2. The Prior Art It has been known that the cervical mucus of a female has a maximum fluidity just before ovulation, where ovulation is defined as the moment that an ovum is released from the follicle. This knowledge lead to the applicant's previous activities in the development of techniques for monitoring the viscoelasticity, or tackiness, and other properties of cervical mucus as a predictor of time of ovulation and to improvements in rheometer or viscometer apparatus for measuring such viscoelastic properties. See, for example, L. E. Kopita and H. J. Kosasky, "The Tackiness Rheometer Determination of the Viscoelasticity of Cervical Mucus," Human Ovulation, edited by E. S. E. Hafez, Elsevier, North-Holland Biomedical Press, 1979, pp. 351 et seq., and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,002,056 and 4,167,110. Though the viscoelasticity of the cervical mucus has several small dips in its characteristic curve of viscosity versus time preceding, during, and following ovulation (a four-day period), there is a distinct identifiable minimum viscoelasticity. Instruments designed to measure this effect are described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,002,056 and 4,072,045. Saliva is now known to undergo chemical changes during the menstrual cycle, including a change in its viscoelasticity. Especially pronounced is the change in viscoelasticity of sublingual saliva, the saliva found under the tongue. See, for example, S. S. Davis, "Saliva is Viscoelastic", Experientia, 26:1298, (1970), and R. H. Davis et al., "Saliva Viscosity Reflects the Time of Ovulation", Experientia, 30:911, (1974). As described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,779,627, issued on Oct. 25, 1988 to the present applicant, and entitled PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING FEMALE OVULATION TIME BY MEASUREMENT OF SALIVA VISCOELASTICITY, incorporated herein by reference, the applicant previously discovered that sublingual saliva has a unique and reliably measurable minimum in viscoelasticity that is coincident with the ovulation cycle and its surge of estradiol.

In 1917, Stelle was hired by the Board of Trustees of the Tampa Free Library to serve as its first director. The brand new Tampa Free Library was funded by well known industrialist and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie, who donated $50,000 for the library to be built, along with funds supplemented by the city. Although the library had been built by 1915, it officially opened in April 1917 and Stelle was in the receiving line, along with the Library Board, to greet its first visitors. In opening the new library, Stelle had the difficult task of not only buying the materials to stock the shelves but also in "selling" the idea of a library to the community. The location of the library was inconvenient for people to access and the residents of Tampa were at first, uninterested in any library services. Stelle was able to secure a donation of 4000 volumes from Mr. and Mrs. L.H. Lothridge to start the library collection and worked with Mayor Curtis Hixon to bring bus routes near the library to increase accessibility. Stelle oversaw the daily operations of the library which included organizing staff and selecting new materials. She also reported regularly to the Carnegie Corporation about the finances and state of the Carnegie libraries in Tampa. After seven years as director, Stelle was able to add 25,621 books to the collection, as well as 141 periodical subscriptions. Her and her staff also conducted "story hours" for children at some of the local branches with a monthly attendance of over 1,000. More proof of her success was given in 1927, when Stelle presented to the Rotary Club in Tampa and showed how the library "operated at a lower cost per book and patron than any library in a city of like population". Under her direction, library service in the Tampa area expanded to included eight new branches and the addition of bookmobile service. In 1932, Stelle took a leave of absence from the Tampa Free Library and traveled to Charleston, South Carolina to oversee and organize the opening of a new library. Stelle was recommended for the task by the American Library Association due to her successful record in Tampa. While in Charleston, Stelle evaluated the current library staff and conditions of the facility. She noted that many of the staff, particularly those working at the African American branch, needed proper library training and that many files and records in the library were inaccurate or out of order. She recommended enlarging the library's collection and emphasized obtaining more children's books for their simplicity,

We will prove that a finite group all of whose sections $S$ satisfy $\varphi(S)\neq 0$ is nilpotent. Assume that $G$ is a counterexample of minimal order. Then $G$ is a Schmidt group since all its proper subgroups satisfy the hypothesis. By [@8] (see also [@2; @7]) it follows that $G$ is a solvable group of order $p^mq^n$ (where $p$ and $q$ are different primes) with a unique Sylow $p$-subgroup $P$ and a cyclic Sylow $q$-subgroup $Q$, and hence $G$ is a semidirect product of $P$ by $Q$. Moreover, we have: - if $Q=\langle y\rangle$ then $y^q\in Z(G)$; - $Z(G)=\Phi(G)=\Phi(P)\times\langle y^q\rangle$, $G'=P$, $P'=(G')'=\Phi(P)$; - $|P/P'|=p^r$, where $r$ is the order of $p$ modulo $q$; - if $P$ is abelian, then $P$ is an elementary abelian $p$-group of order $p^r$ and $P$ is a minimal normal subgroup of $G$; - if $P$ is non-abelian, then $Z(P)=P'=\Phi(P)$ and $|P/Z(P)|=p^r$. We infer that $S=G/Z(G)$ is also a Schmidt group of order $p^rq$ which can be written as semidirect product of an elementary abelian $p$-group $P_1$ of order $p^r$ by a cyclic group $Q_1$ of order $q$ (note that $S_3$ and $A_4$ are examples of such groups). Clearly, we have $$\exp(S)=pq.$$On the other hand, it is easy to see that $$L(S)=L(P_1)\cup\{Q_1^x \mid x\in S\}\cup\{S\}.$$Thus, the section $S$ does not have cyclic subgroups of order $pq$ and consequently $\varphi(S)=0$, a contradiction. This completes the proof. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a supporter of Spay/Neuter and Release Programs, I was a little miffed that the rational behind the new law was, in part, the number of songbirds “murdered” annually in Wisconsin by feline vagabonds. Obviously, a hungry cat will find a way to eat something on the food chain, and songbirds must be a tasty delicacy to feral cats. Of course, there are natural and mechanized predators of cats, i.e., the fisher cat, and the coyote, to name just two, and the automobile or assault rifle . . . but I guess there’s a shortage of the natural kind in Wisconsin. Not to worry. When it comes to various life forms, Americans have adopted the abortion and death-with-dignity mantras of “disposability.” In fact, it started with animals. If it’s too plentiful, annoying, inconvenient, too much trouble to deal with, or sickly, it gets killed. (Next year, the residents of Wisconsin will complain about the over-population of songbirds, bird droppings on cars, the diseases birds carry, or the noise pollution they produce.) It was Wisconsin’s hunters who demanded the demise of feral cats because they’re doing what comes naturally—hunting for their food. Evidently, they cut into the hunters’ prey—the stuff that can’t be bought at the local Piggly Wiggly, A & P, or Wal-Mart. Please don’t get me wrong. Hunting is a sport that’s good outdoor fun, keeps us well armed as citizens, and preserves specific groups of animals in the wild (except feral cats who no one wants to preserve). By the same token, cats control the rodent and bug populations. The cat haters were also in on passage of the new law. Cats carry horrible diseases, they claimed. It’s true. Cats can transmit cat fever, which is no laughing matter, and cat scratches and bites can be quite serious if not treated immediately. Of course, anyone who goes near a feral cat without an updated tetanus shot, protective gloves, and a large towel for wrapping the animal so it feels secure is either nuts or ignorant. A wild animal will not love

I have a malocclusion however. So ymmv perhaps. Ask your dentist for a jaw relax program. It's just 5-6 simple exercises you do with your jaw, (I could upload a copy of my pdf if you'd like). Something I'm looking into now is myofunctional training/exersices (haven't tried yet). The "science" on it doesn't seem 100% yet, and mostly promoted by one company. Thoughts? Edit: forgot to mention that physiotherapy helped immensely as well. I had poor posture/forward tilting head, which i believe i feel into due to my malocclusion. Perhaps be wary of aches/bad alignment/discomfort in neck and shoulders and see whether physio for that could help alleviate. ~~~ bperk Would like to see the jaw exercises PDF if you'd be willing to share. ~~~ mrwww there are several; [https://www.mah.se/fakulteter-och-omraden/Odontologiska- faku...](https://www.mah.se/fakulteter-och-omraden/Odontologiska- fakulteten/Avdelning-och-kansli/Klinisk-bettfysiologi/Tandvard/Program-for- rorelsetraning/) I'm using the first one.

