It is vigorously working with its full zeal and spirit, truly serving and sacred cause of education altogether. The University of Peshawar, being a mother Institution of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not only catering for the academic needs of Peshawar but also of the whole province and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). The highly qualified and trained faculty, student friendly and supportive administration, modern curricula, conductive academic environment and excellent infrastructure are the hallmarks of the University. In order to support the administrative structure and boost research and career-based activities in the University, Higher Education Commission (HEC) launched a project “Strengthening of University of Peshawar”. In that project, one of the components was the establishment and operationalization of Career Development Center (CDC) Office. The task of establishing and operationalization of CDC was initiated by the CDC team in May-2018 and completed August-2019 by CDC team. UoP CDC is now facilitating all its stakeholders including UoP students, UoP Alumni and the Employers. ===— CDC Mission The mission of CDC is to be a gateway to career services in University of Peshawar by providing students with a strong foundation for career development. CDC aim to help students successfully identify and pursue their academic interests and achieve their career aspirations. UoP CDC felt the need of bringing the UoP Alumni scattered round the globe on one single platform and for that University of Peshawar Alumni Association (UOPAA) was formed for the first time in the history of the University. UoPAA is operational now and has established its interim cabinet with below members on 14 Dec 2018: Khurshid Qasim Marwat (Director CDC) - Director UoPAA Amjad Arbab - President Rakhshanda Naz - Vice President Ali Gohar - General Secretary Gul Hameed Khalil - Finance Secretary Sajjad Durrani - Press Secretary Kazim Shuaib - Protocol & Liaison Secretary Research centers Area Study Centre A department or an institution to impart knowledge on the land and people of Central Asia was one of the aims of the University of Peshawar, but lack of funds marred its realization for some time. The Education Policy of 1972 made provision for the "Area Study Centre" and the University of Peshawar gave its choice for Central Asia. An Area Study thereafter was established in each University of Pakistan under ACT XVL 1975 of Parliament. The Government of Pakistan, through the University Grants Commission and the Ministry of Education, released funds for the establishment of the centre at the University of Peshawar. A sum of Rs. 28, 15,000/- was remitted to the University of Peshawar out of which it established a double storied building on the Campus of the University, housing both the Area Study Centre and Pakistan Study Centre. The Building is situated on road No. 1 of the University at the back of Law College. The centre has been functioning since April 1978 as a unit academically attached to the University of Peshawar and financially linked to The University Grants Commission. A board of governors and academics committee, both statutory bodies under the act, control its administrative and academic performances. The centre, with grant from the University Grants Commission, is gradually equipping itself in teaching and research facilities and is assuming a shape befitting it. It has been publishing a six-monthly journal (Central Asia) since winter 1978 and enrolls 10 to 15 students each year in its M.Phil. and Pd.D. courses. Centre of Biotechnology and Microbiology Institute of Education and Research National Center of Excellence in Geology The National Center of Excellence in Geology (NCEG), University of Peshawar (UoP), is an institution of higher learning and research in Geo-sciences. It was established in 1974 under an act of the parliament. Dr. R.A. Khan Tahirkheli was the founder Director of the center. Upon his retirement, Dr. M. Qasim Jan succeeded him in 1988 who was succeeded by Prof. Dr. Syed Hamidullah in January 2001, Dr. M. Asif Khan in 2002 and again by Dr. Syed Hamidullah in 2003. After, the death of S. Hamidullah, in an air crash, now Dr. M. Asif Khan is the director of the center. National Center of Excellence in Physical Chemistry The National Center of Excellence in Physical Chemistry was established in July 1978 under an Act of parliament as an autonomous body to be administered by Federal Ministry of Education through University Grants Commission (now Higher Education Commission) The management of the centre is supervised by a Board of Governors composed of eminent Scientists and representatives of Chairman. The centre is entrusted with the main task of establishing research facilities in Physical Chemistry leading to M.Phil and Ph.D degrees. A significant number of M.Phil and Ph.D's have qualified from this institution. The total number of Ph.D produced until year 2010 are 67 while 154 M.Phil scholars have passed out. 597 research papers have been published in journals of both national and international repute since inception. At the moment 47 Ph.D and 79 M.Phil students are enrolled. Other regular activities of the centre include in-Service training programmes, symposia, seminars refresher courses for college teachers and so on. Collaboration in research and academic activities with a number of organizations has been developed, e.g. Nuclear Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA), Institute of Chemistry (University of Peshawar), PINSTECH, Islamabad, Agriculture University (Peshawar), Engineering University ( Peshawar), Islamia College University ( Peshawar ), PCSIR Laboratories ( Peshawar) etc. Pakistan Study Centre Pakistan Study Centre, University of Peshawar was established under the Federal Act No.XXVII of 1976 like similar study centres in the other universities of Pakistan. The centre started functioning in February 1979. The first three years 1976-78 were spent on providing a building to the centre. As envisaged in the act academically it is part and parcel of the University of Peshawar, controlled and supervised by a Board of Governors, with the Vice-Chancellor as its Chairman. However, its funds both developmental and recurring are provided by the Federal Government, through the Higher Education Commission which exercises control over its finances. The day-to-day administration of the centre is the direct responsibility of the Director. Pashto Academy The Pashto language Academy was set up in 1955 with Maulana Abdul Qadir, a well-known scholar of Pashto Language, as its Director. The Academy has done tremendous service towards promotion of the Pashto Language and literature. It is not merely a publication body, it is an institute of research as well as the learned body for the development of Pashto Language and literature. The study of the Pashtoon Culture, history, art and literature, both classic and modern, is also a major function of this Academy. Before the establishment of the Academy, there were no worthwhile standard literary works and the language was almost unfamiliar to modern world. During the course of time, the Academy has produced about 537 publications consisting of classics, modern literature, criticism; scientific studies, translation, Pashto lexicon, research publications, booklets in basic Pashto and the Pashto Journal. The Academy has a specialized research library consisting of printed books, rare books, rare manuscripts, microfilms, audiovisual cassettes, tapes and photographs of scholars and poets. A Research Cell for broad-based work on the life and works of the warrior poet Khushal Khan Khattak has recently also been set up by the Government of Pakistan in the Pashto Academy. After the death of Maulana Abdul Qadir, the scholars who headed the Academy included Mian Syed Rasool Rasa, Azim Shah Khyal Bokhari and Prof. Mohammad Nawaz Tair who made immense contribution towards the promotion of the Pashto language and literature. Prof. Dr. Raj Wali Shah Khattak who has given new life to the Academy by his hard-work day and night and Prof. Dr. Salma Shaheen, who is currently the Director of the Academy.

Braddock Peak Braddock Peak is a mountain summit in the Never Summer Mountains range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The peak is located in State Forest State Park, south-southwest (bearing 201°) of Cameron Pass in Jackson County, Colorado, United States. Mountain Braddock Peak lies east-northeast of Seven Utes Mountain, west of Snow Lake, and north of the boundary of Routt National Forest and the Never Summer Wilderness. It is named for Dr. William A. Braddock (1929–2003), Professor of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado at Boulder from 1958 to 1994. Dr. Braddock and his students geologically mapped over of the northern Front Range, including the summit named for him. He was the principal author of The Geologic Map of Rocky Mountain National Park. Following his retirement, Dr. Braddock taught the lay public about the geology in and around Rocky Mountain National Park. Descriptions of hiking routes in this area that predate adoption of the Braddock Peak name refer to this summit as Point 11,960.

In its complaint, the FTC alleges that Steven and Kevin (Kaveh) Shayan have advertised on their WeTakeSection8.com website housing that purportedly accepts Section 8 vouchers for low-income families, elderly, and disabled persons. The defendants have claimed that the website has accurate, up-to-date, and available listings that are approved for Section 8 housing vouchers. The FTC alleges that these claims are false or unsubstantiated, and that most of the listed properties either are not available or do not accept Section 8 housing vouchers. “Today’s housing market is historically tight, and affordable rentals are harder to find than ever. Section 8 voucher recipients have it even harder: they have fewer rentals from which to choose and their vouchers expire if not used within a specified period of time,” said Andrew Smith, the FTC’s Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection. “In this case, we allege that defendants misled consumers—including Section 8 voucher recipients—into purchasing subscriptions to worthless lists of stale apartment listings, and the consumers then wasted their valuable time shopping for rentals that were not in fact available.” According to the FTC, the defendants violated the FTC Act by falsely claiming that consumers can access hundreds of thousands of accurate, up-to-date, and available listings on the defendants’ websites, which also include ApartmentHunterz.com and FeaturedRentals.com. They also have misrepresented that consumers will find housing quickly and that the defendants have exclusive rights to list rental properties that consumers cannot find on free websites. Consumers typically have paid $49 for two months of access to contact information for property managers of rental listings, and $14.99 for a weekly subscription. In addition to Steven and Kevin Shayan, the FTC’s complaint names the following companies as defendants: Apartment Hunters, Inc., also doing business as WeTakeSection8.com, ApartmentHunterz.com, and FeaturedRentals.com; Real Estate Data Solutions, Inc.; Rental Home Listings Inc.; and UAB Apartment Hunters LT. The California Department of Real Estate revoked defendant Apartment Hunters, Inc.’s business license in 2015, but it has continued to operate without a license. The Commission vote approving the complaint was 5-0. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California issued the temporary restraining order on September 13, 2018. NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the law has been or is being violated and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The case will be decided by the court.	2023-08-27T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/3722
Q: Multiple queries modifying same row I am creating a game in which a player can challenge a random player stored in a database. This is how I am doing this: (MySQL database) When a user searches for a random user, if there are no users waiting, I set the user's 'waiting' attribute to 1. If there is already a user waiting for a challenge ('waiting' already set to 1), I match them together and set their 'waiting' attributes to 0. (Basically, I query the database table for any users with their 'waiting' attribute set to 1.) I suppose my first question would be, is this a good idea to do? My concern is with the synchronization. If two users were to query for a waiting player at the same time, then the waiting user would be challenged twice. Although the time frame between the select query and the update query is very small, this is technically possible, right? Is there a way to avoid this? Or is it something that I shouldn't worry about? A: If you update the "waiting" flag at the same time that you find two players you want to match, any other queries will see that update. (This should probably be done in a stored procedure to reduce the time between the queries where you're searching for a waiting player, and then updating their status.) If two queries try and alter the same row at exactly same time, one of them will fail as the row should be locked for the update. I'm not sure of MySQL will generate a deadlock exception or not. Make sure you've got good exception handling in your client app. If you get an exception from this operation indicating that the update failed, try again. You may want to generate a test that will intentionally cause the condition you're worried about and verify that your fix works as expected. The only way I would expect this to happen is if you're using parameterized queries and have to execute separate queries to find the match and then update the "waiting" flags. Use a stored proc, do it all at once on the server, and enjoy increased stability and tranquility.	2024-02-10T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/1338

As feature size decreases and transistor density increases, the heat flux of integrated circuits increases and thermal management becomes more difficult. Integrated circuits or ‘chips’ generally do not have uniform distribution of circuitry and certain regions of the chip tend to generate more heat than others. These ‘hot spots’ or regions of higher heat typically have the highest temperatures. Thermal management strives to maintain the temperature of the chip below a certain threshold to minimize the likelihood of failure or degraded performance. The hot spots require a higher level of thermal management to maintain the chip at or below the threshold. Most thermal management solutions remove heat from the entire chip. Heat spreaders typically distribute the heat from the hot spots to a cooling device. Cooling devices often consist of passive air-cooled heat sinks. Fans may add convective cooling. Active cooling devices such as thermoelectric coolers based upon the Peltier effect may also provide cooling to integrated circuits. Active, chip-scale cooling devices have inherent inefficiencies as they unnecessarily remove heat from areas of the chip having lower heat flux density in addition to the hot spots. In addition, inefficiencies in the active coolers generate additional heat load that the heat sink must remove. An approach that can selectively cool the hot spots would have an advantage over the full-chip cooling solutions. One possibility includes arrays of individually addressable thermoelectric coolers, but these would increase the costs dramatically.	2024-02-22T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/5008
Oregon Route 234 Oregon Route 234 is an Oregon state highway which runs between the city of Gold Hill, Oregon and the town of Eagle Point.

// Module included in the following assemblies: // // * authentication/identity_providers/configuring-ldap-identity-provider.adoc [id="identity-provider-about-ldap_{context}"] = About LDAP authentication During authentication, the LDAP directory is searched for an entry that matches the provided user name. If a single unique match is found, a simple bind is attempted using the distinguished name (DN) of the entry plus the provided password. These are the steps taken: . Generate a search filter by combining the attribute and filter in the configured `url` with the user-provided user name. . Search the directory using the generated filter. If the search does not return exactly one entry, deny access. . Attempt to bind to the LDAP server using the DN of the entry retrieved from the search, and the user-provided password. . If the bind is unsuccessful, deny access. . If the bind is successful, build an identity using the configured attributes as the identity, email address, display name, and preferred user name. The configured `url` is an RFC 2255 URL, which specifies the LDAP host and search parameters to use. The syntax of the URL is: ---- ldap://host:port/basedn?attribute?scope?filter ---- For this URL: [cols="2a,8a",options="header"] \|=== \|URL component \| Description .^\|`ldap` \| For regular LDAP, use the string `ldap`. For secure LDAP (LDAPS), use `ldaps` instead. .^\|`host:port` \| The name and port of the LDAP server. Defaults to `localhost:389` for ldap and `localhost:636` for LDAPS. .^\|`basedn` \| The DN of the branch of the directory where all searches should start from. At the very least, this must be the top of your directory tree, but it could also specify a subtree in the directory. .^\|`attribute` \| The attribute to search for. Although RFC 2255 allows a comma-separated list of attributes, only the first attribute will be used, no matter how many are provided. If no attributes are provided, the default is to use `uid`. It is recommended to choose an attribute that will be unique across all entries in the subtree you will be using. .^\|`scope` \| The scope of the search. Can be either `one` or `sub`. If the scope is not provided, the default is to use a scope of `sub`. .^\|`filter` \| A valid LDAP search filter. If not provided, defaults to `(objectClass=*)` \|=== When doing searches, the attribute, filter, and provided user name are combined to create a search filter that looks like: ---- (&(<filter>)(<attribute>=<username>)) ---- For example, consider a URL of: ---- ldap://ldap.example.com/o=Acme?cn?sub?(enabled=true) ---- When a client attempts to connect using a user name of `bob`, the resulting search filter will be `(&(enabled=true)(cn=bob))`. If the LDAP directory requires authentication to search, specify a `bindDN` and `bindPassword` to use to perform the entry search.	2024-04-25T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/7817
General Mills' Cheerios mascot. Cheerios Packaged foods conglomerate General Mills has created a new privacy policy that, if deemed legal by the U.S. courts, would make it virtually impossible for consumers to sue the company, regardless of whether its actions violate state or federal laws. As first reported by the New York Times, General Mills has placed a banner at the top of its website announcing changes to its legal terms that will require all consumer complaints to be settled either through an informal e-mail back-and-forth or through individual arbitration. You can see General Mills' privacy policy, which controls consumer visits to its web sites and Facebook pages, here; and that policy is controlled by General Mills' legal terms, which require arbitration, here. What's particularly outrageous about the updated policy is General Mills' assertion that consumers agree to the terms by doing things as simple as visiting one of its websites, liking one of its brands on Facebook, or buying one of its products. While consumers are allowed to opt out of the new terms, the policy specifies that consumers opt back in the moment they buy a General Mills product (which includes brands like Cheerios, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury and others), or visit one of its websites or social media pages. Binding arbitration is a method of resolution whereby two parties agree to settle any dispute they may have before an independent arbitrator rather than the U.S. legal system. Corporations prefer the arbitration venue because documents related to the case are not made public and because it is generally less expensive than going to court. Arbitration also allows them to deal with consumer complaints one at a time, rather than in a class action that could force them to make a huge payout to a large number of people. General Mills has in recent years fought a number of these class actions, paying more than $8 million to settle a suit that accused it of making false claims about the health benefits of its Yoplait Yo-Plus yogurt, and agreeing to take pictures of strawberries off the labels of its Strawberry Fruit Roll-Ups after consumers claimed the fruit was not actually an ingredient. "While it rarely happens, arbitration is an efficient way to resolve disputes — and many companies take a similar approach," General Mill told the New York Times in a statement. "We even cover the cost of arbitration in most cases. So this is just a policy update, and we’ve tried to communicate it in a clear and visible way." Clicking one of these links could be grounds for forfeiting your right to sue General Mills. Facebook Though corporations do pay the arbitrator's fees, plaintiffs are still left to pay for their own legal counsel. In addition, consumers are able to win much less money in arbitration because the venue does not subject corporations to paying out punitive damages, the costly monetary penalties included in state and federal consumer protection laws to deter companies from violating them. As a result, consumer advocacy groups claim that arbitration agreements can make bringing claims against companies too expensive for people who can't afford to pay lawyers without pooling money with other aggrieved parties in a class action suit. While General Mills' terms of agreement are particularly wide-ranging, the Supreme Court has in recent years been sympathetic to companies who have sought to avoid class actions through individual arbitration agreements. In 2011, it ruled in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion that companies could avoid class action suits through a standard-form contract requiring disputes to be settled via one-on-one arbitration. The Supreme Court then solidified that ruling in 2013, when it determined in American Express v. Italian Colors Restaurant that an arbitration agreement was valid even if the terms of the agreement made pursuing a claim through one-on-one arbitration prohibitively expensive. With General Mills seeking to carve out additional protections for corporations, you can bet plaintiffs' attorneys will be launching a legal challenge to its policy in the very near future. "It’s essentially trying to protect the company from all accountability, even when it lies, or say, an employee deliberately adds broken glass to a product," Julia Duncan, an arbitration expert at the plaintiff trial lawyers' group American Association for Justice, told the Times.	2023-12-13T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/3568
great international rows David Cameron, You Have Been Cavorting Far Too Much With Barack Obama The Almighty King of England, David Cameron, recently spent a lovely American spring afternoon with Barack Obama inside a sweaty gymnasium watching college athletes play basketball. They then had a lovely American spring evening at a White House state dinner, at which David Cameron saluted the American liberal president. We all know how creepy Cameron is for Obama. He is 1,000 Royal Navy battleships’ worth of creepy for him. But now Mitt Romney wants some of that action, and he will be a sourpuss until he gets it, tut tut. Mitt Romney recently announced that he had invited himself to the opening night of the London Olympics this summer, just in case it needs some of that last-minute Romney saving that he so specializes in. But he wouldn’t say whether he’d meet with King David Cameron. It seems this John Bull has just been too lovey-dovey with the Kenyan, recently — that their special relationship threatens to disrupt the Special Relationship, as Republican logic would have it: Referring to Cameron’s highly flattering toast to Obama during a banquet given in the prime minister’s honour when he visited Washington in March, a senior aide said: “You don’t take sides in an election year”. The aide, who requested anonymity, said Romney and his wife, Ann, would attend the “first day of activities” of the 2012 Games, which open in July. Romney would do “one or two other things” while in London. A meeting with Cameron was not ruled out, but that was “up in the air”, the aide said. Doubts about a possible Downing Street meeting appear to stem in part from surprise and dismay felt in the Romney camp about what it saw as Cameron’s obsequious behaviour at the banquet on 14 March. Cameron’s performance smacked of a “lack of experience” and was seen as “not very skilful”, the aide said. Romney advisers responsible for European policy were said to have been so alarmed that their initial reaction was to complain Cameron had “infringed” the special relationship between the US and Britain. Time to call in the 7th-grade teacher with recess duty today to resolve this. Jim Newell is Wonkette's beloved Capitol Hill Typing Demon. He joined Wonkette.com in 2007, left for some other dumb job in 2010, and proudly returned in 2012 as our "Senior Editor at Large." He lives in Washington and also writes for things such as The Guardian, the Manchester paper of liberals. I know that in my own personal life, the best way to maintain special relationships is to avoid flattering, praising, and otherwise acknowledging the other party in any way. That's why I have so much experience in so very, very many special relationships. bumfug Romney's guys are right, the last thing anyone should do during an election year is take sides. Wait, what? iburl Because "election year" in the USA is election year all around the world. Apparently acknowledging their differing political outlook, Cameron went on: "You don't get to choose the leaders that you have to work with. But all I can say is that it is a pleasure to work with someone with moral strength, with clear reason and with fundamental decency in this task of renewing our great national alliance for today and for the generations to follow." Yeah, how dare Cameron say such a thing! Time to call the Special Relationship off!! We have always been at war with the Brits!!! JFC… CthuNHu "You don't get to choose the leaders that you have to work with. But all I can say is that it is a pleasure to work with someone with moral strength, with clear reason and with fundamental decency — (not like that reeking sack of badger vomit Blair had to act all fluttery-eyed over)." And just so there is no mistake here, THERE IS NOT A SOUL IN THE BRIT GOVERNMENT THAT THINKS YOU EVER WILL BE. Got it? nounverb911 Maybe Mitt should meet with Prince Charles, he'll be the Queen soon. rickmaci The WingTard values noise makers would be very upset if they heard that Mittenz was meeting with a Queen. CthuNHu And Mittens would be very upset to learn that he can't placate them by firing Prince Charles. MissTaken Ugh, you know Romney is going to spend the whole time saying crap like "When I saved Olympics" and "Do you remember during the Salt Lake games, the ones I saved incidentally…?" and "My wife like dressage, maybe she can compete on one of those horseys, too". SorosBot What the fuck is dressage, anyway? All I've gathered is that it involves horses, and that it's one of those rich people hobbies that us peons have never heard of. Fare la Volpe Do you really want to know what rich people do with their horses when they're alone? Really? Didn't think so. SorosBot So are you implying that Ann Romney has cuckolded Mitt with a stallion? That would be the first interesting thing about her at least. That motherfucker will absolutely NEVER shut up about the motherfuckin Olympics. Drove us up the wall here in MA. Biff Maybe they can train a dressage unicorn for mittens, too? Doktor StrangeZoom One does not show respect to a head of state if that head of state is up for election, especially if that head of state is Near, and might be replaced by one of his betters. You'd think an English Gentleman would understand these things. SockBunny All this implying how Cameron should act is going to get Mitt & Ann front row center at the archery play-offs. rickmaci Javelin catcher. elviouslyqueer I'm sorry, but did I miss the part when it was okay for an unelected candidate who hasn't even made it through his party's nominating convention to school another country's Prime Minister on his behavior toward a sitting President? Wow, talk about unmitigated gall. Mittens, you think YOU'RE pissed? Rupert Murdoch does NOT like to share; that sweet Cameron ass is his, all his. chicken_thief Shorter Mitt: Wah. My pussy hurts! Boojum Guys, this is an Onion article. Here's the proof: "Criticism from Romney's camp is unusual. It prides itself on being extremely disciplined, careful in its dealings with the press, and averse to controversy." SHAKE THAT ETCH-A-SKETCH!!!! Steverino247 Mitt Romney thinks he's in the Special Olympics of Relationships. This explains why he's crying about not getting a medal. ElPinche Apparently, Romney hasn't met Barry. Everybody who meets Barack gets a little moist, and becomes an Obamabot. So that's the key, DNC: Gucci Moroni has to meet Barry, then the election will be down hill from there. The only "special relationship" Cameron is worried about is the one he has with the British electorate. As head of the British government, it his his sworn duty to represent his nation's penis envy of the United States. prommie I would never have known of this vile breach of the special relationship (Does Israel know we are cheating on it?) if not for Romney's advisors making this row. OneYieldRegular I must say, the Romney campaign is doing a spectacular job of starting to develop strong and respectful relations with the strongest allies of the U.S. fuflans not to mention china which is really not helpful. Generation[redacted] "I wanted to meet David Cameron to tell him how much I loved Titanic." –Romney foreign policy advisor. I love how Mitt is constantly surprised by the fact that not everyone is waiting in line clamoring for the opportunity to give him head. Golly, Mittzy, aren't world leaders who won't kiss your presumptuous ass just the worst? widestanceromance Damn, Willard, even Ron Paul has his own room at 10 Downing Street. Maybe you could offer to take the Queen's low-wind-resistant Corgies for a ride in one of your homes next time she crosses the pond. Terry "Cameron’s performance smacked of a “lack of experience” and was seen as “not very skilful”, the aide said." Certainly, Romney's camp knows lots about both those subjects. Generation[redacted] And when President Romney's foreign policy fails in spectacular fashion, he can blame the "lack of experience" of all the other world leaders who are "not very skillful" fuflans damn romney is just looking worse and worse. all the crap he's supposed to do well – all those Important Business Management Skills – seem to completely elude him. mr. fuflans has been saying for months now that mitt's an untalented and uninspiring scion of political power whose success is vastly over-rated and likely not of his own making. i've been saying he MUST have some business talents – if nothing else. once again, mr. fuflans is probably right. fuflans oh and here's a thing, mr. special relationship: the current republican party and your stated positions make the BNP look left wing. PresqueVu Time to call in the 7th-grade teacher with recess duty today to resolve this Ha! 7th grade teachers only wish they could have recess duty like their elementary school counterparts. They're lucky to find a school where recess is still held, much less embraced by academics-driven admin or sedentary-inclined, recreationally-challenged 21st-century children. Referring to Cameron’s highly flattering toast to Obama during a banquet given in the prime minister’s honour when he visited Washington in March, a senior aide said: “You don’t take sides in an election year”. Someone must have "forgot" about this election and the last one in which a certain party loves to go to Israel and talk badly about the United States in front of Israel's legislature. bagofmice Tell mister Romney that when he is no longer unemployed, we can talk. Negropolis You know, this is really funny, because the commentary across the pond is that Obama doesn't like Cameron much…commentary I hope is true. These two aren't that ideologically similar. Obama was not afraid of stimulus; Cameron sent his nation's economy back into a recession because of "austerity." This is not even to mention the Conservative Party is trying to sneak in the increasing privatization of health services. I get so tired of hearing the bullshit "if (insert name of conservative, European politician here) wasan American, he'd be a Democrat" because the conservatives, over there, have been forced mightly to cede certain social issues. Negropolis Forget the Camerons. He should just bypass politics, altogether and go straight to the top. The Royal Family is more his speed, anyway. I can hear the awkward, monied conservasations (are there any other kind with them?) between Mitt and Charles, as I type…	2024-04-14T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/4137
Q: PostgreSQL reverse LIKE with patterns in json array This question is related to PostgreSQL Reverse LIKE I have a table a containing a json column a.matchers. a.matchers is an array of objects each of which has property pattern Given an inputString I would like to get all rows where at least one of the matchers[].pattern's would match inputString LIKE '%{pattern}%' So basically (as pseudoquery): SELECT * FROM a WHERE 'inputStringABC' LIKE ANY('%' \|\| json_array_elements(a.matchers)->>'pattern' \|\| '%') Is this possible? p.s.: PostgreSQL version being 9.6.3 edit: more extensive status quo description: Table a: Column \| Type \| Modifiers \| Storage \| Stats target \| Description ------------------------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+----------+--------------+------------- uuid \| uuid \| not null default uuid_generate_v4() \| plain \| \| matchers \| json \| \| extended \| \| JSON structure in column matchers: [ { pattern: string; } ] Example use case: I have a string "Some trees look nicer than others" and following rows in table a: uuid: "123...", matchers: [{ pattern: "trees" }] uuid: "987...", matchers: [{ pattern: "bees" }, { pattern: "plants" }] The query should return row with uuid "123..." as trees occurs in "Some trees look nicer than others" Edit2: final query which worked for me thanks to s-man SELECT DISTINCT uuid, pattern FROM ( SELECT , jsonb_array_elements(a.matchers)->>'pattern' as pattern FROM a ) s WHERE 'Some trees look nicer than others' LIKE '%' \|\| pattern \|\| '%' A: Table: id matchers 1 [{"abc": 1, "pattern": "ABC"}, {"pattern": "ABAB"}, {"cde": "FOO", "pattern": "AABB"}] 2 [{"pattern": "AB"}, {"cde": "BAR", "pattern": "CDE"}] 3 [{"abc": 2, "pattern": "CD"}, {"pattern": "FG"}] Query: SELECT DISTINCT -- C id, matchers FROM ( SELECT , jsonb_array_elements(a.matchers)->>'pattern' as pattern -- A FROM a ) s WHERE pattern LIKE '%AB%' -- B A: jsonb_array_elements expands the json array to one row per array element. The ->> operator gives the value of the pattern attribute contained by each array element as text. B: Filtering the text values with LIKE operator C: Because the table is expanded we have to reduce it again since we want only the original columns which we saved through the subquery in every row. Result: id matchers 1 [{"abc": 1, "pattern": "ABC"}, {"pattern": "ABAB"}, {"cde": "FOO", "pattern": "AABB"}] 2 [{"pattern": "AB"}, {"cde": "BAR", "pattern": "CDE"}] demo: db<>fiddle If your column is of type json instead of jsonb you have to use json_array_elements of course. Edit: After making the question more clearer it came out that the use case for the pattern is other way round. So the expected result can be achieved by changing the WHERE clause into: 'long input string including pattern' LIKE '%' \|\| pattern \|\| '%' Further reading	2023-09-11T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/3632
Q: Only display container for first 4 visits to site I'm using the following code to display two div containers after 3 minutes: /* Display After 3 Minutes (180000) */ setTimeout("jQuery('#contact-overlay, #contact-window').show();", 180000); I only want these div containers to open after 3 minutes on the first 4 visits to the website, after this the div containers should not open for that user again. I assume this could be tracked using the jquery cookies script, but I'm not quite sure how I would get this working. A: Get the cookie plugin from the link here: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/jquery-cookies/ Open only on the first 4 visits to the site: //$(document).ready(function(){ if(!$.cookie('visits')){ $.cookie('visits',1, {expires: 30}); } $.cookie('visits', (parseInt($.cookie('visits')) + 1), {expires: 30}) //will expire after 30 days var overlayContact = function(){ if(parseInt($.cookie('visits')) < 5){ $('#contact-overlay, #contact-window').show(); } }; setTimeout(overlayContact, 180000); //} // Replace all $ with jQuery if you're doubling up // on your javascript frameworks. Or to open only on the first 4 times the user actually sees the box, move the cookie incrementing line into the body of the overlayContact function, before the if.	2023-12-17T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/4534

Applying for a Policy Obesity and Minnesota Term Life Insurance Minnesota literally means "sky-colored water" or "water of the clouds". The state is also nicknamed the "Gopher State" probably because of large number of gophers which chew farm crops here. Life insurance is very important for people because of the rising levels of obesity being witnessed here. There is a need for quick action to check alarming obesity levels, especially among children. Quick stats about obesity As per a study, it will cost the state $3.5 billion by 2017 If the rate keeps on rising at current rates, Minnesotans will have to pay $3.5 billion in extra health care costs every year by 2019. If nothing is done to check the problem, by the year 2021, almost 20% of the population will be overweight. More than 15% of the children between 8 to 18 years are not only overweight but also obese. Another study says more than 22% of children between the age of 3 and 6 are already overweight or obese. Minnesota Term life insurance offers preventive measures, if not cure Minnesota term life insurance may not be the cure, but can be a pertinent prevention for you. It pays to invest some money in a plan to protect your loved ones in case of your untimely death and ease their problems when life poses a challenge to them. If you die within the term of your plan, your wife, children and parents would have at least some financial help to begin with. It will be a big source of help for them. Facts about Minnesota Capital city: Saint Paul. Largest city: Minneapolis. It is also called the land of lakes. It has more than 10,000 lakes. It boasts of having the biggest US mall, Mall of America (M.O.A.). The 20th most populous US states. Also known for many famous writers such as Sinclair Lewis, who won the Nobel Prize for literature.	2024-02-16T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/9030
Q: How do I effect the page that a menu item redirects to? I am trying to do something that seems simple, but I have yet to have to do it with my development because I have always dealt with forms and views. On the page that I get redirected to when I click on a menu item, I want to have a page with a href on it. So for example, I have created a menu item as follows: $items['admin/vendor/auth-stripe'] = array( 'title' => 'Authenticate Stripe Account', 'description' => 'In order to receive payments, you must authenticate your Stripe Account.', //'page callback' => '_bh_vendor_auth_stripe', 'access arguments' => array('vendor administration'), 'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM, ); When I click on this menu item, I am taken to a page. I want to add items to this page. Namely an href link. Do I need to create a block that only shows up on this page? If so, how do I add a link on the page. I know how to create a block programmatically using hook_block_info, but I am not exactly clear on putting content in this block programmatically. A: hook_menu serves, among other things, to map paths onto callback functions. Whatever function is marked as the page callback for that path will be responsible for returning a either a rendered string of HTML or a Drupal render array. So, for your very simple use-case, you could do the following (assuming your module's name is bh_vendor): function bh_vendor_menu() { $items['admin/vendor/auth-stripe'] = array( 'title' => 'Authenticate Stripe Account', 'description' => 'In order to receive payments, you must authenticate your Stripe Account.', 'page callback' => '_bh_vendor_auth_stripe', 'access arguments' => array('vendor administration'), 'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM, ); return $items; } function _bh_vendor_auth_stripe() { return l('My link', 'my/path'); } You could, in fact, define a block using hook_block_info() and hook_block_view(), then embed that block on your page by calling module_invoke('bh_vendor', 'block_view', 'yourblockdeltahere') but that really only makes sense if the stuff you're embedding is re-used elsewhere. If it's only meant for this one page then you should stick the code to generate that markup in your page callback directly. Another option, if this isn't for a module that's to be widely distributed and is only configuration for a specific site: use the Panels module. You can create a panels page at a specific url (admin/vendor/auth-stripe) and embed whatever blocks/content you wish. If you want it in code it is exportable and/or can integrate with Features.	2024-03-08T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/9070

