Church's Face Bankruptcy
Rampant child abuse in church run schools results in thousands of lawsuits
For more than a century Native Canadians were abused emotionally, physically and sexually in schools run by Christian churches. The goals of the schools, with government support, was to de-Indianize the children, a process which robbed them of their richcultural and linguistic heritage. Christian missionaries in India, Sri Lanka and elsewhere have done--and continue to do--the same thing. In overt and subtle ways both, they teach the Hindu children under their care that their culture and religion is just "superstition," "myths" and a "false religion." Towards the end of the 20th century in Canada, the native population gained power in society, some natives becoming rich from oil and natural gas on reserve land. Educated native youth, some now lawyers, are fighting back in a historic lawsuit that may well bankrupt several of Canada's largest churches. What follows is excerpted from a comprehensive eight-page article by Jane O'Hara which appeared in the June 26, 2000, issue of the respected Canadian magazine, Maclean's. There exists, in addition to the story told here, an even darker version in which some natives assert that the residential school system was nothing less than organized genocide, with 50,000 school children dying in the system, most of infectious disease but some of outright murder. See www.kahtou.com/images/apr_tlkingstck.html.
The story of native residential schools is an ignoble chapter in Canadian history. For more than a century, well over 100,000 aboriginal children attended the institutions, jointly run by the government and four Canadian Christian churches. In all, 20% to 30% of natives, often the poorest from families in crisis, went to the schools. Over the years, politicians and bureaucrats tried to describe the schools in lofty terms; 19th-century documents said the facilities would keep the children "within the circle of civilized conditions" where they would get the "care of a mother." Underlying the lofty rhetoric was one disastrous goal: assimilation by stripping aboriginals of their language and culture.
For generations, the drastically underfunded system subjected defenseless children to emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Among the scarring indignities: children burned with cigarettes and punched in the ear so hard they lost their hearing. Understandably, many victims are now fighting back, demanding compensation for the agonies they endured. What began as a whisper of litigation in the mid-1990s has now become a storm: as of May, 1, 2000, a staggering 6,324 native plaintiffs (not including class-action suits) are suing the federal government and, in many cases, the Roman Catholic, United, Anglican and Presbyterian Christian churches. And that number could double, according to the Federal government. Some are seeking damages for sexual and physical abuse, but 90 percent of plaintiffs also allege cultural loss--a claim as yet untested in the courts. Should these actions be successful, they could cost the government and churches billions of dollars. And potential payouts notwithstanding, legal fees alone, experts say, will almost certainly bankrupt some churches.
Because of the legal complexities, few cases have been tried. One that has actually gone to trial is the Gordon Residential School case. In that case, a former student identified only as D.W. was awarded us$110,000 [all amounts are in US dollars] for being repeatedly sexually abused by William Starr, administrator of the Gordon Student Residence. Another student was awarded $31,200 by the courts. Another 230 former students who were sexually abused while at the Gordon School settled out of court with the federal government for amounts ranging from $16,300 to $97,500 each.
Among the abused is native artist Miles Anderson, 33, who spent eight years at the Gordon School and received a $32,500 settlement because of abuse by Starr. One of 16 children, Anderson lost his mother at the age of 6. A year later, he was sent to Gordon. Anderson and a friend often tried to run away. The man usually sent to bring them back, Anderson says, was brutal. Once, he recalls, he picked Anderson up by the hair and threw him against a wall. Anderson remembers another beating by the same worker, administered when he was 11: "He banged our heads together so hard he knocked us both out cold. Then he beat us after we were out."
Another man, who refused to be named, told Maclean's that this same supervisor, who often came to work late smelling of alcohol, repeatedly assaulted him where he slept in dormitory room 209. "The thing about abuse is that it keeps coming back," he said, growing agitated as he recalled his experiences. "Now I'm trembling. I get anxiety attacks. I don't feel like going out anywhere."
Canada's largest Christian churches--Catholic, United, Anglican and Presbyterian--are being swamped by thousands of residential-school lawsuits. For more than a century, these religious denominations ran and managed the residential schools for the federal government, which paid for them. In many cases, the suits now threatening the economic viability of the churches have been filed by former students.
Recently, officials of the Anglican Church, Canada's third-largest religious organization with 2.2-million members, announced that the general synod--the Christian church's national head office in Toronto--will be bankrupted by next year should the legal battles continue. Those settlements could reach into the billions; the general synod, which is fielding about 350 suits by 1,600 plaintiffs, has assets totalling about $6.5 million. "It's out of control," says Jim Cruickshank, the Anglican bishop of the Cariboo diocese in the British Columbia interior, which has run through its own cash reserves and is all but legally bankrupt. How far out of control? In an ongoing case involving the St. George's school in Lytton, B.C., Cruickshank says his diocese can no longer afford to send a lawyer to court every day.
In his spartan Regina office, the Right Rev. Duncan Wallace, Anglican bishop of the Saskatchewan diocese of Qu'Appelle, is on the front lines of residential-school litigation. When asked how many lawsuits there are against his diocese, he smiles and says they are so numerous the lawyer doesn't bother sending him full copies of the statements of claim anymore. But he acknowledges there are up to 350 lawsuits, and says the justice department is behind most of them, bringing third-party actions against the diocese. "Once you get into those numbers, it's all meaningless," Wallace says. "We only have funds to deal with the first 50 or so." He fears that church donations could start dropping off if people think their contributions are going into a pit of litigation.
On the government's part, it issued an official apology in a ceremony on January 7, 2000. The apology acknowledged the government's roll in the development and administration of the schools and said, "We wish to emphasize that what you experienced was not your fault and should never have happened. For those of you who suffered this tragedy, we are deeply sorry." Along with the apology, the government committed $228 million to healing initiatives.
The Christian churches have formed an alliance to extricate themselves from the morass of lawsuits--with government help. One option would be for the government to pay the churches' legal costs. Under another plan now being explored, the churches would contribute a predetermined amount of money to a larger federal fund. It would then be distributed to former residential-schools students. But getting the government on their side is only part of the battle. Convincing natives still embittered by what they endured in residential schools to go along with the scheme may prove to be an even greater challenge.

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TENNESSEE
AT NASHVILLE
Assigned on Briefs April 17, 2013
JEFFERY MILLER v. JEWELL STEELE, WARDEN
Direct Appeal from the Criminal Court for Davidson County
No. 4422 Mark J. Fishburn, Judge
No. M2012-01628-CCA-R3-HC - Filed July 24, 2013
Petitioner, Jeffery Miller, appeals from the trial court’s summary dismissal of Petitioner’s
petition for writ of habeas corpus. After reviewing the record and the parties’ briefs we
affirm the judgment of the trial court.
Tenn. R. App. P. 3 Appeal as of Right; Judgment of the Criminal Court Affirmed
T HOMAS T. W OODALL, J., delivered the opinion of the court, in which J AMES C URWOOD
W ITT, Jr. and J EFFREY S. B IVINS, JJ., joined.
F. Michie Gibson, Jr., Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Jeffery Miller.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Brent C. Cherry, Assistant Attorney
General; Victor S. (Torry) Johnson, III, District Attorney General; and Amy Tarkington,
Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
OPINION
The October, 1996 term of the Montgomery County Grand Jury returned an
indictment that charged Petitioner with first degree murder. The indictment alleged in
pertinent part that
on or about the 1st day of September, 1996, and in the State and County
aforesaid, [Petitioner] unlawfully, feloniously, knowingly, intentionally,
deliberately and with premeditation did kill Joshua Kelley, by use of a
deadly weapon, to-wit: a firearm, in violation of TCA 39-13-202(a)(1) and
against the peace and dignity of the State of Tennessee.
(Emphasis added).
On April 28, 1997, the day the trial began, the State made a motion to amend the
indictment to delete the word “deliberately.” This motion was granted. The trial court’s
docket sheet for that day notes the motion and disposition, but does not state whether
Petitioner had an objection to the amendment, no objection, or if he joined in the motion.
The trial court’s minute entry provides no additional information. The jury was unable to
reach a verdict and a mistrial was declared. At the subsequent trial, Petitioner was convicted
as charged. This court affirmed the conviction on direct appeal. State v. Jeffery Miller, No.
01C01-9801-CC-00029, 1999 WL 398188 (Tenn. Crim. App. June 18, 1999), perm. app.
denied (Tenn. Nov. 22, 1999).
The petition which is the subject of this appeal was filed December 2, 2011. In the
petition, it is alleged that the sentence is an illegal, void sentence. Petitioner first alleged that
the sentence was the result of a defective indictment, because “the indictment fails to allege
all the essential elements of [first degree murder].” Specifically, Petitioner asserts that the
State’s motion to amend the indictment, which resulted in the word “deliberately” being
deleted, resulted in an “essential element” of first degree murder being removed from the
indictment. The main thrust of the petition for habeas corpus relief is that without the
essential element of “deliberation” the indictment was “nullified” because thereafter the
indictment failed to allege a criminal offense, and the conviction was thus void. As an added
allegation, or perhaps as an alternative theory for relief, Petitioner added the following
assertion at the conclusion of the factual allegations in the petition:
The trial court impermissibly amended the indictment after jeopardy
had attached to broaden the charge that was returned by the Grand Jury, and
as such, the amendment did not provide the petitioner with timely notice of
the charges to assert an adequate defense.
Thus Petitioner asserted that the amendment to the indictment either (1) resulted in
the indictment not charging a criminal offense, or (2) broadened the “charge that was
returned by the Grand Jury.” Although Petitioner alleges the indictment was amended after
jeopardy had attached, he does not allege, and none of the documents filed with the petition
indicate, if the jury in the first trial had been selected and sworn prior to the amendment to
the indictment. In any event, it is abundantly clear from the record that the indictment was
amended prior to jeopardy attaching by the process of swearing of the jury in the second trial,
which is the jury which convicted Petitioner.
The State asserts the appeal should be dismissed because Petitioner’s notice of appeal
was not timely filed within thirty days after the entry of the trial court’s order dismissing the
petition. The trial court’s order was entered on January 5, 2012, and the notice of appeal was
filed approximately six months later on July 10, 2012. The petition was filed pro se, and
-2-
Petitioner retained counsel who filed the late notice of appeal. Subsequently, counsel filed
a motion for this court to waive the timely filing of the notice of appeal. In support thereof,
Petitioner’s affidavit, filed with the motion, stated that he never received a copy of, or other
notice of, the order dismissing his petition. Tennessee Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)
provides that “in all criminal cases the ‘notice of appeal’ document is not jurisdictional and
the filing of such document may be waived in the interest of justice.” We exercise our
discretion in this case and waive the timely filing of the notice of appeal. We note that while
the order dismissing the petition provides at the end thereof, “cc: Mr. Jeffery Miller,
Petitioner,” there is no certificate of service on the order, and thus no signature of any person
proving that a copy of the order was sent to Petitioner in compliance with the “cc:.”
As to the merits of the case, we conclude that Petitioner is not entitled to relief in this
appeal. The offense occurred on September 1, 1996. Jeffery Miller, 1999 WL 398188 at *1.
In 1995, well prior to the commission of the offense in this case, “deliberately” was deleted
as a necessary element of first degree murder. See Tennessee Public Acts 1995, ch. 460,
effective July 1, 1995. Accordingly, the indictment was proper.
As to Petitioner’s assertion that “the amendment did not provide the petitioner with
timely notice of the charges to assert an adequate defense,” even if this allegation had merit,
which it does not, it would only make the judgment of conviction merely voidable, and not
void.
It is well settled law that a conviction which may be merely voidable, but not void, is
not reviewable in a habeas corpus proceeding. Taylor v. State, 995 S.W.2d 78, 83 (Tenn.
1999). A void judgment is one which shows on the face of the record a lack of jurisdiction
by the trial court over the person, the subject matter of the case, the issue to be decided, or
the relief to be granted. See Cantrell v. Easterling, 346 S.W.3d 445, 453-54 (Tenn. 2011).
In a habeas corpus proceeding the term “jurisdiction” is synonymous with “authority.” Id.,
at 454.
A judgment which may be merely voidable is facially valid and requires additional
proof beyond the face of the judgment or record to establish its alleged invalidity, i.e., alleged
failure to give proper notice. Summers v. State, 212 S.W.3d 251, 256 (Tenn. 2007). If the
petition for habeas corpus relief fails on its face to state a cognizable claim, the trial court
may summarily dismiss the petition. State ex. rel. Byrd v. Bomar, 381 S.W.2d 280, 283
(1964). Petitioner is not entitled to relief in this appeal. Accordingly, the judgment of the
trial court summarily dismissing the petition for habeas corpus relief is affirmed.

The STATE, Petitioner,
v.
Michael SUTTON, Respondent.
No. 25130.
Supreme Court of South Carolina.
Heard March 22, 2000.

Rehearing Denied June 6, 2000.
*394 Attorney General Charles M. Condon, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Assistant Attorney General G. *395 Robert DeLoach, III, all of Columbia; and Solicitor E.L. Clements, III, of Florence, for petitioner.
Assistant Appellate Defender M. Anne Pearce, of South Carolina Office of Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for respondent.
MOORE, Justice:
The Court of Appeals vacated respondent's attempted murder conviction and sentence. State v. Sutton, 333 S.C. 192, 508 S.E.2d 41 (Ct.App.1998). We granted the State a writ of certiorari to review the Court of Appeals' decision. We affirm as modified.
FACTS
On December 22, 1994, respondent Michael Sutton shot Dennis Thomas three times at a Florence nightclub. Thomas died over a year and a day later on January 22, 1996.[1] Sutton was indicted for assault and battery with intent to kill (ABIK), attempted murder, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. At trial, Sutton moved for a directed verdict on the ground that ABIK and attempted murder are the same offense. The trial judge denied Sutton's motion. The jury convicted Sutton on all charges and he was sentenced to twenty years for the ABIK; life for the attemptedmurder, to run concurrently, and five years for the possession of a firearm offense, to run consecutively.
ISSUE
Did the Court of Appeals err in vacating Sutton's attempted murder conviction and sentence?
DISCUSSION
The Court of Appeals held ABIK and attempted murder are the same offense and since ABIK embraces the whole offense *396 of attempted murder, in essence, there was a double jeopardy violation.[2] The State contends this was error.
We have never been presented with the issue whether attempted murder is an offense in this state. We read the Court of Appeals' decision to hold that the offense of attempted murder does not exist. The Court of Appeals states that ABIK embraces the whole of attempted murder and then states the cases have always equated ABIK with attempted murder. We agree in result.
ABIK[3] is an unlawful act of violent nature to the person of another with malice aforethought, either express or implied. State v. Foust, 325 S.C. 12, 479 S.E.2d 50 (1996). The often cited language to describe ABIK is: if the victim had died from the injury, the defendant would have been guilty of murder. See, e.g., State v. Atkins, 293 S.C. 294, 360 S.E.2d 302, 305 (1987). Furthermore, a specific intent is not required to commit ABIK. State v. Foust, 325 S.C. 12, 479 S.E.2d 50, 51 (1996).[4]
*397 In general, "[a]ttempt is a specific intent crime." 21 Am.Jur.2d Criminal Law § 176 (1998). "The act constituting the attempt must be done with the intent to commit that particular crime." Id. See also Wharton's Criminal Law Attempt §§ 694-695 (1996)("To constitute an attempt, there must be an intent to commit a particular crime ... Although a murder may be committed without an intent to kill, an attempt to commit murder requires a specific intent to kill.")[5] In the context of an "attempt" crime, specific intent means that the defendant consciously intended the completion of acts comprising the choate offense. In other words, the completion of such acts is the defendant's purpose. United States v. Calloway, 116 F.3d 1129 (6th Cir.1997). Attempted murder would require the specific intent to kill and conduct towards that end. ABIK requires an unlawful act of violence to the person of another with malice. Clearly, each offense has an element the other does not. However, simply because convictions for both offenses would not violate double jeopardy, we are not constrained to recognize the offense of attempted murder.
Under our current common law, we recognize ABIK and assault with intent to kill (AIK). Assault has been defined as an "attempted battery" or an unlawful attempt or offer to commit a violent injury upon another person, coupled with the present ability to complete the attempt or offer by a battery. State v. Mims, 286 S.C. 553, 335 S.E.2d 237 (1985). Under this definition of assault pointing a toy gun at someone or withholding insulin from a diabetic would not be an AIK. However, the Court has on at least two occasions defined an assault as placing another in apprehension of harm. In State v. Sims, 34 S.C.L. (3 Strob.) 137 (1848), the Court held if a defendant rode his horse so near the victim so as to cause the victim to believe he intended to ride upon or strike him, he would be guilty of an assault. More recently, in In re McGee, 278 S.C. 506, 299 S.E.2d 334, 334-335 (1983), we held "[w]hile words alone do not constitute an assault, State v. Lymburn, 3 *398 S.C.L. (1 Brev.) 397 (1804), if by words and conduct a person intentionally creates a reasonable apprehension of bodily harm, it is an assault. State v. Sims, 34 S.C.L. (3 Strob.) 137 (1848); see generally LaFave and Scott, Criminal Law § 82 (1972). Thus, if a person `shook his hickory over his head, indicating an intention to strike, and within striking distance,' and `if his action and conduct were such as to create the belief in the mind of the [victim] that he intended to ... strike him, he would be guilty of an assault.' Sims, at 138; see also State v. Davis, 19 S.C.L. (1 Hill) 46 (1833)."[6]
This is consistent with the majority of jurisdictions. All jurisdictions recognize the attempted battery type of assault. The intentional creation of apprehension of immediate bodily harm type of assault has been specifically adopted as a definition of criminal assault by most jurisdictions. LaFave and Scott, Criminal Law § 82 (1972). See also, e.g., Ott v. State, 11 Md.App. 259, 273 A.2d 630 (1971). Thus, pointing a toy gun at someone or withholding life-saving medication may be an AIK if the person is placed in fear of bodily harm even though the defendant does not have the ability to complete a battery and/or there is not an attempted battery.[7]
We decline to recognize a separate offense of attempted murder. We think with the clarifications of our definition of assault made in this decision, the offense of attempted murder is unnecessary.[8] Our common law offenses of ABIK and AIK *399 adequately cover the conduct which attempted murder would include.
AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.
FINNEY, C.J., TOAL, WALLER, and BURNETT, JJ., concur.
NOTES
[1] The common law rule is that if a victim dies over a year and a day later, he can not be charged with murder. William S. McAninch and W. Gaston Fairey, The Criminal Law of South Carolina 72 (3d ed.1996). We question the applicability of this rule with present day medical advances which could sustain a victim's life for an indefinite period. However, this is not an issue in this case.
[2] Sutton appealed his convictions to the Court of Appeals solely on the ground they violated the double jeopardy clause. In his reply brief to the Court of Appeals, he argued that there is no offense of attempted murder. In reversing, the Court of Appeals stated the offense of ABIK embraces the whole offense of attempted murder. The Court of Appeals then cited several cases in which convictions were vacated because the underlying criminal statutes were no longer in effect (i.e. the courts did not have subject matter jurisdiction). The Court of Appeals clearly applied a double jeopardy analysis and yet then cited several subject matter jurisdiction cases as authority for vacating Sutton's attempted murder conviction. Sutton contends the State's argument is procedurally barred. The Court of Appeals combined the issue to include both subject matter jurisdiction and double jeopardy and now, in all fairness, one issue can not be separated from the other. Furthermore, we think the State adequately raised both the issues of double jeopardy and subject matter jurisdiction in its petition for rehearing.
[3] We note ABIK is punishable by imprisonment not to exceed twenty years. S.C.Code Ann. § 16-3-620 (1985). A person who commits the common law offense of attempt, is punishable as for the principal offense. S.C.Code Ann. § 16-1-80 (Supp.1999). Thus, attempted murder may be punishable by a life sentence or imprisonment for thirty years. See S.C.Code Ann. § 16-3-20 (Supp.1999)(punishment for murder).
[4] Foust was decided in December 1996, 9 months after Sutton's trial.
[5] A specific intent to kill may be, and normally is, inferred from the surrounding circumstances, such as the character of the attack, the use of a deadly weapon, and the nature and extent of the victim's injuries. People v. Parker, 311 Ill.App.3d 80, 243 Ill.Dec. 894, 724 N.E.2d 203 (1999).
[6] There is a good discussion of this subject in William S. McAninch and W. Gaston Fairey, The Criminal Law of South Carolina 186-187 (3d ed.1996).
[7] The Model Penal Code § 211.1 states "[a] person is guilty of assault if he: (a) attempts to cause or purposely, knowingly or recklessly causes bodily injury to another; or (b) negligently causes bodily injury to another with a deadly weapon; or (c) attempts by physical menace to put another in fear of imminent serious bodily injury."
[8] Furthermore, we note that had Thomas died within a year, Sutton could have been convicted at most of murder and received a life sentence. Because Sutton lived for over a year and a day after the shooting, Sutton was convicted of both attempted murder and ABIK and received a life sentence and 20 years; albeit in this case, the sentences were to run concurrently.

I love old Hollywood films but I never thought I would be writing about one of my favourite actresses Grace Kelly and one of my favourite pilgrim sites Croagh Patrick in the same blog post. Grace was born on the 12 November 1929, as her surname would suggest she was of Irish decent. Grace had a short but successful film career staring in some classic films like High Noon and Dial M for Murder. She retired at the age of 26 when she married Prince Rainier of Monaco.
In 1961 Princess Grace and her husband Prince Rainier came to Ireland. During the trip they travelled to Co Mayo, visiting the family home place of Grace’s grandfather John Peter Kelly in the townland of Drimurla, who left Ireland in 1887 for America. At the time of the visit the Kelly homestead was in the ownership of a lady known as the Widow Mulchrone. According to the Mayo News
For weeks preparations had been made for the special royal visit of June 15 1961. The roof was newly thatched, the hedges cut and the pathway sanded. Dressed in black, and wearing her finest apron, the widow had spent the morning baking griddle cakes and polishing the glassware and good china. Up in “the good room”, which doubled up as the widow’s bedroom, she set the tables with six cups and saucers and bedecked it with a selection of cakes and soda bread. Back in the kitchen a big black kettle hung boiling and hissing over the open fire. According to lore, the widow regaled the royal visitors with stories and, at one point, ordered an on-duty policeman to “wet another cup of tay, the prince could murder another drop”. She even recited a special poem to mark the occasion, which she dubbed the most important day of her life.
During her time in Mayo the princess also made a pilgrimage to Croagh Patrick, as many of her ancestor had done before her. Wearing a two piece suit, sun glasses and glamorous headscarf, Princess Grace was one of the most elegant and stylish pilgrims to ever visit the holy mountain. The photos and film footage of the visit show her wearing flat shoes and carrying a blackthorn walking stick. Looking every inch the Hollywood star she walked along the laneway which leads from the modern car park to the statue of St Patrick at the base of the mountain. The royal couple was followed by photographers, curious local people and members of the garda síochána. One can only imagine the excitement of people who lived in the area.
The princess didn’t climb to the summit of Croagh Patrick but she prayed before the statue of St Patrick which stands at the mountain’s base. There is fantastic film footage of the event available on the British Pathé website (the link is below in references).
Princess Grace’s visited Ireland on two other occasions but the this first visit is still remembered fondly in Co Mayo.

Soon after the tsunami you went everywhere looking for help. We at ECCO felt we were too small and without any funds to help you. You too felt that way.
Yet, within a month ECCO-1 arrived. And today you have ECCO2 and 3. Also, today we have with us a few of the many unseen faces who are helping you. Please join me in welcoming Xavier, Vera and Annie from France, Ramya Nageswaran from Singapore and V Chandrasekaran from Chennai.
Xavier Ray is a friend of Anuradha Bakshi in Delhi whose poor school children have already committed a boat for you. Ray's organisation, "Enfances Indiennes", helps Indian children. Its members are successful because they are as innocent and open as children. Ramya sits in Singapore but her passion is for India and that passion electrified her friends and made them come to your help. Recently, Tibetans were here with you and they produced a large gift for you simply out of their love. VC moved in to help only because he knew Navaz and Sabita were involved in helping you.
See how help comes rolling? ECCO has no money but it has all these friends who believe in ECCO. Because of all the support of people like them, little ECCO today announces with certainty that we will give you at least 15 boats.[Applause] But that's not all: there will be more.[Loud, extended applause]
Understand this: to help, all you need is a good heart ['manam'] and a good motive, not money ['panam'].
ECCO has no inner motive. It has no religious, political or commercial agenda. But it has an open motive. It has an environmental agenda and an agenda for good governance in the land.
All we want to do is to raise your awareness about your rights. But we also want to teach you your responsibilities. That is why we in ECCO believe in Gandhi's ways. He was an obstinate man but also an enemy of violence and divisions.
ECCO's struggle is for the protection of the environment and the rule of law. We urge you to increase your awareness, sink your differences and join us in protecting the environment and make India a better place.
Under the agreement entered into with the KKKuppam Fishermen's Panchayat, they are free to nominate the final user of a donated boat as long as the boat is not sold and stays within the village. They merely have to inform ECCO of the change of ownership within 30 days.

ECCO's work attracts attention:
Nigel Walker, of California, USA came down to KKKuppam, because he read and liked what ECCO is doing. He was with us for a week, quietly video-capturing ECCO's work. | 2023-12-06T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/4246 |

