PowerFX Systems AB. is a small recording company, based in Stockholm, Sweden. The company has been producing music samples, loops and sound effects since 1995. They also developed singing synthesizers using the VOCALOID engine developed by Yamaha Corporation.
Products and services
Vocaloid
PowerFX was first introduced to the Vocaloid software after the introduction of first Vocaloids (Lola and Leon) from the British studio Zero-G at the NAMM Show on January 15, 2004 and were later recommended to Yamaha Corporation by Crypton Future Media. Their first product for the software was "Sweet Ann" a Vocaloid 2 powered voicebank and was first introduced at the Musikmesse fair and later released on June 29, 2007. The boxart of Sweet Ann was based on a Frankenstein's monster. Their second VOCALOID2 "Big Al" was released with the voice provided from ex-employee Frank Sanderson after the intended provider, Elvis Presley impersonator Michael King, was unable to return for further recordings after their initial samples were considered not at a high enough quality to be released. PowerFX began their production of voicebanks for the Vocaloid 3 engine, with "Oliver" as their first VOCALOID3, and the first male VOCALOID3. They released their second VOCALOID3, "YOHIOloid", a male bilingual that is capable of singing English and Japanese. PowerFX released their own Vocaloids into Taiwan boasting new box art for the releases. PowerFX released an American-accented Vocaloid 4 voicebank "Ruby" in 2015. In 2017, the company announced that they would no longer make Vocaloid products.
PowerFX's other music composers include:
SoundShuttle
Swiss Army Synth
Miracle Drumlooper
Dyad
Humbox VM1
Soundation Studio
PowerFX also offers Soundation Studio, an on-line free music making station complete with a number of samples and loops. Users can open their own account and buy additional samples for their account or upload their own samples into the software to work with. Those who sign up can have their own profile and save their work using AudioLocker.
Extracts of PowerFX's Sweet Ann and Big AL were included in Soundation Studio in their Christmas loops and sound release with a competition included.

The comments and criticisms of the two anonymous referees were of help in improving the presentation of the results.
Apolarity {#apolaritySEC}
=========
In this section we will briefly recall some basic facts from [*Apolarity Theory*]{} or, in modern terms, [*Inverse Systems Theory*]{}. Comprehensive references are [@Ge], mainly Lecture 2, 6 and 8, and [@IaKa].
Consider the polynomial rings $$S=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]\mbox{ and }T=k[\partial_1,\ldots,\partial_n],$$ where $k$ denotes a field of characteristic 0, and give $S$ a $T$-module structure via differentiation, i.e. we will think of $T$ as the ring of differential operators acting on $S$. We denote this action with “$\circ$”, e.g. $\partial_j\circ
f=\frac{\partial}{\partial x_j} f$ for $f\in S$.
There is a natural perfect paring between homogeneous pieces of the same degree of $S$ and $T$, namely $$\begin{array}{ccccl}
S_i & \times & T_i & \longrightarrow & k \\
f & & D & & D\circ f
\end{array},$$ is a perfect pairing for all $i$; in particular, $S_i$ and $T_i$ are dual to each other. Given subspaces, $$V\subseteq S_i\mbox{ and } W\subseteq T_i$$ we denote by $$V^\perp\subseteq T_i\mbox{ and } W^\perp\subseteq S_i$$ their orthogonal with respect to this pairing; notice, e.g., that $\dim_k V + \dim_k V^\perp =\dim_k S_i=\dim_k T_i$.
Given a form $f\in S_d$, the ideal $$f^\perp=\{D\in T : D\circ f=0\}$$ is a homogeneous ideal of $T$ and it is called the [*orthogonal*]{} ideal of $f$.

Ooooh! Eucalyptus. That's got to be slang for something kinky as all hell! Was this a social networking app for a very special subset of furries? A hook-up site for swinging Botanists? No, actually it was an Ebook app for public domain works. Since it provided access to a Victorian-era translation of the Kama Sutra, the app was deemed inappropriate. We asked Apple if they saw any irony in the fact that the iPhone's web browser provided access to a billion websites far filthier than an ancient translation of a religious text. Sadly, Apple's board of directors was too busy banning dancing in small Midwest towns to be reached.
Jilted developers and Google aren't the only people pissed off at Apple's App Store policies. The boys at the FCC are investigating the App Store for anti-competitive practices. Apple responded to the accusation, which kicked off yet another gigantic legal clusterfuck the results of which have yet to be decided, but are likely to be retarded.
#1. Apple Versus Absolutely Everyone: The Masterplan
You might be asking why any of this should matter to you. After all, most of Apple's dickery is aimed at a small, tech savvy minority. People who know how to hack their iPhones or program applications or work for a giant Apple subsidiary in China. Jobs has always known that the vast majority of people think technology is something to watch porn on. Lucky for him, he's fantastic at designing technology that those people intuitively understand how to use. Unlucky for the non-savvy majority, there are increasing signs that we're the eventual target of Apple's master plan.
If you're one of the tens of millions of people who have iTunes installed on their Windows machines, you might want to open up a search and see if Apple's "Safari" web browser has made its way onto your computer. No, you didn't download that on purpose and then forget about it. In March of 2008, Apple stuck a copy of Safari into a routine update for iTunes. They set the 22.65 MB file as part of the default download. Users who just skimmed over the update notice without reading it (IE: nearly everyone) soon found themselves with unwanted software.
Whether you want it or not.
Response from the media and major figures in the tech industry was immediate and powerfully negative. The CEO of Mozilla

The Texas Rules of Civil Procedure provide:
Service by mail shall be complete upon deposit of the paper, enclosed in a postpaid, properly addressed wrapper, in a post office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service.... Nothing herein shall preclude any party from offering proof that the notice or instrument was not received, or, if service was by mail, that it was not received within three days from the date of deposit in a post office of official depository of the United States Postal Service, and upon so finding, the court may extend the time for taking the action required of such party or grant such other relief as it deems just.
Tex.R.Civ.P. 21a. Rule 21a sets up a presumption that notice of trial setting was duly received by the addressee when the notice has been properly addressed and mailed. Cliff, 724 S.W.2d at 780. This presumption "has the force of a rule of law." Id. However, this presumption may be rebutted by an offer of proof that the notice was not received. Id.
At the hearing on appellant's motion for new trial, appellee argued that appellant's motion was insufficient because it was not supported by affidavits. As a general rule, when a defendant seeks to set aside a default judgment, the motion for new trial "must be supported by affidavits or other evidence proving prima facie that the defendant has ... a meritorious defense." Drake v. McGalin, 626 S.W.2d 786, 787 (Tex.Civ.App.Beaumont 1981, no writ); see also Dallas Heating Co., Inc. v. Pardee, 561 S.W.2d 16, 20 (Tex.Civ.App. Dallas 1977, writ ref'd n.r.e.).
*20 However, as we noted previously, appellant testified under oath that she did not receive notice of the trial setting. Appellant's counsel, in a sworn motion for new trial and in live testimony, stated that she did not receive notice of the trial setting. No controverting evidence was presented. We find that appellant sufficiently rebutted the presumption that she received the notice of trial setting. Thus, it was not necessary for appellant to prove a meritorious defense. Lopez, 757 S.W.2d at 721.
Further, appellant's motion for new trial and the testimony at the hearing thereof sufficiently negated an intentional act or conscious indifference

I agree with what you're saying, but I think this is more of an Indian media
tactic. No one would know about this student otherwise, so you should be
pointing your finger at the reports/journalists to create better content. I
suspect this story was aimed at their Indian audience.
This achievement is largely forgettable to our population, but when Indians
read this they feel a sense of pride for their fellow people's achievements. I
think the Indian media is just exploiting this Indian trait to get more views.

An area of extreme importance to scientists interested in cardiovascular physiology is that of uteroplacental blood flow. For example, uterine blood flow is compromised in the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and in seemingly health gravidas who develop intrauterine growth retardation. Thus it is surprising that research in the field is sporadic, scientists in the field rarely communicate, and there has been no major American conference dedicated solely to this field in a decade. This is a request for endorsement and financial support of an International Symposium on

A literature review of information published in English between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2012, was conducted to identify the clinical endpoints used in malignant melanoma, NSCLC, and RCC clinical trials and their frequency of use. These tumors were selected as they are the main types in which novel immunotherapies have been evaluated to date. Only endpoints directly referring to clinically measured outcomes were included, and not point estimates such as hazard ratio (HR) which are derived from data analysis. Two literature sources were searched: published systematic reviews of clinical trials and HTA reports. Additionally, documents identified during the first search that also provided metrics (in conjunction with cure definitions) were included in the results of this second search. Full details of the methodology and limitations are included in Supplementary Material 2. Again, this literature search strategy was designed pragmatically to prioritize the identification of key information in a very large literature base.
The literature search identified 2,951 documents, of which 146 were included in the final sample, comprising 92 clinical trial review papers and 54 HTA documents. The endpoints identified in the clinical trial reviews and HTA reports are shown in Tables [1](#tab1){ref-type="table"} and [2](#tab2){ref-type="table"}, respectively. Overall, the most common endpoints reported were response rate, disease-free survival (DFS) or progression-free survival (PFS), median OS, recurrence rate, and quality of life. The endpoints used to assess clinical response were the most heterogeneous and, within this category, response rate or objective response rate (ORR) was the most frequently used. These endpoints were also used across all evaluated tumor types. Endpoints related to disease progression were relatively homogeneous, with PFS, DFS, recurrence-free survival, and time to progression (TTP) being the most frequently used. In the survival category, endpoints were fairly homogeneous with median OS used frequently across the tumor types. OS, in the majority of cases, median OS specifically, was the only "survival" endpoint reported for malignant melanoma and RCC, accounting for 82% and 83% of the "survival" endpoints reported in clinical trial review papers and HTA reports, respectively. Endpoints relating to recurrence and/or relapse were not found in HTA reports but were included in clinical trial review papers. In the review papers, local or overall recurrence rates were the most commonly used.
When comparing the endpoints reported for the different tumor types, there were only minor differences ([Figure 2](#fig2