Tuesday, April 24, 2012 It has been more than five months since I had my last scoop of ice cream. I bit a piece of cheesecake smaller than my pinky finger nail three months back but my last decent slice of cake was six months back. I would really, really, really like to have an ice cold strawberry kiwi smoothie from Big Chill or a very thick strawberry milkshake in this intense heat. I would like to try the mochi ice cream near our condo which I sometimes hear people fuss about. Heck, even if I have a feeling that Magnum is just another ice cream bar, just more hyped up, I'd like to try it. But I can't. I'm on a strict no-sugar, low-fat, low-sodium, low-oil diet because of my gestational diabetes. Even if I started my daily dose of insulin a month back, it's not enough to allow me the eat with the usual indulgence of a pregnant woman. Even my fruit intake has to be limited because my sugar will spike up if I eat an extra grape. Since Christmas, I've watched people eat to their heart's and stomach's content. I spent Noche Buena drinking a glass of milk and a piece of toasted bread. I've been to parties with rich, decadent cakes that I would have gotten more than one slice on a regular day. I have to deal with opening our refrigerator every day only to see it brimming with Jan's chocolate bars and soft drinks and cookies. I reached my tipping point when the hubby wanted to buy a half gallon of ice cream. I was in tears when I saw it on our grocery cart. I put my foot down and told him to take it back. He can have ice cream when I am not around or away on field work. Other than that, I grin and bear it. I grin and bear it because I realize that this is an early lesson in motherhood. If it were just me, I'd get that extra bite of fruit or take a small slice of cake. But I know that my indulgence will affect my little wriggler one way or the other. And I don't want that. If making sure he comes out healthy and happy will mean I have to give up on so many things I like eating, I will. I did. I surprised myself that I could have this kind of discipline for the sake of some one other than myself. I guess this is what motherhood is about... self-sacrifice for the good of your child. And most of the time, there is no bitterness. Just determination. Determination that the best comes out of what you have given up. There are times, of course, that I falter. Like that ice cream incident. That rule still stands in our household. No ice cream in the ref until I can start having it as well. I also need my sanity. Why be unnecessarily jealous every night, right? Also, fingers crossed, I'm flying to HK when I'm 32 weeks pregnant. It was a chance to be with my family and I have some sponsors, so I'm taking advantage of that. That's another reason why I'm taking good care of myself too. I want to go to this trip. I want this last hurrah before I give birth. So that's another lesson I learned. Mothers need to leave something behind for themselves too. Because if you leave nothing, you become a mere shell with nothing else to give. Mothers will be able to give more to their children if they have more in them. There is no need to be guilty when you would like some time out with friends or some time alone and be away from your child for a short bit because you know after that, you would come running home to your child and your husband, ready for another surge of insane mothering and wifeyness. So yes, there are days I just want to break the sugar fast and grab a scoop of ice cream. But then there's this wriggling little thing inside me that would kick and hiccup and remind me, the no sweets is s all worth it. Not to mention, that I actually feel sexier now that I did pre-pregnancy. ;P	2024-01-15T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/3849
So you have Planned, Sculpted and Designed. Now it is time to Beautify. I usually place objects before Terrain Painting but it's not a rule. You will switch between object placement and terrain painting as needed. So I'm going to use Lights as the example because all objects are placed the same way. 1. Earlier I explained that you must create layers BEFORE you start laying Anything on your world. If you skipped that section, read this chapter first. 2. Now you have your layers. Select the layer you want to work on and make it active. In my example below I am using the layer 'lights'. Next select the object you want to place from the Game objects list by double-clicking it. Wednesday, 14 December 2011 This Chapter is likely to be updated regularly since I'm still learning about terrain painting. But I know enough to get you started. Just like in Terrain sculpting, you learn by doing. So let's proceed. Tuesday, 6 December 2011 Through experience and some trial and error I have come up with this, hopefully easy, method of building your world and avoiding disaster. It isn't the only way to do it, but I can assure you that it is painless and quick. so here goes. 1. If you don't know anything about placing roads. Read this tutorial first 2. First we need LAYERS. I don't know the technicalities of having layers, but I do know they are useful for grouping your world into categories, which helps with management and game speed. A lot of objects go into the world and with layers, you can keep them separated, so that damage to one group will not affect another and you can also delete a whole group of objects at once 3. A quick revision. I assume by now that you have started a new world, and have the decided where your sunset/sunrise is and have also drawn up a preliminary rough sketch. All this saves time in future. Always remember to save your world regularly. You can rename your world at anytime before export, so don't worry. These are the basics of terrain sculpting. I can only tell you what the tool does, but you have to actually use it to get a feel of it. I would advice that you open a blank world for practicing and just have a go at it. 1. Click Terrain tab on the Main menu, select terrain painting tools. A new panel will open on the right. Select Sculpt tab. 1. Add a new LAYER. Do this by right-clicking the "World Layer" or "yourname.world" (if you have named your world) link under the World layers panel on the left side. Next right-click the new layer_1 and select MAKE LAYER ACTIVE. Thursday, 1 December 2011 What will your world look like? That's the basic question. I don't always know. Personally I like to sort out the Road system and lot placements first. The actual shape of the world will work itself out. This way, the shape is not too regular like a square or a circle. I feel randomness enhances a natural look. Plus I don't really plan where there would be hills or valleys until I start sculpting then I just go with my guts. Here is my Rough sketch of the central part of my town, my starting point. It doesn't look like much, yet. Now I will show you how I came up with it.	2024-01-04T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/6685
Ossie Newton-Thompson John Oswald "Ossie" Newton-Thompson (2 December 1920 – 3 April 1974) was a South African sportsman and politician. He played international rugby union for England and was also a first-class cricketer. From 1961 until his death in 1974, Newton-Thompson was a member of the South African parliament. Early life and education Newton-Thompson was born in London to lawyer Cyril Newton-Thompson and his wife Joyce, who later became the first female mayor of Cape Town. He however grew up in South Africa, where he attended Diocesan College and then the University of Cape Town. In 1940 he returned to England after receiving a Rhodes Scholarship for Trinity College, Oxford. His brother was Christopher Newton Thompson. World War II His studies at Oxford were interrupted by World War II, where he served with the South African Air Force. He was awarded a DFC after fighting with a Spitfire Squadron in Italy. Sport at Oxford University In 1946, Newton-Thompson appeared in seven first-class matches for the Oxford University Cricket Club as a right handed middle order batsman. He could only score 171 runs from 14 innings and went wicket-less from his 24 overs of right-arm slow bowling. He also played rugby union for Oxford University as a scrum-half and was the team's captain in 1946. International rugby England selected Newton-Thompson in two Tests during their 1947 Five Nations Championship campaign, which saw them share the title with Wales. He was first capped in England's win over Scotland at Twickenham and made his other appearance in their defeat of France at the same venue. Return to South Africa Newton-Thompson played two further first-class cricket matches after returning to South Africa. He scored 78 in his debut innings for Western Province against the Marylebone Cricket Club in Cape Town, his only half century at that level. Four of the MCC's bowlers were Test cricketers, including a young Alec Bedser, who dismissed him in both innings. He was then picked in a Cape Province representative team which played the MCC a week later but he couldn't repeat his previous effort and scored 0 and 28. A lawyer, he ran successfully in 1961 for a seat in South African parliament, as the United Party candidate for Pinelands. Death He re-contested his seat in the 1974 general election and was campaigning in South-West Africa when he was killed in an air crash.

In the vast majority of those infected with HIV virus who are untreated, there is deterioration in immune health over a period of months or years inevitably leading to full-blown AIDS and demise. Treatment with ARV's stop or slow down this deterioration if started before a certain degree of progression occurs and has saved millions of lives. The investigators' study hypothesis is that effectiveness of a very low dose of an FDA-approved medication, naltrexone hydrochloride, (Low-Dose Naltrexone, or LDN) will compare favorably to ARV's to prevent progression of HIV+ toward immune deterioration and full-blown AIDS. In this arm 2, patients were started or continued on their standard ARV drugs plus placebo capsule once daily at bedtime; in the 2nd and 3rd arms patients did not know whether they were taking Low-Dose Naltrexone or a placebo. Other: ARV's + Placebo Patients continued ARV's plus a placebo nightly for 9 months Other Names: Azidothimidine + lamivudine + nevirapine Or Stavudine + lamivudine + nevirapine (TRIOMUNE)Or Azidothimidine + lamivudine + efavirenz Or Azidothimidine + lamivudine + lopinavir/r Or Emtricitabine + tenofovir + efavirenz Detailed Description: The LDN (low-dose naltrexone) vs ARV (anti-retroviral drugs) Effectiveness Study in Mali sponsored by The Ojai Foundation in California-USA is a clinical research study endorsed and approved by the Malian Government. Naltrexone hydrochloride is a generic, FDA-approved since 1998 drug, an opioid antagonist that has clinically shown immune enhancing/modulating qualities in very low dosage and may offer an alternative to ARV drugs that is effective, non-toxic, easily available, inexpensive, with simple once-daily at bedtime administration. LDN capsules must be created by compounding pharmacists to get these ultra-small doses. Due to toxicity of current ARV drugs and need for special medical management young HIV infected children are largely neglected particularly in developing countries; LDN can also be made available in a transdermal cream for infants and children who are HIV infected. Eligibility Ages Eligible for Study: 18 Years to 60 Years Genders Eligible for Study: Both Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No Criteria Inclusion Criteria: HIV-1 infected CD4 count over 350 (arm 1/group 1) CD4 count over 200 and on ARV's (arms 2,3/groups 2,3) Age between 18 & 60 Males or females Exclusion criteria: HIV-1 seronegative HIV-2 infected CD4 count lower than 200 patients under age 18 Those refusing to be in study Pregnant or breast-feeding women Patients under immuno-suppressor therapy Those with renal or hepatic dysfunction Malaria or tuberculosis Contacts and Locations Choosing to participate in a study is an important personal decision.

CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS’ When thinking about the five types of email marketing described previously, auto responders are almost exclusively used for customer acquisition email marketing. Your existing customers may respond well to an auto-responder campaign, but chances are high that the best place in your marketing mix for auto-responders is when trying to acquire new customers. Display ads are typically highly targeted to different demographic or behavioral actions. You can select where you want the ads to be seen by choosing an online publication that you feel is a place where your leads spend time, or you can also leverage re-targeter ads that can cookie a lead that views your site. With re-targeter ads, once a person gets cookied, your ads appear on other sites that he or she visits afterwards. Through online ads you can reach more of your target audience, educate potential prospects, and drive leads. Display ads also serve a purpose at every stage in the funnel—building brand and audience at Top of Funnel, educating and helping evaluation at Mid-Funnel, and increasing conversions at Bottom of Funnel. Whether you are hosting a small private function, a large-scale international tradeshow, or an executive-level webinar, event marketing needs to be an integral part of the lead generation mix. After all, events are a critical component of an outbound marketing strategy. Essentially, events offer you the chance to define your brand, clarify the solutions you provide, and establish personal connections with participants. And while they provide you with an invaluable opportunity to engage with prospects and customers, events also give attendees the chance to interact with each other. As every marketer knows, there is no better advertising than the direct words of a satisfied customer. Events also provide a venue to deliver speeches and content that convey your company’s thought leadership and raise your perception in the eyes of buyers. Compared to other marketing tactics, events are more likely to quickly turn a prospect into a strong lead. As a lively, interactive, educational forum, events position your business as a trusted leader in a field of many. The key difference from an autoresponder is that workflows are smart: They can change the course of your automated series based on what your prospect will find useful. For instance, if a new subscriber receives a welcome email and the subsequent email is set up to send them an offer that they already found and downloaded on your site, the workflow tool will know and adapt. In an autoresponder, a user receives a specific set of emails at specific time intervals no matter what action they take. Not only is InVision's newsletter a great mix of content, but I also love the nice balance between images and text, making it really easy to read and mobile-friendly -- which is especially important, because its newsletters are so long. (Below is just an excerpt, but you can read through the full email here.) We like the clever copy on the call-to-action (CTA) buttons, too. Email marketing is all about expectations, and it’s up to you to set them. If your call to action is strong, and your follow-up is consistent, then you can count on a positive campaign. However, if you promise to send one email per week and instead send them daily, then you’re setting yourself up for failure. On the contrary, if someone is expecting daily updates or critical product updates and you don’t’ deliver, then they are likely to be just as upset in that case too. ‘After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused.

CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS’ https://www.agilecrm.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/How-to-Design-a-Good-Drip-Email-Campaign-.jpg Lead generation is a core part of the sales funnel for many B2B companies since their products can cost thousands of dollars and web visitors less likely to buy their product or service directly from the website. Collecting leads allows the businesses to educate and nurture prospective customers through e-mail marketing, before reaching out to them directly via salespeople.

It records visitors and tells you where they spend the most time on your site. You can use it to gather information on your lead generation forms, feedback forms and surveys, and more. https://www.lyfemarketing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/email-marketing-roi-2.jpg If your small business wants more customer conversions (i.e. sales), then learning when and how to use autoresponders is a step in the right direction. These pre-scheduled emails, usually one or more in a series, are triggered by customer behavior and can be used to target, engage and convert prospects to buyers. An individual autoresponder can even become a standalone product by itself. Something else to consider is your offer. The more valuable it is to your audience, the more you can ask them to hand over in exchange for it. If you’ve put together a short tip sheet, then ten fields might be too big an ask. On the other hand, if you’ve compiled an industry report filled with valuable insights from leading experts, your prospects might be totally fine with completing a 10-field form. Promotional emails are one of the most economical ways for any business to connect with customers. Research shows a message is five times more likely to be seen through email than on social media like Facebook or Twitter. That’s why musicians use email marketing software to share their performance schedule with their fans, non-profits use it to get donations and photographers use it to promote their portrait services. It just works. https://www.emailtooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/email-marketing-services.jpg Lead generation is not a new form of acquiring a business, but business trends and time necessities have found a better way to get new clients. Rather than sitting at a trade show table for hours on end, or setting up a display in hopes that targeted consumers will complete a form, you can have leads generated and sent to you using available technology, all while you can direct your time elsewhere. With their service, you can choose from a curated list of email newsletters and sponsor those that share your target customer. Sponsoring allows you to advertise your lead generation campaigns in email newsletters that matter to your target audience. LaunchBit screens all lists to make sure they’re legit and handles the transaction from sponsor to advertiser so the experience is smooth for all. In marketing, lead generation is the initiation of consumer interest or enquiry into products or services of a business. Leads can be created for purposes such as list building, e-newsletter list acquisition or for sales leads. The methods for generating leads typically fall under the umbrella of advertising, but may also include non-paid sources such as organic search engine results or referrals from existing customers.[1] https://neilpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/1.jpg A common example of permission marketing is a newsletter sent to an advertising firm's customers. Such newsletters inform customers of upcoming events or promotions, or new products.[11] In this type of advertising, a company that wants to send a newsletter to their customers may ask them at the point of purchase if they would like to receive the newsletter. MoFu: Leads in the middle of the funnel need nudging. They’re not completely clueless about what you do, but they’re not ready to buy either. They have many questions about your business, and they’re also starting to compare you with the competition. Be prepared to share content like case studies, testimonials and videos that continue to educate and yet make a strong case for your brand. Take the email below from Paperless Post, for example. I love the header of this email: It provides a clear CTA that includes a sense of urgency. Then, the subheader asks a question that forces recipients to think to themselves, "Wait, when is Mother's Day again? Did I buy Mom a card?" Below this copy, the simple grid design is both easy to scan and quite visually appealing. Each card picture is a CTA in and of itself -- click on any one of them, and you'll be taken to a purchase page. The main sources from which I get our leads are our blogs, organic traffic, pay-per-click ads and salespeople. No matter where you source your leads, use several email chains that are customized according to what those leads are looking for. Next, categorize them and get them in the right automated email chain. This places them in your sales funnel to warm them up and get them ready for sales. : a function of e-mail software that automatically sends a response to incoming messages Unanswered e-mail is as big a turnoff as unanswered calls. Consider using your ISP's autoresponder to acknowledge received e-mail. It lets the visitors know their message arrived and gives you an opportunity to thank them for visiting the site.— Victoria Hall Smith, PC World, January 1999 On the Internet, Web sites and search engines can be excellent sources of leads, although the process can be time consuming. Web sites, such as TechTarget.com, have evolved for the specific purpose of making it easy for personnel to obtain leads. Companies have emerged that specialize in lead generation for a fee. They perform the research, and then provide the client with a list of leads. Services of this kind have been used by insurance companies, real estate agents, wholesalers, marketing firms, private investigators, research scientists and educational institutions. First, act as though you’re a prospect making their way to your business’s landing page. Start by ensuring that the links to your landing page are working, wherever they may be — email, PPC networks, sponsored social media posts, etc. Are they driving you to the landing page that they’re supposed to? Does everything look the way you intended on every browser? https://reallygoodemails.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Have-You-Seen-Our-Top-100-Email-Marketing-Campaigns.png Content blocks are literally the building blocks of your emails, allowing you to add content to them. This content includes things like text, images, images + text, columns, buttons, dividing lines and social media icons. Once you've inserted a content block into an email, you can move it up and down, change the background color, move items within it from side to side, copy it, or delete it. Sales Development reps (SDRs), also often called Inside Sales or Lead Qualification reps, are focused on one thing: reviewing, contacting, and qualifying marketing-generated leads and delivering them to Sales Account Executives. Simply put, SDR teams pass the baton from Marketing to Sales. Why do it this way? Because you want to make sure every single lead Marketing passes to your Sales team is as qualified as possible. Your SDRs should take the time to help each and every lead, offer them value, make a positive impression, create future demand, and become a trusted advisor. This step is critical in the lead generation process because you don’t want to treat your leads as blank faces to be simply questioned, qualified, and harvested. Ironpaper works with B2B enterprises and organizations wishes to scale their marketing efforts. We focus on sales qualified lead generation and prospect to lead conversion rates. Our services include lead-generation marketing, automation, advertising, social media, SEO and PPC. We build websites, mobile apps and produce great content to win new business and leads for clients. Leads may come from various sources or activities, for example, digitally via the Internet, through personal referrals, through telephone calls either by the company or telemarketers, through advertisements, and events. A 2015 study found that 89% of respondents cited email as the most-used channel for generating leads, followed by content marketing, search engine, and finally events.[2] A study from 2014 found that direct traffic, search engines, and web referrals were the three most popular online channels for lead generation, accounting for 93% of leads.[3] The basics we've gone over in this blog post are just the beginning. Keep creating great offers, CTAs, landing pages, and forms — and promote them in multi-channel environments. Be in close touch with your sales team to make sure you're handing off high-quality leads on a regular basis. Last but not least, never stop testing. The more you tweak and test every step of your inbound lead generation process, the more you'll improve lead quality and increase revenue. "Why aren't millennials moving?" The subject line of this email campaign reads before citing interesting data about relocation trends in the U.S. Trulia doesn't benefit from people who choose not to move, but the company does benefit from having its fingers on the pulse of the industry -- and showing it cares which way the real estate winds are blowing. Presentation is everything, or so they say. With this old adage in mind, we’ve compiled our best tips for anyone who wants to send emails that subscribers click into a handy email design guide. We cover each facet of design: content, templates, identity, color, images, layout, fonts, and calls to action. Design is as much science as it is art, and we take the guesswork out of what can seem like the most challenging part of sending good emails. No matter how effective the subject line you’ll always have subscribers who don’t open it for a variety of reasons. Send your email again specifically targeting a list segment of those who didn’t open the first time around. Not only is this a second chance in case they just missed the first email, it’s another opportunity to further split test subject lines as well as send times. How should you balance useful content with solicitations for sales or offers? One of the greatest risks of an auto-responder program is having users become frustrated with hard-sales attempts and subsequently marking your email as spam, opting-out, or simply not opening future emails. All of the aforementioned activities can lower your quality score with email service providers and make it harder for your email sends to get into the inbox. Therefore, it's very important that your auto-responders actually contain useful information. While it's acceptable to include a sales offer along with useful information in each email, it is not advisable for you to make a sales-only email any more frequently than every fifth email in the series in order to protect your email sender reputation. The first thing to do, of course, is consider whether you want to include auto responders in your marketing mix. You'll need to be sure to find an email marketing provider that supports auto-responder functionality (not all of them do, though Comm100 does support auto-responder functionality). Then, when considering developing an auto responder program, you'll want to consider all of the following points: If your small business wants more customer conversions (i.e. sales), then learning when and how to use autoresponders is a step in the right direction. These pre-scheduled emails, usually one or more in a series, are triggered by customer behavior and can be used to target, engage and convert prospects to buyers. An individual autoresponder can even become a standalone product by itself. 4. Make Links Clear and Visible & Use Text Links: Make sure that all links to your product purchasing pages are clear and visible. When possible, default to blue, underlined links for easy user recognition. Though in web design it is often unadvisable to use the words "click here" in a link, in email design it typically is more effective to use the words "click here." Make sure that your links are text links and not image-based links as images may not appear in all emails. In dividing your list in this manner, you give yourself the ability to send more targeted communication. Some customers want both product and sales updates, while others might only want to hear about new versions. If you don’t give them the chance to choose, you risk losing them all-together. Since customers make the best buyers, it’s fairly obvious why you want to keep them subscribed to your customer email list. Automation also provides opportunities for personalization. Each interaction with an email or your website can trigger a follow-up based on those activities. What’s more personalized than a user experience specifically tailored to an individual’s interests? It will make your subscribers feel like you’re completely attuned to their needs and that you care about what’s important to them. The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 was passed by Congress as a direct response to the growing number of complaints over spam e-mails.[citation needed] Congress determined that the US government was showing an increased interest in the regulation of commercial electronic mail nationally, that those who send commercial e-mails should not mislead recipients over the source or content of them, and that all recipients of such emails have a right to decline them. The act authorizes a US $16,000 penalty per violation for spamming each individual recipient.[17] However, it does not ban spam emailing outright, but imposes laws on using deceptive marketing methods through headings which are "materially false or misleading". In addition there are conditions which email marketers must meet in terms of their format, their content and labeling. As a result, many commercial email marketers within the United States utilize a service or special software to ensure compliance with the act. A variety of older systems exist that do not ensure compliance with the act. To comply with the act's regulation of commercial email, services also typically require users to authenticate their return address and include a valid physical address, provide a one-click unsubscribe feature, and prohibit importing lists of purchased addresses that may not have given valid permission.[citation needed] Not only was this initial email great, but his response to my answers was even better: Within a few days of responding to the questionnaire, I received a long and detailed personal email from Matt thanking me for filling out the questionnaire and offering a ton of helpful advice and links to resources specifically catered to my answers. I was very impressed by his business acumen, communication skills, and obvious dedication to his readers. This is why, as an entrepreneur, I believe that building successful email marketing campaigns has never been more important than it is now. But there’s a problem; most people don’t know how to do it right. So in the interest of furthering best practices and helping you succeed as a business owner, let’s get back to the basics and talk about how a great email campaign is built, from the ground up. Online surveys: Consumers are asked to complete a survey, including their demographic information and product and lifestyle interests. This information is used as a sales lead for advertisers, who purchase the consumer's information if provided. The consumer may 'opt-in' to receive correspondence from the advertiser and is therefore considered a qualified lead. Cost per click advertising (e.g. AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing) overcomes this problem by charging advertisers only when the consumer clicks on the advertisement. However, due to increased competition, search keywords have become very expensive. A 2007 Doubleclick Performics Search trends report shows that there were nearly six times as many keywords with a cost per click (CPC) of more than $1 in January 2007 than the prior year. The cost per keyword increased by 33% and the cost per click rose by as much as 55%. Landing Pages - The best lead generation tool of all is your product. If you have a compelling product that solves a major pain point, visitors will want to provide their contact information even without any incentives. Presenting your product in the most attractive way is often done through landing pages or sales pages, which help educate and convert prospective customers. Landing page optimization is the key to making sure you are getting the most out of these pages. Lead scoring is a shared sales and marketing methodology for ranking leads in order to determine their sales-readiness. You score leads based on the interest they show in your business, their current in the buying cycle, and their fit in regards to your business. Lead scoring helps companies know whether prospects need to be fast-tracked to sales or developed with lead nurturing. Lead scoring is essential to strengthening your revenue cycle, effectively drive more ROI, and align sales and marketing. A common example of permission marketing is a newsletter sent to an advertising firm's customers. Such newsletters inform customers of upcoming events or promotions, or new products.[11] In this type of advertising, a company that wants to send a newsletter to their customers may ask them at the point of purchase if they would like to receive the newsletter. Building any real, successful business takes time. Nurturing your social network presence, crafting a solid email marketing campaign, diligently working on creating and producing quality content–all of these tasks require a significant amount of time and focus. You’ll expend energy, but you have to move out of your comfort zone to achieve results – particularly when it comes to building your lead generation campaign. Great advice on B2B marketing in these four primary channels. I’ve also seen that the most successful B2B channels can vary greatly by niche and vertical. In my industry, paid and organic search are king, with email, content and social supplementing our search marketing. In others that perhaps are less niche, I can see how social and content marketing making more of an impact. My company is boberdoo.com, which makes software for lead generators. Why does email list segmentation matter? We know that beyond relevancy, list segmentation is important from a revenue perspective. Data from the DMA indicates that segmented and targeted emails generate 58% of all email revenue. On top of this, our research found that marketers who used segmented campaigns noted as much as a 76% increase in revenue–and more than 76% of marketers say basic segmentation is part of their email marketing strategy. Whether you are hosting a small private function, a large-scale international tradeshow, or an executive-level webinar, event marketing needs to be an integral part of the lead generation mix. After all, events are a critical component of an outbound marketing strategy. Essentially, events offer you the chance to define your brand, clarify the solutions you provide, and establish personal connections with participants. And while they provide you with an invaluable opportunity to engage with prospects and customers, events also give attendees the chance to interact with each other. As every marketer knows, there is no better advertising than the direct words of a satisfied customer. Events also provide a venue to deliver speeches and content that convey your company’s thought leadership and raise your perception in the eyes of buyers. Compared to other marketing tactics, events are more likely to quickly turn a prospect into a strong lead. As a lively, interactive, educational forum, events position your business as a trusted leader in a field of many. As mentioned before, the type of email campaign you send depends entirely on your goals with email. If you’re looking to drive direct sales then sending marketing offer and announcement campaigns are going to return the best results, however if you are simply looking to keep your existing customers up-to-date on the latest projects, products or developments at your company, then sending a regular newsletter is going to be the best way to achieve that. ConvertKit is specifically designed with creative people in mind, and that’s why we’ve chosen it as our email marketing software here at Copyblogger. Any member of our editorial team — no matter how technically challenged — can easily perform any task that needs to be done, including sending messages, creating automated sequences, using tags for message segmentation, reviewing analytics, and identifying personalization opportunities. https://www.emailmanager.com/files/upload/blog/imagensblog/email_francisco01_ingles.png Beyond incentives, often a key part of the conversion funnel that can be optimized is the lead form. Although it is beneficial from a business standpoint to collect as much information as possible about a prospect, more forms fields leads to a reduction in form submissions. Experiment with different form lengths to see what is optimal in terms of lead capture and lead information. I think this email also makes quite a brilliant use of responsive design. The colors are bright, and it's not too hard to scroll and click -- notice the CTAs are large enough for me to hit with my thumbs. Also, the mobile email actually has features that make sense for recipients who are on their mobile device. Check out the CTA at the bottom of the email, for example: The "Open Stitcher Radio" button prompts the app to open on your phone. ‘After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call Whatsapp him +2349055637784 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS’ Engage your email readers with content that is short and to the point. Wordiness and fluff have no place in email marketing campaigns. Reveal your purpose up front and talk about how your purpose relates to the customer to get a connection started. Choose large fonts in an easy-to-read style. Your readers may be people who constantly read while they’re on the go or they may have poor eyesight. You’ll want them to be able to read and scan the email quickly. If rounds of split testing, segmentation, and resends still result in low engagement scores for some of your subscribers then don’t be afraid to clean your list. Review subscriber data regularly to monitor activity and engagement ratings. Remove or further segment those who aren’t engaging in order to improve the overall open rates of your primary subscriber segments. https://www.websolutions.com/Customer-Content/www/CMS/files/blog/email-must-haves.png Lead generation can be an easy way to increase your return on investment and greatly expand your client base. Approach it just like you would any other advertising endeavor: set aside a reasonable budget to test it and see if it works for your business. The key to being successful in lead generation is to brush up on your sales and marketing skills so that the leads you receive convert at a high sales rate. Do not try to approach this method of marketing without the ability to follow through and close the sale. Lead generation is the process of finding people (leads) who’re likely to become your customers immediately or in the future. “Finding” people implies finding information about people, like their name, email ID or organization’s name, all of which you can use to initiate a business relationship with them. You can generate leads organically and/or by spending money, depending on your resources. In dividing your list in this manner, you give yourself the ability to send more targeted communication. Some customers want both product and sales updates, while others might only want to hear about new versions. If you don’t give them the chance to choose, you risk losing them all-together. Since customers make the best buyers, it’s fairly obvious why you want to keep them subscribed to your customer email list. Focus on the reader first. You should always write your emails to address the needs of your subscribers, not yours. Offer ways to solve their problems, don’t simply talk about your products and how great they are. (This is a part that so many companies get wrong.) Ask yourself, what are the biggest pain points/struggles for my subscribers? How can I solve their current problem in this email? Ironpaper works with B2B enterprises and organizations wishes to scale their marketing efforts. We focus on sales qualified lead generation and prospect to lead conversion rates. Our services include lead-generation marketing, automation, advertising, social media, SEO and PPC. We build websites, mobile apps and produce great content to win new business and leads for clients. Unsurprisingly, the more revenue a company has, the more leads they generate. The differences are most drastic at the highest and lowest end of the spectrum: 82% of companies with $250,000 or less in annual revenue report generating less than 100 leads per month, whereas only 8% of companies generating $1 billion in annual revenue report less than 100 leads per month. Use it as a lead magnet/free mini course. You can also use an autoresponder as a lead magnet to attract new subscribers to your email list. This is commonly done in the form of a free “mini course”, or a free “challenge”, which promises to deliver a series of emails containing lessons (or other valuable information) over the course of several days or weeks. There is a high perceived value with a mini course or a challenge like this, which makes it a very effective lead magnet. Be sure to look at the tech support offered by each of these companies, as we felt many weren't as available as we would have liked. You'll find that some offer 24/7 phone support, live chat, and email help, while others leave you to rely on online documentation and limited live support hours. The best services offer a combination of self-serve help resources—where you can search FAQs and articles to find your own answers—as well as live support via chat or phone when you can't solve an issue yourself. We cover all of these concerns in our reviews, plus you can get an overview in the feature chart above. Although lead generation no longer revolves around using the phone to identify qualified leads, that doesn’t mean the calling has stopped entirely. To engage and qualify prospective buyers, inside or outsourced teams will often still call prospects who have shown some level of interest. Sometimes they’ll call to highlight a value proposition or event as part of the lead nurturing and engagement process. In other cases, they’ll call simply to ask questions and determine interest as part of the lead qualification process. The digital age has also made it easier for companies to research and understand their perspective leads. By understanding the wants and needs of their target customers, companies can tailor information to better draw them in, as well as qualify any potential leads based on a variety of factors, such as engagement and demographic information. It is increasingly important for companies to not only generate new leads but also develop and nurture relationships with them.	2024-01-01T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/4245
Modulation of the blink reflex and P3 component of the startle response during an interoceptive challenge. The blink reflex component of the startle response is potentiated during processing of exteroceptive unpleasant stimuli. In contrast, blink magnitudes are often inhibited during interoceptive challenges. We measured respiration, blink magnitudes, and the P3 component to the acoustic startle probes in 34 participants while breathing against a mild resistance (mask-with-tubing) compared to breathing with no mask. Breathing through a mask with tubing resulted in increased inspiratory resistance as indicated by increased flow rate and tidal volume, a compensatory breathing pattern. Blink magnitudes to probes presented during the mask-with-tubing condition were inhibited compared to no-mask. Likewise, the probe P3 component was smaller during breathing through a mild resistance. These data suggest that startle inhibition during interoceptive challenges might be due to a shift in attention towards the mildly unpleasant interoceptive stimuli.	2023-09-30T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/4347
The Armada raid on Louisville City FC looks like it will continue. Rumors started spreading today that the club is set to announce the acquisition of 2015 USL MVP and leading scorer, Matthew Fondy. The announcement, if the rumors are true, will arrive a few weeks after the club announced another arrival from Louisville City, Bryan Burke. Unlike Burke, who was a free agent, Fondy is currently under contract with Louisville City, so the Armada will owe some compensation to Louisville, if they do acquire him. LCFC seems to be realistic about players and their desire to move up the pyramid, so that might keep a potential transfer fee down. It might just be a matter of buying his contract out, in the end. In this article, from Louisville’s Courier-Journal, LCFC manager James O’Connor states that Fondy has generated interest from several MLS clubs, also adding that NASL clubs have called. It would be a bit of a coup if the Armada were to snap him up, although the playing time available to him in Jacksonville might make it a much more attractive option. Fondy was the 2015 USL MVP and Golden Boot winner. He was tied – on 22 goals – with Sebastian Giovinco and Kei Kamara for the most goals in all US Professional Leagues. He’s a legitimate finisher; big and tough to the ball. If he joins the fleet, he would be a perfect target man for Pascal Millien and Jemal Johnson. Watch all of his goals in USL last season. We have reached out to Matt and the Armada, and will update this post with any response.	2023-10-31T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/1601
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a novel control unit for driving and controlling a plurality of loopers, and particularly to a control unit for comprehensively controlling a plurality of loopers having different amounts for transferring the same and different strand numbers. 2. Description of the Prior Art Generally, in an installation for processing strip-like materials or the like, it is required to join the succeeding material to the preceding material by means of welding or the like in order to perform continuously such processing. For this reason, operation in such installation for processing must be stopped because of working for cutting, welding and the like of the strip-like materials. Thus, for the sake of making continuously the following principal working such as the processing itself and the like possible during stop of supplying such material, a loop or loops are disposed on the route of transferring material in the installation. Formerly, such loop was a free loop to which no tension had been applied, but in such free loop, meandering of a material or the like became remarkable in the case where speed of transferring the material was particularly high so that problems occurred frequently. Recently, however, tension loops being loopers such as loop cars or the like have been utilized. For simplicity, an example in which a loop car is utilized as a looper will be described hereinbelow. FIG. 1 is a system diagram showing a conventional control unit for driving a single loop car in which each loop car 5 of two strands is driven by means of one rope. And these two ropes are wound around one rope drum 3 so that four strands are simultaneously controlled in this unit. Meanwhile, a purpose for the use of such loop car resides in that a difference in speed between its processing section and an adjacent section, in other words, the difference between the processing section and its inlet or outlet section is absorbed. For this reason, the loop car is disposed in between the processing section being continuously operated and a section where the operation is stopped for welding or dividing a travelling material. Accordingly, a strip 7 stored in the loop car is supplied to the processing section during stop of the operation. On the other hand, when the operation is started, a speed of the inlet section is adjusted to make it higher than that of the processing section, thereby storing the strip 7. When the strip 7 stored in the loop car reaches to a certain amount, the speed of the inlet section is synchronized with that of the processing section, and the operation is again stopped for welding the travelling material. Although the above explanation was made upon such a case where a loop car is placed on the inlet side of the processing section, such a case where another loop car is placed on the outlet side thereof will be also easily understood. As described above, loop cars are an important apparatus being indispensable for continuous processing line. Next, a construction of a conventional unit as shown in FIG. 1 will simply be described hereinbelow. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 designates a bridle motor on its inlet side, while numeral 2 designates another bridle motor on the outlet side, and these motors control speed in each section. Reference numeral 3 designates a drum around which two wire ropes are wound, and loop cars 5 placed on the upper and lower stages are arranged in such that these loop cars are travelled on rails (not shown) by means of the wire ropes extending from the drum 3, respectively. The strip 7 being a travelling material is in four strand form by means of the loop cars 5 in two stages. The drum 3 is driven by a motor 8. Furthermore, each speed of the motors 1, 2 and 8 is detected by means of speed generators 10a, 10b and 10c, respectively. Moreover, reference numeral 13 designates a power unit for the driving motor, 14 a torque controlling circuit, 15 a speed dead band, 16 a speed controlling circuit, 20 a speed command circuit, and 22 a tension presetting means, respectively. Tension of the loop cars 5 is preset by means of the tension presetting means 22, and travelling speed of the loop cars 5 is determined by a difference in speed between the bridle motor 1 on the inlet side and the bridle motor 2 on the outlet side. Namely, the loop cars transfer towards the right side in the drawing, respectively, in the case where a speed of the motor 1 is faster than that of the motor 2, whilst the loop cars transfer towards the left side in the drawing, respectively, in the case where a speed of the motor 1 is slower than that of the motor 2, Furthermore, the loop cars stop in the case where speeds of both the motors 1 and 2 are equal to each other. As mentioned above, important functions which should be possessed by the loop cars are that there is a large amount of the strip 7 stored, that there is found a little meandering of the strip 7 in the loop cars, and that there is a little fluctuation of tension at the time of starting and stopping the unit. However, with growing speeding up of continuous processing line, there is a limit in a driving means for a single loop car in order to satisfy important functions of the loop cars as described above. Thus, it is required to provide a driving means for plural loop cars. More specifically, the detailed reasons required for providing such driving means for plural loop cars are as follows. There are two ways for increasing an amount of the stored strip in a single loop car; either the number of strands is increased or an amount of the loop car travel is increased. However, these two ways have also the following disadvantages. Increase in number of strands brings about increase in bending loss as well as mechanical loss of a strip. Therefore it is required to increase difference in tension between the strip positioned on the uppermost stage and the strip positioned on the lowermost stage. In this respect, it is impossible to increase the difference in tension as mentioned above in a driving means for a single loop in which the whole strands are controlled in a lump. On the other hand, such way in which amount of the loop car travel is increased without increasing number of strands accompanies increase in mechanical loss, and after all, this way has also the disadvantages as mentioned above. Besides, stable operation becomes impossible, because meandering of the strip is amplified in these ways.	2024-03-05T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2038
Q: Li-ion Swollen battery dangerous or not? I have a Wifi AP and its Li-ion battery has swollen so much that its cover cannot be put in place over it now. Its working but its backup time has reduced to 20%. I cannot put on the battery cover because of its bulge. Normally its mains charger is power-ON 24/7. Is it safe to keep it working in this shape? Is their any recommendation as to when to replace a Li-ion battery? Is it possible that it blows up and catches fire? A: Provided it hasn't been over-charged, over-discharged or physically damaged it should be safe. But, why did it puff up? If it was overcharged, over-discharged or physically damaged then it could blow up. Apart from that, puffing indicates that some of the electrolyte has turned into gas, which reduces the capacity and efficiency of the cell. You should discharge this cell to zero volts, discard it and get a replacement.	2024-04-23T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/8832
Mustn’t Allow the Carpet-Bombing to Fall Behind Schedule (Editor’s Note:Proposition 16 would require a two-thirds vote before cities or counties could contract with an electricity provider other than the investor-owned utility that would otherwise serve that local area. San Francisco and Yolo County have both explored this option. Both are in the Pacific Gas & Electric service area. Pacific Gas & Electric is the chief financial backer of Proposition 16, a constitutional amendment that would require a two-thirds vote of local voters before such a contract, known as a “community choice aggregation” could be entered into. The measure also makes it harder for publicly owned utilities such as the Sacramento Municipal Utilities District, to compete for such contracts. Under Proposition 16, public utilities are prevented from expanding into new territory unless there is both a two-thirds vote of its existing customers and those in the area it proposes to serve. SMUD was the entity Yolo considered contracting with to create its community choice aggregation. According to Ballotpedia, as of March 26, PG&E has contributed $28.5 million to the campaign. While investor-owned utilities such as PG&E can use shareholder money to finance such campaigns, publicly owned utilities can’t. Opponents, as of March 26, have raised $40,000.) California’s municipal utilities are some of the finest energy service providers in the country. But creation of a new muni or expansion of an existing one poses certain problems. If a local government municipalizes private facilities, the loss of load from the departing customers is borne by the remaining customers of the investor-owned utility — a rate increase. A new governmental utility must offer better rates, service and delivery to justify the deal — which is an expensive one. And they can’t. That’s why there have been so few succecssful municipal takeovers during the last two decades. While I’m voting for Prop. 16, it is a meat axe approach, but will stop the frivoulous takeover attempts that too often raise expectations of utility customers but can’t deliver.	2024-04-23T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/4346
Meta-analysis of psychological assessment as a therapeutic intervention. This study entails the use of meta-analytic techniques to calculate and analyze 18 independent and 52 nonindependent effect sizes across 17 published studies of psychological assessment as a therapeutic intervention. In this sample of studies, which involves 1,496 participants, a significant overall Cohen's d effect size of 0.423 (95% CI [0.321, 0.525]) was found, whereby 66% of treatment group means fell above the control and comparison group means. When categorical variables were taken into account, significant treatment group effects were found for therapy process variables (d = 1.117, [0.679, 1.555]), therapy outcomes (d = 0.367, [0.256, 0.478]), and combined process/outcome variables (d = 0.547, [0.193, 0.901]). These findings appear to be robust on the basis of fail-safe N calculations. Taken together, they suggest that psychological assessment procedures-when combined with personalized, collaborative, and highly involving test feedback-have positive, clinically meaningful effects on treatment, especially regarding treatment processes. They also have important implications for assessment practice, training, and policy making, as well as future research, which are discussed in the conclusion of the article.	2023-12-25T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/5582
Purdue’s backup center Sandi Marcius has been granted his release and will be allowed to transfer out of the program. Marcius was a redshirt junior this past season, meaning that the big man is on schedule to graduate in May and will allowed to transfer without sitting out a season. “We have invested four years and significant resources into helping Sandi develop from both an educational and athletic standpoint,” head coach Matt Painter said in a release. “Certainly, having Sandi here for a fifth year was in our plans and we anticipated him having a great final year in our program. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.” Marcius began the season as a starter, but he was forced to the bench thanks to the play of freshman AJ Hammons. There was a five-game stretch in the middle of the season where Marcius didn’t play, but he came on late in the year, playing the best basketball of Purdue career in March.	2023-12-14T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/8522
2015 Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand male co-leadership election The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand male co-leadership election, 2015 was held to determine the future leadership of the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand. The election was won on the first ballot by first term List MP James Shaw. Background In January 2015 Russel Norman announced his intention to stand down as co-leader of the Green Party. This triggered an election to fill the now vacant male co-leadership. Candidates James Shaw James Shaw had been a List MP since 2014 and was ranked 12th on the Green Party list. He was the Greens' spokesperson for economic development, justice, trade and small business. He put himself forward as a candidate able to grow the Greens' party vote and strengthen its economic credentials in the minds of voters. Kevin Hague Serving as a List MP since 2008, a former chairman of the West Coast District Health Board and ranked 3rd on the party list, Kevin Hague had the most experience of the four nominees. At the time he was the Greens' spokesperson for ACC, health, housing, rainbow (LGBT) issues. He was seen by commentators as the "safe choice" as the most experienced candidate with the strongest record in Parliament. Gareth Hughes A List MP since 2010, Gareth Hughes was ranked 5th on the party list. He was serving as the Green Party's Musterer (whip) as well as their spokesman for energy, mining, ICT, and science. Hughes (aged 33) was seen as a choice representing a generational shift and was seen as the strongest voice on environmental issues, a key area of concern for the party. Vernon Tava Vernon Tava was a member of the Waitematā Local Board, Green Party Auckland co-convener and was an electorate candidate for Northcote in 2011. Tava was pitched as an outsider (having never been an MP) and pledged a return to the party’s roots and core values as neither left nor right wing and placing the environment back at the top of party priorities. Result The voting was conducted via an STV vote by 127 party delegates from electorates across the country. The following table gives the ballot results: Post-election Shaw became the Green Party's third male co-leader and joined Metiria Turei in leadership duties. Shaw set himself the goal of making the Greens "more like modern New Zealand" and an ambitious target to expand the party membership to over 20,000. At the time the party had around 6000 members and he wished to double the membership of the party in a year, then double it again the following year. By the time of the 2017 general election, Shaw was the sole Green Party leader; Turei resigned her co-leadership following public scrutiny of her announcement that she had committed benefit fraud in the early 1990s. Hague later admitted that losing was a "blow" and when he was approached by Forest & Bird, he decided to resign from the House of Representatives and take up the CEO role for that organisation instead. His resignation was announced in September 2016. Vernon Tava later quit the Green Party altogether believing the party had lost its way from environmentalism and was becoming "too socialist". He joined the 2017 campaign team of National's East Coast Bays candidate Erica Stanford.