"Eww." " Huh?" " Ahh..." "Hm?" "Flying monkeys." "We're the scourge of the night." "And the day, too." "Really, we're just an overall scourge in the Land of Oz." "Seriously, we're terrifying." "The Winkies are scared of us." "The Munchkins are scared of us." "Heck, I'm even scared of us." "This is me." "Oh, sorry." "That's not me." "One sec." "That's me." "Ozzy!" "Keep up!" "Yes, Dad." "I mean, yes, sir!" "If you haven't figured it out yet, that's my dad, Goliath." "See the resemblance?" "Don't worry." "Nobody does." "Ozzy, do you have to wear that?" "I wish I didn't." "I know it's not scary, but I can't fly without it." "The word "can't" is not in the Winged Monkey vocabulary." "Well, now, technically, it is because you just used it, which means that it actually is in our vocabulary." "Now move on, Eveline is waiting." "This is Eveline, the Wicked Witch of the West." "Soon, all of Oz, will fear me once more!" "She's not really supposed to be here." "Let's go back a bit." "I'll give you a history lesson." "Not too long ago, a young heroine came to Oz." "Her name was Dorothy." "She discovered Eveline's weakness." "I'm melting!" "Melting." "After she defeated Eveline," "Glinda the Good Witch, helped Dorothy find her way back home." "Then she crowned Dorothy's friends "The Kings of Oz"." "And because Glinda's so... good, she gave Eveline a second chance." "I'm un-melting!" "I'm un-melting!" "Welcome back, Eveline!" "My handle is "Wicked Witch of the West", Glinda!" "Ohh... but you won't be a Witch anymore." "No way!" "No, no!" "And just like that, Glinda removed Eveline's magic powers." "They were transferred to Eveline's broom, which was given to the Three Kings for safe keeping." "I know Glinda had the best of intentions, but the thing is..." "You can take the powers out of a Wicked Witch, but you can't take the wickedness out of her." "Goliath!" "Listen up you monkeys!" "Now." "My evil plan." "We deliver the sleepy ribs, and then those buffoons eat the sleepy ribs, get sleepy..." "Meanwhile, we're outside." "I'm wearing a silly mustache..." " Uh..." "A silly mustache?" " Yes, your Evilness." "Which nitwit." "To the Dungeon!" "OK." "Let's move along now." "When the buffoons go night-night," "Goliath will break down the wall and..." "Uh..." "Eveline?" " Uh, don't mean to bother you." " What?" "I thought you agreed to my plan." "We let someone small sneak in through the vent, open the window and let us charge in." "You know?" " Uh." " When did I agree to that?" " A week ago." " Uh, I don't remember that." " Uh." " Well, whatever." "We do Goliath's thing, blah-blah-blah..." "This gets us the broom, which finally gives me my power back!" " Got it?" "!" " Yes, my Witch!" "Good." "And remember this, I will not tolerate failure." "Alright." "Let's get a move on." "Now!" "You're going to mess it up." "You heard her, everyone out!" "Do we have to do this?" "Winged monkeys have served wicked witches for centuries." "I know that, but..." "She's gone bananas dad." "I am a winged monkey, you're a winged monkey, so act like one." "Aww..." "Mm-hmm." "That's more like it." "Mmm." "Get on my back, it will be faster." "Mm-mmm..." "I can't think of a better present than this." " You said somebody brought it?" " Oh, yes!" "There was this funny looking guy at the door." "So, get ready Kings as we are going to eat like... well, Kings!" "Remember, tonight is your chance to show all the winged monkeys you are a worthy warrior." " Don't disappoint me." " I will!" " Uh...?" " I mean..." "I'll show 'em I'm worthy." "Not gonna disappoint you." " Manners, Lion." " What?" "Oh, excuse me." "Me, too, I don't know why I'm so tired." "Shhh!" "Oh, hey..." "Sound the alarm!" "Well, attack you mongrels!" " What are you doing?" " It worked with crows." "Get it!" "Yes!" "Dad!" "I hope you nincompoops enjoyed being kings." "Heh." "But it's mama's turn to rule again." "You wanted bravery?" "Your desire to fight will be your undoing, as bravery turns to wrath." "You will become trapped by your rage, like a rat in a cage." "You wanted to be brainy, tired of being a thick-headed lunk." "Now that brain of yours is gonna be working overtime forever!" "You said that you wanted a heart 'cause you couldn't feel." "Well, you're gonna regret that." "Because you're about to feel all of the pain and sadness the world has to offer." "I still got it!" "I'm a bad Witch!" "Whoo!" "You nearly ruined everything." "Look around at all your comrades that got their butts kicked because of you!" "I'm actually not that bad." "Yeah, I just need to get a better helmet is all." "Silence!" "I have my broom back, no thanks to you!" "Where is my chief of security?" " Uh, here, your Evilness." " Send this one to the Dungeon." "I do not tolerate failure!" "Have I said that one before?" "Like one, two, three..." "That time in the toilet..." " Fourteen times already, my Witch." " Dungeon?" "Eveline, uh, Ozzy, that's my boy's name," "I can't send him to the Dungeon." "Dungeon, Dungeon...!" "No!" "It was my idea!" "He wasn't ready!" "He just got a little... chicken." "No, Dad!" "That's not what happened!" "He's chicken, huh?" "Smart move, Goliath." "You put your chicken son in charge of getting my broom back." " I'm sorry, Eveline." " You have failed." "Yes, my Witch." "It will never happen again." "I know." "Oh, no!" "I'm sorry, Dad." "Derp, take them away." "Derp." "Derp." "Dad!" "What are you doing?" " I don't know!" " That's mine!" "Gimme the broom." "If I give it back, will you turn my Dad back to normal?" " No!" " No?" "!" "I mean, yes." "Whatever it is that you want me to do," "I'll be happy to do it." "Give it back to me you little..." "I feel like you're lying to me." "Yep." "Aww... don't be afraid." "My Broom!" "Hey!" "Stop laughing." "Get off your lazy butts, and bring me that measly monkey!" "Oh, he's gone!" "And so are you." "To the Dungeon!" "Wait, me?" "Are you kidding?" "No, wait, come on!" "Please!" "The rest of you, go!" "Everyone!" "Go find him!" "That broom is mine." "That magic is mine!" "I must have it back!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Help!" "No." "No." "No!" "Stop, stop, stop!" "Get off of me!" "I don't believe this." "This was the worst night of my life." " Watch it!" " Sorry, I didn't mean to..." "Ah, the disrespect that big people have for small slimy things." "Don't you look at me like that!" " What?" " Don't look at me like that!" "Honestly, people are so rude, rude!" "If somebody looked at you like you're looking at me..." "I don't have time for this, buddy!" "There's a wicked witch after me!" "This is you, right, "Complain, complain, complain." "Me, me, me, me."" " What do I do now?" " Listen, you want problems?" "The pond I live in tastes like mud!" "That's a problem!" "I tried to get Glinda to do something, but no avail!" "Glinda!" "Where is she?" "I can't believe you don't know." "Everybody knows." "I don't." "I just flew into town." "Come on." "Whoa, it's far." "Yup, it's pretty far." "Like, 4,000 hops far." " Which way?" " That way." "That's it?" "It's far if you're a frog." " Thank you." " Yeah, whatever!" "People would respect me if I were a prince." "Glinda!" "Hi there." "I know you're not a big fan of flying monkeys, but I really need your help." "It's Eveline." "She got a hold of her magic broom and turned my dad into a chicken!" "I have the broom but she's coming after me." "Hmm?" "Ooh." "Bad monkey!" "Talk, bucko, before I start casting spells." "And FYI, I am super good at spells!" "I'm Ozzy, I need help from Glinda." "She, uh, she can't help you." "Glinda is "sleeping" right now." "Come back, uh, never." "Okay." "Bye." "She doesn't look like she's sleeping." "Well, she totally is." "I've seen people sleeping before and she isn't." "Well, you've never seen her sleeping." "Some people like to sleep laying in their bed wearing pajamas, holding their Teddy bear." "But she likes to sleep sitting, in her dress, with her eyes open, holding a cup of tea." " Baloney." " Just go!" " Get down!" " No, I need Glinda's help!" "She won't help you!" " Glinda, I'm begging you." " She can't!" "Why?" "Why?" "Okay." "So... it's a long story but..." "I was working on my potions." "Like I do." "Super complex stuff, but I was totally in the zone." "I was crushing it." "But then suddenly, Aunt Glinda's all like..." "Gabby!" "Please, make me a cup of tea." "And I was all like," "I'm busy." "Then she was all like," ""Now, please."" "And so I was all," ""Okay, fine."" "Ahh." "What did you put in this?" "Why, is it that bad?" "Glinda?" "You okay?" "Oopsies." "Apparently, whatever I made, well, it wasn't tea." "But I, but I mean, she's just, she's not like dead or anything, she's just... on pause." " She'll be fine!" " Are you sure about that?" "You can bet your monkey butt." "You better stop croaking and start talking." "Have you seen a small stupid monkey?" " Oh, yeah, very stupid." " Where?" "Hmm?" "Ah-ha!" "I got this." "Okay, all right um..." "Bad monkey." "Gross!" "No touching!" "You have to let me help!" "Pretty please." "It's fine." "Everything is perfect." "Like perfectly perfect." "Okay?" "I don't have a lot of time!" "How long is this gonna this take?" "Shh!" "Okay, okay, okay." "Hmm..." "Leprechaun lillies, invisible thread, a bit of sasquatch toe jam for taste." "Cotton candy fairy dust." "Okay, pass me that red bottle over there." ""Juice of mangosteen?" What's this do?" "Ahh..." "It just tastes delicious." "What are you looking for?" "Gotta find some "splinter of Frogwood."" "Oh, don't tell me we're out!" "It's super important." "It goes in, like, everything." "Everything?" " This isn't happening!" " Can't you get some more?" "Uh, frogwood trees are extremely scarce and difficult to find." "And, of course, I can't un-pause Glinda until I find one!" "What?" "How long will that take?" "It could be soon but probably quite a while." "Really?" "There's no hope." "What am I gonna do?" " What's the problem?" " Eveline!" "I ran away with the broom that holds her magic power!" "You did?" "Impressive, and quite scandalous." "She is going to kill me!" "And my father is in trouble." "Glinda was the only shot I had." "Well, if somebody could find a Frogwood tree..." "But that's obviously not going to be you." "Obviously." "I mean, you're a miniature flying monkey with teensy-weensy little wings." "Thanks." "You're not strong, smart, or brave." " How do you know?" "!" " Am I wrong?" "I uh, I uh..." "Huh, huh?" "The Kings!" "They're brave, and smart, and really strong." "They could help me." "How do I find them?" "I don't know, you're not brave, not smart, not..." "Heard ya the first time!" "But... you do have the broom." "I've gotta find these guys." "They'll help me I know it." "You're just going to go out and "find" The Kings?" "Well... yes." "And, how are you going to find them?" "I have no idea." "So, you're just walking this way, hoping to find one of them?" "I can't just sit and do nothing." "I have to try and stop Eveline." "Okay." "I'll go find some Frogwood splinters, bring em back, finish my potion, and then Glinda can take care of Eveline." "I don't have that much time, Eveline is looking for me." "Can you fly that thing?" "I did once, but I don't know how." "Hmm." "Wait right here." "Don't you worry auntie, I'll bring back your," ""Don't you ever dare touch that, Gabby,"" "crystal ball safe and sound, OK?" "I'll take that as a yes." "And, um, next time, let's not give wicked witches a second chance." "Just sayin'." "Okay, bye!" "Look what I got!" "Hey!" "I told you to wait for me!" " Hmm?" " Did you get bigger?" "And, eww, you smell bad." "Huh?" "Sorry, I thought you were somebody else." "I have to go now." " Hey, where ya think you're going?" " Yeah?" "We're looking for a monkey." "A flying monkey." "Except one that doesn't fly because he's got wings like a bird." "But not like a hawk or an eagle, more like a robin or a little finch." "Sorry, fellas," "I don't know who you're talking about." "Haven't seen him." "Maybe this will remind you!" "Oh, so this winged monkey is pink?" "Pink?" "Have you seen him or not?" "Nope." "Sorry." " Okay, have you seen this!" " It's supposed to be a broom." " Have you seen a broom?" " Nope." "No brooms here." " Oh..." " Ah-ha!" "What's that there then?" "Oh, this?" "It's a broom, but it doesn't look anything like the one in your picture." "I'm, um..." "I'm..." "I'm a maid and I'm..." "I'm just going to my sweeping job." "I'll let you know if I see that one." " Hm." " Hmm..." " Really?" " Uh-huh." "Okay." "That was close." "Thanks." " I'm coming with you!" " You're coming with me?" "Why?" "You gotta find The Kings, I gotta wake up Glinda." "Two heads are better than one." " Which heads?" " Never mind." "Look, I brought Glinda's crystal ball." "It'll show the way." " It will?" "How?" " Magic!" "Check it out." "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." "Bobidy, bibidy, bobidy, bobidy, bah!" "That way?" "Are you sure?" "Okay." "We go... that way." "I guess that sounds good." " Whose bright idea was this?" " I give you one guess." "Makeover... complete!" "Come on, come on!" "Keep it coming." "Lower, left, left, lower." "Lower..." "lower, lower, lower..." " Put it down!" " ..." "lower." "Hmm?" "No!" "Uh-oh." "Mmm." "I'm just saying, you're super weird, cause flying monkeys are supposed to be like really mean and scary and stuff, but you're totally not." "No offense." "I mean, you know what I'm talking about right?" "Quiet." "That guy is crazy." "Run, run, he is mad!" "It's really him." "It's Lion." "No way!" " Come on!" " Come on, grab him." "Hold him down!" "Run!" "I'm serious, get outta here!" "He'll kill you!" "What's wrong with him?" "Why is he fighting?" "He's mad!" "It's like he's filled with anger at everyone and everything!" "He's been like this since he got here." "There's no way we can get him back to the Emerald City like this." "Oh!" "You're here to take him away?" "Lion!" "Your ride's here!" " No!" "Wait, wait, wait!" " Over here!" "Huh?" "Where are you going?" "Are you afraid of me, coward?" "Uh, I think we should go." "Maybe find the Tin Woodsman first!" "Bobiddy, bobiddy, bobiddy boo." "Get up, Lion!" "I'm not through with you!" " Lion's in real danger." " Yes, Winkie Town!" "Hey!" "Let's go!" "I know were Tin is!" "Lion needs help." " What?" "We need help, not him." " He's getting pulverized." "Hey, Lion!" "You're nothing more than a... a pussycat!" " What are you doing?" " I don't know." "You're going to get us killed." "I have to get him out of that fight." "Kitty!" "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!" "Hey, Lion!" "Huh?" "You're a chicken!" "No offense to your dad." "Uh, we got his attention!" "Now what?" "I thought you said you didn't know how to fly this thing." "I don't!" "I just got scared and it took off!" "You did it, Ozzy!" "Whoa!" "Watch out!" "Look at you!" "You've got this flying thing down." "Whoa!" "No!" "My crystal ball!" "Ow!" "Whoa!" " Who's a little scaredy-cat?" " What are you doing?" "As long as we stay close, he'll keep chasing us." "Hmm, I can't decide if that's really clever or really stupid." "Me neither." "We better find Tin fast." "Which way?" "Heh." "Would you hurry up, already?" " Your Evilness." " Oh, what now?" "The Emerald City Council needs your signatures on these papers." "Oh, honestly, who knew running the Emerald City would be so much work?" "After you sign these, you have a meeting with a representative of the Lollipop Guild." "Plus, a photo op with Jack Pumpkinhead." "Oh, come on!" "I finally rule Oz, but I can't get one frickin' pen that works?" "!" "Honestly, has anyone found my broom or that monkey yet?" "Half of your army is looking for them." "Good." "I want them back as soon as possible." "He must be punished." "Punished..." "By the way, the emerald senate is asking for the length of your mandate and if you're calling for elections after it?" "What?" "If I had my broom, those fools wouldn't dare to question me." "I'm the Queen of Oz!" "So..." "What do I tell them?" "You tell them nothing until I have it." "Send my best men out!" "My very... best... men." "Derp!" "Derp!" "Mm-mmm." "Come on!" "Keep up scaredy cat!" "There it is, Winkie Town!" "Let's go!" "Excuse me, sir." "We're looking for..." "Attack!" "Flying monkey attack!" "Attack!" "Flying monkey attack!" "Attack!" "Attack!" "Whoa!" "Get back, Gabby!" "C-mon, it's just a doggie." "Cute little guy." "I won't hurt you." " Alarm!" " Chill." "I got this one." "Are you a messenger from the Wicked Witch?" "Take us to the Tin Woodman, now." "Uh, either you bring word from the Wicked Witch" " and we throw you in prison..." " Or... or you, you're here to attack us, and we throw you in prison." "Hey!" "Mess with her, you mess with me, bub!" "Huh?" "Sir?" "Could you please take us to Tin Woodman?" "We need to talk to him." "Hmm?" "Mm-hmm." "I don't think the Tin Woodman will talk to you." "Why?" "Follow me." "He's been like this since we found him and brought him back to town." " Mr. Tin Woodman?" " So much pain!" "Floods, tornadoes, everywhere!" "Earthquakes, stubbed toes..." "I can't stop it!" "But Mr. Woodman, nobody can stop that kinda stuff." "Uh-oh, you shouldn't have said that." "There is no hope." "This guy is pathetic." "Yes, I am." "You're wrong, there is always hope, but you have to stay strong Tin..." "You're a king!" "I am?" "Mm-hmm." "Attack!" "Flying monkey attack!" " It was a trap." " No, not a trap." "Hello." "Hope you don't mind if we brought a "friend"?" "Derp." "Wait, he's your friend?" "I thought I was your friend!" "No, I mean like, "we brought along a friend,"" "like it's scary." "Come on!" " Oh!" " Derp!" "Derp?" "Uh-oh." "Derp!" "Please, Mr. Woodman, we have to go." "Let's report to Eveline what's happening." "Please, Lion is coming!" "Lion?" "Lion!" "Lion, bad!" "Look!" "Ow, my head." "Where am I?" "Um, you're in Winkie Town, sir." "You?" "Why did you do it?" "Huh?" "Do what?" "Why did you help Eveline steal the broom?" "I had to!" "My dad said I had to!" "Eveline said I had to!" "If I said to you to jump off the bridge, would you?" "Yes!" "I mean, no, but I feel like I'm a disappointment to my dad." "I wanted to prove that I'm not!" "But I..." "Hey, he saved your life!" "You were in real bad shape, mister!" " I was just so... angry!" " You were under a curse." " I'm better now." " Please, Mr. Lion," "I need your help, along with the other kings." "Someone has to stop Eveline and help my father." "Oh, he's a chicken." "No, wait, I mean, his father is a chicken." "Thanks for saving me." "You're a brave little monkey." "The people of this city will accept the authority and legitimacy of my administration." "Hey!" "Eveline!" "We have news!" "Unnecessary!" "I currently have my best men looking for my broom." "Your best men?" "I thought you sent us!" "You sent these imbeciles?" "Uh..." "All your men are sort of the same." "That's true." "Report." "The broom stealing monkey is gathering the Kings of Oz." "What?" "!" "Oh, he said that the broom stealing monkey..." "I know!" "I'm not deaf!" "If the Three Kings are going to help that pint-sized pea-brain, then I might need a little backup of my own." "The tinsmiths say they will have Tin Woodman repaired in two weeks." "Uh, he doesn't have that kind of time." "No." "I definitely don't." "Yeah, Glinda can't wait that long either." "Hmm..." "I know one guy who's smart enough to put him back together in a quick." "Uh..." "Scarecrow!" "Which way Gabby?" "How would I know?" "The crystal ball completely shattered." "Uh, maybe you could use something else?" "Hmm..." "Bobbidy-bobbidy-bobbidy-boo." "We go... that way!" "All right, kids, let's go." "Uh, anybody need to go to the bathroom first?" "Huh?" "Mm-mm." "We've got a long trip ahead of us." "I should really go to the bathroom, too." "Huh?" "Gotta stop." "Just for a second." "Look!" "I see something!" " Hello?" " Shh!" "It's a library!" "It's the archive of Oz." "It's where they put everything when it gets really, really old." "That's him!" "He's here!" "Where?" "Which way do we go?" "It's like a maze." ""The Labyrinth of knowledge." Let's stick together." "Or not." "Wingo!" "Where's Mama's baby?" "My-my!"

"I'm going." "Better safe than sorry." "Seriously?" "You can't leave me here..." " Huh?" " Hmm?" "Piece of junk!" "Why is it so complicated?" "The problem is I'm just not techie enough." "Is this on?" "Hello?" "Okay, and were up and running." "Attention, Oz!" "Among you is an ungrateful little monkey that has stolen my broom, and I want it back!" "Ozzy?" "Listen up now, dear I'll speak slowly, because I know you monkeys aren't the brightest." "If you do not return my broom to me in one hour," "I will cook a Goliath chicken soup." "Do you understand me?" "Bring it to me now!" "My patience is running thin!" "Don't worry, we won't let anything happen to your father." "Maybe if I give her the broom..." "Now, logically speaking, you see," "If Eveline gets her broom back, she'll have her magic back." "And it won't matter if we've rescued your dad, you see." " She'll just use magic again!" " We have to go face her." "Listen, she expects Ozzy in one hour." "We'll take her by surprise." "You can't see the Witch, nobody gets to see the..." "Uh... hello?" "Down here." " Who are you?" " I'm a flying monkey!" "Part of the Queen's loyal staff!" "I live to serve." "I do whatever stupid thing she says." " I didn't uh..." " I know what you mean." "Well, why don't you just fly like everybody else?" "Hmm?" "I... uh, well, because..." "You can fly with those puny little wings, can't you?" "This is no laughing matter!" "Don't laugh!" "'Less you want trouble, Mr. Door Guy." "Don't you know who I am?" "I am a guy who you don't know..." " What?" " What?" "Shoo, shoo, get away!" "Shoo, shoo get away!" "Shoo." "Huh?" " Uh-oh." " Open the door." "Yes, Sir." "Look, Ozzy, it's time you forget you're the littlest anything." "It doesn't matter, do you understand?" "Easy for you to say." "You're like the bravest lion ever!" "I wasn't always." "Once I was very cowardly." " Everything scared me!" " For real-sies?" "Everything, he wouldn't even roar, he moaned." "He was afraid of his own tail!" " Of his own fleas!" " Of his own..." "OK, OK!" "He gets it!" "I can't do this!" "I'm scared, too scared..." "You have been brave enough..." "We'll fight for you." " We'll outsmart Eveline!" " And bring your father back!" "Thanks." "Stay here." "Keep an eye on that broom." "Yes, sir!" "Will do!" "Is the trap ready yet?" " Yes, your Evilness." " Is my army in position?" "Yes, waiting for your orders." "Are my lashes on fleek?" "Eh... yes." "I guess." "I knew it!" "Bring me the prisoners." "Release them!" "You arrived earlier than I anticipated." "Where is the monkey?" "He's not going to face you." "Come on, Eveline, he's just a kid." "Release the chicken and the girl." "That's cute." "Giving orders to me..." "Go time!" "They may be stupid, but monkeys do know how to fight." "Eveline!" "Ozzy!" "Well, well, well..." "You've been quite the monkey on my back." "Give me the broom." "Come to Mama, little coward." " Dad!" " Give it here!" "I can turn him back into a primate, but you have to give me the broom." "No!" "You're just a big old bully!" "None of us should listen to you!" "Get him, Derp." "Somebody end this monkey business now." "You guys, the only reason Eveline has any power at all, is because you do what she says!" "Now stupid monkeys!" "You're all so afraid of her, but without you, she's nothing." "Mmm, yeah, that is true, y'know." "She doesn't even have her magic power, I have it right here." "Just hand over the broom!" "Forget about Daddy?" "'Cause I'm craving chicken soup!" "Without your broom, you can't do anything." "Come on!" "Give it here, boy!" "Dad, I'm sorry, but I have to do this." "No!" "It's over!" "No, no, no!" "He broke the broom!" "That had her magic in it!" "She won't get her magic back?" " He broke the broom!" " He broke the broom." "I really can't believe it, but he really broke that broom." "Don't just stand there, you meatballs... get him!" "No!" "Who said, "No?" Did somebody say, "No?"" " No." " No!" "Yes!" " I mean... no!" " No!" "You are nothing more than sheep!" "Hmm?" "Huh?" " Whoa!" " Whoa, whoa..." "Give it to me!" "No!" "Not again!" "I'm re-melting!" "I'm re-melting!" "I'm re-melting..." "I did it!" "Uh, looks like I need to find another job." "Huh?" " Ozzy!" " Gabby!" "Way to go, Ozzy!" "Gabby, I really couldn't have done this without you." "Trust me." "I know." "Dad!" "Oh..." "Oh, Dad." "Don't worry, Glinda will help." "But we didn't find any Frogwood." "We've had Frogwood the whole time." "We have?" "Eveline's broom, is made of Frogwood." "Uh..." "Hey, I'm back!" "Things got better here in Oz." "Glinda got rid of Eveline's tower hanging over the palace." "Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow came back to Emerald City." "And Gabby... well..."

Adenovirus E4orf4 induces HPV-16 late L1 mRNA production.
The adenovirus E4orf4 protein regulates the switch from early to late gene expression during the adenoviral replication cycle. Here we report that overexpression of adenovirus E4orf4 induces human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) late gene expression from subgenomic expression plasmids. E4orf4 specifically overcomes the negative effects of two splicing silencers at the two late HPV-16 splice sites SD3632 and SA5639. This results in the production of HPV-16 spliced L1 mRNAs. We show that the interaction of E4orf4 with protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is necessary for induction of HPV-16 late gene expression. Also an E4orf4 mutant that fails to bind the cellular splicing factor ASF/SF2 fails to induce L1 mRNA production. Collectively, these results suggest that dephosphorylation of SR proteins by E4orf4 activates HPV-16 late gene expression. Indeed, a mutant ASF/SF2 protein in which the RS-domain had been deleted could itself induce HPV-16 late gene expression, whereas wild type ASF/SF2 could not. | 2024-06-21T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/5968 |
XDP Replacement Guarantee - Electronic Performance Products (1 YEAR)
1 year guaranteed replacement of your electronic performance part purchase.
Manufacturer:
XDP
We fix it!
We replace it!
Or we give you every penny back!
We’ll even pick it up & send it back for…FREE!
XDP would like to offer you the opportunity to enhance the manufacturers warranty policy with our XDP Replacement Guarantee. This coverage protects your electronic performance part for one year from the purchase date. XDP will replace or repair your defective product with the same exact part number for one year after your purchase and cover all shipping costs.
The thing about electronics is that when they experience a failure, 9 out of 10 times the part must be returned for service. Fortunately, even after your blanket XDP 30 day coverage period has passed, the electronic manufacture usually covers the part for a set period of time depending on the manufacturer. However, in almost all cases they do not cover the cost of shipping the part back to them or the return shipping to get the part back to you after it is repaired. But if the part can’t be fixed, it’s up to the manufacturer to decide what they will replace the unit with. What if your model is discontinued or unavailable? Then what?
XDP wanted to offer a simple, low cost coverage plan that would remove the guesswork, remove any hidden costs down the line, and just make it simple for our customers. We wanted a no hassle plan for our customers who operate in a commercial or heavy-duty environment. We wanted a plan that protected guys who were just a little bit tougher on their toys growing up. Most of all we wanted a plan that we could offer cheap and that would have no strings attached or hoops for the customer to jump through should they need a piece of electronics back up and running fast!
In most cases if you have just one issue with your product this plan will pay for itself in shipping cost alone.
How it works:
1. Add your desired electronic performance part to the shopping cart
2. Select the product price range from the drop down menu above.
3. Click "ADD TO CART" and proceed with check-out
That's it, your product will now be covered. You do not need to fill out any additional paper work.
What it covers:
Electronic Performance Parts Only (Chips, Modules and Programmers)
Normal, everyday wear and tear
Mechanical and electrical failure
Environmental factors like heat, dust and humidity
Defects in materials and workmanship
What it does NOT cover
Lost or stolen units and units missing parts
Cracked or damaged LCD screens
VIN Locked Downloaders

Program Updates / New Version Releases
How do you use it?
Fill out our online return request form located here. If we determine a replacement unit is required we will have the product picked up by UPS and inspect it. We will then either repair your unit or have a replacement sent back to you.
Exclusions & Restrictions:
This is a replacement plan and therefore XDP will NOT refund your money. If your product is not reparable and/or the product is no longer available from the manufacturer XDP will issue you a store credit for the original purchase price of the product.

$\begingroup$
So after reading and thinking about it more this is my explanation (thanks software foundations):
The key confusion for me seems to be the meaning of $P[e/x]$ (replaces every free instance of x with e). What this does is wherever you see the symbol $x$ literally remove it and place $e$. e.g. $ P[e/x] = (x+y+1)[e/x] \to P[e/x] = (e+y+1)$ so notice how $x$ literally disappeared from $P$. So what we want is once we do the assignment:
$$ x:= e$$
that the statement is true if we had $x$ instead of $e$. So if the rule is:
$$ \{ P[e/x] \} x:= e \{ P \}$$
then what we want is, when we plug $x$ for $e$ we want the statement in consideration to be true. So before we started the code we have $P[e/x]$. Then we run the assignment and all instances of $e$ disappear and we get $x$'s to replace them. That must be true if the code that ran was assignment (since $x$ now hold the value $e$, so you can remove $e$'s and place $x$).
Thats the explanation of the abstract concept. Lets (shamelessly) use the software foundations (SF) example:
{{ Y = 1 }} X ::= Y {{ X = 1 }} In English: if we start out in a state where the value of Y is 1 and we assign Y to X, then we'll finish in a state where X is 1. That is, the property of being equal to 1 gets transferred from Y to X.
Another useful paragraph from SF:
Similarly, in {{ Y + Z = 1 }} X ::= Y + Z {{ X = 1 }} the same property (being equal to one) gets transferred to X from the expression Y + Z on the right-hand side of the assignment. More generally, if a is any arithmetic expression, then {{ a = 1 }} X ::= a {{ X = 1 }} is a valid Hoare triple.
Addendum from comment's great observation:
it is important to recognize that the rule { P [ e / x ] } x := e { P } allows both the expression e and the variable x to occur in the postcondition. In other words, the inference rule allows you to deduce a postcondition in which any subset of the occurrences of e in the precondition have been replaced with x , including none of them. Moreover, it allows you to deduce all of these different postconditions simultaneously.
Reply to bonus why is
1) $ \{P[e/x]\} x:=e \{P\} $
better than
2) $ \{ Q \} x:=e \{Q[x/e]\} $:
Besides the subtle point of replacing x with expressions that might be invisible (e.g. e=0, should we replace $0$ with an infinite number of $x$'s? What if the zeros are not there...the rules should be syntactic but I think it's better to avoid such confusions), I think this is the reason: | 2024-03-12T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/7129 |
N-terminal domain of Pyrococcus furiosus l-asparaginase functions as a non-specific, stable, molecular chaperone.
The enzyme l-asparaginase of Pyrococcus furiosus (PfA) functions as a dimer with each monomer consisting of distinct N- and C-terminal domains (NPfA and CPfA, respectively), connected by a linker. Here we present data to show that NPfA functions as a non-specific molecular chaperone. Independently expressed NPfA refolded spontaneously whereas CPfA formed insoluble aggregates. However, when mixed and refolded together, NPfA augmented CPfA to fold with ~90% recovery. NPfA also protected a variety of substrate proteins from thermal and refolding-mediated aggregation as monitored by a reduction in light scattering. The co-appearance of substrate protein with NPfA in antibody pull-down assays as well as in eluted gel filtration peaks indicated direct protein-protein interaction. These interactions were hydrophobic in nature as determined by 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid fluorescence. NPfA inhibited polyglutamine-mediated amyloid formation and also facilitated disintegration of preformed amyloid fibrils of amyloid-β (1-42) as determined by reverse-phase HPLC-based sedimentation assay and thioflavin T binding assays, respectively. Dynamic light scattering experiments suggested that NPfA readily assembled into polydispersed oligomeric species. With no sequence similarity to α-crystallin or any known molecular chaperone, we present here NPfA as a novel molecular chaperone. | 2024-07-10T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/6094 |

Q:
How to execute a same query for 7 days in Oracle sql developer
I have a query
select count(*)
from purchases
where START_TIME>=TO_DATE('10-NOV-2017 00:00','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI') AND START_TIME<TO_DATE('10-NOV-2017 01:00','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI') and
CLIENT_ID in (1,54);
and by using this I am gathering stats for an hour. But I am going to need stats everyday for the same time for past 7 days.
I mean, from above query I am gathering between 10-NOV-2017 00:00 and 10-NOV-2017 01:00 and similarly I need to gather for 09-NOV-2017 00:00 to 09-NOV-2017 01:00 and so on for past 7 days.
And it should print like
Date | Count
+-------------+-------+
10-NOV-2017 | 100
09-NOV-2017 | 110
Is it achievable ?
A:
This should work in your case:
SELECT TRUNC (p.start_time), COUNT (*)
FROM purchases p
WHERE START_TIME >= sysdate - INTERVAL '7' DAY
AND START_TIME <= sysdate
AND TO_CHAR (start_time, 'HH24:MI') IN ('00:00', '01:00')
AND CLIENT_ID IN (1, 54)
GROUP BY p.start_time

Photo shoot..and bet you can't not laugh
Go ahead...see if you can watch this without laughing...
Looks like the AirBnB season has come to an end, so I think an adventure is needed. I was going to go north a bit but by the time I can actually get going, it'll be mid of October and perhaps a week later than that. I figure maybe a wander down to Seattle and onto the coast of Washington at Aberdeen and then south a bit into Oregon until I turn around. South Bend in Wa has a great bar that juts out over the river and they have platters of fresh oysters....I usually seem to arrive about 11am and then have to decide...do I have two beers and a dozen..or stay the day and crash into the RV when ready. hhmmmmmm.....
Had a wonderful meet-up with Lynne Bright from the Slabs. She was the head honcho of the Oasis Cafe back when I was there and she showed me the ropes and I cooked a bit in the Cafe..and just fit right in. Anyway..she was in the area to visit one of her sons and hold the grandchild..Alexander. We were invited to the family home for a huge big farm dinner...oh God that was good!
And animals at the farm
Down in Oroville a week ago and dinner at Rancho Grande...one of the side dishes..Corditio...pickled cabbage salad. Cabbage, jalapeno's, onion, carrot sugar, salt Apple Cider vinigar..and it is so good, I had to make some. I fire roasted the peppers on the bbq...and then cut and blended and put it all together and let it set for the prescribed 24 hours before trying. Oh dear Lord that is good....of course, I don't have that filter that is listed as 'moderation'...I just had to use 3 peppers and lots of pepper..and cilantro. So..some of you won't care for it.
Thing I watch...sharing with you

Effect of dietary inulin and phytase on mineral digestibility and tissue retention in weanling and growing swine.
The effect of dietary phytase and the prebiotic inulin on apparent mineral digestibility, bone mineralization, and tissue mineral contents was evaluated in weanling and growing pigs. In Exp. 1, inulin and phytase were incorporated in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments with 8 replicate pens per treatment in a randomized complete block design. There were 2 levels of phytase [0 and 1000 phytase units (FTU)/kg] and 3 levels of chicory inulin (0, 3, and 6%). Weanling pigs (17 d of age; 5 or 4 pigs per pen) with an initial BW of 6.0 ± 0.6 kg were evaluated for 35 d postweaning. Macromineral digestibility was calculated using chromic oxide as an index in fecal samples collected during the final week of the experiment in replicates 1 through 4. On d 36, 1 pig per pen was killed and the heart, liver, kidney, and left tibia were excised and weighed. Inulin did not have any effect on growth performance measurements. Phytase increased (P < 0.05) BW on d 35 and ADG and ADFI during the 21-to-35-d and 0-to-35-d periods. Inulin did not result in increased tissue mineral concentrations on a per unit (mg/kg) or total tissue basis. Phytase increased (P < 0.05) the concentration of Zn in the liver, Mn and Zn in the heart, and Mg and Mn in the kidney. Phytase also increased (P < 0.05) total P, Mg, S, Mn, Se, and Zn in the liver as well as tibia ash. Phytase increased the digestibility of Ca (P < 0.01) and P (P < 0.05). Experiment 2 was conducted with growing pigs (initial BW, 41 ± 5 kg) to evaluate 2 levels of inulin (0 or 6%) and 2 levels of phytase (0 or 1000 FTU/kg) in a 2 × 2 factorial with 6 replicates in a randomized complete block design. Total urine and feces were collected for 10 d from each of 24 barrows after a 21-d acclimation period. Inulin inclusion resulted in reduced Ca digestibility (P < 0.05). Phytase increased (P < 0.05) the digestibility of both Ca and P. These results indicate that dietary inulin does not affect the overall mineral status or growth performance of pigs, whereas phytase increases the utilization of Ca and several microminerals, in addition to P, and also increases growth performance. Inulin and phytase do not appear to interact to affect pig growth or mineral status. | 2024-02-17T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/3781 |

I don't know much about myself anymore! I used to be an energetic, involved, fun-loving, compassionate and loving person. Very family oriented and had a lot of friends. Not so much anymore. Not complaining, just stating a fact of life. Went thru Peg-Intron/Ribaviri
...
[More]n treatment from Sept 2006 to Sept 2007. I was an interior designer at the time my hep C went "active". I had it for many years in an "inactive" state which caused me mainly joint pain and fatigue, but none of it debilitating, just irritating. I was very isolated and alone during my tx because I just couldn't get up and go. I haven't been able to resume a "normal" lifestyle because I feel sooooooo bad all of the time. It never ends. I miss my old life. I am trying my best, with all my strength, (which is considerable, if I do say so myself) to eke out a little bit if that life, a little bit of the time, day by day, hoping to gradually restore some of the good things I used to have and do. Don't get me wrong, I am very blessed with the people in my life and they've all done so much for me, but I want to get back to the fun stuff I had the energy to do. That's what it is--no energy--and whatever energy I do have, whatever I do HURTS. ALL OVER. Sometimes I think it will never end, but I can't give up hope and can't give up trying. I just get really really frustrated sometimes. Some days I think I can't take one more minute, or even one more second of the pain and frustration, but my wonderful husband who is my greatest gift, and my soooo supportive parents, who are a blessing to me, and my brothers and their beautiful wives, my sons and my beautiful and precious daughters in law and grand daughters are a lot to be blessed with, so day by day, "I breath in, and I breath out" and keep putting one foot in front of another.

Just a quick note to say hi! How are you doing? I have been absent for awhile, looks like i will be doing another treatment soon...yeah. I won't be doing it till next year though. Just wondering how things are going for you. skb28462
Just a quick note to say hi! How have you been? Did you get thru the therapy? I have been preoccupied but i haven't forgotten my friends on this site. It's been a wild ride for the last year. Dealing with Caden's parents and dss have been front and center. My stress levels are super high. Good news tho, my tests in August were still good, don't need therapy yet. Maybe some psychology therapy. How are your parents, did your dad get better? Send me a note when you can, we movd from the beach back to where our kids are, still don't know if it was a good move, sitting on the fence with that for now. skb28642.....sherri
Just a quick note to say hi! How are things going for you? I haven't been here in a while. Been wrapped up in other life stuff, some good, some not so good and some just plain bad. I don't know how any of the friends i made on this forum are doing. I haven't had time to worry with my hep c. I hope you are doing well. Please forgive me for my absence.

Clonidine and modification of perioperative outcome.
Perioperative cardiac risk reduction using perioperative beta-blockade is being widely adopted. Recent research has identified a second-line agent, perioperative clonidine, that can be used to reduce the risk of perioperative cardiac mortality. Perioperative clonidine has some advantages over perioperative beta-blockers because it has less risk of bronchospasm in asthmatics and it comes in a transcutaneous form that can be used in patients who are not taking oral medications ('NPO'). Clonidine has been used for many purposes, including reduction of blood pressure in hypertension, reduction in alcohol and drug withdrawal phenomena, reduction in nicotine withdrawal symptoms during smoking cessation, analgesia, reduction in stress response, and now as an anti-ischemic agent to reduce the risk of perioperative myocardial ischemia and perioperative mortality. Administration of perioperative clonidine can reduce the risk of perioperative myocardial ischemia and mortality in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Perioperative clonidine comes in a patch form that can be used in patients who are not taking medications by mouth, and can be used when beta-blockers are contraindicated (for asthmatics or patients with high-grade atrioventricular block). | 2023-09-11T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/9840 |

A record breaking crowd of 807 was on hand in Mobile, Alabama at the Archbishop Lipscomb Athletic Complex to see AFC Mobile fall in its inaugural match by a score of 2-1 to the Gulf Coast Texans of Pensacola, Florida.
The Texans opened the scoring early when Dillon Gallet raced down the left-hand side of the pitch and sent a shot soaring inside the far post from a tight angle. The Texans continued to control possession until the 32nd minute, when Moses Muhubao netted AFC Mobile’s first ever goal after receiving a beautiful ball over the Texans’ back line, smashing it past Texans goalkeeper Rudy Seelmann.
“It was great to see the large crowd. The boys fed off their energy and it was an unbelievable home atmosphere,” said head coach Nate Nicholas. “When we scored, the crowd was electric.”
The Texans nearly regained the lead when Felipe Lawall’s shot ricocheted off the upright. Minutes later, the Texans went back up after Gallet scored his second goal of the night. Soon after, Mobile failed to convert a free kick after the Texans’ Stephen Munoz was shown a yellow card. KC Espoir nearly leveled the score for Mobile in stoppage time of the first half, but his shot from outside the box was easily saved.
Mobile started the second half with a renewed sense of energy. Chisom Ogbonna took a shot from a tight angle on the left-hand side but it was saved. The second half was full of back-and-forth play in the midfield, with both teams struggling to find their pace.
In the 81st minute, Mobile’s Chris Rumsey came into the game and made his presence known immediately as he sent a shot just over the crossbar on his first touch of the game. In stoppage time, the Texans’ Chris Searcy was show two yellow cards for time wasting and dissent. Mobile had a chance to equalize late in the game when Espoir played the ball to Batevya Mediateur, but in the attacking third, but the ball was cleared.
The 807 fans in attendance represented the largest crowd ever for a Gulf Coast Premier League game.
“It’s surreal to have that many people for a soccer game in Mobile.” said AFC Mobile president Abram Chamberlain. “It’s an experience for our team to build on; it’s an experience for us to build on, but this is only the beginning for AFC Mobile.
AFC Mobile will head to Kenner, Louisiana for its first away game on Saturday, May 20th to take on the Louisiana Fire, who lost to Gaffa FC 3-2 on Saturday. Kickoff for next week’s game is set for 5:00 p.m.