Structure, interactions and effects on activity of the 5'-terminal region of human telomerase RNA. Telomerase is an enzyme that catalyzes addition of telomeric repeat sequences to the 3'-termini of eukaryotic chromosome DNA. The catalytic core of telomerase consists of a protein component, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), for the catalysis and an RNA component, telomerase RNA (TR), containing the template for the sequence. Human telomerase RNA (hTR) consists of 451 nucleotides

Endotoxin-free fetal bovine serum (FBS), RPMI 1640 and Lympholyte (Cedarlane Laboratories) were purchased from EuroClone (Milan, Italy). \[L-2,3,4-^3^H\]Arginine (45-70 Ci/mmol) was obtained from Perkin-Elmer (Monza, Italy). rGM-CSF for in vitro experiments (ReliaTech) was purchased from TebuBio (Milan, Italy). Sigma-Aldrich (Milan, Italy) was the source of all the other chemicals. Results ======= Case history ------------ The patient is an Italian male, currently aged 21. Only one mutant allele of *SLC7A7*gene was identified in the patient: this mutation, p.M50K (c.149T \> A), is located in the TM domain I and causes the substitution of a highly conserved amino acid. The p.M50K mutation was inherited from the father \[[@B20]\]. Although several groups have tried to identify the mutation inherited by the mother, these attempts have been thus far unsuccessful. The clinical history of the patient was already described in two papers \[[@B21],[@B22]\]. Briefly, in the eighth month of life the baby was diagnosed as affected by LPI and, at the age of 15, a PAP was diagnosed based on Computed Tomography (CT) scan of a crazy paving pattern and of a mild restrictive ventilatory impairment. The patient was treated by whole lung lavage (WLL) according to the current standard of care. At a control chest CT scan performed 9 months after the WLL, the crazy paving pattern was almost totally resolved, but the lung density was slightly, diffusely increased with respect to normal lungs. After 4 years, the patient was newly admitted for fever and hypoxemia, and the lung CT scan revealed the relapse of PAP (Figure [2A](#F2){ref-type="fig"}). On January 2009 he underwent a WLL which resulted in an immediate improvement. The benefit this time was transient, and on March 2009 he was newly admitted to our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) because of severe respiratory failure. The third WLL, performed on March 2009, was complicated by an acute alveolar haemorrhage with acute anaemia, and the patient was treated with non-invasive ventilation and red blood cell transfusion. The persistence of respiratory failure suggested patient refractoriness to WLL and

standard way to make crispy sweet potato fries? I've been looking for a way to fry (not bake) sweet potatoes, maybe like the double-fry method for russet and russet-like potatoes, to get a crispy exterior. Maybe I'm missing something but I'm having difficulty finding something for sweet potatoes (of any kind). I've consulted my cookbook library, and I haven't come across much. I've had mixed experiences with blog recipes, so I trust them less, but maybe this Munchies single-fry-from-frozen sweet potato fries article (which I will try this weekend) has some truth to it?: Ingredients: 2 pounds large orange-fleshed sweet potatoes 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch Peanut oil, for frying 1 cup clubsoda or water Kosher or fine sea salt Instructions: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and make enough room in the freezer for said baking sheet. Peel the sweet potatoes, if desired, and cut them lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick batons (fry shapes). Place them in a bowl with the baking soda and 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and toss. Arrange the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching. Freeze them until rock hard, at least 3 hours. If making fries later, transfer to a gallon-size zip-top freezer bag; they will keep frozen for up to 2 weeks. Pour the oil into a large, heavy pot, preferably a Dutch oven, that's fitted with a deep-fry thermometer to a depth of 2 inches. Set the pot over medium heat and begin gently warming the oil to 375ºF. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup cornstarch and the club soda. Stack several layers of brown paper on a baking sheet. When the oil reaches 375ºF, drop a handful of sweet potatoes into the cornstarch mixture and coat evenly. Lift them from the bowl, letting any excess drip into the bowl, and carefully add them to the oil. Fry, stirring with a spider so they do not stick to the bottom of the pot, until deep golden brown and cooked through

Meanwhile, an encoder is an operating circuit for receiving source data d(X) and generating a code word of a regulated form. The code word has k source data symbols and (n-k) parity symbols among a total of n symbols. The source data d(X) is data of the unit of k symbols supplied to the encoder from a signal source, and if the source data d(X) is determined, the parity is generated by a generator polynomial. In the case of C3 of the DDS format, since n=46 and k=44, two parities are produced and the generator polynomial g(X) is as follows: ##EQU1## The generator polynomial g(X) is an important expression for generating the parity in an encoding process, and a key for correcting an error as well as checking whether an error is generated in received data in a decoding process. In the DDS format, the recorded and reproduced data is processed by the unit of a group. As shown in FIG. 1, one group consists of 22 frames and a 23rd frame is an ECC frame for recording a parity with respect to the 22 frames. One frame of a DAT has two tracks of positive (+) and negative (-) azimuths, and the data allocation of a main region in one frame is shown in FIG.2. In the case of the DAT, there is data of 5760 bytes while a drum is rotating once, i.e., during 30 msec, and a sampling frequency thereof is 48 KHz. As shown in FIG.2, the total number of data produced in one frame of the tape is 5824 bytes (1456 words). Moreover, a word number 0 is called a header and the ECC processing for the header is not performed. In addition, 64 bytes (word numbers 1440 to 1455) obtained by subtracting 5760 bytes generated during one rotation of a drum from 5824 bytes of the total number of data in one frame are filled with "0's". On the other hand, C3 (46,44) performs encoding with respect to 5756 bytes except for the header among 5760 bytes generated during each 30 msec period. Through the ECC process, even if there is an error in one frame among 22 frames in one group when reproducing data, it is possible to correct the error. That is, if an error occurs in one symbol out of 44 symbols of the source data d(X), the error can be detected and corrected. However,

The Burgkirche was a Reformed Protestant church of the Prussian Union in Königsberg, Prussia. History After the conversion of the Hohenzollern elector John Sigismund of Brandenburg, also Duke of Prussia from 1612, the first Calvinist service was performed in 1616 by the Hessian court chaplain Johannes Crocius in a hall of Königsberg Castle. In 1662 the 'Great Elector' Frederick William ordered the building of a new Reformed church and Latin school in the Burgfreiheit quarter near the castle, granting land near a slaughterhouse. The transfer of land only occurred in 1665, however, and the initiative was halted until the 1680s. In 1687 the court expanded the grounds for the church by purchasing a garden on the Schlossteich pond north of the former slaughterhouse from Oberburggraf Ahasverus von Lehndorff. The new Baroque church was built from 1690–96; Johann Arnold Nering modeled it after the sober appearance of the Nieuwe Kerk in The Hague. It was dedicated in the presence of the new King in Prussia, Frederick I on 23 January 1701. By 1819 the German reformed church was known simply as the Burgkirche (Castle Church). The wooden vault of the nave was covered with stucco, and only the apses had a stellar vault. The pulpit was on the long side of the nave covered with a crown. The organ was the work of Johann Josua Mosengel's assistant Georg Siegmund Caspari (1693–1741), who built the instrument as his “Probstück“ (=masterpiece) under Mosengel's supervision. It was, like many organs in Konigsberg, decorated with the Prussian eagle and is considered to be the last new built organ in the area of East Prussia, which was equipped with a choir organ. Commissioned by commerce official Charles Cabrit, the church's portal was designed in 1727 with allegorical sandstone figures of justice, love and, charity. Between 1817 and 1945 the congregation formed part of the Evangelical Church in Prussia, a church body comprising Reformed, Lutheran and United Protestant congregations. The church was severely damaged by the 1944 Bombing of Königsberg in World War II and burnt out completely. The remnants were demolished by the

In order to simplify our search algorithm (at the cost of making it overall less efficient), we shall for each rational length of $S$ look at the set of possible denominators of the angles involved in $S'$ realising said length, and at the set of denominators realising any possible rational length of $S - S'$. Then we shall obtain a list of possible denominators $\delta_a$, $\delta_b$, $\delta_c$, $\delta_d$ that $a = \frac{\nu_a}{\delta_a} \pi$, $b = \frac{\nu_b}{\delta_b} \pi$, $c = \frac{\nu_c}{\delta_c} \pi$, $d = \frac{\nu_d}{\delta_d} \pi$ may have, and choose their numerators $\nu_a$, $\nu_b$, $\nu_c$, $\nu_d$ so that $0 < a$, $b$, $c$, $d < \pi$. If any number of the form $\frac{\nu}{\delta} \pi$ equals $0$, then we assume $\delta = \infty$. Such an approach is still practically reasonable, and takes about $90$ minutes in total to run in `SageMath` [@Sage] on a MacPro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor with 8 Mb RAM. An observation from Galois theory implies that if $S = \cos a + \cos b + \cos c + \cos d$ has rational length $1$, then the list of possible denominators of angles in $S$ is $L_0= \{ 1, 2, 3, \infty \}$. If $S$ has rational length $2$ realised by a sub-sum $S'$, then the list of possible denominators in $S'$ is $L_1 = \{ 3, 5 \}$ as indicated by item $3$ of Theorem \[thm:cj\], while the denominators in $S - S'$ can belong either to $L_0$ or to $L_1$. If $S$ has rational length $3$ realised by a sub-sum $S'$, then the denominators of angles in $S'$ belong either to the list $L_2 = \{ 3, 7 \}$, or to $L_3 = \{ 3, 5, 15 \}$, as indicated by items $4$, $5$ and $6

Oct. 12: The story of astronaut Neil Armstrong and his remarkable accomplishments in space are explored in “First Man,” with Ryan Gosling playing the Ohio native who landed on the moon in 1969. Gosling reteams with director Damien Chazelle (“La La Land”), and the strong cast also features Claire Foy, Kyle Chandler and Jason Clarke . Robert Redford has said “The Old Man & the Gun” will be his farewell to acting. It is based on the true story of serial bank robber Forrest Tucker, who kept up his larcenous ways well into his 70s . A confluence of weird, dark and desperate characters find themselves at a rundown Lake Tahoe hotel for one crazy night in “Bad Times at the El Royale.” Chris Hemsworth, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm and Jeff Bridges star.