Outline of death The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to death: Death – termination of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. What is death? Death can be described as all of the following: End of life – life is the characteristic distinguishing physical entities having signaling and self-sustaining processes from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased (death), or because they lack such functions and are classified as inanimate. (Death is) the opposite of: Life – (see above) Biogenesis – production of new living organisms or organelles. The law of biogenesis, attributed to Louis Pasteur, is the observation that living things come only from other living things, by reproduction (e.g. a spider lays eggs, which develop into spiders). Fertilisation (Conception) – the beginning of an organism's life, initiated by the fusion of gametes resulting in the development of a new individual organism. In animals, the process involves the fusion of an ovum with a sperm, which eventually leads to the development of an embryo. Birth – act or process of bearing or bringing forth offspring. In mammals, the process is initiated by hormones which cause the muscular walls of the uterus to contract, expelling the fetus at a developmental stage when it is ready to feed and breathe. Commonly considered the beginning of one's life. "First you are born, then you live life, then you die." De-extinction – process of creating an organism, which is a member of or resembles an extinct species, or a breeding population of such organisms. Cloning is the most widely proposed method, although selective breeding has also been proposed. Similar techniques have been applied to endangered species. Though we have not yet brought an extinct species back to life Survival – Survival is simply the need to live, the only real purpose of an organism is to generate offspring Indefinite lifespan – term used in the life extension movement and transhumanism to refer to the hypothetical longevity of humans (and other life-forms) under conditions in which aging is effectively and completely prevented and treated. Their lifespans would be "indefinite" (that is, they would not be "immortal") because protection from the effects of aging on health does not guarantee survival. Such individuals would still be susceptible to accidental or intentional death by disease, starvation, getting hit by a truck, murdered, and so on, but not death from aging, some animals can live forever such as the Turritopsis doohmii jellyfish, or the bowhead whale. Types of death Individual death – termination of all biological functions within a living organism Extinction – death of an entire species, or more specifically, death of the last member of a species Extinction event – widespread and rapid decrease in the amount of life on Earth. Such an event is identified by a sharp reduction in the diversity and abundance of macroscopic life. Also known as a mass extinction or biotic crisis. Human extinction – hypothesized end of the human species. Various scenarios have been discussed in science, popular culture, and religion (see end time) Local extinction (extirpation) – condition of a species (another taxon) that ceases to exist in the chosen geographic area of study, though it still exists elsewhere. Local extinctions are contrasted with global extinctions. Local extinction can be reversed by reintroduction of the species to the area from other locations; wolf reintroduction is an example of this. Causes of death Causes of death, by type Accidents – unplanned events or circumstances, often with lack of intention or necessity. They generally have negative outcomes which might have been avoided or prevented had circumstances leading up to each accident had been recognized, and acted upon, prior to occurrence. An example of a type of accident that can cause death is a traffic collision. List of accident types Biological aging – Disease – Terminal illness Injury Wound Mortal wound Killing – causing the death of a living organism, usually for the purpose of survival, including the defense of self and or others. Predation – Homicide – Murder – killing of a human done in malice Human sacrifice Sacrifice Human sacrifice Animal sacrifice Suicide – act of intentionally causing one's own death. Suicide is often carried out as a result of despair, the cause of which is frequently attributed to a mental disorder such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, alcoholism, or drug abuse. Stress factors such as financial difficulties or troubles with interpersonal relationships often play a role. Efforts to prevent suicide include limiting access to firearms, treating mental illness and drug misuse, and improving economic circumstances. Assisted suicide – Copycat suicide – Familicide – Forced suicide – Honor suicide – Internet suicide pact – Mass suicide – Murder–suicide – Suicide pact – Parasuicide – Suicide attack – Suicide by cop – Capital punishment – legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. The judicial decree that someone is punished in this manner is a death sentence, while the actual enforcement is an execution. Also called the "death penalty". List of methods of capital punishment Genocide – systematic destruction of all or a significant part of a racial, ethnic, religious or national group. Well-known examples of genocide include the Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, and more recently the Rwandan genocide. War – organized and often prolonged conflict that is carried out by states or non-state actors. It is generally characterized by extreme violence, social disruption and an attempt at economic destruction. War should be understood as an actual, intentional and widespread armed conflict between political communities, and therefore is defined as a form of (collective) political violence or intervention. The set of techniques used by a group to carry out war is known as warfare. Laughing oneself to death (extremely rare) – Natural disasters – Avalanches – Earthquakes – Volcanic eruptions – Hydrological disasters – disasters involving bodies of water Floods – Limnic eruptions – Tsunamis – Meteorological disasters – disasters involving weather phenomena Blizzards – Cyclonic storms – Tropical cyclones – Extratropical cyclones – Droughts – Hailstorms – Heat waves – Tornadoes – Wildfires – Epidemics – Space disasters – Impact events – Solar flares – Other classifications of causes of death Causes of death by rate Potential causes of death Global catastrophic risks – Preventable causes of death Effects of death Effects of the anticipation of death Death anxiety – morbid, abnormal or persistent fear of one's own death or the process of his/her dying. One definition of death anxiety is a "feeling of dread, apprehension or solicitude (anxiety) when one thinks of the process of dying, or ceasing to ‘be’". Also known as thanatophobia (fear of death). Mortality salience – Effects on the deceased (and on the cadaver) – "deceased" is short for "deceased person", which is a person who has died and who is therefore dead. A cadaver is the body of a dead person. End of consciousness – a dead body is no longer awake, but there is the question of where consciousness went to, if anywhere... Is there consciousness after death? – there is a debate between proponents of the following possibilities: Eternal oblivion Afterlife Cessation of breathing Cardiac arrest – the heart has stopped beating (no pulse) Pallor mortis – paleness which happens in the 15–120 minutes after death Livor mortis – settling of the blood in the lower (dependent) portion of the body Algor mortis – reduction in body temperature following death. This is generally a steady decline until matching ambient temperature Rigor mortis – limbs of the corpse become stiff (Latin rigor) and difficult to move or manipulate Decomposition – reduction into simpler forms of matter, accompanied by a strong, unpleasant odor. Putrefaction – Other (possible) effects Death erection – Treatment of corpses In the wild Consumed by predators (if those predators made the kill) – a predator is an organism that hunts and then eats its prey Consumed by scavengers – a scavenger is an animal that feeds on dead animal and/or plant material present in its habitat Decomposed by detritivores – detritivores are organisms which recycle detritus, returning it to the environment for reuse in the food chain. Examples of detritivores include earthworms, woodlice and dung beetles. Fossilization Catagenesis In society Embalming Disposal of human corpses Burial Burial at sea Natural burial Sky burial Cremation Preservation of human corpses Cryonics Effects on others Grief – Mourning – Depression – History of death Deaths of people Deaths by year Deaths of philosophers Unusual deaths Disasters by death toll Natural disasters by death toll Wars and anthropogenic disasters by death toll People by cause of death TV actors who died during production Deaths of other species Timeline of extinctions Fascination with death History of dissection Mummification Premature obituaries Philosophy and death Meaning of life Death and culture Death and culture Obituary Death and the Internet Disposal of human corpses Expressions related to death Personification of death – the concept of Death as a sentient entity has existed in many societies since the beginning of recorded history. For example, in English culture, Death is often given the name "the Grim Reaper" and, from the 15th century onwards, came to be shown as a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe and clothed in a black cloak with a hood.

NICASIO “NICK” A. CONTI: Serving with Honor Academic scholar, brilliant lawyer, distinguished public servant, Atty. Nick Conti wishes his fellow San Pascualeños discernment and wisdom in selecting their leaders for the next three years. Nicasio A. Conti is a lawyer who hails from Barangay San Antonio, San Pascual, Batangas who has committed to live a life of public service since 1998. Atty. Nick – as he is commonly called – first served as Legal Consultant in the Office of the Press Secretary of the Philippine Information Agency and the Philippine Heart Center from 2001 to 2002. As he turned 30, he was appointed by former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as Presidential Assistant at the Office of the President and Assistant Secretary at the Office of the Presidential Chief of Staff in 20003 until 2004. During this period, he was the administration’s answer in its early fight against corruption through the Transparency Group, an ad-hoc team he led, created to conduct lifestyle checks on various government officials and employees suspected to be having lifestyles beyond their means. For this, he was recognized as “Outstanding Law Enforcer for 2004” by the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC). Out of his experience in good governance, he authored a primer on corruption entitled “To Serve With Honor”. With him leading the campaign against corruption, he was appointed as Commissioner of the Presidential Anti-Graft Commission from 2004 to 2005 and Commissioner of the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) from 2005 to 2008. After serving at PCGG, Atty. Nick was appointed as Deputy Administrator of the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) in March 2010 until his resignation in October 2015. He also briefly served as Officer-in-Charge of MARINA in April 2012 until May 2013. At this same period, he also served as Board Member of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA). Atty. Nick was instrumental in establishing MARINA as the “Single Maritime Administration” responsible in overlooking the implementation of the Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Convention, through Executive Order No. 75, series of 2012, which was signed by former President Noynoy Aquino. In MARINA, Atty. Nick pursued working on reforms of the “shipping industry” through strict implementation of International Safety Managament Code to push for the Philippines as “registry of choice” to attract foreign “shipyard companies” to invest in the country. Due to his diligent work at MARINA which brought changes in the “Maritime Industry” he was given recognition by the Alliance of MARINA Employees (AME), the Philippine Association of Maritime Institutions (PAMI), the Philippines Association of Maritime Training Centers Inc. (PAMTCI) and the United Filipino Seafarers. Through all his successes – and corresponding recognition for job well done – Atty. Nick is a role model who refused to be discouraged by life’s hard reality and pursued a path centered on prayers and hard work. His perseverance bore fruit when he graduated from High School at St. Theresa’s Academy in Bauan in 1990 as Valedictorian. This paved the way for him to enroll at San Beda College in Manila where he finished Bachelor of Arts, Major Economics in 1994 cum laude and Class Salutatorian. He subsequently enrolled at San Beda’s College of Law and earned his Bachelor of Laws in 1998. Aside from this, he also underwent different studies and training workshops such as “Corruption Studies” at the University of Hong Kong in 2003 as a scholar of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), “Public Reform Course” at the University of Bradford, United Kingdom in 2008 as a scholar of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of United Kingdom, “Maritime Public Leaders’ Programme” at the Nanyang Technical University in Singapore in 2011, “Workshop on National Legal Implementation of the ILO-MLC” in Turin, Italy in 2011, among others. A gentleman of the first order, Atty. Nick is the pillar of the Conti family and of San Pascualeños being the husband of Mayor Roanna Dinglasan Conti who is now considered the “Ina” or mother of the rapidly progressing town of San Pascual. To complement Women’s Journal’s cover feature on San Pascual’s leading administrators, we talked briefly with this intellectual with a quiet charm and genial demeanor. Here are his random thoughts, his words of wisdom culled from experiencing life with family and community. “We all live on borrowed time and because of this I always make sure to spend quality time with my family. I typically start my day joining my children for breakfast before they go to school. A normal work day for me consists of hours spent on meetings with my principals and clients that usually last into the evening. “The Lord has blessed me with a life that exceeded my original goals and ambitions, and I am deeply humbled by this. I have a beautiful and loving wife and healthy children. I cannot ask for more. As far as my professional goals are concerned, I have been always drawn by the calling of public service. I have served the government in various capacities for more than 15 years. I was one of the youngest Assistant Secretaries under the Office of the President during the term of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. I also became a Commissioner of the Presidential Anti-Graft Commission and the Presidential Commission on Good Government. During President Noynoy Aquino’s term, I was appointed Administrator (OIC) of the Maritime Industry Authority. I am only 45 years old and I feel I have so much more to offer to the public. I know God has something planned for me and I am just excited and already looking forward to serving the people in whatever capacity. “Five years from now, I see myself as a successful entrepreneur, a happy and doting father of my kids, and a prime mover of sorts dedicated to serve my community and the country. I perceive myself immersed in major development projects in the country, living up to the expectation of the people I have worked with and am currently working with who see me as an enabler, finisher and somebody capable of bridging gaps and plugging holes. My years in government and extensive experience dealing with people from all walks of life have prepared me well for this. My faith and prayers to the Almighty have strengthened and sustained me. The future appears bright and I am already looking forward to sharing this with my family and my community. “My wife and I were raised in a traditional setting and we have passed on this tradition to our kids. We would hear mass together followed by the much awaited gift opening and a simple dinner to cap off the evening. Christmas is about giving and we always make sure to share our blessings to the less fortunate in our municipality. This is more than just a personal tradition. We do it because we want to help in our own small way. “Health is wealth and nothing is more fulfilling than seeing your loved ones in good health. My only wish for my family is a healthy 2019 free from sickness and disease. I pray to God to grant me a life long enough to be of service to my fellowmen. And for my fellow San Pascualeños, 2019 is election year and I wish for their discernment and wisdom in selecting their leaders for the next 3 years. For our country, I wish for the Holy Spirit to sweep across the entire country and plant in each and every individual’s heart seeds of gratitude and forgiveness.”	2024-07-12T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/9667
Q: Compiling against libusb-dev on Ubuntu I am trying to compile the example libusb.c provided by libusb package (if you dl the source code.) It doesn't work to say the least. #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <libusb/libusb.h> That causes it to fail, there is no libusb/libusb.h it's usb.h, so I change that. And it fails in new and innovative ways. I've copied the file over, exactly, and named it example.c I am using these commands and variations: gcc -o example example.c -lusb -L /usr/lib/libusb.a gcc -o example example.c -lusb -L /usr/lib/libusb.so The errors I get when compiling are: example.c:25: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘’ token example.c: In function ‘main’: example.c:46: error: ‘libusb_device’ undeclared (first use in this function) example.c:46: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once example.c:46: error: for each function it appears in.) example.c:46: error: ‘devs’ undeclared (first use in this function) Line 25: static void print_devs(libusb_device devs) Line 46: libusb_device *devs; At first I followed a tutorial, and that failed to compile, in more or less the same ways, so I decided to just try the provided example, and that failed. Can anyone help me out? Explain what I am doing wrong, cause I am lost on this one. A: This is what I had to do on Debian. It should be at least similar in Ubuntu. Install libusb-1.0-0-dev Instead of: #include <libusb/libusb.h> do: #include <libusb.h> Compile with: gcc example.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags libusb-1.0` A: Just en explanation why your attempt to replace libusb/libusb.h with usb.h fails: usb.h is a header from linux-headers, not from libusb-dev. You need #include <libusb.h> instead.	2023-08-31T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2617
JS Air Flight 201 On 5 November 2010, JS Air Flight 201, a Beechcraft 1900 passenger aircraft on a charter service from Karachi to the Bhit Shah gas field in Sindh, Pakistan, crashed near Karachi's Jinnah International Airport, after suffering an engine malfunction at take-off. All 21 people on board were killed. The investigation by Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority concluded that the primary cause of the accident was the "inappropriate skill level" of the captain in dealing with the malfunction, and more generally the flight crew's non-adherence to the procedures prescribed by the aircraft manufacturer in such abnormal circumstances. Accident The aircraft was chartered to fly 17 personnel of Italian oil and gas company Eni from Jinnah International Airport in Karachi to the Bhit Shah gas field. Three crew members and one airport security guard were also on board. At 01:55 UTC, the flight crew contacted Karachi Ground for take off. The Karachi Ground Controller said "copied JS-201 start up approved runway two five left" which was acknowledged by cockpit crew. The captain cleared the area towards left side and started the Engine No 1. The cockpit crew then requested Karachi Ground for the taxi instruction. After the instruction from Karachi Ground, they conducted a pre-take off checklist. At this point, right engine propeller feathering was checked in manual position. As per procedure, run up checks are supposed to be carried out and the feathering function of both engines is to be checked simultaneously. However, the cockpit crew in this case only checked No 2 engine's feathering mechanism serviceability manually, contrary to the documented procedures. At 02:03 UTC, the plane was cleared for take off. Soon after take off, the right engine went out, and the speed started to decrease slightly. The first officer then put the engine into feathering position. At this stage, it is considered that probably the first officer may have observed partial feathering, due to which he wanted to feather the propeller of engine No 2, which was approved by the captain, but contrary to the documented procedures of no remedial action below 400 ft above ground level. The actual problem being discussed among the cockpit crew was related to No 2 engine, whereas at this stage the captain advised the first officer to inform ATC tower that they had problem with engine No 1 which indicates the confused state of mind and lack of situational awareness on part of the captain. The ATC cleared the aircraft for an emergency landing in Karachi. The cockpit crews later acknowledged. This was the last transmission from the aircraft. The captain later noticed that the first officer was moving the engine No 2 feather control lever and asked him "What are you doing?". The first officer then told the captain that the engine was not feathering. At this point, the speed of the aircraft was 102 knots with increasing pitch attitude and right angle of bank. Then, further reduction in engine sound was observed. Bank angle was increasing due to full power on serviceable engine No 1 and as the power on engine No 1 was reduced, indicated by reduction in engine noise, the right angle of bank started to decrease. At this stage the aircraft was flying at an airspeed close to the stalling speed with landing gears down and at maximum all-up weight. An increase in engine sound occurred and a stall warning sounded until the end of the recording. The captain was heard saying several holy verses from the Quran and "Bismillah (In the name of God)". The ground proximity warning "whoop, whoop" sounded until end of recording. Aircraft The aircraft involved was a twin-turboprop Beechcraft 1900C-1, with Pakistani registration AP-BJD. It was built in 1991 and at the time of the accident had accumulated around 18,000 flight hours. Passengers and crew On board the aircraft were 17 passengers, 2 pilots, 1 technician and 1 security guard. The captain was a Pakistani national born in 1957. He was described as quite religious. He joined the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Academy in Risalpur in 1977 as trainee pilot. During his service career, he flew various training / fighter and light communication aircraft including MFI-17, T-37, FT-5, FT-6, Piper (Seneca-II), Beech Baron, Y-12, Super King (B-200), Cessna-172 and Cessna-402 aircraft. He retired at the rank of squadron leader from PAF in 2003 while accumulating 6,279 hours. He started to fly as first officer in JS Air in June 2006. The captain had accumulated a total flying experience of 8,114 hours. The first officer was a Pakistani national born in 1977. He was given multi-engine aircraft rating on Cessna-402 aircraft on 23 December 2004 after completing all requirements / formalities by CAA Pakistan. He joined JS Air and underwent his Beechcraft-1900 ground and simulator training in the United Kingdom in 2006 and successfully accomplished his training. After completing his flying training at JS Air, he was cleared by CAA Pakistan to fly as co-pilot under supervision in February 2007. The first officer had accumulated a total flying experience of 1,746 hours. Investigation An inquiry was ordered into the crash. No evidence was found of a bird strike, pilot incapacitation, sabotage, in-flight structural failure or fire. The investigation started with the examination on the plane's propellers, as evidence from the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) suggested that an engine failure occurred in mid-flight. Investigators retrieved the propeller from the wreckage and stated that the beta valve in the aircraft may have malfunctioned in mid flight. There are two possibilities of beta valve malfunction: mis-rigging after some maintenance work or fair wear and tear during routine service. Unfortunately, the beta system's integrity and rigging status could not be verified because the propeller governor had been completely consumed in the post ground impact fire. However, it was confirmed from the documented history and the engineering staff that there was neither any reported defect related to the beta system nor was there any scheduled or unscheduled maintenance performed in the recent past. Therefore, the only probable cause of occurrence could be fair wear and tear of the beta valve. However, investigators stated that even if a mid-air engine failure occurred, the pilots still could have returned to the airport safely. If an aircraft had a mid air engine failure in one engine, the plane still could fly. All twin engine aircraft are designed to sustain a safe flight even if one of the engines has failed or is switched off due to any abnormality, provided the emergency handling procedures are correctly followed. Similarly, the Beechcraft 1900C also had the capability to sustain safe flight with single engine operation. This suggests that pilot error maybe the main cause of the accident. Investigators reviewed the CVR data and stated that the pilot may have lacked situational awareness. After experiencing the abnormal engine No 2 operation, at one stage the cockpit crew indicated confusion about the engine No 1 or 2 and subsequently transmitted incorrect information to the ATC Tower that they were experiencing abnormal operation of engine No 1. The first officer was exposed to a serious level of stress and anxiety when he observed the propeller feathering of No 2 (right) engine. The situation was aggravated due to the fact that the auto feathering was selected to "Off" which entailed the cockpit crew to manually manage feathering of the propeller in case of any anomaly. He did communicate to the captain correct information; however, the captain did not register engine No 2 and told him to inform ATC Tower that they were experiencing problem with engine No 1 and FO communicated the same without questioning the captain or correcting himself. He was mentally preoccupied to a level where he could not perform the recommended remedial action. Thus, he did not effectively contribute towards handling of abnormal set of conditions. Investigators checking the captain's flight history discovered that his performance during simulator training check flights remained consistently below acceptable levels. He was not able to safely handle training scenarios during critical phases of takeoff and post-takeoff, and was only able to achieve satisfactory performance levels with coaching during these mandatory exercises. The final report stated that the captain suffered from "lack of confidence" and also revealed that the captain lacked the required proficiency and skills to independently handle aircraft operations with a single functioning engine during critical phases of flight. Investigators concluded that the cockpit crew neither discussed nor raised the landing gear after takeoff. The wreckage also confirmed the landing gear were in the extended position at the time of ground impact. The Beechcraft 1900C aircraft has a very low rate of climb with landing gear in extended position due to increased drag while operating with a single engine. Any banking of the aircraft would aggravate the situation and the marginal rate of climb would degrade into a rate of descent, which happened in this particular case. In December 2015, Pakistan's Safety Investigation Board released their final report stating that the accident was caused by the inability of the captain to handle the abnormal operation of engine No 2 just after takeoff, failure of the cockpit crew to raise the landing gear after experiencing the engine anomaly, and execution of remedial actions by the first officer before the attainment of minimum safe altitude. The crew did not follow standard procedures, lacked situational awareness, displayed poor crew resource management, and handled the anomaly unprofessionally. Aftermath The crash prompted Eni's chief executive Paolo Scaroni to travel to Pakistan with the head of Eni's exploration and production division, Claudio Descalzi. Dawn reported that the crash was "a reminder of the need to constantly review and enforce air safety protocols in Pakistan", though noted that while the country "has generally had a good air safety record" that this crash happened "while memories of the catastrophic Air Blue crash – the worst aviation disaster in the country's history – are still fresh". The Express Tribune also said the crash evoked memories of the previous crash, noting that the coverage was "reminiscent of that of the Airblue crash" because "soon after the crash, images of the site splashed onto TV screens, with bulletin after bulletin giving detailed coverage, implicit with the promise that this tragedy will be investigated and justice will be done".