Senators, thank you both. We're joined by matthew dowd, michael eric dyson, james carville and mary matalin. Thank you all for being here. Matthew, it was interesting. It does seem like on both sides, you have a real, real deep desire to avoid any kind of government shutdown any time soon. Well, when a disaster happens, in the aftermath of a disaster, which happened this summer, when everybody lost in the middle of it. President obama, congress, everybody. They understand they can't go through it again. My fear is we'll have a temporary fix. We'll get through it. Better than not doing it. But we're not going to have a long-term fix for the problem we associate with washington. You have a general public that doesn't trust anybody in washington, d.C. You saw those senators, mary, who believe something will get done. Still some resistance among some republicans to any kind of accommodation now to the democrats on spending. Are you confident that a deal in the senate will get through the house? The reason that the house is where they are, positioned where they are, is because half of them have been elected in the last two cycles, where spending has been a huge issue for americans. Real americans understand we cannot continue spending at the rates that we are. So I don't know. But, matthew's right in that this is no fix. This is just one step ahead of the sheriff, that's why the trust factor is so low. It doesn't comport with reality. The shutdown didn't hurt the economy, if the numbers are to be believed. Surprisingly. Yeah. No. And it doesn't really hurt politicians in the larger sense. It's like, all the other packages and sequesters and all that. People just have -- just don't trust washington. All looks like a lot of nonsense to them. A fair amount of good economic this week out there, james. Good news. Pretty good. It's gotten better. Democrats took a big hit after the health care rollout. The improved numbers and statistics on the health care thing might lead to a little better result. We don't know that right now. Meanwhile, michael eric dyson, we saw this against the backdrop of the protests. I guess one of the questions i have is, do you think -- what do you think this will lead to in the end? You saw the resistance in the congress. It's already changed the atmosphere in washington, d.C. When president barack obama gives a major speech on income inequality. People at the left have been nipping at his heeling for awhile to say, speak about us. They haven't talked about the working poor. They're the faces we see out there. They work 40, 50, 60 hours a week. They can barely make it above the poverty level. They have a choice, kind of sophie's choice in the areas where it's my child in terms of education and I go to get the report card. Or I stay at work. If I miss to go to the school, I'll lose one of my jobs. It's a kind of triage going on there. The bleeding out is leading to the president of the united states of america to finally and substantively address the social inequities that we won't be able to sustain. We can't talk about job growth and inflation if we don't deal with the people at the bottom. I think michael touches on a good point. The interesting dynamic that we see now, we have a gdp, it goes up3%. Everybody cheers. The job number, everybody says is doing good. Wealth accumulated by the top 5%. More millionaires and billionaires. 70% of the country believes we're on the wrong track. And the poverty level today is higher than it's ever been. Back to before the great society. And I think that dynamic, however you define that, it's a building brewing pot in the country. Where the wealthiest people in the country are doing absolutely fabulous in certain pockets of the country. Where the vast majority of the country are not. They haven't been doing well for a generation. Please, 7% in unemployment. The new normal. If the labor in force participation rate were calculated in there and it was what it was prerecession, we would be somewhere between 9% and 11% of unemployment. This is the worst recovery in almost seven decades. The duration of unemployment. The new normal is not a great -- those are not incompatible. How does the republican party get ahead of this, mary? If you look at what happened in the last campaign, mitt romney, maybe stylistically, it was very difficult for him to address this. But won't the parties have to have a more populus feel to be successful the next time around? Populist? It has to be common sense and it has to be full-throated. The biggest challenge of our time is not income inequality. It's job creation. The president's signature issues, domestic, affordable health care, have reduced unemployment. Do you think people who are unemployed or are making low wa wages care more about that they don't have a job than what you're making or any of us are making? I don't think so. I mean, that does not grow the economy. I think in this sense, it's not that poor people are not trying to quibble over who is getting the bigger piece of the pie. The point is, they understand that those two things are related. They're not unrelated. If you have income inequality that hard where the stagnation of wages is the basis for the accumulation of wealth with those who have a whole bunch. The pie is shrinking at the bottom. It's not a question of their envi of those at the top. It's about can I get enough day care to help me out? How is it shrinking, with all due respect? Are you saying that as people make wealth, poor people get poorer? How does that work? I'm saying that the distribution mechanisms create a kaz m between the have gots and the have-nots. Can I make a jaw-dropping point? This week, a study came out that said one-third of all bank tellers are on public assistance. People with a level of skill. I did that at one time in my life. Why don't we pass a law to say if you were bailed out or you get free money from the fed or your deposits are insured or you're too big to fail, if the government backs you to that extent, and that you're that profitable an industry, you have to pay your people a living wage. Why do we have one-third of our bank tellers in this country -- it's not that finance is not making a lot of money. That's not the question at all. George, the politics of this, you asked a question, what should the republicans do? I think the democrats and republicans are trapped in an old mantra and an old status quo. Republicans refuse, in many ways, to take on wall street in a direct way. They would be so much benefited if they adopted some of elizabeth warren's messages. Saying the big banks took us down this path along with a washington is not fixing the problems. Democrats, on the other hand, have an anti-wall street, anti-big bank, anti-big corporation, but they're stuck in a mantra saying the government needs to solve this problem. If somebody came along and said I'm going to bridge this and it's about washington is not doing the job, wall street is not doing the job. Let's get back to middle america. You know who is doing that? Ted cruz and the tea party. We're just going to disagree on that. Let her say how the tea party is doing it, then respond. On the continual of cruz and rand, I know you don't like his detroit project, but it's better than another bailout. They're proposing what you're saying. They don't have a collective solution. What they say is, let's return it all to the individuals. We need a collective solution to the problem not based in washington. See, when you say it's not a government, it hasn't been caused by government, i disagree. When you talk about unemployment going up to maybe 7, 8, 9% if we adjust it. Look at what is happening in latino and african-american communities. With that number, it's closer to 20. The government project of keeping people out of business. Black and latino people working in the public sector. You have an attack on the public sector, you're talking about people that have had an opportunity to have a job because of the practices of discrimination in the private sector. We can't depend on the private sector itself to adjust for its own bias when it's prevented people from flourishing. Democrats and republicans. James, there's a debate going on inside the democratic party, elizabeth warren and others fear hillary clinton is too close to the big banks. There was a third way thing back and forth. It's always been a thing in the democratic party. We have had the wall street democrats and the more populist democrats. I think the party is moving away. I'll give credit to wall street. They gave the most succinct analysis of what is going on in the country. It was given by none other than the ceo of goldman sachs. He said we know how to create wealth, we just don't know how to distribute it. The truth of the matter is absolutely right. It's not a lack of wealth creation. It's a lack of people sharing in the benefits of it. That's why the minimum wage, bank tellers and all this. The claptrap. One thing you can say about elizabeth warren is she's a full-throated, proud, loud liberal. Unlike the president who tries to dress up his rhetoric. She is -- she is saying what a liberal agenda would look like, which has never worked. She also asked when attacked in that op ed, tell me. Be transparent. Tell me who is bank-rolling you. What banks are in bed with what think tanks? Elizabeth warren is right that the wall street has accumulated most of the wealth in the country while the rest of the country has not benefited from it. She is absolutely right. Do we think unregulated capitalism has worked? Brilliantly? I don't think there is a single person in the world who would say that. Hold on a second. We only have a couple of minutes left. Before we go, I want your reflections on nelson mandela. Michael erik dyson, you met him. So many american political activists really cut their teeth fighting for nelson mandela. No question. I'm of the same generation of president obama. And taking a stand against apartheid in the university community and more broadly in terms of dealing with the disinvestment strategies. Also challenging ronald reagan's engagement approach. I think conservatives get amnesia here when they forget that dick cheney wanted to put him on the terrorist list and insisted he stay there. That ronald reagan resisted. He said on the one hand that else in. Mandela should be released, but he depended on a white supremacist government to reform itself from within. And the issue, mar where? When will you ever get tired of beating up on darth vader, who said nelson mandela is a good man. As we saw in the earlier segment, it was a complicated situation. The anc was a terrorist organization at one point. He has since said great things about nelson mandela. Like that what's been said about nelson mandela is said in the same way the pope said what he did. Forgiveness and redemption. The pope's widely misinterpreted. And mischaracterized statements. It's active engagement. Taking care of each other with solidarity and subsidiary. When you say about accusing darth vader, so to speak. This is not just about rhetoric. This is the policy that prevented the anc -- when they had the feet on the neck of nelson mandela -- he said, let's forgive. Let's forgive dick cheney. Let's forgive these people. I think one of the fascinating things about nelson mandela, he wasn't a saint. He made a lot of mistakes. He readily admitted it. He said, I'm not a saint unless you think a saint is a sinner who gets up and tries again every time. He changed an entire country and a world in what he said. Done through acts of humility. Like the pope has done. Authentic acts of humility. I think -- one of the great things about my life is that i got to live at the same time that he did. If you look at, like christ, he was everything you said. He was forgiving, flawed. Everything that a human being is and everything that a great human being is. We should embrace all of it. More than that. You spend 27 years in jail. You forgive your jailers? That's a -- that's reading the new testament somewhere. Walking the walk. That will have to be the last word. Thank you all very much.

There are numerous known examples of a loudspeaker or megaphone, collectively “megaphone,” which typically comprise a microphone, an amplifier, a handle, a speaker, and a bell surrounding the speaker to provide directional amplification of sound through the microphone. Typically, these megaphones are held by a user and comprise a trigger below the bell, to turn on and off the microphone, allowing selective amplification of sounds.
These devices are often used in situations where there is a need to amplify the voice of a speaker. One such occurrence is on an athletic field, where a single person provides instruction to participants situated through the athletic field. When not in use, the megaphone is often carried over the shoulder, or is frequently placed on the ground or in a carrying device where the megaphone is susceptible to impact resulting in breakage of the megaphone, typically the handle, body, or the bell. Such typical use frequently results in breakage of the megaphone.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,692,913 to Katnimori and U.S. Pat. No. 2,808,458 to Turpin and Leger, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety, identify a typical electronic megaphone allowing amplification of voice. These inventions, however, are susceptible to damage, in particular to the bell or the handle through typical use.
There is a need for a new rugged portable megaphone that facilitates the amplification of sound while comprising a rugged structure. | 2024-03-21T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/6827 |

Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a shift register, and more particularly to a shift register for improving display quality and a display apparatus having such shift register.
Description of Related Art
A flat panel display device, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) device or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display device, generally has a lot of shift registers for controlling gray levels of all pixels displayed in the display device at the same time point. However, the accuracy of the signals outputted at each time point should be taken into consideration for the electrical circuit design of the shift register, in order to ensure image display quality of the display device. On the other hand, for a high definition (HD) display device, the accuracy of waveforms outputted by the shift register would be as the resistance-capacitance (RC) loading increases. Such condition would lead the pixels in the display panel to receive incorrect data, or arise display issues such as spot mura defects, line mura defects or noise interference of the display apparatus can be solved, resulting in degradation of user experience. | 2024-03-18T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/8094 |

abstract: |
The negatively charged quasi-two-dimensional exciton ($X^-$) is studied numerically in the presence of a uniform perpendicular B-field and various in-plane confinements. The corresponding photoluminescence (PL) spectra, [*including*]{} shakeup processes, are calculated. These calculations provide a quantitative explanation of recent experimental PL spectra. The photoluminescence signatures of charged excitons in quantum dots are also examined. Electron-hole pair distribution functions are calculated which show the structure of the charged exciton states (both ground and excited states). Increasing excitation reflects a competition between two effects: partial ionization of [*either*]{} one [*or*]{} two electrons.\

title: Photoluminescence signatures of negatively charged magnetoexcitons

Introduction
============
Excitons ($X$) are crucial to the understanding of optical spectra from quantum wells with a low electron density. If the electron density is increased the excitonic effects are destroyed by phase-space filling from the other electrons and a Fermi Edge Singularity (FES) may be seen. Recent experiments have shown that as the electron density is lowered, the FES evolves into a discrete line which is not an exciton but is instead attributed to the negatively charged exciton ($X^-=X+e^-$) [@Shields1] [@Finkelstein2]. The negatively charged exciton was first predicted by Lampert in analogy with the various ions of hydrogen [@Lampert1]. Further variational studies have been carried out in both three dimensions (3D) [@Munschy1] and two dimensions (2D) [@Stebe1]. It is found that the restriction to 2D increases the binding energy of the second electron to about ten times its 3D value. This should facilitate the observation of the $X^-$ and, consequently, most experimental studies are carried out in the quasi-2D environment of the quantum well. Negatively charged excitons were first observed in ${\rm
CdTe/Cd_{1-x}Zn_{x}Te}$ quantum wells [@Kheng1] [@Kheng2] and were later seen in ${\rm GaAs/Ga_{1-x}Al_{x}As}$ [@Shields1] [@Finkelstein1] [@Finkelstein2] [@Shields2] [@Buhmann1] [@Shields3]. Most of the experimental spectra are obtained using polarized photoluminescence (PL) techniques. A constant B-field is often applied perpendicular to the well since this allows a charged exciton to form even at electron densities for which an FES would be seen in zero field [@Kheng2]. Recently the low energy tails of the PL spectra have been examined and evidence of shakeup processes have been found [@FinkelsteinSU]. These occur when the charged exciton undergoes electron-hole recombination leaving the remaining electron in an excited state. Positively charged excitons, consisting of an electron and two holes ($X^+=X+h^+$) have also been observed in p-tpye quantum wells [@Finkelstein2] [@ShieldsX+1] [@ShieldsX+2].
Recent theoretical studies of the charged exciton complex consider ideal 2D systems [@Hawrylak1] and are often restricted to the lowest Landau level [@Palacios1]. In a previous paper we showed that the combined effects of (a) higher Landau level mixing and (b) the form factor emulating the finite quantum well width (i.e. quasi-2D system), are essential for understanding recent experimental $X^-$ spectra [@Chapman1].
In this paper accurate numerical solutions are presented for a quasi-2D negatively charged exciton ($X^-$) consisting of two electrons and a hole situated in an in-plane confinement potential and a perpendicular uniform B-field. The $X^-$ properties are studied over a wide range of experimentally accessible B-fields and in-plane confinements. We consider weak, intermediate and strong in-plane confinements, and use a [*range of initial angular momenta*]{} for the charged exciton. We calculate the development with B-field of the following: 1) The photoluminescence spectrum 2) the shakeup lines in the PL spectrum and 3) the electron-hole pair distribution functions. For the case of a weak in-plane confinement we can compare our results to recent experiments in high mobility quantum wells. We find that theory and experiment match very closely in both the main spectrum (Sec. \[PL\]) [*and*]{} the shakeup lines (Sec. \[SU\]). For stronger confinements our results should be compared to experiments carried out in quantum dots. To our knowledge no charged exciton species have yet been knowingly observed in quantum dots. We predict rich signatures characterizing the $X^-$ in the quantum dot and hope that these results may stimulate further experimental study in such systems (Sec. \[PL\] and Sec. \[SU\]). Finally our study of the electron-hole pair distribution functions allows us understand the structure of the charged exciton species and how this relates to the features of our calculated spectra (Sec. \[RPDF\]). We also analyse the distribution functions of the excited $X^-$ states finding that increasing excitation reflects a competition between two effects: partial ionization of [*either*]{} one [*or*]{} two electrons.
Model {#Model}
=====
The negatively charged exciton consists of two electrons and a hole interacting in a constant magnetic field according to the following Hamiltonian:
$$\begin{aligned}
{\mathcal{H}} &=& {1 \over 2m_{h}}\left[
{\bf p_{h}} - {e \over c}{\bf A}
({\bf r_{h}})\right]^{2} + {1 \over 2}m_{h}
{\omega}_{h}^{2}{\bf r_{h}^{2}}
+g_h \mu S^{z}_{h} \nonumber \\ &+&
\sum_{i=1}^2 \left\{ {1 \over 2m_e}
\left[ {\bf p_{e,i}} + {e \over c} {\bf A}
({\bf r_{e,i}}) \right]^2 + {1 \over 2}
m_e {\omega}^2_e {\bf r_{e,i}^2} +
g_e \mu S_{e,i}^z - V_{eh}(|{\bf r_{e,i}}
- {\bf r_h}|) \right\} \nonumber \\
&+& V_{ee}(|{\bf r_{e,1}} - {\bf r_{e,2}}|)\end{aligned}$$
where $m_e = 0.067 m_0$ and $m_h =
0.48 m_0$ are the masses of the conduction electrons and heavy holes respectively for GaAs. If the interactions $V_{ee}$, and $V_{eh}$ are set to zero and the symmetric gauge is chosen (i.e. ${\bf A}
({\bf r})=({\bf B \times r})/2$) the electron and hole single particle states are as follows:
$$\begin{aligned}
\Psi^{e,h}_{n,M}({\bf r}) = A^{e,h}_{n,M} r^{|M|}
{\rm e}^{iM \theta} L^{|M|}_n
\left[ {r^2 \over 2l^2_{e,h}} \right] {\rm exp}
\left[{-r^2 \over
4l^2_{e,h}}\right]\end{aligned}$$
with single particle energies
$$\begin{aligned}
E^0_e=\hbar {\overline \omega_e} \left[ n + {1
\over 2} + {|M| \over 2} \right]
+ {\hbar \omega^c_e \over 2} M \\
E^0_h=\hbar {\overline \omega_h} \left[ n + {1
\over 2} + {|M| \over 2} \right]
- {\hbar \omega^c_h \over 2} M \end{aligned}$$
$A^{e,h}_{n,M}$ is a normalisation, $L^{|M|}_n$ are associated Laguerre polynomials, $\hbar \omega_e$ and $\hbar
\omega_h$ are the parabolic confinements for the electron and the hole respectively, and $\omega^c_{e,h}
= eB/m_{e,h}$ is the electron/hole cyclotron frequency. Also ${\overline
\omega_{e,h}} =((\omega^c_{e,h})^2 + 4
\omega^2_{e,h})$. The single particle wavefunctions have characteristic length scales $l^2_{e,h} = \hbar /m_{e,h}
{\overline \omega_{e,h}}$. In this symmetric gauge the single particle wavefunctions have two quantum numbers, n and M. In the limit of weak confinement $(i.e. (\omega^c_{e,h})^2 \gg
4(\omega_{e,h})^2)$ the magnetic field dominates and the single particle states form Landau levels. For electrons, states with $M_e \le 0$ and n=0 are degenerate forming the lowest Landau level; raising n or making $M_e$ positive raises the electron energy and puts it in a higher Landau level. For the holes the positive $M_h$ states with n=0 form the lowest hole Landau level.
In the case of strong confinement $(i.e. (\omega^c_{e,h})^2 \ll 4(\omega_{e,h})^2)$ the single particle states are essentially oscillator states of the parabolic confining potential, where ${\overline \omega_{e,h}} \rightarrow
2 \omega_{e,h}$. For a given n, states with the same $|M|$ are hence degenerate. Raising either n or $|M|$ raises the energy by an integral number of $\hbar \omega_{e,h}$. For both electrons and holes, the states have definite angular momentum, $\hbar M_{e,h}$, arising from the rotational invariance of the system. The experimental data referred to in this paper is all for weak confinements. For simplicity, therefore, we refer to Landau levels throughout this paper noting that the Landau level is no-longer degenerate when the confinement is strong. The position of the particle in a given single particle state is closely related to the angular momentum of the state, M. For particles in the lowest Landau level (i.e. n=0): $$\begin{aligned}
\left<r^2\right>=2l^2\left(|M|+1\right).
\label{<r^2>}\end{aligned}$$
This paper considers three confinements: weak $(i.e. (\omega^c_{e,h})^2
\gg 4(\omega_{e,h})^2)$, intermediate $(i.e.
(\omega^c_{e,h})^2 \sim
4(\omega_{e,h})^2)$ and strong $(i.e.
(\omega^c_{e,h})^2
\ll 4(\omega_{e,h})^2)$. The cyclotron energies are $\hbar \omega^c_e
= 17.2 {\rm meV}$ and $\hbar
\omega^c_h = {\rm 2.4meV}$ at B=10 T. The confinements are chosen to be $\hbar \omega_e =$1.75 meV in the weak confinement limit, $\hbar \omega_e
=$5.58 meV in the intermediate confinement limit and $\hbar \omega_e
=$17.6 meV in the strongly confined limit. For ease of comparison we chose $\omega_h$ such that $\omega_e/\omega_h = m_h/m_e$, thereby ensuring that the electron and hole wavefunctions have equal characteristic lengths, $l^2_{e,h}=\hbar/m_{e,h}
{\overline \omega_{e,h}} = l^2$. In the case of weak confinement the magnetic field dominates and we can compare our results to those obtained from high mobility quantum wells. For intermediate and strong confinements the charged exciton is effectively in a quantum dot. In the case of intermediate confinement, the B-field dominates at reasonably large B while the confinement dominates at low B. The crossover occurs when $\omega^c_{e,h}
\sim 2\omega_{e,h}$ i.e. when B$\sim$6.5T. As expected we find interesting changes of behaviour around the crossover field strength.
The interaction potentials are Coulombic. In order to obtain a tractable model it is assumed that the single particle wavefunctions separate: ${\Psi}_e = {\phi}_e(z_e)
{\psi}_e({\bf r_e})$ and ${\Psi}_h =
{\phi}_h(z_h){\psi}_h({\bf r_h})$. A specific form for ${\phi}_{e,h}$ is chosen, thereby freezing out the z-motion and yielding a quasi-2D model. There are two different limits we can choose for ${\phi}_{e,h}$. In one limit the electrons and holes occupy the same plane but have their charge distributions smeared in a rod-like distribution along the perpendicular direction (rod geometry). In the other limit the electrons and holes exist on separate planes separated by a distance d (biplanar geometry), their charge distributions being unsmeared. The biplanar geometry is the relevant limit of systems such as a quantum well in a polarizing electric field which separates the electrons and holes. The rod geometry is suitable for quantum wells in which the electron and hole distributions are not separated in the direction perpendicular to the well. We showed in an earlier publication [@Chapman1] that the biplanar geometry doesn’t exhibit a PL signature of charged excitons for $d > l$. This lack of $X^-$ signature has been confirmed experimentally [@ShieldsEfield] for a quantum well in a perpendicular electric field. Consequently we concentrate on the rod geometry in this paper, for which:
$$\begin{aligned}
|{\phi}_{e,h}(z_{e,h})|^2 = \left\{
\begin{array}{ll}
{1 \over L}
& \mbox{if ${-L \over 2}
< z_{e,h} < {L \over 2}$} \\
0 &
\mbox{otherwise}
\end{array}
\right. \end{aligned}$$
In this work we use a rod length $L=3l$. At B=10 T, $L=240$Å for weak confinement, $L=220$Å for intermediate confinement and $L=170$Å for strong confinement.
Before proceeding with any calculation of charged exciton states it is important to identify the symmetries of the full Hamiltonian as these lead to well-defined quantum numbers, thereby allowing us to work within a restricted Hilbert space. For the charged exciton the Hamiltonian in the symmetric gauge is rotationally invariant and also conserves the total spin. The good quantum numbers for the charged exciton are therefore the total orbital angular momentum $\hbar
{\rm M}$, the total spin $\hbar {\rm S(S+1)}$ and the total z-component of the spin, $\hbar
{\rm S_z}$. Spin conservation, together with the fact that the wavefunction must be antisymmetric under interchange of the two electrons, allows us to label the charged exciton wavefunctions as either triplet or singlet. The singlet states have S=0 and ${\rm S_z=0}$ with an orbital wavefunction which is symmetric under electron interchange. The triplet states have S=1 and ${\rm S_z = \pm 1\ or \ 0}$ with an orbital wavefunction which is antisymmetric to electron interchange. Thus the charged exciton wavefunctions have the form: $$\begin{aligned}
\Psi(M,S=0,S_z=0)= \sum_{n_1 M_1 \ge n_2 M_2}
&C&^S_{n_1 M_1, n_2 M_2, n_h M_h}
\phi^S_{n_1 M_1, n_2 M_2, n_h M_h}(M)\nonumber
\\ &\chi&(S=0, S_z=0)
\nonumber \\
\Psi(M,S=1,S_z=\pm1,0)= \sum_{n_1 M_1 >
n_2 M_2}
&C&^T_{n_1 M_1, n_2 M_2, n_h M_h}
\phi^T_{n_1 M_1, n_2 M_2, n_h M_h}(M)\nonumber
\\ &\chi&(S=1, S_z=\pm1,0)\end{aligned}$$ where $$\begin{aligned}
\phi^S_{n_1 M_1, n_2 M_2, n_h M_h}(M)&=&{1
\over \surd 2}
\left\{ \phi_{n_1 M_1}
({\bf r_1})\phi_{n_2 M_2}({\bf r_2})+\phi_{n_1
M_1}
({\bf r_2})\phi_{n_2 M_2}({\bf r_1}) \right\}
\phi_{n_h M_h}({\bf r_h})
\nonumber \\
\phi^T_{n_1 M_1, n_2 M_2, n_h M_h}(M)&=&{1
\over \surd 2}
\left\{ \phi_{n_1 M_1}
({\bf r_1})\phi_{n_2 M_2}({\bf r_2})-\phi_{n_1
M_1}
({\bf r_2})\phi_{n_2 M_2}({\bf r_1}) \right\}
\phi_{n_h M_h}({\bf r_h})\end{aligned}$$ Here $\chi(S=0,S_z=0)$, $\chi(S=1,s_z=\pm1,0)$ are the usual singlet and triplet spin states respectively. The total angular momentum $M= M_1 + M_2 + M_h$. The restriction $n_1M_1 \ge n_2M_2$ is required to prevent overcounting of states. In the particular limit that the basis is restricted to the lowest Landau level, the interaction $V_{eh}=V_{ee}$ and the in-plane confinement is zero, there is a well documented hidden symmetry [@MacDonald1] [@Apalkov1]. This forces the photoluminescence energy from a triplet charged exciton to be indentical to that of the lowest exciton line. In our system this symmetry is broken by the in-plane confinement and by Landau level mixing, the latter being crucial in the case of weak confinement [@Chapman1]. This breaking of the hidden symmetry is vital if any signature of the triplet charged exciton is to be seen in photoluminescence.
The effects of the B-field and the Coulomb interaction compete: from a perturbation theory perspective the expansion parameters are given by ${a_{e,h}
/ l}$ where $a_{e,h} = \epsilon
\hbar^2/m_{e,h}e^2$ is the Bohr radius for the electron and hole respectively. Taking $B \sim 8$T and $\epsilon_r = 12.53$ yields (GaAs) ${a_h / l} =0.2$ and ${a_e / l} = 1.1$, thereby rendering any such perturbation approach unreliable. For this reason we diagonalize the charged exciton Hamiltonian exactly numerically. We perform the diagonalizations in regions of the Hilbert space charaterized by quantum numbers for the charged exciton; i.e. $M$, S and ${\rm S_z}$. The actual basis used has 5 hole Landau levels, 2 electron Landau levels and 16 angular momentum states per Landau level. A larger number of hole Landau levels is used because of the small hole cyclotron energy. A finite number of angular momentum states is used since the confinement breaks the degeneracy of the Landau level. Clearly as ${\rm B} \rightarrow 0$ an increasingly large number of Landau levels should be used. We therefore only quote our calculations for B$\ge2$ T, the reliability of the answers increasing rapidly with B-field. From comparison with published experimental data given later in this paper and in Ref. [@Chapman1] the authors believe this basis to be sufficient for capturing the essential physics of the charged exciton. For the purpose of comparison, the exciton states are calculated using the same basis in a manner identical to that used for the charged exciton. The reliability of the calculation has been verified by reproducing known results as follows: (a) in the limit of zero confinement the hidden symmetry result is recovered for B$\rightarrow \infty$, (b) the B=0 confined 2-electron results of Ref. [@Merkt1] are reproduced, (c) the main results found in a previous study on an ideal 2D charged exciton [@Hawrylak1] are obtained.
Photoluminescence Spectra {#PL}
=========================
In this section we consider the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of charged and uncharged excitons. These spectra arise from the recombination of a valence hole with a conduction electron giving out a photon of energy $\hbar \omega$ such that $\hbar \omega = E_i - E_f$ where $E_i$ and $E_f$ are the initial and final energies respectively. The recombination process conserves total angular momentum. The emitted photon has angular momentum $M_\gamma = \pm 1$ which is taken up by the atomic part of the Bloch wavefunction (i.e. transition between s ans p orbitals) causing the angular momentum of the envelope function to remain unchanged under recombination. Throughout this paper we are only dealing with envelope wavefunctions (i.e. we neglect bulk ${\bf K.p}$ bandmixing effects) hence we have the selection rule $\Delta M=0$. Consequently, only excitons with $M$=0 can undergo recombination and contribute to the PL spectrum ($X(M=0)
\rightarrow \gamma$). Now consider recombination from charged excitons. Angular momentum must still be conserved, but on recombination an electron is left in the final state. This electron can have any angular momentum, thereby allowing charged excitons with total angular momentum, M$\neq 0$ also to contribute to the PL spectrum via $X^-(M) \rightarrow
\gamma + e^-(M)$. The final electron can be in any Landau level provided it has angular momentum $M$. The higher the energy of the final state electron, the lower the PL photon energy. In this section we always consider electrons to be in the lowest Landau level in the final state. Electrons left in excited states (i.e. higher Landau levels) are considered later in this paper when we deal with shakeup processes.
We consider the recombination to involve the $\pm {3 \over 2}$ heavy holes; this is consistent with the relevant experimental work [@Shields2]. These holes combine with $\pm {1 \over 2}$ electrons giving two circularly polarised lines, $\sigma^+$ and $\sigma^-$, which are Zeeman split by the magnetic field. The spin of the remaining electron from the charged exciton has no effect on this splitting as its Zeeman energy makes the same contribution to the energies of the initial and final states. Experimentally the Zeeman splitting of the exciton PL lines is found to be less than that of the charged exciton lines [@Shields2]. For clarity therefore the calculated PL lines presented here are situated at the average energies of the $\sigma^+$ and $\sigma^-$ lines (i.e. taking $g_{e,h} \rightarrow 0$).
As well as the PL energies, we are interested in the PL strengths. Ignoring complications due to population dynamics, we will take the measure of the PL strengths to be $|
\left< 0| \hat{L} |X \right>|^2$ and $|\left< e^-| \hat{L}
|X^-\right>|^2$ for $X$ and $X^-$ respectively where $\hat{L} =
\int \hat{\psi_e}({\bf r}) \hat{\psi_h}
({\bf r})d^2 {\bf r}$. This leads to expressions for PL strengths as follows:
$$\begin{aligned}
\left| \left<n_0 M_0| \hat{L} | S=1,S_z
= \pm 1 \right> \right|^2 &=&
\left| F^T \right|^2 \nonumber \\
\left| \left<n_0 M_0| \hat{L} | S=1,S_z
= 0 \right> \right|^2 &=&
{1 \over 2}\left| F^T \right|^2 \nonumber \\
\left| \left<n_0 M_0| \hat{L} | S=0,S_z
= 0 \right> \right|^2 &=&
\left|{1 \over \surd 2} F^S + C^{S}_{n_0
M_0 , n_0 M_0, n_0 -M_0} \right|^2
\nonumber \\
\left| \left<0| \hat{L} |X \right>
\right|^2 &=&
\left| F^X \right|^2 \end{aligned}$$
where
$$\begin{aligned}
F^{T/S} &=& \sum_{n_0 M_0 >n -M}
C^{T/S}_{n_0 M_0 , n -M , n M} -/+
\sum_{n_0 M_0
< n -M} C^{T/S}_{n -M , n_0 M_0 ,
n M}\nonumber \\
F^X &=& \sum_{n,M} C^X_{n -M ,
n M}\nonumber\end{aligned}$$
Here $S$ is the total electron spin, $S_z$ is the $z$-component of total electron spin and $C^{S,T}$ are the expansion coefficients of the singlet/triplet charged exciton. The $C^X$ are the expansion coefficients of the exciton. The electron remaining from the charged exciton recombination is in the state with quantum numbers $\{ n_0,M_0\}$. It is difficult to predict which of the triplet (S=1) states contributes most to the PL spectrum. Therefore we use $|F^T|^2$ as a measure of the PL strength of the triplet line.
We now turn to the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of charged and neutral excitons in a weak in-plane confinement. At all B-fields examined (i.e. B=$2
\rightarrow 12$ Tesla) we find that the ground state of the neutral exciton (X) has total angular momentum $M=0$, the ground state of the singlet charged exciton ($X^-_s$) has $M=0$ and the ground state of the triplet charged exciton ($X^-_t$) has $M=-1$. These all contribute to the PL spectrum. Other charged exciton states with M$\leq 0$ can also luminesce via $X^-(-{\rm M}) \rightarrow \gamma +
e^-(-{\rm M})$; the electron in the final state is left in the lowest Landau level. Since these states are very close in energy to the absolute $X^-_s$ and $X^-_t$ ground states and their PL lines are also similar, they must be included in a calculation of the PL spectrum. Increasing $|M|$ increases the energy of the $X^-$ state, so we only need to consider those states for which $-3\leq$M$\leq0$ in our calculations.
In a weakly confined system it makes sense to discuss whether the $X^-$ species are stable to the decomposition $X^- \rightarrow X + e^-$. A charged exciton will decompose if its initial energy is greater than that of the final state consisting of an exciton in its lowest energy state and a free electron in the lowest Landau level. In a truly unconfined system, the angular momentum of the final state electron is irrelevant due to the degeneracy of the Landau level. In our calculations however, the electron single particle energies do vary weakly with ${\rm M_e}$ thus we assume angular momentum conservation in order to take account of this; i.e. $X^-(M)
\rightarrow X(0) + e^-(M)$ where the $X(0)$ state is the ground state of the magnetoexciton. This decomposition is closely related to the PL recombination process for $X^{-}$. Since $X(0)$ can recombine directly ($X \rightarrow
\gamma$) it is clear that an $X^-$ state will be stable to this decomposition provided its PL energy is lower than that from the bare exciton.
Figure 1 shows the development of the spectrum with B-field for a rod length $L=3l$ (240Å at B=10T) and a weak in-plane confinement. To facilitate computation, the rod length is allowed to scale with the characteristic length $l$. Recent work on the interface exciton indeed suggests that some reduction of $L$ with B is expected [@Viet]. The spectra are robust to changes in $L$ and hence Fig.1 retains the experimental features simulated in our earlier paper [@Chapman1] using fixed $L=220$Å. Reference [@Chapman1] only fully considered PL spectra from $X^-$ species with $M=0$. In contrast Fig.1 includes optical recombination from the lowest energy singlet and triplet states corresponding to $M=-3,-2,-1$ and $0$. The $X^-_s$, $X^-_t$ and exciton ($X$) PL spectra are shown separately. A Gaussian broadening of $0.3$meV FWHM has been introduced.
The spectra in Figure 1 agree well with those observed experimentally in quantum wells of width 200 – 300Å [@Shields2]. The PL energies increase with B in a similar way to the experimental data [@Shields2]; in addition the theoretical spectrum consists of a predominately $X^-_s$ peak about 1meV below the exciton line at 8T (as compared to the experimentally observed value of 1.7meV at 8T). At low B Fig.1 shows an $X^-_t$ peak above the exciton line. This is due to recombination from the $M=0$ triplet charged exciton. This will most likely not be observed experimentally since its position indicates that it is unstable to decompostion into an exciton and electron (as discussed earlier) and as such is not expected to form. However, on increasing B, this $X^-_t$ line can be seen to move through the exciton line, thus becoming stable to decomposition and allowing it to be observed. This occurs at around 6 Tesla. The appearance of an $X^-_t$ line near the exciton ($X$) line at finite B is also a feature of the experimental spectra in which it occurs at around 2.5T [@Shields2]. The lower energy contribution to the triplet spectra in Fig.1 originates from the $X^-_t$ states with M$<0$. As B is increased these clearly lose strength to the M=0 triplet line. This is a precursor to the hidden symmetry mentioned earlier; as B increases the low energy states are forced to have more weight in the lowest electron and hole Landau levels. Apart from the M$<0$ triplet lines, the PL strength of the lines generally increases with B. This is much more pronounced for the exciton ($X$) and $X^-_t$ than for $X^-_s$. This effect is observed experimentally [@Shields2] and agrees quite closely with Fig.1. The splitting between the exciton ($X$) and $X^-_s$ lines in Fig.1 increases with B in a manner similar to that observed experimentally and is more pronounced than that found in our previous study which used a fixed rod length [@Chapman1]. This suggests that the observed increased binding of the $X^-_s$ with respect to the exciton is to a certain extent due to the scaling with magnetic length of the extent of the exciton and charged exciton wavefunctions perpendicular to the well. We emphasize that the spectra presented in Fig.1 contain recombination from charged excitons with initial angular momenta, $M=-3,-2,-1$, and 0. The calculated spectra clearly have all the qualitative, and many of the quantitative features of the experimental spectra. Thus charged excitons with a range of initial angular momenta could be involved in the experimental systems reported to date.
We now consider the PL signatures of charged and uncharged excitons in an intermediate in-plane confinement potential ($\omega_e \sim \omega_c$). The ground states are found to have angular momentum $M=0$ for the singlet charged exciton, $M=-1$ for the triplet and $M=0$ for the exciton. This is identical to the weakly confined case. Again we examine the PL spectrum from charged excitons with M$\leq0$ as these undergo recombination leaving the remaining electron in a state of M$\leq0$ which becomes part of the lowest Landau level at high enough B-field.
Fig.2 shows the calculated PL spectra for the lowest energy singlet and triplet $X^-$ states with $-3 \leq$M$\leq 0$ together with the PL line from the ground state of the exciton (M=0). The exciton is included for comparison but would not be observable in the same quantum dot as a charged exciton since the parabolic confinement holds the electrons and holes together thus preventing complete ionization. The same rod length is used as in Fig.1. The in-plane spatial extent of the charged excitons ranges from 300Å to 400Å at B=10T (discussed later) which is larger than the rod length, $L$ (220 Å at B=10T) ensuring that the charged excitons retain the quasi-2D nature required by our model. These spectra contain interesting structure. The singlet ($X^-_s$) spectrum is always below the exciton ($X$) line and the triplet ($X^-_t$) spectrum has two parts, one higher than the exciton line which corresponds to the M=0 triplet line, and one at similar energies to the singlet spectrum which corresponds to the $M\ne0$ triplet states. As B is increased the $X$–$X^-_s$ splitting increases slightly (1.2meV at 2T to 1.5meV at 12 T) in a similar manner to that seen in the weakly confined case. We also note that the major group of lines show a diamagnetic shift upwards in energy with increasing B. More interesting is the development of the singlet and triplet spectra with B. We shall first consider the singlet spectra. At low B the only strong line arises from the singlet ground state ($M=0$). The $M=-1,-2,-3$ lines are arranged below this decreasing in both PL intensity and energy as $M$ decreases. As B is increased these lower $M$ lines increase their PL strengths and energies moving through the $M=0$ singlet line around B=7T. At high B the lower $M$ singlet lines are clearly arranged at higher PL energies than the $M=0$ line with PL strengths sufficiently high to allow them to be observed. The ordering with increasing PL energy is $M=0,-1,-2,-3$ at high B. The triplet spectrum below the exciton line shows the same development with B-field. As B is increased the $M=-2,-3$ triplet lines gain PL strength and move through the ground state ($M=-1$) triplet line around B=7T arranging themselves in the order $M=-1,-2,-3$ with increasing PL energy at high B . The interesting development of this structure with B is due to the competition between the effects of the B-field and the parabolic confinement mentioned in Sec. \[Model\]. This competition is very important in this case of intermediate confinement. At low B the parabolic in-plane confinement dominates; this removes the degeneracy of the Landau levels and vastly lowers the number of states available to the charged exciton with which to minimize its electrostatic energy. In the lowest energy classical configurations the hole has $M_h = 0$ while the electrons have $M_{e_1} \approx M_{e_2}$ such that $M_{e_1} +
M_{e_2} = M$, where $M$ is the angular momentum of the charged exciton. This configuration has negligible overlap between electron and hole single particle wavefunctions giving the very low PL strength at low B for higher $|M|$ as observed in Fig.2. As B is increased the effect of the confinement begins to disappear as the Landau levels form. The degeneracy at a given $M_e$ and $M_h$ now allows the electrostatic energy to be minimized with finite single particle electron-hole overlap giving the stronger PL strength. This competition between B-field and confinement also explains the changes in the PL energy orderings. When the confinement dominates (i.e.low B-field) the charged excitons with higher $|M|$ have to leave their extra electron in a higher $|M|$ (i.e. higher energy) state after recombination thus pushing the PL line to lower energies. This effect disappears as B increases and begins to dominate since the degeneracy of the Landau levels makes the energies of the final $M$ states increasingly similar. It makes sense, therefore, that the cross-over between these effects occurs around 6.5T, which is precisely where the expansion parameter, $2\omega_{e,h} / \omega^c_{e,h}=1$.
Finally we turn to the case of a strong in-plane confinement. Fig.3 shows the PL spectra for a rod length $L=3l$ and the strong confinement potential. Again the lowest energy state of the singlet charged exciton has total angular momentum $M=0$, the triplet $M=-1$, and the exciton $M=0$. We consider here photoluminescence from the lowest energy singlet and triplet states with angular momenta $-3
\leq M\leq 0$. The exciton PL from the ground state ($M=0$) is also shown for comparison. However, as with the case of intermediate confinement, decomposition (i.e. ionization) of the charged excitons is not possible here since the strong confinement keeps the number of particles in the quantum dot constant. We note that the spectral lines posess a diamagnetic shift upwards as B increases. The form of the spectrum is essentially unchanged over the range of B-fields shown. This arises because the confinement dominates at all B-fields shown. Thus we see a spectrum which is very similar to the low B-field spectra in Fig.2. The only lines with significant PL strength are the ground state singlet ($M=0$), the ground state triplet ($M=-1$) together with the lowest $M=0$ triplet state, and the $M=0$ exciton ground state. The PL strengths of the other lines are low due to the strong confinement as explained above for the intermediate confinement case. The $M=0$ triplet line lies far above the exciton line. The $M=0$ singlet, $M=-1$ triplet and $M=0$ exciton lines are grouped within 4meV of each other for all B-fields in Fig.3. The triplet $M=-1$ line is now the lowest PL line, then comes the singlet $M=0$ followed by the exciton. It is only with this very strong confinement that the triplet line drops below the singlet in the PL spectra.
Shakeup Processes {#SU}
=================
In the previous section we considered recombination from charged excitons in which the electron in the final state was left in the lowest Landau level, i.e. $n_e = 0$ and $ M_e\leq 0$. We now consider recombinations in which the final electron is left in higher Landau levels. These are known as shakeup processes. We will concentrate on cases where the final electron is left in the first excited Landau level. These we denote as ${\rm SU_1}$ lines in the PL spectra. There are two ways in which an ${\rm SU_1}$ PL line may occur. In both cases the process is $X^-(M)
\rightarrow \gamma +
e^-(n_e,M_e=M)$; one case has $n_e =1,M_e\leq0$, the other involves $n_e=0,M_e=1$. We label the two processes ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ and ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ respectively. These shakeup processes have significantly lower PL strengths than the recombinations dealt with in the previous section. They still obey the $\Delta M=0$ selection rule, however the dipole matrix element is very small. In all Figures showing shakeup processes in this paper the strong PL spectrum is also shown for comparison.
Figures 4(a) and (b) show the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ and ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ PL lines respectively for the case of a weak in-plane confinement with rod length $L=3l$. These spectra are very similar to recent experimental data for SU processes obtained in quantum wells [@FinkelsteinSU]. Consider Figure 4(a) which shows the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ processes. The energies agree very well with the observed values (eg the splitting between the shakeup $X^-$ lines and the non-shakeup $X^-$ lines is 7.4meV at 4T in Fig.4(a) and 6meV experimentally [@FinkelsteinSU]). As B increases the SU lines drop almost linearly. Given the weak confinement we expect the difference between the non-shakeup $X^-$ line and the shakeup line to be $\hbar \omega^c_e$, the cyclotron frequency associated with the remaining excited electron. This is indeed what we find; the ${\rm
SU_1(n=1)}$ line drops by 1.3meV/T while the nonshakeup $X^-$ rises by about 0.4meV/T, the difference between the two lines being 1.7meV/T corresponding to $\hbar \omega^c_e$ as expected. Experimentally the ${\rm SU_1}$ line is found to vary linearly with B, however the difference between it and the $X^-$ is slightly less than $\hbar \omega^c_e$ which has been tentatively attributed to an increase in the electron mass due to penetration of the AlGaAs layer [@FinkelsteinSU]. Looking in more detail at the calculated spectrum we see that the singlet ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ lines are very weak in comparison to the triplet ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ lines. The latter dominate the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ spectrum at low B-field. At B=2T the SU spectrum is about 100 times weaker than the strong non-shakeup $X^-$ line, this compares very well with the observed intensity ratio from Ref. [@FinkelsteinSU]. As B increases the main triplet SU line drops rapidly in PL strength thus rendering the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ unobservable at higher B. This is again found experimentally. The main triplet line consists predominately of $M=-1,-3$ lines, the $M=0,-2$ lines being similar in strength to the singlet lines. The large drop in shakeup PL strength with B is due to the increased energy difference between Landau levels causing the initial charged exciton states to have less contribution from both electron and hole higher Landau levels.
Fig.4(b) shows the ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ processes. Again the energies agree well with observed values [@FinkelsteinSU]. The SU spectrum is in fact almost identical to that of Fig.4(a) except that now the singlet line dominates and the triplet line is very weak. Again at B=2T the SU line is about 100 times smaller than the strong non-shakeup $X^-$ line. The gradient of the ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ line is 1.3meV/T, the same as that in Fig.4(a). The ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ line loses strength rapidly with increasing B-field. This is again due to the increased energy difference between Landau levels causing the charged exciton to have less contribution from both electron and hole higher Landau levels. While both ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ and ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ processes match very well with the observed ${\rm SU_1}$ line, it is likely that the majority of the observed PL strength actually comes from the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ process which is dominated by the $M=-1$ triplet line. This is the lowest energy triplet state and has a weak PL strength for a recombination process which leaves the final electron in the lowest Landau level thus suggesting that there will be a large population to undergo recombination via a shakeup process.
Figures 5(a) and (b) show the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ and ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ lines respectively for the case of an intermediate in-plane confinement with rod length $L=3l$. Again the non-shakeup lines are included for comparison. In both Fig.5(a) and (b) the PL strengths of the ${\rm SU_1}$ lines are significantly lower than the non-shakeup spectrum. First we consider the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ lines in Fig.5(a). The overall ${\rm SU_1}$ spectrum is weaker than for the case of weak confinement (cf. Fig.4(a)). The triplet ${\rm SU_1}$ lines dominate over the singlet lines and there is no longer a linear drop of PL energy with increasing B-field. Also the splitting between the shakeup $X^-$ lines and the non-shakeup $X^-$ lines does not change linearly with B. This is due to the confinement which prevents $\hbar
{\overline \omega_{e,h}}$ from varying linearly with B. The competition between confinement and B-field was important in the non-shakeup processes of Sec. \[PL\], spreading the PL energies of the lines and affecting their strengths. Here we also see an effect on the PL energies of the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ lines. At low B-field, where the confinement dominates, the triplet ${\rm SU }$ PL lines are separated, the $M=-3$ state having the lowest PL energy then $M=-2,-1$ and finally $M=0$ with the highest energy. The energy separation is due to the confinement which raises the energy of the $-M$ final electron state thus lowering the PL energy. This effect is removed as Landau levels form with higher B-field (B$>$6.5T). The M=0 triplet ${\rm SU_1}$ line always appears at higher energy because its initial state is higher in energy.
We now consider the ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ processes of Fig.5(b). The singlet spectrum clearly dominates the overall shakeup spectrum. It decreases linearly with increasing B and its intensity decreases with B also. The energy of the singlet ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ line is higher than the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ lines of Fig.5(a). Finally we notice that the high PL strength of the triplet ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ line at B=2T is large, being in fact only ten times weaker than the non-shakeup lines. This occurs because the dominant effect of the confinement at low B-field is to force the $\pm M_{e,h}$ states to have similar energies, thereby causing the M=1 triplet charged exciton to configure itself more like the M$\leq0$ charged excitons and luminesce accordingly.
Figures 6(a) and (b) show the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ and ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ spectra respectively for the case of strong in-plane confinement, with a rod length L$=3l$. Again the non-shakeup spectra are shown for comparison. Considering the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ processes in Fig.6(a), we see that the triplet lines dominate the singlet lines. The triplet spectrum is clearly split into four sets each corresponding to a shakeup process from a charged exciton with a given $M$. The $M=-3$ has the lowest SU energy followed by $M=-2,-1$ and finally $M=0$. This separation is due to the strong confinement (as in the low field regime of Fig.5(a)) which raises the energy of the $-{\rm M_e}$ final state electron thus lowering the PL energy. As B increases, the $-{\rm M_e}$ states start to converge in energy to form the Landau level; the spacing between the lines is consequently reduced. The ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ lines are very weak in this strong confinement limit. This is because the strong confinement forces the charged exciton to have very little contribution from the $n\ne0$ states which now have much higher single particle energies.
The ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ lines of Fig.6(b) are much higher in PL energy than those of Fig.6(a). The singlet line decreases linearly with B having a gradient of about 1meV/T. The triplet line is not linear, and for low fields is close to the non-shakeup spectrum in both energy and PL strength. As in the case of intermediate confinement at low B, this is due to the similarity in energy of $\pm M_{e,h}$ states, thereby causing the $M=1$ triplet charged exciton to configure itself in a similar manner to the $M=-1$ state and luminesce accordingly. We notice this effect dies away with increasing B. However, it clearly persists to higher B than in the case of intermediate confinement.
From Figs 4,5 and 6 we see that the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ spectra become increasingly disimilar from the ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ spectra as the in-plane confinement is increased. This occurs because the degeneracy of the Landau levels is lost as the confinement is increased. The single particle states instead form themselves into harmonic oscillator levels. Thus for all confinements the ${\rm SU_1(n=1)}$ processes leave the final electron in an excited state, whereas in the ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ processes, the final state electron is increasingly in the lowest M=1 oscillator state. As such the ${\rm SU_1(n=0)}$ process is more like a normal recombination process than a shakeup process.