The District Court observed that, in June 2017, Scanno rejected a settlement offer which allowed her to recover the maximum statutory award of $1,000, only to incur twenty-five hours of additional legal services and accept the very same offer three months later. Scanno’s rejection of the June 2017 settlement offer appears to have been driven primarily by counsel’s independent belief that the offer did not account for all attorney’s fees incurred since the commencement of the litigation. 13 Even considering that Scanno’s counsel brought this suit as a class action, the case was ultimately settled on an

(I'm aware this may make impossible to use some web frameworks which rely on rdbms reflection, but I have the feeling this is not the case) ~~~ xd Sorry, but how is PHP at fault? You can shoot yourself in the foot with _ANY_ programming language. ~~~ Natsu PHP has been known to provide convenient footguns in the past (e.g. register_globals, mercifully depreciated), so it's not surprising that security-minded people give it a hard time. Think of it as the difference between the language keeping loaded footguns under its pillow with the safety off and keeping unloaded footguns in a locked gun safe. One is a lot less likely to get used than the other, even if either one will shoot your foot just as well. ~~~ xd Rehashing old design floors is not an excuse to blame PHP for programmer error. ~~~ prodigal_erik It doesn't seem fair to call a defect "old" if it wasn't seriously addressed between then and now. I had to pick up PHP (presumably because of heinous sins in a past life) and every tutorial I saw was _still_ pasting user input into non-parameterized queries.

The long term objective of this research is to understand the mechanism and pathways by which eukaryotic cells identify and eliminate defective RNA molecules as a way to ensure accuracy in gene expression. Alternative pre-mRNA processing is a fundamental means through which the complexity of the human proteome is enriched. However, pre-mRNA processing steps can be error prone due to reaction speed and the subtlety of processing signals. To handle these errors, cells have evolved multiple RNA quality control systems that minimize the expression of defective RNAs

Intrinsic whole number bias in humans. Humans have great difficulty comparing quotients including fractions, proportions, and probabilities and often erroneously isolate the whole numbers of the numerators and denominators to compare them. Some have argued that the whole number bias is a compensatory strategy to deal with difficult comparisons. We examined adult humans' preferences for gambles that differed only in numerosity, and not in factors that influence their expected value (probabilities and stakes). Subjects consistently preferred gambles with more winning balls

A: In the realm of natural language, the "ideas a language can be used to express" are basically "any": all languages are capable of expressing any idea, so there's only one category of expressive type. Languages do differ in the way that they express a given idea. Assume a language Gwambomambo which lacks the word "recursion". That very word could be introduced into the language, just as "ballet" or "ghee" was introduced into English; or, a word might be invented using traditional roots of the language (e.g. "thing sits on itself"). Some languages have specific tenses for negative propositions and some use words like "not" to convey the idea; some languages have different forms of words to indicate that there is just one, or many, or maybe even just two, of the thing in question – other languages don't do this but do allow you to say "1 child", "many children", "more than 1 child" etc. The greatest disparity between languages is lexical differences, that is the fact that we need a long expression to convey the notion "2 year old male reindeer", whereas languages spoken by reindeer-herding cultures usually have a single word for this. A: In computer science, one essential property of all Turing-complete languages is that they are able to describe, "in their own way", how they themselves work. For example, you can use a Turing machine to express how a Turing machine works. Similarly, you can write, for example, a Prolog program that can interpret Prolog programs. In the linguistic realm, it would seem to me that an analogon of "Turing completeness" is a language that can express concepts of the language itself. For example, you can use English to describe English grammar, English words etc. Similarly, you can use Latin to describe Latin grammar. But you will in all likelihood not be able to use a language consisting of, say, 3 different whistled tones to describe how the tones themselves are constructed and related. This follows from the simple fact that the vocabulary and grammar are too restricted to talk about anything on the meta-level, or at least under reasonable assumptions (note that you can encode any information even with a single whistled tone, by reasoning about the time intervals between different occurrences of the tone).

Approaches that are more consistent with the teachings of this invention attempt to reduce the intersymbol interference at or near the receiver, or intermediate the transmitter and the receiver. Essentially any medium capable of providing a sufficient dispersion opposite to that of the optical fiber can serve as an optical pulse equalizer. For example it is known to use a special optical fiber having an equal chromatic dispersion at a required operating wavelength but opposite in sign to that of the transmitting fiber. Other methods include the use of fiber Bragg gratings as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,909,295 in the name of Li et al., and disclosed by Shigematsu et al., in U.S. Pat. No. 5,701,188 assigned to Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., and the use of planar lightwave circuit (PLC) delay equalizers. Unfortunately, special compensating fiber has a high insertion loss and in many applications is not a preferable choice. Fiber gratings are generally not preferred for some field applications due to their narrow bandwidth, and fixed wavelength. PLCs are also narrow band, although tunable devices; fabricating a PLC with large dispersion equalization remains to be difficult. Shigematsu et al. disclose a hybrid of both of these less preferred choices; dispersion compensating fibre with chirped Bragg gratings. The exact amount of dispersion compensation required for a particular installed fiber link may not be known, and may vary with wavelength or environmental conditions such as temperature. Therefore, it is desirable to have a device capable of providing a tunable amount of dispersion compensation, to simplify installation and to provide real-time control of dispersion. In a paper entitled xe2x80x9cOptical Equalization to Combat the Effects of Laser Chirp and Fiber Dispersionxe2x80x9d published in the Journal of Lightwave Technology. Vol. 8, No. 5, May 1990, Cimini L. J. et al. describe an optical equalizer capable of combating the effects of laser chirp and fiber chromatic dispersion on high-speed long-haul fiber-optic communications links at 1.55 xcexcm. Also discussed is a control scheme for adaptively positioning the equalizer response frequency. Cimini et al. describe a device having only one common input/output port at a first partially reflective mirror and a second 100% reflective mirror together forming a cavity. The control scheme described attempts to track signal wavelength by obtaining feedback from a receiver. The amplitude

Origins The first ferry service in the region was put in place by the founder of Halifax Edward Cornwallis, who used the ferry service to move raw materials and people from a sawmill located on the Dartmouth side of the harbour. During this time there was no official service and it was not until 1752, after a council meeting, that the first ferry charter was issued to John Connor This began the official ferry service between Halifax and Dartmouth. At this time regulations stated that the boats would be run from sunrise until sunset through weekdays with a fare of three pence. In these early stages there was no schedule. Patrons would simply walk down to the pier and be taken across as needed. Connor operated the ferry for only one year and after his departure the operation of the ferry changed hands twice more before 1786. History The first true ferry to be employed in the harbour was not until 1816 the Sherbrooke classified as a Horseboat being powered by (in Sherbrooke’s case) nine horses walking in a circular motion in the centre of the ferry powering the central paddle. This ferry was thought to be a large improvement to the previous service due to its speed and ability to transport more people and cargo from either side of the harbour. This ferry operated in the harbour until 1830 when the first steam ferry, the Sir Charles Ogle, entered service. The continuing ferry service remained the only effective way of crossing the harbour until 1955, when the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge was first opened. The current generation of the ferry system was implemented by the former City of Dartmouth as part of major revitalization projects undertaken in both Dartmouth and Halifax in the 1970s. All five ferries currently in service were designed by Dartmouth company, E.Y.E. Marine Consultants. In 1994, the City of Dartmouth transferred control of the ferry system to Metro Transit, later known as Halifax Transit. Current operation Today Halifax Transit maintains and operates the ferry service by providing two passenger ferry routes, one connecting downtown Halifax with Alderney Landing in Dartmouth (which operates daily) and the other connecting downtown Halifax with Woodside (Monday through Friday only). The harbour ferries are utilized by over 3,000 commuters daily. Both routes operate using two vessels each on a fifteen-minute schedule during peak hours, and using one vessel each on a thirty-minute schedule off-peak.

Much of the essential information content of the charge measurement is duplicated in the phonon measurement, through the production of secondary phonon populations as charges propagate through the crystal and then enter aluminum structures at the surface. These different phonon populations are produced with different initial energy distributions. In Germanium, high energy phonons exhibit high isotopic scattering rates ($\tau_{i}^{-1}~=~[36.7\times10^{-42}]\nu^4$ for Ge)[@tamura1985] meaning that they have short mean free paths and propagate diffusively ($\ell~=~[5.4~km/s]\tau_{i}~=~[1.5\times10^{44}~m/s^4]\nu^{-4}$ at long wavelengths). Only 6.1$\%$ of the top and bottom crystal surfaces is covered with phonon-absorbing aluminum (largely in the form of QETs), meaning that, per surface interaction, a phonon is far more likely to reflect off a polished Ge surface than be absorbed in a QET. A phonon’s timescale of surface absorption then is roughly proportional to its rate of surface interactions, and is therefor highly dependent on mean free path. Phonons with a mean free path on order of the detector size (ie, which propagate ballistically) are absorbed with the maximally slow decay constant of 755 $\mu$s, and higher energy phonons are absorbed with significantly faster decay constants. Phonons anharmonically decay in energy ($\tau_{a}^{-1} = [1.61\times10^{-55}]\nu^5$)[@msall1997], meaning that mean free path increases with time. This energy-dependent diffusion and decay process is typically termed “quasidiffusion”. Here we summarize the relevant characteristics of the major phonon populations in a SuperCDMS detector, emphasizing where they begin in their quasidiffusive evolution: - **Primary phonons** produced by the recoil event itself are initially highly energetic ($\nu > $1 THz, ie $\ell~<~\sim$ 100$\mu$m). If the event occurs far from a sensor surface, the diffusive behavior slows the arrival at the surface and lengthens the eventual mean free path, slowing the absorption rate at that surface. If the event occurs near a sensor surface, there is little delay in arrival, and the comparatively short mean free path increases a the rate of absorption at that surface. - **Neganov-

While they do ignite flamewars and may have very contrast tastes, it happens only when people above provoke them and they retreat if the matter is settled or cleared, and they do post insightful comments or facts.

cannot allow its own evaluation of the Class’s best interests to dictate its conclusion as to whether the requirements of Rule 23 were satisfied. 22 Case: 17-12381 Date Filed: 06/04/2018 Page: 23 of 28 Finally, we reject Appellees’ contention that approval of the settlement was permissible because it only partially foreclosed the Class’s individualized claims. Appellees point out that, because the settlement releases only Daikin, class members can still pursue their individualized claims against 3M and Dyneon. But neither Dukes nor Rule 23 allows parties to preclude absent class members’ individualized claims against one defendant, as long as those claims can still be pursued against other parties who may have different defenses, levels of culpability, and resources with which to satisfy a judgment. Put simply, the parties may not accomplish through class settlement what they otherwise would be unable to accomplish through class litigation—precluding absent class members’ individualized claims for monetary damages without providing notice and an opportunity to opt out. The district court abused its discretion by failing to apply the correct legal standard for certification under Rule 23(b)(2). See Dukes, 564 U.S. at 361–65, 131 S. Ct. at 2557–60. III. CONCLUSION The district court abused its discretion by determining the Class was adequately represented by counsel laboring under an inherent conflict of interest. It also abused its discretion by certifying a class under Rule 23(b)(2) and approving a settlement that released absent class members’ individualized claims for 23 Case: 17-12381 Date Filed: 06/04/2018 Page: 24 of 28 monetary damages.