Mechanical respiration and mechanical breathing assistance are usually used in respiration if the spontaneous breathing of a patient is insufficient or even not present at all. If spontaneous breathing is insufficient, mechanical breathing assistance is often sufficient. The patient must be respirated with a machine in the absence of spontaneous breathing. There are a number of different forms of respiration, in case of both mechanical respiration and mechanical breathing assistance, but they all have in common the fact that a breathing gas stream is fed to the patient to be treated in a controlled manner. One or more therapeutically active substances may also be added to such a breathing gas stream, and these substances can be administered to the patient in this manner by inhalation. Such therapeutically active substances may be, for example, anti-infectious agents, for example, substances with antibacterial action, e.g., antibiotics; substances with antiviral action, or substances with antimycotic action. Immunomodulators or substances for the treatment of the lung surface, for example, artificial pulmonary surfactants, may also be administered. Corresponding substances to be administered are usually transformed into a state in which they are carried by the gas from a liquid or solid, for example, powdered state by means of an atomizer, so that they can be fed as an aerosol into the breathing gas stream. An aerosol is usually defined here as a dispersion of a solid or of a liquid, especially of solid or liquid suspended particles (aerosol particles), in a gas (carrier gas). The aerosol prepared can then be fed into the breathing gas stream and flow together with the breathing gas stream into the patient's airways. For example, so-called “metered dose inhalers” (MDI) are used for atomization. The aerosol particles can reach, for example, the alveoli in the lungs, where they are taken up by the patient via the lung epithelium. Besides the treatments of special pulmonary diseases in adults, the administration of therapeutic active substances to newborn and premature babies in this way is of great interest as well. For example, the administration of surfactant can make a decisive contribution to the treatment of the so-called Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (NRDS). Pulmonary surfactants are developed too weakly in premature and newborn babies who have this disease. This implies the risk that the alveoli of the not yet fully matured lungs collapse in themselves and stick together. The gas exchange area of the lungs can thus decrease considerably, so that respiratory distress syndrome develops. A deficiency of pulmonary surfactants may lead to respiratory distress syndrome (adult respiratory distress syndrome, ARDS) in adults as well. Respiratory distress syndrome can be treated or prevented in both cases by the administration of an artificial surfactant. This artificial surfactant to be administered is typically a phospholipid protein composition, which affects the surface tension at the interface between lung tissue and air in the alveoli. Independently from the administration of therapeutic substances, it is usually necessary during the artificial respiration or breathing assistance of a patient to humidify the breathing gas stream administered in a physiologically adequate manner. This is important to prevent the ciliary epithelium from drying out and an increased risk for pneumonia, which is associated therewith. Moisture is therefore usually fed to the breathing gas stream in a controlled manner. For example, EP 0 535 952 B1 provides for an air humidifier, in which a breathing gas stream is sent through a humidifying chamber having a gas inlet and a gas outlet. The humidifying chamber is arranged above a hot plate, so that the breathing gas stream leaving the humidifying chamber is humidified in a physiological manner and is brought to an adequate temperature. U.S. Pat. No. 3,871,373 also describes a device for humidifying and administering a gas to a patient. The device has a gas line, which delivers oxygen as well as optionally an anesthetic. The gas line has a wall, which may be permeable to water vapor. The device has, furthermore, a water chamber, which extends along a common section with the gas line and through which liquid water is transported. The water chamber is likewise defined by the water vapor-permeable wall, so that the liquid water can evaporate through this wall into the gas line. The oxygen stream flowing through the gas line is humidified in this manner before it reaches the respiratory tract of the patient to be treated. For administering an aerosol to a patient with simultaneous breathing assistance, WO 2012/020004 A1 provides for a device, which comprises a source for a breathing gas, on the one hand, and a source for an aerosol, on the other hand. A so-called aerosol flow, i.e., an aerosol stream, which is led into the device tangentially, i.e., at right angles to the breathing gas stream originating from the breathing gas source, is generated from the aerosol source in this device. This device is used especially to prevent deposits from forming in the device or in the upper airways during the administration of surfactant. Even though it is known in all these solutions that the breathing gas itself is humidified, it is problematic that the part of the stream that carries the therapeutically active substance, i.e., the aerosol, is not humidified or is not humidified sufficiently or cannot be humidified or cannot be humidified sufficiently. In particular, the problem may frequently occur that the therapeutically active substances are present as dry solids before they can be atomized. However, the risk that the substance will form lumps may develop as soon as this dry solid substance comes into contact with moisture, so that the aerosol particles formed become much too large and cannot enter the alveoli of the lungs any longer. The substance may already become stuck in this atomized state in this manner in the worst case. However, there is a risk in both cases that a specific and controlled metering of the therapeutically active substance cannot be ensured any more to the extent at which this is often necessary. Conventional devices, which provide for feeding therapeutically active substances to a humidified breathing gas stream, therefore often fall back on humidification by means of special devices, which is usually expensive and complicated. This may also be associated with the use of a large amount of consumable materials. Provisions may also be made, as an alternative, for eliminating humidifying altogether. However, this does, in turn, lead to the risk that the ciliary epithelium will dry out, which implies an increased risk for pneumonia. Finally, It is also possible to do away with an actually undesired longer duration of administration of therapeutically active substances. However, this does, in turn, imply a marked curtailment of the desired therapeutic possibilities.	2023-09-12T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/7151

Here’s a look at what some of the key figures had to say after the game. The brawl stemmed from an incident in the third inning when Austin slid late into second base and his spikes caught Red Sox second baseman Brock Holt, who had leaned away from the base after receiving the throw from third baseman Rafael Devers. A new chapter was added to the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry Wednesday night when the two teams were involved in a benches-clearing brawl after reliever Joe Kelly drilled Yankees designated hitter Tyler Austin in the back with a fastball in the seventh inning. Tyler Austin, Yankees designated hitter On the slide — “‘I thought there was absolutely nothing wrong with that slide. I had no thought that they were going to throw at me.’’ On the brawl — “I felt like it was intentional, and I didn’t want to let anybody push myself around or do anything like that. That’s why I went out there.” Joe Kelly, Red Sox pitcher On the brawl — “I threw a pitch inside and hit him. It was one of those that got away. The umpire said, ‘Take your base,’ and other things went down.’’ On being charged by Austin – “I was ready to defend myself. Someone comes on my property, in my backyard, I have two dogs . . . If I’m getting attacked I have to defend myself.” On fighting Austin – “I’m a little sore.” Brock Holt, Red Sox shortstop On the slide — “He spiked my leg. He cut it pretty good. I probably said something I shouldn’t have to start the whole thing, so I’m sorry for that. I just wanted him to know that it was a bad slide, and I think everyone on the field knows that it was.” On the fight — “It happened. Typical Red Sox-Yankee game. A four-hour game, a couple of brawls, we’re right on track.’’ “As soon as I saw [Aaron] Judge and [Giancarlo] Stanton coming, I started backing up. I grabbed (flyweight) Ronald Torreyes.’’ On possible retaliation Thursday – “If I get hit I’ll take my base. Hopefully we don’t fight anymore.” Other key figures/voices Christian Vazquez, Red Sox catcher, on further retaliation — “The clubhouse is our home. Let’s protect our home. There will be something soon — if not this series, maybe in New York.” Alex Cora, Red Sox manager, on Austin’s slide — “He overslid it and the spikes were up. Different rules now from back in the day. Holt took exception.” Aaron Judge, Yankees right fielder, on his role in the brawl — “I saw Kelly was on top of Tyler after he tried to tackle him. My job is to just get Kelly up and get him off. That’s about it. “No one ever likes to get hit with 98 (m.p.h.) in the back.” Giancarlo Stanton, Yankees left fielder, on playing peacemaker — “In a fight, in a brawl like that you could have a bunch of guys swinging, you could have guys picking guys out cheap-shoting. Yeah, we’re a good presence but we’ve still got to have eyes in the back of our heads right there.” Aaron Boone, Yankees manager, on Austin’s slide — “To construe that as a dirty play or that you’d be offended by that, I don’t buy that at all.” Brian Cashman, Yankees general manager, on the brawl – “There was no reason for fisticuffs to have to happen based on that slide at second base.” Jerry Remy, Red Sox broadcaster, on baseball’s slide rule – “I didn’t think it was a dirty slide. But under the new rules, they are accustomed to not being touched. This wasn’t brutal. But under today’s stupid rules, I guess it could be considered a double play.’’ Follow Andrew Mahoney on Twitter @GlobeMahoney	2024-01-26T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/9510

Call it the last of the red-hot overhangs. Earlier this week, NPR’s Scott Horsley took note of a curious and counter-intuitive trend in disability claims. For the first time in decades — and a few years after a sharp spike — the number of Americans declaring themselves unable to work have started falling. It’s the last piece of a recovery puzzle that stumped a lot of people who should have known better: During and after the Great Recession, people turned to disability rolls in large numbers to make ends meet. This accelerated what had been going on for a generation, as the federal government’s disability insurance program saw steady growth. But now, for the first time in decades, the disability rolls are shrinking. More people with disabilities are returning to work and holding on to their jobs. With unemployment at a nearly 50-year low, companies are struggling to find workers. And that means people who had trouble finding a job in the past are suddenly in demand. That includes people with disabilities. … It’s still unusual for people to leave the disability program and return to work. Less than 1% of recipients do so each year. But the numbers have been growing as the job market has improved. In 2017 more than 51,000 people traded disability checks for paychecks, up from about 32,000 four years earlier. It’s not like the inflation of disability rolls were a mystery, and yet nearly everyone seemed to forget about them. It began in earnest as the extended unemployment insurance payments began to run out in 2011-12. After a few years of the recovery, economists claimed that the US economy had reached “full employment” based on the U-3 unemployment rate. Yet wages remained flat and personal economies showed little sign of improvement. The same economists began claiming that the normal labor-market wage mechanisms of supply and demand had stopped working and that government intervention on compensation would be required to resolve the problem. What actually happened during those years of “full employment” was that the U-3, and even to some extent the U-6, only measured the people with some attachment to the workforce. The Great Recession created a massive overhang of workers who had exited the workforce in one way or another that mainly escaped measurement. When pointing out oddly low workforce participation measurements, economists would claim that they only showed the exit of retiring Baby Boomers — a factor, to be sure, but clearly not the main story. Those overhangs have begun disappearing in a more robust jobs market, and just as one would predict, wages have begun growing again as demand outstrips supply. That competition explains why, as NPR’s Horsley notes, employers are more willing to make adjustments for disabled workers, allowing them to re-enter the workforce. More of the previously disabled also have more incentives to seek out employment rather than rely on the disability safety nets. That leap of faith speaks volumes about the health of the job market, and of the needs of employers to find people to fill jobs. We may not see the end of the Great Recession overhangs immediately, and it’s still good to remain skeptical about claims of “full employment.” However, we’re back on track to a healthy job market — as long as economic growth continues on its current pace.	2024-06-20T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/9956
Glutathione redox system, GSH-Px activity and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels in tadpoles of R.r.ridibunda and B.viridis. Total glutathione (t-GSH), reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulphide (GSSG) levels, t-GSH/GSSG ratio, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels were investigated during the development period of a predominantly aquatic amphibian R.r.ridibunda and a predominantly terrestrial amphibian B. viridis. While t-GSH and GSH showed a similar trend, GSSG concentration increased significantly (p<0.05) during the larval stages in R.r.ridibunda larvae. In contrast to R.r.ridibunda larvae, there was no significant (p>0.05) change between 1 and 5 weeks in the t-GSH and GSH concentrations of B. viridis. t-GSH and GSH concentrations of B. viridis larvae became sharply elevated after the fifth week, GSSG levels increased 3.25-fold during the metamorphosis. The t-GSH/GSSG ratio fluctuated and the lowest t-GSH/GSSG ratios were observed at the third week for both species. GSH-Px activities for both species increased significantly (p<0.05) during the growing period. The highest GSH-Px activities in R.r.ridibunda and B.viridis were observed at the eighth week and they were 3.45 +/- 0.17 and 4.1 +/- 0.21 IU mg(-1), respectively. The membrane LPO levels in the R.r.ridibunda and B. viridis tadpoles significantly (p<0.001) decreased from 206 +/- 10.3 to 146 +/- 7.3 and from 198 +/- 9.9 to 23 +/- 1.15 nmol MDA g(-1) w.w., respectively.	2024-07-04T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2316
Services Boreham Wood frustrated after Staines Town draw Boreham Wood failed to turn their majority of possession into three points after a frustrating 1-1 draw at home to Staines Town. Two draws against Staines and the narrow defeat to Chelmsford City was a meagre festive period for Ian Allinson's side. Now 11 points behind second placed Welling United, this was Wood's eighth draw in the Conference South, a statistic that means they have just held onto the last play-off place. Again the defence did nothing wrong, excepting losing their shape to concede a cheap equaliser. However the reason for the dip in form is clear for all to see. It took 64 minutes to give Jack Turner in the Staines goal something to think about, which led to the opener. Thereafter he blocked two certain goals, whilst James Russell in the Wood goal was called upon just three times all afternoon, being beaten on one occasion. Wood boss Ian Allinson said: "We need to turn these draws into wins and fast if we are to continue to hold out for a play-off place. Again today we had two superb chances to get our second goal, yet we failed to convert and allowed them back into the game with sloppy defending.” On the balance of play it seemed only a matter of time before the floodgates would open for Wood. However the early goal and its massive boost of required confidence never came. Mauro Vilhete and Omer Riza both found their range early on, denied by defensive blocks, with Riza's effort cleared off the line. Mark Jones was involved in a fine sweeping move and his curling ball forward was met by the head of Riza who headed wide, the Town defence carved open. Vilhete then darted past several challenges into the Swans' penalty area sending a telling low ball across goal which needed only the merest of touches, yet nobody had read the move. Callum Reynolds then back heeled across goal from a Greg Morgan corner but there was no fox in the box available. Vilhete was guilty of running into danger rather than releasing another forward on occasions. The lack of cohesion and understanding in the final third was ultimately the prime factor for dropping two points. Marcus Gayle's decision to replace Max Worsfold with ex-Wood defender and late arrival on the afternoon Jerel Ifil with just 27 minutes played allowed his two wide defenders to push on. It was a brave move given Wood's penchant for counter attacking football, but on this occasion it paid off, stifling the freedom hitherto enjoyed by both Morgan and Vilhete on the flanks. Elliott Godfrey hit the crossbar with Russell beaten after 32 minutes, the ex-Wood player looking the keenest to impress amongst the visitors. Wood finally took the lead midway through the second half when Morgan cut inside from the left, running across the edge of the area before hitting a shot that Turner could only parry. Luke Norris, with his first real contribution of the afternoon, was quick to react and did precisely what centre forwards are primed to do, slotting home to the relief of the Wood fans. Cliff Akurang replaced Riza as Wood looked for the important second goal, but on this occasion the substitution proved fruitless. Mario Noto flashed a shot across goal before Norris' shot was blocked, the ball falling at the feet of Akurang who shot straight at Turner from just six yards. David Wheeler then got a shot off from under his feet which tested Russell at the other end. Turner then scuppered a superb effort from Norris who swivelled in the box before unleashing a shot from eight yards that the shot stopper was equal to. Swans substitute Richard Langley then forced a fine save from Russell from a well struck free-kick that curled over the ramshackle Wood wall, before a lapse in concentration led to the equaliser. A hopeful lob forward from just outside the area appeared to be going out of play, but a Town player hooked the ball off the by line back into the penalty area where defender Sam Page in acres of space was able to plant his free header wide of Russell. The addition of Graeme Montgomery came too late, his injection of quality led to late substitute Rob Hastings heading just wide, before Charlie O'Loughlin ensured Wood held onto a meagre point with some excellent stoppage time defending.

Using chruby I have Ruby 1.8.7 installed on macOS: $ ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2013-06-27 patchlevel 374) [i686-darwin17.4.0] Also, I have used gem update --system 1.8.30 to install a specific version of RubyGems which I am hoping is compatible. This would appear to be installed properly: $ gem --version 1.8.30 However, my RubyGems environment shows the incorrect version of Ruby (2.5.0): $ gem env RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.8.30 - RUBY VERSION: 2.5.0 (2017-12-25 patchlevel 0) [x86_64-darwin17] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /Users/keithpitty/.gem/ruby/1.8.7 - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/ruby - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /Users/keithpitty/.gem/ruby/1.8.7/bin - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86_64-darwin-17 - GEM PATHS: - /Users/keithpitty/.gem/ruby/1.8.7 - GEM CONFIGURATION: - :update_sources => true - :verbose => true - :benchmark => false - :backtrace => false - :bulk_threshold => 1000 - REMOTE SOURCES: - http://rubygems.org/ How can I fix the RubyGems environment to use the version of Ruby that chruby has set? A: My missing step was installing RubyGems 1.6.2 from source. Following advice elsewhere from Dan Cheail, I did the following: curl -O https://rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.6.2.tgz (and then unzipped it) cd rubygems-1.6.2 chruby ruby-1.8.7-p374 ruby setup.rb gem update --system 1.8.25 And then my RubyGems environment was fixed: $ gem env RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.8.25 - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2013-06-27 patchlevel 374) [i686-darwin17.4.0] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /Users/keithpitty/.gem/ruby/1.8.7 - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /Users/keithpitty/.rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p374/bin/ruby - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /Users/keithpitty/.gem/ruby/1.8.7/bin - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86-darwin-17 - GEM PATHS: - /Users/keithpitty/.gem/ruby/1.8.7 - /Users/keithpitty/.rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p374/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - GEM CONFIGURATION: - :update_sources => true - :verbose => true - :benchmark => false - :backtrace => false - :bulk_threshold => 1000 - REMOTE SOURCES: - http://rubygems.org/	2024-06-05T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/5508
Designed by Los Angeles-based studio Techentin Buckingham Architecture, the Los Feliz Residence takes the name of its location – the Loz Feliz neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. The integration of the surrounding landscape was a big part of the architecture, but protection of privacy was even more important. Warren Techentin, the lead architects for this project, built the fascinating dark-cladded residence with vivid green windows framing the foliage transformation throughout the seasons. The description of this beautiful residence explains the architect’s choices: “The house is built on a submerged rock out-cropping, placing the main floor of the house directly at the level of the surrounding tree canopies and the upper level overlooking the neighborhood canopy to the city beyond. But the proximity of the neighboring houses made large openings problematic. Instead, analogous to Dutch theories of “dry” design, diagrammatic form and materiality were used to segment the life of the home into discrete ‘performative boxes’ casually riddled with windows.” The addition of a third floor made the home more spacious. The 3,000 square foot floor plan includes living, entertaining and private spaces built on the base of the former house. By implementing sustainable systems and traditional methods of natural cooling, the residence now features inviting interior and exterior spaces and a beautiful display of art.	2023-08-24T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2946
Ligustilide Ameliorates Inflammatory Pain and Inhibits TLR4 Upregulation in Spinal Astrocytes Following Complete Freund's Adjuvant Peripheral Injection. Ligustilide is a major component of Radix Angelica Sinensis and reported to have anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) has been shown to be expressed in the spinal cord and be involved in inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain. Whether ligustilide can inhibit spinal TLR4 expression in inflammatory pain is still unknown. In the present study, we intravenously injected ligustilide daily for 4 days, with the first injection given at 1 h before complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) injection. We tested the analgesic effect of ligustilide by behavioral test and checked the expression and distribution of TLR4 in the spinal cord by real-time quantitative PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence. Our data showed that repeated daily intravenous treatment with ligustilide alleviated CFA-induced heat hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia. The same treatment also inhibited CFA-induced TLR4 mRNA and protein increase in the spinal cord. Immunofluorescence double staining showed that TLR4 was predominantly expressed in spinal astrocytes. In primary cultured astrocytes, ligustilide dose-dependently reduced lipopolysaccharide-induced upregulation of TLR4 mRNA expression. These data indicate that ligustilide treatment reduces TLR4 expression in spinal astrocytes and is an effective therapy for inflammatory pain.	2024-04-07T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/8521

Wrestling Three Storm Wrestlers Advance to Semifinals at NCAA Regional Matt Vandermeer (Photo by Ryan Baker/Baker Media Productions) Feb 25, 2012 EDMOND, OKLA. – A trio of grapplers reached the championship bracket semifinals and a total of five members of the Lake Erie College wrestling team are still alive after the first day of the 2012 NCAA Division II Super Regional Two Tournament in Edmund, Okla. As a team, the Storm is currently seventh of 11 squads with 35 points. Vargo received a first-round bye as the second-seed at 149 pounds and then won an 8-0 major decision over Nick Sgroi of Belmont Abbey College. Vandermeer, the top seed at 165 pounds, picked up a 16-0 technical fall of Truman University's Joshua Wells and Linden picked up a 5-2 upset of fourth-seeded Kurt Schaefer of Ashland University at 184 pounds to reach the final four round. The other Storm wrestlers still in contention are freshmen Austin Gillihan (Corry, Pa./Corry Area) and Ian Ross (Newark, N.Y./Newark) at 125 and 133 pounds, respectively. Each bounced back from a loss in their first match with a victory in the consolation bracket. The event host, the University of Central Oklahoma, currently leads the team standings with 73 points, 10 ahead of King College.	2024-03-03T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/6145
The secret home office papers published today show the public backlash to the savage sentencing of Richard Neville and the editors of the hippie magazine helped precipitate Scotland Yard's biggest ever anti-corruption drive in which 400 officers, including a deputy assistant commissioner, were imprisoned or left the force. The head of the Metropolitan police's obscene publications squad, who targeted the capital's burgeoning samizdat, also ended up behind bars as had Neville and the magazine's other two editors, Felix Dennis and Jim Anderson. The papers were not due to be made public until 2003 but have been released early under the open government initiative. They show that the then home secretary, Reginald Maudling, was so stung by the accusation that the police were singling out hippie publications such as Oz and the Little Red Schoolbook for prosecution while Soho pornographers were being let off the hook that he ordered a major inquiry. Detective Chief Inspector George Fenwick, then in charge of the "dirty" squad, told Mr Maudling that pornography could not be stamped out because it had existed for centuries, and justified his targeting of Oz and the Little Red Schoolbook as indecent publications which were aimed at children and advocated "the alternative society". Fenwick disputed the home office's claim that the Soho bookshops were operating with impunity. "I would rather question the assertion that pornography was on 'open sale' in Soho or indeed anywhere else in London on a large scale. I would, however, agree that it can be found in various bookshops when it is particulary asked for." Home office civil servants said this weasel explanation "left a good deal to be desired". Detailed allegations were made of police corruption soon after the the Oz inquiry. Fenwick was eventually jailed for 10 years as the "chief architect" of the biggest ever Met corruption ring in which the Soho porn merchants had some of the most senior police officers in Britain on their weekly payroll. The Oz case at the Old Bailey was the longest obscenity trial in British legal history. The original sentences of up to 15 months for Neville and the others sparked a wave of protest from Beatle John Lennon, a young John Birt and many others. The convictions were quashed on appeal only after, it is alleged by Geoffrey Robertson, one of the defence counsels, the lord chief justice, Lord Widgery, sent his clerk, a former merchant seaman, to Soho one lunchtime to buy £20 worth of the hardest porn he could find. The contents of Oz paled in comparison. After the trial Fenwick had to explain to Maudling why he had targeted Oz. In his confidential report dated August 13, 1971, he said: "In this country at the minute there are somewhere in the region of 80 publications which advocate what in the current idiom is called the alternative society. Of these about 25 can be termed 'underground' press and a number of them contain articles which can be described as indecent. "However, by far the worst of these are Oz, Frendz and IT, in that order. These in fact are the only ones against whom action has been taken or indeed contemplated in the last 12 months." He said that alongside these "underground" publications so-called sex instructional literature had emerged, including the Little Red Schoolbook, Curious, In Depth, New Directions and Forum - later to feature articles by Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's press secretary. "All have been the subjects of inquiry or prosecution by this department during the past year. It is an unfortunate fact of life that pornography has existed for centuries and it is unlikely that it can ever be stamped out." He disputed that pornography was on open sale and complained that the way the law was drafted made his task impossible: "The police cannot act as 'buyers' and so lay themselves open to allegations of 'agent provocateur'. It must therefore be left to the purveyors of filth to make a mistake or the odd genuine complaint to come to hand." Fenwick blamed the director of public prosecutions for lack of action and the press for giving massive publicity to the hippie cases and leaving the impression the police were doing nothing about Soho. Fenwick's explanation set alarm bells ringing in the home office. Anxieties were reinforced when an anonymous "senior Yard man" was quoted in the London Evening News saying the Oz trial would not herald a new crackdown on porn as it would take too much manpower: "One can go into Soho today and see far worse pornography than was in the Oz magazines. Any child can buy it." So when Matthew Oliver, an investigator for Lord Longford's unofficial inquiry into pornography, later that year produced allegations against seven named porn merchants who were bribing police officers, the home secretary demanded a full report. The inquiries initially came up against a wall of silence. But in February 1972 the head of the Scotland Yard flying squad, Commander Kenneth Drury, was revealed to have just spent a two-week holiday in Cyprus with James Humphreys, one of seven named porn barons. Drury claimed they were looking for Ronnie Biggs, the escaped train robber. But investigations ordered by the new Met commissioner, Robert Mark, finally unveiled the systemic corruption at the heart of the police. Four years later Mr Justice Mars-Jones named Fenwick as the "chief architect" and sentenced him to 10 years' imprisonment.	2024-05-07T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/8712
Application of mesocellular siliceous foams (MCF) for surface-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS) Analysis of fingermarks. Recent advances in nanotechnology applied in forensic sciences have contributed to consider new approaches including chemical evaluation of latent fingermarks. Significant improvement to the detection of small organic molecules has been reached with matrix-free methods associated to laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. The present study investigated the application of mesocellular siliceous foam (MCF) as an ionizing agent for laser desorption/ionization (LDI-MS) analysis of fingermarks as a proof of concept research. Fingermarks from three different donors were deposited directly onto a MALDI target plate and α-CHCA matrix solution, MCF ethanolic suspension or MCF/magnetic powder mixture were used for treatment. Microscopy characterization of MCF support showed particles with irregular morphology and variable sizes, and a unordered porous surface with pores diameter ranging from about 10 to 20 nm. Results showed less intense peaks in the spectra produced by the MCF support (control). Analysis of fingermarks showed ions related to endogenous and exogenous molecular components, including possible lipids from human sebum and quaternary ammonium cations commonly present in cosmetics. Promising and reproducible results were obtained for the fingermarks dusted with the MCF/magnetic powder mixture. Considering the forensic applications of nanomaterials for the analysis of small molecules in biological samples by matrix-free LDI techniques, the advantages of silica based materials should be further investigated.	2023-12-10T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/9273

Fuel delivery systems for direct injection and port injection applications, such as, for example, fuel-injected engines used in various types of on-road and off-road vehicles, typically include one or more fuel rails having a plurality of fuel injectors associated therewith. In such applications, the fuel rails include a plurality of outlet openings in which injector sockets or cups are affixed. The fuel injectors are inserted into and coupled with the injector cups so as to allow for the fuel flowing in the fuel rail to be communicated to the fuel injectors. The fuel communicated from the fuel rail to the fuel injectors is then communicated to the combustion chamber of the engine. Accordingly, in these arrangements the fuel injectors are sandwiched between the fuel rail and a corresponding cylinder head of the engine. Conventional fuel injector cups generally take one of two forms. The first is normally used in low-pressure port fuel injection applications. This type of injector cup is typically stamped and includes a flange or ears that act as an attachment for retention clips that are used to retain the fuel injector within the fuel injector cup. The second is normally used in high-pressure direct injection applications. This type of injector cup is typically cast or forged and then subjected to secondary machining processes to create precise sealing surfaces for injector o-rings, as well as internal and/or external features for mating with the injector clip, for example. Cast or forged cups, as opposed to stamped cups, are utilized in direct injection applications due to the force generated by the relatively high amount of pressure (i.e., on the order of 10-20 MPa or more) that is applied to the injector/injector clip/fuel injector cup interface in such systems. One drawback of cast/forged cups is that secondary machining processes or operations have to be performed on the cup to create the necessary surfaces and/or features required to allow for the sealing of the system and the retention of the injector within the cup. This secondary machining results in additional manufacturing steps, and therefore, complexity and cost, being added to the manufacturing process. Therefore, there is a need for a fuel delivery system that will minimize and/or eliminate one or more of the above-identified deficiencies.	2023-10-17T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2495
No Plans For 'Voyager' Movie The latest edition of the Cinescape Insider newsletter features a snippet from an upcoming 'Son of Sequel Mania' Cinescape special, looking at the future of Star Trek. One question many people are asking is whether Voyager will follow the example set by the Next Generation and make the jump to the big screen. Of course, whether this is possible or not is largely dependant on the final outcome of the series - do they get home or not. As with so many questions revolving around the future of Star Trek, the people in the know arenít very forthcoming. "At the big [TV critics'] press conference," Robert Picardo (The Doctor) told the magazine, "Rick Berman was asked that question and was, as usual, totally evasive. But he said there were possibilities that all or some of the Voyager characters would appear in a future film. However," Picardo adds, "I think the sense I got from his answer was that there are no current plans at all for that, that they were just keeping their options open." Kate Mulgrew (Janeway), too, is in the dark. "They haven't precluded the notion of a Voyager movie, nor have they established it. I think they need to see how the next series goes and what happens in the wake of the Voyager finale." More of the interview can be found in the latest edition of the Cinescape Insider, subscribable to on the Cinescape Online main page, while the full article, along with reports on numerous other sequels in production at the moment, is only available at selected newsstands or via special order from Cinescape.

[Prognosis of epidermoid anal carcinoma regression after conservative treatment]. The prospective study was concerned with definition of the clinical and therapeutic factors behind poor response of anal cancer to radio- (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Out of 64 female and 8 male patients at the mean age of 57 (33-81), thirty six had split-course of 60-65 Gy (RT), twenty--60-65 Gy, 5-FU and mitomycin C (CRT) and eighteen--up to 55-65 Gy (1.5 Gy--session 1, 1.0 Gy--session 2) (hyper-fractionated RT) plus 5-FU, for squamous cell anal carcinoma. There was no endorectal ultrasound evidence of perirectal lymph node involvement (uN0): T1-2uN-M0 (n=46), T3-4uN0M0 (n=11), uN1 or N2-3 (groin or endorectal ultrasound: T1-2uN-M0 (n=46), T3-4uN0M0 (n=11), uN1 or N2-3 (groin metastases) were detected in 7 patients: T1-2uN1-2M0 (n=7), T3-4N1-3M0 (n=10). Endorectal ultrasound staging (ERUS) used a linear 7.5 MHz transducer. The uTNM system was devised on the basis of tumor invasion parameters. There were no tumors confined to the subendothelial layer of the anal canal (uT1); 24 (32.4%) tumors were confined to the internal anal sphincter (uT2); 19 (25.7%) invaded the external anal sphincter (uT3) and 31 (41.9%)--levator ani (uT4). All carcinomas T4 (n=9) corresponded to the uT4 category. Only T-stage and tumor invasion (uT) proved significant prognostic variables. Complete response of T1-2 was 79.2%, T3-4--33.3% (p=0.0003); uT2--95.8%, uT3--68.4%, and uT4--41.9% (except T4) (p=0.0001). In multivariate logistic analysis, uT alone appeared an independent variable (p=0.015). ERUS uTNM staging is more effective in prognosis for RT and CRT and, therefore, should be recommended for preliminary management of epidermoid anal carcinoma.	2023-09-19T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/1311

In the sense of its temperature. It was by no means cool, man. After World War II, there were basically two big geopolitical powers left to divide up the world. And divide they did. The United States and the Soviet Union divvied up Europe in the aftermath of the war, and then proceeded to spend the next 45 years fighting over the rest of the world. It was the great ideological struggle, with the US on the side of capitalism and profit, and the USSR pushing Communism, so-called. While both sides presented themselves as the good guy in this situation, the reality is that there are no good guys. Both parties to the Cold War engaged in forcible regime changes, built up vast nuclear arsenals, and basically got up to dirty tricks. If you had to pick a bad guy though, I would point out that the USSR had no intention of bringing Laika the Cosmonaut Dog home alive. That poor dog never had a shot.

Panel 5: What Happens to Post-Cold War Geopolitics in a World of ‘Long and Low.’ If interest and inflation rates are likely to remain long and low for the foreseeable future, what impact will this have on the Dollar-Centered order? What other sources of volatility are out there to upset the applecart? How does power politics get redrawn in such a world? Panelists: Adam Tooze (Columbia), Jan Fitchner (University of Amsterdam), Herman Schwartz (University of Virginia), Jonathan Kirshner (Cornell University) ______________________________ The current global financial order, which was placed into sharp focus by the swap lines initiated by the US Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial crisis, is an American order. Despite generating trillions of debt and demonstrating a truly dysfunctional politics, the US continues to be the leader, lender, and the preferred asset issuer of last resort for the global economy. But how long can this state of affairs continue? One school of thought suggests that it can continue indefinitely, given the lack of alternative safe assets, the depth and liquidity of US markets, and the desire of foreign wealth holders to buy safety in the form of US assets. And yet things continue until they don’t. Due either to its own domestic dysfunctions, or to its international entanglements, the ‘barbelling’ of risk that US has been able to play, whereby US investments earn a higher risk premium abroad while foreign investors hold US assets as security for a lesser return may come to an abrupt end sooner than many commentators think. If the US suffers real capital losses on its assets abroad, if the global economy continues ‘long and low’ into negative territory, of if other major players grow tired of America’s dysfunctions, then the dollar order may become less attractive over time, prompting the rise of alternative assets and new institutional arrangements. This conference seeks to address these topics by answering three questions. First, how stable, if not “anti-fragile’ to use Nassim Taleb’s term of art, is the US order? Second, will the ongoing political crisis and economic recession in the Eurozone, and geopolitical tensions in East Asia, prolong or threaten the US order? Third, is there a new geopolitics emerging underneath this financial system, and if so, what does it look like? War War is a state of armed conflict between societies. It is generally characterized by extreme collective aggression, destruction, and usually high mortality. The set of techniques and actions used to conduct war is known as warfare. An absence of war is usually called "peace". Total war is warfare that is not restricted to purely legitimate military targets, and can result in massive civilian or other non-combatantcasualties. While some scholars see war as a universal and ancestral aspect of human nature, others argue that it is only a result of specific socio-cultural or ecological circumstances. In 2013 war resulted in 31,000 deaths down from 72,000 deaths in 1990. The deadliest war in history, in terms of the cumulative number of deaths since its start, is the Second World War, from 1939 to 1945, with 60–85 million deaths, followed by the Mongol conquests which was greater than 41 million. Proportionally speaking, the most destructive war in modern history is the War of the Triple Alliance, which took the lives of over 60% of Paraguay's population, according to Steven Pinker. In 2003, Richard Smalley identified war as the sixth (of ten) biggest problem facing humanity for the next fifty years. War usually results in significant deterioration of infrastructure and the ecosystem, a decrease in social spending, famine, large-scale emigration from the war zone, and often the mistreatment of prisoners of war or civilians. Another byproduct of some wars is the prevalence of propaganda by some or all parties in the conflict, and increased revenues by weapons manufacturers. Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but 1947–91 is common. The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides, although there were major regional wars, known as proxy wars, supported by the two sides. The Cold War split the temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany, leaving the USSR and the US as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences: the former being a single-party Marxist–Leninist state operating a planned economy and controlled press and owning exclusively the right to establish and govern communities, and the latter being a capitalist state with generally free elections and press, which also granted freedom of expression and freedom of association to its citizens. A self-proclaimed neutral bloc arose with the Non-Aligned Movement founded by Egypt, India, Indonesia and Yugoslavia; this faction rejected association with either the US-led West or the Soviet-led East. The two superpowers never engaged directly in full-scale armed combat, but they were heavily armed in preparation for a possible all-out nuclear world war. Each side had a nuclear deterrent that deterred an attack by the other side, on the basis that such an attack would lead to total destruction of the attacker: the doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD). Aside from the development of the two sides' nuclear arsenals, and deployment of conventional military forces, the struggle for dominance was expressed via proxy wars around the globe, psychological warfare, massive propaganda campaigns and espionage, rivalry at sports events, and technological competitions such as the Space Race. World War III World War III (WWIII, WW3 or the Third World War) is a hypothetical worldwide military conflict subsequent to World War II. Because of the development and use of nuclear weapons near the end of World War II and their subsequent acquisition and deployment by several countries, it is feared that a third world war could cause the end of human civilization and most or all human life on Earth. A common hypothesis is that a small number of people could survive such an Armageddon, possibly in deep underground blast shelters or away from Earth, such as on the Moon or Mars or in space vehicles. Another major concern is that biological warfare could cause a very large number of casualties, either intentionally or inadvertently by an accidental release of a biological agent, the unexpected mutation of an agent, or its adaptation to other species after use. One of the first imagined scenarios, hypothesized shortly after or even during World War II, was a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union, which emerged as superpowers following World War II. This has been widely used as a premise or plot device in books, films, television productions, and video games. A few writers have instead applied the term "World War III" to the Cold War, arguing that it met the definition of a world war even though there was no direct armed conflict between the superpowers. In a theological context, world usually refers to the material or the profane sphere, as opposed to the celestial, spiritual, transcendent or sacred. The "end of the world" refers to scenarios of the final end of human history, often in religious contexts.