Our exact diagonalization of the charged exciton Hamiltonian gives us the full expansion coefficients for the various charged exciton wavefunctions. We can use these to investigate the structure of the charged exciton states. In particular, we are interested in how the electrons are correlated with the valence hole. This is conveniently visualized using the electron-hole pair distribution function, $g({\bf r})$ [@Maksym1]:
$$\begin{aligned}
g({\bf r})= \int P({\bf r} + {\bf r_0},
{\bf r_0})d^2{\bf r_0}\end{aligned}$$
where $$\begin{aligned}
P({\bf r},{\bf r_0})=\left< \sum^{2}_{i=1}
\delta({\bf r_{e_i}}-{\bf r})
\delta({\bf r_h}-{\bf r_0}) \right>\end{aligned}$$ Thus $g({\bf r})$ can be interpreted as the electron density relative to the hole and $P({\bf r},{\bf r_0})$ as the probability of finding an electron at ${\bf r}$ and a hole at ${\bf r_0}$. $P({\bf r},{\bf r_0})$ is written in terms of our previous singlet and triplet wavefunction expansion coefficients ($C^S$ and $C^T$) as follows:
$$\begin{aligned}
P^{S/T}({\bf r},{\bf r_0})=\sum_{n m}
\left| A^{S/T}_{n m} \pm B^{S/T}_{n m}
\right|^2\end{aligned}$$
where S takes the positive sign, T takes the negative sign and $A$ and $B$ are given by: $$\begin{aligned}
A^T_{n m}&=&\sum_{n_1 m_1 > n m} C^T_{n_1 m_1
, n m, n_h m_h} \Psi_{n_h m_h}
({\bf r_0}) \Psi_{n_1 m_1}({\bf r}) \nonumber \\
B^T_{n m}&=&\sum_{n m > n_2 m_2}
C^T_{n m, n_2 m_2, n_h m_h} \Psi_{n_h m_h}
({\bf r_0}) \Psi_{n_2 m_2}
({\bf r})\nonumber \\
A^S_{n m}&=&A^{T \rightarrow S}_{n m} + \sqrt{2}
\sum C^S_{n m,n m,n_h m_h}
\Psi_{n_h m_h}
({\bf r_0}) \Psi_{n m}({\bf r}) \nonumber \\
B^S_{n m}&=&B^{T\rightarrow S}_{n m}\end{aligned}$$
The pair distribution functions are radially symmetric so we are able to plot the radial pair distribution function (RPDF) given by $\rho(r)=2 \pi r g(|{\bf r}|)$. Fig.7 shows how these RPDFs are used to determine the structure of the charged exciton. If both electrons are equally correlated with the hole (Fig.7(a)) then we expect $\rho(r)$ to have a single peak as in Fig.7(b). If however one of the electrons is closer to the hole than the other, as in Fig.7(c), then we expect to see two peaks corresponding to the inner and outer electron rings as in Fig.7(d). Charged excitons with this doubly peaked RPDF have a structure which is more like an exciton with an orbiting outer electron ($X+e^-$)
We now examine in more detail the electron-hole radial pair distribution functions for a charged exciton with rod length L$=3l$. Figure 8 shows how the electron-hole RPDF for the lowest energy singlet state (M=0) with a weak in-plane confinement varies with B-field. As B increases the electrons become more closely correlated with the hole. As is generally the case, the overall form of the functions doesn’t change; instead they just scale with the characteristic length $l$. In the case of weak confinement, this length is dominated by the magnetic length giving rise to a strong scaling with B. For stronger confinements the characteristic length becomes more dependent on the confining potential, thereby reducing the effects of changing B-field on the distribution functions.
Figures 9 and 10 demonstrate how the electron-hole RPDFs of the lowest energy singlet and triplet states for various $M$ depend on the confining potential. Figures 9(a) and (b) are for weak in-plane confinement, at B=10T, with singlet and triplet charged excitons shown respectively. Figure 9(a) exhibits two different types of curve. The $M\leq 0$ curves are fairly narrow curves peaked at around 100 Å indicating that both electrons are equally close to the hole. The $M>$0 curves are broader, peaking at between 200 and 300Å. The $M=3$ curve even shows a shoulder at higher electron-hole separation indicating an $X+e^-$ structure. Figure 9(b) shows the corresponding triplet curves. Again there are two types of curve. The triplet $M<0$ electron-hole pair distributions are narrow and peaked at about 150Å, whereas the $M\geq0$ curves are much broader. As $M$ increases from 0 to 3 a distinct shoulder develops at higher electron-hole separation indicating the $X+e^-$ structure. In general, the triplet curves broaden more quickly than the singlet curves with increasing $M$. Of particular interest is the $M=0$ triplet electron-hole RPDF. This shows a broadening that the corresponding singlet curve does not. The reason for this arises from the symmetries of the wavefunctions. The singlet charged exciton has electrons which are symmetric under interchange of their spatial wavefunctions. Thus the $M=0$ singlet charged exciton can have both electrons and the hole with the same angular momentum $M_{e,h}=0$. This gives rise to the sharply peaked singlet $M=0$ curve in Fig.9(b). The triplet charged exciton however has a spatial wavefunction which is antisymmetric under electron interchange. This implies that the lowest energy $M=0$ triplet state cannot be built with both electrons and the hole in states with $M_{e,h}=0$. Instead the state will have one electron with $M_e=0$, the other with $M_e=-M$ and the hole with $M_h=M$. A state with $M_h<M$ would force the electron with $M_e=0$ to change to a state of higher ${\rm M_e}$, thus placing it in a higher Landau level; this is energetically unfavourable. A state with $M_h > M$ would force the hole into a higher $|M|$ state than either electron; the electrons would hence come closer in $M_e$. This situation is clearly electrostatically unfavourable given the relation between $|M|$ and $<r^2>$ provided by Eqn. \[<r\^2>\]. Thus from symmetry and energy considerations, the lowest energy $M=0$ triplet charged exciton should have one electron closer to the hole than the other. This gives rise to the broad electron-hole RPDF seen in Fig.9(b). It also partially explains the fact that the triplet ground state has angular momentum $M=-1$, whereas the singlet ground state has $M=0$. The electron-hole RPDFs at B=10T in the case of strong confinement are shown in Fig.10. As with Fig.9, only the lowest energy states at each M are considered. Figure 10(a) shows the electron-hole RPDF for the singlet charged exciton. The $M=0$ case is still the most sharply peaked. The other RPDFs all have similar peak heights and widths. This is a direct result of the strong confinement which lifts the degeneracy of the Landau levels instead giving instead single particle states corresponding to a harmonic oscillator. Now the degeneracy is between single particle states with the same $|M|$. This forces the $-M$ charged exciton states to behave very like those with $+M$. This can be seen in the RPDFs of Fig.10(a) where the $M=-1$ curve resembles the $M=+1$ curve etc. Comparing Figs.10(a) and 9(a) we see that the distribution functions peak at similar electron-hole separations in both cases. The high confinement is conspicuous however in removing the shoulders corresponding to high electron-hole separation from the distribution functions; consequently all these lowest energy states have both their electrons equally well correlated with the hole. Figure 10(b) shows the corresponding electron-hole RPDFs for the triplet charged excitons. This shows strong similarities with the singlet case. The main distinction is the sharply peaked triplet $M=-1$ RPDF which is narrower than the others. This corresponds to the $M=0$ RPDF in the singlet case (Fig.10(a)). It comes as no surprise therefore that the $M=0$ state is the lowest energy singlet state whilst the lowest energy triplet state has $M=-1$. As in the weakly confined case this difference in the angular momenta of the lowest energy singlet and triplet states is due to the symmetries of the singlet and triplet spatial wavefunctions under electron interchange. Again we see the triplet states showing evidence of underlying oscillator single particle states since the $+M$ and $-M$ states have become very similar.
The electron-hole RPDFs for an intermediate in-plane confinement behave as the strong or weak confinement cases depending whether the B-field or the confinement is dominant. Earlier we saw that the cross-over between the dominance of the confinement or the B-field occurs at about B=6.5T for this intermediate confinement. Below B=6.5T the electron-hole RPDFs are similar to those in Fig.10. Above B=6.5T the electron-hole RPDFs are similar to those in Fig.9.
We now turn to the excited states. As an illustration we look at the excited states with the same $M$ as the lowest energy singlet ($M=0$) and triplet ($M=-1$) charged excitons. The electron-hole RPDFs for the first five states of these systems are shown in Figs.11(a) and (b). A charged exciton can become excited in essentially two different ways. First it can start to ionize itself by moving the second electron increasingly further away from the electron and hole which are left in the centre. Second it can keep both electrons equally close to the hole, but alter their correlations with the hole. In the first case we should see two peaks forming in the electron-hole distribution function. In the second the distribution function should have a single peak, but the behaviour near the origin and the peak position should be modified . With this in mind we consider Fig.11. First we consider the singlet case (Fig.11(a)). The lowest four energy states clearly show the electron-hole RPDF becoming broader as the energy increases, until eventually at level 4 there is a definite high electron-hole separation shoulder indicating a partial separation into $X+e^-$. The next energy level up sees both electrons equally correlated with the hole, the RPDF vanishing more quickly at the origin and its peak position having moved to higher separations. This corresponds to the second type of excitation. The triplet energy levels at $M=-1$ (Fig.11(b)) show a very similar behaviour. The electron-hole RPDFs broaden as the energy level is increased. A higher separation shoulder can be just distinguished in the RPDF for level 5.
Similar effects are seen in the excited states at different M and different confinements. The clearest case for showing the two types of excitation process is a strongly confined charged exciton with $M=-$2 at B=10T. This is shown in Fig.12. Here the first three levels show broad electron-hole RPDFs. Level 4 has two distinct peaks in its RPDF arising from two different electron rings around the hole. Level 5 then has an electron-hole RPDF which has one peak moved to slightly higher e-h separation, and clearly has a different behaviour at the origin. This suggests that the process of excitation for a charged exciton at fixed angular momentum $M$ involves repetition of the two-step process corresponding to Figs.7(b) and 7(d). Each cycle pushes the peaks to higher r and forces the RPDF to vanish more quickly at the origin.
Summary
=======
To summarize, we have studied a negatively charged exciton in a uniform B-field by means of numerical diagonalization. We have discussed our results in terms of the PL spectra for various in-plane confinements and experimentally relevant B-fields. The PL spectra were calculated considering recombination from a range of initial angular momentum states of the charged exciton ($-3\le
M \le0$). A realistic form factor consistent with 200–300Å quantum wells has been used to modify the interactions. We found that our weak in-plane confinement results agree very closely with published experimental spectra for high mobility quantum wells (Ref. [@Shields2]). We also get good agreement with the PL energies and intensities of published shakeup lines in the PL spectra (Ref. [@FinkelsteinSU]). These results demonstrate that the expected PL signatures of charged excitons are not qualitatively affected by the presence of a range of initial angular momentum states. The one exception to this is the triplet line which appears at finite B-field. This is due to the $M=0$ triplet charged exciton which must be present for the line to be observed. We also discussed the PL spectra (including shakeup lines) for the cases of intermediate and strong in-plane confinements. These represent predictions of the expected PL spectra from charged excitons in quantum dots. Our calculated spectra show interesting structure which should be observable and we hope this will stimulate further experimental study on such systems. Finally, we calculated various electron-hole radial pair distribution functions for the charged excitons. These allowed us to examine in detail the structure of the charged exciton states as a function of angular momentum, B-field and in-plane confinement. The excited states of the charged exciton were also studied. We found that excitation occurs via two methods. First the charged exciton can undergo partial ionization whereby one of the electrons moves away from the hole leaving a configuration of an exciton orbited by an outer electron. Second, both electrons remain equally close to the hole, but their correlations with it change. The combination of these two processes provides insight into the excitation mechanism for charged excitons at a given angular momentum.

Q:
Java "Cannot be referenced from a Static context" Jar Import
I am importing a Jar file for use of its classes (or .java's) into NetBeans IDE. The Jar is pircbot.jar. The inside class I want to call is PircBot. I imported like this:
import org.jibble.pircbot.*;
And I called them like this:
PircBot.connect("irc.twitch.tv", 6667, passwordInput);
Now if the .jar is in my libraries section of NetBeans IDE, and I imported it correctly: why and I getting this error:
non-static method connect(String, int, String) cannot be referenced from a static context
All the Jar errors are from imports, and all the static context problems are people calling from the main() class.
A:
As your error message states, connect isn't a static method and requires an instance to call it on. This has nothing to do with jar files or imports and all to do with basic nuts and bolts Java. Read up on classes and creating instances or objects of classes. Bottom line, you first create a PircBot instance, and then call the method on it.
So I hope no one will do what people in IRC chat do: "ugh how can you not know this?" or "that has been asked a hundred times, go look it up" Because I have looked it up, everywhere I could.
I can't criticize you for not knowing Java as none of us were born with this knowledge, but I would suggest that you work on your Google skills as this question has been asked on this site, more then five times a day, and the information is easy to find if you look.
Edit
You state:
Unfortunately: I have tried this: I get "abstract method cannot be instantiated" Any knowledge of this?
You've more research to do. PircBot is abstract class meaning that you can't simply call a PircBot constructor and get an instance. Instead you will need to find a concrete child class of the PircBot class and use an instance of that class. Hopefully the jar file has some documentation that will help you find this. You may need to call a factory method to achieve this. To find this, see if PircBot has any static methods that return PircBot objects.
Edit 2
On review of the documentation, I'm wrong: you have to create the concrete class that extends PircBot. In your new class you will have to implement any and all abstract methods. You should go through the tutorial that they supply. Why stumble when you've got good documentation?