For each positive integer $n$, let
$$S_n= \frac1{n(n+1)} + \frac1{(n+1)(n+2)} +\dots + \frac1{(2n−1)2n}.$$
(a) Calculate
$S_1,S_2,S_3$. Then use this data to guess a simple formula for
$S_n$.
(b) Prove your guess in part (a) by mathematical induction.
(c) Use Result 6.6 on page 136 to give another proof of your guess.
(d) Prove that
$$\frac1{k(k+1)}=\frac1k−\frac1{k+1}$$
for all positive real numbers $k$. Use this to give yet another proof of your guess in part (a). This method of proof is called telescoping.
Result 6.6: For every positive integer $n$:
$$\frac1{(2)(3)} + \frac1{(3)(4)} +\dots + \frac1{(n+1)(n+2)} = \frac{n}{2n+4}.$$
-
I've already given a proof of 2(b) for that $S_{n} = \frac1{2n}$, but I am stuck on (c) and (d).
A:
HINT for (c): No matter what the terms $a_k$ are, $$a_{n+1}+a_{n+2}+\dots+a_{2n} = (a_3+a_4+\dots+a_{2n})-(a_3+a_4+\dots+a_n)\::$$ just look at what cancels out.
For (d), verifying that $$\frac1{k(k+1)}=\frac1k-\frac1{k+1}$$ is just algebra. Once you have that, $$\begin{align*}
S_n &= \frac1{n(n+1)} + \frac1{(n+1)(n+2)} +\dots + \frac1{(2n−1)2n}\\
&= \left(\frac1n-\frac1{n+1}\right)+\left(\frac1{n+1}-\frac1{n+2}\right)+\dots+\left(\frac1{2n-1}-\frac1{2n}\

The present invention relates generally to methods of patterning hard masks used in fabrication of semiconductor devices, and specifically to methods of patterning hard masks formed by UV light exposure.
Patterning hard masks are used in the fabrication of semiconductor devices to form metal lines, for example.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,910,021 to Tabara et al. describes a method of manufacturing semiconductor devices having fine patterns. A main conductive layer is formed over a substrate and a conductive antireflection layer (TiN, TiON or CrN) is formed over the main conductive layer. A patterned resist mask is formed over the antireflection layer and the antireflection layer is selectively removed by a first etching gas to form a laminated mask of the resist mask and an antireflection mask self-aligned with the resist mask. The main conductive layer is selectively removed through the laminated mask by a second etching gas different from the first etching gas.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,382,544 to Matsummoto et al. describes a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device by the electron beam exposure method. A resist is applied on an interlayer dielectric (ILD) film through a thin metal (Al, AlSiCu, W, silicide, or preferably Ti) film and a contact hole is formed in the interlayer dielectric film. The thin metal film is used as a part of a second metal wiring pattern after removing its surface oxides.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,264,076 to Cuthbert et al. describes a method of integrated circuit fabrication using a layer of spin-on-glass (SOG) as a hard mask for patterning an underlying layer of polysilicon to form gate structures or the like.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,873,163 to Watakaabe et al. describes a photomask material blank, and a method of manufacturing same. The photomask material comprises a transparent substrate and a silicide film of a transition metal formed on the substrate. The metal silicide may be comprised of molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), or tantalum (Ta). In an alternate embodiment, a low reflective film comprised of MoO2, WO2, TiO2, or CrO is formed over a silicide film, e.g. a MoO2 film may be formed over a Mo silicide film.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention

For a 1989 Sun-Times article by Bob Herguth, Buckley said "I grew up with radio. It was just that my tastes progressed to jazz bands. My mother, Ella May, who's 96 and lives in Plymouth Place in La Grange, still doesn't understand where she went wrong in my taste in music."
By 1986, Buckley was hosting his Sunday noon-4pm segment on WBEZ. Other jazz hosts for the station at that time were Neil Tesser and Barry Winograd, whom Buckley felt could ably and comfortably handle the playing of contemporary jazz, leaving him to play his favorites.
In 1988, satellite technology carried the unique voice of Buckley broadcasting live from the Chicago Jazz Fest, together with 17 other 'BEZ entities including Neil Tesser, and Richard Steele. Those live broadcasts were made from a trailer near Petrillo Music Shell, and were syndicated to over 150 radio stations, with listeners numbering as many as 10 million, estimated.
On 14 January 2007, Chicago Public Radio (WBEZ) made a major change to a talk, news and public affairs format, and Buckley's show was shortened from three hours to one hour, and on Sunday, 27 July 2008, he bid the airwaves farewell in his final broadcast, a two-hour special featuring guests and testimonials.
Death
Buckley died on Thursday, July 22, 2010 at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, IL from complications of pneumonia. He was 85.

We now investigate the structure of the rational points on each individual line, starting with a line $L({{\underline{\mathrm{c}}}})$, where ${{\underline{\mathrm{c}}}}$ is primitive.
\[lem:Diomain\] Let $c_1,c_2,r\in \scrO $ satisfying $\gcd(c_1,c_2,r)=1$. Then we have the following equality of residues modulo $r$: $$\{{\underline{\mathrm{a}}}\bmod{r}: \gcd({\underline{\mathrm{a}}},r)=1,{{\underline{\mathrm{c}}}}\cdot{\underline{\mathrm{a}}}\equiv 0\bmod{r}, |{\underline{\mathrm{a}}}|<|r|\}=\{a{{\underline{\mathrm{c}}}}^\bot\bmod{r}: |a|<|r|, \gcd(a,r)=1\},$$ where ${{\underline{\mathrm{c}}}}^\bot=(-c_2,c_1)^t$.
We will assume that $r={\varpi}^k$, for some prime ${\varpi}$. Without loss of generality, we can assume that ${\varpi}\nmid c_1$. Clearly, modulo $r$, the left hand side is equal to $$\{y(-c_1^{-1}c_2,1):\gcd(y,r)=1, y\bmod{r}\}=\{yc_1(-c_1^{-1}c_2,1):\gcd(y,r)=1, y\bmod{r}\}.$$ In general, if $r={\varpi}_1^{k_1}...{\varpi}_m^{k_m}$ is a prime decomposition of $r$ into co-prime prime powers, then our previous analysis shows that ${{\underline{\mathrm{c}}}}\cdot {\underline{\mathrm{a}}}\equiv 0\bmod{r}$ would necessarily imply that for each $1\leq i\leq m$, there exists $b_i$ such that ${\varpi}_i\nmid b_i$ and ${\underline{\mathrm{a}}}\equiv b_i{{\underline{\mathrm{c}}}}^\perp \bmod{{\varpi}_i^{k_i}}$ . An application of the Chinese remainder theorem will finish the proof of the lemma.
As a direct corollary of Lemma \[lem:Diomain\], we get

Chief Judge BREITEL and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, WACHTLER and COOKE concur with Judge FUCHSBERG; Judge JONES concurs in a separate opinion in which Chief Judge BREITEL also concurs.
*721FUCHSBERG, J.
We are required to decide on this appeal whether the provisions of sections 210 and 211 of the Retirement and Social Security Law, which permit former public employees who have reached retirement age to continue working for the government without loss or suspension of pension benefits but which do not extend a like permission to those retired because of disabilities, constitute discriminatory treatment of the disabled.
Petitioner, a former fireman in New York City, retired on a disability pension following an on-the-job injury in 1959. Ten years later, he sought and obtained employment with the New York City Board of Education. Pursuant to the terms of section 1117 of the New York City Charter, his pension benefits were suspended for so long as he remained on the Board of Education payroll. He is still so employed. In 1974, he filed a complaint with the State Division of Human Rights alleging discrimination "in compensation" arising out of his "employment" by the fire department. The State Human Rights Appeal Board dismissed his complaint, commenting that "the action of the New York City Fire Department was not related to complainant's employment but to his pension or retirement". The Appellate Division confirmed the board's determination. For the reasons which follow, we affirm its decision.
Under section 1117 of the New York City Charter, any pension benefits paid by the city must be suspended if the employee subsequently accepts governmental employment, without regard to whether the pension stems from ordinary retirement after a full term of service of from earlier retirement based on disability. However, section 210 of the Retirement and Social Security Law of this State, which expressly overrides any contrary provisions of local law, defines a "retired person" as one receiving benefits "for other than physical *722 disability". Section 211 of that law then provides that such "retired persons" may thereafter accept positions in public service without loss or diminution of pension benefits, but only if they first obtain approval from the State Civil Service Commission or other appropriate civil service body (subd 2). For such permission to be granted it must appear that the pensioners are duly qualified "and physically fit" to perform the proposed duties, that there is a need for their services, and that "there are not

If you "discover" something so simple, don't see people using it already, and
don't see most(!) people getting totally excited after learning to know about
it, then you know it's some kind of scam. It's not clear who is scammed and
how. Maybe the guy is scamming himself into believing he has a meaningful job.
Who knows. But you can now consciously decide if you want to participate in
any role (scammer, victim, police) of that game or simply move on with your
life.

Aziz, Haris; Lee, Barton E. – Sub-committee Approval Voting and Generalised
Justified Representation Axioms (2017/2018)
Abstract:
"Social choice is replete with various settings including single-winner
voting, multi-winner voting, probabilistic voting, multiple referenda, and
public decision making. We study a general model of social choice called sub-
committee voting (SCV) that simultaneously generalizes these settings. We then
focus on sub-committee voting with approvals and propose extensions of the
justified representation axioms that have been considered for proportional
representation in approval-based committee voting. We study the properties and
relations of these axioms. For each of the axioms, we analyze whether a
representative committee exists and also examine the complexity of computing
and verifying such a committee."