While iron hydrogenation and dehydrogenation catalysts have been the subject of intense investigation over the past decade,^[@ref4]−[@ref8]^ low-valent Mn(I) complexes just recently appeared as new but very powerful players in this field.^[@ref9]−[@ref12]^ Concerning iron, the development of novel catalysts was largely inspired by concepts known from its well-established ruthenium congeners, which are particularly effective for hydrogenative reductions and oxidations of polar substrates. After the first reports on Fe(II)-catalyzed hydrogenations, we even stated "Iron, the New Ruthenium".^[@ref13]^ However, in light of recent achievements accomplished by isoelectronic Mn(I) catalysts, the question arises whether this statement is still valid or has to be reconsidered, since these novel systems appear to show even more similarities to traditional ruthenium than iron chemistry (diagonal relationship Mn--Ru). Nevertheless, the development of base metal catalysts that can even compete with their "noble" analogues remains a challenging task since specific properties of first-row transition metals (e.g., oxidation states, spin states, ionic radii, redox potentials) are fundamentally different and new strategies and concepts have to be developed in order to circumvent unfavorable phenomena in this context. Consequently, the synthesis of isolated and structurally well-defined complexes combined with a fundamental understanding of reaction mechanisms appears to be a primary objective for the rational development of novel catalytic systems.^[@ref14],[@ref15]^ In this Account, we describe well-defined Fe(II)- and Mn(I)-based catalysts featuring PNP pincer ligands based on 2,6-diaminopyridine that have been developed by our group ([Figure [1](#fig1){ref-type="fig"}](#fig1){ref-type="fig"}).^[@ref16]

I have been at this for quite a while now. Mainly following this tutorial. I have built the dependencies in the versions required by the instructions the 2 main parts beeing boost and caffe (which both entail a host of other dependecies). I am running the entire thing on a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.10 (setup on a VM specifically for this project). When i reach building of the armNN library (instructions part "Building the environment", step 4) it fails at linking libarmnn.so at ~45% with the following error output: /usr/bin/ld: */path/to/boost*/boost_1_64_0/stage/lib/libboost_log.a(attribute_name.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `_ZTVN5boost16exception_detail19error_info_injectorINS_3log12v2s_mt_posix16limitation_errorEEE' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libarmnn.so.19.11] Error 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/armnn.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 I have built the entire boost library with cxx and c flags -fPIC. I checked specifically for the file in question (using ar -x libboost_log.a readelf --relocs attribute_name.o | egrep 'PLT' as suggest in the answer to this question) Any suggestions on how to deal with this error or tips on what i should look into would be very much appreciated. Patrick A: It took me a couple more attempts and another fresh VM but i finally managed to cross compile the armnn with caffe parsers support (X from ubuntu to android). If you want to do the same there are a lot of dependencies which you have to compile yourself and you have to take care to compile them all with compatible versions. Which is when you are (like i was 3 weeks ago) just aquainted with all of these libraries in passing easier said then done. Here are the most important sources I used to compile: https://github.com/

Display devices capable of detecting an inputting object such as a finger and a touch pen (also called a stylus) approaching or contacting the screen have been widely employed. The operation of allowing the inputting object to approach or contact the screen is called a touch operation or a touch, and the detection of a position of the inputting object is called touch detection. Examples of the touch detection include various types such as an optical type, a resistive type, a capacitive type, and an electromagnetic induction type. The capacitive type is the detection type utilizing a feature that the electrostatic capacitance between a pair of electrodes (called a drive electrode and a detection electrode) is varied by approach or contact of the inputting object, and has benefits that the structure is comparatively simple and that the power consumption is small. The display device equipped with the touch detection function includes an on-cell type (also called an external type) in which the display device and the touch panel implementing the touch function are produced separately and the touch panel is bonded to the screen of the display device, and an in-cell type (also called a built-in type) in which the display device and the touch panel are integrated. In the in-cell type display device, for example, the detection electrode is formed between a color filter and a polarizer, and a common electrode formed on a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate is also used as a drive electrode. Since the in-cell type display device includes no external touch panel, the display device is entirely slim and lightweight, and visibility of the display is also improved. In the in-cell type display device, however, the display period and the touch detection period need to be set separately and achievement of both the display drive and the touch detection is a problem to be solved. Recently, touch panel-equipped display devices have increased in size. For example, elongated display devices have been developed similarly to center information display (CID) units provided on dashboards of vehicles to function as display devices for displaying road guidance information, and the like in a car navigation system. The CID unit displays gauges such as a speedometer, a tachometer, a fuel gauge, a water temperature gauge, and a range finder, and the information similar to the gauges, in addition to the road guidance information. An in-cell type display device includes a number of wiring layers, much parasitic capacitance and much parasitic resistance, a large time constant of CR, and the drive electrode can hardly be driven

Rodgers' concept was little different from the one ultimately used in the Pacific War: a "leapfrog" campaign to conquer the Marshalls and Carolines (held by Japan before the war); liberation of the Philippines; and blockade. Absent was the "decisive battle" of Mahan, and of Japanese planning. Japanese plans The Imperial Japanese Navy developed a counter-plan to allow the U.S. Pacific Fleet to sail across the Pacific while using submarines and carrier attacks to weaken it. The Japanese fleet would then attempt to force a battle against the weakened U.S. fleet in a "decisive battle area", near Japan (see Kantai Kessen), also in line with Mahanian doctrine, which Japan had enthusiastically embraced. It was the basis for Japan's demand for a 70% ratio (10:10:7) at the Washington Naval Conference, which was considered necessary to provide Japan superiority in the "decisive battle area" (taking into account that the U.S. had naval commitments in other theaters, while Japan did not), as well as the United States' insistence on 60%, which amounted to parity. Outcomes Actual events generally followed the plan. Although carrier battles and the use of airplanes and submarines overshadowed surface action, the "leapfrog" campaign played out largely as anticipated. The Imperial Japanese Navy, obsessed with the "decisive battle" doctrine, ignored the vital need for defense against submarines. The German and American submarine campaigns against their opponents' merchant shipping demonstrated the need for anti-submarine warfare. While the Allies took extensive measures to combat the threat of German U-boats, the Japanese failed to counter the American submarines which ultimately choked Japan's industrial production and paralyzed her navy. Japan also notably failed to institute an anti-commerce campaign herself; systematic use of commerce raiders could have made Allied operations much more complex and conquering and holding Japanese-held islands more difficult. American war planners failed to appreciate that technological advances in submarines and naval aviation had made Mahan's doctrine obsolete and did not anticipate a pre-emptive strike from the Japanese. In particular, they did not yet know either that aircraft would be able to effectively sink battleships or that Japan might put the American battleship force (the Battle Line) out of action at a stroke, which actually happened at Pearl Harbor. American plans changed after this attack. Even

The numbers of collected silhouette images of the crab, lion and hare were 100, 100 and 105, respectively (I bought silhouette images from Deposit Photos (https://jp.depositphotos.com/), and downloaded free images from Silhouette AC (https://www.silhouette-ac.com/index.html), Illust AC (https://www.ac-illust.com), Clipart Library (http://clipart-library.com), Silhouette Design (http://kage-design.com/)). Example images are shown in Fig. \[fig3\]. Of these 305 images, 240 images (80 images in each class) were used for training of the CNNs and 65 images were used as the test data set. The size of each image was 50$\times$50 pixels and the intensity of the images was normalized between 0 and 1 by dividing each intensity by 255. To increase the accuracy even with the small number of images, k-fold cross validation was used. A training data set with 240 images was randomly divided into four groups (60 images per group), and four CNNs with the same structure were trained by using three groups (180 images) as training data sets and one group (60 images) as a validation data set (Fig. \[fig3\]). In each training of CNN, the group of validation data was changed. Each training was conducted up to 40 epochs, and the number of steps at one epoch to update the weights of the CNNs was set at 20 \[8\]. Within 40 epochs, weights resulting in the minimum loss function of the validation data set were conserved. Because the number of training images was not sufficient, the batch size was set at 180 and the training images were increased by rotating between -180$^{\circ}$ and +180$^{\circ}$ and by shifting up to 10% of the width and height of the images \[8\]. After trainings of the CNNs, the accuracy of the test data set was calculated from the mean probability by using the conserved weights of the four CNNs (Fig. \[fig4\]). An image of the lunar maria is shown in Fig. \[fig4\]. The lunar maria are represented in black color and other effects such as the round shape of the moon itself and the color variations in the maria are removed because the purpose of this work was to evaluate the probability that the CNN can recognize and categorize the lunar maria pattern into the three animals.