In my last blog on 5 GHz spectrum, I discussed the recent FCC ruling that permitted outdoor access points to use the U-NII 1 band (5150-5250 MHz).
But the story doesn’t stop there. As mentioned last time, there are significant technical challenges to using the 5 GHz band. It is not cleared spectrum. It contains incumbent uses that are important for national security and public safety. Therefore, it is imperative that Wi-Fi not create harmful interference to these incumbent systems. Cisco will not settle for less.
On the topic of interference, a particularly interesting component of the same FCC ruling that opened the U-NII1 band for outdoor AP’s is that it also re-opened the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) band (channels 120, 124, 128) with new test requirements for DFS protection. Hold on, let’s backtrack a bit before diving into what this means:
What is TDWR?
In brief, Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) “is a Doppler weather radar system used primarily for the detection of hazardous wind shear conditions, precipitation, and winds aloft on and near major airports situated in climates with great exposure to thunderstorms in the United States.” TDWR uses the frequency band from 5600-5650 MHz which is why wireless network equipment needs to be proven to “do no harm” to TDWR. If you’re curious for more information on TDWR, then please click here and/or here.
A Brief History
Many of you reading this will recall that the FCC closed the use of the TDWR band several years ago as the result of numerous reports of wireless equipment creating interference with TDWR. Read More »
In just two years, indoor location technology has taken off and attracted a lot of buzz across industries, from retailers to healthcare. But it’s no longer a conversation about just Wi-Fi – the introduction of beacon devices, including iBeacon, has added a new dimension to location technology for IT and their line of business counterparts to grapple with on how to leverage it to better reach their customer base.
Some customers have been asking about beacon technology and how it fits in with Wi-Fi, so let’s start from the beginning:
How do beacons work?
Beacons are sensors that send out Bluetooth low energy (BLE) tracking tags. These sensors can be placed around a venue, such as a store, and a mobile device can pick up the BLE signal and determine that it is in close proximity. When a mobile app is built off of this technology, it can be used in interesting ways to interact with the end user, such as notifying a customer of a promotion for an item they are close to.
I’m having trouble differentiating Wi-Fi and beacons. What do I need to know? Read More »
There is no denying it: your employees and customers are streaming video. While the volume of that streaming dramatically peaks around game times during the World Cup, it should be no surprise that today, mobile applications, largely video, are increasing mobile traffic across networks. That’s straight forward: apps + video = bandwidth drain. Combine that with the fact that people are touting multiple devices–think a laptop and a smartphone, maybe a tablet, too. This means high density–lots of clients and devices on a single network. These circumstances trigger three potential yellow cards to cross an IT person’s mind – let’s see how we can avoid them.
YELLOW CARD #1: Rich Media Optimization
As an end-user, the common expectation is that I should get the same crisp, clear, rich media or video experience across all platforms—I don’t care if it’s my phone, my tablet or my laptop: make it high definition. This is harder said than done.
It is not easy to provide the same rich media experience across wired and wireless devices. Traffic from wireless devices has to travel all the way back to the controller in a data center and then back to an access switch before reaching its destination. It’s called the hairpin effect. The result is that video over Wi-Fi could look grainy. That won’t do for the current generation of high definition junkies. Read More »
Our service provider customers like you are trying to simultaneously keep pace with the surging network traffic in today’s Internet of Things (IoT) era while providing consistently high quality of experience and introduce new services quickly for a competitive advantage.
New technologies like Voice over LTE and the need to connect the expected 37 billion devices like cars, trains, building sensors, and “wearable devices” by 2020 means that data must be treated differently than it has been historically. At the same time, your consumers are expecting the same quality of experience whether they connect to th Read More »
Northern Kentucky University is among the fastest growing universities in Kentucky. It hosts over 15,000 students with about 13,000 undergraduate and 2,000 graduate students. The goal of the wireless program at NKU is to provide secure, robust and ubiquitous wireless access throughout the campus, both indoors and outdoors. This ensures that students always stay connected and feel at home. The classrooms are equipped with smart technology to ensure that the teachers can benefit from technology when collaborating with students. The IT team has blanketed the libraries, the classrooms, the dorm-rooms as well as the outdoor areas with Wi-Fi.

Mariel Rodriguez has come to the defense of her husband, Robin Padilla, speaking out against the backlash generated by the action star's inclusion in the entourage that joined President Rodrigo Duterte’s trip to Russia last month.
In a now-deleted photo, Padilla was seen with Cesar Montano, Phillip Salvador, Sandra Cam, and Bernard Cloma as they flew to Moscow.
Photo is a screenshot taken by Pep Robin Padilla is seen as part of the delegation in this now-deleted photo posted by Bernard Cloma on Instagram.
Out of the five, who are all known to be staunch supporters of the president, only Montano holds a position in the current administration. He was appointed head of the Tourism Promotions Board of the Department of Tourism.
On her Facebook page on Tuesday, Rodriguez shared a blogpost claiming that the government used taxpayers' money to pay for the tickets of Padilla and the others, writing: "FYI. [my husband] paid for his airfare and hotel."
"He did not accept a position in the government, ticket pa kaya at pa hotel tatanggap siya? Hellooooooo! stupid 'tsuwariwap' blogger. Know your facts!" the television host added.
Malacañang has defended those who joined, with Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella saying: "It was important to have key members of the president's administration to accompany him." | 2023-09-28T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/8733 |
Neuron cell death features prominently in the development of the nervous system and is a key pathological component in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Currently, there is no effective treatment for AD. One view of pathogenesis suggests that neuronal death in development and disease are due to activation of cell death genes and that controlling expression of these genes will make it possible to prevent degeneration. Target-derived neurotrophic factors prevent neuronal death in development; they also act to prevent degeneration induced by lesions of mature neurons. They may prevent cell death in AD. It is our hypothesis that nerve growth factor (NGF) will prevent selective, spontaneous degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons (BFCN) in a recently developed animal model of AD. The model is based on the finding that all Down syndrome (DS) patients develop AD pathology, including degeneration of BFCN. Mouse trisomy (TS) 16 is an animal model of DS. We have found that TS16 basal forebrain transplants demonstrate atrophy of BFCN after several months in vivo. NGF, or a vehicle control, will be infused into the cerebral ventricle of adult female mice carrying transplanted basal forebrain neurons from TS 16 and control (diploid) fetuses. The number and size of TS16 cholinergic neurons will be compared to controls, and the incidence of extracellular amyloid and neurofibrillary tangles will be assessed. These studies will determine whether or not NGF treatment prevents atrophy and death of BFCN and will give evidence for or against NGF mediated toxicity. If NGF is shown to be both effective and safe, these studies would give strong support to NGF trials in AD patients. The NGF gene family members brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) may also act on BFCN; they will be tested for activity on lesioned BFCN and, when appropriate, in the transplant model. To pursue the goal of neurotrophic drug design, we will attempt to define NGF domains important for receptor binding and activation. The strategy to be used is based on the fact that NGF, BDNF and N.T-3 activate distinct populations of neurons. Structural differences between them must lead to activation of distinct receptors. Chimeras in which variant domains from BDNF or NT-3 replace those of NGF will be tested for activity and binding. When activity is changed to that for the factor whose domains were introduced, we will have identified structural regions important for NGF receptor activation. The proposed studies will markedly advance studies of neurotrophic therapy by extending observations to an animal model of the BFCN degeneration. NGF and neurotrophic factors related to NGF may be shown effective and safe in preventing cholinergic cell death. Finally, our studies will pave the way for future neurotrophic design. | 2024-04-18T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/5522 |
Relationship OCD
I had relapses and I still do but the thoughts are so much weaker, they disappear over time faster.
My story could be a bit unique in it’s own way. I’m not a native speaker and I’m from Russia myself but I’ve been following the topic of OCD for year and a half to help myself. My sources for any kind of OCD knowledge had been purely in English because I find it has much a diverse information on Pure OCD and Russian sources happen to be quite limited on it. I’m 27 year old male, I’m a freelance worker and my story begins.
Growing up I did not really notice I might have a mental issue such as OCD, but looking back now, I could say it has been with me since I can remember myself. I had problems with high level of anxiety, but as I thought back then, it comes from the point of me being a very emotional person. But the Pure OCD revealed itself in its full power much later in my life, when I was the happiest I’d been.
It happened 2 years ago and to this day I still can’t believe I had to deal with it, even tho my Pure OCD did not go away fully (and never will), I learned how to manage it.
My story begins on summer 2015 when I met a woman that I fell in love with, as deeply as one can imagine and my strong feelings were mutual as she felt the same. But it’s not as easy as it sounds because we happened to live in different countries and we met online. She is from Germany and I am from Russia.
I don’t want you to think that I’m writing a love story here and not about OCD, but trust me, it’s more like an OCD story with love being a main part as an activating point of my Pure OCD that had been with me all my life but was not bothering me as much until I’ve got somebody I care about and not just myself.
Since we met, we’ve been inseparable as much as distance allows. That summer was my happiest time of my life, and when Pure OCD hit me deep, it felt like for these unbelievably happy moments I had to pay by dealing with it. By going into details of meeting this woman, which I will refer in this story as J., I want define how I was getting into the worst state of OCD I had ever experienced in my entire life, which was not limited only to emotional distress, due to overdose of positive and happy feelings.
I encourage you to find a therapist who you connect with, and fight to get to the other side! You are worthy!
My first day of my first experience in intensive therapy I was asked to write down my thoughts one day from wake to sleep. I kid you not, by 9am I wrote “exhausted and yawning” (I had gotten up at 6:30). I looked at the journal and realized it was literally one page of thoughts already (probably more but I didn’t want to write it all) and it had only been 2.5 hours. These thoughts consumed about 95% of my day, and were draining me. I felt like I needed to find answers, but at the same time I didn’t know where to go, knew there weren’t actual answers, and part of me didn’t even feel like I needed any. I was trapped.
“Who do I want to be with? What if she isn’t the right person? What if I should be with a guy? But, wait, I have been with guys… How did I feel? Is that who I see myself with? Was it different from this? Should I try again? It’s expected of me. How should I feel? What if I doubt this and can’t commit? Does this feel right? Am I sexually attracted? But emotional means more to me…but you just doubted sexually so what about that?… What is life? Do I want to be here? What if that car hits me as I get out of my car to get the mail? Would I care? This is too much to deal with. What if my family never accepts me being with a girl? If they doubt it, maybe I am wrong. How do I know? What makes me happy? Should I move or try to go out more? No but that’s not who I am, but who am I? But wait, I want to be with her but do I need to explore myself more before committing? How do I know? I want to be with her. I had never acted this way with anyone else: losing track of time or had 7 hours feel like 1, sharing as much as I did with someone, yet my brain kept fighting me! I wasn’t used to this feeling. Comfort, calm, connection, and oh wait love–no, never! With a girl…was this right? Did I really feel this way? What if I am wrong?”
This is maybe two minutes of a day’s worth of thinking. Believe me it went on and on, uncontrolled, exhausting, circuitous, torturous circles of mental rumination. It tore me to pieces. I could go on and on, but you get the point. The answers weren’t there; the internal dialogue and questioning never ceased, and I couldn’t escape.
Our brain loves uncertainty and just following human nature, if you feed it, it gets hungry for more. OCD hits ya where it matters most (for me: relationships). I was tortured, stuck in my head, silently screaming so loudly that some days you could hear it through my smiles. I would ask friends, talk incessantly about the topic, but that was only temporary reassurance and fuel for the OCD cycle. The thoughts would only return a few minutes later, leaving me right back to where I started (fun, right?).
In episode 33 of The OCD Stories podcast I interviewed Jeff Bell. Jeff was on episode 11 of the podcast with Shala Nicely. Jeff is the author of “When in doubt, make belief” and “rewind, replay, repeat”. He is also a radio news anchor in San Francisco and public speaker on OCD. Jeff co-founded adversity to advocacy and Beyondthedoubt.com.
I chat with Jeff about his book When in doubt, make belief and pull out some of the strategies in it. We discuss how to tell what is reasonable doubt and what is an OCD doubt. I love Jeff’s use of index cards to measure and track compulsions and obsessions. Both helping him limit them and over time see his progress. He talks about how radio helped him be in the present moment, and at that time be free from OCD. We discuss cure vs recovery, and the silver linings. Jeff shares his passion for purpose and service and how these two things can help us and the world. Enjoy.

The first time I realised something wasn’t right with me was in my first year at University, I was smoking a lot of weed and had been since I was 16. The weed only added to the confusion, I was having problems sexually and the only reasonable explanation at the time seemed to be that I was gay. Perhaps a more rounded conclusion may have been the fact I was smoking weed everyday or that dabbling quite regularly in cocaine and ecstasy wasn’t helping the situation. However, as sufferers know deep down, their irrational doubts are exactly that, irrational.
So there it began, I had just broken up with the girl I was seeing, due in part to my unwillingness to talk about the problems I was having, and out of nowhere came the desperate urge to prove my sexuality one way or another. Every waking moment was spent ruminating about whether I was gay; searching google for answers, watching porn to prove my sexuality, comparing myself to friends who were gay etc. All aspects of my life began to suffer, from sports where I had played to quite a high level to relationships with friends and family. My studies also suffered immensely, I would sit in the library desperate to take in the information that I was reading, unfortunately, the tape I had running in my head would give me no respite. The only logical solution at the time, was to smoke even more weed which as you might imagine, contributed to the disorder snowballing.
I was in a constant state of anxiety throughout that summer, I had failed an exam and was absolutely terrified of the prospect of a resit in August 2012. I knew how difficult it was going to be to even scrape a pass, my family were worried about the extent of my drug use and tried on many occasions to help me. I responded by shutting them out, too scared to talk about what was going on inside my head and perhaps still unaware of the fact I was experiencing a mental health problem. I was still golfing and playing rugby, however, I was starting to lose my love for the sports which I was once so passionate about. I continued to socialise with friends, mainly to take drugs and escape the internal struggle I was experiencing.
In episode 16 of The OCD Stories podcast I interviewed my girlfriend – Nami. Nami is an artist and illustrator. She designed the logo for The OCD Stories. She has had her own battles with the mind, recently with anxiety and before with clinical depression. I thought it would be a good idea to get her on to discuss my relationship OCD and her relationship anxiety.
We talked about my ROCD story, mixed with my girlfriend’s own relationship anxiety. We talk about relationship OCD in dating as it doesn’t get much media coverage. We chat about what helped me recover, what helped our relationship grow stronger, and what to do when you relapse. I enjoyed recording this episode (even if I look bored in the video lol) and I think you’ll get a lot out of this whether your OCD is attacking your relationship or not.

Q:
How can I convey that my viewpoint character is lying?
When writing in the first person, what is a good way to convey that the viewpoint character is lying, without saying so explicitly? My idea is this:
"I am writing this as a record of what's been done in this age. I'm told it's very important, however I do not need this text as I am cursed with an eidetic memory, and I never forget anything."
Then, a few paragraphs later:
"The memory of that woman is dim, and I cannot for the life of me recall her name, or her face."
Clearly he's lying, and a liar, so now the reader should be tipped off that they can't trust him for the rest of the story. (In this case he doesn't want to admit who the woman really is to the reader, for his own personal reasons, he's not lying about having an eidetic memory)
A:
I think you are on the right lines, in that including contradictions is a good way of indicating that the person is not telling the truth. Of course, you need to avoid the danger that readers think you are just being sloppy. I think the speaker needs to be caught in a lie - realise that they have said something contradictory.
What is more difficult is identifying what they are lying about - that is, when they are lying, and when they are telling the truth. You may need another character to verify important facts (like the eidetic memory, if this is important).
It is difficult, because the reader tends to trust the narrator.
A:
What you are talking about is essentially an unreliable narrator.
Unreliable narrators can be mentally ill (Humbert Humbert in 'Lolita), have a character flaw (boastful, ignorant - Chaucers 'Wife of Bath for example), or immature, such as Huckleberry Finn.
In each case, the unreliability can be signalled much as in real life - lack of credibility. Your character can contradict himself, or contradict what the reader knows in the text, or lie to other characters (Intratextual signs) or contradict real life or social norms (Extratextual signs).
Nabokov's Humbert Humbert does most of these, and is an outstanding example of an unreliable, lying, narrator. Well worth reading if you are looking for ideas.
A:
Frame It Appropriately
Here's the issue: There's a pretty firm assumption that, the moment you're following a tight first-person (or third person) narration, you're following around in their head. You're not just hearing them tell you the story (which gives them an opportunity to lie about it), you're actually privy to their truest, innermost thoughts. As long as you allow that assumption to ride undisturbed, the readers will assume a reliable narrator - by which I mean, a narrator who isn't deliberately withholding information.
How can you dispel that assumption? By providing a counterexample - the moment you demonstrate that the narrator is keeping something to himself, or otherwise trying to fool the reader, then the reader is warned. This is what you're going for with your own example - you telegraph to the reader that he's being lied to, by providing him with a clear contradiction in the narrator's information.
But doing that can be a problem if you're still relying on the tight-viewpoint, in-the-narrator's-head style of writing. Because if we are being lied to, then we aren't in the narrator's head, and if that's the case - where are we?
So deliberately unreliable narration[1] pretty much requires some layer of separation between the narrator and the reader. Perhaps the narrator is telling a story, or writing the story down. You've got to follow through on this elsewhere, too - if the narrator's a storyteller, have him address the reader frequently; this stresses the disconnect between them. If he's writing his own story down, remind us of this frequently - let him mention his writing supplies, or how much time has passed since then, or that he hopes this manuscript is found. This is a necessary foundation; without it, you're basically letting the POV character lie to the reader without establishing any sort of ground rules.
Stay in Character
The other primary element is that however the narrator lets slip that he's unreliable, it's got to be in character. So a goofy compulsive liar may brazenly contradict himself, and the staunchly refuse to admit there's any contradiction. A cagey character who has some particular topic he wants to avoid might constantly find himself edging towards it, and always find some excuse to veer off - "but I'll tell you about that later." Etc.
A character who is reasonably clever and also lying deliberately is very difficult to convey convincingly. Basically, you need to have a narrator who is so careless that he's capable of committing a gaffe blatant enough to overcome even the reader's inherent trust in the narrator! Somebody remotely competent needs a really, really good reason to get caught.
A lot of examples include exposing the narrator's unreliability as a late twist to the story. Instead of posting spoilers here, I'll direct you to TV Tropes' exhaustive list. But I don't think that's what you're attempting here - you're trying to let us know early on that the narrator's unreliable.
Nonetheless, you can take a page from the same book. When it comes as a twist, what's common is for the narrator to reveal themselves because their secrets have already been revealed, or because they're no longer useful. If you can come up with a similar situation - where the narrator has a need to recant some earlier tidbit - then I think you've achieved your purpose.
Be Shady and Mysterious
One other common handling of this is to present the narrator's character as being shady, mysterious, or unreliable. By his stories, his actions, his tone - you can do a lot to get across that the character is not a trustworthy one. It could be straight-out refusal, e.g. "...aaaaand never mind where I went later that night," but it could also simply be descriptions of the narrator lying, fooling others, etc. That's buildup for the fact that the narrator isn't any more straight with us than he's been with anybody else.
[1] Distinguished from "unaware" unreliable narration - e.g. the viewpoint character who doesn't understand fully what's going on (but the reader does) - and from the "innocent" unreliable narration - a narrator who's forgotten details or is mixing things up, a la the narration in How I Met Your Mother.

Q:
Determine if two planes are intersecting in parametric form
given two planes in parametric form :
$\pi_1:(x_1,y_1,z_1)+t\overrightarrow{u_1}+k\overrightarrow{v_1}$
$\pi_2:(x_2,y_2,z_2)+s\overrightarrow{u_2}+p\overrightarrow{v_2}$
How can i determine if the two planes are intersecting without converting to algebraic forms?
Is it possible?
thanks.
A:
One way: $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$ intersect iff the system of linear equations on the variables $t,k,s,p $ $$P_1+t\overrightarrow{u_1}+k\overrightarrow{v_1}=P_2+s\overrightarrow{u_2}+p\overrightarrow{v_2}$$ is consistent. Equivalently, iff $$\text{rank }[\overrightarrow{u_1},\overrightarrow{v_1},-\overrightarrow{u_2},-\overrightarrow{v_2}]=\text{rank }[\overrightarrow{u_1},\overrightarrow{v_1},-\overrightarrow{u_2},-\overrightarrow{v_2},P_2-P_1]$$

Lead optimization of melanin concentrating hormone receptor 1 antagonists with low hERG channel activity.
The discovery of small molecule melanin concentrating hormone receptor (MHCr1) antagonists as novel therapeutic agents has been widely pursued across the pharmaceutical industry. While multiple chemotypes of small molecule MCHr1 antagonists have been identified and shown to induce weight loss in rodent models of obesity, many of these lead compounds have been found to cross react with the hERG channel. This review describes efforts that led to the identification of two sub-series of MCHr1 antagonists with low affinity for the hERG channel. Ultimately, however, the modifications introduced to thwart hERG channel activity resulted in lead compounds with sub-optimal CNS behavior. | 2023-11-16T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/9770 |
Q:
Linux: Find all occurrences of "string1" in files under a directory and replace them with "string2"
In linux, what's a good way to find all occurrences of "string1" in files under a directory and replace them with "string2"?
A:
Fairly basic. Use sed with file globbing. Unless you mean every file in directory and subdirectories?
sed -i 's/string1/string2/g' /path_to_dir/*
Edit: In the case of literally everything under the directory
find /path_to_dir/ -type f -exec sed -i 's/string1/string2/g' '{}' +

Tag: criticism
The premise of Rita Felski’s (University of Virginia Professor of English) argument in her most recent book The Limits of Critique, or the point rather, is that the time is ripe for us to spend time critically analyzing critique itself; to dissect how we recognize it, how it has evolved, and ask how or if the suspicious reading that is its modus operandi has gone too far. She argues the onus critical theorists and academics have placed on critique, the dominant position we have created for it in discourse, and our subsequent forsaking of the alternatives, has nearly eliminated the possibility of (my words here) pleasurable reading.
There’s a point, early on, in Margo Jefferson’s Negroland in which Jefferson pauses. “All readers are strangers,” she says. “Right now I’m overwhelmed by trying to calculate, imagine, what these readers might expect of me.”
In a lovely stylistic flourish, Jefferson actually spends much of her moving, memoiresque book pausing to address the reader directly, but you may be wondering, as I was, who exactly does Jefferson think that reader is?
When an artist uses a certain color, is he using the color for the color’s sake, motivated purely by the aesthetic pleasure, or displeasure, the particular color has on the brain? Or is he using a color to represent what it is that that color has come to represent, thanks to a collective definition forged over centuries? A context which, like it or not, is seemingly impossible to eliminate.
As an example.
Is the color blue in a painting, chosen for its beauty, its “blueness,” if you will, or is it chosen as a signifier; intended to evoke, in the mind of the viewer, feelings of depression, or sorrow.
I’m fascinated by language, how words came to be and how they develop meaning far in excess of their dictionary definitions, and have written about the subject before in the context of David Lynch. Lynch is many things, foremost among them, Lynch is a filmmaker. As such, he uses the vocabulary of film to force his viewers to reconsider, visually, the innumerable associations we have with words. Why can’t a scab be beautiful, for instance? And is there any way to shed the vast network of associations we bring with us to language?
William Gass is another intellectual fascinated by language; how it fails us even as it proves our dependence. After all, as I’m sure Gass is well aware, there is a harsh irony implicit in the necessity of words in examining the unreliability of language, as he was forced to do in On Being Blue.
The argument of Gass’ casually philosophical treatment of the subject, hinges, in my summation, on whether writers want to express what their words represent, or the words themselves, and whether or not the two can be disentangled. Spoiler alert, he believes it’s the former, that words are used for their particular properties rather than themselves. But he spends 90, give or take, fascinating (and humorous) pages expanding on that dilemma.
“Words are properties of thoughts and thoughts cannot be thought without them,” he writes at one point, expressing the futility of the entire endeavor.
Its mind-blowingly complex, this issue. Like, make your head hurt complex. A recursive, ontological meditation on the paradox of words indelible and ever-shifting meanings and the staggering fact, that without these unreliable signifiers, we can’t think at all.
It helps to think about the idea in the context of sex, as Gass does.
If we’re going to discuss, or even think, about sex, we have no choice but to use words. It’s a given. But try doing so and you’ll quickly see it become obvious that “anyone who attempts to render sexual experience directly must face the fact that the writings which comprise it are ludicrous.”
Words are everything, it could be argued that we wouldn’t exist without them, and yet they are insufficient, even as they are essential. Unstoppable. Pervasive.
The struggle, for anyone perturbed by the idea, lies in how that fact, the centrality of words, can coexist peacefully in the intellect with the reality that “a random set of meaning has gathered around the word[s] the way lint collects.”
The mind just does that.
Fuck.
The debate concerning language and its “true” meaning easily elicits an association with Plato and his theory of Forms as the true representations of reality, e.g., the Form (capital F) of any thing, is more real than reality’s various manifestations of that thing; the Dog is the only true dog, therefore every particular dog is merely a shadow of the true Dog.
A rather conclusive take on ontology’s search to explain what the features of things are. For Plato, there can be no features.
Gass grapples with that idea in the context of language, challenging the dogmatism inherent in Plato’s line of argument in the context of language, the signifier, as opposed to the sign itself.
Approaching the idea in a different way, Gass instead allows for the particulars, or the features, although he reaches a conclusion of his own.
I read Plato’s arguments as attempts to definitively eliminate those “random sets of meanings” which inevitably cloud a word’s definition; to conclusively state that the ontology of a thing, exists only its universal, or essential.
But, in the words of Gass, if “signs are not the same as the things they designate, they are at least an essential segment.”
In the context of color, which Gass uses frequently as illustration throughout his essay (the book’s title is On Being Blue, after all), he somewhat boldly asserts as “fact” the idea that color is only somewhat subjective. “No one is going to call the sounds of the triangle brown or accuse the timpanist of playing pink.”
Gass will give into the futile consideration of subjectivity, metaphysics, and ontology only to a point, what thinking person can do otherwise, but Gass fights throughout his writing for concession, in a sense, begging for mercy from the obliterating force of the philosophical argument.
As Virginia Woolf’s ever-conflicted Orlando observed:
So then he tried saying the grass is green and the sky is blue and so to propitiate the austere spirit of poetry whom still, though at a great distance, he could not help reverencing. ‘The sky is blue,’ he said, ‘the grass is green.’ Looking up, he saw that, on the contrary, the sky is like the veils which a thousand Madonnas have let fall from their hair; and the grass fleets and darkens like a flight of girls fleeing the embraces of hairy satyrs from enchanted woods. ‘Upon my word,’ he said (for he had fallen into the bad habit of speaking aloud), ‘I don’t see that one’s more true than another. Both are utterly false.’ And he despaired of being able to solve the problem of what poetry is and what truth is and fell into a deep dejection.
Haven’t we all had those out of body experiences? Who the hell decided what would describe what anyways?
But, as Orlando discovered, one can’t live like that. Not all of the time anyways.
Various qualities, or the “lint” as Gass calls it, words pick up over time, may not be part of the essential word, but, as Aristotle would argue, since our experience of a word, or a color, is by necessity, an experience of the whole; composed of each of our innumerable and unpredictable associations with it, we cannot help but associate the qualities we observe in reality, with its use.
It is the balance, in the opinion of Gass, between all aspects of a thing, that makes it what it is.
Perceptions are always profound, associations deceiving.
But they’re real, and we have no choice but to accept them.
I’m no philosopher but I would describe the two sides of the language debate as the essentialists vs. the pragmatists. In other words, those who believe in the existence, or the possibility of existence, of an essential nature to a word, just as there is for Plato with Forms, are on one side, and on the other are those who, like Gass, acknowledge and refuse to deny the cultural context words have.
Words mean more than we mean to express when we use them, so a whole book ought to mean a great deal more than the writer means.

I’ve recently been spending an inordinate amount of time with two things. Generational theory, which attempt to understand and explain why we are the way that we are, and writing on criticism as we attempt to explain how we analyze and evaluate music today.
Unlike the generations which have preceded us, mine, the millenial generation, first and foremost identifies themselves individually. We don’t seek to fit in with a ‘group’ instead we pride ourselves on our individuality, our style, our taste etc.
How we define ‘cool’ is different too. According to writer Alexandra Molotkow, being cool is no longer based on what you know and other people don’t. Being cool is about what you have to say about thing things everyone else already knows.
This manifests itself in conversations third-party listeners often think sound pretentious or unintelligible. We’re so consumed with having an opinion and demonstrating our cultural capital and understanding of theory, that we have taken to re-evaluating everything those who came before us dismissed.
Molotkow however, talks about the danger’s of this culture of acceptance we’re cultivating, and the risks inherent in ‘poptism’s’ all-encompassing policy of acceptance, by asserting that it’s one thing to defend the music of a Justin Bieber, it’s another to offer him a place in the music history canon.
The challenge for today’s critics and an idea which will undoubtedly continue to evolve as yet another reaction to what came before it in the history of music criticism, is the need to ask the right questions of these pop stars we insist so vehemently on defending. ‘Does this pop song do what a pop song should do?’ ‘Does it succeed or fail by updating, employing or subverting its genre tropes?’ These are the questions we should be asking and they’re hard ones.
Mindfully evaluating genres of music within the theory of the genre as opposed to a blanket comparison between genres will become the dominant theme in music criticism for the conscious rejecters of both rockism and poptimism, and as we descend into an ever more critical place may we all become smarter and more critical without resorting to yet another form of elitism.
In an art world that seems to accept anything and everything as art, the refusal by some to accept certain computer-made art as art is nonsense.
Another seemingly incongruent fact is the reality that in our post-media world we are starting to accept computer-created art as art provided we remain more or less unaware of the art’s origins in technology.
We are just entering an era in art in which we can accept technology can be the means to create artwork, and not just the subject.
Wade Guyton’s untitled pieces above serve as a good meditation on new media art. Their origin belies their creator’s hand while at the same time darkly prophesying a future of machines and machine-produced art. | 2023-12-06T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/9216 |
The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Friday rejected U.S. allegations against two Chinese nationals accused of masterminding a global scheme to steal technology, business secrets, military information, and personal data for the benefit of China’s intelligence apparatus.
The Foreign Ministry accused the U.S. Justice Department of “fabricating” the charges against the defendants and claimed the United States is the party actually guilty of cyber-espionage.
The Justice Department linked the alleged hackers, Zhu Hua and Zhang Shilong, to a group known as Advanced Persistent Threat 10 (APT10), a team of online thieves and saboteurs active for about ten years and believed to be a unit of China’s military intelligence service. Most of the groups identified as “advanced persistent threats” are linked to either China, Russia, or North Korea.
Zhu and Zhang worked under a variety of hacker aliases including “Godkiller” and “Atreexp,” respectively, according to the Justice Department. They worked for a Chinese company called Huaying Haitai Science and Technology Development and “acted in association with the Chinese Ministry of State Security’s Tianjin State Security Bureau.”
The two were accused of running a massive operation to steal “intellectual property and confidential business and technological information,” targeting over 45 companies across the United States as well as government agencies, prominently including the U.S. Navy.
One of their heists allegedly stole personal information, including Social Security numbers, from over 100,000 Navy personnel. They penetrated NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Energy Department’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, stealing data that covered an astonishing range of subjects from aviation to medicine and energy production.
The hackers also hit computer systems belonging to U.S. allies including Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The U.S. Justice Department action was coordinated with 11 other nations in total.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said the defendants “gave China’s intelligence service access to sensitive business information.”
“This is outright cheating and theft, and it gives China an unfair advantage at the expense of law-abiding businesses and countries that follow the international rules in return for the privilege of participating in the global economic system,” Rosenstein said.
“It is galling that American companies and government agencies spent years of research and countless dollars to develop their intellectual property, while the defendants simply stole it and got it for free. As a nation, we cannot, and will not, allow such brazen thievery to go unchecked,” declared U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman.
“Healthy competition is good for the global economy, but criminal conduct is not,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray, anticipating the objection from China that America is only pretending to crack down on cyber-espionage to shield U.S. companies from competition.
“This is conduct that hurts American businesses, American jobs, and American consumers. No country should be able to flout the rule of law, so we’re going to keep calling out this behavior for what it is: illegal, unethical, and unfair,” Wray promised.
“China will find it difficult to pretend that it is not responsible for this action,” Deputy AG Rosenstein predicted at a press conference announcing the indictments.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen contributed a joint statement describing the alleged hacking activity as a “very real threat to the economic competitiveness of companies in the United States and around the globe.”
“We strongly urge China to abide by its commitment to act responsibly in cyberspace and reiterate that the United States will take appropriate measures to defend our interests,” they said.
China reacted much as the U.S. officials expected, as related by the South China Morning Post:
In a statement on Friday, the foreign ministry in Beijing responded to US legal action against two Chinese alleged hackers and said China would take “necessary steps to resolutely protect its cybersecurity and interest.” “The United States fabricated facts,” it said. “The U.S. made false accusations against the Chinese side on the grounds of so-called cyber stealing. Such a move is a serious violation of the basic norms of international relations and will seriously damage Sino-U.S. cooperation.” “We urge the U.S. to immediately correct its wrong practices, stop attacking the Chinese side with cybersecurity issues.”
The Foreign Ministry claimed the United States is the real cyber-espionage culprit, saying “it is no longer a secret that the U.S. conducts large-scale monitoring campaigns watching foreign governments, enterprises, and individuals.”
“China firmly preserves cybersecurity, always opposing and cracking down on any forms of cyber theft. The Chinese government has never participated in or supported any theft of trade secrets,” insisted Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying.
Hua demanded the United States stop “smearing China on cybersecurity and withdraw the so-called charges against Chinese nationals to avoid causing serious damage to China-US relations.” | 2024-02-06T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/7000 |
Vigil celebrates slain Detroit firefighter
Detroit — Hundreds of firefighters and supporters gathered Tuesday night to remember a veteran Detroit firefighter found slain in his home this week.
The vigil drew residents near Engine 33, Ladder 13 on Lawndale in southwest Detroit who knew David Madrigal Sr., “the mayor of Vaughn,” after the street where he lived.
“If my house were burning down, he would be the first to kick in the door and save me,” Cathy Garza said.
His cousin, Ernesto Madrigal, said he was helpful to anyone who asked.
“Anytime you needed a favor he was there to help you. He never said no,” he said.
Mourners held candles during a moment of silence outside the firehouse where Madrigal drove rigs. White Christmas lights decorated the firehouse.
On Tuesday, the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office said Madrigal died of blunt force trauma to his head.
His body was discovered around 7:45 p.m. on the 7600 block of Vaughn on the city’s west side by his son, David Madrigal Jr., fire officials said.
“Any death is sad, but this is incredibly sad for a son to discover his father deceased,” Fire Commissioner Eric Jones said. “My heart goes out to the family: His direct family and to his firefighting family.”
Madrigal, a 26-year veteran of the department, was the “mayor” of his street and heavily involved in department outreach, officials said.
“He was part of the fabric of the community; he was an activist,” said Fire Fighters Association President Mike Nevin. “He always had a lending hand. I think that’s what hurts the most.”
Madrigal participation in parades, holiday gift wrapping, feeding the homeless and performing funeral honor guard duties, Jones said.
Madrigal’s home was ransacked and personal property was reported missing, including a black 2015 Ford Explorer with the Michigan license plate number 247S21C, police said.
The burned-out vehicle was found Saturday in southwest Detroit before Madrigal’s body was discovered, police said.
Jones and Nevin on Tuesday declined to discuss details of the investigation. They said coworkers last heard from Madrigal on Saturday morning to talk about a Fire Department gift wrapping event. They expected him to participate but he never arrived, Jones said.
“They didn’t see him. I know there had been firefighters who called to check on him that day and they left messages,” he said.
Madrigal’s son conducted his own welfare check Monday.
“He was very close to his dad; they communicate daily,” Jones said. “He became concerned and decided it was best to go over and physically check on his dad.”
The firefighter was a grandfather who also is survived by a daughter, Christina Madrigal, officials said.
The elder Madrigal was preparing for retirement this spring, Jones and Nevin said. He planned to celebrate with friends and family with a picnic-style party on Belle Isle in June.
“He was a homebody. He was an old soul,” Nevin said. “He loved the fire department.”
Madrigal’s passion for firefighting was evident early Tuesday outside the home where he was found killed.
The home sits on a street of mostly one-and-half-story homes, many with bars on the doors and windows.
Madrigal’s front door has no bars, but features a Brinks security sticker and metal firefighting emblem. In the front yard, an old red and white fire hydrant sits in the garden while at the end of the driveway there hangs a "No Parking: Fire Lane" sign.
At least two fire department rigs reportedly took shifts early Tuesday watching Madrigal’s house. The second rig left the scene shortly after 7 a.m.
The vigil is one example of the department pulling together during times of tragedy, Jones said.
“I spoke with (Madrigal Jr.) this morning and said: ‘This is your family, you’re not alone,’” Jones said. “We’re going to get through this by taking care of each other, as we always do.”
Madrigal’s death is hitting the department hard in the wake of several recent firefighter injuries and deaths, Jones said.
“Over the past few weeks, we’ve had EMTs slashed, we’ve had firefighters injured, then we had two back-to-back deaths,” Jones said.
Last month, 49-year-old St. Vincent Smith was found dead from medical complications at Engine 48 in Southwest Detroit, Jones said. Smith was temporarily assigned to that station but normally worked at Engine 33 with Madrigal.
The next day, Capt. Walter Szelag, 56, died from cardiac arrest after helping his team winterize a fire department boat, Jones said.
“And we had a firefighter fall through the floor yesterday and was hospitalized,” Jones said. “These men and women ... I stand in awe. They will walk into a burning building to rescue a stranger. I can say no more.”
Both Jones and Nevin acknowledged their department is shaken by Madrigal’s sudden death near the holidays.
“We’re going to push through, but this one hurts,” Nevin said. “He did not deserve this. This is just not right. Our guys are hurt. We’re angry.
“But we have all the faith in the world in the Detroit Police Department, and we have all the faith in the world that our brothers in blue will find (out who is) responsible for this.”
Fire officials are discussing offering a reward for information in the case, Jones said. Details will be released later Tuesday as they become available.
“The Commissioner and the union president are sitting here unified,” Jones said of efforts to find Madrigal’s killer.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detroit police homicide investigators at (313) 596-2260 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) SPEAK-UP.
“It might be something small but you never know the stage of the investigation,” Jones said. “There’s no bad lead, ever. Your phone call could result in an arrest. We need this person off the street right now.”