Discussion
==========
Despite improvements in the outcomes of radical resection of CRC and 5-year cumulative survival rates of 69.9% for all stages and 85.2--88.4% for stages I--II \[[@b1-amjcaserep-16-149]\], 17.3% of operated patients (906 of 5230) develop recurrent diseases \[[@b2-amjcaserep-16-149]\]. In most cases of recurrence (83.2%), the lesion is detected within 3 years after the radical operation. Detection of the first recurrence more than 5 years after surgery is very rare (3.6% of cases) \[[@b3-amjcaserep-16-149]\]. If it is possible to completely resect the recurrent tumor, patient survival is expected to be longer \[[@b4-amjcaserep-16-149]\].
Detection of recurrent lesions usually involves serum tumor marker level measurement, ultrasonography, CT, and MRI. In addition, the efficacy of FDG-PET has been confirmed \[[@b5-amjcaserep-16-149]--[@b8-amjcaserep-16-149]\]. Luboldt et al. reported that FDG-PET/CT provided promising accuracy for colorectal mass detection and that, in all carcinomas and adenomas with high-grade dysplasia, the SUV~max~ was ≥5 \[[@b9-amjcaserep-16-149]\]. A review by Visioni and Kim stated that the sensitivity and specificity of PET-CT in detecting CRC recurrence were 89--95% and 83--92%, respectively \[[@b10-amjcaserep-16-149]\]. One of the studies evaluated in that review \[[@b11-amjcaserep-16-149]\] reported a positive predictive value of 96.4% and a negative predictive value of 76.9% for the diagnosis of CRC recurrence by PET-CT.
Although the reported lesion, in our case, was suspected by CT to be a recurrent tumor from the colon cancer operated on 5 years ago and was diagnosed clinically by FDG-PET/CT as recurrent disease, with a high SUV, the resected lesion was finally diagnosed as benign fibrous tissue on histopathological analysis. FDG-PET/CT is a sensitive tool for detecting malignancy, but FDG uptake is not tumor-specific. Gollub et al. reported that PET-CT did not detect 5 of 37 colon adenocarcinomas, 1 of which was found to be mucinous on histological analysis

To obtain a larger output current, the transistor TP103 on the output stage must be set to a large size.
To solve this problem, a push-pull operational amplifier is proposed, and its circuit arrangement is shown in FIG. 2. This push-pull operational amplifier has the same differential and output stages as in the operational amplifier shown in FIG. 1 except that a level shift stage having n-channel MOS transistors TN104 and TN105 is arranged between the differential and output stages.
The transistor TN104 has a source connected to a power supply voltage terminal V.sub.DD, a gate connected to a node N1 on the differential stage, and a source connected to the gate of a transistor TN104 via a node N2 together with the drain of the transistor TN105. The gate of the transistor TN105 receives a bias voltage VBIAS together with a transistor TN103, and the source of the transistor TN105 is grounded.
In this operational amplifier, the gate of the transistor TN104 on the output stage receives not the predetermined bias voltage VBIAS but a signal at the output node N2 on the level shift stage. The signal at the node N2 has a potential prepared by converting on the level shift stage the level of the potential of the output node N1 on the differential stage.
More specifically, when the output node N1 on the differential amplification stage falls to a ground voltage Vcc, the ON resistance of a transistor TP103 on the output stage decreases toward an ON state. In this case, the ON resistance of the transistor TN104 increases toward an OFF state, the level-converted potential of the output node N2 falls further toward a ground voltage Vss, and thus the transistor TN104 operates toward an OFF state. When, therefore, an output signal OUT rises toward the level of the power supply voltage Vss, the ON resistance of the transistor TN104 increases further to an OFF state to decrease the current flowing through the transistor TN104. As a result, a larger current can be extracted from the output terminal OUT.
In this operational amplifier, however, since the output node N2 on the level shift stage functions as a source follower, the potential of the node N2 is limited by the threshold of the transistor TN104. This also limits the current extracted from the output terminal OUT.
Further, the current flowing through the transistor TN104 on the output stage is difficult to estimate. Consequently, the punch-through current flowing through the transistors TP103 and TN104 cannot be

Superior Avenue connects the east and west sides of the most populated downtown in Ohio. To the west, Superior Avenue connects to the Detroit Avenue extension which starts at the terminus of Superior, the Detroit-Superior Bridge that crosses over the Cuyahoga River into Ohio City. Detroit then runs through the entire west side of Cleveland, through the inner ring suburbs of Lakewood, Rocky River, the outer ring suburb of Westlake and on into the exurbs of Lorain County.
To the east this main drag runs through the length of several downtown districts out into the St. Clair-Superior and Glenville neighborhoods of the city. It continues through the suburbs of East Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, and terminates as it dead ends into the eastside boulevard, Mayfield Road. Unlike the westside which is fairly straight as it follows closely to the shore line of Lake Erie, the east side pattern of Superior twists and winds its way through the streets and communities of Greater Cleveland.
An address along Superior, especially downtown, is considered to be extremely exclusive, akin to Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles or Wall Street and/or Park Avenue in New York City. In fact, a number of important businesses, offices, and government institutions are located along Superior Avenue solely because this is the case.

Documenting hadron states with predominantly gluonic degrees of freedom, i.e. glueballs, has been a challenging and somewhat elusive pursuit. Even though such states are consistent with quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and predicted by both lattice simulations [@bali; @sexton; @morningstar; @lucini] and gluonic models [@ssjc; @flsc], clear experimental evidence is lacking. The purpose of this letter is to motivate additional experimental investigations by providing estimates, based upon VMD, of tensor glueball photoproduction observables and also to detail a possible decay signature for hadronic states with a significant gluonic component. The latter entails comparable $VV'$ hadronic widths, with the largest branch to $\omega
\phi$ that promptly goes to $3 \pi K \bar{K}$, and somewhat suppressed $\omega \gamma$ and $\phi \gamma$ radiative decays relative to $\rho \gamma$. As discussed below, this decay signature is not expected for hadrons with a predominantly quark structure. These results are essentially model-independent since they follow directly from the general principles of VMD, which has been found to agree with more fundamental QCD based meson radiative calculations [@scpm], and the flavor independence of quark-gluonic couplings.
Consider the radiative decay $f_2 \rightarrow V(k') \gamma(k)$ of a neutral tensor hadron with arbitrary quark, gluon structure and mass $M_f$. Here $k$, $k'$ are the momenta of the photon and vector meson with mass $M_V$ ($k'^2 = M_V^2$). The most general, gauge invariant $f_2V
\gamma$ vertex is [@ren; @ol] $$\begin{aligned}
<\gamma (k) V(k') | f_2> &=& \epsilon^\kappa \epsilon'^\lambda f^{\mu \nu}
A_{\kappa \lambda \mu \nu} (k, k') \ ,
\\
A_{\kappa \lambda \mu \nu} (k, k') &=& 4 \frac{g_1}{M_f^4} B_{\kappa \lambda \mu \nu} + 2
\frac{g_2}{M_f^2} C_{\kappa \lambda \mu \nu} \ ,

Decided February 12, 1957.
The cause was argued before COLLINS, HENDERSON, HAMMOND and PRESCOTT, JJ., and MacGILL, J., Associate Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit, specially assigned.
E. Dale Adkins, Jr., and Allen A. Davis, Jr., with whom was Hilary W. Gans on the brief, for the appellant.
*205 Hamilton P. Fox, Jr., with whom were Charles E. Hearne, Jr., and James P. Bailey on the brief, for the appellee.
PRESCOTT, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.
This is an appeal by the defendant below, Monumental Life Insurance Company, from a judgment entered on a verdict by a jury in the Circuit Court for Wicomico County in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of eleven thousand, five hundred eighty-six dollars and eighty-five cents ($11,586.85), with interest, after the trial court had overruled the defendant's motions for judgment n.o.v. and in the alternative for a new trial.
The action was brought on a life insurance policy, within the contestable period of said policy, by the appellee, plaintiff below, primary beneficiary, against the defendant to recover the face amount of the policy and the commuted value of the family income benefits provided under the same.
At the conclusion of the taking of testimony, the defendant offered proper demurrer prayers that requested directed verdicts in its behalf. As our decision must be based upon whether the trial court's rulings were proper, the evidence must be set forth, somewhat in detail, and in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. Mrs. Taylor, the plaintiff, was called and testified: that her husband's occupation was that of an insurance man; that she and her husband were living in Easton, Maryland, when he took out the policy; that Dr. Palmer was the physician who examined her husband at that time; that proof of death had been furnished the defendant, and demand for the payment of benefits had been made upon it, which was denied; and, the defendant had proffered to refund the premium paid on the policy. Plaintiff also offered the policy of insurance and the certificate and proof of death. In rebuttal plaintiff testified: that prior to the issuance of the policy, the only physicians consulted by her husband, to her knowledge

Not so with government tech. With even small projects, you are beholden to
policies that were written several levels up. Things like no cloud-based
hosting, no sites that don't use government-written style guidelines, and in
many cases, no development that occurs outside the government facility. If you
hamstrung pretty much any private tech company with the same restrictions
government contractors have to deal with, I can guarantee you they would look
a lot different.
That's not to say that change can't occur, but to attack the contractors is to
misunderstand the root cause of why government software is historically so
bad. There are actually many, many very talented developers and software
engineers steeped in the latest lean startup theories inside the beltway, but
they can seldom use any of that because government policies stand in their
way. For most projects, you are dealing with literally thousands of
regulations throughout the development process, and most software apps have to
account for ever-changing laws and policies that are specific to each
application.
However I have already seen a great deal of positive change, with many
agencies opening their minds to newer, faster methods of development and
allowing better tools to be used.