Gary Kollin, Miami, Fla., (court-appointed), for defendant-appellant. Dexter W. Lehtinen, U.S. Atty., Linda C. Hertz, Allan J. Sullivan, Asst. U.S. Attys., Miami Fla., for plaintiff-appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Before KRAVITCH, HATCHETT and CLARK, Circuit Judges. KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge: 1 Elvira Cordero was convicted by a jury of possession with intent to distribute a quantity of cocaine in excess of 500 grams and of conspiracy to possess and distribute the same in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2 and 21 U.S.C. Secs. 841(a)(1), 846. The trial court sentenced Cordero to serve concurrent mandatory five-year terms on the substantive count and the conspiracy count and to a subsequent four-year term of supervised release, all pursuant to the enhanced penalty provisions of 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(b).1 The sole issue presented on appeal is whether the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient as a matter of law to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the amount of cocaine involved was 500 grams or more and, thus, sufficient to trigger the penalty enhancement provisions of section 841(b).2 Concluding that the evidence adduced was sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the amount of cocaine involved was in excess of 500 grams, we affirm.3 I. The following facts are undisputed: 2 On May 27, 1987 a confidential informant (CI) working with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) spoke with Cordero via telephone and arranged to meet her later that day at the Miami, Florida residence of one Enrique Navarro. There, Cordero and Navarro were to sell to the CI and the CI's companion, Special Agent Moratta of the DEA, five kilograms of cocaine. 3 Approximately fifteen minutes after the CI and Agent Moratta arrived at the Navarro residence, Cordero arrived. Upon her arrival, Cordero removed a large pink shoulder bag from the trunk of the car she was driving. Once inside Navarro's apartment, Cordero removed from the shoulder bag a yellow, duct-taped package which she handed to Agent Moratta. 4 Agent

Fast forward to a month later. The tables have turned completely the other direction. The fourth guy who I hated at first was my favorite student. The three students I had liked at the beginning now were the ones giving me the most greif. The extroverted easy to work with likable guys were pleasant to deal with, but they weren't very smart, and I had a lot of trouble teaching them stuff. The fourth guy was hard to deal with, but he was extremely smart and I barely had to teach him anything, he learned everything on his own. Once the economy got bad, the student/instructor ratio fell. The flight school hired a bunch more instructors and got less students. Every instructor got 2 students instead of 4. I made it a habit to go around to all the new instructors and ask them if they have a student they they don't really like working with. 4 times out of 5 the instructor would tell me "yeah I have this one guy..." My last 6 months at that job I had 8 students that basically taught themselves. That was easy money. I've found the best way to deal with unlikable people is to just let them go off and do their own thing. The act like that (unconsciously) because they resent you getting in their way. ~~~ hkmurakami A friend of mine is like the 4th student you describe: very smart but comes off as standoffish and cold until he warms up to you. He was actually let go from a well known (everyone here would know the name) startup in SF/SV wiht a noted brogammer culture after a few months since he "wasn't a culture fit". He's now thriving at a place that suits his character much more. In the end I think both parties "won" by his dismissal, but companies hiring for culture fit should be aware that they're willingly constraining their talent pool by doing this. (I don't think it's necessarily wrong either -- I expect to have some form of latent character filter if I'm in a hiring position as well. However, I'm much more fond of the introverted, "difficult" types than the average person). ------ loteck It seems like this could more accurately be entitled: Hiring Likable

For missense variants, the online tools Polymorphism Phenotyping v2 (PolyPhen-2) \[[@CR18]\], Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) \[[@CR19]\], and Mutation Taster \[[@CR20]\] were utilized to predict the pathogenicity of each variant. Multiple sequence alignment and conservative analysis were performed by ClustalX software (version 2.1; Conway Institute, University College Dublin, Dublin, Republic of Ireland). The amino acid sequences of human neurofibromin (NP_000258.1) and that of 11 different vertebrates were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) protein database (FASTA format). For frame shift variants (small deletions and single nucleotide duplication), DNAMAN (version 5.2.2; Lynnon Biosoft, San Ramon, CA, USA) was used to predict how the reading frame was interrupted and to calculate the number of nucleotides before a premature stop codon. Restriction fragment length polymorphism {#Sec8} ---------------------------------------- Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was used, together with nested PCR and restriction endonuclease, to discriminate between genotypes of patients and that of unaffected individuals in Families 1--3 with larger pedigrees. In addition to the primers used for Sanger sequencing, nested PCR primers were designed to enhance the specificity of small DNA fragments or to introduce a mismatch nucleotide to create a new restriction site (Additional file [1](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}: Table S1). Sequence differences between wild-type and mutant alleles resulted in the gain or loss of a restriction site that led to size differences between amplicons of different alleles after the restriction endonuclease reaction. The restriction endonucleases (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) *Taq*^α^ I (restriction site: T\|CGA), *Alu* I (restriction site: AG\|CT), and *Sac* II (restriction site: CCGC\|GG) were applied to Families 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) using an 8% neutral polyacrylamide gel was then performed to separate DNA fragments of different sizes. Electrophoresis conditions included 1 × TBE as electrophoresis buffer and a constant voltage of 350 V for 3--5 h. Silver staining was used for the final step of the chromogenic reaction.

A known procedure for treating vertebral compression fractures and other bone-related disorders is vertebral augmentation with bone cement. Vertebral augmentation can be performed by the direct-injection of liquid cement into the collapsed vertebral body (commonly known as “vertebroplasty”). Vertebral augmentation can also be performed after the restoration of the vertebrae to near normal vertebral body anatomy and creation of an internal cavity with the use of an inflatable bone tamp. This minimally invasive procedure is commonly known as “kyphoplasty” (see, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,969,888 and 5,108,404). During the kyphoplasty procedure, the inflatable bone tamp is inserted through a small skin incision which accommodates a working tube passed into the vertebral body. Inflation of the bone tamp compresses the cancellous bone and desirably moves the fractured cortical bone to its pre-fractured orientation, creating a cavity within the vertebral body that can then be filled with a settable material such as a cement or any number of synthetic bone substitutes. In effect, the procedure sets the vertebral body at or near its pre-fracture position and creates an internal cast, protecting the vertebral body from further fracture and/or collapse. As compared to a traditional vertebroplasty procedure, kyphoplasty restores the vertebrae to a pre-fractured condition and the injected bone filler is less likely to leak out of the vertebral body during a kyphoplasty procedure. However, under some circumstances, it has been observed that unpredictable reductions can occur with the kyphoplasty technique in chronic or partially healed collapsed vertebral bodies. Under those circumstances, the surgeon would typically resort to a large, open operation to re-align any post-traumatic kyphosis. Further, inadequate reductions can occur with certain other spinal deformities such as scoliosis and kyphosis using the known techniques and surgical tools. The large, open operations can carry with them significant morbidity in an already physiologically compromised elderly population. The principle benefit of a percutaneous minimally invasive approach, which is the hallmark of the kyphoplasty procedure, is the minimal morbidity associated with the procedure. In this light, additional tools are required to further the kyphoplasty technique, achieve better anatomic re-alignment of the spine, and maintain the minimally invasive nature of the surgery. The additional tools will be deployed through small working portals and be able to achieve the desired strategic vertebral osteotomies to move bone in three dimensional space. One such desirable tool would

The framers of the Constitution presumed that Washington would be elected unopposed. For example, Alexander Hamilton spoke for national opinion when in a letter to Washington attempting to persuade him to leave retirement on his farm in Mount Vernon to serve as the first President, he wrote that "...the point of light in which you stand at home and abroad will make an infinite difference in the respectability in which the government will begin its operations in the alternative of your being or not being the head of state." Uncertain was the choice for the vice presidency, which contained no definite job description beyond being the President's designated successor while presiding over the Senate. The Constitution stipulated that the position would be awarded to the runner-up in the Presidential election. Because Washington was from Virginia, then the largest state, many assumed that electors would choose a vice president from a northern state. However, the stipulation that the President and Vice-President must be from different states dates only to the Twelfth Amendment of 1804. In an August 1788 letter, U.S. Minister to France Thomas Jefferson wrote that he considered John Adams and John Hancock, both from Massachusetts, to be the top contenders. Jefferson suggested John Jay, John Rutledge, and Virginian James Madison as other possible candidates. Adams received 34 electoral votes, one short of a majority - because the Constitution did not require an outright majority in the Electoral College prior to ratification of the Twelfth Amendment to elect a runner-up as Vice President, Adams was elected to that post. Voter turnout comprised a low single-digit percentage of the adult population. Though all states allowed some rudimentary form of popular vote, only 6 ratifying states allowed any form of popular vote specifically for Presidential electors. In most states only white men,