Q:
Different ways to call an imported function from a separate py file, returns error
Not sure if this is a normal python behaviour or a Blender thing
I have a file named operators.py and a file named functions.py.
also a __innit__.py that calls the operators.
Method 1 :
in functions.py:
def someFunction(self, context):
print("I did it!")
in operators.py:
from functions import someFunction
and then later I call the function with:
someFunction(self, context)
The above resulted in:
ImportError: cannot import name 'someFunction'
Method 2 :
in functions.py:
def someFunction(self, context):
print("I did it!")
in operators.py:
import functions
and then later I call the function with:
functions.someFunction(self, context)
The above resulted in:
AttributeError: module 'functions' has no attribute 'someFunction'
So blender did get and import the module but it can't get the functions working.
A:
Your function seems to be in a class (guessed from the self parameter).
Method using self are meant to be used on instances.
You should either instanciate the class it belongs to in order to have an instance on which to call the method, or make the function static, or make the function a module function (out of a class definition).
Also the package init file should be named __init__.py, not __innit__.py.

This invention relates generally to display fixtures and, more specifically, to a shelving system including novel adjustable shelf clips and base panel.
Retailers and others with a need to store or display items have, for years, used shelves, hooks, face-outs, waterfalls, pegs and other display fixtures. A number of prior art display and/or shelving systems have been developed. For example, standards and brackets are the most common system. This system consists of a slotted xe2x80x9cstandardxe2x80x9d which mounts to a surface, such as a wall, and a bracket that protrudes forward to support the shelf. This common system has several disadvantages. For example, the standards and brackets themselves are unattractive and obtrusive. Shelves having different depths require different size brackets and the shelves are not secured on the bracket.
Side supports are another common system and include side walls or panels on each side of the shelves. The side panels have a series of holes and pins or brackets are inserted in the holes. Again, the shelves merely rest on the pins or brackets. Furthermore, the side walls create a closed-in or cabinet like effect. A series of such racks produces a niche or nook effect when an open or spacious expanse may be preferable.
Pegboard can be used to mount brackets to seat shelves. However, shelf size is limited and pegboard is unattractive. Slatwall is a system in which a back panel is fabricated with a series of xe2x80x9cTxe2x80x9d shaped slots which run horizontally (and vertically in xe2x80x9ccubewallxe2x80x9d). A variety of shelves and fixtures are manufactured which hook into the slots. Although the exposed surfaces of slatwall is available in many more attractive options than pegboard, the slots create a grooved look which designers try to avoid. Slatwall also has size and weight limits.
The xe2x80x9cPuck System:xe2x80x9d is similar to pegboard but the holes are larger and the spacing between the holes is greater, i.e. 6 inch on center is common. A number of fixtures, including shelf supports, are manufactured which lock into the holes in the back panel. Unused holes are plugged with decorative pucks. Although the puck system generally can support larger shelves, the shelves are not secured to the supports. Moreover, most designers would prefer a system that did not include a plurality of holes.
To avoid the appearance of heavy mounting hardware, a designer may employ a cable system whereby shelves are suspended from the ceiling, or other top surface by small wires. This type of system is not practical for perimeter shelving because of the cost. Furthermore, these types of systems can be unstable due to swing. Fixed shelf brackets that attach directly to a wall are well known. However, these styles do not allow for adjustment for height or depth
It would be desirable, therefore, to have a wall mounted shelf system that minimizes the use of unattractive and obtrusive hardware, includes a clean, aesthetically pleasing design, is adjustable, strong and supportive and can be used with variable size shelving.
It is among the objects and principles of the present invention to provide a novel shelving system which can be attached to a support surface, such as a wall, rendering an appearance that the shelf system is suspended against the wall without obtrusive mounting hardware and shelf brackets. In the preferred embodiment, the system includes a support or base panel for attachment to a wall, for example, a pair of shelf clips and a cantilevered shelf frictionally secured in the shelf clips. The panel can be any designed size and shape as long as there are two vertical opposed edges at the point where the shelf clips attach and a front and rear surface with a material thickness therebetween. The panel can be any desired dimensions, generally rectangular, and has a front surface and a rear surface with a material thickness there between. The rear surface of the panel can include a mounting frame for attachment to the wall or can employ any other appropriate mounting hardware that is not readily visible. The front surface of the panel can be of any chosen decor. Each side edge of the panel includes a vertical series of holes formed into the material thickness. The holes in the opposed side edges are parallel.
The system includes a left and a right shelf clip. Each shelf clip has an upper and lower mounting pin. The mounting pins, which extend out perpendicular to the clip itself, are disposed to engage holes in the side edge of the back panel. Each clip includes an upper shelf brace and a lower shelf brace defining a shelf space there between for the seating of a shelf. The upper and lower shelf braces each include a friction pad which snugly engage the upper and lower surfaces of a margin of the shelf respectively. The friction pads are replaceable or interchangeable and are provided in a plurality of thicknesses to effectively alter the dimension of the shelf space so as to accommodate shelves of varying thicknesses. The shelf may be a standard flat sheet-type shelf fashioned from glass, marble, veneered chip board, solid wood or other suitable material such as plastic, light weight metal or the like.
In other embodiments, the shelf clips can be fashioned as display hardware including, but not limited to, a straight faceout with hooks, a round faceout, a straight shelf bracket, a hat displayer, a hangrail support bracket, a valance bracket, a U-bar or alternative, useful configurations. | 2024-04-21T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/6475 |
UV-induced selective oxidation of Met5 to Met-sulfoxide leads to the formation of neurotoxic fibril-incompetent α-synuclein oligomers.
Oxidative stress and the formation of cytotoxic aggregates of the presynaptic protein α-synuclein (AS) are two important events associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and several other neurodegenerative diseases. In this context, extensive efforts have been made to elucidate the molecular basis of the cytotoxic synergy between oxidative stress and AS aggregation. In this study, we demonstrate that the exposure of AS to oxidative stress induced by UV radiation (ASUV) blocks the protein fibrillation, leading to the formation of highly toxic fibril-incompetent oligomers. In addition, ASUV exhibited stronger anti-fibrillogenic properties than H2O2-treated AS, inhibiting the fibrillation of unmodified AS at notably low concentrations. Mass spectrometry indicated that Met5 oxidation to Met-sulfoxide was the only modification promoted by UV exposure, which is reinforced by NMR data indicating that Met5 is the only residue whose amide resonance completely disappeared from the (1)H-(15)N HSQC spectrum after UV exposure. This result is supported by previous data that indicate that C-terminal Met residues (Met116 and Met127) and N-terminal Met1 are less susceptible to oxidation than Met5 because of the residual structure of the disordered AS monomer. Overall, our findings suggest that specific oxidation of Met5 might be sufficient to promote the formation of highly neurotoxic oligomers of AS. | 2023-08-12T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/9064 |
S.H.I.E.L.D. Character Details Revealed?
Announced earlier this year, Joss Whedon is overseeing “S.H.I.E.L.D.”, Marvel Studios’ first television series set in their cinematic universe. Today, TV Line has gotten their hands on a list of characters that are alleged to be at the forefront of the ABC series, now casting. Their list reads as follows:
SKYE: This late-20s woman sounds like a dream: fun, smart, caring and confident with an ability to get the upper hand by using her wit and charm.
AGENT GRANT WARD: Quite the physical specimen and cool under fire, he sometimes botches interpersonal relations. Hes a quiet one with a bit of a temper, but hes the kind of guy that grows on you.
AGENT ALTHEA RICE: Also known as The Calvary, this hard-core soldier has crazy skills when it comes to weapons and being a pilot. But her experiences have left her very quiet and a little damaged.
AGENT LEO FITZ and AGENT JEMMA SIMMONS: These two came through training together and still choose to spend most of their time in each others company. Their sibling-like relationship is reinforced by their shared nerd tendencies she deals with biology and chemistry, hes a whiz at the technical side of weaponry.
Although none of the roles appear to be previously-established comic book characters, it should be noted that on the commentary track to his The Cabin in the Woods, Whedon refers to using fake sides to audition talent. Knowing the secrecy of Marvel, there’s a definite possibility that “S.H.I.E.L.D.” could be employing a similar tactic.
It also remains to be seen which, if any, actors and/or characters from the feature films are planned to appear on the show. It’s very likely that “S.H.I.E.L.D.” will have direct ties to future Marvel Studios cinematic entries, including the Whedon-scripted and directed Marvel’s The Avengers 2, set for release on May 1, 2015. | 2023-10-30T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/9680 |

The store is looking great Jon! I'm gonna have to take a look on my way to the dog park tomorrow! (day off on a thursday, I'm kinda surprised myself) I'm excited and terrified for July to come.
Wow, big step, huh? I'm looking forward to seeing images from a well-stocked storefront. Your in-laws pieces look pretty sweet. Love the teapots, yunomi and slab plates in that one pic. I'm sure your new shop will reflect your's and your wife's love for handmade objects used in the rituals of preparing, serving and consumption of good food with family and friends, old and new.

Is that enough of an update for you guys ;)
We are planning to open on July 1st and so far its looking like we will be able to do so. For what its worth, EVERYTHING was designed and done by us. The canvas photos are prints from out trip to Japan last year.
This looks really great. So often I look at places here, small stores or restaurants, where the people who run it don't invest a penny in making it look attractive or inviting - or even clean - and I always wonder how they survive. Maybe they don't and blame it on the economy. Anyway, it's obvious that you put a lot of passion into this store, and I am sure people will appreciate that. Just make sure you have a first aid kit for the people who try how sharp your knives are ;)

Once things calm down, you should sell prints. Some of those canvases look really awesome, and artistic enough to be appreciated by people who don't give rats ass about cutlery.
Are you going to frame or hang any tenugui to display them/decorate the place?
I guess we could do that, but i dont have immediate plans to do so. We may also put up some tenugui or other things as we get closer to opening... we're just chipping away at things day by day

Yeah... i have been hesitant to talk to my chef friends because i didnt want to go to work and bug them... i always hated when people came to bug me when i was cooking. So now that we have a place that they can come to on their own schedule, i am telling them all about it. I still know a lot of people in the restaurant world out here.
phuck me!!
Jon are you planning on opening a shop in Europe? :D

Haha... i wish. I wouldnt mind spending some time back in Europe again, but i dont think i will be able to for a little while.
The canvas prints are just prints from pictures i took while in Japan... we had them printed on wrap-around canvas cause they look cool. Sara and I did the same thing for some of our wedding photos at home, so thats where we got the idea.

Add || short circuit evaluation in between:
if [ -n ... ] || [ -n ... ]; then ## Something; fi
|| is treated as logical OR (and && is logical AND).
In your case:

Engineering a versatile tandem repeat-type alpha2-6sialic acid-binding lectin.
Previously, we developed an alpha2-6-sialic acid (Sia)-specific lectin (SRC) starting from an R-type galactose-specific lectin C-terminal domain. However, it showed relatively low affinity because of its monovalency. Here, we engineered a tandem repeat construct (SRC2) showing substantial affinity for alpha2,6-sialylated N-glycans (in the order of 10(-6)M in K(d)), almost comparable to a natural alpha2-6Sia-specific lectin from Sambucus sieboldiana (SSA). Notably, its binding to branched N-glycans was found to be more selective than SSA. Nevertheless, SRC2 showed no apparent hemagglutinating activity, while it exerted strong erythrocyte-binding activity. This unique feature will help flow cytometry analysis, where usual lectins including SSA agglutinate cells. Some other biochemical properties investigated for SRC2, e.g., high productivity in bacteria and easy release of captured glycoproteins with lactose have demonstrated versatility of this mutant protein as a powerful tool for sialoglycomics. | 2023-12-15T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/9060 |
Q:
Is there any reason you would use one-shot focus over AI-Servo?
The only one I can think of is recomposition - achieving focus and then recomposing. Are there any others? The convenience of tracking your subject seems very, very convenient - moreso than the lock confirmation.
A:
Yes it is convenient, and does track a subject, but not always your subject. For this reason, I always use one-shot.
In situations where there are multiple potential subjects, but one I wish to focus on, one-shot is really the only way that works for me. In sports, but even in travel photography: In sports, you are shooting a soccer game, and you wish to focus on your daughter. With players moving all around, the camera very often will instead choose a player moving toward you, rather that your preferred subject. With travel, you want to take a photo of your traveling companion in a busy square. The camera my initially focus on your companion, but then changes focus to a moving person nearby.
When I am not trying to focus on a specific subject, AI Servo is fine. For example in Auto racing: if I want one specific car in focus, I will use One-shot, and a single focus point, panning to ensure I keep focus on the one car. If I simply want a shot of the action, I will move to AI Servo and shoot away, with the assurance that I have focus on something.
A:
There are some other considerations, depending on the camera in question. I'll address it from the point of view of Canon EOS cameras (which is where the nomenclature AI Servo originated).
Situations in which One Shot will perform better than AI Servo for Canon EOS DSLRs:
Low light conditions. Per Chuck Westfall, the head of Canon USA's Professional Client Relations Division and former Canon Technical Advisor:
As light levels diminish, eventually AI Servo AF will cease to function before One-Shot AF does. This is because One-Shot AF allows a longer sampling period for AF measurement in low light than AI Servo does. (The AF measurement sampling period is analogous to a shutter speed for the AF sensor. The longer the sampling period, the greater the sensitivity.) Remember that the AF sensor in the camera has a low light threshold, typically EV -1 or -2 depending on the camera; this figure is quoted specifically for the center AF point with One-Shot AF. It's usually about 2 stops less than than with AI Servo AF, and even lower with off-center focusing points. Therefore, if maximum sensitivity for AF in low light is your priority, we strongly recommend One-Shot AF with the center focusing point.
When confirming focus is critical and the subject is static. Again from Chuck Westfall:
AI Servo AF allows photographers to release the shutter at will, regardless of whether focusing has been completed or not. This is intentional, in order to allow the photographer to prioritize capturing the peak moment regardless of focusing status. The trade-off is the fact that there is no guarantee that the focus will be sharp on a stationary subject in AI Servo AF, especially during handheld photography at close range with shallow depth of field. Under these specific conditions (one more time for emphasis, I am saying Stationary Subject, handheld photography at close range with shallow depth of field), One-Shot AF is a more reliable focusing method because it locks focus while AI Servo does not.
When the shutter button is pressed all the way in AI Servo the camera fires whether focus has been achieved or not.
When the shutter button is pressed all the way in One Shot the camera will not fire until focus has been confirmed. If the shutter has already been half pressed and focus has been confirmed, the camera will fire immediately, just as in AI Servo. But if the shutter is pressed all the way and AF has not already been confirmed, the camera will wait as long as it takes, from just a few microseconds all the way to eternity, before it will release the shutter.
Some of Canon's more recent advanced cameras include options for the user to fine-tune the balance between AF confirmation and fast shutter release. It can even be set differently for the first shot in a burst and the subsequent frames in that same burst.
Chuck, as well as other Canon reps, have made similar statements elsewhere, but here's a link to the most succinct version of it.
There's also a lot of misinformation around the internet (imagine that) that says differently, but Chuck has been the go-to guy for technical information at Canon USA since the EOS system was introduced in 1987. Some of the misinformation still going around is based on how models current almost three decades ago behaved rather than how the current lineup works.
The following statements are true of all of Canon's current EOS lineup, and pretty much any model released in the past 10 years:
In all but very dim lighting conditions AI Servo and One Shot are equally accurate.
All other settings being the same in both cases, the camera focuses on the same exact thing in both AF modes.
Single points are the same size with AI Servo or One Shot.
Expanded points are the same size with AI Servo or One Shot.
AF areas are the same size with AI Servo or One Shot.
Automatic point selection works exactly the same way with AI Servo or One Shot.
The only difference between AI Servo and One Shot other than those referenced above is that AI Servo continues to track the subject in the way that it has been instructed until the shutter is released (picture is taken) while One Shot stops tracking and holds the same focus distance between the time it confirms AF has been achieved in the way that it has been instructed until the shutter is released (picture is taken).

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza said on Wednesday that Burundians would fight against any peacekeepers sent into the country by the African Union, in his first public response to the AU’s plan to deal with an escalating political crisis.
Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza speaks to the media after he registered to run for a third five-year term in office, in the capital Bujumbura, May 8, 2015. REUTERS/Jean Pierre Aime Harerimana
The African Union said this month it was ready to send 5,000 peacekeepers to protect civilians caught up in months of violence, invoking for the first time powers to intervene in a member state against its will.
“Everyone has to respect Burundi borders,” Nkurunziza said in comments broadcast on state radio.
“In case they violate those principles, they will have attacked the country and every Burundian will stand up and fight against them ... The country will have been attacked and it will respond,” he said.
Other government officials have already said any peacekeepers arriving without Burundi’s permission would violate its sovereignty.
Nkurunziza also reiterated the government’s position that any opposition members who had taken part in a failed coup in May should be barred from participating in peace talks, which kicked off this week in Kampala, Uganda.
“We saw them the other day in Kampala as government opponents,” he said. “We can’t accept this. They must be arrested... Instead of bringing them to talks, they should instead bring them to the court.”
The talks, brokered by the East African Community regional bloc, were expected to reconvene in Tanzania next month, but it remains unclear if Burundi’s government will participate if they do not agree on which individuals represent the opposition.
More than 400 people have been killed and 220,000 have fled to neighboring countries since the crisis erupted in April, triggered by Nkurunziza’s bid for a third term.
Opposition groups took to the streets saying he was violating constitutional term limits. But he pointed to a court order allowing his campaign and was re-elected in a disputed July vote.
Continued clashes and targeted assassinations in the central African nation have unsettled a region where memories of the 1994 genocide in neighboring Rwanda are still raw.
In his comments on Wednesday, Nkurunziza also appeared to praise Rwandan President Paul Kagame, who Burundi has accused of supporting rebel groups’ efforts to recruit Burundian refugees and of interfering in Burundi’s affairs. Kagame denies this.
“I want to inform Rwandans that the relations with Rwanda will always be good as long I will be the president of Burundi,” Nkurunziza said. | 2024-06-03T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/2921 |
Nanofluidic biosensors are fluidic systems with nanometer-sized confinements and/or lateral apertures, which are used to quantify the presence of biomolecules in a solution. Most nanofluidic biosensor developments are intended for bioengineering and biotechnology applications. In the scope of this invention, the biosensors are used for example to quantify the presence of biomolecules in a solution for in vitro diagnostic applications.
Swiss patent application CH 01824/09 discloses biosensors with lateral apertures for the detection of biomolecular interactions, PCT application PCT/IB2010/050867 discloses the use of such biosensors with simple optical systems and PCT application PCT/IB2011/050979 discloses a method for avoiding long waiting times to attain stable measurement conditions. However, in all configurations described in these documents, the number of type of biomarker was limited to one per nanofluidic biosensor.
Biomarkers, also called biological markers, are substances used as specific indicators for detecting the presence of specific biomolecules. It is a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention.
Methods for the detection of specific biomolecules can be divided in two categories: (a) the labeled techniques and (b) the label-free techniques.
Among the labeled techniques, the widely used ones are fluorescence, colorimetry, radioactivity, phosphorescence, bioluminescence and chemiluminescence. Functionalized magnetic beads can also be considered as labeling techniques. Advantages of labeled techniques in comparison to label-free methods are the sensitivity and the molecular recognition due to specific labeling.
Among the label-free techniques, the widely used ones are electrochemical biosensors, referring to amperometric, capacitive, conductometric or impedimetric sensors, which have the advantage of being rapid and inexpensive. They measure the change in electrical properties of electrode structures as biomolecules become entrapped or immobilized onto or near the electrode. These technologies however lack molecular specific contrast, sensitivity and reliability.
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is an important biochemical technique mainly used to detect the presence of soluble biomolecules in serum, and is thus widely used as a diagnostic tool in medicine and quality control checks in various industries. ELISA analysis are however expensive, require large amounts of solution and are time consuming.
The other relevant technologies for biomolecular diagnostics are Western and Northern blots, protein electrophoresis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, these methods require highly concentrated analytes and do not allow high throughput samples testing. | 2024-02-10T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/8356 |
“I think all of these players that are going into their last year around the League, some of them will sign early because of the situation and the contract they’re getting. Other people will wait a little bit,” Murray said. “We’ve talked to Bobby at length through his agents. I believe it will take until he comes to Ottawa for training camp to continue the discussions. He’s one of the next guys we’re definitely going to try to keep here.”
Ryan, 27, is coming off his first season in Ottawa after being acquired from the Anaheim Ducks. In 70 games he had 23 goals and 48 points – his worst full season in since entering the NHL. After four straight 30+ goal seasons with the Ducks, adjusting to life in Ottawa was apparently a bit tricky.
With Ryan entering the final year of his deal, a big performance would go a long way to helping boost any offers he might get – whether they’re from the Sens or not.
Weber signed an offer sheet for a ridiculous amount of money to force Nashville’s hand and sign him already. He’s loyal to his team, is the captain of his team, and wants to win in Nashville, and that’s where he’s staying. Kane would probably want to play anywhere but Winnipeg right now and is kind of a d*uche…just cause he favorited a tweet about it doesn’t mean anything, unless you’ve talked to him personally about the matter. Bobby Ryan to Philly rumors have been swirling for years and nothing has come of them–more than likely he resigns in Ottawa cause they’ll know they have to pay him bigtime. I can understand it with Wild and Maple Leafs fans, that is players coming home to their teams, but Philly? Nobody really wants to go to Philly.
don’t throw mn under the bus on this one. no none here ever thought anyone was coming to minny recently except vanek…which happened. and that’s because parise and suter changed the culture around here. would i love ryan to come here? yes. will it happen? absolutely not.
as for broadstreetbeatdown’s retort: weber wanted to sign the biggest deal he could as an rfa at the time no matter who it was for because he knew the preds would match any offer. that offer sheet was all about getting paid more than it was about his desire to play in philly. he simply knew they’d throw him the biggest offer and, low and behold, the preds matched.
as far as ryan going to philly, i believe it’s a very strong possibility, though likely through free agency next summer as opposed to a trade deadline deal. when, not if, ottawa isn’t able to sign him, they will trade him, but not to philly. he’ll be the rental of the trade deadline this upcoming season before he settles in orange and black.
i feel like i’m forgetting something……oh yeah, evander kane…so will the rest of the hockey community, eventually.
broadstreetbeatdown - Aug 21, 2014 at 12:31 AM
Dear lord, you really are an idiot. Are you channelling your inner joey?
Caps going up 6 million next season and he’s from the area. Nextra season
atwatercrushesokoye - Aug 20, 2014 at 11:32 PM
Flyers have $3 million in cap space next year with 7 spots to fill, giving them the $4.9 million in cap space for Pronger (although now they have 8 spots to fill) and say $6 million from the cap going up (I’ll caution you though because everyone initially thought this year’s cap would come in at $71-72 million and it turned out to be $69 million) The Flyers now have $14 million in cap space and 8 roster spots to fill. Bobby Ryan takes up a minimum of $6 million per year (he’s not taking less than Cammalleri or Clarkson) so the Flyers end up with $8 million in space and 7 more roster spots to fill…that’s pretty much impossible.
A Bobby Ryan signing might make sense if Holmgren was still running the Flyers with his quickly reshuffle the roster every year ways but he’s not, Hextall is looking to build a long term winner with cap flexibility, I wouldn’t get my hopes up about Bobby Ryan.
Don’t forget some of those roster spots can be filled by prospects in the teams farm system laughton gostisbehere hagg but lets not let that get in the way of flyers bashers.
atwatercrushesokoye - Aug 21, 2014 at 12:10 AM
$8 million for 7 spots basically means you’re filling the bottom 1/3 of your roster with guys on entry level contracts and AHL players, I will give you that it’s possible but you’re pretty much taking every prospect in an already thin pipeline (22nd in the NHL according to Hockey’s Future) and asking them to be NHL players (ready or not) in order to give $6 million (which is an absolute minimum he’ll sign for) to a very good but not great player who’s production dropped off when he was removed from playing with the superstars in Anaheim.
My post wasn’t meant to bash the Flyers, I believe Hextall will build your team the right way, it’s more asking Flyers fans why they want to spend so much money on one hometown player when it will be at the expense of the roster depth? | 2024-07-09T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/6704 |

Chance for communities to save local war memorials in Bristol
The First World War Memorials Programme is coming to Bristol and volunteers are needed from to help find and save local war memorials.
An exciting opportunity has become available for communities Bristol to play a part in conserving and protecting their local war memorials as part of a project to commemorate the First World War.
Launched in 2014, the First World War Memorials Programme aims to inspire local communities across the country to survey and conserve their local war memorials to ensure that by the end of the centenary of the First World War, as many war memorials as possible are in good condition and fitting tributes to the fallen.
Funding is available for the repair and conservation of memorials, but help is needed to find them and record their condition first, using a simple survey. With around hundreds of war memorials in the Bristol area, there is no better time to make sure these tributes to the fallen are ‘fit for heroes’.
Civic Voice, the national charity for the civic movement, is looking for volunteers from the Bristol area to help with this campaign. Civic Voice is bringing a free war memorials workshop to the city on November 29 th to train volunteers how to survey the condition of their war memorials. If you would like to attend the workshop or learn more about the programme, please visit www.civicvoice.org.uk/campaigns/war-memorials- /
Andrews Murrison MP, the Prime Minister’s Special Representative for the Centenary Commemoration of the First World War said, “War memorials are a key part of this country's culture, heritage and, vitally, remembrance. It is important that we act now to save them. I regularly follow and support the work undertaken by Civic Voice and look forward to encouraging others to become involved too.”
Anna Wilson of Civic Voice said “If people from every part Bristol were to undertake a simple survey of their local war memorial the result could be that all the city’s memorials could be in really good condition by 2018, in time for the national commemorations of the end of the First World War. Extra funding to save war memorials is only available during the centenary years so now is the time to act to save the nation’s war memorials. Come along to the workshop to find out more!” | 2023-12-19T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/7021 |

Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (pdf)
Published: 3rd October 2019
“The switch from petrol and diesel to electric vehicles is a fast-moving area, and we wanted to be sure our emerging thoughts were in step with the evolving world. Earlier this year, we took the unusual step of publishing a draft report and making it available for stakeholders to comment and reflect on what we’d seen so far. As a result, we’ve been able to ensure the voice of those who use electric cars, and those curious about doing so in the future, has been heard.”
– Committee Chair, Russell George AM (Con, Montgomery)

1. Welsh Government policy is heading in the right direction
First, the good news. The Welsh Government is starting to take electric and low-carbon vehicles more seriously, with transport accounting for 13% of all of Wales’ carbon emissions. There’s a policy aim for the public sector vehicle fleet to be ultra-low emission by 2025.
A new transport strategy is due to be published in the first half of 2020 and electric vehicle infrastructure is expected to be a key part of those plans. The Welsh Government believes that Transport for Wales could lead the development of an electric charging network, with lessons learned from the experiences of the Superfast Cymru programme (don’t over-promise, communicate effectively and make sure public investment results in a share of private profit).
2. Current charging infrastructure is insufficient
Despite all of the policy goals, electric vehicle charging is still in its relative infancy. While part of this is down to the vehicle manufacturers themselves (membership schemes, cards, apps and a lack of standardisation of power sources was said to be confusing), the Committee believes current infrastructure would struggle to cope with a major increase in the number of electric vehicles on Welsh roads.
The Welsh Government expects the private sector to take the lead on rolling-out infrastructure, aided by a £2million fund committed over two years as part of a budget deal with Plaid Cymru, which ends in the current financial year. The Economy Minister, Ken Skates (Lab, Clwyd South), said the alternative would be for the taxpayer to foot the bill for what would be quite expensive infrastructure.
The Committee’s headline recommendation is that the latest planning policy is updated so that a requirement for new non-residential developments to install charging points in at least 10% of available parking spaces is extended to new residential developments. They also recommended the Welsh Government encourage local authorities to bid for UK Government on-street charging point grants.
3. Significant barriers remain regarding electric vehicle take-up
The main barriers identified during the inquiry are the high price of electric vehicles, “range anxiety” (fear of running out of power due to a lack of recharging infrastructure) and the ability of the National Grid to support a large increase in electric vehicles.
Some witnesses said “range anxiety” was unfounded as electric vehicle owners are well aware of how far they can go, while the National Grid were confident they could cope with an increase in electric vehicles (without specifying how much of an increase they could cope with) – though they stressed the importance of making sure rural areas weren’t left out. | 2024-01-28T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/3749 |
Integration of VEGF and α-SMA Expression Improves the Prediction Accuracy of Fibrosis in Chronic Hepatitis C Liver Biopsy.
The progression of fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a multifactorial process. The high adverse effects and the cost of standard health care increase the demand to discover new predictors for the progression of fibrosis in CHC patients. Our study aims to establish the relation between the angiogenic marker [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)] and activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) represented by the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and whether these 2 markers can be used as predictors for the progression of fibrosis in patients with CHC. Histopathologic and immunohistochemical analyses were used for examining the morphology and the expression of VEGF and α-SMA in 60 CHC biopsies procured from CHC patients. Multivariate analysis was used to correlate the protein expression with staging and grading of liver fibrosis. Cutoff values of α-SMA and VEGF were determined by the receiver operating characteristics curve. There was a positive correlation between VEGF and HSCs expressing α-SMA (ρ=0.287, P=0.026) and both factors were correlated with the stage of fibrosis (P<0.001). Using the receiver operating characteristics curve, both VEGF (area under the curve=0.71, P<0.006) and α-SMA (area under the curve=0.82, P<0.001) were positive predictors for moderate and severe fibrosis. This study demonstrates the relation between VEGF expression and the activated HSCs denoted by the expression of α-SMA in CHC biopsies and together can be used as a predictor for the progression of fibrosis. | 2023-12-16T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/6322 |

My hubby and I were on a little weekend getaway from Oahu and had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Dave Giannotto at our very first visit to this fine Italian restaurant on Sunday night, 6/15/2014. We ate here for dinner. From the minute we entered his restaurant, he greeted us very warmly and made us feel like family. There were so many different things that we had wanted to try but we ended up ordering a deluxe whole 16 inch pizza to share between the two of us, needless to say, we polished up the WHOLE pizza!
The crust is tasty and perfectly chewy with a crisp and light surface firm enough at the bottom to support the weight of the generous amounts of toppings added to the pie. For our deluxe pizza, we had a generous amount of cheese, pepperoni, sausage, olives, green pepper, tomato, and onions. The tomato sauce is very flavorful and perfectly seasoned with the right amount of herbs and spices which complemented the toppings and crust very well. When the pizza arrived at our table, it was piping hot and cooked to perfection!
Dave is a genuinely nice guy who takes the time to explain his menu items and makes suggestions as to what you may want to try, especially if it's your first time, as it was ours. He also took the time to come to our table and chat with us not only about how we felt about his food, but he also takes the time to get to know you on a personal level as well. There is a true sincerity here and you really do feel welcomed and like a part of his family while you're here. You will definitely taste his families legacy and love for food with every bite you take. It's hard to find places where you can taste a families rich history and love for food these days, so eating here was a true treat! Our only regret that night was that we did not leave enough room for dessert! After polishing off a 16 inch pie between the two of us, we just could not do it! The pizza was just too good to stop! All of the desserts are homemade, which include tiramisu, cheescake, cannoli, and zeppoli's. We will be sure to save enough room for dessert next time!
Giannotto's Pizzaria is totally legit and has bomb pizza's! This pizza was by far, one of the best pizzas that we've had ever! We travel a bit and have eaten some bomb pizza's in our lifetime and we can confidently say that eating Dave's pizza is a pleasantly memorable experience and is right up there with our favorite pizza's to eat! The next time we visit from Oahu, we will be sure to make a stop here again! The next time you're on Maui, make sure to stop here for meal, you definitely won't regret it! We're definitely going to be refering our friends and family to Giannotto's!