So it's an accident that this involved fresh hackers from Silicon Valley?
~~~
dkrich
Not an accident- selectivity bias. Ask those hackers to build an app for the
USPS, FDA, the DOE or any other agency that imposes strict regulations and has
to implement business logic to account for tens of thousands of rules (not an
exaggeration) and see how agile and innovative they are. There's a reason that
most of these contracts are worth between 7 and 8 figures. That's the kind of
manpower required to engineer them.

jessriedel
The point is that you went from v1 to v2, and the major thing that changed was
the age and attitude of the team. If that sort of dramatic improvement was
only conditional on other aspects of the situation, fine, but that doesn't
invalidate the article.

Q:
Keeping console text with RedirectStandardOutput
I'm creating a windows forms application and I'm trying to get the output from a console application whilst keeping the output printed out on the application aswell.
I tried creating a Process, setting RedirectStandardOutput to true and ExecuteShell to false, then I started an async read operation which worked perfectly, the problem is that my applcation "steals" the output from the application so the output isn't shown in the application anymore.
Is there any way to capture the output whilst keeping the output on the console application? I was thinking of perhaps capturing the output and then sending all of the ouput back to the outputstream of the application, but I have no idea how to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance,
Jamey
A:
Native methods AllocConsole and FreeConsole can be used to create and destroy a console for any running process and child console processes will use their parent's console by default (they won't create additional floating console windows that aren't useful), so you can attach a console to your own process, start the child process, and then write the output to your newly allocated console to do what you're trying to accomplish. If you also need the user to be able to provide input to the console application, the solution will be somewhat hairier, but it should still be possible to put something together that starts a separate thread with the job of passing console input through to the child process. One other nice detail about this implementation is that you can keep the console and its output around past the exit of the child process if you want to.
The form below has two buttons, but to keep the example code compact I don't include the buttons themselves, just their click events.
public partial class RunForm : Form
{
public RunForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void runButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

NativeMethods.AllocConsole();

{
process.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "/c echo Hello world!";
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

Radiation shields adapted to flank or surround cryogenic elements or surfaces, especially cryogenic members of machines such as cryopumps, have been provided heretofore in the form of angle strips which lie in a jalousie configuration so as to form an optically obstructing system whereby straight-line passage of radiation to or from the cryogenic surface is blocked by the strips.
Reference will be made to the concept of "optical obstruction" hereinafter and it should be understood that this is intended to mean that the spaced-apart strips are so oriented that they intercept straight-line radiation to or from the cryogenic surface, i.e. are so disposed that a lower edge of one strip lies below or is coplanar with the upper edge of the next underlying strip. To this extent, projections of the strips in a plane parallel to the radiation surface will overlap. It is this type of overlapping which is intended when overlapping is discussed below.
Radiation shields of this type thus include a multiplicity of spaced-apart but superimposed inclined strips of high thermal conductivity held together by a body which itself is cooled, i.e. filled with a cooling medium.
As has been noted, such heat shields are employed to minimize the heat influx to the cold surfaces of cryopumps and the like.
In general the sheet-metal strips are blackened, are disposed in the optical obstruction relationship mentioned previously, but nevertheless form a gas-permeable structure which is cooled by the liquid coolant, for example, liquid nitrogen.
In prior-art systems, these strips have been bent or angled metal strips with a V cross section whose apex angle was usually 120.degree. and the strips were soldered onto the ducts or vessels containing the liquid nitrogen and forming side walls of the radiation shield.
Direct radiation to and from the cryogenic surface was thus blocked effectively by the array of strips flanking the surface while gas permeability, although reduced to about 25% by a properly designed strip array with minimum overlapping, was still quite satisfactory with respect to the savings in liquid helium consumption achieved by this device.
While these devices were found to be highly effective, they were expensive to fabricate and had to be custom-built for each cryogenic installation. Furthermore, once constructed, they could not be effectively altered to change their size or repair or replace the strips. Furthermore, the non-permeability of the sidewalls precludes effective operation of the cryogenic device, e.g. the cryopump, whose intake side frequently was partly obstruct

Jianlin Wang, chairman of Dalian Wanda, which bought AMC, wants his company to reach $100 billion in revenue by 2020, up from the current level of $30 billion. While his home market China is the fastest growing movie market in the world, he'll still need overseas acquisitions to achieve his goal.
"The acquisition of AMC is just the start," says Wang, and "probably before the end of the year we may complete one or two more deals." He says he expects to spend another $7 billion in the U.S. by the end of this decade.
Wang tells CNBC that he plans acquisitions in nearly every part of the globe. By doing so, he thinks he can garner better profit-sharing agreements with Hollywood movie studios and hence higher profitability.
International Vitamin Corporation, of Freehold, N.J., came into being after a Chinese company bought the vitamin assets of Inverness Medical from private equity in 2010. CEO Steven Dai says the investors (he's one of them) have pumped "upwards of hundred millions of dollars into the company," since then-improving its IT backbone, expanding warehouse capacity, and increasing the number of employees from 280 to 400, all of them in the U.S.
Dai, the only Chinese employee, says buying an American company made the most sense because the U.S. has a highly developed, multi-billion dollar, nutritional market "which constantly grows every year."
Of the three companies that spoke to CNBC, the one with the longest history in the U.S. is China Construction of America, a wholly owned subsidiary of China State Construction Engineering Corporation (Shanghai Stock Exchange: 1668-SZ) (CSCEC) that had $500 million in revenue in 2012. (Parent company CSCEC had revenue of $92 billion last year.) Although publicly traded in Shanghai, CSCEC shares are majority owned by the Chinese government, making China Construction of America part of what's known as a State-Owned Enterprise, or SOE.
China Construction set up shop here nearly 30 years ago in 1985 because the U.S. was the world's largest construction market at the time. Why are they still doing business here, when China is now larger and growing faster? Geographic diversification, CEO Ning Yuan tells CNBC, in case the home market falters.

Appeal from the United States District Court
For the Western District of Louisiana
(CA-94-1549)
February 6, 1996
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DUHÉ and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:1
Appellant, Michael West, brought this 28 U.S.C. § 2255
proceeding challenging his drug offense convictions. The district
court denied relief without a hearing. We affirm, although on a
different basis than the district court.
West’s primary contention is that his counsel rendered
inadequate assistance because he failed to call West’s co-
defendants, Taylor and Mitchell, who were tried with him, as alibi

Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the Court has determined that this
opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under
the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.
witnesses. West supports his motion with an affidavit from one co-
defendant stating that he told West’s attorney that he would
testify that West was not involved in the activity which was the
subject of the indictment. The other co-defendant’s affidavit
stated that all the drugs were his, not West’s and that West did
not sell drugs to the undercover agent. We examine ineffective
assistance claims under the Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668
(1984) standard, and, assuming without deciding that counsel’s
performance was inadequate, conclude that Appellant cannot show
prejudice. We also conclude that no hearing in the district court
was required.
West and his co-defendants were tried together. West’s motion
for severance because of his desire to call one of the co-
defendants was denied. Since they were tried together, the co-
defendants would have to waive their right against self-
incrimination to testify. The trial record makes it clear that
this would not have happened. Neither co-defendant testified in
his own defense, so the statement in the affidavit

How long will it take for MRAM to be used instead of DRAM? - runeks
So after Everspin has successfully produced MRAM on a standard 90 nm process, I'm starting to wonder how long it will take for it to decline enough in price for it to be a viable replacement for/addition to DRAM. I found this[1] chart on the price of flash storage, and according to this chart a 100-fold decrease in price took place in about 5 years. According to this guy from Everspin[2] the current cost of their MRAM is 100 times higher than DRAM.<p>Do you think it's realistic that it will happen this fast - or faster - with MRAM?<p>I'm pretty excited about MRAM. I mean, think about how awesome it is to not worry about a machine losing its RAM content after being turned off. It's especially useful in mobile devices, since they don't need to refresh RAM content in standby mode.<p>[1] https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/bTMlHXSMEJHhgkUksSCTu1uupNMVZkgl-5C2vOg-8dsX5oX2Tc2WdPeozlUdWKmQpMZ7xX5sBbw8FDn_kZq42NtzO-E7Gwjj065JRXC3ZH-cCsjmOt8

Honestly, I'm predicting never. PCM maybe, but even that is a stretch.
The real question is whether the cell size of MRAM is smaller than DRAM in
process-independent units (F^2) and at what rate the cell size is improving.

Studying protein-protein interactions is crucial to gaining a better understanding of processes such as metabolic control, signal transduction, and gene regulation. Many biologically important interactions occur in weak, transient complexes that are not amenable to direct experimental analysis, even if both interacting proteins can be isolated and their structures determined. Thus it is important to develop computational docking methods that, starting from the structures of component proteins, can determine the structure of their complexes with accuracy close to that obtained by X-ray crystallography.

THEA: ontology-driven analysis of microarray data.
Microarray technology makes it possible to measure thousands of variables and to compare their values under hundreds of conditions. Once microarray data are quantified, normalized and classified, the analysis phase is essentially a manual and subjective task based on visual inspection of classes in the light of the vast amount of information available. Currently, data interpretation clearly constitutes the bottleneck of such analyses and there is an obvious need for tools able to fill the gap between data processed with mathematical

Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) is a rare form of autoimmune hemolytic anemia mediated by a biphasic IgG autoantibody that triggers complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis. The name PCH is derived from its classic presentation with episodic hemoglobinuria, typically following exposure to cold temperature. First described by Donath and Landsteiner 1904 \[[@CR1]-[@CR4]\], PCH was once considered to be a chronic condition in adults due to its association with syphilis. Today, most cases of PCH are acute, self-limited disorders that occur following transient viral or bacterial infections in children or adults \[[@CR1]-[@CR5]\]. Post-infectious PCH is usually caused by a polyclonal IgG autoantibody with specificity for the erythrocyte P antigen \[[@CR1]-[@CR3],[@CR5]-[@CR11]\]. PCH also can present in association with lymphoproliferative disorders, in which case the pathogenic autoantibody tends to be a monoclonal IgG \[[@CR9],[@CR10]\]. To our knowledge, PCH associated with pregnancy has not been described previously. Herein, we report a case of a young, healthy female who presented during early pregnancy with acute intravascular hemolysis due to PCH.
Case presentation {#Sec2}
=================
An 18 year old female patient presented with acute symptoms of abdominal and flank pain, nausea, dark red urine, fevers and chills. One month prior to presentation, she had experienced a few days of rhinorrhea and headaches, suggestive of a viral upper respiratory tract infection. Upon presentation, she was found to be pregnant by serum hCG and ultrasound, with an estimated gestational age of 6 weeks. Laboratory evaluation showed hemoglobin 11.2 g/dL, haptoglobin \<20 mg/dL, total bilirubin 6.8 mg/dL, direct bilirubin 0.7 mg/dL, lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) 735 U/L, and absolute reticulocyte count 49.3 K/μL. Urine analysis demonstrated 3+ blood and the microscopic examination was negative for red blood cells. A direct antiglobulin test was positive for anti-C3d and negative for IgG. The cold agglutinin titer was negative (\<2). Donath Landsteiner antibody testing was performed using a blood sample that was immediately immersed into an insulated container filled with water at 37°C, and directly delivered to the testing laboratory.

Now I'd like to extend this function a bit. I would like to generate what date it will be if I add X working days from the starting date. Say for example i have a variable that holds the value 20
$workingdays = "20";
And the $startdate is 2012-06-01 i would like to make this function calculate that the startdate + 20 working days will be 2012-06-28. Would this be possible?
A:
I did a similar thing a while back using the below function. the key here is skipping the weekends, you can extend this to skip holidays as well.
Example:
Call the function - > addDays(strtotime($startDate), 20, $skipdays,$skipdates = array())
<?php
function addDays($timestamp, $days, $skipdays = array("Saturday", "Sunday"), $skipdates = NULL) {
// $skipdays: array (Monday-Sunday) eg. array("Saturday","Sunday")
// $skipdates: array (YYYY-mm-dd) eg. array("2012-05-02","2015-08

FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a DETF accelerometer constructed according to the prior art techniques. The accelerometer of FIG. 1 combines a proof mass 2 and DETFs 4, 6. DETFs 4, 6, however, are positioned at much different distances 14, 16 from the centerline 8 of the hinges 10, 12. Thus, the non-linearities of the two DETFs do not cancel effectively when the difference frequency is formed, even when the DETFs are designed for the ideal case in which second-order non-linearity, K2, values cancel when subjected to purely axial forces. The lack of second-order non-linearity cancellation when the difference frequency is formed causes measurement errors and raises difficulties when DETF force sensors and accelerometers are used in applications requiring a high degree of linearity.
General information on the design of vibrating beam accelerometers may be found in the text by Lawrence entitled Modern Inertial Technology: Navigation, Guidance and Control, Copyright 1993, Springer-Verlag, N.Y.
The invention recognizes and accounts for the fact that the deformation of the DETFs in a two-DETF, single-proof-mass accelerometer are not purely axial extensions or compressions, but also involve rotations and transverse displacements of the ends of the DETFs. The rotations and displacements create additional changes in the tine stiffnesses beyond those that occur due to simple stress stiffening effects. The effect of the additional stiffness changes is to alter the linearities of the DETFs, so that the second-order effects such as those due to, for example, Euler buckling loads, do not cancel when the difference frequency is formed.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention includes various embodiments which overcome the problems of the prior art by providing positioning of the two DETFs which minimizes or eliminates second-order, K2, non-linearity effects.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the invention provides methods for positioning the dual-DETFs such that second-order non-linearities of the two DETFs will be equal under the deformations that they actually undergo in use. Thus, the present invention provides cancellation of the composite second-order non-linearity.
According to yet another aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides single processing etching mask change to fine tune the position of the two DETFs which minimizes both individual DETF second-order non-linearity and the composite common mode second-order non-linear

Relationship with the CDC 6600
The CDC 7600 "was designed to be machine code upward compatible with the 6600, but to provide a substantial increase in performance". One user said: "Most users could run on either system without changes."
Although the 7600 shared many features of the 6600, including hardware, instructions, and its 60-bit word size, it was not object-code compatible with the CDC 6600. In addition, it was not entirely source-code (COMPASS) compatible, as some instructions in the 7600 did not exist in the 6600, and vice versa. It had originally been named the CDC 6800, but was changed to 7600 when Cray decided that it could not be completely compatible. However, due to the 7600's operating system design, the 6600 and 7600 shared a "uniform software environment" despite the low-level differences.
In fact, from a high-level perspective, the 7600 was quite similar to the 6600. At the time computer memory could be arranged in blocks with independent access paths, and Cray's designs used this to their advantage. While most machines would use a single CPU to run all the functionality of the system, Cray realized that this meant each memory block spent a considerable amount of time idle while the CPU was processing instructions and accessing other blocks. In order to take advantage of this, the 6600 and 7600 left mundane housekeeping tasks, printing output or reading punched cards, for instance, to a series of ten smaller 12-bit machines based on the CDC 160A known as "Peripheral Processor Units", or PPUs. For any given cycle of the machine one of the PPUs was in control, feeding data into the memory while the main processor was crunching numbers. When the cycle completed, the next PPU was given control. In this way the memory always held up-to-date information for the main processor to work on (barring delays in the external devices themselves), eliminating delays on data, as well as allowing the CPU to be built for mathematical performance and nothing else. The PPU could have been called a very smart "communications channel".
Like the 6600, the 7600 used 60-bit words with instructions that were generally 15 bits in length, although there were also 30-bit instructions. The instructions were packed into the 60-bit words, but a 30-bit instruction could not straddle two words. However, the instruction set itself had

For this reason, we must ensure that different “sampleable” policies get reward from different states. As a first step, we make a couple of definitions to say which states provide reward to which policies. The concepts of \[def:value-support\] are illustrated in \[fig:value-support\].
A CRMDP $\mu$ is *unichain* if any stationary policy $\pi:\S\to\Delta\A$ induces a stationary distribution $d_\pi$ on $\S$ that is independent of the initial state $s_0$.
\[def:value-support\] In a unichain CRMDP, let the *asymptotic value contribution* of $s$ to $\pi$ be $\vc^\pi(s)=d_\pi(s)\orf(s)$. We say that a set $\S^\delta_i$ is *$\delta$-value supporting* a policy $\pi_i$ if $$\forall s\in\S^\delta_i\colon \vc^{\pi_i}(s)\geq \delta/|\S^\delta_i|.$$

It is unsuitable for practical implementation both because of the extreme data and memory requirements of Step 1, and because of the computational complexity of Step 2. Finding a practical approximation is left for future research.

Summarizingprovides the opportunity to identify
and integrate the most important information in the text. Text can be
summarized across sentences, across paragraphs, and across the passage as a
whole. When the students first begin the reciprocal teaching procedure, their
efforts are generally focused at the sentence and paragraph levels. As they
become more proficient, they are able to integrate at the paragraph and passage
levels. Kemampuan

Question generatingreinforces the summarizing strategy
and carries the learner one more step along in the comprehension activity. When
students generate questions, they first identify the kind of information that
is significant enough to provide the substance for a question. They then pose
this information in question form and self-test to ascertain that they can
indeed answer their own question. Question generating is a flexible strategy to
the extent that students can be taught and encouraged to generate questions at
many levels. For example, some school situations require that students master
supporting detail information; others require that the students be able to
infer or apply new information from text. Question generating ini digunakan
untuk memonitor dan mengevalusi sejauhmana pemahaman siswa terhadap bahan bacaan.
Clarifying is an activity that is particularly
important when working with students who have a history of comprehension
difficulty. These students may believe that the purpose of reading is saying
the words correctly; they may not be particularly uncomfortable that the words,
and in fact the passage, are not making sense. When the students are asked to
clarify, their attention is called to the fact that there may be many reasons
why text is difficult to understand (e.g., new vocabulary, unclear reference
words, and unfamiliar and perhaps difficult concepts). They are taught to be
alert to the effects of such impediments to comprehension and to take the
necessary measures to restore meaning (e.g., reread, ask for help).Dalam

In attempting to show that the plaintiff still needed support, plaintiff's counsel presumably was relying on the guidelines set forth by the Sixth Circuit in In re Calhoun, 715 F.2d 1103 (6th Cir.1983). The Calhoun Court explained that to determine whether an obligation is in the nature of alimony, maintenance or support "the initial inquiry must be to ascertain whether the state court or the parties to the divorce intended to create an obligation to provide support through the assumption of the joint debts. If they did not, the inquiry ends there." Id. at 1109 (emphasis in original). The Court went on to explain that if the bankruptcy court finds that the threshold element of intent has been satisfied, then the court must inquire whether, inter alia, the assumption of the debt has the effect of providing the support necessary to ensure that the daily needs of the former spouse and any children of the marriage are satisfied. Id. The Court noted that the distribution or existence of other property may make the continuing assumption of joint debts unnecessary for support. Id.
We note that the Sixth Circuit and the Fourth Circuit agree that intent is the threshold element that must be satisfied before other considerations become relevant. Compare Calhoun, 715 F.2d at 1109 with Tilley, 789 F.2d at 1078 n. 4. As explained below, we find that the plaintiff in the case at bar has not carried her burden of proving that both parties intended for the debt at issue to be in the nature of alimony, maintenance or support. Accordingly, our inquiry ends there. We note, however, that even if the plaintiff had met her threshold burden of proving mutual intent, this Court follows the majority rule of not taking into consideration the plaintiff spouse's present needs in a section 523(a)(5) determination. See Forsdick v. Turgeon, 812 F.2d 801, 803-04 (2d Cir.1987) (noting that Sixth Circuit's decision in Calhoun is example of minority view on question of whether bankruptcy court should consider the changed financial circumstances of wife in determining whether an obligation is dischargeable under § 523(a)(5) and finding that there is no warrant for bankruptcy court to evaluate an alimony award against the needs of the former spouse to whom it was granted).

I love where this is going. I now use Chrome's Dev channel or a WebKit nightly
for development, and only launch Firefox/Firebug to do compatibility testing.
Although I still have a ton of respect for Firefox's rendering engine, the
browser just feels wrong on the Mac -- not to mention it's slow launch times.
The Inspector Panel has caught up to Firebug's functionality in many areas and
is now starting to surpass it.
What kills me is launching IE in a VM and discovering how archaic its
developer tools are.

DrJokepu
I would be the last one to defend IE in general but have you had a look at the
Developer Tools of IE8? I think it's pretty decent stuff.
~~~
fortybillion
I haven't, I will test those out for sure.
IE8, of course, is the least troublesome but it's good to have options.