It was by no means cool, man. After World War II, there were basically two big geopolitical powers left to divide up the world. And divide they did. The United States and the Soviet Union divvied up Europe in the aftermath of the war, and then proceeded to spend the next 45 years fighting over the rest of the world. It was the great ideological struggle, with the US on the side of capitalism and profit, and the USSR pushing Communism, so-called.

Panel 5: What Happens to Post-Cold War Geopolitics in a World of ‘Long and Low.’ If interest and inflation rates are likely to remain long and low for the foreseeable future, what impact will this have on the Dollar-Centered order? What other sources of volatility are out there to upset the applecart? How does power politics get redrawn in such a world? Panelists: Adam Tooze (Columbia), Jan Fitchner (University of Amsterdam), Herman Schwartz (University of Virginia), Jonathan Kirshner (Cornell University) ______________________________ The current global financial order, which was placed into sharp focus by the swap lines initiated by the US Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial crisis, is an American order. Despite generating trillions of debt and demonstrating a truly dysfunctional politics, the US continues to be the leader, lender, and the preferred asset issuer of last resort for the global economy. But how long can this state of affairs continue? One school of thought suggests that it can continue indefinitely, given the lack of alternative safe assets, the depth and liquidity of US markets, and the desire of foreign wealth holders to buy safety in the form of US assets. And yet things continue until they don’t. Due either to its own domestic dysfunctions, or to its international entanglements, the ‘barbelling’ of risk that US has been able to play, whereby US investments earn a higher risk premium abroad while foreign investors hold US assets as security for a lesser return may come to an abrupt end sooner than many commentators think. If the US suffers real capital losses on its assets abroad, if the global economy continues ‘long and low’ into negative territory, of if other major players grow tired of America’s dysfunctions, then the dollar order may become less attractive over time, prompting the rise of alternative assets and new institutional arrangements. This conference seeks to address these topics by answering three questions. First, how stable, if not “anti-fragile’ to use Nassim Taleb’s term of art, is the US order? Second, will the ongoing political crisis and economic recession in the Eurozone, and geopolitical tensions in East Asia, prolong or threaten the US order? Third, is there a new geopolitics emerging underneath this financial system, and if so, what does it look like? 1:41:51 War, Geopolitics and History Conflict in the Middle East A Public talk with Robert Fisk War, Geopolitics and History Conflict in the Middle East A Public talk with Robert Fisk War, Geopolitics and History Conflict in the Middle East A Public talk with Robert Fisk Subscribe to our Free Financial Newsletter: http://crushthestreet.com First time guest delivers a powerful take on the US & World economy including recent geopolitical (war) tensions affecting the metals, stocks and interest rate fears.

More countries will get entangled in the Syrian Civil War, but we will also see a reemerging Turkey. The Saudi-Iranian rivalry will reach new heights and Israel will have to rethink its geopolitical position. Further North in Russia, the low oil prices will force Moscow to push hard for economic reforms. Financial changes will also occur in Europe, where many nations will struggle with their economies, which in turn will inspire the rise of nationalism. However, there are also exceptions such as Switzerland, where are important referendum could trigger a financial revolution. In this prognosis, we will go over the most likely diplomatic, economic and military outcomes for Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia in 2016. In Part 2, the prognosis will continue in East Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

Panel 5: What Happens to Post-Cold War Geopolitics in a World of ‘Long and Low.’ If interest and inflation rates are likely to remain long and low for the foreseeable future, what impact will this have on the Dollar-Centered order? What other sources of volatility are out there to upset the applecart? How does power politics get redrawn in such a world? Panelists: Adam Tooze (Columbia), Jan Fitchner (University of Amsterdam), Herman Schwartz (University of Virginia), Jonathan Kirshner (Cornell University) ______________________________ The current global financial order, which was placed into sharp focus by the swap lines initiated by the US Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial crisis, is an American order. Despite generating trillions of debt and demonstrating a truly dysfunctional politics, the US continues to be the leader, lender, and the preferred asset issuer of last resort for the global economy. But how long can this state of affairs continue? One school of thought suggests that it can continue indefinitely, given the lack of alternative safe assets, the depth and liquidity of US markets, and the desire of foreign wealth holders to buy safety in the form of US assets. And yet things continue until they don’t. Due either to its own domestic dysfunctions, or to its international entanglements, the ‘barbelling’ of risk that US has been able to play, whereby US investments earn a higher risk premium abroad while foreign investors hold US assets as security for a lesser return may come to an abrupt end sooner than many commentators think. If the US suffers real capital losses on its assets abroad, if the global economy continues ‘long and low’ into negative territory, of if other major players grow tired of America’s dysfunctions, then the dollar order may become less attractive over time, prompting the rise of alternative assets and new institutional arrangements. This conference seeks to address these topics by answering three questions. First, how stable, if not “anti-fragile’ to use Nassim Taleb’s term of art, is the US order? Second, will the ongoing political crisis and economic recession in the Eurozone, and geopolitical tensions in East Asia, prolong or threaten the US order? Third, is there a new geopolitics emerging underneath this financial system, and if so, what does it look like?

The Saudi-Iranian rivalry will reach new heights and Israel will have to rethink its geopolitical position. Further North in Russia, the low oil prices will force Moscow to push hard for economic reforms.

It was by no means cool, man. After World War II, there were basically two big geopolitical powers left to divide up the world. And divide they did. The United States and the Soviet Union divvied up Europe in the aftermath of the war, and then proceeded to spend the next 45 years fighting over the rest of the world. It was the great ideological struggle, with the US on the side of capitalism and profit, and the USSR pushing Communism, so-called.

Whitman Hospital and Medical Center, is a small public hospital in Eastern Washington State. It serves as an acute care hospital and medical service center for several small communities and rural farm families throughout its 1,200 square mile Hospital District. Whitman Hospital and Medical Center has always tried to meet the health care needs in its region; however, with the fast pace of newly discovered treatments, procedures, etc., rural hospitals are often a few steps behind modern medicine. There is a great need for quick and easy access to current medical information because they are nearly 70 miles away from a large medical library. The objectives of the "Information Access for Rural Health Care" project are: 1. Provide a means by which health care professionals can quickly access current information on medical diagnosis and treatments through the use of a computer link with the National Library of Medicine data base. 2. Medical staff will receive training and ongoing support in on-line searches and document request. 3. Medical staff will have easy access to a computer linked to the National Library of Medicine, which encourages continuing education and research. 4. Improved and expanded service to rural and community residents. 5. Reduce the risk involved with uncommon and unusual health care situations.

Q: Functional programming functions using 2 lists in D If I have 2 lists: list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4]; list2 = [10, 25, 35, 58]; and I want to get a list which has products of corresponding elements of 2 lists; In Python one can do: outlist = list(map(lambda a,b: ab, list1, list2)) However, in D, I know of following method: import std.stdio; void main(){ auto list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4]; auto list2 = [10, 25, 35, 58]; int[] outlist; foreach(i, item; list1){ outlist ~= itemlist2[i]; } writeln(outlist); } My questions are: Q1: Can one keep both lists as argument of foreach? Q2: How to multiply corresponding elements of 2 lists using map function? Thanks for your insight. A: The key is to use zip to combine the elements of the two lists (or dynamic arrays as they are known in D) to a single array of tuples before applying map or foreach. The tuple elements can be accessed with a zero based index (i.e. a[0] and a[1] in this example). import std.algorithm.iteration : map; import std.range : zip; import std.stdio : writeln; void main() { auto list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4]; auto list2 = [10, 25, 35, 58]; // Question #2 auto list3 = zip(list1, list2).map!(a => a[0] * a[1]); writeln(list3); // Question #1 typeof(list1) list4; foreach(a; zip(list1, list2)) { list4 ~= a[0] * a[1]; } writeln(list4); } The code above prints twice: [10, 50, 105, 232] as expected.	2024-04-12T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2148
This invention relates to a catalyst for the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons, which may or may not be saturated, to oxygen-containing organic compounds. More particularly, the invention relates to a catalyst for the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons to oxygen-containing compounds, such as the oxidation of n-butane to maleic acid anhydride. The invention further relates to a process for the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons, which may or may not be saturated, to oxygen-containing organic compounds. Finally, the invention also relates to the preparation of such a catalyst. According to the prior art, n-butane is oxidized to maleic acid anhydride with a good selectivity in the presence of catalysts containing vanadium oxide and phosphate. Suitable catalysts can be prepared in two different manners. In both cases, the starting material is vanadium(V), whereafter the vanadium(V) is reduced to vanadium(IV), whereafter phosphate is added. According to the first method, hydrochloric acid is added to the solution of vanadium(V), whereafter at elevated temperature the vanadium is reduced with hydrogen chloride to form chlorine. According to the second method, work is done in an organic solvent, such as for instance i-butanol. At elevated temperature the organic solvent reduces the dissolved vanadium(V) which is subsequently stabilized by reaction with the dissolved phosphate. In general the selective oxidation is carried out with an excess of oxygen. To prevent the formation of explosive mixtures, generally a content of 1.5 vol. % n-butane in air is worked with. Typical is a conversion of about 90% of the n-butane present in the feed, which is converted to maleic acid anhydride with a selectivity of about 60%. To realize such a conversion, the temperature of the catalyst bed must be maintained at about 400.degree. C. Naturally, with such an exothermic reaction the temperature in the catalyst bed will increase; generally, a higher final temperature leads to a poorer selectivity with a higher conversion. About 50% of the n-butane supplied then becomes available as maleic acid anhydride with the current technical implementation of the process. Customarily, the oxidation reaction over the vanadium, phosphorus and oxygen-containing catalysts is carried out by passing the reactants through the reactor once, a so-called `once through` process. One of the most important limitations of this process, which uses a fixed catalyst bed, is that only an n-butane concentration of 2 vol. % at most can be used; higher n-butane contents may lead to explosions. To increase the yield of maleic acid anhydride, recently other embodiments of the process have been proposed. One of the successful newly proposed embodiments is a fluidized bed reactor. It is then possible, without danger of explosions, to increase the concentration of the n-butane in the feed to substantially the stoichiometric value. As a result, the productivity per unit volume of the reactor increases, which leads to lower investment costs. (GB-A 2,145,010). A fluidized bed reactor has still other advantages, viz. a markedly improved dissipation of the reaction heat, so that areas having locally a high temperature are effectively avoided. Although a fluidized bed process is economically and technically attractive, the selectivity of the catalytic oxidation is lower at higher n-butane concentrations, while moreover a (highly) wear-resistant catalyst must be used. In particular in the case of vanadium-phosphate-oxygen catalysts, the production of a wear-resistant catalyst is a difficult task. It is known from EP-A 189,621 that the efficiency of the conversion to maleic acid anhydride can be increased by employing two separate reaction steps. The two reaction steps are carried out in separate reactors or in separate sections of a single reactor. In this case, n-butane, preferably in the absence of molecular oxygen, is contacted with the oxidized catalyst. After reaction with the lattice-oxygen present in the catalyst, whereby maleic acid anhydride is formed with a good selectivity, the residual butane and the product formed are removed, and the catalyst is passed into a reoxidation zone, where the catalyst is reoxidized with air oxygen. Since the reduction and the oxidation of the catalyst take place in separate reactors, a more concentrated n-butane stream can be used. Moreover, in such a circulating fluidized bed, the heat transfer proceeds faster than in a fixed catalyst bed, so that the temperature is better controllable. Selectivity of up to 90% has been reported for the use of this process with two separate catalytic reactors. Although the yield of maleic acid anhydride is markedly increased, the catalyst developed for this process has two shortcomings. Because the conventional vanadium-phosphorus-oxygen catalyst is not wear-resistant, a new catalyst had to be developed, whose individual catalyst bodies are covered with a porous layer of silicon dioxide. On the one hand, this porous layer reduces wear, but, on the other hand, the inert porous layer limits the transport of reactants and reaction products. Moreover, the surface/volume ratio of the vanadium-phosphorus-oxygen constituent in the newly developed catalyst is relatively low, as in the conventional catalysts. To obtain a useful conversion of n-butane, large quantities of catalyst have to be recirculated per kilogram of maleic acid anhydride. In the literature it has been published that per kilogram of catalyst only about 2 g maleic acid anhydride is obtained. It appears from the above-described prior art that there is a great need for a better catalyst in order to overcome the drawbacks of the current vanadium-phosphorus-oxygen. In general, wear-resistant catalysts in which the catalytically active component has a high surface area to volume ratio are obtained by providing the active component on a so-called support. Such a support is a highly porous, thermostable material, on the surface of which the active component or components are provided in more or less finely divided form. Commercially, a wide variety of preformed support bodies are available; it is therefore easy to select a suitable support with the necessary wear-resistance and a desired pore distribution. If the active component or components are provided on a support selected on the basis of the process in which the catalyst is to function, a catalyst meeting often conflicting requirements is readily obtained. In spite of the fact that the vanadium-phosphorus-oxygen has already been employed on a technical scale for over a decade and in spite of the fact that the shortcomings of the current catalyst have been suitably recognized, efforts to prepare a satisfactory supported vanadium-phosphorus-oxygen catalyst have been unsuccessful to date. The selectivity of the supported vanadium-phosphorus-oxygen catalysts prepared heretofore was invariably found to be unacceptably low. This is the reason that alternatives have been searched for. The first possibility has already been mentioned above, viz. the provision of a porous layer of wear-resistant silicon dioxide on porous particles of the vanadium-phosphorus-oxygen catalyst. Another method of preparing an improved catalyst is described in the above-mentioned GB-A 2,145,010. There a mixture of the oxides of vanadium and phosphorus is treated with an acid, preferably phosphoric acid or hydrochloric acid, the material thus obtained is mixed with zirconium dioxide or titanium dioxide, and the suspension obtained is subsequently spray-dried. Wear-resistant bodies of dimensions of from 3 to 10 .mu.m are then obtained. It will be clear that neither of the methods leads to catalysts where the active component is provided on (highly) porous support bodies in finely divided form. An important disadvantage of the known catalysts based on vanadium, phosphorus and oxygen (VPO) is, moreover, the requirement that the catalysts must possess a specific structure to obtain the desired activity and selectivity. A first object of the present invention is to provide a suitable catalyst for the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons, which catalyst is less dependent on the structure of the active component and which moreover requires no special measures for increasing its usefulness in various more modern oxidation processes.	2024-03-06T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/3121
Current trend At the end of the week, the Canadian Dollar has been trading mixed against the US Dollar. Having reached new local lows on Wednesday, the pair has started correcting up amid the statements made by the Federal Reserve officials. The results of the recent Bank of Canada monetary policy meeting had a high impact on the market. However, it should be noted the Canadian currency started strengthening some time after the results were released. As expected, interest rates were kept unchanged at 0.5% as commodity markets instability affects the process of Canada’s economic recovery. At the same time, the regulator revised up its forecast for 2016 that can be explained by the recent growth in oil prices. Support and resistance Bollinger Bands on the daily chart is directed down while the price range is getting narrower. MACD is slightly growing and still keeping its sell signal. Stochastic is in the oversold zone and trying to turn up indicating the possibility of an upward correction in the short term. The indicators recommend waiting for clearer trading signals. Support levels: 1.2800, 1.2744 (13 April low), 1.2700 (mid-July 2015 level), 1.2650.

Trading tips Long positions can be opened after the price rebounds at the level of 1.2800 (with appropriate indicators signals) with the target at 1.3000 and stop-loss at 1.2740. Short positions can be opened after the level of 1.2744 is broken down with targets at 1.2650, 1.2600 and stop-loss at 1.2800. Current trend At the beginning of the trading week, the GBP/JPY pair has been correcting amid expectations of important macroeconomic releases. Data on adjusted merchandise trade balance is due in Japan on Wednesday. Analysts predict the indicator will grow from 242.8 billion to 834.6 billion. Thus, Japan is expected to post a trade surplus of almost 600 billion that will have a positive impact on the economy and the national currency. Moreover, attention needs to be paid to data on unemployment in the UK. An expected decline in the Claimant Count Change will support the country’s economy and strengthen the Pound. If the indicator remains unchanged or grows, the Pound is likely to come under pressure, and the GBP/JPY pair can substantially weaken. Support and resistance On the daily chart, the pair is trading between the middle and the lower MAs of Bollinger Bands. MACD histogram is in the negative zone and is giving a weak buy signal. Stochastic is falling in the middle of its range. In general, the indicators are giving a weak sell signal. Support levels: 151.81, 149.92, 147.93, 145.08.

On Monday the GBP/USD pair opened with a gap up at 1.4462 and then corrected down to the level of 1.4420. Support and resistance The price range of Bollinger Bands is widening. The pair broke out the upper MA but then returned into the range and may continue moving down towards the middle MA of the indicator. Current trend Yesterday the pair resumed its fall after some strengthening in the previous week. The Euro was pressured by weak data from Germany where the IFO Business Climate in April fell from 106.7 to 106.6 points, while experts predicted a growth to 107.0 points. Furthermore, the IFO Expectations came out worse than forecasts as well amounting to 100.4 points. * At the same time, the Yen remains under pressure prior to the Bank of Japan Interest Rate Decision. According to expectations, the Japanese regulator could proceed with further monetary policy easing. Support and resistance Bollinger Bands on the daily chart is moving horizontally while the price range is widening. However, the price is trading above its upper border thus indicating the possibility of a downward correction. MACD is growing and giving a buy signal. Stochastic continues growing while in the overbought zone. The indicators recommend waiting for clearer trading signals. Support levels: 125.00 (local low), 124.22, 123.57 (21 April low), 123.06, 122.54, 122.07, 121.71 (18 April low). Resistance levels: 125.53 (local high), 126.16, 126.62, 127.30, 128.21 (31 March high), 128.75. Trading tips Long positions can be opened after the breakout of the level of 125.53 with targets at 126.16, 126.62 and stop-loss at 124.70. Validity – 2-3 days. Short positions can be opened after the breakdown of the level of 125.00 with the target at 123.00 and stop-loss at 125.53. Validity – 2-3 days. Current trend Yesterday the pair continued falling amid the publication of poor macroeconomic statistics in the US. Durable Goods Orders grew by 0.8% while economists forecasted a 1.8% growth, while the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices grew by 5.4% that was also worse than forecasts. In addition, the Consumer Confidence fell to 64.2 points, against the forecasted 96.0 points. Today extra attention needs to be paid to the US Fed Interest Rate Decision. According to forecasts, there will be no changes in monetary policy. Support and resistance On the 4-hour chart, the pair is trading in the lower Bollinger band, while bands are directed down and widening. MACD histogram is in the negative zone, giving a sell signal. Stochastic is giving a buy signal. Current trend The pair continues growing amid weakening in the US Dollar, which was slightly pressured by yesterday’s Fed Interest Rate Decision. As was expected, the rate remained unchanged. The statement, however, did not contain any hints on its possible increase at the July meeting. At the same time, employment in the US keeps growing that will later accelerate wages and inflation growth. In addition, strengthening oil prices will increase inflationary pressures as well. Therefore, the possibility of the next interest rate hike in the nearest term is quite high. Support and resistance The pair continues trading in the ascending channel. The nearest support level is at 1.1295. The nearest resistance level is at 1.1342. Trading tips Long positions can be opened from the level of 1.1342 with the target at 1.1386 and stop-loss at 1.1325. Current trend The New Zealand Dollar was significantly supported by the RBNZ decision to keep its key interest rate unchanged at the current 2.25%, which allowed the pair to strengthen by more than 180 points. In addition, the pair was supported by today’s data on the ANZ Business Confidence. In March, the index grew from 3.2 to 6.2 points. Today attention also needs to be paid to data on Personal Income and Personal Spending in the US. According to forecasts, indices will grow that might support the US Dollar. Support and resistance On the 4-hour chart, the pair is growing along the upper MA of Bollinger Bands. MACD histogram is in the positive zone and its volumes are growing. Stochastic is falling after it has left the overbought zone. Trading tips Long positions can be opened from the level of 0.7000 with targets at 0.7040, 0.7070 and stop-loss at 0.6980. Validity – 1-3 days. Short positions can be opened from the level of 0.6960 with targets at 0.6915, 0.6885 and stop-loss at 0.6980. Validity – 1-3 days. Current trend Last week the pair significantly fell amid the publication of weak data on the Consumer Price Index in Australia. In the first quarter, the index fell by 0.2% while economists forecasted a 0.3% growth. At the same time, the pair was supported by today’s data on TD Securities Inflation from Australia that showed a 0.1% growth in the index. Today attention also needs to be paid to data on the Markit and ISM Manufacturing PMI’s from the US. Data above the forecasts might support the US Dollar. Support and resistance On the 4-hour chart, the pair is trading in the upper Bollinger band. MACD histogram is in the negative zone and its volumes are almost not changing. Stochastic is growing.

Current trend Yesterday the pair significantly fell amid the publication of weak statistics on manufacturing production in China. In addition, the pair was pressured by today’s labour market data from New Zealand, where the Unemployment Rate grew from 5.3% to 5.7% while economists predicted a growth to 5.5%. Today attention also needs to be paid to data on the ADP Employment Change and Trade Balance in the US. According to forecasts, the trade balance deficit will shrink to 41.5 billion USD, while the number of employed will amount to 196 thousands. The data could provide additional support to the US Dollar. Support and resistance On the 4-hour chart, the pair is falling along the lower MA of Bollinger Bands. MACD histogram is near the zero line. Stochastic is turning up in the oversold zone. Trading tips Long positions can be opened from current prices with targets at 0.6930, 0.6960, 0.6980 and stop-loss at 0.6870. Validity – 1-2 days.

The American currency was supported by favorable macroeconomic statistics, released in the US in the afternoon. In particular, the US trade deficit shrank from $47.00 billion to $40.40 billion, exceeding the forecast of $41.50 billion. Moreover, ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI was up from 54.7 to 55.7 points. On Friday dynamics in the pair can be influenced by data on Unemployment Rate and Nonfarm Payrolls, due in the US. Support and resistance On the 4-hour chart, the pair is correcting at the upper MA of Bollinger Bands. The indicator is directed horizontally while the price range is widening. MACD histogram is in the negative zone; its volumes are falling. The indicator is forming a buy signal. Stochastic has turned down in the overbought zone.

Current trend Yesterday the price of Brent crude oil corrected up and tested the level of 46.67, but could not consolidate above it. The price was supported by news that forest fires in Canada curbed its oil production. Today extra attention needs to be paid to data on the Non-farm Payrolls that is due in the US at 2:30 pm (GMT+2). Growth in the index might support the US Dollar and pressure oil prices. Support and resistance On the 4-hour chart, MACD histogram is in the negative zone and its volumes are growing. Bollinger bands are directed down suggesting the downward tendency will continue. Trading tips Short positions can be opened after the price consolidation below the level of 44.00 with targets at 43.00, 42.00 and stop-loss at 44.65. Long positions can be opened after the price consolidation above the level of 46.00 with targets at 47.00, 48.00 and stop-loss at 45.35. The rate of the pound rapidly fell against USD in the end of the previous week dropping by 230 points. The pair closed trading at the level of 1.2808 which is the lowest closing price in the previous four weeks. The fall of GBP was caused by the polls taken in view of the upcoming UK election. The positions of the conservative wavered after Manchester events. Last week the price failed to overcome an important level of 1.3030 which would have given the “bulls” an additional impulse. Today is a holiday in the UK and USA, therefore no activity in the market should be expected due to low liquidity. This should keep the pair GBP/USD within the narrow range and in the consolidation regime. In the USA FOMC statement on the interest rate was more cautios than expected. The regulator pointed out that the increase of interest rates will depend on the information received by it. Therefore the release of the data on the nonfarm payrolls schedulled in the end of the week shall determine yet another direction for USD. The pound, in turn, may be under pressure in view of the news about another referendum in Scotland on its exit from the UK in case of the victory of the dominant party at the election on June 8. Short positions may be opened from the level of 1.2790 with target at 1.2700 and stop-loss at 1.2820. Long positions may be opened from the level of 1.2850 with targets at 1.2900 and stop-loss at1.2820. The period of implementation is 2-5 days. The growth of Canadian dollar strengthened after the decision of the Bank of Canada on the interet rate made last week. As a result the pair reached its six-weeks minimum from which upward correction (purple trend line) started. Right now the movement of the pair is hindered by a stronger trend line — the blue one. The price is likely to meet it between the levels of 1.3535 and 1.3600. Today the dynamics of the pair may be influenced by the important data from Canada and the USA. The data on the Canadian trading balance and raw materials prices index are due at 14:30 (GMT+2). The information on personal income and expenditure will be published in the USA at the same time. The most likely scenario for today is the continuation of the pair’s growth. Long positions may be opened at the market price with targets at 1.3535, 1.3600 and stop-loss at 1.3430. Alternatively, sell positions may be opened from the level of 1.3426 with targets at 1.3400, 1.3315 and stop-loss at 1.3456. The period of implementation is 1-2 days. Yesterday the dynamics of the pair USD/CHF was determined by negative values of oth currencies. After Swiss index of leading economic indicators for May appeared to be wore than expected, the pair moved up from the narrow two-weeks flat. But weak data on the consumer confidence index from the USA returned the price of the pair back to the range indicating that it was falsely broken through. ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment is due today in Switzerland at 10:00 (GMT+2). PMI Chicago will be published at 15:45 (GMT+2). The data on incompleted sales transactions in the US real estate market is due at 16:00 (GMT+2). FOMC Beige Book Economic Review is due at 20:00 (GMT+2). * *Support and resistance Short positions may be opened at the market price with targets at 0.9700, 0.9640 and stop-loss at 0.9780. Alternatively, buy positions may be opened from 0.9780 with targets at 0.9850, 0.9930 and stop-loss at 0.9740. The key event of the previous day was the speech of Janet Yellen before the US Congress. The head of FOMC pointed out positive tendencies in the US economy and stated the regulator was planning to increase interest rates before the end of the year. Yellen’s comments did not lead to considerable strengthening of USD, but the pair of NZD/USD dropped without consolidating above the resistance level of 0.7350 that it has been trying to break out for two years. Today New Zealand published the data on industrial PMI. The fall of the value from 58.5 to 56.2 basis points and the comments by the head of FOMC may lead to the reversal of the instrument today. Friday is rich in macroeconomic data from the USA. Statistics is expected to be positive for the US currency and this will put considerable pressure on the pair. Support and resistance On the D1 chart the instrument moved from the resistance level of 0.7330. Bollinger Bands have corrected sideward, while the price range has slightly broadened indicating the continuation of the current trend. MACD histogram is in thee positive zone maintaining a weak buy signal. Stochastic is approaching the oversold zone. Short positions may be opened at the current price with targets at 0.7275, 0.7250 and stop-loss at 0.7340. The period of implementation is 1-2 days. Long positions may be opened from the level of 0.7345 with target at 0.7395 and stop-loss at 0.7320. The period of implementation is 1-2 days. On the H4 chart the price failed to consolidate below the level of 1.1400 (correction 23.6%) but may resume attempts in the near future. Breaking through the level of 1.1400 near the crossing with the line of the upper fan at 38.2% and the 23.6% curve may lead to further correction to the level of 1.1345 (correction 23.6%, middle line of Bollinger Bands for D1). An important level for the “bulls” is 1.1487. After consolidating above it, the pair may enter long-term growth. On the D1 chart the price remains within the upper trend and is testing the level of 1.1470. After breaking through it, the pair may continue growing to 1.1540 and 1.1600. Otherwise it may fall to the levels of 1.1340 (middle line of Bollinger Bands and correction 38.2% for H4) and 1.1255 (correction 23.6%). Gradual growth may continue as Stochastic is trying to reverse upwards. Main scenario Buy positions look more preferable, but they should be opened after the price consolidates above 1.1470 with targets at 1.1540 and 1.1600. Stop-loss should be placed at 1.1420. Alternative scenario Sell positions may become relevant after the price consolidates below 1.1400 with targets at 1.1340, 1.1255 and stop-loss at 1.1450.	2024-03-10T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/4719
Thionucleotides in mammalian tRNA are synthesized at the polynucleotide level, by the transfer of sulfur from cysteine to acceptor sites in the newly synthesized tRNA molecule. We have characterized the rat liver enzyme which catalyzes this reaction. We also found that while DAB-induced hepatomas contain a similar tRNA sulfurtransferase activity, differences existed in specific thiobases produced by the liver and tumor enzymes. We propose to further investigate these enzymes using several approaches. First, the enzymes will be purified from rat liver and then hepatomas, to free them of enzymes which compete for cysteine in our assay system. Hopefully, the activity will become stable at some stage of purification, thus facilitating later work. Secondly, sulfurtransferases will be purified from other tumors to gain a more general understanding of the state of these enzymes in cancer tissues. Finally, the isolated rat hepatocyte system is being developed to study thionucleotide synthesis in intact cells. This system offers the advantages of providing many cells of one cell type, and allows several variables to be manipulated using cells from a single liver. We have shown that the thionucleotides from hepatocytes are the same as those produced by tRNA sulfurtransferase. Hence, we should be able to use the hepatocyte system to identify the in vitro thionucleotides. The goal of these studies is to learn the relationship between thionucleotide synthesis and growth, both normal and abnormal.