We live in Wailuku and the food came in 25 minutes which was quick for delivery. I love their white pizza with different cheeses and garlic. The dough is nice and chewy and crispy too. The cheesesteak sandwich is wonderful. Their chocolate cheesecake and tiramisu is divine!! Totally New York taste!

Report on the incidence of interstitial lung diseases in Spain.
Almost no epidemiological data are available on a worldwide basis on the prevalence, incidence or relative frequency of interstitial lung diseases (ILD). We report the results of a registration of ILD by 23 centers of pulmonary medicine in Spain over one year (from October 2000 to September 2001). A standardized questionnaire was sent to the centers, together with guidelines for classification and diagnostic evaluation. This questionnaire included questions about the explorations performed to establish the diagnosis. A total of 511 cases were registered. The mean age of the patients was 61 +/- 0.7 (x +/- SEM) yrs. The male to female ratio was 1.2:1. The estimated incidence of ILD was 7.6 per 100,000/year. The most frequent disease was idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (38.6%), followed in decreasing order by sarcoidosis (14.9%), cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (10.4%), ILD associated with collagen vascular diseases (9.9%) and hypersensitivity pneumonitis (6.6%). In 5.1% of cases ILD was unclassified. HRCT scan was performed in 91.9% of cases, bronchoalveolar lavage in 67.9%, transbronchial lung biopsy in 59.9%, and surgical lung biopsy in 22.7%. This registration provides interesting information on the occurrence of ILD in Spain and on the procedures used to establish the diagnosis. | 2023-12-18T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/6885 |
Many musical instruments generate an electronic signal as an output to an amplifier or recording device. Examples of such electronic musical instruments include electric guitars, microphones, and synthesizers. The output of such instruments can be readily modified using a device called an effect, which comprises: a means to input the audio signal; specialized audio circuitry to modify or enhance the signal; and a means to output the signal. Examples of effects include reverberation effects to make an instrument sound like it is being played in a large space like a concert hall or cathedral; equalization effects to change the tone of the instrument; and gain effects to boost the amplitude of electric guitar signal in specific ways prior to further amplification.
The input to an effect is an audio signal, which is most typically analog signal (although digital signals can be used) whose voltage varies over time. The output of an effect is also an audio signal, which is most typically an analog signal (although digital signals may be used with special speakers) whose voltage varies over time. In this manner, multiple effects can be used in series for a more complex signal modification.
The internal processing of an effect can typically be adjusted by the user, to some extent, with one or more controls provided in the form of switches, potentiometers, and input devices. Examples of such controls include: a switch to bypass the effect or engage it in the signal path; potentiometers to control intensity or rate; and a jack to accept a variable-voltage device to control some musical expression of sound. | 2023-08-13T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/1061 |
Q:
How to set focus/active on the clicked li(tab) in angular.js
I have tab list where I'm trying to set class to the clicked list item (but class should be set only for clicked item) and my html looks like this:
<div class="details-table">
<ul class="table-toggle">
<li class="active"><a href="" class="">Personal</a></li>
<li><a href="" class="" >Professional</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="scrollable-table-box">
<table>
...
</table>
</div>
</div>
And my css looks like this:
.details-table {
display: block;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
.table-toggle {
display: block;
float: left;
width: 100%;
border-bottom: solid 5px #d9d9d9;
}
.table-toggle li {
display: block;
float: left;
width: 220px;
margin-right: 5px;
}
.table-toggle li a {
color: #868686;
display: block;
font-size: 14px;
padding: 15px 30px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.table-toggle li:hover a,
.table-toggle li.active a {
background-color: #d9d9d9;
color: #333;
font-weight: 600;
}
I want to set the focus to the clicked li item but I am not able to determine how I can do that ? I tried to use ng-click() but I am not sure how to set the focus to selected item inside that.
A:
You can apply ng-class to determine the active item as below. Set activetab on your ng-click.
<li ng-class="{active: activeTab == 'personal'}"><a href="#" ng-click="setActiveTab('personal')" class="">Personal</a></li>
<li ng-class="{active: activeTab == 'professional'}"><a href="#" ng-click="setActiveTab('professional')" class="" >Professional</a></li>
//JS
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.activeTab = 'personal';
$scope.setActiveTab = function(value) {
$scope.activeTab = value;
};
});

Using family reconstitution methods, historical demographers are able to reconstruct life histories with data from vital records. In countries where they exist and where data are of good quality (notably in the Nordic countries, Belgium and the Netherlands), population registers can be used to describe the fertility and mortality of historical populations. A major problem with these data sources, however, is the under-reporting of information on migration. The presence of individuals remains certain so long as the events concerning them (or their family) are registered, but if no further information is recorded, there is no way of knowing whether they have migrated or not.
2 In this article, George Alter, Isabelle Devosand and Alison Kvetko estimate the migration probability of each subject "lost to observation" on the basis of his or her individual characteristics, then randomly impute an exit date. Bias due to missing data can thus be corrected by assigning an exit date to each subject. Classic event history analysis methods can then be used, as if individual records were complete up to the exit date.
3 Using a nineteenth-century population register of a Belgian municipality in which emigrants are identified and their exit date is known, the authors test their method and confirm its robustness, adding a simple and effective new instrument to the demographer's toolbox. | 2024-02-04T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/1239 |
Q:
setGesture() displays the gesture outside the screen: Android
I am developing an android app in which I need to display the saved gesture to the user. I have tried doing it using the GestureOverlayView object's setGesture() function but it displays the gesture well outside the screen. Only small portion is visible in the left top corner of the screen in the Android emulator 2.1.
Here is the code that I have used..
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.savegesture);
gestureoverlay = (GestureOverlayView) findViewById(R.id.gestures_overlay2);
mOldGesture = (Gesture) getIntent().getExtras().get("gesture");
mDoneButton = findViewById(R.id.done);
DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);
gestureoverlay.setLayoutParams(new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(dm.widthPixels,dm.heightPixels,0x50));
gestureoverlay.setGesture(mOldGesture);
gestureoverlay.invalidate();
}
The android GestureOverlayView defined in "savegesture.xml" is as follows:-
<android.gesture.GestureOverlayView android:scaleType="center" android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="@+id/gestures_overlay2" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gestureStrokeType="multiple" />
I don't know what the problem is, but it won't show the gesture ON the screen....
A:
Although this is a 3 year old question, I'll still add an answer.
The gesture appears outside the GestureOverlayView because it's been set in onCreate. It must be set after the layout measurements have been computed.
ViewTreeObserver can be used to know when the layout has been measured.
ViewTreeObserver vto = gestureoverlay.getViewTreeObserver();
vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
@Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
gestureoverlay.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
gestureoverlay.setGesture(mOldGesture);
}
});

Q:
Show Covergence, Integral
$$\int_{0}^{1} \frac{e^x}{x^6+x} dx$$
This how i approached the problem:
1st Step : Using partial fractions.
$$e^x = A(x^5+1)+Bx^2+Cx$$
Now can i solve for $$Cx = e^x$$ and get $$C=e^{-ln(x)+x}$$
I want to understand if these are special kind of problem while, i dont think $$x^6+x)$$ is a polynomial that i could just factor. If someone has time and Energy to show me how it is done. Would highly appreciate it.
A:
Notice that $$\frac{e^{x}}{x^{6}+x}\geq \frac{1}{x^{6}+x}\geq \frac{1}{2x}$$ for all $x\in [0,1]$
Since the integrand is non-negative on $[0,1]$, the integral diverges by simple comparison with $$\int_{0}^{1}{\frac{dx}{2x}}$$

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to microwave bandpass filters and to a method of operating said filters and, more particularly, to further substantial miniaturization achievable in dielectric resonator filters where mass and size of the filters are critical and to a method of operating said filters at cryogenic temperatures.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is known that the use of dielectric resonators in microwave filters results in a significant reduction in size and mass while maintaining a performance comparable to that of waveguide filters without dielectric resonators. A typical dielectric resonator filter consists of a ceramic resonator disc mounted in a particular way inside a metal cavity. In addition to miniaturization, loss performance as well as thermal and mechanical stability are also important considerations in the design of dielectric resonator filters.
For dielectric resonator filters, the size of the cavity can be substantially reduced by mounting the dielectric resonator along a base wall of the cavity rather than mounting the resonator in a centre of the cavity. However, when the resonator is mounted on a base wall of the cavity, the Q of the resonator may be reduced and it may be difficult to mount the resonator inside the cavity. Further, current resonator mountings may not withstand the mechanical vibrations that are necessary when the filter is used in space applications.
Single, dual and triple mode dielectric resonator waveguide filters are known (See U.S. Pat. No. 4,142,164 by Nishikawa, et al. issued Feb. 27th, 1979; U.S. Pat. No. 4,028,652 by Wakino, et al. issued Jun. 7th, 1977; Paper by Guillon, et al. entitled "Dielectric Resonator Dual-Mode Filters", Electron Lett, Volume 16, pages 646 to 647, Aug. 14th, 1980; U.S. Pat. No. 4,489,293 by Fiedziuszko issued Dec. 18th, 1984; U.S. Pat. No. 4,453,146 by Fiedziuszko issued Jun. 5th, 1984; U.S. Pat. No. 4,652,843 by Tang, et al. issued Mar. 24th, 1987; U.S. Pat. No. 4,675,630 by Tang, et al. issued Jun. 23rd, 1987; U.S. Pat. No. 5,083,102 by Zaki issued Jan. 21, 1992.).
U.S. Pat. No. 5,179,074 was issued on Jan. 12th, 1993 to Fiedziuszko, et al. and describes a hybrid dielectric resonator high temperature superconductor filter which utilizes a plurality of resonators in a cavity where each resonator is spaced from a conductive wall of the cavity by a superconductive layer. The superconductive layer is capable of superconducting at temperatures as high as about 77.degree. K. A heat exchanger is used to maintain the housing at or below the critical temperature of the superconductor. The filter uses a heat exchanger or other temperature control means to cool the structure to maintain a superconductive sheet below the critical temperature for superconduction. The filter as described cannot achieve the standard of miniaturization achieved by the present invention and, among other differences, does not disclose the use of dielectric blocks. U.S. Pat. No. 4,881,051 by W. C. Tang, et al. issued Nov. 14th, 1989 describes a dielectric image-resonator multiplexer but does not suggest the structure of the present invention and is not capable of achieving the miniaturization achieved with the present invention. | 2024-05-29T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/2068 |
Thailand’s state-sanctioned weed farmers are preparing to reap what they’ve sown.
The seeds planted earlier this year by government growers tasked with overseeing cannabis cultivation have sprouted into 140 healthy marijuana plants, the Government Pharmaceutical Organization has announced.
Seeds Planted: Thailand breaks ground with first legal marijuana plants (Videos)
It should take another couple months and change for the plants to blossom, after which they will be harvested and processed into cannabis oil for use in clinical trials, said the organization’s chairman, Sopon Mekthon.
The plants are being grown at the kingdom’s first-ever medical marijuana plantation at the Rangsit Pharmaceutical Production Plant in the northern outskirts of metro Bangkok.
Rangsit is also home to the kingdom’s first undergraduate marijuana studies program which was announced earlier this month and will cover topics such as cultivation tech.

Morphometric analysis of the sternum.
Sternum has a great clinical significance, considering that median sternotomy is the most common surgical approach used in cardiac surgery. The aim of this study is to standardize the sternum according to size, shape and sex and to obtain ranges of the "standard sternum". The study was done on 55 male and 35 female sterna of the average age of 65. Complex morphometric analysis of breadth, length and thickness of the sterna were performed on sternal segments which were defined by costal notches. Morphometric analysis shows that the general sternum structure in the females and in the males is equal. The standard dimensions of female and male sternum were determined. Standardization according to shape suggests that there is one standard sternum shape present in more than 2/3 of analysed samples of both sexes. | 2024-02-20T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/8077 |
Q:
OpenGL LWJGL Invalid Enum
I'm tring to implement a Shader in a LWJGL Application.
Got an 'invalid Enum' Exception if i try to attach the Shader.
Okay, Code talke more....
private void attach(int progID) {
GL20.glAttachShader(progID, vertShaderID);
GL20.glAttachShader(progID, fragShaderID);
System.out.println("Tester: " + GLU.gluErrorString(GL11.glGetError()));
GL20.glLinkProgram(progID);
System.out.println("Tester: " + GLU.gluErrorString(GL11.glGetError()));
if(GL20.glGetShader(progID, GL20.GL_LINK_STATUS) == GL11.GL_FALSE) {
System.err.println("error during linking shaders! " + GL20.glGetProgramInfoLog(progID, 1000) + " " + GLU.gluErrorString(GL11.glGetError()));
}
GL20.glValidateProgram(progID);
System.out.println(GL20.glGetProgramInfoLog(progID, 1000));
System.out.println("Tester: " + GLU.gluErrorString(GL11.glGetError()));
System.out.println(GL20.glGetProgramInfoLog(progID, 1000));
if(GL20.glGetShader(progID, GL20.GL_VALIDATE_STATUS) == GL11.GL_FALSE) {
System.err.println("error during validating shaders! " + GL20.glGetProgramInfoLog(progID, 1000) + " " + GLU.gluErrorString(GL11.glGetError()));
}
}
produces output:
Tester: No error
Tester: No error
Validation successfull
Tester: Invalid Enum
Validation successfull
So i follow the source of Exception to this Function.
What does this Validation Function? If the program Log is 'Validation successfull', what produces this Error? Or is that Error called from any other Situation where I used a GL Function in the Application? And what means The Invlaid Enum Error? It means that i used a GL Type wrong?
A:
GL_LINK_STATUS is not something you can query with glGetShader{iv} (...), that is for shader status. You probably meant to use GL_COMPILE_STATUS for each of your shaders.
GL20.glGetShader (vertShaderID, GL20.GL_COMPILE_STATUS);
GL20.glGetShader (fragShaderID, GL20.GL_COMPILE_STATUS);
GL_LINK_STATUS is only a valid enum for glGetProgram{iv} (...):
GL20.glGetProgram (progID, GL20.GL_LINK_STATUS);
Ideally you should check the compile status for each shader, and then the link status after linking all shaders using the functions and enums I mentioned above.

Glutathione is the antioxidant responsible for resistance to oxidative stress in V79 Chinese hamster fibroblasts rendered resistant to cadmium.
By manipulation of Cd and Zn concentrations in the medium, several phenotypes, differing in the contents of glutathione (GSH) and metallothionein (Mt), were derived from a parental clone of V79 Chinese hamster fibroblast. In some of these phenotypes, resistance to Cd and cross-resistance to oxidative stress was developed. The highest levels of GSH and Mt were found in cells which were rendered resistant to Cd by stepwise increases of Cd and Zn in the cell medium for over 50 passages. Upon removal of Cd/Zn from the medium of these cells or addition of Cd/Zn to the parental cell medium, changes of cellular GSH and Mt levels occurred to different extents. At the same time, changes in the resistance to Cd and H2O2 were observed. Good linear correlations were observed for Mt levels x resistance to Cd and for GSH levels x resistance to H2O2. Poor linear correlations were found for Mt levels x resistance to H2O2 or for GSH levels x resistance to Cd. Moreover, addition of Zn to the medium produced an increase in Mt content without affecting the GSH content. In this case no cross-resistance to oxidative stress was developed. Therefore, Mt which has been shown to be an excellent antioxidant in in vitro experiments, does not seem to play any major role against oxidative stress in Zn and Cd challenged cells. Most of the cross-resistance to oxidative stress in Cd challenged cells seems to be accounted for by the parallel increase in GSH. | 2024-05-10T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/8345 |
Emotion dysregulation in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder.
To characterize emotion regulation strategies in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) and to explore whether these strategies are associated with clinical symptoms. In this cross-sectional multicenter study, a total of 94 polysomnography-confirmed iRBD patients (mean age, 67.6 years; men, 56%) and 50 healthy controls (mean age, 65.4 years; men, 48%) completed the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), the Korean version of the RBD questionnaire-Hong Kong (RBDQ-KR), the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI), the second edition of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), and the Korean version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-K). The iRBD group had lower CERQ adaptive scores than the control group, whereas the CERQ maladaptive scores were not significantly different between the groups. Among the CERQ adaptive subscales, the scores for positive refocusing, refocusing on planning, and positive reappraisal were significantly lower in the iRBD group than in the control group. Higher CERQ adaptive scores were correlated with lower scores on RBDQ-KR factor 1 (dream-related) and the BDI-II and higher MoCA-K scores but were not correlated with RBDQ-KR factor 2 (behavioral manifestation) or BDHI scores. Among the dream content-related items of RBDQ-KR factor 1, the CERQ adaptive score was associated only with frequent nightmares. No correlation was found between CERQ maladaptive scores and any variable except for a positive correlation with BDI-II scores. Our results provide evidence of emotion regulation deficits in iRBD patients. Furthermore, these results were linked to dream-related factors, especially nightmares, along with depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment. | 2023-09-20T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/5363 |
TM has a great lineup for amateur golfers. They have little irons or wedges played by professionals. Many professionals will just play there drivers and woods. There putter's aren't that impressive either. So TM tailors to the largest market out there, US!!!
But TM is great on marketing. The white clubhead is great because it was new in a time with social media and enhanced golf coverage, that they could get people to say, "Hey, that pro is playing a TM, its a white driver". It might have been done before, but timing wise, it was perfect.

Uh, no.
TM applied optic science to the club head. Its origins are not marketing, even though you've made them a marketing genius.
White is easier to aim against a black face. There is actual research in it. TM also applied for a patent on the idea:
OK, now back to the science of white golf club heads. TaylorMade recently had a patent application publish as US Pub. No. 20120094782 titled “Contrast-Enhanced Golf Club Heads,” which describes the invention as:
Golf club heads include white diffusing top surfaces to aid in club head alignment. Wood type club heads also include a dark diffusing club face so that a crown/face border is emphasized. Scorelines in wood type clubs can be provided with an intermediate contrast surface, and can be displaced from club face center to accommodate player perception when confronted with a white diffusing crown.
The point is, and which many of you refuse to accept because of some irrational obsession about TM and marketing, and dismissing everything else - is that TM makes clubs fit for professionals - Luke Donald is a Mizuno player who uses TM Drivers. There are others.

Every OEM has a strength.
Actually white is very annoying to line up to :p, my personal preference kills the science, got to love outliers :p
Sorry could help myself, i hate white clubheads, they make me uncomfortable.
No, i made my point fine, Taylormade is very much a driver & Wood company, they make them very good. But there selection of tour irons is very limited, and there selection of GI to super GI irons are much more. Meaning they market, target a broad base of customers, us amateurs. Mizuno doesn't do this, they have 4-5 different types of irons for very good golfers. Titliest is similar in the Mizuno mold.
What white does is, it makes a driver look bigger, its something artist known for a long time. dark colors are slimming, light colors are not. So, they can make a driver look bigger. This bugs me, but it probably helps in alignment. I think there technology were they have an adjustable plate at the underside of the driver that allows you to sit the driver down either; square, neutral, open, probably helps more. If white was such a great enhancer of alignment, then why ad an alignment aid such as that? Just curious, to me its a waste of resources to double down on the same enhancement. To me, they can make all the research on optics they want. One thing i know is, optics is a very hard thing to define in science. Ever were glasses?. This guy who got eye surgery told me he had no clue how much things looked smaller now. Because glasses act as a magnifier, it will also cause distortion on the edges, like door frames will look bent. But he had surgery that really enhanced his eyes, it was strange because suddenly his dog looked smaller. He had no clue, because he wore glasses all his life. So the point is, your mind will adjust optics. So they can throw a white driver out there, have people say, "Oh yea, this lines up better", well maybe its because its something new, when they played golf with a black driver all there life. I tried this out once, i used a marker and highlighed the base groove on my irons. I was able to tell if my club was lined up right. I remember some older irons actually painted there bottom groove white to help with alignment. So any color besides one you know will help. This tells me one thing, there is a science behind it, but if every driver went white, in 10 years someone will change it to blue and they will be able to line up better. But there is one thing that did help, a white driver, like painting grass edge around the cup on the green white, stands out on TV. When you get something that's different, and its a good product, you will improve sales.
Never been a fan of TaylorMade equipment, the Penta 5 layer ball notwithstanding.
When I went looking for a new set of clubs last year I looked at Adams, Mizuno, Callaway, and Titleist. Taylormade never even entered my mind as an option.
I was later disappointed when I found out that TM bought Adams ... sad.
I hadn't bought anything TM (except for the LDP Red Golf balls) for over 14 years until recently. I'd only consider the Drivers, RBZ woods and hybrids - Other makers design and manufacture irons, wedges, and putters, that fit my needs better.
As to Adams, from all reports, TM was treating them separately. But some of their talent went to Callaway with Chip Brewer - and a former Adams guy designed the XHots. And coincidentally, Adams gear has been relatively quiet on golf forums this year.
Back to King's comment.
1. Doesn't the guy have the right to express his opinion?
2. Is Tiger a god that any claim that he is not the for-all / end-all of the sport constitutes blasphemy? From some of the posts on here, the wood is being laid for the burning of a heretic.
3. Aren't there senses in which King's statement might be true? For example--
A. What can you say about a sport that is defined by one person? Is that a healthy sport?
B. 90+% of Tiger's income came from endorsements, all of which comes from consumers because the companies that pay megabucks to Tiger pass along their costs to consumers. In that sense alone, Tiger's example and that of the others like McIlroy who seek to follow him simply raise the costs of playing the sport.
C. As far as fandom, who wants to see one guy lock up all the championships? Who wants to see the overdog win and the underdog lose? Following pro golf is a lot more fun now than it was 10 years ago, imo.
No one has said that King doesn't have a right to express his opinion. For some reason, this sentiment always makes its way into threads when there is a general consensus that someone is wrong, and I'm not exactly sure why.
He has all the right in the world to say whatever he wants, just as we all have he right to disagree with him, and to not buy his products.

Agreed, having a difference of opinion doesn't mean one side doesn't have the right to say that opinion. Its like the arguement that if you disagree with Obama you must be a racist. Or you must respect him because he's the president, another absurd notion. Kind has ever right to say what he wants, he just better be ready for the backlash/responses to his comments.
What exactly is King saying? From the statement quoted, I don't think we can say for sure. Might be a comment on the golf industry and the competitive economic environment. Might be about golf as a sport. Do we really know what he was driving at?
And is it an attack on Tiger Woods? Some here react as though King is being racist, an orientaphobe for example. Sorry; Tiger is not God nor the Pope nor the president. And if he were, so what? All three of those are criticized all the time. I am reminded of the Yiddish saying "If God lived in the stetl, every night his windows would be broken out." So it is for the Pope, for the president, for Tiger Woods. Who cares?
Yeah, ever since Tiger Woods came on the scene, seems like there is some A-H yelling out "In the hole! In the hole!!" at tournaments. Makes you want to turn off the TV sound, but then you'd miss the dulcet tones of Johnny Miller. That alone has to herald the end of golf as we know it.
We have no clue as to what King meant but all these reactions are flying around like somebody's ox just got gored. What ox?
Remember that Powerbilt ad where they said that the cost of player endorsements were a bidding war that threatened to eat up their bottom line, that they were dropping player endorsements? That they were giving their customers a better cheaper product by not throwing money at players?
I think that's what King meant. Purely a business comment about the business of golf. And if that was what King meant he'd have been right. IMO.Edited by Ole_Tom_Morris - 4/30/13 at 11:10am
This comment, at least from TM's prospective of new club sales, reminds me a bit of the comments we hear from record company executives whining about declining sales of CDs, as they attempt to blame it all on music pirating of MP3 and other downloadable files**. It altogether fails to take into consideration the impact of the internet and eBay on massively increasing the market for used goods. I buy 20 used CDs (or heavily discounted new ones off eBay or from an Amazon affiliated seller) for every new one I take out of the wrapper for which I've paid anything approaching retail price.
Similarly, in the past 12 years or so, the only significant golf items I've bought new aside from gloves and balls were two pairs of shoes, a bag and a current-model 3-wood that was only being discounted about $30 used on eBay last year. Plus a new wedge I bought off eBay for 65% off retail. I've bought three drivers, four sets of irons, and three wedges, all used off eBay in this time period.
I'm hardly alone in looking to save money on used equipment. Right now there are 211,000 auctions on eBay for golf clubs. In part to compete with online pressures, my biggest local golf store has greatly increased their used selection - they have about 5 barrels with at least 500 used wedges in them, plus probably 150+ used sets of irons and hundreds of used drivers and woods. That's probably double or triple what they offered a decade ago.
Golfers are spending many millions of dollars on used golf equipment these days that was not available or not available so readily in the pre-Tiger days of the internet (eBay started in 1995, Tiger turned pro in 1996). This factor certainly has to contribute toward TaylorMade's disappointment with its sales.
================
If Tiger was as blond and blue-eyed as his ex-wife, I wonder how much less criticism of his morality we'd see and hear. I'm guessing it would be a good 50% less.
Remember, all those "classy family-men" athletes in decades past did not have to deal with the paparazzi and the internet revealing what they were doing when they were away from home out on tour or at away games. Plus there was a tacit agreement between the old-style media men and celebrities to let the famous have their fun in privacy. Don't forget that something like 50% of all married people are supposed to have cheated on their spouses at some point in their marraiges, so it's not like Tiger's the devil incarnate. He was a man who had everything in world (as far as we know) who made some puzzlingly bad decisions, certainly. But a man who has contributed so much to charitable organizations, particularly those that help kids, is hardly in the bottom tenth of a percent as far as morality goes.
================
** A complete, off-topic aside to any record company executives out there: a major reason for your declining sales is that there's just no good music to buy anymore. That huge album buying demographic - males age 13-25 - hasn't stopped buying albums because they grew up, they have stopped buying albums because the rock music they loved and bought in droves during the 60's, 70's and 80's is essentially dead, driven into obscurity by the crappy pop and juvenile rap music you've promoted at the expense of rock. When there's nothing worth buying, people don't bother taking out their wallets.
that is absurd look at the numbers during the years of the "tiger" effect the amount of golf courses being built were at an all time high. Nike "came into the forefront of GOLF marketing. Which led way to taylormade to even tap into a dying market ( who other then the burner driver were an irrelevant company). Tiger became the "cool" swing to duplicate, working out getting into shape all became important POWER became bigger then the game and golf became a sport overnight for the masses. Nevermind the fact that purses on the PGA tour tripled and he was a different race then golf purists thought should be allowed to play. So i guess the moron CEO was right in his comment if this discussion is to refute his impact on the game.
I would not blame Tiger for the poor behaviour of society on or off the course. Anyone who has been playing for more than 20 years knows what I am talking about.
Tiger cannot be credited with the building of all the new golf courses in the late 90's and early 00's, that really belongs to the Baby Boomer bubble and Alan Greenspan's cheap money, both bubbles of which have popped.
True, the boom of the late 90's specifically the tech bubble, brought in a ton of new money. Golf is an expensive game, and a game were people can mingle and build networks. Its only natural that more golf courses be built.
To me, Tiger's biggest deal is getting young america back into the game of golf.
Back to King's comment.
1. Doesn't the guy have the right to express his opinion?
2. Is Tiger a god that any claim that he is not the for-all / end-all of the sport constitutes blasphemy? From some of the posts on here, the wood is being laid for the burning of a heretic.
King has the right to express his opinion. As the CEO of a public company, he should try to ensure his comments aren't viewed as offensive or inflammatory by his customers, unless his intent is to simply gain attention by being controversial, which some other CEO's like Trump do quite often.
While I don't credit Tiger for all the golf courses that were built, I think it's pretty obvious he had a positive impact on viewership and participation. Until Tiger hit the scene I never watched golf, but once I heard about how good he was, I became interested. I know many others, like myself, would have likely never watched golf or started playing golf if Tiger had not been such a dominating athlete in the sport.
This is not the first time King has made stupid / controversial comments. He likes to see his name in print and likely has taken a page out of Trumps book in believing there's no such thing as bad publicity. There might be an exception to that rule in that myself and a few others just on this board have decided not to support King's company as a result of his comments. Conversely, others may be inclined to buy his products because they agree with his statements. The 2013 financials will show if his comments helped or hurt TM.
No effect on the Economics? He's the first ever billion dollar athlete. I'm sure Nike would concur, along with all the TV Networks. Wonder if he'd change his mind if Tiger was hitting a TaylorMade driver. | 2024-03-22T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/5753 |
56 F.2d 772 (1932)
MASAICHI ONO
v.
CARR, District Director.[*]
No. 6630.
Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
March 7, 1932.
*773 J. Edward Keating and Theodore E. Bowen, both of Los Angeles, Cal., for appellant.
Samuel W. McNabb, U. S. Atty., and Milo E. Rowell, Asst. U. S. Atty., both of Los Angeles, Cal. (Harry B. Blee, U. S. Immigration Service, of Los Angeles, Cal., on the brief), for appellee.
Before WILBUR and SAWTELLE, Circuit Judges.
WILBUR, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from an order discharging a writ of habeas corpus and remanding petitioner to the custody of the United States Immigration Service for return to Japan. Petitioner and his wife had applied to the immigration authorities for admission to the United States upon the ground that he was a treaty merchant and for that reason entitled to enter the United States. Upon the hearing, the petitioner testified that he had purchased for the sum of $30,000 a partnership interest in the Kameya Company doing business at Gardena, Cal. The alleged partner also testified that petitioner had purchased an interest in a copartnership engaged in conducting a grocery business in Gardena by the payment of $30,000.
The hearing was adjourned from day to day and finally, upon cross-examination by the immigration authorities, petitioner admitted that his testimony to the effect that he had paid $30,000 for an interest in the copartnership was false. The first hearing was had on November 12, 1930, at which time the petitioner testified falsely, and another hearing was had on November 18, 1930, another on November 19, 1930, and it was not until the fourth appearance before the immigration authorities on November 21, 1930, that the applicant admitted that his testimony was false. He had also testified in connection with his hearing that he had no re-entry permit, basing his application entirely upon the theory that he was a treaty merchant and therefore entitled to bring his wife with him. Upon rejection of his application for admission, petitioner at once applied for admission upon a re-entry permit No. 615437, issued to him on June 2, 1930. This permit showed the appellant to be a resident of the United States about to depart for Japan for a temporary period and he would be entitled by reason thereof to re-entry into the United States, but this would not entitle him to bring in his wife to whom he was married on his visit to Japan. It was this fact no doubt which inspired the effort to enter as a treaty merchant. The wife returned to Japan and the new application for entry upon the basis of the re-entry permit was made December 30, 1930.
The board denied admission to the applicant upon the ground that he testified falsely under oath before the Board of Special Inquiry, and admitted having done so. The appellant relies strongly upon the decisions of this court in Ex parte Keizo Shibata, 35 F. (2d) 636; Wong Yow v. Weedin, 33 F.(2d) 377, wherein it was held that as a basis for deportation, if the felony was committed in the United States, it is necessary that a conviction thereof be had before a deportation order could be predicated thereon. The appellee points out that these cases have no application to the case at bar for the reason that we are here dealing with a question of entry and not of deportation and that the statutory provisions in regard thereto are entirely different. These two cases most strongly relied upon by appellant were based upon the provisions of the immigration law with reference to deportation (8 USCA § 155, section 19, 39 Stat. 889) providing for deportation of "* * * any alien who was convicted, or who admits the commission, prior to entry, of a felony or other crime or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude."
It is held in those cases that an admission of the commission of a felony, in order to constitute a ground of deportation, must be an admission of the commission of a felony "prior to entry"; that if the felony was committed in the United States the deportation must be based upon a conviction of a felony, whereas no such distinction is made in the provision of the immigration laws dealing with the entry of aliens, which reads as follows: "* * * Persons who have been convicted of or who admit having committed a felony or other crime or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude. * * *" 8 US CA, § 136, subd. e, section 3, 39 Stat. 875.
*774 It is argued that in view of the fact that the applicant changed his testimony before his original application was finally passed upon, he was not guilty of perjury although he concedes that he did swear falsely upon his application. Assuming without deciding that such is the rule where a retraction is seasonably and voluntarily made, it was too late to come under the rule. Ex parte Keizo Shibata (C. C. A.) 35 F.(2d) 636; Johnsen v. U. S. (C. C. A.) 41 F.(2d) 44.
It is not to be doubted that the commission of perjury before the immigration officials is a felony involving moral turpitude. This was expressly held by this court in Kaneda v. U. S., 278 F. 694. See also Ex parte Yoshimasa Nomura (C. C. A.) 297 F. 191. Upon the authority of these cases and under the plain terms of the statute the applicant was properly denied admission.
Order affirmed.