oomkiller
It has IE7 "Mode", so you can use the IE8 dev tools to debug IE7 issues.

fortybillion
IE7 mode seems to catch 95% of the cases, but I have had issues crop up in
"real" IE7 that were not present when tested under IE8.

I've gotten more used to the inspector, but I absolutely hate the style
inspector. Firebug got it right with making it look like your own CSS. Also I
often times can't edit a style rule, and I'm not sure why that is.
I hope those things change and improve. It doesn't seem like they want to go
the Firebug route with the CSS style inspector.

Could you be more specific? Is it just a font thing?

For my dislike of it? No, it's that I love firebug's way of displaying your
CSS entries, and the webkit inspectors way is just less enjoyable to me. I
like that in Firebug you inspect your CSS like you would normal CSS, but in

Most current purification methodologies are very expensive due to the requirement for multiple steps and empirical development. In principle, immuno-affinity chromatography (IAC) should provide a very attractive alternative as it affords remarkable enrichment in a single step and is easily adapted to any target compound. Unfortunately however, IAC has seen rather restricted use due to difficulty eluting captured ligand without inactivating the antibody and/or product. Generally a large number of candidate antibodies must be screened to find one that releases the antigen under

Quantitative detection of intracellular bacteria of the genus Chlamydia by the standard cell culture method is cumbersome and operator dependent. As an alternative, we adapted hot-start PCR to the glass capillary quantitative PCR format of the LightCycler. The optimized PCR was consistently more efficient than commercially available pre-assembled PCRs. Detection by quantitative PCR of as few as single copies of DNA of Chlamydia spp. was accomplished by SYBR Green fluorescence of the dsDNA product and by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (

Patient A
=========
Patient A was a 50-year-old woman presenting with a 4-month history of depressed mood, diminished concentration, decreased motivation, and insomnia. She was not on any medications, had undergone menopause at 45 years of age, reported no history of medical comorbidities, and had not previously experienced manic or depressive episodes. She had no family history of mental illness. In addition, her thyroid gland was functioning normally (TSH: 2.68 µU/mL, FT4: 1.14 ng/dL, FT3: 2.6 pg/mL). She was then diagnosed with major depressive disorder in accordance with criteria outlined in the fifth edition of the *Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders* (DSM-5),[@b35-ndt-14-2099] following which she was prescribed escitalopram at a dosage of 10 mg/day. After 14 days, she exhibited mild improvement in her depressive symptoms. However, as this effect was insufficient, the dose was increased to 20 mg/day. After an additional 14 days, the patient developed hypomania lasting more than 4 days, exhibiting arrogant and aggressive behavior, inflated self-esteem, uncharacteristic talkative behavior and overspending, as well as a decreased need for sleep. Symptoms of hypomania improved as escitalopram was tapered off. The patient is currently stable on a treatment regimen consisting of lithium at 800 mg/day, and she has exhibited no hypomanic symptoms since the cessation of escitalopram treatment.
Patient B
=========
Patient B was a 66-year-old woman presenting with a 2-month history of depressed mood, anxiety, inhibition of thoughts, decreased motivation, loss of appetite, and general malaise. She had previously been diagnosed with hypertension and rheumatoid arthritis, although her physical condition had been stable for several years due to treatment with antihypertensive and immunosuppressive agents, respectively. She underwent menopause at 48 years of age, had no past history of manic or depressive episodes, and no family history of bipolar disorder. Her thyroid gland was functioning normally (TSH: 1.90 µU/mL, FT4 1.26 ng/dL, FT3: 2.3 pg/mL). She was then diagnosed with major depressive disorder in accordance with criteria outlined in the DSM-5, following which she was prescribed escitalopram at a dosage of 10 mg/day.