Before SLOVITER, RENDELL, Circuit Judges, and DEBEVOISE, District Judge.* OPINION OF THE COURT SLOVITER, Circuit Judge. 1 The issue before us is whether Petitioner's motion to vacate his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 is "second or successive" under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 ("AEDPA") where the District Court had previously granted Petitioner's § 2255 motion restoring his right to file a direct appeal. After Petitioner was unsuccessful on his direct appeal, he filed the § 2255 motion which is the subject of the appeal before us. This court has not previously addressed this issue. Six other courts of appeals have considered the issue and are divided, with the majority concluding that such a motion is not second or successive for purposes of AEDPA. We turn to the facts of the case before considering the legal issue. I. BACKGROUND 2 In 1998, a federal grand jury charged Ilori Olabode with one count of conspiracy in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, one count of bank fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1344, forfeiture pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 982(a)(2)(A) and aiding and abetting in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2. Using false names, Olabode and his co-conspirators obtained licenses to operate fictitious businesses, opened commercial accounts at various banks, deposited counterfeit checks and made cash withdrawals. Olabode made deposits totaling $166,662.58 and withdrew $36,000 in cash before the banks discovered the scheme. 3 Olabode pled guilty to the conspiracy charge on November 30, 1998 pursuant to a written plea agreement. The District Court dismissed the remaining counts of the indictment and granted the Government's motion for a downward departure based upon Olabode's substantial assistance in the investigation of another person. On June 25, 1999, the District Court sentenced Olabode to six months imprisonment and three years supervised release, and ordered him to pay restitution in the amount of $36,000 and a $100 special assessment. Olabode's prison term expired on December 22, 1999 and he is being detained at an INS detention facility.1 4 On May 9, 2000, Olabode, proceeding pro se, filed a motion to vacate his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, alleging that his counsel failed to file a direct appeal as he requested. Pursuant to this court's decision in United States v. Miller, 197 F.3d 644 (3d Cir.1999), the District Court notified Olabode that under AEDPA, he must include all of his potential claims in his § 2255 motion, and gave him 30 days to inform the court whether he wished to supplement his motion. Olabode did not respond. However, the Government conceded that there was merit to his claim that counsel failed to file a direct appeal. 5 On July 26, 2000, the District Court granted Olabode's § 2255 motion and stated that it would resentence him to allow the filing of a notice of appeal. It appointed the Defender Association of Philadelphia, Federal Court Division to represent Olabode. Defense counsel subsequently informed the District Court by letter that he had reviewed the record, that he found "no additional grounds for habeas relief" and that he was ready to proceed with the resentencing. Supp.App. at 13. On January 11, 2001, the District Court reimposed the original sentence. Olabode filed a notice of appeal on January 12, 2001. 6 On direct appeal, Olabode claimed that the District Court had improperly delegated the setting of the restitution schedule to the probation office. The Government agreed that a remand was warranted. This court remanded the case to the District Court to impose a restitution schedule. On February 15, 2002, the District Court ordered a schedule of payments fixed at $1.00 per year while Olabode was confined at the INS detention center. 7 On March 15, 2002, Olabode filed another pro se motion to vacate his sentence pursuant to § 2255, alleging that trial counsel misrepresented the terms of the plea agreement and that the evidence was insufficient to support his guilty plea. The District Court transferred the motion to this court as an application for authorization to file a second or successive § 2255 motion to the extent Olabode claimed counsel was ineffective during the guilty plea colloquy and sentencing, and denied the motion on the merits to the extent Olabode claimed counsel rendered ineffective assistance on appeal. Olabode has not appealed the latter ruling. This court appointed counsel to represent Olabode and directed the parties to address whether a subsequent § 2255 motion is second or successive when a prior § 2255 motion was limited to an effort to reinstate the right to file a direct appeal. An amicus brief was filed on behalf of the Community Defender Organization for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the Federal Court Division of the Defender Association of Philadelphia, the Federal Defender Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, the Federal Defender Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania, the Federal Defender Office of New Jersey, the Federal Defender Office of Delaware, the Federal Defender Office for the Virgin Islands, and the National Association of Federal Defenders. Amici argue that Olabode's § 2255 motion is not second or successive. II. JURISDICTION AND STANDARD OF REVIEW 8 This court has jurisdiction over a motion for authorization to file a second or successive motion to vacate sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 2244, 2255. We review issues of statutory interpretation de novo. Kapral v. United States, 166 F.3d 565, 567 (3d Cir.1999). III. DISCUSSION 9 The passage of AEDPA effected many changes in the law regarding applications for collateral relief in the federal courts. Significant among those changes was the new limitation of a prisoner's ability to file more than one collateral challenge. Previously, the courts could dismiss a second or subsequent collateral attack on a conviction if the court believed it constituted an "abuse of the writ." McCleskey v. Zant, 499 U.S. 467, 494, 111 S.Ct. 1454, 113 L.Ed.2d 517 (1991). AEDPA, however, has imposed a much more stringent rule. Once the defendant has completed a direct appeal, the prisoner may file one collateral challenge as a matter of course provided it is timely. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255. 10 Thereafter, a prisoner's ability to file a second or successive application for collateral relief is limited. Before a second or successive § 2255 motion may be filed in the district court, the applicant must move in the appropriate court of appeals for an order authorizing the district court to consider the motion. 28 U.S.C. §§ 2244(b)(3)(A), 2255. Authorization may be granted only if the motion contains "(1) newly discovered evidence that, if proven and viewed in light of the evidence as a whole, would be sufficient to establish by clear and convincing evidence that no reasonable factfinder would have found the movant guilty of the offense; or (2) a new rule of constitutional law, made retroactive to cases on collateral review by the Supreme Court, that was previously unavailable." Id. § 2255. Notwithstanding the specificity of many of the provisions of AEDPA, it does not define what constitutes a "second or successive" motion, the necessary predicate for application of these provisions. 11 Olabode argues that the § 2255 motion that he filed after his resentencing is not second or successive because he filed his first § 2255 motion to reinstate his right to a direct appeal after his counsel failed to file a notice of appeal. He notes that a defendant whose counsel filed a timely direct appeal would be able to file a § 2255 motion thereafter. He maintains that it would be unjust to require him to use his one § 2255 motion to reinstate a right that he would have had if counsel filed an appeal as he requested. 12 Olabode's argument is supported by the amici curiae who contend that, as a matter of statutory construction, because a § 2255 motion seeks "to vacate, set aside or correct the sentence," 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (emphasis added), a second or successive motion would have to be second or successive to another § 2255 motion challenging the same order imposing sentence. Olabode's § 2255 motion at issue challenges a different order than did the first motion; correspondingly, the notice of appeal was taken from the latter sentencing order dated January 11, 2001, and not the first sentencing order dated June 25, 1999. 13 The amici curiae also argue that as a matter of policy the direct appeal should occur before a collateral attack is made because only issues not raised or raisable on direct appeal can be addressed in a § 2255 motion. They state that a direct appeal gives the defendant an opportunity to evaluate with counsel the claims that may be raised in a § 2255 motion. Like Olabode, amici curiae argue that this approach places the defendant in the position he would have been in had the notice of appeal been timely filed. 14 The Government argues that the better view is that such a motion is second or successive except with respect to claims which relate to the direct appeal. It contends that the statute does not provide for the exception that Olabode seeks, and emphasizes that the District Court in this case notified Olabode that he was required to present all of his claims in his first motion. See Miller, 197 F.3d 644. In response to the argument that the § 2255 motion at issue corresponds to the new sentencing order, the Government contends that the entry of the new sentence was a ministerial act, that the original sentence was not changed in any way and that Olabode's claims relate to events predating that sentence. 15 The Government argues in response to the amici curiae's policy arguments that requiring a defendant to present all of his claims in his § 2255 motion seeking to reinstate his appeal is not unfair because he has no right to collateral review and the grounds for collateral relief are limited. It contends that the rule urged by Olabode and the amici curiae will treat some petitioners differently because those petitioners whose motions to reinstate their appeals are denied will not be able to file a second § 2255 motion without seeking authorization from the court of appeals. 16 This issue was most recently considered by the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in McIver v. United States, 307 F.3d 1327 (11th Cir.2002). McIver filed a motion pursuant to § 2255 alleging that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to file a notice of appeal and seeking the right to file a direct appeal. The district court granted the motion and entered a new judgment of sentence, thereby allowing the defendant to file a timely notice of appeal. McIver's conviction and sentence were affirmed on direct appeal and he then filed a § 2255 motion challenging his conviction and sentence. The district court dismissed the motion as a second or successive application for post-conviction relief that could not be filed without the permission of the court of appeals. 17 The court of appeals reversed. It ruled that the motion was not second or successive, explaining that the defendant's motion does not attack the judgment at issue in his earlier § 2255 motion but attacks the new judgment that was entered to permit his direct appeal. Id. at 1330. It stated that the first motion sought only the opportunity to prosecute a direct appeal and did not seek to have the conviction overturned or sentence vacated. Id. The court noted that some collateral challenges do not render subsequent motions second or successive, such as those that follow dismissal of a first motion for failure to exhaust state remedies, those that are unripe or those dismissed because the defendant failed to pay the required filing fee. Id. at 1330-31. Finally, the court explained that this approach restores the defendant to the position he would be in had his lawyer filed a timely notice of appeal. Id. at 1331. 18 The same approach was taken by the court of appeals in In re Goddard, 170 F.3d 435 (4th Cir.1999). There, the district court had granted the defendant's § 2255 motion based on the defendant's claim that counsel failed to file a direct appeal despite his request to do so. After the defendant's subsequent direct appeal was denied, the defendant filed another § 2255 motion alleging ineffective assistance of counsel at sentencing. The district court dismissed the motion, concluding this § 2255 motion was "second or successive" and that the defendant needed the prior authorization of the court of appeals. 19 In deciding that the defendant did not need its authorization to file the § 2255 motion in the district court, the majority opinion of the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reasoned that the defendant would not be fully restored to the position that he would have been in had his lawyer filed a timely appeal if his subsequent § 2255 motion is considered to be second or successive. Id. at 437. The court stated that a prisoner who uses his one § 2255 motion to regain his constitutional right to a direct appeal will not have a full and fair opportunity to wage a collateral attack, and that requiring the defendant to raise all of his claims in his first § 2255 motion forces him, without counsel, to make the objections to his conviction that his lawyer would have made for him on direct appeal and subjects these claims to a more stringent standard of review. Id.2 20 The Courts of Appeals for the Seventh and Tenth Circuits also have concluded that a § 2255 motion filed after the reinstatement of the right to a direct appeal is not second or successive. See Shepeck v. United States, 150 F.3d 800, 801 (7th Cir. 1998) (per curiam) (concluding that an order granting a § 2255 motion and reimposing sentence because counsel failed to file a direct appeal "resets to zero the counter of collateral attacks pursued"); United States v. Scott, 124 F.3d 1328, 1330 (10th Cir.1997) (per curiam) ("[B]ecause of the unique situation presented when the granting of the prior [§ 2255] motion merely reinstated the right to a direct appeal, the first subsequent motion is not a second or successive motion under AEDPA."); see also Vasquez v. Parrott, 318 F.3d 387 (2d Cir.2003) (holding habeas petition was not second or successive where first petition did not attack conviction but alleged due process violation due to delay in adjudication of direct appeal in state court). 21 The opposite conclusion has been reached by two courts of appeals. In United States v. Orozco-Ramirez, 211 F.3d 862 (5th Cir.2000), the court agreed with the district court that its grant of the defendant's § 2255 motion enabling him to file a direct appeal which his attorney had failed to protect should be counted as a first § 2255 motion. Therefore, the defendant who filed another § 2255 motion seeking to vacate his conviction and sentence after his sentence was affirmed on direct appeal sought a second or successive § 2255 motion which required court of appeals authorization. In affirming, the court of appeals distinguished the decision in Stewart v. Martinez-Villareal, 523 U.S. 637, 118 S.Ct. 1618, 140 L.Ed.2d 849 (1998), where the Supreme Court held that a § 2255 motion was not second or successive where it presented a claim that had been dismissed as premature when it was raised in a prior § 2255 motion. The Orozco-Ramirez court noted that in Stewart the defendant could not have raised the claim in his first motion but Orozco-Ramirez could have included his claims when he filed his initial § 2255 motion seeking reinstatement of his right to appeal. 211 F.3d at 869. The court applied principles of res judicata to conclude that the second motion was second or successive under AEDPA. Id. at 871. The court did allow the defendant to pursue claims arising out of the direct appeal, id., as did the District Court in this case. 22 A similar approach was taken by the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Pratt v. United States, 129 F.3d 54 (1st Cir.1997). It concluded that the defendant was required to present all of his available claims in his initial § 2255 motion seeking reinstatement of his right to a direct appeal. Id. at 61. The court rejected the defendant's arguments that presenting all of his claims would have been premature because he had yet to pursue a direct appeal and that the second motion attacked a different judgment than his initial motion. Id. at 61-62. It explained that the defendant had an incentive to include all of his claims in his initial motion because he could not predict whether the district court would grant it based upon the claim that counsel failed to file a timely appeal. Id. at 61. Because the defendant had the incentive and ability to raise his other claims in his first motion, the court held that the standard practice of entering a new judgment when an appeal is reinstated did not support that the second motion was not "second or successive." Id. at 62. 23 The position taken by the minority of the courts of appeals to have considered the issue is not unreasonable but ultimately unpersuasive. The purpose of Olabode's resentencing was to put him back into the position that he would have been in had his attorney filed a notice of appeal. It was not until Olabode filed his subsequent § 2255 motion that he sought to vacate, set aside or correct his sentence. Allowing Olabode to pursue his direct appeal and then raise any remaining collateral claims in a § 2255 motion ensures the orderly administration of direct and collateral proceedings. See Kapral, 166 F.3d at 572 (noting defendants should conclude direct review before commencing § 2255 proceedings). 24 This result is consistent with the Supreme Court's decision in Stewart, 523 U.S. 637, 118 S.Ct. 1618, 140 L.Ed.2d 849. The defendant in that case filed several habeas petitions that were dismissed for failure to exhaust state remedies. After exhausting state remedies, he filed a habeas petition raising various claims, including a claim that he was incompetent to be executed. The district court addressed the claims on the merits with the exception of the incompetency claim which it dismissed as premature. After the state obtained a warrant for the defendant's execution, the defendant moved to reopen his incompetency claim. The district court ruled that it lacked jurisdiction over the motion and the defendant moved in the court of appeals for permission to file a successive habeas petition. The court of appeals held that authorization was not required. Id. at 641, 118 S.Ct. 1618. 25 The Supreme Court agreed, holding that the petition was not second or successive because the claim was not ripe at the time of the first petition. Id. at 643, 118 S.Ct. 1618. It compared the claim to one that has been dismissed for failure to exhaust state remedies and explained that a dismissal for technical procedural reasons does not bar the defendant from obtaining habeas review. Id. at 645, 118 S.Ct. 1618. Although Olabode's initial motion was not dismissed on technical procedural grounds, it was granted so that he could pursue a direct appeal, a step that should be taken prior to collaterally attacking a sentence. Like the situation where a habeas petition has been dismissed for failure to exhaust state remedies, when Olabode filed his subsequent motion the District Court had yet to adjudicate any claims challenging his conviction or sentence.3 Accordingly, we agree with the majority of the other courts of appeals that have addressed this issue and hold that Olabode's § 2255 motion is not second or successive under AEDPA as Olabode's first § 2255 motion merely sought reinstatement of his right to a direct appeal. 26 In Christy v. Horn, 115 F.3d 201, 208 (3d Cir.1997), we held that when the prisoner's prior petition was dismissed for failure to exhaust state remedies, it did not count as a first petition. We reasoned that "[t]he problems that the abuse of the writ doctrine seeks to avoid are not implicated when a petition is filed after a prior petition is dismissed for lack of exhaustion." Id. at 208. Similarly here, when the first petition merely sought the right to file a direct appeal, there was no abuse of the writ.4 IV. CONCLUSION 27 For the reasons discussed above, we will vacate the order of the District Court transferring Olabode's § 2255 motion to this court for authorization to file it pursuant to § 2244 and remand for further proceedings. Notes: * Honorable Dickinson R. Debevoise, Senior Judge, United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, sitting by designation 1 This case is not moot, because Olabode may suffer the collateral consequence of deportation as a result of his conviction 2 The dissenting judge was of the position that requiring a defendant to raise all collateral claims in the first motion is not unfair because he has no right to counsel or a more favorable standard of review in a § 2255 proceedingId. at 441. This is essentially the position of the Government in this appeal. 3 Our conclusion also comports withSolis v. United States, 252 F.3d 289 (3d Cir.2001), holding that where a defendant claims in a § 2255 motion that his attorney failed to file a direct appeal, the defendant is entitled to an evidentiary hearing on the matter unless the claim is conclusively contradicted by the record or patently frivolous. The court remanded the case for a hearing and denied without prejudice the other claims raised in the § 2255 motion. The court further stated that "[i]n the event the Petitioner presents another § 2255 petition, it shall be deemed his first filed petition." Id. at 295. 4 The Government has submitted a letter pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 28(j) calling to our attention this court's recent decision inUnited States v. Barnes, 2003 WL 1467580 (3d Cir. March 24, 2003). It states that this decision is consistent with its view that a § 2255 petitioner must raise all claims in an initial petition. A review of the procedural posture of Barnes shows that it is not precedential authority for the Government's position here. Barnes, who filed a § 2255 claiming trial counsel was ineffective in failing to file a timely appeal, was advised by the district court to raise all his claims for relief in one § 2255. Barnes withdrew his earlier § 2255 and refiled it raising other claims in his § 2255 motion in addition to the claim that counsel failed to file a direct appeal. The district court in Barnes granted the § 2255 motion on the claim that counsel failed to file an appeal and took Barnes' other claims under advisement. It entered a new judgment of conviction and sentence. When Barnes then filed his direct appeal and an appeal from an order denying bail, we sua sponte questioned whether the district court's order was final because it had reserved the § 2255 claims. In holding that we had jurisdiction over the direct appeal, we commented that although ordinarily a § 2255 motion is filed after the completion of a direct appeal, the district court, by holding Barnes' § 2255 claims under advisement and allowing an appeal from the judgment of conviction, replicated that procedure as far as possible. Although the Government correctly notes that we further stated that Barnes "was constrained to raise all of his section § 2255 issues in his first motion," the issues of whether a defendant must raise all of his claims in a § 2255 motion seeking reinstatement of the right to a direct appeal and whether a subsequent § 2255 motion would be "second or successive" were not squarely before the court and the court's comment was, at most, dictum. Barnes, 324 F.3d 135, 2003 WL 1467580, at *2. The issue we raised in that case was our jurisdiction. We do not regard the court's passing statement as binding precedent in a case where the issue is not squarely raised.	2023-10-17T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/8431

A: The return type of an event handler should be void: private void webClient_OpenReadCompleted(object sender, OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e) { There's nothing at the other end to receive the return data. A: This webClient.OpenReadCompleted += webClient_OpenReadCompleted; is just registering an event. It doesn't actually run that line of code when the event exicutes.

Image copyright Bettmann Image caption Jewish refugees aboard the MS St Louis ocean liner wave as it docks in Antwerp, Belgium Canada's PM Justin Trudeau has apologised for his country's role in turning away a ship carrying over 900 Jewish refugees fleeing persecution. In 1939, German liner the MS St Louis sailed to Havana, Cuba, but that country's government refused them entry, although they had visas. The US and Canada also blocked them, denying the passengers safe haven. The ship was forced to return to Europe and 254 of the refugees later died in Nazi concentration camps. Addressing Canada's parliament, Mr Trudeau spoke of how the Liberal government of the day "was unmoved by the plight of these refugees". "The government chose to turn its back on these innocent victims of Hitler's regime," he said. Canada's refusal was indicative of its restrictive rules towards Jewish immigration at the time. "Bitter resentment towards Jews were enshrined in our policies," said the prime minister on Wednesday. Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Gerald Granston was a six-year-old passenger on the SS St Louis During the 12-year Nazi regime in Germany, from 1933 to 1945, Canada accepted fewer Jewish refugees than any other Western nation. A senior Canadian immigration official, asked during the war about how many Jews would eventually be considered for entry into Canada, had a now infamous response: "None is too many." Mr Trudeau called Wednesday's formal recognition of the historic wrongdoing "a long overdue apology". "We are sorry for the callousness of Canada's response, we are sorry for not apologising sooner." Shimon Fogel, with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, told the BBC that the acknowledgment is "important to achieve closure and recognition of a particularly dark chapter in Canadian history". He hopes recognition of these types of historic wrongs will help ensure better policies during the current global period of upheaval and increased migration. The federal apology also comes in the wake of the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, an attack motivated by anti-Semitism. The alleged gunman, Robert Bowers, is accused of killing 11 Jewish worshippers on 27 October. He has pleaded not guilty. American authorities have called the attack on the synagogue the worst anti-Semitic incident in US history. Mr Trudeau touched on the tragedy as he condemned ongoing anti-Semitic attitudes in Canada and around the world. "This was heinous anti-Semitic act of violence," he said. "These tragic events ultimately attest to the work we still have to do."	2023-10-14T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/4765

Posts Tagged ‘Reggie Williams’ July 12, 2013 · 2:19 PM ET . HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — The dust is settling and rosters emerging after the biggest free-agent move of the summer came down one week ago. Dwight Howard has positioned the Houston Rockets as Western Conference contenders while creating altered realities for the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. Because of their high-priced payroll, the Lakers have limited flexibility to strengthen their roster for the 2013-14 season. To lessen some of its financial burden, L.A. made it official on Thursday that it will use the amnesty provision to cut loose Metta World Peace, a move that Kobe Bryant made clear he’s not thrilled with on Twitter: Had Howard remained with the Lakers, Pau Gasol might have been on the wrong end of the amnesty, but now he’ll be the Lakers starting center. L.A. has added Nick Young, Chris Kaman and Jordan Farmar to a roster that certainly has talent, but isn’t even expected to make the playoffs by some. The Mavs will scale a considerable mountain to not be lottery-bound in consecutive seasons. Dallas missed out on Deron Williams a year ago and watched Dwight pick their division rivals this time around. To make Mavs fans feel even worse, Andre Iguodala told the San Francisco Chronicle that he almost signed with Dallas an hour before committing to the Golden State Warriors. Dallas met with Andrew Bynum, but passed on making an offer. Dallas was extremely high on Iguodala as an anchor for the future with Dirk Nowitzki in the case that Howard said no. The Mavs are in difficult spot now with a hodgepodge, guard-heavy roster that bears almost no resemblance to last season’s team that failed to make the playoffs for the first time in 13 years. It includes newcomers Jose Calderon, Devin Harris, Wayne Ellington and a couple of rookies in Shane Larkin and Israeli free-agent Gal Mekel. At least Nowitzki kept a sense of humor after missing out on the prime DH target and signing another one: We worked all summer to get DH to Dallas. Welcome back to the Mavs, Devin Harris…. Meanwhile in Houston, with Howard joining All-Star guard James Harden and emerging sharpshooter Chandler Parsons, the front office went to work to add more shooters around their new center, bringing back Francisco Garcia and agreeing to a deal with Reggie Williams. Here’s how the Rockets, Lakers and Mavericks have filled out their rosters and who else each might be looking at: December 13, 2011 · 4:20 PM ET The Bobcats, Raptors, Trail Blazers and Rockets are the four teams in hottest pursuit of unrestricted free agent swingman Reggie Williams, according to a league source. Williams became unrestricted over the weekend when his former team, the Warriors, rescinded its qualifying offer to him in order to clear room for a four-year, $43 million offer sheet Golden State made to Clippers center DeAndre Jordan. The Clippers matched the sheet on Jordan Monday. The 25-year-old Williams is one of the better shooters still available in free agency. He made 42 percent of his three-pointers at Golden State last season, averaging 9.2 points, mainly off the bench, for the Warriors. The two-time NCAA scoring champ from VMI burst onto the NBA scene out of the Developmental League in 2010, averaging 15 points in 24 games for the Warriors after being called up. He worked out for the Bobcats in Charlotte on Sunday. The Blazers are also interested in free agent guard Jamal Crawford, who is being pursued by the Pacers, Knicks and Timberwolves. December 7, 2010 · 12:56 PM ET Through Monday, the NBA season is exactly 25 percent done. The quarter pole is a great time to evaluate a lot of things, but here we’re going to look at early candidates for the Most Improved Player award. There isn’t clear criteria for the award, as indicated by the 13 different players who received first-place votes last season. Personally, I thought that Kevin Durant, who went from non-All-Star to MVP candidate, was the only choice, but only 17 of the 123 voters agreed with me. Statistically, there are a few different ways you can compare performance from one year to the next. And I’ll probably explore all of them by the end of the season. But for now, since it’s still early, I’ll keep it simple. To see whose production has taken the biggest jump from last season to this one, I looked at efficiency per game. Efficiency is a stat that’s been used here on NBA.com for a while now, and it’s fairly simple to understand. You just add up a player’s positive stats (points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks) and subtract turnovers and missed shots (both from the field and from the line). So the formula is this: Most Improved: Efficiency per Game Player Team 2009-10 2010-11 Diff. D.J. Augustin CHA 6.0 16.2 10.2 Reggie Evans TOR 4.9 14.3 9.5 JaVale McGee WAS 8.6 17.1 8.5 Kevin Love MIN 19.7 27.0 7.4 Paul Millsap UTA 15.6 22.7 7.1 Russell Westbrook OKC 18.1 25.1 7.1 Raymond Felton NYK 14.8 21.5 6.8 Tyson Chandler DAL 10.3 17.0 6.6 Daniel Gibson CLE 6.0 12.6 6.6 Jrue Holiday PHI 9.4 16.0 6.5 D.J. Augustin probably isn’t one of the first guys you think of when it comes to Most Improved. But he’s clearly a step ahead of the field (especially since Reggie Evans is out for two months with a broken foot), having stepped into Raymond Felton‘s role as the starting point guard in Charlotte. None of the other names on the list are real surprises. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have the 10 players who have regressed most in terms of efficiency per game… Most Regressed: Efficiency per Game Player Team 2009-10 2010-11 Diff. David Lee GSW 27.0 18.8 -8.2 Reggie Williams GSW 16.2 8.0 -8.2 Brendan Haywood DAL 16.1 7.6 -8.5 Erick Dampier MIA 12.2 3.7 -8.5 LeBron James MIA 32.4 23.8 -8.6 Corey Maggette MIL 18.6 9.3 -9.2 Jermaine O’Neal BOS 15.8 6.6 -9.3 Anthony Randolph NYK 14.3 3.2 -11.1 Earl Barron PHX 17.0 2.7 -14.3 Troy Murphy NJN 20.5 6.1 -14.4 The name that stands out here, of course, is LeBron James. We all knew that his statistical production would fall off, but maybe not this much. People talked about him averaging a triple-double with the Heat, but his rebounds have gone down from 7.3 to 5.7 per game, and his assists have gone down from 8.6 to 7.3. Last year, James led the league in efficiency at 32.4 per game, which was more than four points better than the next player on the list, Durant at 28.0. It’s obviously not easy maintaining those numbers when you’ve got to share the ball with two other All-Stars. July 18, 2010 · 9:24 PM ET Posted by Drew Packham LAS VEGAS — Washington point guard John Wall took home top honors as Most Outstanding Player in Las Vegas after leading all players in scoring (23.5 ppg) and assists (7.8 apg). Fellow rookie DeMarcus Cousins was honored as T-Mobile Rookie of the Month for his impressive Summer League showing. Below are the rest of the players named to the All-Tournament team. July 15, 2010 · 9:20 PM ET LAS VEGAS — A third Summer League was the charm for Golden State’s Reggie Williams. Williams, a D-League call-up who burst onto the scene at the end of last season, averaged 22.6 points in five games, highlighted by a 34-point outburst against John Wall and Wizards on Sunday. This was Williams third invite to Summer League, and he had 18 points at halftime Thursday before tweaking his hamstring and missing the second half. Williams finished his stint in Vegas second in scoring to Cleveland’s J.J. Hickson, who still has who still has three games left. “My confidence is really high since I played a few games during the season,” said Williams, who averaged 15.2 points in 23 games for the Warriors last season. “It just felt really good out there.” When asked if there was anything specific he was working on, Williams said the coaches told him to “just play.” “My ‘just playing’ has got me here so far, so I’m just trying to get better at everything,” Williams said.	2024-02-20T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2626
Determination of the elongate spermatid-Sertoli cell ratio in various mammals. Criteria were devised for determining the elongate spermatid-Sertoli cell ratio in various mammalian species at the electron microscope level. When data from particular species were pooled, the values were: rabbit, 12.17:1, hamster, 10.75:1; gerbil, 10.64:1; rat, 10.32:1; guinea-pig, 10.10:1; vole, 9.75:1; and monkey, 5.94:1. The elongate spermatid-Sertoli cell ratio is a measure of the workload of the Sertoli cell and is a prime factor determining their efficiency. The higher the ratio, the higher the sperm output is likely to be per given weight of seminiferous tubule parenchyma for a particular species.	2024-03-28T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/8801

Palliative care access still lacking When Heather Cavanagh’s father found out he had incurable metastatic prostate cancer, he was sure about one thing: he didn’t want to die in the hospital. So together with her brothers and her mother, Cavanagh set out to figure out how to make that possible. It was harder than she expected. The first step was reaching out to their local Community Care Access Centre, the organization that coordinates public home care in Ontario. The family got a case manager who “wasn’t a great fit” with her mother, says Cavanagh, and they never got a sense of how much help they could expect to get. Worse, they ended up needing to significantly supplement the CCAC hours with care they paid for privately. And that brought organizational challenges. “You have a visiting nurse from CCAC, you’re seeing your own doctor, you’ve got a couple of personal support workers from two different agencies at CCAC, a support worker from the Victorian Order of Nurses that you’re paying for, another support worker that you’re paying for, and now you’re trying to coordinate all this,” she says. That task of organizing all those health care workers was taxing for her mother, and her dying 75-year-old father found it very frustrating to do multiple assessments and discuss his illness over and over again. But despite those difficulties, Cavanagh says they’re very happy they were able to keep him at home. “For him, a hospital would have just been a place to go and die,” she says. “Having him home with us was wonderful.” They were more successful than many families. Palliative care is offered at home, in hospice, or in hospital, and ideally, people would be able to die where they wish, as was the case for Cavanagh’s father. Yet the 2014 Ontario auditor general’s report pointed out that despite the fact that most people prefer to die at home — and that enabling them to do so would cost our health care system at least $600 less per day of care — the majority of Canadians still die in hospital. That’s likely because we simply don’t have enough hospice beds or home care palliative services. Even in hospitals, there aren’t enough palliative care beds, leaving too many people dying in intensive care units or acute medical wards — nobody’s first choice. Improving palliative care has been a focus since that auditor general’s report — helped by its being thrust in to the spotlight as part of the debate around medical assistance in dying. And astudy published in in JAMA last year offers a good overview of the problem. It compares palliative care for cancer patients across seven developed countries using data from 2010. Canada did poorly on several markers, having the second-highest rate of people dying in hospital, at 52 percent, and of people having been hospitalized in the last six months of life, at 89 percent. That translates into high costs, at an average of $21,840 for the last six months of people’s lives — the most expensive of all seven countries. Over the past few years, Ontario has pushed for better palliative care in a variety of ways. So what have we achieved? ‘The postal code lottery’ and differences by disease Palliative care is often framed as the right to die where, and how, you want to. But it actually includes helping manage a wide range of symptoms, including filling psychological and spiritual needs. It should also happen during the last year of life, not just the end of life period. A common way to assess whether someone is ready for palliative care is to have the provider ask themselves, “Would I be surprised if this patient passed away within the next year?” That’s thanks in part to increasing evidence that offering palliative care sooner helps improve quality of life and reduce the severity of symptoms. In Canada, palliative care is being offered earlier, but mostly to cancer patients, where there have been clear calls for palliative care to begin alongside standard treatment, and the progress of the disease can be easier to predict than in other conditions with a high likelihood of death, like advanced heart failure. According to a 2016 Health Quality Ontario report, half of the people who received palliative care in 2014/15 had it only in their last month of life. People with cancer are much more likely to get a palliative care appointment about six months before death than those with frailty and heart failure, who are more likely to have their first palliative care appointment in their last month of life. “A lot of palliative care is delivered late in life, and also in acute care settings,” says Peter Tanuseputro, an investigator at the Bruyère Research Institute and a scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES). “[Those people are] going through the hospital, through the ER. They’re in an acute care bed, and their palliative is consultative.” That’s very different than if it was delivered on a palliative care ward, where nurses and doctors are more experienced at managing symptoms and pain at the end of life. There is also variation across regions. People who receive palliative home care are more satisfied with their care, and less likely to go to the emergency department, be admitted to hospital, or die in hospital. But HQO reported a wide range in the percentage of people who received palliative home care, from 56% of people in the North Simcoe Muskoka Local Health Integration Network to 31% of people in the North West LHIN. Access also varies by income, with 46% of people in the richest areas getting at least one visit, compared with 39% of people in the poorest neighbourhoods — something Tanuseputro calls “the postal code lottery” of palliative care. Other research has also shown the importance of money when it comes to home care, pointing out that Canadian families pay around 25 percent of the total cost of palliative care, by privately hiring nurses or personal support workers. People living in long-term care are another group that often die in hospital unnecessarily — a result of the funding structure of long-term care homes, says Samir Sinha, director of geriatrics at Mount Sinai and the University Health Network of hospitals in Toronto. In the past decade, he says, the type of people living in long-term care homes has shifted significantly to those closer to death and those who are more medically complex. “The challenge that long-term care homes have in Ontario is that they’re still traditionally funded under a model that has not evolved as quickly,” he explains. “They don’t have the kind of funding that can allow them to respond to the needs of people who are being actively palliated.” Increasing access to palliative care A 2014 report from Health Quality Ontario, End-of-Life Health Care in Ontario, laid out a road map to how to fix palliative care in the province. It concluded that everyone deserves to choose whether they want to die at home, in a hospice or in a hospital palliative care ward; that advance care planning be discussed early and often; that health-care professionals need more end-of-life training; and that discussions around not doing CPR on people close to death should be commonplace. That same year, palliative care became an official subspecialty. That’s positive — though it can also endorse the idea that this is an area for specialists only. Instead, all health-care workers should understand the “ABCs of palliative care,” says Hsien Seow, an associate professor of oncology at McMaster University and the Canada Research Chair in Palliative Care and Health System Innovation. “It’s everybody’s business.” Last year, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care created the Ontario Palliative Care Network to develop quality standards and measure improvements around palliative care in the province. “The OPCN is a critically needed initiative,” says Anna Greenberg, vice-president of Health System Performance at Health Quality Ontario. “It combines the right ingredients: formal clinical leadership, developing and implementing quality standards, better use of data and information to support regional and provincial planning, and public reporting to monitor progress.” Earlier this year, the Ministry of Health also announced it would invest $14 million in hospice care over three years, and last week’s budget included funding for capital costs for hospices as well. About 12% of people who die would be best served by hospices, says Rick Firth, president and CEO of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario, a partner in OPCN. The average length of stay is only 18 days, but they help keep people out of acute care and prevent unnecessary interventions. The new funding from the government will bring the number of hospice beds in Ontario up to 503 — over 1.5 times more than we currently have, but still below the 815 Firth says we need. The increase in hospice bed numbers is one of the few firm numbers we have in this area. Research by Tanuseputro has pegged overall access to palliative care at about 52% — but it’s a statistic too new to compare to previous years. Part of the OPCN’s job is to track the data around palliative care, so we’re only now entering the first years of having comprehensive datasets, says Michael Sherar, the OPCN Executive Oversight Co-Chair and president and CEO of Cancer Care Ontario. But he believes that access to palliative care in the province hasn’t changed substantially in the last few years. Sherar says it’s simply too soon to expect serious improvements in those numbers, but “that the foundational work that we’ve put in now means that they will move and we will start seeing significant improvements over the next three years.” “We have created the data infrastructure, the accountability, we have engagement with palliative care providers, and have good government commitment to improving palliative care,” he continues. “With all of those critical foundational elements in place, that progress will come quite quickly, and it will be sustainable.” Data pulled for Healthy Debate by Tanuseputro supports the idea that patients haven’t seen significant progress when it comes to access to palliative home care. The number of people who received palliative home care services actually dropped slightly from 2011 to 2015. And the number of people who had a home palliative care appointment from a physician in the year before they died has gone up, from 9,700 people in 2011, or 15 percent of people who died, to 17,000 in 2015, or 19 percent. “It’s improving, but slowly,” he says. “It’s not exactly leaps and bounds.” Enter the debate: reply to an existing comment 14 comments Heather CavanaghMay 4th, 2017 at 2:12 pm Thank you for a thoughtful, balanced article. This is unfortunately a topic no one in the general public talks about until they find themselves in it. We need to elevate interest and media attention as we will all die and it should be as ‘comfortable’ as possible. So true Heather, The problem of not talking about it is that the affected persons, the ill patients have no energy to go public. Our systems are run by healthy people, the sick are at home, just being sick. There are also many illnesses that even though a patients death cannot be ‘foreseen’, desperately need palliative like services. They need more than an hour visit once per week. Many diseases have just as great suffering for longer than the requirements needed by patients as to meet the six month life expectancy. So why do we get palliative care? Because we are dying or because we are horribly uncomfortable? There are a lot of people that never see one bit of loving care before they die. And I think that is really the saddest thing. It is a good thing that it is not remembered, but still, it is well known that being sick and having nowhere to turn will only make you sicker. Is no-one else a bit concerned that Canada has passed legislation allowing health caregivers to ‘hasten death’, while health legislation and policy across Canada is cutting, reducing and controlling Canadians’ access to active treatment.? By active treatment, I include pain management and pain medications, home care support, nursing home and of course , palliative and terminal care? Is no-one concerned that the lack of appropriate care actually causes suffering, which in turn, propels people toward assisted suicide? Apparently, Canadians have the ‘right to die’ but no corresponding rights to palliative care or any other type of clinical care when we become terminally ill. Hospice services across the province is heavily dependent upon the generosity of the community to support both the capital costs of building the actual facilities and then for up to 40% of the annual operating costs of both the residential programs and the ‘community’ hospice programs. There is much work to be done in the Province to determine what are the core hospice services and to insure that those who are palliative have access. This article is a good beginning conversation. I do believe in my “right to die” when I get to that point in my life when there is no other alternative. In these cases, pain medication should be readily available and given more rather than less. I think it’s unacceptable that someone in their last hours or days should suffer at all– it’s just not humane. Unfortunately, the problems in our health care system is across every Province and each one is striving to make it better. Thank you to all the caring people who are striving to do so. I took a course studying the delivery of palliative care in different European countries. Canada is very far behind most countries there. Everyone should have access when they need it and service not limited by type of disease and not only in the last month of life. We have a very long way to go (Disclaimer: I’m a family doctor who includes home visits to frail and dying patients as part of my practice. I’m also a provider of medical assistance in dying.) We certainly are a long way from how palliative care should be delivered in Canada. I fully agree that introducing palliative care at an earlier stage of disease progression (and not to mention for non-cancer diagnoses) is crucial. There are a few challenges that I often face day-to-day: -When someone is not obviously sick and/or dying, it can be conceptually difficult to accept the idea of planning for a future decline. Many patients with a non-cancer diagnosis (e.g. heart failure, COPD, cirrhosis, to name a few) don’t have a good sense of what their life expectancy might be, or what their disease trajectory might look like. (Of course, in many cases, neither do we, as physicians, given the unpredictability of some of these conditions.) I think part of this is a failure amongst doctors to be frank and educate patients about how potentially serious their medical conditions might be. It’s not an easy conversation to have, but it’s necessary. -The postal code lottery is alive and well. Here in Toronto, palliative care services are often limited by catchment areas, and what is available in one part of the city may not be available a few blocks away because of arbitrary boundaries imposed by funding agencies. For example, the Dorothy Ley Hospice in the west end of the city has an outstanding pilot program that aims to identify and support patients who are “pre-palliative,” and who might benefit from an early linkage to a hospice. But my patients who live out of their catchment area cannot participate. More consistency across administrative boundaries would be excellent. -Even when palliative care services are available in a patient’s home, there are times when there is a distinct lack of communication between home care providers and family physicians. A patient of mine may have nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and social workers assessing and providing services to them, but there’s often no routine communication with me. This is something that I hope will change with the transition out of the CCAC system (though I’m not overly optimistic.) On the bright side, palliative care has made significant inroads in medical education, and family doctors graduating now are expected to be able to provide end of life care to their patients. Whether or not they choose to is another matter. Dear Ed, Thank you for commenting. I do think patients have a good sense of how sick they are. Obviously no one, not even a physician knows the exact date, time of death until it has happened. I don’t know of any person that enjoys being sick, nor pretends to be sicker than they are (except possibly some people with colds) When patients suffer from declining diseases, the patient is the one who knows best. Why in the world would we take it upon ourselves to decide the patients outcome when reported symptoms and QOL are very good indicators of how sick someone is. To not believe them is simply treating patients as infants, to make decisions for them is not humane. These diseases mentioned are very serious and it would not serve the patient well to just let them flounder in their discomfort. It is inhumane. We also live in a death denying society; we choose to ignore things until it is too late. Whether it is the patient or their family, often hospice services (whether residential hospice or community visiting) are not investigated in time. We need doctors to broach the subject early on, changing the language they use so that people don’t see palliative care as “giving up,” rather as simply seeking the support they need. Hospices are not where people go to die; they are where people go to live out their final days. There is a distinct difference that we don’t seem to understand, and it is heartbreaking that so many miss out because they are unaware of the services available. As stated elsewhere in this site, THIS is not an issue for folks with money. Money will purchase support. This issue is all about those who do not have the money to purchase the needed care and support. Until the majority of people wake up and elect politicians who will do the right thing in terms of health care and spending our money, this (and many other issues related to health and everything else) will continue as they are. So… either find a way of accumulating the necessary funds to be able to pay for things, OR be kind and hope that your kindness will be returned when you are in need. I kept this article to re-read… I am a retired nurse, having “worked” for 52 yrs in active nursing.. I worked with many palliative pts., in hospital and in the community.. and through CCAC.. As you will note.. I am an “old-fashioned” nurse (?!).. who believes in good hands-on care.. One frustration.. in later yrs of my nursing practice.. was the “new version” of nursing.. described to me by more than one.. generic Univ ns grad.. It is now a more “computer” practice, and research research research.. but fewer willing to do the actual nursing care, I found.. There are many divisions.. providing care now.. PSW, RPN, no more RN.. just BScN.. often with inadequate “respect” for “lower” divisions of care providers.. I’ve witnessed this.. And, with CCAC- care co-ordinators.. some with NO/limited hands-on experience.. esp. in palliative care.. directing care provided by the nursing agencies.. To say, it is now 2018.. and there is, as one response claims, an adequate data infrastructure.. lets now concentrate on providing adequate actual palliative care.. Too many people in offices.. and not enough at the bedside.. my humble opinion… My husband was in the hospital fo 29 days, We had 2 bad nurses , I had to straighten them out, Should never had happened, they just don’t care, now my husband is palitive, And has 6 months , i have been taking care of him since 2011, long road, ,Hospice is coming here friday to evaluate him, This is all new to us Medical assisted death was approved by the Supreme Court provided all Canadians have access to palliative care in the closing years of life. All Canadians do not have this access. The most vulnerable 50% of Canadians will, as time progresses be the Lion’s share of assistance in death, it simply will be a more attractive choice. We are on a slippery slope. Kindness to kill cost way less then kindness to comfort. It’s in the budget.

