the green light from the agency remains unclear. In its filing, DEA announced it will be introducing new rules for its program on growing marijuana for scientific and medical research — before deciding on any application. This additional step has left some advocates for marijuana reform skeptical about whether the DEA's latest decision indicates real progress. In a blog post on his group's website, NORML Executive Director Erik Altieri says he believes the agency's "foot-dragging will continue." "For the past three years, the DEA has failed to take any steps to follow through on its promise to facilitate clinical cannabis research," writes Altieri. Sisley's other attorney, Shane Pennington, says the agency's latest public statements "that it is behind scientific research to get to the bottom of the safety and efficacy of marijuana is a very big deal." Given the years of delay, Pennington says researchers aren't taking anything for granted yet. "I have high hopes, but I'll believe it when I see it," he says. "Since the announcement appears to be in response to pending litigation, it's more likely that they will actually begin to move on this, in response to the pressure from the courts," University of Washington School of Law professor Karen Boxx said via email. Members of Congress are increasingly taking notice of the DEA's slow progress in bolstering the supply of research-grade marijuana. In May, a bipartisan group of 30 members of the U.S. House sent a letter to Barr and the DEA's acting administrator, Uttam Dhillon, urging them "to do whatever you can to speed up and improve the research application process" in order to "provide better raw materials for research." Even if the federal government acts quickly and starts approving applications, Sisley cautions, it could still take several years for operators to begin producing cannabis that is up to research standards. "We haven't really won anything until scientists are finally utilizing real-world cannabis flower in their clinical trials," she says. Sisley recently completed a clinical trial, under FDA guidance, testing smoked marijuana as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder in military veterans. She says she was disappointed by the cannabis she had to use for the study, which came from the Mississ | npr |
I need help with three things (guy stuff) | 1) Whenever I get with someone it feels fake, even if I like him a lot. Someone told me it's cause I'm not ready for a bf ,but I want one. I don't know what it is but it's like we're acting that we like each other, but we're not. help? I love just hugging a guy and stay hugging or linking arms with a guy, I guess you could say I like being close to another person? I went to a football game last night and links arms with my friend (guy) and didn't realize it, his ex thinks he likes me. help? (this guy ^ is not the same as the guy that I talk about later , and I don't like this ^ guy)
2)There's a boy in my 1 period (he's a sophomore, I'm freshmen), I have wood shop so the seats are different (i could post a picture of what they look like if you want) I see the back of his head and his friends can see me looking at him. one day his friends told him something and they started laughing and looking at me and he looked at my shoes and laughed again. I was confused. -Now you need to know is me and my friend talk about him and giggle the same way he did- That day was when it started, he used to ignore me and then he would smirk at me or we would roll up papers and hit each other,he would turn around out of no where to look at me then smirk. now he sits where I can see his face it drives me crazy and I'm pretty sure he knows it,too. He would talk to me one day and ignore me the next?? I don't know what's up, does he know I like him? I'm clueless. please help.

More than 80 people arrested at drilling site in Barton Moss near Salford .
But Chief Superintendent Mark Roberts says majority don't live locally .
He says they're not even there to protest against fracking .
Residents are 'close to tears' over disruption and have had enough .
In Sussex, Cuadrilla says no fracking will take place at protest site there .
But the firm submits new planning application to council . | By . Sarah Womack . Most people arriving at a long-running anti-fracking protest are there to 'disrupt and intimidate' locals and antagonise police, a police chief said today. More than 80 people have been arrested at a drilling site in Barton Moss on the outskirts of Salford, Greater Manchester. Of the 82 people held, 62 are from outside the Greater Manchester area and many are from the south of England, according to Greater Manchester Police. Most people arriving at an anti-fracking protest near Salford are there to disrupt and intimidate people, and don't even live locally, said Chief Superintendent Mark Roberts . A number of those detained have been arrested before at Barton Moss or other protest sites, the force said. Chief Superintendent Mark Roberts said: 'At the start of this protest the majority of protesters were peaceful and law-abiding, but over the past couple of weeks local residents and officers have seen a distinct change to this. 'It now seems that the majority of people who are arriving at the site are not there to protest against fracking, but are there to disrupt and intimidate the local community and to antagonise police.' The people arriving at Barton Moss are there to 'antagonise police', says police chief Mark Roberts . A protestor at the anti-fracking protest. More than 80 people have been arrested at a drilling site in Barton Moss. Police and ambulance crew at Barton Moss. Mr Roberts said the force had recorded offences of assault, damage, harassment of residents and workers, a flare fired at the police helicopter and threats to kill. 'I attended a residents’ meeting last week and people there were close to tears and have had enough of this daily disruption to their lives,' he continued. 'Locals, who initially supported the protesters, out walking their dogs and driving down Barton Moss Road have been approached by protesters in balaclavas and have been questioned by them, which has been extremely intimidating. 'Officers are verbally abused on a daily basis, one has even been spat at and another officer required stitches to his hand after trying to get a protester down from a fence.' Since November around 60 tents and caravans have sprung up along the farm track leading to the site, between Barton Aerodrome and the M62. Environmentalists claim there is indisputable evidence that fracking causes air and water pollution and leads to earth tremors. The Government and industry say it is safe, and will create jobs. Meanwhile no fracking will take place at a site in West Sussex which was at the centre of large-scale protests last year, energy company Cuadrilla told residents. Hundreds of anti-fracking activists set up camp last summer after Cuadrilla started exploratory drilling on the outskirts of Balcombe. In a letter to Balcombe residents from Cuadrilla chief executive Francis Egan, he said the rock underneath the drill site, at Lower Stumble, was already naturally fractured, and the company had no intention of fracking there. However, although Mr Egan ruled out fracking at the site, Cuadrilla’s association with Balcombe is by no means at an end. In his letter, published by Balcombe Parish Council, Mr Egan said Cuadrilla had submitted a new planning application to West Sussex County Council to complete flow testing of oil from the exploration well. Over the summer, the firm drilled horizontally for some 1,700ft through Micrite formation, a type of limestone, at a depth of around 2,350ft below ground level. Mr Egan wrote: 'We were expecting to - and did indeed find - oil in the Micrite. However, without testing we cannot be sure at what rate the oil may flow to the surface.' This week it was revealed that the cost to taxpayers of policing the lengthy anti-fracking protests at Balcombe was nearly £4 million. | cnn |