The fiber-reinforced plastics industry, particularly the glass-reinforced polyester industry, is under pressure from environmental and safety regulators to reduce and eventually eliminate the use and production of volatile organic compounds. As a result, these industries are searching for methods that avoid the use of organic solvents, particularly in spraying applications. For example, the glass-reinforced polyester industry, which uses styrene in the manufacturing process, has begun to use styrene-suppressed resins. It is particularly desirable to avoid the use of styrene because it is highly tamable as well as a suspected carcinogen and environmental contaminant. These styrene-suppressed resins, however, include a significant amount of wax, which calls for special precautions, such as careful surface preparation to remove wax, to ensure good secondary bonds. Thus, alternative resin systems are needed for the preparation of fiber-reinforced plastic components.
Solvent-free and low-solvent two-component polyurethane systems are known and used in the production of coatings, resins, lacquers, pastes, and adhesives. For example, two-component lacquers based on 4,4'-diisocyanato diphenylmethane are used in quick-hardening coatings on concrete, steel, industrial floors, etc. Two-component polyurethane systems are also used in making molded parts. For example, in the reaction injection molding (RIM) process, a polyisocyanate and an isocyanate-reactive component, e.g., a mixture of a polyol and a chain extender or crosslinker having amine or hydroxyl groups, are mixed and injected, generally under high pressure, into a mold with subsequent rapid curing. These "two components," i.e., the isocyanate component and the isocyanate-reactive component, are highly reactive and therefore must be introduced into the mold very rapidly and perfectly mixed. Fiber-reinforced molded products can be made using the RIM process with a reinforcing mat placed in the mold. Generally inferior products result, however, because the RIM reactants react too quickly and become too viscous before they are able to completely impregnate the mat.
A more desirable process than reaction injection molding involves spraying. Few polyurethane compositions are available that can be sprayed, however, particularly to form fiber-reinforced molded products. This is because curing of polyurethane compositions are difficult to control such that fibrous reinforcement material, e.g., fiberglass, can be fully impregnated or wetted out.

Pongaroa is a town in the Tararua District, in the southeast of the North Island of New Zealand, 110 kilometres southwest of Hastings and 200 kilometres northeast of Wellington. The nearest town is Pahiatua, 50 kilometres to the west. Popular Akitio Beach is 30 kilometres to the east. The township straddles Route 52, a road between Masterton and Waipukurau.
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "tall tree fern" for Pongaroa.
Pongaroa village has a population of about 100, with the surrounding farms bringing the total population to about 300. The area is serviced by Pongaroa School, Pongaroa Cafe and General Store, Pongaroa Hotel, and Pongaroa Farm Centre. Pongaroa is also the location of the New Zealand Centre for Equine Psychology and Behaviour and Wildside Farm environmental education retreat.
As a rural community, Pongaroa relies on community spirit and on the local community-development organisation "Pongaroa The Way To Go". Volunteers have been central to improvements in the area, such as the installation of public toilets, the establishment of a freedom campsite and the enhancement of the village centre.
Historically, Pongaroa belonged in the northern Wairarapa area. At one time during the early settlement years in the latter half of the 19th century, the township was much larger: people expected that the Masterton-Napier Railway would run through Pongaroa. However, eventually the Wairarapa Line cut through Pahiatua (1897) and thus that township grew, whilst Pongaroa remained a farming community. Pongaroa became an administrative centre of Akitio County, which functioned between 1899 and 1976.
Pāpāuma marae, a marae (tribal meeting ground) of the Rangitāne tribes and its Ngāti Mutuahi, Ngāti Pakapaka and Te Hika a Pāpāuma hapū (sub-tribes), is located in the Pangaoroa area. It includes Te Aroha o Aohanga wharenui (meeting house), also known as Pāpāuma.

When only phase modulation is used, it is not possible to cluster 4 points with equal distance to the original point. As a result this constellation is not expected to perform as well as the QAM schemes. The results shown in Fig. \[psk\_error\_v\_blatancy\] and Fig. \[psk\_error\_v\_quality\] confirm this to be the case.
While $\beta = 1.0$ corresponds to a standard 16-PSK constellation, some secret symbols are spread very far from their corresponding legacy symbols. Hence, very high blatancy interferes with the cover much more than in either of the QAM schemes. Fig. \[psk\_error\_v\_blatancy\] shows that this is the case even for the relatively high signal quality of 25 dB. Here there is a relatively small range of feasible blatancy, roughly 0.5 to 0.7. Because of this, tuning would be more difficult with this level of signal quality, especially in varying conditions, though an automatic solution would be able to provide a reliable channel. The same quality, 25 dB, is shown here to facilitate direct comparison with the other constellations, but realistically a higher SNR would be required for good performance with 4x4-PSK. As can be seen in Fig. \[psk\_error\_v\_quality\], at around 28 dB near-perfect performance is possible with $\beta = 0.6$.
While the effects of blatancy manipulation here are considerably more sporadic and unpredictable, the signal does show a predicable improvement in error rate as quality increases. With higher signal quality the range of feasible blatancies would be wider, making manual or automatic tuning simpler.
The 4x4-PSK constellation results in a signal that is both more obvious and less robust than either QAM arrangement. However, these results show that constellation-based steganography is possible in a context where only phase modulation is possible.
Stealth
=======
Due to noise, symbol points as decoded by a receiver differ from the ideal constellation. The stealth of each scheme can thus be visualised as a scatter plot of the received points. Such a plot for a stealthy signal looks like a noisy legacy constellation, but the secret constellation is visible for a less stealthy signal. Because a transmission is composed of many thousands of symbols, a histogram is shown on each axis to better illustrate their distribution. This plot is

It's not that the oil suddenly disappeared — it's still there, but it can't be removed from the ground. Unlike the relatively stable shale oil fields of North Dakota and Texas, the Monterey Shale has been folded and shattered by seismic activity, making the oil it contains inaccessible — at least by current technology.
In other words, there's not going to be a giant oil boom in California's near future, and the state, as a result, is not going to add 2.8 million new industry jobs or see its tax revenue increase by $24.6 billion annually, as oil and gas interests had claimed. In fact, there's likely not going to be a boom at all. And so, if the state were to enact a ban on fracking now, it probably would have little to no impact on California's economy. As such, there's no reason for the governor and lawmakers to continue to back a controversial practice that involves shooting massive amounts of water and toxic chemicals deep into the earth and has been linked to groundwater and air pollution and to earthquakes.
Perhaps that's why the state Senate's Appropriations Committee approved SB 1132 late last week — after the feds released their revised estimate on the Monterey Shale. The bill would implement a ban on fracking while state officials complete a comprehensive environmental review of the fossil-fuel extraction method. The legislation is now headed for a full vote by the state Senate. And there's no good reason for the legislature or the governor to now oppose it.
Indeed, they should have enacted a fracking ban in 2013. It was already clear last year that the extreme environmental hazards caused by fracking simply aren't worth the risks — even considering the potential boost to the state's economy, which still seemed possible last year. Voters have realized this fact. Last week (before the feds released their revised estimate), a poll showed that a supermajority of state residents — 68 percent — said they support a fracking moratorium. Even a majority of Republican voters — 51 percent — expressed support for a temporary ban.
In short, it's long past time for state lawmakers and the governor to catch up to the general public. California doesn't need to be fracked.

Standards for Summary Judgment
Summary judgment is proper "if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c); Cox v. Acme Health Serv., Inc., 55 F.3d 1304, 1308 (7th Cir.1995). A genuine issue of material fact exists for trial when, in viewing the record and all reasonable inferences drawn from it in a light most favorable to the nonmoving party, a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the non-movant. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 2510, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986); Hedberg v. Indiana Bell Tel. Co., 47 F.3d 928, 931 (7th Cir.1995). The movant has the burden of establishing that there is no genuine issue of material fact. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2553, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986). If the movant satisfies this burden, the non-movant must set forth specific facts that demonstrate the existence of a genuine issue for trial. Fed. R.Civ.P. 56(e); Celotex, 477 U.S. at 324, 106 S.Ct. at 2553. Rule 56(c) mandates the entry of summary judgment against a party "who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party's case, and in which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial." Celotex, 477 U.S. at 322, 106 S.Ct. at 2552-53; Waldridge v. American Hoechst Corp., 24 F.3d 918, 920 (7th Cir.1994). A scintilla of evidence in support of the non-moving party's position is not sufficient to oppose successfully a summary judgment motion; "there must be evidence on which the jury could reasonably find for the [non-movant]." Anderson, 477 U.S. at 250, 106 S.Ct. at 2511.

It blows my mind they didn’t have sane PKI with that many resources. It seems
like even the “small” initial team of a couple devs, a manager, _and a
director_ would’ve at least spun up a vault instance to use as a CA.
Also, easy for me say from the peanut gallery, but don’t understand why they
couldn’t have done rolling consul restarts to update the configs, I’ve done
this many times on consul clusters.

Not mine. Inhouse CA management is a true PITA, even multiple-thousand-people
companies regularly fuck this up. I have experienced hours of outage because
someone failed to renew the certificate for one of the thousands of pieces
making up a Cisco network environment, and don't get me started on the drama
that is root CA certificate rollover, experienced this in three companies and
nowhere it was painless...