Forebrain parasympathetic control of heart activity: retrograde transneuronal viral labeling in rats. Dysfunction of parasympathetic command neurons may be a cause of cardiac autonomic imbalance, which has been implicated as a pathogenic mechanism of lethal arrhythmias. The locations in the brain of these command neurons are not known. The aim of this investigation is to identify selectively the parasympathetic command neurons in the forebrain. Male Wistar rats were inoculated in the left ventricular myocardium with 2 ml of a 3 x 10(6) plaque-forming units/ml of a pseudorabies virus (PRV)-Bartha solution. Eighteen hours after the infection, the spinal cord was transected at T1. Six of fourteen rats showed PRV-immunoreactive cells in the forebrain after 6 postoperative survival days. Bilaterally, the infections were located in the prelimbic, anterior cingulate, frontal, and insular cortexes, various hypothalamic and midbrain nuclei, the nucleus of the solitary tract, the dorsal motor vagus, and periambiguus nuclei. Control animals receiving intravenous PRV-Bartha injections were not infected. Using transneuronal retrograde viral labeling and spinal cord transection, we were able to localize the forebrain parasympathetic command neurons that maintain cardiac autonomic balance. The virus-infected cells were localized in regions that previously showed susceptibility for immune activation-mediated selective cerebral endothelial leakage. We hypothesize that such selective endothelial leakage could induce autonomic imbalance after myocardial infarction.	2024-01-23T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/8157
Pages Thursday, December 30, 2010 Just one more... Despite having three separate invitations to fish freshwater today (Lake Anna Stripers with Dan Smullen, Smallmouth Bass with Alan Tharrington and Catfishing with my boss), I decided to go to the Elizabeth river (hot ditch) to see if I could catch one more citation before the end of the year. I launched around 10:30 and immediately started catching... 10"-16" spikes And lots of them. The majority of the time I was throwing a 1/4 oz jighead n dark green body/chartreuse paddle tail. The action stayed steady for a little while and eventually pulled up two 20"ers. Shortly there after Justin Mayer joined me and he got in on the action too. 20"er As the tide started to shift, we decided to try a different spot. I trolled over to "the cove" and found a minefield of bobbers. I paddled along the shoreline, courteously staying clear of the other boats and their live baits. I found a decent spot, tossed my soft plastic and immediately hooked up with another spike. Not what I wanted but better than nothing I thought. I busted out the trusty black and orange MirrOLure and worked it really slow. I had something hit it, but not hook up; which is hard to understand because they have three treble hooks on them. Anyway, I checked my watch and realized I was suppose to leave 15 minutes ago. I casted my lure one last time, started cranking, and BAM! There it was! About 15 seconds into the fight my Mirrolure came flying out of the water and the side of the fish flashed and teased me through the brown-orange water. As expletives flew out of my mouth I knew I couldn't leave now. It looked like it could have measured in the lower 20's. I made several more casts and after about 10 minutes I started to get discouraged. I knew I'd be in deep doo-doo if I stayed much longer. So I casted one last time, again, let it sink to the bottom, slowly crank, and about halfway back to the yak it got crushed! The drag ripping from my 2lb test ultralight outfit seemed so loud in the quiet, windless air. I frantically repeated "Please stay on, please stay on, pleeeeeeeease stay on....". After a couple more nerve racking good drag runs, I finally landed what I came for. 24.25" Release Citation Speck After a two hour ride, I came home to a pleasant wife who immediately put me on diaper duty and bath time. Afterwards, I got a message from Justin telling me about his great catch after I left. Here is his report. Thanks guys. Rob we have lots of them in the summer as well. Actually fall is even better. Topwater on the flats! In the winter, they stick around a hot water discharge (hot ditch) from a power plant. Sorry I missed your radio show last night.	2023-12-22T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2742

BLyS plays a critical role in integrating B cell homeostasis with specificity-based tolerance mechanisms. This is evidenced by the effects of manipulating BLyS or its receptors, as well as the links between the BLyS/BLyS receptor family and humoral autoimmunity. Recent data and our preliminary results show that the proportion of newly formed B cells surviving transitional selection can be varied based on homeostatic demands. Thus, the stringency of negative selection is relaxed when the demand for newly formed lymphocytes is high, allowing autoreactive clonotypes to mature and enter the follicular and marginal zone pools. These observations suggest that upon cessation of treatments that ablate peripheral pools, altered homeostatic demands will compromise the normal balance of selection and homeostasis. Accordingly, we hypothesize that during lymphoid reconstitution following curtailed marrow output or peripheral B lymphopenia, selective thresholds will be relaxed. We further hypothesize that this will be governed by available BLyS and BLyS receptor levels, and that the emergence of autoreactive specificities can thus be modulated by controlling available BLyS. The studies herein will address these ideas. In aim 1, we will determine how transitional B cell throughput is influenced by reduced marrow output and peripheral B lymphopenia. These experiments will employ BrdU labeling coupled with lymphoid autoreconstitution, drug-induced peripheral B lymphopenia, and mixed marrow chimera studies to determine the throughput and fate of cells under these conditions. In aim 2 we will determine whether the stringency of transitional repertoire selection is relaxed during peripheral lymphopenia or reduced BM output. We will assess selection stringency by monitoring changes in repertoire composition, diversity and specificity across transitional and mature subsets. In addition, we will directly test whether autoreactive specificities normally eliminated at the transitional checkpoint are afforded entry to mature compartments. These experiments will use flow cytometry, limiting dilution and single cell specificity analyses in normal and transgenic mice. In aim 3, we will establish whether normal selection can be restored by adjusting BLyS levels or responsiveness during replenishment of peripheral pools. We will assess whether reduced available BLyS levels will restore normal selective stringency by in vivo treatment with soluble TACI Ig or neutralizing anti-BLyS antibody in normal and autoimmune models.	2024-01-03T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/4346
The Case for a Creator, Closing Thoughts It’s been said that one of science’s greatest virtues is that it’s not dictated by a tyranny of the majority or guided by irrational human whims. After all, science is the search for the true nature of reality, and reality isn’t decided by our preferences. No matter how many people prefer an experiment to turn out one way, it may in fact turn out another, and the scientific community will just have to accept that result. There’s certainly much truth to this. But of course, in another sense, scientific debates are settled by majority vote, because science is done by humans, and how else can a community of humans conduct business other than by consensus? When the evidence is unclear or lacking, we have no choice but to rely on the judgment of experts. The theory that wins the majority’s support, by definition, will attract the most research, the most funding, and the most talent. There’s truth in both these views, but the reality is that they usually converge. Science works – it discovers verifiable truth about the world – and the implication is that, in any given dispute, the theory which attracts the most support from the majority of practicing, credentialed scientists is more likely than its competitors to be true. This is even more true of ideas that have survived decades of rigorous experimental tests. I don’t know of a single case where a scientific theory that reigned for so long was utterly falsified and overthrown. Far more often, we just discover that although the old theory holds true in most cases, there are special circumstances where it doesn’t; and it then becomes an approximation of its more precise successor. The reason for this whole digression is that, in The Case for a Creator‘s appendix, Strobel offers a summary of his apologetics work in The Case for Christ. He summarizes one chapter as follows: “Gregory Boyd… offered a devastating critique of the Jesus Seminar, a group that questions whether Jesus aid or did most of what’s attributed to him. He identified the Seminar as ‘an extremely small number of radical-fringe scholars who are on the far, far left wing of New Testament thinking.'” [p.295] This is extremely perilous ground for Strobel to tread on. If some group’s belonging to the “radical fringe” is a reason to reject their ideas, doesn’t that apply all the more to the ideas presented in this book? After all, the theory of evolution has the support of the overwhelming majority of the scientific community: state, national, and international scientific societies and academies; the biology faculties of dozens of accredited colleges and universities; and, of course, over a thousand scientists named Steve. By contrast, the intelligent-design movement is sorely lacking in intellectual firepower. As I’ve pointed out, the intellectual well of creationism is so shallow that Strobel was forced to pad out a ten-chapter book with theologians, philosophers and professional Christian debaters, and even then, he had to interview one of his subjects twice! This lack of depth speaks to the true nature of the creationist movement: not a robust academic community doing real scientific research, but a small number of pundits, lawyers and religious evangelists underwritten by right-wing Christian groups for ideological and propaganda reasons. The difference between them is the difference between an ocean and a puddle. Given Strobel’s dismissive description of the Jesus Seminar, wouldn’t it also be appropriate to identify the Discovery Institute as “an extremely small number of radical-fringe creationists, most of whom are on the far, far right wing of religious thinking, and – to top it off – most of whom lack credentials in any scientific field related to evolution”? (This is in contrast to the the Jesus Seminar, whose members, no matter how bitterly Strobel denigrates them, have legitimate credentials in textual criticism, ancient languages, and biblical studies.) Strobel relies on the argument from authority when it’s convenient, but disregards it when it’s not convenient. Granted, a Christian apologist might think to make this argument cut both ways – how can we atheists reject the Bible when so many prominent biblical scholars believe it’s true? – but there are obstacles to doing so. First of all, many of the theologians who express belief in biblical historicity and inerrancy work not for secular universities where the expression of diverse views is protected by tenure, but by religious schools and seminaries which force their members to affirm a statement of faith and cast out those who express unorthodox thoughts. This artificial barrier, which has no equivalent in the scientific community, makes it much more difficult for anyone who dissents in any significant way to express an opinion. (That said, there’s a lot more diversity of opinion in the biblical studies community than most lay believers realize, and there’s certainly no widespread agreement on the tenets of fundamentalism. The Jesus Seminar is just the most visible expression of methods and conclusions that have been established in the field for decades.) Second, even disregarding the dogma and doctrinal vows, the mission of a religious college is fundamentally different. Science rewards people whose discoveries bring us closer to the truth of the world, even if those discoveries overturn established wisdom. But the purpose of religious groups is to maintain continuity – to defend orthodoxy, defend the creed, defend the beliefs that have always been held. There’s no reward for those who challenge conventional wisdom. In religion, unlike in science, you can build a career on nothing but reiterating the thoughts of your predecessors. The absence of any method of self-correction means that in religion, unlike in science, we’d be well advised to listen to the so-called radical fringe. They’re most likely to be the people who are on to something. Other posts in this series:	2024-03-24T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/8240
Update February 11, 15:27 EST: A Microsoft spokesperson told BleepingComputer that the issue is caused by users not fully deploying the latest SHA-2 enablement packages. We investigated and determined that some users encountered issues after attempting to deploy SHA-2 signed updates without fully deploying the latest SHA-2 enablement packages. For more information and step-by-step guidance, please refer to our support article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4472027/2019-sha-2-code-signing-support-requirement-for-windows-and-wsus. ——————————————————————————————————— Windows Server 2008 servers will no longer boot if prerequisites aren't installed before applying the out-of-band KB4539602 update released by Microsoft on February 7 to patch a wallpaper bug. After being deployed on machines running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the boot file will be deleted and the servers will no longer boot according to user reports, with dozens of servers being unable to boot as a result. Windows 7 computers are also affected by this problem as users report having their machines rendered unbootable after installing KB4539602. This issue is caused by older versions of SHA-2 signing and servicing stack updates on the affected devices because they were removed by admins before applying KB4539602 or because the servers weren't fully updated before installing the update. Another possible explanation is an older version of those updates being installed on the impacted devices. As explained by Microsoft on KB4539602's entry, the following updates need to be installed as prerequisites (they should be offered automatically through Windows Update): To make sure that these two updates are correctly installed on Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 devices, you also have to restart the computer after applying them. Restarting the device before applying Monthly Rollup, Security-Only Update, Preview of Monthly Rollup, or stand-alone updates is also advised to make sure that it's fully patched. KB4539602 is an optional update so you can also completely ignore this update if you don't want to have any additional issues to fix on devices running end-of-support operating systems. Unofficial fixes While Microsoft doesn't provide a fix for customers who get their servers unable to boot after a failed KB4539602 update, Windows admins came up with two unofficial fixes to revive Windows Server 2008 servers that won't boot: Go into Recovery, find the drive letter for the Windows installation and run the following command: dism.exe /image:C:\ /cleanup-image / revertpendingactions 1. Boot into Recovery. 2. Copy winload.efi and winload.exe from a backup or another 2008r2 installation to C:\windows\system32. 3. Reboot the machine. Fixes for bugfixes Windows 7, Server 2008, and 2008 R2 reached their end of support on January 14, 2020, and will no longer receive software updates, security updates or fixes according to Microsoft (1, 2). After the last free Monthly Rollups released for these EoL operating systems broke some of the desktop wallpaper functionality after January 14, Microsoft released the KB4539602 stand-alone update to fix the wallpaper bug three days ago. Some Windows 7 users are also reporting that they can't shut down or restart their computers and Microsoft told BleepingComputer that the issue is under investigation. Now, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 customers find that their servers are being rendered unbootable after installing the wallpaper bug fix update. More updates for Windows 7 and/or Windows Server 2008 might soon be released by Microsoft to fix the wallpaper bug fix, even though both OSs reached their end of support almost a month ago.	2023-10-28T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2310

Deadline has reported that Tim Guinee has been added to the JJ Abrams, Eric Kripke drama Revolution for NBC, which has been directed by Jon Favreau. “The high-octane action drama follows a group of people struggling to survive with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist.” Guinee has recently starred in the TV drama The Good Wife, and has also worked alongside Favreau for both Iron Man films. Switching nationalities and projects just a bit, Deadline also reports that Swedish actor Michael Nyqvist has been cast in the ABC drama Zero Hour, which marks his U.S. series debut. Written and produced by Prison Break creator, Paul Scheuring, Hour centers “on Hank Foley (Anthony Edwards) who, after spending 20 years as the editor of Modern Skeptics magazine, becomes involved in one of the most compelling conspiracies in human history when his wife is kidnapped.” He is set to play White Vincent, “one of the villains at the heart of the global conspiracy that thrives inside Zero Hour.” You may have seen Nyqvist play the original Mikael Blomkvist in the Swedish version of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, or more recently the villain in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. The last bit of casting news comes from THR, as they have reported that Colm Meaney, co-star of AMC’s Hells on Wheels, has joined the cast of the thriller The Occult. Meaney will join Anne Heche and Rufus Sewell for the indie drama, “which details the strange goings-on within a religious cult. When young girls start to go missing, older followers in the cult feat a long-told prophecy while younger members suspect abusive elders are killing them off.” Christian Christiansen is directing, with Mickey Liddell set to produce. What do you think about any of these projects and these casting choices?	2024-05-03T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/8444

how to double your vote's value by voting 'one' for an alternative party email: beth [at] bethspencer [dot] com This piece was originally written for the Victorian State election in November 2006. A modified version was published in The Age Online, 20th November 2007 for the Australian Federal election (http://tinyurl.com/2wq5fl) For Federal or State elections in Australia, the message is much the same --if you want your vote for an alternative party to count for anything, you must put them first on the ballot form, followed by your preferences.) * Never having been a huge fan of the major parties in Australian politics I often spend a few hours on election day handing out 'how to votes' for an alternative party. The first time was for the Greens in the early 1990s in the Sydney inner suburb of Marrickville. I was amazed at the apparent high level of support they had - so many people saying 'oh, good, the Greens' and 'thanks!' enthusiastically as they took a card, and 'I gave you a vote!' as they came out. I thought, wow, they're going to get about half the vote. But when the results came in, they got four percent. Some years ago the Democrats put up a bill to commit ongoing funding to educate the populace about the electoral system, about the different levels of government, and about the quite complex preferential and proportional voting systems. Given that voting in Australia is compulsory, this seemed a sensible idea. (And a necessary one, if the number of people who seem puzzled that there are two different 'how to vote' cards, is any indication. 'No, I've got one,' is a frequent response. 'But you need this one too,' I'll say, 'for the Upper House and the Lower House.' Blank stares.) The bill was defeated by the Liberal and Labor parties joining ranks against it. So why might an ignorant population be in the interests of the major parties, and an educated one preferred by the alternative groups? Or why, we might ask, do the 'how to vote' cards of the major parties rarely give information about the affiliations of the other candidates, even as they're telling you in what order to put them? Perhaps because the backroom shenanigans that go on in the weeks before an election often result in some pretty dirty and hypocritical deals - as was seen in the past few weeks. And they'd rather not display this. However thanks to some good thinking down at the Victorian electoral commission, it is now much easier to bypass these deals and make up your own mind. In the past if you wanted to vote 'below the line' (that is, choose your own order of preference) you had to consecutively and accurately fill in every box - no mean feat on the Upper House voting form, which is often the size of a table runner. Now, however, you can fill in as few as five boxes and have your vote count. If you want to bone up on the party affiliations of the candidates in your electorate before you get into the polling booth, you can do so by going to http://www.vec.vic.gov.au. Otherwise just keep pestering the spruikers outside your polling booth until you find someone - usually from one of the alternative parties -- who has a 'how to vote' card that actually gives this information. Another reason an ignorant electorate seems to be more desirable to the bigger parties is that they can then run full page advertisements the day before an election to frighten people from voting for an alternative party. 'Don't waste your vote' is one tactic. Or 'Don't take the risk' is another. Is there a risk in putting an alternative party first, and the party with the chance of actually winning the election second? Well, theoretically it is possible that in a convoluted way, in exceptional and very precise circumstances, your vote could assist the 'wrong party' (neither your first nor your second, but your last choice) to win. What would need to happen is for more people to vote for minor party A than for major party B, so that B is knocked out of the contest first and its preferences redistributed. What would also need to happen is that B had allocated its preferences not to A but to its enemy, major party C. Which is to say that any risk only exists in the event of dirty dealing by the main parties, not because of your democratic right to vote for an alternative. So it's a risk - if it exists at all - that they've created (and can stop creating by being more principled). And even then it is an extraordinarily tiny one. A bit like saying, don't turn on that light, because you might get electrocuted. Whereas the benefits of voting first for an alternative party are much more certain, and quite significant. Indeed far from 'wasting' your vote, by putting an alternative party first you can, in a sense, double your vote's value. If the alternative candidate doesn't make the count for the final showdown, the full value of your vote is automatically redistributed to your second choice. So you still get to vote to decide on which party forms the government. But you also get to first send a message that the concerns, policies and approaches of the alternative party are important to you, a message that can have a powerful resonating effect throughout the next three years. Furthermore, on a practical level, alternative parties need funding to grow, develop policy, and to have an influence. For every member elected (to either House) they get a parliamentary office and an electoral officer. If they get five members, they get parliamentary party status, which provides a raft of benefits and resources, including offices in regional areas. Even if they don't get elected, as long as they get more than 4% of the overall primary vote, then your vote is worth $1.31 to them in public funding to put towards their campaign costs. But, all of this only happens if you put them first. The tragedy of that voting day in Marrickville many years ago - a tragedy I've seen repeated over and over again in subsequent elections - is that so many people, uneducated in the subtleties of preferential voting, thought they were actively supporting the Greens by putting them second. But if you put them second, and put a major party first, no-one will ever know. The effect is zero. In a recent survey eighty percent of those polled said that global warming was the most important issue facing Australia today. It will be interesting to see how this ends up translating (or not) in the voting figures on Saturday. Make sure you register to vote -- or change your address details if you've moved -- now. With the new rules, if you wait till the election is called, it could be too late and you may lose your vote:Don't Let Them Stop You From Voting	2023-11-19T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2787
Polymorphonuclear leukocyte migration across model intestinal epithelia enhances Salmonella typhimurium killing via the epithelial derived cytokine, IL-6. The host response to Salmonella typhimurium involves movement of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) across the epithelium and into the intestinal lumen. Following their arrival in the lumen, the PMN attempt to combat bacterial infection by activating antimicrobial defenses such as granule release, oxidative burst, phagocytosis, and cell signaling. We sought to examine PMN-S. typhimurium interaction following PMN arrival in the lumenal compartment. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate that PMN that have transmigrated across model intestinal epithelia have an enhanced ability to kill S. typhimurium. Our data provide evidence to indicate that the extracellular release of the primary and secondary granules of PMN, myeloperoxidase and lactoferrin, respectively, is correlated with enhanced bacterial killing. Furthermore, epithelial cells, during PMN transmigration, release the cytokine IL-6. IL-6 is known to increase intracellular stores of Ca(2+), and we have determined that this epithelial released cytokine is not only responsible for priming the PMN to release their granules, but also stimulating the PMN to kill S. typhimurium. These results substantiate the pathway in which PMN transmigration activates the epithelial release of IL-6, which in turn increases intracellular Ca(2+) storage. Our results, herein, extend this pathway to include an enhanced PMN granule release and an enhanced killing of S. typhimurium.	2023-10-15T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/1480
Physiological and pharmacological functions of Mrp2, Mrp3 and Mrp4 as determined from recent studies on gene-disrupted mice. The MRP family is composed of nine transporters, at least eight of which are lipophilic anion transporters that are capable of conferring resistance to various anticancer agents. Recently, mice with gene disruptions in Mrp2, Mrp3 and Mrp4 have been developed. This review will discuss insights into the physiological and pharmacological functions of Mrp2, Mrp3 and Mrp4 afforded by investigations of these new mouse models.	2024-06-28T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2289
Understanding culture: key messages for leadership. It is crucial, in an era of healthcare mergers and acquisitions, that leaders understand organizational culture and the role it plays in major transitions. Research indicates that organizational factors can lead to either the success or failure of a major change. Too many failed mergers testify to the fact that cultures sometimes collide, rather than coalesce. Culture is the human dimension of an organization. Anytime an organization makes a major change, some of its employees will experience the change as chaos. But chaos is not necessarily a bad thing. It can free people from the constraints of the past, enabling them to create new structures. But, for this to happen, leaders must help employees separate essential from peripheral matters and specify their common values and beliefs. Good leaders are vital for change as significant as an acquisition or a merger. They may want to begin with assessments of their respective cultures. They will certainly give employees an opportunity to express their sense of loss. As early in the process as possible, they should create communications mechanisms that involve employees in the change process and share vision and values. And leaders should share themselves, both their strength and vulnerability, so that employees can see change as something all are experiencing together.	2023-10-23T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/7639
Summation of extraocular motor unit tensions in the lateral rectus muscle of the cat. Contractile measures on 67 single muscle units in the cat lateral rectus muscle were made in response to motoneuron stimulation. Simultaneous activation of four to five additional units, using muscle nerve stimulation, allowed an examination of unit force summation. Linear force addition was found in 73% of the units, while 25% added only about half of their twitch force to the twitch force of the nerve-activated units. "Nonadditive" units had significantly weaker twitch tensions than the units which added linearly. Lengthening or shortening the whole muscle, from maximal isometric settings, reduced whole muscle twitch tension as well as muscle unit tension. Injury to the lateral rectus muscle did not significantly alter whole muscle tension. These findings suggest that the known serial and branching arrangement of these muscle fibers, as well as the complex interfiber matrix, may help explain the force reduction in some muscle units and the whole muscle's resistance to insult.	2023-10-09T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/2089