![Octahedron as a quotient of torus by involution[]{data-label="topsphere"}](square){width="5.6in" height="1.85in"} We claim that the projection $p: \mathbb T^2 \rightarrow \mathbb S^2$ maps the semi-positive metric (\[metric2\]) to a proper Riemannian metric on $\mathbb S^2$ with induced smooth structure. Indeed, we need to check only that this works in the vicinity of the 4 fixed points. Let us check this at the point $(0,0).$ If $x\approx \beta_2$ then $P(x)\approx c(x-\beta_2),\, c=P'(\beta_2),$ $$u_1=\int_{\beta_2}^{x_1}\frac{2dx}{\sqrt{P(x)}}\approx \int_{\beta_2}^{x_1}\frac{2dx}{\sqrt{c(x-\beta_1)}}=\frac{4}{\sqrt{c}}\sqrt{x_1-\beta_2}.$$ Thus near $(0,0)$ we have $ x_1\approx \beta_2+Cu_1^2, \,\, x_2\approx \beta_2-Cu_2^2, \,\, C=\sqrt{c}/4, $ and thus $ x_1+x_2\approx 2\beta_2, \,\, x_1-x_2\approx C(u_1^2+u_2^2),\,\, x_1^2-x_2^2 \approx 2C\beta_2(u_1^2+u_2^2). $ Thus locally metric (\[metric2\]) has the form $ ds^2\approx 2C\beta_2(u_1^2+u_2^2)(du_1^2+du_2^2)=2C\beta_2z\bar z dzd\bar z, $ where we introduced complex coordinate $z=u_1+iu_2.$ The involution $\sigma$ acts by $z\to -z$, so the complex coordinate on the quotient is $w=z^2=v_1+iv_2$, in which metric takes regular form $ ds^2\approx \frac{1}{2}C\beta_2dwd\bar

Minister for Tourism and Major Events, Kate Jones, said the return of the NRL Brisbane Doubleheader in 2017 was a score for Queensland and for fans. “Following a sell-out event last year, this is sure to be another blockbuster sporting experience for fans and a great opportunity to enjoy a weekend in Queensland,” Ms Jones said. “Hosting major sporting events like this plays a crucial part in growing Brisbane’s $6.3 billion tourism economy and generating local jobs. "Last year’s event delivered more than 41,000 visitor nights and injected around $8.13 million into the local economy." NRL Head of Football, Brian Canavan said the Doubleheader at Suncorp Stadium was a real highlight in 2016 and will no doubt be a success again in 2017. “The fact that this year’s double header coincides with Indigenous Round will ensure it is a truly special occasion. “The four Clubs who will be playing should be commended for supporting the concept,” Mr. Canavan said. Manly Warringah CEO, Tim Cleary said the Sea Eagles were proud to play a home game again at Suncorp Stadium. “The Sea Eagles have a very big following throughout Queensland and I am sure our supporters will again turn out for the Doubleheader like they did last year,’’ Mr. Cleary said. “To play a home game as part of the Indigenous Round at Suncorp Stadium will be very special not only for our players but also for our supporters. It should be another great night of Rugby League.” Melbourne Storm CEO, Dave Donaghy said the Doubleheader had become the marquee date of the home and away season and as a Club, couldn’t wait to be a part of it again. “More than 52,000 fans turned up last year to witness our thrilling win over the Cowboys and we look forward to taking on the Titans this time around in front of yet another electric atmosphere. “Some of the greatest players to ever represent Queensland will also be on show, making this the showpiece event of Indigenous Round,” Mr. Donaghy said. Suncorp Stadium General Manager, Alan Graham said previous double headers had attracted big crowds with the concept winning the support of fans and clubs. “We couldn’t host this event without the support of the NRL, TEQ, Brisbane Marketing the participating clubs, Fox Sports and the

I respectfully dissent from that part of the majority opinion reversing the judgment on the ground that there was a defective joinder of the parties. Appellant makes no complaint of the judgment on its merits. The only complaint is that the court did not have jurisdiction to enter the judgment because the husband was joined only as a pro forma party as distinguished from a real party. Appellant made no objection to the joinder of the husband as a pro forma party until after trial when appellees presented the trial court a proposed judgment in which the husband and wife were allowed to recover jointly. While from a purely technical standpoint, the conclusion reached by the majority appears to have some support in the cases cited therein, I do not believe that the application of these narrow, technical rules are applicable under the facts or the present day rules of civil procedure. I am opposed to a reversal of the case on the ground that there is a defect in the parties for two reasons. First, it must be remembered that in 1967, the 60th Legislature at page 739, ch. 309, made some significant changes in the law with respect to the rights, duties, privileges, powers and liability of spouses. Among other changes, the legislature passed Art. 4621, V.A.T.S. giving each spouse the exclusive control and disposition of that community property which he or she would have owned if a single person and also provided for combined control and management over all other community property. At the same session, the legislature also enacted Art. 4626, V.A.T.S., providing that: "A spouse may sue and be sued without the joinder of the other spouse. When claims or liabilities are joint and several, the spouses may be joined under the rules relating to joinder of parties generally." Amended by Acts 1963, 58th Leg., p. 1188, ch. 472, sec. 6, eff. Aug. 23, 1963; Acts 1967, 60th Leg., p. 739, ch. 309, sec. 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1968. Thus, since the legislature granted the wife sole management and control over that community property which she would have owned if a single person and also provided that she is to have joint control over all other community, I take the position that in passing Art. 4626, supra, the legislature intended to grant the wife the right to protect her interest in the community by suing without the joinder of her husband. At any rate however, Art. 4626 specifically provides

Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) requires the use of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver. The signals from the antennas are combined to minimize errors and optimize data speed, providing better range and performance. However, the use of multiple inputs and outputs requires a device to utilize the same radio spectrum frequency. The United States presently uses the GSM-850 and GSM-1900 radio spectrum frequencies for cellular transmissions. GSM-850 uses 824-849 MHz for uplink and 869-894 MHz for downlink, providing channel numbers 128-251. GSM-1900 uses 1850-1910 MHz to uplink and 1930-1990 MHz to downlink, providing channel numbers 512-818. The MIMO concept defined in Third Generation Partnership Project Revision 7 (3GPP R7) and Revision 8 (MIMO R8), incorporated by reference herein in their entirety into this disclosure, requires the use of the same radio spectrum frequency for both transmission paths. These frequencies and antennas are used in spatial multiplexing or transmission diversity mode according to radio conditions. This allows for multiple simultaneous data streams, thereby increasing the data transmission rate. MIMO R8 also requires twice the amount of antennas at both the transmitter and the receiver locations, even though the transmission takes place across a single frequency band. This creates interference in the signal, which decreases the actual gain in bandwidth created by MIMO R8. The additional signal used in MIMO R8 is another two-way transmit path. Although MIMO R8 can have up to four transmit paths, the uplink bandwidth is still equivalent to the downlink bandwidth, because each additional transmit path adds a duplex channel. Demanding data services for individual users can exceed the capabilities of a single frequency carrier and/or radio path for a variety of transmission technologies. In this case, the capacity of multiple bi-directional frequency carriers and/or radio paths are combined, or “bonded” for the single demanding user. Multiple pre-existing bi-directional transmission pairs are allocated to the demanding user and traffic is spread across them. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently auctioned the 700 MHz frequency spectrum. AWS-700 uses 776-794 MHz for uplink and 746-764 MHz for downlink. As is, these transmission techniques offer useful means to boost individual peak throughput within the capabilities of the available transmission technology. However, bi-directional frequency carriers and/or radio paths, and the equipment required to use

A number of notable factories would have employed a number of local people: Maudslay’s Ironworks and Engineering — Westminster Bridge Road — 1810-1899 Napier and Son Ltd, engineers - York Road - 1830-1903 John Doulton’s pottery — Lambeth High Street — 1826, and from the 1870s at the Doulton Works on the Thames Embankment William Clowes (Printer) & Sons — 1825 in Upper Ground, and then in Duke Street (in the 1840s was the largest printworks in the world). It closed following bombing in 1941. In August 1815, the Bedlam Hospital was opened nearby for 200 patients. The dome was added between 1830 and 1850. It remained until 1930 when patients were moved to a new site in Beckenham. By 1824, most of the cultivated land had been built over, including the addition of the following streets. Sometime after the opening of Waterloo railway station in 1848 the locality around the station and Lower Marsh became known as Waterloo. Vauxhall Bridge and Vauxhall Bridge Road were opened in 1816. By 1860 the village had been subsumed by the town of Lambeth. The arrival of the railway Waterloo station was built in 1848 and completely changed forever Lambeth Marsh's relationship to its surroundings. The sheer scale and proximity of the railway created a barrier between the street and the rest of the Lambeth Marsh. Lower Marsh was not a place that respectable Londoners would have ventured in the latter part of the 19th century.

Figure 12 shows the ac-susceptibility (ac-$\chi$) measured using our NQR coil. Although it is hard to determine the onset temperature of the superconductivity from ac-$\chi$, it can be seen that the mid-point of the transition increases in the order of $x$=0.55, 0.5 and 0.45. $T_c$ determined from the point at which $1/T_1$ displays a distinct drop is 0.8 K, 0.9 K and 0.94 K for $x$=0.55, 0.5 and 0.45, respectively. Figure 13 shows $1/T_1$ normalized by its value at $T_c$ plotted against the reduced temperature $T/T_c$ for $x$=0.55, 0.5 and 0.45. Just below $T_c$, $1/T_1$ shows identical behavior for all samples, but at lower temperatures strong variation is observed. In particular, below $T\sim$ 0.4 K, $1/T_1$ becomes again proportional to $T$, and the normalized value of $1/T_1$ increases in the order $x$=0.55, 0.5 and 0.45. ![The ac-susceptibility for CeRh$_{1-x}$Ir$_{x}$In$_5$ ($x$=0.45, 0.5 and 0.55).[]{data-label="fig:12)"}](Fig12.eps) The most straightforward explanation for $T$-linear $1/T_1$ at low-$T$ would be the presence of disorder that produces a finite DOS remaining at $E_F$.