I have seen this more than a couple times, at big places with resources to
manage it. Is it just me or does the TLS and PKI tooling just seem weak? I
keep thinking there should be some badass tool that helps manage this sort of
thing, is there something I don’t know about?

mschuster91
It's not just the tooling that's weak, it's also terminology and education. If
you're not dabbling in crypto occasionally, half the OpenSSL manual and 100%
of its codebase will be like hieroglyphs... leading to the fact that most
organizations put the operation of their PKI to the one person who can
successfully manage to get a working HTTPS cert after copypasting shit from
Stackoverflow and wrangling with the validation tool of their certificate
vendor.
What also really bothers me is that there is no way that (assuming I own the

The Flavin-Containing Monooxygenase (FMO) is arguably the most important understudied mammalian enzyme known today. FMO is a major component of the defenses that protect humans against potentially toxic chemicals in their environment, including xenobiotics, drugs and pesticides. A compound containing a tertiary amine or a nucleophilic sulfur nucleus is efficiently N- or S-oxygenated by FMO and converted to a form more readily excreted. Even though FMO is present in high levels in

Xenon is a narcotic gas that might be able to replace volatile anaesthetics or nitrous oxide due to its favourable pharmacological properties, such as providing haemodynamic stability. Intestinal oxygenation is affected by most volatile anaesthetics as a result of cardiodepressive effects. Reducing oxygenation of the gut might be a factor leading to perioperative organ dysfunction.

Similarly, a one-way ANOVA analysis for pollen tube length showed that the seven cultivars had different pollen tube lengths (*P* ≤ .05) ranging from 0.22 to 1.15 mm (Fig. [3](#Fig3){ref-type="fig"}). The pollen tube lengths of Red Globe were the longest (1.15 mm). Pollen tube lengths of five of the cultivars (0.85 mm for Flame Seedless, 0.64 mm for Tangwei and Xuefeng, 0.22 mm for Yanshan) were significantly different (*P* ≤ .05). There were no significant differences (*P* ≤ .05) between the pollen tube lengths of Beichun (0.97 ± 0.06 mm), Shuangyou (0.88 ± 0.06 mm), and Red Globe (1.15 ± 0.06 mm). Kelen and Demirtas ([@CR17]) also drew similar conclusions, namely that pollen viability, germinability, and tube growth differed significantly among grape cultivars. These authors also studied the fertilization biology of eight grape cultivars including berry diameter and length, berry weight, seed numbers, and seed weight. In the future, we will investigate the fertilization biology of our seven crosses and investigate further the relationship between pollen production and fruit set. Our research examined the pollen viability of seven seedless cultivars. Of the wild Chinese *Vitis* species or cultivars, Beichun and Shuangyou are considered to be the best male parents for hybridization with seedless *V*. *vinifera* grape cultivars.Figure 3.Pollen tube lengths (millimeters ± SE after 24 h) for seven cultivars cultured on pollen medium.

Sampling time (the embryo rescue time) had a significant effect on embryo rescue efficiency. Embryos are hard to save if sampling time is too early, but they will abort if sampling time is too late (Bin et al. [@CR2]). Therefore, for seedless grape breeding using embryo-rescue techniques, it is critical to determine the optimal sampling time for each cultivar under investigation. This should be

In Tomb of Annihilation you have the mechanic in the game where you have to drink more water than normal. Since you can't really rely on the rain catcher all the time would a good subsitute be the Ranger/Druid spell Goodberry?
With Goodberry, one “berry provides enough nourishment to sustain a creature for one day.” Would this be enough or would player characters still need more since there is a higher need for resources?
A:
RAI, Goodberry isn't meant to provide water
Jeremy Crawford tweeted the intent behind the Goodberry spell - the "nourishment" provided by it still doesn't save you from thirst:
The nourishment provided by goodberry is meant to be like food, not water
So even if you eat goodberries, you still need water in Chult.
However, a GM has the last word
In the same tweet JC adds, that
a DM can say otherwise
So there are possible situations, where DM should make such a ruling. In Chult PCs need to drink a lot of water to survive, I'd say you shouldn't allow your party to completely neglect this part and just use Goodberry (by using all remaining spell slots before a long rest, for instance). But this depends on the DMing style and is opinion-based.
A:
Probably
Goodberry says "... the berry provides enough nourishment to
sustain a creature for one day."
Nourishment is not a game term so it takes its normal English meaning. The OED defines nourishment as "The food necessary for growth, health, and good condition" and food as "Any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or that plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth." Water is a "nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink ... in order to maintain life and growth."
In summary, a Goodbery gives you what you need to stay alive for 1 day. Whatever that is.
As an analogy, in a cold climate you need more kJ per day than in a hot climate to maintain body heat - those kJ are "nutrition" - does this work or is Goodberry only good in temperate climates?
As a game mechanism, Goodberry is serving exactly the same role as the rain catcher - it is draining party resources. For the former that comes in the form of a 1st

A variety of elongated composite structures may have relatively confined internal cavities that require inspection in order to assure that the structure meets production and/or performance specifications. Conventional composite structure cured with hard tooling results in composite radii that are well defined and repeatable. In contrast, the composite radii formed using soft tooling are not always well defined and may vary from part to part. In some cases, dimensional or contour variations may be greater than those that would result from using hard tooling. These larger variations make reliable inspection using conventional methods more challenging. In view of the deviation from circularity of soft-tooled composite radii, the term “radiused surface” as used hereinafter should be construed non-strictly to include surfaces that vary from being a section of a circular cylinder.
Critical composite structure in aerospace and potentially in applications outside aerospace must be inspected to required specifications to ensure structural integrity. Inspecting soft-tooled composite structures presents distinct yet interrelated challenges. Critical inspection areas include the radiused surfaces of composite part joint fillets. Moreover, such soft-tooled surfaces must be inspected in a production environment. For a production inspection, the inspection rate must be sufficient to meet the part production rate.
For ultrasonic inspection of composite structure, the ultrasound beam should ideally enter at 90 degrees to the local surface of the composite part being inspected. If it does not enter at 90 degrees, it will be refracted off normal and a return echo from any possible internal structure or anomaly will not be optimum. Traditionally a 90-degree entry angle is maintained by holding a sensor array at a precisely fixed position in space relative to the surface. While this works well for known surfaces, such as flat or cylindrical surfaces of a given, fixed radius and circular shape, this approach will not provide adequate results for surfaces which are, for example, parabolic, irregular, or of varying radius of not necessarily cylindrical cross section. Traditional methods of interrogating such a radius with ultrasound fail to keep the sound path sufficiently perpendicular over the entire inspection area.
Current practice in inspecting composite part joint fillets consists of sliding a probe that is geometrically aligned to a fixed fillet radius along the joint. If the radius changes away from this fixed alignment, the data becomes unusable. To realign to the new geometry, a physically different probe can be substituted or an adaptable probe can be manually readjusted. The readjustment or complete replacement, of the ultrasonic probe(s) during the operation slows the inspection process time dramatically.

Introduction
============
The minimization of the Mumford-Shah functional has been introduced in the framework of image analysis as a simple and yet powerful variational method for image-segmentation problems (see, [[*e.g.*]{}, ]{}[@AuKo; @MSreview; @MoSo; @VeCha]. In this field, a main task consists in detecting relevant object contours of (possibly distorted) digital images. Representing a gray-scale image on a domain $D\subset {\mathbb{R}}^{d}$ as a function $g:D\to[0,1]$ encoding at each point of $D$ the gray-level of the image, a “cartoon" version of $g$ is obtained by minimizing in the pair $(u,K)$ the functional $$\int_{D\setminus K}|\nabla u|^{2}{\,\mathrm{d}x}+\beta\,\mathcal{H}^{d-1}(K)+\gamma\int_{D}|u-g|^2{\,\mathrm{d}x}.$$ In this setting $K\subset D$ is a piece-wise regular and relatively closed set with finite $(d-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^{d-1}$, the function $u$ belongs to $C^{1}(D\setminus K)$ and $\beta$ and $\gamma$ are nonnegative parameters. Loosely speaking, the minimization of the above functional results in a pair $(u,K)$ where $u$ is smooth and close to the input image $g$ outside a set $K$ whose ${\mathcal{H}^{d-1}}$-measure has to be as small as possible. In this sense $K$ may be interpreted as the set of contours of the “cartoon” image $u$, or in other words the set of relevant object contours of $g$. Besides being a simple model for image segmentation (in this case the relevant space dimension is $d=2$), the Mumford-Shah functional has applications also in higher dimensions. The case $d=3$ is particularly important for its mechanical interpretation, as the functional coincides with the Griffith’s fracture energy in the anti-plane case (see [@BFM]).
A weaker formulation of the problem was proposed in [@AmDeG] and led to the introduction of the space $SBV$ of special functions of bounded variation on which the Mumford-Shah functional is defined as $$\label{eq:introMS}

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Nike Dunks For Sale Online . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. Jefferson scored 15 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter, and the Bobcats overtook the Detroit Pistons for a 116-106 victory Friday night. Charlotte trailed by 20 in the second quarter and by 14 heading into the fourth. "I dont know what was going on in the first half," Jefferson said. "It just got to a point where Id had enough. I just had to go out there and do what I can do." Kemba Walker scored 34 points for Charlotte and Gerald Henderson added 22, but the fourth quarter belonged to Jefferson. With Detroit up 99-94, the 6-foot-10 centre scored six straight points for the games first and only lead change. Then Walker added a 3-pointer from in front of the Detroit bench to make it 103-99. Jefferson scored Charlottes next seven points on a jumper, a three-point play and a 20-footer that made it 110-102. Brandon Jennings had 26 points for Detroit, which rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat Boston on Wednesday but blew a big lead two nights later. "When Al gets into that kind of rhythm, with his offensive game, Im not sure anyone is going to stop him," Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks said. "We really struggled with their dribble penetration. That had been getting better, but they were able to get their guards to the basket too easily. After that, they just started going to Jefferson in the post and steamrolled us." Down 89-75, the Bobcats scored the first nine points of the fourth quarter to get back in the game. Charlotte ended up with 72 points in the second half and outscored the Pistons 41-17 in the final quarter. The Pistons lost despite shooting 12 of 23 from 3-point range. Charlotte won even though forward Jeff Taylor played less than a minute before going down with a right Achilles injury. Taylor left the game after only 37 seconds. He stayed down for a while after the injury to his right leg and could be heard groaning in pain before he was eventually helped off the court. Taylor is expected to undergo further testing Saturday. The Bobcats have won three straight. Jefferson equaled a season high in scoring that hed set in an overtime win over Toronto on Wednesday. "He played great tonight," Charlottes Cody Zeller said