He argues that: (1) the trial court erred in its valuation of certain marital assets; (2) the trial court erred in finding that he dissipated a $16,000 check; (3) there was insufficient evidence to support the trial court's valuation of his Hub City Motor Sports commercial real estate; (4) the trial court erred in valuing the equipment and fixtures at respondent's business; (5) the trial court erred in finding the existence of two cars owned by respondent; (6) the award of attorney fees to petitioner is unwarranted; and (7) the contempt sanctions imposed by the trial court on respondent were inappropriate. We affirm. Because we will incorporate the relevant facts into our discussion of the issues, we lay them out only briefly here. The parties married on November 21, 1994, and their marriage was dissolved on July 15, 2003. During their marriage, the parties owned and operated two car dealerships: Blackhawk Motor Company and Hub City Motor Sports. Prior to the trial for division of the parties' property, the trial court entered sanctions against respondent for his failure to comply with discovery. Pursuant to those sanctions, respondent's answer was stricken, he was barred from presenting evidence at the division of property trial, and the trial was conducted as a default prove up. The trial court issued its memorandum opinion and order, which divided the parties' property, on May 19, 2004. Respondent timely appeals that order. Because respondent laces his objection to the trial court's imposition of discovery sanctions throughout all of his arguments, we address that argument first. The record reveals that petitioner served respondent with several discovery requests, including interrogatories and requests to produce, and respondent failed to respond to those requests within 28 days. Petitioner filed a motion to compel on October 16, 2003. The court granted the motion and ordered respondent to respond to discovery by November 30. Petitioner received no response by December 1 and filed a motion for sanctions. On 349 December 5, respondent provided answers to interrogatories, which answers petitioner claimed were deficient in several respects. Though the record does not contain a transcript of a hearing on December 9, petitioner's filings appearing in the record indicate that the trial court ordered respondent to comply with discovery by December 11 or risk having his evidence barred at trial. After receiving no further discovery, petitioner filed an amended motion for sanctions against respondent, and that motion was heard on December 18, when the trial court sanctioned respondent by striking his answer and barring him from presenting evidence during the default prove up for division of the parties' property. No transcript of the December 18 hearing appears in the record. The imposition of discovery sanctions is largely a matter within the discretion of the trial court and will not be disturbed on review unless the sanctions constitute an abuse of discretion, such as where the sanctioned party's conduct was not unreasonable or where the sanctions themselves are not just. Hartnett v. Stack, 241 Ill.App.3d 157, 172, 180 Ill.Dec. 634, 607 N.E.2d 703 (1993). The record here includes the trial court's sanctions order and its previous order compelling respondent to comply with discovery by November 30, but the record does not include a transcript of the hearing at which sanctions were discussed. We resolve all doubts due to incompleteness of the record against the appellant. Foutch v. O'Bryant, 99 Ill.2d 389, 392, 76 Ill.Dec. 823, 459 N.E.2d 958 (1984). As such, we find no abuse of discretion in the trial court's imposition of sanctions. Respondent's remaining contentions center on the believability and sufficiency of the evidence supporting the trial court's findings, especially in light of evidence he claims he would have submitted had the trial court not prevented him from doing so. However, we find no abuse of discretion in the discovery sanctions imposed, and, thus, we will consider only the evidence presented to the trial court at the default prove up. Respondent first argues that the trial court erred in valuing automobiles from Blackhawk Motors pursuant to a November 11, 2002, inventory prepared by respondent, instead of pursuant to more accurate evidence of the vehicles' worth as of July 15, 2003, the date of the dissolution of the parties' marriage. See In re Marriage of Brooks, 138 Ill.App.3d 252, 260, 93 Ill.Dec. 166, 486 N.E.2d 267 (1985) (property should be valued at the time of judgment of dissolution of marriage). A trial court's determination of the value of marital assets in a division-of-property proceeding will not be disturbed on appeal unless it is against the manifest weight of the evidence. In re Marriage of Cutler, 334 Ill.App.3d 731, 736, 268 Ill.Dec. 496, 778 N.E.2d 762 (2002). However, the inventory relied on by the trial court was competent evidence of the value of the cars, and, as the trial court stated in its memorandum opinion, respondent did not comply with discovery that may have revealed more accurate evidence of the vehicles' worth as of July 15, 2003. Therefore, the trial court's valuation of the automobiles was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Respondent second argues that the trial court erred in finding dissipation as a result of respondent's cashing a check made out to Blackhawk Motor Company, in the amount of $16,000, without the knowledge or consent of petitioner. Dissipation has been defined as the use of marital property for the sole benefit of one of the spouses for a purpose unrelated to the marriage at a time when the marriage 350 is undergoing an irreconcilable breakdown. In re Marriage of Petrovich, 154 Ill.App.3d 881, 886, 107 Ill.Dec. 543, 507 N.E.2d 207 (1987). Before moving further on this issue, we must pause to determine our proper standard of review. We first note that respondent omits reference to our standard of review for any of the issues he appeals, in contravention of the mandate of Supreme Court Rule 341(e) (188 Ill.2d R. 341(e)). We therefore admonish respondent before moving to consider the standard ourselves. While a majority of appellate court cases apply an abuse of discretion standard of review to a trial court's determination as to whether dissipation occurred in a given case (e.g., In re Marriage of Zweig, 343 Ill.App.3d 590, 596, 278 Ill.Dec. 466, 798 N.E.2d 1223 (2003); In re Marriage of Hahin, 266 Ill.App.3d 168, 171, 205 Ill.Dec. 788, 644 N.E.2d 4 (1994)), many cases apply a manifest weight of the evidence standard (e.g., In re Marriage of Rai, 189 Ill.App.3d 559, 565, 136 Ill.Dec. 922, 545 N.E.2d 446 (1989)), and still others inexplicably apply both standards (In re Marriage of Carter, 317 Ill.App.3d 546, 551, 251 Ill.Dec. 252, 740 N.E.2d 82 (2000); In re Marriage of Blunda, 299 Ill.App.3d 855, 865, 234 Ill.Dec. 339, 702 N.E.2d 993 (1998)). Abuse of discretion is the most deferential standard of reviewnext to no review at alland is therefore traditionally reserved for decisions made by a trial judge in overseeing his or her courtroom or in maintaining the progress of a trial. In re D.T., 212 Ill.2d 347, 356, 289 Ill.Dec. 11, 818 N.E.2d 1214 (2004). Manifest weight review, on the other hand, is generally reserved for factual or evidentiary determinations. T. O'Neill & S. Brody, Taking Standards of Appellate Review Seriously: A Proposal to Amend Rule 341, 83 Ill. B.J. 512, 518 (1995) (hereinafter, O'Neill & Brody). Several cases discussing the review of a dissipation finding confuse the two standards and invoke an abuse of discretion standard of review for a dissipation on the basis that they are reviewing an issue of fact. E.g., Zweig, 343 Ill.App.3d at 596, 278 Ill.Dec. 466, 798 N.E.2d 1223; In re Marriage of Bennett, 306 Ill.App.3d 246, 248, 239 Ill.Dec. 428, 713 N.E.2d 1278 (1999). However, because the determination of whether dissipation occurred in a given case is a factual one (e.g., Petrovich, 154 Ill.App.3d at 886, 107 Ill.Dec. 543, 507 N.E.2d 207), appellate courts must review it using the manifest weight of the evidence standard of review. Further examination of the cases that apply abuse of discretion review to a dissipation finding leads us to believe they also conflate the standard of review given to the trial court's determination regarding the final distribution of marital property and that given to the trial court's finding as to whether dissipation took place.[1]E.g., Zweig, 343 Ill.App.3d at 596, 278 Ill. 351 Dec. 466, 798 N.E.2d 1223 (stating abuse of discretion applies to review of a dissipation finding based on misreading of Petrovich, 154 Ill.App.3d at 886, 107 Ill.Dec. 543, 507 N.E.2d 207, which quotes In re Marriage of Smith, 128 Ill.App.3d 1017, 1019, 84 Ill.Dec. 242, 471 N.E.2d 1008 (1984), which cites two cases for the proposition that the trial court's final determination on property disposition receives abuse of discretion review). This common error only serves to further obfuscate the proper appellate standard of review for disposition of property cases. See O'Neill & Brody, 83 Ill. B.J. at 518; see also In re Marriage of Gurda, 304 Ill.App.3d 1019, 1025, 238 Ill.Dec. 236, 711 N.E.2d 339 (1999); In re Marriage of McHenry, 292 Ill.App.3d 634, 640, 226 Ill.Dec. 887, 686 N.E.2d 670 (1997); In re Marriage of Auriemma, 271 Ill.App.3d 68, 74, 207 Ill.Dec. 662, 648 N.E.2d 118 (1994); In re Marriage of Dunseth, 260 Ill.App.3d 816, 830-31, 198 Ill.Dec. 620, 633 N.E.2d 82 (1994); In re Marriage of Isaacs, 260 Ill.App.3d 423, 429, 198 Ill.Dec. 169, 632 N.E.2d 228 (1994); In re Marriage of Thomas, 239 Ill.App.3d 992, 994-95, 181 Ill.Dec. 512, 608 N.E.2d 585 (1993); Head v. Head, 168 Ill.App.3d 697, 702, 119 Ill.Dec. 549, 523 N.E.2d 17 (1988) (all confusing the standards of review for the dissipation finding and for the final distribution of property or citing cases that do the same). For clarity, we correct the error here. A reviewing court applies the manifest weight of the evidence standard to the factual findings for each factor on which a trial court may base its property disposition, but it applies the abuse of discretion standard in reviewing the trial court's final property disposition (and how the trial court considers those factors). See In re Marriage of Phillips, 229 Ill.App.3d 809, 824-25, 171 Ill.Dec. 501, 594 N.E.2d 353 (1992) (properly applying abuse of discretion standard to final disposition of property and manifest weight standard to finding of no dissipation); O'Neill & Brody, 83 Ill. B.J. at 518. Accordingly, we apply the manifest weight of the evidence standard to respondent's second contention on appeal. Respondent argues that the trial court erred in finding dissipation as a result of respondent's cashing the Blackhawk Motors check, without the knowledge or consent of petitioner. However, petitioner testified as to the existence and amount of the check, the fact that she had not been given any of the proceeds from the check, and the fact that respondent had deposited the check in his personal bank account. The general principle is that the person charged with the dissipation is under an obligation to establish by clear and specific evidence how the funds were spent. Petrovich, 154 Ill.App.3d at 886, 107 Ill.Dec. 543, 507 N.E.2d 207. Here, petitioner testified that she did not know how the funds were spent, and respondent, due to the discovery sanctions imposed on him, was unable to present evidence as to how the funds were spent. Thus, he did not meet his obligation to establish by clear evidence how the funds were spent, and the trial court's finding of dissipation was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Respondent asserts that the trial court's finding of dissipation must be reversed because the court raised the issue of dissipation sua sponte and without argument from the parties. A reviewing court may reverse a sua sponte finding of dissipation where the party accused of dissipation was never given an opportunity to present evidence that the expenditures were reasonable. See Hahin, 266 Ill.App.3d at 171, 205 Ill.Dec. 788, 644 N.E.2d 4. However, a sua sponte finding of dissipation will not be reversed where the record is clear as to when the parties separated 352 and when the asset was dissipated, and where questioning concerning the dissipated asset put the parties on notice that the asset might be at issue. In re Marriage of Henke, 313 Ill.App.3d 159, 178, 245 Ill.Dec. 780, 728 N.E.2d 1137 (2000). Thus, where an attorney at trial inquired as to the location and value of a distribution from an individual retirement account but did not allege dissipation, the trial court correctly raised the issue of dissipation. Henke, 313 Ill.App.3d at 177-78, 245 Ill.Dec. 780, 728 N.E.2d 1137. Here, petitioner was questioned on her knowledge of the check, its value, and its location, and it is undisputed that the check was cashed after the parties had separated. Further, we note that, in any event, the discovery sanctions imposed on respondent precluded his offering evidence to establish that no dissipation occurred. Again, we find no abuse of discretion in the trial court's imposition of those sanctions, and we hold that the trial court did not err in raising the issue of dissipation. Finally, we note that petitioner did actually ask the court to find that respondent dissipated the check. During closing argument, petitioner's attorney asked that respondent "pay [petitioner] one-half of the amount of the check [to Blackhawk Motors] * . * * What happened to the proceeds of that check we have no idea but it's dissipation of a marital asset." Respondent's second argument is without merit. Respondent's third argument on appeal is that there was insufficient evidence to support the trial court's finding that the value of respondent's Hub City Motor Sports real estate was $125,000. Here, petitioner testified as to the value of the Hub City real estate, and, thus, there was competent evidence in the record upon which the trial court could have relied in valuing the real estate. Respondent notes a previous appraisal of the Hub City real estate, not introduced into evidence, that valued the property at $80,000. However, during cross-examination, petitioner stated that the lower appraisal came before substantial improvements on the property. The court's valuation of the real estate was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Respondent's fourth argument on appeal is that the trial court erred in valuing the equipment and fixtures at Hub City Motor Sports. He argues that the valuation was against the manifest weight of the evidence or, alternatively, that the value of the fixtures should have been included in the value of the Hub City real estate. However, just as she did for the Hub City building itself, petitioner testified as to the value of the fixtures and equipment in the Hub City building, and thus the trial court's valuation of the fixtures was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. There was little evidence concerning the nature of the fixtures petitioner testified generally to their existence and their approximate value. Thus, based on the evidence available to it, which was limited due to respondent's failure to comply with discovery, the trial court could have reasonably found that the equipment was not attached to the real estate and should have been valued separately from the real estate. Respondent's next argument on appeal is that the trial court erred in finding the existence and value of two Corvette automobiles. The trial court's judgment on property division states that "[t]he 1971 red and 1971 white [C]orvette automobiles shall be sold within 60 days in a manner which is agreed upon [by the parties] * * . * * Proceeds of sale after payment of any proper liens on said vehicle[s] shall be divided equally between the parties." Respondent argues, and our review of the record confirms, that, in describing 353 respondent's marital property, petitioner referred only to two white or gray Corvette automobiles and one blue Corvette automobile and that a reference to a red Corvette appears nowhere in the record. However, in her proposed apportionment (filed with the trial court), petitioner referred to two 1971 Corvettes, one silver and one with no color specified. In his statement of proposed apportionment (filed with the trial court), respondent admitted that "[t]wo 1971 Chevrolet Corvettes are correct [sic] identified in the [petitioner's] Disclosure. * * [Respondent] agrees that the vehicles can be sold, the indebtedness thereon paid and the equity divided equally between the parties." Therefore, we find that the trial court's memorandum order referred to these two 1971 Corvettes, even though it misidentified their colors. Especially in light of the fact that respondent specifically admitted the existence of the automobiles, we hold that the trial court's finding the existence of the automobiles was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Respondent's final argument on appeal is that the trial court erred in awarding attorney fees to petitioner. The party seeking an award of attorney fees must establish her inability to pay and the other spouse's ability to do so. In re Marriage of Puls, 268 Ill.App.3d 882, 889, 206 Ill.Dec. 520, 645 N.E.2d 525 (1994). Financial inability exists where requiring payment of fees would strip that party of her means of support or undermine her financial stability. Puls, 268 Ill.App.3d at 889, 206 Ill.Dec. 520, 645 N.E.2d 525. A trial court's decision to award or deny fees will be reversed only if the trial court abused its discretion. In re Marriage of Snow, 277 Ill.App.3d 642, 653, 214 Ill.Dec. 398, 660 N.E.2d 1347 (1996). Here, the trial court had evidence before it of the parties' relative financial positions, including petitioner's financial affidavit and respondent's answers to interrogatories. The trial court also stated that, in ruling on petitioner's attorney fees request, it had to determine "whether [petitioner] has the ability to pay her own attorney fees and whether [respondent] has the ability to pay said fees. This Court must make a determination whether the estate of the parties [sic] seeking the fees would be exhausted or the party's means of support would be inhibited and undermined if the fee award were not made." Thus, the trial court had ample evidence upon which to base its decision to award attorney fees to petitioner, and it applied the proper test in reaching its decision. We hold that the trial court's award of attorney fees to petitioner was not an abuse of discretion. For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the judgment of the trial court of Ogle County. Affirmed. BYRNE and CALLUM, JJ., concur. NOTES [1] Other cases applying the abuse of discretion standard simply misread appellate court precedent. For example, the court in Hahin cites Rai for the proposition that "[t]he trial court's finding as to dissipation will not be reversed on appeal absent an abuse of discretion." Hahin, 266 Ill.App.3d at 171, 205 Ill.Dec. 788, 644 N.E.2d 4. However, Rai clearly states that "a finding concerning dissipation will not be disturbed unless it is against the manifest weight of the evidence." Rai, 189 Ill.App.3d at 565, 136 Ill.Dec. 922, 545 N.E.2d 446. Several later cases rely on Hahin in asserting that the abuse of discretion standard applies. See In re Marriage of Cerven, 317 Ill.App.3d 895, 900, 252 Ill.Dec. 93, 742 N.E.2d 343 (2000); In re Marriage of Henke, 313 Ill.App.3d 159, 178, 245 Ill.Dec. 780, 728 N.E.2d 1137 (2000); Bennett, 306 Ill.App.3d at 248, 239 Ill.Dec. 428, 713 N.E.2d 1278.	2024-04-26T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/8576
November 18, 2017 Franz Schubert holds a special place in Tomoko’s musical heart. She performed his piano quintet opus 114 in A major, “Die Forelle/The Trout”, in Los Angeles, two months before her daughter’s birth. And she played it at her January 2017 concert. Schubert was also the first composer she played in the United States as a duet. Even earlier, Tomoko remembers attending a concert of the famous Bohemian pianist Rudolph Serkin, who was touring Japan in the 1950s. Tomoko bought a ticket in the cheapest seating section. Listening to him play Schubert's Fantasy for Piano Opus 15, Tomoko found herself crying nonstop for the first time at a concert; she felt, "This is what an artist is supposed to do." She thought that his performance was perfect, not just a technical feat. "It was the most gorgeous feeling in the world," she remembered. She also remarked, "My tear was like a diamond: a symbol of the most valuable and authentic emotion." The emotion Tomoko felt is not surprising since Schubert was one of the first Romantics. Tomoko noted his spontaneity: “For him, beauty came first.” She also noted: “Schubert never had a theory lesson. For him music was freedom.” Schubert was also a singer. Tomoko knows that Franz Schubert was recognized for his vocal talent as a youth, and caught the attention of Salieri, who became his most influential teacher. Schubert’s singing sensitivity led to his composing songs specifically for the voice of a young soprano he met. In the final analysis, Tomoko says: “I like Schubert. He is peaceful, and his quality of tone is memorable.”	2024-01-11T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/9200
We now live in a world where we have access to stupendous amounts of knowledge. How does this knowledge enable new and innovative ideas or does it? Mr. Starkweather will use the example of the laser printer as insight into imagination and the use of knowledge, and also look at other instances of innovation. Many companies no longer spend much money on “Imagination versus Knowledge” research and this is unfortunate. Eli Lilly said that research is the “Soul of the company, the heart of the business.” In 1899, the head of the U.S. Patent department said that the operation ought to be closed down, as all the good ideas have been invented. Since that statement, about 7 million patents have been issued. Imagination is very important. Mr. Starkweather will take a look at it and how it can be supported.	2024-07-02T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/5281
This week, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos saw his net worth soar above $150 billion, giving him the most billions among all the billionaires on the billionaire lists. Bill Gates, in second place, is worth a modest $94 billion, according to Forbes. Bezos first appeared on Forbes’ list in 1998, with a $1.6 billion fortune. He made that much this week alone, on paper, as Amazon’s shares jumped in anticipation of “bigger than ever” sales on Prime Day, which ran from Monday to Tuesday. Amazon is now worth nearly $900 billion, and Bezos owns around 16% of the company’s shares. He became the world’s richest person earlier this year. Although he is clearly doing pretty well for himself, a financial advisor might tell Bezos that he should consider diversifying his portfolio. It’s rarely wise to concentrate one’s wealth in a single asset, whether it’s a house or shares in a company you founded in a garage in the 1990s that now accounts for half of all e-commerce sales in the US. So let’s say Bezos wanted to add some exposure to Europe. He’s familiar with Luxembourg—Amazon does a lot of business there. He could buy some stocks there. Or, actually, he could buy all the stocks in Luxembourg. Twice. The Amazon founder’s vast wealth is enough to buy several countries’ stock markets outright. Currently, for example, he could purchase every company listed in Ireland, another popular place for tech firms, and still have a few billion dollars left over. Bezos may be better off, though, sticking with Amazon, which has gained more than 50% this year, adding around $50 billion—the total market cap of the Egyptian exchange—to the founder’s net worth. Correction: A previous version of the chart suggested that the Taiwan stock exchange is worth around $100 billion—it is, in fact, much bigger than that (around $1 trillion, well beyond even Bezos’ reach). The market cap of the smaller Taipei Exchange is around $100 billion; the chart now shows a different market of that size—Dubai.	2024-04-04T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/7911
Taxi operator ComfortDelGro and Uber announced on Friday (Dec 8) that they have entered into a strategic agreement to form a joint venture. 08 Dec 2017 05:48PM(Updated: 08 Dec 2017 06:34PM) Share this content Bookmark SINGAPORE: Taxi operator ComfortDelGro and Uber announced on Friday (Dec 8) that they have entered into a strategic agreement to form a joint venture. Under the agreement, which is subject to regulatory approval, ComfortDelGro will acquire a 51 per cent stake in Uber’s wholly-owned car rental subsidiary in Singapore, Lion City Holdings, the two parties said in a joint media release. Advertisement Advertisement The latter, in turn, operates Lion City Rentals which has a fleet of about 14,000 vehicles. Uber will retain the remaining 49 per cent. Valued at about S$642 million, with a cash consideration of S$295 million, it ranks as ComfortDelGro’s single largest deal to-date. The deal will "create a path" for ComfortDelGro’s taxi drivers to receive ride requests on the Uber driver app, the release said. It added that the transaction is expected to result in increased demand for both private hire and taxi drivers as well as increased choice, shorter waiting times, and greater reliability for consumers. Advertisement Advertisement "By leveraging each other’s strengths, the move will establish a multi-dimensional, personalised mobility operator, encompassing both taxi and private hire vehicles, and providing a wide range of local transport options in an increasingly competitive environment," the release said. ComfortDelGro called the deal a "win-win situation", with chairman Lim Jit Poh saying that the personalised mobility business has evolved greatly under the influence of apps such as Uber, subsequently changing the way consumers use public transportation and creating "a more efficient use of existing resources". "By working together, we feel that we will be able to unleash a lot of synergy which will benefit consumers and drivers alike," Mr Lim added. Uber’s chief business officer for Asia Pacific Brooks Entwistle said: "This joint venture is a testament to the tremendous potential of ride-sharing technology in this highly competitive local transportation market, and to our commitment to partnering for greater growth as we continue to build a sustainable global business." Cabby Harry Ng, who has driven with ComfortDelGro Taxi for 22 years, welcomed news of the tie-up. “I am excited about this latest development, and believe this is a good move for both companies and for us drivers. I'm looking forward to more booking jobs and more customers," he said. The two companies are also finalising additional partnership opportunities and will make further announcements in the upcoming months.	2023-09-10T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/8490
532 S.E.2d 846 (2000) NORTH CAROLINA FARM BUREAU MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Plaintiff, v. Sherry GURLEY, Jimmy D. Gurley, Guardian Ad Litem for Kathryn Lynn Gurley, and Wendy Woolard, by and through her Guardian Ad Litem, Gregory James, Defendants. No. COA99-861. Court of Appeals of North Carolina. July 18, 2000. 847 Pinto Coates Kyre & Brown, PLLC, by Paul D. Coates and Nancy R. Meyers, Greensboro, for plaintiff-appellant. Gaskins & Gaskins, P.A., by Herman E. Gaskins, Jr., Washington, for defendant-appellees Sherry Gurley and Kathryn Lynn Gurley. Ward & Smith, P.A., by V. Stewart Couch and A. Charles Ellis, Greenville, for defendant-appellee Wendy N. Woolard. LEWIS, Judge. This is a case of first impression involving the interpretation of our underinsured motorist ("UIM") statute, which appears in section 20-279.21(b)(4) of our General Statutes. Specifically, we address whether the applicable limit of coverage under that statute is the UIM carrier's per-person or per-accident limit. On 3 March 1996, an automobile owned and operated by defendant Kathryn Gurley collided with another automobile being driven by Charles Fornes. The accident resulted from Mr. Fornes' negligence. The three defendants, Kathryn Gurley and her two passengers, Sherry Gurley and Wendy Woolard, sustained serious injuries in the accident. At the time of the accident, Mr. Fornes was insured by Allstate Insurance Company ("Allstate") under a 25/50 liability policy (i.e. having applicable limits of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident). Pursuant to this policy, Allstate tendered its $50,000 limit to defendants, with the Gurleys each receiving $17,000 and Ms. Woolard receiving $16,000. Defendants then sought coverage under Sherry Gurley's UIM policy with North Carolina Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company ("Farm Bureau"). That policy had applicable limits of $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident. Farm Bureau then 848 instituted this declaratory judgment action to ascertain whether the per-person or per-accident limit was the applicable UIM limit. The trial court concluded that the per-person limit applied. From this order, Farm Bureau appeals. The North Carolina UIM statute necessitates a two-step analysis in resolving any UIM claims. First, we must address whether the insured is even eligible for UIM coverage. UIM coverage is available if two conditions are satisfied: (1) the negligent driver's automobile was an "underinsured highway vehicle"; and (2) the negligent driver's liability coverage has been exhausted. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-279.21(b)(4) (1999). Under our statute, an "underinsured highway vehicle" is: a highway vehicle with respect to the ownership, maintenance, or use of which, the sum of the limits of liability under all bodily injury liability bonds and insurance policies applicable at the time of the accident is less than the applicable limits of underinsured motorist coverage for the vehicle involved in the accident and insured under the owner's policy. Id. The respective liability and UIM limits are thus directly compared to each other. Because Mr. Fornes' insurance policy carried 25/50 liability coverage and Sherry Gurley's policy carried 50/100 UIM coverage, Mr. Fornes' automobile was an "underinsured highway vehicle." See generally Ray v. Atlantic Casualty Ins. Co., 112 N.C.App. 259, 261-62, 435 S.E.2d 80, 81, disc. review denied, 335 N.C. 559, 439 S.E.2d 151 (1993). Furthermore, given that Allstate tendered its $50,000 limit to defendants, Mr. Fornes' liability coverage has been exhausted. Thus, both conditions have been satisfied and defendants are entitled to UIM coverage. Once UIM coverage is available, the second step in applying our UIM statute is determining how much coverage the insureds are entitled to receive under the UIM policy. Our statute outlines the limit as follows: [T]he limit of underinsured motorist coverage applicable to any claim is determined to be the difference between the amount paid to the claimant under the exhausted liability policy or policies and the limit of underinsured motorist coverage applicable to the motor vehicle involved in the accident. N.C. Gen.Stat. § 20-279.21(b)(4) (emphasis added). Thus, each defendant here is entitled to "the limit of underinsured motorist coverage applicable," less the amount each received from Allstate under Mr. Fornes' liability policy. Our task then is to determine that applicable UIM limit. Farm Bureau contends that the applicable UIM limit is always the per-accident limit. Thus, in this case, defendants would be entitled to a total of $50,000 in UIM coverage (the $100,000 per-accident limit less the $50,000 combined they received from Allstate). Defendants, on the other hand, argue that the per-person limit is always the applicable limit. Under this interpretation, the two Gurleys would receive $33,000 each (the $50,000 per-person limit less the $17,000 already received) and Ms. Woolard would receive $34,000 (the $50,000 per-person limit less the $16,000 already received). Farm Bureau would thus be obligated to pay defendants $100,000 in total UIM coverage, which is within the $100,000 per-accident limit under the policy. The parties have cited Progressive Am. Ins. Co. v. Vasquez, 350 N.C. 386, 515 S.E.2d 8, reh'g denied, 350 N.C. 852, ___ S.E.2d ___ (1999), and Aills v. Nationwide Mutual Ins. Co., 88 N.C.App. 595, 363 S.E.2d 880 (1988), for their respective interpretations. We find neither case instructive, as each ultimately relies on the language of the UIM policy itself, rather than the UIM statute. Progressive, 350 N.C. at 396-97, 515 S.E.2d at 14; Aills, 88 N.C.App. at 598, 363 S.E.2d at 882. Furthermore, neither party's construction is entirely correct. The applicable UIM limit will not always be the same in every circumstance; it will vary. Specifically, we conclude that the applicable UIM limit under N.C. Gen.Stat. § 20-279.21(b)(4) will depend on two factors: (1) the number of claimants seeking coverage under the UIM policy; and (2) whether the negligent driver's liability policy was exhausted pursuant to a per-person or per-accident cap. 849 Quite intuitively, when only one UIM claimant exists, the per-person limit under the policy will be the applicable UIM limit. But when more than one claimant is seeking UIM coverage, as is the case here, how the liability policy was exhausted will determine the applicable UIM limit. In particular, when the negligent driver's liability policy was exhausted pursuant to the per-person cap, the UIM policy's per-person cap will be the applicable limit. However, when the liability policy was exhausted pursuant to the per-accident cap, the applicable UIM limit will be the UIM policy's per-accident limit. By way of illustration, suppose A and B are seriously injured due to the negligence of C, who has 100/300 liability coverage. In that situation, the per-person liability cap applies, and A and B each would receive $100,000. Suppose further that A has UIM coverage for A and B of 250/750. If both A and B then claim under the UIM policy, the $250,000 per-person UIM cap would also apply, because that was the limit used to exhaust the liability coverage. Thus A and B would each receive $150,000 from the UIM carrier ($250,000 less the $100,000 already received). In the case before us, however, we have three claimants who were compensated under the per-accident liability coverage limit. Now, the applicable UIM limit is also the per-accident UIM limit of $100,000. Accordingly, after the $50,000 liability payment is taken into account, defendants are entitled to a combined UIM compensation of $50,000, to be divided between the three of them. Our interpretation of the applicable UIM limit under the statute makes sense both logically and pragmatically. Logically, our interpretation provides internal consistency with the rest of the UIM statute. For instance, to determine whether UIM coverage even applies, the statute explicitly mandates that the UIM limits be compared directly with the negligent driver's liability limits. N.C. Gen.Stat. § 20-279.21(b)(4); Harris v. Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 332 N.C. 184, 188, 420 S.E.2d 124, 127 (1992). Because our legislature requires a comparison between the liability and UIM limits in determining the availability of UIM coverage, we conclude the legislature intended a similar comparison in determining the limit of that coverage. On the pragmatic side, a contrary interpretation of the applicable UIM limit would lead to absurd results. Specifically, interpreting the statute to mandate the per-person cap to be the applicable limit would result in defendants receiving more compensation than if Mr. Fornes had been either fully insured or uninsured altogether. For example, if Mr. Fornes' liability coverage had been 50/100 instead of 25/50, defendants would not have been entitled to any UIM coverage because his automobile would not have been an "underinsured highway vehicle." Thus, defendants would have received $100,000 total in liability coverage from his carrier. Likewise, if Mr. Fornes had been uninsured altogether, defendants would have again recovered a total of $100,000, this time in uninsured motorist ("UM") coverage. But under defendants' espoused interpretation, they would be entitled to $50,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in UIM coverage, for a grand total of $150,000 in compensation. This would give defendants a windfall simply because they were involved in an accident with an underinsured motorist, as opposed to an insured or uninsured motorist. We do not believe our legislature intended such a result. After all, the purpose of UM and UIM insurance is the same"to compensate innocent victims of financially irresponsible motorists." Bray v. N.C. Farm Bureau Mut. Ins. Co., 341 N.C. 678, 684, 462 S.E.2d 650, 653 (1995). Since the purpose is the same, no windfall should be created as between the two. In this regard, we find the words of the Colorado Supreme Court to be very insightful: While we realize that the insureds will never be fully compensated for their loss, we see no evidence that the legislature intended to award the insureds more than they would have received if the tortfeasor had been insured or uninsured. Union Ins. Co. v. Houtz, 883 P.2d 1057, 1065 (Colo.1994) (en banc); see also Mutual of Enumclaw Ins. Co. v. Key, 131 Or.App. 130, 883 P.2d 875, 877 (1994) ("UIM coverage is intended to place a policy holder in the same 850 position that the policy holder would have been in if the tortfeasor had had liability coverage equal to the amount of the UM/UIM coverage.") (emphasis added). Although we have concluded that the UIM statute, as applied here, mandates use of the $100,000 per-accident UIM limit, this does not end our inquiry. Farm Bureau's policy itself of course could provide more UIM coverage than that required by statute. We therefore must next consider the policy language to determine whether that is the case. Farm Bureau prescribes the following limit to its UIM coverage: The most we will pay under this [UM/UIM] coverage is the lesser of the amount by which the: a. limit of liability for this coverage; or b. damages sustained by an insured for bodily injury; exceeds the amount paid under all bodily injury liability bonds and insurance policies applicable to the insured's bodily injury. (Emphasis added). Defendants again contend that the "limit of [UIM] liability" here is the per-person limit. We disagree. This provision is the exclusive provision for calculating the amount of UIM coverage. It outlines a simple one-step formula: subtract the amount of liability coverage received from the maximum UIM limit. Here, that calculation requires subtracting the $50,000 defendants received from the $100,000 UIM per-accident limit. Under defendants' interpretation, however, we would subtract the amount received by each defendant ($16,000 in the case of Ms. Woolard and $17,000 each in the case of the Gurleys) from the $50,000 per-person limit to compute the UIM coverage. But this interpretation never accounts for the $100,000 per-accident limit. Defendants' interpretation would thus force an extra step to be added to the UIM formula to ensure that the per-accident UIM limit is taken into accounta step that is nowhere contemplated in either the above provision or elsewhere in the policy. Specifically, that step would require adding the respective UIM coverages as to each claimant ($34,000 in the case of Ms. Woolard and $33,000 each in the case of the Gurleys) and then comparing this sum with the per-accident UIM limit to ensure that limit is not exceeded. As stated, this extra step is nowhere suggested within the UIM policy. Accordingly, under these facts, we construe the term "limit of [UIM] liability" here to mean the $100,000 per-accident limit. We therefore reverse the trial court's entry of summary judgment in favor of defendants and remand for entry of summary judgment in favor of Farm Bureau. Reversed and remanded.

Mary Virginia Cook Parrish Mary Virginia Cook Parrish (August 8, 1862 – October 11, 1945) was an early proponent of Black Baptist feminism, working to gain equality and social justice for all. After being given the opportunity to further her education, Cook-Parrish taught, wrote and spoke on many issues such as women's suffrage, equal rights in the areas of employment and education, social and political reform, and the importance of religion and a Christian education. She was at the founding session of the National Association of Colored Women in 1896 at the 19th Street Baptist Church in Washington D.C. and was a founder of the National Baptist Women's Convention in 1900. Background and education Mary Virginia Cook Parrish grew up in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Because of her location and her race, she was given very few academic opportunities. However, she was persistent and was finally given the opportunity to attend some of the black schools in the area. As she progressed throughout school she showed that she had excellent academic ability and soon became known as the best intellectual in the city. In 1981, she was awarded a book prize for being the top reader and a silver cup for being crowned the winner at a tri-school spelling bee. As she began to win these titles, more people in the surrounding areas took notice of her academic excellence. Soon after receiving these awards, Dr. William J. Simmons, President of State University (later Simmons University), along with a group of women from the American Baptist Woman's Hope Society offered to pay for her to attend the university. Upon entering the university, Cook-Parrish studied in the normal department as well as teaching classes. Cook-Parrish graduated at the top of her class, with an A.B. degree from the normal school, and continued on to become a professor and Principal of the normal school department at Simmons University. In this role, she traveled extensively to raise funds for Simmons University, lecturing on the importance of a Christian education. Renowned speaker Coming from a background where gaining an education was a struggle and a great privilege, Cook-Parrish understood the severity in the amount of discrimination and inequality faced in the realms of education, societal conventions, and human rights. Her mission work with white Baptist missionary women expanded her inter-organizational alliances. Parrish spoke at a number of Baptist Conventions on the importance of an equal education for all, women's rights and social reform. In 1893 she had been elected the recording secretary of the National Baptist Educational Convention. As she continued to address these issues she came to be a famed and passionate speaker within the women's sphere. Work as a journalist As a natural progression, Cook-Parrish moved from speaking to writing and was able to get her ideas and words out to many more people. Just as she spoke on many of the important issues of the times, she wrote about gaining a better education system for females and African Americans, public reform, the significance of receiving a Christian education, and equality in all areas of society. She wrote for a variety of different newspapers and magazines including columns for The South Carolina Tribune and American Baptist. She became the editor of the Educational Department for the African American Baptist magazine, Our Women and Children. She also wrote articles for Hope, a missionary magazine that provided important communication to black women activists who attended the Black Baptist women's state conventions. In an edition of the woman's column in the journal American Baptist, she wrote: White faces seem to think it their heaven-born right to practice civil war on negroes, to the extent of blood-shed and death. They look upon the life of their brother in black as a bubble to be blown away at their pleasure. The same spirit that existed in the South twenty-four years ago, is still recognized in its posterity. The negro is still clothed in swarthy skin, and he is still robbed of his rights as a citizen, made clear and fairly won to him by the death of those who fell in the late Rebellion. The outrage cannot endure. While working at these publications, she fought her own battles. Oftentimes she would have to argue with the male editors of the papers to even get her ideas printed and wrote under the pen name of Grace Ermine. She didn't give up though and soon rose to positions of leadership despite the traditional reliance on males to set policy and exercise power in religious leadership roles. She worked diligently to have her ideas published so that the community could know what a great problem was facing society and so that more people would join her cause and work for a better tomorrow. Marriage and life as a pastor's wife On January 26, 1898, after working for a short time as a secretary for the Eckstein Norton Institute in Cane Springs, Kentucky, she married Charles Henry Parrish. Parrish at that time was president of Eckstein Norton Institute, pastor of Louisville's Calvary Baptist Church, and president of the Executive Board of the General Association of Negro Baptists in Kentucky. She moved back to Louisville to work as the financial secretary for her husband's church. The following year, their son, Charles H. Parrish, Jr. was born. Parrish and her husband led the establishment of the Kentucky Home Finding Society for Colored Children in Louisville in 1908, and she served on the board until it was closed in 1937. Under her leadership in the women's auxiliary unit, the National Baptist Convention in 1909 created the National Training School for Women and Girls in Washington D.C. As chair of the Board of Trustees, Parrish was responsible for that school's education of more than 2,000 women in the early 20th century. Parrish led the efforts of the Louisville affiliate of the National Association of Colored Women in addressing education reform, health care and child welfare. She was instrumental in hosting the Thirteenth Annual Convention of the National Association in Louisville in 1910. The black women's clubs in Kentucky became an important leadership avenue for those as ambitious and educated as Parrish. Activist In the 1930s when Parrish learned she could not join a Parent Teacher Association in Louisville, Kentucky, she organized her own in the city's black-only school. She refused to accept that black children were without a playground and showed up at the mayor's office to demand one be built. Three weeks later, the children had their playground. When she brought ten little girls with her to the local YWCA, "they called the police and said you may not stay here, these children are not welcome." She then organized a new chapter: the Phillis Wheatley (West End) YWCA. She also served as the first president of the Colored Republican's Women's Club in Louisville. In 1932 she served as an alternate delegate to the National Republican Convention in Chicago. Legacy Mary Virginia Cook-Parrish worked towards gaining equality for all in society. She spoke out and wrote about the issues of women's rights and equality in education for African Americans and women. She got the word out that what was happening in society was not fair and needed to be fixed. Cook-Parrish set the stepping stones for the greater civil rights movement that was to come.

Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Fun Menu Conan heading to TBS! I really did expect him to go to Fox, but TBS actually makes some sense for King of the funny Gingers. While at the center of a joke, Conan announced today via his twitter that he’s going to have a new show on TBS this November. The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November! The bad news: I’ll be playing Rudy on the all new Cosby Show. Now, while Fox might seem like a better fit for the somewhat edgier writing of Conan and his staff, they have tried late night shows in the past and they haven’t worked for the channel, the most prominent example being the Chevy Chase Show. The other big issue would be direct competition with the other late-night shows. TBS on the other hand is a basic cable network, and late-night shows tend to bring in a smaller audience, but allow for more distinct and creative writing. Shows like The Colbert Report and The Daily Show have thrived on Comedy Central for years. At this point I can only really wonder what will happen to the skits and characters that have become so associated with Conan O’brien. Triumph, being a creation of Robert Smigel not Conan’s Show, will likely be returning to the show, but things like Conando and the masturbating Bear might be gone forever. Still, some Conan is better than no Conan, masturbating bear or not. November seems like a long way away, but is much close than most probably expected with Conan not being able to be on TV until September.	2023-12-07T01:27:17.760571	https://example.com/article/7559