2 After being terminated from the cardiology staff at Good Samaritan Hospital, Dr. John Smith filed a complaint in federal district court for antitrust conspiracy. The district court granted summary judgment to the hospital. The district court also imposed $2,000 in Rule 11 sanctions against Smith's attorney, Jerome Berg, for misconduct including failing to read the papers he filed with the court. 3 Smith appealed and the hospital asked for fees and costs under 42 U.S.C. § 11113 claiming the appeal was frivolous. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court. Smith v. Ricks, 31 F.3d 1478, 1488 (9th Cir.1994), cert. denied, 115 S.Ct. 1400 (1995). That panel agreed the appeal was frivolous and imposed Rule 38 sanctions against Berg, reasoning that Berg was responsible for the frivolous appeal and should bear the costs. 4 The previous panel has already addressed Berg's contentions that he was sanctioned in violation of General Order 10.9. The only remaining issue is whether the district court abused its discretion in calculating the amount awarded to defendants. 5 The district court referred the case to a federal magistrate judge who made a report and recommendation to the district court that $110,909.21 in fees and costs be awarded to defendants. This recommendation was "a concise but clear explanation of its reasons for the fee award," Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 437 (1982), and was adopted by the district court. The district court is charged with determining the appropriate amount of fees and will not be reversed absent an abuse of discretion. Lyddon v. Geothermal Properties, Inc., 996 F.2d 212, 213 (9th Cir.1993). 6 As correctly pointed out by appellees, the arguments now raised that are pertinent to this appeal have been waived by Berg. Even if he had preserved them, we hold that the magistrate judge correctly determined the lodestar amount and reduced the fee award where charges were duplicative or inappropriate. The district court did not abuse its discretion by adopting the magistrate's recommendation. 7 AFFIRMED. * The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.

------ Myrmornis How well does it work to version control Mathematica notebooks in git? For example, is it possible to get meaningful textual diffs when comparing two versions of a mathematica notebook, and can git compress them enough to keep repo size down? With iPython this is also an issue -- tracking code in JSON is much less clean than tracking code in text files. It's interesting that Mathematica and iPython both left code-as-plain-text behind as a storage format. I wonder if it would have been possible to come up with a hybrid solution, i.e. retain plain-text code files but with a serialized data structure (JSON-like, or binary) as the glue. ~~~ henrikeh I use Mathematica daily and frequently store large-ish notebooks in Git. The format is textual, but the diffs are filled with a lot of noise. ------ hprotagonist as a practical matter, papers will remain relevant as long as they are the metric by which grant applications and tenure decisions are made. as a philosophical matter, for computation heavy fields, i would love to see literate programming tools become _de rigeur_ in the peer-reviewed distribution of results. In some fields (AI) this basically happens already — the blog post with code snippets and a link to arxiv at the end is a pretty common thing now. ~~~ goerz Papers (and PDFs) are relevant because they are easy to organize and archive, essentially in perpetuity. Source code is too, so nothing wrong with a "Github for Science". Notebooks, blogs, or interactive dashboards, on the other hand, are an amazing tool both for research and for communication, but they are far more ephemeral than a paper. They need a large overhead to keep them running that cannot be sustained over decades or centuries. Typically, you'll have lots of trouble re-running a 5 year old notebook. That's not to say they're useless, e.g. as supplementary material (quite the opposite). They're just not going to replace papers anytime soon. ~~~ hprotagonist Those are good points. Journals have to care about this, too, these days -- supplementary information now routinely includes videos

The present work examines the generalizability of the anhedonia phenomenon (extinction-like responding with repeated neuroleptic treatment) by examining rats' licking behavior, a response heretofore untested, in the anhedonia paradigm. Nondeprived rats learned to lick a sucrose solution (32%) and were then tested for eight consecutive days in either a no-reward condition (N = 8) or two pimozide (PIM) with reward conditions (N = 8

The devices envisaged by the present invention are those which comprise a semi cylindrical block intended to be applied with its non-arcuate face against the sample to be studied, a transducer-emitter of ultrasonic waves, a transducer-receiver, the axes of the emitter and receiver being located in a common plane normal to the axis of the semi cylindrical block, and the emitter and receiver each being carried by a slide which is symmetrically movable on the arcuate surface of said block, means for entrainment of both transducers, and means for measuring the angle which they form between them. This apparatus is based on a method which includes emitting a beam of ultrasonic waves and appropriately directing the beam so as to produce surface waves on the material to be studied. Detection and measurement are effected on the beam reflected by the sample surface on which the control operates. This method enables determination on the value of the speed of propagation of the Rayleigh waves on the surface of a solid by measurement of the angle of incidence of the ultrasonic beam causing the production of these surface waves. This theory is particularly developed in the works of G. Bradfield, to which reference will be made for further information, particularly to the article entitled "The ultrasonic goniometer and its applications" in the February issue, 1968, of the periodical "Non-Destructive Testing" and to British Pat. Nos. 959.029 and 772.083. In the present case, the principle involves taking into account the fact that the speed of propagation of these surface waves is affected by the presence of a layer obtained, particularly on steel, by a thermal treatment, and in particular this variation in speed depends on the value of the thickness of said layer. A generator delivers the electrical signals necessary to supply the transducer-emitter. The ultrasonic waves may be generated either in the form of short-duration pulses or in wave trains of regulable length; in both cases, various frequencies may be used. The measurement assembly enables observation and analysis of the signals received by the transducer-receiver. This assembly, made up principally of an oscilloscope, may be accompanied by a recording instrument. In known devices of the type in question, the mechanical connection ensuring symmetrical movements of both transducers comprises a fairly large number of toothed sprockets and pinions, and sliding cardan-jointed shafts, rendering the assembly relatively complicated and liable to have a degree of operational play the elimination of which would make the apparatus even more complex.

Discovery of TCE contamination at the Sacramento facility also led Aerojet to look into possible contamination of the groundwater at Aerojet's Azusa facility, where much of the testing of JATO's and Rocket engines were conducted before moving those operations to Sacramento. In 1980, it was announced that there was TCE contamination in the groundwater at Aerojet's facility in Azusa in a hearing chaired by State Senator Esteben Torres. In 1985, it was declared a Superfund Site by the EPA as San Gabriel Superfund Site II and the cleanup done under the Baldwin Park Operable Unit. In 1997, it was also discovered that there was also NDMA and Ammonium Perchlorate contamination in this plume and that Aerojet was once again labeled a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) in this action. Aerojet sold this facility in 2001 to Northrop Grumman Corporation. Aerojet's disposal of toxic material occurred 20 years prior to the establishment of a provisional perchlorate RfD limit of 0.0001 mg/kg/day in 1992 (to have been achieved by all companies by 1995). This limit was increased to 0.0009 mg/kg/day in 1998, and prior to the results from NAS studies, the limit was reduced to 0.00004 mg/kg/day in 2002. The NAS studies disputed the 0.00004 limit, and recommended its current limit of 0.0007 mg/kg/day.

Considering how good tonight was and that PS2 doesn't cause my graphics card to melt anymore I'll certainly be back for more! we were so damn close, but we couldn't contain the TR in the end (after we had lost tawrich). holding off two factions at once is bloody hard, but i reckon that us moving to the east directly after peris could have been a better move. we just acted a little too slow and allowed em too much territory last night. "Quantacat's name is still recognised even if he watches on with detached eyes like Peter Molyneux over a cube in 3D space, staring at it with tears in his eyes, softly whispering... Someday they'll get it." Holding off two factions at once is bloody hard, but i reckon that us moving to the east directly after peris could have been a better move. we just acted a little too slow and allowed em too much territory last night. Agree, think we underestimated the size of the TR push (we did have other outfits moving to contain them if I remember correctly). But it also seemed like we just didn't have enough organised VS troops left on after the NC starting warping in from Esamir. We were closer than ever before tonight! TR was down to 1 territory, NC was down to 2. Then the TR decided to redeploy to Indar and our pop advantage melted away. Alas ... we're getting closer and closer. Yeah, you did an amazing job with that Grible. Purple giraffe for you. Yeah, that was good fun. Never kept a Galaxy alive for that long before. Also, another purple giraffe for Qazz who took over for a good assault on the Crown, that actually succeeded after some 30-40 minutes of heavy fighting. It was much more enjoyable playing on indar yesterday than the day before. They must've fixed the lag issues with heals/repairs/etc. (Also, slightly off-topic: what is up with purple giraffes, by the way? A google search turns up thousands of purple giraffes, and half of them seem to be from our bloody forums!) in a massive show of cowardice and treachery, TR forces (mostly brtd) of roughly 100 people ghostcapped indar tonight. resistance was unfortunately futile, as TR had a continent pop of ~70%. we initially managed to ghost cap

Referring to himself in the third person, Stevenson writes: _" This honest fellow had long been in the custom of setting himself to sleep with tales, and so had his father before him; but these were irresponsible inventions, told for the teller's pleasure, with no eye to the crass public or the thwart reviewer: tales where a thread might be dropped, or one adventure quitted for another, on fancy's least suggestion. So that the little people who manage man's internal theatre had not as yet received a very rigorous training; and played upon their stage like children who should have slipped into the house and found it empty, rather than like drilled actors performing a set piece to a huge hall of faces._ _" But presently my dreamer began to turn his former amusement of story- telling to (what is called) account; by which I mean that he began to write and sell his tales. Here was he, and here were the little people who did that part of his business, in quite new conditions._ _" The stories must now be trimmed and pared and set upon all fours, they must run from a beginning to an end and fit (after a manner) with the laws of life; the pleasure, in one word, had become a business; and that not only for the dreamer, but for the little people of his theatre. These understood the change as well as he. When he lay down to prepare himself for sleep,