As someone with disposable income working in an open office, I desperately
want to know if this can be used to build something to cancel out human voices
more completely than Bose QC-35s.
~~~

For voices you need passive sound isolation, not active noise cancelling. Try
these: Howard Leight by Honeywell Sync Stereo MP3 Earmuff (1030110), Black
[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004U4A5RU/](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004U4A5RU/)
They also give off a very strong “I’m busy” vibe
If that’s still somehow not enough, wear these concurrently (this is great for
planes too): Etymotic High-Fidelity Earplugs, ER20XS Standard Fit, 1 pair,
Polybag Packaging
[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM6Q9XW/](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM6Q9XW/)
Also recommend the above with these foam tips for longer wear, I’ve done up to
16 hours with only a little discomfort: Shure EABKF1-10M Medium Foam Sleeves
(10 Included/5 Pair) for E3c, E4c, E5c, E500PTH, i3c, i4c & SE Earphones
(Black)

How about for lower frequencies: motorways, busy roads (no individual car
noises; a solid background roar)? They make having the window open here a
nightmare.

Isn't this exactly when active noise cancelling works the best?

Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, contributes significantly to cancer progression and metastasis, as the angiogenic switch represents a fundamental step in the progression of a solid tumor to a faster growing and more malignant state. Unlike normal vessels, tumor-associated blood vessels are notoriously leaky and tortuous, contributing to their poor function. Accordingly, recent attempts to normalize tumor blood vessels have proven successful as a means for improved delivery of anti-cancer agents. We hypothesize,

In normal healthy individuals, insulin blood levels fall to zero when the serum glucose level drops below approximately 83 mg %. In obese individuals, insulin blood levels rarely fall to zero. As little as one microunit of insulin in serum will prevent the breakdown of stored fat. Even starvation does not bring insulin levels to normal in obese subjects.
As people age, sensitivity of cells to insulin generally decreases due to sedentary lifestyles, poor diet, and the natural aging process. The pancreatic response to this is often hyper-secretion of insulin. Therefore, it is difficult for people to lose a significant amount of body fat as long as they suffer from insulin overload. A noticeable effect of excess serum insulin is constant hunger. This results in a vicious cycle where overeating causes more body fat to accumulate and in turn, causes greater amounts of insulin secretion. The most immediate and noticeable effect of too much insulin may be unwanted weight gain.
Mannoheptulose is a seven carbon sugar which is naturally found in avocado fruit. Mannoheptulose inhibits hexokinase in a predominantly competitive manner. Hexokinase is an enzyme which catalyzes the phosporylation glucose to glucose -6-phosphate (G6P), which is the first reaction of glycolysis. Therefore, ingestion of mannoheptulose is a logical method of decreasing insulin serum levels.
Previously, the potential usefulness of this seven-carbon ketogenated sugar has been limited by its unpleasant side effects (e.g., diarrhea, nausea) and poor absorption on oral administration. There are problems with unpleasant side-effects, and problems of transient hypoglycemia. Scientists have believed that orally administered mannoheptulose was limited to the extent which it could be absorbed in man, because of its laxative effect when orally administered. This effect is most likely an osmotic effect, similar to that of mannitol. Mannoheptulose has been shown to lower fasting and glucose stimulated peak insulin release in mammals including man.
The only oral pharmaceutical preparation available for hyperinsulinemia is diazoxide (sold under the tradename Proglycem®). which is also sold as an intravenous anti-hypertensive (sold under the tradename Hyperstat®). However, its usefulness has been limited by its significant side-effects and serious drug interactions. Treatment of obese patients with diazoxide lowers insulin levels, but also drops blood pressure dangerously and can intensify the effects of anticoagulants. The diazoxide intravenous solution must be administered with great

Vacancy
The by-election was held to fill the vacancy caused when the 67-year-old Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP) Sir Hildred Carlile resigned from the House of Commons on 20 November 1919 by the procedural device of accepting appointment as Steward of the Manor of Northstead. Carlile, who had held the seat since the 1906 general election (and was returned unopposed in 1918), cited ill-health as the reason for his departure from politics.
Electoral history
The result at the last General Election in 1918 was;
The previous election was contested and produced this result:
Candidates
The Conservative Party selected as its candidate 47-year-old Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Fremantle, who had previously been adopted as the party's candidate for the next general election, when Hildred Carlile was expected to retire. Fremantle was an army doctor who had served in the Second Boer War and in World War I, and had been a member of the London County Council since March 1919. The son of a Dean of Ripon, he had been a medical officer for Hertfordshire for 14 years.
Early reports suggested that the Liberal Party candidate would be a Major Conacher from New Barnet, but in the event the Liberals nominated Milner Gray, a company director who had stood unsuccessfully in Wellingborough at the 1918 general election.
The Labour Party candidate was John W. Brown, the secretary of the Shipping Clerks' Guild.
The Times reported on 28 November that there was "possibility, but not a probability" of a fourth candidate, from the right-wing National Party, but this did not materialise.
Nominations closed on 2 December, with polling set for 10 December.
Electorate
The old parliamentary borough of St Albans, which returned two MPs, had been disenfranchised in 1852 after a Royal Commission had found proof of extensive bribery. Deprived of its independent representation, the borough had then been represented as part of the three-seat Hertfordshire a county constituency. When the county constituency was divided in 1885, four new single-member county divisions were created, named after the major town in each area: the St Albans division was one of them, initially including the areas of High Barnet, Borehamwood, Elstree, Welwyn, Wheathampstead, and Har

Some practical guidance
-----------------------
From our analysis, we see that the value of $\lambda$ affects the coverage rates of the Monte Carlo CIs. This is likely due to the rate at which convergence of the MM estimates to their true values occur. A higher value of $\lambda$, relative to the other parameter values, leads to stronger mixing of the process and faster convergence. This lends better justification for Monte Carlo CIs. While one can rescale the temporal and spatial units of our data to some degree in order to achieve higher $\lambda$ estimates, this leads to a reduction in the area covered by our data and is in conflict with the increasing domain asymptotics underlying some theoretical properties of our estimators.\
One possible way to check if good coverage can be obtained is to calculate coverage proxies based on the empirical distribution of the MM estimates from the fitted model. For example, if we want to compute a proxy for the $95\%$ confidence interval coverage of the Monte Carlo CI for $\theta$, we can define $\theta_{L}$, $\theta_{M}$ and $\theta_{U}$ to be the $2.5^{\text{th}}$ quantile, median and $97.5^{\text{th}}$ quantile of its MM estimates from fitted model simulations. The initial MM estimate used to fit the model, that is the true parameter value of the fitted model, is denoted by $\theta_{E}$. A schematic for these terms is given in Figure \[fig:coverageproxy\].\
We work under the assumption that further simulations using a MM estimate along the range represented by the horizontal line would lead to estimates which have a similar distribution and relation to the true value as the one outlined by $\theta_{L}$, $\theta_{M}$, $\theta_{U}$ and $\theta_{E}$. In Figure \[fig:coverageproxy\], the filled black dots represent the leftmost and rightmost points for which $\theta_{E}$ lies within a 95% CI. Thus, they represent the extreme values that contribute to the calculation of the coverage. With this in mind, a simple coverage proxy can be calculated via: $$CP = ECDF(\theta_{E} + (\theta_{M} - \theta_{L})) - ECDF(\theta_{E} - (\theta_{U} - \theta_{M})),$$ where $ECDF$ is the empirical cumulative distribution function of the MM estimates.\
Table \[table:CoverageProxy\] shows the results when we apply this proxy to Choles

Marvelous Carmageddon 1
Here's a short post about some C1 stuff.
Everybody playing C1 knows about the annoying effect in the windows being kinda messed up. I had a look at the reason why it happens like that. First thing is that it isn't linked to the car at all. You can define a material on your car that the game will later replace with a sky material or area material if you are in a SFX volume. Actually these materials that the game is substituing are the "problem". Most of these materials are using the env map (loc) effect, like we use in C2 for chrome etc. and these materials are also rolling by default (controlled by the car's movement). As the env map in C1 is kinda ugly (pixelated) and not working the same way as in C2, Stainless decided to multiply both horizontal and vertical repeatition by 5! This was an unknown feature of the MAT files. And apparently it doesn't go well with the env map effect. Getting rid of the repeatition also get rid of the problem but then the material in the windows are very pixelated, enabling dithering on said material doesn't help. No idea what to do to solve this so far. And fixing this would be a lot of work as C1 uses a lot of these materials all around and they don't all beheave the same way.
At least this made me discover the UV repeatition! Not really sure how useful this could actually be (besides increasing the env map material) but I understood how it works. Hexediting a MAT file you can notice for each material entry a pair of 3F80h. The C1 materials using UV repeatition had 40A0h instead. So to put it simply, 3F80h = 1 and 40A0h = 5. However the scale value isn't a constant. It's decreasing at every power of two. Let me explain: 1 is 3BF0h, to get the texture to repeat to times you must add 80h and thus write 4000h, to go from 2 to 3 however as we passed by 2 power 1 we mustn't add 80h but 40h and write 4040h, it's the same to go to 4 (and write 4080h). Again as we leave 4 which is 2 power 2 the difference must be divided by two again and we must add 20h instead. From 8, the difference will be 10

Whenever a site writes an article and then goes to play a tournament, it
always annoys me that they never bother writing more clearly about it (I know
it's also a brevity and reader attention span thing, but still). Should the
author have just called with AQ? Who knows, it all depends on who raised,
which position that player raised from, the author's current position, and the
stack of each player (there's more but at least what I mentioned).
Position is one of the most important concepts in poker, and it's simple to
understand and explain. The fact that this article never uses that word once
means it has failed, even as a basic introductory article.
Back to the tournament: the author suddenly remembering effective stack, while
also having an M barely >0\. This is hilariously awful. It also means that the
author losing was probably not unlucky since the author barely had any chips.
I just glossed through the MIT site, and if you read page 10 on the tournament
lecture from the MIT website, it pretty much spells this out.
~~~
bcassedy
Also, there's just some plain painful stuff in there. "(the flop) reveals the
straight I've been chasing is no longer a possibility"? You don't really
"chase a straight" preflop and AQ is a not a hand that even the biggest noob
would refer to in that way preflop. It seems the author just wanted to include
something about "chasing", context be damned.
~~~
mapunk
I got the same feeling reading the article, but you have to realize that it's
written by a self-proclaimed "total novice." There's obviously going to be
some misuse of poker concepts and terminology.