This study was performed to examine the prevalence and clinical correlates of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (BPI-ANCA) in pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and to elucidate their possible role in CF pulmonary pathology. Sera of 27 CF patients were tested for ANCA by indirect immunofluorescence (IFT) and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for ANCA sub-specificities. BPI-ANCA were examined by using standard ELISA for BPI, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), and BPI/LBP fusion proteins to epitope map the main binding sites and look for cross-reactivity with LBP. Pulmonary function and serum concentrations of total immunoglobulin G (IgG) were measured and infections were diagnosed. In addition, release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by neutrophil granulocytes was measured after stimulation with monoclonal BPI-ANCA. Using IFT, two patients showed atypical ANCA staining, six patients exhibited perinuclear ANCA staining, and no cytoplasmic ANCA staining was detected. Of 27 patients, 13 (48%) were BPI-ANCA (IgG) positive, and three were also immunoglobulin A (IgA) BPI-ANCA positive; one patient had ANCA against lactoferrin; and no proteinase 3 ANCA was detected in any of the patients. All BPI-ANCA bound to the C-terminal region of the molecule; none bound to the N-terminus or to LBP. There was no significant correlation between clinical data and the occurrence of BPI-ANCA in this cross-sectional study. Release of ROS from granulocytes was induced by monoclonal BPI-ANCA. Activation of neutrophils and possible modulation of BPI-mediated opsonophagocytosis and disposal of Gram-negative bacteria and lipopolysaccharides by BPI-ANCA raise the possibility that they contribute to pulmonary pathology in pediatric CF patients but intervention longitudinal studies in large groups of patients are needed to establish a causative association. | In cystic fibrosis (CF), the condition limiting the prognosis of affected children is the chronic obstructive lung disease accompanied by chronic and persistent infection with mostly mucoid strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The majority of CF patients have antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) primarily directed against the bactericidal permeability-increasing protein (BPI) potentially interfering with antimicrobial effects of BPI. We analyzed the expression of BPI in the airways of patients with CF. In their sputum samples or bronchoalveolar lavage specimens, nearly all patients expressed BPI mRNA and protein, which were mainly products of neutrophil granulocytes as revealed by intracellular staining and subsequent flow cytometry. Repeated measurements revealed consistent individual BPI expression levels during several months quantitatively correlating with interleukin-8. In vitro, P. aeruginosa isolates from CF patients initiated the rapid release of BPI occurring independently of protein de novo syntheses. Furthermore, purified natural BPI as well as a 27-mer BPI-derived peptide displayed antimicrobial activity against even patient-derived mucoid P. aeruginosa strains and bacteria resistant against all antibiotics tested. Thus, BPI that is functionally active against mucoid P. aeruginosa strains is expressed in the airways of CF patients but may be hampered by autoantibodies, resulting in chronic infection. | s2orc_abstract_citation |
Absolute energy measurement in e/sup -/e/sup +/ colliders | A technique based on the Compton scattering of linearly polarized visible light is proposed for measuring the absolute energy of an electron beam in a linear collider. In the vicinity of 90 degrees in the rest frame of the electron the ratio of the cross-section for different linear light polarizations depends strongly on the absolute energy of the beam. This is especially true when the backscattering rates with light polarized perpendicular to the scattering plane is compared with light polarized in the scattering plane. As a result, the absolute energy of the beam can be determined to a high degree of precision by measuring the ratio of two counting rates. Using a strong laser field (e.g. that in a Fabry-Perot resonant cavity), the measurement can be performed in a fraction of a second. Examples of possible practical arrangements are given. | s2orc_title_abstract |

In this paper we introduce a parameter driven model for the dynamics of range, the stochastic conditional range (SCR). We propose to estimate its parameters by Kalman filter, importance sampling and simulated maximum likelihood depending on the hypotheses on the distributional form of the innovations. The model is applied to a large subset of the S&P 500 components. A comparison with of its fitting and forecasting abilities with the CARR model shows that the new approach can provide an interesting alternative. | We propose a dynamic model for the high/low range of asset prices within fixed time intervals: the Conditional Autoregressive Range Model (henceforth CARR). The evolution of the conditional range is specified in a fashion similar to the conditional variance models as in GARCH and is very similar to the Autoregressive Conditional Duration (ACD) model of Engle and Russell (1998). Extreme value theories imply that the range is an efficient estimator of the local volatility, e.g., Parkinson (1980). Hence, CARR can be viewed as a model of volatility. Out-of-sample volatility forecasts using the S&P500 index data show that the CARR model does provide sharper volatility estimates compared with a standard GARCH model. | s2orc_abstract_citation |