Following the addition of second baseman Neil Walker‘s qualifying offer, the salary projections for the 2017 New York Mets roster are starting to fill in.
There were many mixed reactions across the New York Mets fanbase following the news that Neil Walker accepted his one-year/$17.2 million qualifying offer. Many felt that the deal takes away much-needed money from the Mets payroll that could be used potentially elsewhere in improving the team.
With that said, allow the speculation to commence.
The following projections are provided by Adam Rubin of ESPN. If no salary is given, then it means that the player is not yet eligible for arbitration or has already agreed to the league minimum.
Rotation:
Bullpen:
Starters:
Bench:
Projection:
The Mets’ payroll currently stands at roughly $123,915,000. However, this does not include the money that could possibly be spent on a deal for Yoenis Cespedes or any other free agents.
New York certainly has some wiggle room when it comes to their salary space, but it all depends whether they want to spend like a big market team or would they rather not hand out any hefty deals and have a lower pay role.
In the end, it’ll all come down to the decision of ownership. | 2024-06-02T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/6720 |

Peter Sin Tae-bo was born near Yongin, Gyeonggi-do and became a Catholic around 1795. Nothing is known about his family, but his later achievements would indicate that he had some education.
Ten years after the Catholic Church was established in Korea, Peter Sin became a Catholic with his cousin John Yi Yeo-jin. They desired to meet Father James Zhou Wen-mo to receive the Sacraments, but it was not possible because Father James Zhou kept his activities secret.
When the Shinyu Persecution of 1801 was over, Peter Sin moved to Gangwon-do to live with the martyrs’ families in Yongin. They formed a Catholic community there. Then he contacted other Catholics including his cousin John and started to discuss the question of rebuilding the Church again. What seemed to them most urgent was to invite priests from Beijing. At the end of 1811 John Yi went to Beijing with another believer to deliver two letters written by Catholics.
The Korean Catholics’ movement to invite priests went on for a long time after this. Peter Sin made every possible effort to prepare the necessary expenses. However, their wish to invite priests did not come true. Peter Sin who resolved to save souls went from one place to another to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. Finally he settled down in Jatgol, Sangju, Gyeongsang-do and lived as a hermit. He transcribed the Catholic books and distributed them to the believers.
Soon after the Jeonghae Persecution broke out in 1827 in the Jeolla-do region Peter Sin heard about it. He prepared to escape with his family to a safe place, but the police who were dispatched from Jeonju and Sangju found him before he could escape.
Through the faithful who had been arrested before him, the police found out where Peter Sin lived and that he had transcribed Church books and distributed them to the believers. He was immediately taken to Jeonju, and went through severe interrogations and torture. His story was recorded in The prison journal that he wrote at the request of Father St. J. Chastan. The following text shows the severity of the punishment he endured to defend his faith and religion:
“My leg bones were all broken and covered with wounds. I could neither sit nor eat. My wounds festered so much that the smell from them was unbearable. Furthermore, my prison cell was full of worms and lice and nobody dared to come near me. Fortunately, some healthy Catholics helped me to move, and cleaned my cell sometimes. I do not know how to thank them for their fraternal love and kindness."
Despite these severe punishments Peter Sin never revealed the whereabouts of his fellow Catholics nor the place where the Catholic books were hidden. When the chief official tried to force him to betray the Catholic religion, he answered, "Without the Catholic religion we cannot correct our sensual desires."
The governor had no choice but to imprison him with other Catholics. He was forced to stay in prison in Jeonju for twelve years. He sometimes lost courage and his spirit became weak, but he overcame everything with his faith in God. After the Gihae Persecution broke out in 1839, he was taken out to the market place in Jeonju and beheaded according to the king`s order and died a martyr. It was on May 29, 1839 (April 17, by the Lunar calendar). Peter Sin was around 70 years old. | 2024-05-17T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/9219 |
Mike Riley has completed his coaching staff.
FootballScoop.com was first to report that Nebraska has hired Tulane wide receivers coach Keith Williams to coach the same position at Nebraska.
Williams spent four seasons at Tulane coaching wide receivers for the Green Wave and he helped put wide receiver Ryan Grant (Fifth Round) in the NFL. Prior to his time with the Green Wave, Williams coached for three years at Fresno State from 2009 to 2011 where his receivers finished with several all-WAC honors.
Williams started his coaching career at Solano college in 2000 before heading over to San Jose State in 2001. He spent four years with the Spartans, and receivers there entered the record books for yardage and receptions. He also coached San Jose City College from 2005-08 as the offensive coordinator and receivers coach.
In 2014, Williams also served as Tulane's out-of-state recruiting coordinator.

Millwall 2-0 Leeds United
Mark Beevers struck inside the opening 10 minutes to set Millwall on their way to a 2-0 victory over Leeds and their first opening-day win since 2010.
The Lions, without a victory to kick off their Championship season at the last three attempts, welcomed Leeds - under new boss Dave Hockaday - to The Den.
Beevers got them off to a flyer after a neat short corner routine and Shaun Williams made sure of the result from the penalty spot two minutes from time.
In the opening stages neither side looked likely to score as they started restlessly, both struggling to gain possession and cautiously testing one another.
But Millwall carved out an early breakthrough, catching Leeds' back line off guard with a short corner and allowing Beevers to put them ahead in the eighth minute.
Following a neatly-worked move, the defender stretched beyond his marker and turned Lee Martin's cross into the net past the rooted Marco Silvestri.
The goal settled any nerves the home side had and they continued to press forward, now in search of a second, with Scott McDonald at the heart of all their endeavours.
Ian Holloway's men could have doubled their lead 10 minutes later through Beevers again, but he was unable to make the most of his free header, turning it wide.
It was a half of few chances and the home fans encouraged their team to shoot whenever possible.
However, only two sides conceded more Championship goals than Millwall men last season and the majority of the Lions' support was content to see them preserve both their clean sheet and a lead into the break.
Leeds nearly drew level soon after the break when Millwall goalkeeper David Forde made a mistake rushing to the ball, which fell kindly to Nicky Ajose.
He picked out Noel Hunt in the centre of the box, who sent a low strike but Carlos Edwards was on the line to clear away to safety.
The hosts then rushed down the other end where Martyn Woolford saw his shot saved by Silvestri in a frantic opening few minutes to the second half.
Edwards was then brought down just to the right-hand edge of the Leeds area but Williams could not convert the free-kick, his tame shot easily taken by Silvestri.
Millwall looked to have a penalty on 57 minutes when Martyn Woolford was brought down but Oliver Langford waived protests away and Leeds broke but to no avail.
However, the hosts put the game beyond doubt in the closing moments of the match when substitute Lee Gregory, making his debut, was fouled in the area by Lewis Cook.
Williams stepped up stuck the resulting penalty to Silvestri's right and into the back of the net. | 2024-07-21T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/7221 |
PAK Kinase Inhibition Has Therapeutic Activity in Novel Preclinical Models of Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma.
To evaluate therapeutic activity of PAK inhibition in ATLL and to characterize the role of PAK isoforms in cell proliferation, survival, and adhesion of ATLL cells in preclinical models. Frequency and prognostic impact of PAK2 amplification were evaluated in an ATLL cohort of 370 cases. Novel long-term cultures and in vivo xenograft models were developed using primary ATLL cells from North American patients. Two PAK inhibitors were used to block PAK kinase activity pharmacologically. siRNA-based gene silencing approach was used to genetically knockdown (KD) PAK1 and PAK2 in ATLL cell lines. PAK1/2/4 are the three most abundantly expressed PAK family members in ATLL. PAK2 amplifications are seen in 24% of ATLLs and are associated with worse prognosis in a large patient cohort. The pan-PAK inhibitor PF-3758309 (PF) has strong in vitro and in vivo activity in a variety of ATLL preclinical models. These activities of PF are likely attributed to its ability to target several PAK isoforms simultaneously because genetic silencing of either PAK1 or PAK2 produced more modest effects. PAK2 plays a major role in CADM1-mediated stromal interaction, which is an important step in systemic dissemination of the disease. This finding is consistent with the observation that PAK2 amplification is more frequent in aggressive ATLLs and correlates with inferior outcome. PAK2, a gene frequently amplified in ATLL, facilitates CADM1-mediated stromal interaction and promotes survival of ATLL cells. Taken together, PAK inhibition may hold significant promise as a targeted therapy for aggressive ATLLs. | 2024-06-28T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/2203 |

The Neuroimaging Core (NIC) is the newest component of the IADC and was funded by a competitive supplement in May 2009. Several scientific themes guide the NIC: (1) Imaging as an in-vivo window to neuropathological processes and (2) as a biomarker for early detection and treatment response;(3) The integration of imaging and genetics is an important new direction with great promise for assessing candidate genes/pathways and discovery of new molecular mechanisms;(4) Translational imaging research with common methodology across clinical studies and animal models;and (5) The need for transdisciplinary collaborative teams and educational opportunities. The overarching goal is to support advanced neuroimaging technology and scientific collaboration for clinical and translational research studies within the Indiana ADC and to serve as a regional and national resource. Specific Aims: (1) Support currently funded research in the IADC, IU Center for Aging Research, and related programs that currently employs or could benefit from advanced neuroimaging;(2) Expand transdisciplinary regional neuroscience research using advanced neuroimaging tools to study disease mechanisms and treatments for neurodegeneration;(3) Support and collaborate with major national and intemationai AD-related research consortia using neuroimaging and genetics methods;(4) Provide standardized, state-of-the-art neuroimaging acquisition and analysis protocols; and (5) Provide transdisciplinary educational opportunities in neuroimaging and genetics of AD and other degenerative disorders for basic and clinical scientists at all levels, as well as dissemination to the community. The NIC will expand the scientific value of outstanding research programs on campus as well as contribute to national initiatives on dementia (e.g. ADNI, DIAN and ADGC). Examples of IADC related projects that will greatly benefit from support from the NIC include multiple family studies of hereditary dementias and related transgenic animal models developed by IADC investigators, the Indianapolis Healthy Aging Brain Center and African-American Health and Aging Cohort, several MCI related ROI projects, and other innovative programs of the Center for Aging Research. The NIC will work closely with other IADC cores to foster research employing advanced brain imaging that will create important new knowledge regarding dementia. | 2024-01-14T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/6721 |

The mixing of $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons has attracted considerable attention for quite some time. The phenomenon of the needle (the narrow $\omega$) in the haystack (the broad $\rho$ resonance) was one of the amusing consequences of this idea. This has also been invoked in the context of the observed charge symmetry violation in mirror nuclei — commonly known as Okamato-Nolen-Schiffer anomaly [@oka; @nolen]. Several authors have investigated the problem and have attempted to explain the effect by constructing the Charge Symmetry Violating (CSV) potential, taking $\rho^0-\omega$ mixing into account [@barr]. Controversies in this field have sparked off interest in alternate sources of isospin symmetry violation. In ref. [@col], $\rho-\omega$ mixing has been studied within the framework of Vector Meson Dominance where the electromagnetic mixing is considered, while the same has been investigated by Gao [*et al*]{} [@gao] using an extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. Several authors also take an isospin violating vertex factor as a source of the mixing [@gard] and others have implicated the u-d mass difference in the quark loop as a contributor to the mixing [@cohen].
However, the present treatment is somewhat different both in motivation and genesis from the earlier works, the main focus being the study of the mixing arising from the isospin symmetry breaking stemming from the nuclear medium through which the hadron propagates. Here significant mixing results, as we shall show, when the $p\leftrightarrow n$ symmetry of the nuclear matter is broken. The interaction Lagrangian involving the nucleons and the vector mesons may be written as $${\cal L}_{int} = g_{\rho} [{\bar{p}} \gamma _\mu p -
\bar n \gamma _\mu n] \rho^\mu_0 +
\sqrt{2}g_\rho[{\bar{p}}\gamma _\mu n \rho^{\mu +} + h.c ] +
g_\omega
[{\bar{n}}\gamma_\mu n +{\bar{p}}\gamma_\mu p ] \omega ^\mu$$ which is isospin conserving. It may be noted that the coupling of the isovector $\rho ^0$ with the neutron and the proton has opposite sign in contrast to what obtains for the isoscalar $\omega$. As a consequence, when we evaluate the self-energy diagrams relevant for $\rho^0 -\omega $ mixing, the neutron and proton loops contribute with opposite signs. As long as the ground state is symmetric under $p\leftrightarrow n$ interchange their contributions cancel exactly (as is the case for vacuum or for symmetric nuclear matter) as must be the case to the extent that isospin symmetry is respected not only by the Lagrangian but also by the medium. On the other hand if the ground state symmetry is broken [*i.e.*]{} number of neutron and proton in nuclear matter differ, then the corresponding Fermi momenta, $k_F^p$ and $k_F^n$, will be unequal whereby the cancellation does not take place and $\rho^0-\omega$ mixing occurs.
The form of the nucleon propagator in nuclear matter may be expressed as $$G(k) = G_F(k) + G_D(k)$$ where $$G_F(k) =
(k\!\!\!/ +M^\ast)[\frac{1}{k^2-M^{\ast2}+i\epsilon}]$$ and $$G_D(k) = (k\!\!\!/ + M^\ast) [\frac{i\pi}{E^{\ast}(k)}
\nonumber\\ \delta (k_0-E^\ast (k))\theta(k_F-|\vec k |)]$$ with $E^\ast (\vert \vec k \vert) = \sqrt {\vert \vec k \vert^2 + M^{\ast 2}}$, $M^\ast$ being the effective mass of the nucleon in nuclear matter [@se]. This density dependent shift of the nucleon mass $(M\rightarrow M^\ast)$ in nuclear matter is estimated, for the present purpose, by solving the self-consistent equation within the framework of the Walecka Model [@se; @wa]. The first term in $G(k)$, namely $G_F(k)$, is the same as the free propagator of a spin $\frac{1}{2}$ fermion, except for the fact that the effective mass of the nucleon in nuclear matter is to be used, while the second part, $G_D(k)$, involving $\theta(k_F-|\vec k|)$, arising from Pauli blocking, describes the modifications of the same in the nuclear matter at zero temperature [@se], as it deletes the on mass-shell propagation of the nucleon in nuclear matter with momenta below the Fermi momentum. Finite temperature effects may be incorporated by replacing the Heaviside $\theta$-function by the Fermi distribution, but the main features to be exposed in this letter are not modified significantly. In general, the vector-boson induced polarization of the medium, to one-loop, may be written as $$\Pi_{\mu\nu}^{lm}(q^2)=\frac{-i}{(2\pi)^4}
\int {d^4}k~{\rm Tr}[i\Gamma^l_\mu iG(k+q)
{i\Gamma^m_\nu} iG(k)]$$ where $\Gamma$ represents the $\rho(\omega)\bar N N$ vertex factor and $l,m$ are the isospin indices. Just like the nucleon propagator, the polarization function can also be expressed as a sum of two parts, $$\Pi_{\mu\nu}(q^2)= \Pi_{\mu\nu}^F(q^2) + \Pi_{\mu\nu}^D(q^2)$$ where the free (Dirac) part $\Pi^F_{\mu\nu}$ comes from the product $G^F(k+q)G^F(k)$, and the dense part $\Pi^D_{\mu\nu}$ comes from $[
G^F(k+q)G^D(k)+G^D(k+q)G^F(k)]$. The fourth combination, $G^D(k+q)G^D(k)$, does not contribute in the region of stability which concerns us here [@ch]. Formulating the suitable Dyson equations for the dressed propagators, one arrives [@ch] at the condition for finding their poles: $$\epsilon(q)=0$$ where the dielectric function $\epsilon(q)$ is the product of transverse and longitudinal dielectric functions: $$\epsilon(q)=\epsilon_L(q) \epsilon_T^2(q)$$ and individual zeros for $\epsilon_L$ or $\epsilon_T$ gives the poles for the longitudinal or the transverse modes respectively. In our notation, taking $q=(q_0,|\vec q|,0,0)$, $(\mu,\nu)=(0,1)$ pertains to the longitudinal and $(\mu,\nu)=(2,3)$ to the transverse mode.
For the unmixed case $$\epsilon _{T(L)} = (1-\frac{\Pi^{T(L)}_{vv}}{q^2-m_v^2})$$ where $v=(\rho,\omega)$ is the relevant vector meson. In the static limit ($|\vec q|
=0$), the effective mass of the vector meson is given by $$q_0^2=m_v^2+\Pi_{vv}^T=m_v^2+\Pi_{vv}^L.$$ where $\Pi^L_{vv}=-\Pi^{(v)}_{00}+\Pi^{(v)}_{11}$ and $\Pi_{vv}^T=\Pi^{(v)}_{22}=\Pi^{(v)}_{33}$.
When mixing takes place between $\rho$ and $\omega$, the polarization tensor becomes a $8\times 8$ matrix, with nonzero $\Pi^{\rho\omega}$. However, one can put it in a block diagonal form corresponding to longitudinal and transverse sectors. Because of the isotropy of nuclear matter, the transverse sector can further be split into a direct sum of two $2\times 2$ matrices, with $\Pi_{22}=\Pi_{33}$. We are interested only in the static limit; therefore, it will suffice to work with the simpler transverse part only, putting $|\vec q|=0$. In this case the dielectric function is given by the determinant of $$\pmatrix {1-{\Pi_{\rho\rho}^T\over q_0^2-m_{\rho}^2}&
{\Pi^T_{\rho\omega}\over q_0^2-m_{\rho}^2}\cr
{\Pi^T_{\omega\rho}\over q_0^2-m_{\omega}^2}&
1-{\Pi_{\omega\omega}^T\over q_0^2-m_{\omega}^2} }$$ ($\Pi_{\rho\omega}=\Pi_{\omega\rho}$), and the shifted masses are found from the zeros of $\epsilon_T$, [*i.e.*]{} from the following equation: $$(q_0^2 - m_\rho^2-\Pi^T_{\rho\rho})
(q_0^2 - m_\omega^2-\Pi^T_{\omega\omega})
-(\Pi^T_{\rho\omega}\Pi^T_{\omega\rho})=0$$ One notes that the solutions of eqn. (12) must be identical with those obtained for the longitudinal mode, since at the static limit there cannot be any preferred direction. We will omit the superscript $T$ in our future discussions, keeping in mind that at the static limit, $\Pi_{00}=0$ and $\Pi_{11}=\Pi_{22}$. In eq. (12), the left-hand side is nothing but the determinant of the matrix $q_0^2{\bf 1}-{\cal M}$, where ${\cal M}$ is the one-loop modified mass matrix $${\cal M}=\pmatrix {\Pi_{\rho\rho}+m_{\rho}^2 & \Pi_{\rho\omega}\cr
\Pi_{\omega\rho} & \Pi_{\omega\omega}+m_{\omega}^2}$$
The mixing angle $(\theta)$ between $\rho^0$ and $\omega$ fields can be obtained from $$\tan 2\theta={2\Pi_{\rho\omega}\over (m_{\omega}^2-m_{\rho}^2)
+(\Pi_{\omega\omega}-\Pi_{\rho\rho})}$$
As has already been mentioned, the polarization tensor consists of two terms, one coming from the dense part describing the polarization of the Fermi sea, while the other arises out of the nucleon-antinucleon excitation, [*i.e*]{} the effect of the Dirac Vacuum. The evaluation of $\Pi^D(q^2)$ is straightforward as there is a finite upper limit involved in the loop integral [@abhee1]. However, the free part $\Pi^F(q^2)$, needs to be regularized. We use the method of dimensional regularization and employ the following subtraction scheme [@abhee2]
$$\partial^n\Pi^F(q^2)/\partial(q^2) ^n\vert _{M^\ast\rightarrow M,
q^2=m_v^2}=0 (n=0,1,2...,\infty ).$$
It may be noted, from (1) that whereas the $\omega\bar p p$ and $\omega \bar n n$ vertex factors come with the same sign, the signs of the $\rho^0 \bar n n$ and $\rho^0 \bar p p$ vertex factors differ. This ensures the complete cancellation of $\rho-\omega$ mixing amplitudes coming from the proton and the neutron loops for symmetric nuclear matter ( as well as for vacuum). However, $\Pi^{\rho\omega}_{\mu\nu}(q^2)$ acquires a non-zero value whenever the ground state is not symmetric under $p\leftrightarrow n$ as has already been mentioned earlier. This comes solely from the loop integrals relevant for the density-dependent part, as the integrals have different upper limits, [*viz*]{}, $k_F^n$ and $k_F^p$, corresponding to neutron and proton loops, leading to a partial cancellation only.
We present our results in Figs. 1 and 2. We have taken $M_n=M_p=938$ MeV, and normal nuclear matter density $(\rho_0 = 0.17~~fm^{-3})$. The values of the coupling constants $g_\rho$ and $g_\omega$ are taken to be 2.71 and 10.1 respectively as estimated from Vector Meson Dominance (VMD) fits [@sakurai; @sh].
In Fig.(1) we observe that in symmetric matter, mixing does not take place, while with increasing asymmetry the mixing becomes appreciable. We present here the results pertaining to the role of mixing on the masses at three times the normal nuclear matter density in order to make the effect stand out in clear relief.
It may be noted that the extent of mixing, as expected, varies appreciably with asymmetry parameter $(\alpha=\frac{N_n-N_p}{N_p+N_n})$. While the mass for $\rho^0$, taking mixing into account, increases with $\alpha$, that of $\omega$ exhibits an opposite trend as is expected for the eigen values of a mass matrix. Also one should appreciate the fact that the mass splitting of $\rho-\omega$ in matter is larger by an order of magnitude compared to what is observed in vacuum. In addition an overall decrease of $\rho-\omega$ meson masses are observed. As far as the mixing is concerned, the effect of asymmetry is more pronounced for the case of $\rho^0$ than for $\omega$. No mixing, however, takes place in the symmetric limit for reasons explained in the text already as we are not including electromagnetic or other such sources of mixing in order to focus attention on the mechanism at hand. In normal nuclear density also such an effect on masses due to mixing is observed but on a lower scale. However, even at normal nuclear matter density, we find a significant value of the mixing angle $(\theta)$ which, starting from zero, increases almost linearly with asymmetry parameter $(\alpha)$ as shown in Fig. 2.
The value of the mixing amplitude here is ten times larger, even at normal nuclear matter density, than what one estimates for electro magnetic mixing[@col]. In matter, even though the mass difference of $\rho$ and $\omega$ meson (giving the energy denominator) increases by an order of magnitude the mixing amplitude is also quite large, therefore we do arrive at mixing angles comparable to those obtained from the more conventional sources.
The qualitative and dramatic manifestation of the mixing of $\rho$ and $\omega$ shows up in the two pion decay channel. The mixing results in principle to a narrow spike arising from the $\rho$ component in the mixed $\omega$ (which has a small width). In nuclear matter, however, this mode is not useful as the pions, being strongly interacting, would rescatter and lose the initial information. However, the dilepton mode or the decay channel $\pi + \gamma $ could possibly reveal the effect of mixing.
To conclude and summarize, we stress that the mixing of $\rho^0-\omega$ may also arise from the isospin asymmetric nuclear matter which is completely a matter induced effect arising from the two different upper limit involved in the density dependent part of the polarization tensor $(\Pi^D(q^2))$ [*viz.*]{} the respective Fermi momenta $k_F^p$ and $k_F^n$ in the proton and neutron loop. In the limit of complete asymmetry, and at densities available in the core of neutron stars as well as in relativistic heavy ion collision, this shift can be nearly 50 Mev for $\rho^0$ and 25-Mev for $\omega$, from their unmixed values. It may be noted that even in the absence of mixing, the mass of $\omega$ and $\rho^0$ gets shifted in the medium. The mixing amplitude is an order of magnitude larger than that for electromagnetic mixing, even at normal nuclear matter density, which makes the phenomenon interesting and worth investigating.

FX Indices Review for 15/04/12
Monthly: Trend ranging upwards. The monthly candle is currently printing a bearish ‘inside’ candle. The monthly 200 EMA is above current price, at around the 84 level, and might help to keep a lid on this!
Weekly: Trend up overall. The weekly support trend line is still supporting price. The weekly candle closed as a bearish candle though. The current chart also looks to have formed a bearish ‘double top’. You can see from the weekly chart just how choppy the last 6 weeks now have been. I noted during the week that there was also a bearish ‘Dark Cloud Cover’ pattern forming. The bearish close this week has now confirmed this pattern.
Daily: Trend up. Price rallied for all of February but chopped sideways and up for all of March. Price has chopped downwards now for much of the last 2 weeks. A daily support trend line has been in place for all of March and has now been broken.
Daily Ichimoku Cloud chart: Price is still trading above the daily Cloud but is below the Tenkan-sen line and the Kijun-sen lines. That isn’t looking too healthy. Price is also getting down close to the Cloud.
4hr: Trend choppy. Price chopped downwards for most of the week. Price rallied back above the 82.59 level briefly at the start of the week but, then, fell back down through this and traded below this key level for the rest of the week. The 82.59 level represents the 61.8% fib retrace level from the last major swing high back in mid 2010 and is still proving to be very significant.
4hr Ichimoku Cloud chart: Price has chopped below the 4hr Cloud for much of the week. This is divergent from the daily chart and suggests further choppy action.
EURX
Monthly: Trend down overall but 6 of the last 8 months were bullish. The current print of the monthly candle is a still a bullish engulfing candle.
Weekly: Trend up. Price had earlier failed to move above the monthly 200 EMA. This had been major resistance so it was no surprise that price had paused under this level. Price action had been quite parabolic for ‘risk on’ until recently and subsequently pulled back to the mean of the support trend line; something that is not out of order as part of any continued longer term bullish price action. This pullback has actually played out in text-book fashion! Price bounced up and off the major support trend line last week and continued to rally this week. Thus, the ‘retracement to the mean’ period might have come to an end. The weekly candle closed as a bullish candle. The current weekly chart print seems to have evolved as a ‘bull flag’ pattern. Price has now broken up and out from this flag pattern suggesting that perhaps the retracement period might be over and that the bullish movement might continue. Price is currently sitting above this breakout level but under the 108.5 S/R level. The significance of this 108.5 level can be seen if you cast your eyes across the weekly chart.
Daily: Trend ranging/downwards. Price seems to have been consolidating under the monthly 200 EMA for February and March, and now into April, in a descending flag pattern. These are bullish patterns and give this index a ‘bull flag’ appearance. Price has now broken up and out of this flag pattern though but is sitting under another S/R level in the 108.5 level.
Daily Ichimoku Cloud chart: Price broke out and up from the Cloud on Thursday. Price pulled back a bit on Friday though and is now back to sitting in the upper edge of the Cloud.
4 hr: Trend ranging / up. Price rallied to start the week but then stalled at the 108.5 level towards the end of the week. The chart is looking a bit ‘Bull Flag’ like.
4hr Ichimoku Cloud chart: Price traded above the Cloud all week. This is divergent from the daily chart and suggests further choppy action.
Thoughts:
Choppy markets + Ichimoku: The Ichimoku charts are back to being divergent and this suggests some further choppiness ahead. I do suspect this extended period of choppiness is connected to the current market top action that is being seen across many global stock markets. Stocks and currencies seem to be at a major junction and are experiencing choppy action ahead of the next major new momentum move. To me, this feels like the thunder building before a major storm. I just don’t know whether the storm will be ‘risk on’ or ‘risk off’. I mentioned mid week that the saying is that ‘the best trends come out of choppy markets’. If that is the case then I expect some fantastic trends when they do re-emerge. I have no idea what that directional move will be but, when it appears, I will trade it.
Whilst it might sound like an oxymoron, the consistent pattern with Ichimoku divergence continues. That is; choppy 4hr chart trading with better trend trades found off 30 min charts during the US session. I would expect this pattern to continue until such time as the Ichimoku charts align again.
The EURX as ‘risk’ barometer: The EURX has been a proxy measure for the mood for ‘risk appetite’ over recent months. The EURX has now pulled back down and tested the support of the major monthly trend line. Price has now bounced off this major support level and rallied for the last two weeks. This is no guarantee that this trend will continue though. The next major hurdle for the EURX is the 108.5 level. However, a break and close above this 108.5 level would suggest that there might be some follow through with this bullish reversal and a swing back towards ‘risk on’. This will be a key level to watch in the coming week. I don’t make predictions as I’m a trend follower BUT if the EURX can break up above the 108.5 level I think this will spark a significant ‘risk on’ movement. I don’t see valid fundamental reasons for such a move but then, as the saying goes, ‘trade what you see and not what you think’.
Divergence: I am still bothered by the divergence between the currency (FX) markets and the broader stock markets. These generally trade in tandem, more often than not. I do suspect that they will converge again soon though and I’ll be keen to see which path they follow.
Note: As always, Fundamentals, by way of Euro zone dramas and news announcements, continue to be triggers for price movement on the indices. These events can always have the potential to undermine all Technical analysis. | 2024-07-21T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/3693 |
Q:
Javascript echo via PHP
echo "<br><font face='Segoe UI' color='blue'><a href='#' onClick='javascript:alert(".$nam.");return false;'>".$nam."</a></font>";
I'd like to know if there's any syntax error in the above code. I don't think alert() is being called.
Thanks!
A:
Let us say you have
$nam = 'test';
... your code
This prints out:
'javascript:alert(test); return false;'
That is, it is trying to print out a javascript variable e.g. "test" that was never initialized.
You need to have:
'javascript:alert(\"".$nam."\"); return false;'
Now several recommendations:
Get a good Javascript debugger such as Firefox's Web Developer toolbar or firebug. You could see the issue immediately.
Don't use the 'javascript:' decleration. It is deprecated and unnecessary.
Use onclick, not onClick.
The font tag is deprecated as are the face and color attributes.
Close your tags (<br /> vs <br>).
Don't infuse javascript, php, and html. I highly recommend you use a template.
If you are using weak quotes (", not ') php will interpolate variables within the quotes. You don't have to concatenate. These are equivalent:
echo "javascript:alert('".$nam."');";
echo "javascript:alert('$nam');";

DNMT1-microRNA126 epigenetic circuit contributes to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma growth via ADAM9-EGFR-AKT signaling.
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are involved in and are controlled by epigenetic regulation, and thereby form a reciprocal regulatory circuit. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based miRNA profiling, this study aimed to discover esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)-specific miRNAs and miRNA-related epigenetic modulations. NGS-based miRNA profiles were generated for four pairs of ESCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues. In situ hybridization was used to assess miRNA expression and its correlation with prognosis. miRNA-related DNA methylations were identified using bisulfite genomic sequencing, and the role of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) was investigated using RNA interference. miRNA targets were screened by mRNA sequencing, and functional validation was performed in vitro and in vivo. NGS-based miRNA profiling identified 78 differentially expressed miRNAs in ESCC. Among them, microRNA126-3p (miR-126) was significantly downregulated, and its downregulation correlated with poor ESCC prognosis. Downregulation of miR-126 was due to promoter hypermethylation of its host gene, Egfl7. DNMT1 was aberrantly upregulated in ESCC and responsible for the hypermethylation of Egfl7. Intriguingly, DNMT1 was suppressed by overexpression of miR-126, indicating the existence of a regulatory feedback circuit. ADAM9 was identified as a key target of miR-126. Ectopic expression of miR-126 or silencing of ADAM9 reduced ESCC cell proliferation and migration by inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor-AKT signaling. Our results indicate that miR-126 is a potential prognostic indicator for ESCC and suggest that a novel "DNMT1-miR-126 epigenetic circuit" is involved in ESCC progression. Consequently, miR-126-based epigenetic modulations may provide a basic rationale for new approaches to antitumor therapeutics. | 2024-06-30T01:27:17.568517 | https://example.com/article/2772 |
Q:
Work flow for creating and returning PDF in MVC
I'm using microsoft's MVC platform to create a web application. In this application, users will fill out a HTML form, click submit, get redirected to a successful message page and receive a printout in pdf form of the form. In addition, I also want to save their entries in the form in a database. I'm using iTextSharp to create and edit the PDF.
I'm looking for advice on managing the workflow in MVC. Specifically, I have a controller method that would direct the workflow for :
saving the form entries to a database,
creating and editing the PDF,
directing the user to a success page,
returning the PDF for the user to download.
My major question is: how should I delegate the tasks of redirecting to the success page and returning the pdf? As of right now, my controller seems to be able to return only one or the other. Can I redirect to a View that "comes with" a PDF?
A:
What I do in a case like this is create a controller action that returns the PDF associated with a given entry id in the database.
public FileResult DownloadPdf(int id)
{
byte[] data;
// ... Generate PDF
return File(data, "application/pdf");
}
Then the controller action which handles the form POST does the following:
Saving the entry values to the database.
Retrieving the primary key of the saved form entry set.
Redirecting to the success view and passing the primary key to it.
Then the success view can use the id it has been given to either link to the PDF (as a download link) or can embed it in an iframe (yuck!).
Note that this only works because you are saving the values in a database. If don't use a database, you have to either:
Encode all the form data in the query string (which has a limited size)
Store the form data in the Session (which is not recommended)
Hope that helps.