(6) In an image transfer step, the roller is to be efficiency in removal of paper dust. For the techniques in which toner scraped off from the surface of an image-forming member by a cleaning means such as a cleaning blade and an elastic roller is collected by the above-mentioned elastic roller, there are some proposals therefor such as those disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication Open to Public Inspection (hereinafter referred to as JP OPI Publication) Nos. 60-107675/1985, 61-67073/1986 and 1-267679/1989. Wherein an elastic roller comprising a foamed material such as urethane rubber, chloroprene rubber, silicone rubber and sponge is served as both a cleaning means together with a cleaning blade and a toner guide roller, such elastic roller is rotated by bringing it into pressure contact with an image-forming member so that cleaned up toner scraped off by the cleaning means is made adhered to the guide roller and is then transported by the guide roller to a toner collection unit. The above-mentioned foamed material such as sponge herein means that it has a pore size of not smaller than 100 .mu.m and it is quite different in itself from the open-cell cellular materials of the invention. However, the guide rollers described in the above-mentioned patent publications cannot satisfy all the requirements (1) through (6). In the present state where a high-speed operation and a high image quality are recently demanded on copying machines, most of the above-mentioned requirements have not been satisfied and the improvements of the guide roller have also been urgently needed. For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication Open to Public Inspection No. 57-172470/1982 proposes for an elastic roller having at least the surface comprising an open-cell cellular material to serve as a cleaning means in place of the above-mentioned cleaning blade for a copying machine. Wherein cleaned up toner is collected by a suction fan. The elastic roller described therein is strictly a cleaning means for an image-forming member and remaining toner is required to be scraped off at a high rotation speed. It is therefore difficult to select a peculiar cellular material to meet the requirement. There are some problems that the size of a cleaning unit becomes remarkably larger than in the other image-forming apparatuses, that a noise is produced and that a cleaning effect becomes more unsatisfactory than in a cleaning blade. It is an object of the invention to provide a toner guide roller by which toner scraped off by a cleaning blade

In January 2005, Petters Group Worldwide purchased the Polaroid brand for $426 million, with plans to use it on consumer electronics and new technologies. In 2006, Petters Group Worldwide acquired Sun Country Airlines. Petters Group Worldwide became a diverse holding company with 3,200 employees and investments or full ownership in 60 companies, of which it actively managed 20. With offices in North America, South America, Asia, and Europe, it had $2.3 billion in revenue in 2007. Prosecution, conviction and sentencing In about 2008, the FBI began investigating Petters for his role in a fraud scheme involving more than $100 million in investments. On September 24, 2008, federal investigators raided the Petters headquarters in Minnetonka and searched Tom Petters' Wayzata home. Documents released by the FBI, IRS, and other federal agencies noted that they were seeking evidence of a scheme to lure investors into funding a company based on tens of millions of dollars in purchases and sales that never occurred. The documents noted that a witness associated with Petters and his company came forward with documents and other information, and later wore a hidden microphone and recorded several conversations involving Petters and others who carried out the fraud. The affidavit alleges that Petters repeatedly admitted to the fraud scheme of providing false information to investors in the tapes; in addition, Petters admitted to falsifying his tax returns. On September 29, he resigned as the head of Petters Group Worldwide. On October 3, Petters was arrested at his home in Wayzata. He was denied bail after prosecutors produced documents that alleged Petters had encouraged another person involved with the case to leave the country, that Petters had stated that he regretted turning over his passport, and that he had previously spoken about fleeing the country if the fraudulent scheme were discovered. The U.S. Attorney's Office charged him with mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering and obstruction of justice. The U.S. Attorney staff noted that the government knew nothing about the scheme until Deanna Coleman, vice president of operations for Petters Co., approached them to confess and offered to help federal authorities investigate. This led to the prosecution of Robert Dean White, who admitted to being involved in creating false bank statements and other documents that were used to trick investors in what he described as a massive Ponzi scheme. Both individuals made plea bargains with federal prosecutors in exchange for providing the government information on how the scheme worked. Coleman and White

In high level, we use the continuous optimization method and dependent rounding technique in [@balkanski2016learning] to obtain a solution.\ \ **New Ground Set:** Similar to [@balkanski2016learning], we define new ground set of size $nm+n$ which has the orginal ground set elements and element for every $(element, function)$ pair ${\mathcal{X}}^{'}=V \cup \{a_{i,j}\}_{i\in[n],j\in[m]}$. $$\label{eq:cont reformulation} g(S)=\sum_{j=1}^{m} f_j(\{a_i: a_{i,j}\in S\})$$ \ \ **Continuous problem:** let us associate with each element $a_{i}$ a variable $x_i \in [0,1]$ and for each element $a_{i,j}$ a variable $x_{i,j} \in [0,1]$; then, we define the $G(x)$ as in : $$\label{eq:cont obj1} G(x)= \mathbb{E}_{s \sim D(x)}g(S)$$ where $D(x)$ is the following distribution: 1. $a_i \in S \sim D(x)$ for each i independently with probability $x_i$ 2. $a_{i,j} \in S \sim D(x)$ for each i and for each j independently with probability $\frac{x_{i,j}}{x_i}$ if $a_i \in S$ and with probability 0 otherwise. we can write the continuous version of the problem as note that the difference between this problem and two-stage submodular problem shows itself in . \[eq: cont\] $$\begin{aligned} {4} & \max_{\mathcal{S}}&& G(x) \\ &\operatorname*{subject\,\, to \quad}&& x_i\in [0,1]&&&\forall i\in[n]\\ & && x_{i,j}\in [0,1]&&&\forall i\in[n]\forall j

Wokingham Borough Council is working in partnership with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to significantly improve the current nine outdoor court tennis facilities with the addition of three new courts. Modern floodlights, that avoid light pollution, will also be installed to six courts and a new clubhouse is being built thanks to funding by the borough council and LTA. Work is already well underway and includes the installation of an electronic court access system linked to online court booking, which will provide easy access and affordable tennis for the community. A tennis operator will manage the tennis court facilities, deliver an exciting and varied programme of tennis activities for all ages and abilities, drive the sale of the pay and play activities and membership sales all year round. The cost of a family membership will be £65 per year – for all family members to play (excluding floodlighting). People will be able to purchase refreshments from the new clubhouse. The improvements are being funded by S106 developer contributions and the LTA. The borough council has previously worked with the LTA to improve opportunities to play tennis in the Wokingham Borough and increase the number of people taking part in the sport. Last year Cantley Park hosted two Great British Tennis Weekends which included free tennis sessions and people also had the opportunity to have their photo taken with the Davis Cup as part of the National Trophy Tour organised by the LTA. Cllr Angus Ross, executive member for environment, said: “We’re delighted to be able to improve the tennis facilities in Wokingham Borough in partnership once again with the Lawn Tennis Association. This investment means that we can provide excellent tennis facilities for all our residents in the Wokingham Borough. Tennis is a fantastic sport and is a great way for people of all ages and abilities to stay fit and healthy. “We appreciate there may be some local concerns about these tennis facility improvements at Cantley Park. However I’d like to reassure you there is plenty of open space at Cantley Park for everyone to enjoy whether you are a walker, jogger or our walking your dog. The new facilities are located on a small area of the park.” Leo Tutt, LTA regional tennis participation manager, said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Wokingham Borough Council on this very exciting community tennis project. The enhanced facilities will provide new year-round tennis playing opportunities for the whole community, encouraging

6 December 2, 2000 custodial interview of Fell conducted by the Vermont State Police; and 7 (iv) certain undated and unsigned handwritten letters purportedly written by Lee from 8 prison following his arrest for his role in the murders of Conway, Debbie, and King.2 See 9 Dkt. No. 103 at 11–12 (2d Cir. Nov. 14, 2017). Each statement broadly inculpates Lee 10 principally in the killings of Debbie and King, while also discussing in detail Fell’s role 11 in the murder of all three victims. 12 After a lengthy hearing following our order, the district court concluded that, 13 except for most of the handwritten letters, the statements by Lee that the government 14 seeks to introduce meet due process and FDPA requirements for reliability. In short, the 15 district court concluded that Lee’s statements are sufficiently reliable because they are 16 generally consistent with the evidence that will be admitted at trial. 17 The district court having now concluded that the Lee statements would be 18 inadmissible at sentence-selection under the Sixth Amendment, but largely admissible 19 under the Fifth Amendment and the FDPA, the issue is ripe for our decision. We 2 On remand to the district court following our oral argument, the government also sought to introduce reports of the Rutland, VT police department documenting police visits to Debbie’s home on October 5 and October 6, 2000. The district court concluded that these statements were sufficiently reliable to be introduced at sentence-selection under the due process clause and the FDPA. Because the government did not identify these statements to us in its November 14, 2017 letter, however, we do not think they are properly before us and we come to no conclusion regarding their admissibility at sentence-selection. 4 1 conclude that the district court erred in holding in its January 19, 2018 order that the 2 statements at issue are sufficiently reliable under the Fifth Amendment’s due process 3 clause, and we therefore affirm on this ground alone the district court’s order of May 1, 4 2017 excluding the statements. 5 The parties do not dispute that evidence must carry sufficient “indicia of 6 reliability
